History, indeed, records the name of Thomas Bolton as the last of his species who bloomed in the council chamber ;—as the ultimate or penultimate joint in the tail of the incubus which for some ten years has been allowed to desecrate the seat of the mayoralty of Liverpool. The virtuoso may prize his name as he would that of the last man who was hung at " Tyburn tree"—as he would the last three shilling piece which was issued from the mint—or any other similar curiosity ; but we have no wish to convert our gallery into a receptacle for such commodities—into a store-room for the odds and ends of humanity. We purpose decorating its walls with the lineaments of great men—of men whose names like those of Sir Joshua Walmsley or Mr. William Earle deserve to live in the world's estimation for ever ; but Thomas Bolton is only great by courtesy,—great for one twelve months by virtue of his office—great as the present head of the Town Hall menage, and as the " most desartless captain" of the Town Hall dogberries. We remember having heard somewhere a story of a Flemish painter, who having been paid to paint the " facial develope ments" of a worthy burgomaster, after several ineffectual attempts, threw down his brush in despair, and with a noble disinterestedness returned the money which he had received. The burgomaster had not a face to paint ; ergo, the artist could not earn his fee. Our mayor is in this respect not unlike the worthy burgomaster ; and we must, with all due submission, band over the painting of his exterior to some of those less aspiring artists who execute all house signs—paint " jolly carters" or " merry cobblers"—and occasionally con descend to coat with rainbow, hues, the shafts, body and wheels of a cart, or a wheelbarrow. The red rotundity of visage which won the hearts of all beholders in the person of "sweet Kitty Clover," whose face was " As red and as round and as fat, As a red pulpit cushion, or redder than that, is not to our taste ; although, when combined with the ro bust frame and the stout nether limbs of his worship, the whole might furnish an admirable subject for such an artist as we have alluded to. The addition of a blouse-vuglo, a tmock frock—to the snuff-brown " Benjamin" and the drab "unmentionables" of the mayor, would furnish as excellent a representation of the jolliest of carters, as ever swung upon a post or blew the froth off a pot of beer. But after all, what are externals ? Beneath this rough and somewhat unprepossessing exterior may lie a soul stupid in all the rarer essences of humanity. " Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear ;" and such a gem may be the mind which slumbers beneath the massy frame of our worthy chief magistrate. Some " mute inglorious Milton"—some " Cromwell, guiltless of his coun try's blood"—it may be, after all, which, in our blindness, we now slight in the person of Mr. Thomas Bolton. We fear, however, that such is not the fact ; that a very ordinary and somewhat bitter kernel it is which is contained within that rough and unpromising shell. In every thought and in every feeling Mr. Bolton is a thorough " utilitarian"—a mere mat ter-of-fact man. Taste, fancy, imagination, he possesses not a very particle of. " A primrose, by the river's brim, A yellow primrose is to him." A light cloud flitting over the blue face of an April morn is to him no more than a hint to put his umbrella under his arm. He never dreams, except he has eat a heavy supper, and then it is only of a fall in the price of " Boweds" or " Orleans," or of a protested bill drawn upon a Yankee speculator in bank stock or backwood allotments. He never wrote nor never read a line of poetry in his life. Painting, sculpture, music he cares not for. His balance sheet at Christmas is to him a more pleasing object than a master piece of Raphael. A column of figures in his ledger he would inspect with greater interest than the column of Trajan. All these, however, are very praiseworthy habits, no doubt, in your mere man of business ; and in this character.vo rea dily admit that Mr. Bolton is unexceptionable. In his private capacity—on 'Change, in his counting-house, or by his fire side—we have every inclination to be satisfied with him. In his public capacity, however, as a politician, we cannot accord to him the same meed of praise. Contracted utilitarian views and a sour and overbearing spirit have ever distin guished him in his public conduct. He would not waive a prejudice even to win the good opinion of an opponent, but rather insist upon his humour, purposely to aggravate his hostility ; and as the natural result of this unamiable spirit, he is about the " best disliked" man of his party—to which circumstance, no doubt, in a great measure, he owes his ele vation to civic pre-eminence. That " impartiality" and " gentlemanly conduct" which in Sir Joshua Walmsley won the unvarying applause of our contemporaries, is not, we fear, likely to be a shining characteristic of the present Mayor— to