It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Ve nereal Disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate g!eots, and nodes on the shin bones, till at length a' general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings.

The certainty with which they are continually administered can be attested by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every particle of insidious noison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the differ ent functions of the body, expelling the grosser humours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the mos sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral. and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, 'without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken 'before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their studies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and indis criminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a nemerans train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aversion for all plea sures.

Shares of £29. each. a rJIHI object of this Company is t o es t a bli s h a S tem Cora mimication between the Ports of Liverpool and New York. Its projectors have long entertained the most sanguine opi nions as to the success likely to attend such an enterprize, when liberally backed by public patronage; and, this, the present prospectus, it is confidently hoped, will be the means of induc ing, fur it is a truism, that without its fostering aid all such as sociations must signally fail in the attainment of their object. Twenty years ago the idea was derided of successfully effect ing an intercourse by Steam between this country and Ireland. Nevertheless, we are now in a position of exposing the fallacy of so contracted a view, as .science, aided by wealth. perse verance, and enterprise have prevailed, and the existing esta blishments are in the most prosperous condition. The assertion, then, may fairly be hazarded, that Steam Na vigation, in the really efficient form it has assumed in the prei , sent day, is capable in an eminent degree of developing the vast resources of tkese fertile, densely populated, and commer cially important districts of North America, (to which the oper ations of this Co m p any w ill b e directed,) by affording that superior facility of intercourse between them and Great Britain, for which Steam in other parts of the world has become so justly celebrated, and which, a like to the Merchant and the Emigrant, must be.a matter of the - most paramount interest. The, protectors are justifiable in stating, (inasmuch as it is the expressed opinion of scientific anti experienced men,) that, with suitably constructed and powerful vessels, the run out to New York may, in ordinary weather, be accomplished in about Sixteen days. So quick a run by other means, it is believed, would be without a parallel. An ample supply of Fuel may be always calculated upon, as the great improvement lately introduced in the engineer and boiler department (the invention of the scientific Mr. Hall) has caused a most extraordinary decrease in the consumption of that very important article. In order to disseminate as widely as possible the advantages likely to accrue from such an association as this, well, respect ably, and spiritedly conducted,—a prominent feature in its for mation has been, that of dividing the shares into the moderate amount of Twenty Pounds each ; thus, not precluding the tradesman or small capitalist from investing in an establishment 'Which cannot but augment the commercial importance of this enterprising community. .

LATEST NEWS FROM CANADA. I By the packet ship Orpheus, which arrived here last night, we have received New York papers to the 19th ult. inclusive. The following is the only paragraph in our file which relates to the affairs of Canada : (From the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, March 19.) FROM THE FRONTIER. —We received on Saturday, the Bri tish official account of their attack on the horde which invaded Point Pelle Island, but had not room then to place it in our co lumns. II appears that Col. Maitland, the British officer com manding on the Canada shore, after ascertaining that the ice was sufficiently strong, passed over it a detachment of regulartroops and militia, two companies of which he ordered to the south side of the Island to intercept the retreat of the invaders to the Ame rican shore, whilst he himself landed on the north side and drove them before him. Finding themselves hennaed in, they at tempted to escape on the south side, and here encountered the two companies posted there. An engagement ensued, in which the invaders were routed and left a Col. Bradley, a Major Handley, and Captains Van Rensselaer and hi' Keon, and seven others, dead on the field, several besides taken prisoners, many of whom were severely wounded. The British loss is stated to be two killed and twenty-eight severely wounded. The following account of this affair is from another quarter: Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Sandusky city to his - friend in this village, duted March 3, 1838. "You will find an account of the movements of the Patriots in the Sandusky Clarion, which accompanies this. The town at this time, (8 P. si.) is in a state of excitement almost un paralleled. A part of the officers belonging to the Patriot army on Point au Pelle Island have just arrived. - They had a battle which lasted three hours, when they were compelled to retreat with the loss of from forty to eighty men killed, wounded, and prisoners. I was personally acquainted with two of the officers, who left here on Saturday full of hope. Their bodies are now stiffening oti the snows of the island. This battle must give a final blow to all the hopes of the Patriots in this quarter."-- Saratoga Sentinel. A subsequent despatch from Colonel Maitland announces the capture of the renowned General Sutherland and a young man of the name of Spence, whom, they say, is his aid de camp. He was sent under escort to Toronto. As some of our readers may like to know who this Sutherland really is, we state for their information, that if they can recollect a Sergeant of Marines, wbo, a few years since was daily seen in our publication office, where he called for papers taken by officers stationed at Go vernor's Island and the Navy Yard, they may place before them the individtial in question. He was Sergeant of Ma rines, and deserted, taking with him a sum of money belonging to the corps. The Montreal Herald states that 40 wounded rebels were carried through the woods on sleighs. A large tri-coloured flag, with two stars, and the word "Liberty" worked upon it, was taken. Eleven prisoners were also taken, several of whom had been at Navy Island. AmongSt the spoil were found 40 American muskets, ammunition, swords, &c. It was the intention of the rebelS, when landed on the Canadian shore, to destroy every thing before them by fire. HAYTI--We find the following gratifying intelligence in the Morning Courier and Inquirer of March 13 : By Captain Lovell, of the schooner L'Orient, arrived yester day in 21 days from Port-au-Prince, we learn that the diffi culties existing between the Island and France had been ad justed, and that TrAident Buyer had issued a proclamation to that effect. LIVERPOOL MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, TUESDAY, APRIL 10. The week's supplies of Wheat from Ireland and the English coast have been to a fair extent, with a moderate import of Oats, Meal, and Flour. Our markets have ruled dull during the week for every article. This morning's market was well attended by country millers, but sales were made to a small extent at Id. to 2d. per 70 lbs. reduction on all descriptions of Wheat. The Oat trade was firm and the mealing qualities fully sup ported last week's currency, but for Oatmeal 3d per 210 lbs. reduction was accepted. There was a limited sate for Flour, although 6d. to Is. per 280 lbs. decline was submitted to on last week's prices. The week's supplies of. Butter are 2707 firkins. As the wea ther last week was rather unfavourable for the make of new, fine old was in good demand at 90s. to 925. per cwt.; but we are dull again to-day, with a limited demand from consumers.

