Prisoner said that he had recommeded that a doctor s hould come to deceased next day. Dr. Sherlock said, "If a nY doctor comes and gives her medicine, and any thing 8 could happe n t o h er, s h e must b e op e ne d." Th e pr i soner ' s face, on his hearing this, turned blue and yellow, and he aPpeared much disturbed. Next day the prisoner took up a book that witness's son had been reading, and said, " by the contents of this hook, if I had known for what purpose Dr. Sherlock came last night, I would have stuck him, or any one who brought him." I had heard that prisoner kept company with another female. Prisoner and his wife did not agree sometimes. Deceased said he did not give her su tlic:ent support, through keeping Teresa Pearson ; that he way laying by money to go to America. Prisoner told me that he was determined to go to America in April last.

Mr. Rovse attended her in the latter end December and beginning of January. No doc tor attended her at my place but Sir? Rovse. Re -examined.—Deceased said she had a powder given her three weeks before by prisoner —and she (witness) remarked then that she had no need of powders, as she was not ill. George R eam, the son of last witness, b y a former hus band said :—I saw deceased at eleven o'clock, on the night of Saturday, the 19th March. She remarked in the course ( :, f. a conversatio n , th at s h e never f e l t b etter i n he: life. 1 'ter in a room adjoining the prisoner and his wife. He was awaked in the night by hearing . deceased purging and vomit lug. lie called Out, but got no answer. About Christmas deceased had a very sore mouth. but got quite well of it. She had it about six weeks. About three weeks before the deceased left the house for the Infirmary, deceased came down and said that he had been after giving his wife a cool 'ug powder. My mother remarked that she had no need of Powders, and lie said he would kick any one's guts out who Interfered between him and his wife. 'lie prisoner, on one Occasion said to his wife, " I'll get rid of you you Con uatight Prisoner also said, that if he had known ,llr.

The deceased was frequently ill off for want of food—from s upper time till twelvt next Ala never beat his wife but once to my k nowledge. BY a Jo ILYNTAN. —I have heard him say he in; to America. When he said he would soon get r. had been speaking about America. James Sherlock. a druggist at Manchester, said, I was sent f or to the prisoner's lodgings ou Friday, the 22nd of March, and found the prisoner and his wife there. 1 found the de ',eased in a d e bilit a t e d state. Prisoner did not say how long sue hail been ill. I said to deceased " Mistress, you seem to be v ery ill, what have you been taking?" She looked to her husband, and said he would telt him. Prisoner said she had been taking cooling powders. I said " Why, you have au(' but one powder from me, and that was ou Sunday, arid ; W" for the v o miting and purging. Prisoner said she had taken in warm ale. Decea s ed then said she was so very ill a fter taki ng the powder, that she thought she would die. * She said she had a powder on Saturday night late. I asked pri soner shat colour it was, and he said it was white. 1 said it could not be from ore, for my cooling powders are all of a g r ay or b rown i s h co l our, I then said " was it magnesia ?" arid he said it was. Prisoner then said he got it from his (wi tnesses's) brother. Deceased said " how could that be, its Rot more magnesia for a half-penny than you got for a I f ! et uaY ?" Deceased also said that the powders could not be r am witness, as they were made up in such dirty paper, and ul so slovenly a manner. She said she hot as much as W ould lie on t h e po i nt o f a k n if e. O ne - t hi r d of a pennyworth of magnesia, would fill two-thirds of a tea cup. Deceased `'std the first powder was given to her in ale, and the second milk, which it curdled so that she could scarcely drink it and there was like sand at the bottom. The third, she also given in milk, and she could not take it all it was so ;au, arid the remainder was thrown in the tire place. I asked ;: ! . ° 1 if he h a d any more of the cooling powders, and he said Would look. He then took a lotion in a bottle from a s6if ' which I . knew to be a lotion of my own mixing, con tajuioa simple ingredients (which were described) and no arserric. I never gave arsenic without great caution, and wa Ys Put a label upon it. I said, I am afraid you have h eell giaina her something which you ought not to have given •,.er , and ie deceased died, 1 would have the body opened, if avere done at my own expense. On the prisoner hearing this he became extremely agitated, and changed colour in a remarkable manner. His face became of a blueish nasty Fulour, and he appeared about to fall in a fit. He leant one hardly lana a shelf an d th e other on the mantle-piece and could suPPort himself, and was ready to fall. I have mixed the same lotion for years, for sore throats and gums. I never se ll sugar of lead without a label. 9 11 cross-examination the witness again described the (Aron. He did not know what had become of what was contained in the bottle, Ile had known arsenic to be sold t ar cre am of tartar. 1 did not smell or taste the contents of t he bottl e, has known it from its general appearance to have e a,l l repared by himself. s, "li P n Sherlock, brother of last witness, said—l remember tae prisoner coming to the shop on Sunday, the 20th March. He ask e d for something for a woman who had a purging and Yameting. I m a d e up t wo p ow d ers f or hi m , c o ns i s ti ng of I Pieacuhan a &c. (The witness stated the kinds and quan tities of the compounds.) I sold him no arsenic. Nothing particular was elicited on cross-examination. Mrs. Lee, recalled.—There is no reservoir in my house, and we had no arsenic or other medicine in the house. Cross -examined.—The medicine which I saw and which !vas given her in my presence was of a reddish colour, and had rather a pleasant smell. I could see to the bottom of it. Mr. Sherlock re-called.—The medicine (complicated mix ture, with ipicacuhana, &c.,) given from my shop, would so smell, and appears reddish in colour. A meniber of a benefit club, of Manchester, being called, said the prisoner came to me and told me his wife was dead. I accompanied him to the Infirmary, where sl.e died, to ascertain the truth of his statement. There was a sum of ;C:i 15s. due to him as burial money. I asked him if he would bury her ou Sunday, and said he could not tell, as they were for opening the body in the Infirmary, and he was against it as she was. I said that if I was in his place I would, as it might save the lives of others. He said it was her own request. Ann Sanders said :—I was nurse at the Infirmary at the time deceased was there. She told me several times that she would not get better. She made statements to me after sating she thought she would die. She said that her bus hand had, on the Saturday night before she came to the In firmary, given her a powder. I asked her what effect it had. She said that it took away all the, use of her limbs. I asked her if she threw any of it up, and she said she had, but not all of it. She said that on the day before that, her husband e kedas h er i fshe would go to A mer i ca; t h at s h e rep li e d No," and that he said, " No, blast you, I don't want you to go . I have another to go with me !;' She never in my Presence expressed any unwillingness to have her body °Pened after death. • By theJonnE.—No clergyman attended her while she was in the Infirmary. She was a Catholic. , Isaac Phillip son , M anc h es t er p o li ce -officer, said be was Present at the inquest, and heard the statement in writing (Produced,) which was read to the prisoner. The statement trade by the prisoner before the coroner was here read. It !as to the effect, that deceased had been ill of quinsey iu September l as t, and afterwards in January, and got a white Imarder to wash her mouth ; that she got better, but after wards bec ame ill, and got further medicine ; that she was in Le habit h erself of buying and using sugar-of-lead ; that she nSired it up to the Friday before her death ; that he got some tu agnesia to take the blackness out of her mouth ; that it vas divided into three parts, each put in blue paper, and that e gave h er one on Saturday night, one on Sun d ay, toget h er With the draught he got at Mr. Sherlock drau g ht and the other on Mond ay. , The evidence against the prisoner here closed, and Dr. ba n ~W N addressed the jury in his behalf, at considerable sausth, taking advantage of every point that could possibly °Tnstrued to the advantage of the unfortunate man. and commented l earned Judge read over the whole of the evidence, os co mmented upo n it, giving the prisoner the full benefit whatever portions of it seemed to admit of any doubt.

