LIVERP APRIL 19.—Our cotton market continues dull at last week's prices, and the sales, including this day, Tuesday, and Monday, amount to about 3500 bags. NVednesday the Grand Jury for the county of Middle sex found true bills of indictment against the Ploprieiors of two Sunday Papers, for alleges libels contained in their Papers, on the character of Mr. Bochsa. Stepheit Cole, the millman of 0. E. Browne, of Nails worth, clothier, a bankrupt, was on Friday committed to Gloucester county gaol, for refusing to answer ques tions put to him by the Commissioners, relating to t' e dealings of the bankrupt. The remains of Pollard, the murderer, were interred on Tuesday bight. at eleven o'clock, in the new burial ground, St. John's Wood. They wrre borne from the Workhouse by ei s lit of the p super s. No funeral service was read on ti , e occasion. Monday a Meeting of about 150 persons residing on the line of the propo.ed improvements near Charing Cross, was ! el,s .at Messr , . Flight and Robson's Rooms; Mr. Wstts, chemist, of the Strand, being unanimously called to the Chair. In the course of the discussion it was objected t the Bill, that the interests of yearly ten.tuts were not sufficiently attended to. As the Bill was at present w(.rded, no compensation was held out th•m for-their fixtures and good will. The course by which any claim was to be established, was thought oppressive, front the scrutiny to which it would subject the affairs of individuals. On these points it was re solved to petition Parliament. AsnucrroN.—The State Trials contain the report of a case of abduction in the year 1702, in the reign of Queen Arts; a Danish captain, of the name of Swens den, carried off a Miss Rawlins, a young Lady Residing in London, about 18 years of age, having a fortune of 200 W. and 201. a year. It appeared that he had visited the young Lady, and paid his addresses to her; but, having a rival, he employed a woman whom he had got introduced into the family, to invite the young Lady and her guardian to take a ride in a coach, when her taken on a false arrest, and conveyed to the Fleet, and under the terror of being sent to gaol she married him. The Captain pleaded that the young Lady had encouraged his addresses, and called evidence to prove that she had often - shewn great partiality for him, and did not object to the marriage. The Jury re turned a verdict of Guilty; and the f , Rowing day Sarah Dayton, whom he had engaged to inveigle Miss Raw lins into the coach, was also tried and convicted, and both received sentence of death. Captain Swrnsden declared that Miss Rawlins went away from him as good a maid as she came to him. The Judge said that had nothing to do with the case. Sarah Baynton de clared that she was quick with child, and her sentence was respited. Swenaden was executed at Tyburn. r is PEER AGES. • COMMITTEE OF PRIVILEGES, HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 20. It was resolved that Lords Carina Sheffield, Hartland, and the Marquis of Downshire, had established their claims to vote at. the election of Representative Peers for Ireland. THE DowNES PEERAGE. Mr. Goulburn (the Secretary for Ireland), and Mr. Leslie Foster were examined to prove that the late Lord Downes bad died without issue; and as in the case of such 'an event the afore said barony was limited to Ulysses Burgh : his claim thereto was accordingly admitted. - - - THE L')VAT PEERAGE. Dr. M'Donald was examined as to the state of health of several persons residing in Scotland, whose tt•stimotty was requisite to establish the claim to the above title. His evidence went to show that their health was in so precarious a state, as to render it perilous for them to attend at the bar of their Lordships house. He was strictly examined by Loral Lauderdale, the Lord Chan cellor, and the Duke of Clarence, and his testimony created Ho incaasiderable amusement in the House. It appeased that he had been commissioned by the claim ant to visit the patients, for the purpose of giving this information to their Lordships. He visited them but once; did not even then feel their pulses, but formed his opinion from their external appearances, and from their answers to his interrogatories, though they were interested in giving an uzfavourable account of their health, as their attendance at the ha; would be dis pensed with if they could make such an impression. After some discussion, the Committee resolved that a Commission be appointed to examine the patients in Scotland. THE DE LISLE PEERAGE. . Mr. HART appeared on behalf of the claimant,. and replied to the statements which the Attorney-General had made on Thursday last, with whom, he said, he agreed in the generality of the facts, but differed from him on several points of law. The reason why this title had continued so long in abeyance was, because the elder branches of the family had sat in their Loidships' House by virtue of higher titles than that now claimed, until about half a century ago. He impugned the doc trine laid down by the Attorney General, that Lord Talbot, by accepting the same title by patent, had vacated the Barony in Fee. It had been resolved in their Lordships' House, that nu act of any person, save that which amounted to corruption of blood, could an nihilate a Peerage in Fee. He contended that a succes sion of summonses implied a sitting, as the privileges of the House were founded on Magna Charta, which imposed an obligation on those summoned to attend for the benefit of the community. There were several in- . st.o on record of Peers having been fined for non attendance; and the absence of such in a case of so many writs ought to satisfy their Lordships of a m sitting having taken place.