This intention is now being carried out, and last week the Finance Committee purchased a field from Mr. John Shaw Leigh, adjoining the park, SO that the whole range of the park from Wavertree-road to Edge-lane, where it meets the Botanic Gardens, will henceforth be thrown open to the public. It is also in tended to have another entrance into the Botanic Gardens from the Wavertree-road entrance to the park, which will save visitors the circuitous route to the main entrance in Edge lane. PIII2 IX A Goons TRAIL—On Monday last week, while a goods train was going from Liverpool to Wigan on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, 'and was leaving the Tontine tunnel, three lorries of cotton were discovered to be on fire. The other Mr ....Ps of ti ath were irameaiately unhooked, and the eino proceeded with file burning mass at full speed to Wigan.

The engraving of the note %very good, and would deceive the most experienced judges, especially the Britannia in the corner ; but the water-mark is badly exernted, and appears to have been impressed after the paper was made, and the note has not that crispness of feel and whiteness of colour so peculiar to Bank of England notes. The three edges of the 'notes are cut, the other appears to have been torn, and different to the usual fray-edges of the genuine Bank of England £5 notes. BREACH oP Tut FACTORY ACT.—At I the Town Hall, Little Bolton, on Monday, Mr. Noah Baker, cotton spinner, of Kersley, was summoned by Mr. Jones, the factory inspector, for employing in his 'mill, on the 20th of July, two 'children who had not bath registered. He was fined 40s. 'and costs in one case, and the other was withdrawn on the payment of expenses by Mr. Baker. On the same day two labouring men, from Horwich, named Edward Fartworth and William Whittle, were charged by Mr. Jones with having altered•the dates of the certifi cates of their children's birth, nth the view of getting them einPloyed full time in one of the cotton mills at Horwich.

Tiro ;BANKS AND THE NENV STAMP ACT.—In con sequelite of the passing of the new Stamp Act, whi& will • cOme into operation On the 10th of October, the various banking establishments have agreed to a modifi cation of the system under atvhich they have of late years issued letters of credit.

By thisineans, as regards the notes :payable on demand, the vigorous banks will save themselves from risk with respect to forged endorsements, Inasmuch as the 19th clause of the new act exonerates them in these special cases from all liability on that account. — Times. HEALTH OF THE TOWN.—The medical-officer reports that, for the week tiding Saturday, the 20th instant, .the deaths in Liverpool fell to 192 from 210 in the previous week ; the average - of the same week of the five preceding years having been 243, without the cholera deaths of 1849. 60 deaths were ascribed to zymotic diseases,anearly one third of the entire mortality, but of these 43 were caused by summer diarrhoea, &c., which usually attains its maxi mum at this peridd, and of the 43 who died - 40 were in fants. Only twe fatal cases of typhus were registered, being the lowest mortality recorded from this disease previous to the last two months. There was no fatal case of measles nor of smallpox. There were 4of scarlatina, 6 of hopping -cough, and 1 of mumps. From •consumption there were 32 deaths, andifrom other diseases of the lungs 21. T . RE " LIVER TRUE BLUE LODGE," in eon neFoli with the Loyal Orange Institution of Great Britain and Ireland, was opened at the" Queen's Arms, Great Hom er - s t reet, on Wednesday. On:Alie conclusion of the business•of the lodge, the brethren sat down to a most excellent supper. The chair was occupied by the RW.D. G. Mr. William Clark, and - the vice-chair by the W. D. M. Mr. John Little. After - the usual loyal toasts, the thafrman proposed "The Grand Master, the Earl of Enniskillen." Mr. Cl ar k' s h ea lth . was next given as deputy grar_d master. Several other toasts followed, including the healths of the district master, Mr. John Little ; the - grand secretary, Mr. Nicholson Bradley ; the master of - the lodge, Mr. James Graham:; the Protestant press of Liverpool ; the host and hostess, &c. The even ing was spent in the most convivial. •raanner, and the brethren separated much gratified. THE LT`TERPOOL CATTLE TRADE.