Comes-street') AN ENTIRE NEW SYSTEM OF THE TEA TRADE COMMENCED on WEDNESDAY, the 15th - instant, on the Premises, No. 81, CUURCH-STREET, LIVERP OL, (OPPOSITE THE LIVER THEATRE,) UNDER MANAGE- MENT OF Messrs. SNOWDON and BROWILOW. AT a period like the present, when abouten Thousand Chests of Spurious Leaves, in imitation of Tea, brought from Bombay and Sincapore, and about Four Thousand Bags of Tea that was wrecked off the Skerries, in the vessel Mary Elizabeth, but picked up from the wreck, brought to this town, washed and kiln-dried, and now in the hands of those Tea Dealers and Grocers who profess to supply the inhabi tants with Genuine Teas, nothing can be more desirable than an opportunity being afforded to Families and Respectable Dealers of PURCHASING THEIR TEAS DIRECT FROM THE IMPORTER. The PROPRIETORS of the NEW TEA ESTABLISHMENT, feeling the importance of this truism, as affecting the inter ests of large classes of the community, and knowing that since the Abolition of the East India Company's Charter in 1829, TEA HAS BEEN IMPORTED INTO LIVERPOOL IN LARGER QUANTITIES than to any other PORT IN THE KINGDOM (London Excepted), without a corresponding advantage to the Consumer, an inducement has been held out to open the present Establish ment, the Proprietors having the fullest confidence that the Patronage of a discerning Public will not be withheld to enable them to carry out their views, when endeavouring TO REFORM THE ABUSES IN THE TEA TRADE, it being their anxious wish and strong determination that ECONOMY SHALL BE COMBINED WITH LUXURY in Supplying the INHABITANTS OF LIVERPOOL AND LANCA SHIRE WITH " REAL" TEA. LIVERPOOL, the second Port in the world, fromits advantages of A DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH CHINA. and the facilities it affords as a market for purchasing stock, it is natural to infer would have hitherto furnished Teas to the public at something like a reasonable profit, or at any rate at a less price than towns more remote from the place of debarcation. Such, however, not being the fact, the ob ject of this establishment is to supply the public with an article which forms a most essential item in the expenses of almost every family, on THE BE VIZ., THE SMALLES sumer, ST POSSIBLE TERMS, ROFIT, from the importer to the con- The Proprietors of the Establishment being intimately connected with one of the first Houses in London, they will be enabled to take advantage of that market as circumstances nly require. CAUTIONING THE PUBLIC AGAINST THE SPU RIOUS MIXTURE OF DRIED LEAVES, which has lately been imported in large quantities, and has found its way into the hands of COUNTRY DEALERS, we beg to inform them our whole time and attention will be devoted to the selection of the two articles Tea and Coffee ; the inferior, and in many instances deleterious, mixtures brought to this country since the abolition of the East India Company's Charter, rendering it highly necessary that all persons engaged in the sale of it should be well experi enced in the tasting and examining of them. THE OVERLAND INDIA MAIL arrived in London on the 4th ultimo, bringing news from China up to May 19th date; and on reading the private letters, we find that Captain Elliot had effected a truce with the Chinese commissioner, thereby enabling our merchants to get about eleven millions of pounds of Tea (equal to three months' supply for this country) shipped, which has caused quite a panic in London Tea market, attended with a fall of about one shilling per pound on all sorts, within the last three weeks, thus making them as low in price as those now on their way to this country cost the merchants importing ; for we find the lowest quality of Congou sold in Canton, at 25 to 27 taels, equal to about Is. sd. of our money. to which must be added at least sd. per lb. for the expenses of ship ping them to England—together making a cost of is. 10d. per lb. for the lowest Congou to the importers. Still we find, that at the London Public Tea Sale of the 7th ultimo, (at which the most of our stock has been purchased.) Congou characterised by the Tea brokers—good middling Tea, blackish leaf, and strong, (which is at least 6d. per lb. better than the lowest quality,) sold at Is. 111 d. to -id. per lb.; and very fine qualities, bearing a character. Superior Tea, strong and full Pekoe flavour, even wiry black leaf, only fetched 2s. 5-Id. per lb., being, as we before stated, as near as possi ble, the present cost to the importer. To the sale prices add the duty, 2s. 2.1 d. per lb., which shows that a really useful family Tea costs us in London 4s. 21d. per lb. and quality as fine as it is our intention t o a d v i se any family to use, 4s. Vid. Having been fortunate enough to lay in our stock during the present extraordinary fall in prices, war rants us in saying we can offer an advantage to the public which no other house in the trade can, for it is a well known fact, that (prior to the last news from China,) nearly every person connected with the Tea trade, and even private speculators believing the Emperor of China had ordered all the Tea in his dominions to be destroyed, bought to a very great extent, at prices one shilling per pound above what they are at In profes to have this great benefit to offer, we do not -sight or wonderful advantages over our rising merely from our arrangements not being so complett, is to enable us to lay in our stock earlier than the Ist ult. At the same time we do not feel too con fident that the present very low prices will continue long, as most of the merchants refuse to submit to so alarming a sacrifice, and we also find by the private India letters, that although Captain Elliot bad effected this truce it was liable to be cancelled by an edict from the Emperor any minute, — in fact our merchants quite expected such would be the case, - - , t troops of Chinese soldiers was encamping near Can ' -t the next advices may inform us of an entire 13ritish Trade;—therefore it is our duty to dies, and large consumers, to purchase freely at prices, they being as low (of good qualities) as r known, and in giving this advice we wish the public ' •- - for their benefit, as the system we into our establishment is to to charge a profit ~ so that should the next news from China cause in advance in the value we shall make a corresponding one. We before stated that useful family Congou cost us (duty '\ in London 4s. 21d. per lb., and really fine qualities 1 . per lb., add Id. per lb. for the carriage here, thus - he costs 4s. 31d. and 4s. 81d., which enables us to at 'prices lower than has been quoted for many and until a change in the market takes place fellow-tradeis. it a ton,—so th stoppage of t to bear in mind i of 3d. per lb months p will he BLACK Sound Breakfast Congou Useful Family Ditto, with strength—recommended ..

