On Saturday morning the inhabitants of Waterloo-lod; London, and th e s t ree t s a dj acent to i t, were alarmed by the Ye port that a woman named Eliza. Greenwood, residing at No. 12, Wellington-terrace, had beed inhumanly murdered in the course of, the preceding night.. The report of the alleged mur der was first given by a man lodging at Nri". /2, Wellington terrace, who, at six o'clock on Saturday morning, was observed to run out of the house calling police, and ejaculating that mur der had been committed. At the end of the terrace the man alluded - to met policeman 31 - , L, and having apprised him that a woman had been murdered, he (the policeman) immediately proceeded to the house, and on entering the back parlour. which is fitted op as a bed-room, he beheld a female, aboul2s veaca of age, lying on the floor with her throat cut in a dread ful manner, arid quite dead. The body was lying near the en trance into the room, and there were- several cuts or gash6a . across her hands, as if she had strnggled'against her assailant. From the inquiries made by the police, it appeared, that the uti fortunate woman, who-is described as having been remarkably handsome, had been for some time living with a. man at the, house in Wellington-retrace. On Friday night Eliza Greenwood left home in the early part of the afternoon, and returned at twelve o'clock the same night, when her servant, a young girl, perceived that she was accom panied by a gentleman, and having gone up stairs from the kitchen without a candle, asked her if she should return down stairs and strike a light. H e mistress, however, desired her to go to bed, adding that she should get a light herself, as she knew in what part of the room the tinder-box was to be found. As this conversation took place in the dark inthe passage of the house, the servant had no opportunity of distinguishing the features of the person by whom her mistress was accompanied, but she describes him to be a well-dressed man, rather tall and of gentlemanly appearance, so far as the light of the night enabled her to see. Tnat she (the servant girl) then went rtow❑ stairs, and she heard her mistress and the gentleman enter the back parlour, which is the bed-room, and shut and lock the door after them. The servant girl, however, says she heard no noise during► the night, and that the first intimation she had that her mistress was murdered was on hearing the man, under whose pvotection •she was living, and who slept in the house, giving the alarm, at six o'clock in the morning. The man with whom the unfortunate woman was known tohave been living for a considerable time, has given the following ac count of all he says he knows of the transaction :—He states, that he slept in the house with the deceased on Friday night, •but not in the same room, and that he was in the habit of going out of a morning► as early as six o'clock. That on Monday morninii, when begot up and went down stairs, he saw the can dlestick on the mat at the street door, and being rat her surprised at the circumstances he went to the back parlour door, and opening it:was horror struck on seeing Eliza Greenwood with her throat cut from ear to ear. That he immediately gave the alarm in the house, and apprised the watchman on duty of what had occurred. He adds, that he was asleep in a room up stairs at the time the deceased -came home with the gentleman, and that he was not aware of the latter fact until he was informed by the girl that such was the case. From the wounds inflicted on the deceased's hands, there is no doubt that she had been murdered. - FURTEIFII PARTICULARS. (From the Standard of Wednesday.) On Monday evening, immediately after the inquest was ad. ponied on the body of Eliza Greenwood, the unfortunate woman who was murdered on Saturday morning last, at No. 12, Wellington-terrace, in the Waterloo-road, Mr. Cooke, sur geon, accompanied by other professional gentlemen, proceeded to the house for the purpose of making a more minute examin ation of the body after it hail been divested of the clothes in which it was enveloped than these gentlemen had previously an opportunity of accomplishing. The examination occupied nearly three hours, and the result was as follows " On examining the body of Eliza Greenwood, besides the ~rnunds already described, a.wound wasdiscovered at the bottom 1' the sternum, which penetrated the right cavity of the chest, but not to any very great depth. A iiout three inches lower another puncture was found which had entered the abdomen. There was also another slight wound about two inches below t ) he.left nipple, but which,. although it was firstsupposed to have penetrated to the heart, was found not to have entered far into cchest. . Beside the above, there was also a slight wound on 11/5-,Ntehead. The above wounds, with the ex ce pt ion o f th e one on the forehead, were of an irregular description, and.h a d th e IRpearaupe.ior being -caused by stabs. The irregularity pro 'CcOeti„,,in probability from the instrument w i th w hi c h th e %.74 11.1 40 Aeia.iutlicted having struck against a busk wornby the ileceaSect - The wound on the back of the neck penetrated be tween the third and fourth vertebra, and the-wound in the throat had completely divided the carotid artery, and had also com pletely revered the windpipe." Notwithstanding a surmise to the contrary has been expressed, Mr. Crooke is of opinion that the first wound inflicted on the un- Cnrtunate woman was that at the back of the neck, and that it was inflicted nut only by a heavy instrument, but by a most powerful arm. .Since the discovery of the wounds on the body of the deceased, it is now put beyond the shadow of a doubt that the weapon used in the perpetration of this inhuman massacre was not a razor, as was at first imagined, but an extremely sharp-pointed instrument, and one of the medical men is strongly prepossessed with the opinion that all the wounds, those in the neck included, were inflicted with one of those long-bladed Spanish knives with a spring to prevent its closing at the handle end of the blade. Inspector Field has succeeded in discovering the cabman who conveyed the deceased and the individual who accompanied her 'borne from the Strand Theatre. His statement is that the de ceased was accompanied by a gentleman answering the descrip tion deposed to at the inquest. After calling the cab a-conten. lion arose between the deceased and her friend, which lasted about four minutes, during which the gentleman several times said, " A.m Ito go with sou ?" The deceased then paid the • cabman his fare, and they both proceeded in the vehicle over Waterloo-bridge, and were set down within about foar doors off 'No. 12, into which house they were seen to enter by the cab man. Daring the words which took- place between - them pre vious to their entering the cab the gentleman