CORN-EXCHANGE. Last week's supplies of all descriptions of Corn were -moderate, and the quantities fresh up this morning are not considerable. The late wet weather has made our I, oyers more eager to go into stock, and sales to a consi derable extent were made during the past week. The ad vance of the prices of Wheat since this day ae'nnight is to Ss. per quarter, but the buyers not being so eager the trade has rather slackened. Barley is again 18, per quarter higher. Beans and Pease likewise may each be stated Is. per quarter dearer than last Monday. There is a fair trade fur Oats, at an advance of Is. per quarter on ordinary, and 2s. on fair parcels. The top Price of Flour is not yet advanced, and an alteration is therefore now become doubtfnl, as the weather has the appearance of becoming more favourable.

In charging the Grand Jury thed.earned Sergeant congratulated them on the absence of crime in their ancient and loyal town, there being PO prisoner for trial, a thing almost without pre cedent. The calendar for the county is also unusually light, only 16 prisoners being for trial. There arc two cases of rape and ravishment, and, what is rather singular, a female for horse-stealing. The business on the civil side is expected to be lwavy. OXFORD CIRCUIT.-STAFFORD, JULY 26. HO SE-STEALING. --CONJUGAL _AFFECTION.— JOh.fri Rovh was indicted for feloniously stealing, on the Bth of May last, a bay gelding, the property of the Rev. Alf 2 x, Buchanan, of Hales, in this county. Mr. Edwards, a farmer, in whose house the prisoner resided, stated, that the prisoner brought the pony - in question to an outhouse of his, on the evening of the Bth of May. The witness interrogated the prison.?r, who said that lie had bought it at some place where two towns joined, but he could not recollect the name. Afterwards he said that he had bought it of a neighbouring farmer ; but he could not recollect the name. The witness suspect ing all was not right, said he would give the prisoner five shillings if he would shew him the place and person at which and from whom he had purchased the pony. The prisoner then said, " Give me the five shillings first, and then I will fetch the man I bought him of." Witness de clined this, and immediately got a 'warrant and bad the prisoner taken into custody. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, could, say nothing, burst into tears, and sobbed aloud. Mr. Edwards, the main witness, then stepped forward and said he believel the poor prisoner was very much ill treated by his wife. The prisoner had worked for the witness during many years, and lie always considered him an inoffensive nun. His wife had said, to witness's know ledge, on the night of the robbery, " If .he did nut fetch a horse home she would poison him the next morning." When he was taken into custody she shouted out, " Aye, it is not the first horse as he has stole." The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, buit recommended him to mercy on account of his wife's character.—Death. Joshua Vipers was indicted for assaulting Thomas Richard Ayres, of Lane-Delf, in this county, putting him in fear, and taking from his person, and against his will, a waistcoat and a silk handkerchief, his property, value six shillings. Ayres, the prosecutor, a meagre looking person, about 25 years of age, and with an impediment in .his speech, stated, that on the 2d of May last he was at• the Eagle public-house at Lane-end ;he left that public:-house be tween eleven and twelve o'clock at night; the prisoner was standing by a coach-house door, and he said to wit ness, "holloa, where are you going?" Witness said, " any where but home." " Come along with the then," said he, and I followed him until he came near the lime kiln. There was a waggon standing there for carrying stones, and he said, " shall us go in and lay ns down?" I said, " with all my heart." We lay down together, and after a hit he got out; then came back again and ordered me to deliver my money, or else he would murder me. I said I had not any, and he said Thad; and lie said, " sarch. Where is..your watch?" "My watch-pocket is so-ed up," says Oi. Says he, " I have a noifc, and I'll coot ye throo." Says I, " Doantee, Jos. Take any thing and all I hoc, but dunnu kill me." He then cotch hold of owl silk handkerchief. He said lie would hoe thot, and 1 untold it and gave it hum. He then said, " Dom thee eyes, strip off your coat and waistcoat, or Oi'll murder thee." I then gin bins my waistcoat too.. The prisoner, when called - upon for his defence, denied the robbers•, and said that he had witnesses to his character. Abraham Williams said lie was a squeezer, and the pri soner was an honest man. Mr. Baron VA UGHAN—Wh at is a squeezer? Mr. C. Pitit.mrs—Aye, what is a squeezer ? An Amicus Curia stated, that it meant a person who squeezed clay in the potteries. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and sentence of. Death was recorded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WINCHESTER RACES.

