He soon found his way to Lon don, where he married a lady of some fortune, and commenced operations as a stuck-jobber and dealer in bullion. is shrewd ness, constant attention to business, and cautious mode of pro ceeding were rewarded by immense success; and he is said to have died worth an enormous fortune. Mr. Rothschild was a mere dealer in money, coarse in mind and manners, and reck less of the injury he caused to others in the pursuit of his own pro jects.

ELOPEMENT FROM THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, LONDON. — On Wednesday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, se veral young ladies, from the ages of sixteen to twenty years, belonging to a ladies' finishing seminary in the vicinity of St. John's Wood, Regent's Park, were indulged with a promenade in the Zoological Gardens, Regent's Park. On the party ar riving on the north side of the gardens, where the giraffes' habitation is situated, one of the young ladies, about eighteen years of age, was suddenly missed. An immediate search was made throughout the extensive gardens, but not any trace could be discovered of the fair fugitive, until the governess was in formed by some visitors that a young lady answering the de scription was observed hastening out of the gardens with a gentleman, when, on their arrival at .the entrance gates in the Regent's Park, they both entered au elegant cabriolet that was waiting with the gentleman's groom. and drove off at a furious rate through Gleucester gate, taking the new north road, in the direction of Holloway. PacivineNTra Escare.--The family of the Rev. S. Middle• ton, late of Priory-street, in this Wan, but now resident at Thurston Hall, hail, a few days since, a most singular and pro vidential escape. A dog in a rabid condition, after biting se veral other animals, wandered in a state of total exhaustion into the Hall, and was caressed by Mr. Middleton and his chil dren—who supposing it to be the property of a neighbouring clergyman, who with his lady hail just - left the Hall—actually patted it. At that moment the dog appeared perfectly sensible, and obeyed the slightest call: but in a few seconds the pa roxysm returned, and he flew at the man-servant, who most fortunately was enabled to defend himself with a garden hoe, and killed the animal. Thus, it clearly appears, the dog at certain stages of the disea s e has intermiii; nil moments—a fact which renders such cases more alanning, and deserving of can tion.—Citeltenham Journal. • WHITL ELEPHANTS. -- An animal of this rare variety is about to ne presented by the King of. Siam to the Jardin des Plantes at Paris, as a return fur the eNtreine kindness which the Siamese twins met from.the people of the French capital during their late exhibitions. It appears that these youths wrote: in the .most enthusiastic .terms to their parents of the treatment which they met with, and this reaching the king's ears, he determined to evince the gratitude of his nation by this much-prized present. The white elephant is said not to be a separate species of thealass, - .but what. is :callerianaabiao. It has, however, the peculiarity of having natural-coloured eyes, and can bear the alterations of light and darkness without in convenience. It is an animal beyond all price in India. In the time of the ancient Persians it was treated with divine ho nours. The King of Siam has but five in his managerie, . al though very large rewards are constantly offered to persons who can catch the animal in a wild state.-4forniaj Herald. Tue O'CONNELL SouscitieTioN.—The name of Mr. John Ashln, of Mark-lane, is inserted in the - O'Connell subscrip tion list, with EIGO against it. Mr. John Asian ), on bein g asked if he had given .Elul) to the O'Connell subscription , re plied th at h e had not given one penny, or authorised his name to be put down. So much for Mr. Joseph Hume's O'Connell bonds.—Mornin g Post. MANAGING A lic'snaNn.—This is a branch of female educa tion too much neglected • it ought to be taught with "-French, Italian, and the use of the globes." To be sure, as Mrs. Glass most sensibly observes, "first catch your hare," and You must also first catch your husband. But we will suppose him caught —and, therefore, to be roasted, boiled, stewed, or jugged. All these methods of cooking have their matrimonial prototypes. The roasted husband is done to death by the fiery temper, the boiled husband dissolves in the warm water of conjugal tears, the stewed husband becomes ductile by the application of worry, and the jugged husband is fairly subilued by sauce and spice. Women have all a natural genius for having their own was', I still the finest talents, like " the finest pisantry in the world," require cultivation. We recommend beginni ng soon. HORSEWHIPPING AN EDITOR.