At length after some fruitless attempts; to accomplish their purpose, Mulvey preventing her cries 1)y placing his hand on her mouth, and the same prisoner terrified her by crying " give us that bloody rozor, and we'll cut.her bloody throat ! ' at the same time holding her throat with his thumb and fingers. She was afterwards thrown on her face by the two prisoners, and her clothes was torn. Jones stood by. She begged for mercy, and in order to get clear of them said, she would take off her upper dress, which she did ; but they, finding that she would not yield to them, tore most of the rest of her clothing, and dragged her into'a ditch by the legs. She, however, got up from them, and feeling herself strong, ran off to escape from them, with scarcely any thing on to cover her nakednese. Mulvey then ran before her, and tripped her up, so that go fell on her face, and she became so much terrified that she ran into the river. She did not intend to go to a depth beyond her knee, but on running a few steps, she found herself immersed up to the neck, and was taken up into a boat by the hair' of the head, almost in a state of insensibility, and as the witnesses said, nearly unconscious, by some parties who happened to be rowing past, near the spot. She had a ring on one of her fingers, which was taken from her by the young man who was nut in custody. She was afterwards taken to the house of the superintendent of police in War rington, whose wife found her almost distracted In her mind, and found marks of bruises upon her person. Jones not having taken any active part in the assault, his case was not referred to the jury, and he was discharged. The prosecutrix was stated by the constable to be a respectable woman. The prisoners were defended, but nothing in their behalf was eli cited. The other two were found guilty of the common assault, but not with intent to commit rape.—The learned JUDGE appeared to be somewhat astonished at the verdict, and said that the case was so much the worse. If their passions were not excited, to attempt the graver offence, it was the more disgraceful and unmanly to assault, strip, and terrify almost to death a defenceless and respectable female, — and he sentenced each of them to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 18 calendar months. SENTENCES CONCEALMENT OF PREGNANCY Elizabeth Russell„ who had been charged with the wilful murder of her child, and who had been found guilty, same day, of concealment only, was then placed at the bar for sentence. H is lordship remarked that it was necessary that it should be understood that females who were pregnant should not leave the child which they expected to be born to mere chance, without any preparation for its appearance in the world. The child was as much under the protection of the law of the land as any other individual, and though the prisoner had long borne a good character up to the time of her present offence, he thought, weighing all the circum stances, that he could not do less than inflict in this case a severe punidonent, which was that she should be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years. Charlotte Beriugton, who had last week pleaded guilty to concealmen of pregnancy, and whose case (from the horrible mutilation of the infant in this town,) will be fresh in the recollection of our readers, was the brought up, and was sentenced, with a strong admonition, to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 calendar months. HIGHWAY ROBBERY William Doyle, who had been convicted of taking part in the assault and robbery of James Itimmer, in conjunction with five others, including a brother, and whose sentence had humanely been deferred to give him an opportunity of bring ing up witnesses to character, was then placed at the bar. Several witnesses were called in his behalf, relations and others in apparently humble life. One of them stated that he beliwied he had been led astray by the brother, and that his character had previously been unexceptionable. It appeared, however, from the evidence of a clerk of Mr. Parkinson, of the Bridewell, that he had been several times convicted and imprisoned for felony, and, in the last instance, recently. His Lordship said, that under these circumstances he could not exempt him from the punishment of his associates. He had been found guilty of a highway robbery of great violence, and i❑ the commission of which great artifice had been em ployed. He had no hope of the prisoner's amendment by his being left at large in this country, and the sentence was, that he should be transported beyond the seas for fifteen Years This closed the business of the Crown Court for the pre sent session, with the exception of Miss Crellin's case. The court rose at five o'clock. NISI PRIUS COURT POLLUTION OF A WATER COURSE FARRAR. --YESTERDAY STONE H EWER This was an action to try the right to a water course, which it was alleged the defendant had polluted, to the in jury of the plaintiff. Mr. Wortley, Mr. Seager, and Mr. Watson conducted the plaintiff's case ; and Mr. Baines, Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Brandt that of the defendant. Mr. Wou'reEY stated the case on the part of the plaintiff. The plaintiff was Miss Martha Stonehewer. and the defen dant was Mr. James Farrar, and both carried on the busi ness of dyers and bleachers at Calder Clough, iu the town ship of Pilkington. Their works were on the same stream, the plaintiff's being lower down, and the defendant's higher up the stream. The plaintiff's works were established in 1801, and she succeeded to them upon the death of her fa ther in the year 1840; consequently they had been esta blished for more than forty years, during which time busi ness had been done to a considerable extent. The stream, though a small one, was very important; and the complaint of the plaintiff was, that by the working of the defendant's dye and bleach works, he had thrown down a great quantity of refuse and filth, which filled up her reservoirs, making them less valuable to her works, and sent down a quantity of chemical ingredients in solution with the water, which had a most injurious effect upon the plaintiff's bleaching. The yarn, instead of coming out a pure white, was streaked, so that it was not of the same value as it would other wise be. When the plaintiff's works were originally esta blished, there was nothing where the defendant's works were ; but about the year 1809 a Mr. Kay put up a tub, where he used to wash cotton wool, but that lasted only a short time, when it was discontinued. Nothing was done afterwards from that time till about the year 1822, when the defendant and his brother begun the