ortrp. THE GERA.I4DINE'S DEATH SONG. BY MRS. STEWART, The thistle beard floats, the wild roses wave, With the blast that sweeps the newly made grave ; Stars dimly twinkle, hoarse falls the water ; Night birds arc wailing the Geraldine's daughter!

'Tis the swan of the lake, the Geraldine's daughter. Hush! hush ! Have you heard what the Banshee said? Oh list to the echo ! " She's dead—she's dead !" No shadow now dims the face of the water — Gone is the wraith of the Geraldine's daughter. The step of yon train is heavy and slow ; There's wringing of hands, there's breathing of woe : What melody rolls over mountain and water ? 'Tis the funeral chant for the Geraldine's daughter. The requiem sounds like the plaintive moan Which the wind makes over the sepulchre stone. " Oh, why did she die ?" our heart's blood had bought her " Oh, why did she die ?"—the Geraldine's daughter ? THE ANTI-SLAVERY CONVENTION. (From the Record) 'e cannot congratulate the friends of the abolition of slavery on the exhibition presented by the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Convention, which is now holding its daily sittings in Freemasons' Tavern. The very name of a convention, composed of delegates, is of ill-omened sound, and a very slight attention to their proceedings will be sufficient to convince every calm and sound thinking observer, that these are not the men nor the means by which slavery is to be abolished or any great object accomplished. Among those who take a prominent part in the convention, we in vain look for the names of Buxton, Inglis, Lushington, Acland, or the other distinguished labourers in this good cause. The delegates may indeed boast that Mr. Buxton deli vered some remarks on African civilization. They may may add, that their meeting was for a short period graced by the presence of the venerable Thomas Clark son, and at his very advanced age, and considering his unwearied devotion to the cause, it is not wonderful that he should be easily induced to countenance any great assembly, proposing an object so noble as the extinction of slavery throughout the world. 'After his retirement the chair was far more appropriately occu pied by Mr. Joseph Sturge, whose extreme political and latitudinarian principles were recently so strangely exhibited at Birmingham, in attending a chartist meet ing, and opposing the establishment of a defensive police. . _ _ But as there is but one fountain from which pure philanthropy can flow, so it is easy to perceive, that its counterfeit may he easily prostituted to the gratification of selfishness and vanity. Who does not blush for the honour of the sex, when we hear of women who have crossed the Atlantic as delegates to the convention, and eagerly assert their right to speak in a Freemason's Hall ? Who does not see that the consummate affec tation of pseudo-philanthropists, and the oratorical ambition of the American ladies are calculated to throw discredit on the cause in the United States, and to ren der the abolitionists the laughing-stock both of the old and new world ? It is true that the poor American ladies have been disappointed, as the majority of the convention were not disposed to concede to them the opportunity of making the display which they desired. Their emancipation from an observance of the decorum of their sex was not indeed rejected, but only post poned, probably because it was not desired to deal such "a heavy blow," and so "great a discouragement" to their enthusiasm for liberty in all its modes. But it was alleged that, as the right of speaking in public had not been conceded in America, we ought not too has tily to prejudge the question. It may indicate the feel ings of the motley group of Christians, Jews, Socini ans, and Infidels, who compose the convention, that the reasons assigned for the decision against the ora torical ladies, has respect not to the fitness of things— not to the deference due to the sex, and the manifest indecency of allowing them to become public dispu tants, still less to the direct authority of God's holy word—but solely to the usages of America ! There is one feature most distinctly stamped on the proceedings of the Convention, and it is one at which we feel no surprise, as it is always the concomitant of spurious philanthropy. We mean the fulsome adula tion which they heap upon each other. Even O'Con nell seems to have been somewhat disgusted with the want of taste exhibited by Dr. Bowring, and some others, and, in the midst of some confusion, objected to " unmerited compliments." M. Crimieux, presi dent of the Jewish Consistory in Paris (a French re publican, as we should imagine from his speech, who talked about " equality for Ireland," and bespattered O'Connell with flattery), actually dared to obtrude on the meeting his denial of the Messiah before this Con vention, and blasphemously asserted that Jesus Christ " derived the principles of Christian charity from the mild and pure rules of the (Jewish) sect of the Essenes." When this same inflated orator was giving vent to his absurd crudities in regard to O'Connell and Ireland, he was called to order by the Rev. Mr. Johnston; but that gentleman seems to have been hut roughly hand led by the delegates, and more especially by Dr. Bow ring, who, being at present " out of commission" and laid up " in ordinary," probably thinks it well to over look all professions of neutrality as to party politics, in a case where the great dispenser of Irish patronage is concerned. But although there were some isolated voices to protest against the utterance of party politics, there does not appear to have been one voice in the whole assembly to rebuke the unhappy man who dared to assert that Christ was only a human legislator and moralist, and consequently an impostor, and that he borrowed from a Jewish sect what gave to his impos tu-re " one of its most worthy titles to glory." What have such blasphemies to do with