CORRESPONDFiNC SHORT WEIGHTS AND MEASURE, TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SIR,--1 beg leave to inquire if the weights and measures in St. John's Market are frequently examined. I have found articles purchased there, of late, shamefully deficient in quantity. Saturday A PURCHASER TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD SlR,—The Editor of the Mercury is very much surprised that Sir Robert Peel will not inform him what his intentions relative to a future goverment are. Do, Sir Robert, by all means afford him the required in formation. as to the future intentions of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council. HOUSE OF LORDS. —THURSDAY. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Rev. Sir 11. Lees, calling the attention of their lordships to the mis chief likely to arise to the country from the order of Jesuits, and praying for their expulsion from the empire. Lord CLIFFORD moved for certain correspondence between the Governor of Hindostan and the Governor of Goa, rela tive to the authorising of any British Catholic missionaries in Hindostan. The noble lord disclaimed for himself and the Catholic peers on his side of the house any intention to embarrass the present ministry, but he thought the subject to be of sufficient importance to bring under the consideration of the house. It was thought that the Irish regiments, and other Catholics in India. should have the benefit of Catholic countrymen from this country instead of Portuguese clergy men from Goa, whose language they did not understand, and who were inferior in talent and ability to British Catho lic clergymen. Yet, notwithstanding this, the British Catholic clergymen were actually reported to have been tor tured because they refused to give up the keys of their churches to the priests sent from Goa. Lord ELLENBOROTJGR demanded upon what authority the noble lord made such an accusation against any British au thorities in India as that they had administered torture in India. sUit lt1': But in order that he may form some idea what Sir Robert's intentions are, I will give him acme idea what they are not. He will not squander a mint of money by commissioning 13 vessels to provide for his relatives and dependents. He will not sent out individuals afflicted with palpitations to settle affairs in China. He will not send Durham mustard to cool dissentions in Canada. He will not give a premium to the Brazilian slave growing sugar planter (at the expense of our colonies) to suppress the slave trade. He will not encourage the Baltic timber trade to the exclusion of the Canadian. He will not take the postage rate off the rich merchant and levy it at an increased rate of 10 per cent. on the taxes of the la bourer. And finally, he will not, to enable the manufacturer to reduce his rate of wages, destroy the main stay (the agri cultural interests of the three kingdoms) by the encourage ment of foreign corn growers.—Yours, most respectively, Bootle. R. W. B. STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATES-PRESENT GRIEV ANCES AND SUGGESTED REMEDIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SlR,—The short interim which will intervene between the present date and the Ist of November next, renders it impe rative on every conscientious voter to consider how far be can best exercise the right of returning members to the com mon council who are " elected by and are resnonsible to the people," according to the maxima taught him by our late very worthy reformers, in the municipal struggle to come. It was a great mistake of our liberal friends, that the coun cillors were " responsible to the people." It is true they were elected by the people. but their long lease of office has not manifested any of that responsibility ; and if it is appa rent they were altogether irresponsible to them from the first, it will behove the people to take care bow far their statements or promises are to be trusted prior to an election for the future. Some of the " doings of the first reform councillor. their appointment of oFficers, their economy in expenditure, their arrangements for the education of the children of the poor, and, above all, their responsibility to the people—were trumpeted forth in the council chamber by the celebrated Mr. Walmsley at the close of their first year's labours; and his speech on that memorable occasion was printed and re trumpeted by the Reform Association. Alas ! how differ ently does that address read now ! Where are now their uninterested immaculate officers ? How far now are the children of the poor educated in advance of their immediate predecessors ? Their wise economy,—where is it ? Above all, where are the people to seek responsibility for all their past errors ? Where is, or has been, their responsibility to the people ? If opportunity permit, and your indulgent 'columns find space enough, I may advert to one or two of their cardinal doings, which, intended for public benefits, have become public grievances ; but on another occasion. At present a few words more respecting stipendiary magistrates, and the Solomon-like arrangements of our Police-court, may bespeak attention and beget reflection to many other things ; for which, if felt to be hurtful or oppressive, the people, although they may find their introducers certainly irresponsible, can as certainly find remedies, in the personS of their conserva tive successors. What profound wisdom is embodied in the system of lining ! especially where fining saves some thousands per annum from the corporate funds for magistrates' and magi strates' clerks' salaries. What a saving of bribery would it have effected in the days of Felix and his contemporaries the stipendiaries of those days! Used as a substitute for any other punishment, five pounds for an assault from a wealthy offender is a merciful one ; but merciful as it is, and service able too as it regards the ends of justice and the interests of the public, it has another advantage, which is this—it tends as much to the keeping up of " gentlerhanly assaults " as the letting a hen partridge escape tends to keep up the breed of partridges ! In reverse cases it has similar advantages—visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children, and making (as the Unita rians say it should) very obedient husbands. Added to these, it makes an oath a less serious thing to a witness than it used to be, and leaves defendants very little to say for them selves; but its crowning advantage is, that it never presup poses capacity or incapacity for reformation! Can anything be more desirable ? For instance, a Protestant workman is surrounded every day by Roman Catholic fellow-workmen, who, regarding him with the favour they would bear to a pestilence, resort to every means of annoying him. Every invention to tor ment him is used from time to time. Fancy him in the workshop some morning scalded with hot coffee while at breakfast by a fellow-workman, and retaliating the insult by a blow ; and then fancy the sufferer summonsing the striker before a stipendiary magistrate, and proving by some of the other workmen an assault—the stipendiary magistrate sym pathising with the complainant—fining the offender about the amount of three weeks' wages " and expenses"—the de fendant's starving wife and family durine those three weeks, —and an idea may be formed how doubtful cases may be simplified and multiplied ; how it is not exactly necessary for a witness to see prior provocation to an assault, so much as to see the assault itself ; and how retaliation may be rendered aggression under this admirable system, which for the most part the foolish old tories never thought of in cases such as these, or would have dismissed in spite of the evidence. Suppose another case, (which would to God only existed in supposition !) where a thoughtless wife, from a feeling of jealousy or offended pride, or from any other feeling, had an inclination to be separated from ber husband. What an easy course does the fining system offer for the accomplishment of her purpose How easy for her to provide some unprin cipled friend or relative, in ambush, as evidence for her hav ing been ill used ! Let us in particular select a case, which, if it did not, might have happened during the liberal dynasty. An unprincipled mother and bribed servant girl are kept in a separate room to bear witness to an event which a wife wishes to bring about. The wife instantly commences a quarrel with her husband by charging him with some un committed cruelty to her, and, to facilitate her purpose, works herself into a violent passion; latterly, with a view to snore irresistible provocation, raises some dangerous'weapon to strike him with—attempts perhaps to cut him with a knife, or, after a javelin manner, throw some sharp instrument in his face. Is it to be wondered at, that, under such circum stances, a blow should be struck ? Suppose a blow to be struck in earnest ; well, at this juncture the witnesses come in ; they are not in time to see the weapon raised, the knife aimed, or the instrument thrown, but they are careful to arrive quite in time to ruin the husband's reputation by swearing that they saw him Strike his wife. The testimony of such witnesses, even in the absence of marks of violence on the complainant, is received as good evidence by the ma gistrate, who fines the defendant in a heavy sum, binds him over for his good behaviour, and the latter is compelled ul• timately to pay his wife an allowance for her separate main tenance, has a stab to his reputation and feelings, and may live to see the effects of a bad example on his children in the infamy of their mother. It is questionable if a dismissal of a case like this, or a case like the preceding, on the plea of a first offence, or any other plea tantamount to a dismissal under the magistrates of former times, in what they called critical and uncertain cases, was or was not justice ; but then it is equally questionable, if the infliction of a fine and binding over to keep the peace, even in the event of a plea of first offence, would, as regarded the funds requisite for the enormous expenses under the new system, have been prudence or imprudence. These, we will say, are only supposed cases : should futu. rity at any time discover them to be facts or not, those ac quainted'with the annals of the reform era can best judge. But not to confine ourselves to supposed cases, let us turn to actual, every day cases, such as come under the recently improved fining system, or, that late improvement in the punishment of poor drunkards, of an imprisonment of three days in the Borough gaol, when they cannot pay the cus tomary fine of five shillings. Truly, this is visiting the sins of fathers and mothers on their children very severely ! Of course the imprisonment is never visited on wealthy drunk ards, inasmuch as they can always pay the fine ; but the poor drunkard has only the painful alternative of robbing his family of several days sustenance by paying their fine, or leaving them perhaps to starvation for half a week during his confinement, to answer the ends of what is called justice. No leniency seems to be shown to first offences, under these recent improvements. Certainly more fines are paid, and more cupboards under them ; still the poor drunkards are as numerous as ever. Showing, that it is as much a fallacy to suppose fines or imprisonme n t s , w ith out t h e g if t o f true re pentance, will cure a drunkard, as it is to suppose a child will learn anything without a capacity. Under the old ma gistrates this fallacy did not occupy any apparent promi nence, they seemed to know that nothing but saving grace could avail to reform a drunkard ; from a feeling of com passion to his helpless offspring, neither fining nor imprison ment made any part of the punishment they awarded him ; he was admonished and discharged ; and this manner of disposing cases of drunkenness, it cannot be denied, is the wisest and best after all. Having in a former letter urged a few considerations on the public, respecting stipendiary magistrates, without se lecting any of them as a subject for personal animadversion, and knowing that the STANDARD has already called their attention to the prevalence of vice and immorality in the town at present. It is not too much to ask the electors to weigh well and consider these imperfect statements of mine, and those statements from abler hands, with reference to their coming duty : a careful inquiry into these will supply many things, indispensably deficient in a letter like this. Into a state of society, offences must and will come; the world since its beginning has abounded with them, and will abound with them to its dissolution. False witnesses abounded in the days of Joseph, David, Solomon, and all the Prophets, and will abound in the present and succeeding generations. How careful then ought the magistrates to be in supplicating for grace to execute justice and to maintain truth. But in vain will the inhabitants of this borough look for the undoing of heavy burdens, the letting the oppressed go free, the bursting of the bands of wickedness, so long as the judicial bench is unoccupied by Christian magistrates administering such justice as will be entirely disassoci ated with either pecuniary or stipendiary considerations, in whose election the public has had a voice, in whose quali fications they have all an interest : who can in judgment re member mercy, knowing that themselves are compassed with a feeling of the same infirmities, incident to all erring brothers and sisters. And this is the remedy I would respectfully propose for the dissipating of those dark and gathering clouds which over spread our local atmosphere; Christian magistrates admi nistering Christian laws ; judging the cause of the poor and needy, and breaking in pieces the oppressor; consulting the Bible as their chief statute book, and disposing of every dif ficult case accordin g t o i ts provisions. Under such magis trates truth would again flourish in the earth, and the mouth of all lies be stopped. For ourselves and our neighbours let time, us hope we may see such mag i strates in due that the tears of those who have suffered o r s h all suffer, throw rou h p pression, through any pla gue or trouble, when they g ag o ain . flow forth from their crushed hearts may flow in streams of gratitude, and be exhaled into an sof glory irradiating a city which righteousness has exaltedl—l remain VOUTS, &C.