business of dying, at first to a small extent, employing only one man, then three, arid then increasing their works to their present extent, which was very considerable. Now, Mrs. Stonehewer had a right to have the water of the stream to come to her in the same quantity and in the same state and condition as it would at that point before the defendant's works were established, unless it could be shown by the clefe-mlant that he had made use of the water for twenty years, as he did now, without interruption, and with the acquiescence of the plaintiff. But, so far from this, in the year 1834 Mr. Stonehewer, the plaintiff's father, complained to Mr. Woodcock, the agent of Lord Derby, to whom the land belonged, that the de fendant's works made the water impure. Mr. Woodcock remonstrated with Mr. Farrar, and requested that something might be done to abate the nuisance. Mr. Farrar, in a spirit of candour and good sense which did him credit, said, " I am aware of it ; it must be a nuisance ; and I think I can remedy it if you will procure me leave to make some filtering pits upon some adjoining land belonging to Lord Derby." Mr. Woodcock applied to the tenant, leave was granted, and a small plot of laud was marked out upon which the defendant was allowed to make some filters. To a certain extent this was successful. Here, then, there was ,a distinct re ' cognition of the rights of the plaintiff—that the defendant had no right to send down the water in the state com plained of. Subsequently, these filters, it was found, from not having been kept in proper order, and from some other cause, did not serve the purpose for which they were originally set up. Above all, it was found that the particles which were retained by the filters, were not the particles which did the injury ; but, that those ingredients which did the injury were held in solutions in the water. The most in lurious of them was iron. In the course of dying a large quantity of copperas was used, in which a large proportion of iron was found, and this was the iron which was held in solution in the water, and it was so mixed with the water that no filter could cure it. The effect of this was, that when the plaintiff came to scour the yarn in the the water, instead of coming out white, as it ought to do, it came out streaked. As to the bleaching, the defendant had only carried it on since 1840; so there was no pretence to set up an older right than the plaintiff's with respect to them. He (the learned counsel) did not know what defence would be set up, but he rather thought that his learned friends would rely on proving that they were not the parties who did the injury, but that it was a gentleman named Buckley, from whose works there was a sough which emptied itself into the stream a little above the defendant's works. In the first place, however, he (Mr. Wortley) should prove that this sough was very seldom used ; and, besides, that experimen,s had been tried with the water in several places, and that it was found pure above the sough, and below the sough, and next below the filters, where it was found impregnated with the particles which the plain tiff complained of as doing her this injury. The learned counsel said these were the principal facts which he should prove. The question was not one of damages, but one of right, and he, felt assured that the jury would decide it in a proper and just way. A great mass of evindnce from bleachers, dyers, and che mists, was then given in support of the plaintiff's case. Mr. BAINES then opened the case for the defendant, and after occupying about an hour with his statement, he con cluded by proposing a reference. Mr. WORTLEY acquiesced, and at half-past two o'clock the cause was referred to a legal arbitrator. LOCK, ASSIGNEE, V. PARKER In this case a verdict for the plaintiff was entered by con sent for £2,080 subject to a special case. VALIDITY OF A WILL.-NOWLAND V. BANKS AND ANOTHER. This was an action of replevin. Mr. Baines and Mr. Paget appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Knowles and Mr. Crompton for the defendant. According to the rule in such cases, the right to commence lay in the defendant; and Mr. KNOWLES proceeded to state the circumstances. The question was, whether the plaintiff held certain premises as the tenant of Sarah Banks. The premises were situated in Joseph-court, Ray-street, and though there was some other property involved in the case, they were composed only of a very small dwelling-house, which had been for some time let to the plaintiff, as a monthly tenant. She occupied them for some time under the owner, James Green, who died in Ja nuary last, and devised them, by his will, dated 18.29, to the defendant, Mrs. Banks, with whom he had lived for several years. The plaintiff, urged it was said by two persons, named Norbury and Slowman, thought proper to deny the title of Mrs. Banks; Mrs. Banks distrained, and the result was that the present action was instituted, in order to tty the validity of the will. A considerable number of witnesses were then called in support of the will. It appeared to have been made in 1829 by Mr. Crewe, an attorney, since dead, and was witnessed by the late Dr. Christian. Mr. Crewe's son, Mr. Thomas Parkinson, clerk at St. Mark's Church, Mr. Thomas Cross, innkeeper, Mr. Joseph Nodin, druggist, and several other witnesses, deposed that they knew the testator, who lived for several years with Mrs. Banks, and that they had fre quently heard him declare that he would bequeath all his property to her. She had been so kind to him, and leave none to his sisters as they had kidnapped hqn, and endeavoured to keep him in their own hands The witnesses stated that they had each conversed with him many times. Being deformed and a cripple, he was somewhat repulsive at first in his manners, but after wards, on better acquaintance, he could converse in a ra tional manner. He talked most frequently on religious sub jects. He was, at all events, competent to make a will. Mr. BAINES, on the other side, in a powerful speech, said that so far from the testator being competent to decide his property, he should show by the most unquestionable tes timony directly the reverse. Mrs. Hannah Farren proved his imbilcile state. Another witness, named Mary Wain, was called, when his lordship inquired whether there was a prospect of the cause Occupying long? Mr. BAINES replied, that he had many more witnesses to call, and the case would certainly occupy considerable time. Mr. Justice MAULS said, that under these circumstances he would p rocee d no f urt h er to - n i g ht. The Court adjourned at a quarter to six o'clock. THE CAUSE LIST SALFORD HUNDRED.

