WORKHOUSE RELIEF.—On Saturday an inquest was held at the Bell, Church-street, Lambeth, on the body of Sarah Horskin, aged 66 years. It appeared that the de ceased had been in the habit of receiving out-door relief for some time past from her parish ; On Wednesday last she went as usual to the workhouse door, where up wards of 1,000 persons were waiting; the deceased after standing a long time at the door, fell down, and upon being carried into the house was foutid to be labouring under an attack of apoplexy. She died at nine o'clock in the evening. The jury were of opinion that her death was accelerated by being kept so long waiting in such a dense crowd. They returned a verdict of " Natural death," but recommended that some better plan should - n adopted by the guardians for payment of the paupers. FREEMASONRY.—The election of Grand Master will be made at the next Grand Lodge by the masonic body. On Wednesday last the Grand Lodge met in solemn conclave at Freemasons' Hall, when the Earl of Zetland was proposed Grand Master by Brother Peter Thomson (who holds what is termed a " Lolige of Instruction" somewhere in the city,) and the Marquis of Salisbary, K.G., by Brother Captain Mathew, M.P., junior Grand Warden of England. The John Bull supports strongly the claims of the Marquis of Salisbury. and 4presses a fear that " a most imam — "raid& c--"- . reeling animates those who are desirous of conferring the office on the Earl of Zetland, and that the election of the noble earl will be knell of the craft in these realms, for it will evince that to one party alone in politics is the succes sion of Grand Master to descend." DEATH, FROM A PUGILISTIC CONFLICT.—An inquest was held on Saturday last, before Mr. Carttar, coroner for West Kent, on the body of a young man named James Gray, whose death had been the result of a prize fight with a fellow workman. It appeared that the deceased and his opponent had quarrelled and fought in the tap room of a public-house, but were not permitted to decide the fight. Subsequently, deceased had frequently pressed his opponent to fight again ; and ultimately, a meeting .was fixed for two pounds aside, which took place in Romney Manse, the result of which was the death of the deceased, as was supposed from a fall backwards in the course of The contest. The coroner adjourned the in-. quest, for the purpose of procuring the attendance of the seconds. bottle-holder, &c. The survivor, himself, was present at the enquiry, and was complimented for his promptness in surrendering to justice. ARMY PRIZE MONEY."--II is stated in a Parliamentary return of last session, that the unclaimed army prize mo. ney from 1809 to 1842 was £1,060,435 16s. Bd. ; theinte rest - was £215,235 Os. 4d., making together £1,275,670 17s. "Oil. On the credit side there are disbursements, leaving a balance of £4,115 17s. 10-14. The followitrg memorandum appears on the return:—" Although the balance on the account appears to be as above stated, yet there is in the 3 per Cent. Consols £lOO,OOO stock; and in the Bank of England, to the account of the Paymaster- General, £1,038 -Ms. sd. cash, which arises fron 7 ; the in- vestment oeen made in the earliest periods when the funds were very low, and from the amount sold there out from time to time having been when the prices of stock were considerably higher, thus accounting for the difference between the balances stated and the present —To-mor- EMIGRATION TO THE WEST INDIES. (From the Herald.) The advocacy which free emigration into the tropical colonies has always found from the present Ministers, the success of Lord Stanley's bold policy in the Mauritius, and the comparative failure of his more cautious policy in the West Indies—all beget a hope that Government is about to take some decided steps to open to the latter colo nies the most ample facilities for procuring labour, and consequently capital. Already indeed has the Colonial Secretary given encouragement to emigration from our ultra-Gangetic settlements, and, through them, from China to the West Indies ; but such encouragement