In most of the surrounding towns of Lancashire the circulation of the STANDARD is steadily increasing. In Manchester, however, the centre of the manufacturing district, our publication of Tuesday—occurring upon the most im portant market day of the Cotton Trade, when its Exchange and Hotels are thronged with country manis facturers, spinners, and calico printers—is firmly es tablished in circulation, and is perused with increased and increasing interest. Under these encouraging circumstances, we trust to receive an increased measure of support from the mer chants and brokers of the town generally ; and it affords us great pleasure to itssure those of our friends amongst those classes, who have.hithetto bestowed their adver tising favours liberally upon us, of our increased ability to do justice to the interests committed to their care. but all This Tea possesses the tru- GREEN TEAS Common Green Tea Superior Twankay...

We have to thank an all-seeing God that, in our periods of greatest national tribulation, the land in which we are placed is still, as compared with other lands, for its climate, its liberty, and its security of life and property, well worthy of the name of " happy England." The arrival of the last West Indian mail has afforded u s grounds, unfortunately too ample and indisputable: for t self- c ongratulation upon the blessings of our lot ; v at the same time, they appeal most powerfully whilst, s to the sympathies of our nature, as Englishmen and as )rgans, I Christians In particular, the case of the fertile and lately prosperous island of Antigua is one which is well calculated to awake that active zeal for the amelioration of human affliction, which so eminently distinguishes the people of Great Britain. The morning of the Bth of February dawned in peculiar beauty and freshness upon that fertile possession of the British Crown. It s luxurious crops waved in the gentle trade wind. Not a speck was in its sky, or a sound or a sign upon the land; or the surrounding °mu], to damp the hopes of hdillc! arid bctisdeth scene of devastation and dismay,--,its churches, public buildings, mills, and private - dwellings, either levelled in ruins, or shattered to their foundations! fore us states the account be- ittl4:4lh § Et. thid thd dgd or iio , / lights t)t hear that the "Patent Pelletan Light,". announced in onr advertising columns, possess very strong claims to public attention. ALING COPPER.. — Michael Clarke, an elderly man, was committed to the Borough Gaol, by Mr. Rushton, yes terday, for having stolen a small quantity of copper from the Clarence Dock. DEAD INFANT FOUND.—On Friday morning last, the person who cleans the Stanhope-street chapel, found a box close to the o u t er ga t e , which on opening she found to con tain the body of a male infant. It was taken to the Southern Hospital and examined, when it was pronounced by the sur geon to be still born. STEALING BEEF.—An old woman, named Mary Jones, who had been previously several times committed and dis charged, was brought before Mr. Rushton, at 'the Police court, yesterday, charged with having stolen a piece of beef from a stand in St. James's Market. She was sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the Borough Gaol. A DISHONEST SHOPBOY. William Jones, shopboy to Mr. Dunsford, cutler and surgical instrument maker, was placed before Mr. Rushton. on Saturday, charged with having robbed his master of several knives, forks, and razors, and Catharine Garratty and William Garratty, brother and sister, who keep a marine store in Bevington-bush, were charged with having received the property. The prisoners were committed for trial, Mr. Rushton observing, that it was individuals like the Garrattys who encouraged and even made young thieves. BEGGING IN THE STREET.---At the police-court, yester day, no less than 37 persons, many of them with families, were charged with this offence. Amongst them were many urgent cases of distress. Others, Mr. Rushton recogn i ze d (to use hi s own term ) as ." old friends of his." The truly distressed were relieved, many of thsm substantially; others were forwarded to the parishes in which their settlement was proved.--while the more hardened, many of whom refused to be clothed an d sent h ome , were severally comm i tte d to the Borough Gaol for times varying from seven days to one month. A CHILD RUN OVER.—A car-driver was placed before Mr. Rushton, on Saturday, charged with h av i ng run over a child. It a pp eare d t h a t, on Friday last, the driver was con veying a gentleman and his servant along Lime -street, when he drove over a child which was crossing the road. None of the witnesses produced saw the accident, but they saw the child lying on the ground " like a heap of dirt," t oo k it up, and, finding th a t it was ser i ou sly injured, carried it to one'of the hospitals. The gentleman's servant who rode on th e box, and who app eare d f or th e prisoner, said they were going at a moderate pace, when the child ran under the h ea d o f th e horse, and the wheel passed over it before the driver could pull up. According to the evidence of police-officer 553, the prisoner, having stopped for an instant, galloped away, and be had some difficulty in overtaking him to ascertain his number, which he did at the top of Mount Pleasant. The child is said to be in considerable danger. The prisoner was discharged on bail to appear when called on. TII E. FUNDS: SATURDAY EVENING.—The English funds have maintained steadiness, but not much business was transacted. The stock-markets altogether were in a quies cent state. Consols for money and the account closed 96/ buyers ; Bank Stock, 184 to 185 ex. div ; 3 per Cents. Re dnced, 96 to A ex. div. ; 31 per Cents. Reduced, 1081 to lex. div. ; New 31 per Cents., 102, 1 ,- to 4; Long Annuities, 121- to 9.16; India Bonds, 765. to 78s. pm. ; Exchequer-bills, 2d. issue, 675. to 695. pm. ; the lid. issue, 68s. to 70s. pm. ; and India Stock, 269 to 270. There was almost a cessation of dealings in the foreign stocks, though on the whole prices at the close of the day ruled much the same as yesterday. Co lombian left off extremely heavy at 241 to 25; Spanish Ac tives were last quoted 231 to ; the New Stock, 31i to 4 ; Portuguese converted, 401 to 11:- Mexican, 291 to 4 ; the Deferred Stock, 81 to 4 ; Dutch 21 per Cents., 564 to 4 ; the 5 per Cents., 994 to 100; Danish,.Bs to 86; Brazilian, 75 to 76 ; and Belgian, 10-14 to 1051. PUBLICANS FINED. — OnIy nine informations were heard on Friday, which included publicans and beer-sellers. Wil liam Heury Morris, London-road, was fined 10s. and costs for having served liquor at ten minutes to four on the Sunday afternoon. We believe it is not generally known that all houses dispensing liquors on the Sabbath afternoon, before, the cluck has struck four, are equally as liable to the penal ties of the law as those infringing the new act, Mr. Rushton remark'ng that it made no diffetence, afternoon or f aenoon, in this respect. George Carrick, Mersey-street, 605., Robert Roberts, Wellington-road, 405., Henry Pearce, Princes street, postponed ; John Rowland, Lawtcn-streeet, post poned. Beer-houses :—James Topkinson, Potteries, 605., John Carr, Albion-street, 605., Archibald M`Millan, Peach street, acquitted ; Edward Hughes, (cellar,) Chaucer-street, acquitted. The cases postponed for further evidence were resumed on Saturday. The defendants were acquitted in both instances. THE LIVER THEATRE TRIALS.