GENTLEMEN, AFTER a period of seven years devoted t o y our service and that of my fellow. townsmen, as one of your representatives in the Council, I do not think that, in soliciting a renewal of your confidence, it will be necessary for me to refer to my principles generally, or to the opinions which I entertain upon local subjects. Both are well known to you all; and entertaining them sincerely as I do, I shall continue to hold them, whether in a public or a private station. The same long connexion with this constituency I trust will also relieve me from the necessity of making any further professions for the future beyond conveying to you the assurance that it shall be, as it ever has been, my study to do my duty to the utmost of my ability to all, without fear and without favour. It is not now, you are aware, a mere honour which is con ferred by election to the office which I again seek, but one of severe and trying labour, as I have myself expe:rieneed for the past few years, in the share which I have taken in endeavouring to carry out the provisions of the Sanatory Act. Thatimpor- Cant measure has provided ample work for the Council. and especially for the Health Committee, of which I am at present an humble member. It will be my earnest desire to labour energetically in the further progress of this, and every other measure by which the happiness and the social and moral itn-. provement of my fellow-countrymen can be promoted. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient Servant, JAMES PARKER. 111, Islington, October 11, 1847. TO THE ELECTORS OF SCOTLAND WARD. GENTLEMEN, HAVING received a requisition, signed by an in fluential portion of the Electors of your Ward, requesting me to offer myself as a CAN to represent your interests in the Town Council, at the ensuing Mu►acipal Election, I have great pleasure in accepting it, and at onte place myself in your hands. I think it is of the greatest importance that you should well consider the large income the Corporate Body have under their controul, and feel assured that, by so doing, you will support only those whom you think the best calculated to watch over your interest with care and assiduity. It would be a difficult matter for me to explain to you, in the form of an address, my opinions upon the various subjects that may arise at the Council Board. I can only say, that all mea sures brought forward that have for their object the well-being of the Community at large, and the proper distribution of the Public M oney, shall receive my best attention and support. Having been, within the present year, appointed a Member of the Select Vestry, I can with satisfaction refer you to the part I have taken in Parochia. Affairs ; and should I have the honour of being elected, (permit me to say,) I hope to follow out the same course, and by such means to lessen the local burthens that at present press so heavily upon my Brother Tradesmen. Great efforts are now making for the Sanitory Improvement of the town. I shall feel it my duty to promote such measures to the utmost of my ability, with a due regard to economy • and believe that, having been connected with business in and near your Ward for upwards of seventeen years, I am acquainted with your wants and wishes, and sincerely trust I shall always be found endeavouring to carry them out. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, JOHN WOODRUFF. Liverpool, 18th October, 1847.

MHIS excellent Family PILL is a Medicine of 1 long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the Sto mach and Bowels, the common symptoms of which are Costive ness, Flatulency, Spasms, Less of Appetite, Sick Head-ache, Giddiness, Sense of Fulness after meals, Dizziness of the Eyes, Drowsiness, and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels: Indiges tion, producing a Torpid state of the Liver, and a consequent Inactivity of the Bowels, causing a disorganization of every function of the frame, will, in this most excellent preparation, by a little perseverance, be.effectually removed. Two or three doses wiil convince the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will rapidly take place; and in- stead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health, will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompa nying each box. . . These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Coughs, Colds, Agues, Shortness of l3reath, and all Obstructions of the Urinary Passages ; and, if taken after a too frequent indulgence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose. Persons of a FULL HABIT, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddiness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use. For FEMALES, these Pills are most truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very prevalent with the sex Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight. Nervous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness of the Skin, and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the complexion. To MOTHERS they are confidently recommended as the best medicine that can be taken during pregnancy; and for children of all ages they are unequalled. As a pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient, they unite the recom mendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no restraint of diet, or confinement during their use.

