THE. DIVISIONS. IN said that before the standing orders were 1 to have a clear understanding upon a n impression had been that nothing iered as carried in the council when there was `lle members present in favour of it. It in their recollection that when the Education Com ,ad been chosen, sixty members were present, twen it of whom voted for Mr. Harbord, twenty-six for ..., and six for Mr. Aikin. He then thought that Aikin had only six votes in his favour, the question ie between Mr. Harbord and Mr. Lloyd. He wished what the standing order, or what the law was, in ase, should it occur again ; because, although twenty -nt the majority of sixty, Mr. Harbord had been he wished . His oc ajority of Ir. Llov 1K admitted that if there was to be a re- election between the two, the votes given for the third party might turn the scale. If, for instance, there were twenty for one party, sixteen for another, and five for a third, the one having the twenty would stand the highest upon the numbers; yet, if there was to be another election between the party having the twenty and the party having the sixteen, the five votes thrown away might be in favour of the one having the sixteen. In point of law, if three persons were put up for one office, and that there were twenty votes for one, sixteen for another, and five for a third, the one having the twenty would he legally carried. This had occurred in cases of election for members of parliament. There was no going over the ground a second time when one only was to be elected ; and therefore, if there was to be any alteration of the rule on the subject in the council, it should be made matter for a new standing order. He recollected only one instance in which it had been proposed that there should be a re-election between the two parties having the largest num bers, and that eras in the election of a mayor; but the result in the first trial in that case was such that there was no occa sion to go into it a second time. Mr. UOLTON said that a p erson h av i ng only twenty votes in his favour might be elected a member of committee, pro vided four candidates should happen to be nominated, and that the large number of sixty-four members should happen to be present. Under such circumstances he begged to give notice to the following effect, that no person should be elect ed to any office who suould not have the votes of a majority of the members present in his favour. Mr. Mr.u.on. wished to put another question lo the town clerk, namely, whether it had not been irregular to allow Mr. Aikin's name to he put forward on the occasion in ques tion. The seventh standing order set forth that whets an was made no second amendment could be taken to consideration until the first should have been disposed When Mr. Harbord had been proposed, an amendment moved, and then another member jumped up and pro a second amendment; therefore he thought the rule - I together violated in that instance. CLEILIC was of opinion that the seventh stand .eferred to amendments on resolutions, and not as ner one, four, five, or seven parties should be pro as candidates. The notice, however, which Mr. Bol on had given w a s perfectly reaso na bl e , an d the law would make valid any standing order to such an effect. Ihe 'Town-' Mr. BIRICE: . rT referred to the election of a tax-collector, 11,ich had taken place a few days before, in which three arties had gone to the poll, and the highest was declared Lected. lie thought this case precisely similar to the one ) which Mr. Bolton had alluded Mr. Asst r said that in all popular elections the rule was Jerk had laid it down ; but it was never so in a 'erative assembly ..rOWN-CLERK said that the council might adhere to anding order, or determine that the election should )lace in the manner suggested by Mr. Bolton, because Mice given by the latter was a reasonable one. EVANS.—Then we can make a special case of it when ease ? e ToWN-CLERK.—Yes. conversation here dropped, TUE MUNICIPAL ACT. ELL proposed thceoiie following motion, of which he , tic a in n e :—" Thatbe appointed to t a ke ation the various discre tt pa e n and to cies in the muni c ip a l • : cis, and to make suchrepresentations sures as may appear advisable rrn for th e amen d- Its."

(Her) It had been asked by Ur. G. H. Lawrence at the time he ed to se ;:0,;,4;.! i,is qr:tio or tnotlo, What had LIVAUP.OI to Ma w i t h i t ," 118 (Mr, .13.) had gained from the town-clerk a piece of information which bore nu this question—namely, that during the six years which those municipal acts had been in operation, he had had occasion to submit to counsel 50 disputed cases, at a cost of 500 guineas. (Hear, hear.) And if he (Mr. B.) went into the Revision Court, and looked at the melancholy proceedings which they had had there, arising out of the ambiguous terms in which the qualification was - I —and if he looked at the 'so ' be many w. mid been pu upon the parish books who never could have any claim on the parish whatever but for certain circumstances, he would ask had Liverpool anything to do with these things. He thought she had a great deal to do with them. (Hear.) The govern ment could only receive through the municipal bodies the requisite information ; and why should they withhold it, see ing that they had suffered so much from the ambiguous words in question ? He thought it was their duty to submit the discrepancies, and to call on the government to revise them. If it were asked why go to this expense, he in reply thought he had proved that the expense, in order to save ex pense, ought to be incurred in order that they might not have those unfortunate conflicts which they had had hitherto. He regretted that his friends on the opposite side, when they had the power, did not bring the subject forward, but that was no reason why the conservatives should not do their duty in this matter. Mr. AIKIN rose to second the motion, but in doing so he begged to set Mr. Bushell right, because his (Mr. A.'s) party had moved in the matter. He should take credit to himself for having uttered a suggestion which Mr. Bushell had taken up, namely, that instead of expending the corpo rate funds in other ways, he thought it would become the council to expend them in endeavouring to remove the dis crepancies and contradictions which were upon the Mee of the act. (Hear.) He begged to be allowed to explain what was well known to many—that perhaps there never was a more perfect bill produced than the present bill, but that in its progress through the Lords—certain noble lords—(oh ! oh !)