We have received several files of New York papers, Th e latest dates of which Teach only to the I 1 th May. The state of affairs in the Texas continues to be ex tremely unfavourable to the American arms, and the war With the Indians in Florida lingers on, amid bluster on "ne side and cruelty on both.

Rouse o f C ommons, after a three-nights' debate, Lo ßh en ded ended on S aturday morning, decided in favour of ri t rd J ° I IN RossEL L an d ag i tation in Ireland by a majo lq THIRTY -NINE—the numbers being 300 to 261.

T he lords re kba the spoli at i on clause of last year, and ministers fit o ad °rled th e measure altogether. In the present ses tit a they h ave made another attempt to force thei r pes trential P no strum upon the coun t ry ; b ut even the House back, where th e y h ave f orty I r i sh slaves at their tau . tn 1 andlwelitv jobbin g S co t c h men i n t h eir pay, and a 141, 1 1/ e of dozen at t h e least of needy hangers-on and iait o .4 " ; lings in th e public offices, can only b e b a d gere d •4/IPattry,rnaiority of THIRTY-NINE! '.4.'l en d ' 4 odds in their favour, composed as it is al- most entirely of the joints of the tail, is Convincing. proof that the heart of England, of the English members, and the people of England, is sound on the subject of -reli gion and in defence of our national church. The pre sent bill ‘Vill fail as did the former. one. If it do not die a natural death in the commons it will be pulled to pieces in the lordS; so that the session will end without minis ters being enabled to pass any of their leading measures, or accomplish any of their revolutionary designs. But can this state of things be much longer endured ? Is it desirable that these ministerial and legislative dis tractionS should be prolonged ? Here we have a cabinet exercising all the patronage of the country for its own factious ends—jobbing the public money with a truly beral and bountiful hand—procuring the services of three-fourths of all the lawyerS in the kingdom by cor rupt means—and yet the cabinet is so weak that it can not contrive by any means to gain a commanding posi tion in the country. It is weak in the coniniOnS, it is despised at court, it is laughed at amongst the higher classes, and in the lords it is not only feeble and con temptible, but it has not three peers of any pretensions to intelligence, oratory, or the ordinary powers of debate, to rise up in its defence. Such a ministry never was seen in England since a rogue in a cap and bells was the wit of the court and the favourite of the monarch. How they can look each other in the face, knowing the general opinion that is entertained of them, is quite beyond our comprehension. Perhaps they imagine that with the as sistance of the tail they can lash England during their good will and pleasure, and that although the lords can prevent them from doing mischief, they cannot interdict them from drawing their salaries on quarter-day. Never mind. The clay of reckoning is drawing near. The miserable majority of THIRTY-NINE is satisfactory in the highest degree, for it proves that where the Church of England is concerned there are numbers who dare not vote `in favour of its enemies be they ever so much dis posed. Ministers carried the Irish municipal bill in op position to Lord FRANCIS EGERTON'S amendment by a majority of sixty-one. Where is that majority now? Every exertion was made—the fate of the ministry de pended upon it —every hole and corner was searched— every dependent was whipped up—but the vile tail after all formed the majority. This, we say, is a victory. Con sidering a ll t h e c i rcumstances, no m i n i ster of any pride or nice sense of honour would remain a single second in office after such a demonstration. It has been reserved to a RUSSELL to bring the boasted spirit and chivalric sen sitiveness of the whigs into ridicule and obloquy. He and his party once claimed the romantic title of patriots; now they are only despised placemen. "Pay" is their motto—their religion is patronage—their country is the home office—their valour is confined to hostile invasions of a domestic nature—and on the ocean, under the flag that has braved a thousand years, their last victory was a robbery, their hero a fool, their boasted philanthropy an invented lie, and the whole transaction culpable and dis graceful. We heartily congratulate the mercantile and shipping interests of Liverpool on the signal success which the justice of their cause has obtained over the aspiring and dictatorial monopolists of the town council. We have no wish to increase their vexation by indulging in any loud tone of triumph, being convinced that a simple statement of the facts will satisfy all the parties concerned that the committee, by their several decisions adverse to the cor poration, have best consulted the good government of Liverpool, and the prosperity of its inhabitants. There are several reasons why the reformed town council are desirous of having the management of the duck estate, the dock police, and of course the dock reve nues, in their own hands. It is stated that the already embarrassed situation of the corporation, caused by their innumerable and expensive changes, by the appointment of new and unnecessary officers, by wasting .EI3OO a-year upon a stipendiary magistrate, by a more costly police, and by the unexpected and compulsory compensation given to retired servants of the corporation—in short, by jobbing of various kinds, only since January last, the re formed corporation of Liverpool is as near under water as a concern whose expenditure equals, if not exceeds, its income can possibly be. We speak by the card