Sacarraai—W. C. 31ORGAN. At a Meeting of the Committee of the Association of Shipowners, Brokers, and Merchants, formed to promote the abolition of Light Dues levied on Shipping, held at the offices of the Association is London on the 31st January, 1848; after a lengthened inquiry and a • careful investigation cf the question of the heavy burden of Light Dues on Shipping, and the serious impediments to the Commerce of the country arising therefrom, it was unanimously resolved 1. That the Light-houses of the United Kingdom ought no longer to continue under the management of a self-elected and irresponsible body. 2. That a Central Board, responsible to Government, should be • formed, to which Board the duties now performed by the Trinity House and Scotch and Irish Boards should be transferred, whereby • Uniformity in the management would be effected. 3. That the Debt incurred by the purchase of privileges in private Light-houses, formerly very improperly granted to individuals, Ought never to have been charged upon the Shipping, being a debt for which Shipowners were no more answerable than any other class of the community; and that they ought forthwith to be relieved from that debt, as recommended by the Parliamentary Committee on Light Houses, in 1845. 4. That this Association cordially agrees with the following reso lution of that Committee, " That all expenses for the erection and maintenance of Light-houses, Floating Lights, Buoys, and Beacons • on the coasts of the United Kingdom should henceforth be defrayed out of the public revenue (as the Consular expenses are paid), and that, as the Trinity House has incurred a debt under the authority of the 6 and 7 Willi: 4th, c. 79, in the purchase from private in dividuals of their leases and possession of Light-houses," improperly _granted as aforesaid, " the Government ought to take upon it that debt." 5. That in accordance with the recommendation of that Com mittee, the money now expended out of the Light Dues by the Trinity Board, for pemiens and charitable purposes, without control or responsibility, should cease to be so applied after the lives of the individuals now on their pension list; and that further, in com plianee with the suggestion of the said Committee, a comprehensive measure should be brought forward by Government for the relief, • according to service a.ai merit, of destitute Masters, Mates, and • Seamen of Merchant Vessels. instead of the present system of favour and interest; which answers none of the desirable objscts sought to be attained for so important a class as the seamen of the United Kingdom. 6. That the present system, both in respect to the maintenance of the Lights, and the payment of allowances to superannuated seamen and their families from Light-house dues, has been strongly con shinned by every Parliamentary Committee that has sat upon the whiect, and the increased competition of railways with steamers and sailing vedseis in the coast trade having greatly aggravated the . burden of light dues since the reports of those Committees were laid before Parliament, immediate relief is the more necessary. 7. that no measure which does not embrace the aforesaid objects . can afford satisfaction to the shipowner, or any substantial relief to the shipping interest of the country. 8. That numerous petitions for relief from these abuses and bur • then were presented to the last Parliament, from every considerable port or district in the United Kingom ; and this Committee there . fare resolves that active measures be at once adopted for securing the • roe-operation of the Members of the present Parliament representing those ports and districts. That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to each of her • ,414esty's Ministers, to each Member of Parliament, and be otherwise tier telly circulated. M. FORSTER ,Chairman.