whom, should he ever be rewarded by the honours of knighthood for his assiduities in " toadying" the persons of any of her Majesty's imbeciles, we would suggest the title of Sir Bruin, in addition to his patronymic of Bolton ; and for his crest, a hand grasping a soup ladle—gastronomic taste, we believe, having been the only taste ever displayed by his worship, and that which has alone distinguished his mayoralty. DISCONTINUANCE OF THE "TRACTS FOR THE TIMES." The important communication which the above title con veys is made in a letter addressed by the Rev. Mr. Newman to the Bishop of Oxford. His lordship has gravely stated that he considers that the Tract No. 90 is " objectionable, and may tend to disturb the peace and tranquillity of the church ;" and " advises that the Tracts /or the Times should be discontinued." In compliance with this remonstrance, Mr. Newman has announced that No. 90 will doge the series. MEETING OF THE SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE AT LEEDS. On Wednesday evening, the anniversary meeting of the Leeds District Society for the Promotion of Christian Know ledge, was held in the Music Hall, Albion-street, Leeds, and was very numerously attended. The Lord Bishop of Ripon presided. After the first resolution had been passed unanimously, the Bishop announced that the second resolution would be moved by the Rev. Dr. Hook, the vicar of the parish. The Rev. Dr. Hook immediately rose and was received with the most cordial cheering, which lasted for some time. When the applause had subsided, he said—My Christian Friends, I thank you for that long and loud applause. (Re newed cheers. It tells me that whatever others may say of me lam still secure of your support. (Loud applause.) It tells me that you adhere to those principles and doctrines that I preach—those good old high church doctrines. (Loud cheers.) It tells me that in whatever Protestant pulpit Popery may be preached, in my Catholic pulpit you hear only those doctrines of the Church of England by which Popery can be refuted. (Renewed plaudits.) My Christian friends, we can no longer shut oar eyes, after what we have heard in various parts of the country, to the lamentable fact that the Church of England is now divided into two parties. It is a lamentable fact ; and I should very much have wished that it had been otherwise. In my humble sphere I have endea voured even to avoid the appearance of forming a party, the appearance even of " lording it over God's heritage," and God Almighty knows that it never was my wish. (Applause.) But parties now are formed. A party has been found act ing in a party spirit, and on party tactics, in various parts of the country ; and in self-defence a party now must be formed to meet it. (Cheers.) We can no longer halt between two opinions ; we cannot attempt to hunt with the hounds and to run With the hare ; we must take our part ; and as far as I am concerned I will nail my colours to the mast of high prin ciple, and blow high or blow low come sunshine or come storm, through the grace of God, I will adhere to them. (Loud applause.) Now, my Christian friends, I will tell you what' I mean by our taking a decided part. It is often said, I have heard it frequently said, by laymen " What are we poor lay men to do ?"—laymen who are perfectly determined to take their own course—but, " what are we to do when we find that on some particular points the clergy are themselves divided ?" I will tell you the safe course, which is this--to discover what party acts on those general principles which we generally approve, and to that party to give our support, notwithstanding the occasimaal extravagancies to which indi viduals of that party may be led by their enthusiasm for all that is high, elevating, and holy, for the demonstration of their principles for the edification of the church or the glory of God. (Applause.) Now the two parties into— The Bishop of Ripon.—Perhaps my learned friend will allow me to observe that this is scarcely consistent with— (The renewed plaudits of the assembly prevented the rest of the sentence from being heard, if uttered.) My Christian friends, we are come here to promote the cause of Christian knowledge, and I do earnestly—(a repetition of, the cheers prevented his lordship from proceeding.) Hear me, while I in Christian kindness beg my Christian friend to consider whether he may not confine himsejf to the subject we are met to promote. (Great excitement prevailed.) The Rev. William Williamson, in a stentorian voice, ex claimed, from the upper part of the orchestra—" Hear the bishop, heat the bishop, hear the bishop." The Bishop rejoined—" I have been heard—l have spo ken," and resumed his seat. Lr. Hook (after a burst of applause)—lf I had been allowed, I should have shown how the subject on which I have been speaking may be made to bear upon the object of our present meeting ; but after what our respected diocesan has said I shall content myself with saying nothing more than requesting