Mons. L. takes the present opportunity to return his grateful thanks for the extensive patronage and kindness he experienced during his former visits, and considers it his duty to state that various arrangements at his establishments in London and Paris will preclude the possibility of his revisiting . this town for a very long period, so that those who may require his pro fessional services should not lose the present favourable op pornity.

The steam-ship Unicorn left Glasgow on Saturday, (where for the last four months she has been receiving a thorough repair in machinery and hull,) to resume her station between St. John's and Halifax. THE ILL-FATED EMIGRANT SHIP OMEGA.—On Friday it was announced at Portsmouth, that this unfortunate ship, which was supposed to have foundered after the emi grants, 336 in number, had been taken out of her, and nearly 200 of whom subsequently, yerished by the wreck of the Barbara, on the American coast, has been passed, perfectly sound, 80 miles west of the Scilly Lights, by the bark Franklin. Not a soul was on board, and the vessel was drifting with the currents, leaving little doubt that, had the emigrants remained on board, every one would have been saved. The bulk of the unfortunate people who perished were natives of Bradford. THE PRIESTS AND AGITATION.—There are some more rather equivocal symptoms stirring of the faith that should be placed in the abstinence of the Roman Catholic clergy from the movement just now in progress in Ireland. The Cork Examiner re-publishes the declaration in favour of Repeal adopted by the diocese of Cloyno and Ross, " for tified" with the signatures of the bishop and 140 of his clergy ; all, in fact. The Examiner, also, says—" Th e Roman Catholic bishop and clergy of the diocese of Water ford and Lismore have adopted a petition to the Queen in favour of sOf-government. Our correspondent says that ' the document is a perfect identification of themselves, come weal come wo, with the people.' " EXTRAORDINARY PIECE OF MUSICAL MECHANISM.— Our townsman, Mr. Smith, of Lord-street, who has long been the first in this town to introduce novelties con nected with music, has kindly afforded us an opportunity of inspecting and witnessing the operation of a new and most ingenious, though simple, piece of mechanism, called the Antiphonel, which, when fixed on the harmonium, the organ, and the piano -forte, enables persons quite unacquainted with music to play any air, tune, overture, or piece, provided only that the parties be supplied with books. The invention is peculiarly adapted to churches, as by means of it the best compositions may be given, in strict accompaniment with the voices—the only requisite in the player being . a correct ear as t o ti me . This invention must be seen in order duly to appreciate its simplicity and excellence. THE NEW STEAM-SHIP UNITED STATES.—On Satur day afternoon, at half-past four, the new steam-ship United States, under the command of Capt. Hackstaff, arrived in this port, from New York, after a successful trip across the Atlantic of thirteen days fifteen hours. She is the first American steamer propelled by paddle wheels that has entered the Mersey. On Sunday she steamed into the C2bourg Dock. The United States is a fine-looking vesse , lthe hull being formed more after the style of the New York packet-ships than the model adop ted in the construction of British steamers. She is built very full both fore and aft, which gives the vessel great length of flooring and increased buoyancy. She has three masts, barque rigged. She has two powerful engines, with 80-inch cylinders, and 9 feet stroke. They are the largest engines made in the United States, and are sup plied with steam from four boilers Besides stowage for 860 tons of coal, there is room for 800 to 1,000 tons of freight. She has ample accommodation for one hun dred and sixty cabin passengers : the saloon is eighty feet long and fitted up with two rows of dining tables. We understand she is destined for the New York and Havre line. Captain Hackstaff, the commander of this splendid vessel, received from the passengers who came over with him a most gratifying testimonial, not less de. served by his own merits than those of the fine steam ship which he commands. Loss OF THE GENERAL WOOD CONVICT SHIP. — DREADFUL BUTCHERIES. — In addition to what has al. ready appeared as to the loss of this vessel, it appears from a letter written by Lieutenant Seymour, a psssenger, that on the night of the 2nd January last, the day on which the General Wood sailed from Sincapore to Penang settlement, a mutiny of the convicts took place. The captain and the officers were all murdered or thrown over board. The fate of Mr. Gill, the mate, was peculiarly horrible. Lieut. Seymour says, this unfortunate officer, after being severely wounded by the convicts, made his way to the door of the cabin in which the passengers were assembled, and was, for the moment, rescued from the convicts and dragged inside the cabin by the captain. After lying on the deck some time, suffering from his wounds, and being apprehensive of further ill-usage, he crawled to the galley window, and thence threw himself into the sea. Lieut. Seymour had himself a very narrow escape ; he was forced overboard, but contrived, though wounded by a cutlass, to get hold of a rope, and conceal himself in the gig, where he was