—he was going to show how the contradictions had arisen—in its passage through the Lords various amendments and propositions were stated, which were so much calculated, in the mind of the mover, to disgust those who were carrying the bill through partiament, that it be withdrawn. But those who had the management of the bill said they would take it with all its defects. Had it been referred back to the com mons it would have been lost altogether, and then the mem bers for the several wards in Liverpool would never have met in that council to congratulate each other. (A laugh.) Va rious discrepancies and contradictions had in consequence arisen, and it was with the view of restoring the bill to its original purity that he seconded the motion. He was sorry that various clauses had been introduced into the act which it was not in their power to remedy, and which denuded the Liverpool and other councils of what they ought to have in their various localities. After expressing his regret that the power the council heretofore possessed i►► the matter of church patronage had been taken from it by clauses which could not be remedied, he concluded by expressing the plea sure he felt in seconding the resolution. Mr. G. H. LA WREN said that the present subject had been before a committee heretofore—that they had done all they could to make such alterations in the bill as they thought desirable, and that nothing had resulted. Be thought they should be cautious in interfering with the legislature, for the council was not a legislative body after all. (Hear, hear.) He felt that they should be getting into party politics by touching matters of the kind. He did not deny the defects of the bill, on the contrary there were many points in it which he would wish to see rectified. But he was not quite sure that the legislature would let the municipal bodies settle those points. He wished that the power should be left in the hands of the council of settling contested elections ; but he had doubts whether such a power would be given. Under all the circumstances he thought it would be desirable to see what the government would do in the matter in the first instance. Mr. ISAAC HOLMES rose for the purpose of stating, that the very circumstance which Mr. Aikin said he deplored— namely, that of taking away the power of appointing to the church, was a measure which of all others he (Mr. H.) highly approved of. If in the city of Dublin the council had the appointment of the clergy to the church establishment of the country, when three-fourths of the members for Dub lin were directly opposed to the established religion of the realm, what would be the consequence ? The MAYOR interrupted. lie thought Mr. Holmes ought to confine himself to the subject of the motion. Mr. HOLMES asked why Mr. Aikin had not been stopped. The MAYOR admitted that the question was a fair one, and said that Mr. Aikin had gone perhaps too far. He con fessed that be had been wrong in not detecting that Mr. Aikin was wandering from the subject. Mr. Hotmes expressed a hope that some alteration would be made in the act which would have the effect of preventing persons from being placed on the registry who were unable to pay their own taxes. (Hear, hear.) Mr. EVANS hoped the council would endeavour to get as much legislative power into their own hands as they possibly could. Mr. SANDBACH trusted the committee would extend their inquiry to the annual recurrence of elections in the town, involving a fortnight's interruption of business, idleness, dissipation, and a disorganization of society. Mr. EARLE admired Mr. Sunbach's modesty in coming forward on the present occasion on such a subject, and asked why he had not done the same thing two or three years before. Mr. SANDBACII.—I wonder you didn't complain of it two or three years ago. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The motion was then put and carried unanimously, and the following members were appointed upon the committee: —Messrs. Bolton, Evans, Aikin, Lloyd, Sandbach, Birkett, H. Lawrence, Crooke, and Bushell. THE EDUCATION QUESTION The MAYOR said the next subject upon the paper was the motion of which Mr. Councillor Bolton had given notice, namely— " That it be an instrruction to the Education Committee, that the children of Roman Catholics shall not, iu the corpo ration schools, be required to use or read any book whatever against which their parents or guardians may have conscien tious objections." Mr. BOLTON rose and said, that, when be gave notice of the instruction to the committee, just read by the mayor, it was under the strong impression that there were members of the Education Committee whose prejudices were so strong and so pertinatious in expressing their opinions, that a ma jority of the committee were not to be free to act upon their own convictions. Under that impression, he had given the notice. He should very briefly state that the schools were supported from the surplus fundsof the corporation, and that that the municipal law laid do wn ru l es , very distinct ly, for the appropriation of that surplus. There were two ways only in which that surplus could be employed, and those ways were clearly defined, namely, for the benefit of the inhabitants, and the improvement of the town. Now as Catholics were a large portion of the community of this town, and were inha bitants, he maintained that any surplus funds to be ex pended in education, could only be employed in such a way that that class of the community should have their fair share —not only their share, indeed, but, inasmuch as they were poorer than the rest f the community, they should have more than their share of that advantage. He would further state that whatever rules might be adopted, he trusted they would be made with regard to the conscientious convictions of the community, and that conscience should, in no case, be violated. Since he came into that room, it had been inti mated to him, that there was a desire, upon the part of the Education Committee, not to forego these considerations ; and induced to believe, as he was, that their case would be considered by the committee, he should not persevere in the motion of which he had given notice : but leave it to the committee, and when their report was furnished, he should then take such opportunities of discussing that report as circumstances might seem to justify. Before he sat down lie would just throw out the hint that as this question very greatly agitated the public, it might be expedient and proper before the council came to discuss it, that the