If you are in want of that Beautiful Adorn ment of the Human Figure, a natural supply of Human Hair, obtain through the post, or of any Wholesale or Retail Chemist, Druggist, or Perfumer, an his. bottle of GRIMSTONE'S AROMATIC REGENERATOR. This is an Essential Spirit drawn from Aromatic Herbs and Flowers (grown at his Herbary Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtue s , too numerous to set fo r th in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which, the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of WILLIAM GRISISTONE, Mer chant, Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekley's letter to the Editor of the Times Newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post on receiving two postage stamps. And the AROMATIC REGENERATOR can be forwarded throngh the post on receiving a Postoffice order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or 12s. —which includes the postage with tin case. The I Is. size con tains four of the 4s. A few of its virtues, as thousands can now prove, are that—it produces eyebrows; moustaches; whiskers; new head of hair ; and new hair on bald places. It cures all diseases of the human hair. It is acknowledged by all medical gentlemen to be the only specific that will cure Porrigo Decalvans, and cover the bald places with P. new growth of lair. Neilous Head-ache cured by using a few drops on the crown of the head. . . Fainting-fits cured and prevented by using twenty or thirty drops on the crown of the head. Repeat it until relief is ob tained, and the patient will be relieved in fifteen minutes. Eyebrows, Moustaches, and Whiskers produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, the peculiar properties of which are known only to the Inventor, and though perfectly innocent in itself, will produce new hair on bald places, caused by weakness of constitution, or where nature has not bestowed this ornament to the human figure. It has been known to many of the nobility and gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inventor most sin cerely thank for their attestation of its merits in the certainty of restoring Hair, and giving it additional lustre and strength. Mrs. Weekly, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this opportunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, Highgate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenera;- tsr, in having completely restored the hair on her head after using it about four months, and her hair is now much stronger and more luxuriant than it was previous to its falling off. Mrs. W. inserts this testimony, thinking that the virtues of this pre paration cannot be too generally known, not only in the resto ration and production of hair, but in the cure of nervous and other headaches, and will be happy to answer the enquiries of any respectable person.—Times, Aug. 7 The foregoing will, I trust, oe sufficient to prove the efficacy of my Regenerator, which I new offer to the nobility and the public ; and I shall merely add that every kind of grease or oil should be avoided, if you wish a New Growth of Hair. As those matters are thrown off by our constitution, no oil or grease can enter the skin, and, therefore, is both objectionable and useless. As to its power of producing a New Growth of Human Hair, it is ridiculous to imagine any greasy unction will penetrate the pores 1 Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator is absorbed in a few minutes.

The following are a few of the many thousands of cases suc cessfully treated by the Vegetable Compound, during a practice of upwards of twenty years : RECENT CASE IN BASINGSTOKE. Jan. 22nd, 1847.—William Painter, a railway porter, at the Basingstoke Sta Von, and living at Mr. Law's, Chapel-street, Basingstoke, while taking of Lamb's Vegetable Compound, passed a tapeworm fifteen feet long ? with several hundred joints. The symptoms that affected him for upwards of eight years were as follows :—Pain and giddiness in the head, with dimness of sight and heaviness over the eyes, bad acrid taste in the mouth in the morning, a sensation of something rising in the throat, with retchings to vomit, the food appearing to produce nothing but wind in the bowels, frequently violent gnawing pain, together with weakness between the stomach and bowels, aching pains in the limbs, pains in the back and sides, and scarcely ever felt refreshed from food or sleep. Mr. Painter states, helms taken various preparations of turpentine, until he has been laid up with it for a fortnight, altogether un able to follow his work, and had consulted every medical man' not only in the neighbourhood, but anywhere where he could hear of one that was eminent in the cure of worms. The worm may be saan by applying to the patient, who will with pleasure speak to the m►ld action of the- medicines over any other he has taken. _ _ . May 18, 1847.—Mrs. Sims, living servant with Mrs. Hill, of 6. St. James-walk, Clerkenwell, London, while taking of Lamb's Vegetable Compound, passed a tapeworm several yards long. She had complained of pain and giddiness in the head, sickness, weakness of the limbs, shortness of breath, and palpitation of the heart, pains in the stomach, side, and back, and scarcely ever felt refreshed from food or sleep. 1847.--Charles Stuart, aged 39, shoemaker, 17, of Hill-street, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, while taking Lamb's Ve getable Compound, passed a tapeworm ten yards ing. Symp toms : Pain and sinking sensation in the stomach and bowels, pains in the back and side, shortness of breath and tightness across the chest, sickness and retching to vomit in a morning, fullness after eating, as if all the food produced nothing but wind; often felt drowsy and listless, and want of inclination to exert himself, and scarcely ever felt refreshed from food or - March 20, 1847.—Mrs. Draper ' aged 60, wife of John Draper, of Wild Moor, in the parish of Shertield Green, near Basing stoke, while taking of Lamb's Vegetable Compound, passed a tapeworm several yards long. She had been subject to almoin every symptom of indigestion for many years, and, never could obtain any benefit, until taking the Vegetable Compound, since which she has enjoyed a good state of health tip to the present time. —May 22, 1847.