—The further hear►ng was ad journed to Thursday next. The St. George Divorce Bill was read a second time. Samuel Barker having presented a petition, praying that the marriage between bins and his wife, Ameliti Penelope, may be ren dered null and void, and also that a second copy of the proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Courts may be dispensed with, a Bill to that effect was brought in and read a first tiniepro fornsel. The second reading has been appointed to take place in a fortnight. Lund Nugent has preferred a claim to be allowed to vote u Irish elections. LAW REPOR r. VICE-CHANCERY, WZIIMIXSTCR, Aram O. IN TII6 MATTER OF POMROY, A BANKRUPT. Mr. WILLIAKS appeared in Court, and stated, that in this matter an issue had been directed by his honour to try the validity of the act of bankruptcy of Mr. Pomroy. The issue went to trial in Devonshire, and the Codnsel on the other tide, lear ling that a witness under examination could not speak, to be petitionirig creditor's.debt (amounting to upwards of 2,0(X)1.) ex cept from books which were not in Cotta, adrolly ob jected to the witness giving evidence of the debt, which objection the Court, on being pressed, arowed•—The trial of the p 'int, therefore, which this Court meant to be tried, had been entirely defeated. The result was, that he (Nlr. W.) was under Vie necessity of praying his Honour to hive the goodness to apply for the Learned Judge's notes, who tried the issue, that proceedings for a new trial might be adopted. Mr. Williams was not conversant with the practice of this Court, but he be lieved his clients would be under the necessity of present ', ing a petition, praying for a new ttial, the natters in dispute being in bankruptcy. • Ihe VICE-CHANCILLOIL observed that a petition would have to be presented, and Mr.Williaats's client would do well to present it, praying alternatively, that the Court would order a new trial, or wake the decree as originally asked fur ; and upon the facts, as had now been stated, being proved, the Court would not grant a new trial, but would act. as it should think fir, without any regard what ever t • the verdict obtained upon a point, raised evidently to de feat the intention of this Court. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Aran 20. Willions Morelos, who had barn convicted of an assault at the last Assises for Bedford, before Judge 110LROYD, was brought up this day for judgment, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment in the House of Corr•.ction, in lietlfurd.—No other case of public in terest came on this Morning. The Loan Cunt JUSTICA sat at one o'clock to hear Nisi Prius cases. MIDDLESEX ADJOURNED SESSIONS. Yesterday John Upton, eating- house-keeper, of Ayles bury-street, Clet kens% el, was indicted for attempting to poison Mr. Chaples Dyson. The facts of the cast! are these: Mr. Dyson is a collecting clerk to an iron founder, knd had been in the habit, for the last three years, of dining almost daily at the house of the defen dant. On the 20th of February, he called there as usual, and did not leave till towards evening. He was rather in liquor at the time. Before he had got far, the de fendant overtook him, and they went to a public-house, the George public-house, in Shoreditch. The defendant called for a pint of ale, and wanted prosecutor to sit down in the parlour, but he refused. The landlord, Perry, drew the ale, and supplied two clean pipes; took them to the defendant into the parlour, who called to Dyson to come in also. Dyson said he would not go in, he would have something "short" at the bar. At this time Dyson had about him 1201. iq notes, cheques, and bills of exchange. Mr. Perr y went into the par lour, and the prisoner asked him to partake of the ale. He observed that one of the glasses of ale was thick and discoloured, and the other bright, and he a,ked the de fendant the cause. He replied that the glass must have been ditty. He (witness) rejoined, that they were both clean when he put them on the table, and be poured out the contents of the discoloured ale glass, and found a white sedithent at the bottom. He took the same to a surgeon, who said it was oxalic acid.—Mr. AnoLenus addtessed the Jury for the defendant, and pointed out the improbability of his client, a man of fair character, attempting to do such an act. A number of witnesses were called to character, and the Jury pronounced the defendant Not Guilty. Two resurrectionists were sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Notwithstanding the late frosts, the apple-trees in the south of Devon have a promising appearance. THE ARMY. Lieutenant NOCINT, of the 54th Regiment, is appointed id the command of the recruiting department in the Limerick district, in: the room of Lieutehant BROW/4111:O, Rifle Brigade.

