NATIONAL 'THANKSGIVING.— PIMUIIPTrOUS OF FICIAL LANoVaoe.—Sir,—ln yesterday's Ezra. it was intimated from the Observer that there is to be a national thanksgiving—whether there is to be (I hope there is) a national holiday is not stated. Should a proclamation be needed, I hope care , n ill be taken not to use language which wounds the prineples of large classes of the community. In the proclamation for the general fast we were enjoined to obey " under-pain o. the displeasure of Ahniphty Ood, and of the pain and penalties which may be justly indicted," &c. Now, a large portion of the people think that no earthly sovereign has any right to invoke the wrath of God, or to inflict punishments for the neglect of such observances; and probably no one of her Majesty's ministers would in the ab street defend the former part of the proclamation, or act upon the latter. Why, then, so needlessly offend people for the sake of an obsolete formula ?—A DISARNTER. CHARGES IN TUE COUNTY COURTS.—Sir.—I am s poor man, being • carpenter in • small way of business : a party owed me 6/. 175., and I applied to the Westminster county court for a summons, and, to my surprise, was charged lle. Sd.; but I felt comparatively contented, sup. posing that was all I should have to pay • to my greater sur prise, however, on the day of hearing I had to pay Lis. 10d. more—in all up to the hearing, 11. 61. 6d. Ido not wish to impute improper conduct to anybody, but I do wish to know how the charges are made up, for on looking at the table of fees stuck up in the office I cannot make them amount to above half the amount I paid. If yon would kindly insert this in your valuable paper, perhaps some one may be able and willing to explain the items to me. At all events, the New County Courts Act is not a poor man's friend. I have applied to an attorney to explain to me hew the fees amounted to so much, and he stated that neither he nor anybody else cruld understand how the clerks of county courts made them what they do, if guided by the table publio'hed.—l am, &c., JAMES Emmen', Serle'eplate, Lincoln's-inn, Sept. 8, 1847. STEAM INTERCOURSE WITH AUSTRALIA. Sir George Larpent, as chairman of the committee for ex tending steam eimmunieation between Australia, India, and England, has revived information from Sydney, by the last mail, that the legislative council of New South Wales has voted 5501. per month out of the colonial revenues towards tarrying out this great object, thus incontestably proving the anxiety of the southern colonies on the subject, which is not surprising, **they are the only portion of the empire ex cluded from the benefits of steam intercourse with England. A BRIEF REPORT.—We, the Commissioners ap pointed to report on Legal Education in England, to report accordingly . " There is no legal education in Eng lund. (Signed Tan ComxissioNins."—l'uncli. FALL OP INTO HOUSES.—At about 6 o'clock last evening two houses fell in Dudley-court, Crown-street, Soho, fortunately without loss of life, though a little girl was entirely buried iu the ruins. The whole of the north side of the court had, it seems, been condemned, and the owner of the property had warned the inmates of their danger, and given them notice to quit, but the inhabitants of three houses only coulekbe prevailed upon to leave, and the demolition of these three houses had just been commenced when the houses in question fell. INFORMATION FOR PRISONERS. 8111,—A most irregular practice is growing up, of arrestirg for interest, and mot only for interest on all sorts of debts, but also on the costa, under the assumed power of the Ist & 2nd V ict., e. 110, sec. 17, which sec ion is as fol lows : " And be it enacted that every judgment debt shall airy interest at the rite of 41. per cent. per annum from the time of entering up the judgment, or from the time of the commencement of this act, in cases of judgments then entered up and not carrying interest, until the same shall be satisfied ; and such interest may be levied under a writ of execution on such judgment." As all this can be done without taking a man's body, and as personal liberty is not to be abridged without express words, or the unavoidable consequence of an act of parlia ment, these words of the act do netwarrant the issuing writs of capiu far interest. To " levy" never meant to take a man yet (except for the Queen); or at any rate, in its largest construction, must extend only to his pecuniary and and not his bodily substance ; for, though it may be settled that • mill in a deed will carry with it mill-atones, still we know well that • pound of flesh in • bond will not pass one drop of blood. Ist, monstrous as it is, some of the writs sow issued run thus: " Take A. 8., if he shall be found in your bailiwick, and him safely keep, so that you may have his body before us at Westminster, immediately after the execution hereof, to satisfy C. D., as well • oertam debt of 221. 2s. 22., which the said C. D. lately in our court before us at Westminster recovered against the said A. B. ; u also 771. 7s. 7d., which in our same court were awarded to the said C. D. for his da mages, which he had sustained as well by reason of detaining the said debt as for his costs and charges by him about his snit, in that bk half expended, whereof the said A. B. is con victed, as appears to us of record, together with interest upon the sum of 991. 