THE NOVEL CASE OF HOUSE BR EAKING. —Jennings,
who was charged with the novel case of breaking into

putting batl.
DEATH FROM MORTIFICATION, In our paper of yesterday
there appeared an account of an accident to a female,
named Ellen Tobin, who was in the Royal Infirmary under
treatment. She died yesterday. We wish in this case to
correct an error—not, however, originating with ,us. It
was stated that the person who had hurt the deceased was
a publican. Our reporter took the statement from the
police Loftier who had charge of the case, but it appears
this was a pure mistake. An inquest will be held on the
body this day:

ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT UNITED ST4III

CIRCUS.

For some days past the inhabitants of this tosvr;
has been astonishedand surprised at the immense Placard
;which announced what was to ba seen in this moist
establishment. The magnitude of the arrangements 37
some are-considered as far beyond the enterprise of spy
man to carry out, but the daily preparations that were
e
beicg made on the old site of the Islingtonlse; mar
where the circus will be pitched, tended much to convin
a}
even the most sceptical that something more than ale
was about to be offered to the Liverpool public le Ise
shape of an equestrian entertainment. On Saluro4
the ship Southampton, which had been chartered by
enterprising proprietors for conveying the whole tr9t:
from New York to this country, arrived in the riT
She left the former port on the 25th of March, under the
m
command of Captain Austin, and after a most
successful run, arrived as above stated. Yesterday
we were invited on board to inspect the horses and the
entire arrangements of the vessel, and perhaps it .
seldom been our lot to witness space sojudiciouely occuPle,
or arrangements so complete. Commencing with the dee;
we observed the cases containing all the large and Ittlaegart
ficently painted carriages, some of which, for their spleadn.st
far surpass anything ever seen in this country before, .11%,
will, no doubt, create quite a sensation when exhibited
the streets of this great town, amongst which we. 017 k
notice the splendid Indian carriage, and the
oat.shi
invented musical instrument celled the Apollonicon, 'lO2
will be drawn by 40 beautiful cream coloured horses,
many others of less note, bat of exceeding grandeur;
appearance. The cargo of this ship consisted of tsPvnitri4
of 100 horses, same of which, for beauty and
far out rival any stud that has ever been seen in old Enlll;s4
amongst which are no less than 42 creams with whitetails ded
manes, the collection of which must have been atte% et
with very great expense, and certainly reflects the
eeia
credit on the spirit and taste of the proprietors. l'e"„reese
also amongst the stud twenty most m ignificeat riega"B- lack
exclusive of a tlforoughbred black Indian horse,
E fgle," white and cream coloured mares, whose u
aSt
e,
ing feats of instinct and sagacity will, as they have don
astonish all beholders. Besides the stud of horses, are to
highly trained mules, which, although small in eigr'' are
said to be unequalled in feats of cunning. The aris
connected with this troupe consists of one hundred males
sse
and females, amongst whom are, it is stated, the fills(
equestrian riders in the world. There is also a port
Indian savages from the rocky mountains, consPt.'„'vg
chiefs, braves, prophets, squaws, &c., who will give thrl",',o,
representations of horsemanship, atheletic exercises, "no
dances, &c. The latter we had the pleasure of seeing -0
baaPd the ship, and from their general appearance, thereof
n ) doubt, but that they are real Indians," and il;
impostors dressed up for the occasion. There are 11,',136
men and two females, all of whom were in their ns-vof
costumes, and looked remarkably well. The exPeaseef
emveying this immense establishment across the Atlsettitt
must have been very considerable, finding y. that en the
starting from New York, they had far the horses alone'
less than twenty tons of hay, and 1,000
quarters of Lito,
besides other fodder, and notwithstanding
the long o'e;
the arrangements of the ship were so complete, that ac
al',
a single accident occurred to any of the beautiful flail:nsi,
all of which looked as *eh and as fiery on their arriverdr

But of course, amongst so many, some few accidents 11°
occur. However, only two were lost. While the arre2ses