LANCASTER EASTER QUARTER SEssioNS tMPOUTANT FKLONY CASE. Joseph Cazneau, a young man of respectable appearance, and, we understand, of respectable connections in Liverpool, was put to the bar on a charge of having stolen, at Liverpool, 8 bales of cotton twist, the property of Gustavus Fincleison and others. —The prisoner pleaded not guilty, and the jury was swum.' Mr. Wilkins addressed the jury for the prosecution. He was glad to be able to congratulate the jury on their labours being so limited; but, whilst he congratulated them on the circum stance of their being but one case for their consideration, he begged to . call to that one their most serious attention. He would also add, with all respect, that it was a case which re quired the close attention of, not only the jury, but the bench, as on the latter would devolve the duty of esplaning to the former the construction of the laws. It was somewhat curious and interesting to mark the history of our English raws on the sub ject of larceny, if merely to show the expensible principles of those laws, and the readiness with which they might be adapted to meet particular circumstances, and such exigencies as time might bring round. The definition formerly held was, that, to constitute a larceny, it was necessary to show a felonious intent. That was the old construction ; but to meet the exigencies of the times, a more extensive construction arose, and what was called a constructive taking was admitted; so that the law did not require an actual theft to be proved, but that the property in question was obtained by fraudulent means and with a frau. duleut intention. That was larceny. He had not the privilege of hearing the law laid down iu the charge to'the grand jury ; but if he was wrong, the able bench before whom he spoke would correct him. If, for example, .they found that the prisoner at the bar had obtained possession of the goods said to be stolen, with intent to defraud the owners, that would be larceny. If, again, they found he got possession with no such original inten tion, but as what was called a builee—that was, the goods were intrusted to his care,—and if by an act of his, he put an end to the contract for bailment, from that moment the larceny corn tnenced. Mr. Starkie, in his book of evidence, held that if a carrier broke open a box delivered to his care, and appropriated is contents, thou g h a t tlaelitus he entertained no such intention, hat would he felony, the privity of contract being determined here was no longer any question. That, he (Mr. Wilkins) _aaprehended, met the case. First, if the jury believed at the tine the prisoner received the goods he had a felonious intention, tley would have no difficulty in finding him guilty. With re tard to original intention, it was laid down by Mr. Archbold fiat if a carrier took out and appropriated part of a bale of goods ntrusted to his care, that was a good proof of an original inten ,ion to commit felony; and then carne Mr. Starkie's case, where, supposing that there was no such original intention, but that the contract for bailment was put an end to, the larceny would Continence. Having stated what he apprehended was the law, ,•he would now proceed to detail the facts of the case they were about to try. The prosecutor was a merchant of Manchester, in partner ship with two other merchants; one of whom i esided at Berlin. and the other at Hamburg. it appeared that in the month of June last, he received instructions to ship some twist by a vessel called the Josephine, and he forwarded a letter to the house of Messrs. Peter Sorenson and Co. of Liverpool.- [Here the learned coun sel read the letter. It was an order for shipment to Burge, by the Josephine, and it further asked Messes. Sorenson to advise when the Josephine arrived, and say if she had room for the goods, He next read a letter in reply from Messrs. Sorenson, and written by the prisoner. This epistle stated that the Jose phine had not arrived, but was expected daily, and that they would secure room and advise arrival. The first of these letters was dated the 14th of June, 1837, and the second the 16th of the same month.] Shortly after, the prosecutor went over to Liverpool, and called and saw the prisoner, stating to the latter what were the instructions of the firm, with regard to the twist. ,The prisoner said Mr. Sorenson had left the office, but that he would take care to have the goods shipped by the Josephine. On the 19th of July the goods were forwarded, together with a letter of advice an d a spec ifi cat i on of the goods. Fifteen bales were thus forwarded by the railway, and notice was given to the prisoner that there were 23 others at the prosecutor's brokers, in Liverpool, and a bill for £47 4s 2d sent for acceptance; in consideration of a certain bale shipped on account of Snecken "stromn, the owner of the Josephine. That bill the prisoner ac cepted, arid it had come back dishonoured, [The letter of di rections sent by the prosecutor was here read. It merely gave the usual orders respecting payment of freight, insurance, &c. which was to be charged to the consignee at Borga ; and referred to the bill of exchange just mentioned. I He should put in the bill of exchange, and prove that the prisoner accepted it. In August, in consequence of certain information, the prosecutor went over to Liverpool, and found Messrs. Sorenson's office shut up, and the prisoner not .to be found. He then went to Dublin, and there found eight bales which had been sold by auction. He should prove, by the prisoner's own admission, that he sent the bales to Dublin for sale. He understood the prisoner meant to tell the jury, that he only acted for Messrs. Sorenson ; but that would not avail him; for, if an agent were guilty of dishonest or felonious acts, the jury would be told by the bench, that he was responsible. He (Mr. Wilkins) understood the prisoner meant to say that he did the act to meet Sorenson and Co.'s bills; but if so, why send the goods to Dublin, and incur risk and freight, whilst there was a more likely market near at hand, both at Liverpool and Manchester? 'Flat was point for the jury's consideration. But suppose Sorenson himself had so disposed of the goods, he apprehended he would stand in the same position as the prisoner; and if so, a fortiori, the prisoner was guilty. He had to inform the jury, in conclusion, that two bales were found at the railway station. He begged, injustice to the prosecutors, to say, that they were actuated by no vindic tive feeling; and he begged to say, also, that they did not come there, as was said, to oppose the prisoner in the Insolvent Debtors' Court; and he (the prisoner) knew that. He knew he could have asked the prosecutor for proof of his debt, andhe could not have substantiated it. The prosecutors had only done what they conceived to be their duty to the public, and to the com mercial world in particular, who would be subject to like frauds, unless the parties perpetrating them were dragged forward to answer for themselve s a t th e b ar o f justice. He apprehended they tad done their duty, and that the prisoner wou:d be proved guilty of the charge alleged against him.