JOHN H AIkIPDEN. Narrative of the disinterment of the body of John Hamp den, Esq., (commonly called the " Patriot") in Hamp den church, Bucks, on the 21st of July, 1828, to ascertain the cause of his death ; some historians sup posing that he was wounded in the shoulder by a shot from the enemy at the battle of Chalgrare-field (June, 1643) ; ethers supposing that he was killed by the bursting of his own pistol, with which his son-in-law, Sir Robert Pye, had presented him. Present on the occasien.—The Right Hon. Lord Nugent, Counsellor Denman, the Rev. Mr. Brookes, Mr. Heron, Mr. Grace, (steward to the Earl of Buckinghamshire), George Coventry, six other young gentlemen, with whose names I was not acquainted, twelve grave-diggers and as sistants, with the clerk of the parish. The manner in which Mr. Hampden met his death had long been a disputed point in history. Lord Clarendon, Rushworth, Ludlow, Noble, and others, severally state that at the battle of Chalgrave-field he was mortally wounded in the shoulder by a musket-ball, that he lingered fur several days, and expired in great agony. Lord Clarendon says, that Hampden " being sli(A into the shoulder with a brace of bullets, which broke the bone, within three weeks after died with extraordinary pain, to as great a consternation of all that party as if their whole army had been defeated or cut off." Sir Philip Warwick states that " Mr. Hampden received a hurt in his shoulder, whereof he died in three or four days after; for his blood in his temper was acrimonius, as the scurfe commonly on his face showed." In another place he observes, " One of the prisoners taken in the action said, that he was confident Mr. Hampden was hurt ; for he saw him, contrary to his usual custom, ride ofi• the field, before the action was finished, his head hanging down and his hands leaning upon his horse's neck." What reliance can we place upon historians, when we see such contradictory statements ? Lord Clarendon says, he lingered near three weeks*—Sir P. Warwick, that he died in three or four days ; the former, that two bullets broke the shoulder-bone—the latter that he was only hurt in the shoulder. But the following is the most contra. dictory statement of all, equally worthy of credit, perhaps more so, as it was related by Sir Robert Pye, who married Hampden's eldest daughter : " Two of the Harleys, and one of the Foleys, being at supper with Sir Robert Pye, at Farringdon-house, Herb, in their way to Herefordshire, Sir Robert Pye related the account of Hampden's death as follows : " That at the action of Chalgrave-field, his pistol burst, and shattered his hand in a terrible manner. He, how ever, rode off, and got to his quarters; but finding the wound mortal, he sent for Sir Robert Pye, then a Colonel in the Parliament army, and who had married his eldest daughter, and told him, that he looked on him as in some degree accessory to his death, as the pistols were a present from him. Sir Robert assured him, that he bought them in Paris, of an eminent maker, and had proved them him self. It appeared, on examining the other pistol, that it was loaded to the murzle with several supernumerary charges, owing to the carelessness of a servant, who was ordered to see the pistols were loaded every morning, which he did without drawing the former charge."—From Lord Oxford's Papers. In order to ascertain the real facts, application was made by Lord Nugent to the Earl of Buckinghamshire, (to whom the family estates have descended), that the coffin might be opened, and the body examined. The. Earl, after due consideration, granted the request, which, was confirmed by the rector, who politely tendered his assistance to further the inquiry. It is remarkable, that so distinguished and opulent a family as that of Hampden should never have possessed a pxivate vault, for the interment of the respective branches of the family ;—such, however, is not the case ; they have, from a very early period, been buried in the chancel of the church, about four feet deep. On the morning of the list of July, we all assembled in the church, and commenced the operation of opening the ground. After examining the Initials and dates on several leaden coffins, we came to the one in question, the plate of which was so corroded,that it crumbled and broke into small pieces on touching it. It was therefore impossible to ascertain the name of the individual that it contained. The coffin had originally been enclosed in wood, covered with velvet, a small portion only of which was apparent, near the bottom at the left side, which was not the case with those of a later date, where the initials were very dis tinct, and the lead more perfect and fresher in appearance. The register stated, that Hampden Wall interred on the 25th day of June, 1643, an old document, still i❑ exist ence, gives a curious and full account of the grand proces sion on the occasion ; we were, therefore, pretty confident that this must be the one in question, having carefully exa mined all the others in succession. It was lying under the western window, near the tablet erected by him, when living, to the memory of his beloved wife, whose virtues lie extols in the most affectionate lan guage. Without positive proof, it was reasonable to sup pose that he would be interred near his adored partner, and this being found at her feet, it was unanimously agreed that the lid should be cut open to