was frequently - heard to address her as " Lizzy," the name she was generally known by. Hubbard, the man with whom the deceased cohabited, is still in the house, from which he is not allowed to depart, the police keeping a strict surveillance over him. He has scarcely tasted a morsel of food since the dreadful occurrence, but has remained in a state of mental abstraction, his time being occu lied in smoking tobacco most immoderately. It has transpired that on the policeman who was first called -in after the discovery of the horrid transaction entering the -room in which the body of the deceased was found, he observed the man Hubbard take up 7s. in silver, which were lying on the dressing-table, and quietly put them in his pocket. The circumstance at the time excited no surprise, but it has since -given rise to-a deal of-conversation and surmise. A remarkable fact is related of the unfortunate deceased - - namely, that at the period of the murder of Maria Martin, by --Corder, Eliza Greenwood was at that particular time on a visit at a friend's house in the immediate vicinity, and that she was the first p erson w h o entere d-th e R e d Barri,- *here the murder was committed, aud beheld the mangled corpse of the ill-fated girl. "-IT'S ALL A-.MISTAKE ;" OR, A .WORD 'FOR VIE TAIL. (From the Morning Herald.) " Dixit abbas ad priorisi Tu es - bongo Boni moris, Quia semppr sanioris Mihi das consilia,' " When PrOtesiant England, some nine sulniners past, Made a blunder—we wish we, might call it herllast, Certainpeople agreed—the-suggestion their own— To abjure all designs on her church and her throne.

The Pope read, and. muttered "Well, .spira me tight! It's a puzzler—l'll think of an answer to-night; s o pereyere licet,' " says he to the querist.

The presentation, by—the , Marquis - of 'TIONDONDERRY, of a petition from the West-end tradesmen, for the postponement of the ," coronation," called forth some curious conversation, Earl Fitzwilliarn designating that ceremonial as an idle and useless pageant. _ _ The consideration of the poor relief (Ireland) bill occupied the remainder of the evening. There was a good deal of discussion previously to their Lot d ships resolving into committee on the bill. The Earl of RODEN moved as an amendment that their lordships.resolve into committee that day six months; but the amendment was eventually withdrawn, and the house went into committee. After extended debate, in the course of which Lords Fitz. gerald, Melbourne, and Brougham delivered their opinions, it was adjourned till Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. Mr. Heneage was sworn, and took his seat for Devizes; and a new writ was ordered for the county of Linlithgow, in the room of Mr. James Hope, who has accepted the Chiltern H undreds. NEGRO APPRENTICESHIP'. The order of the day for taking into consideration the reso lutions relating to negro apprenticeship in the West Indies having been read, Sir G. GREY rose, pursuant to notice, and, in the course of a speech of some length and ability, adverted with considerable severity to the conduct of the recent meeting at Exeter Hall, and complained of the eager and injudicious haste with which tidings bad already been sent out to the West Indies of the un expected adoption of the resolution of Sir Eardley This fact alone rendered it imperative upon ministers to lose no time in taking measures to counteract what he must calla wicked attempt to create an impression which might otherwise be productive of the most fatal results. His anxiety was to pro. test the peaceable but hopeful negroes from the grossest delu sion; and he claimed of the house, that it would lend its aid in securing adherence to a course of policy consistent with reason, justice, and enlightened benevolence. He concluded by moving—." I. That, in order to prevent - the injurious conse quences which may follow from the intentions of parliament being left in doubt, and in order to maintain the peace and wel fare of the colonies, it is necessary to declare that, in the opi nion of this house, it is not advisable to adopt any proceedings for the purpose of giving effect to the resolution of the 22d of May.-2. That this house, at the seine time, declares its opi nion that no means should be omitted which can tend to secure to the negro population of her Majesty's colonies the privileges to which they are entitled under the act for the abolition of slaVery, and under the act for the amendment of the slavery abolition act: and further, that the anxious attention of this house will be directed to the state and condition of the negro population, when the, expiration of the term of apprenticeship shall have entitled them to the full enjoyment of entire free dom.", Si! E. WiLmoT said he was, perfectly ready, if the amend : which he intended to propose were successful, to in troduce a bill for the purpose of carrying out the resolution of the 22,1 of May, which would include provisions to confer secu rity upon the negro, and safety to the masters, and would place the negro exactly in the position of the free labourer in England. lf, however, his amendment should be unfortunately lost, he would not only say what he should do, but he would take any and every constitutional course which was open to .him for the purpose of effectuating the resolution of the 22d of May. He proposed, then, by way of amendment, to leave out all the words in the original motion after the word " that," for the purpose of inserting words to this effect :—" That it is the opinion of this house that the resolution passed on the 22d of May should be carried into effect by means of a legislative enactment; due -provision being made to secure the peace of the colonies, and to promote the full enjoyment of equal rights among all classes." Mr. VILLIEeS seconded the amendment. A long debate ensued. The speakers were Mr. Barron, Mr. Sergeant Jackson, Mr. Hulton, Sir G. E. Grey, Mr. Ward, and Mr. Ellice, who said, that if the interests of the masters alone bad been at stake, those he would have compensated in money ; but he objected to the immediate abolition, not for the sake of the master, but of the negro. Before the negro could be safely set at large, you must provide a poor law—a vagrant law—an improved currencv—and you must remodel the dis crepant legislatures of the different colonies. These were works of some time and care. Sir H. INGLIS and Mr. BAINS followed, and were succeeded by Sir ROBERT PEEL, who very emphatically stated his objection to a resolution which was avowedly not to be followed up by a bid, but which reserved a former deliberate resolution, affected to repeal a solemn act of Parliament, and sought to involve the house in difficulties, not only without the accomplishment of any good purpose, but with the mischievous consequence of ex pectations of the negroes. If the resolution