PROFESSOR SWEDOU R'S HYGEIAN HERB PILLS, for the effectual 'extirpation of every species and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the disorders arising from improper treatment. Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at No. 54. SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL. In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each. Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBEBS, or any deleterious ingredient. ,-• *** With each Box is given a Treatise on venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on ser9ital weakness &c. &c., containing hints worth knowing by ,those who are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and dev toting malady. Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct hi ttention to those dis tr orders arising from the too free and indi. criminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the ener vating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing state of de bility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful ha bits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ve nereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution, and when the great Doctor Swedour became Professor at Ley den University, he conferred an invaluable benefit Upon man kind by the discovery of his grand l'anacea, for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with the undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy introduction into almost every country. The certainty with which they were continually administered can be attested by many thousands. In fact, during the long conti nental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infec tion was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The Hyge ian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, puri fying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body expelling the grosser humours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled posters. The neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest - suspicion of discovery—they require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he well to have recourse to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by moving the .complaint effectually and secretly. The deplorable state in which many persons h . ave been when visiting the proprietor, from the us e o f mercury, renders it im peratively necessary totaution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered. These Pills should form cvortion of all Medicine Chests, by sea and land, and aught never to be omitted by any person going a long voyage or journey, their ptoperties are such that neither beat nor cold will injure their quality, or prevent the due effects on the constitution.. Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eiyht in the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nina till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any of his preparations, WITHOUT A FEE. Letters (post-paid) enclosing a remittance, answered by re urn, and Medicines punctually transmitted to any address either by initials or name. No. 51, SEFM.STREET, LIVERPOOL. FIRES IN LONDON.—Irhe total number of fires observed and reported by the police in 1836 was 210, exclusive of chimnies; in 1837 it was 229. Of these, 104 in the former year, and 59 in the latter. equal to 34 per cent. of the whole number, were ex tinguished by the police before the arrival of the engines. The' l estimated amount of loss, generally taken from the statements of the sufferers themselves, vas £-186 500 in 1836, and £198,559 in 1837. In the former sum is included .£400.000, the estimated loss at the warehouses of Ferming and Co., near London-bridge; and in the latter £150,000, the loss at Davis's wharf, at Shad well. If these two sums be excluded, the loss in the two years , amounts to £l3s,os9.—Journal .of' the London Statistical So- 13arliament. HOUSE OF LORDS.—THURSDA Y. ..t Lord WYNFORD withdrew his bill " for - preventing the pay .ment of just debts being defeated or delayed by the privilege of parliament." Lord LANSDOWNE. at the suggestion of Lord Fitzwilliam, agreed to postpone the report of the Irish poor-law bill frum this day until Tdesday next. The Natives of India protection bill was recommitted, end the Queen's Bench sittings bill was reported. The remainder of the sitting was occupied with discussions upon petitions presented by Lord Stanhope against the new poor-law act. TH . E LIVERPOOL STANDARD HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY. Lord John RUSSELL announced that it was his intention to propose, on Friday, before the orders of the day were taken, to proceed with the municipal corporation bill for Ireland ; and. if that was nut finished by ten o'clock, he should then proceed with the sugar duties bill, which required to be passed without delay. He also proposed that the house should sit on Saturday. Colonel 1:) , /lES moved, pursuant to notice, for the appoint ment of a committee to take into consideration the most eligible site for the new houses of parliament. The motion was nega tived, on a division, by 90 to 33. . , Mr. WYSE then moved, that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, that she will be graciously pleased to appoint a board of commissioners for England, with the view especially of providing for the wise, equitable, and efficient application of sums ,ranted, or to be granted, for the advancement of .educa tion, by parliament, and for the immediate establishment of schools for the education of teachers, in accordance with the in tention already expressed by the legislature. After a debate, the motion was negatived by a majority of 74 to 70. Mr. O'COI;INELL gave notice, that he intended to move a re solution declaratory of the right of all female apprentices iu the British colonies to be classed as non prwdials. He said that he would on Tuesday next fix a day for this motion, upon which, moreover, he promised to take the sense of the house.. Mr GleSots moved for a return of the minutes of the senate of the University of London since the granting of the royal charter in 1836. The motion, which was objected to by the government, was negatived without a division. Mr. LABOUCHERE obtained leave to bring in a bill to provide for the conveyance of the mails by railways. The imprisonment for debt bill, sent from the Lords,, was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Mon day week.