N J 7, .M.NIIMIK *4... rouit-r to-absolve,. SluMber? . We trove not. :13ut even were it in a lethargic torpor, it would arouse to absolve Doctor MURRAY. in.this case, if it were possible for him to prove absence of connexion between Dommus DENS 4nd-the - Irish priests in •the garb of Rome. Aye, they 'ould riot hesitate to canonize one who should thus save .I.!is holiness's dominions in Ireland from the execrable imputation of thislasting' ignominy. We for our own part rejoice in a denial which shows that the priests them selves are ashamed of their own book. Theirs it is to all 'intents 'and purposes. Who but the hedge-priests of 'lreland have• bought up this reprint? Dr. MURRAY himself has written supplementary matter! It will not do to tell us they only recognize a part of this work. They ought. truly to have had such parts printed as they, did recognize. The talk about their dislike of it is all "vapour and. nonsense. It will delude none. We shall at some future time, .perhaps, recur again to this subject. It will be sufficient for our present purpose to assure our veaders, that all the worst and most debasing features of lidpery stand forth in bold relief in this vile work of .. DcestlNus DENS. It is the private manual of the Irish • priests, It contains the patent by which they legalize murder and practise abduction. • When, then, will the friends of protestantism arouse ? When will. they recover the full use and vigour of their .now stupified senses? - Arouse! Protestants of England, arouse yourselves! . The battle of truth against error has again , to be fought. On you mainly it depends with whom shall he the. victory. But protestants of Scotland, and protestants of Ireland, will you stand by as6ncon cerned gazers in this conflict? Assuredly you are not se base! Electors of the united kingdom, you may, ere twiny suns have set, be called upon to decide once and :for ever the fate of the MONARCHY, THE CHURCH, AND THE ••CONSIITUTION. Be prepared! The fiend-like .emissaries orpopery are at work to counteract every holy purpose. Array•yourselves 7 under the banners of PROTESTANTISM, and - slivlLb.fte .niuldegsadiag popery. Do not let :Your descendants have it in their power. to say .that it was in your hands, and by your instrumentality, that the bright gem of truth was Jost; and the tawdry tinsel of flimsy. error substituted in its place. You have received a pure faith from your ancestors. Hand. it down to your sons and daughter~ in its unsullied state, and. let your dying benediction them be couched in terms of unmitigated abhorrence of popery. Recolledthat LUTHER, during a riressing and. sore ill ness, made his will; bequeathing his detestation of popery 10 his friends and pastors; and we would have . you bear in mind the emphatic valediction of Dr. HOLLAND, {then Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Oxford,) to the fellows of big college..

As we may not have an opportunity, on Monday next of paying our respects to the Right Honourable Lord BsonaliAM and VAUX, we avail ourselves of the passing hOui to address to his lordship a few brief words of courtesy 'and devoir. • We perceive by the newspapers that the noble and learned lOrd is to be' entreated to a splendid entertain. meat provided for him by his admirers in the•Amphi theatre.

Some specolatiOn is already afloat as to the important --topics to which his address will be confined. -There is, believe, not' a little anxiety on the subject, and it is but right that his lordship should learn the fact from us who are totally unconcerned .parties, and who would not on any conditions obtrude ourselves upon the noble lord's :• Some of the more crafty of Lord 13Rol;GuA3i's pro= fes;ed friends are 'exceedi'ngly - anxious that he should confine himself on 'the present occasion to subjects es. , •• • • , sentiallyconnected -.vith education.

The majority of his lordship's admirers, - unconnected with the cabal, en tertain very different sentiments. They look upon him as an injured man, shamefully neglected by his own parey, whose spl en did talents halie • been cast into the shade, and whose merits as a statesman and philanthropist have been sacrificed to Lord MELBOURNE'S disingenuousness and Lord JonN.RUssELL'S paltry ambition. These gentle men feel indignant at the treatment Lord BROUOHAiki has experienced at the.bands of a party of which he was the brightest ornament: of which he was the leading ch . anl P i " in every doubtful contest, and for • whom he wrote and span for more than, twenty of the best years of 11h4'life. 'They ciintend that now is the time for Lord BROUGRAM to declare his wrongs, and give his worst of fears his worst of Wmds. This they say is the only op portunity which hi s lordship has had since he, ,was so cruelly and ignominiously exp'elled froM (Are by : Lord MELBOURNE. The' meeting he attended in London, when O'CONNELI. WAS present, they say, was not digni fied'eciougli in its character to induce Lord BRoUGIIAM to enter upon hiadefente.

