ItE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts fr•orlr Morning Papers, August 14 .[MORNING. CHRONICLE.] According to the last advises from Barcelona, that place had been amply supplied with provisions, as well through the active and patriotic exertions of the municipality, as the devotion to the Con stitutional cause, and energies of the inhabitants generally. The Municipality is composed of men of the most decided character, and. the. first Sheriff, Sofas, who is indefatigable in his exer tions, is a man of extraordinary ability. Before the resources of the city and neighbourhood were ascertained, some a ppreheOions were entertained that a place, containing at present 160,000• in. habitants, might experience a scarcity of provi- SionSi if the French undertook the siege in good earliest, and brought an adequate force before it, - which must be at least equal to 20,000 men; but !this apprehension is now entirely removed, so great have been the exertions in all quarters. As many useless persons as possible have been re moved from the town, and all the rich families have been enjoined to lay in, for themselves and all their dependents, a stock fully equal tosix months consumption, renewable as fast as consumed. The order has been readily obeyed, and numerous indi viduals who had funds lying bythem idle,and never dreamt of carrying on trade, have invested them in provisions, for the purpose of retailing them out to the inhabitants, at a moderate rate, in case the town should be pressed. Besides, there . is always in the public store-houses a stock kept up by constant renewal at the same amount, •of which the following is a correct account—wheati 100,000 quarters ; flour, 79,000'quintals (100 lbs.. each) ; salt fish, 20,000 quintals ; peas, beaus-„&c. 79,000 qrs.; pickled tumey fish, 3,800 pipes oil, 300,000 cuartalesl . rice,3o,oooquinta Is; tire-wood,. 400,000quimals;.besides pulse„hay,straw,barrey,, tki% of w hick the quantity is immense. The fortresses are filled with provisions, and a constant stock or cattle, sheep, &c. ii kept up. All the ditches of the• walls, us weil as the gardens of the Convents and private families, in short, every portion. of spare ground, has been planted with potatoes, which in three months will yield a crop equal to 50;000' quintals.. in this provident manner have: the.Catalonians acted with regard to their capital', well aware of the great influence its safety must have on the issueof the campaign sensible,'On this very account, of the exer tions the French would make to get it into their tiossession. So spirited and patriotic a determine• lion on the part of one of the most important and populous cities in the Peninsula, may enable us to judge what must he the feelings prevalent in a province in which so noble an example is set. We have here .alt earnest of the' firayrnrin- , ' ner in which the Catalonians are resolved' to de fend their liberties. The S'ornateites,• a daring and active militia, maintained at the expencu of . the respective districts in which they are raised, /WOW' the country, and when pressed, entered Barcelona, Lerida, or some of the fortified points, and laugh at the pursuit of an enemy.—When Mimi has tired and exhausted his flying parties, he makes them-enter, and takes out fresh troops, by which , means' he is able to perform those ex traordinary movements that both harrass and con found his opponents. Hence the whole campaign has hitherto been spent in marches and counter marches, in which the gallant Chieftan of Cala lona has wearied out the patience of Moncey, -without allowing him to gain a gitgLe advantage of a decided nature. The French 'Officers and men are thus in the utmost dispair,• and also ex posed to the greatest privations, notwithstanding, they are so near their own frontiers and resources. [THE TIMSS.J Letters and papers have been received from Madrid to the 6th inst. They contain nothing of any importance.. I•t would appear, however, from them, that very active operations were car rying on by the Constitutional Guerillas in Estre. madura, as we are told that some light troops had left Madrid in great haste to assist,the Royal ists in that quarter, and to prevent the enemy from advancing on the capital. Of our extracts this day from the French pa. pers, the most interesting is a long bulletin from Guilleminot, dated Ilea7l.quarters, Manxanares,• the 6th instant, and containing a French official narrative of the several movements of Molitor's division, from the capture of the small post of Lorca, down to the end of last month. This, though in some points an unfair and grossly co loured statement, is nevertheless of much portance, from the light, partly direct, partly incidental, which it throws on the preceding French accounts, as well as on the strength of the Spanish army, and on the operations of Bal terns, previous to his defection. Molitor has beet; compelled to weaken his corps, from the prodigious line of country along which he has advanced, and the number of Spanish garrisons which he has left