—Adjourned at cne. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY. A petition was presented by Lord BROUGHAM, seeking pro tection for, and encouragement of au invention where the bodies of the departed might be preserved for some time, for the pur pose of dissection. Lord aLENGAL directed attention to various notifications for large tithe meetings in Ireland, particularly in Tipperary, and inquired whether the lord lieutenant had taken precautions to preserve the peace against such alarmingly numerous and illegal meetings ? The Earl of M ULGH AVE answered that he was not aware that the meetings, because they happened to be in the open air, were illegal, but vigilance would be observed. Considerable conversation ensued. On the report of the Oaths Validity Bill, an extended dis cussion took place, the result of which was the retention of the first and the rejection of the second clause. . The other orders being disposed of, their lordships adjourned: HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY. Sir S. CANNING said he should on Saturday institute inquiry of the government regarding the Vixen. Lord ASH LEY repeated that he should press the consideration of the Factory Bill, instead of allowing Lord J. Russell's order to be discharged. Lord J. RussELL, in answer to Sir R. PEEL'S inquiry, said that he proposed that the house should meet at twelve o'clock on Saturday, to proceed with the Juvenile Offenders' Prison Bill, and other public bills. The house then resolved itself into committee on the Muni cipal Corporation (Ireland) Bill, which, and the Sugar Duties Bill, &c., occupied the remainder of the sitting. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-SATURDAY. The Speaker took the chair at 12 o'clock, at which time there were exactly 40 members present. . Mr. S. O'BRIEN gave notice that on bringing up the report on the Municipal Corporation Bill he should move a clause enabling the commissioners to take a valuation of property for the present year, in order that the bill might come into im mediate operation. An Hon. Member inquired if any person had been appointed by government to inspect steam-vessels. The late catastrophe on the river made it necessary that such an appointment should take place. Lord J R U SSE L L said, no person was appointed by govern ment to inspect steam-vessels, but the subject should be con sidered. Sir S. CANNING moved, pursuant to notice, for the production of papers and doCuments relating to the capture of the Vixen. The first papers he wished to have laid on the table was a copy of any legal proceedings, and the sentence pronounced in any of the courts oflaw-in Russia. The next was, copies of any ap plications which had been made by the owners of the Vixeu to the Court of St. Petershurgh. Lord PA IMERSTON said if the right hon. baronet would move for papers, he would not object to it. and they should be pro duced if in existence, and if not, the fact should be communi cated to the house. Sir S. CANNING inquired if the noble lord had any objection to lay on the table, the instructions given to Earl Durham and M r. 'Urquhart. Lord PA LMERSTON.—There could be no objection to laying before the house a copy of the instructions given to Earl Dur ham and all other documents connected with the subject. On the motion of Lord J. Itussar.r. the house went into corn mittee on the Juvenile Offenders Bill. Mr. Bernal in the chair. The different clauses, after a few unimportant amendments, were agreed to ; the bill was reported, and ordered to be read a third time. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the second reading of the Vacation Sittings Bill. The hon. and learned member said he could not anticipate any objection to the bill, as its only object was to enable the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench to sit in Bauco after term, in order to dispose of the great arrear of business in that court. After a few words from Mr. J. JERVIS, The bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. VESTRIES IN CHURCHES. On the motion of Dr. NICHOLL, the Vestries in Churches Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. BISHOPRIC OF SODOR AND MAN. Lord J. RUSSELL moved the third reading of the Sodor and Mau Bishopric Bill. Mr. C. L esti NGTON objected to the motion. No reason had been given for introducing a bill of this nature, and he should therefore move that the bill be read a third time that day three months._ _ Lord J. RUSSELL said it was originally intended to join the bishopric of Sudor and Man with the see of Carlisle; but that proposition was so objectionable to the inhabitants of th e islands, that it was abandoned. The present bill, which had the sanction of the Church Commissioners, met with the approbation of all those whom it concerned, and therefore he trusted no opposition would be offered to its passing into a law. Mr. PIIYAIE could bear testimony to the great objections which existed to uniting the bishopric of Sodur and Man with the see of Carlisle. Ile therefore trusted the house would agree to the third reading. A desultory conversation ensued, in which Mr. Thornely, Mr. Rthhbrooke, Mr. C. Lushington, Sir C. Styles, and Mr. Est court took part. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the house divided, when there appeared— For the third reading 62 Against it Majority 64 The bill was then read a third time, and passed. Lord J. RUSSELL obtained leave to bring in a bill to settle and describe municipal boundaries in Ireland. The house adjourned at a quarter to two o'clock until Mon day. COURT OF CHANCERY,-DUBLIN, JUNE 9. MALONE V. O'CONNER AND OTHERS. It will, no doubt, he in the recollection of many of our read ers, that this is a suit instituted by John Malone, Esq. brother of Richard Malone Raymond, Esq., the respected lessee of the 'Liver Theatre in this town, for recovery of estates and property in Ireland, worth many thousands per annum, left by the will of the Right Hon. Anthony Malone to his heirs male in succession, and which the plaintiff claims as now being the next male heir of the testator, all the intermediate possessors having died without male issue, or such issue being extinct. About the latter end of last 'year the Lord Chancel lor directed an issue into the Court of Queen's Bench, to ascertain certain facts relative to the plaintiff's claims, and, on the 14th December, after a trial which occupied the court nine days, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. The defend ants afterwards applied for a new trial, which, owing to the magnitude of the property at stake, his lordship granted on certain conditions; and, amongst others, he directed, that 'the verdict found for the plaintiff, on the 14th December, should be given in evidence on the second trial, and that the cost of the first trial should be paid to the plaintiff. Against this decision the defendants - appealed to the House of Lords, and, pending that appeal, have made another application to his lordshiiy. After counsel had been heard on both sides, the Chancellor in giving his decision, said, that he wished to avoid anything that might prejudice the parties; but he must say, that he had no reason to 1•e dissatisfied with the verdict which had been given : he did not think this case came within the cases cited to show that proceedings should be stopped in case of an appeal, and, under the circumstances :of the case, he could not help saying, that the appeal was frivolous, but that a higher tribunal would decide. There was one observation which he would rather not have been obliged to make, and that was, that he could not help thinking that there was a studied system of delay on the part of the defendants: on one side the • party was in possession, and armed with all the advantages of considerable wealth, while the plaintiff was struggling with poverty. Between these parties he would endeavour to hold an equal hand: he would certainly take care not to permit any unequal facilities to either party. Under the circumstance he must refuse the first part of the application, and the other part of the application must fail if the appeal failed. How was the plaintiff to go to trial if he had not the means of obtaining and bringing up witnesses. In fact, there was no reason why the plaintiff should not get costs. LARGE 1 - IEIFEn.—Mr. Carter, of Dearham, near Maryport slaughtered a heifer of the short-horned breed, not three years old, (fed by Miss Swinburn, of Brigham,) which weighed 12 stone 111bs. per quarter, and yield 13 stone 'Jibs. of fat. The beef Was of the best quality, and was sold in Cockermouth market on Monday last.—Carlisle Patriot.

F. lIERSCHEI..—On Friday, the friends of Sir John Herschel sat down to a splendid dinner in Freema son's-hall, Great Queen-street, given to that gentleman as a mark of their respect for his character, and admiration for the spirit with which his scientific labours were pursued in the south ern hemisphere. About 500 sat down to dinner at three-quar ters past six, his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex in the chair. Sir J. Herschel was seated at his right hand. A splen did vase, bearing a suitable inscription, was, at the same time, presented to Sir John. , ••••': - COMMERCIAL IN I'ELLIG ENCE. (From the Sunday Times.) LONDON, Sarni:par.—The mercantile advices received this week from the United. States are, it is satisfactory to observe, of a much more favourable character than those previously obtained, as respects the state of trade. A very material reduc tion had taken place in the exchanges between New York and the other principal cities of America. ,This alteration has been most anxiously looked for by the, merchants and_traders fur months past, as the only means of facilitatin g the liquidation of debts between the several sections of which the United States are composed; numerous individuals having hung back in the discharge of their obligations under the general plea that the previous ruinous depreciation in the exchanges effectually pre vented them from meeting the demands of their creditors. Al though the resumption of specie payments had. become pretty general in the northern states, still the banking interests dis counted only to a limited amount, and the want of accommoda tion necessarily checked a return to a general activity, in the various branches of industry. It is, however, gratifying to be enabled to state that the packets which are loading for New York will take out a considerable quantity of British goods, which no doubt will find a very ready market in America. Specie continued to flow into the United States in very large amounts, forming a strum" contrast to the state in which the bullion market was placed a few months since, when gold bore a premium of from 8 to 22, the latter value having been realised in the southern parts of the Union. The mercantile markets in the City have for some days past exhibited a great degree of animation. The sales, both for public and private contract, of nearly all the principal articles of import have been upon a very extended scale, and it is satis factory to observe, that in the majority of instances, enhanced prices have been given by the dealers. As some very heavy prompts must follow these sales shortly, money has become more in request. The principal discount houses now ask from 3to 3 per cent. for accommodation, even upon the best de scription of Bills of Exchange. It is not expected, however, that money will become much more in demand, as the quarterly dividends will shortly be paid, and from £1,500,000 