9s. 9d., at the rate of 4 per cent. per ann., from the let day of Sept., A.D. 1846, on which day the judgment aforesaid was entered up." These writs are usually endorsed with the word " levy ;" but that does not mend the wait. Writs of ca. sa. were endorsed " levy " long before the act passed, and though of itself an irregularity, the practice being in favour of liberty, it became legal for sheriffs to take the money in place of the person ; but the filling up the writ as • ea. s, for interest on costs being a reverse practice, the frequency of the abuse does not make it law. The above section is part of • branch of the act which ap plies exclusively to remedies against property. This branch consists of the 13 sections from the 11th to the 23rd, inclu sive, and begins with the following preamble :—" And whereas the existing law is defective in not providing ade quate means for enabling judgment creditors to obtain satis faction from the 'property of their debtors, and it is exile. (tient to give judgment creditors more effectual remedies against the real and personal estate of their debtors than they ciarunder the existing law." Therefore , there can be no raisedas to the intention. The act also clearly in tended a gentle inducement to refrain from arrests, by giving this new power to levy for interest on the foil amount of the judgment; but the flagrant abuse I point out comes and tarns this inducement to • further encroachment on liberty. Such abuses, sir, are none the lees abuses because they creep on undetected, and become by dint of time inveterate practice too obstinate to be corrected without the trouble of an action to ascertain the law; and they unseal their own existence by those circumstances of distress, etsfunes, and ignorance, which they create. In this way die frellignialiem which reaches prisoners generally is so imperfect, that awn ban of persons taken in execution for the damages and cods in ejectment have remained and some still remain in custody many years after the expiration of the one year, which is the period limited in such cases by the act of 48th Geo. 111., C. 123 ; and vesting orders are now obtained and adhered to against such prisoners, although they are of no force what ever after the party is discharged under this act. I should proceed to some information for Chancery pri soners, which is much required, as to the effect of the general orders of Bth May, 184.5, in varying Sugden's art, and which, though they do not vary it to the prejudice of prisoners, are greatly abused in this respect ; but I fear I have already made this too long, and only beg to add, that if you do me the honour to insert it I will communicate further on this subject in a future letter for your most enterprising and valuable paper, remaining, W. COBBETT. Queen's Prison, Bth Sept., 1847. PEOPLE WHO CAN BE EDUCATED AND NEED EDUCATION. —-- In the report of the Rev. Henry Moseley to the Committee of Education, on the elementary schools of the Midland District, particular attention is drawn to the people of Balton, in the raising district of South Staffordshire. Their earnings . are probably greater than those of any equally large body of workmen in the kingdom. At the time Mr. Moseley visited them the average wages of pad dlers was 21. 10s. a week ; some men earned 31., and some as much as 61. er 71. a week. The ironmasters were offering 7s, and Is. a week to boys betwcenl2and 14 yeanof age, and youth.; from 14 to 18 could ears 3s . 6d. a day. Yet withal the abodes of these people were squalid in the extreme, their children were worse clad and more neglected—the whole population more slatternly and poverty.stricken, to appearance, than in t c sa y e Mr. Moseley bad visited. But to understand the aright, the reader mum me them as painted by an bourhood. ent, benevolent, and both. gentleman in the neigh- tlrir keno and the mmiequemee of their having such litlMMe w tine described by him : noble= Mad the van ors alably 'pot la the public-houser ; Wila L. tb vanas. !raft so melba d gmade duty or do om& end" Wthyle vale/ taut aid hoopment, mate the W hew roe mudermlie for the Inas ,• amequatee la, that all btlaa rd Mholoaffaanae tidead denai The Mr Is isms dnrelied whir= d MO; an Idiom an Wilma ileg pment sal amet mmemame—ellee Maw le My mufti boo afl4dades,aadeareplibin Is abaft lad arrimbet.

If • correct view of the identity of Interest road be effected, a great change for good would be the result. From these extracta it is obvious that with the social de gradation of these people poverty has nothing to dn. The cause appears in this remark of Mr. Moseley—" Notwith standing tha comparative opulence of the parents, in no schools that I have visited has it been found necessary to fix the fees of admission lower; nowhere are they worse paid, nor anywhere is the school more regularly attended." To speak of waiting is such a district for the effect of a voluntary system of education is a mockery—a callous, heartless mockery. The state must see to the people being educated—that is, not the state as men hke Mr. Baines, with • wilful misapprehension seek to explain the word as meaning a lxviinueracy ; but the real state—the organised nation—the government, the legislature, and the people, who elect the most powerful seetion of the latter and, through it, nominate the members of the government. And these Bilston savages (for they are little batter, though living in a civilised country), are capable of being taught; as witness what is told of them by the same gentleman who has graphically described them. If his words of warning, ad dressedto full-grown and hardened men in their angry mood, had so much effect, what might not intelligent teachers make of their bop?

