SPAIN . The Traiiob _Pbtm . —The Madrid Gazette of the _Ifth ult . publishes the following Royal decree , _grantjxeapardon to General Prim : — " In the exercise of the prerogative granted to me bythc 4 Cth article of the _Constitu-Uon , and bythe advice of my Council of Ministers , I remit the penaltv to which Major-General Don Juan Prim , fount de Reus , was condemned hy a court-martial _ccanposed of General Officers . " Given at the Palace on the 18 th of Jan ., 1845 , aud signed with the Queen ' s hand .

Sebastian , at Cadiz . Madrid has heen assigned to the General as " ni « place of residence .
Arrest asd Mcbdee of Zurbano . —Sews of tiie -arrest of Zurbano was received at Paris on Saturday . He was arrested on the 19 th at Logrbno , and shot at the erpiration of twenty-four hours . Tie following cricf particulars were received in London on Tnesday
jaornmg : — " Bayonne , Jan . 23 . * ' J informed yoa briefly yesterday of tiie arrest of General Zurbano . The _rumonrs which prevailed of _Ais escape into Portugal were spread by his friends , with a-view to loll the vigilance of the Government , and enable him to seize a favourable moment of reaching this frontier . Supposing this moment arrived , it appears that , in company of Ms broth erifl-law , Gavo _^ Muro , he left his MaW-ulace , at a
country house in the immediate neighbourhood of Logrono , and was immediately seized by the guards stationed on the road to arrest him . " The Governor of Logrono , warned by the fate of his predecessor , General Oribe , would allow of no delay , but immediately placed his prisoners ineapeUa , from which , at the end of twenty-four hours , they were led out to the place of execution . I need not add that this renowned partizan met his fate with ihe same indifference with which he would have inflicted it on Ms enemies .
" It was asserted that CayoMuro was arrested and _t-hotatthe same time as Zurbano ' _s eldest son , Don Benito . This was a mistake . It was another brc -her-m-law , named Martinez , who suffered on that _tmsion . " The following additional particulars are given by a K . rrespondent of the Times : — " Bayonne , Jan . 24 . Since my fast we have received some additional particulars ofthe fate of Zurbano . Be was discovered in'a house in the immediate neighbourhood of Logrono , on the road to the Sierra de Gamaras , near the spot where his two sons and other partisans had been arrested . The officer who effected his capture was an old comrade known under the sobri quet of El
Bayo ( the Thunderbolt ) . The latter had been long in puisuitof him , having sworn to take him alive or _ik-ad . Uishrother-in-law , Cayo Muro , a Major of cavalry , on half-pay , was shot dead endeavouring to escape hy a -window . Zurbano wag less fortUIUlte ; hang taken prisoner , he was led to Logrono , where lhe Governor , Brigadier Aynat , commanded him immediately to prepare for death . He was shot in the hack , in the market-place of Logrono , at eleven _tft-loek on the morning of the 21 st instant . This reno * sncd chief was the son of a peasant of Barea , a rur al fubm-b of Logrono , who destined him forthe _a-deaa-stjcal profession , hot tiie study of divinity _proving distasteful to him , he returned home and devoted himself to agriculture . De married -very _jc-iiDg , andhired a considerahlefarm at Barea , but the
. nrfetilcnce of his character rendering him nnnt for ibis peaceful occupation , he became a smuggler , and nis enemies say a robber . The ill-success of his _prarits , and consequent hardships , shortened the i _& of his youthful wife . lie shortly afterwards marnod his present wife , Hcrnicnegilda _jdartinez . He _tt-niinued his lawless life till the breaking out of the fivil war , when , having placed himself at the head of ¦ _Jsmallband , under the protection ofM .