Since which (we suppose upon the same principle that duty was allowed to be paid to government upon the four thousand chests of tea that had deen wrecked, then brought to Liverpool, washed, and dried on kilns) government has allowed the free use of it upon payment of a small duty, therefore it is now used with impunity ; and the value of it, duty paid, not being more than ad per lb, o ff ers too great a temptation for the generality of dealers to resist it ; consequently, we advise Families to purchase their Coffee in the berry, thereby en suring a genuine article, assuring them the small outlay of buying a coffee-mill will soon be repaid.

AN APPEAL FOR 'A POOR CURATE•Ni f ARLY BLIND. _ _ SOME friends of the Rev. J. W. Gowrin in considera tion of his very afflicted case having, wi out his know ledge, begun a private subscription in his b alf, it has been determined to bring it before the Chris an public, in the hope that something will be, done, towar s the support of a very able minister of the Church of E and, whose eyesight has completely failed him for most of e duties of his office. For, although he is just able to see is way in walking, he cannot discern the largest print, nor indeed any object what ever distinctly; and it is the opinion of his medical advisers, that the case may even end in total blindness. As his mental and bodily powers remain unimpaired, and as his knowledge of Scripture is considered very extraordi nary by every one who hears him, it is possible that, by and by, he may meet with some occupation in the Church—as a lectureship, where the reading of the Church Service would not be required of him ; and for this kind of duty he would be admirably adapted by his gift of extempore preaching. He was compelled to resign his Curacy, where he was fa voured by many privileges, and surrounded by almost every comfort for four years. He has sought the most eminent advice in the kingdom, and still his sight is becoming gradu ally worse, so that he felt it right no longer to remain in a situation where an assistant curate has been maintained for some time, for the sole purpose of affording him every possi ble means of recovery. He is left without the least means of support, except £7 a-year, arising from sums invested in the Savings' Bank, and except such as may be afforded him by friends. Relations he has none to rely upon, and the little property which he was expecting through his wife will probably be lost to his family by the conduct of an attorney. He closes a statement of his case to the Bishop of Ripon in these words : " I am in my thirty-first year, and have a wife and one child three years old ; and unless the Lord in his good pro vidence should see fit to provide something for our support, I know not what is to become of us, as we have not a single relation who is at'all able to assist us, and the stipend arising from my present curacy will cease in about a fortnight. " The prospect before me is but a melancholy one as to temporal concerns, and yet I feel persuaded that my present affliction is sent by the Lord for some wise but mysterious purpose. In the midst of all my trials my mind is not par ticularly disturbed, as I firmly depend upon the word of Jehovah, ' Trust in the Lord, and do good ; so that thou shalt dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.'

SHOCKING AND MYSTERIOUS MURDER OF A YOUNG LADY, AND WILFUL ATTEMPT TO DESTROY A WHOLE FAMILY BY POISONING. INQUEST ON THE BODY OF THE MURDERED LADY. —On Saturday, an inquest, which had been twice previously ad journed, was resumed at nine o'clock in the forenoon, before Mr. Eagles, one of the coroners for the county of Bedford. at Ridgmont House, the residence of Mr. Crouch, an opulent farmer at Ridgmont, near Ampthill, Bedfordshire, to investi gate the circumstances connected with the death of Miss Mary Anne Crouch, aged 19, his niece, and daughter of Mr. William Crouch, of Chalfont. The, deceased, together with the whole family, had been poisoned, and suspicion alighting on Ann Lee, the cook in the service of Mr. Crouch, who was about to leave her situation, and a male servant,• named George Peppot, they were im mediately, on the circumstances of the case becoming known, apprehended, and Maderwent an examination before the magistrates, and were remanded until the result of the coroner's inquest. The accused persons, Ann Lee and George Peppot, were present in custody during the proceedings, and Mr. Greene, solicitor, of Woburn, was in attendance on behalf of the family of Mr. Crouch ; and Mr. Richards, solicitor, of Ampthill, on the part of the prisoner Ann Lee. Peppot had no adviser. The whole of the evidence which could be procured was, at its conclusion, read over by the coroner, and from which it appears that the circumstances of the case were as follow On the morning of Saturday, the 25th tilt', the cousin of deceased, a young lady, named Dover, who was on a visit to Mr. Crouch's family, at Ridgmont, prepared to make some cakes, as the deceased and other friends were expected also on a visit the following day. The batter being prepared, Miss Dover recollected that she required some yeast; but being unable to procure any, she desired the cook, Ann Lee, to let her have a little soda, which would answer the purpose. The accused, Lee, replied that there was none in the house, but she would send for some. During the absence of a messenger for that purpose, the prisoner Lee cane to Miss Dover, and said she had forgotten she had some ready for use in the spice -box. She went and fetched it, and handed it to Miss Dover, who proceeded to mix it with the batter. The cakes were then placed in tins and baked, and no further notice taken. On the same day the family dined off