TO CORRESPONDENTS circumstantial account of the trial of the atmospheric railway was given in our publication a fortnight ago. We are unable to answer our correspondent's other correspondent who subscribes himself " A Constant Reader of the STANDARD," enquires of us whether the bills of mortality for this town comprise the deaths of the inhabitants only, or include foreigners, travellers oxid other casual visitors of Liverpool. We can in reply state for his information what they do comprise. The baptisms and burials are given for all the churches in Liverpool and the outskirts, the latter embracing Toxteth-park, Everton, Edge-hill, and Kirkdale. But we do not conceive that these bills give the fair statis tics of the mortality of our town ; for the registry of the Church of England is the only document which they depend upon—and it is well known that the bap tisms of children are, since the registration system was adopted, very imperfect documents whereby to judge of the number of births in any locality. Our corres pondent evi lently wishes to under-estimate the pesti lential nature of our atmosphere. He asks us whether foreigners dying here are included in our bills of mor tality. Of course they are. But those persons, not natives though residents of Liverpool. who leave here to try the experiment and to die in their native air, are not included; and there will be little difference hi the balance between the two. Very few people come here as the last place for health. We are getting rather too notorious. Ebt Ztherpool &tanDarli. THE LIVET - 000i, STANDARD. TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 12, 1843 We deplored, at the time, the weakness of the government displayed in the abandonment of the Factory and Education Bill ; and we have now be fore us documents—(Reports of the Inspectors of Factories to the Home Secretary for the half year ending June, 1843)—which are far from being cal culated to dissipate that regret. 'We propose here giving a few extracts from these reports, which are not only corroboratory of our views, and the origi nally expressed views of government, but present to us a picture of the inefficacy of the present system, to ensure, for the children of our factory popula tion, either education or protection from inordinate toil, which, intimately acquainted as we are with the factory districts, we could scarcely have believed to have had existence. And first, with respect to the inefficiency of the protection against inordinate toil at present afforded by Sir John Hohhouse's act. In a report by Mr. Horner, dated the 6th of April, 1843, we find it stated that although he had found, in a certain cotton manufacturing district, "a fair observance of the chief enactments of the law," yet " too many inst ,nces have occurred of the violation or neglect of other important provisions," which the hill of Sir James Graham, withdrawn at the dictation of dissenting agitation, would, in the opinion of the inspector, have prevented. Amongst these were the practice of working children for more than twelve hours a day ; employing children with out certificates of age ; making false entries in the registries; employing children without requiring them to attend school; granting false certificates of attendance, and other similar breaches of the letter or the spirit of the act, for the detection of which •sxistin a po ers of the inspectors are not suffi- Another destructive practice noticed was the employment of children in cleaning self-acting mules )ermitted or not repressed by the •he discontinuance of which was whilst in motion, 1 existing law, bu provided by the bill of Sir James Graham. A case is mentioned in which a child so employed was killed on the 4th January last; and, in explanation of the danger of the practice, the Inspector remarks that the self-actor ' puts up' with great force and rapidity, and there is no check to it as in the case of the hand mule ; so that without the greatest ac tivity and watchfulness of the children they are every minute liable to be crushed" (1) And this dreadful perillir.7, of human life is tolerated, because the avarice of liberalism preaches the doctrine that a government must not interfere with "the freedom of the labour market" —the immunity of the manu- as little or chinery to treat his living automata with ss consideration than he treats his ma- But the most striking facts are those furnished by Mr. Horner, with respect to the deficiency of the educational regulations provided for by the existing act. WI iting upon this subject, Mr. Horner gives us the educational statistics of the children employed by 591 firms in the manufacturing districts of the North of England, which we shall briefly state for the consideration of our readers. The number of children employed by these 591 3,155 attended schools established in the factories themselves (of the cha - shall speak by and bye); 2,689 lots, which are described to be small assemblages of children in cottages, brought Of these racter of which we shall ttended private schools together by indigent old men or old women, who nominally keep a school, they being incapable of earning a livelihood in any other way, but without any qualification for teaching." 