I astonre rou-I sever was placed in a situation where the Lively gratideurof- the ipt bols of liberty which adorn this extensive. building; and the sounds of freedom which• echo within its walls, were more in character with the noble hearts which beat under them than on the present Occasion. Gentlemen, disabusing mortal vanity and its inherent weakness, I say for myself that I . never:was tnore at home. I never saw so many kind faces—so many happy demonstrations of sincere friendship—so many ardent patriots— not ardent spirits—but real patriots, to use the language of one of my native poets : " With hearts resolved, and hands prepared, The blessings they enjoy to guard." (Immense cheering.) " Gentlemen—l was invited to this vast emporium of com merce to take a part in laying the foundation stone of a most interesting institution. I came gladly; I sought your presence with pleasure; I knew we should hear in our beneficent endea vours the welcome of the skies, receive the plaudits of the liv ing multitude, and have our pathway to the grave strewed with the flowers of delighted though unborn generations. Gladly, joyously, gentlemen, did I come from the, to me, now sad clois ters of Berkeley-square, and the House of Lords, to breathe the tre . sh air of your western shores, to respire even the attenuated ringlets of liberty wafted in the pine packets from New York, and to cpngratplate you, as I now do, upon your erection - of a building the glories of which cannot now be appreciated, inas much as they fall to the share of poets "yet unborn," who, in the maintop or in the cellar, in the palace or in the pothouse, in the hall of liberty or in Australia, shall sing in immortal verse the delights of that classic spot situate in Mount-street, and far removed from the plebeian parts of the town, where they courted the muses, measured the earth, plumbed the depths of the sea; saiv the spots in the Sun, and surveyed the mountains, perhapS counted the castles in the moon. Delightful to me are these, call them, if you please, dreams. I have ever been the friend of education. I ask nothing more to be written on my tomb- . stone than HENRY BROUGHAM', The Friend of Education.' (Great cheering) " Gentlemen, it is said that we who encourage education lay little regard to what is called religious instruction. The iMptf , teal:in here insinuated is bigotry. What have we to do with 'creeAs'? Is not Mr. Daniel O'Connell favourable twirisrplan?' In these enlightened times popery itself confesses the merits of aducatOn. We do not contend for principles. We inculcate ideas without principles. We , teach poor people to read ; it is for thein to understand` what they read. We give the inedi cine---if they abuse it, let them suffer; but we do not wish them to suffer. We give it for good; :f ill effects arise, that is their concern, not ours.- .(Cheers.) " Gentlemen, education has its limits. I say this in confi dence, but I say it in sincerity. Take care whom you educate, but take especial care whom you trust with education. I speak from experience —I ,speak prophetically," but not without the lights which guide to conviction, when I say—that unitarian ism, inasmuch as it has concerned itself with proselytism, has been fail - te.• (Murmurs.) It is to a certain extent founded on- truth, hut it is false when estimated by its fruits. It is good philosophy .for t the few,' it is infidelity for the many. I have drank my fill ot'it—l have imbibed the maxims of a faithful Shepherd—l hive caressed it like a young bridegroOm ; but in my old age I are: bound to confess that it has no hold on the heart, no resting place in my affections, no asylum in the monitory cells of the conscience. (Hisses from the Soeinians.) Gentlemen, I will not impose my tediousness longer upon you in reference to education. You have planted a noble tree, I give it my blessing, I pray that it may be well watered, and that its fruiti may be sweet and not bitter. (Applause.) And now, • gentlemetm, permit ine to call your attention fora acintiHation of time to - the extraordinary events which mark the days in which our lot is cast. I have no reflections to cast on men and measures. I am not one of those who delight in looking back, to heap censure oa the foolish, or praiseon the wise and fortu nate. lam not now in the service of ,my most gracious sove • reign. (Cheers.) I know how kindly, how warmly, the good heart of that illustrious prince beats towards the humble intivi dual who stands before you, (cheers) and yet 1 am net in his council, I sin not of the niinistry—why, it boots not to tell, and yet these hands are clean ! (His lordship held up his hands amid loud cheers.) Gentlemen, dear to this heart has been the cause of reform, dear the intellectual a d vancemen t o f th e age , dear the right's of man all over the world; and I have lived to see great works completed, solid foundations laid, and noble superstructotes raised: but, alas, I am no true