-4t appears that the number , of cattle, sheep, lambs, and pigs brought here from the Ist:of January to the 16th August of the present year , was 257,000 head, to which may be added 3354 horses. Supposing the import to „proceed in the same ratio, the total importation of the.mr would not be less than 400p00 head, or nearly 8000 animals per week. The numbers ,of each kind of animal. imported, to the 16th August, was as follows :—Cattle, 49,905 ; sheep, 113,149 ; Pigs, 57,705 ; lambs, 25,701; calves, 674; horses, 3354. Much the largest portion of the cattle, sheep, lambs, - pigs, and horses brought into Liverpool are Irish ; this year 214,490 out of 260,783. The rest are brought coastwise from Scotland, Wales; 'Cumberland, or the Isle of Man. . Foreign cattle, of which the Londoners receive so many, are scarcely known in Lancashire, the sea voyage from Holland and Holstein 'being too long. From some cause—either the disease amongst cattle and sheep, or greater consumption of butcher meat in the districts from which this town draws its.vrapplies—the import of cattle -las not been so great this year as last. This year it amounts to 260,783 in rather less than eight months, whilst last year it amounted to 288,815 in the same time. EMbEZZLEMENT. —A very respectably-attired young man, named JohwLacourt, a collecting clerk in the em ploy of Messrs. Bowman, Grinnell, and Co., was on Tues day charged with .-embezzling £220 belonging to his employers. It appeared the prisoner had been in the employ of the above, ,firm for the last twelve months, and it was his duty to alert freights from merchants for the carriage of goods consigned to his employers ; and on the 30th of July last, whilst acting in that capacity, he .received from Messrs. Newmanlivid Engle the sum of £133, Os. 2d., which he had not entered in his collecting-boa, nor accounted for to the , oalaier. He had also rreived £B7. 18s. 10d. from Messrs. Melly, Romilly, and Co., which sum, although ;entered in his book, he had not accounted for to the tcashier. Mr. Bowman's suspicions having been aroused, he on Monday sent for Inspector Rehoe, and after making that vigilant officer acquainted with the circumstances of-the case, called the prisoner into a private office, and questioned:him respecting the receipt and the non-entry in his'book of the above sums. Hie confessed that he had 'received the money, and said thmt he had been unfortunate with some bets at the last Liver pool races, and that he did mot wish his employers to know he had received it until he was able to refund it. The -officer then took him into ,custody, and on searching him found £25 on his person, which he said was a portion of the money he had received. The payments to the prisoner having been clearly proved, he was committed for trial at the sessions. Docur COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting chair. The Chairman was held on Thursday, Mr. Chas.

On Friday night, about eleven o'clock, Mr. Burnett was passing up Vernon-street, when the prisoners sprang upon him, and threw him down, and Crook was about to'strike him on the head with a stone he held in his hand, when Mr. Larkin, who had Witnessed the assault, ran to Mr. 13urriett's assistance. He asked what they were doing to the man, but the only reply he received was the stone which Crook held in his hand. It struck him on the forehead,ransing blood to flow copiously, and almost stunning him f or a f ew seconds. He, however, recovered himself, and seized'CroOk by the tott:l4, which came away in the struggle. Ile took fresh hold by his collar ; and, although the other prisoner kicked him about the body, and struck him in the fare, he maintained his hold until police-officer-£45 ;nude his appb'arance and took both men into custody. Several large stones were found in the torn-away.pocket. When called 'upon for his defence, Crook said, " I was going up Vernon street, about eleven o'clock.

