THE CONSPIRACY in LIVERPOOL

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—To-day the prisoners, John
Cuddy and James O'Brien, who have been in custody
for the last few days on a charge of supplying arms to
the Irish rebels, and being in other respects mixed up
with the physical-force repealers, were again placed
before Mr. Rushton and the sitting magistrates, when

The evidence went to prove, in a variety
connexion of Cuddy with the Irish clubs and the leaders
of the rebel party. It exposed an organized system of
correspondence between the Confederate clubs in. Dublin
and those in Liverpool, connecting the prisoner Cuddy
and Dr. Reynolds (for whom Cuddy sold pikes)
with them in their several movements. The fact of Cuddy
being discovered with a bag full of pikes, was followed up
by evidence proving him to have regularly attended the
confederate and club meetings in this town, and the
public meetings generally where Dr. Reynolds was in the
habit of speaking sedition. Other evidence of a
the
corro-
boratory nature was added, which represented the ac-
cused to be prominently mixed up in entire proceed-
ing connected with the intended outbreak.
The evidence having been read over, the prisoner, who
was represented by Mr. Yates, solicitor, of this town, was
asked what he had to say in his defence; when, by the 11
advice of his solicitor, he declined to say anything.
Mr. Rushton then told him that it became his duty to
.commit him to take his trial at the assizes for a treason,-
- able conspiracy, by supplying arms to the disaffected in
Ireland.
The prisoner was then removed in charge of the police,
and the several witnesses bound over to prosecute.
The prisoner O'Brien was remanded until Saturday.
The assizes commence to-morrow; and the trial, which
it is expected will divulge some of the principal designs
of the rebels on this side the Channel, is looked forward
to with much interest.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT NOTTINGHAM.--.
On Monday evening, a rumour was current in this town,
that a young woman, named Frances Green, had been
murdered by her lover, Thomas Hall, a youth of nine-
teen. Upon inquiry, it appeared that the female men-
tioned had sustained a wound in the neck from a pistol
ball, and that Hall (by whom she had had a child) had
been taken into custody. Yesterday (Tuesday), the
prisoner was taken before the borough magistrates, when
he made a statement in effect as follows:—" About half-
past eight last night, I was standing in Cross-street,
when a man came up to ,me and said he was in groat
distress, that he had walked a long way and had no-
thing to eat, and that he should be obliged to go to the
workhouse if be could not obtain some money for a
pistol, which he drew from his pocket. The pistol had
a flint lock; I was not told that it was loaded. After
some conversation, I agreed to give the man eighteen
pence for the weapon. Immediately afterwards I went
to the house of Frances Green; she, her mother, and a
little boy were in when I got there. I took the pistol
from my pocket, showed it to them, and told them how
much I had given for it. I then cocked and snapped it,
when the pistol exploded and proved to be loaded with
ball. The contents entered Frances Green's neck, and
she instantly fell." The prisoner was remanded. The
unfortunate young woman now lies in the hospital in a
very dangerous state, the ball not having at present
been extracted.

PROTECTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY FROM FIRE
—Yesterday forenooa the Secretary of State (Sir G
Grey), accompanied by Lady Grey, the Speaker of the
House of Commons, and a number of the aristocracy,
assembled in the new ground of the London Gas Com-
pany, at Vauxhall, for the purpose of witnessing expe-
riments made with Phillips's Fire Annihilator, and seve-
ral new and valuable improvements in the fire-escape
effected by the inventor, Mr. A. Wivell. The fire-escape
was tested by Mr. Wivell, in a manner perfectly new.
At an elevation of thirty-three feet, a fireman ascended
by a main ladder as it stood, unsupported by a wall,
having the branch pipe and hose suspended by a belt
round him. On reaching the topmost spoke he held it