I asked if she bad arrived, and he said she had not. 1 said I should like to know when she arrived, and he said he would let ice know. It was because I intended to send the goods, which I described as twist and cotton. Short ly after, I forwarded a letter of advice to Messrs. Sorenson and Co. [better, dated July 19, 1837, and the accompanying spe cification of the goods, was here put in and read.] According to that advice I sent a bill. [The bill referred to in the letter, and accepted by the prisoner, was put in and read. It is the custom to present for acceptance immediately. From informa tion I had received, I had occasion, the latter end of August, to go to Liverpool. I went to Sorenson's office. It was closed. I went :o Cazueau's place; but I did not find him there. I did not find him at all. The Josephine was in port. None of our goods had been shipped by Sorenson. 1 found two bales at the railway station, and these I shipped myself. With the excep tion of those, no other was shipped by the Josephine. In conse quence of further information, I went the day after to Dublin, and found 500 bundles of the cotton twist there. I could swear to its being ours. When speaking of bundles, bulk had been broken, and sold by action. I found the goods at a manufac turer's house. I returned to Liverpool, and since then the pri soner has been made bankrupt. I attended the last examina tion of the bankrupt. I did not prove any debt. He was exa mined about the twist. I had not received one farthing for the goods sent. Cross-examined by Mr. Boileau. The firm in Hamburg is John Joseph Liebert only, but that at Berlin the same as that at Manchester. I considered that Sorenson had received the goods to be sent to Sneckenstronim. At Liverpool, I believe it was Joseph Cazneau who spoke to me. There was another clerk. He said, Mr. Sorenson was not in, and came forward and spoke to me. He only said, Mr. Sorenson was out; he did not say where he had gone. I took his answer as that of a clerk. only said, I considered him as no agent, because I only knew Peter Sorenson and Co., and the twist was sent to him. I was not on board the Josephine; but I knew there was none of the goods on board, from a conversation with the owner. Never did any transactions with Sorensons' before. The letters were signed by procuration, and the bills were accepted in the same way. I considered Peter Sorenson and Co. responsible. The bill was never paid ; we were obliged to pay it ourselves. Caz neau's place was near the water somewhere; he had no office. I heard Messrs. Peter Sorenson and Company were Danish consuls. 1 found the goods at a manufacturer's in Dublin. I inquired-first at Mr. 11. Littlewood's, and after that at Mr. Littledale's, the auctioneer. He said, he had received the goods direct from Peter Sorenson and Co. I attended the bankruptcy. I did not prove, because I was not asked. I un derstood my examination would come after the creditors were doue with. I stated what had been done, and said that I had not received the twist. I did not make any claim. This is my handwriting [a paper handed to the witness.] I know Sneck enstromm, and have received letters from him too. I think that is his signature [a paper handed.] This looks somewhat different, but it is impossible to tell [speaking to another paper.] I think there is a difference. I deal largely in foreign transac tions. I do not know the custom of Finland. A bundle of twist is 101bs; so that I found about five bales in Dublin. One bale, " F.S. 51," was on Sneckenstromm's own account. The value would be about £so—from £44 to £5O. 1 was here before the Insolvent Debtors' Court. 1 looked at the schedule to see if my name was inserted. I found it there. It was disputed. - Re-examined by Mr. WILKINS.—I never considered myself a creditor of the prisoner. 1 lodged a detainer. When goods are shipped, the bill of lading would show it. I saw the letter to Mr. Littledale. It was signed by Joseph Cazneau. Roscoe.—l am clerk to Messrs. Lowndes and Ro binson, of Liverpool. I attended the examination of the pri soner before the bankruptcy commissioners. [The examination was here produced and read. In the course of it the prisoner admitted that lie had received the letter of advice from Mr. Findelion before he shipped the goods to Dublin.] Here the case for the prosecution closed. Mr.BOILEAu objected that the other side had failed to prove that the property belonged to the prosecutor. It was plain he considered Sorenson and Co. answerable. The bill took that part at least, for which it was Considered payment, out of the prosecutor's hands; and as to the rest, he contended that the railway company would have been answerable, but having de livered it over to Sorensons, it became theirs. The Coons said the property was still Mr. Findeison's, and over-ruled the objection. Mr. BOILEAU then addressed the Jurv.—His learned friend had truly laid down the law of larceny; but he apprehended that there was one ingredient that he had wholly failed to supply in this case, and that was the original intention to commit felony, There was nothing whatever, in evidence, to prove that at the time the goods were sent by the railway, the prisoner made application for them; and unless they could prove that he intended to appropriate, the indictment could not be held good. The prisoner was only the agent of Sorenson and Co., and how could the jury say the goods were fraudulently obtained? Was there one word as t o t h e f a l se pretence? Was it not clear throughout that the prisoner acted only as the agent of Sorenson and Co.? and if h e cou ld s h ow th a t th e goods were parted with by him as the agent of Sorenson, they must acquit him. Unless there was proveela wrongful appropriation, he was clearly acting as agent ( . 