We will try and make room for notices before the month is out; if we cannot, in the mean time, we recommend them all to the attention of our readers. Mr. Henry Cromwell has requested us to publish the follow ing statement with -reference to a paragraph inserted in the STANDARD of Tuesday last, headed "A Trumpery Case," which was tried at the Court of Passage some time during the previous week :—" I had occasion, in my business, to call at Mr. Timcthy's, in Lime-street. The defendant, Garner, met me there. He offered live pounds to one against Attila winning the Derby; I accepted it, and then left. On the following day I met him again ; he asked if I would double the bet, as he always considered the field the best chance. I told him that I was not a betting man, and did not wish to be considered so. However, he pressed me, and I took his second bet of five to one, and that. too, in the presence of gentlemen whose respectability will not be doubted. I booked it, read it over to him, and he assented to it ; and the gentlemen who heard the bet, still affirm that lam entitled to the money. Unfortunately, my witnesses were not, in court when the case came on, and that is the only reason why it broke down." riAir Ziberpool gPtanbarb. THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 9, 1342 It will be seen by a report in our columns this day that judgment has at length been given, by the highest court in the realm, in the long disputed case of Lady Ilewley's charity. By this decision the claim of the Socinian party to the funds in question is finally set at rest, and we have no doubt that, as its result, that party will now be compelled to unclose their grasp upon numberless similar charities which they have for years past usurped and perverted to the spread of their noxious and u... ,ristian schism. The community owe not a little to the editor of the Liverpool Journal—(or possibly to some reverend bachelor who may have occupied his stool on Saturday last)—for the admissions with which he has furnished us in his remarks upon the subject of the corporation schools : "The Education Committee," &c., writes the Journal, " from whom a return is at last wrung, state, we observe, the number of pupils on the books of the corporation schools at — N. School. S. School. Members of the Church of England 614 Protestant Dissenters Roman Catholics 874 558 We strongly suspect that in the second term are included methodists, and they principally ; for though methodists do not call themselves dissenters, they are the only protestants we are aware of not in communion with the established church, who can consistently allow their children to receive the religious education now given in these schools. That there is, properly speaking, one Roman catholic in the schools, we do not believe. We believe that the authors of that report, whoever they be—of course the chairman and majority of the members of the committee are mere puppets in the matter—are telling in substance, if not in terms, a shameless falsehood. We do not believe there is one child who is in communion, or whose parents arc in communion with the church to which it is said he belongs. If he enters the school a Roman catholic, it is impossible that a Roman catholic he can remain ; for, by whatever priest he applies to for the rites of his church, he will be told that he is daily in the commission of sin by complying with the regulations of the school in religious matters." We point the especial attention of our readers to the part which we have marked with italics. To what ever priest a Roman Catholic child who attends these schools may apply for the rites of his church, by that priest he will be refused those rites. He will be told that in attending the corporation schools he is " DAILY IN THE COMMISSION OF ISIN V' In submitting to hear read, not the Church Catechism, not Church of England doctrines, but THE BIBLE, unaccompanied by Romish comments and notes—the word of God, unaccompanied by the glossings of man—he is offend ing against God 0) and is to be put forth from the church to which he belongs ! But proceed we with the remarks of our Romish journalist : " It is just possible that there may be that number of children of the most dissolute and destitute classes of society, whose parents, having been originally catholics or of catholic descent, without openly renouncing their creed have adopted no other, and are practically without any profession of re ligion at all. It is certainly very proper that these poor children should be educated ; it is proper that if their parents wish it they should be brought up as protestants—much better, we think the most zealous catholic must allow, than that they should receive no spiritual care, no moral culture whatever." The admissions here, coming from a Romish organ, are certainly important and striking. There may be, we are told, a number of children of Romish parents who are "PRACTICALLY WITHOUT RELIGION AT ALL ;" and these Romanism would allow to be edu cated and even to "be brought up as Protestants." The latter even is " much better than that they should receive no spiritual care, no moral culture whatever!" But what says this very doctor in the passage just be fore quoted ? Why, that these very children, not in being "brought up as Protestants," which, in fact, they are not, but in "complying with the regulations of the school in religious matters"—in reading any version of the Scriptures which is not accompanied by Romish comments—are "daily in the commission of sin !" These very neglected children—" children of the most dissolute and destitute classes of society"— will be told by their priests, if they apply for the rites of the church which professes to have the spiritual care of their souls, that they are "daily in the commission of sin," unless they resign that education which is ad mitted to be " better than no spiritual care, no moral culture whatever !" Truly, Popery preaches a most irreconcileable doctrine when she allows herself to be betrayed into professions of tolerance and liberality ! But let us contrast the doctrine of the learned Journalist with that of another le;:rned Theban—Mr. Francis Jordan. That eminent authority has for thirty years been connected withi Saint Patrick's school, and esteems its greatest merit to consist in the fact that there "no religion is taught"—that there "reli gion is excluded" altogether ! How, then, can the Journal for a moment hesitate in giving his preference, even;for the children of poor Roman Catholics, to the corporation schools, as at present conducted, over the school in question, when he admits that " the most zealous Catholic must allow" the education received in the former to be " much better" for the children in question " than that they should receive no spiritual care, no moral culture, whatever ?" We leave the jesuit and the layman to settle this discrepancy between them. • There are one or two facts, which the debate of Wednesday and the comments upon it of the Romish journalist are amply sufficient to establish ; and we would recommend them to the serious consideration of that portion of the Conservative body in the council who profess to be guided, in their future conduct upon the subject of education in the corporation schools, by not, and cannot be true ! the effort DOWN ! the working of the system of the present committee. In the first place it is plain that the publication of re turns such as are here commented upon can never be other than most inimical to the really advantageous working of the system. It must bring priestly influ ence to bear upon the hundreds of poor Roman Cath olic parents who, but for such influence, would gladly embrace the benefits offered them in these schools for their destitute children. To no good result, that we know of, can it lead; for :admitting that in time the returns may show a large increase of Roman Catholic seholars, we shall always have jesuitical commentators vady to prove that the very result which they show is In the next place it is plain that, notwithstanding which may be used by the priesthood to prevent the attendance of the children of Roman Catholics at these schools, the present excitement upon the subject and these " returns," which tend to pro long it, being withdrawn, a large field of usefulness is open to the Education Committee. No Roman Catholic child, we are told by the Journal,—none, at least, " who is in communion or whose parents are in com munion" with the Church of Rome—can possibly be an attendant of the schools without ipse facto ceasing to he "a Catholic." But may wct.not ask how many are there of the 80,000 Roman Catholics resident in Liverpool who are not "in communion"—who are, in fact, although " Catholics", in name, yet " practically without any profession of religion at all ?" There are, we may venture to say, THOUSANDS amongst us of this " most dissolute and destitute class"---4housands for whom Popery does absolutely nothing,—who are wrecks upon the face of society, abandoned, untaught, and uncared for ;—unnoticed, even, except when a contribution is to be extorted for " the church" or a "rite for some truculent agitator. Amongst the children of this " destitute class" of our fellow-towns men, the benefits of a Scriptural education may be widely diffused, if the council and the committee fear lessly do their' duty. Nay, it is because those benefits will be so diffused—because those thousands of children who are " practically without religion at all" are about, we trust, to 'be raised from their present degrading ignorance, and placed, in intelligence and in Scriptural knowledge, above, the bigotry of ROme, that Popery FEARS THE PRESENT SYSTEM, AND WOULD PUT IT The news furnished us by the arrival of the overland mail from India are of a nature which it is difficult indeed to contemplate with satisfaction. • It is true we have no disastrous reverses to grieve over. So far as we can understand it, our policy in Aifghanistan has been attended with entire success. No apparent enemy threatens the safety of our troops in that country. No overwhelming difficulty seems to exist to prevent our vindication of the power and the .prestige of Great Britain in the eyes of the Asiatic nations, by a march upon Cabul and the dictation of terms of peace to an humbled if not a subjugated enemy. And yet we have every reason to believe that the armies of England are about to withdraw—we shrink from saying, to retreat —beyond the Indus,—the honour and the power of England but feebly asserted, and our slaughtered fellow-countrymen, whose bones now whiten upon the field of their death, unburied and unavenged. We have never urged, and we urge not now, a .war of retaliation—of RETRIBUTORY MURDER—against the tribes of Affghanistan. We entered their territory, in the outset, with a criminal object in view. 