Campbell, Esq. W.S. The extremely depressed circumstances of vast numbers of the community, and the necessity of adopting some effectual means for their improvement, long occupied the minds of the benevolent and philanthropic in Scotland. Apart from the destitution induced by gratuitous criminality, it was evident that much of the distress of the humbler classes arose out of circumstances over which they had little or no control. In aggravation of other evils, indigence conti nually drives numbers of the rural and urban population to occupy pestiferous dwellings where their own health or lives are sacrificed, and whence those of the higher classes also are invaded. Although possessing fields of employment capable of remunerating if properly cultivated, the lll,gliland fishermen and crofters are frequently in destitution, requiring the intervention of public charity to avert actual starvation. Although Scotland boasts a number of charitable institutions, it Possess e d no organization for aiding the industrious to raise them. selves from destitution, or to prevent their falling Into depressed circumstances on the failure of employment, until a number of in fluential and benevolent persons, in September, 1846, determined to act upon the principle successfully carried out in England, of forming a great national institution, which should seek to improve generally the condition of the labouring casses, by various means adapted to that end, and accordingly the l ,Scottish Patriotic ,Society was in stituted. The distinguishing features of this society are, its non-political and non-sectarian character, and its antagonism to pauperising ten dendes—its great objects being, to enable the poor to help them • selves ; to develop the resources of the land, of the sea, and of the colonies ; and to demonstrate how the labour of the otherwise un employed and indigent classes may be applied therein, so as to sup- Port and remunerate themselves, thereby indirectly r elieving aid benefiting the whole community. It must be evident, that if agi 1. cultural and similar societies are useful to the intelligent, the organization of the Patriotic Society is unspeakably more necessary to the uninstructed and destitute. The emergency is great, and the field of exertion a wide one, but experience has already demonstrated, that the efforts of the Patriotic Society are telling effectually where they are so much needed. Hitherto the pecuniary means at its disposal have been too limited to enable it to enter so extensively upon its labours as is necessary, and its promoters confidently make the present appeal for extended Means of usefulness. Every one is more or less directly interested in the success of its attempts to improve the sanatory condition of the humbler classes, and to raise them from mere paupers and con sumers, into the successful and relf-supporting producers of food, as it is impossible f or the Society to effect sanitary Improvements in the d.velllngs of the humbler classes, and Is augment the produce of the country, without benefiting the other classes, who often become the v;ctims of pestilence, and 'naafi without such industrial improvements, sbmit to pay higher prices for food, consequent upon numbers havin u g to be supported in idleness out of the general stock. That the tendency of the means ado pted by the Patriotic Society is to effect these Improvements, is beyond all question, and it solicits the investigation or the intern _ tent community, the principles involved, not being matters of hull& 11.11 U, but lying at the very foundation of national p ros p erit y an d safety. OBJECTS. I. To improve the husbandry of the crofters by the introduction of better methods of cultivation. 11.

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of tke London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, iu order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could lite traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap eointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses. on die nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. it deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vielous habits, whether acquired In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread se frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the roach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, ke forgets that accurate discrimination. i ascertaining the causes of with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inve ridia'ebal;e'NYnth3r characterise lPa. the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse:sloe of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice ter many years is a suerautee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

LANCASTER ( FROSICORRESPONDENT.) REJOICE-'CGS AT PRESTON. This borough, which used to be formerly looked upon as a sort of " pocket borough" for the Derby family, was in a state of gr, at excitement throughout the whole of yesterday (Thurs day). As soon as the news of the defeat of Lord Stanle)'s son for Lancaster arrived the streets were crowded with small knots of politicians, congratulating each calla on the dcath•blow to the Stanley influence in this county. A band of music is now parading the town, and while I asa writing the crowd are huzzaing at the front of the office of the Preston Guardian, the leading Liberal paper here. The result has come like the shock of an earthquake on the Conservatives here, as they never anticipated otherwise 4 than that Mr. Stanley would be returned; and it was thought that having once secured his seat for the county town, there would be a fair chance for his contesting the northern division of the county, which hie father formerly re presented.

