STzCOND EDITION. Standard.office, Ten o'clock. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-YESTERDAY. N•om the London Standard of last night.) ARRAIGNMENT OF EDWARD OXFORD FOR HIGH TEEASON, AND POSTPONEMENT OF THE TRIAL. This morning, at nine o'clock, Mr. Sergeant Arabin and Mr. Alderman Lainson took their seats upon the bench, and were shortly afterwards followed by the Hon. Fox Malik, M.P., Hon. E. J. Stanley, M.P., Major Anderson, and in a few minutes the court was filled in every part by a highly respectable auditory. The arrangements made by the sheriffs were to-day precisely the same as those which tended so much to the public convenience during the trial of the convict Courvoisier last week. At a quarter-past nine o'clock the prisoner was placed at the bar to be arraigned on the indictment. He advanced with a smile to the front of the dock, and manifested great firmness and self-possession. He was respectably dressed in a suit of blue, and his general appearance was youthful and prepossessing. At this time Mr. Sydney Taylor and Mr. Bodkin, who were retained as counsel for the prisoner, were in court ; and, on the prisoner being placed at the bar, Mr. Sydney Taylor rose to make an application for the • postponement of the trial, but Mr. Sergeant Arabin declined to entertain the application, which, he said must be made to the judges, when they and the counsel for the prosecution had arrived. The prisoner was then removed from the bar. In the in terval which elapsed from this moment until the arrival of the judges, several distinguished personages were introduced by the sheriffs to a seat upon the bench. Amongst others we noticed the Duke of Brunswick, with his equerry, Baron Audlow, Lord Colchester, and a numerous body of elegantly dressed ladies. Mrs. Oxford, the mother of the unfortunate prisoner, sat in the box usually allotted to jurors in waiting. She is a good-looking woman, apparently about forty years of age, and was respectably attired in black. Precisely at ten minutes before ten o'clock, the Attorney- General, Sir Frederick Pollock, Mr. Adolphus, and Mr. Wightman, the counsel for the prosecution, entered the cou rt and took their places at the counsel's table. The At torney-General was accompanied by one of his sons. At this moment the anxiety of the auditory was intense. Mr. Maule, the soliictor for the Treasury, had been in court from its sitting. At five minutes past 10, the Lord Chief Justice Tindal and the Right Hon. Mr. Baron Parke were ushered to their seats on the bench by Mr. Sheriff - Evans, Mr. Sheriff Wheel ton, Mr. 'Alderman Thomas Wood, Mr. Alderman Gibbs, and Messrs. Under Sheriffs France and Jackson. Proclamation for silence having been made, Mr. Clark, the Clerk of Arraigns, in obedience to the order of the Court, directed Mr. Cope to place Edward Oxford at the Bar. A death-like silence prevailed, and every eye was turned to the dock. The prisoner in a few seconds again appeared, and advanced with a light step and a smile upon his countenance to the front of the bar. Lord Chief Justice.—Let the prisoner be called upon to plead. Mr•. Sydney Taylor rose and said, that he was instructed on behalf of the prisoner to make an application to postpone the trial upon facts set forth upon affidavit. Lord Chief Justice Tindal.—How can you be heard upon any motion of that sort until the prisoner has pleaded ? I presume the trial, and not the arraignment is all that you wish to postpone. The law requires the prisoner to plead, and he must plead before an application to postpone the trial is made. After a short pause, . . The Clerk of Arraigns proceeded as follows :—Edward Oxford, you are indicted, and the indictment states, that you being a subject of our Sovereign Lady the Queen, did, on the 10th of June inst., within the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court, being a false traitor to our said Lady the Queen, maliciously and traitorously compass imagine, and intend to put our said Lady the Queen to death, and with B=o wicked treason, on the said 10th of June instant, you did maliciously and traitorously shoot off a certain pistol (then held in one of your hands) against the person of our said Lady the Queen, loaden with gunpowder and one leaden bullet, with intent thereby maliciously and traitorously to shoot, kill, assassinate, and put to death our said Lady the Queen, and thereby you traitorously made a direct attempt against the life of our said Lady the Queen. Aud the indictment states that on the same day you did afterwards maliciously and traitorously shoot off and discharge a certain other pistol, held in one of your hands, at the person of our said Lady the Queen, and loaden with gunpowder and one leaden bullet, with intent thereby maliciously and traitor ously to shoot, assassinate, kill, and put to death our said Lady the Queen, thereby again traitorously making an at tempt against the life of our said Lady the Queen. How say you, Edward Oxford, are you guilty or not guilty ? The prisoner, in a firm but rather flippant tone, said, Not Guilty. The affidavit of the prisoner's attorney was then read. It