In the Lancaster asylum there were 31 lunatics • • chargeable to the union, namely, 15 males and 16 females; and in the Rainhill -establishment 68, of whom 24 were males and 44 females. They were all kept in a satisfaetory state, and, so far-as could be judged, properly ,confined. In consequence of two lunatic paupers bearing the-same name, a mistake had arisen, and one of them had been improperly charged to the West Derby Union, instead of to the parish of Liverpool. Instructions were given with reference to the money - being refunded. — A letter was read from the poor-law board. It acknow ledged the letter of the 11th instant, endlosing an extract from the minutes of the guardians, in which they re quested the poor-law board to reconsider the proposal that the medical officer of the hospital ,should reside at the establishment. The board regretted to be unable to , accede to the wishes of the guardians, as there were serious obstacles to the proposal, which.the board had requested the poor-law inspector of the district to explain to them when he had a conference with the guardians on the subject, Ivlaiela he would do at the earliest possible period. Mr. Wensley proposed that Mr. Lister should have a copy of the letter, but after some discussion it was put and lost. A letter was read from Mr, Clayton, architect, explaining why acme delay had occurred in the completion of the hospital, the reason being that some £f the work men had not executed their work in a propenmanner, and it would have to be redone. The clerk was directed to communicate witleMr. Clayton on the subject. This being the whole of the business, the board adjourned. A BRUTAL FATIIIM—At the Manchester Police-court, on Thursday, John Egan, a shoemaker, was Charged with starving two of his children, and with having-,violently assaulted a third. Ahead ten o'clock on Wednesday night, two police inspectors visited a house in Dyke-Street, off Angel-street, where the .prisoner resided, and on 'breaking open the door and going into the garret, found two chil dren, aged three and fee years respectively, who had been locked up in the house ail day without food by their fa ther, the prisoner. There was no fire nor light in the house, no furniture nor hed for the children to lie sown upon, and they presented the most miserable and wretched appearance. The pollee •toak the children to the work house, and afterwards apprehended the prisoner roiling about drunk in the street. The officer further charged the prisoner with having brutally assaulted his eldest r ehild, a boy about 12 years.of age, on Monday. The boy presented the most lamentable eppearance, looking ems eiated, and reduced almost to a slaileton from starvation. lea had a couple of black eyes, one .of which was entirely closed in consequence of a kick he:had received from the prisoner, his father. He stated 'that on Monday his father came home nearly intoxicated ; and called him in from •-the street where he was playing. After he entered the house, his father fastened the door, and commenced to beat him most unmercifully, making him black and blue all over, and causing him the injuries which were visible .on his face. A woman who lived next door spoke to the general brutality of ids condnct to his wife and children, and his wife said that he was frequently so violent that she had to run out of the house when she saw him tolling home. He often went out and left her and her children without a morsel of food to eat. The prisoner said if he worked a whole week he could earn from £1 to 235. Mr. Maude sentenced him to hard labour for six calendar months ; in the meantime his wife and children would be taken to the workhouse. THE EXECITTIOR OF RICHARD PEDDRR, RS we learn from a third edition of the Preston Pilot, took place on Saturday, at Laneaster. The unhappy man was :convicted at the assizes recently held in Lancaster, of the murder of his wife, and the crime and its consequences were marked by circumstances of great atrocity. The murder was coin witted at Hambleton, on the 18th of April last, and from the evidence adduced on the trial, it appeared that Pedder had lived a very abandoned life, and, from his quarrelsome habits, had become a terror to the neighbourhood in which he lived; and he and his wife bed had repeated and violent quarrels. On the day on which he perpetrated the foul deed, he had been drinking deeply, and about six in the d so , m an e d of pe t d h d em er evening he went to a public house, and told the company there, that he had " shot his Bet," which turned out only who o tre was taken into euetody. On the way to the station the went as ththesee, 13 1 3 y o i r n lying o d ni e;7ll w p a o S ll f t o h un e g rod by Prisoner admitted that he had committed the horrid deed, and appeared to gloat over it with a fie ndish sa tisfactio n , repeating again and again that he wa s a good shot, and had aimed at the killing place. This tale he subsequently changed, and to the last maintained that he had shot wife accidentally. After his condemnation, a petition was got up for a commutation of his sentence, signed by 500 per sons ; but the law was allowed to take its course. During the past week he seemed to be most affected by his awful position, and in his conversations with the Rev. Mr. Rowley, the prison chaplain, he admitted the enormity of his by gone course of life, and said he hoped his fate w ould be a warning to others, and induce them to avoid gambling, sabbath-breaking, and drinking. Prior to his execution, he was asked several times to confess his guilt; but he per sited to the last in saying that he did not shoot his wife willingly. At twelve o'clock, the noose having been ad justed by Calcraft, the executioner, and all the preliminaries having been gone through, the Chaplain read the service for the dead, which having been concluded, the wretched man fervently ejaculated, " Lord Jesus, receive my soul ; " the executioner drew the bolt, and the world and its cares speedily closed over the unhappy culprit, who expired with scarcely a struggle. The body was allowed to hang till one o'clock, when it was taken down, to be buried within the precincts of the gaol. A large concourse of people was Present, to witaees the execution. who bowed and said, " Have I the honour tf addressing Mr. —?" - To The answer, " Yes," he replied, " I merely called in consequence of a message . from our Lon don correspondent; to leave with you this cheque for £100."

