MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. BOYDELL'S TRACTION ENGINE. This engine has been tested in Hyde park during the past week with eminently satisfactory results. It is fitted with the peculiar mechanism over the driving wheel which forms an endless tramway. Though nominally of twelve-horse power, the boilers yield steam for an indicator of more than double their amount, and the engine can with ease draw from sixty to seventy tons along ordinary turnpike roads at the rate of four miles per hour. Attached to the machine one day were five powerful waggons, into which about 160 soldiers mounted, and were taken easily across the level parts of the park at the rate of six miles an hour. For military purposes, such as getting up guns and siege stores, an engine of the kind would prove an invaluable auxiliary. itself into the question who can hold out longest? who can afford to through the collision, and who received by way of solatium a season TOWN AND COUNTRY TALK, Mr C.

NEW RAILROAD ROUTE TO ITALY.-The first section of the railway between Bouveret and Martigny was opened for traffic on the 14th ult. This portion of the line is about twenty-five miles long, and commences at the eastern end of the Lake of Geneva, running up the valley of the Rhone. The heart of Switzerland is thus connected by means of railway and steamer with Paris and London. A further section of the railway will probably be opened in October next, and a third section to Sion in April, 1860. This railway forms the nearest route between Paris and Milan, and the effect of the late peace will probably be very advantageous to it. When complete it will place Geneva in direct railway communication with Milan and the rest of Italy. The gradients are considered good, the steepest being 1 in 100.

At the very period when this and when I got home I found that Dr Julius had provided a strange in such a case.

The son of the prisoner and the deceased was the first witness. He and several witnesses who followed him gave evidence to the effect, that the husband and wife frequently quarrelled, and that Rutter often beat and illused his wife. J. Hancock then said,-I am a labourer and live about 100 yards from the deceased, whom I knew, he had been married to the prisoner about seven years. On Sunday morning prisoner came to my house about half-past one. I had not gone to bed. My son George and my wife were there. Prisoner said, "Charlotte, come up to our house. Tom will bleed himself to death." She held out her left hand, and said, "See how he has served me.' She went away again immediately. I noticed she had blood on her left arm. My wife lighted a candle, and I and my son went to 16 Rutter's house. The door was open. When we got in, prisoner said, "Come up stairs." I went up. There was a quantity of blood on the floor and on the bed. Deceased was lying on the bed on his left side. The body was covered with the clothes up to the breast. I sat down by the body. His hands were stretched down straight by his side, outside the clothes. There was no blood on his hands. I said to prisoner, "Ellen, however in the world did this come about ?" She said, "I did it to him." A surgeon was sent for. I saw a razor partly hid under the pillow, about seven or eight inches from the head. Cross-examined-Prisoner asked my wife to bring in a candle; he had no light. She spoke very quietly, when she said, "It was I done it, John." The man was alive when we got there; his eyes were a little open. I have lived near deceased about twelve months. There was a good deal of quarrelling. Hancock's son and wife and two other witnesses confirmed this statement. Mr Leonard, a surgeon at Dursley, who was called in, described the nature of the wound which caused the death of the deceased. It commenced about an inch from the spine of the back, and went round to the left side of the chin. The deceased's right arm was down by his side exposed-the left was under the blanket. Witness did not think it possible deceased could have inflicted the wound himself. It was contended in the defence, that the woman's provocation had been very great, and the judge in summing up said it was clear from the evidence that the husband brutally ill-used the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of " Guilty," but recommended the prisoner to mercy, on account of the previous ill-treatment she had received. Mr Justice Byles said he would send the recommendation to the proper quarter, and sentence of death was then passed in the usual manner. The prisoner received the sentence without flinching, during its delivery gazed fixedly in the face of the judge, and on its conclusion left the dock without any assistance. ACCIDENTS AND OCCURRENCES. SHOCKING DEATH ON SNOWDON.-Mr George Frodsham, managing clerk in one of the largest mercantile firms in Liverpool, met his death this week under circumstances of a most painful nature. The deceased commenced the ascent of Snowdon about midnight on Sunday, in order to arrive at the summit of the mountain in time to see the sun rise. He had a guide with him, but this person he dismissed before he reached the top. Nothing more was seen of him until Tuesday morning, when his body, fearfully mutilated, was discovered lying on the base of a precipice, and from some marks on the ground there is no doubt that he had fallen from a height of upwards of 600 feet. ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO MURDER A WIFE." The moral lesson of the gallows," at Durham, on Thursday week, does not seem to have had a deterring effect in the neighbourhood where Wilthew murdered his wife, for another cruel murder very nearly occurred at North Shields on Sunday afternoon. A steamboat man, named Whitfield, has a drunken wife, and on going home between twelve and one at noon, and finding her drunk, he pulled out a large Spanish knife, and attempted to destroy her by sticking her in the neck with it. He inflicted a severe wound, but was prevented completing his murderous intention. The wound in the woman's neck bled profusely, but the medical men think that it will not prove fatal. The man has been locked up, but he only expresses a regret that he did not murder her outright.