set forth that the deponent had been engaged for the prisoner on the 16th instant, but'that he had lost considerable time since in ascertaining whether Mr. Humphries, who had been first engaged to defend the prisoner, had declined to do so. It then proceeded to allege, that, in consequence of the ab sence of many material witnesses, who resided at a distance from each other and from the place of trial, it was found im possible to collect and put together the various proofs neces sary for the instruction of counsel to defend the prisoner. The state of the public mind was also urged as an additional reason for the postponement of the trial. The greatest part of Mr. O'Connell's letter was introduced into the affidavit, which the deponent submitted must have the effect of in flaming the minds of the jury prejudicially against the pri soner. Mr. Sydney Taylor again rose, and was about to urge some observations upon the Court in support of the application. Lord Chief Justice Tindal.—Had you not better hear the Attorney-General first, and then you will be able to reply to his observations ? Mr. Sydney Taylor acquiesced, and resumed his seat. The Attorney-General rose and said he should have felt him self called upon to oppose the motion if there had been nothing stated in the affidavit which had just been read, except the observations upon the present state of the public mind, and upon the paragraphs reflecting upon the case, which from time to time had appeared in the public newspapers ; for he (the Attorney-General) had sdch confidence in an Engl i sh jury, that he well knew that the accused would have a fair and impartial trial at their hands, even if the court was now at once to proceed with this solemn inquiry and investiga tion. He was sure the jury would utterly disregard both what might have been stated to them, or any of them, in conversation, or what had appeared in the public newspapers. He was sure they would look only to the evidence that might be adduced before them, and would not be influenced by anything they had either heard or read. But when he found the professional adviser of the prisoner stating on his oath that the prisoner's friends had important and material wit nesses to bring forward on his behalf, and that he was not prepared now to bring them forward, God forbid that he (the Attorney General) should reject this claim, feeling, as he did, that it was the last importance that the administration of justice should be acknowledged to be pure and impartial. He should be extremely sorry if in future times, when this transaction came to form part of the history of the land, the records should be enabled to make a charge, that the At torney General of the day,should have refused to consent to an application to postpone the trial when an a ffi davit had been read, stating that material witnesses might be brought forward if time were allowed to show that the party accused was not amenable to the law, inasmuch as he was not, at the time of committing the act charged, in a state of mind to make him answerable to the law for that act. On that ground without hesitation, he consented to a postponement of the trial. The next sessions of the Court would be held in about a fortnight, and he could not but express his earnest hope that in the meantime no discussion of this case would take place in the public prints—that there would be no further publication of letters addressed by the prisoner to the Secretary of State, and that there would be a general consent to abstain from everything that could in the remotest degree steel the public mind against the accused, or create a suspicion upon the pure administration of justice. With these observations he at once on the part of the Crown yielded to this application on behalf of the prisoner. Lord Chief Justice Tindal.—Mr. Attorney-General, you have taken a high and most proper course. I beg to express my entire concurrence in the earnest hope that in the mean time. between this period and the trial, the public prints will observe a profound silence on the subject of this case. After a short desultory conversation between counsel on both sides and the court, the trial was fixed to come on on Thursday, the 9th of July next. The prisoner,. who thro ug h ou t t h e ent i re proceeding exhi bited grea.levi . ty of manner , was then remove d f rom t h e bar, a smile still playing upon his countenance. Many of the distinguished persons present shortly afterwards left the court. TRIAL OF GOULD. Shortly after the trial of Oxford had been postponed, Richard Gould was placed at the bar, charged with break ing and entering the dwelling-house of the late unfortunate Mr. Templeman, in Pocock's-fields, Islington, and stealing therefrom a sum of money, his property. The prisoner walked with a firm step to the bar, and respectfully bowed to the coart. He maintains the same nerve and firmness which he has so remarkably exhibited on all former inquiries. He pleaded in a firm tone of voice Not Guilty. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Ballantine conduct the prosecution. The prisoner has no counsel. Mr. Bodkin, at considerable length, detailed the facts of the case to the jury ; but as there is no circumstance con nected with the inquiry with which the public is not fully acquainted, we consider it unnecessary to give a detailed re port of the trial, particularly so as the result is the only point of importance; and it is not likely, as there are 26 witnesses in atte n d ance , that the verdict will be returned un til a very late hour. THE VERDICT. At half-past five this afternoon, after the learned Judge had charged the jury, commenting upon the evidence as he proceeded, and pointing out to their particular attention those parts which most immediately bore upon the guilt or inno cence of Gould, the gentlemen of the jury retired to consider their verdict, and returned at six o'clock, when they pro nounced the prisoner Guilty. The Judge immediately passed upon him the sentence of —Transportation for Life. HOUSE OF COMMONS-MONDAY. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord J. RUSSELL said he proposed this evening in the first place to move the third reading of the Colonial Passen rters Bill ; after that the third reading of the Admiralty 'Courts Bill ; and if the discussions on these measures was concluded by nine o'clock, he should move the second read. ing of the Registration of Voters (Ireland) Bill, No. 2. Lord STANLEY.—If the second reading of the Irish Re. gistration Bill (No. 2) does not come on this evening, is the noble lord prepared to say on what day he will move it (Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL.—I cannot name any other day. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Lord STANLEY.—The noble lord admits the urgent ne cessity of considering the present mode of the registration of voters both in England and Ireland, and yet he is not pre sent to state a day. Now it was desirable that the house should decide upon which bill they should adopt, his (Lord Stanley's) or the Solicitor-General's for Ireland; and the house would not do its duty if they allowed the noblelord, at this period of the session, to postpone both bills after the present week. (Hear.) He would not consent to have the further consideration of his bill postponed beyond Monday nest. (Hear.) Lord . J. RUSSELL said, he did not consider that he was bound , to appoint any day for the consideration of those measures; they would come on in the ordinary course. (Hear.) Mr. LABOUCHERE said, he wished to give notice to Irish members that if an opportunity occurred he should move the third reading of the Flour Importation (Ireland) Bill this evening. COLONIAL PASSENGERS BILL. Lord J. Russzu. moved the third reading of the Colo n i a l Passengers Bill: Left sitting. NEWFOUNDLAND.. Letters and papers from the colony have beeii 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 would soon find his house too hot to hold 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 Carbonear, 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 Carbouear 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. \Vinton 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 ; the more enlightened 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 dpon 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 poss;bi 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 arc 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 :77 Property qualifying County Voters, if they possess a suifi inar e h s eu e h n mo ldoi payableleasehold, money l t du o ,p f oonr lland.land, d,ift eient Interest. BC A Hu N IA N LR u DG IT N L G E s s - - f copyhold.ie owner of such charge be in the actual occupation of the property charged. COMMON —rights of. LANDS—freehold, leasehold, or copyhold. MINES—of coal, ironstone, &c. p E ws—if the act of parliament for building the church in which they are declares them to be freehold of inheritance. RENTS—rent charges, chief rents, fee farm rents, ground rents. SHARKS—in navigable rivers, canals, &c., if held as real prgerty. T ITHES —held by clergymen or laymen. TOLLS—of markets or fairs . It is not generally , known as it ought to be, that according to the 26th clause of the reform act, the owners of property, acquired by descent, succession, marriage, marriage settle ment, devise, promotion to any benefice in the church, or promotion to any office, are entitled to vote (the same being claimed before the 20th of July), although the same property may have come into possession of the parties an hour pre vious to the day of registration. 