Mr. George Palmer And The Press. — Mr. G...
Mr . George Palmer and the Press . — Mr . George Palmer ( brother to the prisoner Palmer ) intends , ifc is said , to bring actions for libel against some journals that have inserted rumours prejudicial to his character in connexion with , an insurance transaction . The facts , as stated by Mr . George Palmer , are as follows : —Mr . George Palmer purchased for £ . 75 , a . s an investment , the life interest of a person named Mot tram , in a small property at Alrewas , and expended . ¦ £ 15 in repairs . He insured the interest , in duo course of business , for £ 100 , in the Scottish Amicable , that office having an agent , Mr . George Smith , at Rugcley . Although it i . i true that , Alottram . having died after one premium only had been paid , Mr . George Palmer recovered the £ 100 , yet , with , interest , premium , and expenses , this amounted to no more than repaid to him the sum invested . It happened , also , about the same period , that Mi-a . Palmer , the mother of the Rev . Thomas Palmer , had bargained , under the advice of Mr . George Palmer , her son , acting as her solicitor , to purchase , as a provision for the rev . gentleman , the reversion of a living for £ 5 , 000 . The incumbent was seventy years of age ; . bub , as is usual in all such cases it would have been necessary to take precautions , in case of the death , of the Itev . Thos . Palmer before that of the incumbent , that the investment should not be lost . An inquiry , therefore , was made of the
agent of ths Scottish Amicable as to terms ; but'this went no farther , nor were any proposals sent" in , because the bargain Avent off from the vendor's inability to make out what Mr . George Palmer could advise upon as a good title for the purchase . Miss Thomasina . Ross . —Her Majesty , on the recommendation of the Premier , has conferred a pension of £ 50 on Mias Thomasina Ross , known for her long connexion with literature , and her translations from the French , German , and Spanish . The Bankruptcy of William Palmer . —The appeal in the matter of the adjudication of a fiat of bankruptcy against William Palmer , the surgeon of Rugele 3 % came on for' hearing before the Commissioner in the Birmingham District Court of Bankruptcy on Monday . The adjudication was disputed on technical grounds , having reference chiefly to the bankrupt not
Having naci nliiuuiciiii uiluc iiuuweu uiui i / U u . p 2 Je ' against the original petition . Mr . Commissioner Balgiry was clearly of opinion that he was bound to hear the bankrupt against the validity of the adjudication .. It was tlien annulled ; and a fresh petition presented , which the court refused to open ; The Late Poisoning Cases . — At the close of a lecture delivered on Monday evening at the Bristol Philosophical Institution , Mr . William Herapatli , the emiueut analytical chy mist and professor of toxicology , took the opportunity of adverting to the state of alarm which had been produced in . the public mind by the recent alleged secret poisonings at Rugeley , Manchester , and elsewhere . The apprehensions
which , the cases to which he had referred had given rise liad , he said , been much increased by certain * statements which had been put forth , and which as he understood them , were these—that prussio acid could not be discovered tne at tnan
m system more fourteen days , that sti'ychnia could only be detected a ' few hours after death , and that cocculus iudicus could not be detected at all . Now he had himself detected the presence of prussic acid in a human body after au interment of two months ; he had found cocculus indicm in dead fishes and in a human body after it had been buried for ten months . The difficulties in the way of detecting poisons of this class were not , therefore , so insurmountable as some supposed ; and lie hopod that the knowledge of the fact would have the effect of reassuring the public mind . Ciiime in Ireland an » England . — Archbishop
Cullen , in a recent pastoral , calls attention to the small amount of crime now to be observed in Ireland , ( especially the Roman Catholic parts ) , and the largo umounb which disgraces England ; deducing therefrom n moral in favour of Catholicism . In contrast with the bitter tone of this document mny be mentioned nn article in the papistical organ , the Cork Scuthcrn Reporter , formerly a physical forco Repeal paper , the writer of which says that Ireland ' s quarrel with England is at rm end , owing to the recent acts of Imperial justice- " Ouo fair concession blots from an Irishman ' s memory tho roinombranco of fifty injuries . " Another Riccedep , from the Cuunoiz of England . —Tho Rev . W . A . Weguelin , of South Stoko , broth or to a Dirootor of tho Bank of England , haa givon up his living , and go « o over to tlio Church of Koine . Mr . Bv / SAi / tuTTBi hftB boon appointed onginoor to the Metropolitan Board of Works .

Money Market And City Intelligence. Lond...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . London , Friday Evening , Feb . 1 , 1850 . The Queen ' s Speech at the opening of Parliament , briefly and slovenly prepared , hns disappointed the Money Market dealers . Hints of heavy bills to pay , and the utter omission of tho United States , does not look to the Bulls at all promising . Meanwhile , during the week Consols have been very hU-h- Large Bear operators have closed their accounts , nnd this has given the Market ? an upward appearance . Heal heavy sales , and the Hebrew party realising profits on their Bull transactions . The extraordinary dearnesa of money , the vast speculations floing on in all tho Foreign Stocks and general Share Markets , have had tho effect of neutralising the rise . Yesterday , at one o ' clock ; , Consols wwnoii . immediately after the Roval Speech was nub . ¦
lirthed the prices were lower . The discussion last night on the Ad (\ rc .-s in the two Houses of Parliament , and the admission of Lord Clarendon that he doubted tho sincerity of Kussin , hns brought in sellers . ' 1 'he markets at 12 o ' clock to day is l ) 0 g , J . Turkish Stock Is 1 per cent , lower , but it keeps up better than usual , owing to ji groat amount having been taken off tho market . In shares the prices are lower , particularly in Great-Northern Stock , despite of tho boasted anticipatory dividend of 0 \ per cent per annum . The settlement on nhnres wliloli took placo yesterday haed been a very heavy one . but it is gratifying to think Hint , notwithstanding the sudden rise in all description of necessities , in i » omo canes 10 and i 2 percent , in one account , that only three small failures have ooouvrei . Tho Consol sqttling is looked for next week with considerable interest and some anxiety , a » it is well known the losses of the Bonra must be very houvy . Mo . intlmc , tho flatness in Consols hns ohecked the rookie-s sp dilution for a rise that has prevailed during the last ten days It ia very possible that tho settling the nocouttt will send Consols down to S . tft . Tho American difficulty onuseu aoino unenslnosa , tout at present docs not affoot tho lnurUota especially . In heavy Shares , Great Western , Klnningham , and Dover ' s are very buoyant i Eastern Counties are Armor Canada Shares nro all well hold , and an ) only a shade lower , owing to the doarnesn of inonoy . Tho nc \ t point of Intercut will ho tl » o requirements of tho Chancellor of » ho Exchequer—probably sa small loan—and if bo , tho IIVt > rewn , who have always timely warning , show tholr sense in depreciating the price of Consols , thnt the loan may bo taken at a low 11 / juro .