THE LATE MOMS AT MAIM-LA-BONNE. -- A Mrs. Hogan ap plied yesterday to the Magistrates of this office for advice. She stated that Pollard and Mrs. Pilgrim had lodged at her house till the Thursday preceding the murder of Mr. Cooper, and that some property had been loft in the apartments, which she wi,hed to de liver up to the person who was legally entitled to it, her rent being previously paid. Mrs. Pilgrim had applied fur the property; but she had declined giving it up to h.r, till she had taken advice. The Magistrate said, that in consequence of Ellu verdict of the Jury, all Pollard's property was futteited to the Crown; but, atter the rent was paid, he should recommend it to be given up to Mrs. Pollard, who had a more equitable claim to it than Mrs. Pilgrim.—The applicant asked if she should be justified in selling the property to pay her rent ; but the Magistrate advised her dot to do so, but to arrange the nutter with Pollard's widow. M:\ lt I. SOHO G 11. STItEET. CUTTING AND MAinuic.-- A black man named Jeers', who sweeps a crossing, and his paramour, a woman named aViouns, re siding in St. Giles's, were charged with ♦iolently assaulting a woman named Clancey, who lodged in the same house with them. The quarrel seemed to be not clearly stated before the Magistrate, as the unfortunate woman is dangerously ill; but it appeared that Nunan and she met on the stabs, When the former pushed Clancey down, when both prisoners kicked her until some of her ribs were broken; and after that Nunan called on the black to latch a knife, which he did, and stabbed Mrs. Clancey on the head. They were both remanded, until the fate of Mrs. Clancey is decided. John Murphy, a remarkably simple-looking Irish youth. was re examined on a charge of obtaining 411. 641. of Mr. Swish, perfumer of Oxford-street, under false pretences. Lord Eden declined to prosecute a ►irnilar charge against the prisoner; but he was fully committed upon the former charge. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday, a fellow warned Willittnu was sent to the house of Correction tor a month, for grossly insulting a Gentlethan named New, who had refused to bestow alms on hint. UNION-HALL. A farmer, named Miller, who arrived in town on Wednesday, and received too sovereigns at the Bank, stated that OR his return into the Borough, while gazing in a shop window in High-street, be was accosted by a genteelly-dressed young matt, requesting to know the hour. The farmer told him, and the young man then asked the state of the crops, &c. and afterwards requested the favour of his company to take a glass of Wine. They retired to a tavern close at hand, and had two bottles of wine. Mr. Miller, becoming drowsy, tell into a doze, and meanwhile his new ac quaintance rubbed him of a yellow bag, containing 100 sovereigns, besides his old family watch.—The their well known to the Offi cers of Ibis establishment. TOWN-HALL Gene Cayman, a watchman, of St. George's parish, was held to bail fur an assault upon 111 r. Samuel Hicks, upholsterer, Martin street, Blackftlars' Road. The complainant was returning on Tues. day night through Fryer -street, accompanied by his wife, who was a few yards in advance, when she was attacked by two women, one of them (the defendant's wife), who knocked her down. The complainant interfered, when the defendant, after springing his rattle, with the aid of ten or twelve othe r watchmen, conveyed the complainant and his wile to the watchhouse, front whence they were discharged by blaisey, the Sight Constable. The defendant was severely rebuked by the blagietrate, and told his discharge should be looked to.

