ANOTHER TRIUMPH OF STEAM-

NAVIGATION.
TRIAL TRIP OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL

This splendid new iron steam-stip, commanded by
Captain M'Arthur, -made a pleasure trip from this port
to Dublin on Monday, and returned the same even-
ing (arriving early this morning), after a run, " out
and home," which proves her to be truly a " clip-
per." As we have before noticed, she was built
(both vessel and engines) for the Glasgow and Li-
verpool Royal Steam ComPany, by Messrs. Tod and
M'Gregor of the former port, and is intended to run be-
tween this and the western metropolis of Scotland. She
is of 800 tons burden, and 380-horse power.
The Princess Royal started from the Sea-wall of the Cla-
rence Pock on Monday morning, at seven minutes past six
o'clock,'in company with her Majesty's mail steam-s Ur-
gent, and arrived in Kingstown harbour, against a strong-
ish head wind, in nine hours forty-four minutes, leaving
the Urgent, hull down, shortly after passing Holy-
head. There were on board fifty-six gentlemen, all of
whom were highly delighted with the magnificent
accommodations, the sumptuous fare, and the extraor-
dinary speed of the vessel. Most of the party proceeded
to Du:olin by the railway, and after enjoyining them-
selves for nearly two hours again joined the ves-
sel which started on her return hither a few minutes past
six o'clock, and accomplished the passage into the
river in precisely nine hours, or nine hours and five
minutes from quay to quay. On her homeward voyage
she met the Urgent on her " outward passage," (after
the delay mentioned,) off the Hill of Howth. The
Princess, mail ship, (a fast vessel,) had sailed half an
hour before her, and she overtook and passed her at
nine o'clock, before making Holyhead light. The Prin-
cess Royal made her last passage from Glasgow to this
port in fifteen hours and twenty-three minutes, the
quickest on record, and is, we will venture to say, the
titstest steam-ship afloat. We had the pleasure to be on
board of her on her pleasure trip, and .shall notice it at
more length in our next publication.—Liverpool

• STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
The numerous and heavy failures which have occur-
red in different parts of the country, coupled with some
relaxation in the price of cotton at Liverpool, had
an unfavourable effect upon this market yesterday ;
• and the slight advance pretty generally demanded
a week ago, was no longer insisted upon. There
was, however, a fair business done in yarn at the rates
current prior to last week. It is stated that the liabili-
ties of the banking-house which recently failed in this
neighbourhood, will amount to nearly a million sterling,
of which more than one half will fall upon Manchester
and the immediate neighbourhood, and the remainder
principally in Cheshire.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 12.
—There has been to-day some little improvement in the
demand for goods, but no change in prices. The wool-
market is dull, with steady prices.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JULY 13.—This was as dull.
a market day as any for some months past ; and the
trifling business that was done was anything but satis-
factory. In short, trade is in a deplorable state ; and,
unless a speedy change takes place, extensive distress
will be inevitable. Prices are quite nominal.