you to adopt the resolution that I proceed to read to you— _ " That this meeting is deeply impressed with the liberality which the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge has shown, both by the grants for various purposes to this town and neighbourhood, and by the great reduction which has been made in the prices of Bibles and Testaments." On this point it will be unnecessary for me to detain you any great length of time. You all know how liberally the grants have been made by this -society. You are all well aware of that, and, therefore, I feel quite certain that you will gladly and cordially adopt the resolution which I now submit to you. (Loud and long continued cheers marked the conclusion of the Rev. vicar's address.) [We take the above from the Leeds Intelligencer . of Sa turday last. In a subsequent speech, Dr. Hook apologised to the bishop for " having unintentionally disturbed, or nearly so, the harmony of the meeting."] The perpetual movement has for countless years, it seems, acted as a night mare to many of the ingenious manufac turers of the Jura. One of them had been for twenty years occupied with this chimerical pursuit. , Last year he thought he had attained the desired discovery, and constructed a machine so admirably contrived that it went with the most perfect regularity for eight successive months. This cer tainly was a most flattering result, and encouraged the in ventor to en t erta i n the full hope that he ha d f oun d out a principle hitherto deemed non-existent. Alas ! the delusion was doomed to p ass away. About a week ago the wonderful piece of mechanism came to a sudden stop, and with it the life of its visionary contriver ; for, on the following morning, he was found self-suspended to a beam in his barn. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TuintspAy The Ordnance Survey Bill was comnLiiited7;;;;iormci, in order that some amendments might be made. It was or dered to be printed, and to be reported on Monday, on the understanding that the report should not be taken into con sideration until after April, in order to give time to consider some amendments suggested by Lord G. Somerset. The house having resolved itself into a committee of the whole house upon the Poor Law Amendment .Bill, the 18th clause was read by Mr. BERNAL. Its object was to give' the unions power to contract with the guardians for the mainte nance of their poor. Lord G. SOMERSET was opposed to the clause altogether, but before voting against it Irz would move as an amendment, in order to make the clause as good as such a clause could be made, that paupers should not be moved away from the workhouses of their district against their consent. Lord .1. RUSSELL suggested that the objection might be obviated by limiting the distance to which the paupers should be sent. He could not, however, agree that the consent of the pauper should be necessary, for that would render the clause nugatory. Mr. WARD suggested the withdrawal of the clause as beinz utterly irrecoucileable to the feelings of the country. Lord J. RUSSELL said he would withdraw the clause, and this was done accordingly. On the 19th clause being proposed, the object of which was to render wives liable in certain cases, such as the husband being in custody, or transported, or a lunatic, to maintain their children, notwithstanding coverture, Mr. WAKLEY said the clause was possesses of the same savage character as the one which had just been withdrawn. They were told they should not make use of exciting language in discussing this measure, but the measure itself, in all its parts, was such an outrage upon all our feelings of humanity, that it was impossible to refrain from speakinc , of it in strong language. As the 18th.clause had been withdrawn, he hoped this would also be withdrawn, or if not, that it would be re jected by the, house. Lord J. RUSSELL said that humanity was to be shewn to those hard working people who bad the burden upon them of maintaining those persons. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL being called upon to give an explanation of this clause, did so, and from his elucidation it appeared that the clause not only threw the maintenance of children whose father was beyond the seas, no matter whether for mercantile purposes or otherwise, upon the mo ther, but actually threw the like burden on the mother, in cases where the husband was not away, but where he had either refused or neglected to take care of his family. Lord G. SOMERSET said that a clause like this should meet with his most strenuous opposition. In cases where a father refused to support his family, they sought, instead of compelling him to do so, to punish the innocent mother by this severe clause. Instead of alleviating the misery of a wretched mother under suc'o circumstances, they sought to add to it, by giving an interest to the parish to fasten on the mother, and take no care or pains to search after the profli gate father. Mr. FRESIIFIELD said the clause was a cruel one, for if a woman's husband was an idiot or insane, which would be to her a sufficient misfortune in itself, she was to be forced into the workhouse, even though able to maintain herself, unless she could also maintain the children. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE also contended that the clause was in human, and hoped it would be expunged: _ Sir C. GREY - said that the bill: was humane and moral in all its tendencies. Capt. PECHELL was opposed to the clause. • Sir T. ACLAND thought the house was not ripe for a de cision upon a clause of such an extensive nature as this, and recommended its postponement. _ Dr. LUSHINOTO N thought the clause was full of hardships, and more particularly towards those who went to sea, either in our naval or commercial marine—persons who should be rather favourably considered than otherwise in any enact ment which might pass that house. Several other hon. members expressed themselves in terms of strong disapprobation of the clause. Lord J. RUSSELL said the clause certainly required amend ment, and as the feeling of the committee appeared to be so strong respecting it, he would propose that it should be postponed with a view to its alteration. Lord G. SOMERSET suggested that the noble lord should strike out the clause altogether, and introduce a new one with such limitations as he thought proper. To this suggestion L'ord J. RUSSELL assented, and the clause was struck out accordingly. The 20th and 21st clauses were agreed to. On the 22d clause being proposed, the object of which was to empower guardians to enlarge and alter workhouses within the district of the metropolitan police, and to charge the ex penditure to the poor-rates, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved an amendment, the effect of which was to render necessary the consent of the rate-payers. Mr. WARLEY hoped that this clause might be either post poned or rejected, and invoked the assistance of the right hon. gentleman opposite (Sir R. Peel) to procure such rejection. Sir R. PEEL could not allow himself to be cajoled by the hon. member into opposing a clause which he really thought very reasonable. Mr. HAWES supported the clause. Mr. W. Arrwoon hoped, if this power were granted, that it would be used with great discretion ; for it was a very large power indeed to entrust to a board of guardians. Mr. GROTE, in supporting the clause, declared that the unpopularity of the new poor-law bill in the city had subsided since it had become better understood. Mr. WAKLEY said that the diminished hostility to the bill in the city was owing to the fact that the city unions were unrestricted in the administration of out-door relief. Mr. DUNCOMBE, after some further discussion, pressed his amendment, which was lost on a division by a majority of 216 to 11. The clause was then agreed to. On the 23d clause being put from the chair, Lord J. RUSSELL said its object was to enable the com• missioners to decide upon the trades to which poor children should be apprenticed. Tradesmen in difficult circumstances were frequently anxious to obtain parish apprentices, with a view to the premium, although their trades might be already overstocked. Lord HowicK supported the clause, which would prove most salutary in correcting very great abuses. Sir E. WILLMOTT thought the clause should be rejected altogether. SIBTHORP moved that the clause should be expunged. The committee divided, and the clause was carried by a majority of 143 to 74. _ _ _ _ The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Friday. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY The Population Bill was read a second time, and the Borough Improvements Bill passed through a committee, and the report was ordered to be received on Friday, the 23d instant. The Duke of WELLINGTON complained that some returns he had moved for, respecting the poor law guardians of Naas, has not yet been returned. He was the more anxious to have these returns, owing to the fact that the returning officer of the board of guardians had been tried and convicted of an offence which he would not further advert to. The noble duke concluded by moving for a return of the record of the trial of Bartholomew Casey, in Dublin, on the 7th of July, 1839, before Chief Justice Dogherty and Judge Johnson. The Marquis of NORMANBY said he had reason to think there was in that case some mistake as to the identity of the party. The papers were very voluminous, but they should be laid upon the table as speedily as possible. The Metropolitan Drainage Bill, and the Metropolitan Building Regulation Bill passed through committee, and the reports were ordered to be received on Friday, the 23d instant. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY Mr. BLACKSTONE moved that a copy of the proceedings in the case of the St. Alban's election committee be laid upon the table. The hon. member complained of the unsatisfac tory character o f election committees, and referred to a rumour that a compromise had taken place, by which the proceedings in the St. Alban's and Canterbury election committees should be_simuitaneously abandoned. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE treated such a rumour as, a calumny, although he must admit that there was prima' facie evidence to countenance such a report. He would move as an amend ment that the evidence before the Canterbury election com mittee should be also laid before the house. Mr. SANFORD (the chairman of the St. Alban's election committee) expressed his satisfaction that this motion had been brought forward. The hon. gentleman defended the committee, who were, he said, most nervously anxious to do their duty, though they were not a little perplexed by the arguments of two clever lawyers, and the more so because of the absence of any legal authority. He was of opinion that a legal assessor should be appointed to decide such points, or the house itself should lay down rules as to the evidence that should and should not be received. Mr. CLIvE (the chairman of the Canterbury committee) repudiated all knowledge of a compromise. He could not, of course, know what had been done amongst the lawyers ; but the committee were only anxious to do their duty conscien tiously. Lord HowicK knew from experience how difficult it was to determine the points presenting themselves to a commit tee, without having had the advantage of a professional edu cation. The counsel on both sides invariably presumed QII the ignorance of the committees, and raised most vexatious questions, thus rendering the committee-room almost a scene of wrangling. There was so much difficulty in esta blishing agency in cases of bribery, that he saw no other re medy than that of authorising committees to examine both principals and agents. If something like this were not done, it would be better at once to repeal all the laws relating to bribery, leaving every one to do the best he could. There was in the present case very strong suspicion of a compro mise, and lie was rather surprised that no one had risen to give to such a supposition an explicit denial. Mr. JAMES said he was exceedingly surprised at finding, on the close of his election for Carlisle, that thousands of pounds had been given by his agents for the purchase of votes. The only remedy for this was, he contended, vote by ballot. Sir R. PEEL defended the election committees under the present system, and could not see any advantage to be de rived from the production of the evidence. Mr. INAKLEY moved for the production, also, of the evi dence taken by the Walsall committee. After some further discussion, the evidence taken before all three committees was ordered to be produced. The house then resolved itself into committee upon the poor law amendment bill. - The 2-Ith clause was struck out. After considerable discussion, the 25th clause, relating to the burial of paupers, w as agreed to. On the 26th clause being proposed, which provided that the casual poor should be chargeable to the whole union, Lord G. SOMERSET moved that the clause should be omitted. On a division, the clause was carried by a majority of 115 to 66. _ The 27th clause, which provided that notices of removal might be served by post, caused co ns id era bl e di scuss i on, b ut it was carried on a division by a majority of 130 to 59. The 28th clause was withdrawn, and the 29th was postponed. The 30th clause, after a long conversation, was withdrawn, as unnecessary,, and the chairman reported progress and ob tained leave to sit again on Monday, pro formd, in order to have the amendments printed. , between W. H. C- r k e , An affair of honour came off early on Monday morning, in Cambridge, and a res p ec t a bl e am t.

This meeting was arranged in consequence of the former gentleman sending a friend to demand satisfaction from the latter for some supposed imputation upon his character as a gentleman, relative to some private transaction between them. A rumour is afloat that the best precaution to, prevent danger was adopted by the respective friends of the parties.

Posterity will blame us that we have not sooner seized upon the opportunity of immortalizing what must, some 20 years hence, be viewed as -a " lusus naturte," viz., a whig mayor of Liverpool ;—the last, perhaps, which is ever likely ever, to stand well with and to gratify posterity, we must confess that we can see nothing, either in the mental or bodily graces, of the subject of our present sketch—nothing whatever beyond the fact of his occupying the civic chair — which can at all entitle him to a more prominent position Emptrtat paritanititt. HOUSE OF OF LORDS.