of the hon. mem ber-for Warwickshire were permitted to remain unrescinded, an impression might get abroad, that,. the legislature having abdicted its functions," th e y devolved upon Exeter Hall; a heavy blow would be struck at the influence of parliament, and it might even be deprived hereafter of the power of holding the balance of justice between the planters and the slaves with a firm and steady hand. i%lr. O'CoNriE LI, supported . the amendment, and was followed by 'Lord STANLEY, who opposed it. After a few remarks from Dr. LUsHINGTON, Lord JokIN RUSSELL declared - his determination to oppose the amendment, and said, if the resolutions proposed by the government were carried, the effect would be, that the act for the emancipation of the negroes would go on, and time would then he given for the preparation of the various measures ne cessary on the alteration which would take place in the condi tion of the negro population in 1810. If the house did not in terfere to limit the period stipulated for the continuance of the apprenticeship system, and thus create irritation, th e b es t re . suits might be expected ; b u t if those expectations were disap pointed, then the hciuse would have to thank itself, or those who had attempted to mar a fair experiment, should confusion and irritated feelings take the place of order and harmony. The house then divided, when there appeared—For the mo tion. 250; for the amendment, 178; majority-72. It was agreed that the house should sit next day, (Tuesday), and proceed with the Irish Municipal Corporations bill. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at two o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. After the presentation of many ,petitions, Sir STRATFOR D CANNING deferred his motion regarding the Vixen till June 11 On the motion that the house resolve into committee on the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill, Sir R. PEEL brought forward his promised views of the measures regarding Ireland'generally, giving . utterance to them in the hope ofadjusting the questions respecting the poor, tithes, and the church, and the muniCipal Corporation (Ireland), and thus securing tranquillity to the country. He thought, first, that there must be some legal provision for the destitute poor of Ireland. On the second ' point he was prepared to proceed to the adjustment of the tithe question, by making tithes a "rent charge," but leaving the church as it now is, ex:.i,pt to equalise livings, to limit pluralities, and to correct abuses. The princi ple of, "appropriation" to make no pert of the arrangement, as he considered that the sense of the country was with him, and decidedly against that principle. On the third measure, though he still retained his opinion on the subject of the corporations, he admitted that there•was no hope of satisfactorily adjusting it, without proceeding on the basis of the English arid Scotch cor porations, an elective constituency, and ,a £lO qualification. The right hon. baronet abstained from details, limiting himself to general and temperate observations, but declaring that, if the propositions now made were not acquiesced in d ur i ng th e present, sessen, he should feel w arran t e d in acting as if he had not made them. Lord J. RUSSELL expressed the satisfaction with which he had heard the conciliatory propositions and observations ' • he considered that they could no t t a il to b e use f u l an d tranquillis ing to Ireland, and beneficial to the country generally. He was anxious to make every concession for the sake of peace, and the adjustment of these important Irish questions, that would not compromise the utility and efficiency of the measures. He afterwards remarked that he did not propose the "appropriation" clause only because he thought he could not carry it. Mr:o' CoNNEt.i, feared that the proposed arrangement had more reference to the strength and views of parties than any reference to the feelings and wishes of the people of Ireland. Mr. WARD said that, notwithstanding the diplomatically managed proceeding between the opposition and the govern ment, he did not abandon the "'appropriation" clause, and he should afford those who thought with him the opportunity of re cording their opinion by moving an instruction to the com mittee on the Tithes (Ireland) Bill to insert an appropriation clause, and would take the sense of the house on it. After remarks from Mr. Strew, Lord CLEMENTS, &c., the bill was committed pro forma; no part of it was proceeded with, but deferred till Friday. The other orders of the day were then disposed of. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDA Y. The-SPEAKER entered the house at the usual hour, but there being only 27 members present at four o'clock, the right hon. gentleman adjourned the house. PILOTAGE NEW BILL, is now before the House of Commons for the Extension of thel , rench System of Centralisation to Pilotage. In the 6th year,o(tbe reign of George the Fourth, an act was passed which gave to the Trinity House of Deptford Stroud, authority "to appoint . sub-commissioners of pilotage to any port or place in England, except within the liberty of the Cinque Ports, and all other - ports or places for which particular provision shall have been made , by any act or acts of parliament, or by any charter or -charters for the appointment of pilots." The present bill extends the authority of the Trinity House of Deptford Strond to all porta and places, except as is pointed out in the following clause "-Provided always, and be it enacted, that no such Commis sioners be appointed by the said corporation, either for any port or district being at the time of the passing this act in mat ters of pilotage, within the jurisdiction of the Court of Load manage of the Cinque Ports, or for the Ports of Hull, New castle or Leath respectively, but that from the commencement of the operation . of this act the said court of Load-manage, or such and so many persons being members thereof as the same court shall from time to time appoint in that behalf, shall he the Commissioners of Pilotage for the respective ports or dis tricts so being within the jurisdiction of that court; and the corporations of the Trinity House of the ports of Hull, New castle and Leith respectively, or such as many persons being members of the said corporations respectively as they shall from time to time respectively appoint in that behalf, shall be the CommissiOners of Pilotage for the said last-mentioned ports res pectively; and the said Court of Load-manage and Corpora tions respectively shall have such and the same powers of re moving any commissioners appointed by them as aforesaid, and of filling up an y vacancies whi c h may _ occur i n the office of commissioners for the said ports respectively, as are by this act vested in the said corporation in Trinity.