whets we say, (and we beg the creditors to mark our words,) if the council conduct themselves for the next six months as they have done for the last six months—if thee evince the same wanton disregard of economy, the same indifference to impartial dealing, the same profligacy in the distribution of their patronage, and the same foolish and factious haste in removing one class of servants and substituting another—nothing on earth can save the cor poration from insolvency ! Under these peculiar circumstances we were not sur prised to see our municipal functionaries anxious to pos sess themselves of the exclusive management of the dock estate ; and had they come before the public with the real motives, and pleaded their extreme poverty, it is more than probable that the burgesses at large would have shown a deeper sympathy in their favour. But, instead of the open and candid way of accomplishing their object, they had recourse to their old arts of mystification, endea vouring to show that, as the corporation was reformed, the dock estate ought not to be reformed. Some of the Solons amongst them tried to convince us that a tailor in the London-road, occupying a £2O house, and having paid the rent and taxes of the same fOr three years—all the other years of his life having been spent in an attic in London—had just as good a right to vote for a dock trustee as any merchant paying £2OOO a-year to the estate! This absurdity—this monstrous injustice—was stoutly maintained by the leading orators of the Town hall ; and it was upon this impudent dogma that the council took their stand. They openly and shamelessly threw their former opinions overboard—they recalled the protestations of twenty years—they scouted their own principle, viz., that those, and those only, who pay taxes should have the nomination and control of the imposer or administrator of such taxes—in short, inflated pride, na tural arrogance, and insatiable ambition, not only made them inconsistent, but glaringly unjust. The rate payers and the corporation being thus at variance upon a plain and popular principle both parties appealed to parliament. A bill 'was brought in by the former, and opposed by the latter. The select committee, Lord FRANCIS EGERTON being the chairman, after hear ing counsel and examining witnesses, declared the preamble proved, and on Thursday the great struggle took place upon the question, " in whom the right of electing trustees should be vested ?" The corporation were in favour of the municipal voters, their opponents wished to confine it to the ratepayers. Upon this a long and even warm discussion took place, but it was at length decided by 35 to 31, that the right of election should be in the dock rate-payers only ! Beaten on this important point the corporation moved an adjournment of the committee from Thursday to Monday (yesterday) which was opposed, the committee again dividing, when it appeared that the majority re fused to adjourn. The proceedings were recommenced on Friday, on which day anothor most important clause was decided against the municipals. It was this. The liberal and reformed corporation were desirous that the whole twenty-four managers of the Dock estate should be chosen from the aldermen and councillors. These re formers wished to have the privilege of self election, but this being denied on Thursday, they still contended for all the power that remained -to be conferred. The rate- payers were willing to consent to elect twelve of their managers from the common council, from those members of it otherwise eligible as rate-payers; but this fair con cession the corporation would not accept, and the com mittee again divided, when the prnposition of the rate- payers was carried by a larger majority than before. By this decision the corporation will i❑ future have no con- :rout over the dock estate. Twelve of its aldermen or councillors must be trustees, so long as it has twelve who are eligible, but these must be elected by the tate-payers. In conclusion we have only to say; that every propo sition which was submitted by the rate-payers was Cat tied by the committee, while every one Moved by the corporation was rejected. Yesterday the police question was to have come on, the corporation being desito6g to unite or amalgamate the dock and town 'Tftis will be opposed, and as some think defeated. It is THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. of little consequence whiCh way it goes ; the corporation are now powerless. The " tyrant majority" have again exerted their sacrilegious strength, and the House of Commons once more preSents itself to the public as a body whose feel ings are opposed to truth and justice. Our readers will at once perceive that our allusion is to the recent dis cussion on the tithe question as it regards Ireland. We should be offering too studied an insult to the reflecting and clear-sighted portion of this mighty land were we to tell them that sound, argument, unsophisticated reason, Unbounded talent, a possession of large property, and an unflinching love of-justice, characterized those who were in the minority of Friday night. It is useless any longer to attempt to conceal from the eyes of the public a fact, of which we have already in some measure apprised them, and of the sad reality of which we have been long convinced—lßELAND MUST BE RE-CONQUER. ED ! It is useless to attempt mild measures when the patient is in a state of maddened and desperate fury. Ireland has too long occupied the time, abused the sym pathy, trifled with the feelings, and wasted the money, of the people of England. John Bull is a very good tempered and easy sort of man, but