GENERAL MISCI?LLANY• On Friday last her Majesty completed her twenty-fifth year. On Wednesday next the Cheshire Yeomanry will assem ble at Chester for their annual probation of duty. The guano trade is still thriving, and no less than 300 British vessels are now engaged in a business that was not thought of two years ago. That ornament of the peerage, William Lionel Felix (!) Tollemache, Lord Huntingtower, figures in the list of insolvents in Tuesday's Gazette. Mr. Crockford, of gaming-table notoriety. expired between nine and ten o'clock on Friday night. His death will add to the difficulties of the settling on the Derby. LAUNCESTON ELECTlON. — Yesterday week, Admiral Bowles was returned member for this borough, in the room of Sir Henry Hardinge. _ Several agricultural villages have petitioned the House of Commons to re-inflict the punishment of death on persons guilty of the crime of arson. STRANGE FOSTER MOTHER.—There is now to be seen at Mrs. Norton's, the Mexborough Arms Inn, Hunslet, near Leeds, a cat that is suckling six young rabbits. A DESTRUCTIVE PAUPER.—On Friday week, a pauper in the Devizes Union workhouse, who was dissatisfied with his supper, demolished four hundred and thirteen panes of glass. CONVERTED MEMBER.—On Monday, in the Commons, Mr. Scott Murray, having embraced the Roman Catholic religion, took the oath prescribed for members of that persuasion. ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.—On Friday next, the 31st instant, there will be a total eclipse of the moon. The eclipse will commence at fourteen minutes after eight in the evening, and terminate at twenty-six minutes after one o'clock the following morning. PATENT MEDICINES.—We learn from a parliamentary return just printed, that the amount of duty on patent medicines, in the 10 years, ending sth January, 1844, was on an average, nearly £30,000 a year. This shows an im mense consumption. - - A short time since, a poor woman of Colchester, having scratched her hand, and afterwards brought it in contact with a corpse which she had been engaged to lay out, the member became inflamed, and the disease increased to such a degree as to cause death a few days afterwards. THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—It appears by a re turn made to the House of Commons, that in 1838 the Lords of the Treasury limited Mr. Barry's remuneration, as architect of the Houses of Parliament, to £25,000 to be paid at intervals in proportion to the advance of the works. In the gambling-houses broken into by the police last week false dice were found among the gambling imple ments seized. The brass divisions of the roulette tables are in most of these dens so formed as to present an ob struction to the entrance of the ball at the will of the manager of the table. Negociations respecting the reduction of the tariffs of the two countries have been opened by the English and French governments, and will be prosecuted with greater activity during the interval of the session. Persons engaged in the Wine and Brandy trade must not, accor dingly, lose all hope. A synagogue, in a style of splendour surpassing any thing hitherto attempted in England, is about to be erected in the west of the metropolis. Sir Moses Montefiore has contributed £5,000 towards the building, on the under standing that the worship is to be according to the usages of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews. DEATH OF THE H ON• MR. WORTLEY.—We regret to state that the don. Charles Wortley, youngest son of Lord Wharncliffe, President of the Council, expired on Wednesday morning last at the house of his brother in Grosvenor-street. The deceased gentleman was thirty four years of age, and married to a daughter of the Duke of Rutland, by whom he has several children. DEATH PREFERRED TO SLAVERY.—ShortIy before the royal mail steamer Trent left Cuba, a fine-looting black slave went on board, but on being infor med that he must return on shore, he drew out a knife and nearly severed his head from his body. On his person were found 200 dollars, which he had saved, three boxes of cigars, and a copy of Gil Blas. He belonged to an unkind master, from whom he had hoped to escape. • • - ---- LORD CHIEF JUSTICE TINDAL.—We are enabled to give the most positive con , radiction to the report current in the legal cirzles—viz., that the learned and excellent Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas con templates, or has expressed a wish to resign his high office at the expiration of the present term. His lord ship at present does r►ot entertain any intention of retir ing from public life.— Standard. GUANO.—The market is better supplied, and holders are more inclined to sell; the tendency of prices is deci dedly downwards, A cargo of Peruvian, which has been nearly three years in London docks, has been sold from £l2 10s, to £l3 per ton. For arrival cargoes of African are offering at prices varying from £5 10s. to £8 10s. per ton, according to the month.—London New Price Current. THE PRIZE COMEDY. — The Committee appointed by Mr. Webster to award the prize of £5OO to the best prose comedy illustrative of modern British manners and cus toms concluded their labours on Saturday, by adopting the piece entitled Quid pro quo, or the Day of Dupes. Of the authorship of this production, we are not at liberty to say more than it is by a lady, known to literary fame. There were 98 competitors. A BLIND CARPENTER,—Near Cheddar Cliffs, in Somersetshire, stands John Cooper's cottage. This ex traordinary man his been quite blind for forty years, during which period he has learned the trade of a carpen ter, and may be seen making a cart, waggon or some other, implement in husbandry, without the least assistance, his mortices and mouldings being truly accurate, and he can distinguish any kind of timber. NOVEL IMPORT.