Of course, we do not know precisely what the French miller realizes by the sale of his seconds, thirds, sharps, bran, &c. These leave him behind, however, ex cellent food both for household food and for cattle, which it is not likely that he throws to waste. .In the meantime it is clear that there is a serious displacement of British labour, caused by every quarter of grain which we receive in this country in a manufactured state. We have particularly tested the correctness of the items to which asterisks are affixed. They are rather understated than other- If there is any error it is in the freights, 4s. uarter being, as it appears to us, a rather high ge for wheat from French ports. The freight is low for a sack of French flour of , however, 2601h5. weight, as compared with a quarter of wheat, say of 4801bs. weight. There is another advantage accruing to the importer of flour, which is not calculated. The flour goes at once into con sumption. It is in the baker's shop two or three days after it is landed. If imported as wheat it may be a month before it is prepared for con sumption.

Mr. Lace spoke of the excellent qualities possessed by Mr. Rushton, not only as a magistrate, but in the more e walk of life He was a man of con. siderable taste and refinement, gifted and endowed with all those talents which should grace a gentleman.

SPOOL DISTRICT COURT OF BANK RUPTCY, YESTERDAY. Before Mr. Commissioner PERRY IN RE MANUEL Jorms.—Yesterday was appointed as the meeting for the choice of assignees, and the last examination of the bankrupt, formerly a cheese factor at Wrexham.—Mr. SIMON, barrister, said he now appeared in support of the proof of a debt, on behalf of Daniel Jones, the brother to the bankrupt ; and the proof he tendered was an award made on the 26th of February, 1851, on an agreement entered into between the parties on the 10th of December, 1850. The petition for the bankruptcy was signed 6th of March, 1851. The amount of the award was £245 2s. ld., in,luding interest and half the costs of arbitration.—Mr. EvANs, solicitor, objected to this proof, on behalf of the petitioning creditor. He contended, for reasons which he assigned, that the award was not legally binding.—Mr. SIMON then argued in favour of his client's claim, and Mr. Evans having replied, and all attempts to come to any arrangement failed, his HONOUR ruled that the claim should be entered in this case, and permission granted to the parties objecting to the award to contest the question in the proper court. — With this view it was ultimately determined to adjourn the last examination of the bankrupt until the 14th of May, by which time it was thought the usual proceedings could be taken for determining the validity or otherwise of the award.

Ly to othe A week ago it was announced that the condemned prisoner, Patrick Lyons, now awaiting his execution at Kirkdale Gaol, for the murder of Margaret Fahy, atWar rington, had made a confession to the Roman Catholic Priest, which went to exonerate his wife, Bridget Lyons, from any participation in the offence, of which both were found guilty by the jury. In consequence of this revela tion, a petition was sent up to the Home-office for the mercy of the Crown to be extended to the female prisoner. Subsequently, however, to this, Lyons retracted the con fession in question, and, in fact, asserted that Mr. Mar shall had misrepresented his meaning altogether. But a very short time after making this assertion he again returned to his original statement, and expressed his remorse to the governor of the gaol for having deviated from it. He is still attended by the Rev. Mr. Marshall, and persists in the truth of the confession, which, of course, was not made under any sacramental tie, but which is believed to convey the actual facts of the crime. The prisoner's statement, it will be remembered, fully bears out the remark of the woman, made before receiving her sentence, that her husband could acquit her of the murder if he chose ; and the circumstance of the obvious ill-feeling existing between them at the time bears out the correctness of his version of the unhappy story. Lyons is himself, as we learn from the governor of the gaol, well in health, and little affected by the contempla tion of his awful position. The woman is not well; and is most dejected and uneasy. The uncertainty as to the arrival of a reprieve undoubtedly unsettles her; and this has not yet arrived, and may possibly not do so, if at all, for three or four days to come. At present the execution of both is fixed for Saturday, the 26th instant. The male prisoner is represented as a very ignorant man, but with no indication in his features of a predisposition to commit a crime of the sanguinary character proved against him. His forehead is not so low as described by those who saw him on his trial ; nor does he appear to have the mere animal propensities so strongly prodominating. We can not discover, however, that he is thoroughly alive to a sense of his wretched state. MYSTERIOUS CASE —A case came on before the coroner Saturday for inquiry, in which a woman, whose name is unknown, was the principal object. It appeared a liceman was called by a woman into No. 4 Court, lifford•: q tare, abouttwo o'clock on Wednesday morning. 'hen ti e officer arrived at the spot he found the woman in;ant by the side of another female, who was a pareutly ta'e of intoxication. He dismissed the former, who retired into her own house (in the court), and took the other woman to Rose-bill bridewell, where she was re ceived by tierjeant Wright, who, like the policeman. imagined she was intoxita"ed, as her breath smelt of spirits. She was, however, sent to the Northern Hospital, where she expired on the following day, after which a fracture was found in the lower portion of her skull. A witness stated that her house was in the court in question. lhe jury returned an open verdict of found dead. RAI IN G CONFLAGRATION ATTHE NORTH DOCKS.— Yesterday afternoon about two o'clock, a fire broke out in n extensive cotton shed, situated in Beacon-street, near he Nelson Dock, known as Hughes' sheds.