seer, if these are quite safe in the hands of those who arc at present entrusted with theircare. I -say nothing against the existing administra tion; 1-am not a, member of it as yon all well know ;. but this I cannot help saying, that the house built upon sand, - like a con tract tainted with injustice, must one day or other, when the floods come, and when the light is allowed to shine, fall to piec6. I blame no man ; I love my party and reform better than fdo myself '; but I utterly hate and detest double deal ing. • - Why should the Ministry, of which I was au unworthy member; have made so mysterious a shipwreck? Some blame the 'Craft Oran illustrloue nobleman and the tories. (Immense cheering.) Gentlemen; I heg - not to be 'inisunderstorid. I ani •'tiot one of those who blanie the . tories. I am too deeply in the secret to be imposed upon by such shallow and invidious fallacies, fit only fur Milksops. No, no, before we "cast stones -at our open enemies let us first see Whether our * own hotie. is set in order—whether, all is clean within;-.whether there be any one mean, small, ambitious rep tile aim eau, like . the first tempter, betray the confidence of unsuspecting virtue, and whisper away the reputation of others for hii Cava base and sinister ends. (Looks of astonishment and iritcnie silenee.) Gentlemen, dQ nut deceive yourselves : I seek not place;' I seek not to displace ; but believe me there is somewhere 'to my knowledge a rottenness which passeth show, which feeds upon itself, and which, vain thing! strives to exist upon' its ' own destruction.' 'I name no names; I envy rto man's fame;. - but I Say to you, in terms as emphatic as language can supply, the ilreseht ministry cannot stand. (Tremendous sensa tion.) 'Gentlemen, did you ever see a tree flourish or live which had no roots in the earth ? This administration is like that tree: it isrrootless, sapless, black, withering, and is doomed. True, it' has branches wide, large, and long —numerous suckers —crowds of horticultural lackeys pouring something on it out of small watering-pots; but believe me these fellows drink more than" they pout, they-eat niore- of the' greenness than they can produce, and require more fruit than they can raise. (A laugh.) It Is, I assure you; no laughing matter to them. (A loud . laugh - .) Well, be it so; take my words at what value you please; support the administration with might and main ; hie you to the 'register and record your votes; but let me tell you, 'you can as easily arrest the descent of the glorious orb of day in yon western wave, 'us you can prevent the fall of the Russell administration. (Silence and a few groans.) Gentlemen, I have nearly exhausted your patience and my strength. All that I haYe to add is, no inducement on earth will tempt me to join the'adininistration *of Sir Robert Peel. I have lived to see the' Whig party, to which I have ever been attached, perish by its'own hands: I have seen the House of Commons cease to bd intellectual arid hardly respectable—l have seen a cabinet Without a Lord Chancellor—l have seen, a Chancellor of the Exchequer Without a budget-4 hive seen a court unadorned by a single Minister of the crown—l have heard of one of his majesty's "principal secretaries of "state sent to sleep in the top : loft of a palace—l have seen and heard all thii, and 'm'ore than all this, and I say with burning sorrow the present ministry must fall, as the leaves do, IN OCTOBER!

We learn that his Majesty has had, within these few past days, additional reasons to be disgusted with the mi nisters„..whose evident intentions to prostrate even the throne at the foot of democracy have excited not less anger than alarm. The King is said to have expressed strongly his opinion of the amiable wish shown by Mel bourne .and Co. to swamp the peers, and to have very plainly demonstrated his immovable hostility to such a monstrous measure. In short; everything tends to show that the public dupes of Mr. a O'Connell are on the eve of bidding a "long farewell ta'all their greatness." (?) It hail been generally current here during the last few .days that the government forthwith intended receiving tenders for a 31. per cent. loan, to meet the West . India compensation claims. This expected drain upon the mo• ney mailket has caused great heaviness in our funds ;'but .themarket has rallied to-day in consequence of its being asserted. that the ministers have been advised toput off this measure until either the turn of the year, or at least for two or three. months, with a taew, should the adjustment, 4lttnatt'ers in the peninula be effected, of obtaining more favourable terms t ha n could be obtained..at the present moment. • consequence Ibis-the market tallied corisii clertribir; the price for money ex dividend being 904-, and forthe account 91-1-; the closing price, however, of the tatter was 91 'Li 'Money is far from abundant here, and our floating se curities are, in consequence, lilt.