—A new trade has sprung up in Hull, to the benefit of the sister isle. On Friday morning, a stranger from Ireland arrived by railway, at seven o'clock. with a thousand and forty ducks, which were in Liverpool at seven the preceding evening. He sent them out in droves of fifty, in various parts of the town, and by Mon day evening had disposed of the whole (excepting the odd fatty), at Is. a couple. The speculation was so success ful, that he immediately sent for a further supply.—Hull paper. THE APOTHECARIES' HALL.—This establishment bas just issued a report of its proceedings since 1815, when penal enactments were passed against any unlicensed person practising. From the report it appears that, from August, 1815, to January, 1844, there were 11,564 appli cants for admission, of whom 1531 were rejected, and 10,033 admitted. In the years 1836-7, the applications were 622, which, in 1842-3, were reduced to 396, The report stated that the hall had succeeded in almost every prosecution against unqualified practitioners, and that each prosecution cost £320. A foot race for the championship came off on Tuesday, at Smitham Bottom, near London. The competitors were George Bradshaw, of Hammersmith, and Benjamin Butler, of Hanwell, the former a thin man of 5 feet 8 inches, and the latter a very stout person, measuring 6 feet 2 inches ; the first two miles were run in 17 minutes, the first six miles in 53 minutes. Both were together for eight miles. when Butler took the lead, and Bradshaw, Laving a violent pain in his side, gave in at the 15th mile. Butler performed the 25 miles very comfortably in four hours and a half. DEATH FROM VOLUNTARY STARVATION.—On Mon day afternoon, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Blue Anchor, Club-row, Bethnal-green, on the body of James Beasley, aged 51 years. It appeared by the evidence that the deceased was a weaver : that he lived by himself ; kept three large cats, which were in fine condition ; but he had himself wasted away for want of food, from which be had voluntarily abstained. It was ascertained, by post raorlem examination, that the intestines were quite empty, except a little water. Verdict—" Natural death, accelerated by exhaustion and starvation." The real fact is, we suppose that the poor fellow was a lunatic. REFUSING TO ASSIST A CONSTABLE.-0 11 Monday last, Mr. James Wade, of Wakefield, shopkeeper, was charged before the magistrates at the Court-house in that town, by Mr. Thomas Haigh, one of the constables ap pointed under the Parish Constables Act, with refusing to assist him to quell a disturbance after being charged so to do. Wr. Wade said he had a shop to attend to which Le could not leave. The Bench informed him that he was liable to an indictment for misdemeanor, and liable to be punished by fine or imprisonment or both. Mr. Haigh did not wish to press the charge, and Mr. Wade was or- dered to pay the expenses. ROBBERY AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—On Thursday, at Bow-street Police-office, two sisters, named Lindsay, the one a housemaid, and the other a linenwoman, em ployed at buckingham Palace, were brought up on the charge of stealing a quantity of blankets, counterpanes, &c., the property of her Majesty, and James Lindsay, their brother. a surgeon residing at 25, Upper Eaton street, Pimlico, was charged with receiving the same, knowing them to have been stolen. It appeared that the females carried off the articles at various times, and de posited them with their brother, who afterwards removed them from his lodgings. They were all remanded. SPECIMEN OF FREE TRADE.—A Mr. Goss, who has carried on the drapery business, at Davenport, twenty-one months, having commenced operations without a farthing of capital, has contrived to incur debts to the amount of nearly £30,000, and he, the other day, went before the Commissioner of Bankruptcy, at Exeter, with little or nothing to offer to his creditors. For postages of letters he bad set down 6s. per week ; twenty-one monthly journeys to London, £lO each ; string, brooms, brushes, &c., £2 2s. per week ; clothes, washing, medical advice, and pocket money, £122. The charge for gas was enor mous. He had twenty-eight assistants, for whose weekly board he charged 10s. each. He confessed that he had sold several hundred pounds' worth of goods to parties in London at a considerable reduction from the cost price, and made no note in his books of such transactions. THE DERBY —PIGEON EXPRESSING. — Expresses are generally now pet formed by steam, on rail or water, or by horses ; but the Derby was done by pigeons, which nei ther stop for water nor turnpikes, but shoot along their straightforward course, rejoicing in the blue serene! It is w i t h pigeons as with horses --that as a horse will always come home faster than he goes out, so will the pigeon ; and to increase this feeling in the bird, advantage is some times taken cf natural causes. For instance, a pigeon that left young ones at home will travel much faster than an indifferent brd. If ' money makes the mare to go," instinct is sure to make the bird to fly—and fly with in creasing joy at its nearer approach to borne! It was so on the Derby-day. o ur private extraordinary express beat our public one so much that the Sun was delivered on 'Change and all over town before our public one reached the office. We had thus the exclusive pleasure. not only of " d;stancing" our rivals, but the satisfaction of beating ourselves !