4 Sorenson anti Co., and for them converted the goods. ,Was :here any benefit to he derived by the pris.)ner No. Did he r►ceive any commission ? No. He (Mr. Boileau) would distinctly show the jury the grounds on which the goods were sent to Diablin. It was at the urgent instance of one blur __ pby,who had claim on Sorenson and Co. Mr. Peter Soren ;in:: before he .eft the country, had given the prisoner a general power to act fo' him. That power was recognised, and the pri soner sent overthe goods in consequence of the threats of Mur phy. He did itto relieve Messrs. Sorenson anti Co.'s difficulties. He admitted that a great breach of trust had been com mitted, hot he thought he should also be able to show that it .was at most hot a cause of civil action. lie would prove that Sneckensromm had himielf received from the prisoner a certain bill, and bad discharged all liability as to 1.134- teen hales; and if Sueckenstromm took from the prisoner a bill in oischarge of a certain debt, he wondered on what eronad the prosecutor could say he had received no benefit. It was all very true, that at Liverpool Mr. Findeison did not meet with the prisoner; but the reason must be evident. So renson and Co. were in difficulty, and Murphy was . strongly urging his claims upon them. The prisoner resided at the other side of the water, and was himself in no flourishing circumstan ces. If his intentions had been fraudulent, would he not first have satisfied his own creditors with the proceeds of the goods on the spot, and divided the money amongst his creditors ? Further, Mr. Findeison had taken a bill, and he said he held Sorenson and Co. answerable. Well, five bales were found at Dublin ; and if he thought there was any debt, why did he not claim? The fact of his not claiming was strong evidence to show that he did not think the prisoner was liable. His learned friend said he had not opposed him in the lusolveut Debtors' Court, but his learned friend did oppose him. Mr. Wilkins.=-I did not—for Mr. Fendeison. Mr. Boileau.—ln fact, the property was wade the subject of litigation in every way. He should prove that there was an action pending for the recovery of the goods. His friend said the crown prosecuted, but it was at the instance of particular in dividuals, as in all other cases. Then what were the jury to say about vindictive feelings?' Ile would show that, about the 3rd of Juue, Peter Sorenson went to America; that, before doing so, he applied to the prisoner to know if he would act, not only as his commercial agent, but as vice-consul for Sweden and Norway; that after arriving in America, he .acknowledged that agency. Ile should show that Captain Sneckenstromtn had induced the prisoner to give him a bill,—th a t he rece i ve d a bill for the full amount, and discharged him. Mr. Wilkins.—My learned friend cannot do this, I appre hend ? Mr. Boileau.—Down to the latest moment he contended that no fraud was committed by the prisoner; and if there was no fraud, the jury could not convict. Mr. Clarke, from the bench, observed tbat he never knew a case more completely stripped of all difficulties. It was a clear larceny; if not, there was an end to all security in trade. Hannah O'Neill, a smart-looking young woman, fashionably attired, was first examined for the defence. I was housekeeper to Mr, Cazneau. He lived in Upper Tranrnere. He was living there in August. In that month, on a Sunday, Captain Sneck enstromrn came, and Geraldson, clerk to Messrs. Sorenson and Co. Captain S. called on the Thursday morning afterwards. Other persons came and they were admitted. Mr. Cazneau did out juin them that morning. Oa the Thursday morning, Capt. S. called, but he did not get in. I told him Mr, Cazneau was not at home. He was not satisfied, and went round the house and looked in at the parlour window. He saw Mr. Cazneau about three weeks afterwards. I saw a receipt. He gave a bill; Geraldson was present then. Geraldson called previously. He brought a letter, and gave it to me. John Geraldson.—l am a Norwegian. I was clerk to Messrs. Sorenson and Co. Mr. Sorenson left England„l think, in the month of May. Ido not know the cause. I did not keep his - books. There was an English clerk. I took the foreign part. I know the prisoner. He came frequently to the office, after and before Mr. Sorenson went away. I acted on his instruc tions. I did so because I knew he had a power of attorney, as agent. I do not remember when the bales were sent. I was' present with Captain Sneekenstrom and the prisoner in August. He gave a bill to Captain Sneckenstromm, who took it with biro. He is in Finland. Mr. Wilkins addressed the jury in reply. He knew his learned friend's conscientious zeal on behalf of his client, and lie respected his knowledge of the Law : but he was sorry that on this occasion his zeal had led him into a line of defence, to support which, he was obliged to resort, not to common law, but what he might designate very uncommon law. He (Mr. Wilkins) however, could observe, that the court clearly saw through the case, and, from the intimations that were given, he had reason to think it would agree with the law as he had humbly laid it down. It was clear the goods were forwarded with special advice and a most scrupulous order, and there was proof that, in violation of that advice and that order, the goods were sent to Dublin. It was also proved that the prisoner was keeping out of the way, and that, with otbercircumstances com bined, led to the inference that he knew he was doing wrong. Another strong fact was that the prisoner did not tell Mr. Fin deison, that Mr. Sorenson was gone to America; but, on the contrary, held out a pretence by implication, in order that he might get possession of the goods, he well knowing that if he had said Sorenson had gone out of the country, he would never have got the goods. There was, therefore, good evidence of his guilty intention. It would be for the jury to say so by their I verdict, and he had no doubt the prisoner would be ultimately dealt by with judgment and justice. The Chairman summed up. He observed that the law of lar ceney, as laid down by ,the learned council, lie had no reason to disagree with, and he believed it was pretty much to the same effect as what he himself had addressed to the grand jury. Sup posing the prisoner had got the goods with a view to misappro