the abolition of slavery ? Is it for this that the Convention assem bled ? Is it for this that, without any recognition of Jehovah, they assemble to do a work of philanthropy ? Where were Mr. Burnett, of Camberwell, Mr. James, of Birmingham, Mr. Binney, or the rest of the Dis senting delegates, when they heard the Master whom they profess to serve thus insulted and blasphemed in their presence ? They were ready enough to give their sentiments on other questions which came before the meeting, and we are free to confess that we think Mr. Binney, efpecially, spoke with great good sense when he exposed the impropriety and unscriptural tendency of the violent resolution, which proposed that church ex communication should be the punishment of any indi vidual who was the owner of a slave in the United States or any other part of the world. The manner in which Mr. Knihb declared himself in favour of this resolution, as well as his whole bearing in the course of his speeches, did little credit to his discretion or good sense, and certainly places his employers the Baptist Missionary Society in a very awkward position, in con nexion with the opposition he has met with from the planters in Jamaica. We could notice much more in connexion with this Anti-Slavery Convention. But we confess we are dis gusted with the spectacle of a great and glorious cause so desecrated. It is surely a thing of ill omen when we witness the names of Wilberforce, Macaulay, Ste phen, and Buxton, replaced by those of jobbing pa triots, by dealers in Greek loans, by mendicant patriots, by violent republicans, and avowed assailants of the Christian religion. THE ODOUR ACCOMPANYING ELECTRI CITY Mr C. F S c h cen bein, professor of chemistry, Bal e , has had atten tionhis. long directed to the remarkable fact, that odo ur , resem bling that of phosphorus , is given off during the escapeo positive electricity from the point of a c o nd uc t or into air ,• and is likewise perceptible when lightning has struck any ob ject, and also when water is electrolyzed. He has therefore investigated the circumstances attending these phenomena' • and the results he has obtained will, he expects, afford a c l ue to the discovery of their cause. The odour which accom panies the electrolyzation of water, he observes, is only dis engaged at the positive electrode. He also finds that the odoriferous principle can be preserved in well-closed glass bottles for any length of time. The only metals which yield this odour are gold and platina ; but dilute sulphuric, phos phoric, and nitric acids, and aqueous solutions of several of the salts, also disengage it. Raising the temperature of the fluid to the boiling point prevents the odour from arising ; and the addition of comparatively small quantities of powder e d charcoal, iron, zinc, tin, lead, antimony, bismuth, or arsenic, or of a few drops of m ercury, t o the odorous principle con tained in a bottle, immediately destroys the smell; and the sam e happens when platina or gold, heated red hot, is intro duced into the vessel containing that volatile substance. — Athenantm. LONDON NEWSPAPERS.—A London newspaper is a vo lume—a volume of no trifling magnitude—and that volume the production of a single night." Such were the words of Lord Lyndhurst, when last year he presided at a public din ner, given in support of a fund for the relief of the widows and orphans of contributors to the periodical press. It was a pithy and correct description. A newspaper is indeed a volume—a volume which few men, singly, could write at all, and none, perhaps, in less than a twelvemonth, but of, which nearly the whole, by a systematic division of labour, is nightly written out, composed, corrected, revised, and printed off, between the hours of seven in the evening and five in the morning. The morning paper, then, is eminently•the work of the night ; and the hardest work about the office is gene rally going on when the great bulk of those for whose benefit the labour is performed are in the quiet and undisturbed en joyment of " Tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep,', About one or two o'clock in the afternoon the hous e k eeper at theoffice of a morning paper begins to sweep away th e litter of the preceding night, and to prepare the rooms . for the operations of that which is to come ; and at five or six o'clock, perhaps, the several editors drop in for an hour or so, to read their letters or to receive the favoured few who happen to have been honoured with an appointment, some thing in the same way that certain Cabinet Ministers con descend to look in a t th e i r o ffi ces a t a b ou t four o'clock in the afternoon, on their way " down to the House." The sub editor shortly afterwards begins to study the evening papers, from which he cuts away, with a pair of scissors, such para graphs and miscellaneous matter as it may be thought pru dent to keep in reserve, to supply the incessant cravings of the printer's boy for fresh " copy." The letters of occa sional correspondents are stored up with a similar view ; and the police reports and the various heterogeneous contribu tions of the penny-a-liners pass in suc cess i on un d er th e cri tical eye of the sub-editorial judge, upon whose tact and dis cretion the general character of the paper often depends a great deal more than upon the talents of the leading man of the establishment. The reporters who have b een a t ten di ng the courts of law in the morning begin to drop in. They are most of them employed later in the evening at the House of Commons, and are now writing out thei r notes, that they may be ready for the night's work. At eight or n i ne o ' clock, every department of the office has begun to wear a bustling business-like loek.