MATCH-MAKING GUARDIANS. — An amusing instance of the Benedictine propensities of a board of guardians who flourish on the banks of the Humber was revealed at a re- cent meeting of that respectable body. The question was asked whether the recent marriage of the schoolmaster and schoolmistress was not contrary to the terms of their en gagements. In answer to this interrogatory, it was stated, on official authority, that the schoolmistress was engaged on the express understanding that she was to be married to the schoolmaster !

"THE EikrrnEss OF PIIRGATOILY."—The following ex tract from the blasphemous stuff which the pervert Faber has put forth in a book of devotion" lately published by him, will serve to illustrate the extent 'of that 4 ` strong de lusion" under which apostates from the true church and the true faith are brought to " believe alie :"—" Look at that vast kingdom of Purgatory, with its Empress mother, Mary. All those countless throngs a souls are the dear and faifhful spouses of Jesus. Yet in what a strange abandennuerit of supernatural suffering has His love left them 1 He longs for their deliverence—He yearns for them iabe transferred from that land, perpetually over clouded-by pain, to the bright sunshine of their heavenly home. Yet he has tied His own hands, or nearly so. He gives*hem no more grace ; He allows them no more time for penance : He prevents them from - meriting ; nay, some havethought they could not pray. How, then , stands the caseliith the souls in the suffering char& ? Why, is it a thing to meditate on when we have said it—they depend almost more on earth than they do-on heaven ; almost more owns than on Him; so he has willed it on whom all de peed and without whom there 'is no dependence. It is clear then that Jesus has His interest there. He wants His captives released. Those whom He has redeemed He now . bids us redeem, us whom, if - there be life at all in us, He has already himself redeemed.

BETTER OBSERVANCE OF THE LORD'S DAY.—It is a wonderful thing to contemplate how good principles are sometimes seen to prevail even among men who are not good. A vast change has taken place in London with reference to the observance of •the Sabbath, within the last 30 years ; a change, the production of which is not to *be traced to any human agency. At the period of the !battle of Waterloo, the parks were thronged from one • o'clock to five each Sunday with people of rank and 'fashion. Now, no one is seen there of higher class than a •man of the turf, or a woman of doubtful character. At the same period, Sunday was the great day for dinner -parties at the west-end. Now tlit practice is also abandoned, or left only to the least respectable of the iweedthy classes. And the same ehange is still going on. A day or two since, we saw the following advertisement in an Edinburgh newspaper:—" Roslin Chapel and Castle.—By order of the proprietor, the Chapel and Castle of Roslin are not in future to be exhibited to any one on Supdays. They will be shown as formerly on every lawful d a y." But this was in Scotland, and it may be said, that the change is easily accounted for. Well, the next news of the same sort comes from France. A steeple-chase is announced to be run at Dieppe, and in France all events of this kind are usually allotted to the Sunday, when the most people can be present. But now, strange to say, it .has been resolved to alter the day to Thursday, especially with reference to those whose religious feelings would be violated by a Sunday given to racing. This is quite a new feature in French festivities. But this is not all. From the•very ends of the earth come the same tidings. The •latest accounts we have seen of the movements of the insurgents in China dwell on the vast benefit which the 300,000,000 of 'Chinese will derive from the establishment of the Sabbath among them. These ameliorations, flow ing from Christianity, but not traceable to a real conver sion of heart, are very wonderful. They scarcely fall in with any known theory; and the just and accurate appreciation of them must be left to that day when Christ's followers shall see face to face, and know even as they are known.—Record. DARING BURGLARY AT LORD DENMAN'S SEAT IN DERBYSHIRE. -On Saturday week, information was received in London of a most daring burglary at the seat of Lord Denman, at Stoney Middleton, Derbyshire, where property and cash to the value of more than £6OO were stolen. Amongst the missing articles were the massive gold box presented by the Corporation of London, and containing the freedom of the city, and also a pair of can dlesticks, which had been presented to his lordship by her Majesty. The burglary was effected either on Wednesday night or Thursday morning, and the thieves not only took the cash-box, with some gold and silver, but a handsome gold watch, which was in one of his lordship's waistcoats, was taken also. Amongst the list of the property stolen is a gold box, value £lOO, containing coronation medals of George