and crowds ofthe people _assemhled in the public places . Canalizo shut himselfnp in the Palace with some 2 , 000 troops . Baranda , Rejon , and Salas . took r efuge with him . In the meanwhile , both the Liberals and clergy in the capital united in the revolutionary movement , and began to make preparations _against the common enemy . Congress , as well as the _Ayuntamiento , succeeded , in spite of Canalizo ' s decree , in having secret circulars printed , which were actively disseminated among all classes . The Government troops about the . Palace , seeing symptoms of the coming storm , began to waver . During the -itli and 5 th the excitement continued , and on the 6 th , multitudes of the people , armed , assembled at the Convent of San Francisco Here _«^ _-l - . I - . _^ jl . i « i -. . . _» * .-
the members of Congress were assembled , and anion " them Generals Hen-era , Garcia , Condc , and Cespcdes . The whole body inarched from the Convent to the square in front of the palace , which is near the centre of the city , and summoned Canalizo to surrender , giving bim two hours to reflect . Canalizo prepared to attack the citizens , when one of his officers , cxclrjming * that he was the soldier of no tyrant , but of the people , shouted "Long live the Congress . '" The cry was taken up hy nearly all the troops , aud Canalizo Jed hi terror to Ja-i apartments . Before leaving the Convent Gen . Herrera had _we-oared a letter , which he now sent to Canalizo , requestinghim
in order to spare the effusion of blood , to recognise the government ofthe Constitution and of Congress _, and to allow it to exercise its full powers . To this Canalizo returned , in quick succession , the following answers : — "Exmo Sr : —In order to avoid any unfortunate scenes or events in this capital , I am ready immediately to deliver np __ the command , and to evacuate this place at once , if guarantees are conceded to me . God and Liberty . National Palace of Mexico , December C , 1814 , half-past two o'clock in tiie afternoon . —Valentin Canalizo . —To his Excell lency , General of Division , D . J . Joaquin de Hen _* era . " In half an hour afterwards , General Canalizo sent
another dispatch , as follows : — "Exmo Sr : —The guarantees of which I spoke in my last dispatch , which I have just sent , are , that passports to leave the Republic shall be given to myself , to the four _Jlinisters , and to the Commandante General . God and Liberty . National Palace of Mexico , Dec . 6 , 18 M , three o ' clock in the afternoon . Valentin Canalizo . —To the Senor General of Division , D . J . Joaquin de Herrera . " After receiving these notes , Gen . Herrera . with bis troops forced their way into the palace , seized Canalizo and detained him with Salas prisoners in the palace , the Ministers of War and the Home Department being released on giving security , and Rejon and Baranda making their escape . Gen . Herrera then issued the following important proclamation : — "Jose Joaquin de Herrera , President of the Council of Government to the Inhabitants ofthe Mexicans
Capital , , —A blind and audacious government had violated the laws , believing that society was wholly dependent upon its decrees . But I , __ having been invoked by all classes and by the principal commanders and chiefs of the garrison , have re-established constitutional order , and am proud of having spared to Mexico and her vast population the anarchy and dissensions arising out of merely isolated efforts . I , therefore invite every patriot to rally around the legitimate government which Irepresent through the constitution ; and the national Congress , which has assembled within afew hours , will accomplish everytliing which the safety of the country requires from it . Thus will this momentous event be rendered worthy of national pr ide—a hope which is sincerely shared by your fellow-citizen , Jose J . De _Herkeka . — Mexico , December 6 th . _18-44 , "
On the _^ 7 th of December , the day following this proclamation , _anewgovernmentwas organized . General Herrera was constituted Provisional President ofthe Republic . His Cabinet is composed as follows : Don Pedro _Echeven-ia , Minister of Internal Affairs , _* Don Luis G . Cuevas , Minister of Foreign Affaire ; Don Cariano Rivapalacio . Minister of Justice and Public Instruction ; Gen . Pedro Garcia Conde , Minister of War and Marine . - The New Orleans Bee says that the newmimstry is composed of the ablest and most honest men in the Republic . Around it are arrayed all the power , wealth , and influence ofthe nation . Echeverria is a member of the firm of Widow , Echeverria and Sons , well known in the commercial world for its respectability and influence .