—We understand that the actions for trial at the present assizes regarding this theatre have been adjourned to August next, by an arrangement be tween the attorneys and counsel for the plaintiffs and defend ants, with the consent of Mr. Justice Coltman. They were entered in the cause list as follows :—" Bridge a. Honey," and " Bridge v. Buckstone." The first-named was brought in the name of Mr. Bridge, on his own behalf and that of his co-proprietors of the Theatre-Royal to recover seven penal ties, amounting to £350, under the act of the 10 George 11, from Mrs. Honey, in addition to the convictions recently obtained at Kirkdale, but against which she has appealed, for performing in the drama at the Royal Liver Theatre. The second was brought by the same party against Mr. John Baldwin Buckstone to . recover four additional penalties amounting to £2OO. There is a second action pending against him for twenty other penalties amounting to £lOO, which will, most probably, be decided at_the same time. The con ditions of the postponement, we believe, are, that Mr. Buck. stone is not to play in the drama at the Liver until after the next assizes ; that the theatre shall not be opened for thea trical purposes from this date until after that period ; and that' the appeals against the convictions lately obtained at Kirkdale shall not be gone into until the October sessions. THE THEATRE ROYAL V. THE:MINOR THEATRES"Vit the police-court yesterday, the solicitors of the Theatre Royal again renewed their application to Mr. Rushton, in relation to the minor theatres of the town. On the solicitor rising, Mr. Rushton asked what is the nature of your application to-day.? The Solicitor.—The application is rather prema.. turely made,• but understanding that on the result of the re cent decisions he (Mr. Ruqhton) had made, the parties con nected with a minor theatre, to which the mayor had give his sanction—the Amphitheatre- =were actually preparing for the representation of dramatic'entertainments we have made this application. Mr. Rushton. —They have no right to enact anything tbht is prohibited by law, and the' mayor's autho rity especially specifies that. The best' way would be to pro ceed against the proprietors under that "section of the new improvement act that relates to persons'knotaing/y /dung, Bcc.. and not against the spectators. ' The Solicitor. —This would be difficult to prove. Mr. Rushton.-:—Let the parties be served with notice of your intention, and lay before them the evidence you have that such entertainments are about to be produced. If, then, they do not cornO l Y, I wil grant you a summons. The Solicitor.—What will then be done? Mr. Rushton.—j won't say what I will do. I will grant a sum mons against , the proprietors. The course I have recom mended is the least hard, and decidedly the most convenient way of proceeding. The solicitor thanked Mr. Rushton, and left the court. WEST DERBY UNION.-At the first meeting of the newly elected Board of Guardians of the 'West Derby Union, the ' following members were re-elected to the several offices held by them duri ng th e pas t year,—viz, John Sh eppar d , E sq., Chairman, and Alderman Ryan, and Thomas Roberts, Esq., Vice-Chairmen ; the unanimous thanks of the Board having been awarded to them for their very valuable and efficient services to the Union.—The sixth annual dinner, which took place at the Rainbow Hotel, and which was in every respect highly .satifactory, was very numerously at tended. The chair was most ably filled by Mr. Sheppard, and Mr. Roberts contributed largely to the pleasure of the company by his very excellent conduct as Vice-chairman, After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts (which were intro duced in a very efficient manner by the Chairman,) had been duly responded to, Mr. Parker proposed "The health of the Poor Law C omm i ss i oners " i n a mos t e ff ect i ve speech, and highly eulogized the character of those gentlemen with re spect t o th e courtesy and kindness which they h a d a t a ll times exhibited t owar d s th e Guardians of the West Derby Union. Several other gentlemen supported the proposition of Mr. Parker, and repudiated the attempts which were fre quently made with much virulence, but with as little truth, as affect to attach odium to those hon. gentlemen in th e dis charge of th e i r very ar d uous an d responsible duties. Several other excellent speeches were made by John Formby, Esq., magistrate, the. Rev. Thomas Dwyer, and other gentlemen, on the subject of the Union and the Loor-laws ; and on every topic the utmost unanimity and satisfaction prevailed. THF: GREAT WESTERN.—The passengers, before their arrival,.presented the following address to Captain Ilosken, expressive of their admiration of the manner in which he managed his ship during the recent voyage, and of their ob ligation to him for his uniform politeness and attention to their wants:— " On board the steam-ship Great Western, 31st March, 1843. " Sir,—As the time draws near when our voyage on board this ship is to terminate, we have great pleasure in expressing to you our sense of the attention manifested by yourself and the officers and crew under your command, in the perform ance of your respective duties, and which has throughout inspired the most implicit confidence among those whose safety has, under Providence, been placed in your charge. The passage has been, for this ship, one of unusual length, arising from a succession of contrary winds and tempestuous weather; but it has served at the same time to exhibit, in stronger relief, the high qualities of this noble sea-boat, and the vigilance and talents of her officers. We separate with the hest wishes for the success of her ejltexpri.iog owners, and for the welfare of yourself and the officers and men under your charge. " To Captain James Hosken, R.N., &c. &c." Signed, C. Macrae, Scotland. John Tapan, Boston, U.S. James B. Murray, New York. Richard Trask, Boston. J. Converse, London. William Denny, Major 71st;Regt. V. Fanche, New York. Geo. H.