priation, that would be guilt; and there was also the case of a party in the character of a bailee—that was when property was confided for some special purpose—if the party intrusted di verted the property to purposes of his own, that would also be larceny. Of course, neither court nor jury could look into the prisoner's mind, and say what his intentions were; and they were obliged to judge from the circumstances of the case. The prisoner had received letters to ship certain goods, and what would be the natural conduct of a person meaning fairly on re ceiving the goods; Would he not have told the prosecutor, that Mr. So re n son h a d gone t o A mer i ca ? Did the jury think it probable, if that was stated to Mr. Findeison, that be would have intrusted the goods to the prisoner? That appeared to afford proof of the prisoner's intention. Did he ship the goods afterwards? No. Even on his own admission be said he sent them to Dublin. He (the chairman) was not aware of any right he had, in contravention of his directions, to do that; and it was for the jury to say what inference they drew from it. He could not conceive, either, that any authority from Captain Sneckenstrorntit would so authorize the prisoner. The goods belonged to Mr. Findeison, and it did not appear that he had received any payment from Captain Sneckenstromm. The jury, however, would judge. They would look at the prisoner's conduct, and if they saw any reasonable grounds for doubting his guilt, they would, as in all other cases, give him the benefit of that doubt; but if not, it would be their duty to find- him guilty. The jury immediately returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. Fendeison, on being asked by the bench the value of the whole property, replied that it was about £7(X). The Chairman proceeded to pass sentence. The offence of which the prisoner had been found guilty was one of a very se rious complexion, and they had seen many persons sent from that court out of the country on charges of a much lighter die. It was necessary, for the protection of the public that such cases should be met with due severity—the moral guilt was very great, and it was right that the punishment should be com mensurate. The sentence of the court was that the prisoner be transported for seven years, This was the only felony case on trial, and at its conclusion about six) the court adjourned. SOUTH LANCASHIRE BANK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR, —1 observe in your paper of the 27th ult., that in the re port of a trial, " Thomas and another, assignees, v. Connell," Mr. Cresswell is made to say :—" In this way the South Lan cashire Bank got some £l,lOO, the produce of goods which were sold under circumstances which induced the assignees, at the last assizes, to bring an action, which terminated in a verdict which compelled them to refund the money they had so re ceived." Passing over whether these words were used by the learned counsel in error, or inserted by your reporter by mistake, as. not material, I beg to assure -you that the South Lancashire Bank never did have a fraudulent preference —no action was brought against it. and no refunding ever took place. The facts of the case are these:—Brown and Cheetham opened an account with this bank, but we would not open that account and take their bills without a guarantee ; and Messrs. Lilly, Bentley, and Brown, sen., guaranteed the bank accord ingly. Now, when Brown and Cheetham were in difficulties, the bank naturally and properly called on the sureties, and they paid off the money, and there the transaction ended, Lular as this bank was "concerned. It is true that the assignees brought an action against those sureties for obtaining a preference, and they were obliged to repay the money they had so obtained; but the South Lan cashire Bank had nothing to do with this; it was never applied to to refund any thing either in this case or any other. I shall be obliged, therefore, by your contradicting this part of the report, either by insetting this letter PENNY b N y v a , p i‘ a i el r a a u g a ra g ph .. of your own.—l am, R Manchester, April 2, 1838. FOREIGN INTELLIGEIVC.E. SPAIN. The French government has received the following telegraphic dispatch "Bayonne, April 3, half-past 3, p. m. "On the 20th and 21st of March, General Bars(' attacked Cabrera, who was besiging Lucena, with 13 battalions and 7 pieces of artillery, and forced him to raise the siege. Basilio was on the 28th before Ciudad Real, and Flinter at Consuegra. Espalier° was on the 27th at Valencia, and the Carlist expedi tion on the 26th at Freno de Rodella. The committee has unanimously adopted the bill on the loan." The 'Quotidienne' makes the following observations on the telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne of the 3d inst.:—" It ap pears that Basilio Garcia, who was making his way towards the mountains of Avila, as if he had been determined to traverse Tala.vera, has made a sudden counter-inareh towards La Man cha; from which it may be inferred, that he has been made ac quainted with the conditions of the loan contracted by M. Aguado, and wishes to destroy its principal basis, by letting in , water into the mines of Almaden. It shoulcbbe -recollected that Ciudad jteal is 0n1y.15 leagues from Almaden; and that Geit. Flinter, Wit° of all the Christinos chiefs ii, closest to the expedi tion, has been left 15 league s f ur th er b e hi n d at C onsuegra !"" A letter from Catalonia of the 30th ult. given by the Quoti-v dienne,' contains the following information :—" . A column of 3000 infantry and 50 horse, with three cannon, having marched from Solsona, came on the 12th to the neighbourhood of Gerry. to raise the siege of that place. This expedition was received by the Carlists with the greatest sangfroid, and after 10 hours' fighting, completely routed, with the loss of a great many killed, among, whom wai the cominand,r, Brigadier Videres. If Tristanv had arrived one hour sooner, the whole column would nave been destroyed. On the 13th Cagaera having heard that Baron de Meer