596 attended na tional schools in connexion with the Established Church, but not schools of the national society attended public Wesleyan schools, and 39 (!) at tended pul But with res Roman Catholic schools 'ct to the character of these schools we must be more definite in our description, and, therefore, turn to the report itself. Speaking on this subject Mr. Horner remarks— " Of the 117 factory schools, 16 are good, attended by about 860 children, or about 27 per cent. of those edu cated in such schools. These are other factory schools, and some of the private schools, in which some little in struction is i arted ; but in the majority of both there is a mere nominal compliance with the law, and it is an entire misapplication of the term to call such places SCHOOL put a stop to this believe I am unders Mrs have no power to interfere to reditable mockery of education. I tiny the case to a considerable ex- tent when I say that of these 6,872 children, for whom certificates of school attendance are obtained, 4,500 are getting NO EDUC TION WHATEVER AT THESE SCHOOLS Nor is the privation of instruction the only evil; these children pay a school fee, for which they get no value in return. If we reckon the fee to be, on an average, 2d. a week for 48 weeks in the year, we have Bs. a year for each child, so that £lBOO a year is paid by the parents without : whereas this sum might in well conducted 4500 children a very good edu- value reeelveu .hools procure for these Such is that system of education in behalf of which dissent and liberalism have struggled so fiercely. It is in truth a "mockery of education ;" and it is also an infamous robbery of our working poor, carried on with the connivance of some of tiros very patriotic people who have protested so oudly against a change. The manufacturing body /Just be aware of the incapacity of nine out of ten of the masters themselves, who pretend to teach these children ; and they must be and are aware that' however competent the masters, so long as the chil dren to be taught are compelled to work for eight hours a day, and to snatch the two hours devoted to instruction at any chance opportunity which offers, such education must be, what it is now, per fectly useless, if it is not even worse than useless ! Asa proof of the incompetency of the teac hers, and a curiosity as well, we give from the reports before us a few of the certificates which are weekly given to entitle children to be employed. The first is from a factory school, and is as follows : " I do hereby cerfy that my scholors have attend 2 hours eery day during the last week. Bray 2 1943" The next specimens are from private or dame schools— "He do her testify that tese children Have tended this school too Hours during Last Whek. May 2 1243" In all these cases the names of the children for whom the certificates are granted are ludicrously ill spelt. Another runs— " These cheldren have atended My school 2 howers every day Last week. May th 1843" And another— " This is to certify that these children attends re gular the School six days a week two hours aday. May the 2 1843." The competency of such instructors need not be dilated upon. Our attention has been called to a placard which has just been issued by the body calling itself the " Anti-Monopoly Association" of this town, of which the following is a copy : " A LAW WHICH CAUSES THE DESTRUCTION OF HUMAN FOOD CAN NIEET WITH DEFENDERS AMONG NO CLASS OF MEN IF THEY WILL GIVE THE SUBJECT ONE MOMENT'S CANDID CONS'. DERATION A Sample of GOOD BUTTER, 396 CASKS, Imported last Month by the AMERICAN SHIP " EUROPE," from NEW YORK, has been brought to the office of the ANTI MONOPOLY ASSOCIATION, 7, Water-St. The Duty on Foreign Buller is so exorbitant, 21d. per lb. that these 396 CASKS OF BUTTER WILL RE MIXED WITH TAR! AS MAY BE OFTEN SEEN ON THE DOCK QUAYS for the purpose of MAKING IT UNFIT FOR FOOD. When thus spoiled it will be allowed for use as GREASE for CART WHEELS, &C. at the LOW DUTY Of ONE FARTHING per lb." We need not, of course, say one word with respect to the object of this disgraceful publication— for disgraceful it is in every sense of the word. Its object is to inflame the popular mind ; and in the pursuit of this object, its authors have not scrupled to pervert facts, and to mingle absolute mendacity with their ignorance, to an extent which one would imagine that men of honourable character and re spectable station would be ashamed to contemplate. For what, let us ask, would be the first impression which a perusal of the document is calculated to create ? Manifestly this, that the importation in question was made with a view to its entry for con sumption in the British market ; and that nothing interfered with the profitable result of the transac tion except the "exorbitant high duty" of 21d. per lb. But was such the case ? We venture greatly to doubt whether this " good butter" was anything, after all, but the "grease butter" which is a regular article of exportation to this and other countries from the United States. It was not imported here for consumption as an article of food, for the very simple reason that no man of common sense, and with his eyes open, could possibly dream of enter ing into a speculation at present so hopeless. An appeal to facts and figures will sufficiently prove this position. The price of American "grease butter" in bond is at present 355. per - cwt. The price of " Old" Irish—a better article than the American —is only 40s. Without a duty at all, therefore, and allowing the American to be (what it is not) fit for human consumption, there could be very little profitable importation. The price of " new Irish" butter, in firkins, is at present 565. to 68s. per cwt. The corresponding quality, viz. in tubs and pails, in New York market, by the last advices, is 121 to 15 cents per lb., or 58s. 4d. to 70s. per cwt ! The price of good butter in New York is therefore just 2s. per cwt. greater than in Liverpool; and yet these anti-monopoly people can deliberately tell us that it is only our " exorbitantly high duty" which prevents the working classes of this country enjoying the cheap () butter of the United States I The fact is, that at the present rates it is only the high duty of 5 cents, or nearly 3d. per lb., levied under the tariff of the United States, which prevents our becoming exporters of butter to Ame rica ! The " prime dairies" of the United States would, in case of an open trade on the part of that country, be superseded in part by the best qualities of our Irish. It does not, however, suit the object of the anti-morropoly gentlemen to allow this fact to be known, lest