discovered in the morn ing, and being recognised as a passenger, and not an officer, he was ordered on deck, and his life spared. The crew were all, or nearly all, murdered or drowned. The lives of the passengers were spared. The convicts navi gated the vessel until the 20th of January, when they came in sight of the Great Natunas, and on the following morning they ran her on a rock near Palo Salaout, on the island of Bungarow. They left about thirty Lascars. twenty convicts, and those of the crew who had not been previously massacred, on board the vessel, which shortly afterwards went down in deep water, and took to the boats, the passengers being with them. , They re ac h e d the island at sunset, where they were welt received by the Malays, who afforded them assistance, and proposed to send them to the Rajah. This, however, was objected to oy the convicts. In the meantime, the passengers having acquainted the Malays with the real character of the parties, the Malays took part with the passengers, and succeeded in rescuing them from the convicts. The con victs then took to their boats, leaving about twenty of their number behind, who have been made prisoners. Excellence is never granted to man but as the reward of labour. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. Monday Evening. The suspension of business on Good Friday, and in some cases on the following day, brings our late commercial intelligence almost into the narrow compass of to-day's transactions, which will be found below. Generally speaking we continue in a very unsettled state. The Con tinent keeps in a turmoil, and with the exception of Bel gium, where filings are assuming a healthy and improving aspect, trade still " Like a wonnded snake, drags its slow length along." Affairs in Denmark are evidently coming to a crisis, and we daily expect news of a great battle having been fought; the adverse forces in Italy are also becoming more con centrated, and something decisive may presently take place in that quarter. And certainly, as the parties seem determined to fight, the sooner they come to a final set tlement the better. The Hamburgh Borsenhalle of April 20, states that, although the funds and share market were animated, and prices firm, great fear still existed that if the allied troops defeated the Danes, the Elbe would be blockaded. It appears, however, that some convention between the two parties still exists. On our own Stock Exchange the English funds have a tendency upwards, which, if not continually checked by teasing reports of anticipated disturbances of the peace in this country and Ireland, might be attended with marked results. On Thursday consols reached 83, but fell to 82i a before the close of the day's business, owing to some bubble rumour; on Saturday they opened a shade below the closing prices of Thursday, but at the termination of business the mar ket had recovered from this depression. The first quota , tion of Consols, for money was 82 toy„ while for the ac count they were 811 to 821. The fluctuations throughout the morning were very slight, and, the demand for stock on the part of the public still continuing, an advance took place to 821 to for money, and 824-- to I for the account, at which they left off. The foreign stock market was comparatively quiet on Saturday, and prices generally, with the exception of Spanish, which, I improved a shade, underwent no material alteration: It will be seen, from the returns given in another part of this article, that up to the 15th instant a considerable decrease had taken place in the amount of bullion in the Bank of England. This reduction in the bullion has not produced much effect on the Stock market, it having been previously anticipated that it would be large. One-half of the amount is believed to have been sent to Ireland, and the remainder has been taken partly in receipt of dividends, and partly for export to the continent. No variation has occurred in the rates for money. The SHARE MARKET of the past week has been uni formly good, with prices steadier than for any seven days for some time. There has not been any considerable advance, but there not being much stock offered, what was offered found buyers at fair prices, and in this state the market closes, sellers being able to effect sales without causing a further depression, which is certainly an im proved state of things. London Stock 127 128; Mid land, 97 98 ; York and North Midland, 641 ; South eastern and Dover, 22. Our Stock Exchange has been closed since Thursday evening for the Easter holidays. We give a detailed list of quotations elsewhere. The CORN MARKET here is firm for Wheat, Oats, and Indian Corn, and in other articles we have no change to note. The weather still continues unfavourable for the seed time, and in some parts of the country farmers com plain of the wet being too much for the Wheat plants, which begin to look ill, although we have heard little complaint yet in this neighbourhood. The country mar kets keep steady; Newcastle is a little lower, but other markets on the east coast keep up in price ; and full prices are generally demanded here. COLONIAL MARKETS.