King, is fitting out in the River ) and will shortly proceed upon the service for which she is destined. We understand that Captain King is to survey the whole coast of South America, from the mouth of the Rio de la Plata to the Straits of Magellan, a region hitherto but little expl , red, and abounding with objects of the highest interest to zcience its general. He is to have under his orders the Beagle sloop, commanded by Capt. Pringle Stokes. It is stated that 3,600 Slaves have been captured and liberated on the Coast of Aft ica during the last twelve months, by the squadron under the command of Com modore Mullen.—[t is now upwards of eleven years since the late Lord Londonderry made treaty with the Continental Powers for the Abolition of the Slave Trade; and, if these treaties had been entered into in' the spirit of good faith, no more slaves would at this day have been cart led from the Coast of Africa. The fact, boo ever, is, Ih4l the trade is now carried on to an extent of which there is no former parallel; whether we zefer to the number of the victims, or the atrocities to which they have been subjected.—The French flag is now the unmolested cover for this traffic ; and no less than 60,000 Aft icaes have been shipped from the Coast of Africa to the French Islands, Cuba, and the Brazils, during the last year. Wednesday se'nnight, a woman, in a quarrel with her husband, of the name of Grant, in their own house, Popular-lane, Leith, struck him so severe a blow with a stick on the head behind the ear, as to cause his death• A Commission under the Great Seal was opened at the Staffordshire Lunatic Asylum, on Friday the 17th inst. to inquire into the lunacy of George Smith. The. Jury, after hearing the evidence of Mr. James Smith, brother of the lunatic, and of Mr. Garrett, surgeon and superintendent of the Asylum, pronounced G. Smith to be of unsound mind. Some accounts have been submitted to the House of Commons calculated to chew the state of the consump tion of taxed commodities. Tea, tobacco, foreign brandy, rum, geneva, are comprised in these accounts. Com paring the average of ten years, from 1806 to 1815 in clusive, with that of teri years from 1816 to 1825 inclu sive, the consumption of tea has increased about 12 per cent. that of tobacco less than one pet cent. and that of each of the other articles has diminished, foreign brandy, five per cent. rum, 30 per cent. geneva, 60 per cent. A celebrated Banister of the Irish Court, who had been a short time before horse-whipped at the foot of Nelson's Pillar, in Sackville.street, so severely as to be carried home bleeding with the severity of his punish. ment, cross-examined a man who had indicted another for an assault. " Pray, Sir," said the Counsel, with the usual barristerial insolence, "were you well beaten ?" " Yes, Sir," said the man, " quite as well as you were at the foot of Nelson's Pillar." The Counsel turned pale with rage and mortifieation, and turning to Lord Norbury, " My Lord," said he, " I appeal for the fro tectien of the Court against this impertinence." "The Court," cried Lord Norbury, " can never refuse its pro tection to any one who has bled under the immortal , Nelson." SPORTING INTEUIGENCL BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, Arau. 20. The betting on the Derby and Oaks daily become more Interest= log from the criteria afforded to speculative by the different Stakes at Newmarket. The odds will be materially affected by the result et the ensuing week's running, as several, indeed nearly all the favourites are expected to start, including, besides those who have already appeared, Mr. Goddard's colt, out of Viseountess, and Baron Munchansen ; hk Majesty's filly Elizabeth will also runs bat in matches only. Frutn the uncertainty of tke past Week's loaning, and the still deep engagements of the favourites, the bootti makers will have occasion for all their ingenuity w keep tltelk air counts right. The Subscribers mustered to-day In great numbers, and , the betting was both heavy and important. The speculations on the Derby were principally on Monarch anithe.Moslent, the Cornier opening as first favourite at about 9 to 2, at which odds he wee backed to some account. The Mwlem's friends then rallied, and brought their books to even with the other, and two or three largt sums were staked between them, but Monarch speedily resunied his 'vantage ground, and settled at 4 to 1, more than which could not be got at the close of the room. A good deal of business was done on the Oaks, and the changed are interesting. Butterfly kept at 7to 2 till the betting was nearly finished, when she suddenly dropped to 4 to 1 and 9 to 2,a fraction between the two being the current quotation.—Problem was the third favourite for some time, but Parapinie receding, they were first backed against each other at even, and then Problem became 2d in the list at 3 to 4 against the other.—This seems to Laufirrn the report that she is b. better than Parapluie. Some heavy engagements were entered into on the Newmarket Stakes of nest week, though little was said on the St. Leger.— rime odds on the whole are as under : CLAIM/4110N STAMM. 6 to 4 agst The Moslem 10 to I agst Parapluie 2 to 1 agst Monarch 10 to 1 agst General 5 to 1 agst Crusader 2000 gs.

At five minutes past eight the Captain completed his undertaking. having four hours and fifty-five minutes to spare. He immediately stepped into a coach, and, amidst repeated cheers, was drawn to the bar racks (a distance of upwards of four miles) by the assembled multi tude. Upon arriving at the barracks the coach was drawn up to the Officers' door, and, after the Captain had alighted, the company sung the National Anthem.

Lieut. Grottos Dvan, R.N. whose untimely and me lancholy death is already known, was the son of the late General Dyne, of the division of Royal Marines. The French papers contain a striking decision by the Court of Assize of Paris, in favour of individual liberty, and against an arbitrary arrest. An agent of police, called Coffin, had arrested a citizen called TrAuchel, who was almost immediately taken before a commis sary of police, and liberated, there being no charge against him. He complained to the Prefect of the con ' duct of his agent, but received no answer. lie then entered his complaint to the judicial authority against Coffin. In consequence of the charge made, Coffin was tried on Friday, and sentenced to the penalty of de- Iradation from all the rights of citizenship; besides being ordered to pay 3,000 francs of damages, in con sequence of a civil process.