He was educated m England , and is a man of enlightened and sagacious intellect . Senor Cueves occupied the post of Minister for Foreign Affairs during the French eontest , and acquitted himself with signal ability . He was educated for a diplomatic career , and figured once as Minister to Prussia Conde is chief of the engineer corps ; he is the son of a Spanish General , and said to be a clever young man . The city of Mexico , was immediately filled with the most tumultuous rejoicings . Messages of congratulation were exchanged between the two Houses of Congress ,-and the new President was waited upon by thousands of his fellow citizens . The demonstrations of the mob were still more energetic and emphatic . Portraits or Santa Anna in the public places were
torn down and dragged through the streets , and torn into fragments , and eveiy one preserved a piece as a memento of their oppressor ' s downfall . The statue of Santa Anna in theplaza was tumbled down , broken in pieces , and the head borne in triumph through the city . It is also stated that the crowd , intoxicated with joy and frantic with revenge , afterwards proceeded to the monument where the embalmed leg of their Dictator had been buried with so much pomp a year or two since , broke it into atoms , and then kicked and dragged the embalmed limb through the plazas and principal thoroughfares of the city . Thus was achieved without bloodshed , in the capital city , the overthrow of Santa Anna . But the movement was by no means confined to the capital . Indeed not
a single department has been heard from * , which holds out for the Dictator . In Vera Cruz , always considered his str onghold , the movement was begun a few miles froni the city by Col . Senobio , who , with a few hundred followers , declared in favour of Congress . Soon after , Don Benito Quijano , Governor of Vera Cruz , pronouneed against Santa Anna , and in favour of the Congress , and immediately all was excitement and rejoicing . The popidacc first tore the portrait of the Dictator into tatters and then burned it inthe public square , after which they proceeded in crowds toward the houses of several citizens who were obnoxious from their known friendship for Santa Anna thirsting for vengeance , and threatening to take then * lives . Owing to the efforts ofthe
Commandante General their Jives were spared , he promising the populace that all those who had made themselves inimical to the best , interests ofthe people should be banished the city . On the following day order was completely restored , the citizens in the meantime forming themselves into military bodies to resist any attempt that might be made by Santa Anna , and his friends . On the evening ofthe 12 th of December , the tragedy of Brutus , or Rome made Free , was performed at the theatre in honour of the revolutionists . At Puebla the rising was nnamimous . The statue of Santa Anna was tumbled from its pedestal , and his portrait torn into shreds . At Jalapa a few persons were killed , and this is the only bloodshed during the entire revolution , so far as yet appears . Santa Anna himself was at Queretao ,
where he had about 2 , 500 men ; and even upon these It is most likely he can place but little reliance . His chance of escape seems but small . It is said that Congress has outlawed him unless he surrenders at once . It is further stated that the new Government offers hhn no terms short of his paying up the twelve millions of dollars ofthe public money he is charged with having uselessly squandered or appropriated to his own private purposes . This condition it can scarcely he possible to execute , and in default of complying with it , he is threatened with death . Should he " succeed in escaping from the country , it is rumoured that he will proceed to Cuba , where , with his princely revenues , he can still live in his accustomed splendour . His private fortune is estimated at some four millions of dollars .

Babxseet Weavers . — TheLinenWeavers of Smithy Mills having opened a branch lodge of the Barnsley Linen Weavers' Union , take this opportunity of inviting all Weavers who have not yet joined , to do so as soon as possible . Great Pubiic _Meetisb op thb Silk Weavers at Maccxesmeld , ix favo-cb of Protection . —A public meeting of the Silk Weavers of this town was held on Mondav last , at three o ' clock in the afternoon . The meeting , wliich was convened by the "Rights of Industry" Socictv was announced to take place at twelve o ' clock , on the Park-green ; but the dreadful state of the weather made it necessary to adjourn to
a large factory , which was also found to be inconvenient for the purpose , and _themMtinewasultunately held in the large open space on the Sand-brow , the speakers addressing the meeting through the factorv windows . Mr . Simister was called to the chair ; and Mr . Hnnswortb , the secretary , detailed the result ot interviews with the boroug h and county members , who were all favourable to any plan that might be deemed practical , to afford protection tothe working classes . After detailing the plan the society had m view , tliat of local Boards of Trade , by which prices might be nmiwiblv _an-auged between master » nd man , as well as all other dispute , he said Mr . Broeldehurst had told him that the time was come

when the Weavers must "declare whether they were willing to part with their protection , and as a consequence with their trade , for the free importation of com . He would leave that question with them . — Mr . John West then moved the first resolution"That this meeting is of opinion , that unless steps be taken to circulate more effectually the vast mass of wealth which our country at present contains , that that wealth , so far from proving a benefit , will prove a decided injury , and hasten our downfall as a nation and as the productive classes are and ever must be , the true circulating medium of every country , it is our decided opinion that protection for labour should be afforded them , as it would enable them , by increased