—The demand for Sugar con tinues good. The sales to-day are 250 hhds. Barbadoes, and a few Pernams. There is a fair enquiry for low Ben gals, at or about 375., but few parcels are offering. Rice is a shade easier. Saltpetre very flat, to sell lower prices would have to be taken. Rum and Molasses still quiet. —ln Manchester the market for all descriptions of sugar shews a firmer tendency, and a more general disposition to purchase is evinced, sales having been made at rather improving prices ; and there has been a fair inquiry for some descriptions of raw silk, chiefly for Tay saams and fine Tsatlees, but no alteration can be quoted in prices.—The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the returns made in the week end , ing the 18th instant, exclusive of duty, was—from the British Possessions in America, 225. 10d. per cwt. ; Mau ritius, 21s. 22d. per cwt.; East Indies, 245. 21-d. per cwt. ; the average price of these three descriptions being 229.21 d. —The total export of tea from China to Great Britain, from Ist July, 1847, to the 24th Feb., 1848, ls—black, 35,885,2101 b. ; green, 3,813,8201b.—t0ta1, 39,699,0301 b. The total exports of silk during the same period were 17,089 bales. Although there was a fair demand throughout last week for CorroN, both from the trade and exporters, the pres sure upon the market of the late arrivals, combined with the accounts of large receipts in the United States, caused a decline in the low and middling qualities of American (of which the bulk of the import lately has consisted) of id. 'is lb ; the fair to good qualities, which have been much sought after by Exporters, have on the contrary fully main tained their price. There has been a fair inquiry from the trade TO-DAY, the sales about 4500 bales, chiefly Ameri can, without change, or any new feature to comment upon. The market continues to be freely supplied, with out, at the same time, any appearance of pressing sales be yond the demand. Exporters have taken about 1,000 bales. —The imports of Cotton wool, for the week ending April 15th, were—into Liverpool, 33,585 bales; London, 167 ; Hull and Bristol, 0 ; total, 33,752 ; which, added to that previously imported this year, gives a total of 361,38,6, against 389,236 imported during the same period last year. The exports for the week ending April 14, were—from Li verpool, 327 ; London, 160 ; Hull, 43 ; total. 530 ; which. added to that previously exported this year, amounts to 15,920, against 25,713 exported during the same period last year.—The prices of Cotton were steady last week in Manchester, at previous quotations, up to the receipt of advices from America by the Caledonia, of declining prices there, and a general consternation in the markets caused by receipt of the French intelligence, when a more gene ral disposition was manifested by holders to realize, and the market declined fully sd. per lb., closing very heavily on Thursday. With the exception of a small sale of East India, which went off satisfactorily, there has been nothing at all done in the WOOL MARKET thit week.—lmports of Foreign for the week : From Bombay, 2168; Oporto, 4; Lisbon, 141 ; Ensenada, 214 • Monte Video, 219 ; Trieste, 11 8 ; ' total, 2864 • previously, 19,757 ; general total, 22,621. Imports of Scotch for the week, 176 ; previously, 4916; total, 5092. The prices of leaf and manufactured TOBACCO remain the same as last week. _ The TIMBER TRADE here is at present exceedingly dull : at the auction sale on Thursday last there was a poor attendance, and very little business done ;-8 logs of Pitch Pine were sold at 20d. per foot, about 60 logs of good Elm at rad. to 18d. per foot, 57 logs of Quebec Oak at from 201 d. to 20111. per foot, some 2-inch spruce battens at 17id. per foot of 2 inches, 4 fathoms of Dantzic Lath wood at 85s. per fathom, and by private, 5,000 feet of Pitch Pine at 20d. per foot. The Scotch Pit , IRON market remains without change, little business having e been done in it during the week. Prices are however a shade firmer, and may be quoted 425. to 425. 6d. at Glasgow, according to numbers. The supply of IRISH BUTTER is at present quite inade quate to the wants of the market, and prices have gone up on this week's import (consisting of 2355 firkins and 743 crocks) 2s, per cwt. higher than late rates. Prices to-day (landed) ; Waterford 102 s. to 108 s, Carrick 104 s. to 108 s. -- ----- The most extensive business transacted during the past week in AMERICAN PROVISIONS has been for Lard, of which there were offered at public sale 278 tierces, 1,458 barrels, 4,913 kegs, which met a ready sale at a reduction of about ls. 6d. to 2s. per cwt. upon last week's prices, with the exception of about 1,300 kegs, which were with drawn, but which have since been sold, and 200 barrels not landed ; the prices realised were 38s. to 40s. for fair good quality to fine ; a few fine kegs realised 425. to 445. there is now very little in the market.—There have been few transactions during the week in Beef, stocks being much reduced, and holders firm.—The prime mess Pork lately received has been of inferior quality, and sales have been made at about the lowest quotation ; old prime is in good demand, and holders ask more money ; there is less inquiry for old mess in strips.—There has been a moderate import of Bacon, and the London market continuing to assist us, nearly all landed has been sold at full prices : some of the late arrivals have been damaged in the passage. Hams and shoulders are much inquired after, and would sell readily if the market was prepared with a supply : our receipts of this article have been for this season a mere trifle. Some pigs' heads have brought 20s. to 225. per cwt.—We have had no arrivals of Cheese this week, and consequently nothing of moment to report in that article. The following are the prices current : Cheese—(duty paid)—Fine, 48s to 50s per cwt. ; middling, 42s to 465; ordinary, 39s to 41s. Beef—U.S., (free)—Prime mess, per tree. 3041 b., 85s to 92s 6d; ordinary, "es to 83s, old 60s to 68s; extra, India, family, &c., 97s to 1055; ditto, per half-barrel, 30s to 35s ;—mess, per barrel, 2001 b., 50s to 568 ; ordinary, 408 to 465, old 36s to 40s ; prime, 34s to 365. Pork— U.S., (free}—Prime mess, per barrel, 2001 b., 55s to 725, old 488 to 565; prime, 40s to 455, old 358 to 40s; mess, family mess, &c., 5Ss to 635, old 48s to 525.