there is a point beyond which he cannot and will not go. He will sacri fice his personal vanity, forego his private gratifications, submit to personal indignities, brook the scorn and con tumely of one whom he had hitherto considered as a friend—he will do all this and much more ;—but he will not consent to see the church of his fathers trampled under foot; he will not look calmly on whilethe enemies of his religion slight his most sacred predilections and do violence to his most matured, and cherished feelings. An Englishman is not in the habit of suddenly acting upon hasty impulse—lie loves not to charge his fellow creature with insincerity ; and it is with reludance he can be brought to believe that this empire is threatened with danger from the increasing aggressions -of popery: He recollects that it was the firm and determined spirit of Britons which crushed the hideous monster of papal formation—he recollects that England has long been the mistress of the sea, and that her constitution in its three estates has long been the admiration of the political world—he cannot therefore readily bring himself to imagine that the blood which animated his forefathers has disappeared from the land, and that the spirit by which they were actuated has died an ignominious death, leaving no traces of its existence, and that its place is now occupied by a love of change, hatred of truth; and an apathy to all that is honourable, good,.and just. Still these things will be so, unless Englishmen arouse them selves in time to a due sense of the impending dangers which threaten the peace and happiness of this once great and religious land. It is no idle dream which tells of the inroads that popish disaffection is making upon the time-honoured protestantistn of the empire. Sound protestant zeal has given way to apathy, and indifference to all religions has been replaced by a frenzied devotion to the most superstitious and degraded form in' which it has ever been attempted to set christianity before the world. He speaks not in the language of fabulous story, who warns the people of these realms to be on their guard, and never to lose sight of the important fact, that all the glories which ever dawned upon Britain have lent their cheering and exciting influence, when the sun of protestantism has been in noon-day ascendancy, and that the only periods when the destinies of Britain have appeared as though a cloud overhung them have been times when the nation ,has forgot to honour GOD, and by some public act has withdrawn from Him the acknowledgements of their dependance on his power which were so pre-eminently His due ! Reflections such as those which precede must eventu ally suggest themselves to the minds of every one anxi ous for the continued happiness of his country, on seeing that late on Friday evening, or rather early on Saturday morning last, the House of Commons, by a majority of 39, virtually declared that POPERY should be the domi nant religion in Ireland —that the holy influences of bible christianity should be replaced by the degrading mum meries of Rotnish idolatry —that the advice of the clergy man should give way to the tyranny of the priest—the sanctity of worship be displaced for the foppery and parade of priestcraft—the holy interchange of christian feeling he bartered for the gross impurities of the confessional— in one word, that Ireland now, and England eventually, should again lend their aid to form the choicest flower in the Pope's triple crown. The scheme of church robbery, under the name of the appropriation clause, has again received the sanction of the lower (in more senses than one) branch of the legis lature. A majority of the representative house have again set their hands to a dad of sacrilege and affixed their seals to a measure having for its object the legal butchery of protestants and the unrestrained supremacy of the papists. It mattered not that Lord STANLEY placed the whole matter in a clear and lucid view—it was of small importance that Lord JOHN RUSSELL shrunk from the encounter, like a miserable dog conscious of having committed a fault, and writhing under merited punishment—" We have the votes was the senseless and infatuated cry of the band of treason-mongers and sedition -vend ors — an d , though an angel from heaven had intervened t o s t a y them fr om t h e i r i mpious intent, it would all have been of no avail. Truth, reason, national hopes and national fears, honourable predilections and justice, were on the one side ; falsehood, sophistry, con tinental jesuitry, Romish fraud, a base and dirty pelf, and iniquity, were on the other; but, as is often the case in this world, the latter cause triumphed. They who bowed the knee to Baal were more in number than those who loved righteousness, and the followers of Alammon were mightier and more powerful than the vindicators of Gon's honour. We repeat it : an impious faction have again done violence to our religion and desecrated the faith of our ancestors. A band of perjured papists, led on by a perjured Irish rebel, have once more stifled the voice of the representatives of England. We use these words advisedly. We congratulate the people of Eng land on the fact that a majority of their representatives-- a clear majority of English members—voted against-this impious scheme of sacrilege ; and are we, the pro testant people of protestant England —are we, the fa voured people of the most important section of the em pire —are we to be bullied and trampled upon by a low set of Irish adventurers and needy Scotch waiters on Providence ? Out upon the thought ! These things must not, can not, shall not be. The ministerial