report of the committee should be printed for the use of the members of the council. At present he withdrew the motion of which he had given notice. Mr. BusnELL asked the Mayor whether Mr. Bolton had power to withdraw his notice. Mr. BOLTON. — Certainly • I have not made it. Mr. SANDS said he might state on behalf of the committee that they did not thank Mr. Bolton for the high compliment he had paid to the committee; that notwithstanding what he had said they would act independently according to their own view of the case, and not be dictated to by any individual. (Hear, hear.) He thought it only right to state that much for himself and the rest of the committee. He was surprised that Mr. Bolton should have cast such aspersions upon inde pendent gentlemen upon the committse. Mr. EARLE was proceeding to make some observations upon the conduct of Mr. David Hodgson, in the course of which he said he could enumerate many conservative gentle men in the council who had expressed their regret that he was upon the committee or in the council ; when Mr. COOPER called Mr. Earle to order, there being no question before the council. Mr. EARLE protested that he was in order. The MAYOR said, that as there was no motion before the council Mr. Alderman Earle was out of order; the subject had been referred to the committee, and when their report was made would be the time for Mr. Earle to speak. Mr. BUSHELL said this motion of Mr. Bolton had created considerable discussion in the town, and had given rise to the question as to how - The MAYOR repeated that there was no question before the council, and decidedly Mr. Bushell had no right to go on. Mr. JOHN SMITH.—I imagine I cannot be heard to-day Mr. Mayor? The MAYOR.—Certainly not. Many members then rose from their seats, and in a few minutes afterwards the council separated. A MAYOR WITHOUT A VOTE IN THE COUNCIL.—At the election of the Mayor of Davenport, Mr. W. P. Billing, was chosen, and immediately afterwads rejected as an alderman, or in other words, ejected from the council. The council may if they think fit, select a mayor from among the burgesses, and therefore, Mr. Billing can preside over the council, but he cannot vote, being neither alderman nor councillor. THE VILLAGE CHURCH.—The villagers have a feeling of property in their own parish church. Generally venerable from extreme antiquity, and firm as the hills around it, it stands as a part of their native land, and to endure with the country to all ages. It appeals, moreover, to all the affec tions, by motives which penetrate the inmost heart ; bring ing before the worshipper his birth, his domestic happiness and duty, the memory of departed friends, and his own death. Within, he sees the font at which he was baptized, and the altar where he knelt at his marriage; around it he contem plates the graves of his friends, and the spot which one day will probably be his own. These are charms which speak to every bosom. Every one also feels that a picture of English scenery is incomplete without the old grey tower, or the vil lage spire —upon which the eye rests as the lovliest picture of the landscape. And who can bear the distant bells in the cheerfulness of a summer's morning, without feeling their soothing power enter his very soul ?-oaeller on the Church. TITHES AND THE IRISH PAPISTS.—If the obligation to pay tithes to the Irish church be the great grievance under which the Roman Catholics are weighed down (which I deny), and if this be the only obstacle which stands in the way of restoring peace and tranquillity to Ireland, as Lord Alvanley infers, a much cheaper and more effectual means of ac complishing its removal can be devised than the payment of the priests, recommended by his lordship. There are in Ire land, I believe, about four thousand priests who, on a moderate calculation, for confessions, marriages, burials, extreme unction, masses, months' minds, churching of women, priests' coin, &c., receive about £600,000, thus affording to each a salary of about £l5O per annum. In this sum salaries of bishops are not included. Take, it however, at £600,000, and large as it is, who is there that would not be willing to sacrifice it, provided there were no surrender of principle in volved therein, if by doing so peace and harmony would be secured to Ireland ? A much less sum, however, will be re quired, if the greivauce of tithe be all that is necessary to be removed. I have said that the amount of tithe, payable to the clergy of the Established Church, is about £300,000, half the sum necessary to be paid to the Roman Catholic priests, supposing they would be satisfied with it. Let lands be pur chased by the government at every opportunity, producing a yearly amount equal to that of the tithes ; and according as the land is purchased, let the proceeds be applied to the use of the clergy, in lieu of their tithes, the expense will then come gradually off the state, without suddenly depreciating the value of money or increasing that of land ; tithes will be extinguished in a few years in name and reality, and the pro sumed g r i evance, arising from the obligation to pay them, will be comp l etely and for ever removed. The reason for vesting the money in land must be obvious, it will give the property a character of security and permanance which it otherwise could not have, and will cause the income of the clergy to fluctuate according to the changes of the times.— Lord Roden 's O beervaticnts an Ireland. mmiEy MARKET AND ITI' INTELLICIENCP WEDNILODAY EviLNING Them! is no alteration to repoit — iniheliome Stocks t~4t the turn in Consols whi c h c l os ed sellers at 88„ instecd of buyers as yesterday. Bank Stock 165 to 6. Exchequer Bills 10s, to _l2s. premium. Foreign Securities generally remain as before with very slight variations. Spanish Active with the Coupons were quoted 21 to Portuguese Five per Cents. 33 to 1-, the Three per Cents. 191 to 20. Dutch Two-tu►d-a-llalt per Cents. 51,k to 2k. the Five per Cents. 