rump-steaks, partridges, and sago pudding, which were partaken of by the whole of them. During dinner the steaks were noticed to have a peculiar taste, and to be very highly peppered. They were at first too much done for Miss Dover, and an order was given to the cook to send up another steak more underdone : that, however, also had the same peculiar taste. Shortly after dinner the whole of the family was taken very ill, and vomited violently. Medical aid, however, being promptly procured, emetics were admi nistered, and they towards evening got much better. On the following day (Sunday) the deceased, accompanied by a friend, Miss Ann Gazlee, arrived on a visit from Chalfont. They partook of wine, and ate a considerable quantity of the cakes which Miss Dover had made. Miss Gazlee, however, ate the most, and shortly after was seized with violent fits of vomiting, and brought a great deal of her stomach. The deceased, however, was unable to do so, and, notwithstand ing medical aid was called in, she died on the following day. Apost mortem examination of the body was subsequently made, and the contents of deceased's stomach subjected to chemical analysation ; and it was discovered that they were impregnated with a large quantity of arsenic. The remainder of the steaks had been secured by Mr. Crouch, immediately after the discovery of the illness of his family, on the Satur day, and the spice and pepper-box being seized, they were each severally subjected also to the test of analysatiow, as were also the soda and the cakes, the result of which was, that the whole were discovered to be impregnated with the same deadly poison, which the medical men declared to be the cause of the deceased's death. Betsy Galon, the housemaid, deposed to having eaten a small quantity of the batter with which Miss Dover was making the cakes, and being very ill for two or three days afterwards, but was unable to account for the cause of it. Mr. Roberts, a grocer, of Ampthill, proved that the pri soner Peppot, a few days before the occurrence, had purcha sed a quantity of arsenic of him at his shop, saying it was for his master, Mr. Crouch, to destroy the rats with. lie had since, however, ascertained that he had purchased it without the slightest knowledge of his master. The CORONER asked the accused parties if they wished to say anything is the matter? They both declared their inno cence, and Peppot stated that he dined on the remainder of the partridges after they came from the dining-room on the Saturday ; and Lee, the cook, said she ate some of the steaks, and neither of them felt any ill effects from having done so. They could not account for the soda and.pepper being mixed with arsenic. Peppot declared that he bought the arsenic of Mr. Roberts to kill rats, and nothing else ; that he never put it in the cupcoard where the spice or pepper was kept, and that it was all used for the purpose he stated. The CORONER summed up at considerable length, expres sive of regret that there was no distinct evidence to convict any party of having committed the horrible and inhuman crime which had led to the deceas e d' s death. The jury then retired, and, at a late hour, returned the fol lowing verdict—" That the deceased Miss Mary Ann Crouch, on the 27th of September last, died from the effects of poison, in eating a cake in which soda was used instead of yeast, which soda contained arsenic wilfully and maliciously put into the same, by some person or persons unknown for the purpose of destroying life." , The prisoners, it - is understood, will be discharged from !ustody.

THE DUKE OF CLEVELAND.—We hear with sincere regret of the serious illness of his Grace the Duke of Cleveland. " SAM SLICK " IN ABERDEEN.--OUr city has lately been visited by a Sam Slick, who has carried the business of selling clocks to a degree of perfection not known in the trade here tofore. This distinguished artist some time ago got employ ment as a maker of gas meters in an extensive establishment in Aberdeen, where he conducted himself with all propriety. Labour, however, being a thing unsuited to his genius, he contrived to get a German clock "on tick," and with this slender stock he commenced a very thriving business. He first went with it to the barber who was in the habit of shav ing him, and sold the clock for 14s. In the course of two or three days he called again to see if the clock was giving satisfaction, and, on being told that it was going too fast, he inspected it, and said that he could do nothing to remedy the evil without taking it home. The clock was accordingly taken down, and Sam went off with it directly to the office of a limb of the law, and to whom he disposed of it for 255. According to his system of business he called again upon the man of law in the course of a few days, and on inquiring into the clock's behaviour, found that it was going too fast; down comes the clock from the wall, and Sam once more sets off to sell it again. He soon met with a shoemaker, to whom for the third time he sold this famous article. The clock clicked for a day or two in the shoemaker's house, when Sam, like an honourable tradesman, called to see how it was going. Of course he found the clock at the old trick of going too fast, and accordingly he again gets it into his possession, in order to cure this order. In attempting, however, to dispose of it this time he found some difficulties in the way. His victims had begun to make diligent inquiry butafterh their wenh clocks i s adversaries ; the hue h th thought dct they rys• had as h raisedo hold of him,against found that, like his clocks, he bad gone too fast. He is a middle-sized man, black complexioned, and speaks with a foreign accent.—Aberdeen paper. telfl4 HOUSE OF LORDS.—Tnußsn4y.

