UNITED STATES.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.

We have received this evening New York papers
to the 6th inst., being six days later than before,
brought by the
.New York packet ship Patrick
Henry, Captain. Delano, which vessel being detained
off Holyhead by light winds, sent up her letter-bags
and passengers by the Irish mail-boat, which boarded
her. . The news does not possess any feature of im-
portance. The 4th of July being the 68th anniver-
sary of the declaration of American Independence,
was celebrated with great rejoicing and self-glorifica-
tion throughout the cities of the Union. In New
York, the proceedings of the day were marred by
the accidental burning of the Washington Hall, one
of the finest hotels in the lity, and which was tota:ly
consumed, at a loss of 40,000 dollars, of which about
two-thirds was insured. A few other casualties oc-
curred, but, altogether, the day passed off very
joyously.

Very great floods again prevailed upon the Missis-
sippi and its tributary streams, caused by the inces-
sant rain which had prevailed from the 17th to the
24th of June; much damage had been done to growing
crops, as well as to warehoused goods and produce ;
and in some instances lives had been lost. In St.
Louis great distress prevailed amongst those who
were rendered houseless by the calamity.
The Mormon Prophet, Smith, had fled from
Nauvoo to lowa, and peace was therefore likely now
to prevail.

The Britannia arrived at Boston on the 3d, and
the news by her was received at New, York early on
the 4th. It was looked upon very favourably, and
had the effect of advancing the price of stocki, as well
as to cause the cotton market to rally. There had
been little done in foreign exchanges since the
sailing of the steamer, and the rates continued to be
quoted as before.
We give the following outline of the celebration of
the sixty eighth anniversary of Independence, from
the New York Sun :

The anniversary of our nation's . independence was
yesterday celebrated with more than usual demon-
strations of joy and festivity. For many years we
have not seen so large a concourse of citizens and
strangers, and never was greater cheerfulness or better
order maintained.

The day was beautiful. A cloudless sky and a
fresh breeze from the north-west added much to the
happiness of the people.
The little boys, as is their custom, opened the pre-
lude on the preceding evening by the firing of pistols,
crackers, &c., which, with a short intermission, con-
tinued throughout the night and following day. The
earliest riser woke amid a general volley of these
small fire-works, and at sunrise was added the music
of a grand national salute fired from the battery, the
forts, and the vessels of war in the harbour, and the
joy-bells which were rung throughout the city.
Between seven and eight o'clock, the various military
companies, and the Civic and Trade Societies began
to meet at their respective head-quarters, and to form
in procession. The military formed on the battery,
and between nine and ten were reviewed by the Go-
vernor, accompanied by his staff. The Civic and
Trade processions formed in Blea;ker-street, and
marched down Hudson- street,through Chambers-street
to Broadway, where it was met by the military from
the battery. The whole procession, with the military
in front, at twelve o'clock, passed in at the east gate of
the Park, and passed in front of the City-hall in re-
view before the Governor and his staff, who were ac-
companied by Major-Generals Stryker, Pentz, and
Kierstedt, and other officers, and the Mayor and Com--
mon Council. Major Popham, who had just been
elected President of the Order of Cincinatti, in place
of Major-General Lewis, deceased, and several
other members of this Order were present. This
company' stood on the State-house steps ; the
Mayor and the Governor together, with heads un-
covered With the exception of the Governor and
his Staff, they had been in waiting in the Mayor's
room, which was, during the whole morning, crowded
with distinguished citizens and strangers. The
Governor's room —the Mayor's room—the balcony,
and other parts of the City Hall were crowded with
ladies and gentlemen. The park and streets adjacent
were crowded with human beings. The trough bowl
of Croton-Ice-Punch—the park fountain—was,
during the day, surrounded with visitors of both
sexes, who repaired thither to slake their thirst. The
inmates of the city hospital—those who were able—
were out on the grass-plat in front of the building to
watch the procession. Flags waved from the city
hall, old Tammany, the public houses, and places of
amusement ; yet all was quiet and orderly—not a
a booth in the park, nor any scene of disorder or
drunkenness. Thanks to the glorious Washing-
tonian Reformation! and the great Croton Punch
Bowl !