behind him. Th e strength of some of these garrisons may be judged of, from the fact, that a foraging party sent out from Carthagena on the 18th, consisted of 1,500 men ; and found employment for a strong detachment of the corps of General Vincent, who had been left by Molitor atMurcia, to watch with upwards of 4,000 men the two fortresses of Carthagena and Alicant. On the 0 -Ith Molitor seems for the first time to have ob tained accurate intelligence as to the positions of the Spanish army. Zayas, with a separate corps,. was at Grenada. Ballasteros and IJulauzar, with the main body, had advanced in secresy from Grenada and :Jaen to Guadallmertona—a posi. tion to the north of the great road leading from Guadix to Grenada, nod flanking on its right the march of the French corps d'armee. Molitor was fortunate enough to discover this design, and moved on to attack the Spaniards. A cavalry action took place in front of Guadalhuertona on the 25th, when, as usual, the advantage is claimed for thi" hulletin-writer's party, and with the usual addition also, which has really become as disgraceful to the present French staff as it was to the Buonaparte school ) _ 'whence they borrowed it—that while the enemy's loss consisted of hundreds, their own was limited to some half dozen men. After this action, Mo litor, in want of provisions, detached five batta lions and some cavalry against Grenada, from which place Zayas, on their reproach, retired.— The French force under Molitor was, in conse quence of its successive detachments, reduced, says Guilleminot, to 14 battalions, or perhaps 6,000 men.—Ballasteros on the 27th took the strong position of Campillo de Arena—all the heights of which he occupied with his infantry on the 28th, when Molitor attacked him with the three divisions of Loverdo, Pelleport, and Donlon. The conduct of the Spanish General on that day is described by the adverse bulletin to, have been vigorous and skilful. That the beaten army (if, after all, it was beaten) continued to give Molitor uneasiness for his communications with Murcia, is acknowledged by Guilleminot, who states distinctly, that in consequence of such fears, the division of Loverdo had made a retrograde march to Guadix.—(lbid.) [MORNING eon.] We received last night Fromlr Papers by ex. press to the 13th inst. They contain no addi. tional intelligence respecting the "submission" of Ballasteros, and we should not he astonished to find that if it really occurred it was wholly personal, and did not extend to his army. This opinion is in some measure confirmed by the official details of the affair fought at Campillo de Arenas, where, notwithstanding the admitted bravery of his troops, and the excellence of their positions, Ballasteros contrived, we are told, with twelve thousand men, to lose a battle against 6,000 French, commanded by Molitor ! For there appears to have been no fault or luke warmness on the part of his soldiers : and it would be an extraordinary case of human incon sistency of the brave and patriotic warriors of the day before, should en the morrow prove deaf to the voice of honour and traitors to their country. Had indeed the loss - of the Constitutionalists in he battle been , such att to break down their force as an army, and reduce them to utter help lessness, there would have been some excuse for the defection of both Commander and mete. But that was fur from being the ease, According to the official Bulletin, in which the Spanish toss is undoubtedly rated as highly as possible, it did not exceed 800 in killedywounded,and prisoners, and that after a whole day's fighting. Now 800 out of 12,000 leaves fur unimpaired body of 11,200 men, still possessing a superiority of 5,000 in numbers over the victorious enemy. —Whatever Ballasteros may have done, there fore, cannot have been done through necessity ; and when we find it stated in the same Bulletin that Zayas had so' separated from him, and was at the head of a military corps after the action,• we think it highly probable that he may have inherited his army, as he did that of A bishal some months before, and as Quiroga did the greater part of that of Morino. Under the command of a man of sincere patriotism, of skill and enterprise, there Is no doubt from what Dias passed in Catalonia that it might still do much service to the cause of independence.• [NEW Timas.l The Courier of yesterday brought out another ' of its alarming articles : acid it told just as well 'as the famous retreat of the French behind the Ebro. Stocks fell very remarkably, and all sorts of rumours were' set afloat. The Cortes, it was said, had threatened the life of the King—a ,Counter -Revolution had taken place in Portugal —ilullasteros had not submitted to the Regency— Quiroga was going somewhere, to do something, nobody knew what.