threatened Ripon, advanced thither with 3000 men; but having found that Colonel Darchs had aban doned that place without fighting, he caused him to be arrested and shot onithe 25th, at Berga." Extract of a - letter from Toulon, dated March 31 :—" The occupation of Stora is definitively resolved upon. A column of 2000 men will shortly march from Constantine simultaneossly with the appearance of three steam-boats and some smaller craft upon the coast, where 1200 men will be disembarked, with the necessary guns, ammunition, and provisions. An obstinate . resistance is not looked for; but every precaution will be taken to repulse any act of hostility." A letter from the Bayonne frontier, of the 2d inst. mentions the fact of O'Donnell's second advance upon Vera, withmt stating the result. He reports at the same time the couubr march of Guergue from his movement upon Portugalette, aid his arrival in the valley of Mena, with the intention of crossiag the Ebro. This account, however, he does not confirm. A letter from Durango, dated the 30th, states that Guergie, having made a false movement on Portugalette, suddenly male a counter-march, and at th a t d a t e was i n t h e v ill age of Meia, wth the whole of his division and four pieces of artillery, intend- ing to cross the Ebro and march direct into the provinceof I Burgos. • The Madrid papers of the 28th ult have arrived. A report was current, but not credited, that General Latre had diedof his wound. The Gazette' of the '2Bth states, that the expeii lion under Count Negri halted for the night of the 24th at Vl lamayor ; and was marching in the direction of Pedrosa aid Vasconcellos, closely followed - by General Iriarte. CI-111A. The Bee, which arrived on Satu r d a y, a t thi s port, f rom Vd paraiso, whence she sailed on the 28th of December, has brougat the following interesting lett e r : VALPARAIS'i, 27th I3Ec., 1837.-1 have to inform you, flat three of the Peruvian vessels of war, viz., Socaba3a, 24 guns ; Confederacion, 22 guns; and Congresso, 18 guns, taking Ed vantage of the Chili ships of war being with the expedition in the Intermedios, appeared off this port on the 27th Nov. uk., and remained until the 3d in s t. Th ey h a d prev i ously visited the island of Juan Fernandez, where they set at liberty the criminal and political prisoners, and some of the latter joined them ; the remainder were brought over to the continent by an American whaler. They sailed from that island on the 18th Nov. ult., for Talcahuano, and, after being here as above, sailed for the northward, visiting Coquimbo, Huasco, and Copiapo. During their c ru i se , th ey t oo k two or t h ree of the Chili mer chant vessels. The only Chili man of war in this port was the schooner Colocolo, repairing; consequently, these vessels caused a considerable degree of alarm along the whole coast. H.M.S. Rover arrived here on the 14th instant, from Quilca, bringing an account of Admiral Blanco, Commander-in-chief of the Chili expedition, (which sailed against Peru 15th Sept. nit.) having made a treaty of peace with General Santa Cruz. Admiral Blanco arrived here the following day, in the Chili corvetto Libertad, and the other Chili vessels of war and trans ports have since returned with the troops of the expedition, the last of which arrived yesterday. The treaty was agreed to on the 17th Novemberult., about six leagues from Arequipa. An official rejection of this treaty has been published by the Chili government, and a new expedition, of a much superior force, is determined upon. Lima, the capital of Peru, it is said, will be the object of attack. The Chili vessels of war sail in a day or two with the non-ratification, and, probable, with an in tent of blockading Callao, and keeping the Peruvian vessels of war in that port, if they find, them there. Admiral Blanco has been ill received by this government, and it is thought, will in sist upon having a court inertial held respecting bio conduct with the expedition in Peru. • Subscriptions have been opened, and two persons appointed by Government, to receive money and stores from the public to carry on the %val.! which is popular only with the lower classes, who have nothing to lose, and those who are employed by or interested with the presek party who are now in power. In the meantime, commerce is growing worse and worse, and the oldest resid e nt in Valpariso n ever k new business sobad; in short, there is little or nothing doing, with nearly to the amount of a million sterling of foreign goods in the Custom house stores ? MEXICO. FALMOUTH, APRlLMajesty's packet Hope Lieut. Bees, with mails from ;Mexico, arrived late last night, having sailed from Vera Cruz the 6th, Tampico the 14th, and Havannah the 28th of Febtuary. The only news she brings from the republic is, that Congress had found itself under the necessity of authorising the creation of a loan of 8,000,000 dollars for the use of government; and further, that a rumour of a change in the ministry being shortly expected to take place was current, and generally entertained as likely to be realised. At Vera Cruz some excitement prevailed in consequence of the circula tion of a report that the French government bad determined on dispatching a squadron thither forthwith, for tiro purpose of en forcing certain claims pending between that country and Mexico; and although nothing determinate appeared to be known on the subject, still by many the expedition was looked for daily. The reports from the Heal del Monte mines are of a very encouraging nature, and the Hope has brought a considerable remittance in bar silver from them on account of the shareholders. OUTLINE OF KINNEAR'S CAREER. As our readers may have some curiosity respecting the former career of an individual who has made so much noise in the world as John Kinnear, we will give a few of the leading par ticulars of his life. He is, if we mistake not, a native of Mon trose. Ile married a Miss Donaldson, of Perth, whose maiden name he has recently assumed, and was at one time a partner in the house of Robinson, Tate, Kinnear, and