(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY MORNING.
The following additional extracts from the American Pa-
pers, include he whole of the news of any interest to be
found in them
CHARGE OF FRAUD AND PERJURY IN THE ELECTIONS.
At the New York Sessions the Grand Jury, instead of
finding true bills against the persons implicated in what is
called the Glentworth case, presented the Recorder in the

following terms:—" The Grand Jury cannot in justice to
themselves, acting under the sacred obligations of their
oaths, permit the present occasion to pass without express-
ing their views upon the charge which his Honour the Re-
corder thought proper to address to them previous to their
entering upon the discharge of the important trust, for
which they were empannelled. In reference to that part
of the charge relating to the examination by the Recorder
of the election frauds, and the procurement and possession
of "the Glentworth Papers," as they are called, no docu-
ments have bees presented to them, either by the Commit-
ting Magistrates, his Honour the Recorder, or the district
Attorney.
" But on the contrary, the Grand Jury feel hound
t• present, that in the instance referred to, there
was in their opinion, the violation of the rights of
a ci.izen and of the law of the land, which secures
to every citizen, however humble, an exemption
from search and forcible seizure of his property and papers,
except under warrant, to be issued by a magistrate, on
reasonable cause shown by affidavit, to be within the limit
prescribed by the statute and common law of the land.
That the adoption of any other rule would permit any
justice on his own volition to force from the custody of
our citizens the title-deeds to their property, private corre-
spondence, without the consent of the owners, on a mere
supposition that something might be discovered bearing on
an individual charged with a misdemeanour, not committed
in the case referred to by the individual who had the charge
and custody of the papers.
" And they further present the proceedings of the Recorder
to execute the office of a search personally, while in their
opinion it may make him a party to any illegality that may
have taken place, has the effect to deprive both the ac-
cused and the people of his learning and experience in the
future progress of such proceedings.
" And they do further present, that the publication in the
newspapers, under the sanction of the Recorder, of the
depositions and affidavits taken before him, in reference to
a complaint necessary to be laid before a Grand Jury, was
an act tending to injure the character of the accused pre-
vious to a trial by a jury of his country, in violation of
that benign principle which presumes a man to be innocent
until proved guilty."
Against this presentment, however, a minority of the
Jury, less than the majority only by one, protested, and the
protest was allowed to be entered on the records of the
Court.

FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS.—The once extraordinary
Fanny Kemble (sow the amiable Mrs. Butler, with a smart
husband and two fine children), arrived in town yesterday,
on her way to England, in the British Queen, to see her
father who is on his last legs. Her husband follows next
spring. Previous to her departure, however, Mrs. Butler
has found time to write a ballet for Fanny Elssler. which
is said to unite great genius and taste. During Made-
moiselle Elsslcr's engagement in Philadelphia, Fanny
Kemble frequently visited the theatre to see Fanny
Elssler, and as one great artiste is capable of estimating
another, the poetry of tragedy became a great admirer of
the poetry of motion.
Much good ingenuity has been thrown away in endea-
vouring to account for the absence of the public from the
two great legitimate theatres, one clique insisting upon it
that the taste for equestrianism draws away all the play
goers, and another set believing that the public prefer lec-
tures and concerts to stage exhibitions. Oar own opinion
is that if the Managers would pay more attention to the
prAuctions of novelties, and have the plays efficiently per-
formed, the public would still go to see the legitimate
dr,ma or the chefs dceuvre of the great musicians.—Ncw
Y.rk Haab].
MURDER.—We learn that Mr. William Cox, of Princess
Anne county, was murdered on Monday evening last, in
that county, by a man named Dawley. His body was
found in the woods about twenty yards final the road early
tli" next day. Dawley was seen on 'I uesday morning
coming towards NoJelk on horseback.—Baltimore Re-
pabliran.
NGT IN HASTE.—A clergyman in the North, very
homely in his address, chose for his teat a passage in the
p„ilas I said in my haste, all men are liars." " Ay,"
premised his nevcrerxe, by w:-Iy of introduction, " ye said
it in your haste, David, did ye ? Gin ye bad been here, ye
might has said it at your leisure, man."
GENERAL HARRISON'S