The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 15th instant, shews that, compared with the return for the previous week, the notes in circulation in the department of issue had decreased £842,915, which had been produced by the decrease of £858,679 of gold coin and bullion, and the increase of £15,782 of silver bullion. On the debit side of the banking department, the rest had increased £4,550, the public deposits had decreased £1,465,183, the private or other deposits had decreased X 10,900, and the seven-day and other bills had increased £17,896, making the total of liabilities £34,051,177. On the credit side, the government secu rities had increased £50,764, the other securities had de creased £310,319, the notes had decreased £1,198,820, and the gold and silver coin bad increased £4,738, which squared the account. The bullion in both departments had decreased from £14,602,431 to £13,764,254, being a difference of £838,177. The paper in actual circulation, including the seven-day and other post bills, had increased from £19,248,501 to £19,622,301, being a difference of £373,800. At Bombay, on the 14th ultimo, a better tone was pre vailing, and a pretty general feeling existed that the worst bad been got over, and as soon as the native holidays were over, a revival of business was confidently looked for. The transactions in cotton piece goods, though limited, were not more so than previously, while the inquiry pre vailing for some qualities of low grey goods, such as ma dapollares, jacconets, and 40-inch bhirtings, still continued, and all were scarce. In bleached goods, too, a fair in quiry existed for shirting and jacconets of low quality, and an advance on previous rates for the former, of from two to four annas per piece, had been established. Owing to the few arrivals, added to the desire manifested by native holders to ship cotton under the government advance, freights for Liverpool gradually rose from £4 ss. to £4 12s. 6d., at which rate engagements were entered into previous to the arrival of the last mail. The very favour able accounts received of the cotton market in England caused a further impetus, and £5 has been paid. For London we quote £4 155., and China 10 rs. per candy, at which rate engagements have been made. Owing to the scarcity of money, an advance has taken place, and bank paper at six months sight has been negotiated at Is. 10d., while for private bills with shipping documents Is. Ild. to Is. 11*d. may be considered the rate. On Calcutta, Bank of Bengal post bills have been negotiated at par ; our quotation for 30 days' sight bank paper is 291 rs. On China, for 60 days' sight, 206 rs. per 100 dol. At Calcutta, on the 7th ultimo, a considerably better feeling prevailed in the market for imports. The money market continued in much the same state. The terms on which loans were transacted were a shade more favourable, hut the security taken continued to be of the most tan gible character, and of a value leaving large margin for errors of appraisement. In exports there bad been a fair demand for staples, to be sent home as remittances, in stead of speculations—especially saltpetre. Sugar and indigo were less inquired after; rice in much the same state, and silk too highly priced to permit extensive ope rations. The import market improving, cotton piece goods finding freer vent, and twist rising in demand. Freights looking up. There were reports of some specu lations in tonnage, with an eye to a China war, and a be lief that government would be obliged to engage transports. The private advices by the Overland Mail, state that the markets for manufactured goods manifest a tendency towards an advance.—No new failures were announced either at Calcutta or Bombay. Messrs. Shearman, Mul - & Co. had announced a first dividend of 10 per cent. By the United States steamer which arrived here on Saturday evening, we have received intelligence from New York to the Bth April. The cotton market for the preceding week had been pretty steady, and although holders had freely supplied the current demand, prices stood almost exactly as they did a week back, though a comparison of quotations at the two dates showed a decline in some instances of c. per lb. The total receipts of cotton at all the shipping ports were 1,683,137 hales, against 1,450,225 to same dates last year—an increase this season of 232,912 bales. The total foreign export this year was 273,043 bales more than last —say 83,502 increase to Great Britain, 101,912 increase to France, 46,368 increase to north of Europe, and 41,261 in crease to other foreign ports. The shipments from southern to northern ports were 9,618 bales more this season than last; and there is an increase in stock of 35,969 bales. Prices were : Upland and Mobile, New Florida. Orleans, &Texas. 