The Lords Commissioners having taken their seats, the Lord Chancellor read Her Majesty's most gracious speech, The following is a copy : THE QUEEN'S SPEECH My Lords and Gentlemen, " We are commanded by her Majesty to acquaint you that it appears advisable to Her Majesty to bring to a close the present session of parliament " In conformity with the advice of her parliament, and in pursuance of the declared intentions of Her Majesty, Her Majesty has taken the requisite measures for the formation of a new administration, and the arrangements for that pur pose have been completed by Her Majesty. " Gentlemen of the House of Commons, " We have it in command from Her Majesty to thank you for the supplies which you have granted to Her Majesty for those branches of the public service for which complete pro vision had not been made by the late parliament. " The measures which it will be expedient to - adopt for the purpose of equalising the public income and the annual expenditure, and other important objects connected with the trade and commerce of the country, will necessarily occupy your attention at an early period after the recess. " Her Majesty has commanded us to repeat the expression of her deep concern at the distress which has prevailed for a considerable period in some of the principal manufacturing districts, and to assure you that you may rely upon the cor dial concurrence of Her Majesty in all such measures as shall appear, after mature consideration, best calculated to prevent the recurrence of that distress, and to promote the great ob ject of all Her Majesty ' s wishes—the h a ppi ness an d content ment of all her people. ' SECONDARIES' COURT, BASINGHALL-STREET, LONDON, OCTOBER 5 (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER and a Common Jury.) MITFORD V. MOLYNECX.—CRIM. CON. The Solicitor-General end Mr. Butt appeared as counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Chambers for the defendant. The damages were laid at £.:5,000. Mr. Butt opened the pleadings. The plaintiff was Mr. Robert Henry Reveley Mitford, a gentleman of fortune, re siding in Hampshire, and the defendant was the Hon. Francis George Molyneux, youngest son of the late Earl of Sefton. The declaration stated that the defendant had seduced Lady Georgiana Jernima Mitford, who was the wife of the plaintiff, and the daughter of the Earl and Countess Ashburnham. Judgment having been suffered to go by default, it was the province of the jury to access the damages. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, from the short opening of his learned friend the jury were put in possession of the na ture of the inquiry they were about to enter into, and the difficult duty they were called upon to discharge was that of assessing the amount of pecuniary compensation which the plaintiff was entitled to under the circumstances of the case. They knew perfectly well that by the law and practice of the country a party who had sustained the serious injury which the plaintiff in this case had had inflicted on him had no other course left open to him than to bring an action for damages. It was impossible that he could obtain a divorce or guard against a spurious offspring succeeding to his property or es tates without first laying the circumstances of the case, how ever melancholy, before a jury in an action for damages. In the present case there would be no matters arising, and no points on which the jury would have to decide, except the amount of pecuniary compensation which they might deem the plaintiff entitled to. The defendant had not denied the fact of adultery ; he had put no piea on the record ; he had admitted that he had committed adultery with the plaintiff's wife, and it would, in fact, have been idle and useless for him to deny the fact, inasmuch as the jury would see, in the course of the inquiry, that he eloped with Lady Georgiana from the residence of her husband, and that they now lived together as man and wife. It would be for the jury to say, from the circumstances of the case, the facts of which he would state to them shortly, what amount of damages they thought should be awarded to Mr. Mitford. The plaintiff, Mr. Mitford, was a gentleman of family and fortune, and resided in Hampshire. His marriage with the unfortunate lady whose conduct had led to the present in (miry took place in 1828. She was the daughter of the Earl and Countess of Ashburnham. The plaintiff was at this period about 25 years of age, and Lady Georgiana was some where about the same age. The marriage took place with the consent of all the friends of the parties, and under such circumstances as led those friends to expect that it would have been one of much happiness. For many years the ex pectation of those friends were not disappointed; they lived together in perfect happiness and harmony. There were several children born, some of whom, however, unfor tunately died; but there were still living three sons. The plaintiff and Lady Georgiana continued to live thus happily together in England, sometimes in the country, sometimes in London, until the year 1838. In that year Mr. Milford thought it fit, for reasons not necessary for him (the Soli citor-General) to trouble the jury with, but he believed they were economical, that they should go and reside on the continent. Mr. Mitford took a house at Frankfort, and resided there for about two years. On their arrival at Frankfort they found the defendant, the Hon. Mr. Moly neux, with whom they had been previously acquainted in England, filling the office of Secretary of Legation and Charge d'Affaires from the English Court. Mr. Molyneux paid them very great attention, and a previous intimacy was renewed between the defendant and Mr. Mitford and his family, so much so, indeed, that the Hon. Mr. Molvneux was in the constant habit of being at the plaintiff's house, and at his parties. He, in fact, was on terms of the greatest personal friendship with Mr. Mitford and Lady Georgians. They continued to reside in the greatest happiness at Frank fort, and nothing whatever arose to interfere with it until the autumn of 1840. At that time the plaintiff first discovered an estrangement in the affections of his wife, Lady Georgi ans. She was not to him what she had been ; there was a decided difference in her cond uc t, and her husband was not conscious of the cause. He, however, thought it right to re move from Frankfort, and in the early part of 1841 be gave up his house at that place, and took a temporary residence at Wiesbaden, intending to remove from there to Dresden. Shortly after the arrival of Mr. Mitford and his family at Wiesbaden, the plaintiff went off to Dresden for the purpose of looking out for a suitable house there, and whilst absent at the latter place, the defendant, Mr. Molvneux, who was still residing at Frankfort, came over to Wisbaden. The defendant repeated his visit to that place, and on the second occasion, Mr. Mitford being still absent at Dresden, Lady Georgiana said to her servant that her brother was arrived from Canada and was at Frankfort. She added that she was desirous of seeing him, and then directed the servant to pack up her (Lady Georgiana's) things, and she left Wies baden the same evening in company with the defendant, Mr. Molyneux. It turned out that the statement made by Lady Georgiana, the plaintiff's wife, was an untruth, an d th a t s h e had eloped from her husband's roof with his supposed friend, Mr. Mitford, the plaintiff, returned from Dresden the day, or a day or two