—Monthly Chronicle NEWrOUNDLAND, Letters and papers from the colony halve been received to the 23d of May, The St. John's Public Ledger states that a most horrible outrage has again been perpetrated there upon an individual, whose only offence seems to have been that he was employed in the office of a Protestant newspaper, as overlooker of the workmen. These midnight legislators, it will be remembered, some years ago seized upon the pub lisher of this paper, Mr. Winton, dragged him into the woods, and mutilated his person in the most shocking man ner. On the night of the 13th February last, his overlooker, Mr. Lott, was seized in a bye-street at night, whilst return ing home from his labour, forcibly conveyed to the secret den of a party of conspirators, and interrogated, under cir cumstances of great intimidation, upon various matters con nected with his employer's business. He was blindfolded, the room to which he was taken was lined with white calico even to the ceiling, so as to prevent identity, and his exa examiners were two men disguised in black gowns. Their principal object appears to have been to ascertain the circulation of the paper, the amount of the contribution, and whether Mr. Winton carried fire-arms on his person, or kept them in his house. He was told that his master and others like him would, perhaps, find out that there was a Riband society in the colony, equally as terrible as ever it was in Ireland • that Mr. Winton w o u ld soon fi n d hi s h ouse too hot to hol d him ; and that, if he dared to divulge one word of what had transpired, an unseen and unknown hand should be in his way. His eyes were then again blindfolded; he was led forth, and having been conducted a'considerable distance by a circuitous route, was released, his guard ab sconding. He, however, deposed to all the facts before the magistrates. In consequence of the deposition of Mr. Lott as to his be lief, arising from various circumstances, that the house of one Delaney, situated about half a mile out of the town, was that to which he had been blindfolded and led, the house was examined, but there was no satisfactory evidence that the suspicions were correct. But Delaney is one of the door keepers of the House of Assembly ; and forthwith the As sembly affecting to be indignant that the dwelling-house of one of their servants should be searched, even by the officers of the peace, under a warrant, appointed a committee of in quiry, and at the same time several of the members of the Assembly, in their places in the house, used the strongest terms of vituperation and abuse respecting the young man, whose story they pretented to disbelieve. The magistrates who had taken their depositions also fell under their censure, and the house reduced their salaries £lOO a year each, which sum was, however, subsequently restored through the apprehension of damaging themselves with the Home Government. On the 15th of May, Lott, who had been to Carbonear on the business of his employer, was returning to St. John's, via Harbour Grace, when, in precisely the same place where Mr. Winton was mutilated, he was seized by four men, dis guised. and also had his ears cut from his head, and was otherwise most brutally treated. We take an extract from his deposition : He states that he met two women on the road, near a small house on the left hand side of the road on the top of Saddle-hill, going towards Carlinear, and in about ten minutes afterwards, when near the large house in the valley, which deponent has since heard belongs to David Connors, two men, disguised with black crape over their faces, ran out of a thicket of wood on the right hand side of the road, and immediately afterwards two more men disguised in a similar way ran out of the woods on the same side of the road, when one of the two last men said, " Long looked for is come at last." Deponent, seeing that the said four men were intent to molest and assault him, drew a sword from a walking-stick which he had with him, and endeavoured to force a passage through them towards Harbour Grace, and, raising the sword, he desired them to keep off, and not to touch him. Two of them then advanced towards deponent, when depo nent struck one of them a blow across his face with the sword, which cut the said person and caused blood to flow from his face. The man so cut cried out, "Blood, blood, you b— !" when another of the said four men struck depo nent a violent blow with his fist, which knocked deponent down, and he was laid hold of by the said four men and dragged some distance into the woods on the opposite side of the road. Deponent endeavoured to call out for assist ance, when they stuffed his ears and mouth full of earth or dirt, and one of the said persons kept his hand on depo nent's mouth to prevent him speaking. They then took a large stone and beat deponent with it about his head until he became quite insensible of what they were doing. Deponent must have remained in this state for a consider able time, when, on the return of his senses, he found him self alone, his hands and face covered with blood, and soon discovered that both his ears had been cut off, and were bleeding profusely. Deponent then mustered all the strength he could, and got into the road, endeavouring to proceed to Harbour Grace, but from weakness and loss of blood soon fell down. While lying on the road he was overtaken by a man who had on a short jacket, to whom deponent called as well as he was able, and begged him to afford deponent as sistance. He at first manifested some reluctance, but at length came and raised deponent up, and led him a few yards towards Harbour Grace, and then left him, and went down a road by the side of a fence, on the south side of Carbonear road, nearly opposite the house said to belong to Connors. Deponent at the moment the said man left him met another person going towards Carbonear, who had on a brown body coat. None of the said four men had either hats or caps on. The man whom deponent struck with the sword had an old body coat very much worn, and deponent is certain the blow he so gave him has