sE4I I ,OI‘QJ EDITION. Standard•ofjice, Ten o'clock. CENTRAL CRININAL COURT.-YESTERDAY, (From 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 Maule, 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 Arabia 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 nume rous b o d y o f 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 court 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. Manic, the soiiictor 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 L a dy th e Q ueen to death, and with such 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 oar said Lady the Queen. And 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 loader: 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 togethei 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 yon not better hear the Attcrney-General first, and then you will be able to reply to his observations? INIr. 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 such confidence in an English 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 affidavit 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 fi xe d to come on on Thursday, the 9th of July next. The prisoner, who throughout the entire proceeding exhi bited great levity of manner, was then removed from the 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. Mi.. 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 attendance, 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 Gouid, 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-MOND AY . 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 gers 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.-4 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. Nov it was desirable that the house sbculd decide upon which bill they should adopt, his (Lord Stanley's) or the Soli c it or -General's for Ireland; and the house Would not do its duty if they allowed the noble lord, 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 next. (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 be should move the third reading of the Flour Importation (Ireland) Bill this evening. COLONIAL PASSENGERS BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL moved the third reading of the Colonial Passengers Bill. Left sitting. THIRD EDITION. Standard Qffice, Three o'clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,-THIS DAY. The supplies into this port, coastwise and from Ireland, since Tuesday last, have continued to come forward very sparingly ; but of foreign Wheat and Flour the arrivals are large, as specified underneath, and are being placed under lock ; except the Canadian Flour, which being subject to a duty of 31d. per barrel only, is of course free for consump tion. In the week ending 7th May last, as then stated, duty was paid on 83,237 qrs. foreign Wheat, and 143,690 barrels Flour, Wheat. Flour.

United States Flour, duty-paid, continued to be taken rather freely at the advance above mentioned, and Canadian was saleable at from 355. to 365. per barrel. Bonded Flour, being held on higher terms, appear to have prevented any further transactions since Friday. Foreign Barley, upon a fair inquiry, supported late prices. Malt and Peas remained unvaried.—Beans, gradually be coming more difficult of sale, were is per qr. cheaper. Oats and Oatmeal, although continuing to meet a limited demand, were held at the rates last noted. • ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 16th to the 22nd June, 1840, inclusive, IRE- COAST-:UNITED PO DESCRIPTION.

At our market this morning we had a tolerably good show of English Wheat fresh up ; in the early part of the day factors held firmly for higher prices, which, however, would not on any account be agreed to by our millers, and it was not until an abatement of is. per quarter on last Monday's prices was accepted, that any progress could be made in ef fecting sales, at which reduction business to a fair extent took place. Fine foreign Wheat was not much in demand, and barely maintained its previous value. The Flour trade was dull, and both town and country manufactured were the turn cheaper. Of Barley the receipts were moderate, and, with a steady inquiry for grinding sorts, last week's rates were fully realised. We have to report rather a liberal ar rival of Oats during last week, besides a good fresh supply this morning. Factors were, nevertheless, firm in their de mands, and it was only in partial instances that any abate ment was submitted to. Beans and Peas were without alter ation either as regards demand or value. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. TUESDAY, JUNE 23.—Wind West.

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 ie;r 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- cient Interest. ANNUITIES—when payable out of land. B UILDINGS — freehold, leasehold, or copyhold. CHARGE—of a sum of money upon land, if the owner of such charge be in the actual occupation of the property charged. CO MMON — rights of. LANDS—freehold, leasehold, or copyhold. M INES—of coal, ironstone, &c. PEws—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. SHAREs—in navigable rivers, canals, &c., if held as real property. 'hill - Es—held by clergymen or laymen. TOLLS—of markets or fairs. It is not generally know n as it ought to be to the 26th clause of the refor m act, the , that according owners of property, acq uired by descent, successi on , marriage, settle ment, devise, promotion to any benefice inmttreriage c . hurch, or promotion to any office, are entitled to vote (the claimed before the 20th of July), although the same being may have come into possession of the parties an 710 property vious to the day of registration. The prevailing not : pre 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 pr ev i ous 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 ann ua l 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 original term of fifty years, 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 co un ty vo te. the lessee or assigne e o f a t erm o f t wen ty y e ars, how ever small the residue, and the occupier of lands, &c, at an annual rent, the requisite I -ear y value is fifty pounds, with twelve months possession.• • If within the borough, will not give a county vote. Mortgagees or trustees in actual poss • ession 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 !

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 quartets 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 bill 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." Bavt,, with an eatansiva park, finely wooded, The mansion is a spacious modern building, with pediment tilling 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 tire-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 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 intervenin g . In a few minutes a boat came to the side, in which I embarked with several otheis. We landed on the bank, and re-embarking in another boat, were wafted across the seoond 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. 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 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 : "Hann HIDLIOTHECAM pro commtmiLITERATORUM sub cura curati Capellee de HALTON, Proventibus ter feliciter Augmentatm JOHANNIS CHESSHYRE miles Serviens D'ni Regis at Legem. D. D. D. Anno troccxxixr." 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 laave 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 !o 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 Call 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 onthe 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 legit 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 H. 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 ]536, the abbot of Norton priory, and three of the canons, were immured by Sir Piers button, 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 ball, 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 gatT 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. &c. &c., this prospect is hum bly incribed. by S. and IV. 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 o ne 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. Leal, R. Leicester, P. Davenport, and W. Tongue, Esqrs. "The Honble. James Cholmondeley, Lord of the Manor. "J. Pickering, Esq., Steward; Win. 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 spe n d a f ew d ays at the Castle, in place of ex posing themselves to the allurements of expense at the races on Kersal Moor. There are few vt lv eminences Pß °mi nT the north m o E f England whence a more extensive series of delightful views can be obtai n ed and undulated tl e.

Leav ing the inn by an eastern door, the vi ta r a small plantation, and thence, by an arched pa doorwayesthrough either end of a portion of the ruins, enters the at bowling green. Recessed in this part of the dilapidated there is an alcove fronted by two arches, above whslrilicture are various-sized windowapertures in the broken wall. there Here on the plastered walls and roof, and on the .eat • d , an table, are scratched or cut innumerable names of visiters, from' towns and places far and near, who have thus vainly • sourrht a transient reputation. Passing to t he 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 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 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 R. 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 o f thi s pract i ce, 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 respect the sentiments of the nation, and listen to the dictates of policy or shame.— Britannia.

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 9,00 brls. have changed hands, in bond, at 248 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. LONDON GAZETTE.-FRIDAY, JUNE 19. PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED. Oldfield and Muir, Liverpool—Simpson and Melville, Liverpool— T.