THE LIVERPOOL StANDARD. EXANUNATION. OF THE RIOTERS.—.-TcEsDAY. • The following prisoners were Paced at the trar of the Publi office, before his WOrship . the Mayor and Alderman. Sir, Thos. Brancker, ch aged by the. officers of the nightly watch, the day-police, and others, with having been leaders and actors in the riots which took place on'Shuday and Monday last, viz.:— Patrick Heaney, John Fitzpatricic Joseph M'Allister, Wil liam M`Loughlin, John Burns, Joseph Donnelly, Win. Hutch ) instill, Morris Quirk, Patric Fitzpatrick, - -Cohn M'ltityre, •Patriek M'Shea, Thomas Curran, Peter Kelly, Michael Fla t hertv, .M. Burns,.

John Heaney, John Regan, James Bowman, Michael Roo ney, William Hunt, Patrick Pentony, John Callaghan, and Timothy Carland. • Of these the first forty-three were, in the course of the evi dence,. distinctly identified; but the cencludingeight individu els could not be sworn to,—though they had all been taken from the mob, and placed in custody for acts of violence corn mined in defiance ot, or directly against the persons. of the con servators of the peace. The first case brought forward was a charge, by a respectable working man, against a very rough-looking individual, who had rushed upon him in Titheharti-street, as he was going to his work en Monday mulling. The prisoner, seeing that the head kerchief on complainant's - neck was of a yellow tinge, rushed at him, and ordered that lie should immediately. take -it off. Complainant expressed some surprise at this, when the prisoner fell upon him, took his breakfast-can from him, and tore his handkerchief from his neck. One of the officers of the fire-po-. lice, who happened to be passing, took the prisoner into cus tody. He was remanded. Mr. Parlour took occasion to eulo gise the conduct of the officers of the fire-police, whose efforts, he said, during the late disturbance,' had been most praisewor thy. The whole of the prisoners were then successively . placed in the dock, in parties of six at a time ; and as the examination which followed was! necessarily very desultory, and involved much of what we have stated in the preceding account., we shall merely touch upon its -material points. Mr. Rammage, the keeper of the Vauxhall-road lock-up, having been called, reca pitulated his statement of Monday, to the •effect that he had seen a body of two hundred 'persons • parading: opposite •the Bridewell on Sundays that the watchmen had been assaulted and had taken refuge in the'Bridewell, front the furious conduct of the mob, up to the time When he deemed it necessary to ring the fire alarum bell. Baylis and several watchmen spole as to the. commencement of the dkturbance on Sunday night. It seems that a considerable mob had assembledin liorth7Street., Which extended into Dale-street af%one end, and into Great Crosshall-street at the other. The officers of the nightly watch, in accordance with their duty, endeavoured to put it down. They Made prisoners of one or two refractory persons, the eon sequeue of which was, that the whole mob instantly assailed them, acid drove them into Vauxhall road lurk-up, as before stated. Watchman No. 100, identified the prisoner M'lntyer, who rescued a man from him. - Mr. Davenport, attorney, intimated that he appeared on be half of Fitzpatrick, Henney, and Quirk. Mr. Whitts pointed out Heaney as a man who, when he had dispersed and was pur suingthe mob down North-street, had skihked into an entry ; as Mr. Whiny came up•he dropped a huge paving-stone from his hand. It must be stated, that missiles of this ilewription were made use of in great abundance by the rioters,. On the production of another knot of prisoners, Mr. Whiny gave a succiut account of the state of affairs, on his first arrival at Vauxhall-road, and his encounter with the rioters in the Bride. well yard. He stated that when the mob there assembled set upon him, two,young men had placed themselves between him and his assailants, and had done their utmost to preserve him from injury. M'Allister and (we believe) Densely were the ringleaders in this part of the affray. They were subsequently taken into custody by sonic of the fire-police. Mr. NiThitty stated that after he had dispersed the mob he heard tltht some of them had taken refuge at M`Nolty's public-house, in Vauxhall read. He immediately proceeded thither, and, as he approach ed; he heard a rush within the house. As he entered, the pri soner Fitzpatrick dropped something, -which he immediately took up. - It proved to be a bent poker, which was produced in. court. Mr. Davenport here questioned Mr. Whitty very - hrieflv upon hil i d4bl i ges against both Heaney and• Fitzpatrick, hilt the abswers he - received were so conclusive that he did not persevere. M'Laughlin was identified as the individual from whom a load ed pistol with a quantity of gunpower and leaden slugs were taken. Amongst - The charge a number of shoemaker's sprigs were taken. livley, the constable, identified Burns and Den ncihoe as two individuals who had threatened to break into the prisons unless their companions were released. Samuel Lloyd produced a sharp instrument -which had been taken from the person of the prisoner Edward 'Tarr. This weapon had been mannfactured•froM a butcher's steel. It was ground sharp, and had atop like that of a gimlet clumsily fitted to it by way of a handle. A prisoner, named Finuingham, and a great number of other