left a mark on his face, and deponent thinks it is on the right side. This deponent further saith, that upon leaving Carbonear this day, he had in his trousers pocket seven dollars, and in his waistcoat pockets six dollars ; before reaching the Court-house at Harbour Grace, de ponent discovered that the seven dollars in his trousers pockets were missing, and deponent verily believes that the four men aforesaid robbed him of the said seven dollars. The Public Ledger, in noticing these monstrous outrages, says, " His excellency the governor, we observe, has issued a proclamation, offering a reward of £3OO for the apprehen sion of the perpetrators ; but we are mistaken if by far the better plan would not have been immediately to send round a sufficient force to scour the country for miles around the scene of this transaction, leaving not one rood of ground un trodden, nor any house unsearched, to which the slightest suspicion could possibly be attached ; for it will be remem bered, that although the sum of £l5OO was offered for the discovery of the parties guilty of waylaying in the same spot, and mutilating, Mr. Winton in the same manner just five years ago, nothing whatever has hitherto transpired to lead to their conviction !" St. John's was in an alarming state of excitement owing to the election, which was going on, of a member of the House of Assembly, to serve for the district of St. John's, in the room of Mr. Patrick Morris, promoted to the Legislative Council. There were two candidates in the field, Mr. Doug las and Mr: O'Brien, and although the more respectable por tion of the public were really indifferent as to the result, yet the struggle had created some interest, from the unexpected coming out of the Romish bishops and the priests supporting the.cause of Mr. O'Brien, who is a Roman Catholic, against .that of Mr. Douglas, who is not one ; th e more en li g ht ene d of the Roman Catholics taking part with Douglas, and therefore opposing the priests, whose influence over them in their secular matters they appear to be determined to put an end to. But few of the protestants have mixed them selves up in the affair. By the latest accounts of the state of the poll Mr. Douglas was six in advance. The conduct of the priests on this occasion has been most disgraceful. They appear to have had no other nor better object than that of sustaining their influence over the minds of the people upon matters with which it was unnecessary for them to meddle. They made their appearance, both upon and in the neigh bourhood of the hustings, with whips in their hands, flogging the refractory into terms of subjection ; and they appear not only to have banded men together for the purpose of sys tematic aggression, but to have incited to bloodshed, if not to murder itself ! Indeed, the matter had become so serious, that it was difficult to say what would be the result. Deposi tions were taken at the police-office —one from the poll-clerk himself—all tending to show that there could not by possibi lity be anything like freedom in the election, and it was ex pected that military protection would be granted. PARLIAMENTARY REGISTRATION. CONSERVATIVES ! REMEMBER THE TWENTIETH OF JULY !! Lord John Russell's tampering with the reform act can have no effect on the approaching registration. The old sys tem will therefore be pursued. Let conservatives bear in mind that, if we have no election before the 20th of July, there will be one immediately afterwards ; and should the whigs dissolve the parliament prior to that date, it is not improbable that Sir Robert Peel may find it necessary to follow their example before the registration of 1841. Atten tion, therefore, to these requirements is absolutely necessary to that brilliant success which is awaiting the friends of the protestant constitution. The qualification is the occupation of a house, warehouse, counting house, shop, or other building within the borough, of the clear annual value of ten pounds, twelve months pre vious to the 31st of July. The occupant must reside within seven miles of the bo rough. The rates and taxes due must be paid previous to the 20th of July, and the occupant must be rated in his own name. Joint occupiers are also entitled to be registered, under the same stipulations, provided also that the share of each oc cupant be of the clear yearly value of ten pounds. COUNTY VOTERS. Voters who were on the list last year are not required to make a fresh claim, if they possess the same qualification, and reside in the same place, as they did when the last regis try was made; but if they have changed their place of resi dence, or any change has taken place in the nature of the qualification, it will be necessary for them to send in fresh claims, and to pay the registration fee in the same manner as though they had never been registered. Blank forms of claims may be had on application to the overseers. The following is a brief abstract of the qualification for county voters : Property qualifying County Voters, if they possess a suffi ,iyeleanbatlsel leasehold, or ANNUITIES —whe n ucniNG reeholpdca lan B copyhold.

The prevailing notion, that six months' possession is necessary, is altogether erroneous. For freehold land and buildings, the requisite clear annual value is forty shillings, with six months' possession previous to the 31st of July. For freehold land and buildings for life or lives, as a cor poration lease for lives and years, the requisite clear annual value is ten pounds, with six months' possession, except when the property is in the actual possession of the owner, (1)1 s h re i acquiredwassb u y ffi m ci a en rr t. iage settlement, devise, &c., or of which seized on the ith June, 1832, in which case forty A house, warehouse, counting-house, or shop, within the borough, an , d w o i t: h tei s l ix po , unds annual value, will not give a county vote to the owner, it in his own occupation.