—When the Rev. Henry Bate Dudley had the management of.the Morning Herald, a person, whose name had been mentioned in the fashionable informa tion, called to know the name of the writer. lie addressed the rev. editor, and complained of what he considered a calumny. Brandishing a stout cudgel, he said his intention was to inflict chastisement on the editor, unless he received the satisfaction he required. You shall have satisfaction, said the doctor. Wait a few moments. He then went up to the press-room, and call ing the men told them he had been threatened by a person in consequence of an article which had appeared in the paper. Now, continued the doctor, you must satisfy him; get your blacking-balls well covered .with ink,. and cone down to my room. They obeyed his instruction, and followed him down stairs. Now, sir, :mid the doctor, you may exercise your cud gel; these men are ready .for you. Before the stranger could make an answer, the printers attacked him right and left with their balls, and drove him out of the office into the street. It is scarcely necessary-to state that his person was as black as any printer's devil could be, and that he never after aspired to the honour of horsewhipping an editor. - • RATHER H A RD.—Lord Langdale has caused to be stuck up in the Rol►s' Court, a notification in the following . words:— " Gentlemen are particularly desired not to talk in court." Some of the bar have been heard to ask, by what other means than by talking in that very court, the noble and learned lord raised himself to the head of it and to the peerage. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. • FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. .. - SPAIN. (From the Morning flerald.) ZUGAIMAMURDI, AUG. 1, MlDNlGHT.—GoneraV.Villareal, on the 30th, traversed the Borunda with twelve battaliOns of in fantry and six pieces of artillery. This morning, at break of day, he opened a vigorous attack on Larrasoana and Zuberi. At the time the courier left the field of battle the firing was terrible. The general is determined on destroying the Chris tiuo line from Valearlos to Pampeluna." _ _ At NHO, AUG. 3.—Wc have as yet received noofficial account of the attack of yesterday by Villareal on the line of Pampelu na. From private information, I have learned that General Bernelle, with seven battalions, in the course of the day having come to the relief of Zuberi, the engagement became serious and lasted until dusk. Villareal passed the night near the field of action, and in all probability will recommence the at tack this morning. I have no dorait that General Berueile, who rivals Espartero in his bombastic and exaggerated reports, will, as usual, claim a victory. A just opinion can only be formed when we have the - final result. Should Villareal he able to break the line, the Carlists may claim an importan t victory; should he be compelled to retreat without obtaining this object, Bernelle, with equal juAiee, nosy claim the victory. Let us, therefore, patiently wait a fess: days. On the Ist, the English endeavoured to iegain possession of the Amezagana, but were driven back by the Carlists. The royal head quarters of Don Carlos, on the 2d, were at Aspetia. 'Die last accounts received of the march of the Austrian ex pedition stated that General Gomez, on the '2Bth. was at Grado, four leagues west of Oviedo, and that on the 29th he entered the mountains of Leon, by Loretto. The following is a copy of a letter intercepted by the Car lists : "Valencia, July 21. " It is my misfortune again to announce that the Carlists yesterday gained a cons;derable . •.4dvantage over our troops at Albeida. They are now masters of the whole of the plains, and have succeeded in collecting au"Snimense sum of money. " This town has been the whole of to-day in a state of great excitement, and with difficulty the authorities had been able to preserve order. How the night will pass God only knows. " Poor Palarea has completely lost his popularity, and, I am afraid, must refire." • SEVEN o'clock.—LPrivale letters have been received from General Bernelle. which, in all probability, will be manufac tured into official bulletins fur to-morrow's Plta7 . e. He states " that Vtilareal attacked, at two o'clock a.m., on the morning of the lst s Zubiri and • the Iriege; that having ;earn ed the previous night the intentien . of Villareal, he marched from Puente la Reyna with 14 battalions,' and reached Zubiri at three o'clock p.m. The action then became general, and continued till late in the night. The Carlists were driven from all positions, and the last was taken at half-past nine. The loss of the Carlists he estimates at 200 killed. and a great many wounded; his own at 40 killed and 150 wounded." He also states " that he made 100 in isoners or deserters. He bivouacs on the field of battle, and -Villareal at Engni. It was his in tention to pursue the enemy the next morning." I have thought proper to send you this statement of-Bernelle. A very few (lays will show " whether Villareal is able to break the line of Vakarios, aye or nay." Cordova is no lotuser commander-in-chief. Sarsfield took the command on the 30th. Cordova intends going to Madrid. The result of the elections, according to letters front Madrid, dated the 29th, is as followS :- 109 deputies elected; of which 31 are ministerialists, 28 up positiouists, 3 doubtful, and 37 whose election must recom mence, they not having the required Majority. AIN H OA, AUG. 4, Six O'CLOCK, r.ss.—l have this instant re ceived the following important . communication from Aragon : • "Saragossa, Aug. 2, Midnight.