—Sun. ASTRONOMICAL PROGNOSTICS OF RAIN.—Mr. G. Sug den, of Howden, writes thus to the Mark-lane Express: " I anticipate a sudden transition from drought to moist ure, as the planet Venus has entered the watery sign Cancer. An old author says, Venus, in the first ten degrees of Cancer, gives certain rain ; consequently, we may expect fine genial showers at intervals during the next ten days. Positive electricity prevails for a few days about the middle of the month, discharging itself in va rious parts of the ki ng d om , b u t, g e n e ra lly spearing, a fine growing month may be expected." Venus in Cancer has not, up to this time, been so bountiful as the old author avers her to be, at lea s t, we have but few or no droppings thereof in this part of the country. Hors.—Worcester, May 22.—The appearance of fly in many Hop-gardens has caused considerable excitement in our market within the last few days, and to several months of unusual dulness has succeeded an active trade, with an advance in prices from the lowest point of 7s. to Bs. per cwt., and which was firmly maintained in our market on Saturday. The present rates of the best 1843's ranged from £6 12s. to £6 16s. per cwt., and 1842's from 115 s to 120 s per cwt. Both sorts are scarce, and quite inadequate to meet the increased demand ; in consequence of which good fresh old hops have been in quired after, and some sales of 1837's and 1839's have been made at 503 to 63s per cwt., and a few old lots at 30s to 42s per cwt. There were 18 pockets weighed on Saturday. COLONEL FAWCETT AND MR. MUNRO.—Mr. Cuddy, of the 55th Foot, in replying to Mr. Munro's last letter, says—" In justice to the memory of Colonel Fawcett, I feel myself bound to contradict the statement made by Mr. Munro, to the effect that I was of opinion that Col. Fawcett intended to kill him, or that he (Mr. Munro) was =wed at my suggestion off a target on which he would otherwise have been placed, and which plainly inti mated the intentions of my principal.' The reverse is the fact. Colonel Fawcett solemnly assured me, previous to to the affair taking place, that although he felt himself forced to meet Mr. Munro, no consideration whatever should induce him to fire at the husband of his wife's sister ; and such was the case, as he did not discharge his pistol at all." In corroboration of the above, he encloses a letter from Major Daubeney, C. 8., 55th Regiment, who attended Colonel Fawcett, and who confirms the above statement. STEREOTYPE PRINTING. — Amongst the most impor tant discoveries of the day may be ranked an improve ment in the art of stereotype printing, for which Messrs. Kronheim and Skirving, of London, have obtained a patent, and which bids fair to work a complete revolu tion in the book-making world. The procuring of a cast of moveable types by the methods hitherto adopted with plaster of Paris was attended with great difficulty and loss of time,—objections so entirely removed by the sub stitution of some other substance by the new plan, that a perfect mould, free from all defects, may be obtained in half an hour. Under the old process the work occupied a day, and then frequently had to be done over again. We have seen specimens in which passages of Hebrew, Arabic, and other oriental languages are given, and the stereotype is a perfect fac-simile of the original. The saving in the expense of stereotyping effected by the new process will be 70 or 80 per cent., and the public will, no doubt, benefit greatly by it by and by, in the reduced cost of standard works. EXTENSIVE MEETING OF COLLIERS.—On Monday last, a very large meeting of the colliers of Oldham, Ashton-under-Lyne, and other places, was held at the back of the Albion Inn, Oldham. Benjamin Hawks head, a coal miner, was called to the chair? when Hamlet Booth and H. Berrill, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, advised the colliers and all other operatives to contribute to the assistance of the mining operative turn-outs of Northum berland and Durham, in their present struggle to obtain their wages. Mr. W. P. Roberts, the Attorney-General of the miners, spoke at great length on the propriety of the colliers striving to obtain a higher rate of wages, and on the evils of the administration of the laws practised upon miners. Several delegates from other places also addressed the audience, and resolutions were passed to support the turn-outs at Northumberland and Durham. A delegate meeting was afterwards held at the Old Mess House public-house. There are upwards of 1,500 coal miners in the above districts, and we understand tbat up wards of three-fourths have joined the Colliers' Union. THE NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA.—SOUTH AMPTON, MAY 22.