We have at length received important private despatches
from Cincinnati, giving us much iaformation relative to
the composition of General Harrisen's Cabinet, and the
policy of his administration.
We learn that Mr. Clay, at the sugqestion of his friends,
declines altogether to form a part of the New Cabinet—
and that it is expected by them end him, that D iniel Web-
ster will or ought oleo to decline should he be offered a
place there. It is furthermore stated that General Har-
rison will select his Cabinet from the following names :
Secretary of State—Jelin Sergeant, Horace Bineey,
Edward Everett, William H. Seward, John M. Clayton,
William C. Rives, William Preston, John .1. Crittenden,
:onn Q. Adams.
Treasury—John Davis, Gulian C. Verplanck, John Ser-
ge mt.
Navy—Gulian C. Verplanck, Nathaniel P. Tallniadge,
Samuel Southard, William Gaston, Theodore Frelingliuy-
sen. John L. Pettigru.
War—William Preston. Willle P. Mangum, Alexander
Porter. John Bell, Thomas Metcalfe.
Attorney-General—John J. Crittenden, John C. Spcn-
cer, William Gaston, Jahn L. V. M'Mahon, Hugh Legere.
Postmaster-General—Thomas Ewing, Elisha Whittle-
sey, Oliver H. Smith,
Arnow, these the chances are that the first named will
be the cabinet, and the others have the Foreign Missions,
&e. The exclusion of Clay and Webster is based on the
principle that no candidate for the succession ought to form
a part of the new Ca4net. This policy has been sug-
gested by Mr. Clay and his friends, as their own best po-
hey, without the concurrence of Mr. Webster and his
friends, who are hostile to it; and it will certainly give to
Mr. Clay the " vantage around" in the next scramble for
the Presidency.—Nets' York Herald.
STEAId-BOAT EXPLOSION.—Another steam-boat explo-
sion is reported in the Mobile paperof the 17th inst. The
steam-beat Express burst her boiler on the preceding Sun-
day, in ascending the river Lear St. Stephen's. Five
killed and seven missing.
List of Sufferers.—Drowned—Moses Netherton, barge-
man; William Johnson, deck hand; Wm. Bosworth, do.
Dead—John Langdon, fireman; John (French boy)
cabin-boy.
Badly injured—James Sweeny, second engineer; W.
M. Bagby, second pilot ; Luke M'Guire, passenger.
Injured—Captain J. C. M'Guire, Edwin Anderson,
mate ; E. K. Weaver, steward; deck hand (name unknown).
NIOST MELANCHOLY EUICIHE.—We ►earn that Na-
thaniel Prime, Esq., one of the founders of the house of
Prime, Ward, King, and Co., was found dead in his room
on Thursday afternoon, having cut his throat with a razor.
Mr. Prime lived on the shore of the East River, opposite
Ilurlgate, and was in every Ivey situated as happily as any
man could wish to be. No one knew anything in his
habits, his estate, or the condition of his mind, which was
likely to induce such an act. He was in Wall-street on
the day of his death, and transacted business with his ac-
customed cheerfulness.
Wm. L. M'ICENZIE.—The-Rodister Daily Advertiser
contains a long teport of an examination held before Jus-
tice Wheeler, on the complaint of William L. M'Kenzie
that several persons now or late of Rochester, had con-
spired and agreed upon a plan, in connexion with the per-
sons in charge of the Canadian steamboat Gore, to carry
him by force to Toronto, in order to claim the reward of
1,000/. offered for him by the British Government. Mr.
Cameron, late of the Commercial Bank, Toronto, was re-
presented to be a prime mover in the affair: and in the
coarse of the examination, it being ascertained that he was
still at the Rochester House, a warrant was issued for his
arrest, and he was accordingly brought before the Court,
accompanied by counsel, and gave bail for his appearance
at trial.

Oposnitio pnrtieost!
The " Come Outers," says the Boston Courier, are a
sect recently sprung up, as we understand, on Cape Cod.
Their leading or sectarian views are said to be-Ist. Op-
2d. Opposition to regularly organized
churches. Every one is a church by himself. 3d. A dis-
regard of the Sabbath ; all days are alike. Their object
seems to be to preach against preaching, to organize
against church organizations, and to hold meetings on the
Lord's day to put down the Christian Sabbath.—New
York Times.
/slim ORLEANS, Nov. 17.—Fm.—Yesterday morning,
after our paper went to press, a fire broke out in the store
No. 27, Common-strect, and the flames had reached the
second and third stories of the building before the arrival
of the engines. The spirited exertions of the firemen
arrested the progress of tax flames, and finally extin-
guished them before they communicated to the adjoining
buildings. The loss is estimated at from $lO,OOO to
$15,000. There were three young men sleeping in the
third story at the time the fire broke out, two of whom
were seriously injured in descending from the window.—

hour. It was about ten o'clock at night.
Fort Hanson, about fifteen miles from St. Augustine, was
burnt about three days ago. The troops that were garri-
soning it (volunteers) had not left it but a tew hours be-
fore it was burnt. There were eight distinct tracks dtsco-
vrred around the Fort by the scout who discovered the
place was burnt. One of these tracks was that of a negro,

der ing our people ehout here, headed by Wild Cat, ;dies