L. S.j Err . Eel's Or RAILWAY TRAVELLING UPON THE IMAGIN ATION.—On Friday, the 17th instant, an old woman took her fare from Stockport to Manchester by the railway. She, being a little deaf, (lid not perceive the carriages move, and, after couversing with her friends a little while, lifting up her head, sbe exclaimed, " See, yon bridge is flying !" On look ing a little to the right hand side of the bridge, she exclaimed again, with an air of surprise, " Oh, yon things are flying !" to the amusement of her fellow-passengers. Lord CLIFFORD said that it was so reported, though he could not believe they had gone that length. Lord ELLENBOROUGR said that for 200 years the priests of Goa had performed the religious duties of the Catholic church in India, and ultimately a dispute arose between them and the British Catholic missionaries, who were a few years back sent from this country. The Supreme Court de cided in favour of the priests of Goa, and thus the matter stood. As to torture, it was unnecessary for him to say that nothing of the sort had taken place. He regretted the noble lord had brought the subject forward, for it could only tend to exasperate feelings in India upon the subject, increasing the difficulties of the government of India, and doing no ser vice to those whose cause he had taken up. There were some of the papers which he had no objection to produce; but, as to others of them, he did not know that they were in existence. After a few other words in reply from Lord CLIFFORD, the papers, together with some additional ones on the subject, moved for by Lord Ellenborough, were then ordered, and the house adjourned until Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY ....... Upon the bringing up of the report of the administration of justice bill, , Mr. EW ART moved that the retiring allowance to the vice-chancellor should be £3,000, instead of £3,500 per annum. After a short discussion the house divided, and Mr. Ewart's amendment was negatived by a majority of 130 to In the coma) 0111, wnen toe clause proposing the compensation to the Hon. Mr. Scarlett, for the loss of his office as one of the masters in the Court of Exchequer, and limiting that compensation father, was read, Mr. WARD objected to the clause, and contended that the office had not been given to Mr. Scarlett until after notice had been given that it was intended that it should be alto gether abolished. If he was entitled to compensation at all, he was entitled to it for life, and it should not cease on his accession to the peerage; but, in fact, he had no right to expect compensation at all under the circumstances of his appointment. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that as Mr. Scarlett could not retain the office after his accession to the peerage, it would be unreasonable that his compensation should go beyond that period. Lord Abinger had the power of conferring this appointment upon whom he chose, and there was no obligation upon him not to exercise his right, which he ac cordingly had exercised in favour of his son. Mr. WARD said there was no legal obligation, but there was a moral obligation upon him, not to appoint any one to an office in which he would have but a few months employ ment, in order that he might obtain a compensation of £l4OO a year for doing nothing. The hon. member concluded by moving that compensation should be given only to those officers who were appointed prior to the 14th of March, 1840. Sir R. PEEL said the bill was precisely in the same shape as that in which it was before the house last year. He was of opinion that it was right to grant compensation, and to limit it in the way in which it was done by this bill. Notice of an intention to abolish an office ought not to bar the right of Lord Abinger to appoint a person to the office until it should be actually abolished. _ Mr. AGLIONBY said if the party were his dearest friend he should vote against him. _ Sir W. FoiIETT said that not only was there no moral ob ligation on Lord Abinger not to appoint any one to the office ; but in point of fact he was compelled by law to make the ap pointment in favour of somebody, and he presumed no one would say he was wrong in giving the appointment to his son. Mr. HAWES said that an appointment of a temporary nature might have been made. It was to be remembered that the bill for abolishing the office was actually introduced into parliament before the appointment was made. Mr. WATSON was opposed to compensation, and said the opinion of the bar was not in favour of it in this case. The hon. gentleman cited the case of the Welsh judges as one in point ; and in that case those judges who were appointed after a notice similar to the present were not held to be en titled to compensation. . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that Mr. Scarlett had given up offices in the Post-office and in the Mint, in order to take the office of master in the Court of Exchequer. Mr WARD asked if the right hon. gentleman would con sent to limit the compensation to the value of the offices he had given up ? Lord PALMERSTON said that this was a most important question to have answered, and he hoped it would be an swered by the Government. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the ap pointment, mid said he would not consent to the proposal of the hon. member for Sheffield. On a division the clause was carried (and of course Mr. Ward's motion negatived) by a majority of 140 to 81. The house then resumed, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday next. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the order of the day for the house resolving itself into a committee of supply. Mr. P. M. STEWART called the attention of the house to the petition from the provost, magistrates, and town coun cil of Paisley, on the present distressed condition of the ma nufacturers of the county of Renfrew. The hon. member drew a melancholy picture of the state of distress in that county, and argued that the Government should without any delay proceed to adopt measures for the preservation of the population, instead of adjourning for an indefinite period, without holding out a hope of relief. Mr. M. GIBSON objected to the silent system pursued by government, and regretted that no steps were to be taken to inquire into the distressed condition of the country. The hon. member attacked the conduct of the landed proprietors, who were establishing agricultural associations, all of which were degenerating into conservative associations—insultisg the Queen, as they did the other day at Saxmundham, by drink ing her health coldly, while they drank that of the Queen dowager with enthusiasm. (Cries of " no, no".) And after all what did they do at Saxmundham ? They paraded la bourers around the room. and rewarded them because they had brought up their families without accepting of parochial relief. (Loud cheers from the ministerial side.) So that in fact they had brought the agricultural population into such a condition that it was an extraordinary matter, and one that deserved a reward, that a man should have es caped becoming a pauper. (Cheers from the opposition.) He wished to know if the right hon. baronet meant to trust to the chapter of accidents to relieve all this distress, or, in proroguing parliament, was he of opinion that it would be sufficiently met by the charitable contributions of the pub lic ? The hon. gentleman next adverted to the admissions made by Lord Stanley at Lancaster ; first, that the corn laws tended to raise the price of bread beyond its natural level ; secondly, that the increased price of bread increased the price of land also •, and lastly, that the rate of wages was not dependent upon the high or low pike of bread. Now, this was all that the Corn Law association contended for, and it was not very wonderful therefore, that the poor ope ratives should draw the conclusion that the delicaciesand the luxuries of the aristocracy were drawn from the tears of the poor. He could see no reason why the landed proprietors should claim to themselves to be the exclusive licensed vic tuallers of the country. (Cheers from the opposition.) Mr. PARKER also contended that the government should give some, even slight development, of its views to the coun try, and said that the people would not be satisfied if the present silence of the right hon. baronet should be perse vered in. Sir R. PEEL said that, in his opinion, the course he had adopted was far more rational than that of making a partial developement of his views. He was called upon by the country to repair, if possible, the enormous embarrassments —(loud cheering)—in which the late government had in volved it, so far as respected its financial policy. Thus called upon, he asked of the House of Commons sufficient of its confidence to give him a short time, to enable him to take a review of the whole position of the country. There could be no advantage in his hinting at details, while he postponed the consideration of the measures themselves. He had formerly stated that, if he should be called to power by the retirement of the late administration, he would not be forced into a premature declaration of his intentions. The sense of the country was taken by the late government, and the opinion of the country had clearly evinced itself in favour of the course he was pursuing, and of the reasonableness of the demand he had made upon its confidence. The hon. member for Manchester complained of his maintaining his reserve—but the country was aware of that reserve, and yet, although there had been over 30 elections in consequence of the change of government, in no instance had any member of the government been opposed when presenting himself for re-election. (Cheers.) He thought that, after the opinion of the house in the early part of the present session, it was scarcely usual for an hon. member to provoke a discussion on going into committee of supply, when that discussion could lead to no result. They must all sympathise with the distress prevailing through the country, but still it was most important that those who had to provide a remedy for those evils should not be driven into hasty measures in the hope of providing an immediate remedy. (Cheers.) The right hon. baronet, admitting the distress, read some returns for July and August from the savings banks, with a view to show that the country was rallying in that respect, and that, in fact, great as the distress was, it was unnecessarily exaggerated. (Cheers.) Mr. M. PHILIPS said the distress was so great in the ma nufacturing districts; that if not relieved they would have to regret the want of order and a state of things which they must all equally lament. Mr. Philips then contended for the necessity of their speedily resorting to an inquiry into the state of the people, and insisted on the impropriety of allow ing the winter to pass over without taking into consideration the question of the corn-laws. Mr. Ewart, Mr. Walker, Sir J. Easthope, Mr. Villiers, and Mr. Cobden all followed in the same line of argument as that which the opposition have held since the commencement of the session. Captain CARNEGIE deprecated the course pursued by those hon. gentlemen in thus reiterating their arguments, when they knew they had not the remotest chance of carrying any one of their measures. He had, for his own part, sufficient confidence in the right hon. baronet to believe that he would place the commercial prosperity of Great Britain upon a firmer basis than it had hitherto stood upon. (Cheers.) Mr. THORNELY condemned the sliding scale in the duties on corn, and said it was impossible that it should continue to be tolerated. Mr. BROTHER TON held the same course of argument, and said that the corn-laws were the cause of the contraction of the currency, by sending the bullion out of the country, and had thus led to a large portion of the distress in the manufac turing districts. Mr. AGLIONBY bore testimony to the distress at