wages , to give employment to those that are idle ; and thus , by increasing the productive labour of the country , render us independent of foreign trade . " Mr . West supported the resolution in a long speech , in whicli he gave the Leaguers a severe castigation . — _- Mi * . D . Rowbotham , an old veteran in the weavers ' cause , seconded the motion , which was earned unanimously . —Mr . S . Bentotemoved the second resolution— " That a committee of inquiry be appointed to collect evidence of the rate ot wages , and the reductions that have taken place since the passing of _Huskisson's Bill ; and also the variations of prices paid at the present day by different manufacturers in the Macclesfield district , with a view of laying
tne same oetorc a delegate meeting of the whole Silk trade ofthe country , whose duty it will be to prepare a case to submit to Parliament the ensuing session : such delegate meeting to beheld in some central part of England . " Mr . McCarthy seconded it , and it was _cai-riea unanimously . —Mr . West then moved the following resolution , _obaerving if any Free Traders had any objections to make , now was the time , or for ever let themhold then * peace : — "That this meeting is of opinion that one great cause of the present depressed condition of the Silk Trade , and the consqucnt reductions of wages of tlie operatives employed therein , is the reduction of the protective duties ; and it is our docided
conviction that no alteration in the corn and provision laws could enable us successfully to meet French competition , owing to the great advantages possessed by that nation in their home production of the raw material , and various other natural advantages . " A Mi * . Edwards said it was unfair to bring forward that resolution , as the weather was so unfavourable , that the people could not stand to have it fully discussed . The meeting universally responded that they would wait till morning , if Mr . Edwards would discuss the question with Mr . West . Mi * . Edwards said " not that night . " Mr . West then stated that he was open to discuss the question with Mr . Edwards or any other person , at any time that might
be agreed upon . The motion was then put , and carried unanimously . After a vote of thanks to the chairman , and three tremendous cheers for protection to British industry , this great meeting separated _. This was the greatest blow ever the League received in Macclesfield , and nothing but the fixed determinsv tion of the men to give the lie to the different League spouters , who are continually asserting that the Silk Weavers are willing to give np their protection , could have induced them to stand in the snow , which was falling during the whole of the SDeeches . This meeting was a "great fact . " Let the League note it well . Dcxcombe Testimonial . _—Ck-ntiul Committee of

Awful Boiler Explosion. — On Monday Afte...
Awful Boiler Explosion . — On Monday afternoon last , a tremendous explosion of a steam boiler took place at the Cinder Hill Collier }' , near Nottingham , by Avhich one unfortunate man lost his life , and several " others were severely wounded . The awful event is supposed to have been caused by a deficiency of water in the hoiler . The engine-house was completely levelled , for such was the terrific force of the steam that the top of the boiler was projected into the air almost as high as the tall chimney , and was thrown into an adjoining field . A lad , named George
Sanders , agcdlo , of Old Radford , was blown backwards with _considerable force ; he received a severe wound upon the head , and was taken up insensible . A higlev , Charles Eaton , of Old Radford , aged 51 , who was standiug about ten yards from the engine-house , was also thrown within two feet ofthe pit mouth ; he had his leg broken . The overseer , who was near the spot , was struck upon the chest by a brick , with such force as to cause immediate death . There were many other persons about , most of whom were more or less injured .
Fire at Vicker ' s Distillery . —On Friday , at noon , considerable alarm prevailed in the vicinity of the Borough market , in consequence of the sudden out-, break of a fire , which at one time threatened great destruction of property , upon the extensive and wellknown range of premises belonging to Messrs . Joeepk and John Vickers , the distillers , situate in Stoneystreet , near Barclay and Perkins's brewery . The fire originated in the _atill-house , a large building m wliich there were four or five stills at work . It was caused bv an escape of spirit through the manhole of a still containing about 1200 gallons . With all speed numerous engines of the London brigade were at the scene , and also one belonging to the West of England
Company . The workmen having exerted themselves in a most praiseworthy manner in drawing off the spirit , & c , all danger of the fire extending was atan end bv the tune the brigade arrived , and one engine was found sufficient to cool the building . Alarming Fike _ato Narrow Escape of Two Perso . vs . — Friday night , between nine and ten o'clock , a fire was discovered burning upon the premises in the occupation of Mr . Moses Beyman , tailor and draper , earning on business at _Ao . '& , Eveline-place , Commercial-road East . Tbe first . discovery was made bv a female servant , who had been left in cbavge of a child , during the absence of her master and mistress . It appears that she bad her
attention directed by smelling fire veiy strongly , and which was accompanied with a loud cracking noise as of wood undergoing the process of combustion . Feeling convinced that a fire was raging in tne shop , she took the child up in her arms , and made for the door , when she found the same fastened ; she therefore went to the bach window , and having given an alarm , succeeded in making her way with the child to the top of the water-butt , where she was forced to remain until extricated by a neighbour . There being an abundant supply of water at hand the firemen , with the aid ot the neighbours , succeeded in soon extinguishing the fire , not however until considerable damage had been done to the stocK in trade and also to the building .