SINGULAR DISEASE OF GROWING TREES.—A por tion of the top of a spruce fir may be seen at our office, bearing a most singular appearance from what is generally thought to be the effect of some unknown disease.

A NEW WAY TO EXTORT CONFESSION.—The 2lfoni leer Parisien contains the following letter, dated May ence, 11th instant :—" On Sunday last, between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evenin g , MM. Lorentz, a physician, Kau& ner an architect, anUhling, a master builder, were rz turning from Weisenau to Darmstadt. In passing near the public gardens they were assaulted by three drunken soldiers wearing the Prussian uniform. M. Lorentz had a finger cut, M. Kauflner was wounded in the head, and M. Uhling in the hand. The following day they com plained to the commander of the federal fortress of May -ence, who caused a search to be made in the barracks, of the Prussian regiments, but none of the men would be tray their comrades. The commander of the fortress then imagined an expedient which completely succeeded. He drew up the regiment in the grand square, commanded them to present arms, and when the command was obeyed, he declared to the troops that they should remain in the same position in which they then were until they declared who were the men who committed the attack on the three civilians. The soldiers held firm during two hours and twenty minutes, when six soldiers declared they were guilty. Their declaration having been confirmed by their comrades, they were handed over to a court-martial. IMPORTANCE OF SURPLUS LOCOMOTIVE POWER. —An illustration of the importance of surplus power in the lo comotive engine was afforded in the working of the " Great f',lritain," one of the broad-gauge 8-feet driving-wheel locomotives, in its up-journey, on Saturday, from the Swindon station with the train that leaves Exeter at one o'clock, p.m. The train is due at Swindon at 5.20, but did not, from an unavoidable delay at one of the stations, arrive there till 5 . 45 . The train, weighing upwards of 90 tons, exclusive of engine and tender, left that station at 5.55—viz., 25 minutes after time, stopped at nine stations —remaining nine minutes at Didcot, five minutes at Reading, and four minutes at Slough—arrived at Pad dington at 8.20 (five minutes only after time), performing, the 77 miles in 2 hours and 25 minutes, or at the rate of nearly 35 miles per hour, including the time lost while stopping at the nine stations. This is an extraordinary gwathseatnaumstabteer of f f restnstpaptatglines,the t p i e m r performanc e , r lostm a w e vari ous stations, and the load taken. The speed , which was very high throughout, frequently reached 65 and 66, and occasionally reached 7 0 miles per hour . We rode on the " Great Britain " nearly the whole of the distance n l e iile no th n e sid tr e a r i i n n be tween Swindon and Paddington, and found it perfectly steady- at the maximum veleeity.—Morning Herald.