—This morning the constitu tion was proclaimed in this city with due solemnity. " The exaltados paraded the streets during the whole day, singing patriotic songs, but principally the Tragala.' "The town is now illuminated, and bands of ruffians with music parade the streets. I have not time to send you more. You will receive this by express." It has been officially announced that the constitution hasbeen proclaimed at Malaga and Granada. In the former city the patriots formed themselves into a revolutionary tribunal, and tried and condemned the civil governor, Count Just, and eventually legally shot him. . General Reid reached St. Jean de Luz yesterday afternoon. and continued his route the same evening for England. Captain Black, one of the paymasters of the English legion, came yesterday to 'Bayonne, and having received £4,000, turned to St. Sebastian. Madrid was quiet on the 31st July, and the queen at the same date at La Granja, accompanied by the English and French ambassadors. 1 have reason for believing That some serious remonstrances have been made to Louis Philip by the ambassadors to the northern powers relative to the recruitment for Spain. Eight of of the unfortunate Spanish officers taken prisoners by Commodore Henry, and subsequently imprisoned in Corunna, and from thence transported to Porto Rico, succeeded in mak ing their escape, traversed England and France, and yesterday safely crossed the Spanish frontier. They are at the present moment at the royal head-quarters. Amongst the number is M. Orbistondo, brother-in-law to Cordova, and a M. Eguia. I am most credibly informed that three others of these unfortu nate gentlemen were arrested by the French authorities at Bordeaux, and sent from thence with their hands tied behind them, and chained to a band of thieves, to Mezieres, in the north. This conduct is a disgrace to any civilized nation !! ! IRELAND. ARRIVAL OF MR. O'CONNELL AT DUBLIN. The friends and political adherents of the hon. member for Kilkenny were a good deal astonished by his unexpected.arri val in Dublin this morning. Mrs. O'Connell has been in an exceedingly precarious state of health for some time, and hav ing suffered much pain since she retured to her house in Merrion-square, it is understood she became so much worse that the learned gentleman was summoned over on the occasion, to attend the bed of sickness. All political feelings in such cases being entirely out of the question, much anxiety and re gret have been expressed by the very numerous and respectable inhabitants of the vicinity, where Mrs. O'Connell's excellent domestic virtues have invariably commanded respect, and many hopes were breathed for her amended health. Knowing that the great political magnet was in town, it was, of course, imme diately whispered that he would appear in his place at the Corn exchange, to attend the adjourned meeting of the General Association, fixed for this evening. Accordingly, about four o'clock the doors were thrown open, the silver bar removed, and in rushed a congregation of the gaping non-intellectual coal porters, unemployed waiters in potato boats, supernumerary cads; such a crew of fetid, ill favoured persons, that no com mon patience was requisite to stand surrounded for half an hour by patriots of such haut lota. The screaming and huzzaing that ushered the leader in were peculiarly out of tune, the O'Conor Don, M.P., mounting the rostrum to preside. Mr. O'Connell, after a little while, commenced an address of such length, so discursively attenuated, indeed, that no more time remains at present further than to say, the tone as well as temper of his harangue breathed an alarmed feeling. He pro claimed that the apathy felt towards himself and the Irish agi tators in Enand were on the increase. With his wonted dexterity he kept up the feelings of his auditors to the old concert pitch, heaped all manner of opprobrium on every thing toryish, while the lamb-like loveliness of himself and Co. was most beautiful to behold. If, lie said, the tories get into power again, you will have Scotland taking up arms against. then—(cheers). You will have 7.000,000 of Irishmen discon tented. He hoped still " justice" would be granted without repeal, and that Irishmen would not be forced to take it them selves—(loud cheers). Then he would tell a story :—" If the tories caine in, some of the judges must resign then. The judges were—what he would not say.

Room appropriated to his STATE OP THE CROPS. THE. Cnoes.—We have little to add on this subject to the remarks which we made last week. The prevalent opinion with regard to the wheat continues to be that the yield will be good, except in some very unfavourable situations. The harvest has yet made but little progress ; next week, however, it will become general with all species of grain. The state of the weather is now become an important consideration ' • and as it is always the most prudent course to look on the dark instead of the light side of things in agricultural matters, we would im press the necessity of the general adoption of the • capping or covering sheaf, in order to provide against the contingency of wet weather. The covering sheaf inverted and placed over four other sheaves, its ears and half the straw.expauded, and en closing those four, gives protection, while its own position com paratively secures it from injure.— Gloucester Chronicle.