Conservatives ! remember the twentieth of July, and the calls of your country, religion, and laws ! ! SKETCHER OF T i nrglpooL MO ITS VICINITY 'No. (Written for the Liverpool Standard.) RUNCORN AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD CONTINUED.--HAL TON, HALTON CASTLE, &C. Halton Castle is the most conspicuous object in the envi rons of Runcorn, and lies to the eastward of it, about a mile and a half distant. The few ruins that remain of this once stately edifice are situated on the top of a conically shaped hill, round which, at about half its height, and at the base or spring of the steeper part of the hill, the village of Halton forms a circle or belt, chiefly of detached houses, farm-steads and cottages. From the extensive views which are obtained from the site of the castle, it is the frequent resort, during the summer months, of visitors not only from Runcorn, but from Warrington, Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, and other towns in its neighbourhood. There are several roads from Runcorn to Halton, but the most direct is by the lane running from the outskirts of the town, for some distance close to the Duke of Bridgewater's canal, leaving the windmill (which is remarkable for two white and two brown sails) on the right. The visitor will thence see the castle before him, and may proceed by the same road to Halton village ; but about three quarters of a mile further on, near a brook, the pedestrian may strike into a pleasant and more direct footpath on the right hand. The Castle-hill is accessible on every side by the several roads to Halton from Preston Brook, Warrington, Runcorn, Frod sham, and Chester, via Rock Savage, &c, The hill slopes all round up to the village in an easy acclivity, affording pleas ing views from every point, after which it rises more abruptly, and in some parts precipitously. Orchards and gardens in the village, and steep grassy banks, and trees even to the top of the hill above it, give it an appearance of verdure and warmth seldom found on isolated hills of such height in this country. In this and in other respects Halton Castle greatly resembles its more northern neighbour, Hoghton Tower, once also a place of strength and importance, and presenting, too, an enviable site for the modernized mansion of some " good old English gentleman," or distinguished family, de voted to the enjoyment of refined pleasures, and the hospita lities of the " olden times." HALTON. The village was once a market town, and was called Haw-ton (signifying in old English the " town on the hill"), but now Normanised to Halton. The barony of Halton was given by Hugh Lupus, nephew of William the Conqueror, and second Earl of Chester, to Nigel, on condition that he should, ac cording to one account, be constable of Chester. Another account states that he received the barony, in conjunction with the constableship of Cheshire, on condition that he should lead the earl's army in the wars in Wales. Nigel had two sons, one of whom (William) founded the priory at Run corn in 1133. There is nothing peculiarly remarkable in the village itself. It contains good houses, some of them of re cent erection, and neat cottages, with thriving gardens. It is exceedingly clean, and, from its elevated position, airy and cheerful. The population of the township may he about 2000. Although there is on parts of the hill a considerable depth of good soil, the freestone is in others close on the surface, and I was shewn a house, on the west side, the kitchen, some back apartments, and the cellars in which are dug out of the solid rock, and are perfectly dry. There are several inns, including the Castle Inn, the Norton Arms, and the Elephant and Castle. After passing through a portion of the village, the visitor, by a road or avenue about 300 yards in length, and of great width, leading to the left, ascends to Halton Castle. There are several good houses, particularly on the west side of the avenue, with gardens, shrubberies, and forest trees of considerable growth. The finest is the parsonage, a good two story building in the Grecian style with a porch, and surmounted by a small pediment containing a coat of arms in the tympanum. Beside it is a small antique isolated stone building within a space enclosed by a parapet wall, and having two arched win dowsto the road. This is a Public Library, founded in 1733, and furnished with books, chiefly folios, by the late Sir John Chesshyre, of Hallwood. Admission may be obtained by strangers on application to the Rev. R. Tweddell, A.M., at the parsonage, it being placed under the care of the minister of the chapel for the time being. Over the door is the fol lowing Latin inscription : "Hang BIBLIOTHECAM pro communi LITERATORUM HSU, sub cura curati Capellae de HALTON, Proventibus ter feliciter Augmentatee JOH ANNIS CHESSIIYHE miles Serviens D'ni Regis at Legem. D. D. D. Anno mDCCXXIII." The visitor may here pass a very agreeable hour amongst the tomes both in English and in the languages of the ancient classics bequeathed for the use of posterity, by the benevo lent knight of Hallwood. Behind the library there is a row of Alms Houses, "for six poor, decayed, and honest old servants," who are ap pointed by Sir Richard Brooke, of Norton Priory. These have trees and gardens in front. A little further westward, and immediately behind the Vicarage, stands the chapel of Halton, in a small enclosed green field or yard, bounded on the west by a precipitous portion of the hill. It is an old plain stone building with two long windows at the west end and a small belfry. This is a Chapel of Ease to Runcorn, but has a separate endowment granted by the late Sir John Chesshyre, who held the pre sentation. From the church-yard a charming and extensive view is obtained of the country below. On the south, Frod sham, surrounded by fine enclosed fields fringed by trees, and backed by the dark wooded Helsby and Overton hills, while the Weaver winds its way through the rich low grounds in front, is here seen to very great advantage. The Mersey speckled with vessels, and the Lancashire shore equally fill up the view in front and to the right. There is also a gram mar school close by for the children of the parish of Run corn. Returning to the road, and passing the parsonage, the visitor in ascending