Extractof a Letter dated Roscommon, February 19th, 1847, from the highly.respectable Proprietor of the Roscommon Journal. • Sir,—Mr. Ryan, the well-known proprietor of the hotel next door to me, had two very bad legs, one with eight ulcers on it, the other with three, they were in such a fearful state that the effluvia from them was very great. Some time since he tnade a journey to Dublin for the purpose of consulting some of the most eminent professional men, but returned home to his fa vidly with the choice of either one of two alternatives—to have both legs amputated, or die I—On his way home he met a gen tleman in the coach who recommended the use of Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which he had recourse to, and was per fectly cured by their means alone. (Signed) CHARLES TULLY, Editor and Proprietor of the Roscommon Journal. To Professor Holloway. A CURE OF A DREADFUL AND DANGEROUS CASE OF ERYSIPELAS. In the following remarkable case the lady had been both deaf and dumb from the virulence of the complaint. February 19th, 1847. Mrs. Gibbons, of Tivoli-place. Cheltenham, was for two years so dreadfully afillcted with Erysipelas that she became (how ever extraordinary it may appear) both blind and deaf, from the severity of the disease, and during the whole of the time she was attended by several of the most eminent medical men in Cheltenham, without receiving any benefit whatever, and, as a last resource, she tried Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which in two months perfectly cured the dreadful complaint, and like wise restored her to health. 63. Mrs. Stoyle, the very respectable landlady of the New Inn, Cheltenham, can bear witness to this cure. It can also be authenticated at the Stationers, No. 10, Arcade, High street, Cheltenham. In all Diseases of the Skin, Bad Legs, Old Wounds and Ul cers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples, Stoney and Ulcerated Cancers, Tumours, Swellings, Gout, Rheumatism, and Lumbago, likewise in cases of Piles ; Holloway's Pills, in all the above cases, ought to be used with the Ointment ; as by this means cures will be effected with a much greater certainty, and in half the time that it would require by using the Ointment alone. The Ointment is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of Moschettoes, Sand-flies, Chiegofoot, Yaws, and Coco bay, and all Skin Dis eases common to the East and West Indies, and other tropical climates. Burns. Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also Bunions and Soft Corns, will be immediately cured by the use of the Ointment.

Without intending to espouse a theory, we (says the Morning Herald) still feel greatly inclined to favour the idea of a Government currency of £5 and £1 notes, avail able at all times for taxes or duties, but never presentable in demand of coin. . In point of authority, this plan wants not the sanction of names of weight. It was put forth, if we do not mis take, some years back, by Mr. Henry Drummond, one of the best practical bankers in England. It was favoured by Mr. Sadler, and since him by Mr Alison. The general voice of Birmingham, of Edinburgh, and of Glasgow, would pronounce unhesitatingly in its favour. And, to our minds, one of its strongest recommendations is found in the fact, that its opponents are driven to the grossest exaggerations and mis-statements, in order to make out any case against it. The main reliance of the Times, in objecting to the plan, is, that notes not payable in gold may sink to a dis count. Instantly the assumption is added, that they would sink to a discount. And, the next moment, it is boldly assumed, that the ,discount would 'be an enormous one. Thus the Times argued, that although the butchers might admit your one-pound note to be a one-pound note, you could not prevent his demanding two one-pound notes for a sirloin of beef, which he would gladly sell for one sovereign ? The answer to this clearly is, that although a contro versialist may claim the liberty of imagining and suppos ing anything he pleases, still it is abundantly clear that this supposition is in the highest degree improbable, and, indeed, all but physically impossible. The proposed paper money would form the bulk of the currency of the coun try. The people of this country pay to the government somewhat more than a million sterling every week, and nearly fire millions every month. As, therefore, five millions of this paper would be needed al par every month, by what means could holders be induced to part with it at even sixpence discount ? The case of the existing Exchequer-bills proves the solidity of a government paper money. We take them even at the present crisis, and when they are selling at a discount, and we say that they prove our case. For even at this fearful juncture, while Consols have fallen 8 per cent. in six weeks, and Birmingham and Great Western shares each 20 per ce9t., Exchequer-bills are at 155., 205., or 255. discount. And why are they at any discount at all ? Simply because they are not available as money at the moment, for any purposes whatever. They are not due. They are not presentable or payable; they have " months to run , " yet, even under this disadvantage s they only fall to one per cent. discount. And were they _ppyable for