'We have outraged by this unhappy step international law and eternal justice ; and the doom which fell upon our heads, dare we say it was not the award of an avenging God upon us for a national crime ? It is, perhaps, not more than the submission which we owe to out raged humanity and justice that we should retract from our criminal quarrel. But we are far from being con vinced that it is in such a spirit that the alleged ordi nance of the Governor-General of India has been issued for the withdrawal of our troops from beyond the Indus. From Lord Ellenborough and from the present administration we expected no blind perseve rance in a fatal wrong—no murderous and revengeful policy; no colonization of a country to which we have no claim ;—bnt as little did we anticipate a step, such as the immediate abandonment of Atfghanistan ap pears to be, which must fasten upon our reputation, in the eyes of she eavag-e tribes by whom our.lndian eui pire is surrounded, the taint of weakness in maintaining .ci quarrel superadded to thatof injust ic e commencing one! n Most strongly do we fear, therefore, that the posi tion of British power in India is not at this moment so secure as we would wish it to be ; —that our retirement from Affghanistan is a step dictated by imperious ne cessity, to preserve us from threatening evils nearer the centre of our own territory. We cannot for a mo ment bring ourselves to believe, that without some strong overruling circumstances, such a step would be taken. We are confident, at least, that the Governor- General of India would never dare so far to outrage the feelings of Englishmen as to desert those unhappy fellow-countrymen and countrywomen who are held in bondage by their barbarous and treacherous captors, whilst the possibility remained within his reach of striking a blow for their relief. With our present deficiency of information we shall say no more upon this distressing subject. But, if we mistake not, a day must shortly come when it will be not our duty alone but the duty of every Englishman to speak out upon it, and to speak firmly and deci sively ; and when no legislature will be permitted to throw its shield between CRIMINALS, against the Bri tish nation, however high their rank, and the just punishment which they have earned ! This day—so at least we are informed by placards posted on our walls—the town of Liverpool is to be visited by no less a personage than "the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of Dublin (!)"—better known to the world as THE BEGGARMAN, DANIEL O'CONNELL ! The object—the professed object, rather,—of this mean and malignant creature's appearance amongst us—is to assist in some mendicant exhibition to be got up to-day at the Amphitheatre, in behalf of " the society of Saint Francis Xavier." What this society or who this Saint may be, or what are their joint claims upon the pockets of the Irish Papists of Liverpool, of course, the majority of the dupes who may be collected toge ther upon the occasion know not. Of the saint him self all that we remember at this moment is that he was the founder of the order of Jesuits—an order which, for its political interferences with the liberties of the human race, has been proscribed from time to time in every state in Europe, and which is at this moment prohibited, under pains and penalties, from showing its head in these realms. Of the society whose progress amongst us the object of the meeting in the Amphitheatre is to advance, we can only con clude that it is, in fact, the obnoxious Jesuit order in question. Some great Popish work is no doubt just now to be advanced by the society and the saint, for which money is required; and, upon the principle, we pre sume that great instruments must be used for the achievement of great ends, the most eminent mendi cant of the day has been retained for the occasion, and will, in addition to the exercise of his excruciating power of wheedling the gullible public, ex hibit hi s " most sweet person" at the charge of " two shillings and sixpence do the boxes and eighteenpence to the pit," the gallery being permitted to see and shout at the monster gratis. the common qualities most in reque export d although th tion in our cotton marl return to spund business, facturing districts night-and-day working— THE CHURCH.- LOCAL NEWS, "We should not have advertised, as we do, by the present notice, "the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor of Dublin," or the object for which he exhibits whisper whi c h h as reac h e d us himself to- day, but for a of another performance to be enacted during his stay amongst as, We have heard that a certain unhappy imbecile--(who is chiefly remarkable as p resen ti ng to the world a living proof that the wisdom of a man is not in 'proportion. to the breadth of the brim upon his beaver)—has expressed his intention to accompany the right honourable beggar in a visit t o t h e merc h ants upon. our Exchange.

The Soci n i an an d the Papist agitator, arm in arm, will this day, we believe, dare the same storm of indignant reprobation and openly expressed disgust from the me.reantile aristocracy of Liverpool, which rewarded a siaular attempt on a former occasion ; and we venture to assure th em t h a t they will receive it no stinted mea sure and in no diluted quality. STATE OF TRADE, MANUFACTURES, 84c If the state of our Cotton Market may be taken as any criterion, the improvement in the trade of this district can we should imagine, no.longer be denied by the most ha their statements, amongst the distress-mongers. During the week ending Friday last, the sales made amounted•to no less than 54,000 bales; and this, be it remarked, was the third or fourth week of extensive and progressively increasing firmness of demand. Of the above quantity 13,000 bales were taken by speculators, and 750 for export, leasing still upwards of 30,000 bale. taken by the trade. The market closed on Friday very firmly, with an advance upon last week's quotations, of id. to id. per lb. upon American sorts, On Saturday the business was again large, amounting to 10,000 bales, of which 2000 are on speculation, and 500 for The sales yesterday amounted to fully 7 cipally to the trade. Our broker, upon whose evil, can depend, remarks in his circular, that dually tightening, other days, yet there is a feeling of health and confident that gives an assurance that, at the bottom the foundation is good." To those who have witnessed the wildness of specu- et in the time of whip prosperity, and its two frequent disastrous consequences, the present mea- sures and sober improvement speak volumes in favor of The same encouraging accounts greet us from the manu We hear of no "large orders' printers flying over the moon, or picking up tens of thou sands in a morning. On the contrary, distress still exists to a greater or less extent amongst all these classes, or nearly all. The improved business is gradual, but it is felt never theless. It is seen in the faces and in the transactions of men who loudly deny its existence; and it is seen most in the increased bustle and activity which pervades every tho- roughfare throughout our manufacturing town The only drawback we have to notice is a rumour circa- latcd upon our Exchange yesterday, of au approaching turn out of the hands of some of our mills. We fear it is too true that many encroachments upon the wa of these parties have been made and submitted to during the late severe d pression. It is, however, too early now to move towarc a remedy of this evil, and we are confident any movement now will be fruitless, if indeed it be likely at any future time to be successful. Manufacturing wages never rise again if once knocked down ! We trust, however, that the rumour i❑ question will not be confirmed. The British and North American royal mail steamer Aca dia, which would leave Boston on the Ist and Halifax on tile 3d instant, may be expected to arrive at this port on or be fore Saturday next. THE CROWN Comm—The business in this court is now finished, with the exception of the cases in' which Miss Crellin is concerned, which will be commented with first thing this morning. In all probability they will occupy two days or more. The pretty village of Eastham presented a very gay ap pearance on Thursday week, in consequence of a party of upwards of fifty gentlefolk having assembled for the purpose of ruralising for the day.