1900 bales. 1300 bales. Ordinary to good ordinary. 5/c. to &lc. .. 6c. to 6.1 e. Middling to good middling 6g-c.g-c. to 61c... 61c. to Rc. Middling fair to fair 6ic. to 7ic. The. to 74c. Fully fair to good fair . ne. to 74c. .. 74c. to 84-c. The operations in flour since the departure of the steam ship Caledonia had been quite light, and the market closed dull. ASHES.—The market for pots of this year's brand is steady at S 5 621 c., at which 200 barrels have been sold since our last; old may be quoted $5 50c. In pearls there has been nothing doing of late, and our quotation is entirely nominal ; the last sales, it is understood, were at 4'7 50c. Freights to Liverpool have been slack since our last, and but few engagements have been made, owing princi pally, perhaps, to the desire for later advices before mak ing further engagements, and partly because all ships soon to sail were engaged full. We notice small engagements of cotton at 3-16 d. to 4d. per lb. for square bales ; some heavy goods 15s. to 20s. ; 1000 barrels north country tur pentine at Is. 6d. ; and pork 2s. per barrel. Exchange.—There has been nothing done in foreign since our last. We quote as before, though now quite nominal. Messrs. Birley, Corrie and Co., of Manchester, whose failure was announced on the 3rd instant, have issued a statement of liabilities and assets. showing an estimated dividend of about 12s. 3d. in the pound. The capa bilities amount to £96.692 Bs. 2d., and the assets to £59,307 18s. sd. In submitting this statement, the firm propose that they should be allowed to liquidate under the superintendence of three inspectors; also that a release should be granted to them so soon as a dividend shall have been paid of ss. in the pound, it being understood that they will still faithfully continue their efforts to realise the remaining assets, so as to diminish, as far as possible, the ultimate loss that must be sustained. Messrs. Birley, Corrie and Co. remark that " The inference to be drawn from the statement is, that our present unfortu nate position is attributable to the severe losses we have sustained upon our East India trade, to the present diffi culty of finding a market for our large stock remaining there on hand, and, above all, to the dishonour of a very large proportion "of our remittances ; and it will be ob served that our means of satisfying our creditors substan tially depend upon our shipments not being sacrificed by forced sales, and upon the amount of dividend we may receive from the dishonoured remittances." A CIIARTIST IRONMONGER.-THE RIGHT TO SELL ARMS. Previous to the breaking up of the Police-court, on Thursday, Mr. Lawrence Reynolds, of Chartist and Repeal notoriety, stepped into the witness box, and, addressing Mr. Rushton, said he had a complaint to make against four officers and an inspector, for having entered and taken possession of his shop, and thereby put a stop to his busi ness. He said he was an ironmonger, carrying on business in Leeds-street. The police officers remained in his house for upwards of five hours, and then went away, but would not state by whose authority they were acting. Being asked what kind of ironmongery it was that he dealt in, he said that it consisted of small swords, &c. On the clerk's asking him his name, he said it was Lawrence Reynolds. Mr. Rushton : Oh, you are the celebrated Dr. Reynolds : you are acting in a very improper manner. The Doctor replied that " they had previousl " y weighed the matter before coming to the conclusion. The inquiry was postpored until the police officers could be summoned to attend. On Saturday, the case Was entered into, and excited so much interest. that the court was as much crowded, almost, as during the trials at the assizes. Mr. T. B. Horsfall, the Mayor, and Mr. Hugh Hornby sat with Mr. Rushton upon the bench. The charge was laid against Inspector Parkins and officers 160, 208, 491, and 2.15. Mr. Reynolds then made a statement, in answer to questions put to him by Mr. Rushton, (the substance of which may be gathered from Mr. Rushton's address at the close of the case.) Mr. Pletts (chairman of most of the Chartist meetings in this town) said that he had been requested by Dr. Reynolds to superintend the transmission of some weapons, " a species of knife," when they were stopped by the police. There were twenty-six dozen of the weapons. In answer to police-constable 208, this witness said that Dr. Reynolds had gone to his door with one of the swords in his hand, and declared its price. In reply to a query from one of the crowd, he said, " Their use is to cut bacon, or anything you like." He stated that the price was only 6111. each. Police-officer 160 stated, that when Dr. Reynolds was standing with a cutlass at the door, a man came up and asked him if he had any pistols for sale. He answered that he bad pistols and blunderbusses at 7s. 6d. each, and guns, with bayonets attached, 15s. each. The doctor chalked upon the window, " 7d. for swords." He (wit ness) and 491 went out to clear the mob from the foot walks, but they would not disperse, and he had to seek a reinforcement of officers from Vauxhall-road. A number of low characters were assembled