The children were seriousl! injueed, but are expected to recover. The unfortunate mother, who was in an upper room, was carried up along with the floor, and was literally shattered to pieces. The inhabitants of the adjoining cottage were happily out, and consequently escaped this dreadful catastrophe. There were thirty-two pounds of gunpowder in the house, the whole of which exploded. Four of the adjoining cottages were much damaged. SEIZURE OF THE BRIG LADY SALE. OF THIS PORT, DY A PORTUGUESE MAN-OF-WAR.--‘Considerable sen sation has been occasioned in this town amongst the gaged in the African trade by the illegal seizure of the brig named, whilst trading on the coast of Africa for palm oil, ivory, &c. It appears from a French paper, which first published the account, (substantially correct), that the vessel, which belonged to the house of Charles 110 and Son, had been two or three months in Rio Zaire and Congo to procure palm oil and ivory, but not being successful, was going to Ambrez to take a cargo of copal, when she was captured, during the ab sence of the captain, by a Portuguese man-of-war, and afterwards condemed by the Portuguese authorities on the assumed ground she had on board 26 casks of water, several bags of rice, and some bars, and that therefore the probability was that she was a slaver. There was not the slightest ground for such an imputation. The articles stated are always taken out by vessels in the legitimate trade to the coast, and are actually necessary to pursuing it. The Portuguese judges have been over zealous in their construction of the slave treaty between the two countries, and a representation from her Majesty's Government will, we trust, be promptly attended to by our ancient ally of Portugal, so that restitution may be made. The idea of any vessel belonging to Messrs. Horafall being engaged in the slave trade is, of course,.preposterous. ATROCIOUS CRUELTY.—At Manchester Police-court, on Friday, a man and his wife, named Marshall, who keep a beerhouse in that town, ware brought up kr hav ing ill-treated a decrepid old woman, 67 years old, the mother of the male prisoner. One witness said that he was passing the house of the prisoners the preceding day, when lie perceived Marshall's wife swinging found a double rope, with which she was flogging an old woman, who appeared to be fastened in a chair. The woman, after beating the poor old creature with the rope, struck her with her fist, and afterwards ran at her and kicked her just underneath the knee. He then tapped at the in hopes that when the woman found her bruta lity was observed she would desist, and his doing so seemed to have the desired effect. Mr. Beswick, the superin tendent of the police, said that be had been to the house, and found the wretched parent fastened to a chair in the cellar by an iron chain, which was passed round one of her firms and waist, and secured through the spindles at the back of the chair by a padlock Her arms were left at liberty, but on her hands they had placed a pair of long gauntlets, formed of strong bed ticking, which came up to and were fastened at the elbow, the bottom portion or fringes of these gauntlets being formed of strong leather, like the shield used by a " hedger and ditcher." The case was remanded. LAUNCH.—On Wednesday, the launch of two steamers took place from Messrs. Thomas Vernon and Co.'s yard, Pottery. About half-past ten o'clock, everything being in preparation, the Windsor, for such she was named by Mrs. Grantham, left her stocks, and glided beautifully - ixindov into the water In a few minutes atterwards the second cited, and christened by another lady the • Ajax. The first-named vessel is the property of the City of Dublin Company, and is intended to ply between this port and Belfast. She is 200 feet between perpendiculars, has 20 feet beam, and 16 feet depth of hold ; her extreme length over all is 230 feet. She was built under the im mediate superintendence of Mr. Grantham. The Ajax is the property of the City of Cork company, andis to be placed on the station between London and Cork. Her dimensions are about the same as those of the other ves sel, having but five feet more in length, and two inches in depth of hold. She was built under the direction of Mr. J. Haseldsp. Both vessels will be fitted up with engines of 350 horse power, constructed by Messrs. Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy. These vessels have been erected in the short space of six months, and being built upon a different, construction in their fine lines, some interest is felt as to their sailing qualifications. The keel of another vessel. the fourth in succession for the same City of Cork Company, is about to be laid by Messrs. Vernon, which, we understand, is to be of less tonnage than either of the vessels launched on Wednesday, and is to be provided with engines of 400 horse power.