At about a quarter before eleven, while the im-
mense concourse in and around the City-hall were
waiting for, the procession, which did not come up
until twelve, a fire broke out in lashington Hall, at
the corner of Reade-street and Broadway, but a few
rods from the Park. The ringing of the alarm bells,
ascending volumes of smoke, the masses rushing to
and fro, the windows and the roofs of the adjoining
buildings filled with excited and eager spectators,
formed a scene of terrible sublimity. The fire, it is
supposed, originated from one of the chimneys in the
south-east corner of the building, and near the roof.
For nearly an hour, with the exception of that corner
only smoke was seen to ascend from the roof, and the
opinion generally expressed was doubtless correct, that
by the seasonable aid of three or four good engines the
building all but the roof might have been saved: But it
was half-an-hour before the engines came, and the
whole service performed did not exceed what two or-
dinary engines might accomplish. Added to this, the
frequent bursting of the hose, and the delay in
getting water, for they had to go to a distance for
hydrants ; the one in front of the Hall for some cause
or other not having been opened. Had it not been
for the slate tiles of the houses on Chambers-street,
the entire block to Centre-street would probably have
been destroyed. The fire continued for upwards of
two hours, and has left nothing but the bare walls
standing. Washington-hall had just heen thoroughly
repaired and re-decorated throughout, and had the
most elegant and commodious assembly or concert
room in the city. The damage to the Hall is not less
than twenty thousand dollars,
At twelve o'clock the Governor and his suite arrived
at the Mayor's room from the company, and pro-
ceeded to review the military and civic procession in
front of the City-hall. The military consisted of the
three brigades of artillery, with the independent com-
panies attached to them belonging to this city, under
the respective commands of Brigadier-General
Storms, Colonel Vermilye, and Colonel T. F.' Peers.
It would perhaps be deemed invidious to select any
one company for praise, as all made a fine appear-
ance; but we cannot forbear to notice the Italian
Guards and their pioneers. The Jefferson Guards,
the Lancers, the State Fencibles, forming the Go-
vernor s Guards ; the Washington Greys, and the
National Guard—all are deserving of commendaisle
'
notice. When the latter company, under Colonel
Vermilye, passed by Colonel Jones, the High Sheriff,
formerly Colonel of this regiment, could not with-
hold his approbation at their exact and well dis-
ciplined military step. " The boys step well," said he.
From the review in the Park the Civic and Trade
Societies proceeded to Tammany-hall, where the De-
claration of Independence was read by Christian Hen-
shaw, and a glowing and -beautiful oration was pro-
nounced by William Wallace, Esq., who was raptu-
rously applauded throughout the delivery. His theme
was the scenes of our revolution, the leaders in it, and
the cause in which they were engaged.
From General Sanford's the Governor and suite
proceeded to the Tabernacle, where the day was cele-
brated in a beautiful manner by the Independence
Guards. The company received the Governor stand-
ing, the band playing " Hail Columbia." General
Mather presided. James T. Brady, Esq., delivered
the oration. The religious exercises were read by
the Rev. Mr, Giessenheimer. Col. Hillyer read the
Declaration of Independence.

went out well filled with ladies and
gentlemen,
the various excursions. The beau-
tiful The steamboats and railroads (and their number
o
fields of Hoboken were visited by thousands,
was
a llegion),
g io n n
and the olympic exercises of the celebrated Otto
Motty, were witnessed with great delight by a vast
assemblage.
In the evening the city presented a more lively
appearance. All the omnibuses were crowded and
dashing through the streets at a swift rate, some
taking passengers to the Museums, to Castle Gar-
den, to witness the exhibition of fireworks given at
that place; others going to Niblo's, to Washington
Parade Ground, to Tompkin's-square, and to the
Park, at all of which were splendid exhibitions of
fireworks, the three latter at the public expense.
Several accidents occurred from the bursting of
pistols. A man, early in the morning, had his left
hand much injured 0 .ving to placing it over the
muzzle while he attempted to cock it. A fine boy,
named James Cassidy, sixteen years of age, had his
left hand nearly blown to pieces in Cherry-street in
the same way. He went home to dinner, when he
prevailed upon some person in the neighbourhood to
lend him a pistol; soon afterwards he met with the ac-
cident. He was carried to the hospital. One of bis
fingers was blown,entirely off and fell into the street.
A lad named Thomas Weaklain, thirteen years of age,
also had his left hand shattered in a similar manner,
attempting to cock a pistol in the park.

