The daily Pacers this morning announced in Urge
type and with startling head-lint@ that • number of
Infernal machines had been discovered on board an
American steamer at Liverpool. The alleged discovery
naturally caused cons' leralile alarm, but we are glad
to bear that there is no foundation for the rumour.
Our Central News corn sp indent telegraphs :
"Major Greig, Chief of the Livirp iol Police, pro-
nounces the report circulated in Liverpool last tight of
the discovery of infernal machines shipped from
America, to be an absurd hoax."
Messrs. Miniver, the owners of the st•amer, know

Cunard steamer Malta. They bebeve the rumour

MEMORIAL TO DEAN STANLEY.

prising a recumbent figure. to be executed by an
eminent sculptor, and placed near the grave in Henry
VlL's Cnapel, as nearly as poulble underneath the
memorial window dedicated by the Dean to the memory
of his wife, Lady Augusts Stanley. It is thought to
be not unlikely that the outlay netessary for • monu-
ment of the kind may be defrayed by a large number
of smaller contribution.; and that enough may slid
be collected by individual or combined subscriptions,
to go far to fulfil • design constantly cherished by the
late Dem', that of completing the restoration of the
ancient Chapter House, by filling in the windows
with stained glans. One of these will in due time be
completed at the 'sperms of his own personal .state;

however, took a note of Mr. Gundry's objection.—

included in the same SIIMMOTSP. —This objection was
also overruled, a note being made of it according to
request.—Mr. &Watt then discovered that • mistake
had been made in the date, when the offence was ,
committed. Under these circumstances Mr. Baskett