journals now threaten a dissolution. We trust they will not be slow to give us another appeal to the electoral constituency of the three kingdoms. We, the conservatives, the protestants of England, are pre pared. We are prepared to show that there is a sym pathy on our parts, with. the nobleness of feeling, and high christian purpose—which so pre-eminently distin• guish the character of the nobles of the land. The peers of the realm have ere this stood in the, gap between this country and anarchical fury—they have staid and ener vated the upraised arm of rebellious treason--and they will not be wanting, if duty calls upon them ; to do so again. But will our sense of justice allow them to fight the battle single-handed —shall we throw all the brunt Of the battle and all the toil of the encounter upon those high spirited men, and not with them share alike the danger and the glory ? No, no; we must and will have a House of Commons which will remind us of the palmy days of British history—which will call to our mind eloquence in the senate, uprightness and honesty in the statesman, and a total absence of mere factious oppo sition. The peers of England —a noble and generous body—must be practically informed of the fact, that the people of England are with them, and view with anxious solicitude the result of their courageous stand against the ill-conditioned violence of designing men ; who are, by artifice, fraud, and perjury, enabled to write M.P. after their names. The decision to which the House of Commons came on Saturday morning was arrived at, at the close of a debate which had been protracted through three succes sive evenings. To describe the" speechea of Lord STAN LEY and Sir R. PEEL as master-pieces of eloquence and sound reasoning would be to Convey but a very meagre and slight idea of their effect and character. Would that Soilic artist had been in the tion4e . on Wednes'day even ing,: Wtrat picture of htimiliatitai deraluti'ort and conscious weakness, associated with guilty acqUiescence in acknowledged criminality, did the countenance of Lord JOHN RussELL present on that occasion ! There he stood on the floor of the House of Commons professedly the servant of the King—in reality the slave of the traducer of the women of England. There he stood a picture of dismay and imbecility. Scarcely had the house recovered from the electric shock of Lord STAN LEY'S brilliant vindication of protestautsm and his bold unmasking of the hideous features of popery, when there stood, in a state of utter helplessness and pitiful insigni ficance, the Secretary of State for tke Home Depart ment, the manikin midwife of the reform bill. Miserable too was the figure cut by poor Pontius Pilate MORPETH ; and as to knowledge —gauge RICE, we wishnothing more than that his Cambridge constituents shad seen him writhing under the masterly and searching sarcasm of Sir R. PEEL. But we must return on sonic fware oc casion to this subject. In the mean while our consola tion is, that the House of Commons are not yet the government of England. This land is threatened with many and great dangers, and our hope is, humanly speaking, iu the HOUSE OF LORDS. A BLOW-OUT FOR THE IRISH BEGGAR! Last evening, in accordance with public placards of attrac tive dimensions, and advertisements in the papers of the town, the " Friends of Reform" held a meeting in the Shooting Gal lery, Tarleton-street, " for the purpose of adopting immediate measures to raise a FUND to defray the political expenses to which Mr. Daniel O'Connell has been subjected.', At seven o'clock about twenty of the leaders of the whig-radical faction presented themselves on a raised platform at the upper end of the room, amongst whom we observed Mr. William Rathbone, of course,• Mr. James Branker, the expectant Lveurgus of Li verpool, that extremely wise gentleman, Mr. Lawrence Hey worth, our friend; Councillor Egerton, the orator of the tub, Mr. Councillor (oglan, Mr. Councillor Shiel, Mr. James Mul linetlx, Mr. Godfrey Barnsley; et hoc genus omne. The au dience at this time, exclusive of the distinguished personages on the platform, who constituted the aristocracy of the meeting, and who kept themselves most scrupulously aloof and not with out som e pungent reason, consisted of fifty-three gentlemen and three bull-dogs, who, with their equally intelligent masters had come to see the fun, boasting amongst them thirty-nine hats, about a dozen of which were minus the crown - (the late hot wea ther might be an excuse for this convenience). We will not at tenapt.to describe the rest of their " outward men", for—it is indiscribable. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Lawrence Hepworth rose to propose Mr. James Brancker to the chair, and in doing so, said, he felt bound to support Mr. Daniel O'Connell, for had he not fought the noble battle of mu nicipal reform; he ( Mr. L Heyworth) would not have beeu a councillor. ("Huzza".) Mr. JAMES BRANCKER then took the chair. lie said (think ing of the shooting gallery) Mr. O'Connell had been the mark which had been shot at by the tories, and they had now hit the " bull's eye," and they were in duty bound to hold up a shield to protect him. Every man ought to give Dan a groat. ( Hurra.) Mr. Wu. RATHBONE, in moving the first resolution, said they were bound to du something for the Irish nation, of which Mr. O'Connell was the representative. ( Hurra, and loud cries of'` order," "order," from the chairman.) Mr. Ratliboue then, evidently with some doubt in his own mind that this was vox preterea nihil, begged they would show their compassion and sympathy for "that martyr to his country's cause" to some