CO I.ONEL STODDART AND
CAPTAIN CON OLL Y.
Captain Grover received on Saturday evening the
following letter :

"Bokhara, May 5, 1844.
"I write this letter in the house of Nayeb Samet
Khan, the chief of the artillery and the arsenal of his
Majesty the King of Bokhara, a sincere and excellent
friend of the British nation, but in the presence also
of his Majesty, the Ameers, Mahrarn (private cham-
berlain), and I write this letter officially by order of
the King of Bokhara, to whom I give a translation,
and therefore confine myself only to the most neces-
sary topics, without comment and without observation.
" On the 29th of April the King stated to me by
medium of the above-named Nayeb, and in the pre-
senee of Mullah Kharsem, the King's Mahram
(private chamberlain), that he had put to death in the
month of Sarratan, 1259 (July, 1842), Colonel
Stoddart and Captain Conolly. The first had been
put to death—firstly, on account of his having treated
royalty with the greatest disrespect on different occa-
sions; secondly, that he had turned Mussulman, and
then returned to the Christian faith ; thirdly, that
he had promised to get letters from England in four
months, by which he would be acknowledged as
ambassador from England, and fourteen months had
elapsed without any answer being received, though
the King had erected japar khans (post-houses) on
his account. And with regard to Conolly, that he
had been put to death for having induced the Khans
of Khiva and Kokan to wage war against the King
of Bokhara, &c.

" His Majesty has given me permission to leave
Bokhara on the 9th May (Friday next). From
Mesched I will write everything more fully, &c.
(Signed) " JOSEPH WOLFF.
" To Captain Grover."

CHINA.
The following brief account from a Correspondent
relative to the new trade with China will be read
with interest:—

" Shanghae is a large city, the walls are about
forty-five miles round, but like all Chinese places, is
very dirty. It has every appearance of being a place
of large trade ; the river which is a fine stream is full
of junks, which are arriving and departing every day,
and it possesses a great advantage from being so near
Nankin and Soo-chow, the latter one of the largest
commercial cities in the Empire, it is said. The
people are very civil (the effects no doubt of the
thrashing they have had), which contrasts strongly
with the behaviour of the Canton men, and the autho-
rities have shown every disposition to meet the wishes
of the Consul—at first they objected to him living in
the city, wanting to keep that sacred as in Canton,
but he insisted on it, and told them if they would not
allow it he should go on board the steamer and return
to Chusan. A good site has been appropriated for
the European residents—it is about three-quarters of
a mile from the city walls, bounded on each side by
creeks with a frontage of about quarter to the river
but without any boundary behind, so that buildings
can be carried as far back as is necessary or con-
venient. The shipping will lay right in front of this
place, and the Custom-house being there also, it will
be convenient for business. The country all round is
flat, in fact, there is not a hill in sight from Shanghae
or Woosung, but I cannot see why it should be so
unhealthy as is generally represented, for in the
neighbourhood of the city it is principally dry wheat
and cotton land. When we have comfortable houses to
live in I hope we shall find it quite as healthy as Can-
ton, for the situation does not appear to me to be worse,
if so bad.

" Large quantities of cotton are exported from
Shanghae principally, I believe, to the more southern
provinces ; it has also a considerable trade with Japan,
I am told.