IRELAND. DUBLIN, SEPT. 7. Lord Auckland has startled the good people of " the beautiful city," by suddenly appearing amongst them. His lordship arrived at Cove yesterday mora -1 • ing at 6 s.m., in her Majesty's steamer Fire Queen. The First Lord of the Admiralty was accompanied by Col. Lord John Hay, and Capt. Eden, R.N. He immediately L ens to business, a circumstance which the Cor looked upon as a sign that " he is in earnest" visit is official, and has reference to some intended improvements in the port and har bour at Cove. Having inspectedtheworkbin progress, both on Spike and Rocky islands, the distinguished visitors passed round Haulbowline to Cove ; thence they proceeded to Cork city at half-peat one p.m., when they were waited upon by the mayor, by whom Lord Auckland and his companions were conducted through the public buildings. Amongst other places visited was the Savings Bank, where a petition was presented to his lordship by Mr. Dowden, praying fora remission et the punishment ofdeath in the case of John Connor, essman, a native of Cork, under sen tense fee *Wag his superior officer on board the Victory. Lord Auckland, who already knew all the facts of the case, graciously promised that be would recommend that the sentence should b. ernanintod to two years' imprisonment. In the aftsesoon his lord ship was to have been waited on by the harbour board. The sanitary condition of Dublin has received con siderable attention from the authorities since the well-timed exposure of Dr. Careen. The sanitary committee of the South Dublin union have made an effort to retrieve their public characters, and requested from the central board of health to appoint medical inspectors to look after the sick at their own homes— in fact, to establish a system of in-door medical relief, against which the board has been contending since its institution. The secretary of the board replied, and refused the required inspection for the following reasons : let. That such inspection would at present be attended with no advantage, inasmuch as the voluntary applications of the poor for admission at the temporary fever hospitals exceed the amount of accommodation provided. 2nd. That the board cannot understand the vague necessity of the sanitary committee " grap pling with the premonitory stages of fever;" that no reliance could be placed on medical treatment directed to such an object, and cannot recommend the continued treatment of fever patients in their own I houses, which, by inducing them to remain in their ill-ventilated and crowded abodes, would increase the danger of infection, and favour the spread of disease. While objecting to the demands of the committee the board admits the necessity of a vigilant inspection for the purpose of distributing tickets of admission, and facilitating removals to the hospitals when there is such a number of vacant beds as will ensure the admission of each applicant. No discussion followed the reading of the reply, but a resolution passed una nimously, that the Board of Health provide accommo dation for 200 additional fever patients at Kilmain ham Hospital. There is to be a meeting of the repeal members on Friday next, to arrange the preliminaries for the more general assemblage, which, it is supposed, will take place in October. The time is unreasonably short, and, except the members of parliament resi dent in Dublin, or within railway reach, very few will attend the brief summons. The Ennis paper come to hand to day states that Clare is about to take part in the " pronouncement " Lord Mountcashel has had the honour of originating against payment, under present circumstances, of the advances made to relief committees this year. It is stated that a requisition is in course of signature by the gentry, calling on government to remit the collec tion for the. present, and that several noblemen, hay inlr property in Clare, have already signed, together with a large portion of the gentry. Now, I find in another paper, that the Marquis of Waterford has taken a very different course from the Clare noble men, end one which I think they would do well to imitate. He has, at a meeting of rate-payers of an electoral division in which he has property, publicly stated that he is ready to pay all the rate, both for present purposes and repayment, for his tenantry, the latter to pay him when the rent day comes. Would that Lord Mountcashel did likewise. Mcaoea.—EvtusrrcaoraGlßL AGAINST HRH MOTHER. —At the Sligo Assizes Matthew Clara, Eleanor Shacket, Bridget Burke, and James Shacket, were arraigned for the wilful murder of Michael Burke on the 2nd of November last, at Clogher. Ann Giblin, a girl about 13 years of age, ! and daughter of the prisoner Burke, was the first and chief witness. She was much affected, and cried, " Wirra, wine! let me to my mother !" She had to be held to the table. She deposed: Knows who were in the house the night Michael Burke met with his death. Her mother was there ; James Shacket, and Eleanor Shacket, and Matthew Clara were there ; her sister, Mary Giblin, and her brothers, Thomas, Dominick, and Pat Giblin. They were all younger than her. There was no one in the room when they ate their supper but her mother, Burke, the children, and herself. Nelly and Jemmy Shacket came into the house alter supper. Witness went for a teacup to Dennis Cryan's to drink whiskey out of. Nelly Shacket brought a bottle of whiskey with her into the house. She brought the teacup into the house, and Nelly filled it with whiskey. She gave it to Burke. Jenny Shacket, Nelly Shacket, and Burke were drinking, and her mother was drunk. She came home from the fair of Ballaghadreen, where she had been that day. Burke was drinking until he was drunk. When he was drunk they put him to bed. Witness held the candle. She saw Burke laid on the bed. Her mother was at the room door when they came down. They all then knelt down and said their prayers (sensation). The Shackets told her mother not to do so. They prayed to Gad to help them to do it. They then went to the garden. Shacket went out first and her mother after him. When they put Barks to bed they went out ant brought in Gans. Her mother was with them. When they brought tiara in, her mother gene him whiskey. The scene here was dreadfully affecting, the child crying, " Oh, wins, wins, mother, will you speak to me?