THE NEW PACKET -SHIP MONTEZUMA.—This new and beautiful vessel entered our harbour on Friday morning, after a passage of 17 days and a few hours, from New York. Her appearance as she came into port, with the English en sign floating in front, and the stripes and stars at the mizen, under sail with a full and fair breeze, was very imposing. While just entering the harbour, she gave a salute of 18 guns from a piece of artillery on board, which, echoing from the shore, produced a fine effect. In lat. 40. 55, long. 20. 25, she fell in with the dismasted wreck of the French brig St. Bernard, of lklcamp, in a sinking state, on the eighth day after she had been disabled, and her officers and crew, 16 in number, were, in a time of great peril, rescued from the wreck, and brought by Captain Lowber to this port. The passengers, on their arrival, in testimony of their high appreciation of his ability as a seaman, and his praiseworthy exertions in saving the above officers and crew. presented him with a silver pitcher. On receiving it he was addressed, on behalf of the passengers, by A. Willi ams , Esq., of the city of New York, one of their number, in a neat and elo quent speech, to which be made a feeling and appropriate re ply. The Montezuma is, according to all the accounts, one of the fastest vessels afloat. During the trip, she sailed one day no less then 291 miles. on another 280, and two days in succession at the rate of 274 per day. This has seldom been surpassed, if equalled, by any of the Atlantic steamers. The New York Courier says with reference to her—" Everything is all that taste and unstinted liberality of outlay could wish it, and not a single item that taste could devise, comfort call for, or money purchase has been omitted. The captain and owners threw the Montezuma open to their friends and visi tors generally on Wednesday and Thursday last —the latter being Lady Day. and the hospit a li t i es of a new packet were never more gracefully dispensed or more beautifully re ceived. The company both days was large, and the pleasure of the visit mutually pleasant, we believe, to those who gave and those who partook of the entertainment. Capt. Lowber bore himself like a true sailor and gentleman, a s we know he will always do in port and on the ocean. Success to him and his ship." Wt[ TO CORRESPONDENTS We have a large mass of communications before us, om correspondents must have patience until after the assizes ebe Ziberpool gptantarb. TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 11, 1843 The result of the Nottingham election, which has terminated in the defeat of Mr. Walter, jun., and the return of the League candidate, Mr. Thos. Gisborne, can scarcely have surprised the world. The result of a Nottingham election has rarely, indeed, decided any thing of greater importance than the question, on which side the practices, of bribery by the candidate and debauchery and political profligacy on the part of his venal supporters, have been the greatest. In the present case, however, there are a few circumstances which are worthy of being remarked upon. We have, in time . past, been accustomed to hear of such a thing as " Tory-Chartism," although it was never very clear to us of what it consisted. A Tory- Chartist, however, was something very shocking, very disreputable, and very dangerous ; and we can only assume that he was such because he entertained the opinions or favoured the designs of the Chartist party. Such, at all events, is our own conclusion as to the signification of the term; and if we are in error, most likely the Manchester Guardian can set us right. Now at this election we observe that the successful candidate (who is also the favoured of the Anti-Corn law League) has gone a little further than any Con servative has as yet been known to go, The utmost that could ever be alleged against a Tory-Chartist was that he entertained, in a somewhat mitigated form, some of the hostility directed by the Chartists against certain Malthusian doctrines of the Whig party. He held in no very good odour the new poor-law; had a leaning towards a ten hours' factory bill; suspected that the expansion of the productive power of British machinery bad somethiug to do with the increasing dis tress of the British hand-labourer ; and, as the climax to his audacity, denied altogether the existence of that vast regard for the interests and love for the persons of the working classes, which Whiggery is in the habit of putting forth as its distinguishing characteristic as a political party. - Further than. anti no Toni-Chartist• has been accused of going ; but at this Nottingham election we observe that the Anti-Corn-law League, by the mouth of their candidate, Mr. Gisborne; has not only coquetted with Feargus, the great apostle of the new constitution which is to be, but has bolted the charter itself (.9—swailovved the six points, " uni versal suffrage," " annual parliaments," " vote by ballot," " electoral districts," " no Property qualifica tion," and " paid members!" Chartist and anti-corn law agitation are, from henceforth, to go hand-in hand. The League fifty-thousand fund is to be made available to foist into Parliament only such gentlemen of character, or rather gentlemen of such character, as will submit to gulp down , upon the hustings —a la Gisborne and Lord Rancliffe—the nauseous constitu tional drench which Mr. Feargus O'Connor carries about with him, to be swallowed as the price of his support This, then, is the first lesson taught us by the Not tingham contest; and from it we may deduce another, viz., that the fact of one political body denouncing another in the most bitter terms, and even putting in operation the strongest power of the law for its sup pression, is no guara n t ee t h at the naost perfect good understanding does not exist between them. The League body denounced the Chartist body as the fo menters of the recent disturbances in the. manufac turing districts. The League: body and the Chartist body are perfect good friends at Nottingham ! Have they ever been othe rw i se ? H ave these committals, t h ese prosecutions, these protestations of mutual dis like, been, after all, anything more than a little bye-play or lover's quarrels, which, as every body knows, but lead to increased affection ? There is another trifling matter, however, connected with this League-Chartist victory. The fingers of the gentlemen are reported not to have been quite so clean as the lingers of such patriots ought to be! This however, will have to be decid e d b y an elec tionmmittee; and if the verdict again s t th e newly electedas with the example of a late verdi c t b e f ore question,ccommittee; b e us, w e see not how it can be otherwise than " guilty we do most fervently p ra y th a t a consti tuency, ,' whic h appears only to exist in order to exhibit to the world an example of unparalleled profligacy —a constituency among which an honest candidate dare no t present himself during the canvass without a cer tainty of being tainted by the contact—will at once be deprived of the opportunity of doing further offence to the British Constitution and to decency ! Nottingham disfranchised, or Sudbury w ill h ave b een Itit3-eu'Lt be disfranchised, injustice If we live in a country, in which distress and priva tion are occasionally rife; if our commercial and in dustrial energies at times fail us; if the productiveness of our soil is nut always equal to the wants of our vast and growing- population, and we are only permitted to reap the fruits of the earth " in their season," at a greater cost of labour and painstaking than in climes more favoured :—if no plains teeming with sponta neous vegetation surround us, and the rich fruits of the tropics are not ours to gather; we are, at the least, placed beyond the reach of those terrific convulsions of nature which, in an hour, or a minute of calamity, ' Out of fourteen parish churc eighty-two are rent from top to bottom, or otherwise se verely, and, it is to be feared, irreparably damaged; fifty five are partially injured, but almost all of then:require ea - tensive repairs to render them serviceable in saving the pre sent crop. The works, dwelling-houses, and labourers' cot tages attached to these mills, have shared their fate in equal proportion. The numerous free villages are heaps of ruins, and many a head, which rose from its pillow that morning, elated by hope and the expectation of future prosperity, at night was either houseless and homeless, or obliged to take such temporary shelter as could be erected at the moment from the fragments of the shattered buildings ; and it is much to be feared that more than one respectable family still remains in the same destitutetdondition and without the means of repairing