before the house where the weapons were being taken, and the inhabitants of the neighbourhood were alarmed. At the close of the case, Mr. Rushton addressed the parties as follows:—lnspector Parkins, the charge as regards the other officers falls to the ground, because it appears, from the testimony of the complainant's own witness, that he had solicited them to go in ; they were, therefore, lawfully on the premises of Dr. Reynolds. You came afterwards, in consequence of word being passed that a disturbance was likely to take place in the street, and entered the house. When there, Dr. Rey nolds told you that he was master of the house, and asked , you (the exact form of words does not appear) what au- thority you had to enter? You answered that you had passed word to your superintendent, and would wait till he came. lle objected to your presence, and you should have gone out. An officer in any department of the police force should be prepared, under all circumstances, to obey strictly the requirements of the law. You had no business to remain there ; you were armed with no authority to enter, unless a crime had been committed. We are, therefore, of opinion, that you have exceeded your duty in this respect; but we are also of opinion that you have exceeded your duty under circumstances of very great extenuation. It is not to be disguised (said Mr. Rushton, elevating his voice,) that for a long time this town has been vexed by threats of arming and of open insurrec tion, and of having the dwellings and storehouses of this place burned, under certain contingents. The men who have given evidence against you to-day have been parties to these threats of insurrection and of burnings, which have alarmed the peaceable inha bitants and all Englishmen fond of the liberty of the country, anxious to see it supported, and, where it can be beneficially, extended. These are the men who have vexed us and have kept the town and the country in a state of alarm. It is, therefore, a matter of 'extenuation, of high extenuation, for you ; for we have been openly told that these arms should be used to resist the govern ment of the country. We have the most unquestionable testimony, that of Dr. Pletts himself, that Dr. Reynolds has repeatedly advised the people to arm, and be pre pared. Though this does not entirely justify you, allowing for the circumstances, the magistrates are contented to recora their sense of your having exceeded your duty in this matter, more especially as your whole conduct, at the time, seems to have been marked in other respects with propriety. Mr. Rushton, turning to Dr. Reynolds and Mr. Pletts, continued : It is rather too much that you, threatening to burn Liverpool under a contingency, and trying to get the loyal and peaceable workmen of this place to arm for bloodshed, should come here to complain of the slightest possible infraction of the law when affect ing yourselves. I caution you both, and I trust that my words of solemn warning may have an effect, that this must not be continued; that the peaceable. loyal, indus trious, and orderly people of this _town will not have these insulting threats held over them day by day. and I give you my word, as speaking on behalf of the magistracy, that, while we sit here, while there is a man left of us, these grievous aggressions against order and public liberty shall, when proved before us in a judicial shape, be visited with exemplary punishment. You have a space to pause ucw, and I caution you to pause in our career. If any thing should happen here, and it will not happen without our knowledge or our being prepared, we will hold you responsible for it. Dr. Reynolds : We are prepared for the responsibility. Mr. Rushton,: You shall have it. Dr. Reynolds, ( brusquely :) Nothing but granting the repeal of the union will satisfy me. Mr. Rushton : I have done my duty. It is for you to take care that what I have stated does not come to yon. Officers, act as you have done, with this exception, do not enter dwellings unless armed with authority; and take occasion to send to your head for instructions when re quired. The great error which you (the inspector) have committed 'was, going into the house. The other men were invited there. When the slightest objection was made you should have retired. . We wish that our force, the public force, for you are the servants of all the muni cipality, who pay you, shall, down to the lowest function ary, take particular care that there is not, on your part, the least, the slightest infringement of the law. Let no thinz abate your vigilance. Watch this thing carefully ; report it. We will be prepared for all That will come; and you may rely upon the magistrates. ' You have al ways competent officers to instruct you, and, if you have any doubts at any time, apply to them. Mr. Rushton's firm remarks appeared tolgive the live liest satisfaction. The court soon afterwards thinned, and other business was proceeded with. TRIBUTE OF ESTEEM TO W. M. FISHER, ESQ. Yesterday forenoon, a high. ,and deserved tribute of respect was paid, in the shape of a present of pl a t e , a t his own house, to Mr. W. M. Fisher, a gentleman who has long and assiduously devoted his talents and his time to the promotion of Christian and useful education, as Principal of Great George -street Academy. A number of ladies and gentlemen were present. Mr. Fisher