mo ment, and show that their hearts laid in their pockets. He con cluded with moving; a resolution. that th a t mee t ing d u l y esteeme d the unflinching advocacy of Mr. Dan!. O'Connell of civil and re ligious liberty, and entertained a deep sense of the important services he' had rendered to the cause of reform in England and Ireland, and hoping that those services would nut be allowed to prove a serious loss to himself. (Hurra.) Mr.GODFIIEY BA nNsLuy,who was introduced by the chairman as " Friend Godfrey," now rose and was greeted with up roarious cheering, the candidate for the representation of Liver pool loudly crying " Arder, order." At length " order" was restored and Mr. Godfrey Barnsley, having designated the House of Lords as a " bow-wow-inong,ering, oligarchy," con cluded by seconding the resolution, amidst immense and up- , roarious cheering. t Mr. JAMES MULLINEUX now rose and said he was indebted to Mr. O'Connell for the " order" to which he now belonged. He should not be doing credit to his "order" if he did not sup port Mr. Daniel O'Connell. He concluded with moving that a subscription he opened for the purpose of defrayin ,, the ex ' penses to which Mr. O'Connell had been put. (" fiurra•") A Mr. MusPavr, or Mr. MUST -PRATTLE, seconded the mo tion, which was supported by en operative named SMITH, who said he represented the workmen of Liverpool, nay, he might say all England and Ireland, (not the world,) and he was delegated to support the motion. (" Hurra," and " Arder, arder" from the chairman.) He was a radical reformer and advocated the throwing overboard of all distinctions (Mr. Smith stood on the platform.) (" Hurra.") Mr. Councillor COGLA N rose to inure the next resolution which forcibly reminded us of the relation of the exploits of the mighty Thomas Thumb; it was magnificently grandiloquent. He felt that on the present occasion it was a duty binding on every friend of his country and of the human race not to shiink publicly to express his sentiments in a cause in which they were all so deeply interested. Mr. O'Connell's cause was the cause of the British empire—it was the cause of every advo cate of human happiness, of philanthropy, of patriotism, and of justice!! ! (Hurra.) He concluded with moving a commit tee to carry the objects of the foregoing resolutions into effect, of which Mr. \Vm. Thornhill was to be the secretary. VI.. EGERTON SMITH rose to second the resolution, and dealt most unmerciful blows on us of the Standard, the gist of which, however, did not seem to be fully comprehended by - the Meeting, but seemed— " Their minds unmoved and unconcern'd to lull, And was at best most singularly dull. " for having, we suppose, dared to express an opinion that Daniel was "the most incomprehensible of all incomprehensible vaga bonds." Friend Egerton then gave his yarn a twist round the neck of Mr. Talbot Glascock (the announcement of whose name quite tickled their fancy, and was received with uproarious ap plause by the meeting) for daring to petition against the return of Daniel for his new " snuggery" of Kilkenny, and concluded with telling his hearers that he had an oaken box in his office with a slit in the top which would just do to put penny pieces in, and that it would do admirably to stand in his office to for ward the purposes of the subscription. The chairman then with peculiar elegance of expression complimented Mr. Smith on the eloquent manner in which he had dealt with an extremely brittle subject—Mr. Glagcock, and announced that the business of the meeting had terminated. One or two patriots, " big with speech," then treated the meeting to their extempore strains, and the gentlemen separated, by this time about one hundred persons having assenabl,ed, ex clusive of the aristocracy. LIVERPOOL POLICE. FEMALE QUARREI.S.—On Friday, at the Police-office, an Irishwoman and her daughter, named Jardine alias Brogan, appeared pefore the magistrates, ( William Ripley and Edward Cropper, Esqrs.) to complain of an assault committed on her by a Welch woman and her daughter, neighbours of hers, the (Cry before. The parties came quarrelling into court, and both complainant and defendant addressed the magistrates at once; after some difficulty they were silenced, and placed at opposite sides of the court. The complainant then, addressing the bench said, " Plase yer worships, that woman come to my place yes terday when myself was at home, an' tould me she had come to complain against my doghter. Well, says I, what is it, says I?" " Your doghter," says she, " has put her finger up this way," says she " to my doghter," puttin' her thumb to her nose , and stretchn' out her fingers this way, savin' yer honours' pre since. (The complainant suited the action to the word, amidst the loud laughter of the Court.) " Your doghter is as bad," says doghter is t s h a e ys h l o , ne u st a , n a , n e d an r t ' e t o h n e ic h u a p rd to w h o e rk r, i , t!' s a ay n s ' 1 1 h . e d " oce l n y t I. " the stare purtier doghter is there this side Dublin," says I. "By the beauty . o' man," sis she, " that's all I wanted," sis she, an' jist as td was shtrikin' four o'clock, yer halters, she fell peggin' me, an' her doghter came ;in' helped her. An' didn't they hate me shameful entirely, and knocked me down flat as a griddle? I was not the man for the both of them, but returned what I could of coorse." One of the magistrates re marked that her face did not appear to be very touch scratched as if she had been very ill used. Complainant " No, Yes honer, I shweated it off." (Laughter.) A witness deposed to the parties striking one another. The defendant in extenua tion