Althoue 6 h the Government have not, as yet, given any • intimation as to the extat of the change in the naviga tion laws which they intend submitting to Parliament, bo w pe e ,i ni c ni a o n ni , tss a t alt onfattihi e re v e events, assume, exnattie. from Ministers, the that sgener alchange political li t w i Thence it becomes important to consider whether there be any peculiar grievance affecting the ship owner, even under the present state of the law ; for, if there be, justice imperatively calls for its removal before the introduction of any new measure bearing upon the interests of the merchant navy. The lax imposed upon the shipowners, for the main tenance of light-houses, we proclaim to be a grievance of the most oppressive description. 'Unjust in principle, and harassing in operation, it is, in addition, wasteful, inconsistent, and absurd in application. The ship owner might complain, and justly, that he alone is select ed to bear the cost o f an a d vantage b y w hi c h t h e w h o l e nation is benefited, that he bears this cost to the serious ernbarassment of his honest efib r t s o f i n d us t r y, an d th a t his case is almost an exception amongst the maritime powers of the world ; all this he might possibly have borne, but he catasot, and will not longer tolerate that the hardly-earned fruits of his labour be entrusted to the management, and for the benefit of an irresponsible, self-elected corporation. The ship .owners of this great kingdom are mulcted, that the coffers of the Trinity:House may be filled to overflow iug! Is it to be endured that any corporation should have the power of exacting from an important class of the community a sum of money four times larger than is required for the purpose for which the tax is levied? Out of the sum of 312,0001. exacted by the Trinity House in the year 1845, for the maintenance of light houses only 85,000/. was, in fact, expended upon that object! And when the pillaged shipowner asks, with reasonable. wonde , what became of the enormous stir i- '`Ott, he maYhe`eb` taint With - the preaump r s dictum, of the deputy-master of the Trinity House, who declared to a Committee of the House of Commons, ' that " the light-house rates are as much the property of the corporation as a freehold estate, and that not even. the Parliament has a right to interfere in the manage ment of them." It is idle and prepoverous to answer, that the surplus has been applied to " charitable and other purposes." Why should any self-elected corpora tion have the right of dispensing the charities of the shipowners of England? Why should the shipowner be compelled to pay one single shilling in the blind confi dence that it shall be properly administered? Where is the necessity, wh ere th e propriety of such a compli cated machinery of benevolence? The shipowner, ac knowledging and supporting as he has ever done the sacred claims of charity, refuses to accept the Trinity House as his almoner. Assuredly, even on the supposi tion—we think an untenable one—that the shipowner should be subjected to any tax whatever for the advan tages afforded by light-houses, it is impossible that this age can longer tolerate its administration, as at present, by a board constituted as is the Trinity House. Pat, in reality, the tax of the light dues should be abolissicd totally. The removal of this burdens from a class is ea led for as a further development of that gene ral palmy of relaxation allied), ensures the prosperi:y of the Haire nation; but it is still more imperatively called fur as an act of simple justice—the strongest of all ap peals with Englishmen. It is unjust that the establish ment of light-houses, which, by securing directly the safety of the :lipping, secures thereby the safe trans mission of the nation's property, the nation's commerce, and the nation's wealth, and thus becomes directly a national benefit, should, notwithstanding, be supported at the expense of one particular class. It would be easy to enumerate special circumstances by which this grievance is aggravated; the embarrass ment, for instance, in which it involves the operations of the coastiag trade, already so much crippled by the com petition of railways; the partiality of exempting every other description of vessels from payment of the tax, and imposing it solely upon the merchant navy; the restric tion which fetters commerce in cases wherein the light, dues may exceed the freight; these and many other par ticulars %%hie!' characterise this tax in its operation, might well be urged in support of its abrogation, even were the principle of the tax itself defensible. But the shipowners of England require not to rest their claim for relief upon any such auxiliary support, however strong. They stand upon the broad solid posi tion of just principle— their simple, 'strong appeal is— the tax of the light dues is unjust, and therefore we are entitled to its total abolition. 