their dwellingjso utter and overwhelming has been the ruin with which they have been so unexpect edly overtaken." Nor is this fearful devastation all which the unfortu nate proprietors and labourers of Antigua have to mourn over, for years of uninterrupted prosperity will not suffice to repair the damage; and how much of it must to the unfortunate sufferers be altogether irreparable ! The luxuriant crops of the island gill stand, we are told, in the midst of the ruin, " unscathed and vigourous, as if smiling in derision at the perish able works of man's hands ;" and the bulk of that valuable crop, reared with such pains, both planter and labourer are doomed to see rot upon the soil " for want of the means to convert it to the use of man." Surely, a calamity, so widely.spread in its effects— so irremediable by the unaided energies of the popula tion of Antigua—should call forth the active sympa thies of a commercial community such as Liverpool, and especially of a community enjoying with that island, as we do, a large and valuable commerce. To every interest—to the merchant as well as the humblest trader--such an instance of the visiting of an inscru table Providence appeals. To men of every religious persuasion —to the churchman as well as to the dis senter—it appeals ; for the cathedral and churches of the former are equally in ruins with the chapels of the latter. To the friends of emancipation, too, it addresses itself powerfully; for " the numerous free villages are heaps of ruins," and their dispossessed population are driven houseless by the fate which has converted into desolation thKir lately smiling cottages and provision" grounds. The calamity, like death, has presented itself alike at the doors of the wealthy and of the poor; has prostrated equally the mansion and the hovel, the tem ple and the humble edifice " where•two or three are met together" in God"s name. We do hope, then, to see in this town an effort made, worthy of the occasion, to relieve, and promptly too, the distress which is rife at present in Antigua. Already the legislatures of the neighbouring West Indian islands have come forward with all the aid to be expected from colonies far from being in that posi tion of prosperity which would permit their hands to be as liberal as their wishes. The Colonial Office at home has consented to aid the planters with tempo rary loans to meet their instant emergencies. The means accruing from these sources, however,:we ob serve with regret, are so fearfully deficient that aid can only be granted to " those persons who are in the most destitute condition." They are utterly unequal to ena ble a single individual in the island to provide for more than his daily and pressing wants of food or temporary shelter. From the private benevolence of the British people—so abundantly manifested when the sufferers from any calamity inforeign countries have appealed to us—we can alone look for any efficient measure of aid; and to that benevolence, so far as Liverpool at least is concerned—we trust that the prostrated people of Antigua—a people sharing our own liberty, and wor shipping the same God in the same language with our selves—will not appeal in vain. Let the effort be promptly and energetically made; and it cannot fail here to be as promptly and abundantly responded to, unless the people of our good old town have become more selfish and forgetful of that gratitude which they owe to the all-wise Disposer of human events—for the protecting care with which he has hitherto withheld from this land such awful visitings of his anger—than we have ever believed them to be ! Since the above was writteu we have received an advertisement, which appears elsewhere in our publi cation this day, by which it will be seen that all who have an inclination to come forward and lend a helping hand, can do so—a subscription having been com menced, and to which the public of Liverpool are invited to contribute.

SAINT DAVID'S CHURCH, LIVERPOOL.—We understand that the trustees will proceed to the election of a minister on Wednesday, the 3d of May nxxt ; end that it is their inten tion to make every effort to procure assistance for one or more of the services from the Pastoral Aid Society. THE WEATHER.—Since our last the weather has been ex tremely variable. On Sunday morning rather a smart shower of snow fell; and, early on Monday morning the ground was slightly covered with snow. Yesterday the sun shone bril liantly at intervals, but the atmosphere was damp and cold. The Manchester Guardian of Saturday announces the deaths of two persons, one a boy aged 14 years, and the other a domestic servant, in consegnence of having fallen whilst engaged in the reprehensible practice of cleaning windows at the outside of the premises. FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM. — On Sunday last a sermon was preached in Christ Church, by the , Rev. Fielding Ould, on behalf of that interesting institution—the Liverpool Female Orphan Asylum. The children were present in their neat dress, and a sum of £4-1 was collected for the Charity. We hope this example will have many imitators. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Saturday morning Stewart Slack. a labourer, aged 30, left his home at five o'clock to proceed to his work. Shortly afterwards, as he was passing the Mo nument, in London-road, he was observed to stagger and fall. Ile was lifted up by four persons who went to his as sistance, and it was supposed that he was in a fit. 1 - le,died in a few minutes. lie had complained the day before of a ' palpitation of his heart. LIVERPOOL POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY.—It is announced, that Mr. Williams will read a paper to this society this evening, on "The Combustion of Coal Gas," in reply to one lately read by Mr. Smith, on " The Combustion of Smoke." The subject is an interesting one, the former gentleman ad vocating the prevention of smoke by the complete combus tion of the gases generated from coal, in furnaces ; the latter, the combustion of the smoke after it has been formed. Both gentlemen allege, that on the distinction between the combustion of gas or smoke depends the correctness of the means adopted for abating the nuisance. ROBBERY FROM THE rEasom.—Yesterday, a woman of depraved habits was charged before Mr. Rushton, at the police-court, with having on the previous day s t olen a purse containing a five pound Bank of England note, several sove reigns, and a quantity of silver. From the evidence of the prosecutor, a most respectably dressed young man, it ap peared that he met the prisoner in Russell -street, and after some conversation left her, when feeling in his pocket lie missed his purse. He went in search of the prisoner, and found her with the purse in her possession, which she agreed to give him for a soverei gn . She was comm i tte d to take her trial at the sessions. belongin g lured: seven have been levelled to the ground, five are se verely shaken and damaged, the school houses have shared the same fate. • e cathedral of St. John, and chapels lisped Church, only two remain unin- " The Wesleyan chapel in St. John's is very seriously in jured : the two chapels belonging to that persuasion in the country are totally in ruins : of the remaining six, one only has escaped without extensive damage.

" In the city of St. John, the destruction of property, both in buildings and goods, has been general and extensive One-third of the houses and stores, and those the most valu able, having been the most substantially built, are strewed upon the ground. A large portion of the remaining houses are ao shattered as to be uninhabitable ; and every building has sustained more or less injury. Not one public building has escaped. The Cathedral, the Jail, the House of Correction, the Custom-house, the Luna tic Asylum, the Fort which protected the harbour, and the Barracks, are masses of ruins. The walls of the Court house are so rent and shattered that it cannot, until re paired, be used for any public purpose. These were all buildings of strong masonry, and most of them have resisted the hurricanes and tempests of the last century. The Go vernment House alone (built of wood) has escaped, with partial injury to its foundations and offices. "To these may be added the Barracks and Cantonments on Shirley Heights' and the Ridge, so much injured as to be uninhabitable by the troops, who, like those near St. John's, are obliged to be encamped. Dow's Hill, the property of the Ordnance Department and the country residence of the Governor-in-Chief, is nearly destroyed ; the dock-yard and other buildings at English Harbour most seriously damaged, and the village of English Harbour and the small town of Falmouth almost entirely in ruins.