-THURSDAY The Jews' Declaration Bill was brought up from the com mons, and read a first time. The Marquis of NORMANDY gave notice that, after the Easter recess, he would move the appointment of a select committee upon the subject of Sunday trading on canals. Mr. Armstrong, from the • office of the poor-law commis- falsification of the returns from the Clonmel union. The Earl of GLENGALL then gave notice that, after Easter, he wouldsall the attention of their lordships to the evidence which had been given at the bar upon this subject. The Population Bill was brought up from the commons, and read a first time. Josiah Misters, who was convicted, at the Shrewsbury Assizes, before Baron Gurney, of an attempt to murder Mr. Mackreth, a Ludlow, suffered the last penalty of the law at noon on Saturday last. The drop was got in complete rea diness for erection before eight o'clock on Friday evening. The wretched convict had suffered severely in mind since his condemnation. The ravages made in his frame by his men tal suffering had worn his body to a skeleton, and, though he neither uttered a sigh nor dropped a tear, he frequently, after incarceration in the condemned cell, swooned away, and it became necessary to support his sinking frame by sti mulating and nutritious food. He never, from the moment that he was led from the dock, breathed a syllable that could be construed into the most indirect admission of his guilt : on the contrary, he frequently made solemn asseverations of entire innocence. _ _ Great exertions had been made by several parties to save the life of the unhappy young man. The petitions of Mr. Mackreth, of Mr. Bird, the foreman of the jury, and of the inhabitants of Shrewsbury were forwarded to the Secretary of State on Monday last. The reply of the Marquis of Nor manby was that he would communicate with Baron Gurney on the subject. The latter and Mr. Justice Coleridge in spected the Angel Inn, at Ludlow, together, when Justice Coleridge is said to have concurred with the learned baron in believing the prisoner guilty. Mr. Ludlow, the gentle man whom, it is supposed, Misters intended to kill, has been indefatigable in his endeavours to obtain a commutation of the sentence. On the morning of Saturday Mr. Peel, the Under-sheriff, and the Governor of the Gaol were early in attendance at the Postoffice, in the hope that a despatch from the Home Office might have arrived, which would alter the aspect of the pri soner's fate. There was no communicatic-a of the nature de sired. All idea of respite was immediately abandoned, and the governor had the painful duty of announcing to the young man, that he must prepare for the change that would shortly take place. The announcement did not work any perceptible change in the convict's countenance, which had already be come pinched and angular by suffering. The scaffold was quickly erected, and, as the hour appointed - for the execution approached, a dense crowd assembled in front of the gaol. At a quarter to twelve, the first sound of the prison bell gave signal that the work of preparation had commenced. The prisoner was led forth and his arms pinioned, an opera tion which he bore with forced composure. He had slept ill during the night, having frequently started convulsively from his slumbers. At six o'clock that morning, the clergyman had exhorted him, by his hopes of eternal life, to disburden his conscience of any weight that might afflict it. Misters expressed contrition for his past sins, which, he said, had been many ; but called upon God to witness, that he had no hand in the attack on Mackreth. The prisoner's arms having been pinioned, he was led to the scaffold. When at the door of the Turnkey's lodge, which led up to the drop, the unhappy man stopped, and asked if any of the jury were present. He was answered in the negative, when he said, in a subdued tone, " Tell the jury I freely forgive them." He ascended the stairs firmly, preceded by the chaplain, till they came to a room which had been appropriated for the last spiritual consolation of the pri soner. Here the chaplain and he remained for a few minutes, which were spent in devotion. lie was then led to the scaf fold, where all being prepared, he shook hands with the turn key, and exclaimed in a firm voice, " Good-bye ! God bless you for all the kindness you have shown me." His manner, to the last, was calm, exhibiting neither unseemly bravado nor pusillanimous dejection. The signal was given and the drop fell. The convict struggled severely for about a minute and a half, and then he apparently ceased to exist. After hanging the usual time, the body was cut down, and placed in a coffin inscribed with his name and age. The multitude, which is described as having behaved with great propriety, quietly dispersed. THE ROBBERY AT WINDSOR CASTLE.-FUR THER DISCOVERIES. WINDSOR, APRIL I.