4 birb Xbition ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) AYLESBURY. The Select Committee appointed to try the merits of the petitio❑ presented against the return of Mr. Deering for Aylesbury met for the first time this afternoon, at one o'cl,ek; Mr. Palmer in the chair. Mr. Alexander, with whom was Mr. Cooke, appeared for the petitioners, and Mr. Hill, Mr. Horace Twiss, and Mr. James for the sitting Member. Mr. H. Twiss took a preliminary objection to the locus standi of the petitioner, which occupied the atten tion of the Committee the whole of the sitting. The petitioner, Mr. Acton Tindal, the solicitor, of Aylesbury, and nephew of the late Chief Justice Tindal, claimed the right to vote as a freeman of the borough, but the Learned Counsel contended that, as Mr. Tindal was not of age at the time of the passing of the Reform Bill, he was not entitled to the right, and therefore the petition ought to be dismissed. The Committee adjourned their decision on this point till Monday, BEWDLEY. The Bewdley Election domaitiee re-assembled at the usual hour this morning; Mr. Wrightson in the chair. Mr. ALEXANDER on the part of the unseated Member, Mr. Ireland, opened the recriminating case against Sir Thomas Winnington, the defeated candidate, stating that ho was in a position to prove bribery, treating, and intimidation against Sir Thomas and his agent. Several witnesses were called, whose evidence con firmed the statement of the Learned Counsel. William Bennett, an elect( r of Bewdley, proved that he got 5/. to go out of the way, and the party who paid the money supplied him with a note of introduction to a gentleman in London, who was to pay him 60/. The Committee then adjourned till eleven o'clock on Monday morning. HARWICH. The Harwich Election Committee re-assembL d at the usual hour this mc.rning; Mr. Sttuact Wortley in the chair. The Committee were engaged the whole of the day in receiving evidence of bribery, treating, and intimida tion. Several witnesses were also examined to prove an agency connexion between the parties bribing, and Mr. Attwood, the bitting Member. Mr. Bail, one of the landlords of the Three Cups Inn, at Harwich, proved that a number of Mr. Attwood's voters were entertained at his house free of expense, and that the bill for these entertainments, which, together with Mr. Attwood's private account, amounted to 811. odd, was paid after the election by one of the Hon. Gen tleman's committee-men, who ordered the entertainments. Robert Davis, the waiter at the Three Cups, prove.l that during the election several voters called to receive money from the committee. Mr. Cottingliam, the agent of Mr. Attwood, at Har wich, proved that none of that gentleman's houses in Harwich were let wiihcut a promise on the part of the tenants to vote for Mr. Attwood. Several tenants had, since the election, been served with notices to quit because they did not vote for Mr. Attwood. The; Committee then adjourned till eleven o'clock on Monday morning. GROSS IMPOsTITRE.—On Saturday last John Daw• son, an able-bodied Irishman, about thirty years of age, was charged at the Glisgow Western District police office with stealing a halfpenny-worth of bread from a bakor's shop in Main street, Anderston. On being brought to the office ho declared that he committed the crime from being out of employment, and consequently in a state of starvation ; but having been minutely searched, there were found on his person six sovereigns, one Irish pound note, one shilling in silver, and 2id. in copper. Brown, on hearing evidence, sentenced the fellow to sixty dap,' imprisonment.— Edinburgh I' itness, TIIE LORD CLIANIBERLAIN AND THE MINOR THEArnE.E. — The I event events in Fiance have formed subjects fur melo-dramas at most of the minor theatres, but the Lord Chamberlain has refused to license these productions. Some of the managers, in order to antici pate rival establishments, have " vamped up" old pieces relative to former revolutions in France; introducing the death of Robespitrre, destruction of the Bastile, &c., with other (to quote the play-bills) " stirring incidents" anti " striking effects." These dramas being already licensed, it is a question whether his Lordship has the power to interdict their performance; but the managers have been officially informed that they will be held responsible in the event of any disturbances occurring at their theatres, arising from any manifestation of popular feeling. At , two of the minor theatres, the mode in Paris is being illustrated by tableaus cleans ; but the lesser s are held equally responsible. It is not perhaps, generally known, that the performance of the melo dramas of Jack Sheppard and Oliver Twist have been interdicted by the Lord Chamberlain. BRIGHTON, MARCH 10.—Orders have just been received for the 16th Lancers to put themselves en 7 oute for Norwich and Ipswich. No regiment has been named to replace them, and it is thought that the deserted Pavilion will be left without a guard. GEORGE CRUIRSHANK.