Fitzwilliam, commonly called Ear! Fitzwilliam, having in his place in the House of Lords on Monday night bravely and publicly denounced the ceremony of the coronation of the Queen of England as AN IDLE AND RIDICULOU* PA GEANT," inasmuch as "in these present days of refinement no one attaches any importance to the bauble being placed upon the Sovereign's brow,"—we, the Round-heads and Ranters of these realms do hereby return our especial thanks to the said C. W. W. Fitzwilliam for his courageous denunciation thereof; and we congratulate him more especially for having had the courage to show his utter conte m pt of what are called the laws of gallantry, by waiting till the occasion of a female sovereign before he said a word against coronations. It is to be hoped that her Majesty will feel much obliged to him, and will at once sub herself and all her doings to the guidance of C. W. W. Fitzwil liam's superior wisdom ; and that he will eventually have the glory of leading back the government and the people to the beautiful simplicity observed at the time of the Commonwealth, when the shining lights and leaders of that enlightenedera did— Quarrel with minced pies, and disparage Their best and dearest friend, plum-porridge— Fat pig, and goose itself oppose And blaspheme custard through the nose ! But at the same time that we give our especial thanks to the said W. Fitzwilliam for his valiant attack upon the young wo man who is called the Queen, and for his earnest endeavour to deprive her of all the pumps and vanities of this wicked world, we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that he himself retaineth in his own person a pretty considerable disreputable portion of the said pumps and vanities. For instance, he calleth himself "Charles William Wentworth Fitzwilliam—Earl Fitzwilliam in Ireland, Viscount Milton, and D.C,L., of Wentworth-house, Yorkshire; of Milton-park, Northamptonshire; of Coolatin, in Ireland; and of Grosvenor-place, in London. What need hath he of all these names and idle titles ?—what need bath he of such strings of lacqueys in gaudy lace-beplastered liveries and powdered polls ?—what need bath he of so many mansions, and of a 11 the vain baubles with which his gilded saloons are cratnm'd ? —what need hath he of those mantles, and shields, and horse shoe-swallowing ostriches, and plumed crests emblazoned on the panels of his glittering coaches in all the pride of barbarous heraldry ?—What need hath he of those crimson robes "pow dered with miniver" and " barr'd with ermine" in which he arraveth himself on high days and holidays?'—and lastly, what need bath he of that bauble coronet which he sometimes tries to balance on the top of his head at the expense of a terrible head ache? Does he think his loyalty is added to by his display of these vanities? Not a bit of it ! He is not one jot more loyal than he would be if he had not a sixpence to bless himself with. Does he think "in these present days of refinement" that any one " attaches importance" to his strings and bis titles, his gold lace and his worsted lace, to his miniver and his ermine and his iron-eating ostriches, and his bauble coronet? Not a bit of it! People know that "loveliness needs not the foreign aid of ornament," and nobody thinks him one jot the hand somer for all these things. Let him abandon them. Let him—remembering that exam ple is better than precept—set the young Queen a practical ex ample; let him trample his own bauble under foot; let him send his robes to Rag Fait; let hint mop out with good coal tar the heraldic emblazonings from the panels of his carriages, let him unlace his lacqueys,—let him in short, like good old Lear in the thunderstorm, lay hold of his last new satin waistcoat with the greatest energy imaginable and exclaim, " Off, off, you !endings! come, unbutton here!" and then having thus laudably reduced himself to that bare radish-like animal—an unaccommodated man and plain Mr. Fitzwilliam, he may coil; sistently clamour against the pomps and vanities of a coronation. THE BALLOT. Among many extravagant absurdities, the advocates of the Ballot have proposed that the secrecy which no mode of voting can secure, shall be enforced by the indictment and punishment of the person who divulges the name of the candidate in whose favour he recorded his vote. The following amusing report of a supposed case, gives a just and intelligible view of what would be the practical result of any statutable attempt to enforce the the secrecy of the ballot. We take it from the last number of the Quarterly Review : THE QUEEN V. A. B. For revealing his Vote at the last Election for the City. Attorney-General (to wit ness) —Do you know A.B. an elector of the City of London ? Witness—Yes; that's he at the bar. Attorney-General—Had you ever any conversation with him about his vote at the last election ? Witness—Yes : on the Saturday night after the election, after, we had drank three pots of porter each at the " Devil and the Bag o'Nails," behind the Mansion House, I asked him haw he had voted. Attorney-General—Well, and what answer did be make ? Witness—He said he had voted as I did. Attornev-General—How did you vote? Chief Justice--Stop Mr. Attorney : you are really asking the witness to commit the offence you are prosecuting. Attorney-General—Then, my lord, I wave the question, but I submit that I have already proved that the prisoner revealed his vote; for, as the witness must have known which way he himself had voted, he must also, ex necessitate, know how the prisoner had _voted. Chief Jsistice—l beg your pardon, Mr. Attorney, but you have not vet proved that the prisoner could have known how the witness had voted, so that what he said may have been mere random talk. Yriu must go a little further. Attorney-General (to witness)—Did he make any reply when he said that he had voted as you did? Witness—l said, " What then, you voted for Grote ?" Chief Justice—Really, M r. Attorney, this is very irregular. —You are snaking your own witness subject himself to an indictment. Attorney General—l submit, my lord, that lam quite regu lar. The witness had a right to state, at his own peril, what passed; but, moreover, this expression—" What, then, you voted for Grote ?" is not an assertion, but a mere interrogation. Nothing like such a confession as the witness could be indicted on. Chief .Tustice—Very well; go on. Attorney-General—Now, I ask you, sir, by virtue of the solemn oath you. have taken, and in the face of the country, which has its eyes fixed on this great cause; I ask you what answer did he make? Witness—He made none at all. (A laugh.) Attorney-General—What! Did he say nothing? Witness—Not a word ! (Renewed laughter.) Here Mr Croucher, the agent for the prosecution, whis pered the learned cousel.l Attorney-General—Ay, ay, said nothing; but did be do no thing ? Witness—Yes; he winked his eye. Attorney-General—l thought so; he winked his eye. Your lordship will take a note of that—he winked his eye. What fol lowed his eye ? Witness—l asked him what he meant by that? Attorney-General—And what did he say ? Witness—Why he laughed, and said that a wink was as good as a nod to a blind horse. Attorney-General—My lord, that's our case. Chief Justice—Then, gentlemen of the jury, it becomes my duty to observe to vou that it is no case at ail. The only ap proachto proof is, that the prisoner said he had voted as the witness did; but the witness's vote was a secret which the pri soner could not legally know—which you cannot legally know, and therefore these words, so far from amounting to a revelation, seem to me rather to increase the mystery—iynotain per iynotius —particularly, gentlemen, when you recollect that the assertion might he false as well as true; and indeed the legal presumption would be that it was false—because falsehood is, under this soli tary statute, no offence at all—whereas truth would be a transportable misdemeanour; and the law will therefore presume innocence—that is' falsehood—until guilt—that is, truth—shall be incontestibly proved. As to the phrase on which so much stress has been laid, about a blind horse winking— Attorney-General—l beg your lordship's pardon; but the evidence said, "a wink To a blind horse." The distinction is of the greatest importance, and will be duly appreciated by such a jury as I now see in the box. [Here the learned gentleman winked at the jurv.—A laugh.] Chief Justice (looking over his note-book.)—Mr. Attorney is right. The words, as I find them in my notes, are—a 'wink as ,good as a nod to a blind horse ;" but I confess, gentlemen, whichever way you take them, I cannot discover that these words can have any relation to the last general election, norin deed any meaning whatsoever; so that 1 think, vou may safely dismiss them from your consideration, and on the whole,. gen tlemen, 1, presume that you will have no hesitation in acquitting the prisoner. The jury, after a short deliberation, and without leaving the box, returned a verdict of guilty. Chief Justice—How gentlemen—guilty? Foreman.—Yes, my lord, we are unanimously of opinion the prisoner knew very well how the prisoner voted; and that giv ing a wink after saying "a wink was as good as a nod to a blind horse," amounted to giving a nod—that is, to a confession that he had voted for Grote, ' _ _ Chief Justice.—Well, gentlemen, 'tis your verdict, not mine —record the.verdict. Prisoner at the bar—you have been con victed, after a patient trial, by an enlightened jury of your country, on evidence which, although it might not satisfy my mind, owing to my ignorance of the language in which the offence was committed, was sufficient to the twelve intelligent gentlemen whose province it is to decide the question. The offence itself is of the gravest constitutional character, and one which, I grieve to say, is becoming of very frequent occurrence —nothing less than a blow at that great palladium of British liberty, the secrecy of the ballot. lam happy to persuade my self that you had no deliberate intention of violating the law, and that something may be attributed to the quantity of liquor von had drunk—which, though it cannot extenuate the abstract guilt, hut rather, iu fact, aggravates it, yet may be admitted as a proof that there was not that degree of premeditation and wil ful infraction of a great constitutional principle as would call for the infliction of the extreme penalties of the act. Hoping, therefore, that your future conduct in the exercise of the great and solemn trust confided to you by the constitution, may jus tify my indulgence, I shall only sentence you to the lowest punishment provided by the act, that you be kept to hard la bour in Bridewell for three calendar months. Prisoner—My lord, 'tis all an infamous conspiracy against me, trumped up only because every body knows that I refused to vote for Grote, and balloted Palmer. SOMETHING NEW FRoM YANKEE LAND.