had fallen off near Boreham , about four miles from the station . A messenger was immediately dispatched along the line in search of him , and he was found lying across the rails in a state of insensibility . By this time an engine sent back on the arrival ofthe tram from Colchester had come up and proceeded at a rapid pace to Chelmsford , where the assistance of Air . Lovell , surgeon , was procured , Gardner having been in the moan time removed to the Cock publichouse at Boreham . On examination the unfortunate man appeared to be lifeless , a death-like coldness
prevading his whole frame , and although only slight external injuries were apparent , he remained in a state of insensibility until yesterday morning , at one o ' clock , when he expired . From the statement of the policeman , it would seem that deceased descended from Ms seat with a view to speak to some one in the train , when he accidentally missed his footing and fell . He was a fine young man , about 28 years of age , and has left a widow , who was in attendance upon him when he died , and two children—Chelmsford Chronicle .
Fire and Loss of Life . —Late on Thursday night a fire broke out at No . 2 , Blue Anchor-yard , St . George ' s in the East , which was let out to several poor families . Smoke issuing out of the second floor front , caused some persons to make the discovery . Upon entering the apartment , the bed was found in a complete blaze , and a little girl , about four years of age , burnt in such a dreadful manner that she expired shortly afterwards . The flames were eventually confined to the room in question . The origin of the outbreak is unknown .
Accident on the Great Western Railwat . —On Thursday 'morning an accident occurred upon this line of railway that will probably be attended with a fatal result . A goods train left Paddington at halfpast four o ' clock in the morning , and stopped at the West London Junction at Wormwood Scrubs , to attach another carriage . One ofthe guards , named _IIoratiaJNelson Toiveraer , descending for the purpose of attaching the connecting chain or driving bar , had imprudently ventured in between the train and the stationary truck whilst the former was in the act of backing into the " siding" where that truck stood .
The consequence of such an imprudent step was , that as the man stooped to adjust the chain Ins head became jammed between tho buffers ofthe last truck in the goods train and the stationary one . The unfortunate man dropped instantly . He was picked up immediately in a senseless state , with the blood pouring from his cars . He was removed to St . _Georges Hospital where ,. ' upon examination , it was astertained that ho had received a severe fracture at the base of the skull , and the injury was considered of so extensive a nature that his recovery was thought uncertain .
Mxstehious _Deatb at Camden Town . —On _Thursday Mr . Wakley , M . P ., and a most respectable jury , assembled at the Elephant and Castle , King's-road , Camden Town , to investigate the death of Mr . Anthony Portington , aged 64 , house and land agent , Of No . 1 , Oxf 01 _'d _» crcsC 01 lt , Who was found drowned in the Regent ' s Canal , on the morning of Tuesday last , under very mysterious and suspicious circumstances . The jury returned a verdict of Found Drowned , but how deceased came in the water there was no
evidence to show . Fire is Gray ' s-inn-lane . —On Tuesday night , shortly before ten o ' clock , a fire , which had it not been for its timely discovery , would have been attended with the mOst disastrous consequences , _broie out upon the extensive premises belonging to Messrs . Owen and Stodard , pianoforte manufac turers , situate in Ham-yard , Gray ' s-inn-lane . It originated on the ground-floor , in which a large quantity of shavings were deposited . A person
passing near that part of the building perceived an unusual light therein , whieh induced liim to raise the necessary alarm . Several police-constables and other persons hastened to the spot , when they found the flames making fearful progress towards the upper floors . Plenty of water being at hand , they set to work most vigorously , and succeeded in confining the -flames , to that portion of the building where they commenced . Several engines of the brigade were prompt in arriving , but fortunately their services were not required .