—lt has just been ascertained that a large and valuable portion of the splendid marquee, well known as " Tippo Saib's Tent" (which was captured at the storming of Seringapatam, and presented to the then Sovereign of England by the Marquis Cornwallis) has been taken away from the stores at the castle, where it has been deposited for several years past. It was formerly occasion. ally used by the late Sovereigns William IV. and George IV. upon the royal excursions to Virginia Water. The last time it was in requisition (with the exception of a small por tion of it, which was lent last year to the officers of the 2d life guards) was upon the occasion of William IV. visiting the race-course at Egham, where it was erected for the royal family and attendants, who were present. Amongst various parts which are missing is the long pole which supported the roof. This was studded, and many portions of it cased, with massive silver ornaments, and the two large knobs at each end are stated to have been of solid silver. These are gone with the rest. Other portions, con taining various silver and other ornaments of great value, are also stated to be missing. From this circumstance, there can be no doubt that the system of plunder, which has just been so fortunately discovered, has been carried on for a long time past, and that more persons than the party who has absconded have been engaged in the depredations at the castle. It is reported that, during the search amongst the stores, a quantity of valuable property, of various descriptions, was discovered packed up, apparently ready for carrying away. No traces have been discovered of the movements of the party who has absconded, beyond what have been made pub lic up to the period of his arriving at the Slough station from Windsor, and from thence proceeding to town. It appears, that on his leaving the castle on the afternoon of Thursday last, and proceeding home, he asked his wife for his keys, and went up stairs, where he was engaged for some minutes: Upon coming down he folded up some cord, which was in a drawer, and put into his pocket, and then left, merely saying to his wife, as he hastily and Hurriedly went away, " Good by ; you'll never see me again." It may be considered as extraordinary, that no reward has been offered for his apprehension. DESPERATE BURGLARY AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER.— Information was yesterday received at the various metropo litan police station-houses that, on the night of Monday, a most desperate burglary and attempt at murder was com mitted at the house of Mr. Simpson, the Dirpley Arms Inn, between Burnley sand Bocup, in Lancashire. It appears, that on the night in question the house was entered by two men, who obtained access at the rear. Being heard by Mr. Simpson, he proceeded down stairs, when he was immedi ately knocked down and brutally kicked about the head and face until nearly insensible, when they took from a cupboard about £lO in gold, silver, and copper monies. Mr. Simp son's cries being heard by his son, he came down to his assis tance, when he also was instantly knocked down, and making a determined resistance, a pistol was fired by one of his assailants, the ball from which took effect in his side, and he is now lying in a dangerous state. The fellows then de camped, leaving behind them a hat and a handkerchief, and took the road to Burnley, attempting to rob two men on the road ; after which they yvere traced to Marsden, and ulti mately to within four miles of Gisbourne, where all further track was lost. One of the men is known to be named Jas. Dickenson, and the name of the other is believed to be Briggs. The first is a notorious poacher, and is dressed as a gamekeeper, and the other in a dark shooting-jacket, breeches, and gaiters. It is supposed that they purpose going to America. A irvard of £2O is offered by Mr. Simp son for their apprehension.—Morning Herald. • GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.

With the exception of 7660 quarters of Oats and 7100 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland, the arrivals of British Grain, &c, to this port during the past week have been moderate. The imports from abroad, and entered under bond, comprise 1054 quarters of Wheat. 600 quarters of Beans 9680 barrels of Flour; the latter from the United States. Throughout the week the trade, generally, has ruled dull ; the decline of 3d per bushel that occurred in Wheat on Tuesday last has not, however, been followed by any further re duction in the value of the finer qualities of that grain; but the lower descriptions of Free Foreign, and the general runs of Irish, were yesterday again Id per 781bs cheaper. Flour has also met a limited demand, and holders have latterly shown more desire to press sales; prices have rather given way. Canadian has been sold at 35s to 35s 6d ; United States free at 35s 6d to 36s per barrel. Irish extremely difficult to quit, though offered at Is to 2s per sack lower. Oats, with the little increase of supply, are Id per bushel cheaper ; 3s 4d per 451 h again the top price for mealing. Oatmeal, too, must be quoted 6d per load lower, and both articles have moved slowly. In Barley, Beans or Peas there has been little passing ; each may be be bought on rather easier terms, A cargo of Odessa Wheat has changed hands in bond at Ss 3d per 701bs, and about 1300 barrels of United States Flonr have been sold at 23s , per barrel, SATURDAY, APRIL 3.—Wind S.