MELANCHOLY DEATH FROM DROWNING.—We regret to announce the death of Mr. Brown, collector at Monks' Ferry, Birkenhead. Mr. Brown left home on Monday morning, and went to the Potteries, on the Lancashire shore, where he continued the whole of the day. Early on Tues day morning, after breakfast, he proceeded towards the shore, undressed himself, left his clothes on the beach, and went into the river in fifteen feet water In a few minutes he was seen to sink. The body, in the course of ten minutes, was found. All exertions made to restore animation proved un successful. ad Colo►. romovendi CHANGE RINGING.—On Tuesday evening last the united change ringers of St. Nicholas and St. Peter's ascended the tower of St. Nicholas's Church, in this town, and rung a true peal of Grandsire Caters, consisting of 5,201 changes, in three hours and twenty-one minutes. The above peal was rung in a masterly style by the under-mentioned persons : John Brooks, 3d; John F. Miller, 4th ; John Heron, sth ; Henry Moore, 6th ; George Jones, 7th ; Hugh Wahnsle) Bth ; Charles Smith, 9th; Richard Cross, 10th Edward Davies and William Heron, 11th ; Thomas Sockett and Edward Leeman, tenor. Weight of the tenor, 2 tons 1 cwt. 14 lbs. The peal was ably conducted by John Heron. APPOINTMENT OF AN OPHTHALMIC SURGEON TO THE WORKHOUSE.—We understand that for many years past a disease of the eyes has been prevailing in the Liverpool Workhouse, which has been exceedingly fatal in its results, numbers of the children, and even adults, being deprived of sight, and rendered, much disfigu re d b y t h e i r en l arge d an d protruded eyeballs, and hence perpetual drains upon the parish funds. It gives us much pleasure to announce, that these evils are likely to be remedied by the judicious appoint ment, by the Board of Guardians, of r: Neill, surgeon of the Ophthalmic Infirmary, to the superintendence of the eye department of this establishment ; and we are sure, if energy and skill can do anything in checking or alleviating the evil, the Board of Guardians have done well in obtaining the ser vices of this gentleman, whose great experience and success in the treatment of eye disease have made him the provincial authority on this subject. OUR REPRESENTATIVES.—We have again to notice the services rendered by our excellent members to the general interests of our trading community. On Thursday, the 28th ult., a deputation from this town of merchantsi connected with the trade to the River Plate waited on the Eail of Aber deen, when they were not only accompanied in a mere formal manner by Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas, but a zealous co-operation in the furtherance of the objects of the deputation, and a lively interest in the business in band, were the distinguishin g traits in the conduct of our honour able members on this occasion. Thus it has invariably been in every case where their services were required ; and it should not be lost sight of that when honourable members thus zealously and willingly exert themselves, they are en titled to the hearty thank s an d confidence f the country at large. THE EXHIBITION AT THE MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. —The splendid exhibition at the Mechanics' Institution ter minated on Saturday week. At half-past seven in the even ing, there was a meeting in the Lecture Room of the Insti tution, for the purpose of making known the results of the exhibition. The room was crowded, and on the platform were assembled a number of the directors and of other gen tlemen. Mr. W. B. Hodgson stated the results of the ex hibition. The receipts, of course, would not be fully made up until ten o'clock ; but he was enabled to state that they would not be above £3O short of £4OOO. (Much applause.) The total receipts of the last exhibition were £3300. Now, as that was open thirty-eight days, while this had been open only thirty-six, it would be seen that a very great increase had taken place in the receipts, comparing the one with the other. The average daily receipts had been nearly £llO. Mr. Hodgson proceeded to give the number of visitors, up to the time at which he was speaking, and several other re sults, as far as they could then be ascertained ; but those we omit, and furnish a statement of the results up to the close of the exhibition. It is as follows :—Total receipts, £3,985 13s. 11d.; average daily receipts, £lO7 13. 4d.; greatest amount taken in one day, £2lO Gs. Id. ' • the least ditto, £4O 4s. Id. Number of season ticket sold at 2s. Gd., 3,636, of which 3,017 were purchased before the end of the first three weeks of the exhibition, and 619 after the price was reduced to non-members from ss. to 2s. 6. Number of season tickets sold at 55., 699. Number of visitors in forenoon for the thirty-six days, 18,802 ; ditto afternoon, 57,014 ; average daily attendance in the forenoon, 522; ditto afternoon, 1,583; number of pupils belonging to the charity schools who were allowed to visit the exhibition gratuitously, say `20,000; household servants during last week, 310. The aggregate number of persons who had visited the exhibition was, there fore, about 100,000. Several speeches were made by different gentlemen. AMUSEMENTS 01? THE WERK.—Those who have time to devote to amusement may find it well occupied. At the Lyceum there is a wondeful skeleton found by Dr. Koch, in the State Missouri, called Missourium Theristrocaulodon. The elephant beside this mighty beast must have looked in the same proportion as the ox to the elephant—in fact, the Lyceum Room is not high enough to elevate it to its proper proportion. We earnestly recommend our readers to inspect this wonder of nature, not only a us stupendous Zoological specimen, but as exemplifying passages in the bible that have long been the subject of mystery.—we allude to the 41st Chapter in the Book of Job, where the Leviathan is men tioned. As we shall devote a space to this exhibition pro bably in our next, we merely recommend it to notice, pre suming that the spectator cannot fail to be struck with sur prise, awe, and admiration. The next object of note is the perillustri et eonsultiss utriusqueet philosophise doctor Rock Harmonicon at the Music Hall. This instrument is beautifully played upon by Mr. Davies, who so cleverly touched a similar instrument of Richardson's some time ago. Mr. Catlin's lectures in the evening are well worth attention. By means of twenty persons, lie shows the different groups, pictures, &c., exhibited by him at the Mechanics Institution. His lectures are at the Portico, and are of a most interesting and instructive character. Mr. Catlin for a long time in London drew crowds of visitors. The Photographic Gallery, although not coming within the class of amusements to the visitor in Liverpool, is worthy of attention. The likenesses taken are excellent. MURDER IN LIVERPOOL.—On Saturday last an inquisi tion was taken before the deputy coroner, on view of the body of Catherine Carney, aged 31. Four witnesses were examined, but the evidence of Superintendent Leverett and the house surgeon at the Infirmary, will give all the material circumstances of the case. The former gentleman stated, that on Monday week, lie went, by direction of the Com missioner of Police, to the Infirmary, to see the deceased. She declared her impression that she could not recover. She told witness, in the presence of Mr. Brandreth, that at five o'clock on the morning of the sth July, she was in the street, not far from St. James's Church, when two men accosted her, laid their hands on her shoulders, and called her an Irish b . They went away, but returned shortly after, - and knocked her down, beat and kicked her violentl y w hile she lay on the ground, saving, "We'll finish you, you o ld Orange b-." She called loudly for a police-officer, and, at length, one came to her, but she could remember nothing further.

