DISTRESSING CIRCUMSTANCE. —On Saturday week, Mr. Richard Stopford Taylor, veterinary surgeon, Hope Cottage, Tanshelf, Pontefract, was found drowned in the Aire and Calder, naar Wheldon, in the parish of Ferry bridge. The deceased had been coursing in the neigh bourhood on the preceding day. Verdi's opera of "Nino" was produced on Tuesday night, at her Majesty's Theatre, for the debut of a Signor Lorenzo, who enacted the part of the Assyrian monarch. He possesses an agreeable, but not powerful, baritone voice, and seems to be an excellent actor. His appear ance, too, upon the stage is very striking. At Derby, on Friday week, a matt and woman, named Dabin, loft their dwelling for their work. Their three children were left in the house, and by some means one of them set herself on fire, and the flames communicated to the others. When found two were dead, and the third is in great danger. The prisoner Johnson, who was convicted at the late Appleby Assizes, on a charge of maliciously shooting at Robert Orphan, one of the Earl of Lonsdale's gamekeep ers, escaped from Appleby gaol on Tuesday last, in the day time ; he was observed by several people, who did not suspect him to be a prisoner, until the alarm was given.

TO THE EDITOR OF TEE LIVERPOOL BTANDARD. Liverpool, 7th March, 1850. Sin, — l read with much pleasure in the STANDARD of the 19th February your able and temperate article on what certainly does appear to be a very lavish and prodi gal expenditure of the parish rates. I have also read a letter which you published on Tuesday last, from " A Friend to the Parish Surgeon and a Ratepayer," with your brief note appended thereto, and I feel persuaded that many, equally with yourself, are dissatisfied with a system which is evidently open to so much abuse.. The letter i nser t e d i n your paper on Tuesday last contains so many fallacies that I shall feel greatly obliged if you can find a corner for a few remarks thereon. In the first place, no reasonable person can for a mo ment suppose that your article was intended as an attack on individuals, or written with a view to injure the parish doctors. If they are i njured, I apprehend it will be only in their pockets, and I cannot but think that the rate payers' pockets have been, and still are, very unnecessarily and improperly taxed to the great benefit of those persons. Your correspondent says, that £5,000 per annum can not be considered a large o u tl ay for a parish like Liver pool. I differ widely from him on this point. It must 13C remembered that Toxteth-park, Kirkdale, and Ever ton are not included in this sum : those localities form a part of the West Derby Union.

York, a lad of about sixteen years of age, was charged with killing a horse, the property of his master.

A strap was buckled tight round its throat, and a bag was fastened on its mouth and nostrils, still more effectually to stop its breath. The lad took out his knife and cut the strap, and next unfastened and removed the bag, after which he pulled a wad of brown paper from one of its nostrils. Assistance was procured, but arrived too late, the horse died before the impediments to its breath ing had been removed many minutes. When the animal was examined a second wad of paper was found in the other nostril.

Ido not feel equal to form an opinion about the economy prac tised at the workhouse; that establishment is, I under stand, under a different control.