They, in fact, tumbled down, and were more or less hint, though not seriously. Our informant states that he found the door at the bottom jammed up, and was almost hopeless of escaping, but telt himself endowed, as be thought, with " the strength of a lion," and succeeded in forcing it open. Thankful he and his comrades expressed themselves for their delivery. In room No. 2 eight out of the nine escaped. Two of them jumped out of the doorway, a height of nine or teo feet. Six of the eight were hurt more or less. Kelly thinks that there were six or seven thousand lons of stuff in the warehouse altogether, including wheat in bulk, American flour in barrels, a large lot of peas, &c. If the accident had happened on the previous day, when the men were employed at the Moor-street end, all of them would have perished, except two who were at the Old Ropery end. The missing man, Peter Tracey, was trucking at the time, and was down the room No. 2 about two-thirds of its length from the Old Ropery frontage. H e is stated to be a respectable, industrious man—a widower, with three children. On Saturday afternoon one of his sons was seen about the ruins, crying for his father, and on Sunday his daughter was there, also in great distress. Amongst the injured were Owen M'Kenna, aged 26, who had his hip knocked out of joint; Thomas Cash, disfi gured in the face and arid hands; John Solaa, hurt with a nail in the shoulder, and also hurt in the back. One of them was sent to the Infirmary,. . . . Three of the rooms were pease, and the others with 4000 or 5000 barrels of flour A great number of men were employed on Saturday, Sun day, and yesterday, in carting off the grain, materials, &c., and as the weather has been dry the destruction of the produce will, probably, not be very treat, though, doubt less, considerable from admixture with the rubbish. It is still a matter of uncertainty whether there are not h wheat, one with parties under the ruins in Moor•street—casually passing at the time ; but the probability seems to be, that but one man has lost his life. There were several narrow escapes —especially of a servant girl at Mr. Dodd's public-house, nearly oppo-ite. who was shaking a carpet when the ava lanche took place—ardl two horses in a lorry who took fright at the crash, and got away. • It is suggested that there shduld be appointed an in- Spector of warehouses ' who shall determine what weight, particularly of grain, the several mercantile buildings are capable of sustaining, so that such accidents_may not At the request of the mayor, Mr. S.

A very perilous piece of wall left at the t.outh corner of the warehouse was also pulled down by them on Saturday afternoon. A great number of men continue to be em- ployed in extracting the flour, wheat, pease, &c., from the ruins, and the ends of the streets leading to the scene of destruction are still crowded with anxi9us enquirers. The ruins are yet upwards of 12 feet high in :Moor-i treet, although a large quantity of stuff has been taken away. the body of the supposed only man killed t ad not been found; and from the immense mass of materials, it may be some time before the remains are found.

EARLY CLOSING OF THE MARKETS TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, Sts,—lt is with great pleasure I have been informed that the Markets' Committee, having had the memorial for the earlier closing of the markets under their consi deration, have kindly passed a resolution recom mending to the Council that they should be closed at seven o'clock, the first five nights of the business week, and on Saturday evening at ten o'clock, thus dividing the difference between the wishes of the memorialists and the present time of closing, which it is hoped will be pleasing to the public. Too much praise cannot be given them for,the promptness they have evinced in doing away this great evil, which has been the cause of such a desecration of the Sabbath. _ _ .. _ It is understood, however, that a petition the last few days has been got up against the closing on Saturday nights, but I would strongly urge upon the members of the Council the necessity of protesting against it, and • support the resolution of the Markets' Committee, which -• will be the means of lessening the disorder in the neigh• ' B, bourbood of the markets, and will cause the shops to After 1 the pa two mo rent, which 1 re the door was found locked, and on mine from the interior, found the do We the tion until last Sunday week le of my tenants, M I 1 Sherringti st Sunday s thick large pol made.

On Mrs. E. ascending the plat form she was met by Thomas Walmsley, who pushed her back with a plate with so much violence, that had she not been supported by witness she would have fallen back on the flags. Thos. Walmsley and Worden pushed her with poles. Mr. E. then confirmed what took place furtber on the platform, as stated by Mr. Catterall. In cross-examination, Mr. Eastwood said that Mr. Heatley had given Mr. Smith £lOO to build the tribune, and that he did not know whether the benches on which he afterwards sat were penny benches or not. heard the priest give out two Sundays hi-fore that persons coming to the benches at early mass would pay one penny for the accommodation. The priests had got enough of his mo ney without paying pennies. A long discussion ensued betwixt the attorneys and the bench, as to whether the Catholic priest possessed the power of making a charge for sittings in his chapel, and of excluding from those sittings parties who refuse to pay. The whole question appeared to resolve itself into this point, Mr. Noble (defendant's solicitor) declaring that if the Triest had this power—which he maintained be had — then Mr. E tstwood himself was the aggre•sor in attempt ing to ►emove the obstructions to a gratuitous entrance which had been legally placed there, and he contended that in repulsing Mr. and Mrs. Eastwood the defendants had only acted in the discharge of their duty, and had commited no asault whatever. Mr. Catterall, (Mr. Eastwood'p solicitor) on the other hand, maintained that the priest had no such power, and that in violently pre venting Mr Eastwood's access to the chapel accommoda tion, they had, in fact, committed a breach of ti declared that until this leg uestion case, and would refer it to the next sessions, in the mean time binding over the defendants to keep the peace.

