GEORGE'S-CRESCENT LORO-ST.REET, LIVERPOOL, Yesterday week, in London, a singular and fatal acci dent befel a young woman named Jane Yeo, who, while dancing in order to amuse her infant sister, slipped and fell upon a washhand basin, a fragment of which inflicted so severe a wound upon her throat, that she expired within a few minutes. EXECUTION 0 MARY F - ANNE MILNER.-The young married woman, Mary Anne Milner, who was condemned to death by Mr. Baron Rolfe, at the late Lincoln assizes for the wilful mur d er o f h er mother-in-law, Mary Milner ' her sister-in-law, H anna h Ji c k e ll s, and her niece Ellen' Jickells, by means of p o i son i ng th em w i t h arsenic,' expi ated her dreadful offence on the s ca ff o ld on Friday. Baron Rolfe, in sentencing her to death, expressed his firm con viction of her guilt, and held out not the slightest hope of her life being spared. This, it seems, she readily antici pated, for, on her return to her cell, she immediately pro ceeded to seek that mercy which she could not expect in this world. Her attention to the spiritual instructions of the chaplain is described to have been of the most pro found character. She made a full confession of her crimes, and how she accomplished them, in writing, but desired that it might not be made public until she had ceased to live. The utmost time having transpired for a convict to live after condemnation, the extreme penalty of the law was carried into effect on Friday, the enthusiasm of the late election contest having abated. In proceeding to the drop she conducted herself with much composure. The usual preliminaries were quietly arranged, and the drop having fallen, the wretched murderess, after struggling a few seconds, ceased to exist. A VILLAGE SCHOOL FEAST.—The children of the poor have few pleasures or amusements which we can dwell upon. Charles Lamb said they were not brought up but dragged up. Yet one scene in the life of village childhood is like a page out of a better and and older book—and we may rejoice and be glad of it. What scene is this ? Surely the school feast ? A homely and simple custom, yet one which, we ought to be very thankful, is now of frequent occurrence in our country villages. The children are met on the parsonage lawn. A rare summer eve in some quiet village. How those little eyes sparkle with expectation ! It is but tea and bread and butter, or may be a bit of cake. It is but a childish game or a dance on the soft grass. It is but a few kind words of love and looks of affection. How simple the means to touch the heart of the poor man's child ! Now a hymn of little voices goes oufpbtaobtlise a c n le d a r s s u k e y k — lin b g e s st„_ins n t a ru w m a e b n i t t o rs f e o ra f i l s i e g , h ` t ` t l i a l u e g n i i i o te u r t_hs . for the children of the poor can laugh and play, and he innocently am use d ; and who so ready to help the cler gy _li man in all his en d eavours to mend the daily life of flock by all appe a l s t o t h e i r gentler and better nature than the " squire and his good lady ? Though they may not see why some things which appear to them of little im portance are insisted upon, and some of their own im provements not exactly approved of in their way. One, too, there is, a good and gentle form, helping in the wise and happy work—loved by the weak, the young, the mournful, whose mild and cheerful way with the poor goes so far with them ; whose bright presence in the poor ' ' ' ys welcome—even the minister's is near us and around us, of cheer the labouring poor, both oh man's cottage is alw wife. With the men mg and helpin t , it is hard if we do not make some way in the matter to better and kinder state of things.—Oxford and Can • , • id young dge Revie A RUSTIC MATHEMATICIAN.—My object was chiefly that of extending the, small portion of mathematics which the occasional master of Town Bank had been able to give me, but without any one to apply to for assistance when I found myself at a loss, which frequently happened. I was sometimes disposed to shut my book; but, at this -rly neriAri -e early period of my life, I had an inherent and inveterate hatred of idleness, and that feeling has continued to haunt me until the advanced stage of human existence at which Imu now writing. In the midst of this dilemma I was informed that there lived in the hills an old farmer, of the name of Gibson, who went among his neighbours • - nn account of his n of the wis )found knowledge on almost every subject ; that he had reputation of being a thorough mathematician ; that rack, and could calculate eclipses ; 3 schoolmaster, rustic wand, and for that pur- lked some eight or nine mil gave me on ce with such good - - - gratified with the information he iints that had floundered me, and and patience withal, did he in would have said,) that insense me: (as Doctor Wo I repeated my visit three or four times, and should 1 gone at least once more before Quitting home, bad I not telt somewhat ashamed to trouble him on that occasion, which Was the following had puzzled myself for a couple of days a n d n i g ht s w ith a problem in Sunson's Conic Sections, with which, w ith o ut consulting any one, I .' foupd myself so much perplexed and confused, as to despair of ever being able to master.