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, or acquired by marriage settlement, devise, &c., or of which he was seized on the 7th June, 1832, in which case forty shillings is sufficient. A house, warehouse, counting-house, or shop, within the borough, and of ten pounds annual value, will not give a county vote to the owner, if in his own occupation. For copyhold property, the requisite clear annual value is ten pounds, with six months' possession. If within the borough, will not give a county vote. For the lessee or assignee of an origin a l t erm o f fifty ye a rs, however small the residue of the term, the requisite annual value is ten pounds, with twelve months possession. If within the borough, will not confer a county vote. For the lessee or assignee of a term of twenty years, how ever small the residue, and the occupier of lands, &c, at an annual rent, the requisite yearly value is fifty pounds, with twelve months possession. If within the borough, will not give a county vote. Mortgagees or trustees in actual possession or receipt of rents and profits to their own use, may register according to to the nature of the property. Conservatives ! remember the twentieth of July, and the calls of your country, 'religion, and laws SKETCHES OF LIVERPOOL AND ITS VICINITY, NO. VIII. (Written for the Liverol 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 :Aso 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." H ALTON. 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 be 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 : " Hanc BIBLIOTHECAM pro communiLITERATOROM USU, sub cura curati Capellse de HALTON, Proventibus ter feliciter Augmentatze Jon ANNIS CHESSHYRE 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 lo 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. lIALTON 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 laud 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 D utton,tton, 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 fallen into 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 what is termed the gate house, on the site of which the inn 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. &e. &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:— ``iih 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. fewveineiWineFnltceosMiliT the l north of a more extensive series of delightful and undulated country, There are views e E s u n gl b a e nd ob w te he in n e c d e e v . inna S tu it r u s a li t y ed va i r i i i ed th s e n d m r i e d m d l a e n o t f i e a , rich than from Halton Castl of agriculture and commercge been .. enhanced by the appliances to the eye in wood and water, presents all that is gratifying the beauties of which having hill and vale, mansion and cottage, peaceful hamlet and 'dis n thriving town.

Here on the plastered walls and roof, and on the seat and table, are scratched or cut innumerable names of visiters, from towns and places far and near, who have thus vainly soug h t a transient reputation. Passing to the eastern margin of the green, the view southward embraces the Overton hills, Delamere forest, the country bordered on the valley of the Weaver, including Sutton and Aston, Daresbury, and Preston Brook. Further eastward is a tine 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 Cheshire, 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 B. Brooks, PRIESTS ON THE LOOK-OUT FOR CONVERTS. — A respect able correspondent in this neighbourhood has declared his readiness to restore a girl of the Protestant faith to her eye sight if her whole family go to mass. The eye is entirely destroyed, and attempt at cure would not be entered upon by the able and attentive surgeon, G. A.

SUNDAY DINNERS.—We have been strong, but, we hope, consistent advocates for preserving the sanctity of the Sab bath-day ; and while enforcing the 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 parties 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 many thousands will justify a habitual disregard of the holiness of this day by their example? If they have lost all feeling in this mat ter themselves, let them at least resp ect the sentiments of the nation, and liste n t o t h e dictates policy or shame.— Britannia.

ThQ 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 is supposed 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 ninny 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 set 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 regret than that the daylight did not last to the end of my journey through ‘ a country which presents many features of interest.

ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 12th instant to this day, inclusive. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 22. 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 has been asked for a favourite brand of prime Mess. Pork is dull. Bacon goes off with much freedom at sas to 548 for the best article. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 22. There was to-day a small supply of Beasts at market; prime Beef in demand at 7d to ;id, second quality 62d, inferior 6d to 6id. 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 7id, second quality 6 inferior 6d. Good Lambs were in demand at fully our last quotations, 74d, inferior 7d. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 20. Since this day se'nnight the imports of British Grain have been light; but those of foreign produee 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 in 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. Beaus are rather cheaper. No change as regards Peas. LIVERPOOL PR A s fins Montreal, Pot 23 0 (it 25 0 Pearl, new 3l 6 —3l 6 U. States, Pot none. Pearl none. BARK, Quercit.
