HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

EARLY on Sunday, a mother and her three children were
murdered by the husband and father. William Bousfield
about 34 years old, resided at 4, Portland-street, Wardour
street, Oxford-street, London, where he kept a small cigar and
newspaper shop. He was a carpenter ; but, having a turn
for the stage, he neglected everything in order to gratify his
desires in that respect, and has recently attended the
Princess's Theatre, where he was employed as a supernume-
rary at is. per night. He had been married several years,
and his wife had borne him three children. Being an only
daughter, she was much beloved by her father, Mr. Jones, a
man of some property. He lived in the house where they
resided, the shop and parlour of which he allowed them to
occupy rent free. The wife was a very industrious woman,
and paid great attention to the business, which, under her
management, was progressing very favourably. Lately the
murderer has been jealous of his wife ; but, it is said, with-
out the slightest clause. Matters at one time became so un-
pleasant between them that Bousfield was offered by Mr.
Jones a sum of money to enable him to go to America if he
would leave his wife behind ; but he refused ; his jealousy ap-
peared to increase ; and it is believed he then formed the
determination to commit the horrible crime which he carried
into effect.
On Saturday last, about midnight, Mrs. Bousfield closed her
shop, at which time the husband was at home, and, what is
extraordinary, no noise was heard during the night, by the
persons living in the house.
About six o'clock, on Sunday morning, the murderer pre-
sented himself at the Bow-street police station, and informed
the constable that he had murdered his wife and family. He
was taken to the inspector on daty, to whom he repeated the
intelligence. The inspector at once despatched some men to
the place mentioned. Upon gaining admittance from the
street, they proceeded to the back parlour, and finding the door
locked, they broke it open, and entered the room. On one bed
lay the eldest child, a girl, about eight years old; she was
covered with blood, and it was found her throat was cut, the
wound dividing all the arteries, and extending nearly across
the neck. On the other bed were the bodies of the mother
and the two other children—a girl, about four years old, and
a boy, about eight months old. Mrs. Bonsfield's neck had a
wound in it about four and a-half inches wide, and very deep,
from which the blood was flowing fast. On her arms were five
other wounds. The infant's throat was also cut. They had
all been dead some time, the bodies being cold.
It was soon ascertained that the instrument with which the
dreadful deed had been committed was a carpenter's chisel,
which was found covered with blood.
The four bodies were removed in shells to St. James's work-
house, in Portland-street, and the murderer remains at Bow-
street station, for examination before the magistrates.

CURE OF A 14 YEARS' ASTHMATIC COUGH.

I, Thomas Carter, Egremont, Cheshire, bad an asthmatic cough
for fourteen years; nothing ever gave me relief until I commenced
taking Dr. Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, three boxes of which have
entirely cured me. (Signed) THOMAS CARTER.
Witness—Mr. Geo. Howell, Chemist, Dale-st., Liverpool.
CURE OF 29 YEARS' ASTHMATIC COUGH.
Middleton, near Manchester.
SIR,—I am now 44 years of age, and I have been afflicted with
an asthmatic cough since I was a boy of fifteen years of age;
during that time 1 have resorted to every means in my power to
remove it, but in vain, until last Sunday, when I sent for a small
box of Dr. Locock's Wafers. I have taken two boxes since, and
from the effects they have had upon me, I feel no doubt of a speedy
recovery. G. STRINGER.
Witness—M. Lynch, Chemist, Market-street.
RAPID CURE OF ASTHMA OF 14 YEARS' STANDING.
From Mr. J. E. Bignell, Hollyhead Road, Wednesbury, and ad-
dressed to Mr. Ladbury, there.
S; it,—When I had the first box of Dr. Locock's Wafers from
you, I was labourhg under one of those attacks of asthma to
which I have been subject now for about 14 years. I have had
including
two best medical advice the neighbourhood could afford,
two physicians at Birmingham, and one at Wolverhampton, but
with no success. My breathing was so very difficult that I ex-
pected every inspiration to be my last; as for sleep, that was im-
possible, and had been so for several weeks.
The first dose (only two small wafers) gave me great relief—the
second more so—in short, the first box laid the groundwork for
the cure, which only four boxes have effected, and I am now quite
well. (Signed) J. E. BIONELL.