ascertain the fact, which proved afterwards that we were not mistaken. - The parish plumber descended, and commenced cutting across the coffin, then longitudinally, until the whole was sufficiently loosened to roll back, in order to lift off the wooden lid beneath, which was found in such good pre servation, that it came off nearly entire. Beneath this was another lid of the same material, which was raised without materially giving way. The coffin had originally been filled up with saw-dust, which was found undisturbed, except the centre, where the abdomen had fallen in. The saw-dust was then removed, and the process of examination commenced. Silence reigned. Not a whisper or breath was heard. Each stood on the tiptoe of expectation, awaiting the result as to what appearance the face would present when divested of its covering. Lord Nugent descended into the grave, and first re moved the outer cloth, which was firmly wrapped round the body—then the second, and a third—such care having been extended to preserve the body from the worm of cor ruption. Here a very singular scene presented itself. No regular features were apparent, although the face retained a death like whiteness, and showed the various windings of the blood vessels beneath the skin. The upper row of teeth were perfect, and those that remained in the under jaw, on being taken out and examined, were quite sound. A little beard remained on the lower part of the chin, and the whiskers were strong, and somewhat lighter than his hair, which was a full auburn brown. The upper part of the bridge of the nose still remained elevated, the remainder had given way to the pressure of the cloths, which had been firmly bound round the head. The eyes were but slightly sunk in, and were covered with the same white film which characterised the general apptNsiance of the face. Finding that a difference of opinion existed as to the indentation in the left shoulder, where it was supposed he had been wounded, it was unanimously agreed upon to raise up the coffin altogether, and place it in the centre of the church, where a more accurate examination might take place. The coffin was extremely heavy, but by e!cvating one end with . a crow-bar, two strong ropes were adjusted un der either end, and thus drawn up by 12 men in the most careful manner possible. Being placed on a trestle, the first operation was to examine the arms, which nearly retained their original size, and presented a very muscular appearance. On lifting up the right arm, we found that it was die ' possessed of its hand. We might therefore naturally con jecture that it had been amputated, as the hone presented a perfectly flat appearance, as if sawn off by some sharp instrument. On searching under tin. cloths, to our no small astonishment, we found the hrnd or rather a number of small bones enclosed in a separate cloth. For about six inches up the arm the flesh had wasted away, being evidently smaller than the lower part of the left arm, to which the band was very firmly united, and which presented no symptoms of decay further than the two bones of the fore finger loose. Even the nails re mained entire, of which we saw no appearance in the cloth containing the remains of the right hand. At this process of the investigation, we were perfectly satisfied that, independently of the result of any further examination, such a striking coincidence as the loss of the right hand would justify our belief in Sir Robert Pye's statement to the Barleys, that his presentation pistol was the innocent cause of a wound which afterwards proved mortal. It was, however, possible, that at the same mo ment, in the heat of the action at Chalgrave, when Colonel Hampden discharged his pistol at his adversary, that his adversary's ball might wound him in the shoulder ; for be was soon after observed, as stated by Sir Philip Warwick, The battle of Chalgrave-field was fought on the 18th of June, 1643. Hampden died on the 24th, and was buried on the 25th, as stated in the parish register. Sir W. Dugdale mentions several instances where persons of rank were interred the day after their decease. " with his head hanging down, and hie hands leaning upon hi horse's neck." In order to corroborate or disprove the different state ments relative to his having been wounded in the shoulder, a close examination of each took place. The clavicle of the.right shoulder was firmly united to the scapula, nor did there appear any contusion or inden tation that evinced symptoms of any wound ever having been inflicted. The left shoulder, on the contrary, was smaller and sunken in, as if th• clavicle had been displaced. To remove all doubts, it was adjudged necessary to remove the arms, which were amputated with a penknife. The socket of the left arm was perfectly white and healthy, and the clavicle firmly united to the scapula, nor was there the least appearance of contusion or wound. The socket of the right shoulder, on the contrary, was of a brownish cast, and the clavicle being found quite loose and disunited from the scapula, proved that disloca tion had taken place. The bones, however, were quite perfect. Such dislocation, therefore, must have arisen, either from the force of a ball, or front Colonel Hampden having fallen from his horse, when he lost the power of holding the reins by reason of his hand having been so dreadfully shattered. The latter in all probability was the case, as it would