—This veteran artist, whose versatile genius has so plenteously contributed to public amusement and instruction, it is proposed to honour by presenting him with a testimonial ; ard a comm i ttee: including Dr. Bowring, S. C. Hall, Esq., and other authors, artists, and literary men, hold their meetings at 158, Holborn-bill. (From There was no a:lttupt at riot. yesterdey. The town, with the exception of a litdeAlßvllisfifai.J. P ing, has the same appearance as on any Ofher market day. Great numbers of the rioters have been apprehended by the pe:ice. - - About one o'clock in the afternoon a number of indi viduals be g an to assemble on the Green. The Dragoons, however, had scarcely made their appearance when they dispersed in all directions. We do not—at the hour when we write—anticipate any renewal of the outbreak. In the neighbourhood of this city there is a good deal of excitement. In the apprehension of a disturbance, the shopkeepers of Coatbridge had a meetingyesterilay forenoon, in order that they might be sworn in us special constable; and ready to protect their property and preserve the'peace. Since writing the above, we regret to learn that Mr. Alexander, who was shot on Tuesday, in Bridgeton, died yesterday morning, at one o'clock. In addition to the names of those published this morning, as wounded, we learn that a boy, named Campbell, residing in Reid street, Bridgeton, was shot throuzh the body, and is not expected to survive. The body of the woman lying in the police-office has not yet been claimed. The Lord Provost arrived in town yesterday afternoon, by the two o'clock mail, from London. We understand that his Lordship, on hearing the disastrous intelli gence, immediately left . his place in P a rli amen t t o a tt en d to the duties of his civic office. His Lordship during the day attended at the investigations going on before the authorities. A circular was issued to the special constables by Sir James Campbell during the day, which stated that, for the purpose of preserving the peace, the town had, for constabulary purposes, been divided into six .districts, and that the justices would have their head-quarters in the buildings of the Royal Exchange, in order to receive reports from these districts, and to give the necessary directions from time to time, and requesting their at tendance to organize the Local Committee of Justices, to act in concert with the Committee of the Wards in such districts, at eight o'clock in the afternoon. In consequence of an announcement issued b y the magistrates large bodi e s of sp ec i a l cons t a bl es assem bled at their respective head-quarters, and after being marshalled into companies of ono hundred and fifty each, under chosen leaders, commenced to parole their various districts. No -,.manifestittioatlt 4) f.- a disposition Presto. -disturbinneti; Wry.* * were exhibited, and the whole arrangements must be considered merely 'precautionary. Strong picqnets of military were placed in various quarters. In the Royal Exchange a party of about sixty of the Ist Royals were stationed, a large party in the Tontine Reading-room, the out-pensioners in the City Hall, and the Central, Calton, and Gorbals police-officers, and a small party of the 3d Dragoons, occupied part of the Bazaar. The police force patrolled during the whole day in parties, but the city remained perfectly quiet. Frqm information they received, a party of the police proceeded, about two o'clock in the afternoon, to Bridge ton, and succeeded in apprehending two of the ring leaders of the rioters. Their names ere Smith and Andrews. They were captured in a public- house. They were afterwards examined be:ore the sheriff, and re manded for trial. Business has recommenced ; the shops were all open yesterday, and we observe that a number of the lamp glebes which were broken have been replaced. We may safely say that confith nee is once more restored. GLASGOW, FLIDAY, 4 45 P.M.—Glasgow remains perfectly tranquil. Meetings of colliers continued, unaccompanied by violence. We have heard from Dunfermline that all was quiet there yesterday ( Tuesday ).._ PAISLEY. Rumours have been 1:11)at that a riot had occurred in Paisley on Tuesday night. We have learned that the only disturbance that took place resulted from a crowd of boys who had assembled at the Cross, and engaged in throwing squibs, and rolling a barrel up and down the street. A party of police constables were called out, and succeeded in quedit g the riotous proceedings in a very short time. We believe that there are no serious apprehensions of any riot in that district. . AIRDRI E. Reports having born current in town yesterday that disturbances hod broken cut among the colliers sod miners in the vicinity of Airdrie, we made personal the colliers was a numerous meeting of their body, throughn. l,i,e t o h n e ly di t s e t a ri n e i t ies in tati t o h n e o c n ou t r h s e e p o e f rt tl o le r a ter inquiryoo held yesterday at mid- day, in a field between Coat bridge and Airdrie. The object of the meeting was to conLider the grievances under which they allege they labour in regard to a reduction of wages that has re cently taken place. Those assembled were quite peace• able, and nothing like inflammatory language was ussd on the part of any of the speakers. The resolution finally adopted was the appointor, nt of 'a number of de legates to wait upon their employers in the course of evening, and make a proposition of 4s. per day of wages, This deputation is to report to another, and, it is ex pected, a much more numerous meeting, which is to assemble to-night to hear the result. This demand of the colliers, there is every reason to believe, will not be complied with on the part of the employers ; and the subsequent steps that may be taken by the workmen are looked forward to with considerable apprehension, by many of the inhabitants of .Airdrie and Coatbridge. To prevent any attack on property a company of the list Infantry was dispatched from Glasgow to this dis trict ; and last night considerable numbers of the re : spcctable inhabitants were sworn in as special constables. MANCIIES fER. FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FIVE O'CLOCK.