33 to 4. Belgian 100 A to lk. Brazilian 63 to 5. Mexican improved to 26k to 3. Colombian 203 to g. Railway Shares were without alteration. Some excite tnent was caused in the market by the reported disappear ance of a party officially connected with the Brighton Rail way Company, who is understood to have been speculating largely in the shares on the wrong side of the account, and consequently therefore turns out a defaulter. Amidst the va rious rumours in circulation it is not easy exactly to ascer-' tain whether, as said in some quarters, the company are likely to be sufferers by the event. The London and County Bank, which has been rather unlucky in the matter of fail ures of late, is mentioned as likely to be losers to the extent of nearly £1,200, and Smith, Payne and Smiths £l,OOO by the defaulter on banking account. There has been rather a large business done to-day in the general produce markets, at prices not materially different from those obtained yesterday. There were auctions to-day, at the house of the Hudson's Bay Company, of the following articles—viz., 1,090 lbs Castorum ; 2,329 lbs Isinglass ; 707 lbs Sea-horse Teeth ; 12,316 lbs Bed Feathers ; 2,414 gallons of Oil ; 3,512 Buf falo and Deer Tongues, &c. ; and 933,915 Goose and Swan Quills, and Wings. The Castorum, in bond, in 21 lots, sold at 15s ;o 24s ; some of the Isinglass at 4s 4d to 4s Bd, and the Sea-horse Teeth at 3s 10d to 4s per lb ; some Caviare at 5s to 15s; the Oil in 7 lots, at £32 to £39 15s per tun; the Buffalo Tongues at 16s Gd to 20s 9d, the highest being the Y. F. mark, for small 15s, and for Bosses 12s ; and the Deer at Ss 9d to 9s 3d per dozen. The Bed Feathers, in 60 lots, ranged from is 2d to is sd, and Partridge from 8d to 9d per lb. The Goose Quills went mostly at 96 6d to lOs Gd, but damaged sorts at 5s to 5s 3d, Dutch at 3s 6d, Swan at 67s to 80s, and York Fort Goose as high as 34s 9d per thou sand. The Wings sold at 3W per pair. There are farther sales of Tea declared, and the market is very quiet. Company's Congou is 9d to Is 9jd perlb, cash. COURT CIRCULAR-WEDNESDAY This morning his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by General Sir Edward Bowater and Mr. George Edward Anson, enjoyed several hours' shooting in the preserves, near Sandpit Gate. _ _ In the afternoon ' her Majesty rode out in a pony ph ae t on , driven by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The Countess of Gainsborough, the Earl of Warwick, Lady Caroline Cocks, and the Hon. Sarah Mary Cavendish followed in a pony carriage and four ; and General Sir Edward Bowater, Col. Arbuthnot, and General Sir William Lumley, attended on horseback. The royal party entered the park by Spittal road, and returned to the castle by Sheet-street. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard, walked on the Terrace this afternoon. Mr. George Edward Anson and the Hon. Mrs. Anson will have the honour of dining at the castle this evening. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, had a dinner party on Tuesday evening, at her residence, Glouces ter House. The company included their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, and their Serene High nesses the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar, the Duke of Saxe Meiningen, Prince Ernest of Hesse Philippsthal, and Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar. Lady Augusta Somerset was in waiting on the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Baron de Spesshardt (chamberlain to the Duke of Saxe Meiningenl was in waiting on his serene highness. Her Serene Highness the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar left Marlborough house at a quarter past four o'clock yes terday morning, to embark at the Custom House, for the Continent. His royal highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Col. Jones, left town yesterday morning, for his residence at Kew. His serene highness the Duke of Saxe Meiningen, attended by his chamberlain, Colonel the Baron de Spesshardt, took his departure from Marlborough-house, shortly before twelve o' clock, yesterday, for the continent. Mr. George Nicholls had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, yesterday, at his official residence in Down ing -street. Despatches from the governor of the Mauritius were re ceived, yesterday, at the Colonial-office. THE EXCHEQUER BILL AFFAIR-Mg. RAPALLO (Front yesterday's Morning Herald.) " MR. RAPALLO.—The Recorder was obliged to discharge Mr. Rapallo at the close of the session last night, but he had not left Newgate half an hour ere an inspector of police went there with a warrant to intercept his egress, or lodge a de tainer upon another charge connected with the Exchequer Bill forgeries, but the bird had flown. A good deal of sur prise was expressed that the bill was not submitted to the in vestigation of the grand jury, as forty-nine witnesses were in attendance to give evidence." [We were scarcely prepared for so early, and so emphatic a commentary, as the above paragraph supplies, on the view we yesterday took, (exclusively we believe,) of the singular doubts and difficulties in which the trial and condemnation of Mr. Beaumont Smith had involved all the aspects of the Ex chequer Bills forgery affair. Mr. Phillips, as we observed, was very earnest in pressing Rapallo's immediate liberation ; and the learned gentlemen only discharged the duty he owed to his client in that appeal. But with what view Rapallo could have been admitted approver for the Crown, i fno use was to be made of his evidence, (and it was known that Smith would plead " guilty ;")—or of what use his evidence could be, if it was not wanted for the purposes of the Crown,—that should entitle him to avoid the " dock ;" we were, it seems, justified in declaring ourselves unable to comprehend, if the prosecution of Smith did not leave other delinquents, and other disclosures, yet to he produced. Has accident or ne cessity compelled the new proceeding against Rapallo? We shall watch the denoutnent of this affair with great curiosity. Up to a late hour last night no account had reached us of his capture.] STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER Dxc. S.—The depression in this market continues without the slightest relief, and prices of goods and yarn generally continue gradually to decline. There is some demand for very low counts of water twist for the Levant, and perhaps a little more inquiry for good 27-inch printing cloth for the United States ; but generally the market is exceedingly flat, and sales are effected with diffi culty, even at lower prices. We regret to hear, that the last advices from New South Wales announce a number of serious failures at Sydney, where business is represented as being in a most wretched condition. There has also been a failure of a Brazilian house at Rio, the engagements of which are from £30,000 to £40,000; and we regret to learn, that a portion of the loss will fall upon houses in this town. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, DEC. 6.