—For ow own part, we must say, that in the midst or all this storm we are disposed to feel pretty much at our ease. It is extremely likely that the Gentle men in Cadiz, who so stoutly rejected the mediation of- England: whe' they might have had it, are now very desirous to get it, when it is not so' easily to be given. It would not suit the dignity of England to propose her mediation at' the sae desire of the Cot tes, and merely (as Sir Robert Wilson ph ra s es it) " to 'save the honour of the Constitutionalists." The Times, the other day, told us the French Govern. went had applied to England for her mediation in order to help the Duke d"Angouierne out of a hazardous situation—but The Times is always wrong : and so it proves in the present case. However, the speculations of The Times and 7'he Courier leave things exactly where they were. The violent Revolutionists at Cadiz will 'he obliged to submit without a mediation ; and we yet trust that' the result will be to Spain a better and freeer Government than she has ever possessed.. Many years must elapse before that country can- resume its ancient rank among the European Powers; yet with a wise and orderly system her natural resources may he so cultivated as to insure her much comfort and respectability. The prices of the French Funds continue to indi. cate a successful state of affairs.—Some of our Cotemporaries affect to throw a doubt upon the Telegraphic Dispatch, announcing the sub. mission of Ballasteros to the Regency, by rea son of the Paris Papers of Monday contain ing no additional intelligence upon the subject. The official dispatch could not be received for some days after the fact communicated by Tele graph. Consols yesterday closed at 821. All the Foreign Funds have been affected, more or less, in common with our own. French Script, after being at 2k, fell to 2k, and closed at 1r Prernium.—Spanish opened at 34f-, and closed at 4.—ln French Rentes nothing has been done. Another failure is announced us having taken place in Paris ; bat the name has net been made known here. 1:13111T1311 Plt The celebratid Carnot is no ri;ore. This stern and unyielding republican died at the advanced age of seventy, at Magdeburgh, within the ter ritories of Prussia, where he found refuge since 1815, as one of those proscribed by the Royalist Chamber of Deputies of that day, as having voted for the death of tho. unfortunate Louis X Vl. Carnot was one of the most extraordinary men of his time. Alternately ‘Var Minister and one of the lxecutiVe Directory, whether in the War Bureaux or the Tuileries, he never laid the plainness of republican simpli city aside. In that respect he resembled the celebrated Roland. A member of the Com mittee of Safety in 1794, with the sanguinary triumvirate of Robespierre, Corthin, and St. Just, and in communication with the Ministers Collot, Carriere, and Le Bon, Carnot never meddled in the bloody trade of proscription ; he was un stained with the human gore that then flowed in torrents through France, and, with his coadjutor, Robert Linciet, confined himself solely to the la bours of his office. Under his administration, the plans of conquest suggested during the reigns of Louis XI V. and XV. were taken from the ar chives, where they slept, and carried into prompt execution; 700,000 men appeared on the fron tiers in arms, as Republican defenders of resus citated France ; and, in the inflated language of the eloquent Barriere, Carnet " organized victory and rendered her permanent." Ile subsequently saw the feeble Directory and Republic over thrown by the ambition of an individual, backed by military force, while the cold and metaphy sical Sieyes, with Barras, pandered to the power of the youthful and aspiring victor, who returned from the plains of Egypt to crush the struggling liberties of France. During Buonaparte's career as First Consul, and Consul for life, and his sub sequent usurpation of the Imperial dignity, Car not remained in retirement: He emerged from it when the tide of misfortune began to roll heavily on the falling Napoleon and France ; the stern repub lican then offered his services in the hour of danger. Ile was accepted by a man by whom merit was never yet rejected, and Antwerp was committed to his charge. The ability with which he de fended that important post, until the recal of the Bourbons, is fresh in the memory of all. On the return of Napoleon from Elba, he was again ap pointed War Minister, and stooped to accept the title of a Count. The appellation suited badly with the name of Carnot ; it added nothing to his escutcheon. Tire memory of this short cam paign is too' fresh in the recollection of our readers to bear repetition; it was far dif ferent from the glorious and successful ef forts of his earlier years. The return of the Bourbons again brought exile and poverty to Carnot. Be addressed one or two able and powerful remonstrances to Louis on the policy then pursuing ; but the advice of Carnot was re jected, and he retired when proscribed, first to Warsaw, where old Louis had found a refuge only a few years before; and on the invitation of Frederick, then came to Nlagdeborgh, where he died. His name will be long remembered in France, it is inseparably connected with a period of her brightest glory and renown, and uncon