VII.-PRIEBTIIOOD.

I. I believe Christ to be the only High Priest and only
Mediator.

11. I believe the Christian ministry to have succeeded to
the moral and spiritual functions of the Levitical priesthood,
but not to those offices which were limited to the Temple ritual.

VIII.-A.POSTOLICAM SUCCESSION.

I. I believe ii;epi;;;;llinistrit-o1;;;eCOme down from

11. I do not believe that divine grace is limited to that
ministry.

God and work righteousness are accepted with him.
These views you knew to be my sentiments. You knew it
twenty years ago. They are earnestly re-stated in the very
tracts which you misrepresent.
I freely forgive you your untruth and your injustice. It is

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.--Extract of a letter
from Mr. J. Perkins, of Long Lawford, near Rugby, dated Feb. 11,
1855. To Professor Holloway.—Sir,—Nly wile suffered, for four
years with a frightfully ulcerated leg, accompained by dropsical
swellings and profuse watery discharges. She consulted several
medical men, and bad recourse to a variety of remedies, but
without deriving any benefit. At last, she tried your Ointment
and Pills, and after persevering with them for about six weeks,
the wounds on her leg entirely healed, and she was thoroughly
restored to health, a blessing quite unexpected to all her
acquaintance.
THE possibility of abandoning medicine altogether is shown
by the numerous extraordinary cures, without medicine, of indi-
gestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and
liver complaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility
effected by Du Barry's delicious health-restoring Revalenta
Arabica Food. The following are not the least remarkable : No.

vousness." Cure No. 28,416, " William Hunt, Esq., barrister-at-
law, 60 years' partial paralysis." No. 32,814, " Captain Allen,
recording the cure of a lady from epileptic fits." No. 26,419, the
Rev. Charles Kerr, a cure of functional disorders. No. 24,814,
the Rev. Thomas 51inster, cure of five years' nervousness, with
spasms and daily vomitings. No. 41,617, Dr. James Shorland,
late surgeon in the 96th Regiment, a cure of dropsy. No. 37,403,
Samuel Laxton, Esq., a cure of two years' diarrhoea. Mr. Wm.
Martin, a cure of 8 years' daily vomiting. Richard Willoughby,
Esq., a cure of many years' biliousness.

VALUABLE TESTIMONIALS.

Another instance of the good effects of Keating's Cough Lozenges,
upwards of twenty-one years',standing.
Liverpool, 6a Bold-lace, Jan. 2G, 1848,
MY DEAR Sin,—l have great pleasure in informing you that
my wife has received great benefit from the use of Keating's
Cough Lozenges, you recommended her a short time since.
Previous to this she bad been troubled with a severe cough, and
was under some of our first medical men here without experi-
encing any relief; however, Keating's Lozenges have done
wonders.—With respect, believe me, yours faithfully,
Thos, MAYOR.

Cure of Cough after attach o 7 Influenza
Dover, 25th February, 1848.
Ste,—Please to send to Messrs. Barclay and Sons for enclosure
another dozen of your excellent Cough Lozenges. Having lately
had a severe attack of influenza, attended with violent Cough, for
five days, preventing my lying down in bed, I made trial of your
Lozenges, and am happy to. say, with the blessing of God, they
proved of the greatest service, and their use produced almost
intsantaneous relief. I give you this intelligence from a desire
that others might also be led to make the trial. I hope they will
experience the same result. Yours truly' O. HAMUROOK.

V-THE REAL PRESENCE.

I. By real presence is meant efficacy, and not local nearness.
The sun is present when he shines upon us, although bodily
he is ninety-five millions of miles distant.
11. Christ's real presence I believe to be the energy of his
action upon us.
That action I believe to be from the God-man Christ Jesus,
and that the energy of his power in the Lord's Supper is from
His divine and human nature.