APRIL NODDIES.—A practical joke was played upon many of our townsmen, of the lower order, on Saturday week. Mr. Sloan, of the Royal Amphitheatre, it will be remembered, by way of raising the wind to pay to the poor of the parish a moiety of the penalty in which he was mulcted by the bench at Kirkdale, on the recent informations instituted against him by the proprietors of the Theatre-Royal, for playing the drama in an unlicensed building, issued last week but one a number of orders for admission to the performances on pay ment of reduced prices. The speculation, we hear, was a successful one. At all events Mr. Sloan assures us that it brought three hundred pounds into his exchequer, which otherwise would have fructified in the pockets of some less deserving parties. The practitioners of " All Fools' Day" seem to have taken their cue from this circumstances, for on Saturday evening the doors of the Liver Theatre were be sieged at an early hour, and manager, money and cheque takers were all alive with the hope of having a bumper house. The doors were no sooner opened than there was a tremendous rush towards the interior, especially at the pit entrance, and at the latter place upwards of sixty orders were presented to the following effect :—" Royal Liver Theatre. This order will admit two to the pit, if delivered at the pit door on Saturday evening, before a quarter past seven o'clock, on payment of sixpence ! ! March 29th, 1843. W. C." The order was printed and had every appearance of being genuine, but the lovers of fun, in their anxiety to have a laugh at the expense of their neighbours, had forged the initials of the manager, and the holders being one and all turned back were suddenly reminded that it was the first of April. The same thought at the same time struck the manager and his servants, but though there was much disappointment evinced by all parties, they speedily regained their wanted equanimity, and joined in one shout of laughter at the joke of which they were the victims. UTTERING BAD COIN AND NOTES.---111 the crown court, on Thursday last during the trial of a shop-keeper and hawker named Royle, for uttering two £5 notes purporting to be of the Halifax and Huddesfield Bank, he knowing them to be forged, and who was eventually acquitted. Mr. Wilkins who defended the prisoner, in the course of his ad dress to the jury, related an anecdote relative to himself as illustrative of the frequent occurrence of parties in respec table life becoming possessed of base money, and offering it without knowing it to be so, by which their character and liberties were for a time jeopardized. After stating that in the case before them it had been moved that about the time of the transaction imputed to the prisoner, and while he was travelling in his vocation in Yorkshire, a vaat number of forged notes had got into circulation in that county, one delinquent put into circulation paper of that description purporting to be to the amount in all of £lOOO ; he said in effect :—On the very day I was admitted to the bar, 1 travel led on foot with a young fellow student from one town to anoth3r in the south. We became warm with walking, and observing a small house of entertainment on the way side, at the window of which a welcome notice of " Prime Devon shire Cider sold here." we both entered and asked fora glass each of that cooling beverage, which was served to us by the landlord, and for which I handed him half-a-crown to be changed in payment. Bonnyface felt the coin, looked at it, and then gazing with a rather droll expression of vision at us, and again at the piece, said, with a knowing laugh, " It wont do, I'm too old a cock to be caught with this sort of chaff." My young friend, who had not much knowledge of the world, became surprised and indignant at the imputation' endeavou red to repel it, and with some warmth said to the landlord, " Sir, you dont know who you are speaking to. We are gentlemen belonging to the bar !" " I have no doubt what ever but what you have both of you been brought up to the bar before naw !" I thought it wiser under the circumstances, to satisfy so ugly a custom, by paying him in good m oney , but on puttin g m y h an d i nto my pocet for that purpose I found that 1 had fewer than six other half-crowns equally base! Here was an aggravation of our predicament, from which, however, we eventually escaped by explaining who we were, and how I bad become possessed of the money, when within an ace of being committed to durance vile. The fact was that a man in the town we had left, had for some time been pestering me to assist him with a concert he was getting up, and I had received from him all the bad half crowns in change on giving him my donation towards it. LIVERPOOL DOCK BILL. This bill, which has for its object to enable the dock trus ees to charge dues upon freight carried in the poops of ves sels, (which has, hitherto, from an oversight in previous acts' been exempt,) passed through a committee of the House of Commons on Thursday. We give below its only important clause, describing the mode in future to be adopted for ascer taining tonnage for the leveying of dock rates : "And be it enacted, that from and after the passing of this act, it shall be lawful for the said trustees and for their collector of the said tonnage-rates, or his clerk, agent, or servant, or any officer of the said trustees, for the time being duly authorised, to measure and ascertain the tonnage of all vessels liable to the payment of all or any of the tonnage rates or duties imposed by the said recited acts, or any of them, according to the following rules ; (that is to say) if the hold is clear; divide the length of the upper deck, between the after part of the stem and the fore part of the stern-post, into six equal p ar t s; d ept h s, at the foremast , the middl e and the aftermost of those points of division, measure, in feet and decimal parts of a foot, the depths from the under side of the upper deck, to the ceiling at the limber strake : in the case of a break in the upper deck, the depths are to be measured from a line stretch e d i n a cont i nuation of the deck ; breadths, ." - titride each of those three depths into five equal parts, and measure the inside breadths at the fallowing points, videlicet : at one-fifth and at four-fiths from the upper deck of the fore most and afterrnost depths, and at two-fifths and four fifths from the upper deck of the midship depth ; length, at half the midship depth, measure the length of the ves sel from the after part of She stem to the fore part of the stern-post; then to twice the midship depth, add the fore most and aftermost depths; for the sum of the depths, add together the upper and lower breadths at the foremost division, three times the upper breadth wad the lower breadth at the midship division •and the upper, .and twice the lower breadth at the after division for the snm of the breadths; then multiply the sum of the depths by the sum of the breadths, aqd this product by the length, and divide the final product by three thousand five hundred, and the quotient shall be the amount of tonnage of such vessel. If the cargo is on board, measure first the length on the upper deck be tween the after part of the stein and the fore part of the stern-post ; secondly, the inside breadth on the under side of the upper deck, at the middle point of the length ; and, thirdly, the depth from the under side of the upper deck down the pump -well to the skin ; multiply these three dimen sions together, and divide the product by one hundred and thirty, and the quotient shall be the amount of tonnage of such vessel. If such vessel shall have a poop, half deck or break in the upper deck, measure the inside, mean length, breadth, and height of such part thereof as may be included within the bulk-head; multiply these three measure ments together, and dividing the product by 92.4, the quotient shall be the amount of the tonnage of such poop, half deck or break, and shall be added to the amount of tonnage of the same vessel as ascertained by either of the preceding rules : Provided always, That in ascertaining the tonnage of any such vessel which shall be propelled by steam, the tonnage due to the cubical contests of the engine-room shall be de ducted from the total tonnage of the vessel as determined by the rules aforesaid, and the remainder shall be considered as the amount of the tonnage of the said vessel, in respect of which the said rates and duties shall be paid; and the ton nage due to the cubical contents of the engine -room shall be determined in the following manner ; (that is to say) measure the inside length of the engine -room in feet and decimal parts of a foot from the foremost to the aftermost bulkhead, then multiply the said length by the depth of the vessel at the midship division as aforesaid, and the product by the inside breadth at the same division at two-fifths of the depth from the deck taken as aforesaid, and divide the last product by 92'4, and the quotient shall be the tonnage due to the cubieal contents of the engine-room."