passes the Elephant and Castle, a small but neat inn on the left with a garden behind ; and several ancient office buildings amongst the trees on the right. A short walk of about 100 yards brings him to the Castle Inn, in front of which the avenue widens out into a sort of lawn, sloping to the east. This was in former times included within the pleasure grounds of the Castle, and was laid out in ser pentine walks. Below the parsonage, too, in the palmy days of Halton, there stood a cross, which the hand of innovation has long since removed. HALTON CASTLE. The Castle Inn, through which alone the visitor can ar rive at the ruins of the ancient edifice, is itself known by the appellation of Halton Castle, and is situated close to the principal portion of the ruins, facing the avenue leading from the village, and on the south side of the table land or somewhat circular area on the top of the hill, formerly occupied by the fortress. It is a comparatively modern and plain building, of two stories, with square projecting wings, in which are some of the principal rooms. The landlord is Mr. Bolton, an intelligent man of 68 years of age. The worthy hostess (who is highly spoken of as a most charitable person) is an old lady of 78. She has lived here in the same capacity for 44 years, and still moves about attending to the domestic ar rangements of the house with the activity of a young women of twenty. As the inn stands on the site of a portion of the castle, and a baronial court and court leet are still held within its walls, it may be proper, before noticing it further, to fur nish some historical reminiscenes of the original edifice itself. The precise date of the foundation of Halton Castle is not known, all existing records on this point being defective ; but it is supposed to have been erected soon after the Con quest. Although it was a strong military post, but little of historical event connected with it has been handed down to posterity. Tradition states that it was, at a very early pe-' riod, much infested by gangs of robbers, who here secured themselves after their marauding excursions in the plains be low. It is stated, indeed, that in the reign of Edward 11. these freebooters became so bold as to steal the armour and accoutrements from the Castle itself. It was a favourite place of recreation (we also learn from Fowler's Historical Account of Runcorn, &c.) with the celebrated John of Gaunt, who therein showed his good taste. In the reign of Elizabeth it was converted into a prison for popish recusants. Here, in 1536, the abbot of Norton priory, and three of the canons, were immured by Sir Piers Dutton, sheriff of Cheshire, for opposing the king's commissioners. During the civil wars it fell occasionally into the hands of both par ties, and in 1644 the parliament forces held possession. It subsequently became a prison for debtors, and eventually fell into its present ruinous condition. A survey was made of it in the time of Cromwell, at which time it had falleninto dilapidation. It was then described as consisting of " a gate house, with five rooms over; a great hall, with two ranges of buildings over it containing nine rooms, and a prison for the Honour of Halton. At this time Colonel Henry Brooke was the steward." It is now, and has for years been (like the castles in Wales) the property of the Crown, but is held, by royal tenure, by the Marquis of Cholmondeley, a homely gentlemen, who domiciled here for two days, about three years ago, with the marchioness. The landlord of the inn has an old print of the castle, as seen from the ground in front some hundred and odd years ago. It represents little more than the entrance-gate, and two adjoining and loftier buildings, of angular form, in a state of ruin,—the whole being i what is termed the gate house, on the site of which the nn is built. There was a portcullis, and a drawbridge over the fosse, which last pro bably at one time encircled the whole castle. At the bottom of this print, on one side, is engraved :—" De dicated to the most noble, John, Duke of Rutland, Marquis of Ganby, &c. &c. &c., this prospect is hum bly incribed, by S. and W. Buck." On the other side is the following historical notice :—" This Castle was built by Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester, who gave it, wth ye Barony, to Nigel, a Norman, on condition that he would be Constable of Chester. From his posterity it came to ye Crown, and is a considerable Member of ye Duchy of Lan caster, which maintains a large Jurisdiction in ye Country round it, by ye name of Halton Fee, the Hr of Halton having a Court of Record, Prison, and many other privileges within themselves." There was here also some years ago an inte resting print of the whole village and castle, taken from an original painting in 1656, but it is now lost. Here there are still held four Courts a year, namely, three Courts Baron, in April, September, and December, and one Court Leet, held in October. I need scarcely add, that, in a spot so comparatively secluded the prison is no longer used ; but that ancient instrument of terror to evil doers in remote villages—the stocks, is still extant, opposite to the Public Library before noticed. The present Court Room (in the inn) is about thirty feet in length, and has an outside stone stair entrance, with railings, from the front of the house. Over the chimney-piece is the following inscription, on an antiquely carved stone, resembling a mural monu ment : " 7th Dec., 1737.—At a Court of Revenue held for the Duchy of Lancaster, before the Rt. Honble George Earl of Cholmondeley, Chancellor of ye same Court, it was ordered by them that 500 lb. be forthwith raised and paid for the re building this Court House, Gaol, and Court Yard. " Commissioners to survey the same.—J. S. Cotton, J. Lee, N. Legh, R. Leicester, P. Davenport, and W. Tongue, Esqrs. " The Honble. James Cholmondeley, Lord of the Manor. "J. Pickering, Esq., Steward; Wm. Middleton, Deputy." On the chimney-piece below is added : " H. Sefton, J. Orme, Undertakers.-10th Nov., 1738, finished." There are several good rooms at the inn, and I here found a number of respectable tradesmen from Manchester, who had come to spend a few days at the Castle, in place of ex posing themselves to the allurements of expense at the races on Kersal Moor.