—A splendid bou quet of flowers, brought over from New York in the Great Western, was presented to a lady of Bristol by one of the pas sengers On the morning of the ship's arrival in King-road. The flowers were in a high state of freshness and beauty, as if they had just been gathered from their parent earth. It is expected that American fruits and flowers will be abundantly supplied to Covent-garden Market before the end of the present sum mer. SECOND EDITION. Standard o . ffice, Three o'Clocl LIVERPOOL MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, JUNE 1. Since our report of Tuesday last, the supplies of Grain and Oatmeal received here coastwise from Ireland have been very inconsiderable, and of Flour only moderate; but from the con tinent of Europe we have to note a further fair arrival of Wheat, with a few parcels of Oats and Flour. ,4W►th as favourable weather as possible during the present week, and the rapid advancement daily in all the growing Crops, the millers, since Tuesday, have been manifestly very inactive; and though Wheat is not expected to approach nearly an average produce, a return of fine fertilizing rains last night and this morning have conduced to render buyers still more cautious and indifferent. The trade in consequence, has been extremely languid fogy al sorts of free Wheat to-day; as the stocks, however, of these descriptions remaining in the granaries of this port are un usually small, holders were not disposed to submit to lower terms, and our last quotations therefore stand unvaried.—Flour also was in slow request, but not cheaper. Barley, though still exceedingly scarce, seemed to meet little inquiry; and Malt, Beans, and Peas were hardly saleable at late prices. Oats and Oatmeal appeared to command much less attention then for some time past, and had sales been practicable beyond a mere retail amount, somewhat lower rates must have been conceded. In the conTse of Wednesday and yesterday, a few further par cels of bonded Wheat were sold at 6s. Gcl. to 7s. 3d. per 701b5.; but in accordance with the existing dolness attached to all free articles, no transactions have been reported this morning. The sales of Flour under lock amount, since Tuesday, to about 2000 barrels, at 265. Gd. to 28s. per barrel. COTTON MARKET—THREE O'CLOCK.. To-day the demand has been but moderate; the sales are 3000 bags, and the market has closed quietly. The business of the week amounts to 37.570 bags, of which 7180 have been taken on speculation, and 1500 for export. There have been forwarded into the country unsold during the present mouth, 4,380 bags; 1400 Surats were offered by auction to-day, and all sold with spirit, at an advance of per lb.

There is every probability of obtaining a brood from the giraffes at the Zoological Gardens in the Regent's-park—a fact very important and interesting to the naturalist.

SHEFFIELD AND ROTHERHAM , RArLWAT.—The works on this line are proceeding with great rapidity. A good portion of the permanent rails are already laid, and it is expected the rail way will be finished in August next.—North Derby Chronicle.

Owing to the number of acres of wheat throughout the coun try, which have been ploughed up, and the thinness of much of that which is remaining, it is to be feared that, under the most favourable circumstances, the ensuing harvest cannot, upon the whole, be a very productive one OFFICE OF SHERIFF REGULATIONS Ilstr...—This bill repeals so much of the Act of Henry the VI., as provides that " no man shall be under-sheriff or sheriffs clerk above a year.. It em powers sheriffs to appoint special constables; exempting electors from serving during the period of an election. It abolishes all fees, gratuities, allowances, and presents, which may hitherto have been given by any high-sheriff in virtue of his offrce, to any judge or to any other person.' It provides `that lodgings for the judges of assize shall be provided at the expellee of the county, the allowance heretofore made by the exchequer to the sheriff being paid to the treasurer of the county. It relieves the sheriff from meeting the judges at places distant from the assize town, only requiring the sheriff to meet the judges at their lodgings or town or country-house.'" The rights, customary usages, and privileges of the Universities, London, Westmor land, and the counties palatine of Chester, Lancaster, and Dur• ham, are preserved untouched. ic RIOT AND Loss OF LIFE AT PRESTON.