is far more valuable because ofthe authoritative sanction involved therein to the views we are now promoting,than from any great supplies of labour likely to be had in consequence thereof from these distant parts of the world. Lord Stanley is bound in consistency with his own adopted principles, and with the views taken by the Cabinet on the sugar duties, and in fairness to the West Indies, to extend to them the advantages which have proved so beneficial to the Mauritius. If Cooly emigration to that island be so profitable both to it and to the immigrants, why, under proper regulations, should not Cooly emigration to the West Indies be equally profitable? The greater distance of the latter colonies from India—the Malacca Straits settlements, now opened to the West Indies, are still more distant—will always prove an obstacle to such emi gration to them • but the existen ce o f th at p h ys i cal obsta cle is the best of all reasons why factitious impediments should be removed. , Ensure at first the perfect freedom of the emigration from India—the comfort and the safety of the passage to the West Indies—and the protection of the immigrants when there, and the advantages of their new homes will, in due course, conquer Cooly dislike to long sea voyages, reduce the inequality of the sexes, and connect the East with the West Indies by identity of in terests and frequency of intercourse. It. is from Western Africa the West Indies may be most easily supplied with labour; the shortness of the voyage, the smallness of its cost, the general identity of race between African immigrants and the black popula. tion, and the moral advantages to be remitted back to Africa, are all strong arguments in favour of relying on Africa for West Indian labour. Hitherto such immigra tion has only been permitted from Sierra Leone, and has even there been clogged with requirements which are even more obstructive to its success than the indifference of the local authorities and the interference of ignorant and prejudiced missionaries. An effort was also made to pro cure emigrants from the Gambia ; but it was seemingly conducted in the belief that the vessel despatched thither would find hundreds of negroes, with their bundles packed, waiting on the shore eager to step into the ship on its arrival ; and because they were not so found, it, was not allowed to be repeated. But two of the Sierra Leone requirements would alone account for the small number of labourers procured therein, had the govern ment emigration agent been properly supported—they are, the proportion of females and the length of residence in the colony required. Equality of sexes is most desirable; but render male emigrants comfortable and prosperous in the West Indies, and their wives and-daughters will soon follow their fortunes thither, and the women will become as anxious to emigrate as the men and thereafter accom pany them at once. Freedom of emigration is indispensa ble ; but such freedom cannot require a six weeks' resi dence by an intending emigrant in Sierra Leone, where he cannot find work and must starve as a condition precedent to seeking happiness and employment in the West Indies. Such a requirement at Sierra Leone is not merely posi tively cruel when complied with ; but it practically amounts to an absolute prevention of the emigration of all but the liberated Africans, and it hinders that settle ment from becoming the medium of intercourse and civilisation between the West Indies and tire interior of Western Africa pate the slave trade upholdi he formerly denounced :ements based u on .figur nd ex ROYAL ANECDOTE.—Her Majesty's generous sympa thy with the too-frequent misfortunes and consequentun provided circumstances of literary men has beeri often warded for her inspection course, promptly obeyed after made to that her M.iP first on the onster" I - o — n - ; of years be ING A N t theM Bess as solicitors under the sty! , on I pursued by the parties to get at the circu - mstances,chris: flan name, handwriting, &c., of the party—a lady—in whose name the money was vested.