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, THE ELECTIONS, &c. (Continued from page 2.) Sir John Hanmer was elected unopposed on Saturday for the Flint boroughs. Lord Brackley—having been driven from South Lan cashire, and defeated at Newcastle-under-Lyme, is now a candidate for North Staffordshire. BANBURY. — We are sorry that Mr. Mc. Gregor has been defeated for this borough. At the close on Satur day night, the numbers were,—for Tancred, 226; Mc. Gregor, 164, _ _ ' • CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.—On Saturday, the poll at the close for that day was as follows :—Law, 1,143 ; Fielding, 880 ; Goulburn, 868 ; Lefevre, 638. The ma jority of Lord Fielding is now, therefore, reduced to only 12, and the poll will continue open to this evening. THE NEW BOTTLE CONJUROR.—The Patriot Harvey —having slunk from Marylebone—has not only eaten his own words, but jumped down his own throat. He says in his letter that the election might " well be coveted by the highest and purest pretensions." It is then no wonder that Mr. Harvey should have retired.—Punch. POLLING AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY. —Sir Robert Peel voted on Friday for Inglis and Gladstone ; not a plumper for the latter. Amongst the voters on Friday for Inglis and Gladstone was also the Right Hon. Charles W. Wynn, the father of the House of Commons, who was carried into the Convocation-house in a chair. He was loudly cheered both at his arrival and departure. Lord Ashley voted on Friday for Inglis and Round. The number of members polled is, Number of members paired,...... Total, . Above 2,000 members of Convocation have now voted of paired off. STATE OF P Thus far there appears to be a considerable gain to the ministerial cause. No county election has yet taken place. The cities and boroughs from which returns have been made are in number 192. These places have already elected 325 members of the new House of Commons. In the parliament recently dissolved, the Protectionists formed nearly one-fourth of the whole number, and the Peel party were of almost equal strength ; whereas up to this period of the election proceedings, the Liberal party form three-fifths of the number, the other parties_con • ng respectively one-ti this tim The numbers of the .q fnu,,w •—T All/arab:: three p.rf 189 ; Peel 62 ; Pr This contest be severe.

The r it Charl, He spoke with RIOTING AT PRESTON. At Preston, on Thursday evening, when Mr. Parker, the Conservative candidate, was speaking from the Bull Hotel, in Fishergate, the mob were very uproarious, and loud shouts for both sides re sounded through the streets. At this time a large party of the liberal party came up Church-street, having five or six colours with them ; on coming up to the main body of the mob a desperate fight took place ; the blues (the Conservative party) attacked the flags, and though they were well defended for some time, they were eventually pulled down and captured, the poles being broken, and the colours much torn and defaced were carried in triumph to the Bull. The liberal members stood at the window of the Red Lion, and Mr. Parker at the Bull, with many of the principal gentlemen of the town. A stone was thrown, which passed through the window directly over Mr. Par ker's head, and this was succeeded by more, the mob be coming more riotous every moment. There was still one colour of the liberal party remaining, and an attempt was made to take it in safety to the Red Lion, but the true blues made another attack, and after a desperate fight succeeded in capturing it also, and it shared the fate of the others. Stones now began to fly thickly, and the shut ters of the lower windows of the Bull were closed. The fight soon became general, and raged most terrifically for a long time. The pavement of the street was torn up, and a general attack was made upon the Bull Hotel. The inn-yard was bravely defended for some time, but the blues were much out numbered; notwithstanding this, they kept*their posts for a considerable time, the stones flying like hail; in and out of the arched entrance a sally was then made, and for a moment the Liberal party fled in all directions, the street for a long space being as clear as possible. _ Two men were left stretched upon 'the groUnd, but they were carried away by their respective parties. Upon seeing how few there were to oppose them, the Liberal force returned ' • down the Bull yard, and the doOis, with • considerable difficulty; were closed. The work of demolition then be gan; the shutters of the windows were broken with paving stones, and the windows, shutters, and frames smashed in, the upper windows, too, were nearly all broken. The in furiated mob continued to throw large stones through the broken windows, and the furniture in the rooms was much Several valuable pictures suspended against also seriously injured.