said, " On Suntay tat lady's toter , come pas or windy, and put up her finger to my toter, and says, " what pisness you to luk at me." So I went to make complaint apout it, and she apused and struck me. And pecause I have got an unfortu nate son who has got seven years, they meet me at every corner and say i have raised a transport ; and spit in my face and call plack names, which I can pring witness to prove, and call my taaghter a vagapont. We lifuapers, and it is' not convenient to me or I would leave to naperhoot pefore I would pe troupled with, her. . For she nefer pits my tour put she put up her finger and clap her hands onefery part of her, and I nefer mislest hee, for I can't apide to look at her." The magistrates said there was no choosing between them, they were one as bad as the other, and unless they chose to conduct themselves pro perly, he should make both of them find hail. The belligerents having mutually promised to do this the charge was dismissed. STEALING FROM A CHAPEL —On Friday, at the Police office, a young man of rather respectable appearance, named James Dunn, was brought before the magistrates, charged with having stolen a number of hymn books and bibles from • George's-street chapel the night before. Ftom the evidence of David Edwards the chapel keeper, it appeared that the night before, after service had been heard in the chapel, the singers were practising, and the prisoner remained in the chapel apparently listening to them. lie observed him for some time, till at length be moved, to come out, and he told hint he.must go out the front way and not by the back door to which he was going; as he turned to do so be lost a book down, which he (the chapel keeper) picked up and asked if it was his. He replied it was his, and thanked him for picking it up and then went out. He suspected that it was not, and went after hint and asked him to let him look at the book again, when he said, e Oh, I can't now," and ran away. He shouted to have him stopped, and he was apprehended, and on searching him be found three hymn books on him. He was then taken to Bride well, where four more books were found upon him. A gentle man named Lacy identified two of the books as his. and also the other two as belonging to a gentleman named Thompson, who sat in the same seat. The prisoner in defence said, he had come from Ireland a fortnight before to seek for employment, and had spent all his money. He had not eaten anything for t wo days befor e , and had pawned all his clothes, except those he had on, and had even pawned his waistcoat off his back, and seeing the books spread`before him, he took them to get some thing to eat with . T he magistrates said he must answer the charge at the sessions, and the informations fur his co.nuait ment were ordered to be taken. INduEsis.---On• Friday afternoon an inquest Was held at the Court-house before P. F. Curry, Esq., coroner; on the body of a female infant child, which was found dead in Williamson. street, at the top of Great Howard-street. on Wednesday. From its size' it-appeared to be about two months old. The body was in such a deCompilsed state that it wa's impossible to ascertain by what means it had come by its death. Verdict, found dead. —o'd the same afternoon another inquest was held before P. F. Cur 42 Eq., on the body of a male infant child Which Was found deadm Boundary -lane the day befdie.

Notwithstanding the unfavour able state of the weather, several hundred persons were. in the gardens. Shortly after nine o'clock some capital sky-rockets and several very beautiful pieces of fire-works were let off. Tile exhibition was necessarily imperfect as it was found iinprac licable to discharge the larger and most splendid of the prepar ations. Should the weather be at all favourable this evening, the display of fire-works will exceed any thing ever seen iu this place before. NEW BAPTIST CHEPEL, Sono-sTnEET.—The first stone of this place of public worship was laid on Monday, the 30th ult. The building, which is to of the Grecian order. is raised by public subscription, and intended for the Rev. Moses Fisher, late pastor of Byrmu-street chapel. The work is carried on under the superintendence of Messrs. Shotwell and Smith, architects, of this town, and is expected to be completed about the close of the present year. RAILWAY TUNNEL.—The tunnel extending_ from beyond the railway stati on a t C rown - s t ree t . to t h e. New Haymarket, is ex pected to be open for passengers about the Ist of July next. NORTON v. LORD MELBOURNE.—In the Court. of Common Pleas, on Friday, Mr.. Bayley moved the court on the part of the piaintiff, the Hon. Mr. Norton, for a rule calling . on the defendant to show ease why a commission should nut issue to examine a witness at present resident in Ireland, whose testi mony, it was sworn, was most material and important to the plaintiff's case. : The ie.:tried counsel added that the cause was set down for trial at the sittings after terra, and, 'consequently, it was desirable that as little delay as possible should take place. He trusted, therefore, that, as the parties and their at torneys were all resident in London and its neighbourhood, the court would grant a rule, returnable in four days. The Lord Chief Justice :—" You may take a rule for Monday next, so that cans ermiy be shown on Tuesday morning. ST. PAUL'S .SCHOOLS CHARITY SERMON.—The collection made at St. Paul's Church, after an excellent sermon by the Rev. J. H. Stafford, on Sunday morning .ainounted to nearly twenty-seven pounds. The Mayor was present, but unattended by any other member of the body corporate except Mr. Deputy town-clerk Crook, who accompanied his worship. THE THEATRE.