The city of Malaga has been the scene of another of those ap palling events at which human nature recoils—at least its better portion. In the night of the 25th ult. the garrison revolted, and the civil and military governors were both murdered ; nor does thete,appear to have been any valid pretext for this outrage >law, order,.and ha. manity, further than that which is to be discovered in an organised plot for the depositions of the authorities, the councilling the rule of the imbecile Regent Queen's go: vernment, and proclaiming the constitution of 1812! All this seems to have taken place simultaneously, or in such quick succession as to leave no doubt of the depth and extent of the conspiracy. The Queen's party at Madrid, it is said, attribute the whole affair to Carlist ityluence,—this is probable enough, allowing the reign of anarchy to be almost needful to provide the necessary establishment of sound, regal authority. A junta has been installed, composed of the following persons :—J. A. Escalanti, commander of the carahineers, president; Francisco I'. Sancho, commander of the artillery of the national guard; M. Moreno, captain of the 7th of the line; J. Serrano, com mander of the 2d battalion of the national guard ; Anto nio Cabrera, colonel on the retired list, &c. Proclamations have been issued to the people, and u violent denunciatory address to the Queen Regent, at tributing the terrible condition of things to the mistakes, errors, and, perhaps, evil intentions of the advisers of the crown and the agents of power. This is speaking out boldly, and offers but a melancholy speciMen of the favourable destiny for Spain, which Lord Palmerston said, " he believed hovered over it from above," on the occasion of his recent conflict, wherein be essayed the • facetious and would-be-pathetic knight against Mr. Maclean ! There appears to us to be no other resource open to stern the progress of bloodshed and misery in this most • unhappy country, the proceedings in which are a dis grace to a civilized age, a dishonour to the human spe cies, and a foul blot on the page of history, than the surly establishment of the monarchy of Charles the Fifth at Madrid. Compare the proceedings in nearly every other part of Spain with the happy condition of the peo• ple, allowing for the casualties of war in all those pro vinces under the authority of the King; and let men ho nestly decide thereon who has the fairest pretensions to wield the sceptre of government. Perhaps Mr. Villiers, Lord Palmerston's nuncio at the court of Madrid, may not feel inclined to wait fur the "dispensation" from above after this display of feeling at Malaga. He may, ere long, be glad to pray for a good pair of heels to enable him to reach the passage, or some other port on the Coast, with a whole skin on his way back to narrate to his patron the triumphs of Isabella Segundo ! • - • •NittiTA—MiyErt Roniscramp;—This eminent modern Israelite, and distinguished . European financier, in the. trite and expsessive language 'of 'Holy Writ, has been “gathered unto his fathers." His funeral took place on Monday last, (see further particulars in another part of our impression,) and was attended, independently of the private members of his very numerous family, by many gentlemen of •the Jewish .persuasion, and others, con nected with the monied and commercial interests of the c ity of London, long the scene of Iris powerful influence. b i the s hort, but very beautifully written biographical memoir of this truly extraordinary Man, in the Constitu• lion net French paper, Mr. Rothschild is described as having been neither king, prince, philosopher, poet, nor statesman; but as a man whose death cannot fail in pro clueing a very powerful sensation tlnoughbut Europe. true with regard to his pretensions to Traltiriks l a s m P on ti g fe s e tt Y hose, who are generally associated with ideas of human greatness, as a tribute tetheir memories, after death, and . honoured with laudatory ether honourably or successfully filled a c fo o r m m havingen dat i . on i place in the circle of great soldiers, statesmen, divines, or politicians., He has, however, claims to notice of an original and peculiar kind; and as such, is entitled to a niche amongst the grave and solemn order of those, who have been honoured with, a tablet in the sacred page of biography. Mr. Rothschild has surpassed all the great mentally endowed, and even powerful characters of his time, by obtaining the means in his own person, by his own in dividual industry, of commanding their interest for him self —of having them as it were rivetted within his. own grasp, under the exercise 'of a quiescent power, for his own peculiar benefit and personal enrichment, without resigning life or reputation in any decided form to obtain his end! He has been . almost a solitary powerful ma chine, in that vast and elaborate organization, compre hending human society, by means of which kings and governments have been enabled to wield the destinies of empire, and to control or compete with the varied con tingencies of weighty import, attendant on human policy, skill, bravery, power, and ambition, however inflamed by false judgment or regulated by opinion. Ile was, therefore, a great man, ab-origine ! _ _ Mr. Rothschild affords another example of the extraor dinary use of individual power, resulting from the cir cumstances and changes attendent on great convulsions in states and kingdoms. He formed one of the many extraordinary men produced by the wide array of events connected with the former French revolution, and who, in his own hands, wielding, Napoleon's term, "the