The barn , which wa 3 of extensive dimen 5 ion 3 , and had only been finished last autnmn , was filled with barley , all of which was consnmed by the flames . The stock -was insured in the Globe Offici . The Duilding ( the property of Lord Heytesbury ) was uninsured . —Balh Journal .

Conolly , ibe author ^ a wtllknown book of travels in the east . It appears that these gentlemen , travelling through theconntry , were seized as spies , and that both were beheaded in the market-place—Colonel Stoddart first , and Captain Con « Uy after , the latter having refused to save his life by renouncing Christianity .

The Herring Fishkkt . —In Orkney the herring fishery has been very successful during the last month , particularly at Lewis , where herrings were selliBg a week ago at the low price of 5 > . a cran .

      Shocking Cibcemstance . —On Tbnrsday an inquest was held at the Mew Bailey , before Mr . W . S . Rutter , on view of the body of William Lippet , sixty years of age , who died on the morning of that day under the following circumstances : —The deceased , we understand , had been employed by the Rev . Dr . Beard , to take care of some unoccupied propt-rty in Brongnton , and in thelasi week in December , in consequence of strong suspicions that he was not honest , nformation was given to the county police , and an oEcer was sent to ' the premises to search the deceased ' s boxes . Whilst the effieer was stopping down , and in the act of searchujg a box , the deceased took the opportunity of stabbing him with a gouge , inflicting several severe wounds on his thighs and

      the lower pars of his body , from wmch he has not yet recovered . The deceased wa 3 immediately taken into custody , and lodged in the New Bailty , where he died at the time above-mentioned . The first witness called was Richard Walker , turnkey of the prison , who stated , that on Sunday , the 1 st of Jan ., the deceased and nine otl er prisoners were together in one lock-np , in the front psrt of the gaol , witness having the care- of them . One of the prisoners , a man named "Watson , requested witness to lend him a razor , te shave himself with . It had been the practice for a length of time for the prisoners to shave themselves , and witness lent him the razor . Some tess-afserwards -witness heard an alarm in the lock-up , and on going immediately to learn its cause ,

      found that tbe deceased had cut Ms ibroat . He was at that time walking up and down in ihe lock-up , defying any one to touch him , and exclaiming , " Let me die , let me die . " Witness immediately sent a messeng-T to Mr . Stott , surgeoB , who arrived in about ten minutes . William Watson , the man to whom the razor was len { , stated that after he and three otctr prisoners in the lock-np had f-haved themselves , the deceased requested a man Dame ; "Wilkinson to shave him . Wilkinson did so , after which the deceased got the razor and wiped it upon his sleeve , and then put it to hi 3 throat and said , " Good by , my lads ; and tsll them that it is the fault of the parson that this is done , " at the same instant drawing the razor backward and forward

      across his throat . Witntss ran to him , and after a severe struggle got the razar from him , whilst the xesi of lise prisoners were shouting for the turnkey . Mr . W . B . SJott , assisrant-surgeon to the gaol , described the wound in deceased ' s throat as being three inches in lengtB . The windpipe was quite exposed , but not divided . Several of the muscles were cm through , but the principal vessels were saved . The deceased had , however , lost a great quantity of blood . "WaineE 3 attended to him in the usual way , and after that he was put to bed in the hospital of the prison . On the fourth day the woimd was

      looking well , and as if it would quickly heal ; bat the deceased was exceedingly nnmanageablej and on the sixth day the wound "was again drawn open , and the first objecfin healing was quite defeated . On Sunday the 8 th instant , he was put under restraint , but still continued to move his head and body , and the disturbed state . of bis intellect kept increasing until his death . Witness -was of opinion that the decease was insane . He had examined his head since death , and found disease of the- brain , which appeared to lave been going on for some time . It was Ms opinion that the deceased would have recovered from the effects of the wound , and that the deceased state

      of the brain wa 3 the caose of death . The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the opinion of the surgeon . The deceased was a married man . — * l < mchesler Guardian ,

      X > espbbatb Assaitlt . —On Tuesday evening the turnkey of Kirkaldy gaol entered a cell in which were confined two prisoners—one for sbeepstealing and another for some other theft—for the purpose of giving them sapper . As is nsual , he locked tbe door , and instantly one of them seized him by the throat and bore him backwards . Recovering himself , he struck the opponent a Wow on the head with the key which knocked him senseless on the floor . Immediately the other prisoner seizsd him the same manner .