" I have also visited Ningpo, which is a much
larger and handsomer city than Shanghae; it contains
some of the best streets and finest shops I ever saw in
China, but there is not that bustle arid appearance of
trade that there is at Shanghae, although its traffic
must be considerable; the river Tai-hae is not such a
large stream as the Woosung, and although there are
many junks moored between Chin-hae and Ningpo,
the bulk of them appear to be of a smaller class than
those I saw at Shanghae.

SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A SUSPECTED MURDER.
—Some few weeks ago, as a man, assisted by his son,
was digging turf in a lonely part of Longton Moss,
near Preston, he discovered the remains of a human
body under the following circumstances :—ln the
course of his labours, he came to a spot of ground
which had long been called the " grave," from the
peculiar form and appearance of the grass growing
over it being in the shape of a grave, and the sods
upon it much more verdant than the surrounding
vegetation. When he had put his spade down among
the turf, and was working it about to loosen the mass
of soil which he wished to dislodge, he encountered
something that obstructed his operations, which he
thought was an accumulation of matted sticks, frequently
found in turbaries. It proved, however, to be hair, and
a human skull which he had just thrown out was
covered with long tresses. He then became aware that
he had opened the resting-place of a fellow-creature,
and in the breast of the earth which his labours
had cleared the traces of a body were apparent. All
was decomposed, except some of the larger bones ;
but where the head and neck had lain the earth was
of a different colour, as though it had been soaked
with blood. The remains were most of them collected,
and removed to a neighbouring house, where the
hair was washed, and found to be of a very dark colour.
The singularity of the occurrence caused 'no small
talk in the district, and various were the surmises offered
to account for it, in the course of which the fol-
lowing statement was gatheredt which appears the most
probable one, and which is submitted in hopes that it
individual
by perhaps, lead to a discovery of the
by whom the crime has been perpetrated : About
twenty-two years ago, during the summer months, a
man and a woman, both of whom were strangers, were
seen one Sunday on the Moss, in company together ;
and, by their appearances and behaviour, attracted the
attention of the country people, who thought they were
" courting." The evening was calm, and at midnight a
respectable inmate of Sod-hall, which was the nearest
house to the spot, was awoke from her sleep, by loud
and piercing shrieks at some distance. She opened the
window to listen, and heard a woman screaming, in an
agonised manner, " Spare my life ; do not murder me 1"
All then was hushed, nor did she hear anything further.
A few days afterwards a red shawl was found near
the place, which was recognised as being the one
worn by the woman who was seen on the previous
Sunday, and some one remarked an appearance on
the moss as though the sods had been removed. Some
slight inquiry was made by the constable, but the place
was unopened, nor was further notice taken of it until
some years after, when the grass had grown so verdantly
over it, and it was so singularly formed, as to acquire
the name of" the grave !" and sods were frequently cut
from it on account of their being better than any near
it. The ground, when dug into, was still looser than the
surrounding earth, as moss soil, when once disturbed, is
a long time before it again becomes firmly bound toge•
ther.—Preston Chronicle.

ART-UmoNs BTLL.—Lord Monteagle's Bill, en-
titled "An Act for Legalizing Art-Unions," has beep
brought down from the House of Lords, for the
consideration of the lower branch -of the Legis-
lature. It enacts that all art-unions, and all mem-
bers, contributors, subscibers, and officers thereof,
and persons acting for them, or on their be-
,half, shall be discharged and freed from all suits and
prosecutions, liabilities, pains, and penalties to which
by law they might be liable, as being con-
cerned in lotteries, little goes, or unlawful games,
for anything done, or which may be done by them
herebefore, or before the Ist day of January next, touch-
, ing the purchase of any such or other works of art, or
the sale or distribution thereof by chance or lot. Pro-
, vision is made by the second clause for the regular es-
tablishment and regulation of such associations by royal
charter, to be granted on the appt.oval of the Board of
'Trade and PlantatiOns.

/ FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.
BRUSSELS, JULY 25.—The ilioniteur of this day
publishes=
Ist. The law relative to the differential duties.
2d. A Royal resolution, fixing the tariff on tobacco.
3d. A Royal decree for the general execution of the
law and the differential duties.
4th. A Royal decree relative to the assimilating
of the flag of the United States to the Belgian flag.
sth. A Ministerial order relative to the restitution
of duties on certain kinds of wood.
The Government in publishing the law on the dif-
ferential duties has immediately made use of the pre-
rogative given to it by an article of that law. The
6th article empowers to assimilate, by a Royal de-
cree, to the national flag, the flags of those nations
which import direct from the countries to which
they belong the productions -of Asia, Africa,
and America. The flag of the United States
is now placed on an equality with that of Belgium
in regard to tonnage, pilotage, and all other port
duties and charges whatsoever. The decree declared
that cedar and ebony wood, cotton, wool, tobacco of
Virginia, Maryland, and other parts of the United
States, rum, pearl ash, potash, rice, whale and seal
oil, shall be considered as productions of the
United States. With respect to other articles, which
shall be represented as productions of the United
States, proof must be given of their origin in the
form fixed by the decree which regulates the execu-
tion of the law on the differential duties.
The King and Queen will leave Neuilly on the
27th, and are expected at the palace of Lacken on the
28th of this month.
The improvement of the communication with Eng-
land is on the point of being realised. We are in-
formed from Ostend, that the new line of
steamers between Dover arid Ostend will -com-
mence their service on Monday, 29th instant. The
steamers will be provided by the English South-
Eastern Railway Company, but our Government, as
it seems, is to bear the expense. The news is every
moment expected from London that the postal con-
vention with England is signed. M. Bareel brought
the negotiations as near as possible to a conclusion.
The requisite full powers have been sent to M. Van
de Weyer to terminate them. We forgot to mention,
when we first spoke of this convention, that the transit
of letters from England to Germany, and vice versa
through our territory, was fixed at a rate sufficiently
advantageous to our office, that this line might be
adopted for the conveyance of the overland Indian
mail, which now passes through France by way of
Marseilles, but would then pass by way of Trieste.
AMSTERDAM, JULY 24.—His Majesty the King has
returned direct from Luxembourg to Holland. An
indisposition, which happily has proved but slight,
prevented his Majesty from visiting Maestricht.
The accounts from Luxembourg continue to relate
in detail the proofs of loyalty and affection with
which his Majesty has been welcomed in all parts of
the Grand Duchy through which he passed.
THE HAGUE, JULY 24. We learn that the King
has gone from Luxembourg to Coblentz, and intends
to come by the steam-boat to Rotterdam. His Ma-
jesty is expected at the Hague to-morrow or the next
day.

COMPLETION OF STONE-BUILDINGS, LINCOLN'S
INN.—These builtmagnificentchaimthbreresr,tlned to
sbynSe,irbßeionbgeLt
Taylor, and entirely faced w
present deficient of their southern wing, are forthwith
to be completed. To such persons as are not ac-
quainted with this well-known pile, we merely intimate,
that they are externally of the Corinthian order, and
arc (some details excepted) by all persons, except
those who originate or follow the bad criticism of the
day, much to be commended : as seen from the ex-
treme length of Lincoln's Inn-fields (over the beautiful
terrace now cut up for the erection of the new Hall and
other buildings, and the wall of which is celebrated for
containing some workmanship from the very hand of
" Rare Ben Jonson"), the pearl-like effect of their
beautiful stone throws into shade every competing ob-
ject ; their simple, plain continuity, surmounted by
the richer, though still plain, entablature of the order,
shows how superior an effect plain, bleached, enduring
masonry has to frippery, falsely called architecture. A
little further on may also be seen the equisito Portland
stone masonry of the upper pail of the great gable of
Lincoln's Inn ettspo ; which, contrasting with the
wretehal clay-plciuredstueco, With which nearly all the
remainder of that building was some years since lavaded,
puts the right-minded in ga almost fixed humour to for-
§PT the usg of all other materials.—Builder.