duties, they would not be sold at one shilling discount. We aver, then, that a Government paper money of 50 millions, current for all Government purposes, dis Wends, taxes, duties, would never be at any discount what ever. We allege, also, that such a currency might be made—and it would be the duty of Government to make it—steady; permanent, and unfluctuating. Whereas, the present system is a system which works by fits and starts ; first tempting people into wide speculations, by making money too cheap, and then plunging them into bank ruptcy, by making it too dear. And, in this belief, we are of opinion that a plan of this kind ought at least to be brought under the serious con sideration of Parliament. THE CAUSES OF THE PRESENT EMBARRASS- MENTS. (From Yesterday's Herald.) The misfortune is not that we have set too many men to work in England, but that we are doubling the hands of half the factories abroad. We have nothing to fear from the prosperity of any portion of the native popula tion. Would that we were as secure from the effects of prosperity transferred from England to France, from Jamaica to Cuba. " Birmingham," says the Times, "is interested in such an extension of credit as shall enable twice as many calls to be paid up this year , even though it should result that twice as many merchants and trades men were ruined next year." Shocking as it may be to make railways, and to employ Englishmen in their construction, we cannot allow, in the teeth of facts, the assertion implied in the words we have under lined to be taken by our readers for granted. When the announcement of the failure of Messrs. Reid, Irving, and Co. first appeared in these columns, we asked what railways and railway speculations had to do with this catastrophe ? We repeat the question now. We in vite our contemporary to answer it. If Birmingham had not required a single farthing for its iron, if railway calls had been unknowq, would Messrs. Reid and Co. now be solvent ? If an act were to be passed to-morrow, corn- Pelling engines to be silent, and restoring the old stage coaches to the road, could this once substantial firm retain its former station ? Messrs. Reid and Co. speculated neither in railways nor in corn; they invested their capi tal in legitimate enterprises, relying on the good faith, justice, and honour of the British legislature, and they are ruined because they trusted that legislature " not wisely, but too well." They are amongst the first victims sacrificed to the free-trade policy which was to render us the envy and admiration of the world. They pur chased West Indian property with the full and natural conviction that a nation making a parade or show of its Christian humanity could not be barefaced enough to weep one minute over the sorrows of the negro, and to give a premium the next for the increase of his sufferings : they embarked their capital in the belief that English mer chants, English labourers, and English interests would not be the last consideredin the Imperial laws passed for the benefit of the English people. In all respects they are disappointed and are ruined. Our contemporary may turn away from the disagreeable results of the policy he has advocated and helped to establish, but he cannot re move them. He may harp for ever upon his one string, but he will not charm his listeners into a forgetfulness of wrong. He may point with well-affected horror to the furious roarin ,, of the railway engine, but merchants with out money, tradesmen without custom, and operatives without work, will discover, with the acuteness peculiar to suffering, a nearer, if less noisy source of all the mis chief. We contend that the havoc around us is the result— the natural and expected result—of the system which is especially contrived for the aggrandisement of the foreigner at the expense of the British subject. What has happened was foreseen ; what is yet to come to pass we have over and over again declared. In the struggle between theory and experience, it is not difficult to pro claim which shall eventually conquer. Messrs. Reid and Co. fail in consequence of free trade exhibited in the Mau ritius. The working of free trade does not vary with cli mate or distance. Its laws are as universal as they are simple; others will fail in England in consequence of the operation of free trade here. It is but a question of time. The words of " Observer," whose remarks we copied from an evening paper on Saturday last, are in this respect, true to the letter :—" Just as certain," says this writer, "as the free introduction of foreign sugar has brought the British tropical possessions into their present deplorable condition, so certainly will the free introduction of untaxed foreign corn ruin the whole agricultural interests of this country ; and also just cs certainly will the free introduction of untaxed foreign shipping ruin the whole heavily-taxed shipping interest of the United Kingdom and her foreign dependencies. And, moreover, as certainly will the British highly-taxed ma nufacturers of every degree be reduced to a state of ruin by unfettered and untaxed foreign manufacturing compe tition at home and abroad. Let the fundholders and go veynment employes of rank and degree look to these truths, and try to avert them before it is too late."

