TRADE wan LIVERPOOL.--SCI mended is the steam navigatinn now between Dublin and Liverpoo', that low ve.sels arrived within a short time of each other oo Saturday morning last, viz. the Mona, the Emerald Ide, the Liffey, and the City of Dublin. Wednesday, an inquest was held on the body of Juhr. Vurlor, ger, who was found drowned in the River. A wontail, ~ rho lived with the deceased, deposed, that a loan, named Sprat', who is now in prison, and against w snm a wirtant for an assault bad been issued at the instance of the deceased, told her she might expect her husband to be brought home on a shutter, and the same day the deceased was missing ; but the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against some person or et sons unknown. per Last night an Inquest was held at the Norfolk Arms pablic-house, in Leigh-street, Burton-crescent, on the body of James Highams, who was killed on Tuesday by sogar•hogshead falling upon him. Dennis Ivers stated, that be Was waggoner to Messrs. Hicks and Co. mer chants, Borough. On Tuesday, about three o'clock in the afternoon, he was unloading four hogsheads of sugar and one tierce of coffee, at the shop of Mr. Pratt, grocer, Judd.rreet. The deceased who was appren ticed to Mr. Pratt. was assisting, when, as he was endeavouring to lower the rail-board_of the waggon to let down the first hogshead, deceased, supporting the hogshead with one hand, suddenly -slipped down, and the cask fell over him. He did not know what caused the young. man to slip down; he immediately helped Mr. Pratt and John Crossan to take the body from under the hogshead. It appeared to be lifeless, and blood was gushing from the eyes and ears. D:ceased never spoke or moved after the accident;and was quite , dead in a few minutes. Crofton Cooper, Esq. a surgeoa, reeding in Judd -street, deposed that he saw the body about a quarter of an hour a' ter the accident. Her did not examine it professionally; but had no hesitation in !;iving it as his opinion that • was the undue pressure oR the head and chest which occasioned death. The waggoner, upon being further questione.f, said, that he ad been seven years in the business, and never knew of an accident happening before. He thought two men quite enough for the work of unloading a waggon with sugar hogsheads. It was not customary to sear! more than one man, the carman, upon such occasions. The body did nnt exhibit a single mark of external violence beyond a slight scratch on the cheek. The f( flowing verdict was returned :—" The Jury return t!,eir verdict of Accidental Death, and consider it highly improper on the part of the merchants in not sending a sufficient number of persons to unload the waggon, it having been stated in evidence to the Jary that it is not customary to send more than one man, viz. the carman, with each waggon, except in cases nearer home." • A NOTH an RtIISB•R Stior.—The grounds of Mr. John Ilartis, •fatmer and market gardener, at Wargrove, Berks, having been continually of late plund..red of the most choice produce, and as the depredations were ge! nerally committed on market.. mornings,- when Mr. Harris was obliged to be absent from home, he deter mined en Monday last to return some hours before his accustomed time: accordingly, having disposed of his produce, he left his team under the care of his man, and en't home by a coach. lle then took a horse pistol, loaded with small shot, and proceeded to hi.. orchard,.where he found a person in the act of stealing rears. Tke man, on seeing him, attempted to run off aid having refused to stop when tailed on so to do, Mr. Harris discharged his-pistol at him; and from Iris sub beTient litrOng, it became evident that he had re ceived a part of the contents in his back. Mr. Harris did not pursue him, contented with this summary mode of puniikamt. HASTINGS,-SEFT. During the last 16 years, Hastings his greatly in cressttd in size, popUl akin, and importance, as a wa tering place. If it be inferior in gaieties and fashion able amusements to Brighton, it possesses some advan ta:tes, at least, in its bolder, more antique, and verdant scenery. The achievement of the comprehensive plans now carrying on about the Castle, including the new line of London road, which is to run from New Has. tings to Beauport, will add greatly to the improvement and convenience of the place. It is remarkable that thii, ancient town, though it c on ta in s two large parishes, and the two old Parish Churches, with a population of 6000 persons, has only one Clergyman between the parishes. The present worthy and venerable Intumbent, the Rev. W. Whistler, who is now upwards of 70 years of age, officiates singly in both Parish Churches, discharging his onerous duties with an ardour and perseverance be coming his divine mission. THE CITY OF LONEWN LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION. The first half-yearly Meeting of the City of London Literary and Scientific Institution, which was established for the promotion of useful knowledge amongst the commercial and professional youth of this metropolis, was held at Albion Hall, Moorgate, cm Wednesday, evening. The room was filled with young tradesmen, merchants, and bankers' clerks, and others connected with some of the most respectable houses in the City. C. P. Thompson, E,q. in the Chair. Mr. Stacey, the Secretary, read the report, which stated, that within three mouths nearly GOO of the commercial youth of the City had come forward to form the 'lnstitution, which, as soon as they could obtain suitable premises for their lecture room and library, so as to be enabled to enter into full operation, would doobtless exhibit a splendid example of the desire existing for mental cultivation. Upwards of 7001. in donations had been received from a number of bankers and traders, who were desirous of encouraging the pursuits contemplated in the Institution. Other Gentlemen had made