Tur pentine.—The demand has fluctuated during the week, 12s 6d having been paid for 600 orls., and 12s 5d for 300 ; but the specula tive inquiries having ceased, the market is dull at 128 pey cwt. A parcel of 500 brls. of American Tar was sold at 14s 6d ; there is only one small parcel now left in first hands in the market. Montreal Pot Ashes ate rather lower, 29s having been accepted for 70 to 70 brls. of 1840 brand. Pearl Ashes very dull, but unchanged in price. Hides.—Salted Monte Video Ox and Cow are in better request, and about 4000 have been sold, chfefiy at 4id per lb. Tobacco. — The market continues quiet, the demand being confined to small lots to Manufacturers, at steady prices. During the last month 1800 hhds. were sold, of which 750 were Virginia leaf and 250 stemmed, go Kentucky leaf and 440 stemmed; of these, 600 hhds. were taken by Speculators, 540 by Irish Dealers and Manufacturers, 40 for Scotland, 180 for export, and 510 hhds. by the home-trade. Only a limited business has again been done in Brimstone, the reduced prices not appearing to cause any increased demand. The sales made in Sumac have been limited, without change in prices. Argols, of good quality, and Cream of Tartar continue in moderate demand. A few small sales have been made in Annatto, from 9d to 9id per lb. Nothing reported in any description of yellow Berries. Madders and Roots are dull ; no sales reported ; and nothing done in Quercitron Bark. The stocks of Olive Oil ill Dealers' hands being nearly exhausted, has occasioned more in quiry for common descriptions, of which there is little remaining here; the principal sales have been in Trieste, at a further advance of 20s, with small lots of Spanish, by Dealers, at previous rates, and of Galipoli at £69 to £7O per tun. Some inquiry has appeared for Cod and Seal Oil, but no business of any moment has transpired ; a few trifling lots of Cod Oil brought £25 to £25 10, off the quay. Pale Rape Oil continues steady, with a fair demand ; Linseed Oil remains firm at 3ls, although some irregular lots have been dis posed of rather lower; the Crushers here now ask 325. Oil of Turpentine still sells only in small quantities, at the annexed quo tations. About 25n tons Palm Oil have been sold, the exact price of which is not reported, and a few small sales have been made ut 1E34 ;. the prices must again be considered rather lower. The market for Baltic Hemp is still in a dull state; 430 bales of Jute realized £l4 to £l4 5s per ton. Tallow.—A little reduction in the price of Petersburg yellow Candle, and favourable accounts at the same time from the London market, induced a better demand this week, and 500 or 600 casks have changed hands, part at 45s 9d, but principally at 46s per cwt. ; the latter price also being paid for fine Odessa yellow Candle, 6d to Is advance is now required. Ou Saturday last, upwards of 360 casks South American Tallow sold by auction, at 41s to 43s 3d for the finest sorts, 38s to 40s for good strong Tallow, 36s gd to 37s 6d for very brown but firm, down to 35s for Grease. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 2. Our market is as quiet and dull as it can be, and the sales to-day will not exceed 2,000 bales of all descriptions, at simi lar prices to yesterday's. Few buyers attended the public sale of Surats, and out of 2580 bales offered only 250 were sold, at id. per lb. below previous business by private. The sales of the weekare 18,700 bales, of which 1.700 bales of American are placed to speculation account, and 1,300 of various descriptions for export. There was also forwarded into the interior unsold last month 1020 bales. We quote the prices of all descriptions id. to id. lower this week, with a flat and heavy market at the decline. COTTON MARKET, APRIL 3 At the commencement of the week the market was firm, with some speculative inquiry ; but since the arrival of the Britannia steamer on Wednesday, Speculators have generally suspended their operations ; the Manchester Trade being still depressed, and the working short time having partially commenced, though to a limited extent, the demand from Spinners has been on a moderate scale. The prices generally may be considered id lower than on Friday last ; 2586 Surat were offered by auction to.day, of which 240 sold, at the above decline. 1700 American have been taken on speculation, 700 American, 400 La Guayra and 200 Surat far Export. There have been forwarded into the country unsold during the past month 870 American, 100 Pernambnco and 288 Surat.

The demand is very limited, and consequently buyers continue to have the advantage of daily concessions, which are made in a flat market, even when our quotations remain nominally the same. The quantity sold on Saturday was 2000 bales, and to-day we write upon 2000 to 2200 of all descriptions to the trade. INSOLVENT. April I.—Thomas Garlick, Greenwich, carpenter. BANKRUPTCY ENLARGED.

On the other hand, inferior qualities are little asked for, and considerable anxiety exists on the part of holders to close sales. New grass Butter may be shortly expected to make its appearance in quantity ; such is the splendid vegetation weather which we now so happily experience. Holders of Beef and Pork appear more in clined to meet purchasers. (Accounts from America being more pacific,) and prices may be quoted a shade lower.