This was symbolised in Rev. ail, 11, by the divine light
coming through a jasper or blood-coloured lamp.

VI.-SiCRIFICE.

I. There is no sin offering now either in reality or figure,
but the one continual offering of the blessed Jesus in heaven
—" a Lamb as it had been slain."—Rev. v., 6.
11. I believe that our " alms and oblations" are of the same
character as the Jewish peace-offerings, that is, presentations
to God as a thank-offering for His pardoning mercy and con-
tinual grace.
111. I believe in no other material sacrifice on our part in
Christian worship.

The cotton market was active, chiefly in transitu. Prices
ruled in favour of sellers, without quotable change in rates.
Midlands were about 9ic.
The transactions in flour were to a fair extent, and common
grades of State were si to 12,1 c. higher. Wheat was in
better demand, with sales of common to prime Tennessee red
at $1 90c., $1 96c. ; and Missouri white at $2 08c. Indian
corn in good request at steady rates.

Provisions had also advanced in value.
Freights to Liverpool were higher for grain, and firmer
for other articles, with increased activity. To London firm

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PRESS.

ON Thursday, the day of the opening of Parliament,
The Times, contrary to the custom of preceding years,
`wined no sketch of the Speech to be delivered that
afternoon, but stated, by way of apology for the omis-
sion, that the Government had wisely resolved to dis-
continue the practice of supplying the morning papers
with an outline of the anxiously looked for manifesto
of Ministerial intentions ; and the alteration was com-
mended as being more complimentary to HER MA-
JESTY, to allow the royal lips to be the first to com-
municate the intelligence, and the opening of Parlia-
ment to be something more, therefore, than a Royal
pageant. We cannot, however, accept the apology for
the reasons stated, inasmuch as the Morning Herald,
the acknowledged organ of the Conservative party,
and, therefore, not presumed to enjoy Ministerial con-
fidence, contained, on the same morning, a descrip-
tion of the Speech, so faithful in its details, not
only of the subjects mentioned, but of those omitted,
as to leave no doubt of its being founded on the
original document. The reasons alleged by The
Times for its own want of information amount, there-
fore, to nothing ; and we can only infer that it no
longer possesses the influence of which it once
boasted ; while the appearance of the Speech in the
Conservative organ might also lead to the inference
that the Ministers, notwithstanding their Liberal
antecedents, are willing and even anxious to rely for
support upon the Conservatives. It is, perhaps, after
all, no inappropriate corollary to the offer made some
time since to Lord STANLEY to accept a seat in the
Cabinet as Secretary of State for the Colonies.

The following is one of those cases arising from a disordered state

Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla. "Berkeley-square, Jan. 15, 1853.

that it has completely restored me to former health and strength.
I experience a degree of comfort, buoyancy of spirits, and renewed

I.- ROMANISM.

I. I believe Rome to be the Babylon foredoomed of God.
11. I believe Transubstantiation and the Sacrifice of the Mass
to be " blasphemous fables."
111. I believe the Supremacy claimed by the Pope to be a
blasphemous intrusion into the Headship of Christ.
IV. I believe the Romish Ideal of a Mediatorial Priesthood
to be an intrnsion into Christ's High Priesthood..
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1856-02-05

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH HOLYHEAD.

Your council, in conjunction with deputations iToi the
Exchange and Underwriters' Rooms, waited upon the Dock
Committee for the purpose of suggesting that a more complete
system of communication by telegraph should be adopted, so
that intelligence might be received in all weathers. Your
council have observed with much pleasure the recent pro-
ceedings of that body on the subject. It is to be hoped that
the great importance of the matter will gain for it the con-
sideration which it deserves, and that the question of first cost
will not be permitted to stand in the way of the adoption of
the magnetic system of coast telegraph, which is so eminentll
calculated to promote the safety and convenience of the shift'
ping frequenting the port, and thereby directly benefiting the
Dock Estate.
NEW SCALE OF REAL VALUES OF IMPORTS.
Yonr Council have much pleasure in reporting that the
measures taken to procure the monthly average values of l'
ports have been most successful ; and that for this service the
government, recognising its importance, has made an annual
grant to the Chamber. For the assistance rendered by tbe
several firms contributing returns, the Council begs to repcaP
its thanks.