gold of England," as an able,monied diplomatist, contributed mainly to bring about the latter events under which that. very revolution settled down in rest, or at least sunk once more into the arms of legitimacy! True it is, that lie was not either general or , statesman, in the usual form; but he was a grave calculating gamester of his , own order, who, watching well the cards and dice, as played by others, turned the game to his own advantage, with tremendous effect. His immense fortune then, has, at once, been derived alike from the pride, folly, and am bition of the European princhs and governments, and fi om the latitudinarian, restless, and speculative conduct of their subjects. "Great men," says Warburton, "are made for the times, and the times are made for great men." As the needful banker'sagent—nay, confidential friend of kings and of gos ernments—the Chancellor of European finance, Mr. Rothschild was a great man. Money is the sinew of warand the talismanof diplomacy, he wielded this two-edged sword almost single-handed, and he has proved the extent of his power and his great ness by dying worth a sum exceeding, bur millions ster ling! His. first essay was! in the character of a mer chant at Manchester. NEWSPAPER STAMPS' BILL.—The House of Lords, the upright and independent majority of 61 peers, on Monday night expunged from this bill of superficial inches, after a very animated 4nd truly interesting debate, the " Star Chamber" enactment contained in clause 11, with regard to the proprietorship of newspapers' registry. A more iniquitous, inquisitorial proceeding since th e days of the dark court of Record, or tyrannous renown above alluded to, could not_well be conceived, than that contemplated by this additional specimen of genuine whig liberality, the amiable offering of the thrice liberal member for Cambridge, and Chancellor of his Majesty's Exchequer, to extend the freedom of the press—to lessen the taxes on knowledge, and here artfully tacked to a money bill for the v ry honourable and truly inde pendent purpose of depriving the House of Lords of the privilege of revision, but which the searching sagacity of Lord Lyndhurst penetrated at once, and held up to the discredit (though, perhaps, not to the shame) of its propounders and defenders, with his usual acumen and powerful reasoning. In fact, to use a homely phrase, his Lordship made " mince meat" of the ministers on this occasion, assailing theM on every tack, and shaking their flimsy arguments with unconquerable severity. We hardly know which to admire the most, the matter or the manner of the premises urged against the clause, dealing with equal and terrible effect on its grossly tyranous application; to say nothing of the glaring injustice of the principle it involved, as .a Matter of legislation. Englishmen have long beeri taught to re gard the•just and legitimate freedom of the press as the paladitim of their liberties. This bill, if not corrected as it has been by the generosity, the honeur, and the patriotism of the House of Lords, would have reversed the rule and rendered the measure, in the hands of the government of the (lay, the restraining inquisitor of _their civil privileges—their ordinary commercial advan tages, and rights of property as free subjects. We proudly refer to the speech and the replies of Lord Mel bourne, the Lord Chancellor, and the Marquis of Lans down. Let our intelligent= ,readers exercise their own analysis. The Duke of Wellington and Lord Wynford sup ported the amendment, the latter in a speech displaying sound legal tact, and the combination of really liberal views on the part of the press. We must return to this subject more freely and fully, and content ourselves now by declaring our independent voice of approbation for the conduct of the truly conservative estate, which has by this proceeding put itself in a position with the country that it will not easily lose. It has declared for the people, destroying a coup d'etat contemplated by the wily policy of the ministers, for the purpose of placing the upright independent press and those who support it, under the fangs of a power at once odious, tyrannous, and unconstitutional. LONDON LATEST NEWS:- City, Wednesday, Half-past One o'clock. j Money is abundant this morning, and may be obtained at 21 per cent. A defaulter has been declared on the Stock Exchange, but we have not heard any estimate of the amount. Gibraltar papers have been received to the 26th ult. The mail from Cadiz continues to be stopped and robbed. We have immediate dates from the Cape of Good Hope, which furnish nothing worth extracting. The Consol Market is very passive at 911 for the Account; and Exchequer Bills are 9to 11 quo ; India Bonds are lower, 2 discount being, the present tation. The intelligence from Spain has caused a c onsiderable decline in Spanish Bonds, the active stock having fallen to 341, and the passive to 104 Portuguese Securities are likewise on the decline, 771 being the quotation of the Five per Cents. ; and 48 that of the Three per Cents. The Northern Bonds are steady. Dutch Fire per Cents. are 1041. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 55i to 56i : and Russian, 1112. Brazilian Bonds are 881, and Chilian 451, but no other stock affords any real quotation. We understand that pigeons have arrived, which brill.. the price of Spanish sto ck from Paris as low as 331, arid had been done at 321, owing to the revolutions in the various provinces of Spain. In Shares the Greenwich are 241; Grand Junction are 11 ; and North Midland 91; South Eastern are dull at 41; and South Western are per share.