—There has been a better demand for flannels to-day, but no improvement in prices. The wool market still remains dull, and prices stationary. HUDERSFIELD MARKET, DEC. 7.—This was a more ani mated market than for some weeks past, there being more buyers than usual. The demand was very varied ; but orders were exceedingly small, and prices drooping, or, at any rate, not improved. In fancy goods, a few favoured articles are doing well; but the great mass of tradesmen have to struggle hard against the almost unparalleled long depression in the staple articles. Wools are firm in price ; and warehouse business is a fair average for the season. The Great Western has crossed and re-crossed the Atlan tic for three years without once missing her day or meeting the slightest accident. SHOCKING DEATH OF THE HON. LUCY FORTESCUE.— WC have to record the melancholy death of this lady, which took place at Brighton on Friday morning last, in consequence of injuries caused by her clothes taking fire. The circum stances under which it took place will be gathered from the following evidence, which was given at an inquest on the body, held at the City of Hereford Inn, Brighton, on Satur day, before Mr. J. F. Gell, coroner, and a respectable jury : Sarah Cooper deposed—l was maid to the deceased, who re sided in Charlotte -street, Brighton. She was a single lady, and was in her 78th year. On Thursday morning, the 23d of November, between 9 and 10 o'clock, I had dressed her all but her upper garments, and then left her, and retired into an adjoining room, as was my custom, until she washed. In about half an hour I heard a noise as of the stamping of feet. I opened the door immediately, and found the deceased in the middle of the room enveloped in flames. I went up to her and got a carpet and put it over her, and then rang the bell. I screamed loudly. The two female servants and the nurse came up immediately. The servants threw water upon her and extinguished the flames, after which we put her to bed. I then discovered that her left arm and thigh, and round her throat, were much burnt. She was not able to speak much. She asked me how it happened, but I was un able to tell her. There was a fire in the room, but there was no guard on it. The flames appeared to me to have caught the lower part of her clothes. Medical assistance was imme diately obtained, but she died about half-past two o'clock on the night of Thursday. I had been accustomed to leave her in her room with a fire in it. I had left her gown before the fire to warm it. Mr. R. P._ Phillpotts, surgeon, Devonshire place,' Brighton, deposed—l was called upon to attend the deceased on the morning of Tuesday, the 23d ult., in conse quence of her having been burnt. Being out, my assistant went before me. On my arrival I found him dressing wounds of considerable magnitude on the left arm of the deceased. Her chin, throat, and left thigh were also very much burnt. I continued to attend her up to her death. She died of fever, the consequence of injuries to the skin from the burning. She was unable to give any account as to how it happened. The jury immediately returned a verdict of " Accidental death." The deceased was sister to the late and aunt to the present Lord Fortescue.—Standard. DEATHS AT , LEIGH SINTON FROM POISON.—The inquest on Thomas Jones, the father of the unfortunate children whose deaths were mentioned in our last, was held before Mr. Hughes, on Wednesday, and adjourned to Friday, on which day the investigation terminated. The following de tail of particulars in the history of this remarkable and tragic occurrence completely overturns the hypothesis of the cause of death given in the preceding account, and irrefragably proves that this lamentable loss of life has ensued from poison —that poison being arsenic, and coming in the way of the doomed family in a manner which, though purely acci dental, will we hope operate as a terrible warning against, we must say, the very culpable negligence with which it ap pears that great quantities of this most deadly poison are suffered to lie exposed about farm-house. Mr. Pierpoint stated, that from his first view of the body, he was of opinion that the man had died from the effects of arsenic, and that the description given by the other surgeons of the symptoms under which he laboured, strengthened that opinion. After the post mortem examination, that gentleman, along with Mr. Morison, went t 9 the chamber where Ann Jones, the mother, was lying, and, after some time had passed in mak ing inquiries, she expressed a desire th at t h e nurses should presentleave t h room.e being Messrs.wh t c h Pierpoint having done, a n d th e on l y parties and Moriso n , th e a ili ng woman's father, and her little boy, the fifth sufferer, but who is now convalescent, she said that a thi ng had occurred to her in the last night which she had f orgotten to tell the doctor (meaning Mr. Morison) in the morning, which was that her husband bad brought home from his master's an old watering pan. There was a number of rags filling up the holes in the bottom. She had washed the pan and drawn the water used in the house on Monday and Tuesday in it from the well ; it was now lying in the well, the string hav ing broke, and she was afraid it was in such pans they mixed the arsenic for the seed wheat. The poor woman, in reply to further inquiries, stated that she had found something adhering to the bottom of the pan, like bean meal. Having obtained this clue to the appalling calamity, no time was lost in searching the well ; in it the old watering pan was discovered, and Mr. Rowberry, who manages Mr. E ssex ' s sowing, being on the jury, at once identified the pan as one i n wh i c h f or years he had mixed the arsenic for the seed wheat liquor, but which he had laid aside last year a s worn out. The mother of the ill-fated family still lives, but remains dangerously ill. We are glad however to say that one life, that of the boy, may now be considered safe from this fright ful visitation ; and we earnestly entreat the attention of farmers to the necessity which this fatal history shows of their dealing more carefully with so mortal a poison than it appears they are now in the habit of doing. 1 - .1u..---Pergous tha middlci and upper ranks of life would do well to look over them wardrobes at the present inclement season, and see if anything can be found which !nigh; be spared for the use of the poor. ALARMING IMPOR.TATION.--The Francis Smith arrived at London from Whampoa and St. Helena, with a cargo of tea, silk, and other articles, brings no fewer than " three thousand two hundred Penang lawyers!"