Further eastward is a fine wooded country, through which (though not visible from this point) pssses the Grand Junction Railway, and the Staffordshire canal. In the back ground rise the remoter hills of Chesh ire, Alderley Edge being conspicuous, and farther on, but apparently blended with them, the loftier mountains of Derbyshire. North eastward stands Norton Priory, the seat of Sir R. Brooks, PRIESTS ON THE LOOK-OUT FOR CONVERTS.--A respc act able correspondent in this neighbourhood has declared his readiness to restore a girl of the Protestant faith to her eN Te sight if her whole family go to mass.

SUNDAY DINNERS.—We have been strong, but, we hope,. consistent advocates for preserving the sanctity of the Sab bath-day ; and while enforcing th• necessity of public-houses. being closed, and Sabbath trading discouraged, have always. pointedly condemned the pernicious practice which prevails,. in what is termed high life, of giving " Sunday dinners." Each of the great political par ties in the State are equally chargeable with this wanton and unnecessary desecration of a day which was hallowed at the creation of the world by the Deity himself. The mechanic or tradesman, who passes six days in the week in incessant toil, may urge with a show of plausibility that to him the Sabbath should be reserved for recreation and enjoyment ; but what excuse can possibly avail the leaders of fashion or Ministers of State, for picking out the seventh day whereon to give their sumptuous banquets, and feast their friends and retainers ? Do they once consider the evil effects of this practice, or reflect how ma ny thousands will justify a habitual disregard of the holine: s of this day by their example ? If they have lost all feeling in this mat ter themselves, let them at least respect the s entiments of the nation, and listen to the dictates of policy or shame.— Britannia. Bart, with an ostensive park, finely wooded, The mansion is a spacious modern building, with pediment rising over the projecting centre, and two wings on each side to correspond; the whole of white stone, and enlivened by numerous windows ; it commands extensive views of the Mersey, Halton, &c. The priory of Norton ' on the site of which it stands, was a place of great antiquity. It was suppressed by Henry VIII., in whose reign the manor was purchased by an ancestor of the present baronet. There is here, too, an ancient Hall, which was beseiged by the Royalists in 1643 ; and it is said that a portion of the original monastic building, in which there is a door of Saxon architecture, forms part of the cellars of the present edifice. The Duke of Bridgewater's canal winds through part of the grounds, and a good view of the Priory may thence be ob tained in passing it. On the rising grounds east from it there are several handsome seats, including High Cliffe. Casting the eye northward, the valley of the Mersey ex tends far into the interior, and its nearer waters are visible, winding like a streak of silver through the lower meadows. Warrington, with the smoke hanging over it, is distantly visible. More to the north, the Lancashire shore, thickly wooded, expands to view, the conspicuous objects in the dis tance being the tall chimney at Newton,.the works of St. Helens, Farnworth, &c. _ _ At the north-east corner of the green, the principal ruins of Halton Castle commence, and sweep round the hill until they close upon the inn at the south west. A portion of the village sweeps round the base of the hill at this corner, and from immediately below may be heard the busy hammers of a wheelwright and a blacksmith. The hill itself is covered with grass and gardens to the top. Thence two portions of the Duke's canal, and, near to the river, the Mersey and Irwell Navigation Canal may be seen gleaming at intervals amongst rows of trees. The ruins are here, and also west ward, much broken, and afford numerous peep-holes from which the Mersey, and the prospect beyond it in both the -contiguous counties that border it, may be seen. There are ivy -lined arbours here and there, and on the north-west side of the green a considerable space is occupied by a shrubbery, chiefly of lilac, with winding walks, and a garden. At this side, facing Runcorn, are the loftiest and finest remains of the old castle, in the examination of which the antiquarian may, in the absence of historical record, find food for specula tion. Through a large broken-topped window, Runcorn, its immediate vicinity, and miles beyond it, to the north west, form the vista. In the same angle or projection, but further on, there is a larger Gothic pointed window, 12 or 13 feet in height, with the mullions nearly all gone, whence is seen Weston