IV, William IV, and Queen Victoria. The whole of the valuable property has been recovered. A footman in the service of his lordship was suspected, and taken into custody on the charge. Since then the mystery attendant upon the robbery has been cleared up by the apprehension of the real offender. On Saturday morning, a man, dressed in the garb of a mason, presented himself at a pawnbroker's shop in the city of York, kept by a person named Chapman, and offered for sale the lid of a silver inkstand, stating that he found it on the road. The shopman, discrediting the story, and suspecting it to have been stolen, detained the man until the arrival of the police, who at once took him into custody. On the prisoner being searched, the remaining portions of the inkstand, together with the gold lining of the box which contained the parchment of the freedom of the city of London, presented to Lord Denman by the corporation of that city after the trial of Queen Caroline, as also the gold medals, were found in the pos session of the prisoner, and the silver candlesticks were found at the place where the prisoner had passed the night. The man, who gave his name as Simpson, gave the follow ing account of himself :—He had been working as a stone mason at Birkenhead, and on the Saturday previous to the robbery he was at Liverpool, where he remained till 3fon. day, and then proceeded to Manchester. From Manchester he went to Bakewell, a place about three miles from Lord Denman's residence, where lie arrived on the Wednesday evening. At this place he partook of some i refreshments, his account in explanation of his wandering n this way about the country being that he was in search of work. Having no sleeping place, and passing through Middleton on Wednesday night, he turned into the grounds of the noble lord to pass the night there. On reaching the hall he found the door partially open, and as the family had retired to rest, it being then past midnight, he went in, and passed into the drawing-room, whence he took the property. When about to make a further incursion up stairs, he was disturbed by a noise, and beat a hasty retreat. He hastened forward on his way, and concealed the spoil in his bundle until his arrival in York, where he was ap prehended about ten o'clock. The man was a stranger to the locality of Middleton, and stated that none of the servants had any participation in the robbery, which he declared was quite impromp tu, suggested by finding the hall door open. The prisoner was taken before the magic. traces at Bakewell on Thursday, and committed. THE WELLINGTON COLI menial reaches Ind )ove ±:B3 lune last, Iva,. EV. T.

He was bow over to keep the peace. INDIAN RAILWAY.—A prospectus has been issued of a new .Bombay railway, to be called the Bombay, Baroda, _ _ and Central India Railway Company, with a capital of £4,500,000, in £2O shares. The principal object is to con nect Bombay with Agra, so as ultimately to form a junction with the Bengal line, and thus open an uninterrupted route from Bombay to Calcutta, but it is also proposed to construct a line from Surat into the cotton districts of Candeish and Berar and the coal districts of the Nerbudda. The main features of the scheme having been approved by the Governor-General, the India-house, it is stated, have authorised the company to make the requisite surveys, and have guaranteed the expenses that may be incurred for that purpose. Tux ALLEGED ATTEMPT to SELL AN INDIAN CADET sarp.—At the Mansion-house, London, on Thursday, the Lord Mayor gave his decision in the matter of the charge preferred by the East India Company against Mr. Norman Wilkinson, who was alleged to have been concerned, with a person whose name is unknown, in trafficking for an appointment in the gift of the East India Company. The Lord Mayor's decision was that, as there was no evidence that the transaction charged as an offence took place in the city of Londott, he had no jurisdiction, and should therefore dismiss the case. Mr. Clarkson then applied to the Lord Mayor to commit Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, M.P. for refusing to disclose the name of the person who had made the offer of a cadetship to Mr. Norman Wilkinson ; but the Lord Mayor rejected the application, on the ground that the wording of the statute, on which Mr. Clarkson relied, did not give him 'the power. The summons against Mr. Norman Wilkinson was then dismissed. ROBBERY OF A JEWELLER'S SHOP IN DRRBY. Wednesday morning it was discovered thatil;:Warce'; shop, in St. Peter's-street, had been robbed to a great ex tent of watches, rings, and other valuable jewellery. A man who was sweeping the street between five and six o'clock in the morning, discovered one of the shutters of the window in a position in which it ought not to be. He alarmed the inmates of the house, and, on their looking into the affair, they discovered that the shutter had been forcibly removed from its fastenings, the window (plate glass) had been broken at the corner, and a great number of gold and silver watches, rings, and other valuable jewellery had been extracted. The robbery had been effected with considerable adroitness, as a large glass was placed over the rings, and this had been removed, and placed on its side, and the bar on which the watches were hung was much bent, to admit of their being taken from it. A case of brooches, not of the most expensive kind, was left. The thieves evidently had carefully selected that part of the window containing the most valuable class of goods.