Some reform age had been done that it ,nd Fisi were closec FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SUMMARX As the past week has, throughout the country, been mostly spent in electioneering, we_have little commercial intelligence to convey to our readers. Money has been in demand throughout the week ; and, previously to the settling day on the Consol and Share Market 6 per cent was freely paid. Stocks were lower and sellers more nu merous than buyers, in anticipation of an increasing scar city. The Share market was drooping. Our Cotton market at the commencement of the week Was flat, but recovered itself after the arrival of the steamer. The sales for the week were 18,130 bales, of which 3,500 were on speculation and for export. The imports amounted to 22,533 . ba1e5.

Akroyd., The tumult then partly subsided, and Mr heard somewhat more quietly ; but i minutes he sank on the floor, and was carried out of the room quite dead. He was in his 67th year, and had been for some time in a very feeble state of health, so much so, indeed, as to be quite unfit to bear any excitement, and nothing but his high personal respect for Sir Charles Wood Would have induced him to take part in the election. THE REJECTED ONES.-Mr. Macaulay has lost his inse secure hold on the fickle democracy of the modern Athens. A candidate who contributes less directly to the wants of literature has supplanted the brilliant writer. Besides grievances of a more general nature, the quarrel of the Free Church has told in this instance. The expulsion of a Cabinet Minister from his seat is the first instalment of that revenge which so many hundred relinquished kirks and manses will surely exact. A not very respectful sense of security, together with reasons of a more personal and extraordinary nature, have lost another Cabinet Minister his seat for Nottingham. For Mr. Macaulay, we presume, another seat will be found; but whether it will be thought necessary to ransack the three kingdoms in order to re tain Sir John Hobhouse in the Board of Control, we leave to those who are better able to appreciate his services. Bath has dismissed Mr. Roebuck to the pleasures of repose, unless some other constituency should desire to see its name associated with the most interesting and critical debates, and perhaps the most gratuitous squab bles of the legislature. Mr. Gisborne is again seatless, unless an Irish borough is in the market, or an O'Connell to be found. Protestantism has unfortunately lost the advocacy of Mr. Spooner. Mr. Fielden has sunk himself in his own lake at Oldham by tying to himself a millstone of a colleague. Sir Fitzroy Kelly is again without that success he too ardently courts, - and too nearly attain `Winchester has wiped out Mr. Escott. Mr. Mantle Sutton has been sacrificed on the a lt ar of prOtCti - Oni n s;;:t • ox has been thrown upon the government rosources. Perhaps the most wanton and most deplorable act of mere folly has been the deposition of Mr. Hawes from his seat, for, as we believe, the emptiest and most fantastical reasons. TIM NEW MEMBEitS.—The new importations into parliament are of a very mixed character. At first sight one is disposed to apprehend a serious additional inroad on the time, attention, and forbearance of the house ; but the danger diminishes on reflection. Mr. G. Thompson, like many other talkative gentlemen, will find his tether in the senate. Mr. C. Pearson was once very formidable, but is now tame. Mr. Feargus O'Connor is not a very tedious demagogue, and is more imprudent than ill-tem pered, Mr. Urquhart may be safely left in Lord Palmer ston's hands. Serjeant Talfourd will probably be taught the need of that terseness, brevity, and point, which public dinners and juries do not require. Mr. Fox will contribute to the legislature some of his Covent-garden eloquence. As a set off against the generation of talkers, there are some able and eloquent men introduced or re stored to the state. Lord Ashley, the new member for Bath, rests on a firmer basis than the cupidity or the pride of the Dorsetshire agriculturists. Plymouth has returned, in Mr. Roundell Palmer, one of the most able and most promising young lawyers of his day. Mr. Macgregor, long known as the Egeria of our Numas, the chief source of the economical and statistical lore which Ministers interpret to the House, aims, by the favour of Glasgow, to be his own interpreter for the future, with what success