agitation should become an un profitable game. But we are told that the 396 kegs in question are to be spoiled, and afterwards used " as grease for cart-wheels." Now with respect to this " spoiling," we must confess that we do not contemplate the process with any great favour. It has been found necessary, however, we imagine, to keep importers honest, by rendering it impossible for them to pass as grease what in reality is butter. It is quite pos sible that some less objectionable plan might be hit upon. In the meantime, however, we console our selves with the reflection that it is not " human food" which is thus " tarred" and " spoilt," hut rubbish, which some very "liberal" and enlightened gentlemen, who are fond of reducing the people to " a coarser kind of food," might otherwise be tempted to dispose of as such ! We may remark, by the way, that neither such butter nor " grease" can be used for cart-wheels, as indeed any one less wooden than a cart-wheel might easily discover. We may add a word to our contemporary, the Mercury, who has perpetrated a paragraph upon the alleged enormity of this transaction. Our contem porary says that he has tasted the butter, and that, although a little salted, it is "in other respects equal to our own butter at is. a lb." Now this is surely going too far; for if the article is worth Is. a lb., the importer could make the very handsome profit of nearly sixpence per lb. by paying the duty upon it, instead of having it spoiled as grease. But your thick-and-thin advocate, who is not overburthened with information upon the subjects which occupy his pen, is apt thus to blunder. The Council proceedings of Wednesday last afford us little material for comment. To one or two points, however, which they suggest, we may be permitted to direct a few passing observations. And first, with respect to the proceedings of the Finance Committee. It does really strike us—and the conviction is forcing itself elsewhere—that this Committee takes upon itself a little too much. An observer of its doings would imagine that the Council itself was a merely subsidiary body, called together once a month for the sole purpose of recording their ap proval of the acts of the Finance Committee, and enabling a few talkative members to let off spirts of oratory addressed to the reporters. The committee is every thing—head, hands, spirit, and body of the municipal machine—whilst the Council itself is a mere shadow, inoperative alike to do and to design for the common weal. The committee can decree an expenditure of thousands, or determine upon the sale of one-half of the Corporation property, and a simple "Sic rolo, sic juheo, slat pro ratione volun tas," conveyed in a bland speech, is all the expla nation which it deems necessary to make, and all the deference which it chooses to pay to the body, of which it is, or ought to be, only an important member. The proceedings before us afford ample proof that this kind of assumption may he carried so far as, at length, to excite alarm and opposition. The Finance Committee report, first, that the tobacco warehouse be converted, at an expense of some two to three thousand pounds, into a depot for saltpetre and nitrate of soda, and propose that their report be at once received and confirmed. But the Council thinks it might have been consulted upon the mat ter; that the Cnairman of the Finance Committee, however estimable and clever, may not be infallible ; and that the plans of the committee may not be the best which are attainable. With all due deference to the wisdom of the Finance Committee the Coun cil is right ; and if Mr. Lawrence had reflected for a moment he need not have had to confess that "he must how to Mr. Evans, as he generally had to do in all things." Men who feel themselves right, and have well considered their position and projects, ought not to be under the necessity of bowing to any body. The same observations may apply to the projected disposal of a portion of the Wallasey property, with respect to which the Chairman of the Finance Com mittee had to " bow" again. A measure, involving questions of such magnitude as those involved in the sale of the Cheshi e estate, ought to be well considered and publicly discussed, not only that the entire body of the Council may have an opportunity of expressing a matured opinion respecting it, but that the community should be enabled to learn, before it is too late, the projects and doings of their repre sentatives. We make these remarks with no ill-feeling to wards the members of the committee themselves, or any of them, and with no reference to the good or evil policy of the plans recommended. Our object is only to protest against a habit, which appears to us to be growing, of transacting all the most im portant business of the public in committee, and, of course, with closed doors, leaving to the Council only the opportunity, which is seldom embraced, of reviewing such committee's decision. MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—In our remarks last week, upon the coming Municipal Election, we were in error in stating that eleven Conservatives and five Radicals retired in November. The num bers should have been twelve and four ; and this even strengthens our opinion then expressed, with respect to the necessity of prompt and vigorous ex ertion amongst the Conservative party. The follow ing are the names of the retiring members Everton Scotland W. Whig. Vauxhall H. Copeland .... Conservative. St. Paul's . . . . Blundell . .... Conservative. Exchange....... 5and5........