THE liter: CROPS.—WC are sorry to learn that the rice crops in the vicinity of Calcutta will prove a failure this season if we have no rain within a few days. This will in deed be a calamity to the poor ryots, a calamity which we sincerely pray may be averted by the interposition of an all wise providence.—Calcutta Christian Advocate. EXPORTATION OF IRISH PAUPERS.—On Saturday morn ing, at eight o'clock, the St. George Steam-packet .Com pany's steam-ship Jupiter sailed from her moorings off the Alderman-stairs, Lower East Smithfield, for Cork, with nearly 3 1 10 Irish paupers —men, women, and children—hud dled together upon deck. Most of the wretched group were from, it was said, several union workhouses at Chelsea, and the western parishes of the metropolis.—Standard. IGNORANCE AND CRIME.—From the New Bailey Calen der, for the present month, we perceive that, of 181 persons to be tried for felony, there are 87 who can neither read nor write, 47 who can read imperfectly, 42 read and write imper fectly, 1 reads well, 1 writes well, and 3 whose attainments are not specified. Of the 23 to be tried for misdemeanor, 5 can neither read nor write. 9 can read and write imperfectly, 5 read imperfectly, 3 read and write well, and 1 concerning whose literary acquirements nothing is stated. FLOATING FILE ENGINES.—Mr. Ward called the atten tion of the town-council, at the meeting on Wednesday, to the propriety of establishing a floating fire-engine at this port. Since then we have learned from our Sunderland con temporary, the Norther Times, that a floating fire-engine, built by Messrs. Tilly, London, was exhibited fur trial, by being put into operation on the river Wear, on Thursday se'nnight. It is the property of the shipowners, but its use, we understand, will not be confined to the shipping alone. Its utility in cases of fires in the town was fully evinced on that occasion, by the pipes having been led up Russell -street, and the water thrown over the houses on the south side of High -street—a height of upwards of 120 feet. Hull Times. DREADFUL FLOOD.—We cannot recollect a more tem pestuous night, since the Gth of January, 1839, than that of last evening. During the day the rain came down heavily, accompanied by frequent gusts of wind. As the evening advanced, a very strong gale aroce from the south-east. To wards 8 o'clock, the flat of the city became inundated with a flood, caused by high tides and the great fall of rain during the day. A river flowed through the principal streets ; and in many houses on Hammond's Marsh the water was four feet deep at least. The flood completely subsided at nine o'clock. The rain descended in torrents during the whole of last night, and the greater part of this morning. We have not received any reports of casualities from our sea port correspondents, which leads us to entertain a hope that the gale was confined to our city.— Cork Examiner of Friday. SUICIDE IN CONSEQUENCE OF DESTITUTION.-011 Tues day week, a poor man, named Samuel Ogden, put a period to his existence by a dose of opium, under circumstances which induce the belief that he was rendered insane by destitution. He resided at No. 3, Fairfield-court, Grey-street, Charlton upon-Medlock, and had been unable to procure employment, except a few trifling jobs, for the last twelve months. He had sold all his furniture, in order to procure subsistence : and for the last two months, he had not even a bed to lie on. In consequence of this, he had not, during that period, taken of his cloths day or night. He slept at night on the bare laths of his bedstead, with nothing but a coverlid over him ; and had been frequently without food for three days in suc cession. TOKEN OE RESPECT TO MARS HUISH, ESQ.—We under derstand that a valuable and very handsome memorial is about to be presented to Mr. Huish, as a mark of the admiration and respect in which he was held while connected, as Secretary with the Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock Railway. The memorial is the workmanship of Mr. James Muirhead, jeweller, Buchanan-street, and it does him infinite credit. It is an elegant silver stand for a clock, the base being in the form of a tripod, richly chased with scrolls of the rose, the thistle, and the shamrock, and the arms of Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock, with suitable inscriptions engraver' thereon. On the plinth are two beautiful modelled figures, representing the godesses Pomona and Flora, supporting an elabrotely chased wreath of silver scrolls and leaves, in the centre of which is a patent lever clock, with a very chaste gold dial, the whole being covered with a glass shade. The design is ex ceedingly beautiful, and the matter altogether does much honour to all concerned.—Glasgow Paper THE WEST INDIES.—We learn that the Duke of Wellington has directed his attention of late to the condition of the regi ments which occupy West India stations, and the causes of the mortality to which from time to time they are subjected. His Grace appears to attribute the evil very much to the un healthy situations of the different barracks, and the inadequacy of the buildings themselves to protect the men against the influence of the climate. The results are said to be the con coction of a plan for the fabrication of cast-iron barracks, which shall be sent out in pieces from this country, as was the case with Napoleon's house at longwood. These huts will have numerous advantages over the brick and morter houses ; not the least obvious of which is, that they will be as moveable as a camp. What an extraordinary mind is that which notices every real evil in every department of the state, and devises a remedy for it !—John Bull. BURGLARY AND MURDER.—An old man, upwards of 70 years of age, named Adams, re s idin g near th e Wi n d m ill , Walsall, was brutally murdered by a party of burglars on the night of Tuesday last. The unfortunate deceased derived a small income from several houses; and it is supposed that the circumstance of his having collected his rents a day or two before the deed was perpetrated instigated the murderers to their diabolical act. They effected an entrance to his house through the roof of a low brewhouse ; but the noise they made having disturbed him, he made resistance with a stable fork, the bloody appearance of which indicated that one or more of his assailants were severely gored by its prongs. A woman living in the adjoining prethises heard the noise and saw the men, (who are said to be four,) and by calling out to them caused them to decamp, leaving their aged vic tim so deeply injured by their violence that he died on the following (lay. The ruffians were disappointed of the expected booty, the deceased having deposited his money, £lO, in the bank on the previous day. We understand that a person named Johns, in the employ of Mr. Edward Swift, was taken into custody on suspicion on Thursday evening, having upon his person or premises a pistol corresponding with one which the murderers bad left upon the premises of the de ceased.