be barely possible for a ball to pass through the shoulder without some fracture, either of the clavi"le or scapula. In order to examine the head and hair, the body was raised up and supported with a shovel ; on removing the cloths which adhered firmly to the back of the head, we found the hair in a complete state of preservation. It was a dark auburn colour, and according to the custom of the times was very long,—from five to six inches. It was drawn up and tied round at the top of the head with black thread or silk. The ends had the appearance of having been cut off. On taking hold of the top-knot, it soon gave way, and came off like a wig. Here a singular scene presented itself. The worm of corruption was busily employed, the skull in some places being perfectly bare, whilst in others the skin remained nearly entire, upon which we discovered a number of maggots and small red worms on the feed with great activity. This was the only spot where any symptom of life was apparent, as if the brain contained a vital prin ciple within it, which engendered its own destruction ; otherwise, how can we account, after a lapse of near two centuries, in finding living creatures preying upon the seat of intellect, when they were no where else to be found, in no other part of the body. He was five feet nine inches in height, apparently of great muscular strength, of a vigorous and robust frame; forehead broad and high; the skull altogether well formed, such an one as the imagina tion would conceive capable of great exploits. Here I close the narrative—one of singular interest to those who were eye-witnesses of the examination, which presented a scene so novel, so ghastly, butt at the same time so full of moment, that it will ever prove a memorable event in the short era of our lives. We recalled to mind the virtuous actions of the deceased ; his manly defence against the tyranny of the Star Chamber ; his abandonment of every social and domestic tie for the glori ous cause of freedom; and whilst we gazed upon his re mains remembered, that that voice which was once raised on behalf of his country, had contributed in no small measure to pave the way for the blessings of liberty, which but for his warning, might to this day have been withheld from an enlightened people. *,* As one of the reports of the day, we may mention, thrt it is said Lord Nugent will occupy his leisure during the Parliamentary recess by drawing up an account of the famous Hampden from authentic papers never before pub lished. It is said that the object of the Lord High Admiral's visit to Torbay was to make personal inquiry as to the facility and practicability of erecting a breakwater in that bay. The estimated cost of the proposed under taking is , said to be 40,000/. a year for 28 years..--Ply mouth Journal.

A respectable man of the name of SIDDELL, residing at Birchett, about six miles from this town, was bitten in the finger by a dog, while on a visit at Brigg, in Lincolnshire, about five weeks ago. The symptoms of hydrophobia did not appear until Monday morning last, when the deceased was affected with violent spasms, which continued at internals until death put a period to his suffer ings on the following day. He was perfectly sensible be tween the spasmodic attacks, but at the sight of water, or a dog, was immediately thrown bit° the most terrible con vulsions. The deceased was a ,yythe-maker, and much respected for his industrious haq s. He was forty years of age, and has left a wife and _ a ,x children. —Sheffield anirant. WOOLLEN MANUFACTURERS IN THE Wysr or ENGLANn.—The journeymen weavers of Stroud and its vicinity have turned out to resist a reduction in their wages, and on Monday last about 3,000 of them as sembled at Selsey-hill, when resolutions were passed expres sive of their determination to hold out against the reduced prices. The Cheltenham Chronicle says, that the prin cipal manufacturers in Gloucestershire held a meeting the same day, when the question of high and low wages was discussed, and though the majority was in favour of the late reduction, several of the manufacturers ex. premed their intention to give out works at the old prices. —Leeds Mercury. THE WOOL QUES TION.—It will b© seen from a requisition to the MAYOR, inserted in this paper, and his Worship's notice thereon, that a meeting is ap pointed to be held in this place on Saturday next, for the purpose of receiving the report of the Committee appointed to oppose any additional duty on the importation of foreign wool, and to address thanks to the Noble Lords who supported the manufacturers' cause. The mercantile and manufacturing interests of the West Riding of York shire arc under lasting obligations to the Earl of Haar woon and Lord WitanNcrarrz, for the zeal and intel ligence displayed by those noblemen during the late ar duous inquiry in the Committee of the Lords, and we have no doubt but they will manifest that feeling in a suitable manner at the approaching meeting. Through the perse vering and not very popular exertion of the Earl of HARK. woon and Lord WHARNCLIFFE, in the Committee, the manufacturers obtained a fair hearing, and the impression made by their evidence was such as to render any fur►ther duty on the importation of foreign wool next to impos sible. Though the Duke of WELLINGTON is his late speech hinted some doubts upon the subject, it is gene rally understood that his mind and the minds of Ministers are firmly made up to resist any proposal for an increase of duty, should such proposal be made. To the delegates who at the cost of great personal inconvenience attended in London, many of them twice, to give their evidence, the country is under great obligations—we say the country, for this is by no means a local question, and we will venture to say, notwithstanding the sneers of a few Noble Lords and their minions, that there never was a body of evidence col lected mote consistent and conclusive than that which they exhibited.