—We regret that it should have become our duty to place on record the particulars of some very distressing occurrences which have taken place in the immediate neighbourhood since our last. On Monday, it seems that in consequence of some accident having happened to a part of the steam department at the factory of Messrs. Bashall, a short distance from Tardy Gate, the workpeople were not employed; very unfortunately, as the result proved, a number of them went to the " Sumpter Horse" public-house, where they fell in with a party of Irish railway labourers, and when the liquor was in and brains out, they got to quarrelling with each other, and a fight ensued, in which one of the mill workmen had the worst of it. After the fight, the Irish labourers sallied forth from the house, and proceeded to different cottages tenanted by English families, where they committed great excesses, in breaking the furniture, and alarming the in mates by the most violent threats. It seems that this defeat had created feelings of strong resentment in the mill workpeople, and that a great number of the neighbouring agricultural labourers sympathised in these feelings, and readily proffered themselves to assist in wiping off the stain. On Tuesday even ing an exceeding large number of these combined classes met, and they were armed with all sorts of offensive weapons, among others, from 12 to 20 guns ; and being so compacted, they pro ceeded to the quarters of the Irish labourers, the consequence of which was that an affray took place; one person was shot dead, and various others were wounded in the most shocking manner. The shot by which the man waskilled was fired from the window of one of the cottages occupied by the Irish la bourers; but by whom does not clearly appear. There has not been any subsequent outbreak, and we sincerely trust, for the credit of the neighbourhood, that there will not be. A com pany of the 86th foot (under the command of Lieut. Edward s ) whichhad been sent f or f r om Blackburn, arrived about noon on Tburulay, a detachment from which has been stationed on the spot, to be ready in case of any further outrage. On Thursday an inquest was held on the body of John Trafford, the man who was killed, and after hearing the evidence that could be pro cured, the jury returned a.verdict of " manslaughter against some person or persons unknown."—Preston Pilot. DEFENCE OF THE ALLEGED CRUELTY OF NATURALISTS.— If the wonderful structure of the lower orders of creation cannot be studied or understood, or their infinitely varied forms held in iernembrance, without hastening by a few days or hours the termination of that brief career which in truth scarcely ever meets with a strictly n a t ura l en d , then is the student of nature following out the principles of an elevating and intellectual pur suit, all well entitled to command a portion of animal life as he who, to pamp er t h e re fi ned grossness of a sensual ap p e tite, bleeds his turke} s to death by cutting the roots of their tongues, boils crabs an d lobsters alite, and swallows unsuspecting . ters by the score.—Encyclopeedia Britannica, new edit., Animal Kingdom. COFFEE AFTER WINE.—The system now adopted, in imita tion of the French custom, of taking very strong coffee after wine, though so very agreeable, is injurious, if the wines taken during the meal have been Port, Sherry, and Madeira, but not so if those of a lighter quality have been drunk. Great excite ment attends upon this indulgence, for coffee has a great influ ence upon the stomach, and likewise upon the brain, Watch fulness of long duration, with a feverish reaction, are its immediate effects; but its distant ones are more upon the ex treme capillary vessels of the surface of the body, which it see ms to •constringe, and it effects the skin, t o which it gives a peculiar harshness ; and it has been said by someof the French writers to give it colour; and the sallowness of the m Parisian has to ' the great been, by ore than one medical author, ascribed addiction to coffee.—Dr. Si9rnond.

SOVEREIGNS.—The term sovereign., as applied to a piece of money, is not new in the history of our coinage, for so far back as the reign of Edward VI., who brought the gold used at the Mint to its original purity, which had been greatly debased by his predecessors, there were both sovereignsand half-sovereigns. THE OLDEST APPLE IN DEVON.—There is now in the pos session of Mr. Daniel Harvey, residing in the parish of Ex minster, an apple which was growing in St. Sidwell's, in the year 1787.

It was grown in a bottle—the bottle being fastened to the branch, and closely sealed as soon as it was cut. It is now as fresh as ever, and may be seen by any one who will call on Mr. Daniel Harvey.—Sherborne Jowrnal. STATE OF TRADE"—The improved demand for twist which has existed• for two or three weeks past still continues; arid , though there is no material change in price, sales are more easy to make than they were a week ago. For printing cloths there was a very active demand at the close of last week; and though it teas slackened a little during the last two days, prices continue very firm. There is also an improved demand for domestics, and other stout calicoes, which had previously been very much depressed;, and the good's market generally has exhibited de cided symptoms of improvement. Th e accounts from the wool len anti worsted markets in Yorkshire is also, we understand, decidedly favourable:-31anclvester Guardian.