      A severe struggle ensued , when the noise the combatants made reaching tbe gaoler , he came running to the door , and the turnkey having got hi .- ! knee upon his opponent ' s breast , while he held him down by the throat with his left hand , opened the door with the other and admitted the gaoler . The prisoners were then seeured and laid in iron ? . There caa be no doubt that the object they had in view was to effect their escape , and certainly the turnkey deserves great praise for the intrepid manner in which he resisted them . —Caledonian Mercury .

      Fatal Accidents . —The following loss of life took place at Graogemontb one evening last week . A sailor who bad been onshore , in going along a plank to return to the vessel , which was lying in the canal , accompanied by a young woman , happeaed to lose his balance , and , catching hold of the girl , both unfortunately fell into the water . An old woman who was near the spot at the time of the accident gave the alarm , and , it is reported , rushed into the water td lend her feeble aid to save the drowning couple . The captain of the vessel also plunged into the water for the same humane purpose , but perished . Exertions were . now made by several people to remove the bodies from the water . The captain was taken out lifeless . The bodies of the girl and sailor were taken out clasped in each other ' s arms . The poor old woman wa ? taken out alive , but is not expected to snrvive . —Caledonian Mercury .

      A Couxcjl of French Ministers was held on Thursday , under the Presidency of Marshal Soult . It was reported in the Salle des Conferences of the Chamber , that the Council had taken into consideration the result of the discussion which arose the preceding day in the bureaux relative to the right of rearch and the Spanish question . The majority of the Cabinet appeared disposed to accept , in the address , a phrase expressive of a wish that negotiations might be opened for the revision of the treaties of 1831 and 1833 . M . Guizot did not share this opinion of his coUf-seues , but held to tkeir execution .

      It is said that Sir Henry Hardinge purposes to bring forward several measures which he recommended when giving his evidence before the committee on military punishments . Among others , we understand that the comfortless state of the soldiers ' barrack room will be remedied , and that many of the useless and harassing regulations will be done away with ; for instance , a soldier is not allowed to smoke in his room ; he 13 not allowed to sit down on his bed , nor to mend his shoes in his room . Such absurd restrictions onghttobe removed . The crowding together

      of the men is also another annoyance : the rooms etight to better arranged , and not more than twelve or fourteen men should be put into them . We trust that these and many more beneficial alterations may be introduced . We are , however , of opinion that noth-ng can be effected to make the soldier contented while serving , except limited engagements , and an alteration in the issue of the bounty , 50 that the recruit may join free from debt , and commence his career on his full daily pay . —Naval and Military Gazelle .

      Railway Stoppage by S . now . —As the Exeter mail wasproceeding down the Southampton railway one night last week , the train , either from the heavy fall of snow on the line , or from the inability of the engine to proceed further , was suddenly brought to a stand-still about seven miles beyond Woking station . Accordingly the train put back to that station , where an additional engine was obtained , and the train proceeded on its way . When , however , within a short distance of the place where the stoppage occurred , it was again impeded bvthe breaking of the

      axle c f one of the engines , and again forced to put back to Woking . The mail was delayed by these circumstances upwards of two hours . Travellers u pwards , from Devonshire and Cornwall , describe the fall of snow a 3 very heavy dnring the night . The Dover and Hastings mails were behind time nearly two boure in reaching London from the depth of snow on tbe route . All the hills and valleys on the road to Tunhridge-Wells and Dover are heavily covered with snow , and Shooter '^ -hill has entirely changed its aspect within a few hours .

      Ibon Trade . —The usnal quarterly meetings of the ironmasters were held during the la .-t week . The anticipations that a considerable demand would have arbeh from the settlement of affaira in the East and the commercial treaty with China , were not realized , having been checked by the delay in the completion of the arrangements with Spain and Portugal , which caused hesitation on the part of purchasers of iron , while the expectation of their being speedily and favourably concluded induced the ironmasters and holders to be firm , and but few sales were effected and no very large contracts made . A confident expectation exists , however , that as spring advances , and the arrangements alluded to are completed , there will be an increased demand , with a full maintainance of pre ? ent prices , if not a considerable advance . The sales made by needy individuals , under such suspense , cannot be considered to form a criterion of ihe marktt prices . —Birmingham