Point, Frodsham, the Helsby Hills, the Mersey, and the Welsh mountains. There are also smaller windows or apertures in the masonry, some of them resembling port-holes or loop holes for fire-arms. This portion of the building ilsupposed by some, from the ecclesiastical appearance of the windows, to have been a part of the chapel. The highest peaks of the ruins may be not more than from 40 to 45 feet; yet, from their altitude on the hill, they are distinctly seen many miles round. Amongst the irregular angular ruins at the north west corner, are two square doors. From one of these a view may be obtained, through the thick wall, of the country opening out between Runcorn and Weston Point. One re cess in the walls appears to have been a portion of a staircase, and another a private closet. Further on the visitor may emerge from the ruins by a hole or archway, hewn out by the inexorable chisel of time, and take his stand on a grassy spot, on the same level, bounded by a steep wall, from which the little chapel of Halton is seen close on the west, and an ex tended prospect -to the northward and westward. The re maining ruins run up to the inn, and are of less interesting character. The afternoon had now far advanced, and as I purposed to return to Liverpool that night, I reluctantly quitted Halton, and retraced my steps to Runcorn. The evening was beau tiful, mild, and sunny. As there was no steam-boat, or other direct conveyance, until the following day, I hastened to the place of embarkation at the " Gap.' The tide being down, the water was shallow, and reduced to two streams with a sand-bank intervening. In a few minutes a boat came to the side, in which I embarked with several others. We landed on the bank, and re-embarking in another boat, were wafted across the second stream, and sez down in Lancashire, for the small charge of two pence. The town and the coun try around looked truly lovely, as the sun began to throw his declining ruddy rays upon every prominent object, and to gild the now still waters of the Mersey. Turning a romantic rocky point of land a little to the west of the landing place, I took my way by footwalks and green lanes, as I best could, through Ditton marsh, and thence to Tarbuck and through Wavertree to Liverpool, which, from not knowing the nearest road, I did not reach until a late hour, pleased with my ex cursion, and with no other reg r et than that the daylight did not last to the end of my journey through a country which presents many features of interest.

There has been more animation in our Butter market, and prices are steady at last quotations. Pickled Butter offering at 90s to 91s, being 3s to 4s of a reduction in price. Beef very scarce, and the price expected to be still higher : as much as .t 7 has been asked for a favourite brand of prime Mess. Pork is dull. Bacon goes off with much freedom at 53s to 548 for the best article. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 22. There was to-day a small supply of Beasts at market; prime Beef m demand at 7d to 70, second quality 62d, inferior 6d to 60. The supply of Sheep and Lambs was smaller than last week; prime Wethers in demand at an advance on our last quotations. say 7d to ad, second quality 6fd, inferior 6d. Good Lambs were in demand at fully our last quotations, 7d, inferior 7d. LIVERPOOL CORN MARK'', ittlxit 20, Since this day Se'Might the Imports of British Grain hare been light; but those of foreign produce comprise upwards of 11,500 qrs. of Wheat and 20,400 brls. of Flour. From the 10th to the 17th instant inclusive, duties have been paid upon 14,160 qrs. of Wheat and 14,496 brls. of Flour; and, on the following day, (in anticipa- tion of the rise of 2s per quarter, which subsequently took place iu the rate of impost,) several holders of both articles released their stock out of bond. Since Tuesday last, when prices of Wheat, generally, were quoted 2d to 3d per bushel higher, the trade has been firm, and, at yesterday's market, a further advance of 2d per bushel was demanded : this, however, being reluctantly complied with by the millers and dealers, only a limited business could be effected. The best brands of American Flour, duty paid, were held at 36s to 36s 6d per barrel, but moved only in retail. Previous to the advance of duty above noted, about 9,000 brls. have changed hands, in bond, at 24s 6d to 25s 6d per brl. Oats and Oatmeal have been both in limited request, and any change in their value is in favour of the buyer. Grinding Barley, upon a moderate demand, has sold on rather better terms. Beans are rather cheaper. No change as regards Peas. imports. SOUTH AMERICA. Jane, (116) A Davidson, from Tampico, 110 tons fustic, G Boggs —P 1) UNITED STATES.