THE STATE BED AND BED-ROOM AT BELVOIR CASTLE.—The magnificent state bed made expressly for her Majesty's use during the Queen's visit at Belvoir, was unique for its gorgeous embellishments, and the splendour and taste evinced in its structure and hangings.

The hangings and draperies were composed of the richest silk darnasg, colour Eau de Nile. trimmed with exquisitely _finished fringe in accordance with the draperies. The colour of the interior was quite in harmony; and the canopy terminated at the centre with the heraldic roses of the houses of York and Lancaster.

QUAKER BRIGHT'S CHARITY. mmencin CIVIS TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR, —lt appears that another of those meetings, which, whatever character they may assume, would be so inimical in their effects, to those important national in terests, British Agriculture, and British Colonies, took place, on Wednesday last, in this town, when Mr. Cob den, with what appears to minds of ordinary calibre, the greatest inconsistency, whilst 'representing most forcibly that the manufacturing artizans, &c., were in a state of the zreatpmt nrctenarit, 4:. operatives were suffering from abject poverty, drew the illation, that the business of the latter ought to be yet more depressed, in order to promote the interests of the former; for, if the fortn3r are in so palmy and flourishing a state, why should they seek to still further add to the gloomy condition of the latter : which arises from their not having protection enough, although Mr. C. rather il logically argues, that, because insufficient protection does not produce perfect prosperity, even that small measure of protection should be taken away, and so render the dis tress still deeper ; for, admitting that the agriculturist might possibly, for a time, obtain his own bread cheaper if foreign corn was admitted duty free : it is out of the na ture of things for any operatives long to thrive 'whilst the very business they are employed in is in a state of depres, sion, for, however, their expenditure may be lessened their income must suffer in a greater degree. human ker Yours, &c., BRITANNICUS Liverpcol, December 9, 1843. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SlR,—Having noticed several paragraphs in your paper respecting the disturbed state of the British Iron Com panys works, in this neighbourhood; and knowing your paper always to be open to the exposure of wrongs, I am induced, through its medium, to bring before the public an evil which has long existed in this neighbourhood-- the desecration of the Sabbath—in hope that some of our Christian societies may be induced to turn their attention not only to this, but to all the iron districts. Much is said at the various meetings of the different religious so cieties respecting the degraded state of heathen nations, and statements are putforward which make a man's blood run cold,—whilst in this Protestant land, can it be be lieved that there is almost as much work done here on the Sabbath as on any other day of the week? men, horses, waggons, and engines are all seen in active employment ; and upon inquiring why it is done, you are told the works cannot go on without doing so. Such is the demoralising state of this country, that the Sabbath is not in any way looked upon as a day of holy rest. How, then, can any thing besides discontent and rebellion be expected from men whose minds are reduced below the level of the brute creation, by the want of that religious elevation which, thanks be to God, has raised England into its present proud position amongst nations? Those who use their means, as well as their time, in propagating the Gospel, and inducing the heathen to enter within its pail, I would that some of them would give this grievance their serious attention, for no heathen nation can be in a more degraded condition; and can it be otherwise, when, for the sake of filthy lucre, men's bodies are made to work to the pre _ ;tance of others )f 7s. 6d. The nt for trial INTERESTING MEETING.—On Friday evening last a very interesting meeting of the female teachers of the in fants' and girls' schools connected with the Church of England Schools in Liverpool and the neighbourhood, and also the Corporation Schools, took place in St. Mary's girl s ' sc h oo l , Ed ge -hill. The Rev. H. H. Higgins, the inspector of schools in this place, arranged the meet ing for the furtherance of kindly intercourse amongst the teachers, and had also engaged the services of several clergymen to address them. The room was very hand somely decorated. Being carpetted and curtained, and the walls being hung with flags, evergreens, and a por trait of the bishop of the diocese, it presented the appear ance of a very ample saloon. Nine tea tables were set out, the families in the neighbourhood very kindly lending tea services for the occasion, and a piano was pl ace d at one end of the room . One hundred and two persons were nesent, of whom sevent assistar -four were teache r s an d th e i r and fourteen clergymen.

A NEW .HUT NOT LEGITIMATE MODE OF. GETTING A LIVING.—A boy named John Atherton, was yesterday placed before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of having stolen a piece of beef from a butcher's standing, and the case was proved. The urchin on being asked what he had to say, remarked—" My father, sir, was out of work, and we were obliged to do something for a living!" He was committed for a month to the &use of Correction. THEFT IN A PUBLIC MOUSE.—On Saturday a young man named James Mason, was charged at the Police court with abstracting from the pocket of a man, in Mills's public house, corner of Eldon-place, a pound canister of gunpowder, and a quantity of percussion caps valued at 10s. The complainant, on going for a consta ble, was threatened to be struck by the prisoner. The articles were recovered. The prisoner said he merely did it for a lark, and was afterwards supplied with liquor in the louse. Ile was committed for trial. FATAL ACCIDENT.—Late on Saturday evening, a most melancholy accident occurred to the wife of Mr. Brown, residing in Mason-street. Mrs. Brown retired to bed, leaving Mr. Brown down stairs ; when, much to Mr. Brown's surprise, in the course of a few minutes he heard the noise of some one falling down stairs : he rushed out of the room, and found at the bottom of the stairs his wife in a complete state of stupefaction. Every means pos. Bible were resorted to, and for some few hours Mrs. Brown seemed to recover considerably, but early on Sunday evening she expired from the injuries she received in the fall. The body awaits a coroner's inquest. THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—The performances during the last week at this spacious and elegant place of amusement, both as regards those of the stage and the ring have been of a superior, quality, and have been received with unmixed gratification by crowded audiences. The amusements opened with the " Battle of Austerlitz," in which Mr. Watkins Burroughs (whose stage company are engaged,) afforded an admirable portraiture of Napoleon, and all his peculiarities, and his tact combined with feel ing in winning the affections of his soldiery. The horse manship was for the most part excellent, and varied to a considerable extent every iiiiht. Several of the riders, both male and female, were loudly cheered. One lady we noticed in particular, in a black velvet riding habit, who rode and danced her fine white steed with astonishing elegance, keeping time to the music. This was a chaste and beautiful act of horsemanship, which would have come Diana Vernon herself. The new moveable stage - new circle are a won d er f u l i mprovement in the bona .