to £1,700,000 in addition will be thrown into circulation by the reduction of a portion of the floating debt of the East India Company. Very little speculative business has been transacted in the Funds this week; many of the chief operators in time bargains have been attracted to Ascot to witness the sports the race course afforded, rather than attending to the ordinary occupa tions of the Stock Exchange. The Bears have taken advantage of this circumstance, and they have occasioned a fall, although their operations were not by any means considerable, of nearly per cent. Consols for Account yesterday left off at 95, rather buyers. The transfer-books being closed preparatory to the payment of the dividends, necessarily restricts the business in real transactions, iu Consols as well as in the New Three-and a-Half per Cents, and other portions of the public debt There has been a slight improvement in the premium upon Exchequer Bills, which have again reached 70, and India Bonds 76 prem. Bank Stock yesterday reached 2054, being slightly above the prices obtainable in the early part of the week. The state of the market for Foreign Securities has been very nearly the same as that noticed on this day week. The account was settled yesterday, but without producing any movement in prices. Spanish Stock has advanced from 211, to 21i; Portu guese Five per Cents from 354 to 24 1 2 . French Rentes have risen from 109-50 to 110, the exchange being quoted at 25f. 50c. The alterations in Dutch, Belgian, and the other Foreign Bonds, have been slight this week. The same remark will apply to the South American Stocks. For Shares the inquiries have not increased, but the princi pal projects have looked more brisk within the last week. The Great Western Railway have been advanced to 90, or 25 prem.; the Brighton to 113 or 3 prem. ; the London and Birmingham from 182 to 174, or 8.3 prem.; the North Midland to 391, or 41 prem.; the Leeds and Manchester to 371, or 171 prem.; the Blackwell to 51, or prem. and the Croydon to 16, or 4 disct. Shares of Banking Companies remain very nearly the same as last week. Asphalte and Bitumen Shares are very flat. The Claridge's patent Asphalte have rallied from 4 to 6, or 4 prem., but all the others have been sold on cheaper terms. HALF-PAST TWELVE.—In the Money Market there has not yet been much business doing. Consols have been quoted at 94i 95; Exchequer Bills at 68 to 70 pm.; and India Bonds at 76 pm. Bank Stock is at 2054. Portuguese New Bonds are (looted at an improvement to 361 37, and Spanish Consols, to 21i 22; Brazilian have advanced to 102. Dutch Two-and-Half per Cents remain at 513 55 , In the Share Market the prices are not essentially different from those obtainable up to the close of business yesterday after boon. Great Western Shares have risen to 27 pm. Claridge's Asphalte Shares have been sold as low as 31, but are now Worth 41 prem. MISCELLANEOUS. All idea of terminating the session of parliament at the time of the coronation is, we believe, given up.—Herald. It is said that it is not the intention of government to fill up the place of State Housekeeper at Hampton Palace, vacant by the death of Ladv Emily Montague.

Charles Murray, appoiuted master of the house hold. SWAN RIVER.—A vessel has arrived in Errgland from this colony laden with wool, oil, and timber exclusively the produc tions of the colony. This is the first instance since the es tablishment of the colony. In the event of Sir John C. Hobhouse's anticipated elevation to the peerage, there will be no lack of liberal candidates to supply his place, as Mr. Ewart and Mr. Morrison are both mentioned for the vacancy. CHEAP POSTAGE.—In the House of Commons, on Monday night, Mr. Milnes Gaskell presented a petition from the Pro prietor and Editor of the Leeds Intelligencer newspaper, and from thirty persons employed in his establishment, respecting the advantage to the public of a reduced rate of postage, and praying for the establishment of a uniform penny postage, ac cording to the plan developed by Mr. Hill. MUNIFICENT BENEVOLENCE.—The late Francis Marris, Esq., of Roundhay, Leeds, formerly of this town, evinced his sympathy for those institutions which he regarded as calculated to promote the glory of God and the welfare of mankind by the following bequests; viz. :—To the fund for the relief of widows of Wesleyan ministers, £3,000; Wesleyan Missionary Society, £500; Methodist Preachers' Annuity Society, £300; - Wesleyan Theological Institution, £200; Leeds Infirmary, £200; Bible Society, £200; Leeds Infirmary, £200; Manchester Infirmary £200; Manchester Penitentiary, £loo.—Bradford Observer. THE PROPER USE OF WORDS.—It is incorrect in every case to say, that the Dissenters pay the church-rate or any por tion of it; the lands and houses pay it; and if a Dissenter takes house or land knowing it to be under that liability, and as soon as he has got either into his possession, by purchase or on leasehold, or as yearly tenant, attempts to shift off the expense upon others, or to suffer the church to fall into decay, we say that such a Dissenter (whatever may be his pretence to reli gion) is NOT AN HONEST MAN.—Times. ANIMAL MAGNETISM.—A committee has been appointed by the Royal Society to investigate the phenomena presented by persons under the influence of animal magnetism, and to de termine its claims to the rank of science. We understand that Dr. Roget and Dr. Farady are members of the committee. The experiments will be performed in the London hospitals, more particularly the University College Hospitals, which seems to be the very focus of magnetism.—Observer. Tie Midland Counties Railway continues to be rapidly pro ceeded with, nor will it excite much surprise that it does so, when we state that there are now employed en the line no fewer than 3100 men and 328 horses; viz. between Derby and Not tingham, 691 men and 93 horses : Trent and Leicester, 1076 men and 97 horses; and Leicester to Rugby, 1713 men and 188 horses.—Leicester Chronicle.

