Sr. GEORGE'S STIMPLE, LIPtRPOOL.

This chaste and beautiful piece of architecture was finish-
ed on Wedgy last. The " top►tune was brought to with
shouting" .a Saturday, ow which OCCALgiIe the steeple was
decorated With flags sod the erudition' celebrate' the
rent by regaling themselves its mid air. Ow Moody scorn.
sag the steeple was crowned by • gilt ball, surnsoulted by •
vise reps sensing St. George and the Dragon.
The boar of the steeple is 30 feet ermine, and the vil o'c
height to the top of the cap of the spite is ■bout tn feel.
Daring the time the scaffolding was op, many indivlduals
climbed to the summit of the spire. The beauty, eines t.
sod grandeur of the panoramic view which press Ned itself
to the eye of the delighted beholder from Ibis airy elevsli,r
amply compensated for the danger of the swat. The
vessels on the river, the beautiful fields a•d charming
villas of Cheshire, the valley through which Saws t►e
tiee-
Dee, the hoary and stupendous momstaime of North Iffs'es,
towering in sublime majesty thworde heaven, the clout&
rolling far beneath their summits, were beheld t■ all their
beauty sad magnificence. Seaward the perilous banks were
seen, stretching for miles tutu the ocean, sod • A et of
morels was descried for off at sea, like a speck eau the Vert:
of the hwrisoo. Northward the distant mountain of Black -
elan% in Cumberland, rose in gloomy majesty, eirotrastin.r
with the yellow sands stretching slung the Vorneby
Even the niountaius of the hie of Man, distant from Li-
verpool sear oeveriy smiles, were, if we may credit t►e rum-
Silent amertious of t►e mucous, visible in •ery clear wea-
ther, from this elevated station.

Windsor theatre was numerously and fiishionab'y
attended during the lest week. The Officers of
the second regiment of life guard. patronized
the performances of Thursday, and the Officers of
the grenadier guards those of Saturday.
Nothing occurred in the course of last week la
agitate the funds. The settlement of the Auguet
account will take place on Wednesday.
In the prudent spirit of the times, which the re-
duction of rents rod of the value of oilier pro-
perty makes necessary, the Corporation 1.1 Lincoln,
at a Common Council held on Saturday last, re-
solved to apply the pruning-knife to their expense► ;
sud a resolution passed for chminithiug the annual
sums allowed to the Mayor, the SlieritlS, sod uil

(Se►tions dinners. &c.) which had proved very costly
to the city fund., a decent sod sensible example.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION.

Oa Wednesday morning last the election of • Represen-
tative I. Parliament for the University of Oxford. is she
room of Sir W. Scutt, Dow Lord Stowell, commenced in the
Coarocation House. The candidates were Sir John Nielsoll
sad Mr. Heber. The Convocation was opened by the Vice-
Chancellor is a fAtio speech, after which the uswal ceremo-
nies took place. Sir John Nieholl was nominated by the
President of St. John's College, and Mr. Heber by the Re-
gius Profinsor of Dminity, in short Latin speeches.
Tbc Vauest.an Tuaaw, of Corpus, then rose, and
commenced a speech in English, when he was slopped by
the Piet-Chancellor, with the words " Nem:o eel Wise
/ord."
Some conversation then took place, when cave being given
to speak in English—
Mr. Ttionas addressed the House. He asked if there was
soy Fenno present who could certify that Mr. Heber enter-
tained seutinieuts hostile to the claims of the Romeo Ca-
tholics? when _ _

Archdeacon CRVITON replied, " I can."
Mr. THOMAS proceeded to slate Hutt be conceived the de-
claration which Mr. Heber'a friend bad made with regard to
his iwstionehts was sot sufficiently explicit, or cuntaiued iu
a rufficient number of words to be suitable to so solemn au
°MMUS.
Mr. Archdeacon CROUTON did not think a better preser-
vative tumid be flitted than the electiug of a was whose
abilities were of the Ant order, which would be wholly de-
votrd to the interests of tbe University. The Archdeacon
mated that he had recei►ed a letter even so early as twenty
yetis ago from Slr. Heber, in which he had more clea►ly ex-
pressed his decided hortilety to ary further coucessious to
the Roma. Catholics.

Dr. &Ammon, is reply to some of the observations of
Mr. Thomas, staled that he had received a letter from Mr.
Haler so late as Jody last, wherriu he explicitly avowed Ma
hostility to suy further concessions to the Roman Catholics.
Mr. RUSIIIML observed, that it appeared that even be (Dr.
Elkrtniu) had SOUR doubts mpeetiag the principles of his
friend Mr. Hater, haviag so recently corresponded with bias
es the subject.
Mr. RtGIN&LD Hilleß stated, that whenever he himself
-bad r epees. sett an opinion favourable to Catholic Eistanci.
patio., his brother had invariably endeavoured to win him
ever to the contrary side of the gewgaws.
The pull etiatiaued until fire is the evening, when the
numbers were declared to be—