individuals, were identified us having excited and led the mob, and threatened the officers of police, and declared that • their incarcerated companions should be let at liberty by force. Seneral dangerous weapons were produced which had been taken from the persons of some of the prisoners. One formida ble weapon was a short club, made of a thick ash plant, to one end of which was attached a heavy knob - of iron; bludgeons and sticks were in abundance. A thick pole was produced which had been stolen by one of the prisoners from a shop. He hail immediately broken it in two, and given the one-half to a coin ' panion. Several individuals also who had been taken into cus tody, and against whOm sufficient grounds did .not appear, were discharged. All those whose names we have given above were remanded. WIiDNESDAY. William Heaney, John Kegan, James Bowman, Michael 'Rooney, William Hunt, Patrick Pentonv, John.Callagan, and Timothy Carland were placed at the liar. These: were the eight individuals who, having been taken in the -confusion of one of the - great tumults, could not be easily identified by the watchmen or police officers. When the priiiimers were ranged in the dock, Saul, of the fire police, stepped for - Ward; and point ing to Heaney and Pentony, said that he had seen them both in the mob on Sunday night, at Vauxhall-road, cheeriog and ta , tharriotere, and instigating-them to veserie the pri- • sonars whom the watchmen had taken. This evidence seas deeMed sufficiently conclusive, and the two prisoners were in stantly removed from the dock. All the watchmen present --were then called down, and mustered at each wing of the dock. They were commanded to look attentively at the prisoners, and endeavour to identify them, and - state the circumstances under which they were taken into custody. Several of them spoke to having made prisoners on the Sunday night, but they could not, with any degree of certainty, fix upon the prisoners at the bar. Mr. Bacheldor, the governor of the Bridewell, said that the pri soners had used every effort to disguise themselves since they had been placed - in custody. All of them had changed their apparel more or less, and one of them had put on fresh clothing no less than three times. A gentleman, who had been violently assaulted, had been in Bridewell, but had failed to identify his assailants in consequence of-this change of dress. John Hea ney and Timothy Carland were examined, and as nothing ap peared against them which could warrant their further deteu lion, they were discharged. The remaining four were then re manded for further examination. - 'Edward M'Grath and Charles O'Neil were placed at the bar, charged by a person named Douglas, with haying destroyed certain of his property during. the lat e di s tu r bance. Coin plainant stated that his residence was in Blundell-street, where he keeps a hairdresser's shop. On Monday morning last, the two prisoners went to his premises, with a mob of between two and three hundred persons, and seeing his wife on tire steps, commanded her to send out her husband that they might mur der him. They then pulled down his sign, and demolished it. Not content with this, they broke in the shop window, and taking out the articles displayed for sale, they scattered them about the street, and trampled them under their feet. As their fury increased, they took missiles from the pavement and broke all the front windows of the house. On the following day they again returned, and threatened to break open the complainant's house, and murder him:and his wife. Mary Douglas, the com plainant's wife, corroborated his statement. The complainant said that he had other witnesses, but they were fearful of giving their testimony, because of the violent character and threats of the prisoners' associates. The prisoners denied having taken any part whatever in the riots, and . prodiiced witnesses who swore that they were not in Blundell-street at thelirne specified. This evidence, however, was of such a conflicting character that it had no weight with the court. The prisoners were ordered to find bail to answer the charge at the sessions. THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. On Tuesday night the illuminations and fireworks exhibited on the previous evening were repeated to an assemblage of not 'less • than from bur to five thousand persons, who appeared highly delighted with the entertainments prov;dea for them. The fireworks were all god, and many of them were exceedingly •beautiful: The illuminations would have produced a much more striking effect if they could have been completed before, instead of after the admission of company. The great charm of Vauxhall Gardens arises from the first view obtainettot _that atmOst fairy land when the visitor emerges from the .CoMpara., 'lively dark avenue leading from the principal en t caned, because there . no lamplighters remain to destroy the illusion that the lamps ever require trimming or lighting, or that they are nOt always burning and producing the same brilliant rays of light. On the mount near the hears' pole was fixed a balloon and a car a ttached to it, formed of variegated lamps, and over the entrance to the menagerie, opposite to the orchestra, was seen a very handsOme Prince of Wales's plume, in yellow lamps : these and the lights in front of the rustic bridge were the most st r iating , and, indeed, the best