Cocker mouth and Carlisle, and to the exemplary patience with which it was borne. Captain FITZROY deprecated such a waste of time as had taken place that night, and said that the reason of the silence preserved on the ministerial side of the house was, that they did not wish The hous house, to aid in wasting the time of the house, by en gaging a discussion which, as there was no proposition before the Could lead to nothing. euoLenozsent into committee of supply, and ordnance estimates, Captain Au animated and in te proceeded reri n g to conversation mov e the arose remaining in co n Board of sequence of a suggestion should be a naval officer at from e Sir C. NAPIER, that there course of the conversation Sir C declaredO rdn a n c that e. in theth e Captain PECHELL said it was notorious that the navy was in this respect very badly supplied; and, in many cases, the swords supplied were little better than iron hoops, and were only fit to be used for that purpose. Sir C. NAPIER hoped that the navy would be more at tended to than it had hitherto been, or some terrible disaster would occur that would astonish the country. He hoped that vessels would be sent to sea better manned than they had been for some time ; for, had the fleet in Syria, which was not fully manned, been attacked by a fleet fully manned, no one could tell what would have been the consequence. Captain FrrznoY said the arms were the same as were issued to the military. Lord A. LENsoxsaid that, if the same kind of euns were given to the navy as to the army, he, as a military man, would say that nothing could be worse. As attention had now been drawn to the subject, he hoped the evil would now be remedied. The estimates being disposed of, the house resumed, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday. ROMANCE AND REALITY.-CHEATING THE POLICE HORRID MURDER AND SUICIDE AT HEYWOOD.—On Tuesday last, a poor woman, wife of John Kay, and her child, both of wretched appearance, were taken into custody by one of the rural police, at Mr. Aitkin's shop, back of Moss Heywood, near Rochdale, the woman on a charge of having stolen a half-crown from the till of the shop drawer. She said that she had not tasted of food for three days. She was placed in the lockup, and about eight o'clock on Wednesday morning, on entering the cell of th e un f or t una t e woman s h e . had murdered her child ; was suspended from a pipe in the prison by means of a strip of clothing, which she had con verted into a temporary rope; the woman had also put an end to her own existence by fastening her neck by another strip of clothing fastened to the same pipe ; they were both dead when first discovered. She was a married woman and resided in the neighbourhood ; was upwards of 30 years of age, and has left three children. MR. OASTLER. — In consequence of the visit of Thomas Thornhill, Esq., to his Fixby estates, a number of Mr. Oastler's friends held a meeting last week at Huddersfield, at which it was resolved that a deputation should be sent to Mr. Thornhill, earnestly entreating him to extend his clemency to his late steward, by cance lli ng t h e d e b t for which lie is now suffering the hardships o f i mpr i sonment i n the Fleet. A deputation of nine respectable individuals waited on Mr. Thornhill on Monday last at Fixby. Mr. Thornhill received them very courteously, but declined ac ceding to their request, except up on certa i n con di t i ons, which, under existing circumstances, it was found impossible to comply with. We cannot at present enter into particulars, but we hope that, now the ice is broken, the tory friends of Mr. Oastler will at once adopt such measures as may ulti mately lead to his release from incarceration, and restore him to his family and friends.—Leeds Intelligences-. A most distressing event has this week occurred at Carl. ton, a village three miles from Nottingham. For some years John Musson, aged 33, and his wife, about the same age, have lived together, but not upon the most agreeable terms, he having many times very grossly illused and beaten her. During the last fortnight, a young woman named Sarah Mason, who is in a state of pregnancy by Musson, has been lodging in the same house with the man and his fe. On Sunday afternoon last Mrs. Musson left the house. aFparently to go on an errand, but instead of going herself she sent a little boy, and returned home. On going silently into the house she heard a conversation, while standing at the foot of the stairs, which left no doubt of the intimacy existing be tween her husband and Mason, as they were speaking (not being in a room together, he being at hisisroom door and she being in her own room) so loud as to be distinctly heard below. The wife, in the height of her_ desperation, took a loaded gun, went to her husband's room, where he was in bed alone, and, pointing the muzzle at lics head, fired the piece off, the contents of which fractured his jaw on both sides, and severely wounded his right wrist. He was conveyed to the General Hospital at Nottingham, where he now remains in a very dangerous state. On Wednesday the wife was taken before the county magistrates, and she is remanded for fur ther examination.—Nottingham Journal. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