There are, by the way, many No. gents amongst the party to which this Nugent belongs. GERMAN DIPLOMA.—We learn from the Albion that Mr. William Radcliffe, one of the first pupils of the Liverpool Mechanics' Institution (and son of our respected townsman, Mr. John S. Radcliffe, late secretary to the institution,) has had the degree of Doctor of Philosophy conferred upon him by the University of Geissen, in Germany. We understand that the celebrated professor of chemistry in that university, Dr. Leibig, is about to visit the principal universities in England and Scotland, and that he will be accompanied , by his late pupil,' Dr. Radcliff.

THE CHEAP TRAINS TO LONDON.—WC gave on Tues day last a description of the scene at Edge Hill on the pre vious day occasioned by the departure of the trains for Lon don. The trains reached Londori, respectively, at six and seven in the evening, and the passengers were soon spread among“ the population of that vast city. On Tuesday !nornin. to be seen t )- "-sq. their ...6 numerous parties were ..nreadin6 Way through the crowded streets, gazing with astonishment at the unusual scenes around them. and anxiously inquiring for the various objects of interest and attraction which are to be found in such abundance in London. O❑ the succeed ing days, many availed themselves of the rapid and cheap modes of travelling by railway and steam-packets to visit the interesting spots around the metropolis. Greenwich, Woolwich, Gravesend, &c. were among the places thus visit ed, and many found their way to Windsor, in order, if pos- sible, to have a peep at England's Queen, a desire which, we believe.was gratified. The trains started, on their' return to Liverpool, at ten and eleven o'clock on Thursday evening. The whole uumber of passengers, however, did not return by them, many being unwilling to leave London so soon, preferring rather to pay the extra charge by the regular trains to a curtailment of their pleasures. We understand, that, in the coarse of a month or two, there will be another trip of the same kind. Tit E TABLES ToRNED.—On Saturday Christopher O'Hara was placed at the Police -court, charged with having stolen a quantity of cotton and ropes from a bonded ware house, in the possession of Mr. Howard Horsley. in Seel street. The evidence against O'Hara v effect, that heard of the robbery followed the cart n. The officer took in into custody, upon which the prisoner informed that functionary that he bad been employed by Mr. llorsley's warehouseman, Charles Strugnal, (who was in court) and who was at a certain public-house, which he named. Strug nal denied all knowledge of the transaction. A sample of the cotton was produced. It was not cotton waste or pick ings, but clean, good cotton, which appeared to have been pulled forth, in considerable masses, from the apertures made for sampling. The prisoner said lie was employed by Strugnal to pick all the cotton ropes he could find, and place them in a bag, which he did; that Strugnal cut down a bundle of ropes and added them to the others. He (thepri soner) was required to cut some canvas, and for this purpose he borrowed Strugnal's knife, which he had kept in his posses sion till taken by the policeman, to whom he deliveted it. [The officer here produced the knife.] Ile had no needle, and he asked Strugnal for one, who told him to go to one of the upper rooms and borrow one. He went up stairs and asked an old man, named Johnson. One of the packers told Johnson that he (the prisoner) had borrowed a hook from a comrade, and had lost it ; upon which Johnson refused to lend him the needle. Shortly afterwards, however, Johnson went dowa stairs and lent the needle and a palm to Strug nal, saying he would lend them to the warehouseman, but not to O'Hara. Strugnal took the needle and palm, and deli vered them to him (the prisoner.) Having finished his work, he engaged the cart, as ordered by Strugnal, and, by his or ders also, took the cotton and ropes away to sell them. He was to meet Strugnal at the public-house where the police mon found him. Strugnal had given him orders to be at the warehouse at eight o'clock on Friday last; he overslept him self, and did not go till nine. Strugnal then told him to meet him there at 12. lie did meet him there at 12, and was seen speaking to him, as was afterwards proved by a gentle man who occupies one of the rooms in M r. IL's warehouse. Mr. Rushton ordered the man Johnson to besent for. On the arrival of this man, be swore that he had never seen the prisoner in his life before, and that no such circumstance as that mentioned by the prisoner had occurred. The earnest ness of the prisoner in questioning this man created a for cible impression of his innocence, during which Strugnal was visibly agitated. Mr. Rushton ordered the other men to be sent tor. Only one of them could be found. Ilis name is Duncan Gordon. On being questioned, he fully confirmed the statement made by the prisoner as to the loan of the needle and palm, thereby showing that the prisoner had been employed in the warehouse with the full knowledge of Strug nal. Mr. Horsley produced a book kept by the warehouse man, in which an account is kept of the men employed. The naive of the prisoner did not appear in it. Mr. Horsley said it was impossible that the prisoner could be employed in the warehouse a sufficient length of time to collect so much cotton without the knowledge of the warehouseman. Mr. Rushton ordered that the prisoner O'Hara should be discharged, and Strugnal taken into custody. This order was obeyed, when O'Hara was placed in the witness-box and his evidence taken. Strugnal made a rambling statement, de nying that he had given the orders to O'Hara, and speaking somewhat at large of his duties and responsibilities. Mr. Rushton said he had no doubt, not only that Stragnal did give the order, but that he had attended the court with the deliberate intention of swearing, away the liberty of the poor man who had just been discharged from the bar. Strugnal was committed for trial. THEATRE ROYAL Last evening, the celebrated Miss Adelaide Kemble made her first courtesy before a Liverpool audience, in her favourite character of Norma, in Bellini's opera of that name. Of the opera itself we do not consider it to be an original one, as there are a great many repetitions of " Son natnbula" occurring throughout—but it is, nevertheless, a delightful production, and will always maintain its hold on public opinion. Miss Kemble, s the bright and brilliant star of the musical hernißphere, has blazed upon us with rays as pure as we have been all along led to ex pect. She is, indeed, a distinguished singer and a finished actress. She is Pasta redivivus : no one has come .near her, either in point of genius, science, or taste, since that gifted creature delighted thousands of hearers. Miss Kemble's voice is clear as a silver bell, every tone is pure