The match was for twenty pounds a-side, between Robert Forbister and John Brown, both natives of Newcastle, the former an engine-wright, and the latter a white smitb. The fight lasted an hour and twenty-five minutes, du ring which time thirty-seven rounds were fought, he the last round Brown received a blow from his antagonist on the jugu lar, and instantly fell. He was " deaf to time," and Forbister was proclaimed the victor. An inquest was held on Thursday. The jury, without retiring, returned a verdict of manslaughter against Robert Forbister, and' the coroner has since issued a warrant for his apprehension. JOINT-STOCK BANRS —The joint-stock banks in the United Kingdom have a paid-up capital of forty millions. Upon this capital the annual dividends are nearly three-and-a-half millions. The English country joint-stock baules commenced in 1826; their number is about WO,. of which one-half have been esta blished since 1835'; their total paid-up-capital ten millions, and the annual amount of commercial accommodation afforded by them in the shape of discount, &c. is not less than 3t) millions.. From parliamentary returns it appears that the total amount of dividends paid by sixty banks, over and above the amounts of the reserved funds, was £513,112, upon the aggregate paid-up capital of £6,492,86, bring an average of £7 18s. per cent.; and from a calculation of later data, it appears that upon the paid-up capital of £7,830,000 of seventy-six banks the dividends are £632,700, being an average of eight and and-twelfth per cent.; and making an annual profit, including reserved funds, of above £7oo,ooo.—Railway Magazine. MARRIE' AND SINGLE.—I went to a neighbour and solicited a donation for public objects; he replied—" I approve your object, and would assist you, but you know I have a family, and charity begins at home . ' " I called upon a second—he replied, that " such as were able ought to he liberal, and that he had every disposition to aid me, but (added he) there are stronger claims than yours which I am bound to regard—those of my children." A public charity demanded that a messenger should he sent from the city to a remote country. A person was selected whose talents were well adapted to it. He replied that nothing would give him more pleasure, but it was absolutely impossible on account of his family. tie was excused. Two merchants, partners in business, failed. At a meeting of the creditors it was reso l ve d t h at one should b e f ort h w ith released ; but the other because be was a bachelor, might yet, as was his duty, go to work and pay a small dividend. An insurance office was about to appoint a secretary. There were, as usual, twenty applicants. In the discussion of the Board of Directors, the talents of many were set forth, when a member rose and said that the candidate whom he should propose was a a man o f _ mode rate capacity, but that b e was a poor man with family. He succeeded, and holds th e o ffi ce still. A mercantile friend wished me to procure a p erson t o fill a responsible station. A gentle man came who seemed well fitted for the office.

To quiet the conscience, it is doctrine of human merit and supererogation ; to alarm the indifferent, it has fears of purgatory ; to raise the priesthood, they can make a little flour and water into a god and will them selves worship what they make. To give ease to the conscience of the m an o f the world, and the lover of a pleasure, each sin has its indulgence and its penance.

Owing to the very liberal encouragement which we haver received from our advertising friends, and for w hich' we beg leave to tender our grateful acknowledgments , ' we leave come to the resolution TO ENLARGE THE' LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TO THE EXTENT OF SIX AD DITIONAL COLUMNS. .Hitherto we have frequently been under Me necessity of excluding various articles of local interest, and a large proportion of general news, in consequence of the greet press of advertisements with which we have been fa voured. We leave often, also, been forced to the alter native of materially curtailing our reports as well asp our editorial remarks, on , the same account. The pro posed enlargement will enable us to embody a greater share of such intelligence as may be generally useful, and As extend our reports of the various public meet ings, (3'c:, which may , be held in the neighbourhood, as well as to present to our readers a mass of amusing and instructive extracts from modern publications, which latter we intend to make a prominent feature in the STANDARD-. It will also afford tes great pleasure to avail ourselves fo the opportunitywhich the contemplated enlargement of fully thoset h e ST c A o N ns D .er AR v D 11 give atw:pri.principles us for advocating cipiesrowhic hwemho have v e uni formly contended , . The extended patronage which we enjoy shall operate' as a stimulus to increased zeal and energy in defence of that glorious cause to which we' feel an ardent attachment—the cause of the Monarchy. the Church, and the constitution of Great Britain. We are happy to , announce that arrangements are in progress for considerably increasing the number of agents for the sale of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD. When these arrangements are matured, we anticipate a material increase in our circulation, an advantage' which we feel confident will be duly appreciated by our advertising friends. We also flatter ourselves that the great increase of matter which the STANDARD wilt contain in its enlarged form will procure for us ad ditional support front the Conservative public in* Liverpool.

The lines by " W," have been received, and, if approved, shalD appear on Tuesday.

"Is the above sentence correct ? If not, is the inaccuracl sanctioned by the usage of the day ?" We answer to both queries "Decidedly not." Independentlf of a general clumsiness of construction which pervades t he above sentence, the words which we h ave mar k e d i n italics should have been "and that they shall be returned."

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. —Th e news from France is of a very unimp or t ant c h aracter. The affairs of Africa seem to engross much of the attention of the French ex ecutive. It is said that the expedition. , sent by Abdel- Kader into the desert of Biscarra, in the province of Con stantina, had accomplished its object without striking a blow. Many of the tribes have paid to the Emir the taxes formerly levied by the Dey of Algiers. According to accounts from the interior, Abdel-Kaderbis pre paring a formidable ex p e di t i on aga i nst t h e town o f Ai n Mayde, d in the gr ea t d eserts . Marshal Vallee is seriously in, an wishes to return to France. From Spain the news is equally uninteresting. The l ad arrivals bring an account of Cabrera's death ; but be has been "dead" so often in the Christinos papers that there is very little reliance to be placed upon the rumour. It is stated that General Oraa, with five battalions and three squadrons, had effected a junction with Pardinas. Fresh riots had taken place at Guipuzcoa, but General Iturriza had succeed e d in establishing order. Don Carlos is said to have slept on the 20th at Larraun, within three leagues of Estella, and that he was to have left the tat day for Guipuzcoa. The news from Portugal reaches to the 25th instant.. The private letters state that the Portuguese govern ment have refused to sign the slave trade treaty, the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs objecting to grant to England the unlimited right of search ; while others, on the con trary, assert that the treaty has been duly signed. Which. of the statements is true, we have not the means, a t pre sent, of determining. Rernechido and his bands still give great trouble and uneasiness, the government be ing unable to put them down.