ROYAL AMPIIITHEATRE.—" The Early Days of Shaks pere," produced last week, is a gratifying tribute to the memory of the great poet, familiarising us with his personal adventures, and affording a medium for the in troduction of some of the finest language to be found in his works, as well as several beautiful scenic representa tions. " Blue Beard" is well put on the stage: Rajah" is one of the greatest stars we ever witnessed. ACCIDENTAL DEATH.—Yesterday, an inquest was held before the borough coroner, relative to the death of David Carmont, aged 41. On Saturday last deceased was driving a one-horse cart, laden with flour, near the Salt-house Dock, when another similar cart came towards him from 'the opposite direction. The wheel of the latter accident ally caught the shaft of deceased's cart ; and he was jammed or crushed up between the two, by which he was so much injured that he died ou Sunday morning from fracture of the ribs. Verdict, " accidental death." STEALING IRON.—On the 14th September, two men out of a gang of three were committed for trial at the ses sions, for stealing about l ewt. of pig iron from a cart in Simpson-street. They were watched taking it to a marine store in Lower Breck-street, but one of them, John Con nolly, who escaped, was not captured until Saturday last, and was placed before Mr. Rushton yesterday. Being fully identified as one of the plunderers, he was sent for trial. The property belonged to Messrs- Bailey, Brothers, iron merchants. WHOLESALE THEFTS FROM ST. JOHN'S MARKET. — Two women, Jane Jones and Jane Sparks, were yesterday charged before Mr. Rushton with stealing a basket from avenue No. 4 in St. John's Market, containing 231 b. of butter, brought for sale from Roby on the 9th instant, another basket containing two geese , a rabbit, a brace of partridge, &c.,—also a keg of butter, &c., belonging to different people. They left the articles until they would call again at a public-house in Harford-street, and it ap peared had made a practice of purloining baskets, &c., from the market. They were committed for t r i a l. F ATAL ACCIDENT. —AHinquest was held yesterday, be fore Mr. Curry, on view of the body of Thomas Prescott, aocd 14 years. On Saturday morning last, about six o'clock, deceased was leading a one-horse spring cart, laden with fish, along Rose-street, R oe -street, near the hack of the Royal Amphitheatre. There was a quantity of stable or straw manure piled u p i n h eaps on one s id e of the narrow street ; and while he was pasting partly over ' it, at the head of his horse, his foot got entangled in the litter, and he fell. Before he could reeover himself, the wheel passed over his b o d y . H e was carr i ed home to hi s parents, in Gaseoyne-street. and thence, in a state of in sensibility, to the Infirmary, where he died in two hours after his reception. It was found, on a post morteol ex amination, that he had sustained a fracture of the skull and fractures of the right ribs... The jury returned a ycr diet of " accidental death." 5 THE CAREER OF GIBSON THE SCULPTOR. At a time when we have just reared as one of the per.: manent ornaments of our town a Statue executed b) one of the most distinguished sculptors of the day, whose fame we regard as belonging to us, it may be interestin. , to our readers to learn a few particulars of his early life and professional career. John Gibson was born in 1790, at Gyffyn, near Conway, in North Wales ; and his baptis mal certificate, which we have before us, runs—" Baptized John, son of William Gibson, of the parish of Gyffyn by Jane Roberts, his wife, June 19." His father occupiei the situation of a gardener upon the estate of R. Griffiths, Esq., by whom upon his growing up to boyhood, it is pre sumd from some manifestation of superior talent con siderable interest was shewn in the young Gibson ; for we learn that it was by his advice that he was brought to Liverpool, only however, to be bound apprentice to the comparatively humble trade of a cabinet-maker and carver in wood, his masters being Messrs. Southwell and Wilson, of this town. Here he very early manifested a turn for the sculptor's art, excelling in carving and the modelling of small wooden figures. The first work which attracted notice beyond the immediate sphere of his em ployer's shop, and his own friends, was a small model in wax of Time, executed in the year ]BOB, when the artist would be in his eighteenth year. This attracted the ob servation of Messrs. T. and S. Franceys, sculptors, of Brownlow-hill, who at that time occupied the premises, at present those of Mr. Spence, who was a fellow-appren tice with Gibson, and has in his possession the model referred to. The Messrs. Francey's appear to have fully appreciated the ability of the youth ; for we learn that they immediately purchased his indentures, giving the . sum of £7O for them, and employed him in the higher . branches of their own business. Whilst with them he