L _MAIL TO LIVERPOOL *ADD CT A mettborial was forwarded to the Earl of Lichfield, the Postrnast(T-General, on Thursday last, from the merchants, hankers, and traders of Liverpool, requesting that an addi - 'tional nu:il might be dispatched from London to Liverpool. At the T,resent time the mail arrives in Liverpool from London at half- past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the letters arc deliver e d at half-pas e. Thr: t fiv mail leaves Li verpool again ft nine at night ; and as there is not sufficient time ter;; that many beta veen these hours to prepare answers to the numerous let of the houses in Liverpool daily receive, nor to tat:end to the advices of their correspondents, a whole day is kJ -at, as the answers to those letters cannot be forwarded till 'acne o'clock the next night. So with regard to the arrival sat the mail in London. It arrives in London at a quarter before seven in the evening ; but as it is then too late for ;any persons to attend to business letters, their delivery is delayed till the next morning, and another day by that means is also lost. In the memorial which was transmitted to the Earl of Lichfield, it is proposed to have an extra mail from London to Liverpool, to start at twelve o'clock in the forenoon, and arrive at eight in the morning. This would enable the mec,,Vnts to send answers to the letters brought by the mail on day would b 'the p rev i ous even i ng, and thus one clear would also gi ve the e saved 'in Liverp oo l, an d another in London.

There can be no doubt that such a conveyance would ! well supported by the public, in consequence of the conve nient time at which the mail would start from and arrive at ea ch place.

The averae uration of 'the former was two hours and 40 minutes, and of they atter four hours 30 minutes. The number of Peers at the legislative sit tings amounted only ten times to above 100, and never ex ceeded 112. The average number who voted the laws was 9 53 and, consequently, only six abcve the third required by the standing orders of the Chaeoer to render the vote valid. It was twice necessary to put offgoing to a ballot till the next sitting, because there were not sufficient Peers to make a Chamber Iri the judic;al Courts the number of Peers pre :ltexst always exceeded the half of the 967 members of which . Chamber is ssomposed. At the /commencement of the r :Col' Fiesch;., on the 30th of January, 175 Peers attended, ar ti; eon the lost day, 15th of February, 161 were present.

I did, and held him by the chin while he struck out. I left him standing in the water, and went towards my clothes ; or, leaving him he said, " I shall have a dabble about by myself now." When I had swam about half way towards my clothes, I heard Floyd call out, " Stephe, for God's sake come and save me." I turned, and got to him in about three minutes ; Saville (the deceased) and Shotwater were near him, but within their depths ; I took hold of Floyd round the waist, and while doing so, Saville caught hold of the hair of my head and my right arm, with which I was swimming; ; Shot wa t er a l so caught hold of me, and we all went under together : on rising two of them had let go of me, and I had hold of Shotwater only ; I assisted him a few strokes, and pushed him towards the shore ; I saw the other two, while I was engaged in saving Shotwater, just in the act of sinking ; a peter-boat passed, and I call e d out to a man or, board t o ;i RI, ILE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JUL+ 18, 1536.

These Races will take place on the 3d and 4th of August, under the immediate and distinguished patronage of Lieut.- Colonel Sir W. R. Clayton, Bart., M. P., Captain M. Martyn, 2d Life Guards, and G. H. Dashwood, Esq. A Cup, the gift of Captain M. Martyn, and a Plate, the gift of Sir W. R. Clayton, will be run for ; also, a Galloway Stakes, and a Half-bred Stakes, each day. AQUATICS. The race between the upper-sixes (Eton Collegians) came off on Friday evening. The Thetis was manned by FeHowes, Curry, mm., Wyndham, Rous, Stanley, and Boscawen, Gor don steercr ; and the Britannia by Garnett, Shadwell, Croft, Curry, min., Maunsell, and Forbes, Harding steerer. The boats had a good start, the Britannia first at the Clump; be yond this the Thetis crossed, justled, and took the lead. At Lower Hope the Britannia worked up and shook the rudder of the Thetis, but lost the turn, a lucky miss for her opponent, who got a few yards a-head, and was never after run into, winning by a long distance. Both crews pulled well, and the choice of sides to Garnett might have won him the match. ROWING MATCH AGAINST TIME FROM MARGATE TO LON- Robinson, who lately rowed from London to Gravesend and back, has made another match against time, viz.—To row—in conjunction with a Waterman, double sculls —from Margate Pier to London-bridge in twelve succes sive hours. The match is to come off on or before the last day of September. The distance is about ninety miles ; but this is a secondary consideration compared with the fact that they will have to row nearly five hours out of the twelve against tide. We have not heard the exact amount of odds that Mr. Robinson has taken with the parties who have backed time against him, but at Lyon's Rooms, on Thursday 5 to 1 was offered in favour of time, which was ultimately taken in tens. The friends of Mr. Robinson think he ought to have been satisfied with the reputation he gained in his Gravesend match, and not to risk his laurels in an undertaking which abounds with so much difficulty and danger as to render the successful termination of it, if not impossible, at least extremely doubtful. Mr. Robinson has commenced training for the match, and we presume that Ben Lewis is the waterman chosen to accompany him, as 'we have lately seen them constantly on the river together. Nothing but a dead calm throughout the distance will give them a chance of winning; even then they will find the tide-swell in many parts quite enough to encounter. A steamer and attendant cutters will bo brought into requisition on this occasion. FOOT RACE.—On Tuesday morning a foot race for 201. aside was run between a Windsor forester, known by the name of the Antelope, and the crack St. James's runner. The distance was 200 yards on the road at Hounslow, and the Antelope won by above six yards. Betting was at starting 3to 2 and 2to 1 on ;the Windsor man, who is now ready to make a match with any countryman for the same distance for 501. or 1001. " ho is ' MRS. ARMYTACE ?' "—and " who is the Duchess of Spalding?' " form just now very general (,uestions in the fashionable circles. We must leave it to Yorkshire to decide, and to Mrs. Gore to tell—if she chooses. We consider these the most characteristic sketches that hare fallen from the pen of this lively writer; a tale of such deep domestic interest as " Mrs. Armytagc, or Female Domina tion," it has seldom been our lot to peruse. The poet Carpini once asked his friend Haydn, How it happened that his church music was almost of an animating, and even gay description ?" To this Haydn an swered, " I cannot make it otherwise : I write according to the thoughts which I feel :—when I think upon GOD, ray heart is so full of joy that the notes dance, and leap as it were from my pen: and since GOD has given me a cheerful h ear t, it will enaily be forgiven me th a t I serve him with a cheerful spirit." The Sitabinn ilirrot9 states that the Princess of Beira, who takes the name of Duchess of Anguejas, accom panied by three children, sons of Don Carlos, arrived on the 211th ult. at Salzburg, and will remain some time in that town. The Frankfort .Journal mentions the marriage at Dresden, of M. Aneillon i , Prussian Minister for Foreign Af rah's, to the Marchioness de Vertigneul, Lady in Waiting to the Queen of the Netherlands. The bridegroom isin the 70th Feat' of hits age. It is said that he, will be created a Cotnit in honour of his nuptials.