IRELAND.
• ARRIVAL OF LORD HEITESBURY.
DUBLIN, Jucv 26.—The weather, which had been all yes-
: terday and la.t night wet-and cheerless, eh ared up yester-
day, and at, an early hour tPe leading thoroughfares to the
Castle were well filled by crowds of respectable persons
• anxious to witness the entrance and reception of the suc-
cessor of Lord de Grey. At half past ten the streets were
• lined by the troops in garrison, extending from Cork -hill to
the railway station at Westland-row. The scene at this time
was rather animated, aided in some measure by the music of
the respective military bands and peals of joy bells from the
cathedrals of Christ Church and St. Patrick's. The prome-
nade jetty at Kingstown, which was selected as the place of
debarcation, was thronged from an early hour with numbers
of the most respectable of our citizens. The harbour itself
presented a.most animated appearance, the revenue cruisers
having all their flags flying and thei r yards manned. A pas-
sage, enclosed by ropes and lined by a detachment of the
Royal Marines, was formed from the jetty to the railway ter-
minus, to ensure an unobstructed passage for his Lordship
and suite, who, it was arranged, should proceed to town by
the Dublin and Kingstown Railway. A guard of honour, consist-
ing of tlie light company of the 16th Regiment, and the band of
the same corps were in attendance for the purpose of assisting
in the ceremonial of his Lordship'sreception. About ten o'clock
the Merlin, Admiralty steamer, the vessel chosen for the
conveyance of Lord Heytesbury to our shores, arrived at the
entrance to the harbour; but the hour fixed for the recep-
tion of his Lordship at Kingstown by the authorities being
eleven o'clock, the interval was occupied in cruising about
the bay, thus affording to his Lordship an opportunity of
viewing its almost unrivalled scenery under extremely fa-
vourable circumstances. Shortly betbre eleven o'clock the
Merlin entered the harbour under a salute fro.nt the guns of
the Shamrock and Kite revenue cruisers, and immediately
came to her moorings alongside the jetty, amid the enthusi-
astic cheering of the assembled multitude. The Earl of
Donoughmore and Mr. Frederick Shaw, the two Privy Coun-
cillors appointed to receive his Lordship, immediately pro-
ceeded on board. They were accompanied by the SPlicitor-
General, the Dean of Ossory, Colonel Bowles, and several of
the aides-de-camp and officers of the household, and, havins,
congratulated Lord Heytesbury on his safe arrival, signified
to his Lordship that the Lords Justices were ready to receive -
him at the Castle. his Lordship then landed, attended by •
the above-mentioned personages and, amid the continued
cheering of the vast crowd winch had assembled, proceeded
to the railway station, where a special train was in waiting
to convey him and the cortege by which he was accompanied,
to Dublin. His Lordship appeared to be in the enjoyment
of most excellent health, and acknowledged, in the most
courteous and most dignified manner, the cordial
greetings which were tendered to hint as he passed
along. At a quarter past eleven o'clock the train
started from Kingstown, and reached Westland-row in
nine minutes. At the various points along the line where a
glimpse of the train could be caught, groups of the country
people had assembled, loudly cheering as it passed. Upon
his arrival at Westland-row, his Lordship was received with
repeated acclamation by a numerous body of nobility, gentry,
and citizens, and was met by the Lord Mayor, accompanied
by the Aldermen and Town-Councillors of the borough, who
congratulated his Lordship upon his appointment and safe
arrival, and tendered the keys of the city, to him, which
were graciously returned. • .In-Westland-row a detachment of
the Ist Royal Dragoons was stationed, who received his
Lordship with the usual military honours, and formed his
escort to the Castle. His Lordship having entered his car-
riage, accompanied by the Earl of Donoughmore and Mr.
Frederick Shaw, proceeded to the Castle by Leinster-street,
Nassau-street, Grafton-street, College-green, Dame-street,
&c., which were lined with the troops lying in garrison, who
presented arms, the bands playing " God save the Queen," as
his Lordship's carriage passed their respective corps. The
procession was headed by the Commander of the-garrison and
staff; and Lord Heytesbury's carriages were followed by a
considerable number of those belonging to the noblemen and
gentlemen subsequently- presented to his Lordship at the
Castle. The streets through which the procession passed
were densely thronged, and the manifestations of applause
from the respectably-dressed portion of the populace were
very frequent, intermingled, however, by counter cheers for
repeal and Mr. O'Connell.