—The heavy baggage of the new Go vernor-General of India is expected here in a day or two for shipment in the Great Liverpool, which departs for Alexandria on the Ist of June. The Governor-General and suite do not, however, embark here. They are to proceed via France to Marseilles, where a Government steamer will be in waiting to convey them direct to Egypt, from whence they will embark, at Suez, on board the Oriental Company's steam-ship, the Hindostan, for Cal cutte, and will arrive there about the 20th of July. Sir Henry Hardinge will be the first Governor-General of India who has proceeded to his government by what is called the overland route. It is a question whether Lord Ellenborough will have had time to make arrangements for his return before his successor's arrival, which will take place only a few days after Lord Ellenborough re ceives his recall. It is calculated that Sir Henry will have entered upon his high functions in India within little more than a couple of months from the date of his ap pointment being made in Leadenhall-street—a celerity of movement which the history of Indian affairs has never yet been able to record. SELF-TRANSPORTATION.—In the Royal Court, Guern sey, on Saturday week, James Cohu, aged 19, and Henry Dufour, aged 18, were charged with having at various times feloniously entered the premises of Mrs. De Lancey, at the Grange, and stolen therefrom sums of money to the amount of £l5 ; also a dozen of wine, as also 3s. from a dresser in the kitchen. Advocates Utermarck and Falla severally stated that the prisoners were not desirous of making any defence, " but they were willing to leave their country (i.e. Guernsey) for such period as the court might think fit to order, as had been done in several previous instances." The Queen's Procureur said, that as the only proof against the prisoners was derived from Cohu's confession, which was made under a promise given by Mrs. De Lancey that he should be admitted as Queen's evidence, and, considering that they were both young men, against whom no complaint had been previously brought, he recommended that the court should order Cohu to leave the island for six years, and Dufour for four years. The court, considering the above circum stances, and considering also that if the prisoners had been tried and convicted their " punishment " would not have exceeded that which they " asked for," ordered Cohu to quit the island for five years and Dufour for four years. The two young men left gaol for Southampton, to try their luck in the convict settlement of England. A WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN MURDERED.—On Tuesday last, a poor woman, named Ann Saville, and her three children, Mary, seven years old; Harriet, aged five years ; and Thomas, aged four years, were murdered, near Nottingham, by William Saville, the husband and father. On Monday, the woman and her children left the union workhouse, the husband having been in lodgings in Radford. On leaving she said she would endeavour to find her husband, and did so. On Tuesday morning, Saville, his wife, and family, were all in Nottingham to gether, and the husband said he lost sight of his wife near to Manvers-street, and he gave out that she drowned her self. Previous to being apprehended, he denied all know ledge of what had become of her, and even made pro posals of marriage to another woman, saying that the deceased was not his wife; but, when in custody, he admitted that he had married her nine years ago, and that her name was Ward. On Thursday the bodies of the wife and her three children were discovered with their throats cut, and dead, in a spinney between Colwick and been the eeeaterelne dragged Carlton. It was evident that a s t rugg l e h a d t a k en p l ace woman along and the the crass f o somer distance, ,shad i e n h ad n her hand was a razor. I n consequence of th i s informa tion the prisoner's trunk was sent for, and it was examined in his presence. The c on t en t s cons i s t e d pr i nc i pa l ly o f wearing apparel, but on a packet being taken out on which the word " arsenic " was written, the prisoner was stripped ; his trousers had several spots of blood upon them. His razor-case was found in the box, but without a razor, and it was stated that Mr. Sutton, where he lodged, could identify it, and that prisoner shaved him self on the morning when it is supposed be committed the murder. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT NAWORTH CASTLE. — About two o'clock on Saturday afternoon a violent fire broke out at Naworth Castle, Cumberland, one of the seats of the Earl of Carlisle. The engines were almost instantly sent off by the railway, and arrived at the scene of destruction about six o'clock, but not till the ro o f s of the principal building had fallen in, with the exception of the large tower, which the uncontrollable element had not reached. The exertions of the firemen were directed to this tower, which, after very great difficulty, was saved. The valua ble collection of oil paintings by the best masters, and also the ancient and valuable furniture, were nearly all destroyed. Naworth Castle was in ancient possession of the Dacres, and passed into the family of the Howards by marriage. Lord William Howard, third son of Thomas Duke of Norfolk, the famous " Belted Will" of border history, succeeded to it and a large domain annexed, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, in right of his wife Eliza beth, sister of George Lord Dacre, who died without heirs male. He was warden of the western marches, and was distinguished for his learning and literary research, as well as for the rigour with which he repelled the excesses of the daring moss-troopers who ventured to foray in his dis trict. In the castle of Naworth, his private apartments, comprising a bed-room, oratory, and library, as well as the " Bilhoa blade by marchmen felt," the broad and s tudded belt in which he wore it, his embroidered gloves, and splendid suit of armour, were shown to the public, in addition to the