The latter states that he has a recollection of the Scotch rebels passing through Auden shaw, in their retreat to the, Highlands. 'GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY.—Tbe contractors for the railway bridge which is to cross the river Ouse at Pop: pleton, near York,thave cemmenced operations upon the works the navigators and carpenters are actively engaged in excavat - ing. &c.. for the foundations. It is stated that a temporary bridge will be thrown across the river, preparatory to their pro ceeding with the stone structure which is contracted for.—Hul Timer. HARD CURRENCY.—The following is said to be the funds with which a certain safety fund bank in Michigan redeems its notes, to wit :—All notes under five dollars in whetstones; all over'five dollars and under ten, in grindstones; all over ten and under twenty, in millstones; all over twenty, in checks on any quarry in the state.—Hudson River Chronicle.

The inhabitants of Brighton have so far redeemed their credit as to have discharged the debt due to Lord G. Bentinck. the winner of the Brighton stikes in 1837; but it seems doubtful whether the races will be continued. FOREIGN TREES AND SHRUBS IN ENGLAND.—In the six teenth century, 89 were introduced; in the seventeenth century, 131; in the eighteenth century, 445 ; from the year 1800 to 1830, there were introduced 669. The total number up to 1830 being 1.364. Those introduced during the present century are chiefly from North America. Babe new lamplighter of the House of Commons has contriv ed to produce such a glare as must inevitably tend to extinguish altogether the light of the press. In each brass circle appear about 80 wax candles; these being three chandeliers, conse quently two hundred and jimty lighted wax candles'present their accumulated glare on a most " deadly level" with the eyes el the reporters; and, as if Ibex were net there subjected to pur gatory sufficient, there is the addition, d:iectly over their heads, of tt large chandelier, with some 15 lighted was candles in it. ,% %, \ , WELDING.—A practice has for some time prevailed at Keswick of welding iron, steel. and cast steel, with a mineral which is said to be very abundant in that neighbourhood, and is found to answer the purpose much better than sand or bo rax, inasmuch as it affords a decidedly better protection to the fusing metals. It is used in the same common or simple way as sand, requiring no further care or management. Two, three, or more pieces of cast steel may be welded together, and drawn out, hardened, and broken across the junctures which cannot be observed; or iron and cast steel can be welded together in the saine was', as 'perfectly, and with as much ease as the mild est steel or iron.—Carlisle Patriot. TENIPERATURE OF 1837.—1 t appears from the Meteorological Journal kept at the garden of the Horticultural Society, Lou don, that:the mean temperature ofthe past year Was 48.52, whilst that of the ten preceding years was 50.62, and that the quantity of rain was four inches less than the annual average; so that the year was both colder and drier than usual. CHARGE OF FORGERY TO A-LARGE AMOUPIT.—Mr. William Cooke, a timber-merchant in this city (Hereford,) a man sup posed to possess a large property, was brought before the magis trates yesterday, charged. with committing a forgery to the amount . • of upwards of £lOOO, with intent to defraud the direc tors of the National Provincial Bank of England. Mr.'Cooke declined to say anythin g in his defence, and was fully commit ted for trial.—HerefordPaper., INCORPORATION OF BIRMINGHAM.—The number of names attached to the different petitions praying for a charter of incor poration is 8,707; of these, 1,788 are persons actually paying rates; and the total amount of the sums for which they are as sessed is £45,789. I Is. 6d. The number of names to the peti tions against the charter is 2,841 ; of these, 1,199 are persons paying rates; and the total amount of the sums for which they are assessed is £47,485. 13s. sd. EMPLOYMENT OF THE INSANE IN AGRICULTURE AND GARDENING.—An extensive medico-agricultural establishment is at present being organized in the commune of l'Eyme, arron dissement of Figeac, where the house for the insane under the care of M. Tissot is situated. A large extent of land, meadows, woods, a spacious and well-arranged dwelling, a temperate climate, and a salubrious atmosphere, render this establish ment very suitable for its future destination. Skilful Physici ans will be attached to it. L'Echo, 4.c.: Nov. 22, 1837, p. 183.) This idea has been carried into execution in the gardens of the Lancaster Lunatic Asylum.—Gardener's Magazine, for April, p. 186. From a Parliamentary Return just published, it appears that there were taken out of bond for home consumption in 1837, 210,000 qrs. of foreign wheat, 47,000 qrs. barley, 331,000 qrs. oats, 19,500 qrs. rye, 87,000 qrs. peas, 109,000 qrs. beans. To these must be added 22,500 qrs. colonial wheat, and some trifling quantities of Buck wheat, Indian corn, &c. The ave rage duty paid on the wheat was about 295; on the barley, Os ; on the oats, 10s; on the peas, 10s; on the beans, 9s, The sum which these duties yielded to the revenue was about £600,000. The foreign and colonial wheat, barley, and oats, brought into the market, were equal to about four days' consumption of the country. The grain of all kinds, including peas and beans, re maining in the warehouse on Ist January last. was 925,000 qrs. A SEASONABLE HINT TO FARMERS.