'Upon his arrival at the Castle, Lord Heytesbury was re.
ceived by the Gentleman Usher, and conducted to the Pre-
sence; Chamber, where their Excellencies the Lords Justices
received his Lordship, sitting covered under the canopy as
Chief Governors.
After the usual ceremonies, his Lordship was sworn into
office, the oaths having been previously administered by the
Archbishop of Dublin and Chief Justice Doherty. During
the progress of this ceremonial, the ordnance at the Park
fired a salute of 21 gnus' which, at the conclusion, was an-
swered by three volleys from the infantry drawn up in Dame-,
street and College-green.
His Excellency then held an undress levee, when th 4 fol-
lowing personages were presented :—The Earls of liandon,
Donoughmore, Clonmel, Charleville, Clancarty, and Meath ;
the Archbishop of Dublin, the Bishops of Meath. and Kildare,
Privy Councillors; Lord Chief Justice Doherty, who came
up from circuit to receive his Excellency, and administer one
of the oath's of office; Sir Edward Blakeney, the Master of
the Rolls; Lord Downes, Lord Clarina, Lord Tullamore,
Right Hon. Frederick Shaw,_Right Hon. T. F. Kennedy,
Major-General Wyndham, the Solicitor-General, the Judge
of the Prerogative Court, the Dean of Ossory, Sir Lucius
O'Brien, Sir R. Shaw, the High Sheriff' of the city, Right
Hon. Arthur Moore, Sergeant Howley,- Archdeacon Monsen,

Rev. 11. E. Prior, Col. Lewis, Town-major White, G. F.
Brooke, Esq., Dr. Hatcliell, &c.
At
re-fo the conclusion of the levee; the procession having been
rmed, his Excellency retired, and at a few minutes past
one o'clock took his departure from the Castle for the Vice-
regal Lodge, in an open carriage, the same in which.he made
his entrance, drawn by four grey horses, and accompanied by
two aides-de-camp, but unattended by any military escort.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN A MILL
Last evening., at the Manchester R-oyal Infirmary,
Xtr. Chapman held an inquest on the body of a young
woman, named Frances Kenyon, rdreteen years of age,
whose death was occasioned by injuries received from
machinery, in the mill of Messrs. Watkin an&hees,
cotton spinners, Dukinfield.
Robert IVrigley,-overlooker in the mill, stated, that
'he deceased was a weigher in the blowing room, and
had been employed in the mill about eightee:n months.
On the afternoon 'of the 17th instant, wit;tess was re-
pairing one of the blowing machines at which the de-
ceased- was employed, when, hearinx a shriek, he
looked round, and saw her with her left hand fast be-
tween two cog-wheels attached to• the same machine.
lie threw the wheels out of geer as soon as possible
and liberated her ; after which Mr. Orme, surgeon,.
dressed her injured hand, and next day she was con-
veyed to the infirmary. She was the only person
blameable, as she had nothing to do except to weigh the
cotton for the person feeding with it. The wheels were
not boxed off, though they easily might be. There
were none boxed off in the room. Four or five years
ago a female was caught in the same manner, and died
in the infirmary. 'There had been new machinery put
up since then, and the new was more dangerous,than the
old.

Jane Pollitt, a female employed in the same mill,
stated that the deceased was caught whilst cleaning the
machinery, which she had no right to do until it had
stopped. It was nearly tea time when the accident hap-
pened, and.the deceased was in a hurry to get to her tea.
Her duty was to clean the machinery when it stopped at
tea time.
Mr. Tomlinson, house surgeon to the Infirmary, stated
that the deceased was admitted on the forenoon of the
18th instant. The fore finger of her left hand had been
amputated, and there was compound fracture, of the
middle and laceration of the two other fingers. Lock-
jaw' ensued on the 23d, and she died on flu', morning of
Thursday last. The injuries to the hand *were the cause
of death.