dona tions of valuable books. A number of literary and scientific persons had come forward with offers of gratuitous lectures. Dr. Mitchell, of New Broad street, had given two lectures on the use of the globes. Mr. Black had commenced a course of lectures on the Paidophilean system of teaching languages. br. Spier had commenced a course of lectures on physiology. Mr. Bankes had offered them a course of lectures on Belles Letsres. Mr.M.lntyre had offered a course on botany; Mr. James Taylor, on music ; Mr. Crombie, on the topography of London ; and Mr. Partiogton had delivered part of a course of lectures on natural and experimental philosophy. The offers of professors to teach the languages were highly encouraging. In fact, by the facilities which their systentof mutual co-opera tion offered, the youth of the City would be able to ob tain the advantages of an after-education of the highest order, comprising a knowledge of the sciences, and of the living and dead languages, calculated to enable them to fill any situation with honour and advantage to their falow-citizens. The report concluded with a strong expression of the obligation under which the In stitution considered itself to the liberal and enlightened part of the public press. Mr. G. W. Prescott, of the house of l'rescott and Co. (one of the auditors), read a statement of the accounts of the Institution, from which it appeared, that after payment of all she first expenses, there remained a balance of 1,1001. When the Institu tion was first projected, they were asked " What the des ks cared for mental improvement ? What did young tradesmen care for but money getting, and eating and• drinking r It was asserted that none could be found to co-operate. The friends of education could give a triumphant answer to those objections now. Some who were wise in their generation had expressed serious apprehensions as to the consequences of opening the gates of knowledge or science wide to all corners, as if good sense, which it was their objact to promote, was not the best guarantee for a mm's being a good subject, and performing his duties well in whatever situation he may be placed. Mr. Elliott moved the thanks of the Society to Dr. Mitchell. It was carried unanimously. The old Chapel of Frimley, in the parish of Ashe, Surrey, anciently connected with the Abbey of Chert. sey, has been recently pulled down, and a new stone edifice, on a larger scale, to carry a tower. is now being erected on the same site, under the•auspices of the Lord Bishop of.WINCIIESTR/t. A duel was fought early yesterday, in the Edgeware I enclosures, between a Mr. NICHOLSON and Monsieur PIRRAHD . , of Chalfont, Herts, in which the latter was wounded in the wrist in the second fire. The dispute originated from the dogs of each crossing each other in the field; and Monsieur's dog having ran in upon a covey while Mr. isTictioLsoN's dog was at the full point, he shot at him, and received a written challenge in the field. About four o'clock yesterd4y morning, a dreadfpl uproar was occasioned in Smithfield, upon the removal of some of the show-booths. A parcel of fellows, evi dently thieves, assembled near Hosier-lane, and at tacked everybody indiscriminately that passed that way. Several females had their feelings outraged in the most disgraceful manner by the ruffians, who tore away their shawls and bonnets. At length several persons inter fergcl, and commenced an attack upon the gang, but they were overwhelmed by nu others, robbed, and beat in a shameful manner ; one man was removed in a state of insensibility, his skull being said to be fractured.— Several of the ruffians'are in custody. One wiman was taken to the Hospital, very seriously injured. Yesterday evening a Coroner's inquest was held, by Thomas Stirling, EA. at the Cherry Tree, Bowli green-lane, Clerkenwell, on the body of Frederick Smith, a fine boy, five years of age, whose death was occasioned by his falling or rolling off the foot pave ment into the carriage road, as three loaded drays belonging to Messrs. Combe and Delafield were passing. ender the last of these three drays the deceased fell, and the wheels going over his body, crushed him in so (heedful a manner, tharhe died while being carried to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. By the evidence, it ap peared that the drayman,who was driving very steadily-, and walking by the side of ha horses, did not see the I deceased, and was not conscious that any accident had occurred unt I the tbill-horse was startled at the ob struction of the Thermid is extremely . natrow, and the footpath consequently very dairAercus; and by the evidence of a hackney coachman, flamed Thcmas Davis, who was driving his• catch, and following t! e Jrays, it was clear that no fault was atiributable to the draymap. The Jury havin,.t viewed tl-e body, which was literally cru bed to a are.

The game commenced about finer months ago. and the moves, since that period, have been regularly transmitted through tbe.po t. In the progress of the game, considetable skill has been displayed by the respective combatants, and the odds from time to time have undergone great fluctuation,. The conflict is drawing to a close, and the game is no* reduced- to that state as to be highly flattering to the skill and Ingenuity of the Leeds amateurs, and to ren der it mote than probable that the laurels of !licitly will shortly crown their efforts with success, in a contest in which they have had o encounter brave, wary, and skilful antagonists. The following was the state of ,he game according to the last account, via. Liens—Black. King on his Biship's second square. King's Bishop on King's second square.

You may endeavour, if you please, to propagate my refusing four challenge, and brand me with cowardice; but I am fully convinced that nobody will believe roe guilty, *ad everybody will see that you ate nialicioue.