—A method has been discovered in Sweden of preventing grain from being laid by the rain, and of raising it when laid. corn stalks are gen tly bent together, and tied in bundles as far as the arms can reach, care being taken not to break the straws, nor to prevent the circulation of the juice. The bundle is fastened with a straw rope at about two-thirds of the height of the straw, and the heads of the grain thus form a sort of umbrella, protecting the straw from the rain and giving sufficient air. A man, or even an active boy, can bind in a day as much corn as will produce 100 bushels of grain. A MARCH EXTRAORDINARY.—The 78th regiment, newly arrived from India, marched through Glasgow on Friday after noon with a tame elephant, brought by the officers from India, which marched at the head of the band in regimental and most majestic order, while the Highland bagpipes played behind. Great crowds turned out to see them, and the citizens appeared vastly amused with the scene.—Glasgow paper. By a return just made to parliament, it appears that the.total number of acres of land in Great Britain under the cultivation of hops, in the year 1837, was 56,323; that the total amount of duty for the same timewas £310,794 4s. ; and that the total quantity of hops exported in that year was 444.265 lbs. That in the year 1837 there were made, in the United Kingdom, 5,069,812 qrs of malt; 460,415 were consumed by retail brewers, the rest by brewers and victuallers. And, lastly, it appears that in Great Britain, Ireland, and Scotland, there are 2,743 brewers, 72,822 victuallers, 40,102 persons licenied to sell beer not drunk on the premises; and 17,192 who brew their own beer to be drunk on the premises; and 16,610 who are licensed to brew beer not to be drunk on the premises. AFRICAN STATION.—FRIGHTFUL MORTALITY ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S SHIPS,—By a letter from Sierra Leone •dated the 7th of March last, accounts are received of the following terrible losses from the black vomit and the yellow fever—the dreadful scourges of that clime. After stating that the Buzzard was off the port the previous day, but ordered to have no per sonal communication with the shore, the writer !dates the mor tality to have been ascertained as follows, up to the date mentioned : —The Etna-1 assistant surgeon, two mates, 18 seamen, 2 boys, 4 marines : total /7. Bonnetta—her commander, 1 assistant sUrgeon, purser, 1 clerk, 10 seamen:. total 14. Forrester—her commander, and 18 seamen : total la. Raven —2 mates, 1 assistant surgeon, 7 seamen : total 10—making in all 70 casualties ! MARCH OF INTELLECT.—A gentleman the other.day visiting a school at Edinburgh, had a book .put into his hand for the purpose of examining a class. The word " inheritance" occur ring in the verse, .the querist interrogated the youngster as fol lows:—" What is inheritance?"—A. "Patrimony."—" What is patrimony ?"—A. " Something left by a father."—" What would you call it if left by a mother ?"—A. " Matrimony." 3VOLVERHAAIFTON.—II is stated by the Wolverhampton paper, that the maniac, ThoM, who has been the cause of so much bloodshed in Kent, once paid a visit to that town for the purpose of exawining what chance of success was held out to him as a candidate for the representation of the borough. ARRIVAL OF A STEAMER imoir Naw YORK.—The Sir Lionel Smith, steamer which sailed from New York on the 14th May, arrived in the 1 lianies on Thursday, having been thirty days on the voyage, and seven ,days longer than the regular nackets, which sailed two days after her. . It was previously understood, that she was quite unfit to navigate the Atlantie. STEAM BOAT EXPLOSION.—We regret to state, that the Vic toria steamer, from Hull to London, which burst a boiler two or three months ago, was the scene of another explosion in the Thames on Thursday,last; when Ave of the crew were killed, or so much injured that their recovery is hopeless. The passen gers, 80 in number, escaped. The explosion appears to have been caused by a collision with another vessel; and it will pro-1 bably turn out, that the boiler has not burst, but that one of the main steam-pipes has been broken by the shock. CAUTION TO MOTHERS.—On Saturday last, an inquest was, held before G. Dyson, Esq., at the house of Mr. Mo . ses Barker, the Half-way Inn, in Clayton, on the body of Sarah Hains worth, an infant of eleven months old. It appeared that the mother of the child had gone from home, leaving the child in the care of her husband. The infant becoming restless, the father determined to appease it with that universal panacea, "Godtrey's Cordial." The poor man, however, unfortunately, in a mistake, gave the child a teaspoonful of oil of vitriol, out of a bottle on the same shelf. A verdict of "Accidental Death" was returned, accompanied with a severe reprimand, by the coroner, on the mother, for her want of consideration in leaving her infant. WIGAN SUNDAY SCHOOLS.