      Gazelle . Edisbubgh Sscw ball Biot . —On Friday , about twelve o ' clock at coon , the time when the medical students usually proceed to their respective classes in the High School yards by way of Infirmary-street , a number of policemen , amonnting to about eight or twelve , were loitering about the la ^ t-mentioned Elace , when a few boys commenced throwing snowails at one another . As the students passed , a few of them joined those already engaged with the snowballs . Although we must confess we saw no injury offered to enher the property or the person of any one , however , the policemen very rashly interfered , which made the balls fly thicker than before , and a number of the students took possession of the space within the walls of the Infirmary . The policemen being all the time in Infirmary-street , made a rush where smart skirmish ensued between

      at the gate , a them and the students , which lasted some minutesthe policemen doin- ; their best to make prisoners of the student ? . Tbey were repelled , however , and pushed outside of the gate . One of them ran to the police-office for more assistance , and soon after , Lieutenant iKorr and a reinforcement of police arrived , who we : ) e loudly hooted by the mob , who had now begun to collect in large bodies . About one o ' clock there could not be less than 600 students opposite the College . Snowballs were flying in all directions at the police , and all the shops in the neighbourhood were closed . Several students vreie takp . n and then rescued by the mob . However , after several hours riot and fighting , the police rucceeded in securing the roost violent of tbe party , and at fire o'clock tranquillity was completely restored . —Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle .

      Distress of the Ibish Fabmsbs . —At the Newry Quarter Sessions , on Friday , Mr . Jonc , the assistant-barrister , in his charge to the grand juiy , gave the following account of the increase of litigation , resulting from the protracted and still existing distress of the fanners : — " At the sessions for the present quarter , he had h < -ard 30 C 0 civil bills—2000 at Newtowcards , and 1000 at Hilsborough . There "would probably be anoihf-r 1000 at these sessions , making altogether 40 u 0 civil bill entries . There was a larger number of entries than ever he had known to he brought before him at tho sessions for a single

      quarter . Since he first came to this country there was a positive increase of one-fourth in the number of civil bill entries . The extraordinary increase on the present occasion he attributed to the very depressed state of the lower classes . Though the last harvest was a most luxuriant and bountiful one , yet still , in consequence of the low price ^ it did . not afford an ad < quate remuneration . " This , let it be borne in mind , is the description given hy a Tory Assistant-barrister of the condition of the farmers in what is termed * ' the crack Protestant cour . ty of ireland . "— Dublin Evening Post .

      Madame Yestbis ' s Beaoty . — The New York Theatre was crowded to excess on the first night of Madame Testris ' s ( now Mro . C . Matthews ) appearance , but it was remarked that there was a want of lightness in her step , ana an angularity in the contour of her face , which was attributable to advancing age . On the second night , however , her appearance completely C 0 D *» radicted this inference , for her movements were ss elastic , and her face as beautiful , as ever . —Fatigue -was the main cause of her being seen to less "advantage tbe first night ; and its removal was no € oubt owing to her high estimation and use of Ho ' aoway's Ointment , which 13 superlative in giving tone to the frame ; as well as of singular tfBs » cy in paralysis , scrofnla , rheumatism , gout , canoer , wounds of all kinds , &c .

      STOPPAGE OF THE BANK OF PARKER , SHORE , AND CO . OF SHEFFIELD . ( From a Third Edition ojthe Sheffield Independent . ) I * , is our deeply affliotive duty to announce the worst piece of local news that ever was published in Sheffield , —the stoppage of the Sheffield Old Bank of Messrs . Parker , Shore , & Co ., that highly respected firm , who have earned and maintained until this time , a degree of public confidence sueh as no country bankers have exceeded . The disastrous intelligence is conveyed in tho following notice : — " It is with the deepest regrot that Messrs Parker , Shore , and Co ., announce to their much valued connection and the pablic , that , owing to the long-continued commercial depression , and the heavy losses , which their banking-house has sustained in preceding years , they are under the necessity of suspending payment ; and they have also to announce to the creditors , that immediate steps will be taken to bring their affairs to a close . $ k Sheffield Bank , Jan . 14 , 1843 . "

      This calamity will inevitably produor the greatest di-may and embarrassment , not in Sheffield only , but throughout the neighbourhood . The immediate effect will probably be a panic and a run upon the other banks . W ^ th regard to them , we have great satisfaction in being enabled to give an assurance whieh we trust will be much to calm the public mind , Tho Btoppage of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co ., is not produced by any run , or sudden event . I ; is the result , as they state , of the longcontinued depression , which , by rendering business unprofitable , has prevented them from retrieving the losses of former years . Tae other banks , therefore , are not taken by surprise . They have had timely notice , and we are assured , on the highest authority from several quarters , that , they are fully prepared

      for any panic or any run that may ensije . From a well-informed Bource , we have the information that they are ready to pay at once every penny that can be demanded of them . Most serious , therefore , as the effect of the stoppage of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co , must be , we feel satisfied that the other banks will . « tand firm , and are ready to render all the accommodation which they can with propriety to those who may be embarrassed by the stoppage . With regard to the issue of this disastrous event we are also enabled to state that it is confidentially anticipated that the assets of the bank , aided by the property of the partners , will prove more than adequate to the payment of all demands . We believe that the affaire of the bank will be wound up under a fiat in bankruptcy .