—Last night Mr. Power took his benefit, being the Nit night of his performance in Liverpool. The rnu7 sical drama, written by Mr. Power, of O'Flaunigan and the Fairies," followed by the musical farce of "The Review," and concluding with the drama of " Monsieur Jacques," were re presented. The performances introduced to. the Liverpool Wine Mr. Harley, of the Theatre-royal, Drury.laue, and Mr. Morris Barnett, of Mr. Braham's theatre, who is au author actor. We understand they are engaged for a fortuight. We have only space to add, that the house was a bumper, and -Mr. Power's Irishisrus were applauded to the echo. Excliesios TO THE LAKES.—We understand that it is the intention, of the proprietors of the steam packet, " Winder mere," to ply regularly during the summer months between Ulversten and Lancaster. The accommodations are of. the first description, and every attention is paid to the comfort of the passengers. An opportunity is thus afforded to visit the celebrated lakes of Cumberland at a very trifling expense. It will be seen by an advertisement in our paper to-day, that Mr. Hughes, the proprietor of the Bee Hotel, Abergele, has iu addition to his pre sen t es t a bli s h ment, entere d upon the ;Albion Hotel, Bangor, which he is determined to conduct with the same regard to the comfort and convenience of his visiters, as has hitherto secured fur him su deserved a reputation with the pnblit. IN FORMA TIONS.—On Saturday last, at the Police-office, there were no less than 34 (!) informations brought before .the magis trates against the publicans, car-drivers, and for obstructions, &c. Liverpool certainly now merits the title of being a well infiontedtown. INQUEST.—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Sessions'- house, before P F. Curry, Esq., coroner, on the body of a sailor belonging the Othello, lying in Prince's Dock, named John Welch, who was drowned the night before in the dock, havinZ fallen in whilst going on board From the evidence of one of his shipmates, it appeared that he was intoxicated, and fell over bocrd. He, along with a policeman, endeavoured immediately to get him out, but nearly ten minutes had elapsed before they succeeded. When taken out, life was .extinct.—Verdict, acci dente' death. SOUTH Essxx ELECTION.—The election of a successor to the to W. Hall Dare, Esq., one of the members of parliament for e southeru division of the county of Essex, commenced on Thursday last at Chelmsford. The candidates put in nomina tion were G. Palmer, Esq., a conservative, and C. Brantill, Esq., a radical, or gentleman of " liberal opiuimis." The show of hands being in favour of the liberal, a poll was demanded on the part of Mr. Palmer, which commenced yesterday - morning. NEWTON RACES.—These celebrated races which are every year becoming more celebrated, will commence on Monday next, the Bth instant, they are likely this year to be more than usually attractive. We hear that upwards of 100 horses are there present, including General Chasse, Queen of TruMps, heritor, with a number of other crack horses; there is also to be an extra day's riding this year, they will be continued on So , turday, which is likely to be as attractive as any of the other race days. On Saturday, we understand, there is to be a handi cap sweepstakes of three sovereigns, with 70 sovs. added. The Ilokee,Pokee stakes of 3 sovs, each, with 40 sovs, added to the winner, and 10 sovs. to the second horse ; and also a trotting race, which is to be a sweepstakes of 10 sacs. each with 100 sovs. added. The course is in grand order, and great prepara tions are making on the common for the accommodation of the public', and from the great facility the railway affords, the races, we understand, are likely this year to be more numerously at tended than ever before since they commenced. LAUNCH OF A STEAMER.—On Tuesday last, the Royal William, a steamer built for the City of. Diffilin Company, was hunched from the building-yard of Messrs. .Wilson, at the north end of the town. A s s h e g lid e d altnost ,imperceptibly upon the bosom of N e pt u n e , s h e ex hibi te d a splendid specimen of the present style of naval architecture, which reflects great credit on the talented builders. Her burthen, we understand.• is 570 tons; and she will be propelled by two engines of 130 horse power each, fr om th e well known manufactory of Mess..s. Fawcett and Preston. Mrs. W. E. Prenten performed toe baptismal ceremony; after which, a select number of ladies and gentlemen who had been invited to witness the launch, retired and partook of a cold collation, when success to the Royal William was drunk with applause. The Royal William is the first of a series of four steamers ,which are now in pro ' gress of building for the City of Dublin" Company. APPREHENSION OF A MURDERER.-0t) Friday last a person called upon Mr. Parlour, at the Police-uffice, and gave him information, that a man named I3ergan Murphy had committed a most atrocious murder, on the person- of James Wedon, on the night of the 12th ult., at Trim, in the county of Meath, Ireland. The murderer was supposed to have fled to Dublin or Liverpool, for the purpose of embarking for America. A nln nute description of his person having been given, Mr. Parlour despatched police-officers James Ainsworth and Flockhart to hunt him out. 'lt was.soon found, that a person, answering the description, had taken. his passage for Quebec, in the Kingston, which vessel was to sail on Saturday. Shortly afterwards the above officers met the delinquent,. walking on the quay of the Waterloo Docks when they at once took him into custody. He was searched in the Bridewell, and twelve sovereigns and forty four dollars, together v.ith a watch and some other articles, were found in his possession. The prisoner bad taken his passage in the name of Bergen Murphy, B ACING MATCH FOR £200.