A shocking circumstance occurred In the neighbourhood 'of Wolverhampton, on Wednesday se'nnight. Mr. Webb, of Moseley. was married, on the preceding Sunday, to an amiable young lady, of that place ; and only a tew hours after, he asto nished the family with symptoms of insanity. In this sad state, he on Wednesday destroyed several sheep, and obtained a pair of loaded pistols, with which he alarmed the neighbourhood by threatening to tire upon many persons. lie next got po,se•sion of a razor, and first cut hiswife's throat, and then his oan almost every person who attempted to secure ltiw was wouaded.

The races, it was apprehended, would produce some disturbances; bu►, am happy to say, nothing of the kind has occurred duritig the first two days.—The assemblage of people upon 14ersal Moor this day was immense, hut the utsno-t harmony prevailed.— Upwards of thirty persons were taken into custody on Mon day last, at a public-house in Ancuat's lane, some of whom arc said to be the Delegates of the weavers; and vine others were that day brought hither in a manufacturer's caravan, gwarded by dragoons, from Bury. Several of these pt rsons have since been discharged; and I believe only 12 now remain in custody. In many parts of the country, particularly at Bur) and Bal ton, acts of extreme violence have been comtnitted ou respect able manufacturers, some of whom were threatened with death in the event of their refusal to sign papers for an advance of wages. Every little occurrence, however, is so much exagge rated by the bu,y tongue of rumour, that I am disinclined to state many things li hear, lest they should prove unfounded. The great body of the weavers, as I said before, are perfect!) satisfied with the offers made them, and hundreds have in con sequence resumed their employment. In the course of the last three days, three different regiments have arrived here, viz. the sth Dragoon Guards, the 89th Foot (late Gen. %Vhitelocke's), and the 35th Foot. Perhaps there is one of the gre••est curiosities in a yew-tree, at Grasford, in North Wales, eight miles from the city of West Gloater, that ever was recorded in the annals of history. In this church-yard they are 19 yew-trees; one of which has beer an evergreen in that baptised sacred ground upwards of 400 bears (as handed down by ancient father to son of its age ;) the circumference of which was taken by a curious traveller in na tive antiquity, on Wednesday, May 11, 180 S, and is of the followieg dimensions :—one foot from the gro u nd, its circumfer ence is seven yards eighteen inches ; and five feet from the ground, it is the enormous size of nine yards nine inches. Two of its arms are gone dead, and two more are following very ra pidly; yet there still remains a Nand body and seven great arms, that is supposed will pilot old age through another long century, before it pays its debt to nature, and drops into and am•►ngst the ancient dead it has so tong shaded.