" Sir,—l beg to inform you, for the information of the sub scribers to Lloyd's, that all the mails from Madras, Cape of Good Hope, and Ascension, on board the Premier, lately de stroyed by fire at the latter place, were burnt; every effort was made to save them, but in vain. This intelligence has been communicated to ►ne by Captain Byron, lately belonging to that ill-fated'vessel, who arrived here this day, per the British Sovereign, Captain Browne, from Sydney, New South Wales. (Signed) "3.U. To z . " W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's." The following was on Tuesday, received at Lloyd's : "British Consulate. Office, * Coyunibo, March 25, 1836. " Sir,—l wish to acquaint you for the information of the (om mittee for managing, the affairs of Lloyd's, that underwriters should be careful in insuring copper ores on board vessels load ing the same on this coast, as them - are some which are ex tremely dangerous, to both the safety of whatever oilier cargo the ship may have on board, and likewise to the ship, as the inclosed document will prove. (Signed) . "CHAS. CII.AMBEIII,AIN,'Esq. Consul. " W. Dobson,'Esq. - " The documents enclos e d are a re port of the gentlemen de puted by-the Consul to examine the RiChard Bell, Captain Rogers, and hold a survey on the cargo, composed of copper ore, reported by Captain Rogers to be in such a heated state as to endanger the safety of the vessel if retained on hoard for any longer period. These gentlemen report that having been on board they examined carefully the state of the car g o, and fund the calcined copper ore (of which about two-thirds of the cargo consisted) - in such a state of heat as to be unbearable to the touch, and that ou trying with a thermometer they found the mercury rose to 132 degrees of Fahrenheit; and they further declared that the cargo was dangerous in the extreme to the safety of the vessel; that it would be u nsafe for her to sail with calcined ore on board. The cause was :aid to be the great pro portion of sulphur contained in the copper ore, and from its having been shipped in a damp or humid state. The other do cument is a letter to the charterers confirmatory of the other communication, stating that a small hole was dog one foot be low the surface of the ore, and the thermometer was introduced .and after remaining there five minutes the mercury rose to 162 degrees, and that he felt justified in taking no more than 75 tons, which could be placed on the decks with safety." •==—. HONOURABLE INTEGRITY.—We have this week to record another instance of industrial integrity , which refle cts infinite honour on the town of Blackburn, and' the individual whl, is the principal in the affair—Mr. Robert Hopwood, of Nova-cottage. Phisgentleman, who, on account of the p ressure of the times, was in 1819 compelled to suspend his payments and compound with his creditors, we are happy to hear has lately been emi nently successful in his business as a cotton-spinner and mane- facturer; that besides having tealized a competency for himself and family, he has it in his power to li q uidate the long dormant claims of-those persons who so kindly c onsidered his difficultie h s in the hour of pressing nc , ed; and that, wit h a generous nourable feeling, which all rightly constituted minds must fully appreciate, he has co mmenceil the laudable undertaking 'of pay= mg the balance rf twenty shillings in the pound to all his an cient creditors. We hope that the tradesmen of Blackburn will substantially testify their admiration of such honourable • and upright c miioct, two instances of which have been exhi bited here within the last three mouths.,--Biadtharn Standard. BRADFonn.—It is rumonied in Bradford that a near relation 'of John Hardy, Esq., M.P.; is likely to be called forward as a candidate Co represent that botiiigh in event of a dissolution. — Leeds Paper: AUGUST 12. 1836, LOCAL NEWS. CRICKET.—A, match will be played on-Monday next, on the Chester ground, between six members of the Birkenhead club and five of the Manley, against elesieu members of the Chester Garrison club, to commence at ,eleven O'clock. THE MURDER IN RoDNEY-STRIIET.—We understand, that i❑ the case of William Duffin, now a prisoner in Kirkdale Coal, fur the murder of Grace Avery, in this town, no evidence is forthcoming, the principal witness, his daughter, having ab sconded. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Wednesday morning last, as some labourers were occupied in excavating a portion of land situated between the patent slip and Mr. Brassey's yard, at North Birkenhead, they discovered, at about a foot below the surface, a human skeleton, lying %Ali the face downwards, em bedded in straw.. The bones are iu a state of perfect preserva tion, but every particle of flesh has disappeared : The only vestage of apparel remaining are part of the shoes, to which are appended the rims of a pair of buckles, which appear to have been of plated copper. The most remarkable circirtn-,. stances are, that while the clothing his mouldered to dust, the straw has undergone but little change, and that vivid' marks of blood are visible on the parts where rested the neck and arms. The deceased appears to have been of short stature. It is the opinion of a medical gentleman who'has examined the skeleton, that it has been buried between thirty and forty years. An inquest is to be held over the remains, and a rigid investigation has been entered into, with a view, if possible, of throwing some light on the mysterious circumstance. - CH WWII OF ENGL. A ND SC HOO LS.—WO sincerely congratulate the friends of scriptural education upon the splendid result which has followed the appeal of our clergy to the religious public in this town. Tile success which bile attended that appeal is con soling in many respects," particularly in the evidence which it so triumphantly affords of the deep rooted and fervent attachment of the people of Liverpool to our Protestant establishemcnt.. The donations amount to £10,321 11s. Id, and. the_ annual sub• scriptions to £326. The number of children receiving instruc tion in the schools already in operation exceeds 1,100. In the South school there are '276 boys, 197 girls, and 80 infants; in all 553. In the North school there are 400 boys, and 230 girls ;iu all 630—making a total for hat schools of 1,183. CLERICAL INCONSISTENCY.—IL is a melancholy truth that the greatest enemies of the Church of England are 'her own. chil dren, those whose peculiar function it ought to be to uphold her interests as identified with genuine Christianity, are frequently found among the Most ready to contribute to the triumph of her enemies. 'nese reflections are forcibly pressed upon us by the conduct of a certain lioeral clergyman in this town,-whose ac tivity in attending at the corporation bible-excluding schools is trumpetted forth by our radical contemporaries, but who, though he has had a school connected with his own clniirch for a long time, has hitherto, greatly, it not entirely, neglected the lamb sof his own flock. We leave him to reconcile such conduct with the solemn obligations of his ordination vow. • CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—A young man is now in the town attempting to obtain contributions from the benevolent by representing himself to be deaf and dumb. He carries'about with him a petition, to which is attached the names of many respectable merchants in Liverpool. The signatures are all fOrgeries, and the case as stated in the petition is a gross and impudent fabrication. THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS —Yesterday morning, about 150 of the boys of the Workhduse, and 50 girls, were, through the liberality of Mr. Atkins, permitted to visit these gardens. It is almost needless to add, that this treat to the children afforded • theta the highest delight. The orderliness and cleanliness of the dress of the children, reflected the highest credit on Mr. Dowdal, the governor of the Workhouse. In consequence of the refusal of _George Brooks, master and owner of the fishing smack " Stanley" to bring up the fish of the smack ",Echo," one of the Liverpool Fish Company's boats, the Directors have sent circulars to the masters of each of their numerous boats, instructing them not on any account to bring up any fish from the said smack " Stanley." Ihe reason as signed for refusing is, that the Company have found it neces sary to encourage fishermen from other ports; and, strange to• say, both Brooks and the man objected to are Torbay men. MADEMOISELLE SARDI'S CONCERT.—This lady, with her Italian companions, Madame Julien and Signor Ruggiero, held a concert at Templars' Hall, on Wednesday evening. The concert was but very thinly attended, and gave poor encou ragement to Mademoiselle Sardi and her coadjutors, who each, along with herself, possess fine voices, and a considerable por tion of musical talent: The concert commenced by an over ture from the "Siege of Rochelle," on the piano -forte, by Miss M. Hatton, a pupil of Mr. Mollineux's. The overture was played with' much precision, and considerable execution. Sig. Ruggiero next sung an aria buffa, "Schiava di Bacdad," from Paccini, with much taste. This gentleman's voice partakes of the peculiar quality of tone of most of the Italians, having great power and scope, but is rather harsh. Madame Julien next sung an aria from Mercadante with very brilliant execution. She was followed by Mademoiselle Sardi, w hose voice, in ,addition to great power and scope possesses much sweetness. Several duets and trios followed, and also sonic fantasies on the piano forte, by Master E. F. Smith, pupil of Mr. Mollineux, and by Miss Al. Hatton. Signor de Val acted as conductor. The performances went off well, each of the artistes being loudly applauded. THE 'ZOOLOGICAL. GARDENS.