executed (in 1810) a model representing the Seasons, and a figure of Cupid, both of which were for John Gladstone, Esq., and are no doubt in the possession of and highly prized by that gentleman. The Cupid is considered one of his finest productions. Ei7After having served six years—the remainder of his term of apprenticeship—to the satisfaction of these gentle men, he was noticed by the late William Roscoe, Esq., no mean judge of talent, by whom he was reconimendel to the patronage of Michael Angelo Taylor, Esq., M.P. at the time for the city of Durham ; and he accordingly arrived in London in 1818. He was immediately set to work in the execution of a number of models of that gentleman's family. An introductionto Lord Castlereagh followed, from whom he received letters of introduction to Canova, the sculptor ; and in 1820 he started for Rome, where he devoted himself to the study of the old masters. It was here that he met first the Duke of Devonshire, a nobleman ever anxious and munificent in encouraging native English talent, from whom he received an order for the execution of the celebrated piece of statuary, Mars and Venus. The admiration attracted by this work gained him the patronage of the King of Bavaria, one of the greatest supporters of the arts and sciences in Italy since the time of Leo the Tenth, for whom he chiselled several groups, which were approved by the most eminent connoiseurs. Since then his fame has become a patent fact, and many of the Italian and English nobility, with some of our own merchant princes have employed hint and prize his productions. In disposition Mr. Gibson is mild and unassuming, amiable and humane ; and it is a circumstance which may be recorded to his honour. that in his affluence at Rome he never forgot the duty of sharing his means with his parents in Liverpool. CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER AGAINST FEMALE. Yesterday, an inquisition was held before the borougk coroner, on view of the body of a new-born female child, found in the house of Mr. Samuel Marshall, 38, Moon street. Mrs. Eliza S. Marshall, wife of the gentleman alluded to, said that a young woman, (aged about thirty,) the mother of the child, had been with them as servant fer six or seven years, with the exception of a period of a few months. About six months ago witness observed a change in her appearance ; and she frequently came in laughing, and saying she had been accused of being in the family way ; but added that she had got a cold, and that it had turned into dropsy. On Thursday she complained of being ill, and said she had a cramp in the stomach. She went to bed about two o'clock, and said in the evening that she was better, and would not require the doctor.. She appeared better on Friday, but on Saturday refused to have the bed made, and witness's suspicions were conse quently excited. Mr. John Burroughs, surgeon, was sent for, and on examination said there vv ere evident symptoms of recent delivery. He also advised a strict search to be made for the child, which was done, and be tween two beds, on a bedstead in the same room with the mother, but not that on which she lay, was found the body of a full-grown female child, with a yellow silk ribbon tied very tightly round its neck. The accused (Eliza Matchan) was then charged with being the mother of it, but refused to answer any questions. She was the only servant in the house. Sarah Serjeant, a married woman, who had attended temporarily to do the work of the accused for a day, dur ing her illness, took breakfast to the latter on Saturday . morning, and observed marks upon the linen which ex cited her suspicions. She and Mrs. Marshall made a search, and found the body of the child as described. The accused (who was not yesterday in custody, being yet con fined to her bed), immediately before the body was found, said, "If I must tell you, it is there." Accused after wards said, ".I could not bring it away in giving it birth, and I tied the ribbon on its neck to enable me to do so." The ribbon was produced in court, and identified as the same. Mr. Burrough, surgeon, said the accused had called on him on Wednesday, and asked rim whether she • Thould not be bled. . He charged her with being preg nant. Four months ago she had called on him on account of attacks of vomiting, and he was then of opinion that the cause was pregnancy. When he saw her on Wednesday, he was satisfied she was in the family-way. She seemed at first a little confused, but, recovering herself, said that her relatives were subject to dropsy, and that she was not in the family way. On Satur day morning, he was sent for by Mrs. Marshall to see her. He afterwards saw the body, and the ribbon round its neck, in two circles, and tied in a single knot.. He had examined the body, and found deceased had arrived at maturity. and had been born alive. The head presented a double fracture of the parietal bone on each side, the result