—Upwards of &MOO worth of jewellery was stolen. THE PLOUGH SUPERSEDED.-31r. Meclii, in a letter to the Times, says :—" Since the trial of implements at my gathering' I have received from one of our North Ameri can colonies the model of a newly-invented machine, which, by a happy and most simple combination of horse and steam power, will—and I pledge my agricultural reputa tion for it—not only deeply, cheaply, and efficiently culti vate and pulverize the soil, but at the same time sow the seed and leave all in a finished condition. It will also, by a simple inversion, cut and gather the corn without any rake or other complication ; while both in cultivation and harvesting its operation will be continuous and without stoppage. The inventor and his machine have, by the government of the district, been placed under my charge and guidance. I have therefore, on public grounds, and considering the vast importance of the invention in a na tional point of view, advised the in v e n to r t o grant licenses for its manufacture, at a very moderate royalty, to the most eminent agricultural implement makers in various parts of the kingdom, so that our agriculturalists may be secured by competition against monopoly or inferiority, while the inventor will benefit in proportion to the appre ciation of its meits. I shall call together a meeting of the various implement-makers, and in due time my practical friends of the old school (who must now consider me quite insane) will have an opportunity on my farm of forming their own conclusions. I may venture to state generally that the implement when complete will about twenty to twenty-four cwt., will require a pair of horses, and will represent the power of about eight to twelve, or more, real horses. The implement for digging will require one man and one boy only, including the management of the steam engine; in reaping, the same, with the addition of three men to bind as the corn falls into their arms. The men will be carried on the machine. MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN GOODMAN'S FIELDS.—On Wednesday a dreadful and deliberate mur der was perpetrated upon a married female, named Ca therine Mobbs, aged forty-six, by her husband, Nathaniel Mobbs, aged forty.three, a wine cooper and porter, re siding at Goodman's-fields, Minories, who afterwards cut his own throat with a table-knife. Mobbs had been in the service of Messrs. Walter Howell and Hale, wholesale wine merchants, but for some time past he has been lead ing a life of dissipation, and while intoxicated he would return home in a state of excitement, and cruelly ill-treat his wife. They had a family of four children, two boys and two girls, the eldest being about ten years of age. Mobbs went out in the morning, and returned about half past one in the afternoon, apparently quite sober, and told the children to go out and play, About three o'clock one of the landlord's daughters, who was sitting in the front parlour, heard a cry of " Murder," which was ac companied by a desperate struggling noise in the first floor room. The girl went on to the stairs to listen, when she met Mrs. Mobbs rushing down with a frightful wound in the front of her neck. Her hands were covered with blood, and her dress was also saturated with gore. Mrs. Mobbs reached the front of the house, and fell on to the stone pavement, where several neighbours, who had been attracted to the spot, raised her up, and placed her in a chair, while several persons ran for medical assistance. By this time a young man, named John Readen, came to the house and was asked by one of the family to go up stairs, and see where Mobbs was. The man was lying in a corner of the room, with a severe wound in the throat. There were two knives, besmeared with blood, lying on the table, and a , dstone, on which Mobbs hue „,ece of grin sharpened the weapons. The room was in a state of great confusion, as if the deceased and the wretched man had struggled together for several minutes. Two medical gen tlemen were soon in attendance, and no time was lost by them in temporarily dressing their wounds, after which they were conveyed to the London Hospital ; but the fe male expired as she was being taken into the surgery. The man was sensible. As he was being carried to the cab he exclaimed, ” I did it, I did it." Mobbs, who was a most desperate character, and was called in the neighbour hood, among the lower class of persons, "General Haynau," is in a fair way of recovery.