So very bad were they, that in Syria th e moun taineers would not accept them. The same might be said of pistols, cutlasses, &c. (From the Manchester Guardian.) About a month ago, a young man of gentlemanly appear ance, went to the York H o t e l, i n thi s t own, w h ere h e too k up his quarters, and stated that his name was Frederick Williams. A day or two afterwards his bill was presented ; but, as he did not pay it, Mr. Swyers, the landlord, suspected that all was not right, and pressed him for the money. The gentleman stated, that he was a nephew of Lord De Manley ; but Mr. Swyers not being satisfied with this, consulted Sir Charles Shaw, who had an interview with the gentleman, who convinced Sir Charles that he was indeed Lord De Mauley's nephew. His story was somewhat romantic, and we believe the substance of it is as follows :—He stated that his name was Gabriel Frederick William Jacob Ponsonby, and that he was a natural son of Lord Ponsonby, by a lady named Fraser. His birth was secret, and soon after he was born, his uncle, Lord De Manley, gave him in charge of a man and woman, and presented the m w ith £l,OOO t o k eep him. They took him to America, and shortly afterwards the wife of a Captain Park, who was staying in the same house, bad a son who was also left in charge of the same people. That child died, but on their return a year or two after, the man and woman he was with, passed bins off as the child of Captain and Mrs. Park, and he was brought up by them. Some time ago, however, his own mother, who had been making inquiries after bins, learned where he was, sent for him, and recognised him by a mark on his wrist, which had swear secresy, and then told him the history of his birth, and gave him £5O to go to America, and seek the people by whom he was taken thither. He went, but did not succeed, and had returned on the 6th of August. lie mentioned the names of several gentlemen with whom Sir Charles was acquainted, and as he appeared to know much about them, Sir Charles was convinced that the account was true, and gave his word to Mr. Swyers, that the gentleman might stop at the hotel at his expense. Mr. Williams, under his new name of Pon sonby, gained o❑ the confidence of Sir Charles Shaw ; he fre quently called at the police-office, and Captain Sleigh even invited him to take up his quarters at his house. Letters were sent to his relations ; but, as no answers were received from sonic, and doubtful ones from others, inquiries were made, the result of which convinced Sir Charles that he had been imposed upon, and Mr. Ponsonby, who had been stay ing during this time at the York Hotel, was at length taken into custody on Saturday last, and brought up at the Borough Court on Monday, when the case was shortly stated against him, and he was remanded to Tuesday, when the case was heard. Mr. Swyers, the landlord of the York Hotel, stated, that on the evening of the 23d August, the prisoner came to his house, and put iip there ; he gave his name Frederick Wil liams, and it was taken for granted that he would pay the same as other people. On the morning of the 25th, his bill, which amounted to about £1 3s, was presented to him, and he told the waiter that he had money in his pocket, but it was due to a friend of his, that he was going out, and on his return he would discharge the bill, and he showed the waiter what he stated was money through his silk purse, but on being pressed, he acknowledged that he had nothing at all to pay with. He pressed to be allowed to go out, but wit ness refused to let him go, and he then sent for a person named Smith. who, he said, was an acquaintance of his; Mr. Smith came, but said he knew nothing of him further than that he saw him once on the exchange. Witness asked him what he wa s go i ng t o d o, and h e replie that he was a 4 t singular persona ge . Wit ness to ld hi m that e had nothing to do with his si ngu l ar it y, b ut if h e would di harge his bill he was at liberty. He asked him how he was singular, but could get no answer then ; the prisoner, however, sent for him shortly afterwards, and told him that he was a nephew of Lord de Manley, and that his name was Ponsonby. Wit thought he was not the individual he represented himself to be, and consulted with Sir C. Shaw with a view of sending him to his friends, to avoid unnecessary exposure. Sir C. Shaw had an interview with him ; after which he said the prisoner should stop at his expense.—Sir Charles Shaw said that when he was applied to, he saw the prisoner, who ap peared to him to be a respectable young man, but had no money, and he thought he was like many other young men who had got into a scrape. The prisoner told him a long story about his being a nephew to Lord de Manley. Wit ness questioned him about some gentlemen with whom he had been dining ; he knew` them, and from the prisoner's answers, witness thought he was the person he represented himself to be. The stories the prisoner told him exceeded in cleverness any thing he had ever heard in all his life.— Mr. Bent (who appeared for the prisoner). Then he fairly outwitted you ?—Sir Charles Shaw. He did indeed—(laugh ter),—and his statement was apparently confirmed by a cler gyman writing to him, and addressing him " Dear Gabriel," —he wrote to me stating that he was pennyless ; and a few minates afterwards Mr. Swyers informed me that he had ordered a suit of clothes from Mr. M`Stephens. In fadt, the prisoner is the cleverest young fellow in that way I ever knew.—Mr. Bent said, that with regard to Mr. Swyers, there was no false pretence whatever ; and he thought Sir C. Shaw had acted very improperly in having the prisoner taken before him as a magistrate, then having him under surveill ance for a month, and afterwards bringing him before a ano ther court.—Sir Charles Shaw said he was not acting as a magistrate when the prisoner was brought before him ; and he had not been under surveillance at all, but had been walking about the town until Saturday last, when he was taken into custody.—Captain Byrne, Sir Charles Shaw's secretary, said, a letter had been received from Mr. Le Drax, of Chisbro' Park, stating that Lord De Manley had no nephew of the name of the prisoner. And a letter had also been received from the Superintendent of Police at Salisbury, stating that no such person as Mrs. Ponsonby lived there ; but he thought, from the description, that the prisoner's name was Park, and that he was formerly in a bank there, but left some time ago.—The Rev. Mr. High more, of Burnley, (and who, we understand, is an uncle of the prisoner's,) stated that he first knew him about five years since. His real name was Park, and he came originally from America.