She saw Gan take the , hatchet, and he struck the deceased with it. Her mother was 'at the time at the door. She was sick and fainting. The pri sonen all came down together. Ellen Shacket took a rope off one of the cows. They went out of the house, and theasw Ellen Shacket tie one of her mother'. hands. She asked her if she'd like to get a lump on her face with the tongs ? Tony then sent witness up to the mountain to alarm, and lay there were robbers in the house. They told her not to mil at Dennis Cryan's till her return. Dennis Cryan's is the house next to hers.—Baron Richards summed up the evi -1 dente, and the jury, after an hour's deliberation, found a I verdict of Guilty.—Baron Richards, immediately after the announcement of the verdict, sentenced the prisoners to be executed on the 21st of September.—Budget Burke was recommended to mercy, as she was drunk. The pri soner who betrayed moat emotion was Ellen Shacket—she had an infant in her arms during her trial, about three months old, of which she was delivered since her committal. She became deadly pale on the announcement of the verdict. There was • slight quiver discernible in the upper lip of her husband; but the widow of the deceased was quite un moved. None of the prisoners made any statement when asked why sentence of death should not be passed on them. SCOTLAND. EDIXBIIILON, Seer. 7. Yesterday afternoon a rumour prevailed in Glasgow of the failure of an extensive corn firm. The Cow icr reckons the joint liabilities of it, and the house of Gemmell, Brothers, and Co., which suspended pay ment a day or two before, as amounting to between 400,000/. and 500,0001. A meeting of the central board for Highland Desti tution was held in Glasgow yesterday. After con siderable discussion, it was carried by a majority of 20 to 5 to memorialise government for a parlia mentary inquiry into the state of the Highlands. The objections urged against the motion principally were, let. That inquiry would be displeasing to pro prietors ; 2. That it would not be likely to meet with the approval of the board of supervision ; and 3. That as Sir Edward Coffin is presently engaged in inves tigating the condition of the Celtic population, his researches would in the estimation of government supersede the necessity of any more extended inquiry. But none of these considerations possess substantial force, and, it is probable that a public commission will be appointed. In the meantime some skirmishing is going on between the " commissioner " of the North British Mail and the agents of Lord Abinger, which will whet the public appetite for searching investiga tion. The Mail is a keen advocate for home colonisa tion, and its correspondent asserts that if Torlondy Moss, now kept desolate as a game preserve, had been properly looked after, the poor crofters who live on its barren surface would nut have been objects of public sympathy. The simple chemical experiment of " setting the heather on fire" would improve its fertility ; but as this would scare the game, its biped inhabitants must fast oftener than the calendar pre- Deribes. But to return to the central board : The Clown ration has In hand. £39,254 111 The Edinburgh section has in hand 75,544 la 0 £114,1100 le it and a committee was appointed to collider and report as to the beet method of disposing of the remanent funds. Afterwards a demand wee made for funds to construct a harbour at Carsaig, and the board very properly agreed to give 2421. 6s. 3d. in behalf of this object, provided the proprietors advanced a corre sponding sum. While on the subject of destitution, s suggestion by a Glasgow rate-payer is worthy attention, as being of something more than mere local interest. This gentle man states that since 50,0001. was fixed as the Ohm gow assessment for the poor, the price of provisions hu so fallen that 35,0001. will now go as far ea the above-named sum. - - The following letter affords a gratifying proof of the surveillance ear2cised over emigration from the Cl de: nrir.rstice Mess, Qostee, July 21,1347.-81r,--1 em iestnietiet to Worm you of the mint of the Wowing needs Jaw THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, sEroIF,MBER 9, 1847. lith, Pennine MI elt Led astsairs*Vl or Wk.

CHIME IN GLABOOW.-04 this subject the last prison re port says : " The facilities for the commission of crime appear to be much greater in Glasgow than in London, Dublin, or Liverpool. In the latter cities nearly the whole of the houses and warehouses are self-contained ; there are no common entries, no common stairs, and few, if soy, sunk areas; while in Glasgow, the houses, with very few exceptions, are divided into floors or smaller compartments, occupied by different tenants. There is to almost every tenement a com mon close or entrance, and a common stair : to many of the tenements there are sunk areas, and to nearly all there are back unprotected premises, tenanted, or with right of access, by different individuals."

DINNER TO COMICODORE Da KAY AND THE OFFICERS OF THE MACEDONIAN.—On Monday the Central Board of the Highland Relief Fund gave a dinner to those gentlemen at the Tontine Inn. The Lord Provost in the chair. After dinner, the Chairman proposed, in sucxesion, the health* of her Majesty, the President of the United States, and the Prince Consort, which wore duly honoured. The Chairman having proposed the health of Commodore de Kay, the Com modore said be thankei them for that dcmocstration of kindness towards him, for the exhibition of that proof, as he might call it, of the sympathy which ought to exist always between the two countries, and which certainly existed at the present moment, for they were all labourers in the same vineyard, and that vineyard was one into which no man need be ashamed to come. They all met together in this dreadful calamity to do their best to relieve suffering fellow creatures. They had beard the cry of distress from every quarter, and their attention was more awakened to it than the attention of the people of this country could be ; it was not a solitary voice, it was not the voice of a thousand, bat it was the voice of millions which came to them. There were many in America who had struggled sad striven to do more than he had done in this way in that good, that glorious cause. It was not only Scotehmen and the de scendants of flootchmen , nor Irishmen and the descendants of Irishmen, but the descendants of people of all countries who vied with each other in their endeavours to send forward help to this country. There were several men, well-established merchants in New York, who did more than could be well imagined or conceived by persons so fat distant. It would be, perhaps, improper in him to name them, as they had requested not to be named, although he could hardly go home without doing so ; suffice it to gay, that the exertions made by those gentlemen, and the enthusiasm kin dled up by them, resulted as they had seen in sending the ships of war. Those ships of war, he trusted, would do more good than the simple cargoes with which they were loaded could be expected to do; he bad no doubt they would do much to cement the union between the people of the two countries. He must swain return thanks to them for the kindness they had shown him, and be would not do so by inflicting a long speech on them, far that would be returning evil for good—and he would therefore ask leave to conclude by giving, as a sentiment, what he hoped would be drunk with all due honour, " The Central Board for the Relief of the Highlands."