The object of such Associations is, first, to effect the most complete registration that is practicable of all persons in the Liberal interest, qualified by la*, to'vote at elections of Mem bers of Parliament for Counties ; secondly, to protect the Liberal cause from any illegal registration by the Tories. To effect these important ends on precisely the same plan in all Counties, may, from various local circumstances, be diffi cult ; but, wherever it can be accomplished, a uniform system is extremely desirable. For this purpose, it is recommended that Central, District, and Local Committees should be formed. CENTRAL COMMITTEE. In al Counties, or Divisions of Counties, a Central Com mittee should be formed, with which all District Committees should act in unison. The place of meeting of sucn Central Committee should be the County Town (where there is one in the Division), or the City or Town of the largest population. Every Central Committee should have a Chairman, a De puty Chairman, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. DUTIES OF CENTRAL COMMITTEE. The duties of each Central oOMMitie; will be -Ist. Generally to superintend the entire registration of the County or Division. 2nd. To insure the formation of a District Committee at the most convenient place in each polling district. 3rd. To furnish each District Committee with all legal forms for claims or objections in respect of votes. 4th. To circulate in each district, manuals and other infor mation useful to Electors. sth. To make adequate preparation in the week imme diately following the first Sunday in September, for the ap proaching revision of votes by the Barristers throughout the whole County or Division. An Annual Meeting of the Central Committee and a De putation from each of the District Committees should take place early in the month of Juno ; and such Annual Meeting should be held in the most convenient locality. At such Meetings the necessary arrangements for the Annual registra tion of the Counties may be considered, and planned. A skeleton map of each County or Division should be printed or lithographed by each Central Committee; distinguishing the names and divisions of the parishes ; affixing to each parish a number corresponding with the schedule on the margin of the map ; and leaving columns for the entry of their respcc tive number of voters. DISTRICT COMMITTEES. In each polling district a District Committee should be formed, which should have a Chairman, a Deputy Chairman. a Secretary, and a Treasurer. Each District Committee should form its own fund, restricted to its local objects. DUTIES OF DISTRICT COMMITTEES. The ditties of the District Committees are -Ist. Generally to superintend the registration in their sevcra polling districts. 2d. To ensure throughout the whole of their District the for mation of such Local Committees for one or more parishes, as may be found convenient. 3d. To furnish to each Local Committee legal forms of claim and objection. •tth. To circulate in each District useful manuals for electors. sth. To promote and enforce, by every means in their power Meetings of each Local Committee at the proper times, and for the purposes hereinafter mentioned. 6th.

He bargained to have four for the first halfpenny, eight for the second, sixteen for the third, and so on doubling for each halfpenny to the amount of sixpence. He therefore had 16,350 goseberries for his sixpence. We think our readers willl be of opinion with us, that the green-grocer who made this bargain must have been green indeed, and well entitled to be called a gooseberry fool.