after, the elopement. Of course it was im possible for him (the Solicitor-General) to describe the distress of a husband's feelings under such painful circum stances. He found his domestic happiness entirely blighted and destroyed, himself abandoned by his wife, and his chil dren deprived of their natural protector. If that parent had been removed by death, there would still have been left the consolation of cherishing the memory and virtues of her who had-departed, but in the present case the feeling was widely different ; it was pure and unmixed misery that had fallen to the lot of a kind and affectionate husband. He (the Soli citor-General) was not aware that be could say anything more than to observe, that he had done his duty without in any way exaggerating the facts of this truly unfortunate case. He would, however, further remark, that during the absence of the plaintiff, Mr. Mitford, at Dresden, the fact of the intimate friendship which was known to exist between the parties enabled Mr. Molyneux, the defendant, to have continual access to Mr. Mitford's hou se' which circumstance had most unfortunately led to what had taken place. He was not in a position to offer any evidence as to the wealth of the defendant. He was the younger son of a noble lord, and was therefore not in possession of the estates of his an cestor, but still he moved in a very high rank in society. His office at Frankfort, as the representative of England, he had relinquished, in consequence, he (the Solicitor-Gene ral) believed, of this unfortunate affair. What he should prove in evidence was exactly what he had stated. His learned friend would no doubt make a very eloquent reply, but he was certain he could not alter the facts of the case. Nothing else would be laid before the jury, for whom it would be to decide the amount of damages to which they considered the plaintiff entitled. It was, as he stated at the outset, a most painful duty for them to consider the amount of pecuniary compensation the plaintiff was entited to under all the distressing circumstances of the case. Evidence was then adduced to prove the happy condition of Mr. and Mrs. Mitford, (prior to the elopement of the latter,) and all the other necessary circumstances of the case. Mr. CHAMBERS then rose and addressed the jury on the part of the defendant in mitigation of damages. He said his learned friend the Solicitor-General had described his task as most painful and difficult ; but his situation could not be so embarrassing as that of a counsel called upon to address them on behalf of a defendant against whom such a charge had been made. He knew that he had to address men of sense, sound judgment, and morality, and knew if he went too far in observations respecting the plaintiff he might thereby ruin his client's case. He had to admit conduct in excusable both in morality and law, and, undoubtedly, a case for damages, as th e f ac t o f the adultery could not be denied. On their verdict might depend the issue whether the conduct and anxious affections of the defendant towards this unfortu nate lady were ultimately to , entitle him to be considered as having made an atonement, were to enable him to restore her to her position in society if possible, and enable her also to atone for her fault by a long life of penitence. If heavy da mages were inflicted this might not be effected. Be trusted they would not allow themselves to be carried away by strong feelings of indignation, that they would not deal out heavy punishment, but give to the plaintiff such a compensation as, under all tha circumstances, the justice of the case required. He took a different view from that which other barristers had taken,for he did not consider that parties in a high station of life, living in splendour, however the feelings might have been hurt by such an occurrence, were entitled to those exemplary damages which a person in humbler circumstances, and whose pecuniary prospects as well as domestic comforts might have been consequently impaired, might demand. It was in comparative poverty, when a husband so bereft felt almost dead to the world, and by which his energies became paralyzed, so that his family might come to want, that large damages should be given. But to a wealthy man compensa tion in money was of no importance. He was quite sure that Mr. Mitford did not require large damages, indeed that he would feel indignant if he were told so ; and certainly would not wish to ruin Mr. Molyneux or the woman with whom he (Mr. Mitford) had once been happy. The rank and wealth of the parties would, he trusted, be thrown out of considera tion by the jury in estimati ng t h e amoun t of damages. H e hoped that cases of this description were not without their moral advantages, and that by such examples many respecta ble families might be spared the misery which so frequently resulted from a foreign residence and foreign society, by remaining in England, where domestic comfort and happi ness were better known, and where levity of conduct and laxity of manners were not tolerated as they were among fo reigners, particularly in foreign capitals ; and long might such manners be kept out of British society. Probably he might be allowed to allude to the manner in which Mr. Mitford had so often left his wife. Having discovered that she was not so kind and affectionate as previously, instead of removing her to her native country, and paying her a dditional attention, he had left her on several occasous exposed to the contami nating atmosphere which pervaded foreign society, while he had been visiting England, Paris, and Brussels for his amusement. She had been also left on the last occasion of Mr. Mitford's absence, when he went to Dresden, where he might have taken his lady, instead of which she was left at Wiesbaden, only about forty miles from Frankfort, which was, almost like an invitation to Mr. Molyneux to come and protect his wife in his absence, and it was then that the elopement took place. It was, he contended, under all the circumstances, not a case of such a nature as to call for very heavy damages. The , learned SECONDARY, having commented on the evi dence, said, although it had been asserted that the defendant was a poor man, it had not been proved ; and if it had, a party had no right to commit such an offence, and then say he was a poor man. It was the duty of the jury to give such damages as would fairly meet the justice of the case. The jury then retired, and after about half an bour's ab sence, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, £l,OOO By the Great Western steain.ship we have received paws from New York to the'2sth ult. inclusive, and from Mon- treal to the 22d The Great Western arrived on her outward voyage on the 13th. and the American journals state, that the news brought out by her, together with Sir IL Peel's temperate remarks in allusion to the United States, had entirely dissipated the apprehensions of a war on the M`Lcod question. His trial was expected to come on in a few days, but the precise day was not fixed on. The counsel on both sides had been active in endeavouring to procure evidence, but it was believed there were preparations for a riot in case of his acquittal. The seat of these preparations was said to be the " hunters' lodges." Various opinions as to the result of the trial are expressed by the American journals. The Morning Courier and En quirer entertains no doubt of his acquittal, while, on the other hand, the Herald says, that as the day draws near for the