nected with any portion of her subsequent sla very or disgrace. [MORNING HERALD.] With the most vigilant distrust of the accounts transmitted through French channels from Spai ni and the best disposition to find reasonable grounds to hope that the Spaniards may succeed, it is ire• possible not to view the present appearances very despoil d ing y 'The pa defection as a of rumour ßa in the l las teros which was stated in omme ye rst in. stance, several days since, has been placed beyond Ddotlubbattsbwyrtthivpe possible l c; a d t i of the Ju have he may merely re signed the command. But this is an equally unfa. n C ot or li zit h t t e a d d as es ß pa a i l r la o st f e i r l o ie s i v s o u w r i a t b h, l e t h c e i r r c e u v m o l s u t a t i r o w n e y . cause could induce him to retire.—llls• safety must have been in remaining at his post if the game were not desperately against him.—lt may be said that lie was bought over, and the unprin cipled conduct of the other Generals who have deserted or fled, renders this supposition not unreasonable ; but still, it requires something more than two or three signal examples of base. ness in a nation, to adopt the presumption that any great General has proved a traitor when put to the test. Foreigners and 'Spaniards have given Ballasteros a high character for manly and military virtues. Ile has hitherto been un stained and unsuspected. lias he all at once re. signed himself to the last degree of turpitude ? Abishal was already known as an intriguing, un principled, but clever adventurer. The attach ment of Morillo to the Cortes and the Constitu tion was suspected. Sarsfield was a mere nullity. Time examples of these men, therefore, nre not ap plicable to Ballasteros, and we repeat our appre !tension that his abandonment of the cause of Spa nish freedom is to be ascribed to hopelessness of success. It is true, on the other side, thnt the Cortes at Cadiz hold out with a degree of un compromising obstinacy which would imply a confidence in their means of resistance, and the disposition of the Duke of Angouleme to nego tiate is repeated from so many sources that it can hardly be doubted. It is even said that he is dis posed to treat on more moderate and liberal terms—liberal in every sense of that word— n tha the imbecil e f ury o f the Madrid Regency, or even the general spirit of the French Ultras would induce one to suppose. Some recent ac counts from Spain represent the puppets first mentioned as having got into the hands of another prompter and manceuvrer than the Duke of Angou !erne, viz. time Russian Minister at Madrid. 'This was stated in substance in a letter from M ad rid, which appeared in the herald some days since. In fact, it would appear as if the continuance of the war in Spain was attmihutable only to the evil influence of Russia. Their Highnesses the Re g e nts , however, though ready to be played u: u mo a t r i t , er a s nd prompted by the Russian Minister, thought they might be more safe at the head for their this they sought a double object—security of th e ' Duke of Angouleme. By Persons, and a real or seeming share in the Councils of the a breech, tch g and the per haps als o the opportunity pro ceedings o f th e D uke o f A ngo ul e m e more clos e ly. But they were dis a pp o inted. lie refused them per mission to acc om p any hi m , and left them to devour of w atchin g their spleen at Madrid under the protection of rather a slender force. It would appear from the rench Papers that• he had little or no COMMitIll• ration with them—and• even the State Papers of the Regency no longer figure so frequently and conspicuously in the Paris journals. The same feud which seems to divide the French and their friends of the Faith in Spain, appears also to divide the French Ministry at Paris. There is a schism among the Ultra, or, as they call themselves, the Mo narchical Journals. One party—that of Viltele and Chateaubriand, affects moderation—whilst the fanatical or highflying Royalists will have nothing short of death to every thing revolutionary. But how is this to be effected ? For the fanatics confess that extraordinary means must be em ployed to make their cause triumph. By call ing in foreign aid to France and Spain. The principle upon which the French and the Re gents in Spain, and the Royalists in Paris seem to split, is this calling in of the Rus sians—most , likely it is the secret under standing that the Emperor Alexander is " no thing loath" to interfere, that makes his friends in Paris and Madrid more confident and dar ing, than their weakness would otherwise jus tify. Finally, it is said, as we observed above, that the Duke of Angouleme is really disposed to negociate. But if it be true that the French Government rejects the mediation of England, whilst the Cortes insist upon her guarantee, negociation can turn to no useful purpose.— France, it is said,• rejects the mediation of England, in pursuance of a Note of M. de Montmorency at Verona.—But this Minister has long since retired from office, because his pledges to Russia had not been fulfilled.