DREADFUL MURDER AND SUICIDE IN PINSBUIIT . Shortly after the opening of the Worship-street police-court on Friday morning , an official communication was made to Mr . Bingham , the sitting magistrate , by Inspector Jevvis , of the G division , of a frightful tragedy which had been enacted in the neighbourhood ofthe court , in the course of the preceding night . The inspector stated that about ten o ' clock that morning information arrived at tlie police station in _Featliei-stonc-strect , where lie was on duty , that a man , named Joseph Barry , a surgical instrument maker , residing at No . 4 , Luke-street , Finsbury , had , during the preceding night , murdered his wife . Mary _Priscilla Bam * , and afterwards
nVstroyed himself , by cutting his throat with a razor . He ( the inspector ) immediately proceeded to the house , and , from inquiries , ascertained the following particulars of this dreadful occurrence : —It appeared that the only parties _residinjj in the house were tne man Barry and his wife , both of whom were considerably advanced in years , and their youngest son , a lad about fifteen years of age . The wretched man had been absent on business the greater part of the day , and on his return home , about ten o'clock at night , after sitting a short time in the parlour , In company with Ms wife , with whom he appeared to be on the best of terms , he told her to go up stairs to bed and that he would soon follow her . The woman complied with
his wish , and the husband remained below a consi derable tiine after , apparently asleep in a chair hy the side of the fire ; but on being roused by his son , who urged him to retire to rest , he started up , with a look of peculiar wildnesa in his eyes , and wishing him a hasty good night , repaired to his sleeping apartment , the front room on the first floor . Shortly afterwards the son also went to bed in a room on the storv above , and on awakening at nine o ' clock the following morning and proceeding down stairs , he was surprised to find that neither of his parents had yet risen . He went up to their bed-room for ihe purpose of calling l ! j' received no answer , and finding that the door was locked on the inside , his fears became peatly excited , and on looking through the keyhole
he was horror-struck at discovering that the upper parts of the sheets and bed , which stood close against the window , were completely saturated with blood . He instantly hastened in a state of extreme terror to the next housej which was occupied by his two elder brothers , and . on apprising them of what he had just witnessed they ran back with him and burst open the bed-room door , where they found their parents extended side by side on the bed , with their throats cut in a horrible manner , and both of them apparently lifeless . On recovering from the shock produced by such an appalling sight a messenger was dispatched for Mr . Hall , a surgeon , in Paul-street , who soon after attended ; but , on examining the bodies , he
declared his inability to render the slightest assistance , as both the man and his wife had evidently been dead for some hours . Theinspector , accompanied by policeconstable Eames , G 104 , who arrived at the house directly after the surgeon had left it , made a minute exaimnation of the room in which the shocking occurrence had taken place , and on searching the floor at the foot of tho bed found two razors , both of them open and covered with blood , one lying close to the left foot-post of the bedstead , and the other between the opposite vallancc and the wall adjoining the window _^ Beside the spot where tho first razor was discovered tho officers found a chair , on which wa 3 placed an open razor-case , greatly discoloured with recent impressions of bloody fingers ;

and it . was , therefore , supposed that after cutting his wife ' s throat with one of the razors , the wretched man had returned to the ease for the second weapon , and , getting into bed with it , afterwards destroyed himself in the same maimer . From the _unruflied appearance of the bed-clothes , and the placid expression ofthe unfortunate woman ' s countenance , it was likewise manifest that she had not _bfCll disturbed by her husband ' s movements , and that he must have murdered her in her sleep . The inspector concluded by stating that a great many rumours were in circulation assigning motives for the horrible deed , but that the whole of them were purely imaginary ;
as from all the inquiries lie had made it appeared that the murdered woman and her husband had lived on the most cordial and affectionate terms ; and , as they were also in very comfortable circumstances , it was impossible to conceive any reason for the perpetration of tho dreadful acts . The melancholy occurrence has created a most painful sensation in the neighbourhood , and attracted vast crowds to the house during the whole of the day . The deceased had lived a great many years in the locality , and together with their sons , who are in the same line ol business in the house immediately adjoining , had , by tho propriety of their conduct , acquired the respect and goodwill of all their neighbours . :

Sands , George-street , St . Giles ' s . It appeared , from the evidence of an Irishman in the employ of Sands , that the prisoner had , for some weeks past , lodged at the prose cutor _' s house , but as she had mishehaved herself , lie was extremely anxious to got rid of her , and on Friday night she was forcibly ejected .