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday last an accident, which terminated fatally, occurred to Mr. Simcox, the pro prietor of a cross-country coach from Brighton. Upon the arrival of the coach at Lewes Mr. Simcox was engaged fas tening the luggage to the roof when the strap broke, and he fell into the road and broke his back. The unfortunate man lingered in great agony until Saturday morning, when be ex pired. The deceased was a fine, healthy man, only thirty six years of age. • COMBUSTION IN A COAL MINE. --A volcano of a novel , kind has broken out in the neighbourhood of Kcenigshutte, a town in Silesia. For twenty years past a slow fire, which occasioned no alarm, has burnt in the coal mines of that dis trict ; but recently it has assumed an alarming character, shooting out immense volumes of flame, which threaten de struction to the surrounding buildings, and to the vast forests of the country. A steam-engine has been established for the purpose of discharging water into the mines ; but, at the latest accounts, this machine had been in action for seventy-two hours without producing the slightest effect. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. --A poor man of the name of O'Briens, returned from Scotland on Sunday morning last, and being fatigued he went to his bed, throwing his clothes, in a pocket of which was a loaded pistol, on a box or chest. His wife, a few minutes after, went to the box for some article which was in it, and was in the act of lifting the clothes, when, melancholy to relate, the pistol went off, and the ball entered the forehead and passed out at the back part of the head of her daughter (a fine child of three years old), who was standing at her side. Instant death was the con sequence.--Derry Sentinel. ;;~ MRS.

THE POISONING CASE AT MANCHESTER The trial . of Mary Hunter was resumed this morning. The court was again crowded, and many ladies were present. On the motion of Mr. Wilkins, the medical witnesses to be examined, and whose.evidence would be merely speculative, were ordered out of court. He then called Sarah Horsfield, a neighbour of the deceased, and the pri soner. She deposed nearly to the satne effect as Mrs. Street, and the dreadful sufferings of the deceased. Mr. John Davies, lecturer on chemistry at the Royal Me dical Society and the Pharmaceutic Society in Manchester, deposed that he analysed the contents of the stomach and some porridge given to him by Mr. Beswick, the officer; and found no poison whatever. He thought it possible that the prescriptions administered to the deceased would have a ten dency to remove arsenic from the stomach and bowels. Cross-examined.—From the tests he applied he should have discovered the smallest fraction of a grain of arsenic had it been present. Re-examined.—The questions put to him in cross-exami nation are much more lit for a pathologist to decide than a chemist. Mary Ann Jackson, wife of Thomas Jackson, and sister of the deceased, proved that when she asked the prisoner why they had not been sent for, she replied that she could not send, and that Mr. Harrison's young man told her that her husband had the liver complaint, and, if opened, his liver would be found no bigger than a nut ; and that when it was proposed to open his body, she objected to it; that they had no quarrel about the money ; that about six weeks before the death of her husband, she had asked witness to lend her £5, saying that her husband had drawn £lO out of the building society, £5 for herself and £5 for a widow lady ; that he had given her the latter to take care of, and somebody had picked her pocket of four sovereigns, in the market. Witness lent her £2. Cross-examined.—The deceased and his wife had been married ten years, and had always lived comfortably together for anything she knew. The prisoner was a little give❑ to drink. Her husband was of rather a hasty temper. By the June s.—Witness had quarrelled with the prisoner about seven years ago, but they were on speaking terms. Thomas Jackson gave somewhat similar evidence. They had never laid claim to the money of the deceased, but he and another person offered to advance money for the mourn ing. Cross-examined.—lt was a common thing for persons in her line of life. to object to have a body opened. Re-examined. —H a d his wife died so suddenly, he should not have objected to her being opened. Ann Whittaker, of Walter -street, Manchester, next door neighbour to the deceased, and whose husband worked with him, proved that the prisoner had told her that her husband was struck with death when he began to be ill, and that he would be black when he was first struck, and those who laid him out would see it. She said they were troubled with witchclocks some months previous to this. Martha Ankers, a silk-winder, neighbour to the deceased, spoke to his regular habits. The prisoner, who was not a sober woman, told her that her husband allowed her £1 a week to keep house. She was, in the habit of pawning a good deal, and said if he found it out he would kill her. Some time previously she had kept a cat.—Cross-examined : She was a good wife, and very fond of her husband, and had often expressed to witness her intention to act better. It was three years since they kept a cat. Martha Ankers, sen., said the prisoner had told her, 12 months ago, that her husband was going to draw some money from a building-club ; that she owed money, and, as she was much involved unknown to him, she thought she would take it, as the only chance of redeeming herself, and would never do anything unknown to him again; and th a t it wou ld b e a greater a shock t o hi m to rind she had deceived him than to lose the money. Caroline Bedford, living near to the prisoner, had charred for her, but heard nothing of her h av i ng w i t ch c l ocks. The prisoner had sen t h er to borrow sheets to lay her husband out shortly before he died. Hugh M'Gilion, who formerly lodged with. the deceased, spoke to his beie'g a robust, healthy twin. After a number of witnesses had been examined, whose testimony did not throw much light on the investigation, Mr. Beswick, the chief superintendent of police at Manchester, proved that he apprehended the prisoner, and cautioned her not to say anything that might commit herself, when she de nied that she had bought arsenic from Mr. Davies or any other person ; and that she then said she had bought it to kill witchclocks with, but had lost it, and observed, " you think I gave it to my husband, but you are mistaken." He afterwards, with policeofficer Green, searched the house, but ' found no oatmeal balls. Mrs. Whittaker gave him a basin with some water porridge, which he handed to Mr. Davies, together with some paper containing a white powder that had been found in the prisoner's house. Mr. John Carson, surgeon, who heard the evidence of the medical men the previous day, arrived at the conclusion that the symptoms described could not be formed by any disease coming on suddenly in a person in perfect health. He be lieved the deceased had died from acute intla mutation of the stomach. Mr. Thomas Blackburn was then called. He had been in practice as a surgeon in Liverpool for upwards of 30 years. Heard the evidence of the medical met, yesterday as to the death of the deceased, and his illness, and the appearances of the body, and I think it within the range of possibility that arsenic could be detected. I, however, think the probability rather the other way. The learned JUDGE here stopped the case, and asked the Jury whether they were of opinion that the case should go on. The Jury said they had heard quite enough, and under the direction of his Lordship, a verdict of acquittal was taken, and the prisoner was discharged. Mr. POLLOCK said, in justice to Mr. Dyson, one of the medical gentlemen who was examined yesterday, he wished to withdraw the observation he had made respecting: him. The gentleman who instructed him had been misinformed, and the moment he found it was without foundation he wished to do justice to the gentleman. The learned JUDGE observed, that the manner in wlach Mr. Dyson denied the observation showed him there was no foundation for it. [\Ve understood there we re about a dozen witnesses in attendance for the prisoner, all differing in opinion. from the medical and chemical testimony given on behalf of the prose cution.] Mr. Herford was solicitor to the prosecution ; and Mr. Bent, solicitor, of Manchester, for the prisoner. Two or three cases of bv , rglary of no interest occupied the court until it adjourned at half-past six. NISI PRIUS COURT. —FRIDAY. FARRAR V. DEFLINNE..