Metropolitan Cattle Market, MONDAY.-The arrival of cattle and sheep into the port of London from the Continent during the past week has been very considerable. The official Custom-house report gives an entry of 1,889 oxen, 906 calves, 10,017 sheep, 732 pigs, and 4 horses, together making a total of 13,548 head, against 9,166 at the corresponding period of last year, and 7,958 in 1857. The state of trade to-day was barely so cheerful as of late, although last week's prices were generally maintained, and in a few instances the best small beasts made more money. The supply of beef was again very large, the number of beasts on offer being 4.750, for which prices ranging from 3s. 4d. to 44, 10d. were realized. Mutton sold steadily at last week's prices, but the supply was large, being upwards of 29.000 sheep and lambs. The trade for the latter was very bad, the demand being limited, and prices were lower for the best quality. Veal was a shade higher in price, but pork remained unaltered. THURSDAY.-The state of trade to-day was about the same as on Monday last. A fair amount of business was transacted in all kinds of meat at very steady prices, but the choicer quality of veal did not support the advance noticed at the commencement of the week.

We have again to report a good arrival of Foreign Wheat and large of Oats, principally Russian, but small of Barley.-Of British Grain the show of samples was small, and at the ports of call very few cargoes are on sale. Wheat -The English supply consisted of about two-thirds new, which was mostly of Inferior quality and condition; the best new white and red Wheat made 488. and 468. respectively, while lower qualities were sold at several shillings le s money; old English and Foreign made fully last Monday's quotations, and for the latter there was a better demand than on Friday at 1s, advance, bringing us up to about Wednesday's improvement. Barley-Found more favour at 6d. advance on Black Sea and on Danish. The new English was not good enough for our Maltsters. Oats-were also in good request, and recovered Friday's decline; and we incline to the opinion that this article has touched the lowest point for this season, notwithstanding the good crop in this country; for we have no stock, and there is not the large quantity of Foreign grinding Barley to compete with like last year. Flour-Fresh Norfolks being scarce brought 31s. freely, and fine French made 35s. while there was more inquiry for stale at from 29s to 328. FRIDAY.-The weather on the spot being fine, and London buyers having lately supplied themselves pretty freely, our Wheat trade on Wednesday and today has been confined to a few necessitous sales, ex ship, at about last Monday's prices; nevertheless there was a kind of under-current among a certain number of large buyers to get hold of really fine qualities, if they could have succeeded at a slight reduction, as the accounts of our own crops do not at all improve, and French and Baltic supplies are now falling off, and will continue to do so, unless Barley commanded more attention at their relative values to ours change. rather more money, and many cargoes arrived off the coast from Black Sea, &c., have been taken at from 20s. 6d. to 22s. 6d. per 400 lb. c. f. and i. Oats were 3d. to 6d. cheaper for Russians, in consequence of many vessels now coming on demurrage, but heavy Danes and Swedes were not lower in price. Up to the 13th inst. we have received about 272,508 qrs. from Russian ports, against 438,757 qrs in previous year. Flour was a very slow sale, Norfolks being sold at 30s. to 30s. 6d. and French at about last quotations. N.B.-We have to note a very active demand the last few days for Maize, and the immense arrivals of cargoes at ports of call is thereby not accumulating, and prices having declined is. 6d. to 28. per qr. have to-day risen 6d. per qr.

English and Scotch 100 Ditto Life Irish Foreign FEARFUL ACCIDENT TO AN AERONAUT.-On Monday evening Mr Hall ascended in a balloon from the Cricket ground, Newcastle-onTyne, in the presence of a large concourse of spectators. The ascent took place at ten minutes to seven, and a quarter past that hour the balloon was seen to descend rapidly in the neighbourhood of Boldon, about seven miles from Newcastle, and fell in a clover field. The grappling-irons, however, did not keep hold of the ground, and, some of the ballast having upset, the balloon suddenly rose again, and, Mr Hall being about to alight from the car at the time the balloon rose, his feet were caught in the ropes, and he was whirled suddenly into the air. For a moment he hung with his head downwards, when the rope got disentangled, and he fell a distance, it is computed, of 120 feet. A farmer and his son who were in a field close by came to his assistance, and he was found to be sensible, but he soon after became An Account, pursuant to the Act 7th and 8th Victoria, cap. 32, for the week unconscious. He was removed to Scots house, the residence of Mr H. L. Pattison, where he was immediately attended by a surgeon. After Mr Hall was thrown out the balloon ascended a great height, Notes issued and was last seen drifting out to the German Ocean. A little dog belonging to the aeronaut was taken up in the car. Subsequent accounts state that Mr Hall's spine is seriously injured, and there are but remote hopes of his recovery. From the nature of the injuries, he appears to have fallen head foremost to the ground from the balloon, his head and left shoulder coming first in contact with the earth, the body and lower extremities being bent over so as to break the back. The balloon is reported to be picked up off Whitby. DEATH AT A DINNER PARTY.-An inquest was held on Tuesday, touching the death of Mrs Perfect, aged fifty-seven, at her late residence, No 24 Porchester terrace, Bayswater. The deceased was the wife of Mr R. Perfect, formerly a member of Parliament. On Saturday last she attended a dinner party given by General Sir A. Maclaine, at 68 Great Cumberland place, Hyde Park, and shortly after she had taken her seat at the dinner table she appeared to be attacked with a fainting fit, and her head dropped on the shoulder of the next lady. She was removed to a sofa, where she instantly expired. Surprise and consternation seized all present, and the body of the deceased lady was conveyed in her own carriage to her residence as above, where a post mortem examination was performed. The medical man having deposed that death was caused from a diseased heart, a verdict to that effect was returned. THE FUNDS. MONDAY.-Consols opened at 954 to 1, and closed at 95 to .