-011 Wednesday last a match for 200 soya., which has excited a good deal of talk amongst the racing community of South Lancashire, came off at the Aintree rice course, between the celebrated horses L aur i e T o dd and Percy, for 100 sovereigns a-side. A large •concourse of persons assembled on the occasion, among whom we noticed the princi pal betting men of Manchester and the.interinediate towns. The stands were filled, and the anticipations of a sporting treat appeared sanguine on the part of their occupiers. Both horses, on being brought on the course, appeared in excellent• 'condi tion ; and the excitement of the contest caused much money to change hands. The start was a fair one; and the betting, which did vary to the last, was 7 . to 4 against Laurie. Percy made the runnin g severely, and maintained the lead till within a few lengths of home, when Laurie Todd succeeded in gaining upon him, got a-head, and won with some difficulty, after a well contested race. We understand that several Other matches are oh the tapis. • On Friday, Mary Ann Graham, who was found guilty on Monday lasi of the wilful murder of her new 7 horp child, was brought,from the workhouse, wh ere s h e h as since been in n very weak state, to the Session's-house, when the, enroner issued his warrant for her commitment to take her trial for the offence, on the. verdict of the jury. She has been iu such a weak state that she could not before be, removed. She had to he supported in her chair whilst before the coroner, and . appeared much dis tressed. THE NEW FISH Comr,iNv.—The Liverpool and Manchester Fish Company opened their wholesale market, top of James street, (late Bullin's distillery,) on Tuesday niornini.s lust. The stock was abundant, the prices moderate, and the sale quick. This establishment is upon the same principle as that of Bii linsgate, in London, and condUcted by an - able manager from that place. The Company have already afloat eight .( welled) smacks of GO tons each, and, front their arrangements, can ensure a supply of fine live fish, well assorted, for every morn ings market. The Liverpool Fish Company opened their market, on Friday, in the old Zion Chapel, 'Murray-street, with a fine cargo of fish, an d met w i t h lib era l patronage M the sale of the comm o dity. Th e mar k et i s we l l regu l ate d, and most appropriately .fitted up. We foresee that the establishment of these fish companies will prove of public utility, inasmuch as they have a l rea dy great l y re d uce d ,t h e pr i c e of flab to the consumer. ------- Km:DALEAnTER SESSIONS.--We understand that owing to the great diminution of business at these sessions, in consequence of the grant of borough sessions to Liverpool, the jurisdiction of which court includes Toxteth Park, Everton, and great part of West Derby, the Magistrates, at the last quarter sessions held at Kirkdale, made the following court order, altering the day for the commencement of the quarter "sessions at that place in future to "the Thursday next before the present time of holding such sessions." We hear that it is likely that have a similar grant of b oroug h Wigan will shortly sessions, when the business of the Kirkdale sessions will be reduced to that from Prescot, Leigh, Warrington and their neiohbourhoods. As the new Poor Law Act has very materially lessened the number of appeals in cases of paupers' settlements, it Is ex pected that the business at the Kirkdale sessions. which h as hi t h er to occupied a week, will be g ot through' in two or three Thursday, Friday, an d Saturday previous to the days, viz., the present times of holding the ses sions. - --Alcinclieste r Guardian, A HINT TO JOCK CAMPBELL.

The long ' agitated question of Church Patronage was disposed of in a very decided manner by the Gen era l A ssem blY of Scot land, on Illonda IP. In a hou se cons i s ti ng o f 391 mem b ers, only ninety voted in support of the motion of Dr. Thomson, " that Patronage was a grievance, and ought to be abolished." EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT AT Si ICI DEIN . I3 cm it N.-0 1j day evening, as some workmen we c i e e a s r r e u t l ujn th in e g b a e l d on o g' Wall from the boats employed in r t he river, they observed two young gentlemen in earnest conversation standing on the edge of the quay. In a few moments they heard a fall and splash in the water, and on coming to the spot saw two hats floating. Three of the men, with that reckless bravery which is the distinguishing characteristic of our countrymen, immediately leaped in, and succeeded in I escuing These infatuated persons from a watery grave. By the immediate use of the. ne cessary means of restoration, and the unremitting attentions of Dr Smith, who was fortunately near the scene ofthisunhaPPV occurrence, they were eventually restored to animation, and, we Hope, to a due sense of the enormity of the crime they i'e're - so near committing. We understand the cause of this rash 'at . tempt was the departure front town of two young ladies, to whom they have been attached. One otthose gentlemen is, we understand. a M r.

The 'ad vantages afforded by this locality- as to its central situation, With regard to growing districts, and also the facilities of ennveyqiice to Leeds, Bradford, and other manufaCturing towns, will, we doubt not, ensure to Selby a large and increasing Market fur the Staple commodity of this district.