—ThiS was a special jury case, in which the plaintiff, James Farrar, sought to recover from the defendant, Francis Dahl - tie, the amount of three bills of ex change for £1,123. The counts were for goods sold and de livered, interest, and on an account stated. The defendant pleaded that he had not accepted, and denied his liability. ' Mr. BAINES, Mr. TouLINSoN, and Mr. COWLING ap peared for the plaintiff; and Mr. DeNDAS, Mr. BRANDT, and Mr. WATSON for the defendant. Mr. BAINEs stated the case. He said the question to be decided on that occasion was one of very considerable im portance, not only as it af f ected the amount at issue, but also as it affected the character.of the person whose conduct the Jury would have to inquire into; because, with respect to the defendant, be (Mr. Baines) would have to submit to them that his conduct, as regarded the present matter, had been utterly inconsistent with those principles of honesty and fair dealing by which every British merchant ought ever to be actuated. The plaintiff was a respectable manufactu rer, carrying on business in Manchester. The defendant was also carrying on business in Manchester; he was one of a firm called Deflinne and Colt; and he was also, as he (Mr. Bathes) contended, a partner in a firm called Thomas Todd, in which name the bills of exchange, the subject of the pre sent action, were drawn, and in which name they were ac cepted. Those bills had been drawn to wards the latter part of last year. They were drawn by the plaintiff on Mr. Todd ; they were accepted by Mr. Todd ; and %viva he (Mr. Baines) contended for was this, that the defendata. was liable to the plaintiff, either as an actual member of ghat firm, or, at all events, as having held himself out in the c haracter of a part ner. This was the short question which the jury would have to try. The evidence would necessarily run into much de tail; and he (Mr. Baines) would be best able to assist the Jury in listening to it by giving them a short and general, statement of the transections, entering as little as possible into detail. They had already heard of t person of the name of Thomas Todd as that of the conce rte on which the bills had been drawn, and in which they were accepted. There was a young man of that name, who, in 1833, down to the latter part of that year, had been engt toed in several situations in Manchester as warehouseman anal buyer—first at Townsend and Co.'s, and then at Ainsworith and Co.'s. He seemed to have contracted an intimacy with Mr. De flinne, the present defendant; for, at the end' was advis e d b y Mr. Deflinne to go i nto b usiness fear himself, the latter saying that he was possessed of capital with which he would render him assistance. Todd according! y took a warehouse in Marsden-place, Manchester, and, befo re three months had expired, an actual written agreement . of part nership was entered into between him and Deflinne , which specified that the concern was to be carried on by To, dd, and that Deflinne was to be a dormant partner. That an agree ment of this kind had been entered into, there was no doubt. The instrument was dated in February, 1834. Ver y soon after, Deflinne interested himself greatly in the cones all by coming to the place and acting in every way in which t . part ner could act; and it would be material for the jury to see in what light he exhibited himself to the persons conai:ng to the warehouse, for he (Mr. Baines) would contend be :knew, and must have known, that, though his name did not appear in the firm, the fact of his being a partner must h ave been notorious to ,great numbers,of persons, and; among; otafiers, 16 the plaintiff; who, upon the credit of Deflinne, man' not upon that of Todd, had gone on, from the year 18; 14 down to the final stoppage of Todd in July, 1842, o supplyin gds at an aver age rate o f £4OO per month, and, all the t im go e, on the bona fide belief that he had Deflinne for his debtor; and it would be strange if he had come to any other t tonclu sion, for he had the statement of Deflinne's partner on the subject, and be also had an opportunity of seeing ho iw the defendant conducted himself in the management of th, s con cern. Some of the things which the defendant did as a part ner were these :—he came three or four times a clay t• 7 the place, wrote in the books of the concerti, was seen b . cone t clerks and oth ers to d o so, examined the accounts, was con sulted about raising the wages of the servants, gave direct inns to the buyers and sellers for the concern as to-what they i rare to do, conducted himself in every way as a partner, and was very urgent with the clerks and servants to make as in tch profit as Possible ; and, whether it was that he had an t add way of expressing himself or not, it was difficult to say, b afr, at all events, hi s usua l remark appeared to be—" Take ca lie you rob the natives (a laugh); get as much out of them Lis you can M. So-and-so is making so much, mu, it make as much as him." The bills of acceptances that becam e due of the concern were taken up by him ; parties were always: referred to him and he settled the accounts ; and it would be shown by the evidence of several employed in the concern that no other conclusion could be drawn thanniathniasm, eth:,ataMnort. Deflinne was a partner, and that, though. included in the firm, he was appearing personally and taking an open and ostensible part in the general business of the house. This state of things continued till 1837. Todd had nothing. He had come out of a situation with a capi of only £2O or £3O in th e wor ld ; and it would be seen fromtal the evidence that he was not to supply any capital, but that the capital was to be supplied by Deflinne. It would be con tended by the counsel on the other side that a di sso l ution of the partne rs hi p too k place in the year '37, and that after that dissolution the liabilities of Deflinne ceased ; but Defli nne would find himself very much mistaken if he had taken any such notion as this into his head, for the dissolution had been of the most secret kind, not known to any human bein g ex cept to Mr. Todd and himself : the servants of the concern had not the slighte s t k now l e d ge o f it, of t persons i dealing il with the concern had not the s li g ht es t notion and i plain tiff and all others con ti nue d t o transact business with the th e COO. cern down to the time of the stoppage upon the supposition what at A place , t h t. t e e time After thingstho j h a e nlv u oe n anr q tv i (t o e o s f that Deflinne continued to be , tionably was, a member of the tirm. 1837, when the secret dissolution d took e , exactly arehou a s s e , t hbeey Has dot- ti le' so far as the world was concerned, before.