—On Sunday last two impressive sermons were preached, in our parish church, by the Rev. T. Tattershall, of Liverpool, in the morning and evening, and col lections made in behalf of the above schools, amounting to about £46. In the afternoon the rev. gentleman delivered a very beautiful address to the children collected in the National School, who, as the day turned out rather unfavourable, were prevented from their accustomed walk through the town in pro cession. Each scholar, before returning home, was presented with the usual gift of a bun.—Wigan Gazette. MAD Docs.—Within the last fortnight the inhabitants of Warrington have been in some degree alarmed by the appear ance of several mad dogs in their streets. The rabid animals were quickly destroyed by the police, and as a more effectual preventive of further mischief resulting to the public, the police committee issued a notice, stating that all dogs found in the streets would be destroyed. It was, however, suffered to go un heeded; and, on Monday, a woman was bitten severely in the leg by a dug belonging to an engineer working in the town. Two policemen, immediately after the event, were dispatched on a shooting excursion, armed with air canes loaded with bullets. A number of dogs were soon destroyed, and, for the present at least, the nuisance may be said to have abated.—Mun chester Courier. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—A very fine powerful young man, named William Hampson, the son of respectable people living in Rusholme-lane, was drowned in the I resell on guesday after noon. He had been two years at sea, and having visited his parents, was returning to Liverpool by the iron steamer just established on the Irwell by the Old Quay Company, for the purpose of embarking for another voyage. As the packet was passing the boat-house at Irwell, Captain Hindley, the com mander, observed the deceased standing upon a slight wooden rail at the edge of the vessel, and immediately overhanging the water. Knowing that he must be in great danger, as the rail was very weak, the captain called to him to get off, but before he could utter all the words the rail gave way, and the unfortu nate youth was precipitated into the wather. The packet was immediately run ashore ; and the deceased being unable to swim, one of the hands immediately extended a boat-hook to him, but he made no effort to reach it. and sank. A boat and hooks were then procured, and in ten minutes the body was recovered : it was carried into the boat-house, where the ordinary means used in cases of drowning, to restore animation were tried, but with out success. On Thursday an inquest was held before W. S. Rutter, Esq., and a verdict of " Accidental death" retorded.— The deceased was only eighteen years of age.—Manchester Cou rier. INTENDED MEETING OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION IN NEWCASTLE.—On Saturday last, a meeting of the committee, appointed to make arrangements for the meeting of the British Association, to be held in this town in the month of August next, took place in the lectUreroom of the Literary and Philo sophical Society, when an outline of the intended plan of pro ceedings was agreed u pon. Mr. Wharton, of Durham, having been called to the chair, Mr, Wm. Hutton, one of the secre taries, laid before the meeting the resolutions of the different sub-committees, on the points which had been referred to their consideration. The evening meetings to be held during the week for business were fixed for Monday, Thursday, and Satur day, On Tuesday evening, a promenade is to be held in the Large Assembly Room; on Wednesday evening, a promenade in the Green Market; and on Thursday evening, another pro menade in the Large Assembly Room. The evening meetings are to be held in Mr. Grainger's Central Exchange, which will be fitted up to seat 2,800 persons. In reference to the admission of ladies, it was resolved that 1,000 tickets should be issued; 400 of which would be reserved for non-resident ladies, of those resideut at greater distance than 15 miles from Newcastle. The price of tickets for non-resident ladies is not yet fixed upon : for the admission of resident ladies the following scale was adopted—For one ticket, £2, for two tickets £5, and for three tickets £10; the object of the committee being to hold out an inducement for large subscriptions, as the amount already ° tributed is by no means adequate to meet the expenses lik ely Thenumber t the of meetingsmembers was o f estimatedt he As .soc i a a t t , n 7o e o x tpoecbteedinctunrr be pre sent prese n a viz. 700 resident, and 1,000 strangers from.o distance.

Sopwitli, to be engraved on the bark of the admission ticket, was handed in, and it was re solved that the ticket should forthwith be placed in the hands of the engraver. Some other business of a formal nature was then dispoted of, after which the committee ti(ljottrned.—Ca7, lisle Patriot, JUNE 19, 1838. THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL.