—Staffordshire Examiner of Saturday, EXTENSIVE ADULTERATION OF GINGER.—On Tuesday week, Mr. Harding, solicitor, applied to D. Maude, Esq., at the Borough Court, for a summons against Mr. Edward Lee, of No. 5, Gaylor-street, Oldham-road, to answer a charge of selling ginger adulterated with gypsum, or plaster of Paris. A specimen of the adulterated ginger was pro duced by Inspector Irwin, and was said to be much heavier than the genuine article. Mr. Harding stated that Mr. Lee had been in the habit of sending to the School Mills a quan tity of ginger to be ground, and at the same time a quantity of plaster of Paris to be mixed with the ginger. The case to which the attention of the court was called occurred on the 17th of November, when he sent down half a hundred weight of ginger to be ground. He afterwards brought about three quarters of a hundred weight of gypsum for the purpose of mixing with the ginger. The proprietors of the mill informed him that they could not allow this. However, he mixed the deleterious substance with the ginger, and took it away. The proportions of the mixture were half a hundred weight of ginger and three quarters of a hundred weight of plaster of Paris. Other ingredients were added to restore the colour and strength. Mr. Maude said this was a criminal case, and a bill of indictment would be preferred against Lee at the quarter sessions.—Manchester Guardian. THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING ROBBED.-011 the night of Saturday last, a poor industrious labourer was proceeding homewards over Kelvedon Common, with the produce of his earnings, lls, when he encountered four fellows, with more impudence than honesty, who plundered him of the whole of his earthly treasure. Misfortune made the poor fellow elo quent, and he so strongly represented the evils of an empty cupboard and a supperless home, that he touched even the seared heart of hardened guilt, and one of the villains directed his companion with an oath to refund a shilling of the booty. This was done ; the shilling was handed to the labourer. On reaching his cottage he flung down the coin upon the table, exclaiming to her who had taken him for ever and aye, with 11 s or without—" There is all I have to give you of my week's earnings," when lo ! plebian silver, as if by a touch of the philosopher's stone, was changed into aristocratic gold ; and there lay a real sovereign. The fact was , the thief had been so accustomed to dip his hands into other people's pockets that he kept rather a loose account of hii own, and by a lucky mistake he handed over a sovereign instead of a shilling, leaving a balance of 9s in favour of honest Hodge.—Chelms ford Chronicle. ' ATTEMPT TO BREAK OUT or PRISON BY PRISONERS CONFINED IN PRESTON.—On Wednesday last, an ingeni ously and deliberately formed plan for breaking out of the house of correction in this town was detected in the follow ing manner :—lt appears that one of the prisoners, by name Peter Howarth, had lost a handkerchief, supposed to have been stolen by another prisoner. On search being made for it, a curiously constructed rope was discovered concealed under a board in the privy, so placed that unless special search bad been made for that or some other article, it was most likely to have escaped observation. The rope had been constructed by this artful device : some of the prisoners had been supplied by their friends with some new worsted stock ings, and these had been unravelled and re-constructed into a rope of several feet length, and of sufficient strength to have held a horse. Some spikes, supposed to have been thrown over the wall by the accomplices of some of the prisoners, had been bent and fastened to the end of the rope to form a grapnel. The intention had evidently been to throw the rope over the wall of the prison yard, aud, by this mean*, to climb over the wall for that Purpose. Doubtless, had is not been for the accidental search after the handkerchief. the scheme would sooner or later have succeeded. We believe, so far as we can gather, the opinion entertained by the officers is, that the intention was to take the opportunity of their being engaged on Thursday, at the sessions, to make the attempt. Preston Chronicle. VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST A MEDICAL OFFICER OF THE BOLTON UNION.-011 Friday last, in the forenoon, an inquest was held at the house of Mr. A. Hardie, the Lord Nelson Tavern, Derby-street, Bolton, before Mr. Taylor, borough coroner, on the body of Margaret Heywood, single woman, who died in Great Bolton workhouse, on Wed nesday last. De cease d h ad b een fum i gate d i n a su l p h ur, or, as it was commonly called, brimstone, vapour-bath, on the 16th ult., and although quite healthy at the time, she had been unwell ever since, complaining of pain in the left side, and of heat and obstruction in the urinal passages. She had alto a cough, and said all her teeth were loose. The jury assembled at ten o'clock in the morning ; adjourned between two and three o'clock to four in the afternoon, and, in the meantime, an examination of the body was made by Mr. J. M. Robinson, who, in his evidence, attributed the death of deceased to inflammation of the lungs, followed by effusion of water in the chest. The disease, in a portion of the lungs and the pleura, was of long standing. Some of the appear ances were of more recent formation, and might be occasioned by sudden transition from a hot room to a cold one, or even by a common cold. The apparatus seemed to him to be well calculated for the purpose to which it had been applied, and he knew that sulpur baths were in daily use for such pur poses among all classes: Mr. J. H. Browne appeared at the adjourned inquest, and cross-examined the witnesses. At a quarter to seven the room was cleared of all but the jury, and after they had been in discussion about an hour, they returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Mr. Heap, the medical officer. Deceased was 43 years of age and of weak intellect. TRADING IN P ATRIOTISM.—I know a f am il y — not i n d eed in this village, but in a town of some commercial importance --who, whenever business becomes dull, contrive to get up some patriotic display eithe r i n th e way of a public meetin g or a public dinner ; or, mayhap, a collectivn towards the " repeal rent." The shrewd people of that good town, how ever, remark, that immediately after these flourishes there is always a new importation of goods to the houses of these patriots, or a new puff in the shop-windows, or at the shop door— " Best and Cheapest Jamaica Sugar," " New Seeds," " Fresh-ground Coffee," &c.