T ourna i re cons i sts, we l earn, of nearly 50 fine animals ; hi s f ore i gn eques t r i ans are a l so very 4 nu merous, and he can produce, it is said, nearly 500 changes of performance. One of his young men, (whose name we did not learn,) is a remarkably active and bold rider, and reminded us of Ducrow in his better days. The French clown is truly an original, and elicits roars of laughter by his tricks and eccentricities. Last night for the first time was produced. as a stage piece, with horses, "The Bri gand:" Mr. Watkins Burroughs ably sustained his ori- Linal character when the piece was fi rs t pro d uce d i n Lon ondon, of A lesandro Mascaroni, with great vigour and effect. The horsemanship was again varied and excellent, and a laughable afterpiece kept up the good humour of the audience aria the ratepayers had been espe cially called upon to attend, by a placard extensively cir culated throughout the parish, and signed " H enry Winch," Seacomb e . This document was to the effect that the school had an estate of £l5O a year, which wry likely to increase in proportion to •the .- rowin g po tion ; that the i ns ti tut i on was nevertheless in a state of deplorable deficiency, the property being held without title, and the extension of its value being thus prevented, —added to which, the affairs of the school were without efficient control, so that it had become almost useless. The writer went on to say, that he had, in order to re medy these evils, instituted proceedings in Chancery, on behalf of the parishioners at large, under the advice of competent legal authorities; but he did this in a friendly spirit, and that he did not attribute blame to the present managers of the school. He concluded by expressing a hope that he would be allowed to proceed without inter- Tence, and rather be co-operated with, in his views of ularging the utility of the institutic Lae Hector, having taken the chair, a report was ead by Mr. North, to the effect that the committee ap pointed on Easter Tuesday last, to negociate with the parties in the resolution referred to, with a view to pre vent a suit in Chancery, bad done their utmost to effect an amicable arrangement, but had finally failed in the attempt, in consequence of the differing views of the par. ties interested ; that they were still of opinion that the suit should be avoided, from the expense that would arise and the dissension it would create ; and that, as they trusted all parties agreed that the common object was to give a sound religious and secular educat:--- ties inte don to e chil ,ren at th e sc h oo l , they earnestly recommended t all par ties to unite for that object, and to present a petition to the Lord Chancellor, so that the arrangements they may make might be carried out.—This report was carried una nimously.—The Chairman said he had received a letter. dated the 6th in s t an t_ ern....

HENRY PHILLIPS'S CONCERT AT THE ASSEMBLY Rooms.—On Tuesday evening last, this splendid singer delighted a numerous and fashionable audience with a se lection of the old classic melodies of England. To those who have heard Philips little more commendatory need be said than that he was in first-rate voice, and sang in his usual chaste style. To those who have not we can only say, embrace the first opportunity of hearing one of the first bass voices of his time, and the best of old Eng lish ballad singers. In the first part, the gems were an Irish melody, " Och, the Lakes of Killarney," and " Tom Bowling." The latter was magnificently sung. In the second, " The Lily on Liquid Roses,"—a chaste and beau tiful Bacchanalian song, drew down an enthusiastic en core, as indeed would many others had the audience not been restrained by a sense of the arduous nature of the task which the singer was imposing upon himself. " Shall I, wastynge in despaire,"was also enthusiastically received, as well as the concluding song of " The Old English Gen tleman." which no living singer, in our opinion, can sing like Philips. If we may be permitted, however, to give to one who has shewn such fine taste in the selection of this evening, a hint for his future course, we should say let him, at his next concert in Liverpool, favour us with some of those beautiful modern ballads, which he liarly his own by his beautiful singing at I made pecu- few years ago Days"—" F Diavolo, &r " Fart When 'e mention cal taste of Liv , 00l Is no might be were study lwre and in most places, a first-rate performance of km popular music tells best with an audience.

COMMITMENTS AT THE POLICE COURT YESTERDAY. —Two men, Lewis and Taylor, were committed for trial, on a charge of stealing a quantity of lead pipes, from the premises of a Mr, Sherwood. They had placed nearly IA cwt. of the article in readiness to be carried off.— John Roach, a man employed as a grate finisher, by Mr. Bennett, at his extensive works in Sir Thomas's-build ings, was charged by his employer with stealing two ham mer heads, which were found in his coat pocket, on the premises. He stated that he did not intend to steal them, but merely to put handles into them. The prisoner had been seventeen years in one employ, and latterly, ten weeks with Mr. Bennett. He was committed for trial.— A man named John Hoben, was also committed for trial, on a charge of having knocked down Mr. John Wilkin son, on Saturday night, and with the assis who came up, robbed him of the sum ( complainant afterwards followed the pr land-road and had him secured.