Co., of Glasgow ; and, if we are not misinformed, had also some connexion in business with a member of the Monteith family. Though we believe be did not actually fail at Glasgow, be was not success ful in business ,ere, and consequently removed to Liverpool some time prior to the year 1810. Here be very soon launched out in an extent of speculative dealing and of accommodation paper, which up to that time had probably never had a parallel in this country; and he eventually involved several other very considerable houses, and an immense number of smaller con cerns, in utter ruin. Amongst other exploits, he is said to have drawn and to have succeeded in, negotiating a bill for upwards of £BO,OOO, (we believe £85,000,) which was subsequently generally stated to have-been framed and glazed, and kept in the private office of a Liverpool banking-house, by whom the bill was discounted. This bill gave occasion to the following lines, constituting part of a poem written in the year 1810, and entitled "Things as they are at Liverpool." It was published in the Liverpool Mercury, and, we believe, was understood to have been the production of a well-known Liverpool merchant. Having previously alluded to the prevalence of accommodation bills, known by the cant name of "kites," the writer proceeds— " In those blest days when credit ran so high, Kinnear could make an eighty thousand tly But God help them—God help the silly pack, Who placed themselves, adventurous on its back. Their dreadful fall,—and oh ! what numbers fell, — Let the Gazette's recording pages tell." We believe that on Kinnear's bankruptcy, which took plas - .,e in 1810, the amount of his debts was nearly a million sterling; those of the other houses connected with him in bill transactions, and involved in his fall, amounted to an enormous ruin; and the misery and ruin inflicted, not only upon Liverpool, but on Manchester and the manufacturing districts generally, were frightful in the extreme. After his failure Kinnear went to London, and was not, we believe, much heard of until the year 1817, when certain cri minal proceedings against blur were comm fr enced. which ter minated in his being tried at Guildhall before Chief Justice Abbott, together with several other persons, on a charge of conspiring to defraud the king's subjects, by setting up three or four persons in business as merchants in London, giving them an appearance of wealth, which enabled them to procure cre dit in various quarters, and finally defrauding a large number of persons in Manchester and elsewhere to the extent of nearly £100,00). Three of the defendants, namely, Kinnear, Lewis Levy, and Mozley Woolf, were convicted on the cleatest evi dence, and sentenced to an imprisonment of two years each, iu addition to a fine of £lO,OOO on Woolf,-and .-E5,000 on Levy. Kinnear, in pursuance of his sentence, was confined in Ilchester Gaol, and was one of the witnesses to support the charges pre ferred against the gaoler, William Bridie, by the well-known Henry Hunt, who was also confined at Ilchester at the same time. Shortly after the termin a ti o n of th e i m p r i sonment at ll chester, Kinnear established a bank at Brighton, under the title, if we are not mistaken, of the Roy a l B an k , an d a ust derAm le number of his notes foun'd their way into Manchester, Liverpool, &c. In the *Amer town an office was opened to ne gotiate them. This was in 1823, when local notes were begin ning to acquire currency in the town, and many of them were taken by incautious persons, must of whom, of course, lost their money. Kinnear is also known to have been connected with the "Mersey Bank," which was established in Liverpool some where about the same time, hot which, we believe, was not a very successful speculation. For some time previous to - his committal, he lived Partly.in London and partly in France, but was not much before the public. THE PILOT COMMITTEE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STAND4RD. SIR,—In your last number you inserted a letter addressed to the pilots, which you say is "supposed to have emanated from Mr. Aikin." As I was ignorant of such a letter having been written until I saw it in your paper, I must disavow the compliment you of course intended to pay to me. Allow me to take this opportunity to state, that during the long period I acted as a member of the Pilot Committee I never asked a pilot to vote on any occasion. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, JAMES AIKIN. STEAM VOYAGE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC IN 1819.—0 n Sun day last arrived here, in 26 days from Savannah, the steam ship Savannah, Captain Rodgers, (brother to Commodore Rodgers,) burthen 319 t ons; her destination is said to be St. Petersburgh. as a present to the Emperor Alexander.—(Gore's Advertises, June 24, 1819.(—The Savannah, steam-ship, which arrived here last week from Savannah, is the first steam-vessel which had crossed the Atlantic. She is a beautiful vessel, and was built at New York, under the inspection of her commander, Captain Rodgers. Her burthen is 319 tons. Her destination is said to be St. Petersburgh, as a present to the Emperor Alexander. An amusing incident is related in the Irish papers reapecting this vessel. When off the coast of Ireland, she was observed by the Kite, revenue crusier, Lieutenant Bowie. The Kite chased her during the day, going ten knots, supposing her to be a ship on fire, when at length, perceiving the Kite in chase, she stopped her engine till the latter came up.—( Liver pool Courier, June 30. 1819.) The ship mentioned above was not a " genuine" steamer, having been fitted for sailing as well as steaming. Besides, the marine steam engines built twenty veals ago were greatly inferior to those manufactured now-a-days. The performance of the Savannah, which took twenty-six days on the passage from the American port of that name, cannot, therefore, be compared with the expected per formance of the Sirius or the Great Western, both of which will, it is tb , ught, reach New York in fifteen days.—Ed.