PENRHYN CASTLE. — Penrhyn Castle is constructed on a magnificent s ca l e , i n th e b o ld est sty l e o f cas t e ll a t e d archi tecture, chiefly f rom d es i gns b y H opper , ably blending w ith its . ancient S axon an d N orman orders a ll t h e mo d ern inte. nor accommodations and comforts. The new edifice, built of grey Mona marble, presents an extensive range of build. ings, surmounted by lofty towers, some of which are circu lar, while th e k eep, —i n w hi c h are t h e domestic apa r t ments of the pr o p r i etor ,— an d anot h er o f th e principal towers are square, with the addition of angular turrets. Partially screened by surroun di ng woo d s of the most l uxuriant growth, throu g h th e ex t en t of w hich the Ogwe n w i nds its way to the se a , th e e ff ec t as it i s a pproached, i s at once pic turesque and imposing; and the elegant and superb character of the internal decorations, chiefly upon a ground-work of the finest marbl e , corres p on d s with its outward magnificence. The whole of th e accessor ies, the lodges, and e n t rances to the park, with it s wa ll s a nd massive gateways, are on th e same extensive pl a n, the walls comprising a circuit of not less than seven miles. An elegant chap e l, h ot and cold baths upon the b eac h, outbuildings, & c., alt ogether serve to convey the idea of some royal establishment, rather than the quiet abode of a wealthy commoner of Great Britain.— From Roscoe's North Wales, mew edi t ion.

The samples are generally wet and inferior in quality, particularly the Irish Oats, which are almost unsaleable in the London trade. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 7. We' have to notice another very dull market for all descriptions of grain, with a further decline of is per barrel on Wheat, and 3d per do. on Oats. The sales for Oatmeal continues very languid, yet holders are very Arm in their demand for last rates. Bakers' Flour extremely dull at a reduction of Is per cwt. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, DEC. 8. During the present week the Wheat trade has assumed a firmer aspect, and though few transactions have occurred, last week's prices are fully maintained. Malting Barley continues depressed, and to effect sales lower rates most be submitted to; grinding dull. Oats move slowly atformer currency. Beans is per qr. cheaper. Dec. G Dec. 6, Dec. 6.

There is more confidence shewn in the trade; and although the business passing in old foreign Wheat con tinues extremely limited, yet our quotations are fully maintained when sales are made. For Spring Corn there has scarcely been an inquiry during the week. There has been a slow demand for both Rape and Linseed, and our top quotations are with difficuly made, even for the best qualities ; while secondary runs are difficult to quit. Linseed cake in lair demand, and at rather improving prices. Rape cake lower, and but little doing. For to-days's market the shew of farmers' Wheat, although not large, is more abundant than last week—the condition generally very indifferent—low qualities are bad to quit, but any parcels that are in good or decent condition arc taken at fully last week's prices. More firmness is shewn by holders of old foreign. and the best parcels are held at rather improved rates. Oats and Beans are both dull, and lower prices would have to he taken could sales to any extent be made. The few parcels of really fine malting Bariey that are offering being fully last week's prices, and are sought after by our town malsters ; secondary qualities, of which the great bulk offering con sists, are almost unsaleable. Today the weather is fine and dry. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Dec. 7. Tlie arrivals of Grain and!Flour into this port since Tues day last, are inconsiderable ; of Oats, however, a fair sup ply has passed up the river to Runcorn from Ireland, and we have to note a further large accession of Oatmeal thence, part of which has gone in the same direction. At our market this morning the appearance of a tolerable number of country buyers seemed to impart more stability to the trade for the best kind of Wheat than for some weeks past, especially for superior qualities of lower Baltic red, which realized 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. ab ove th e rates o f t hi s day week. The general runs of Foreign were rather dearer, and in the former a fair extent of business was transacted. Of Wheat from the neighbouring farmers more samples were shown than heretofore since harvest, which, with the best descriptions of Irish, commanded somewhat higher prices, whilst the damp and inferior parcels of each re• mained nearly unsaleable. English and Irish Flour, being nearly without demand, must be considered rather cheaper ; but prime brands of Foreign, although not in lively request, were the turn dearer. Malting Barley and Malt moved off slowly at a decline of is per qr., and grinding Barles hardly maintained our last quotations.—Beans and Peas remained unvaried.