—Sir James Campbell proposed the health of the benevolent citizens who had contributed so largely to the relief fund.—Mr. Babcock briefly responded to the toast; and after some further toasts, the company separated at about 11 o'clock. WALES. WELSH GRAMMAR SCHOOL.—About a fortnig ht ago we had the pleasure of announcing the intention o T. Phillips, Esq. (through whose munificence St. David's Col lege, Lampeter, has been so enriched in scholarships, and =Ca good library), to found a grammar school at rary, with a foundation for 20 free scholars. Since then, Mr. Phillips has vested between 4,0001. and 6,0001. in the public funds towards the support of the school, and the deed of trust has been signed by himself and five trustees, under whose control the management of the institution is plated. On Monday se'nnight, when the deed was taken to Llandovery, to have the signatures of the trustees, who reside at that place, merry peals of bells welcomed its arri val. The 20 free scholars are to be nominated by the trus tees, and are to be fully instructed in Welsh, English, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, besides arithmetic and mathematics. The master must be a clergyman of the church of England, in full orders, well acquainted with the Welsh language. PROVINCIAL. ----- THE NEW BIaHOPRIC.—The Manchester Guardian of yesterday, in reference to the recent notice in the Gazette constituting the new see, says :—One little obscurity there is in the terms of the order in council, which leaves it some what in doubt whether the whole edifice (the collegiate church) becomes the cathedral of the see of Manchester. Pepsin over the ancient churches of St. Michael in Aldport, and St. Mary in Acres-field—the former said to have been erected in 627, the latter in 632 —we may state, that of the present edifice, the west end, or nave, &c., is parochial, and the east end, or choir, &c., collegiate. Thomu Men, Lord de la Wan, being lord of the manor and rector of linniamaror, obtained a license from Henry V. ' for the of the rectory, and to found and endow a Miura at his manor of Mancheser.' He laid the Meese of the edifice in July, 1422. and expended in Its artmdem which, as it is estimated that money has isiousei Mean fold in value since that period, is equivalent to • sem el 46,0001. at the present day. The former pvuh elm* of It. Mary being on the site, the new pariah chart& wee deMenied by Lord de Is Wan to the blessed Virgin Mary, to 114. (for England) and to St. Denys (for Frame., whoosi gese C de la Warn came) ; while the collegiate part of She Wilke was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin ; but the feendadoa of the collegiate church was dissolved by Queen ilabakt" in 1578, and a new charter of foundation granted, la which its title is changed to " Christ's College." At present, then, the west end of the church, where divine worship is celebrated, as far am the screen separating it from the choir, is purely parochial, and not collegiate, and is in fact the parish church of St. Mary's; while the east end of the edifice, including the choir and various chapels, ia purely collegiate and not parochial, and is styled "The College of Christ." It is not clear, therefore, whether the order in council erects this latter portion only into a cathedral church. Most probably it was meant to include the whole edifice ; bat in that case, the terms of the order should have been " the collegiate and parish church of Manchester." We do not anticipate any material change in any portion of the building, in consequence of its becom ing a cathedral. The ecclesiastical commissioners, in one of their earlier reports, intimated that the constitution of the collegiate foundation was so nearly what they wished, in reference to cathedral churches generally, that little was needed beyond the change of title (which was made some years since) from " warden and fellows " to " dean and canons." We believe it will be necarary for the Bishop of Manchester to have a stall in the choir ; and it la usual in cathedral churches to place the bishop's stall at the end of the other stalls, nearest " the altar" or communion rails. We believe that, in this ease, the bishop's stall will probably be in that position on the south side of the choir. It is not unusual to place the stall for the arch deacon opposite that of the bishop ; in which case the seat of the Ven. Archdeacon Ruhtoa will be at the end of the stalls on the north side the choir, nearest the communion table. With respect te the first bishop of Manchester nothing is yet known. Various clergymen have been named as likely to be appointed ; amongst others, Archdeacon Mus grave, and several others, whose names we need not repeat, as we believe they are 'without any sufficient foundation. One thing is certain, that the bishopric was offered to Dr. Waddington, an of Durham, and declined by him. From all that we hear, it is most likely that the party selected for the newly-created dignity will be the Hon. and Rev. Henry Montagu Villiers, M.A., Rector of St. George's, Bloomsbury, London, and a prebendary of St. Paul's. He was named six months me, and of late there appears to be some reason for believing that he is to be the new biahop. He married, in January, 1837, Miss Holton, the eldest daughter of William Halton, Esq., of Hilton-perk. He was then rector of Kenilworth; but in 1841 he was appoint ed to the rectory of Bt. George's, Bloomsbury, on Dr. the former rector, being elevated to the as. of &dor and an. As yet, we believe, her ma jetty's corsge•d'elire has not been sent to the (now) cathedral chapter of Manchester, bat we may expect it in a very short time. Meanwhile, we are in the anomalous position of an episcopal Ns that never had a bishop. Since Wednesday last the Bishop of Chaster has ceased to be our diocesan ; and there being no Bishop of Manchester appointed, any matter arising in the new diocese which may demand episcopal re cognition, we suppers, moat go to the Archbishop of York, in whose province the see of Manchester I. ecclesiastically situate. THE EXTENSIVE TRACT OF WILD HEATH, known by the name of Tarleton Moss, is gradually being brought into a state of cultivation, and now exhibits a surface studded with rural dwellings surrounded by heavyZaops of corn and potatoes. In a very few years the heath and grouse will have entirely dirppeand, and the land will be contributing its quota of food towards human rapport. - . - - ArIiitACTION or JENNY LIMD.