The quarterly returns are obtained from 115 districts, sub-divided into 576 sub-districts. Thirty-four districts are placed under the metropolis; and the remaining Si districts comprise, with some agricultural nistric principal towns and cities of England. The population was 6,579,693 in 1811. _ in the last quarter of 1845 was much lower than is uy,ual. for only 39,178 dent oortali were reeis- tered, which is lest by 14,740 than the number (43.918) regis , ered in the corresponding quarter of 1814, and and 2,857 less than the average quarter of seven previous years, notwithstanding the increase of the poi ulation at the rate of ab0ut,1.74 per cent annually. There had beeii a great decreas December quarter of 1844 giving the numb& r of deaths at 43.918, whilst last quarter there was only 39,178 deaths. The mildness of the season was one cause of di minished mortally. This is illustrated by the table of the deaths, exclusive of those by violence, registered in the metropolis, and the mean temperature at Greenwich of the last six weeks of 1844 and 1845. • The deaths and the temperature were the same at first; on the fifth week the deaths were 1,343 in 1844, and only 933 in 1845 ; the temperature in the previous week (the fourth) had fallen to 28 deg. 2 min. in 1844, and only to 39 deg. 2 mio. in 1845. A fall of the mean temperature of the air from 45 deg. to 4 deg. or 5 deg. below the freezing point (32 deg.) of water destroys from 306 to 500 lives in the metropolis. It produces the same results on a larger scale all over the country. Nor is it o be wonderei at that a grsat change of the heat of the air which we breathe and live in should have such an effect. _ _ The deaths returned by the registrars for each year are thus given :—Deaths registered in 115 districts in the year 1838, 162,867; 1839, 162,605; 1840, 171,694; 1841,160,733; 1842, 161,948; 1843, 163,201; 1844,167,708; 1845, 166,789. In the first three years• there were 497,166 deaths; in the last three years, 496,698. The population increased in the districts from which returns have been rrocured, about 1 74 (nearly 1) per cent. annually, in the intervals of the last censuses, and the excess of births over deaths has continued, so that it may be sa'ely assumed that the about 9 per cent in - the five years, from the middle of 1839-40 to the middle of 1843-b.

INSTITIITION.—The second course of lectures at this Institution for the present season com- ....;ed on Friday. The subject is electition, including remarks and examples illustrative of oratory, poetry, and the drama ; and the lecturer is B. H. Smart, Esq., of '-^ author of "Walker Remodelled," " Shaks " Practice of Elocution," &c. we say sufficient to assure our readers that the course will be in the highest degree interesting and i lie I instructive. Those w'— F-'rlay even; perian Reading saying thi 40 were present on nor any additional inducement to hear the remainder of - the course. The opening lecture was chiefly occupied with an explanation of the nature and uses of elocution, with illustrations, serious and comic, of the vivious st les of reading. E o:ution, the lecturer observed, when properly understood and taught, was in reality an important part of education. It was not the art of acting, or even of public speaking exclusively : it was not the art of reading with a pomp-us and theatrical manner. It was calculated to make all the other parts of education produce their proper effect on the mind. He fhcn explained the nature of language, showing that articu lation and modulation were necessary to its pt rfection ; and - " Le ed no such assuran divided the modes of reading into the mechanical, the sig nificant; and the impwioned, these being all separate and. distinct from acting. Mechanical reading was what a chili was first taught, and was similar to the style in which a person would read a pagsage, who had the same passage open before him, a simple enunciation of the words without any view to effect.' In significant reading the object of the reader was to convey the sense of the words, not to ex press a meaning of his own, but merely to tell what the author said. This was reading strictly so called, and re quired modulation of voice to do it properly. The full expression of a passage must, however, rise beyond this. The reader must adopt the sentiments of the author i he must make them his own for the time , and deliver th6n with all the warmth and.earnestness they might happen to require. To act a passage the reader must take 'up another person's manner ; he must suppose himself to be the per- Son into whose mouth the lines are put. In illustration of these distinctions the lecturer -cited the well-known passage from Hamlet, containing Polonius% advice to his son. His different modes of reciting it afforded an ad miruble•exemplification of his remarks; and, in finally delivery, es of the icry took thni- )1? - oY e " I ,jr. 1. ,inf hio t e% - 10 , of