      Wo canaot conclude this molancholy announcement without expressing our deep sympathy for Che partners in the bank , and especially for its revered head , Hagh Parker , Esq . Every man in Sheffield will feel that the calamity is infinitely embittered by the reflection , that his latter years should have been darkened by the foreshadowing , and by the consummation of such an event . We trust , however , that he will derive consolation from the universal and heartfelt sympathy that will be elicited . He and

      his partners will enjoy the satisfaction , not only of koowing that they have done all that economy and careful management could do , to avert this disaster , but that the public confidence in their honour and integrity is unshaken , and will receive a new justification from the disclosures mow to be made . We believe it will be proved that the partners have for several years madegreat personal sacrifices to sustain the bank . We bave heard it stated that , for many years past , neither Mr . Parker nor Mr . Shore have drawn anything out of the bank .

      We tm 3 t that the assurance wo are enabled to give , that the other banks are perfectly prepared and safe , and ( he anticipation that ultimately the creditors of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co ., will sustain no loss , will tend to calm the public mind , and savo tho town from the aggravatioaof tne original calamity which unbounded alarm would produce . We have aLo seen the following communication ia lo ' ereuce to this disastrous event : — " Iris Office , Monday , five o ' clock . " A large meeting of the merchants and manuficturera has been held in the Cutlars' Hall , this afternoon ; the Master Cutler in the chair ; at which it was unanimously resolved , 'That in order to prevent an increase of the distress consequent on the failure of the Sheffield Old Bank , the notes of all the other banks now existing in Sheffield shall be taken as usual . ' The paper containing the resolution was very numerously signed . "

      ARRiVAL OF THE BRITANNIA . Tbe British and North American Royal Mail Steamer Britannia . Captain Hewitt , ¦ which sailed from Boston on the afternoon of the I ? t and Halifax on tbe night of tbe 3 d instant , arrived at Liverpool on Sunday night . She encountered dreadful weather during the passage , and felt the full effects of the hurricano on Friday last She has , notwithstanding , made the voyage iu under fourteen daya from port to port . We bave received by the Britannia New York papers to the 31 st ult ., and Boston to tbe 1 st and Halifax to the 3 d inst Their contents are not important Tae New York papers of the latest dates are filled with reports of the proceedings of the court-martial instituted for the trial of the mutineers of the United States brig of waT Somers , which was sitting on board tba North Caroline , at New York . The mutiny was the alJ-cogrossing topic of conversation ; we have given an outline thereof in another column .

      The proceedings in Gomgtess n » ct 8 of the ordinary kind . Tbe subjects before it purely domestic , though allusion had been made to the Oregon territory , on a motion being made for papers concerning it . The Government Beemeil to be blamed for having passed the subject over in tba negotiations between them and Lord Asbbnrton . The general features of the money-market are described as remaining tbe same as at tbe sailing of the previous packet . Money was very plentiful , and but little in demand for busineaR purposes . Specie vms accumulating in tbe banks . A fair extent of business bad been done in exchange foT the Britannia ; prices were not , however , firm . Tee rate on London was 105 ^ to 106 ; on Paris , 5 , 43 to 5 , 45 . The New York American in its money artxie for the Britannia ; thus alludes to the state of affairs at tbe close of tbe year : —

      " Tbe year closes upon us without much , in our commercial and financial situation ; to look back upon ¦ with satisfaction , or look forward with hope . " The same general disease still pervades tbe country—tbe want of a general currency , and the violent contractions of all local banks , which have , in fact , in some portions of tbe United States , brought back the old system of barter , for want of any circulating representative of property . " Congress has been in session nearly a month , and , although a good deal has been done of routine business , nothing has ever been , said as to tbe schemes fot receiving , safely keeping , and disbursing the revenue of the Government , and incidentally of creating some Hort of national currency ; nor do we believe that any one of the various projects broached for these purposes stands tbe least chance of success ., There remain but two months more of the session , and of this biief existence but little , we apprehend , will be conceded to exchequer crudities .