—Leads Mercury. The Gazette des Tribunaux contains an ex traordinary account of one of the convicts at Rochefort, who was condemned to hard labour for twenty years, for repeated forgeries. The convict's name is Courr ; he is the son of a cabinet-maker, and entered tke army early in life, and obtained some promotion, but quitted it and be came a professed thief, and practised his new avocation under a variety of assumed ckaractera, and with extraor dinary talent. At Nice he passed himself off as a Bishop, and produced a forged Bull of Nomination, on the strength of which he was received with great honour ; and during his stay he ordained 33 priests, and as many deacons and subdeacons. While preaching at Nice, be bestowed his benediction upon the gensd'armes who were sent to arrest him, but who did not recognise him through his disguise. At this place he received a subscription to the amount of eight thousand francs. In the year 1810, he forged for himself a commission of Inspector-General, and drew a great deal of money on pretence of sending it to the army, amusing his Commissary by promising to obtain for him the Order of the Legion of Honour. At Nismes and Mont pelier he drew from the Treasury more than 300,000 francs. After reviewing the troops one day at the latter place, and complimenting the Prefect on the good administration of his district, and promising to obtain for him the Order of the Legion of Honour, he was arrested with twenty-two officers that he had recruited for his staff. A few days after the Prefect, having a large dinner-party, wished to exhibit COLLET, and sent for hint to prison. On coming to the house he was placed in a small kitchen, guarded by two gensd'armes at the door. In a corner he saw a jacket, apron, and cap of the cook's; he put them on, and taking up two dishes, opened the door, passed the gent d'armes without opposition, and made his escape. A reward of ten thousand francs was offered for his apprehension with out effect. He was soon after admitted as a surgeon in the army. His career terminated in 1819, by his convic tion, and sentence to hard labour. He is now 43 years of age, and has still twelve years to serve. MR. HUSKISSON. (From the Manehestcr Guardian.) We feel a high degree of satisfaction in laying before our readers the following documents. Having invariably, to th e best of our abilities, advocated in this journal those measures calculated to remove from trade the many incon venient and antiquated restriction s imposed on it in less enlightened days, which it is the honour of Mr. Huskisson to have originated, we cannot but be gratified at the testi mony borne by the Chamber of Commerce in favour of that gentleman, at a time when his removal from office, and the little prospect there is of his return thereto, gives a character of perfect sincerity and disinterestedne s s to the proceeding. (Copy.) To the Right Hon. William 11usklason, M.P., sze. Manchester Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures, July 16, 1828. Sir,—l have the honour to transmit a vote of thanks from the Directors of this Chamber, expressive of the obligations which they feel that the country is under for the services you have rendered to it, in the important offices of State which you have successively been called upon to fill. Of some of the measures of policy brought forward under your sanction, the Board of Directors has before expressed its favourable opinion, and although, with respect to others, its Members may have occasionally entertained some degree of doubt, they are desirous, on your retirement from office, of conveying to you their honest belief, that the general scope and tendency of those measures as a whole, have been eminently conducive to the welfare of the community at large, and demand from them the expression of their re spect and gratitude. I feel particularly hary in being the organ of commu nicatidn, and in the opportunity thus afforded me of tie dating, individually, my hearty concurrence in the senti ments of my colleagues. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient, very faithful servant, (Signed) GEO. WM. WOOD, President. At a Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Manches ter Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures, held the 16th of July, 1828: George William Wood, Esq., Presi dent, i■ the Chair— _ It was resolved unanimously,--That the thanks of this board be communicated to the Right lion. William Hue kisson, late Secretary of State for the Colonies, for the en lightened, judicious, and valuable services which, whilst a Minister of the Crown, he hat rendered to the commerce of the conntry,—servims which have had for their object the permanent prosperity of the State, and which it is the sincere and deliberate opinion of this board will in their general character and consequences materially promote the true