we shall see. At least he will no longer fret under the mortification which a Sic vos non robis is sure to inspire. The railway interest is now strong in the house, though not really stronger perhaps than when the chairman and directors canvassed, but could not speak or vote. Cubitt, Locke, Peto, Glyn, Jackson, Mangles, Ricardo, •Sir J. Wahnsley, Cobbold, and Lacey, represent their several lines. The Chairman of the Great Western alone has sustained an unaccountable defeat, and the broad guage laments its greatest hero. A LEGISLATOR IN DIFFICULTII Ur. W. S. Blacl stone has been returned the member for Wallingford. When our despatch was closed on Friday, we left Mr. Blackstone serenely surveying the proceedings of the nomination from an upper window of the bank of Messrs. Wells and Allnatt, in the Market-place, to which place of safety the honourable candidate had effected his retreat, in order to secure himself against a threatened arrest for debt. It appears that more than one sheriff's officer had come to Wanin,,c,-„.,1 - - ~oru on the day of i nomination t o cap t ure the honourable g gentleman, Mayor that lie would n o t answerlefyor w t , ehree peace by of t t t e e borough, if an a tt empt were made to arrest Mr. Black_ stone upon the hustings. The farmers who escorted the protectionist candidate into town, on horseback, came provided with heavy bunting whips, and made no secret of their determination not to permit him to be taken. There was also a party of stout labourers, armed with stout bludgeons, who formed a strong body guard around the honourable gentleman's carriage.

It was thought advisable by Mr. Blackstone's friends that he should sleep at the Bank on Friday night, instead of incurring the hazard of a return to his seat at Howbury. The polling took place on Saturday, and when the clock struck four the crowd assembled under the windows of the Bank, and lustily cheered the success ful candidate, under the impression that he might then safely defy his persecutors.

I€B3 of the staminal principles of nutrition than the entire meal ; and, if to this is added the smallest allowance for the matters destroyed by fermentation, we shall be under the mark in saying, that fermented flour bread contains twenty-five per cent. less of the nutritious ingredients than unfermented meal bread. This loss in quality, together with the loss in quantity given at page 12, fur nishes data for a correct estimate of the relative value of the two as articles of diet. Hence it appears that for every seventy-five loaves of fermented white bread we might possess one hundred of unfermented meal bread ; and in every three of these at least as much nourishment as is contained in four of the other." writers 1847.) PIZARRO AND MS BAND.—On the 24th of September, 1532, five months after landing at Tumbez, Pizarro marched out at the head of his little body of adventurers from the gates of San Miguel, having enjoined it on the colonists to treattheir Indian vassals with humanity, and to conduct themselves in such a manner as would secure the good-will of the surrounding tribes. Their own ex- istetice, and with it the safety of army and the success of the undertaking, depended on this course. In the place were to remain the royal treasurer, _the veedor or the command of the garrison was intrusted to the con- Lador, Antonio Navarro. Then putting himself at the head of his troops, the chief struck boldly into the heart of the country, in the direction where, as he was in formed, lay the camp of the Inca. It was a daring enter prise, thus to venture with a handful of followers into the heart of a powerful empire; to present himself, 1, face, before the Indian monarch in his own camp, en compassed by the flower of his victorious army ! Pizarro had already experienced more than once the difficulty of maintaining his ground against the rude tribes of the north, so much inferior in strength and numbers to the warlike regions of Peru. But the hazard of the game, as I have already more than once had occasion to remark constituted its great charm with the Spaniard. brilliant achievements of his countrymen on the like ok. casion, with means so inadequate, inspired him with con fidence in his own good star; and this confidence was one source of his success._ Had he faltered for a moment. had he stopped to calculate chances, he must inevitably have failed ; for the odds were two great to be combated by sober reason.