—A yoamir man named Roberta was on Tuesday charged at the poliinsesea, Manchester, with haring borrowed and paliali tea handhererietn, the property of Jenny Lind, in Mew ' to raise funds wherewith to enable him to visit the *Wit en Satardsy night, the last time on which the renowned songereses was to appear. It appeared that Mademoiselle Lind's linen had been sent from the Albion Hotel to be washed by a Mrs. Pearson, the motherin-law of the prisoner. The yo man, who is a striker in the service of the Manchester a n d Leads Leeds line, was pressed by some of his fellow-workmen to viand hear " the Lind." He, like many other penal', pinioned all the inclination, but lacked the means. He went home, tried without success to borrow the necessary funds, and then heroically determined that Jenny's own property should furnish the means of enabling him to pee and hear her. He took away ten of her handkerchiefs, and got a female to pledge them for him for .ss. 6d. He de clued, on being apprehended, he had no notion that Mrs. Pearson would have wanted the things so soon, and that it was his intention to have released them. He was ordered to pay 6e. 6d., the value of the pledged property, together with a penalty of 20e., and, in default, to be imprisoned for one month. BEING IN Tole,—A correspondent of the Liver pot Courier makes the following statement : "Oa Friday last, a respectable individual, whose name I shall not men tion for certain reasons, called upon the clerk of St. James's cemetery, and requested that his family grave might be opened, as the corpse of a man would be buried on the fol lowing Saturday morning at ten o'clock, at the same time stating that be was not yet dead, but In the last stage of ' disease, and expected every minute to breathe his last. Rav ing no doubt upon the subject, the grave was accordingly opened, and every preparation made : the ropes were laid across the grave for the purpose of lowering the body; the minister, the Reverend Mr. Graham, with the clerk, were in attendance at the chapel at the appointed time, and the sexton was actually tolling the bell, all expecting the mournful procession to arrive. At this juncture the indivi dual who called on Friday, came into the cemetery, at the south end, and was asking one of the grave-diggers at what time they buried on the Sunday morning, stating that the person he had mentioned en Friday was not yet dead. The grave-digger told him that the bell was then tolling for the supposed deceased, and that the minister and clerk were waiting to perform the last rites of the church upon their departed brother ; at hearing this he was struck with asto nishment, and proceeded to the chapel and informed the clergyman that his friend was not dead. The minister was surprised, but could not help laughing heartily. Sunday morning wee appointed, but no funeral, the man being still alive. On Monday it pleased God to release him from this world's troubles, and he was buried on Tuesday morning in the grave prepared for him on Friday."—Liverpool Courier. THE MIRFIELD MURDERS.—It is stated that some very important, though somewhat suspicious additional evi dence, has been traced out with respect to the perpetrators of the triple murder of Mr. and Mrs. Wraith and their ser vant, in May last. It will be remembered that, at the last assizes for Yorkshire, Michael Dl`Calse, one of the men charged with the offence, was admitted to give evidence ; and although he swore that Patrick Reid, his supposed accomplice, was the man whom he saw at the house at the time the crime must have been committed, still the jury found Reid not guilty. It has since transpired that a young girl, whose parents have prevented her from giving the information, mentioned at the moment the deed was first discovered, that she saw the crock man, M'Cabe (who wss well known to the villagers as a hawker of earthenware), come out of the house by the back door about one o'clock, and that she afterwards saw the nephew of the deceased Wraith enter the garden, then go round and look through the window, and subsequently leave the premises for assistance. She further adds, that she remained about the spot till M'Kinnill, the landlord of the public-house, arrived, and entered the premises by the kitchen window, that being the room in which the body of the ger vantLXirl, Ellis, was found. In other circumstantial particulars the girl is confirmed ; and if she should be brought forward at the next assizes, and hear out these statements, her evidence will materially alter the features of the ease SA it at present stands ; but we are not aware what, if any, alteration, it will cause in M'Cabe's position, he having been admitted as Queen's evidence against Reid, for the murder of Mr. Wraith, at the late assizes. M.Cabe is still detained in York Castle, and treated in every respect as a prisoner for trial. The authorities are quietly pursuing their investigations into the mysterious affair ; and u M'Kilty and his wife, who so distinctly swore to the fact of the soldering iron being fetched the night before from their house, by Reid, are still kept in York Castle—though not, of course, subjected to the same rules, nor confined in the same part of the prison, as criminal offenders, but merely with the view of securing their evidence on a future occasion—there is no doubt but that this dreadful affair will again become the subject of in quiry before a jury at the next satires. STOCKPORT is suffering much from the depression of trade. For the last three weeks the tradespeople have complained of having nothing to do. Short time is bringing , with it its concomitant suffering amongst the labouring po pulation. The overseers complain of the inability of about 2,000 persons to pay their rates ; and the defalcation must be made up by those who can pay. It will require for the cur rent half year not less than ss. in the pound (including the pprreesoesnnt rate) to meet the increasing demand' made up to Christmas, by the corporation, for borough rates, and by the board of guardians for "rolls." In the face of another bad winter appearances are exceedingly gloomy. THE SUICIDE OF MR. ROWLAND JONFA, FORMERLY OP THE 67TH REGIMENT, hY caused much convero tion is Chester, where the lamentable act was committed on Monday morning last. It appeared that the deceased, who is about 27 years of ages, in company with Mr. H. Melling, the secretary of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club, arrived at the Green Dragon Inn about eight o'clock en Sunday even ing, from Bangor, and stated their inteation of proceeding on the following morning to Wrexham. The deceased spent the evening with his friend, and retired to bed about 11 o'clock. Mr. Melling and the deceased occupied separate room'. On Monday morning Mr. Melling arose about eight o'clock, and between that hour and half-put eleven he several times went up stairs to his friend's chamber-door to cell him up. On the lot occasion Mr. Jones was on the floor, and he directed Mr. Melling to order some breakfast for