      "The secretary of the Treasury ' s ' report shows , upon estimate , a more favourable prospect for the future than we bad hoped for . He lopks forward to a surplus in June , 1844 . ?* The bankrupt law is still in jeopardy in Congress , though tbe effort to repeal it entirely seems to meet greater obstacles than were anticipated . We incline to tbe opinion that it will not be wholly repealed , though it may be modified by striking out the voluntary clause , and possibly by extending its general provisions to corporations issuing money . "No movement at all , indicating what may be in reserve as to the tariff , has yet been made in either housa

      " The large sums in specie received by tbe Britannia steamer and other conveyance , for the purchase of bills of exchange and cotton , bave not affected the market as to tbe former . Tbe latter was started somewhat by the general impulse given to prices in England by the China and India newa . " The accounts from Kingston seem contradictory as to the state of Sir C . Bagot ' s health . The latest bulletin issued represented his Excellency to be in a ve : y low state . No later accounts bad been received from Mexico or Yucatan . There are recent accounts from Texas , but thsy are unimportant The Cougteoa was iu session .

Archibald M'Donald , their delegate , who along with Mr . Wm . Chilton , Birmingham , represented the citizens of Aberdeen in the Conference lately held at Birmingham . The Hall waa densely crowded , even to overflowing , and the greatest interest seemed to prevail throughout the immense throng , while Mr . M'Donald went orer the principal matters which , had come before the Conference , and which he explained in a clear and masterly manner , very much to the patisfactiou of the meeting , who recorded an unanimous vote of . thanks to him and Mr . Chilton . When Mr . M'Donald had closed his discourse , which occupied above two honra in delivery , Mr . John

      Legge rose , and moved tbe fallowing resolution , which was seconded by Mr . John Fraser , and carried all but unanimously : —*' That this meeting is ot ' opinion that the Complete Suffrage Delegates , iu having withdrawn from ihe Conference , acted contrary to the principles and spirit of democracy ; that they being the parties who called that Conference , the object of" which was to endeavour to unite the middle and working classes for the immediate attainment of universal freedom—but when they , the Complete Suffragists , found themselves unable to carry their own particular plans into operation , withdrew , we , therefore , in public meeting assembled , express our decided abhorrence at such dastardly conduct , being in onr opinion extremely at variance with the common usages of every deliberative assembly .

The motion was unanimouusiy agreed to , it being distinctly understood that whatever surplus of money should at any time be in hand should be paid over to tbe general fund . Messrs .

      factiously interrupting public meetings of the people called for any plan of reform having for its object tha principles contained in the Charter ; they deem it also necessary to warn the working classes against being led away for any plan which does not go to tbe root of their political rights" In proposing this resolution , Mr . Maynard denied tbe charge of impure motives , which he asserted a daily Chartist journal bad attempted to fasten upon them . He was convinced that they , must alter their line of policy according to the alteration of circumstances . Mr . Simpson seconded the resolution , and Mr . Knight supported it . Mr . Andrews moved »

      and Mr . Rose seconded tbe previous question , which waa supported by Messrs . Humphries ,. Christopher , Page ,. Madge , Cook , Overton , Cuffay , Wheeler , and Morris .

      Operation of the tari 7 v on Beef . —Hamburgh , Jan . 10 . —In some recent publications the farmers of Great Britain arc eacouraged to think ( with the object of sheltering Sir Robert Peel fr » m their indignation ) that the fall in the price of cattle is not all owing to the admission of foreign cattle under a duty ; and the small importation of cattle and pigs since the alteration of the tariff eame into force ia adduced as an argument in support of this opinion . The farmers will do well not to calculate without their host . The esportations frora hence , for example , of cattle and pigs , were small during the last few months , beeause the farmers and graziers of Denmark , Holstein , Mecklenburg , and other adjacent provinces , were not . proposed for tbe alteration . Their own interest will now induce them to prepara the means for sending both cattle and pigs to

      England in increasing quantities- every year ; and no one in this vicinity will feel surprised to see this branch of commerce , in the course » f a few years , carried on to an extenl ten times larger than might be supposed , judging merely from receai operations . Mr . Howitt , in his recently published travels through Germany * utters a great deal of nftasense about the absence of meadow land and the miserable condition of cattle , merely because he appears to have been led to a part of Germany where gialing , ia not encouraged . IF he had bent his way to * ihe pravinces and districts above * mentioned , he mi&ht have feasted Ms eyes upon meadows and cattle such as he has perhaps seen in no other part of the world ! It may be as well to add that Mr . Howitt ' s book itself has not yet reached Hamburg , and the foregoing remarks are suggested by the extracts which some of the newspapers bave furnished . —Correspondent of the Morning