other objects of interest in the castle. Sir Walter Scott, in allusion to them, says, they impress us with an unpleasing idea of the life of a lord warden of the marches. Three or four strong doors separating the se rooms from the rest of the castle, indicate apprehensions of treachery from his garris on ; and the secret winding passages through which he could privately descend into h t e h e a nci n e the guard-rooms, or even int o the dungeons , . imply the necessity - of no small degree of secret superintendence on booksthe pa ratnodf furniture governor.ture have r e m A a n i n d e li d e add " a undisturbed, t s vene rable appearance of these apartments, and the armour scattered around the chamber, almost lead us to expect the arrival of the lord warden in person. All these in valuable relics are now destroyed, or if a few have escaped, Naworth Castle, are displaced and deprived of muc h of. their interest, and a smouldering ruin is all that re mains o f N Castle, one of the most formidable and beautiful of t he border t e border fortresses. Although very favoura bl y about twelve miles from Carlisle, the castl e was not often sitd the residence of the noble family to whom it belonged, as they preferred the greater splendour and convenience of Castle Howard, in Yorkshire, where they are at present - esiding ; but in the shooting season the younger mem bers of the family, and their friends, always assembled at Naworth to enjoy the field sports, for which the wild Al , ratter of the surrounding country affords peculiar faci • lities. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LOCAL, NEWS. NEW COUNTY MAGISTRATE.—On Thursday last, at Preston Sessions, George Ormerod, Esq., of Fern Hill, Bacup, qualified as a mazistrate for this county. COMMITMENT.—O❑ Wednesday last a female, named Fitzgerald, was committed for trial for robbing a butcher, of the name of Talbot, (whom she had enticed into a house in Skelhorne-street,) of two half-crowns and two shillings. BURGLARY.—On Saturday night last, the office of Messrs. Brown and Green, metchants, of Commerce court, Lord-street, was entered by means of skeleton keys, and four papers of silver, containing £5 each, were abstracted. The thieves, who left a skeleton-key after them, have since eluded the vigilance of the police. ROBBERY OF ONE HUNDRED YOUNDS.—About a quarter after twelve o'clock, on Friday last, a Bank of England note for £lOO was stolen from the counter of the Branch Bank of England, in Hanover-street. The note had just been received from the cashier. A reward of £lO has been offered. STALLS IN THE STREETS.—At the Police-court, yes terday, several persons were fined for erecting stalls for the sale of goods in the streets, contrary to the provisions of the improvement act.—Mr. Rushton expressed the determination of the magistrates in all cases to inflict penalties. IMPROVEMENT OF KIRKDALE,—Within the last few months, several hundred dwelling-houses have been erected in Kirkdale. The recently opened ground about St. Mary's Church is covered with neat cottages, and all tenanted. Between the village and Bootle-lane, Mr. Duckworth has laid out a very picturesque and elegant little square, surrounded with villas. ROBBERY OF THIRTY SOVEREIGNS.-0 11 Saturday night a man of the name of Thomas Farmer, who had taken his passage to New York by the ship Samuel Hicks, was robbed of thirty sovereigns by three fellows, who en ticed him to a public-house, and, by the well-known trick, entitled " ringing the changes", induced him to exhibit his money, and then plundered him of every shilling he had in his possession. IMPORTANT TO GAS CONSLMERS.—In the course of the hearing of some cases for the receiving of money due by parties for the consuming of gas, on Thursday last, a t the Police-court, it appeared that by a recent act of par liament, which received the royal assent on the tenth of the present month, the price of gas fittings may be re covered by the same summary process as arrears for gas— that is for the fittings supplied subsequent to the passing of the said act, for its clauses are inoperative as respects the recovery of the cost of fittings before it was enacted. PUBLICANS AND BEERSELLERS FINED.—At the Po lice-court, on Friday, the following persons were fined in the amounts respectively affixed to their names, for vio lation of the improvement act. In the whole of the cases costs were incurred :—Publicans—William Hickson, Waterloo-road, 60s. Beersellers—John Threlfall, Prince William-street, 40s; Elizabeth Lynas, Freemason's row, £5 ; Hannah Lewis, Porter-street, 60s ; Nicholas Coyle, Lace-street, £5 ; James Lovatt, Banastre-street, £5 ; Thomas Winder, Lambert-street, £5. PORT OF RUNCORN.—There has been a greater num ber of arrivals at this port this month, than at any former period ; large consignments of iron for the manufacturing districts have arrived, as well as clay and flint for the Potteries ; the tonnage of goods which passed up the Bridgewater canal last week, was greater than has ever been known since its construction. These facts, with the large quantities of manufactured goods passing through for Liverpool, denote a better state of things than has ex isted for several years past. SINGULAR ROBBERY.