settlement of the M'Leod affair, " the public mind is wrought up to a state of great anxiety, strong sides being taken pro and con.,• many disputes and much bitter feeling being engendered." The choice of the jury from the most respectable aad peace-loving. portion. of the community in the neighbourhood has given great offence to the riotous and disaffected, who have gone so far as to threaten to take M`Leod out of gaol and hang him on the first tree they find. By extracts from M'Kenzie's Gazette, a publication which would have it appear that it is on good terms with, and aware of the state secrets of, Governor Seaward, &c., we find that he is using the greatest exertions to procure a conviction, and, besides calling on all witnesses to come forward, he states that a Dr. Foot and Judge M`Lean can prove that they were at M'Nab's camp at Chippewa on the night the Caroline was burnt, and saw M`Leod go into the boats. Another paper states, that seven respectable witnesses would prove that they saw M`Leod go armed with the others to the attack of the Caroline ; that they saw him land on the return of the boats, being also then armed : and heard him boast of what he had done, and of having killed some Yankees. The proof of his alibi is said to rest on the wife and daughter of a British officer. The new American Cabinet has not been finally organized, the Senate having objected to confirm the names of some of the proposed ministers. The members of the late Cabinet were still occupied in publishing verbose letters on the sub ject of their resignations, which do not, however, possess much interest on this side of the Atlantic. The Congress closed its extra session at a late hour on the 13th. The members of both bodies parted in good spirits, and the personal rencontres and difficulties of the session ap pear to have been healed. The Whig party had published an address which the National Intelligencer describes as being temperate and well prepared, the allusions to the President's course being sufficiently severe, but at the same time appear ing to be written more in sorrow than in anger. On the whole the address is considered one of the most efficient party missiles ever sent forth. Among other matters it suggests a measure for the restriction of the executive in the exercise of the veto. A strong party against the re-election of President Tyler was already organizing, and preparations for the next election had been made thus early. Mr. Clay, it is said, would be set up as a candidate by the bank party. The arrival of the Prince de Joinville in the Belle Poule at New York had excited a great deal of interest. He privately visited the French Ambassador, the Consul-General, and the Russian steam-frigate, and intended to proceed to Washing ton to pay a visit to the President. A letter had been written by the governor of Texas to the governor of Yucatan, fully recognising the independence of the latter, from Mexico. From Canada we learn the death of Lord Sydenham, on the 19th instant, from lock-jaw, brought on by the fracture of his leg. His death took place on the day after the close of the Canadian Parliament ; the speech at the close of which, although delivered by the Deputy-Governor, may be fairly ascribed to his Lordship. His decease had caused a great sensation, and the Montreal papers agree in stating that what ever were the faults of his government, he manifested the utmost anxiety for, and assiduity in promoting, the welfare of the province he was appointed to govern. The Provincial Parliament bad been adjourned to the 25th instant. The news from Europe by the late steamer had greatly affected the cotton trade, which, it is said, has for some time been carried on on false basis : the effects of the news would. however, be, it was said, the remodelling of the trade, placing it on a healthy basis, and removing it out of the hands of the speculators, to the advantage of the planter in the southern states. The trade in flour had not been much affected by the sup posed scarcity in England, and, although it had risen, yet it had been only a moderate rise, without any of those sudden and ruinous speculative operations which had marked the pe riods of 1835-6, which was attributable to the frequent ar rival of the steamers. Business in New York was fair; not much speculation, although some disposition to it was appa rent, a mercantile ripple having been swept in by the last (Cunard) steamer. There - had been a calamitous fire in Canada at St. Tho mas's, which at once threatened destruction to the entire place ; it was, however, fortunately checked, but not before 15 stores had been destroyed. With regard to monetary affairs, the Courier and Enquirer of the 25th says, " the most remarkable feature is the pre sent high rates of exchange, and consequent shipments of specie to England and France. The scarcity of good bills and the advance on the rates proceed probably' from the ab sence of any material export at this moment of our chief staple, and the cessation of remittances in stocks or public securities. The export of specie this week to Europe will probably reach a million dollars, and there has besides been a considerable amount taken for Canton." The Great Western has brought over £60,000 specie in dollars. LONDON MONEY MARKET AND TRADE REPORT. SATURDAY EVENING.

THE REVENUE. (From Yesterday's Morning Herald.) The quarter's revenue ended on Saturday evening. The tabular returns show a slight improvement in the public re ceipts, the increase on the three months being two hundred and forty-one thousand seven hundred and twenty-one pounds ; and that on the preceding twelve months being two hundred and forty-eight thousand one hundred and forty eight pounds. Although the increase in the customs is but small, it is satisfactory to remark that the augmentation in the import duties has been from sugar; thus confirming the predications of the conservative party during the debates on the budget proposition. The prinCipil increase on the quarter has, however, been in the excise, and on the cause of this increase we cannot congratulate the public, as, in all probability, it has arisen out of the profusion, the treating, and the immorality of the general election. If we be correct in this supposition, this very augmentation may be taken as affording some estimate of the injury done to public morals by elections as at present conducted, and is a strong practical argument for the neces sity of repressive legislation on this important subject—to which, indeed, Sir Robert Peel has pledged himself that his government shall turn their attention during the recess. The Post-office revenue continues to decrease, to the utte r discomfiture of the prophecies of Messrs. Warburton, Vil liers, Cobden, and Rowland Hill, and the other great politi cal economists of the age. The decrease on the year is two hundred and sixty-eight thousand pounds, and on the quarter seven thousand pounds. The annual decrease in this depart ment shows the comp:ete financial error on which the ab surd postage scheme was based. The cacoethes scribendi, or epistolary mania, caused by the cheap novelty being now almost over, we may anticipate a gradual falling off in the Post-office receipts, until their amount as a treasury contri bution is unworthy of notice, and the conveyance of the mails becomes a source of expense and not of revenue to the nation. Two facts are now almost universally admitted, that the reduction in the rate of postage was made to a ri diculously low rate ; and