part of the illuminations. Rather late in the evening two transparencies were also illu minated. The first was exhibited at the entrance to the mena gerie,a vn‘adus very spiritedplumenerthe view of wehave already not i ce d: . Thi s painting the. Cheshire shore, from Birkenhead to the Rock Lighthouse; embracing all the promi nent objects betweet. those points, which appeared to have been taken from the . Graving Docks or King's Parade. The second appeared on one of the adjacent buildings—:its subj ect was the entrance and an interior view of the Thames tunnel: The perspective of this painting was very good, and produced the best appearance of reality we have seen fur a long tid e . It i s , however, much to be regretted that these .pictures were not illuminated at an earlier hour, as a great number of.the visitors, in ignorance that they were to he seen, left the gardens without peeing them. The manager of these gardens, we understand, contempla tee giving another fete in the course of a few weeks. We would suggest to him whether he could not improve his entertainment very considerably by adding to it a concert of vocal and instru mental music, raising the price of admission, and by :having the gardens prepared for the reception of company before the gates are opened. THE LIVER TH EATRE.-SIGNOR BLITZ. Signor Blitz commenced a series of perffirmaeces at the Li ver Theatre on Monday evening, and, from the extr ao rdin ar y and wonderful dexterity which he displays in his t r i c k s, coup l e d with the outri appearance of the man, the spectator is half tempted to believe it, the possibility of his being really and truly a magician. It would be difficult to describe his sleight of hand conjurations with cards, cups, money, and boxes, into and from which, things are conveyed with surprising rapidity; —these to be properly appreciated must be seen. •liitt ventri loquial powers are-very. good, and aided by his fund of comic humour, keeps his audience in a roar of laughter. "The Gun Trick" excited the greatest degree of curiosity and' surprise. Two gentlemen walked on to the stage, and, after marking three .bullets, loaded a musket with.them and the usual charge of gun powder. One of them discharged the piece across the stage at the Signor's hand, which he extended flat against the Wall oil the opposite side. The balls so fired he appeared to Catch •in his hand. Signor Blitz, announces in, his bills that he will al low any gentleman to bring his fowling piece, balls and powder, and tire it at. any part of his body that may be named. What would.not John Arthur Roebuck, Esq., M.P. for Bath, ;jive to be put in possesaion;of Signor Blitz's secret,. : Voilits.vorawafftwa ra timmt BIRKENHEAD. On Saturday last, according to the announcement, theuevrly... erected market at Birkenhead was opened, and openedlinder the. happiest auspices. The day was tine; a numerous con - - • COurse of visitors was attracted to the spot; and die substantial as well as delicate profusion with which the stalle were supplied spoke well for the gastronomic capacities of the good people of Birkenhead. The bells rang, the top of the market was - decora-.. ted with flags and banners, and all was gaiety and buittle. The supply of fish, particularly salmon, was exceedingly good and plentiful, and, with the rest o f the provisions, speedily. found a market; proving, beyond all question, that our worthy neigh,- . hours, notwithstanding such unequivocal manifestations of con sumption, are exceedingly vigorous and th r iving, and that the wants of the population have by no means been over-rated iu the erection'or this capacious and elegant means of supplying them. A. brief description of the market itself may not be unin teresting to our readers. The front of the building is in Hamilton-'street, leading from the tquare, and commences at the corner of market-street, ex tending in Hamilton-street 185 feet 6 inches, by a depth in Mar ket-street of 135 feet 10 inches. The front of this building is of stone, from Storton-hill quarries. and represents to the eye neat and chaste elevatio n , i n th e G rec i an sty l e, ftoin the designs of Mr. Rampling, architect, of Liverpool. It comprehends an entrance-gate into the market, and 2 wings; the one to the left, extending 74 feet, contains an office for the magistrates' clerk, the commissioners' clerk. and the overseers, behind which and communicating with them is a spacious room of 72 feet by 24 feet, divided by two screens of columns. The room is lighted by., three handsome cast-iron dome lights, and the whole is well ar ranged with an entrance-hall and other requisites. The entrance to the other wings is from the parapet in Hamilton-street, through a lodge, which is intended for the deputy constable, and this wing altogether comprises two day-rooms, and six cells for delinquents, with a spacious con rt-yard, and a convenient house for the constable, The area of the - market, including the walls, is 185 feet 6 by 90 feet 2 inches, and comprehends twenty-five shops for butchers, meat, poultry, and other things usually sold in markets, with benches and standings for eggs, butter, &c., and on the'north side is another entrance from Market-street; the ave nue round the shops is four yards, and roofed in, supported by cast-iron columns, forming a colonnade; consequently the open area, which produces an agreeable effect, is very