— There ;8 1 therefore, no obligation of consistency in the case. It is known that this Ministe returned to Paris from Verona, full charged with ti: designs of the Emperor of Russia ; and it is not unlikely that Russian influence at Paris, and not any regard for the forgotten Montmorency, shuts out England from mediating between France and Spain.—lt is, we understand, a common ex pression at Paris, that the two parties really in terested in the Spanish war, are England and Russia. RAW COTTON A REMEDY You BURNS AND SCALD9.---The Baltimore medical and philoso phical Lyceum contains an account of an acciden tal discovery of this virtue in cotton by the wife of Captain R-, who, in a frigate, caught ap a large bundle of cotton, and applied it over the whole of the scalded parts of a beloved child, upon whom a large kettle of boiling water had fallen while she was standing before a kitchen fire. Soon after this, the tortured and screaming infant became perfectly quiet, and fell into a gentle and easy slumber. The cotton was suf fered to remain on several hours, and when it was removed, there was not the least appearnnse of inflammation remaining. Several other per sons, who at first had no faith in this remedy, have also tried it in similar cases; it is likewise supposed to have some efficacy in removing rheu matic pains. A few days since a penny of William the Con queror was dug up in the Friars in this city. On the obverse is a full-faced bust extending to the edge of the coin, and crowned with an arch ed crown ; the right band holding a sceptre is placed upon the left breast. Round the head is the legend rit.w.st REX (r was the Saxon w). The reverse has a single cross extending nearly to the inner circle, with an amulet in every quar ter, each amulet containing one of these letters, P. A. X. S. The whole is surrounded with the in scription 1 P,CLPINE ON PINT. Near the same spot was found a London penny of Edward 1. On the obverse the head extends only to the inner circle—is full-faced, and crowned with an ope n crown of three fleurs-de-lis. The epigraph is Lnw. n. ANGL. DNS. 11 YR. The reveise is a single broad cross, extended to the outer edge, with three pellets in each quarter, and circum scribed with ►he words ctvrrAs LONDON.--(Os ford Herald.) D►towNrxa.--Yesterday afternoon a reepect able youth employed at Mr. ACKERMANN% Re pository, in the Strand, named Christopher Cliff, while bathing in the river near Waterloo Bridge, unfortunately sunk into a deep hole, and was drowned. The accident being observed by se veral persons, the drags were instantly put in requisition, which very soon caught he body, and it was conveyed to the Spotted Dog, in Strand lane ; two medical gentlemen were sent for, who promptly arrived with their apparatus, &r. which they used with the utmost perseverance for up wards of an hour and a half, but without the slightest success, the spark of life being totally extinct. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday morn ing, the 6th inst. at two o'clock, J. Hopkins, Esq. of Cottage-terrace, Dublin, was discovered in his bed-chamber actually in a blaze. It ap pears that the unfortunate gentleman, had been reading in bed ; and it is supposed that the candle had communicated with the sleeve of his shirt. Ile was found on the floor, scorched in a terrible manner, and although medical aid was instantly procured, all efforts to save his life proved un availing ; he lingered till yesterday (Thursday, the 7th inst.) about two o'clock, when he ex pired. Mr. Hopkins was advanced in years, and of tho most amiable and prepossessing manners. His death, under any circumstances, would have been a source of deep regret to his numerous friends and acquaintances.--( Dublin Freeman's Journal.) A poor industrious woman of the name of Scully; living in Green-court, Tooley-street, in the Borough, on Thursday last lost a fine little girl of four years of age, who had either strayed or been taken away. Up to Saturday morning last, the anxious search of the agitated parent was unavailing in the recovery of her lost child, of whom she could get no tidings whatever ; when, being persuaded to issue hand-bills, she scraped together sufficient money for the purpose, and went out to get them printed ; on her return, the ill-starred woman learned that tier sole remaining child, an infant of two years old, whom she bad left in the care of an acquaint 1111CV, bud, during her absence, fallen into a tub of boiling water lea upon the floor, and been taken to Guy's Hospital, dreadfully scalded, and where it died on Monday morning at eight o'clock. The other child has not yet been found. TREAD-MILL IN IRELAND. The following is extracted from the Parlia• mentary Report for 1823, of the Inspector-Ge neral of Prisons in Ireland :-- " We have an immediate prospect of the esta blishment of the tread-mill in many of the gaols of Ireland. It may be applied, on a small scale, for the purpose of supplying water: and on a larger one, to the grinding of meal