—On Tuesday evening the ex hibition of Monday night, noticed in our last, was repeated. The assemblage of spectators was again very great, but not so much so as on the previous evening. We should think that not, less than 4000 persons were assembled. The same routine of amusements were gone through. Mr. Yates was equally face tious in his reminicences, and Mr. Williams in his comic snags. Miss Betts sung " Bid me discourse" in most brilliant style, and was very loudly entered. "The duet betwixt Miss Betts and Mr. Williams, " When a little farm we keep," was exceedingly well sung, each point being made to tell; it.was loudly encored. Miss Hamilton suite,- several songs very sweetly, but her voice had scarcely sufficent power to be effective in the open air. The general illumination of the gardens was splendid; ever build ing and various objects erected for the purpose, as the figures of elephants, tigers, pheasants, being dotted completely over with various coloured lamps. The whole, as on the pre vious evening, concluded with. a magnificent display of fire works. The rockets, wheels, and various coloured fires, -.sere splendid, and reflected much credit on the pyrotechnic abili ties of Mons. D'Ernst, the maker. The weather was as fine as could be wished, and every visitor appeared highly gra tified. We are glad that the• spit ited proprietor's endeavours to cater for the public have been so liberally encouraged. PRIESTLY OPPRESSION.—We have been faVoured with the following Particulars on the authority of a clergyman of high character in this town. A poor Irishman was sonic tithe ago ad mitted into our Infirmary, where be received, from' one of the visitors, a bible. After his recovery he went over to Ireland, and was commanded by his priest to surrender the holy volume; upon his refusal, he and all his family were denounced from the altar, We have ample proof of the fact in our poSsession. The name of the priest was Father Kepple, Castleton Roache Cha pel, Cork. We leave it to the ingenuity of our contemporary the Journal, to attempt a palliation of the above in stance of priestly intimidation. BRITISH ASSOCIATION—MEETING AT BRISTOL.— Prepara tions on an extensive scale are making at Bristol for the en suing meetings, which will continence on Monday, the 22d of August, the Marquis of Lansdowne, president, in the chair, and it is anticigged that they will be well attended, the presence of many distidknished and scientific men from the Continent being expected. Subscriptions have been made to a considerable amount to defray the expenses of accommodation to the visitors. LEEDS ELECTORS.—The overseers of Leeds have just pub , lished the lists of parliamentary electors for the borough of Leeds, resident within the township. The .total number is 5054, being an increase of nearly 50 per cent. upon the number at present on the register. Last year the Leeds overseers re turned 4638 voters, but 1124 were struck off upon the revision this year the number returned is 416 more than last. Since Saturday last, accounts have reached us of serious in jury having been done to the crops along the banks of the Clyde. The hay has been completely spoiled. From Boat Haugh, a little above Lanark a great deal of it has been swept away in ricks, and from other farms all the way down to Hamilton and Bothwell, it has been carried off both in coils and ricks. The corn and wheat are in such a peculiarly delicate state that so much wetness has damaged them considerably. The potat oes, that have already suffered by failure of the plants, have in 'navy instances.been laid bare by the floods. The appearance which , the banks of the river presented, after the flood abated, indi cated that the extent of damage done had been as great as was dreaded. The dykes and the palling on both sides of the river, from the Bromilaw downwards, were overtopped with ricks of hay which the water had carried down and left there, and the banks were strewed with vegetables, roots, and branches of fruit trees, swept off the field by the floods. Douglas water was swollen to a great extent; it rose so rapidly, that two men w ho were engaged carting hay off a field, had to loose their horses from the carts and flee for their lives. The quantity of earth carried off the field must have been immense : the Clyde was coloured with it like' clay, as far down as the estuary.-6 . iasg ew Chronicle.