him, and promised to be down immedi ately. Not making hie appearance, however, Mr. Melling went up stairs shortly after eleven o'clock, and on receiving no answer after knocking at the door, he opened it, when, to his horror, he beheld his friend stretched lifeless by his bed-side, with a pair of duelling pistols lying near him, with which be had accomplished the act of sell destruction. Surgical aid was immediately obtained, but it was of no avail, as life was quite extinct before the body was found. In the course of the day an inquest was held, when Mr. H. Me ll ing said—l am the secretary of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club, and became acquainted with Mr. R. Jones about twelve months ago, when he joined the club. On the 15th of August last we went with the fleet to Beaumaria, to honour the Queen. and be present at the regatta. The pitch in which we sailed had been purchased by Mr. Jones from myself in April last, but it was not paid for. On Saturday night I slept on board with him, and on Sunday morning we left Bangor by coach for Chester. On the Ist of September, Mr. Jones gave me a cheque for 3501. on the North and South Waits Bank at Bangor, in settlement of my account with him. The mosey was to be paid by Lloyd and Co.'s Bank, at Wrexham, into the North sad South Wales Bark at Bangor, and I was then to get my cheque cashed. I understood Mr. Jones had not that much money in Lloyd's Bank, but he said he thought Mr. Lloyd would advance it for him. The money was not paid at Bangor, as Mr. Jones expected, and he propcsed we should go together to Wrexham and get it there. We accordingly left Bangor by coach on Sunday, and arrived at the Green Dra gon, in Chester, about 8 o'clock the same evening. I was to be Mr Jones's guest, but he had not sufficient money to pay our fare with, and I lent him a sovereign for that pur pose. We had tea at the Green Dragon, and Mr. Jones afterwards drank a glass of ale and a glass of brandy punch. Mr. Jones seemed quite cheerful. When we were p for bed, the chambermaid inquired whether we war have a double-bedded room, and Mr. Jones replied that he would not. We had screed to start on Monday morning by the 10 o'clock train for Wrexham. I arose first on Monday morning, and told the chambermaid to call Mr. Jones. He did not get up, and I then went up stairs myself and told him if he did not ggettt upp we should miss the train. He told me to get my for he did not want say himself. Having mused the 10 o'clock, I wished to get away by the llh. 40m. train, and 1 VMS up stain two or three times to his chamber door to Nguema him to make haste, or we should miss that train the TM het lime I went up the door was a-jar, and I heard bites the deer. I again asked him if he would lake say hawskiest, and ha directed me to order some WM to be pespered for him. As he did not come down Maim Ike saw time I went lap again, and knocked twin at le isee; belt reeeivhig se mower I opened it.

Jame with a pair of pistols sal boll which he Mit in a pistol can, and are those now ; he amassed himself there by shooting at bottles rt ed water, with a young gentleman named Todd. I never pressed him for the money he owed me for the yacht, but there had been a good deal of shuffling on hie part respecting it. All I know of Mr. Jones's connections is what he himself told me. I understand that he for merly held a commission in the 67th Regiment, but that he had sold it. He mid his father was a colonel in the Royal Engineers at Malta, and that he had a eater also resident there. He also told me that the house in which his uncle lived near Wrexham belonged to him, and that he had some property in Devonshire he has give' me unendorsed bill, on his @gents in Devonshire. I never *boned anything in Mr. Jones's conduct to induce me for a moment to suspect that he was not in the polemicist of a sound mind . .-. s g t The Coroner said it was very desirable in a ease of this sort that they should have the evidence of a medical man as to the immediate cause of death ; and it was also but right that the friends of the deceased should have an opportunity of showing, if they could do so, whether his mind was in any way affected. As the case at present stood upon the evidence, he did not we how they could return any other verdict than that-of fele de se; but he was sure the jury would rather not find such a verdict if they could con scientiously return a' a t proposed, therefore, that a post mortern be made, and that they should adjourn the fageset ter a few days.—Mr. Melling intimated his belief, iteeriedless what he had sometimes heard Mr. Jones say, that ho led *ruled an attachment for a young lady in London, whisk was disapproved of by his friends, and whom he hid ashy been prevented fees mar rying for fear of the esisequewese.—The BMW lir.

TIIE SEAT FOR WOLVEREIAMPTON.—The meeting of the electors of this town last Friday (the resolutions at which were advertised in the Daily New of yesterday) was attended by nearly all the influential persons resident in the borough, and the sentiments enunciated in the course of the discussion illustrate how highly Mr. Villiers is regarded by his constituents. The following extract from a private note to Mr. Thomas Walker from the hon. gentleman was read. It said : " I am anxious myself now that this matter of the vat should be put out of doubt, and that my friends should not be exposed to the annoyance of harktg to reply to in. qairies or misstatements on the subject. I could almost have wished that, before any reply is sent to the electors of South Lancashire, that the opinion of the electors of Wolver hampton should be forwarded to me." The utmost enthu slum was manifested at the meeting, and Mr. Villiers's personal friends seem to be confident that he will continue to sit for the borough. Our correspondent says:— "1n the course of the disc-11.8'ton the refcrences to this sub ject which have from time to time appeared in the Daily Newt, on the authority of private letters, were several times referred to, and their accuracy not impeached in the main; but Mr. Fellower, of Minton, and other gentlemen, com plained that in some newspapers erroneous 'ankles to this affair had been published, and it was suggested that the facts should be furnished to each paper. So far, well; but perhaps the best means that could have been taken to have secured publication of the facts, would have been to have advised reporters that this meeting was about to be held. Such was not, however, the caso ; no public notice whatever of the holding of the meeting wee given, end it escaped the notice of all but one, even of the local journals. This may be complained of with some show of reason, because written application had been unsuccessfully made some time before this meeting took place, reqaesting information u to the time it was to be held."