anJ lasting welfare of all classes of his Majesty's subjects. To George William Wood, Esq., &c. Eartham, Petworth, July 20, 1829. Sir,—Yonr letter of the 16th instant, transmitting to me an unanimous resolution of the lioard of Directors of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and Manufac tures, was received by me yesterday. The unexpected honour conferred upon me by this dis tinguished mark of their approbation, is to me personally most gratifying. Greatly, however, as I value so flattering a reward of my endeavours to promote the interests and prosperity of our country, I should very inadequately convey all that I feel on this occasion were I to confine myself to the expression of my individual thanks. In one sense, indeed, except to myself, it may be matter of little moment, that my labour., a.s a late servant of the crown, are viewed so favourably by the board over which you pre side. But i❑ another sense, looking to that board as re presenting the sentiments of the largest manufacturing community in this kingdom, it is, I conceive, highly im portant, upon public grounds, that the system, of com mercial and colonial policy which it has been my official duty to carry into effect, should be stamped with their deliberate sanction and concurrence, as tending in its "general character and consequences materially to promote the true and lasting welfare of all classes of his Majesty's subjects." In thanking you, Sir, for the very handsome manner in which you have conveyed to me the resolution of the board, I have to request that you will take a proper opportunity of tendering to the directors my grateful acknowledgment of the sense which they have been pleased to express of my public conduct, and the assurance, that as a private Member of Parliament, I shall at all times be ready to receive from them any suggestions which they may consider calculated to assist the industry and promote the commerce of this country. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient, faithful servant, (Signed) W. HUSKISSON. BRIGHTON, SUNDAY, Jun- M.—Yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, the Right Hon. William Huskisson, who had arrived the night before from his seat at Eartham, em barked on board the steam packet for Dieppe. The Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Gloucester went on the chain-pier to see him embark. Their Royal Highnesses walked fur a considerable time on the pier with Lady Isabella Thynn► and the Aides-de-camp of the Duke; and the whole of the Royal party were weighed on the weigh ing machine which is kept there. Liston happening to come on the pier at this moment, was familiarly accosted by the Duke of Cambridge, who conversed with him for a considerable time. The crowd of persons following the Royal party was very great. Last night the Brighton Theatre opened for the season, when the Vauxhall vaude ville of the " Statne Lover," in which T. Cook* sustained the principal character, was performed ; and Mrs. W. West and Miss Grant, of Drury-lane, also appeared during the evening. The Duke of Cambridge and Duchess of Gloucester sat in the King's box, and seemed to enjoy highly the amusements. They were warmly cheered by the audience, which was a very full one, both on entering and leaving the box. Their Royal Highnesses looked re markably well. FASHIONABLE CHANGES AND ARRIVALS.

I am aware that the Act does not literally require that such notice sleould be sent ; but every one most me the propriety of taking such pre caution. I believe my brother Aldermen feel that this is due to them. The Lord Mayor and the other Aldermen, with the ex ception of Sir C. Smith, assented to this proposition. Mr. Law.—The applioant for a license under this Act is required to do and perform all that is required of a person who applies for a license for a common alehouse. Let us not, for God's rake, argue the point now. Alderman Woon.—No, no. We shall bear it on the appointed day. Special notice must be sent to the Alder man of the Ward. Mr, Tilton gave notice that he should apply for a license for the proprietor of the Portugal Hotel, in Fleet-street, which had been for some time an hotel to all intents and purposes. Thu Alderman of the Ward (Waithmau) had recommended that a license should be granted ; and, in fait, there existed no objection whatever to the application. A Licensed Victualler said, he believed there was an ob jection upon the part of the Common Council, in the ap prehension that others in the neighbourhood would be injured. The Loin MATei.—" Let it be taken the same day the rest will be considered." Mr. Tilson.—" We have not the slightest objection. The hotel has numerous country customers who lodge in the house." - Mr. Law.—" Me must take great care, as this is to be the first construction of the Act, not to run into any errone ous precedent'. If we give the absurd latitude to the Act which some do, every sort of house may sell wine and gin al they please." The two cases of course stand over. The Lord Bishop of CHESTER was to have held a confirmation to-day at Liverpool, but or Saturday notice of postponement was issued in consequence of the Bishop having been suddenly summoned to London.

SIR HUGH O'DONEL.—WC are authorised to state, that the paragraphs which have appeared in this and other Journals, attributing to Sir Huai O'Dorirt, an attempt on his own life, were founded altogether on mis information.