capacious. Mr. Walter Walker was the contractor with the comnossioners for this erection, and the' whole has been well and substantially built by Messrs. W. and J. Walker, from the design of Mr. Rampling, arehitd, et a cost of less than £.1,(X)0. The lord of the manor, F. R. Price, Esq. of Bryn-y-Pyse, has liberally contributed to this ereCtinn,, in, presenting the township with a statute acre of land,'an4.he also paid a moiety of the expense iu obtaining the act: of par Ran= t. Y ESTIiRDA 1r The whole of the prisoners who 'had been identified were again produced before the Mayor and Sir Thomas Brancker. The depositions of the several witnesses were read over by Mr. Ellis,.tind the prisoners were severally asked what they had to say in defence of their conduct. The substance of the excuses made by the whole of the prisoners, was to the effect that acci dent and not design had led them into the crowd. EVery man of them. denied having taken any active part in the proceed ings. Laughlin, the Individual from whom the pistol, gun powder, and slugs were taken, said that he had been in the habit of carrying the weapon in his breast for six months. past, as lie went in.fear of his ljfe from some enemies of his. : Must of those who had sticks taken from them. stated that they had —to use their own phraseology—" met with them" by the merest. accident in the world. Marr, from whom a ver*.dan genius sharp weapon was taken by police officer - Swill. Lloyd, denied having ever been possessed of implement. The .magistrates having heard all their defences with great patience, ordered that they should find hail for their appearance at the sessions, each of themselves in £5O, and two sureties - of £25 eacli• Immediately when these' were. put down, the five pri soners who remained unidentified were placed in the dock. These were Peter M‘Sheu, Sitinuel Lea. Hunt, John Callagan, and Timothy Carlaud, all of whom had been taken on the night of Sunday; but from the confusion' WhiCh then reigned, - they could not be 'identified. These were severalty reprimanded by Aldelinan Sir Thomas Brancker, and dia charged. CORONER'S INQUEST. On Wednesday an inquest was held before Mr. Alderman Wright, one of the coroners of this borough, on the' body oj Luke O'Beirne, labourer. . James Loxton, joiner, devised that on Monday, the 13th lust., between twelve and one o'clock he was in Church-street, opposite the church. There was a crowd of fifteen or twenty persons on the same side of the street, in the carriage way. The deceased was standing in the middle of the road. A car riage drawn by one horse passed him, and the driver struck - at him with the whip. After -this the deceased stepped back to the crowd. At that moment Dr. O'Donnell's carriage, drawn by two horses, came up. The deceased .turned round, and put his hit ;ads towards the horses' heads, and was knocked down by the i. , lr-side horse, and the off fore and hind wheels went over him about the middle of his body. The deceased was imme diately taken into a druggist's 'shop iu Church-street, where means were used to restore him, and he was subsequently taken to the Infirmary; but he was dead before be left the shop. The deceased was intoxicated. The carriage was going quick, and a good deal of excitement prevailed in the street at the time. Thomas Jackson, publican, 11arford-street, corroborated the statement of the last witness, stating it to be his opinion that the carriage was going much too quick, considering the num.; ber of persons in the street. The witness also stated that Dr. O'Donnell's coachman called out when he was about ten or twelve yards from the deceased, and that Dr. O'Donnell, after the accident, - (as witness thought,) directed his man to stop, and got out and went towards the deceased. Thomas Garstun, blacLainith, also coincided with the other witnesses, except that be gave it as his opinion that the car riage was only going at an ordinary rate. The identity of the deceased was proved by Elizabeth t'ardy. with whom he lodged in Atherton-street. Ile was a French polisher, and had a wife living in Bristol. Mr. Long, hotise surgeon of the Infirmary, proved the in juries received to he the cause of the deceased's death. The jury, at this period of the inquiry, appeared perfectly satisfied, and after a hot consultation returned a verdict of Accidental Death, laying a tteodand 0f 40s. on the carriage. It is reported in the 'military circles that a small promotion is expected to take place immediateV. sad a 14/elation respect ing the rook of the two tityrices. AINTREE RACES. These interesting races, which, with the sporting world, travel now become as popular as any in tle kingdom, commenced on I Tuesday last, the Hue. E. M. LI. Mostyn and F. R. Price, Esqrs., stewards. The day proved exceedingly fine, but the attendance was rather thin, compared with the first day on previous races at this course : this was probably owing to the sport provided not being particularly good. The course, from the rain which fell on the previous days, was in excellent order, and the sportsmen anticipated a fine week's enjoyment. The regulations of the county magistrates prohibited every species of gambling, and no tables were to be seen on the ground, Amongst the noblemen and gentlemen on the Grand Stand we noticed the Marquis of Worcester, Lord Stanley, Lord Moly , neux, Sir Thomas M asse y -St an l e y, B ar t. , t h e - Hon.