WILLIAM BROWN, ESQ., AND THE ANTI MONOPOLY PEOPLE.-A fter a considerable quan tity of coaxing and wheedling on the part of this association, we find that the late member for Ever ton Ward, William Brown, Esq., has accepted the office of its vice-president, and, better still, contri buted the sum of f5O " to aid and assist" in the spread of free-trade opinions. Whilst doing this, however, Mr. Brown has taken the opportunity of giving the gentlemen and others composing the as sociation a fillip or two which ought to be useful to them. They are not, he says, "to upbraid the present or any other administration with the injus tice of these anti-monopoly laws." They are not to " impugn the motives" of those who differ from them. They are to discuss the question or ques tions at issue " without saying a harsh word of any one," and to beware of " over zeal," and " warmth of expression,"—and he might have added false hoods,—which " injure their cause." We rather fear the association has scarcely intellect enough and modesty enough to receive, as it ought to be received, their new vice-president's rebuke. Empty vessels make the greatest noise ; and men who have the smallest quantity of argument to urge, are ever the most ready to resort to the co u r se which Mr. Brown deprecates so forcibly. AMERICAN FREIGHTS.—We recently mentioned the improvement which had begun to be visible in the freights by the American ships ; and we are glad to say, that this token of increasing commerce with the United States has not diminished. In proof of this it may be stated, that the New York packet-ship Montezuma sailed on Wed nesday, taking freight amounting to upwards of £737. She has also 15 cabin passengers, and 139 in the steerage. THE-MURDER OF MR. 8188 Y.—A rumour was very generally circulated on Saturday that John Anderson, who was convicted at the assizes for having knowingly become possessed of the notes stolen at the Preston Guild, had declared since his conviction that if any hope of a commu tation of his punishment of transportation for the term of 14 years were held out to him, he would give a clue to the murderer of the late Mr. Bibby. The report, however, wants confirmation. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—As everything re lating to the harvest is at the p resen t ti me pecu li ar ly in teresting, we have obtained, from a gentleman prac tically versed in agricultural matters, some informa tion which we lay before our readers. Our inform ant has just returned from a rural ride through Stafford shire, Warwickshire, Shropshire, and other midland coun ties, and also this county and Cheshire. The weather in these districts, as well as, it may be said, throughout the kingdom, has, for the last fortnight, been most propitious for the maturing and gathering of the corn crops. In Shropshire nearly all is already got in ; and in the midland counties generally above three-fourths. In Lancashire above one-half, and in Cheshire rather more was secured by Saturday last. The crops are considered everywhere above an average, particularly the wheat. The quality, too is good ; for though this result was for some time doubtful, the whole improved rapidly during the last three weeks. We congratulate our readers on this prospect, or rather assurance of abundance. In the southern corn counties, as might be expected from the favour able state of the northern, the grain has all been got in in good order; and, notwithstanding the present low prices, some of the farmers, apprehensive of a further fall, have had their wheat thrashed in the field, and hurried it to market to secure the present currency, perhaps wisely considering that " a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Even in the more sheltered and produc tive parts of Scotland and Wales the harvest is in rapid progress. The other field crops are going on well, in_ eluding turnips and potatoes. At one time the turnips were considered almost a failure from the badness of the weather, and the ravages of the fly ; but the late sown crops have turned out well. There is, in fine, a general and great improvement in field products ; and as the abundance of roots and other articles has an effect on the value of wheat, it is not improbable that when that article comes largely into the market a considerable further re duction in price will have to be submitted to. THE HON. EAST INDIA COMPANY ' S IRON STEAME R " LOODIIIANA."—having, a few days ago, seen in our river a most uncommon looking steam vessel, with two chimneys, and very much resembling a huge Indian canoe, we have made some inquiries about her, and have ascer tained the following particulars :—She was built by Mr. Laird, of North Birkenhead, for the Hon. East India Company, and is intended for the navigation of the Indian rivers. Her length is 160 feet, and her beam 21 feet. She has a pair of 45-horse engines, by George Forrester and Co. ; and such is her length, width, and flatness, that her draft of water—with her engines, coal, and all stores on board will be only 1 foot 101 inches ! Her speed by log has been found to be 111- knots an hour, beating every ferry boat on the river Hollow. With two loaded flats at her tail, she went through it at from 9to 91 knots. The Chairman, Deputy Chairman, and several of the Directors of the East India Company camc from London, especially to try her powers of speed, steaming, and steering, on Thursday last ; and after a trip to Rnacorn and back and a run to the Rock Light house, they went ashore, it is reported, expressing them selves highly satisfied with her performances in all points. Her steering and turningare most remarkable. Whengoing straight, she scarcely requires the helm to be moved ; and she will turn in her own length. She is entirely on a new construction, unlike anything that has yet been built; and, from her success, will probably give rise to a new era in the shape of river craft, and lead to important improve ments and practical discoveries in what may be termed surface-sailing. She has a rudder at her bow as well as aft. The engines will be taken out, and the hull separated in pieces, so that she may be sent to India by ship. Her extraordinary appearance has excited much curiosity here ; and amongst some of our old seamen not a little good hu moured remark ; but when they have