An Arab was lately executed at _Algiers for the mur der of an European. Such an event has :tot occurred for a long time, and the crowd was consequently groat. At half past eleven in the forenoon the prisoner arrived at the en trance to the Faubourg Bab-Azoun, and was conducted to the foot of the scaffold, which consisted of a few planks placed on some uprights. While waiting for the sound of the gun which annomices mid-day, he had sufficient leisure to view the immense concourse of spectators assembled to see him die, and also to gaze upon the mound formed of beach which had fallen as his own was destined to fall. The sun shone with African power, and, combined with the anxiety of the moment to make the. poor wretch thirsty, and he asked for some water. On seeing him drink the crowd expiesssed their surprise, as if they were at a loss to understand how he could feel any want at such a moment. When the gun fired the executioner made a sign to the prisoner to mount the scatfeild, and, when he had knelt down, he stepped behind him, taking care to conceal the weapon with which he was going to strike. His assistant then addressed some words to the Arab, which distracted his atten tion for an instant, and he took advantage of the opportunity ; raised his ?Intaglio'', and in a moment, the prisoner's head re'lled in the dust.—Noniteur Algerien.

Dcouty Sheriff Hammond, while endeavouring: TRAL COMMITTEES, ON APPLICATION TO THE to arrest an offender was, by the above-mentioned yellow fel - REFORM ASSOCIATION, 3, CLEVELAND-ROW , l ow, d e f eate d i n hi s rin,'ent. During the scuffle, the prisoner LONDON; escaped.

RIDGVVAY, Piccadilly, by ii horn lie was committed. While conducting him to geol, accompanied by our constable, Mull, the prisoner drew a knife and plunged it into the conetable's side. Upon witnese sing this, Hammond sprang at the prisoner, who now turned upon him and inflicted a terrible and mortal blow; the point of the knife struck him on the chin, p el esed through his throat, completely severing the jugular vein ; he staggered a few: paces, .and fell dead. The prisoner then fled to a yard or passage way, but being brought to bay by his pursuers, and still re tamping his knife, swore he would kill die first man who at tempted to arrest hint, His pursuers, perCeiving his threat ening manner , b ac k e d out, with the excepeion of one, who seized a ra il, b ro k e it ov er his head, which s -lightly stunned him, but soon recover i ng h e resumed his meat cing attitude, when a p ower f u l an d courageous man, but just aeritt-eikdin rived, seized him upon a ston e , an d h ur l e d i t w i t h herculean force, s r upon the sh ou ld er , an d di s l oca ti n g that limb.

During the lime occupied in the pursuit of the prisoner, the' news of the affray had spread over town, and the crowd around Mr. Hammond's body was joined by his son, an interesting lad about 11 years of age, whose loud and heart-rending - lamenta tions infuriated the already excited spectators. They swore that the murderer should not live another hour. This reso lution once formed, they proceeded to the gaol where the prisoner was confined. Being too strong for the officers, who could not, under existing circumstances, make much resist-. ante, after forcing three doors they reached the cell that con tained the murderer, and led him forth amidst the shouts of the multitude. Some few endeavoured to quell the tumult, but to no purpose. The friends of Mr. Hammond (a nd there were many, for he was universally beloved and resl.'ected), were determined on revenge—a revenge that may st.ann to you unwarrantable, but take the case home to yourself—cem ccive your own brother in the situation of Mr. Hammond, an'd you will find some palliating considerations to abate the horridl character of this transaction. " The mob conducted the murderer to a pasture at the back of the city, with the intention of hanging him up, but some among them cried out, burn him 1' The horrible sugges tion was immediately caught at. The moon had now riser) bright and clear, the evening was calm and beautiful, too fair a night for the appalling spectacle thi't was about to be wit nessed by at least 500 of our most respectable citizens. They chained the murderer to a tree, and the pry arose, ' let the fire be slow I' They piled shavings and rails round bins until they reached the height of about two feel arid a half, a match was applied to the shavings, and the m urderer com menced singing a hymn, which he continued uneil the heat became intense, and then these few half smothered words soaped him, God take my life.' I had pressed forward, anti? I stood in front of the sufferer, I could not clove—it seemed as though some horrid fascination chained me to the spot, and 1 witnessed all his agony. " Never martyr suffered more courageously. Not one sinjle scream escaped him : his chest heaved with the most intense agony, vet all he had said was, ' God take my soul !—God take my life 1' in accents so low that none except those immediately about him could catch the sound. He had been burning about fifteen minutes, when some one said, ' He feels no pain, he is too far gone.' He immediately answered, Y-e-s I d-o f-e-e-1 it I' Never, never can I forget his looks, when with the utmost difficulty he uttered those few words. The fire was so law that his legs and feet were burnt almost to a cinder be fore hie other parts were to any degree affected. The tree to which he was chained was in full blossom, and seemed to smile upon the horrid deed. The horror of that scene can never be effaced from my memory. Imagine a human being chained to a tree—a slow fire blunting around him—the boiling blood in torrents front iis mouth—his legs burnt to a crisp, gushing yet his head moving from ode to side, and occasionally a half uttered groan. But I will mit, I cannot further enlarge upon -kness at my heart, a dizziness a sight so horrible—l feel a sit in my head, occasioned by witne-ing that terrific sight ; but I se was rooted to the spot—l could nos withdraw my eye from the sight before me."