Several gentlemen at the bar reminded the learned Recorder 'that the Judges of Assize generally sat for the latter part of the day on the " 1 4 Good Friday, tiller having attended divine service in the forenoon ; and, it was also added that, as term would commence next Tuesday, the members of the bar would be, probably, by this arrangement, detained from town, at much inconvenience. The Recorder answered, that his opinion on the subject was such that he should give pect all parties connected with the sessions the opportunity of ily removed. attending divine service on Good Friday, so that the business of the 9038i0119 would be suspended. :ed Stat THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. TIIE LATE MR. RUSHTON, Public sympathy has just been called forth by the great oss which the town ha, sustained by the Mr. Rushton. Mr. Adam Hodgson, at meeting of the magistrates, addressing the mayor, well said, " There is one point to which I think Mr. Gladstone has not referred, in which the services of Mr. Rushton have been of eminent value. I mean in co-operating with the municipal authorities, in every emergency, and especially when the peace of the town has been endangered threatened. On these occasions I Ipive had many opportunities of witnessing the benefits eon ferred by his judgment, courage, and promptitude, when c;)-nperatinz, sir, with some of your predecessors in the chair. I might refer especially to the anxious period dur ing the mayoralty of Mr. Horsfall, wh e n he and Mr. and irreparable iverti►►g dangers of no common magnitude, which never !ame before the public eve." That was a period of no urinary danger and alarm—not to the town of Liverpool lone but to the country at large. It was a period when Il the vigour, and all the energy, and all the judgment of both the mayor and Mr. Rushton were not only called Forth, but most wisely and energetically exercised for the public good. Of this no one could fail to be sensible. I'he government knew it—the country felt it—and yet we ask what notice did the government ever take of services . - to the value of which no one was more fully alive than themselves. It is true that they offered Mr. Horsfall a paltry knighthood, which if we mistake not, was very pro. )erly and very promptly declined, and well might it be so. 'or at the very same time that Sir George Grey offered to he chief magistrate of Liverpool an ordinary civic knight. mod, he conferred a higher rank upon the London chief ommissioner of police, and this for services of mere obe ience, devoid of responsibility, and requiring compara ran; thaw 1 Unsv Ask snevw ;ilderrnrairat 111:yond the very proper and public complimentary notice taken of Mr. Rushton by Mr. Horsfall, the then mayor, and a vote of thanks by the magistrates, we believe no acknowledgment was ever in any way made to him. Is it too late to make a representation to her Majesty's i government on the subject ? I THE POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY, The monthly meeting. of this society was held last night, in the Hall of the Royal Institution; Mr. Pilcher in the chair. The only paper read was one by Mr. Rayner, (of the firm of Raynerancl Hutton, of this town,) who exhibited and described a number of beautiful speci mens of patent enamelled slate, encaustic tiles, Cannabis ornaments, &c. After a few introductory remarks, Mr. Rayner proceeded as follows : Slate has of late years become an article much more sought after than formerly; immense quantities of it not only being used for roofing purposes, but it has been found to DOSSCSS so many intrinsicilly valuable qualities over stone, granite, and even marble, that the demand for it has increased to a very great extent. As a proof of its strength as compared with _stone, it. is a well known fact . . that an inch slab of slate is equal to York paving two or three inches thick, granite three to four inches, and marble even eight to ten inches,—therefore, where light ness and strength are required, slate stands pre-eminent. Secondly—lt is an almost perfectly non-absorbent body, for if an inch slab be immersed in water for three months, it will be !ound, on merely scratching the outer surface, to be perfectly dry underneath. Thirdly—Proving its appl cability for out-door work over stone, inasmuch as it is not liable like stone to be injured by frost, which freezing the water the stone has absorbed, cracks it, rendering it useless and dama?ing *he work. Its non absorbent nature renders it also available for many other purposes, inasmuch as even assafeetida may be spread on a slab and left for hours, when after washing it, it will be found as sweet and free from - odour as the day it left the quarry, thereby making it extremely useful for chemical purposes, mangers. &c. ; but in this age of com petition it has been made to undergo a process called en amelling, which so totally changes its appearance and value that its most ?ntimate friends would never recognise the beriteiful manufacture of the patentee, Mr. Magnus. in the once plain and homely slate. During the process of enamelling it goes through five distinct operations; first, there is the ground coating, which is burnt into the slate, and afterwards rubbed down to a file surface to prepare it for the pencil of the artist, who gives it either the appearance of the richest Sienna, Brocatella, Granite, Porphry, and even inlaid work, some spe cimens of which are now before you ; after which it receives the first coating of enamel, again subjected to the heat of the furnace, and again rubbed down; it receives in all three coats of enamel over the paint ing, all of which having been thoroutTbly burnt into the slate, at a heat ranging from 351 to 6t) degrees, not only protects the work. hut secures for it a surface which will carry a higher polish than any other article of a like nature; and, what is of much greater importance, this polish will last for years. neither the action of the atmos phere, nor even oils or acids having the least effect on it. It ha.