that Mr. Rowland Hill is at pre sent an exceedingly well-paid servant of the public for hav ing seriously damaged the revenue. And yet the late ministry invited the legislature to entirely alter our commer cial code in the same hasty manner, and without reference to existing necessities and future prospects, as they succeed ed in seducing it into this frail Post-office peccadillo. Such is whiggery, ever regardless of experience, always enamoured of theories. For our own parts we honestly confess a desire that a return should be made, not to the old rates of postage, but to such a rate as, while it would not check correspon dence, would improve the revenue ; it being evident that a much higher rate than the present would not restrict written intercourse, would be cheerfully borne by the public, and would be most beneficial to the treasury. The penny post age is an incontestable example of the danger of adopting the wise saws of political economy in all their ultimate sim plicity; yet, during the parliamentary discussions on this subject, Mr. Rowland Hill constantly vociferated that his great discovery (!) would fiscally fail unless his penny plas ters were adopted. MYSTERIOUS DEATH DOVER, FRIDAY, OCT. B .—Yesterday evening an in quisition was held at River, near Dover, before Mr. De Lasaux, the coroner for East Kent, over the body of a gentle man who was found by the head gardener of Mr. J. M. Fector, lying on his face in a ditch, in the shrubbery, near Kearsney-abbey. On the body were found a passport and several written documents, from which it appeared the name of the deceased was Charles Adolphus Morris Bresler, an M.D. practising at Breslau, in Germany. He was about 39 years of age, had black hair, and stood abo u t fi ve f ee t e i g ht inches high. His n a ti ve lace is supposed to have been Ausland, and he was described in his passport as travelling for pleasure. The passport is dated Ostend, September 3, 1841, and deceased landed at Dover from one of the Ostend steamers on the following day. On his arrival at Dover he proceeded to the Providence Hotel, where he stayed a few days, and then went to Canterbury. At that place he stayed about a fortnight, and returned on Saturday week. He was very respectably dressed, and is said to have had a great deal of money about him when he first arrived from Ostend • but there were only two or three copp er co i ns of German money of small value upou him when he was discovered by the gardener. The last time he was seen alive was on Monday week, when he was met by a young gentleman who was also a native of Germany, and the two entered into conversation at considerable length. He said he was staying at Dover for pleasure, and had taken a stroll as far as River to look at the village. His reason for leaving Germany, he stated, was a love affair, and he had come to England to seek relief from a subject which pressed very heavily upon his mind, bdt intimated his intention of returning in a few weeks. The gentleman parted with him but a short distance from the place where the body was after wards found in a very decomposed state. How the deceased came by his death cannot he ascertained, although there is too much reason to fear it was his own voluntary act. The jury, after a somewhat lengthy investigation, returned a ver dict of " Found dead." and the body was this morning de cently interred in the churchyard at River. The travelling cloak of the deceased is still at the Providence Hotel, but it has not been ascertained what has become of the other pro perty which he had about him when he arrived at this port. The Rev. Mr. Marshall, formerly of the High Church, Glasgow, and now .of Edinburgh, has resigned his office as a minister of the Church of Scotland, on the ground that he believes episcopal government more agreeable to scripture than Presbyterianism.

TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12, 1841 The brilliant buccaneering exploit of Mr. Charles Elliott has fallen like a wet blanket upon the dawning hopes of the Whig faction. But a brief week ago the plucked and well nigh plumeless members of that faction might occasionally be met with in dark and nameless localities, hurrying along with memorials in each hand, and quills behind each ear, looking unut terable things, and croaking, ever and anon, like Barna by's raven, their monotonous " never say die ;" they were to be seen at pothouse gatherings and amphi theatre displays, "frighting the isle from its propriety," with dismal and horrific tales of starving weavers, empty looms, grassgrown streets, factories stopped, and banks and bank-shares at most lamentable dis counts. But, oh ! Charley Elliott ! most unfortunate of plenipotentiaries ! thy ill-timed farce has prepared the way for the damnation of as pretty and touching a melodrama as ever was got up by mortal players ; and " not all the blood of the Elliott's" could suffice to pay for the now useless scenery, the goblins, the "spectres and chimeras dire," and the stage thunder and blue fire which must be utterly and lamentably wasted ! The cause of Whiggery and Free Trade," can no longer be agitated together ; for the absolute lack of grave faces, to look without laughing upon so prepos terously ridiculous an association of things incongru ous ; and the Cobdens and the Gibbons must, for the future, vend their "cheap bread" under another banner, and seek other partners in their firm,—,who, are not so " discreditably known" to the. people whom they seek to (lupe. Seriously, we believe that ,there is not one man, woman, or child throughout her Majesty's dominions citsn fK nro-, tiy tiortitighly this Whig Chirtoiiii 4iliaiT6l, end utterly ainageut at tlio mingled folly, indecision, and cowardice which has so fat , marked its progress„ There is no rightminded Englishman whip does not at this moment blush for the infamy which it has brought down upon the name and character of British diplomacy. It was a sozug gler's quarrel in the outset; and has been conducted in the spirit of a buccaneer. But let us not, however, allow the reputation of British arms to be tainted by that of its diplomacy. Even in the waters of China the valour and discipline of our soldiers and sailors have shone out proudly pre-eminent. These qualities, not even the wretched imbecility of the Whig " pleni potentiary"—who stopped them when in their mid career of glory and triumph, and snatched from before their eyes the laurel which they had already won, whilst he drove his own huxtering bargain, and sold their blood for a paltry number of dollars—can either obscure or diminish. As a nation, proud of its naval and military renown, we have reason to be satisfied with the achievements of our gallant brethren in arms, even as evinced in the paltry and sordid quarrels into which Whig imbecility and meddling have dragged them. But oh ! in mercy save us—is the universal cry of England—from the infamy of witnessing their noble energies wasted and their spirits crushed in the very hour of struggle, by the incubus of an Elliott in the field, or the spirit of a chandler's shopkeeper in the council by which those energies are directed! The quarrel—such it was—with China was within a few hours of being terminated at a blow. A handful of British men had already within their reach the power of coercing into reason and decency the emperor and people of the most populous empire in the world. Canton lay at the mercy of the British arms ; the gate of her vast markets lay open to the industry of the suf fering artizans of our manufacturing districts, and to the enterprise of our merchants; and yet ! hear it ye clamorous dupes of Whig agitation ! Let it be sounded throughout your mob gatherings and heard amid your amphitheatrical displays !