—lnspector Irwin stated, that he had made a good deal of inquiry regarding the prisoner. He went down to Liverpool, and found that he came from America by the packet-ship Sheffield, on the 6th of August. He stopped at the Adelphi, where he run up a bill of £B, and then decamped, leaving his luggage. . He then went to Prescot, and stopped at ,the first hotel there, where he run up a bill of about £6. Fiom thence he went to Warrington, and played a similar trick there ; and from Warrington he came to Manchester. He had found a great number of letters, from which it ap peared that he had gone by the names of Ponsonby, Williams, and Mainwaring. Amongst the papers was a check, drawn by him in the name of Ponsonby, on Coutts and Co., bankers, for £l2 6s, payable to himself, but which they returned in a letter, addressed to him, at the post-office, Liverpool, stating that he had no account with them.—Mr. Maude inquired what was the whole amount of the bill against the prisoner, at the York Hotel ; and Mr. Swyers said, the bills together amounted to £l4 14s.—Sir Charles Shaw said, the fact of the matter was, that he had brought the prisoner up there to let it be known to the public that he was the most dangerous young man in the town.—Mr. Maude : Did you suggest his staying in the town ?—Sir Charles Shaw : I think I did. I advised him to stay, in order that I might put him into the hands of his friends. I must say, in justice to the young fellow, that he wrote a note to me, saying, that he was running up a large bill at my expense, and that he did not like to do it. I have brought him up here, in order that he may not do other people as he has done me. (Laughter.)—Mr. Maude said the case must go the sessions, and the prisoner was then removed from the bar.—Mr. Maude then asked Mr. Swyers if he had charged Sir Charles Shaw, in his book, for the pri soner s bill, and Mr. Swyers said, No; the name in the book was Ponsonby.—Mr. Bent said, then Sir Charles Shaw was not legally liable. —Mr. Maude said, that was a technical difficulty which he was afraid could not be got over.—The prisoner was then brought up again, and Mr. Maude told him he was discharged, in consequence of a technical difficulty, but if he were once caught in being guilty of these practises, he would probably be severely punished. THE NOTTINGHAM BANKING COMPANY, The London and Westminster Bank has taken the agency of the Nottingham Banking Company, which will forthwith resume its operations. At the meeting of the proprietors of that joint-stock bank in Nottingham last Friday, a call was agreed to of £5 per share, by which the capital will be raised from £BO,OOO to £120,000. Exclusive of this resolution, several of the more wealthy of the shareholders are under stood to have made immediate advances in money and secu rities to a very considerable amount, it is said SO far as the value of £lOO,OOO, so that the concern may now be consi dered better on its legs in point of credit than ever. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF THE MANAGER. (From Saturday's Morning Herald.) Yesterday, a country gentleman, who appeared in a state of great affliction, called at the Thames police court to give information of the disappearance of Mr. John Mellor, mana ger to the Nottingham and Notts Banking Co., the affairs of which concern have been lately under the notice of the public. Mr. Mellor it appeared, arived in London on Thurs day, in last week, on business connected with the bank, and during that day and Friday was indefatigable in his atten tions to matters relating to the banking concern. He was to have met a deputation of proprietors of the bank in Lon don on Friday afternoon, but they did not arrive, and he appeared very much disappointed at their absence, and was labouring under great anxiety. He slept at Wood's Hotel, Furnival's Inn, on Friday night, and on Saturday morning was inquiring very anxiously if the deputation had arrived, but they did not reach London till the afternoon. Before that time Mr. Mellor had left the hotel, and has not been heard of since, and the greatest anxiety has been manifested respecting him. He had in his possession £4OO, the produce of two notes which he changed for smaller ones at a banking house soon after his arrival in town. The object of the gentleman, the brother-in-law to Mr. M., who applied to the Thames police yesterday, was to request them to assist him in his search, and to give information if the body of any person answering the description was found in the river, as it was feared his anxieties might have preyed on his mind and caused him to commit self-destruction. Mr. Mellor is described as thirty years of age, about five feet seven inches high, and wore a gold watch in his waist coat pocket. His relative announced his intention of pro ceeding to Liverpool by the night train to ascertain if Mr. M. had taken a passage in any of the New York packet ships for America. It is but right to state that Mr. Mellor Is not a defaulter ; his accounts are strictly correct, and the highest opinion is entertained of his integrity.

The immediate cause of the accident was, the bursting of the large boiler of the steam-engine connected with the machinery ; but of the causes which led to the ex plosion no information has been received. The explosion, according to a letter from Merthyr, " was a tremendous one, destroying a very large portion of the works. Six unhappy fellow-creatures were killed almost instantaneously, and 18 others received injuries of the most dreadful character, some of them being mangled, and others frightfully scalded. Three of them have since died, and others are so dangerously in jured that they are not expected to recover. The sufferers are many of them married men, with large families dependent on them, who will now be deprived of their principal means of support." Another communication says, " Not the least distressing part of the occurrence is, that it will take, in all probability, two months or upwards to repair the damage done th the works."