► now been tested for several years, and found to answer the expectations formed of it, being now very generaly used for out-door work. such as tombstones, mo numents, vases. &c., and after 5. 6. and in some instances, 8 and 9 years' wear, the polish has been found as good as the day it left the works. Mr. J. then drew the attention of the me bers to the specimen before them, especially to ' the one of Florentine Mosaic, which though many object to the variety of colours, as not suitable for general use; yet, as a work of art, and as regards the general faithful ness of the imitation, has been very greatly admired. It is a style which is quite new here ; for in the real Floren tine Mosaic such a piece would be so valuable as to pre clude the possibility of its being• brought into general use, but since the introduction of this style by Mr. Magnus. in enamelled slate, he has had a very great de mand for them in London ;. indeed it was for this especial branch of his manufacture that he obtained the gold medal of the Society of Arts. He has had the honour of making a table in this style for Prince Albert, which is favoured with a place in the drawing-room at Osborne House. The Duke of Wellington has also a beautiful billiard table, in use, at Strathfieldsaye House, and most of the nobility and gentry have patronised it more or less; it is used by all the most eminent architects, in club houses, in the superior government offices, and at the principal railway stations. Mr. Rayner then brought forward specimens of the patent metallic lava, one of the numerous improvements over the old asphalte pavement, which have been lately brought forward. This substance has been used for four years in Basinghall-street, London, .on a common and much frequented cart road, and vet not the least trace of damage can be seen. Mr. Rayner next described the cann •big or hempen composition-, which can be manufac tured into mouldings, scrolls, wreaths, figures, &c. Alluding to the enamelled slate, Mr. Horner rose and expatiated on the beauty attained by the process illus trated in Mr. Rayner's paper. He, however. (as it was an open meeting) objected to the process of enamelling being applied to the imitation of Mosaic or other antique works, when the scope of the artist could be developed as it was in the slate panels (groups of flowers) produced. With regard to the Cannabis ornaments, though they are lighter and less liable to crack than papier mache, and most elegantly sharp, they did not, he thought, give the effect of that which he would like to encourage—original carving. There was beauty of design, but too much sameness. Mr. 11ORNRR took the opportunity of suggesting the establishment in Liverpool of a school of design, picturing, in a very long address, the benefits which it would:confer on mechanical artisans, carvers, founders, and others. J. B. YATEs, Esq., mentioned the Mechanics' Insti tution as offering every facility, and passed a high eulogy on tile drawing master as having produced some very pretty pictures. Mr. Councillor BENNETT and Mr. BOULA made some relevant remarks, all tending to add importance to the paper read. After several other members had expressed their senti ments, a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Rayner, and the meeting separated. MANCHESTER SETAKSPEF lAN SOCIETY.—The per formance of the gentlemen composing this society, in aid of one of our best local charities, the eye and ear infir mary, will take place on Friday week. We hear that numerous parties have already secured places ; and we may mention that his Worship the Mayor, Lord Skel mersdale, Lord Sefton, and many of our leading gentle men have each taken a box. MISERY OF EMIGRANTS IN NEW YORK.—On Mon day, 43 emigrants that had arrived that day in the ship Epamimondas, from Liverpool, were found wandering in the streets without food, or the means of getting it. They were !taken to the Fourth ward station house, and there lodged for the night, and food supplied to them. The children seized the offered bread in the wildest manner. and devoured it more like hungry wolves than human beings. There were upwards of eighty, in all, removed into the Fourth ward station house. The Commissioners of Emigration have undertaken to protect these poor people, receiving the commutation money, as they do, and bonds that the emigrants shall not be a burthen on the city, yet they permit them to roam about in a starving condition. This is too bad.—New York Herald, April 2. A LIVING UPAS TREE.