has not, for years, confined himself to the dull routine of the ordinary tuition of youth in his vocation. He has done more. He has mingled the utile cum dulci. He recently gave an admirable lecture (which it will be seen will be repeated this evening) on the sublime science of astronomy, in behalf of St. Barnabas's Church School, and exhibited on the occasion a power of intellect and research rarely to be met with,—reconciling by beautiful oral and picto rial representations the perfect keeping of our Scriptural faith with the wonderful works of the illimitable creation of the world. Nothing could be appropriate than the comparatively small, yet costly and genuine, token of regard that was presented to him on this occasion. It is a silver cup, of the vase form, gilt within, with handles representing English oak branches and leaves. The cover is sur mounted by a figure, (in frosted silver) of Sir Isaac New ton, contemplating the "fallen apple" at his feet. The model was derive from the best portrait of the great philosopher and astronomer; and so far as can now be Judged is faithfully correct in likeness and costume. On the outer edge of the lid, (which in imagination may be considered the horizon,) are the twelve signs of the zodiac. On one side there is an emblematical design of "Astronomy aiding Religion in her search after Truth," —with the quotation from the 19th Psalm—" The Hea vens declare the glory of God." On the other side is engraved the passage from Milton : " How charming is divine philosophy! Not harsh and crabbed But musical as is Apollo's lute, And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets. Where no crude surfeit reigns." On another compartment is engraved the following testimony of respect to the recipient : Presented by The Rev. Henry Carpenter, A.M. The Rev. Henry Hampton. A.M. The Rev. Frederick Parry, B.D. Ministers of the Church of England in Liverpool, and several member of their Congregations, to W. M. FISHER, ESQ., Principal of Great George-street Academy, As a tribute of respect and esteem for his Christian character, his extensive and accurate attainments as a Scholar, and for the disinterested and generous exercis e of hi s intellectual acquirements in the sacred cause of Religion and Charity. March, 1848. The piece of plate is covered with a glass shade, and will form a very elegant and appropriate ornament,—an " heir-loom" in the family of Mr. Fisher. The whole design was suggested and executed by our townsman Mr. Disrnore, silversmith, of Bold-street, and is we think (without an attempt to flatter) highly creditable to him in scholastic taste, and in fidelity and beauty of workman ship. The Rev. Mr. Carpenter, on presenting the cup, read the following address:— DEAR SIR,—To acknowledge kindnesses received, and to make any attempt to discharge a debt of gratitude, is always an agreeable duty. This we now feel in addressing you, and in offering you our sincere thanks for the lectures you have fre quently and willingly given at our request. The large pleasure of interest which your lectures afforded was sufficiently witnessed by the numerous and attentive audi ences present to hear them. And when we consider the sub jects of them, and the manner in which those subjects were treated, we can readily account for the interest produced. As tronomy and other kindred branches of science which strikingly exhibit the wisdom, power, and goodness of our gra cious God, and which must ever engage the interest of every well-regulated mind—these were the subjects on which yon lectured—and the clear interesting and instructive manner in which you explained the wonders of creation, was well calcu lated to enlarge the mind and to teach the hearers to "look from nature up to nature's God." But in acknowledging these acts of kindness, we should be greatly wanting were we to emit noticing the trouble and ex pense you cheerfully incurred in providing the costly apparatus requisite to give effect to the beautiful representations of celes tial scenery exhibited in your lectures. All this expense and trouble you willingly bore, in order that (so far as you were concerned) the whole proceeds of the lectures should be appro priated to the religions and charitable objects, to promote which they were undertaken. For this we tender our sincere thanks; and begging your acceptance of the accompanying token of our esteem, along with our best wishes for Mrs. Fisher's happiness and your own, we remain, dear Sir, Yours faithfully, (Signed on behalf of the Subcribers,) HENRY CARPENTER, HENRY HAMPTON, FREDERICK PARRY; THOMAS SWINDLEY, JOHN TOLLITP, Churchwardens. And by the Churchwardens of St. James' and St. Clements's Churches. Mr. Fisher had prepared a written reply, which we sub join. He was so overcome however by emotions of gra titude as to be utterly unable to read it. MY DEAR FRIENDF,-1 thank you kindly and affectionately for this substantial and lasting memorial of your esteem and attachment. I must say that I have always met with a warm reception amongst you, and have been cheered on by your con tinued approbation. The privilege of doing good and the gratitude that I have experienced, both publicly and privately, constitute, in my estimation, an ample reward for any services that 1 have been enabled to render. I never anticipated this additional proof of your kindness. I trust that it will prove