Patrick Kelly, one of the party of reapers who had been working at Patshull a short lime be fore the deceased was found in the pool, and whe had been subsequently working at Wednesbury (the other men hav ing returned to Ireland), was brought up in custody. The finding of the body and the former proceedings before the coroner have alretely been reported in this paper. On Mon day additional evidence was given. Dr. H. Bidwell detailed at some length the appearances which re sented themselves on the post mortem examination, and added that the conclusions he arrived at, after a careful examination of the body, were—that • blow must have been inflicted during the lifetime of the deceased by some blunt instrument upon the left side of the bead, so as to cause a rupture of the blood vessels, and the consequent effusion of blood beneath the skin. From the extent of the ecchymosis he thought it probable that more than one blow had been inflicted. A heavy blow over the temple, such as must have been inflicted in the present instance, though un attended with any fracture of the bones, or apparent injury to the brain, might produce alarming, perhaps fatal conse quences. Such a blow would certainly produce a stunning effect, and, of course, temporary insensibility. It was quite impossible to suppose that this injury could have resulted from any accidental fall into the water. He had reason to believe that life remained after the infliction of the blow, and be grounded his opinion for this belief on the general symptoms of death from drowning which were pre sented on the examination of the body. From the state of decay to which the body bad advanced, he was of opinion that it must have been in the water upwards of seven days. He saw a jug in the right hand of the deceased, hanging upon the two fore-fingen. From the position of the fingers, be thought the jug was put on after death.—Mr. J. Till deposed : I am a farmer, residing at Oaken. Last Wednesday week I saw Peter Larkin and the prisoner Kelly at my house. There were two other per sons whom I did sot know with them. Peter Larkin said he was come for the remainder of his brother John'. wages that were left. I asked him how his brother was. He said he was very ill, and be thought he would not live to go home. He also said that he was in Tettenhall workhouse ; that he was then going to him, and if be was able to walk to Wolverhampton he should take him home by the first train that night. I paid him 65., as the balance which was due to John Larkin, his brother. I had previously paid him 21. on his brother's account. The men theta went away, and I saw no more of them. The prisoner was ten or a dozen yards off when this conversation took place. I cannot say whether he heard it —B. Husselby examined: Last Sunday fortnight an Irishman, who bad been reaping, and who was one of theta that had slept in the stable, was walking round the large pool of the park. He asked me which was the deepest part of it. I did not know his name. It was not either of the Larkins or Kelly. I pointed out the place to him, and he went to the other men in the stable. I did not see him again.—The coroner, in summing up, adverted especially to the evidence of Dr. Bidwell, and observed that there could be no doubt great violence had been in flicted on the body of the deceased before he was put int* the water. From the evidence with respect to the jug, it appeared to him that it must have been pat into his hand after he was in • state of insensibility, to induce the be , lief that he went to the pool to fetch water, and fell is. Dr. Bidwell stated that the deceased could not hare received the wounds by falling into the water, and if that were eo, the deceased must have had the wounds inflicted upon him by some one who had committed great violence upon him. After some further remarks the coroner left the case in the hands of the jury. After a short consultation the foreman said that the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." Oa Tuesday the prisoner Kelly was taken before H. Hill, Esq., and re manded until Friday (to-morrow). WARWICKSHIRE. FREE-TRADE BA.NQUET.—Last evening a grand banquet, to celebrate the triumph of liberal principles, took place in the Music-hall at Birmingham, The brief interval which elapsed between the withdrawal of the cloth and the despatch of our parcel, precluded the possibility of our giving any report to-day. the ith inst. an examination of a'young woman, charged with the murder of her infant daughter, was resumed, before a full bench of magistrates, at the Town-hall. The prisoner, whose name is Ellen To:- ford, aged 24 years, is a fine, handsome-looking female. Upon being placed in the dock, the following evidence was adduced Superintendent Tracy said, from information which I received respecting the prisoner I was induced to make inquiry at the Louth workhouse, where I learned that the prisoner, who had for some time been en inmate. had there been delivered of a female child about five weeks be fore, and that she left the house on the 28th of Aug., stating that she was going to Thorby. I traced her to Thorby, but she had no child with her. Upon going to the house where she was staying, she denied that she had had a child. I did not therefore at that time take her into custody. Finding that she had afterwards absented herself from the house, and wended herself in another, I gave orders for her appre hension, and went in search of the child. The result of this inquiry was, that I traced the prisoner as far as Houghton, on the Spilby road, with the child in her possession, beyond which all trace of the child was lint. The prisoner wee there seen near a pond with what appeared to be an infant in her arms. Upon the apprehension of the prisoner I asked her if she would state what had become of the child, to which she replied that it had been thrown into a pond by a man whom she had met, to account for which the said that the child had died, and that she was crying that the man asked her the reason, she told him, upon which he said he would soon get over that for her, and then threw the child into the pond. I then went, continued the constable, and searched the pond, where I found the child ; it was quite naked, and I afterwards searched the prisoner's house, where I found the child's clothes ; they were quite wet and spotted with blood; they had been hidden in a coal-hole.— Mr. Bogg, surgeon, of Loath , said : I made a post-mortews examination oftbs body of the child. One side of its mouth wu cut away, and a portion of the tongue had been cut out. There were several wounds in the abdomen, which had evi dently been made by the minors which were found oa the prisoner.—By the bench : lam quite certain the toque was cut out while the child was alive. I attribute the im mediate cause of death to drowning, although the demised would never have recovered from the injuries which it had received.—Several other witnesses were examined, whose testimony corroborated the above facts, after which the pri soner was remanded.—An inquest has been held on the body, before Kr. F. Use, and, notwithstanding the above facts were sworn to, the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful mur der against some person or pumas eadasown." LITERATURE.