—On Saturday night the founda tion-stone of the new Northern Hospital, Great Howard street, which was laid, about a fortnight since, by the Mayor, was removed, and the bottle which, at the time, was placed underneath with so much ceremony, was ab stracted. The thieves, no doubt, fancied that it contained some of the coin of the realm, but in this they were dis appointed, as its contents consisted merely of a printed list of the committee and officers of the institution. The bottle was found broken to pieces, at a short distance from the spot. BIRTHS EXTRAORDINARY.—On Wednesday last, a monkey of the East Indian breed, gave birth to a young one, at the Zoological Gardens. The latter is quite a curiosity, and with its mother, are doing "as well as could be expected ;" and indeed much better, for the mother may be seen hopping about with the young one at its breast. On the same day, mirabile dictu, a brood of five black swans (those rarce area in terris) were hatched at the same establishment, which has further been in creased, during the present week, by the birth of four young hyeanas, which are being suckled by a terrier bitch, ST. NICHOLAS'S CHURCHYARD. — On Saturday three idle fellows were brought before Mr. Rushton on a charge of having been riotous and disorderly in St. Nicholas's Churchyard. After the cases had been adjudicated upon, Mr. Rushton sent for Mr. Miller, the Head-constable, and told that officer that a gang of most disorderly fel lows were in the habit of frequenting the churchyard in question. He said he was anxious to have the place cleared of them. Mr. Miller said there was an officer constantly at the yard for the purpose of quelling ther turbulent conduct, but that he should have them prevented from assembling in future. ROBBERY OF FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS.—On Thursday morning last, the out-door clerk of the Rayal Bank of Liverpool, received Bank of England notes to de amount of £1,5C0 at the office of the Branch Bank in Har over-street, and between that place and Tarlton-street a black leather case, in which they had been deposited, was picked from his pocket, and not the slightest trace of the property has since been discovered. A. reward of £lOO has been offered for the apprehension of the thief or thieves. We regret to state that the numbers of only four of the stolen notes are known. One of them was for £5OO. STEALING A WATCH.—On Saturday a young female, named Ann Sullivan, was brought up before Mr. Rush ton on a charge of having stolen a silver watch belonging to Mr. Edward Black more, R.N., formerly of Dublin. It appeared, that, while the complainant and his wife were attending divine service the preceding Sunday, the pri soner, who was a servant in the house in which they lodged, 6, Clarence-street, took the watch from the mantelpiece in the sitting-room, and asked a widow, of of the name of Ann W. Daly, who occupied a cellar in Brownlow-hill, to keep a small jar for her for a few days. She told Daly that the jar, which was tightly fastened up in brown paper, contained an ointment for the eyes. Daly placed it in her drawer, and, shortly after, her son tore off the paper, and discovered the watch inside. This led to the prisoner's apprehension, and she was, of course, committed for trial. NEW BUILDINGS IN EVERTON. The Richmond of Liverpool is fast losing its character as a fashionable sub urban residence. The valley between Everton and the t lwn has for some time been covered with small property, and last year the upper part of Prince Edwin-street was completely built up with courts and cottages. At this moment three streets are in progress, very near comple tion, running from lietherfield road North to George's Hill and Northumberland Terrace, and as one house rises above another like steps of stairs, the effect is curi ous. These houses are intended to be let for about £2O a year rent, and several are already tenanted. At George's Hill, several houses, rather more expensive, are in course of erection, and a very neat little street, with houses on one side has just been opened from George's Hill to Church-street. Mr. James Heyworth, for the privacy of his house and gardens, has purchased and planted the ground on the opposite side. STEALING SUGAR. — On Saturday, a labouring man, named George Bostock, was brought before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of having plundered Bernard and Ledson's warehouse, in Dundee-street, of a quantity of sugar. Constable Keogh saw the prisoner enter Savage's marine store, the day before, with his coat on his arm, and he shortly after found him in the back cellar of the store with his coat loosely thrown over some old ropes, Upon examining the coat he found a handkerchief con taining a quantity of sugar. The prisoner's hat contained about a stone of the same article ; and a bag, which was found upon him, contained about an equal quantity. It subsequently turned out that the fellow had cut open several bags of bonded sugar, belonging to Messrs. Platt and Hamills, in the warehouse above mentioned, and abstracted what was found upon his person. The sugar had not paid duty, and was worth obout 70s. per cwt. He was committed for trial. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CONNEXION WITH THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF IRELAND.