a fresh stimulus, on my part, to renewed energy and zeal in the sphere where providence has placed me. The characteristics which surround this handsome present, and the complimentary sentiments embodied in the inscription, embrace far more than I shall ever merit, either by my literary attainments, or by any of my undertakings in the sacred cause of religion and charity. On this beautiful cup, there are engraved three honoured names—Carpenter, Hampton, and . Parry. These I shall ever price, because I know them to be sincerely tached friends, whose praises are in all the churches, and whose characters stand so deservedly high, in the estima tion of the world, as faithful, devoted, and efficient ministers of the everlasting gospel. May all their labours in the vine yard of Christ be crowned with abundant success, and after having been instrumental in winning many souls to the Re deemer, may they, at a far distant old age, be removed from the scenes of their earthly toils with these cheering words— " Well done good and faithful servants, enter ye into the joy of your Lord." To you my esteemed friends who enjoy their ministrations, and who have so generously contributedtowards this valuable present, I desire to tender my heartfelt thanks for all your past kindness. May you be blessed with health, pros perity. and happiness, and amid your family circles, may you all enjoy that peace of mind which passeth all understanding. In the inscription, allusion has been made to Great George street Academy. It always has been, and I trust ever will be, my anxious wish, while endeavouring to cultivate and expand the youthful mind, by the various branches of literature, to instil, at the same time, those immutable principles of recti tude and truth which are based on the inspired. Word—those vital doctrines of our holy religion which, by the blessing of God, can alone snake wise unto that salvation which i s i n Christ Jesus. I again, my dear friends, offer you all my sincere gratitude, and beg to assure you that, while I have hands to work, money to assist, and a heart to pray, you will find me ready, at all times, to co-operate in spreading the principles of pure and undefiled religion, in connection with the Church of England in all her varied and extensive labours of love, _ Returning you many thanks for your kind wishes towards Mrs. Fisher and myself, I have the honour to remain, my esteemed friends, Yours most sincerely, W. M. FISHER. We understand that the cup will be on view in Mr. Dismore's window for the next few days. We telieve the cost of it is about £6O. ATTEMPTED MURDERS BY A MANIAC.—A man named Wilkinson, living at Easton, near Stamford, recently made an attempt in a state of frenzy on the lives of his two children. During his wife's absence up stairs, ho took up an instrument used by him in his business (having a hammer at one end and a kind of hatchet at the other), and began to chop at both the children. Their screams brought their mother down stairs, who succeeded in wrest ing the weapon from her husband, not, however, before he had inflicted five horrible wounds on the head of the eldest child, aged eight, and two on the head of the younger, as well as a deep wound on the wrist. The eldest was in convulsions for two hours, and not expected to recover; the little sufferer revived, however, and both are still living, but one of them remains in imminent danger. Wilkinson has been since conveyed to _amberwell Luna tic Asylum. _ _ - - DESPERATE ENCOUNTER.—The Birmingham Journal contains an account of a desperate attack on a constable who was conveying three burglars in a railway train front Birmingham to Warwick. The men were handcuff,d and seated in the carriage beside the constable, and when the train had passed Stitchford, the fellows suddenly sprang upon the constable, and attempted to force him out of the window. He struggled manfully against his ruffianly opponents, and cried aloud for help ; but all help for railway travellers under such circumstances is utterly hopeless. His cries were unheard, and, over powered by the desperadoes. they would probably have accomplished their purpose but tor the smallness of the aperture through which they endeavoured, to thrust him. Failingwhile in il t e two his he was pinioned to the floor of the car riage, of the villains pressed their knees on his chest with such force that the blood gushed front the officer's mouth. During this dreadful struggle Col lins contrived to slip his handcuffs, and getting out of the window, threw himself off the train, and succeeded in escaping, as no trace of him has since been discovered. on the arrival of the train at Marston Green, the constable contrived to apprise the guard of what had occurred, and one of the railway constables was placed in the carriage as an additional security, and accompanied the prisoners to Warwick, where they were safely lodged in gaol. The prisoner Collins, who effected his escape, is a desperate character, and was tried last assizes, at 'Warwick, for com mitting a robbery during the night of the -fire at Mr. Welch s, in Dean-street. The other two men are well known thieves, belonging to Birmingham. The escape of the constable is most providential, as there is every pro bability that his life would have been sacrificed by the des perate ruffians, had they succeeded in throwing him out of the carriage.