and replete with melody ; her lower notes are full of volume, while her upper ones are incomparably sweet. Her power of sustaining her notes is truly wonderful—she com pletely realizes the poets expression, " a linked sweetness long drawn out." Her execution is finished and artistical, while the power and compass of her voice is very great. Her recitative is chaste beyond expression ; every word finds a dis tinct utterance, and the full meaning to each is conveyed. Her pathos, tenderness and delicacy of expression is consummate ; in fact her singing falls upon the ear, making the same im pression ou the mind as a true picture of Correggio, when it meets the sight. Nature has been bountiful to the Kemble family ; she appears to have been lavish in deed upon " thi s noble daughter of the gifted race," while science has perfected the exquisite work. Miss Kem ble's opening scena won for her the fullest meed of appro bation, which she maintained throughtont her performance. Miss Kemble is not only a wonderful singer, but an actress of great ability. Without having absolute graces of person, all her action is replete with feeling and truthfulness ; in fact, Miss Kemble's Norma, we look upon as near perfection as we ever hope to see. Flattering as this may s eem , i t i s hardly sayi ng enoug h. Miss Rainforth's Adelgisa was a sweet andtgraceful effort. She stands well, even in com parison with Miss Kemble. She sang through ou t w i t h great taste and excellence, and it is no common treat to hear her. Mr. Shrivall possesses a good tenor voice, sometimes re minding us of Wood. He appears caref u l an d c l ever, but without much enthusiasm. Mr. Eaton sang Flavius well. Last; though not the, least, inthis talented g rou p, comes our young townsman, Mr. W. Wtess, and we can safely say, that we see no cause to regret hazarding the prophecy we did, when he sang down here some mon th s ago — t h at h e wou ld be an acquisition to the musical world, and an honor to his profession. His. welcome was a hearty one, an d it was pleasant to - find him so honored—by the most brilliant, full, and fashionable house of the season. He sang Oceveso throughout with great tast e an d s pi r it, hi s d ee p bass voice " coming out" of the loudest chorus. We must say chat 3 1 1 , 1 1 , t Kemble's threatened retir em e n t f rom the stage wi li n r ller m -purest ornament ; and those who wish to bear a_ v; w ° i that y singer must not forget that on four nights moree I hasty opportunity be afforded.

The following resolution adopted at a meeting of the committee of the Toxteth.parlc Protestant Operative Association must be highly gratifying to that gentleman and the conser vat i ve councillors generally, as indee it has been well and hardly earned : chat this meeting regards with d ee p i n t eres t proceedings of the Town Council with especial reference to the education question, and be ,, to express -th e i r high ad miration of the conduct of DavieHodgson, E sq ., and here by beg to tender him and those who supported him their most sincere thanks, and pray that . God may always support and defend them against the vile abuse and malignant attacks of the enemies of our Protestant principles. (Signed) " CHARLES .HUNTON, Secretary. " Committee-room, Toxteth-hall, " August 6, 1842." " Resolved,— In connexion with the debate in question, we may revert to an insulting remark applied to Mr. Hodgson in the ,Coun cil, by Mr: Alderman Evans, to the effect that Mr. Hodgson dared not make use of certain language to him " out of that place." If has, we understand, been made a subject of some chuckling by the radical faction, that this significant hint of pistols and daggers was not at once taken notice of by Mr. Hodgson in a - fighting. spirit, If we are not mis taken, however, the reply of Mr. llodgson, which was not loud enough to be heard accurately by the reporters, was perfectly satisfactory to his assailant, with respect to the reason why no provocation could induce him to notice the irascible a.dermau " out of doors." As the admirers of the latter gentleman have not the advantage of knowing what was the reason alleged, we favour them wit the reply of Mr. Hodgson which• • I utter what . ;oho voce, was rievertheless r;Cro7t upon either the Alderman or ourselves. It was to the effect that Mr. Hodg son " was not likely to notice Mr. Evans elsewhere as a reminiscence not very gratifying to that gentleman's self complacency or manners would suggest to him. He had been guilty in times past of an obset vation personal to himself and, —entirely unprovoked and wholly uncalled for ;--so low, gross and ungentlemanly as, whilst it made him ashamed of being acquainted with any one capable of it, taught him studiously to avoid future communication." Perhaps Mr. Alderman Evans, indiscreet Friends will be satisfied with the explanation. Their idol was satisfied on the spot. CARNATION SHOW AT KIRKDALE On Thursday last an exhibition, in connection with the Everton and Kirkdale Floral and Horticultural Society, os tensibly for the show of carnations, but in reality for that of all the products of the conservatory and garden took place in the pleasure grounds behind Mr. New's hotel at Kirkdale. The Marquee under cover of which the exhibitions have hitherto taken place, had been greatly extended, so that the space for promenading was much greater, and the conveni ences, both for the elegant display of the flowers and plants, and the comfort of spectators considerably enhanced. The show was remarkably well attended, and the extreme fineness of the day brought together a full attendance of the fair and. fashionable. Mr. Skirving, with his usual liberality for warded a very great quantity of plants, &c. for the use of the the marquee, among which were some choice .;pecimens:of greenhouse plants, none of which were for com petition. The carnations were numerous, in full bloom, and in great variety. The fruits were particularly choice, the company hanging with longing looks over them and with smiling approbation at the size and quantity which were large. The vegetables were also very numerous ; and some committe of a most excellent kind with respect to general culinary purposes received the warm approbation of the judges. The fuschias, judiciously arranged at the right hand of the Marquee, were in particularly large numbers, and were much admired. We have no apace to give a special observation to any plant peculiarly worthy of notice. Mr. Stubbs' Royal Harrnonicon Band was in attendance and kept the company alive with a many of the most fashionable airs, &c. Great praise is due to the chairman of the meet ing and the committee for their attention to the company and for the judicious manner in which everything was con ducted ; all was ready for view by the public at the appointed time ; the polite attention of Mr. Wm. New—the landlord gave very general satisfatiou. PREMIER.