BANK CHARTER ACTS.
In October last, a requisition' very numerously an!d
respectably signed, was presented to the Council, requesting
them to call a meeting of the Chamber, " to consider what
course should be adopted for the relief of the community 001,
suffering under the influence of the present monetary systexn.,
The Council, having maturely considered the subject, did oe'
deem it necessary to call a meeting of the Chamber, but 3P'
pointed a standing committee to watch the *ogress of event,
and to intimate to the Council their opinion when immediate
action on the part of the Chamber might be desirable. Up n
the present time no intimation to that effect has been receive
from the commitee.

In the meantime the committee has been requested to give
consideration to the general merits of the Bank Charter star
and its effects on the trade and commerce of the country.
The committee has a very arduous and difficult task 10;
posed upon it, and requires to proceed with deliberation anu,
caution in its investigations ; and time does not yet permit 01
its presenting any report.
When this report is received, the council, consideria
the great importance of the subject, will lay it before the
Chamber itself.

RETIREMENT OF DIRECTORS.
Since the last annual meeting your council regret to report
that two vacancies have been occasioned ; the one by the de"
cease of Mr. Fowles, and the other by the resignation of Nit'

perhaps prudent brevity, to the subjects connected
with internal improvements which are recommended
to the attentive consideration of the legislature. The
first named is the difference which exists in the
commercial laws of Scotland and those of other parts
of the kingdom, whereby great inconvenience has
been occasioned to those engaged in trade. The sub-
ject has attracted much of the attention of legal
authorities within the last few years, particularly with
reference to bankruptcy laws, and measures for a
remedy of the admitted evils are promised. Should
these be carried out in a liberal spirit, no doubt much
advantage will be gained, but they should be pressed
in an early part of the session, for, if left till near the
close, as is too often the case, they will either be
hurried through the Upper House without due
deliberation, or withdrawn for a succeeding session.
The promise of measures for improving the laws
relating to partnership has reference to the Bill
which was introduced last session in company with
the Limited Liability Act, and ultimately withdrawn.
Its principal object is to enable capital to be embarked
in mercantile speculation without placing the whole
of the property of the capitalist in jeopardy.
The succeeding allusion to the complaints of mer-
chant ships being liable to pay local dues and passing
tolls, has, no doubt, reference to the town dues levied
by our Corporation, and which constitute so material
an item of the revenue of Liverpool. We shall, of
course, rely on the vigilance of our representatives in
resisting any attack on our local resources, which will
most likely be attempted by a kind of, side wind, or
legislating in general terms with the view of including
all particular cases. It ought not to be difficult to
convince independent members of Parliament that,
while the town dues of Liverpool are of great im-
portance to the Corporation, by enabling them to
effect many valuable improvements, they are no injury
or detriment to trade, as is abundantly proved by the
rapid and continuous increase of the commerce of the
port.
Other important measures are promised ; and the
speech concludes with a prayer for that blessing of
Divine Providence which can alone secure the welfare
and happiness of this or any people. Upon the whole,
therefore, this Ministerial manifesto, though meagre
in many respects, is successful in avoiding topics
likely to create any serious dissension, and we need
not consequently be surprised at the unanimity with
which the address in reply to it was-agreed to in both
Houses. The great difficulty was, of course, that
portion concerning the peace negotiations, as it would
have been unadvisable to betray any anxiety for peace,
while, at the same time, it was necessary to speak of
the willingness to entertain the propositions which
Russia had accepted. This difficulty, it must be con-
fessed, the Ministers have very fairly overcome, and
we may therefore excuse the poverty of the speech in
other respects, keeping at the same time a watchful
attention on the progress of the negotiations.