seen her running at full speed, they have confessed that though " a rum one to look at, she is a good one to go." Should she be again tried before being taken to pieces, we will give a more minute account of her. NON-ARRIVAL OF THE INDIAN MAIL, Considerable anxiety begins to be felt amongst the mercantile community, and others interested, in conse quence of the non-arrival of what is called the `• over land" mail from India, via Egypt, which has been due for about a week ; and as great regularity has hitherto cha racterised the conveyances employed, the long delay on this occasion, which is ascertained to have arisen on the voyage between Bomboy and Suez, has given rise to some apprehensions for the safety of the vessel then on the sta tion. We are glad, therefore, to have it in our power to allay, to a considerable extent at least, those apprehen sions, from some information relative to the nature of the navigation of the Arabian Sea, which we gathered on Fri day last at this port, from the conversation of some gen tlemen conversant wifh the subject, and among whom were several of the Directors of the Hon. East India Company, including their respected and talented chair man. It appears that the monsoons, or periodical south-west winds, blow with great violence over the Indian Ocean during six successive months of the year, (beginning in April,) frequently causing a sea as heavy as that in the Atlantic during a " north-wester." During their con tinuance it has been customary for steamers coming from Bombay to Suez, in order to make easier held against these winds to make a long tack to the south ward where the monsoons are light, (in the place of stretching right across the Arabian Sea) ; then to cross westwardly, towards the African coast ; and, finally, to proceed northward to Eden. at the bottom of the Red Sea. This course, though circuitous, was considered the surest for steamers that were until recently on the station, and which were not of very large burthen or power. Two or three attempts were made some time ago by steamers to cross direct to Eden in the face of the monsoon ; but they failed—one of them (the Simwamis, if we mistake not) from her fuel becoming exhausted, and another from some casualty to her machinery,—in either of which cases there was no alternative but to up helm and run back before the wind. Now, it is known that a new and more powerful steam-ship than those hitherto employed lately arrived at Bombay—the steam-frigate Memnon, of the same s 7 ze and power as our Halifax and Boston mail ships—namely, 1,200 tons burthen, with 400 horse-power engines. Accounts have been received that this was the vessel appointed to bring the mails, now due, from Bom bay; and that the commander had expressed his confi dence in her capability to make the passage to Eden by a direct course against the head winds, and his determination to attempt it. That he did so appears, therefore, to be highly probable ; and that he failed f.om one or other of the causes that balked his prede cessors in the same adventure, is erually so. But a breakage in the engine-room, or a want of fuel would by no means involve the safety of those on hoard ; and we strongly conjecture, that after getting well over to the Affrican shore, he found from one or other of the causes named, or a combination of both, that he had no resourse but to return. Even if he had reached within 20 miles of Aden, or anv other point in Affrica, that necessity would have been the same, as he could find no steam-tug to assist him to port in the lonely expense of the Indian Ocean. There would be nothing for it but to set sail and return to the Hindostan side. And, as the distance is great, and he would himself carry the news of his misfortune, the probability is that we shall have no mail until the next he due. We find the view we have taken of the matter is adopted to a considerable extent by a Manchester con temporary, who states that he also derived his informa tion from individuals connected with India. In consequence of the non .arrival of the Memnon at Suez, or even at Aden, the Lady Mary Wood left Alex andria on the 29th ult. for England, with no letter and only one passenger. THE BOROUGH SESSIONS At these sessions, which terminated on Thursday, the cases were for the most part of an uninteresting nature. The following are, however, worthy of notice: — ASSAULT AT THE WORKHOUSE.— OR Wednesday, William Smith, a refractory pauper, was tried for an aggravated assault, with a hammer, on the governor and another officer of the workhouse, the particulars of which we furnished as they transpired at the police-court a fortnight ago. The evidence was confined almost ex clusively to the assault itself, but it again appeared that the surgeon of the establishment had omitted to examine the prisoner on his last going into the house, when he complained of an ailment which he said rendered him un fit for hard work, and his story not being credited, a hammer was put into his hands to break stones, with which he immediately afterwards committed the assault— which was proved. The jury accordingly found him guilty, appending to their verdict an expression of their regret that no surgical examination had been trade before he was ordered to the work stated. The Recorder, after a strong address on the frequent disorderly and violent conduct of the prisoner, who, he added, might have left the house if he felt himself aggrieved, and obtained re dress by applying to the magistrates, sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to labour for twelve months. CHARGE OF FELONY AGAINST A DRUGGIST AND HIS WIFE.