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SEPT. 25. Our imports of British Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, since this lay se'nnight, have been light : from foreign states there are re ,orted 7,450 quarters of Wheat, and from Canada 4,700 barrels of lour both admissible for home consumption at the lowest rate of uty. The impost on the former has now advanced to 25 td per uarter, but has fallen on Barley to 4s 10d, and on Peas to Is per quarter. At our market, on Tuesday, there was a good demand for Wheat for consumption, and the decline noted in prices at the close of last week was recovered, the general runs of Baltic red Wheat selling at gs 6d to gs Bd, up to gs led to gs lld for fine Rostock: American gs 6d to gs gd ; Odessa 8s 10d to 95 ; fine good mixed Danzig gs 10d to iOs 3d per 701bs. There has since been less animation in the trade, and any change in prices has been in favour of the buyer, without any disposition being shown on the part of holders, however, to press sales. A few small parcels of Irish new Wheat have appeared : the damp inferior lots have been sold at 8s 6d to 8s 8(1, whilst some fine kiln-dried has brought 9s 3d per 701bs. Old Oats have met a little more inquiry, and, being in small supply, have brought rather more money : good mealing. 3s id to 3s 2d; 3s 3d per 451bs obtained for some very choice. No new at market this week. New Oatmeal has gone off some what more freely at 285 to 28s 6d, but old has continued dull of sale at 25s to 25s 6d per 2401 b. For Barley, Beans, or Peas there has been little more than a retail demand. Egyptian Beans have been sold free at 32s to 33s per 4801bs, and foreign Peas at 3gs to 41s per Ituarter. The public sales of Indigo were concluded on the afternoon of Friday last; the biddings were more languid even than on the previous day, and a further reduction in many instances established. About one-half of the 1035 chests sold. but nothing was done in Spanish. Since the public sales several parcels have been cleared off, at, if any thing, rather better rates. 900 bags Safflower Seed sold at 28s; 20 tons Gum Senegal at the quotations ; 20 baskets Roll Annatto at ltd, and a few serons silver Cochineal at 4s tid. There is nothing of moment to report in Nitrate of Soda. Of Saltpetre, 500 bags sold at full prices. Dyewoods.—The sales of all descriptions are very limited, with no alteration in priee. The demand for Turpentine is regular, and for 500 to 600 bris. of very good quality the advanced price of 12s 7d to 12s 8d has been obtained; although for about 810 brls. in store, of middling quality, 125 has been accepted. American Tar. being very scarce and much wanted, has advanced Is to Is tid per brl., 500 brls. having brought 14s to 14s Id per brl. There has been less inquiry for Pot Ashes, but as they are become exceedingly scarce, holders have been enabled to obtain 30s for small lots ; and the same price has also been given for Pearl Ashes, in limited quantity. Hides.—About 400 salted Buenos Ayres Ox are reported at 4d to sid, a few dry Lima at 61d, 2000 dry salted East India Kips at lid for Ist rubbed, s*(l per lb for 2nd rubbed, and 1400 salted Monte Video Horse at 21s fid each. Tobacco.—The sale of the week reach 275 hhds., 140 of which were Kentucky leaf for export, a few Virginia leaf and stemmed for Ireland, and the remainder to the Trade. In prices there is no change, and the market is steady. The first cargo from Virginia is now in coure of sampling. Brimstone continues to find buyers at the previous current rates ; the sales this week amount to upwards of 500 tons. Only a few small sales have been made in Sumac. Argols and Cream of Tartar have been neglected ; no transactions are reported. About 20 bales of Persian Berries have been sold at steady priees. The demand for Madder and Roots continue steady ; an advance of 2s to Is is now required for Turkey Roots, but has not yet been paid. No transactions reported in Quercitron Bark. For Olive Oil there has been rather more inquiry, and for CO tuns of various descrip tions full prices have been paid. In Fish Oils the transactions are moderate, bnt holders are very 'firm, and prices have a tendency upwards ; .4'34 lOs has been given for pale Seal. Linseed and Rape Oils are steady, but the demand not quite so brisk as during the last few weeks. Oil of Turpentine may still be bought at 495. The low price of Palm Oil begins to attract attention ; 970 tons have this week been sold at about our lowest quotation, 470 tons of which are to arrive ; upwards of .500 tons of this quautity are taken for export; the holders have met the demand for exportation on liberal terms, and the stock being now much reduced, the market has assumed a firmer aspect. Hemp and Flax remain very dull of sale. The Tallow market is still rather Slat, but no alteration can be noticed in prices; Petersburg yellow Candle is selling in moderate parcels at 490 fid per cwt. ; about 800 pipes Buenos Ayres Tallow will be offered by auction to-morrow. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 24 There has been a pretty good attendance of buyers in our. Cotton Market to-day, and the quantity offering not being more than sufficient to supply choice for the demand, it has met ready sale, at the previous rates of the week. The weekly sales amount to 32,450 bales, of which 3,500 are for export, and 2,600 to speculators, leaving about 26,000 for the trade, which is more than the average consumption, and we trust an indication of improving trade and returning confidence. Prices rule somewhat higher than this day week ; yet we cannot alter our quotations. Brazil and Egyptian are heavy of sale. COTTON MARKET, SEPTEMBER 27 There has been a fair demand for Cotton to-day from the trade who have purchased about 4000 bales at last week's prices, chiefly in American desriptions from 3id to did. COTTON MARKET, ,-WEEKLY RE PORT The demand from the Trade has continued good throughout the week; a fair extent of business has also been done by Exporters and Speculators. In prices no material change has taken place, the last quotations being firmly supported, particularly for the middling qualities of American, upon which, in some instances, an advance of id has been obtained; Brazil, on the other hand, is comparatively heavy of sale, at previous rates. Exporters have taken 3300 American and 200 Surat, and Speculators 2100 American and 100 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, . From the 16th to the 3rd inst.,inclusive.