shooting at James Brigolen, on the 29th of July,
et Hadlow, in the county of Kent, with intent to
kill and murder him. There ',ere other counts,
'saying the intent conformably to the nerds of the
statute. •
Mr. ADOLPHUS briefly stated the case for the
prosecution, and commented with energy man the
increasing practice, of which the present woe en
instance, of gamekeepers taking the law into
their own hand., and punishing a mere try-epos,
such as poaching, either with immediate death, or
grievous and lasting bodily injury. lie then pro-
ceeded to call the following witnesses:—
James Brigden, the prosecutor, stared, that on
the 49th of ittly, at four in the morning, he WoS in
a field belonging to Mf. Watt, is company %%Ali
another mast named James Duvall. They were
taking up wires fur hares by a hedge. Hi. consiin-
mon Divall, who was foremost, said, " There's a
man." Witness immediately saw the Prisoner
Winn about five rood,' elf ; two of his brothers
wale in company with him. One of the brother.
had a stick ; the Prisolier and she other brother hail
gunr. The Prismier cocked his gm) ; witness mid
Divall immediately ran away. The Prisoner, who
knew witness very well, cried out, " Slop him ;
knock him down." One of the Prisoner's brothers
struck at witness with 111/ slick, bat he avoided the
blow. Witness ran on,and someone cried out "Shoos !"
Witting looked round, snit saw the Prismwr level
his gun at him suit fire. Ile sa • the Bash and
smoke. He was wounded Moonily in the right ham.
He ran on three paces swore, when he heard a se-
cond report, amid was wounded again in the kft
leg and thigh. He received .20 shots the first time.
and more than 40 the second. Ile dud not know
• who fired the second tune ; he thought it mast
have been the Psimiser by the direction from which
Ilse shot came. All the shot hit bun behind. He
come to a gate, fell over it, and rolled down. He
could get no farther. The Prisoner then came up
to him, es did his brother., who had in the meal,
time taken Divell. The Prisoner looked min wit-
ness's hat, and felt down his with's. He said, "Curse
jour heart, I've stung you, have I?" Witness said,
indeed you have." The Prisoner tiled to make
-.am get up, but he could nut walk, and he let him
il•wo again, and said, " Lie there and be cursed."
-The Prisoner and Ins brothers then went away.
Witness begged of them to send some one to carry
Jim away, but they took no notice. He laid there
Anil an hour. He rolled nod scrambled across
the field, and lay there cryirig " Murder !" until a
limn came front a co:taii,e, mid he was afterwards
berried to his father-in-law's residence. Ile had
Itietnisintd there ever since. Ile had kept his bed
omit Saturday last. He had been helpless ever
Mince.

by Mr. CUILWOO.—He knew
that the Prisoner was Sir. Sanderson's keeper. He
was poaching that morning. lie caused a stick.
Divall was token into custody that inoruang. Nu
one tried to take witness. He never struck the Pri-
soner. The Prisoner was not down or the ground
when he fired.
James Divall deposed shit he !r ad been brought
from Bridraell to give evidence. He was in cus-
tody fur poaching on the day in question. He con-
firmed the Prosecutor in all the material facts of
Ins evidence. lie underwent a rigid cross-exami-
nation, but did slot deviate (ruin his original story.
—This was the case for the prosecution.
The Partner said that the Prosecutorstruck him
first ; and he offered nothing further in his defence.
The following witnesra were called or his bilialf:
William Winn, nee of the Prisoner's brothers,
said he was present rnr the day in question. AVit-
rifts went up to the Prosecutor first. The Prisoner
ordered him to stop, at a distance of three rod..
The Prosecutor ran on. The Prisoner followed and
neared him, when she Prosecutor hit i • a back-
handed blow on the head with a large stick, which
knocked him down. [The stick was here produced,
'slid it appeased to be a formidable weapon.] The
Prisoner had not tired then. lie afterwards tired
on has hands mid knees, holding the gun out with
one hand.

'—The gun was not in Court.
Witness had • bludgeon with him. He took
Divall into custody. Did not know what weapon
his other brother hall. He Caine out of a
pit. said witness hailed iiim. WlilltPS pursued Di-
rail with his hack towards the Prosecutor. There
woos only one discharge. He saw the Prosecutor
when be was wounded. The Poisoner never said
" Lie there and be cursed."

Henry Wino, the other brother, &priori that he
was present at the transaction. He was in pit.

The first thing be saw was the Prosecutor knocking
the Prisoner down. It was a back-handed blow.
They were standing still. The Prusecutor bud not
been running away ; the Prisoner stopt bins. The
Prosecutor bud beets running away before that. He
tried to hit the Prisoner again, but seeing women'
he ran away : witness did not ►ee the Psi:oiler tire.
He was knocked down before he fired.

Cross-examined—W sllisiu VVutu, the lust
news, pursued Divot'. He had his back to the Pri.
tomer when the blow took place, and was yenning
otter David!. The Prisoner was ou hie hands and
knees when he fired. •' I did not see him fire."—
" I did see him tire." He fired only once. Iliad
uo gut., °lily a stick.
Examined 6 the JUDGE.—No one called me
out of the pit.
Richardson Sanderson, E•q. said, that the Pri-
soner is a good father uud hueband, and a feeling
humane man. though of a very high spirit.
Cross-exuasitied —The field in queition is not in
my manor.
Henry Cheestoun and John Town, farmers in
the neighbourhood, gave the Prisoner a good cha-
racter for feeliug and humanity.
The Learned JUDOS summed up the case fo►
the Jury, and charged them, that it the blow had
been given previously to the discharge of the gull,
that fact would take the case out of the atatute;
but that if uo blow had beam' previously struck,