—Lieutenant Marchland, of the United States navy. has brought home with him from Java a living Upas tree, so famous for its real and fanci ful poisonous properties. By his assiduous care it was preserved alive during the long voyage, and a few days before its arrival at Norfolk, Virginia, leaves sprouted forth. It has been presented to the National Ins' itute at Washington, and can be seen at the new observatory. It was once rumoured and believed that the poisonous effluvium of the tree was so fatal that birds flying over it dropped dead, and that all vegetation died under and far around it. It is now ascertained that the juice only is poisonous. Into this juice the savages dip their arrows which then have a double fatality.—New York Observer. ORIGIN OF THE BLUE-COAT HOSPITAL.—In the reign of George the First, one of the most permanent, pros perous, and useful of the charities of Liverpool was esta blished, and that chiefly by the noble generosity and untiring zeal of one man. Bryan Blundell. the founder of that noble and flourishing charity, the Blue-coat Hospital, was one of the most remarkable men whom Liverpool produced in the early part of the eighteenth century. It appears, from a brief and modest sketch of Mr. Blundell's life, written by himself, that in his earlier years ho was a shipowner, and commander of his own ship, in the foreign trade. He and the Rev. Robert Stithe, one of the rectors of Liverpool, were very inti mate, and, being alike benevolent and generous, they agreed to use their best endeavours to found a charity school in Liverpool. They began by soliciting subscrip tions from the mayor and most respectable inhabitants, and gradually got together a yearly subscription of from sixty to seventy pounds. With this they built a little school-house, which cost thirty-five pounds, and appointed a master at twenty pounds a-year, who was paid out of the money collected at the sacraments. They then took fifty poor children into the school, clothed and gave them learning. Mr. Robert Stithe was made treasurer, " and I," says Mr. Blundell, " went to sea on my employment, telling Mr. Stithe that I hoped to be giving him something every voyage for the school." In 1713 Mr. Stithe died; but from 1709 to the time of his death, M r . Bl un d e ll h a d given him two hundred and fifty pounds to the sunnnrt of the school, earned on his several voyages, two hundred of which he had nut out to interest. When Mr. Blundell came home, in 1713, he found that his friend and fellow labourer, Mr. Stithe, was dead, and that the new rector, Mr. Richmond, was much indisposed at times, and not able to undertake such a charge. He, therefore, deter mined to leave off the sea, and undertake the care of the school, of which he was chosen treasurer in 1714. At that time there was £2OO at interest, which was all the stock the school had. "In a little time," says Mr. Blundell, " I aaw some of the children begging about the streets, their parents being so poor as not to have bread for them, which gave me great-concern, insomuch that I thought to use my best endeavours to make pro.- vision for them, so as to take them wholly from their parents, which I hoped might be promoted by a subscrip tion." This subscription produced between £2OOO and £3OOO, of which sum, however, Mr. Blundell himself gave £750, being the tenth part of his whole property. He also determined to apply the tenth part of all his future earnings to the same project, and, in fulfilment of this generous determination, gradually made up his £750 into £2OOO. Out of these various sums the Blue-coat Hospital of that day wes built at a cost of £2OOO to £3OOO, and was finished in 1718.

Woman was formed to be sued and won ; it is the law of their organisation. Mcn value a woman's affection in proportion to the efforts it has cost to gain it.

The same listlessness which ive have had the unplea santness to report for some months continues to pervade our produce maricets, and, we are sorry to add, without any hope of improvement. All confidence on the part of buyers seems to have vanished, the result being merely retail sales in every article to supply immediate wants only. The money-market keeps tolerably easy ; but, in the absence of all spirit. prices of produce are gradually declining. There can be no doubt that the want of con fidenCe in what is miscalled free trade, and the ridiculous position of the government, or rather our living without a government, are quite sufficient to account for this unpre cedented s ate of things. In the early part of the week the panic in the share market continued ; but the last few days there has been less disposition to force sales, and the market has improved some little in consequence. There is yet a large bull account to settle, and, after the severe lessons speculators have had, we may expect to see a more regular market, with less excitement. It is very doubtful whether we have not already anticipated the full benefit of the coming exhibition, several of the lines having risen no less than .£lOO per cent, within the last nine months ; take Dover, .Leede—indeed most of the principal lines— not to mention the non-paying dividend lines, such as Caledonia, &c. To-day, however, we have indications of another spell of activity. A brisk demand has sprung up for shares of all the old lines. and prices have steadily advanced all day, closing at the best.