—On Thursday, Exebia Shaw, wife of Alexander Shaw, formerly assistant to the late Mr. Scott, surgeon and druggist, Mill-street, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a pair of silver sugar-tongs, a pewter tea pot, and a tray, the property of John Abraham, the executor of the deceased gentleman. The case as it ap peared at the police-court was detailed in our last. Some other small articles, which she was then also charged with stealing, were not exhibited against her in this indictment. It was not proved on the trial with any degree of certainty that she had taken those named with a felonious intent, and it was shown that she had for many years been a favourite servant of Mr. Scott, who had by his will left her a bedstead and bedding, which she had not yet re ceived. An amount of wages was also due to her which had not been paid. The Recorder. in summing up, sug gested that she might have taken the articles in ignorance, and with an intention to restore them. The circumstance of her delivering up the sugar-tongs to a police-officer, and stating, in reply to him, that they were Mr. Scott's, was also in her favour. Three ladies also gave the pri soner an excellent character for years, as being beloved by all who knew her, and nothing had ever before appeared or was known against her. The jury took this favourable view of the matter, and acquitted her. There was another similar indictment against her for other articles, but it was abandoned ; as was also one against her husband, charging him with stealing a small balance and scale. On these, both prisoners were formally acquitted by the jury, and discharged. This was the last case requiring the services of the jury, and they were discharged with thanks. After the disposal of the criminal business, a civil case came on which was looked for with considerable interest by mercantile and nautical men, as involving a point in dispute as to the respective duties and responsibilities of pilots and pier -masters. It was : APPEAL.—LANCASTER V. RUSHTON, ESQ. AND OTHERS. It will be remembered by our nautical readers, that in the beginning of December last year, a case was brought before Mr. Rushton at the Police -court, in which the complainants, owners of the schooner Enterprise, claimed an amount for damages done to that vessel by contact with the pier -head, while in the Queen's Dock basin, alleged to have arisen from the carelessness or misma nagement of the pilot on board at the time. A question arose as to whether the pilot was to obey the pier -master, or to act, in such a situation on his own discretion, and the evidence being heard, Mr. Rushton, who called in Mr. Askew, the harbour-master, to assist him with his advice, decided that the pilot, Cornelius Lancaster, a pilot's apprentice, and the now appellant, was the party at fault, and adjudged that he should pay the damage. Mr. P. Wright was attorney for the pilot on that occasion, and Mr. Moss for the owners of the vessel, and on the appeal being brought before the Recorder. Mr. James appeared as counsel for the appellant, and Mr. Cardwell for the defendant. Mr. Wright was called as a witness, and stated what had occurred in court as to the decision, adding that he then orally stated that he should appeal for Kirkdale and Liverpool. Ey'dence of the necessary notices in writing, of appeal, was then gone into, and a long argument took place between the two barristers as to the notices being in strict compliance with the statute, which requires that the party shall appeal within a month after the cause of complaint, first giving ten days notice in writing of the intention to appeal. The question that arose was, whether the appellant was bound or not to give the notices before the expiration of the month. For the appellant it was argued that the notices (though the appeal was respited by mutual consent from session to session at Kirkdale, and afterwards at the borough sessions) was such as met all the requirements of the act. On the other hand it was strongly urged for the defendant that the notices were not legal, according to the true interpretation of the act, and cases were quoted on• both sides. Finally the Recorder expressed his doubts on the question, (which had nothing to do with the merits of the case,) and suggested that the parties should if pos sible come to some arrangement, without urging him to give his own judgment on the point. After some com munication it was agreed that, on payment of a sum by the appellant to the owners of the vessel in full of their damages and costs, the conviction should be quashed, so that the main question as to the respective duties and liabilities of pilots and pier -masters in such cases still remains undecided. The Recorder afterwards said that had he been urged, he should have decided that the notice was not strictly with in the letter of the law, and was therefore bad. THE GAME LIST. - Our Liverpool friends appear to preserve their character for attention to the interests of commerce, for we know not to what else to attribute the rather remarkable circumstance, that there is not the name of a single gentleman belonging to this town amongst those whose names appear in another column as " licensed destroyers" of the feathered tribe. TIIE HALE FLORAL AND HORTICULTURAL SHOW will take place on Thursday next, and it is anticipated will be veil splendid, and more numerously attended than on any former occasion. Prizes will also be distributed amongst the inhabitants for the best cultivated gardens, and the neatest and cleanest cottages, and those who would enjoy a treat in one of the sweetest and most ancient and interesting villages in Lancashire, would do well to attend. We beg to refer our readers to an advertizement of a meeting in the Amphitheatre of the friends of the Free Church of Scotland' The Deputation are some of the most distinguished men in that Church ; and the object of their present appeal is to enable them to erect churches not only for the numerous congregations who have seceded along with their ministers, but for those also who have seceded without their ministers—in all 800—for 600 of which counties are required before winter. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES STEAM.FRIGATE MISSOURI BY FIRE. The splendid new steam-ship Bentinck arrived at Cadiz from Gibraltar on the 31st ult., bringing the intelligence of the total destruction by fire of one of the finest vessels of which the United States navy could boast. The fol lowing is the official notification forwarded to her Ma jesty's Consul at Cadiz : " Port of Gibraltar, 27th of August, 1843. "The American steam-frigate of war Missouri unfor tunately caught fire in the course of the past night, and burnt down to the water's edge, between the Orange and Montague batteries, in four fathoms of water ; and as it is impossible to remove her now, she having gone to the bottom, and being anchored there, all captains of vessels who may enter the bay at night are thus advised, lest it should happen that, through bad weather or any other in cident, the light should be extinguished, which will be fixed over the place where she is sunk. " W. TrromPsosr, Acting Captain of the Port." The Missouri carried 28 guns, and was pierced for 44. The crew was entirely saved through the active interven tion of her Majesty's steamer Locust, which immediately repaired to the spot, attracted by a spectacle of such ex traordinary and disastrous brilliancy. The burning vessel threw a glare over the entire rock, illumining in the midst of the night the various points and batteries, and throw ing its reflection over the bay as far as Algesiras. The black hull and dark spars and rigging stood out in the midst of the intense glare of light with a fine but porten tous effect, and the roar of the fire was intermingled with the discharge of guns of distress, which soon, however, ceased in the despair created by the awful rapidity with which the flames increased their ravages, and made all hu man efforts unavailing. The Locust got up her steam immediately, and arrived just in time to rescue the crew from the fate which awaited them. So rapid was the progress of the flame from the moment it burst forth, that by the time the Locust reached her side she had burnt down nearly to the water's edge. The Missouri had on board a very large quantity of gunpowder, and to prevent the dangerous effects of an explosion, it was judged advi sable to scuttle her, which was successfully accomplished without delay, when she instantly disappeared. The Missouri was bound for Canton, with the new Am bassador sent from the United States to the Emperor of China, together with the gentlemen of his embassy and suite. The fire was occasioned by combustion of the large cargo of coal which the Missouri was obliged to carry. This combustion had been going on for a con siderable time, and upon its discovery a quantity of water was thrown upon the coal, which bad the effect of appa rently extinguishing the flame. But it was, in fact, merely smothered ; and upon its breaking out a second time, it was found to have gained such head that no efforts could arrest its progress. How the fire was first communicated to the mass of coal has not been ascertained. The fire engines were worked with great vigour, and other means resorted to to throw a quantity of water on the flames, but in vain. By dint of considerable exertions many va luable effects were saved, and put on hoard the Locust, including 50,000 dollars of specie. The vessel was of im mense capacity, her register being of nearly 2,000 tons, and her crew was very numerous. WATERPROOF Boors.—We have this week had the pleasure of seeing an exceedingly neat specimen of a waterproof boot, manufactured by Mr. Russell, of Duke street, whose advertisement will be found in another co lumn ; but owing to a press of local matter, we must defer our notice of it until next week. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. A gala of extraordinary splendour took place at this deservedly popular resort yes terday evening. The brilliancy of the,lights was perfectly dazzling. The same entertainments will be repeated on Friday next, when we feel confident that all who attend will be as gratified as we were ourselves. BARRISTERS.—We learn, from an authentic source, that the barrister of longest standing in England is Char les Saville Oxley, Esq. (originally " Harvay") but who changed his name. lie was called to the bar on the 21th April, 1780. Our respected townsman, Mr. Venables, is also of long standing, he having become a barrister on the 23rd of Nov. 1797. GOOD NEWS FOR THE PARTRIGES.—It iS a circum stance worthy of observation that whereas, up to the date in 1811, the number of Game Licenses taken out in the County of Lancaster was 1190, and in 1842 the number was 1216, to the corresponding period of the present year only 316 licenses have been taken out, or about a fourth of the average of the preceding years. We know not to what we must attribute the falling off in the numbers of our Sporting fraterniy. Bad times cannot be pleaded, for we are certainly better off this year than in either 1841 or 1242. THE AMPHITHEATRE.—We last week noticed, that during Miss Whitnall's concert at this large and com modious place of amusement, a portion of the platform over the circle had given way, causing considerable alarm— and alarm only—whieh quickly subsided. We learn that the whole of the carpentery and fittings have since been so remodelled, under the superintendance of Mr. J. H. Gray, architect, that no apps ehensions need be entertained of their solidity and safety —as was proved last night, by the immense attendance at the vocal concert, elsewhere noticed. In the way of literature, everybody is talking about an article in the Quarterly published on Tuesday. It is in defence of ministers from Whigism on the one hand and " Young England" on the other. We purposed extract ing largely from it, but space forbids. We must not omit to mention that Mr. Murray is about to carry out a spi rited suggestion of his father's, by publishing some of our standard works at a cheap rate, under the title of " Colo nial and Home Library." The series will commence with " Southey's Life of Nelson," the most perfect and de lightful biography in our language. SINGING FOR THE MILLION.