The Late Murder asd Suicide at _hixsnuRT . - _^ . Coroner's Inquest on the Bodies . —lhis afternoon ( Saturday ) Mr . W . Baker , coroner lor tho eastern division of Middlesex , and a highly respectable jury , assembled at the Old Blue Last Tavern , Curtain-road , Shorcditch , for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances _attending the respective deaths ot Air . Joseph Barry , aged C 4 years , and Priscilla his _\ _yite , aged G 3 years , both of whom were found with their throats cut , at No . i , Little Luke-street , Finsbury , on the morning of Friday last , as detailed in another part of our journal . The jury having been sworn , they proceeded with the coroner to VICW tllC bodlCS _, whicli presented a shocking appearance . Upon their return to the inquest-room the followine ; evidence
was taken : —The first witness examined was Henry Harry , an interesting youth about 15 years of age , a son of the deceased , who said : My father was a surgical instrument-maker , and resided at No . I , Luke-street . For several days past 1 have seen a marked difference in his manner towards me . Jf I did not do the work he set me right , he used to swear at mc , which Itc was not accustomed fo do previously . On _JlVdnosdny he looked vcrv wild , and complained of a great pain in the head , lie did not have medical attendance , anil seldom took notice of such matters . I believe Ill ' s circumstances were good , but he had to call several times upon some customers for tlieir accounts , whicli I think harassed him a great deal . On
Thursday night my father came home about five o ' clock , partook of liis tea , and went out again , but did not return until ten o ' clock . He then seemed deeply in trouble , _andwhilstiny brother was reading tho newspaper , ho looked in a wild and peculiar manner . My two brothel's sleep at __ No . 3 , and myself , father , and mother , at No . 4 , in Lukestreet . I slept till nine o ' clock , and my two brothers got up , and took tlieir breakfast , on Friday morning . About tweuty niiuutes to ten , I went up to arouse my father , thinking he was oversleeping himself . I shook the room door , but receiving no answer , Ilooked through the key-hole , aiids . iw ( hebffd-clothes covered with blood . 1 raised an alarm , and my brothel's coming up , thev forced the door . I then
saw my father and mother in bed alongside each other , and covered up as usual . Upon uncovering them I found that both their throats wore cut . They were lying upon tlieir backs .. My impression is , that my father committed both the acts , for on the previous night he went out , and said my brother had not fastened the door . I said that the door could not be fastened from the outside . As 1 lay in bed the same night , about eleven o ' clock , I persuaded my father to go to bed ; be then looked very singular , and laughed wildly at me . On a shelf in my room two razors were lying in the morning , but I did not see him remove them . I however saw him go to the shelf ; he then complained about some gruel there , which I think was merely for excuse . After the evidence
of police constable Evans , whose statements were of no importance , Mr . J . _JIall , surgeon , of Paul-street , Finsbury , said : I was called to the case yesterday morning ; the female was lying on her back , her hands extending rather upwards . Mr . Barry was lying more upon the right side ; round Mrs . Barry ' s neck was a red cotton net ; her features were composed , showing that her throat had been cut during her sleep ; there was a deal of care about the countenance of the male . The right hand of Barry was partially clenched with blood , inside and without , leading to the inference that he had held something shortly before death . I saw sonic blood Oil thefloor ,
near the door , where I also saw a razor ; my impression is , that both tlie wounds were inflicted whilst the parties were in bed . I mean that Mr . Barry , -after having cuthiswife ' sthroat , gotinto bed again , and cut his own . The wounds were the cause of death . I had no opportunity of seeing tho husband while alive , but I had attended the wife professionally . The coroner summed up at great length , and the jury returned the following verdict : — " That the deceased ( _Priscella Barry ) died from the effects of a wound in the throat inflicted by her husband , who afterwards cut his own throat , he being at the time of unsound mind . "
The Ministerial Guanoes . — ( From the Post of Saturday . )—Nothing decisive has officially transpired since wc last alluded to the rumoured alterations in the personal construction of the Queen ' s Govern _, ment . The general belief still is , that Lord Dalhousie will be President of the Board of Trade , in tho place of Mr . Gladstone ; Sir Thomas Fremantle , Secretary for Ireland , vice the present Earl of St . Germans ; Mr . Sydney Ilerbert , having refused the Irish Secretaryship , is to become Secretary at War , to replace Sir T . Fremantle , and have a seat inthe Cabinet ; and the Earl of Lincoln , retaining his office of First Commissioner of Woods and Forests , also to hold a scat in the Cabinet . But , having mentioned the appointments that it is understood have been acceptcd , wc believe we may state that , among those that have not , the Earl of Lonsdale declines a seat in the Cabinet , as Viscount Sandon alfiO did when the Presidency of the Board of Trade ( as a Cabinet Minister ) was offered to him .