The Coroner said, in this case, he 'conceived the jury
would have to lay a deodand upon site machinery. lie
did not know that very large deodr,nds were of any great
service. The main object of imposing deodands was to
make it compulsory upon parties to place their machinery
in such a state as not to be dangerous to the people em-
ployed about it.

Several of the jurors expressed a strong opinion as to
the impropriety of allowing the machinery to remain un-
covered ; and eventually a verdict of "Accidental death"
was returned, accompanied with a deodand of 101. upon
the machinery.—Manchester Guardian of Saturday.

•
FATAL PRIZE FIGHT.—DISGRACEFUL CONDT:ftT OF
FATHER.—On Tuesday an inquest was held at N'irthamp-
ton, on the body of Frederick Fitzhugh, who lost, his life in
a pugilistic encounter with a man named Cumbeipatch, com-
monly known in that part of the country as DO4 ratch. The
fight took place on the day previously, nest' Merry's Close.
It appeared from the evidence adduced ;:',fat Mr. Smyth, a
magistrate, interfered to prevent tho 'right, but without
success, having been pelted away bri the mob. The men
fought for an hour; once they left ell', somebody having said
that the police were coming. Fi!ahugh at that time went
away, and remained about six or seven minutes. He then
returned, the fight was renv,ved, and they fought about four
rounds more. In the last 'round the head of deceased struck
against the ground, Kid he could not get up. He was
removed and seated against the railings. From thence he
was about to be taken to the infirmary, when a body of men
came up and took him away by force. The father of the de-
ceased was, present, but did not interfere ; ir, fact, he scolded
corpse
deceased his wife for being in trouble about her son 1;:oing to fight, and
llulltW arm-in-arm with others to form the ring. Several
bringof atlliitioe emdfaeetehheieasr
deceased
dofn thel
was
taken to the
Milkmaid public-house, in Kettering-road, after the fight
eceasd hadner
than he should give in.
•
said, e4lll. at witnesses
h ee s swouldwore
was over; he was then fast dying, and expired shortly after-
wards. The father, on being called upon by the Coroner to
"
say what he had to offer in explanation of his disgraceful con-
duct, declared that he had been against his son's fighting, but
refused to sign the written statement to this effect. It did
not appear that the men had had any quarrel, but that
they had fought for 10s. a-side, in order to decide which was
the better man. The Coroner, in summing up, told the jury
that they would have to consider whether the fight had
been a prize-fight or not; if it had been, the seconders, and.
all who were present, would be participating in the offence.
If parties were engaged in an illegal transaction, and death
ensued, the offence was murder : if, therefore, they should
find that the deceased came to his death by blows received
from Cumberpatch in a prize-fight, they would return a,
verdict of murder against him, and against the backers and:
other defendants, as principals in the second degree. Tkey
accordingly returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against
Daniel Cumberpatch, Samuel Braines,' William Coopra, and
Joseph Page (who are:not in custody), and John Fitjthwgh—
the father—Charles Coles, Edward Lenton, and Henry King
(who are in custody.)"—Abridged from the Northampton
Mercury.

BIDEFORD.—About three months since three
chimney-sweeps sold sixty bushels of soot to a migh-
bouring farmer for 255., each party being very well satia•
tied ith the bargain. Some days after it was di4covered
that the gentlemen of the black robe had adult
gated the
soot with three sacks of very dry sawdust. 'The farmer,
however, is convinced that his crop of turnips is greatly
improved by the sawdust, as it materially contributed to
the passing the manure through the dri:tl ; and as the
vegetation of the sc,led looks most prop;.tious, the circum-
stance promisea to prove a valuable trial of the virtues of
the chirilney and saw-pit.—West Eriton.
It is understood that Dadd, 'who in so shocking a
manner murdered his father in r,Aibliam-park, will not be
brought from Paris in time to he put on his trial at the pre-
sent assizes for the county of Kent. He will, therefore, be
centined'in Maidstone Gaol tutil the next assizes.— Observer.