O n th e 4th o f J une h e wrote a letter from London, to Todd. Certain acceptances were thee falling due; and, before Deflinne went to London, it wasr ranged that Todd should borrow money from the pla d t The money was accordingly,borrowed. In the letter whie had been written from London, Deflinne spoke of Todd' s honesty, said he would withdraw his guarantee from the bank and put an end to the financial embarrassmen ts of the concern, and he enclosed a circular which b e directed to be sent out to the creditors. Todd immedi ately called his creditors together, executed an assignmem for their benefit, and then a commission of bankruptcy was taken out. Deflinne made every effort to carry the choice of assignees, conscious as he must have been of the nature of his participation in the concern. and canvassed tae creditors for that purpose. After that, he was afraid that Todd would develop all he knew about the concerts, and' at one time, said—" If it had not been for me, the er°", ditors would never have trusted von, Todd ; " and this was absolutely and truly the fact. The points of law which the case involved were few and simple. He (Mr. Baines) took it as a perfectly clear proposition of law that where a person had been a dormant partner in a concern, that was to sag. where his name appeared not in the concern, if he was o , t , known as a partner, h e m i g ht re ti re a t any t i me w i t h ou t ris k of liability for any subsequent engagements of partnership; but that if he was known as a partner, and acted so as to be known, he never could defend himself against any oblige' Lions which that partnership might contract, unless the creditors had distinctly and individually received notice that he had departed from the concern. The principle had been. laid down in Mr. Justice Storey's work on partnership, Pag 6 247, that where a partner was dormant and unknown, notice to creditors was u nnecessary ; b ut that where he was known' notice was necessary. The learned counsel referred to the case of " Carter v. \Valley," in Barnwell and Adolehas, page 11, in which Mr. Justice Littledale said that if the plaintiff knew the defendant to have been a partner at any time, notice of retirement from the firm was necessary ; an d then contended that Mr. Deflinne's liability continued; even if he were not a partner after 1837, unless he sent notice of the dissolution to his creditors. But no such notice had been sent to the plaintiff; not, a servant about the establish' ment had the slightest notion . of the dissolution ; every one believed Mr. DL ilinne to continue a member of the firm ; a" the same books were used after the alleged dissolution which had been used before. If, then, the jury were satisfied that Deflinne was either a member of the firm down to the time of the stoppage, or that he conducted himself in such a manner as that the plaintiff must have known and believed hint to be a member of the firm, the plaintiff would be en titled to a verdict ; and, in giving that ver di c t, the jury would give it strictly in consonance not only with the lag , but the justice and necessity of the case. The examination of witnesses to prove the case on the part of the jilaintiff occupied the attention of the court anal" rising, at seven o'clock. ttptitifei CROWN COURT.—SATURDAY. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) THE ST. HELENS MURDER Wilmot Buckley, aged 22. painter, was indicted for the wilful murder of Elizabeth Buekiey, hiS wife, at Eccleston► near St. Helens, on the 27th November last. According t ° the calendar he could read and write imperfectly. The occurrence created a great sensation'at the time, which did not appear to have abated, for at eight o'clock all the seats appropriated to the ladies were fill e d w ith elegantly dressed females, and low , before his lordship took his seat every avenue leading to the court was crowded. His Lordship took his seat at a quarter past nine. The prisoner had a respectable appearance, and was well dressed for his station in life. He had on a suit of black. and a black silk handkerchief about his neck. lie walked up to the dock firmly, and pleaded not guilty with rather a weak voice. Dr. Brown appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Jainco defended the prisoner. Dr. littowN stated the particulars of the case with much calmness and judgment, and called the following wit- nesses Jane Rigby.—l am the wife of John Rigby, of Green Bank, in Eccleston. Our house is just at the entrance of St. He len's, from Prescot. The prisoner and his wife lodged with me on the 27th September last. They had not been long married. She on that day had been at home the greater part of the day. He went to church that afternoon, and came home a little after four. They went out together a little after that. I heard no difference between them all the time they were with me. Th e d eceased, on going out said, 6. Mrs. Rigby, will you please to leave the key in the mug under tha door, as Wilmot and I are going out for a walk." They had sometimes on Sunday gone out for a walk. I was in the habit of leaving the key in that place. I went out myself about six, and l e ft t h e k ey when she desired me. I returne d a little past seven, and found the key where I left it. I took the key and opened the door, and put the key back again. About a quarter before nine the prisoner came in. lie let himself in through the front door, which was unlocked. When he Came in he said, " Mrs. Rigby, has Elizabeth come home ?" and I said, " No." He then said, "We went to the Bird-iia-hand to have each a glass of rum, and in coming' HI stopped at a lane end near where Samuel Clough lived. ouse v near St. Helens, at a place between M o rton. ouse and the Bird-in-hand) I told her to go on, and would overtake her; I did not stop more than eight or ten minutes before I walked after her, expecting to overtake her, but I did not, and I asked two or three people I met if the'', met a wom an o f t h at description. I could hear nothing Hof her. I th oug h t she had, perhaps, gone to my siste r Marys , who li ves i n the town, and Ihave been, but she was not there." I said she is, perhaps, at Mrs. Barker's next door , ; He said, " I cannot tell ; I will make a fire at all events. He made a fire in his own room where they usually sat. He went into Mr s . Barker's, and said, " She is not there ;" and he then went into the parlour to his brother-in-law, the hus band of Mary, the prisoner's sister. He stopped in till A quarter-past nine. I was awoke by the prisoner at a quarter past eleven ? who said, " Mrs. Rigby, I cannot find Elizabeth nowhere." I said, where have you been, and he went into his bedroom ; and he said, " Why, Mrs. Ri g by, Eli za beth could not think o f stopping, as she has left her keys in her box." I said, no ; how,could she intend to stop, when she told me to leave the key. I heard no more of him that night. I got up about half-past five next morning, and lighed a can dle, and went to his bedroom door. I called out, Wilmot , once, and he did not answer ; and I then called out again, and he answered. I said, Elizabeth has not come. fie said , " No." I then told him to get up, and see if she had See e to Ashton. He got up soon after, and left the house about half-past six. Deceased had said that her mother wished her to be confined at Ashton. She was near her time. did not see the prisoner again until Wednesday. I saw a handkerchief, near where the body was lying in a stable, on Monday, about eight in the morning. A man of the name of Glover was there. It was Elizabeth Bucklev's handker chief, and was bloody. Cross-examined.—I had not the handkerchief in my hand° that morning, though I had when I put her into the coffin on,, Wednesday. H e was i n t h e b ahit of being away for a wee' in search of work, an d returning on Saturday night. He al ways appeared kind to his wife. When they went out they appeared on .good terms. She sometimes expressed herself as being jealous of o th er young women, but enerally in ge, e humour, and never appeared in a bad temper g when comPleln ing of this. I told her never to mind unless she saw some: thing herself; for, I said, jealousy damns many_a soul and commits. many a murder. She Was at this time in perfect good humour. Peter Robinson said,--I keep the Bird-in-the-Hand pub lic-house. I k now Green Blink.. It is about a mile from our house.