—A public meeting of the members and friends of t he n e w con g re g ation of 's church, lately established in this town, was advertised to have been holden in the Commercial-hall, Gloucester street, on Thursday evening. A few minutes after the hour announced for the opening of the meeting, several reverend gentlemen ascended the platform, when it was announced that the meeting would be adjourned, in con sequence of circumstances having transpired which ren dered it impracticable for the deputation advertised—the Rev. Dr. Stewart, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland; Dr. Cooke, of Bel fast ; Dr. Brown, of Ahadoey ; Mr. Dobbin, of Ballymena, and other eminent personages—to attend. A letter from the Rev. Dr. Stewart was read by the secretary, express ing the deep regret which the deputation felt at not being able to make good their appointment, which originated in having laid before the Lord Chancellor a marriage bill, the proceeding of which required their attendance. The meeting was announced to be held some day in the ensuing week, when the gentlemen forming the original deputation will be in attendance. EARLY CLOSING OF SHOPS.—On Wednesday morn ing another six o'clock meeting was held in the Circus street school-room, Byrom-street, for the purpose of ap pointing six district committees for the northern division of the town. Mr. Flower was called to the chair. He stated the object in view, and after recommending the ap pointment of the committees to the assistants, called upon T. A. Flower, who moved a resolution appointing them, and dwelt on the importance of the duties that would devolve upon them. Tears, he said, had been shed by the mothers, the wives, and the daughters of En gland over the wrongs of the slave abroad, and the nation had emancipated them ; yet meanwhile, and long after wards, a system of slavery not less fraught with moral dangers to society had been permitted, and even en couraged, by the same parties. He did not attribute this to any want of benevolence on the part of his fair coun trywomen, but to their ignorance of the grievances of the assistants ; and to make them known was the busi ness of these committees. Mr. Mirams seconded the re solution, urging the meeting for united exertions, which had been successfully pursued by the booksellers and ironmongers. The chairman reminded the meeting that the booksellers and ironmongers had wrought upon a sympathy which this association, after a labour of four years, had excited ; and he rejoiced in their success.

Leander made the running for about half a mile, when, froth some unaccountable twist, his off hind-leg broke be tween the hock and the fetlock, and he was instantly pulled up. Running Rein now ran through his horses, and took a decided lead, followed by Akbar and The Ugly Buck, who severally kept their places round the turn, and until near the road, where both were unequi vocally beaten, and Colonel Peel's two were left to fol low their leader home.

SIR,—It is not our province to take part in public discussions upon questions of political economy ' • but we are compelled, in self-defence, to refer to the letter of " Publius," in the Times of this day, on the subject of " Trade with France," which is made the medium of an unwarrantable attack upon us. " Publius" is, no doubt, an interested party, who, un der the shelter of an anonymous signature, would fain serve himself and other holders of French brandy. To do this he adopts two means—argument, if his writing can be so called, tending tw'a reduction of the duty on French brandy, and therebylto enhance the value of that article in bond ; and abuse, applied to British produce, with a view to creating a greater demand for the foreign. He, and those interested with him, or whose feelings he is en gaged to represent, may justly feel alarm at " the conti nually declining quantity of French brandy which pays duty for consumption, in the face of a constantly increas ing population ;" and, having little regard for truth or consistency, it is not to be wondered at that, in the spirit of unscrupulous advocacy, he should assign any but the real cause for such decreasing consumption; or that he should attempt to put down successful competition, which is the real cause, by vulgar abuse. Indeed, so reckless is he, that not satisfied with an onslaught upon British dis tillers, he even assails the whole medical and chemical professions. The simple truth is, that the constantly increasing de mand for our Patent Brandy has made an important in road upon the trade in foreign brandy; and that this, with the adoption of our Patent Metallic Capsules, as an effectual security to the public against the fraudulent sub stitution of inferior spirits, has occasioned the utmost uneasiness in those who deal in foreign brandy. That " Publius" is what we have described him to be, there cannot be a doubt. He asks for a reduction in the duty on French brandy, not for the benefit of the consu mers who will, at any price, indulge their taste for " the finest Cognac; but for the purpose of effecting " a conci liation of the most powerful agricultural interest" of France. Generous Cosmopolite ! He is eager to sacri fice every native interest (except that of th holders of French brandy) at the shrine of foreign prosperity. What to him the grain of England in competition with the grapes of France ? If there be sorrow in our farmsteads, will there not be joy in the vineyards abroad ? Although our firm is not mentioned by name, yet, as our Patent brandy is the produce of British grain—as the trade description of it comes within the scope of " high sounding titles"—and as its healthfulness and genuine purity are borne out by the " testimony of scientific men," it is barely possible to suppose that " Publius" did not intend, and deliberately perpetrate, a personal attack upon us ; or that the passage referred to has not been more or less applied to us by your readers, and the public