A case of workhouse discipline, remarkable
chiefly for its revolting impurity, has lately occurred in the
Downham Union, in Norfolk. We are actuated by no feel-
ings of false delicacy in saying that the details of this tran-
saction are of too disgusting a nature to be presented to the.
mixet class of readers of a public journal, but we trust that
the inquisitorial secrecy, which could not. in this case prevent
the detection of the offender, will he equally unavailing to
screen him from exposure and punishment. We are the more
willing to pass over any further allusion to the affair for the
present, as we understand that it has already been lard be.
fore the Poor-law Commissioners, who have undertaken to
investigate it thoroughly, and that the evidence necessary to
substantiate it will be shortly published in the form of a pam-
phlet. We must add, however, that the offender (lieu nefus
lieu!) is a clergyman, and trust, that his diocesan, the Bishop
of Norwich, to whom the particulars of the ewe have been
made known, will he less forgetful of the power of ecclesias-
tical censures, than that self-constituted protector of female
innocence the Earl of Mountcashel.— Times.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY A FOOTMAN.--
EFFECTS OF PLEDGIWG PLATE.-011 Tuesday morning, be-
tween six and seven o'clock, a desperate attempt at suicide was
committed by a young man, twenty-four years of age, of the
name of Henry Jacynes, a footman, residing with Mrs. Leicester,
a lady in Park-street, Grosvenor-square. It appears that on
Monday evening his mistress gave him orders to bring the plate
that had been intrusted to his care to her for her inspection on
Tuesday, fur the purpo:e of being placed in the plate-chest,
p. evious to quitting London. Immi diately afterwards the un-
fortunate man went out for the purpose of endeavouring to
raise tt.e amount of four pounds (but which he could not), to
obtain out of pledge some trifling article, consisting of tea and
dessert spoons, which he had imprudently pledged. On re-
turning home he appeared dejected, and fearing a prosecution
he determined to put a period to his existence by cutting his
throat. Surgical assistance was procured, and hopes are en-
tertained for his recovery.
INVERNESS PRESBYTERY.—•THE PAVIOT
CASE.—A :meeting of the Presbytery of Inverness was
held on Tuesday, when Mr. C. Stewart, agent for the
people of Daviot, read the sentence of the General As-
sembly rejecting Mr. Simon Mackintosh as presentee of
this pariSh, and appointing it to be intimated to the pa-
tron (the Crown). The Presbytery resolved to comply
with this injuuction, on which it was moved by Dr. Rose.
and seconded by Mr. Fraser, of Dores, 'that " in making
this intimation to.the Crown, in obedience to the General
Assembly, the Presbytery state that they are perfectly
aware that they are in violation of the statute law, as de-
clared by the Court of Session and the House of Lords,
and that if the patron or the presentee may choose in
this case to assert their undoubted rights, the Presbytery
will have the alternative of being deposed, or subjected to
n action of damages and imprisonment. The Presby
tery, therefore, respectfully, but earnestly submit to the
Crown, and through it to the Legislature, whether this
be a situation in which any loyal and obedient subject
should be placed or suffered to remain for a single day."
It was moved by Mr. Fraser, of Kirkhill, and seconded
by Mr. Sutherland, that this statement be not trans-
mitted. Votes being taken, it was carried " Not trans •
mit," by five to four.

JEALOUSY AND LOVE.,--ATTEMPTED SUI-
CIDES. —On Tuesday morning, two females, named Sarah Fox,
about 40 years of age, and Sarah Brawn, about 16, were taken
to St. Thomas's Hospital in a shocking state from the effects of
poison, taken by them under the influence of jealousy and
love. In the former case it appeared the woman had been
living during the last three years with a man in Great
Russell-street., Bermondsey ; and on Sunday morning she
discovered that he had got married to the landlady of the
house where they were lodging. t.she procured two penny-
worth of arsenic and four-pennyworth of opium, which she
swallowed. In the latter case the unfortunate girl had
formed an attachment to a young man of her acquaintance,
and which being unrequited, she procured at different times
small portions of laudanum till she had got together a suffi-
cient quantity, and proceeded to put her purpose into execu-
tion. On being conveyed to the above hospital powerful
emetics were administered to both of them, and the poison
ejected from their stomachs, but they both remain in a de-
plorable condition.,
WOOLWICI-1,---PERCUSSION SHELLS.—TI7e
Select Committee will, by order of the Master-General of
the Ordnance, meet in the marsl:es on Friday, the 16th in.t.,
at one r. at., for the purpose of continuing the experiments
with :his new projectile, which is likely hereafter to exercise so
great an influence in naval warfare.
GOOD OUT OF Evit...—The skeleton of Cor-
der, the murderer, has been placed in a recess of the museum
of thel Suffolk Infirmary, Bury St. Edmund's. It is covered
with a glass case, beneath which is a box to receive contribu-
tions. Every visitor is expected to put silver into this boZ,
which money is applied to the wants of the necessitous patients.
By an ingeniously constructed spring, the arm of the skeleton
points towards the box as soon as the visiters approach it, The
receipts are said to average about 501. per annum. .