THE GODS OF ROME.--Can there be imagined a more deplora ble prostitution of the human intellect, than the employment of it to fix the era. the country, and the genealogy of the Roman Jupiter, Juno, Vulcan, and Venus : to follow them through their obscene and filthy adventures ; to luxuriate over the amours, or to bewail the misfortunes of creatures, which, if they ever had existed, would have been a disgrace to humanity, to say nothing of divinity ? If such a study must have been d egra d ing , e ven in times o f ignorance,' what can be thought of it, as an orna mental branch of learning, —as an exercise for the youthful mind, in times and in a country upon which the true light,' has dawned ?

THE REVENUE.—The official tables of the revenue► received to the close of the year and quarter which e nded on Thursday night, present a considerable defalcation in comparison with the public receipts for the correspond ing periods of last year. The falling off upon the pre sent amounts to £2,332,364 upon the year, and of £492,420, or nearly half a million, upon the quarter. The decline is observable under almost all the heads of public income, except that of the Postoflice and repay ments of public money alone. , In the Customs, the dif ference between the. two financial years is against the present to the amount of £1,251,658, and upon a com parison of the quarter, £374,835. The Excise, also, upon a similar comparison, will be found deficient, upon the year £1,049,557, and upon the quarter of £128,590. The returns from the stamp duties prove less productive by £209,114 upon the year, but have improved upon the last quarter, and exceed the present receipts by £29,732. The assessed taxes have declined by £54,811 upon the year, and £50,643 upon the quarter. The Postoffice has improved upon the year and quarter in the sums of £28,743 and £2,000 respectively. There is under the head of " miscellaneous taxes" a falling off amounting to £15,978 for the year, and of £493 for the quarter. The excess in • the returns from repayments of public moneys amounts to £220,011, and £30,409 for the re -regpeetive periods. The sum to be raised by Exchequer Bills for the service of the quarter is calculated at £5,172,428. The simpering Chancellor of the Exchequer will, ne* doubt, invent some specious tale to account for the alarm ing falling off which has taken place in almost every branch of the revenue. It will, perhaps, be attributed to the languid state of our American .trade; but Obi can scarcely be deemed a satisfactory reason, as the de ficiency in the Excise department is almost as great as that in the Customs, whilst the Stamps, Taxes, and Miscellaneous receipts have likewise experienced a con siderable decrease. The Whigs have hitherto been fertile in expedients 4.0 produce a fictitious increase in the r,evenue, by forestal ling the receipts of successive quarters. But such trickery must obviously have an end. We shall be cu rious to know in what department Mr. Spring Rice will make his reduction of taxation for the ensuing year. We shall also look with some anxiety for the speeches of cheese paring Hume, on the introduction of the budget. No doubt the increased expenditure incurred in frustra ting the revolutionary friends of Joseph in the Canadas will form an excuse for the prudent abstinence of that rigid economist from his pruning operations. CREATION OF PEERS.—The approaching coronation will afford Lord Melbourne an opportunity of exercising his patronage in a manner which will necessarily increase to the temporary influence of the ministry. It is expected that forty or fifty fresh creations will take place in the peerage on that occasion. There can be no doubt that many votes in the House - of Commons, and, perhaps,. some few in the House of Lords, are dependent upon. the realisation of the hopes of those who are looking for the honours which Lord Melbourne will have to dispense. Of course, many of these must be disappointed in their expectations, and bitter will be the vindictive feelings to which such disappointment will give rise. It would seem that her Majesty, jealous of the honour of her crown, is extremely cautious lest the premier should too far extend the privileges with which he is invested. Her Majesty has no partiality for that indiscriminate sort of elevation to the peerage to which the retainers of the present ministry look forwards. She is desirous of up holding the dignity of the House of Lords, a course to which the creation of any considerable number of radical peers will by no means contribute. The Queen has no• ambition to convert the House of Lords into a bear garden, such as the House of Commons frequently re sembles; she will, therefore, place an interdict upon the importation of any of the Irish papists into the upper chamber. A great number of the rejected candidates at the last elections are spoken of as likely to be raised to the peer age. Among these are enumerated Mr. Paul Methuen, • the rejected of Wiltshire; Mr. Tracey, the rejected 01 Bridgenorth; Sir John Wrottesley, the rejected or Staffordshire; and Mr. Tynte,, the rejected of 'Bridge— water. Should these rejected suitors be elected to the. House of LOrds, we shall have an instance of whig radical policy for which the Town Council of Liverpool have afforded a precedent. They have made aldermen of those candidates whom the people have rejected. Why should not Lord Melbourne do the same? II wil l be paying a delicate compliment to the public. Among the promotions in title we understand that the Marquis of Westminster and the Marquis of Anglesey are to be included—both aspiring to the ducal coronet.. Lord Petre, it is rumoured, is to be made Viscount: Derwentwater—a very suitable title I The following Irish lOrds are in expectation of being elevated to the peerage :—Lords Lismore, Rossmorf) Kenmore, Cranniore, Listowell, Arran, Rancliffe, Nu gent, and Langford. Who are all these worthies? Echo answers " Who ?" The less that is said of many of them the better. This batch will do little to elevate the character of the British peerage—they may do much to degrade it, Amongst the changes likely, it is said, to be car ried into effect, sim u lt aneously with these wholesale pro mo . tions to the h onours of nobility, are the following O'Connell i s t o assume the Mastership of the R o ll s in- Ireland, inst ea d o f O'L oughlen, who is to be . prom ote dr
