The deputation from Liverpool and Manchester it appears,
had an interview with the Chancellor of the, Exchequer yester-
day, respecting the required assistance for the Liverpool mer-
chants. The Chancellor stated that the circumstances of the case
were not such as to require any assistance or interference on
the part of his Majesty's Ministers, recommending the depu-
tation to apply to the Bank of England, by whom aid would
probably be rendered, if adequate grounds could be made ap-
parent.

Money; since which they are not quite so good, and may be
quoted at 90i for Money and time.
The English Dividends are in course of payment this

The new theatre in Oxford•street proceeds rapidly
towards completion. There are now nearly two hundred work-
men employed ; last week they struck for more wages, but
the architect, by promptly posting up " Men belonging to the
Union or not will be taken in," quickly brought the refractory
to their senses.

Mr. Buckingham, M.P. for Sheffield, has arrived
in this town for ,he purpose of seeing some of his friends
previous to his leaving England for Arncrica, where we arc
informed President Van Buren has offered him a Secretary-
ship, which Mr. Buckingham will, it is expected, accept.—
Leamington Chronicle.
On Sunday evenitig, a few minutes after six o'clock,
a daring robbery was committed in Hyde- park, on the persons
of Mrs. Anderson (a lady residing in Adam-street, Cumber-
land-place) and her daughter. They were crossing Hyde-
park from Kensington to their residence, and, when they had
arrived near the large clump of trees between the Magazine
and Cumberland-gate, they were suddenly attacked by two
females, who snatched their reticules, containing a purse with
one sovereign and six shillings, with which they escaped, taking
the direction of the Magazine barracks. _ _ _

We regret to announce a most melancholy event
which has taken place in India. A Major in a regiment of
Light Dragoons having found a Cornet of the same regiment
in an equivocal position with his wife, drew his sword and as-
saulted him with the evident intention of killing him, in which
it is believed he thought he had succeeded ; for he imme-
diately retired to his own room and shot himself through his
head. The delinquent, however, escaped with his life, and
is now on his return to this country. For obvious reasons we
suppress the names of the parties.
Mr. Macvey Napier is to be appointed ono of the
principal Clerks of Session in Scotland, in room of Mr.
Rolland, who died a few days ago. Mr. Napier is emi-
nently qualified by his knowledge and habits efficiently to dis-
charge the duties required from him : his attachment to the
Liberal cause has been long tiled. Mr. Napier is editor of
the Edinburgh Review, and Professor of Conveyancing in the
University of Edinburgh. His ability as a conveyancing
lawyer peculiarly fits him for the situation, and we therefore
congratulate the Government on having made an appointment
so deservedly popular.
The Bishop of Meaux, in France, has just dis•
covered in his episcopal city a number of autographs of
Bossuet. Amongst other things of the kind he has disco-
vered the original letters of a correspondence with Fenelon,
of which only a few detached letters were known to be in
existence.

A boy of 16, named Tristram, a resident of Bally-
money, has lately executed a number of ingenious mechanical
contrivances, and amongst the rest a steam-engine for churn-
ing, which he has succeeded in putting into full operation.
He has also executed a beautiful model of the engine, which
may be seen by the curious who visit Ballymoney.—Belfast
Paper.
Judge B-, once an excellent lawyer, had begun
for some time to talk rather too much on the bench. Some-
body observed that he was growing so old that his nose and
chin were likely to come into collision. " Yes," said Rose,
" there have been a great many words between them of late."
It is not the intention of the authorities to replace
the 3d Light Dragoons in Ireland by another cavalry regiment,
and the establishment in that country will thereby be lessened
by so many officers and men.— United Service Gazette.
On Wednesday night, about eleven o'clock, the
" Northern Lights" were exceedingly brilliant. Never we
believe, were they more imposingly grand. Instead of ra-
diating from the northern horizon, as in the case in common,
they burst forth from th centre of the heavens, and radiated in
all directions. The colour of the " streamers," too was un-
usual. Instead of the light yellow, we had a blood-red, beau-
tifully dazzling when reflected on by the more prominent stars
over which they shone. At times, too, a rustling noise was
heard, a circumstance which, though uncommon here, is quite
familiar to those who inhabit more northern regions.—Aber-
deen Herald.