—We had a littie con tempt for this new species of performance ; but an at tendance upon Mr. Crowe's classes yesterday evening, at the Amphitheatre, agreeably disappointed us. Nothing could be much better than the precision with which the children assembled performed their various parts ; and some of the pieces, in which adults took part, were as well sung as could have been expected from more prac tised voices. The house was crammed with a fashionable audience; and upon the platform we noticed a number of the clergy, and several of the most influential merchants of the town. THE MAGICIAN AT THE LIVER THEATRE. —We imagined that it was impossible greatly, if at all, to beat the great Magician of the North—Anderson. But we were mistaken. Mr. Sutton is quite his equal in sleight of-hand, and is superior in many of the tricks and per formances which he brings before the public. His auto maton " Tom " is inimitable. The little rascal is only too life-like in his drollery. The entire of the per formances in ventriloquism are indeed first rate. But to ourselves, the charm of Mr. Sutton's exhibition is his performance on the two instruments, which for the first time he has brought before our notice. The taste of the performer, and his proficiency, are well worth the price of the night's amusement ; and this has been evidenced by the tumultuous encores with which they have been honoured. We would advise every reader to pay the Liver Theatre a visit. THE FUNDS, SATURDAY EVENING.—The English stocks closed firmly this evening at an advance of nearly one quarter per cent. on previous prices, a few purchases having given increased confidence to speculators. Con sols for money and the account closed 95+ to *; Exche quer Bills, 625. to 645. premium ; India Stock, 2653 to 2661 ; and New Three-and-a -Half per Cents., 1081 to 1. Although in the foreign market there was not much busi ness transacted, firmness was more generally apparent. The advance in Mexican, occasioned by yesterday's re action, was maintained to-day, and the operators for the fall have been checked in consequence of buyers coming in at the low prices. A decline of nearly three per cent. in this security during the last week was no trifling matter to parties who have ao interest in its position in the market ; and hence, though the Bears prevailed on the first expression of doubts concerning the payment of the dividend, they do not appear likely to have much longer the business all their own way. The settling day approaches, and, should the discovery be made that they have oversold themselves, Mexican will stand a chance of recovering its value, even before any official announce ment can he made whether the dividend will or will not be paid. The last prices to-day were 361 to a for the Actives, and 10/ to for the Deferred. Spanish Actives closed 18/ to 19; the Three per Cents., 268 to 4 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 521 to 31; the Five per Cents., 101 to 4 ; Danish, 86 to 87 ; Colombian, 25+ to 253 ; Brazilian, 74 to 75 ; Portuguese, 42+ to 434; and Belgian, 104.1 to /054. ALLEGED CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.—OD Saturday two rather good-looking little boys, one about seven and the other about nine years old, and in the Workhouse dress, were placed herore Mr. Rushton, that their case might he investigated. Their father and mother were also in court. Mr. Dowling stated, that from having learned on Friday afternoon great excitement prevailed in Concert -street, in consepuence of a rumour that two children were confined naked in a garret by their step-mother, the wife of a blacksmith named 1A ashington. Lie went to the place and there found the children almost in a state of nudity, and in great destitution of bedding, but not apparently suffering from want of food. inspector Campbell had previously with difficulty obtained admission into the house, and found them in the state described. The children were sent to the workhouse, and the father and stepmother to the Police-office, The latter, it was said, had in the absence of her husband, who was some weeks in gaol for debt, had converted the house into a brothel, and neglected the children. The father explained that he had been unlucky in getting work, and that he had been thrown into gaol, from which he had only got out on Thursday, and that he could not provide clothing for the children, who, it appeared, got some food from the neigh bours. He declared he did not know that his wife had kept the house as stated, and he never sanctioned such conduct. He intended to resume Lis work as a horse shoer, as soon as he could get anything to do, Mr. Rushton, who had found that there were no marks of violence on the children, said they must be taken care of by the parish until the father could provide for them. He stated that the father's case should also be inquired into, and relief given if he were found to be destitute. On the part of the mother there was no excuse, as she had been, to say the least, grossly negligent, and if she con tinued to keep the house as stated, she would be prose cuted. The parties then proceeded to the parish-office, where the case would be fully investigated. DESTRUCTIVE FIRR AT FIGHELDEAN, WILTS.—On Thursday evening last a fire broke out on the farm of Mr. Mills, at Figheldean, near Amesbury, which is said to have originated from the circumstance of a child playing with lucifer matches in a barn. Several ricks of corn were des'royed, also two barns; and, in despite of all human efforts, the flames soon extended to the roofs of some two or three humble cottagtes, and burnt their inhabitants to the whole of the damage is calculated roughly at £7OOO, LATEST NEWS FItOM SPAIN be °l ----- _tO . 11 , Advices have been received from Barcelona_.a 0 c,., instant.