for the consump-* tion of the prison. Some smaller wheels are already in operation, and larger ones are in ope ration in several of the counties. We are sorry to find that a question had arisen, whether the exercise of the tread-mill is of such a nature as to prove injurious, in some instances, to the health of the prisoners employed. But this objection has been to us most satisfactorily over-ruled, upon the opinion of some of the most eminent mod ical audio. rities in this kingdom,who haveentered into the de-. tails of the case, and proved in the clearest manner that these injurious effects are attributed to the lee hour in the tread-mill wholly without reason. — The inquiry will, we trust, remove from the public mind any prejudice which may have been excited against the adoption of a measure in our prisons from which the most advantageous results are anticipated, and of the good effects of which past experience has placed before us the most unquestionable proofs. The tread-mill has proved to be not only a power applicable to almost every description of work, but a certain means (even in the failure of every species of manufacture) of affording steady employment to the prisoners ; and a description of labour, which, although moderately severe, is yet of so interesting and constant a nature, as to have become a terror to those who are committed to prison ; and conse quently a check to the commission of crime." INQUEST UPON MARY ROWLEY, RESUMED. Yesterday afternoon, the adjourned Inquest was held at the Golden Lion, King-street, St. James's, before Tues. Areas, Esq., Coroner, on thebody of Mary Rowley. .Mr. Thomas Rose, of Park-place, St. James's, s urgeon , deposed, that on ex am i n in g th e b o dy f the deceased, he found the right thigh and leg considerably swollen, which he con sider+ed the result of erysipelous inflammation. 'There was not the slightest appearance to warrant an opinion that the deceas ed had received any injury, which could directly cause thq death of the deceased. The Jury retired for nearly a quarter of an hour, and being unable to come to a decision, returned, informing the Coroner they wished further witnesses to be called. The CORONA informed them, that Dr. Armstrong, of the Fever Tnstitution, was present, and had viewed the body. Doctor Armstrong said, before he gave evidence, he wished to examine thibrain of the deceased, and retired for that purpose. Rebecca Deacon, of Angel-court, said she lived opposite the house of the deceased. Last Friday week the windows of the . two houses were open, and witness observed Mary Burns drag the deceased into the second floor room by a handkerchief which was round her neck. They were separated by the husband of the deceased, and Burns went into the court. Site there said, " If it had not been for her husband she should have been the death of her, and she would yet." Dr. Armstrong returned, and said it was his opinion that the death of thc,deceased had been caused by fever. The state of the brain was of itself quite sufficient to account for her death. The thigh might have been predisposed to infiamma-, inflammation. The unhealthy a tmos p here which she breathed blows th she of h t a i i l i e r d ec ece ei a y s t; b did u i t u h n e a w ri a s s e inclined to think that the death of the deceased did not arise from local might have produced her fever, as might several other causes. Under the peculiar circumstances of the case, he could not determine whether the fever was the immediate result of lo cal inflammation, or the effect of atmosphere, or general causes. The Jury once more retired, and in about twenty minutes returned. The Foreman then said, it was the opinion of the Jury. that time deceased died of fever, produced by blows received from Mary Burns. Time Coroner suggested, that before the Jury returned so se rious a verdict they bad better hear further evidence. Eleanor Griffin was employed by the parish to nurse the de ceased. The deceased considered herself injured by Mary Burns, and wished to be righted; she frequently asserted that Burns was the cause of her death. At eleven o'clock on Sun day night, the deceased imputed the cause of her death to . Burns ; and expired about half an hour afterwards. Deceased was perfectly sensible up to time moment of her death ; she on no occasion was li ' ht-headed . immediate to the causew wording in of g death, ofrhe ght-headetl t was the j A considerable discussion took place betw ee n th e Jury and. the Coroner. It was stated by a Juryman that the professi o n a l g e the n t b l e e inneefint couldof theirn o saytd od o ub t s, s h , a and objected therefore they could not alter their ve r di c t. The Coroner suggested th a t th e accuse d was entitled to verdict. A Juryman observed, that they had no evidence as to the be ginning of the quarrel, and pressed the Coroner to receive the verdict; they had no evidence as to its being manslaughter or murder. Notwithstanding the objections the above verdict was re. corded. LIVERPOOL...-.. Great increase of Trade.—A.