of external violence. He found a layer of blood under the scalp. The violence could not have been produced by any natural efforts on the part of the mother during parturition, and the fractures were the immediate cause of death. The tying of the ribbon was not the proximate cause of death, but might have accele rated it. . The Coroner charged the jury, who almost instantly returned a verdict of "wilful murder," against the mother, Eliza Natchan. The witnesses were bound over to appear at the assizes, and the coroner issued his war rant upon Mr. Inspector Boyd, who was present, for her safe custody and transmission to Kirkdale Gaol, when fit to be removed, preparatory to her trial at the next assizes. THE HIISKISSON STATUE. — The visit of Sir Robert Peel to Liverpool was appropriately chosen for the elevation to its pedestal in front of the Custom-house of a bronze statue of Huskisson. The statue, which .is of light bronze, was cast in Holland, from a statue executed in Rome, by Gibson, and is a present from Mrs. Huskisson to the town on which the deeply lamented deceased re-. fleeted so much lustre as its representative. It is eight feet four inches in height, and, although not of solid metal, weighs 18 cwt. From the smallness of its pedestal, the statue, at first sight, appears very unprotected. The position is dignified and imposing, and the drapery is arranged with grace and freedom. There is, we think * more than natural muscular development ; but, probably, this will in a great measure wear off in the course of time. A plain substantial cast iron . palisade, from the foundery of Messrs. P. E. Weber and Co., was on Friday (the morning of elevation) fixed on the outer side of the raised freestone basement, and encloses an area of about twelve feet square. The pedestal is a granite, and bears in plain bronze letters the simple but sufficient ins-ription " William Huskisson." He holds a document, rolled up * in the right hand, which rests upon the thigh. The head considerably reclines, and the figure appears looking down upon the spectators. t. ROBBERY- FROM •THE PERSON.—At the Police-court, yesterday, it robust.seafaring man, charged a female w tit robbing him of his watch and .13 103., in a house of ilt repute. The evidence not being complete, the priscmer was remanded. NOVEL TRAVELLING CARRIAGE.—There is now-exhi.. biting at the Assembly-room, Bold-street, a patent tra velling carriage, the invention of Mr. Archibald Farries, of Preston. It is worked by the hand, without at! er horse or steam power, and will travel, it is said, on a com mon turnpike-road, at the rate of ten miles an hour. ,It is easily managed by one person, and can be steered in any direction, and turned round by an exceedingly simple process. We are assured it will also ascend an incli el plane, with a weight of upwards of a ton, at the same speed. It is calculated to carry twelve persons; We doubt - not that this singular invention will be numerously visited. We have not yet had an opportunity of minutely • inspecting it, .but hope next week to be able to give a full descriptive account of it. It was advertised to •he seen yesterday, but in consequence of some inadvertence - on the part of the railway officials, it was detained at Wapping from Saturday afternoon until last evening, and the exhi bition consequently opens this day. : ROYAL ADELPHI THEATRE.—The audiencei at this theatre since the opening have not been great. - - As a melo-dramatic 'company, the performers certainly stand second to none among the many now before the Liver pool public ; and if there is'any proof of the future to be gained from the past, we may venture to prognosticate that, they'will improve upon acquaintance. A good deal of the succes s o f a manager , nowa d ays , d e p en ds on his tact in producing pieces suited to the times ; and though the representations of last night were not exactly new to the theatrical world, they are nearly so to Liverpool, and are so replete with well carried out plot and expressive language, as to be classed amongst the first of modern productions, whether for interest or stage efiect. The performances commenced last night with the drama of the "Tower of Neste." Capt. Burden (formerlra page to the Queen) was admirably sustained by Mr. Edwards- That cool sarcastic haughtiness with which the character is replete was admirably conveyed. Mrs. Campbell (her first appearance) played the part of Margeuritte de Bow-goy/le in a style quite equal to that which eli cited for her so much applause when produced here some years since. • Philip D'Aubery and Gaultier D'Aubery were respectively well sustained by Mr, Mon.. tague and Mr. Young. "Mr. Rice, as Count Javoisey, was the fop and the character complete. The afterpiece, " Tom Starboard," AN'hich is from the pen of Mrn.t arEd wards, who sustained the pzincipal character, we excellently, but want of ilo:we prevents u$ plug int* detail more minutely.