Resolved— That the tenant-farmers in the neighbourhood be invited to become members of the association. That the mem bers determine not to employ any tradesman whose prices do not conform with the above scale. That the land owners be requested to give their assistance in furtherance of the object of this association." SUICIDE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—On Saturday week, the inhabitants of Clayton, near Bradford were thrown into a state of great alarm and excitement by the news that a man named John Jessup, a blacksmith, had committed suicide, after having first attempted to murder his wife. It appears that Jessop, who was not more than 24 years old, and a native of Huddersfield, came some time since to reside in Clayton, where he paid his addres ses to a young woman named Robinson, whom he ulti mately married. After the wedding the husband went to reside with his mother-in-law, and there remained for about four months, during which time he could never prevail upon his wife to go to a house which he had pro vided. At length some altercation took place between them, and the result was that Jessop left the house and separated from his wife. From that time up to the day on which the fatal occurrence took place, he made several attempts to effect a reconciliation ; but in those attempts he always failed, in consequence, as it is said, of the inter ference of his wife's mother. It appears that he then formed the horrible determination of putting an end to his own life, and also that of his wife. About a week be fore, he purchased at a shop in Bradford a brace of pocket pistols, which he took home to his lodgings. On Saturday week he loaded both with powder and ball, and went to the house of his mother-in-law, where his wife was living. On his way thither he called at a public house, where he drank three fourpenny.worths of gin. On entering his mother-in-law's house, he expressed to his wife his determination, and at the same time he drew from his pocket one of the loaded pistols, which he delib erately presented, and fired at his wife, whose left breast the ball entered. Instantly afterwards lie drew the other pistol, placed it against the side of his head, blew out his own brains, and fell dead on the floor. The woman sur vived the shot, but no hopes are entertained of her recovery. The coroner's jury returned a verdict that the deceased had shot himself, but they could not tell his frame of mind. ed the policeman to inquire who he was. The stranger, after a great deal of hesitation, said that, hearing that the poor in Gravesend were most shamefully treated, he had determined to come down and make personal inquiries'into the matt,r ; and, in order the better to carry out his intentions, he had disguised himself like a working man. The stor3, was at first dis believed, but it was ultimately found necessary to liberate the " cornmis,ioner," who is said to be a gentleman worth £3o,ooo.—Daily News. David Watson, an intelligent mechanic, who made a very suitable speech at the late protectionist meeting at Swindon, is now in a lunatic asylum, at Bristol. It ap pears that some of his fellow-workmen on the Great Western works, at New Swindon, having always consi dered him as a chartist and a free-trader, were so asto nished at the declaration of his sentiments at the meeting, that they denounced him as a traitor, and commenced a system of annoyance, which so worried and excited him, that he left his work, forsook his family, and proceeded to Bristol, where, in a stare of frenzy, lie assaulted. the po lice, who had much difficulty in securing him, and was eventually, by the advice of the medical men who in spected him by order of the magistrates, conveyed to the lunatic asylum, where he now remains suffering under a violent inflammation of the brain. CURIOUS CASE FOR A LAWYER.—The Elgin Courier says, a very curious case was recently brought before Sheriff Cameron for decision :—" A party in Elgin having a hat `a little the worse for wear,' put it into the hands of a respectable hatter to get it repaired. The ' renovated tile' was promised by a given time, and when th a t ti me arrived it was sent fo r , but was not ready. To call again was the only resource; and, accordingly, calls were regularly made for a few days, but to no purpose. The party having occasion to leave town on business, made a last call on the procrastinating tradesman, and finding matters no farther advanced, went straight to another shop, and purchased a new hat for 10s. This being done, he raised a summons against the hatter for the value of the new hat ; and on parties being heard, the sheriff gave judgment in favour of the pursuer." A VESSEL STRAYED.—On Thursday week, the sloop Cleddy, of Milford, Matthews, sailed from Swansea for Gloucester, with a cargo. of iron. When off the Tuscar she lost her rudder, and the vessel becoming unmanage able the captain and crew, three in number, let go the anchor, and after showing a flag of distress, which was unrecognised by any vessel, although they say there were boats and skiffs in the di s t ance , th ey l e f t the vessel and took to the boat, with the object of proceeding to Swan sea to procure a steam-boat to tow the Cleddy. They pulled about thirty miles in the boat in a rough sea, and were twice nearly swamped, but ultimately arrived at their destination in safety. Having secured the Tartar tug, they immediaiely returned, when to their surprise and consternation, the Cleddy was gone. They remained two or three days without tidings of her, but on Sunday a communication was received in Swansea that the vessel had been towed into Watchet by a Bristol pilot, and given up to the admiralty. In the absence of the crew she had been picked up or boarded by the pilot.—Swansea Herald. DEATH OF A MlSER.—During the last few days consi derable interest has been excited in the neighbourhood of Sadler's-wells, in consequence of the death of Mr. Wm. Crew, hairdresser, 32, Arlington-street, who, though always living in the most penurious manner, is said to have died worth £50,000. The following facts have been stated on good authority :—Deceased came up, a charity boy, in 1790, to try his fortune in London, and was taken as errand boy by Mr. Frederick Hartland, hairdresser, of Sadler's-wells, on whose death he succeeded to the business. He was remarkable for his penurious habits, and after some years married a person as penurious as himself. About a week before his death he disclosed to Mr. Turpin that he was worth nearly £50,000 in scrip in railway companies, houses, &c., which h e p rom i se d t o leave him, and afte r his death the draught of a will to that effect was found. His bed consisted of a few rags. His property, which he made by loans and speculations in the stocks and public companies, is claimed by a cousin, and the case is likely to cause litigation. THE EXHIBITION OF 1851.—BANQUET AT THE MAN. SION HOUSE.—Prince Albert honoured the Lord Mayor of London, with his company to dinner at the Mansion house on Thursday, to meet a party of the promoters of the exhibition of 1851. The chief officers of state, lead ing members of both houses of parliament, the royal commissioners, the principal members of the corporation, and the great city companies, the foreign ministers, and the mayers or chief municipal officers of nearly all the corporate towns in the United Kingdom were pre sent. The mayor of Liverpool was unavoidably absent on account of the assizes. Prince Albert concluded his speech as follows :—" We, her Majesty's Commissioners, are quite alive to the innumerable difficulties we shall have to overcome in carrying out the scheme; but having confidence in you, and in your own zeal and perseverance, at least we require only your confidence, to make us con template the result without any apprehension." The Prince's speech was most excellently delivered, and cre ated a great impression ROMANTIC HISTORY OF THE LATE BRIGADIER CURE TON.—At an entertainment given last week at Shrews bury in honor of Major Edwardes, one of the speakers narrated the following romantic incidents in the life of the late Brigadier Cureton, who, like Major Edwardes, is a Salopian : "There are some incidents in this brave soldier's career de serviag especial notice, conveying a noble example, a moral lesson. btr. Cureton early in life left this neighbourhood an officer in one of those local regiments that were raised for the defence of the country, and in no part of this kingdom more zealously and willingly than in Shropshire. He served with that regiment in Ireland, and there a man of high spirit, and at a time when probably there was less restraint than in these our more staid and sober times, he became involved in some youthful indiscretion, and was in temporary embarrassment; being of a sensitive and high mind, he resolved that his family should rather mourn him as dead than know him as living, and not look upon him with pride. He determined to carve out for himself a new reputation, and most nobly did lie do so. (Applause.) He abandoned his name, entered as a private into the 14th Dragoons, and with that distinguished regiment, bore a. gallant part in many of the battles of the Peninsula. At Ta lavera, Vittoria, Salamanca, and other struggles—where some whose names are here held dear bore a conspicuous part—he evinced most daring gallantry.—(Cheers.) By his great merits he secured the confidence of his superior officers, the confi dence of his fellow-soldiers, a commission most worthily was bestowed upon him, and he rose to the rank of captain—he was ordered to India, and there for thirty years he passed through a brilliant military career—at Bhurtpore, and Ghuznee, at Aliwal, and Sobraon, he contributed greatly to the successes— in short, he became one of the first Cavalry officers of the age (applause); and ultimately, at the field of Rhainnugger, he met a soldier's death at the head of the very regiment lie had joined as a private, and of his merits need I say more than this Salo pian who had entered the ranks, was, at the time when the country lost his services, a Commander of the Bath, an aide de-camp to the Queen, and Adjutant-general to the Bengal army in India; and we have a distinguished precedent for doing honour to his memory, for the veteran chief, Lord Gough, issued a general order for officers of all ranks to follow • his remains to the grave, as a mark of high respect and esteem. and a tablet is about to be reared in this town by the desire of his fellow officers to record his memory."