generally, many of whom are unpossessed of the absolute merits of the case. We maintain, Sir, and we have the most incontroverti ble evidence of the fact, that our Patent Brandy, distilled from British grain, is a purer and more wholesome spirit than Cognac or other French Brandy. This has been ascertained by the most careful analysis, made by Chemi cal Professors whose names rank with the most eminent in the world—by " scientific men," who were unquestion ably paid, not any agreed sum, as is basely insinuated by " Publius," for the purpose of influencing their opinions respectively, but according to the charge made by them, for the time and professional skill bestowed upon the in quiry, as a physician, a barrister, or any other gentleman, would be paid for first-rate professional services. That the opinion of such a person as " Publius" would conform with that of any purchaser, at a given price, we have no reason to doubt. On the contrary, we believe him to be a commodity for any market—at present disposable by the holders of Foreign Brandy. But " the gall and wormwood" to " Publius" is, that the genuine and decided testimonials in our favour have had their natural effect upon our sale. They have led to the use of our Patent Brandy by an immense number of private consumers, among whom the greatest men of the day might be named ; and to its being prescribed, daily, in preference to French Brandy, by the highest medical authorities at Guy's, St. George's, and the Westminster Hospitals ; at the Manchester, Bristol, and Brighton In firmaries ; and, in short, at all the principal hospitals and public institutions in England. Free from the acid inseparable from French brandy, and from its astringent nature, we challenge competition at home and abroad ; and whilst we thus tear away the mask from " Publius," controvert his statements, and repudiate his conclusions, we say at once that fear of competition does not for a moment influence us in writing this letter. The fashion for the use of French brandy is rapidly passing away. British science and British enter prise have succeeded in raising the produce of British Grain far in intrinsic value above that of foreign grapes ; and however much the duty on foreign spirits may be re duced, we are confident that such a reduction will not prevent the continued increase of demand for our patent brandy. We are, Sir, Your most obedient Servants, J. T. BETTS, Jun. and Co. 7, Smithfield Bars, London. WINE FININGS. — An article of a new and certainly useful character for fining wine is advertised in our paper of to-day; and so truly efficacious is it that one bottle is sufficient to rectify a hogshead of liquor, and the price does not exceed ss. per gallon. It is applicable to either port or sherry, and is warranted to keep any length of time. STEAM TO THE LAKES.—We are glad to find that the favourite steamer, Windermere, has again commenced plying between this port and Ulverstone. She has been fitted with new boilers, condensers, &e., and the whole of her hull has been thoroughly overhauled and repaired ; the cabin too has been redecorated, and no exerti.n has been spared to secure the comfort of those who may during the insuing summer visit the picturesque and beautiful scenery of Cumberland and Westmorland. It is calculated that under all ordinary circum,tances, the passage to Ulverstone will be made in about 3 hours. BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT TO HER MAJESTY AND ALL THE ROYAL FAMILY.

('CAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE kJ TEA is an admixture of 40 rare Black Teas, produced on as many different plantations, each Tea differing from the rest, and possessing a flavour, a fragrance, or strength, peculiar to itself. Blended together in the proper pro portions, they comprise all that is desirable in Tea. This discovery was not the effect of chance, but of many great advantages united in one individual, and the result of numerous experiments and the most minute analysis. For another to produce the same result, he must possess equal skill, the same discriminating taste, equal power of procuring the forty various Teas required, and know the exact proportions of each kind used—and though he may never once have visited China, he must have had equal opportunities of securing to himself, its productions : with one who, like Captain Pidding, has spent years there in acquiring these advantages, and to whom alone How qua—years before his death—imparted at Canton, the secret of compounding his Mixture. Yet there are upwards of 500 retailers pretending to sell tea, they call " Howqua's Mixture"—each mixture dif fering from all the others. Now as there can be but ONE REAL " Howqua's Mixture," it follows that, as 500 dif ferent medleys are offered-499 must be spurious. The 499 counterfeits are so many evidences of the superiority of the ONE GENUINE. And it would be absurd to suppose that Captain Pidding, with advantages, the result of Eight Voyages made to China, and five years spent in that country, would be so silly—even were it possible —as to yield them up to 500 others, or impart to them so valuable a secret. _ The very great celebrity this Tea has acquired, having tempted many unprincipled persons to give similar, or nearly similar titles to their own spurious mixtures, to guard against such imposition, purchasers should observe that " THE SIGNATURE THUS, " Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING, Honourable Company's Service, is on every genuine Package.