—the treachery and avarice of a Whig official deliberately sold this advantageous position—bartered the prospect of these advantages which British valour had achieved—for a paltry sum of six million dollars, to be doled out amongst the opium dealers of our Indian Empire, whose puppet and tool he is. Our quarrel with China is at this moment just where it was twelve months ago. The flower of a gal lant armament has sunk beneath exertions which have been frustrated as soon as they have been achieved. We have incurred, and justly, the reproach of every civilized people, as a nation of freebooters. And as the price of all this disgrace and loss of life and money, we can reflect only that five millions of dollars have passed through the "itching palm" of the Whig re presentative of the sovereign in China! We have the whole fight to fight over again, ---thanks to the illus trious House of Minto and to the " government with out patronage" of Lords Melbourne, Palmerston, Russell, and Company ! The close of the parliamentary session has enabled those noble personages to crawl away from beneath the public observation into their various rural obscuri ties. They have slunk off, glad and thankful that their factious outcry for inquiry into distress, produced by their own reckless dishonesty, has, in mercy, been visited only with contempt. But the public indigna tion excited by this disgraceful Chinese affair will dog them to their hiding places. The memory of a gallant British admiral, sinking on board his ship,—in pure shame that he had not laid his bones beneath an ene my's walls before so irreparable a spot had tarnished the honour of his country,—will, we devoutly trust, haunt them in their very dreams ; and the boys in our streets will never pass them without shouting in their ears the words of Brutus— "By heavens, I'd rather coin my blood fur drachmas, Than wring from the hands of peasants their vile trash By any misdirection 1" So gross, at least, as that of the Whig "Plenipoten tiary," who sold his nation's honour and the blood of its soldiers and sailors for a buccaneer's ransom ! To be an " anti-corn-law man" implies such a number of bad things, that we venture to predict all persons who have any regard for their reputation will, after a while, be careful to eschew such acts as would be likely to entail the distinction upon them. It implies that the individual keeps bad company, takes some " reverend" of the dissenting convention for his father confessor, goes to Saturday-night edifications at which cobblers and porters are the chief spokesmen ; and that here in Liverpool, for instance, he reads the Mercury, and swallows with implicit belief all what that most profound and veracious oracle may be pleased to enounce. We know a man by the company he keeps; we may know him also by the journals he reads ; and if we can convict his associates or his favourite paper of habitual disregard to truth, it is another very serious inference which we draw against himself, that he is a dealer in delusions, and loves to dwell in them. The party have lately been making much ado about certain answers given by Lord Stanley to a Mr. Brooks, who attended at the hustings, at Lancaster, on the oc casion of his lordship's last election. These answers they call " admissions;" and, taking just so much of them as suits their purpose, they parade them forth in speeches and resolutions as an immense accession to their stock ratiocinative, which, as everybody knows, is rather slender and, unquestionably, susceptible of improvement. The garbling practised in this matter is of the grossest description. his lordship was asked by his catechist, Mr. Brooks, "Is not bread dearer here, in this country, than in any other, on the average ?" and his answer was as follows : " Lord Stanley, I have stated, that the policy of this country has been to establish such a price as to give a profit able employment to the cultivation of a large portion of the landlords of this country. The policy has been, no doubt, to a certain extent, to raise the price of corn above its natural level, but, at the same time that it raises it above its natural level, I believe the result to be, that it keeps it from those extraordinary fluctuations which are to be found in other countries, and to give that which is much more essential to all classes of the community—steadiness of price, rather than lowness of price." On the first portion of this answer the anti-corn-law gentry immediately seize, and turn it to much ac count. It is an " admission," say they —a palpable " ad mission ;" and, suppressing all that is explana tory, they hawk it about from place to place as a tri umphant corroboration of their doctrines, even from the mouth of Lord Stanley. Acting upon the same dishonest system, they convert his lordship into a seeming witness in their behalf on other points; and thus it was that they made up the mess which figured last week in the radical journals as one of the " reso lutions" agreed to at the Saturday-night gathering, held in this town, to which we adverted in our last, and which [resolution] runs thus " That we fully concur in the admissions made by Lord Stanley, the present secretary for the colonies, at his re-elec tion for North Lancashire, that the operation of the corn laws is, Ist, to raise the price of food above its natural level ; 2nd, to increase the rent paid to the landlord proportionally to that price ; and, 3d, that the price of food has no effect on the rise and fall of wages ; and from these admissions we are confirmed in our opinion that," &c. &c. Now what designation can we give that will pro perly denote this mutilating, falsifying process, if we forbear to call it downright LYING ? It is something more than equivocation or quibbling ; it is an attempt, by gross misrepresentation, to create a directly false impression, and to give authority to propositions to which, in the naked form in which they appear here, Lord Stanley never assented at all ! Lord Stanley broadly defended the corn laws in his speech at Lan caster, and never made any "admissions," in the sense which that term is used, which could in the smallest degree compromise his opinions or invalidate the force of his arguments. True, he did say that " to a cer tain extent" the protective duty on corn did " raise the price;" but is that what should be called an "ad mission," or reluctant confession of a fact which he would rather suppress ? Of course such is the effect produced by the duty ; it is for that purpose the duty is laid on ; prohibition is to e xclude —protection to raise the price ; everybody knows that ; and the leaguers are welcome to the prodigious "admission" which they have obtained, coupled with the explanation which formed part of Lord Stanley's answer—namely, that "while the corn laws raise the price of corn above its natural level, the result is to give that which is much more essential to all classes, steadiness, rather than lowness of price." With regard to the third point, his lordship did indeed say that wages do not depend [immediately or directly] on the price of food; but his accompanying- explanations clearly show that they do so indirectly and consequentially. We shall give the whole of his answer : " I am asked whether wages rise or fall in consequence of