The White Hart Inn yard, in which the hounds were placed, is close to the court where the sheriff was sitting, and owing to some disturbance in the court, the sheriff was repeatedly obliged to call " Silence !" which he did with his strong and powerful voice in good earnest. The call was heard by his faithful hound Silence, who at length broke through the paling, and rushed into court, where his master, the sheriff, was sitting, with the whole pack at his heels. The assize trumpeter was requested to blow, but his metre was not attended to—the hounds would not quit the court for him, nor did they till their master, the sheriff, called them together, and to the amusement and satisfaction of the court, took them, in the style of a thorough good huntsman, to a place of safety. All the business was suspended till the worthy sheriff returned to the court.—Northampton Mercury.

There is a sound of music en the breeze, And shade and sunshine on green meadows lie The birds pour forth their early melodies, And azure beauty hangs about the sky. The trees are holding verdant promise out, And showing buds and blossoms to the sun, And life and loveliness are all about, By lane and mead, and where bright rivers run The flowers are peeping meekly from the grouud, The silver snowdrop, with its virgin look, Is with its mate the golden crocus found, Giving a charm to many a shelter'd nook. Winter may cast his frosty sceptr n, And wag his beard, and shak is hoary head; We care not now how stern] e may frown, We know his icy influeg hath fled. Nature his ermin'd manile will not wear, She looks with sms upon her emerale RALa ovvia \llll zim,Mll.ll features iresn and fair, Walk o'er theynd in gayest garments drest. All that we s e'and hear cries out "Prepare !" The seas s ever their own warnings bring, And eat t example tells us we must wear A rai nt suited to the coming spring.