—Some rain fell during the night and this morning, which tended to keep within doors any idlers who might otherwise have been disposed to resume their riotous conduct. Up to the present time nothing serious has transpired since last Light. A large body of men assembled at Chorlton Union Workhouse this morning, but they did not ap pear to have any serious intention. A few more win dows have been broken in the course of the day, but no largo assemblages of people have taken place; and the police, being now thoroughly organized, assisted by the special constables, there remains little fear of another outbreak at present. 6 30.—Our city has continued quiet during the night. The magistrates are still sitting for the reception of half hourly reports from the different districts. There is no doubt of the authorities being well prepared for any physical demonstration which may be made by the tur bulent. 8 30.—The city continues tranquil at this hour. Dis turbances are, however, calculated upon, and provided for by the police. REVENGE.—Edward Jarvis, a team-man, in the employ of Mr. Goveh, of the Theft Farm, Cowlinge, on the afternoon of Friday latt having unexpectedly ap proached a valuable pony, as tied up in the nag stable, it slightly kicked the man, who, p os s ess i ng hi mse lf of the broom-handle, got into the manger, and after striking it several times about the head, with apother blow felled it dead upon the spot. The miscreant has since absconded. —Bury and Norwich Post. At Perth, lately, in consequence of some pending dispute IRAween a minister aud his session-elerk, the roll of banns of marriage for seven couple was not proclaimd in church. The marriages cf five which were fixed for the following week bad consequently to be postponed. So much for our Scottish Marriage Law.—Scotch paper. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET MARCH 10.—Our arrivals of grain ate moderate. There is a fair sale of wheat, and an advance of fully is. per quarter readily . Obtained. Barley steady, but it does not go (If freely, Beans as before. Oats and shelling each rather dearer. Other articles withcut alteration.

FRENCH POTATOES.---A vessel has arrived in the River from Nicuport with a cargo of potatoes, the pro duction of France. This supply of French potatoes was destined for Rochester, in Kent, and was consigned to a party there. CONSECRATION or DR. lIAMPDEN.—AII further proceedings F having b een a b an d one d re l at i ve to D r . Hampden 's appointment to the see of Hereford, his Grace the Lord Primate has aprointed the consecration of the right reverend prelate to take place on Sunday the 16th instant, at Lambeth Palace.

Greville, Mr. Panizzi, and Miss Marsden. Mr. Henry Blagrove has been appointed leader of the Ancient Concerts, in the place of the late Mr. Thomas Cooke. DEATH OF ANOTHER GENERAL OFFICER.—We regret to announce the death of another general ofE•er, General Basil Mundy, who expired at his residence, Hcbart-Place, Eaton•rquare, a few days since, after an illness of only forty•eight hours. The Gallant General, who was as much esteemed as he was well known to the united service, entered the army in August, 1795. TUB LATE ARCMII9IIOP of CANTRRBURY.—The stamp duty paid on th© probate of the will of the late Archbishop of Canterbury, was 1,500 L, the personal estate of this venerable prelate having been valued, for that purpose at 120,0001., which is exclusive of free-. holds. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.--Several merchants, shop keepers, and tradesmen waited on the Mayor to-day, at the Sessions House, and were sworn in special con stables. This precautionary measure has been taken the more effectually to preserve peace. About 500 were enrolled to-day. DEATH 01' LORD GEORGE SEYMOUR.—We regret ,to state that Lord George Seymour, after a long illness, died yesterday, .It, Brighton. his Lordship was thirteenth child of the first Marquis of Hertford, and consequently great uncle to the present Marquis. He was born in July, 1763, and was, therefore, in his eighty-fifth year. On Saturday night last, two men, in a respectable position in life, quarrelled over a game of dominoes, in a tavern in Retitleld-street, Glasgow, when the one struck the other a blow on the head or face. The man who had been struck was stunned at the moment, but recovered soon and walked home. He died, how. ever, on Sabbath morning. The assailant has been ap. ,ikprehended. 4 - .4