At the suggestion of several of our friends, we have been induced to POSTPONE THE ENLARGEMENT OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD until the 3d of July, in order that we may not break in upon the half-yearly files of our subscribers, and that the new series may commence with the first number in the second half-year. , 4 TO CORRESPONDENTS The letter from our correspondent at Birmingham has been re ceived, and shall have our best attention. The Advertisement, " Sale of Property in Crowton," was pot received until the morning of the 16th instant. For this tea son it could not appear in our Friday's paper. " A Ship Carpenter" will perceive that we have suggested a plan which would obviate the unpleasantness to which he alludes. "Ben Jonson's Song," which appeared in our paper last week, should have been quoted from that interesting work " Shakspeare and his Times." Elie Eibtrpool gftanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 19, 1838. ozr The Publication of the STANDARD commenced this morn ing at 5 o'clock. Ttii UNITED STATES.—By the Sheffield, which ar rived here on Sunday morning, we have received New York papers to the 27th ultimo. The news brought by these papers is not of great importance. The commer cial affairs of the union seem to be improving. The banks of New York were enlarging their discounts, which had given an impulse to trade. The Treasury Notes Bill, the object of winch was to relieve the pecu niary embarrassments of the executive, had been passed by the Congress and received the royal assent of the President. The House of Representatives bad received for their consideration several important communications relating to the north-eastern boundary—a subject which is likely to prove a source of protracted excitement,both in the United States and in the British colonies. The Prince , de Joinville had arrived at Boston, and was treated with great hospitality. A destructive fire had occurred at Albany ; but confla- ; grations of an extensive character happen so frequently+ in the States that they almost cease to excite any curio sity. The following may be quoted as the most important commercial extracts : (From the Courier and Enquirer, May 26.) EXCHANGE.—The transactions for the packets of the 24th, closed at 7 a 71 per cent. premium on England; frs. 5 35 012 France; 39 a 39i cts. on Holland; 37i cts. on Hamburg, and 771 a 78 cts. on Bremen.

A Convention of the South Carolina and Georgia Banks are, we learn, to meet at Charleston on Tuesday next, when the banks of that city have resolved to propose to the convention, that a resumption of specie payments should take place on the Ist November next. The Suffolk Bank of Boston has agreed to receive for thirty days, from the Associated Banks, the fractional bills of these banks whose notes they redeem, for the purpose of withdrawing them from circulation. NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET, MAY 15.—We yesterday received, by express mail via New York, Liverpool accounts to April 9th, being two days later than those received by steam' ship Great Western ; and, although of an unfavourable nature, our market keeps firm in prices for all kinds, but not so much doing. We note a sale of 350 bales middling fair Tennessees, at 9 is per lb., and a few other small lots were sold at our quo tations. A belief gains ground here, that the U.S. Bank, from the various ways her agents raise funds and ask time for the cot ton they purchase, she intends monopolizing the balance of the crop in this country, at the same time get her agents to speculate in Europe, being, no doubt, carried away by the estimates of 16 a 1,650,000 bales. We, however, feel confident, it will turn out 1,800,000 bales by the Ist of October, having now re ceived in the ports 1,530,000, and a large quantity left in the interior, which will now come in, from the late rise of water and good prices quoted, Louisiana and Mississipi, 71 a 14c ex: tremes, fair 11 a Ili; Tennessee and N.

It appears from the following extract that the Earl of Durham had arrived at the mouth of the St. Lawrence : "ARRIVAL OF THE EARL OF DURHAM.—Captain Forrest, of the schooner Albion, from St. John's, N.F., and Halifax ,' states, that a brig of war, which accompanied the Hastings, 74, from. England, the latter having Lord Durham, the new Governor General of Canada, arrived at Halifax previous to the 16th inst. The brig had left the Hastings off the mouth of the St. Lawrence, she being unable to pass the Gulf on account of the ice. The armed steamer, which also accompanied the Hastings from England, had endeavoured to get into Sydney, C. 8.. to replenish her fuel, having only one day's consumption left, but was pre vented by the ice. She was momently expectedat Halifax, whey' , the Albion left. The Pique frigate, from Halifax for Quabec, for the safety of which fears had been entertained, was safe in , Arichat. Captain Frost also states, that the ice extends along the shore, north of Halifax, for upwards of sixty leagu s , He has been familiarly acquainted with the coast far twenty years, and has never before seen it look so formidable at this season oi the year."—Boston Advertiser. We presume that no person can or will be surprised, after what they have seen or heard, at any act of folly perpetrated by our present rulers, nor at any 4. blow" which they may aim at the Established Church, to satisfy the rapacious demands of those hard and inflexible task masters, the Popish and radical members of Parliament, upon whose fetid breath they depend for continuance in office.