THE " CHEAP" SYSTEM.—A tradesman at Manchester, who professed to undersell his neighbours, has been con victed of having a 2oz. weight attached to his scale by means of half an ounce of wax. A placard in the window described him as " the poor man's friend !" The Bishop of Chester intends to hold confirmations, in the course of the ensuing summer, throughout Cheshi re , and in those parts of his diocese in Lancashire, in which confirmations were not held last year. Notice of the days and places will be issued in due time. A private meeting of the spinners of Manchester and its neighbourhood has been held in order to take into consi deration the propriety of introducing an Eleven Hours' Bill, instead of the present fluctuating system of shifts and relays. The meeting was numerous and unanimous in* opinion. A deputation was appointed to proceed to London in support of the measure. SACRILEGE.—On Tuesday se'nnight the parish church of Eccleston, near Chester, was broken into by soma scoundrels, who after getting into the church succeeded in effecting an entrance into the family vault of the Mar quis of Westminster. The coffins of the late Marquis and Marchioness of 'Westminster were despoiled of their plates, ornaments, and coronets ; but no attempt seems to have been made to break into the vestry, where the com munion plate was kept, and which was at that time easily accessible. The coffin plates were silver; the coronets and handles only gilded and plated. THE ST. HELEN'S SAVINGS' BANK DEFALCATION.— On Thursday, at the Town-hall, St. Helen's, William Johnson, sub-actuary of St. Helen's Savings' Bank, who had already, with his brother, been committed on a charge of embezzlement, was brought before Thomas Towneley Parker, Esq. The prisoner was apprehended at his bro ther's house, 'Walton, near Live; pool, early on Thursday. A number of cases, in which Mr. Johnson was charged with having permitted persons to deposit more than the sums legally allowed, were brought forward and proved. The prison.er, on being questioned by the magistrate in the usual way, stated he had nothing to say. He was bound over in his own recognisance of £5OO to appear to answer these charges at the present assizes at Liverpool. HIGH SHERIFF'S PROCESSION.--On Thursday last, the town of Rochdale was the scene of extraordinary display and gaiety, in consequence of a magnificent procession having been got up to escort the High Sheriff, Clement Royds, Esq., from his residence, Mount Faillinge, to the Blue Pitts railway station, en route for the Liverpool as sizes. The procession comprised the Rochdale Yeomanry Cavalry, bands of music, troops of javelin men, two fire engines and attendants, the members of the Independent Order of Oddfellows, the members of the Protestant Asso ciation, and a great number of gentry, tradesmen, &c. About, fifty private carriages and upwards of 100 vehicles were in the cavalcade, which in its route passed under several beautiful triumphal arches. The entire demon stration was replete with enthusiasm and splendour. Two STRINGS TO HER Bow.—Among the notices of marriage given to the registrar of Bolton, and published before the board of guardians, there was last week the novelty of one woman being asked to two men. About four months ago an Irish tailor, named Thomas Reynolds, gave notice of marriage with Margaret Donohue, aged 18 years, an Irish girl living in Cross-street. No marriage, however, took place, and on the 25th of February another tailor, named Michael Shevington, gave notice to be mar ried to the same girl. Reynolds finding there was ano ther Richmond in the field, renewed his notice on the sth instant, resolved to enter the lists manfully against his rival. When told at the registrar's office that he was too late, Margaret having been asked to another man, he coolly replied, " Oh, never mind, the other fellow is only spending his money for nothing." EXPLOSION OF EIRE DAMP.—THIRTEEN LIVES LOST. —Between six and seven o'clock on Saturday week, an explosion of fire damp took place at Messrs. Evans and Turners' colliery, in Haydock, Lancashire, situate about a mile and a half from Newton race ground. The explo sion occurred in what is called the " rock pit," and 13 persons were either smothered or burned to death, some of them being literally burned to a cinder. It appears that eleven of the parties were working in a drift 1,000 yards from the pit eye, without any conductor, when the explosion took place, all of whom were burned to death. Two others were working about 120 yards nearer the pit eye, and they, on hearing the explosion, rushed into the face of the tire, instead of making to the pit eye. The majority of the sufferers have left wives and families. The men were allowed safety lamps, if they thought proper to use them ; but there does not appear to be any restriction against working with naked candles, although the men had to run away from the fire the day before the fatal occurrence took place. SERIOUS FIRE.—On Thursday night, at twelve o'clock, a serious fire broke out in the warehouse of Messrs. Wood and Westhead, smaliware manufacturers, Piccadilly, Man chester. The warehouse and its contents are totally de stroyed. Total loss is estimated at £lOO,OOO, and insur ances have been effected to the amount of £BO,OOO. The warehouse was closed about half an hour before the fire was discovered, and was then, to all appearances, quite safe. The engines were speedily on the spot, but were quite unable to do anything more than, protect adjoining property. The warehouse was constructed in a peculiar Lcknowled, lged the a, vices of no common kind assurance of patronage to be addressed to hire_„ Highness trusts that you will do his friendship and regard for yo a ready co-operator in your too with the least chance of success " Letters, not one or two. b inau - Major Connor's son, the active and exemplary Church, Liverpool, all breathing the e N n " tachment to him on the part of the Duke, and untiring efforts of his royal highness ti 1831, Major Connor ventured to memoriam widow of his former friend in ffehalf of his oi ‘, about to take holy o r d ers.