This (lay the course presented a most animated appearance in consequence of the great number of visitors who attended. The cup race, on which so touch moueylids been speculated in various parts of the country, was of course the principal f ea t ure on the day's sport. General Chasse maintained his position as first favourite to the last, and considerable sums of money were laid out upon him by his owner, Sir James Boswell, although the bettina•Men generally fancied the field. The Grand Stand was crowded to excess, the lower part with fashionably attired females.

Immediately after the Sefton Stakes bad been run for the race was again contested, and the betting became even. The horses kept together near the whole distance, making another beautiful race.

CONSRRVATtSM IN TUE BonouGH OF MARY i.FnoNn.—The conservatives in this borough have every prospect of resuming that' weight in the election of.. parliamentary representatives which their wealth and intelligence should at all times entitle them to. In their very successful efforts. in registering the voters they have somewhat disturbed the tranquillity of the radical party, who openly profess the practice of illegal exer tions to defeat them. In fact, at the Marylebone vestry on Saturday last, Mr. Kensett, one of its members, in speaking upon the recent refusal of that body to allow the conservatives to take copies of their rate books ; plainly slated that he thought it a duty incumbent upon the vestry to act even contrary to taw in order to defeat their opponents. The right of the rate payers to make extracts from the rate books appears to have become a secondary consideration. Lord liadstock very properly lec tured the vestry upon the understood perinissiou which has been given to the radical party to copy the rate books. The conservative association in this borough already consists of up wards of fourteen hundred members, who propose giving a grand festival on Ft iday next, or early in the ensuing week.— Molting Post.

PETITION OF THE BARONETS.—Within a short period after the foundation of the baronetage troubles and convUlsirms arose in the state, one of the consequences of which was to divest the ordet of many privileges that previously appertained to it. Theses have remained in abeyance since the restoration. The present reign having appeared to a large proportion of the baronetage a fit opportunity to endeavour to restore their order to the dig nity. and excellence of its original foundation, two petitions, at.• companied by several explanatory documents, were presented to his Majesty yesterday at the levee, with a view to the attain. .meat of these itnportlni objects. His Majesty, on receivin g th e documents, addressed th e deputation, in the presence of the full court, at considerable length, and in such terms as could not fail to afford them the highest gratification. The first petition presented solicits the revival of various privileges of the order,. which, since the peri o d above-tnentioned, have been permitted to remain dormant. .The special obje c t o f t h e secon d pet i t i on is to - procure for. members of the order the privilege of wearing the Lister badge upon t h e person.

The order of baronets was founded by James I. with a view to promote the colonization of Ulster, and his Majesty assigned to it as a badge the arms of that province, —viz. a bl oo d y h and on a white field.

Here they were met by the chief dignitaries of the church resident in the town, and by the clergy :tnd heads of houses. After partaking of a cold collation, the whole party pro ceeded to the printing room, where a Very interesting ceremony was gone through.

In some places the crop is uncomutonly heavy, but in others it has proved so un equal and thin, chiefly from the failure of the clover, that evea on the carte lands, it will prove no more than UU average clop. On the muillands, although much improved beyond what was at one time anticipated, tne crop is on the whole light and thin, and must prove deficient.
