LATER FROM THE UNITED
STATES.
LIVERPOOL, MARCH 22.
We have to-day received by the ship Sea, Captain Edwards,
New York papers of the ht and 2d inst. The ship Sea sailed on
the 2d in company with the packet ship Oxford (now telegraphed
off the port), the Victoria for London, and the Oneida for Havre,
The papers by this arrival are filled with details of the sad acci.
dent which happened on board the Princeton, of which they contain
some further particulars, but they are not of interest.

The rate of exchange was 109 to 108$, tending downwards.
The tierce debate upon the notice of motion to put an end to the
joint occupation of the Oregon territory was not brought to a con-
clusion. The advocates of the desperate resolution had given up
an hopes that it would be passed,

The House of Representatives, after cancelling on the 28th
their twenty.flfth rule, which recorded the refUsal of the House to
receive any abolition petitions or notices, by a strange act of in.
consistency reinstated the said rule on the roll of the House on the
day following. This small step towards liberal action is thus
quickly, retraced.

The Oxford has just arrived. She left New York on the 3d
(Sunday), but brings papers of the 2d only.

THE WILLS FORGERIES

MANSION-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.)
William Henry Barber, Joshua Fletcher, Thomas GrWin.
Georgiaiza Dorey, and William Saunders, were brought up
to-day before the Lord Mayor, the first four for final exami-
ration, on the charge of the extensive wills forgeries upon
which they have been so often remanded ; and the last
charged, for the first time, with complicity in the alleged
forgeries.
The Lord Mayor entered the court at eleven o'clock, and
immediately took his seat on the bench.
The prisoners were brought in by the officer Forrester, at
half-past eleven o'clock.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Parry for
Barber; Mr. Humphries for Fletcher; Mr. Byard, from the
office of Mr. Flower, for Mrs. Dorey; and a clerk, from the
office of Mr. Harmer, of Bristol, for Saunders.
Shortly after the entrance of the prisoners,
Mr. Clarkson said that Mrs. Saunders had been appre-
hended, but the state of her health was such as to prevent
her being able to commence her journey to London, and as it
was absolutely necessary that the depositions should be read
over, not only to Saunders, her husband, who was present,
but also to herself, as she also was charged with being an
accomplice, he wished to know from any professional gentle-
man who might be in attendance for the prisoners, whether
they had any objection to a remand till Friday next, when
Mrs. Saunders should be present, and the depositions could
be read over to her and her husband at the same time. His
object was to prevent the unnecessary waste of time which
reading the depositions now, and a second time on the produc-
tion in court of 3lrs. Saunders, would involve.
Mr. Humphries had no objection on the part of his client
to adopt the course suggested.
Mr. Harmer's clerk neither had any objection to a remand
till Friday next, or any other day his Lordship might
think fit to oppoint. But he took occasion to complain of the
wretched place in which his client (Saunders) was confined.
It was a small, filthy cell, in which the only seat was a small

The LORD MAYOR said that be believed the prisoner
being confined in that place was in consequence of his desire
to be kept separate from the others, and that there was no
other place where he could be detained. He would, however,
look to the matter.

Saunders, the prisoner, raid that he complained of the
matter to the visiting magistrate, and that the latter had
entered the complaint on the books.
Mr. Byard, for Mrs. Dorey, stated he did not object to the
adoption of Mr. Clarkson's suggestion of a remand.
Mr. Parry did not object either ; but he regretted that
certain parties were not there before his Lordship to-day,
because he would then be able to elicit, more clearly than
he could lay before his Lordship by a mere statement
of facts, that which he considered of very great im-
portance to Mr. Barber's position, in reference to this
inquiry. His Lordship was aware that, when Griffin was
apprehended, a written statement was taken from him,
which was afterwards submitted to his Lordship. If he
(Mr. Parry) were not misinformed, and he hadreason to know ,
that he was not, the prosecution had got a statement from Mrs.
Dorey and Mr. Saunders, in which the latter most solemnly
declared his belief of Mr. Barber's entire freedom from any
guilty participation in those frauds, as far as he (Saunders)
knew. What he (Mr. Parry) now complained of was that
the prosecution published the statements made to them when
it suited their purpose of blackening Mr. Barber's character to
do so, but that they exhibited no desire to bring forward any
such statement as that of Saunders, who, as far as his know-
ledge went, acquitted Mr. Barber of any guilty participation
in the forgeries.
The Loan MAYOR here interrupted the Learned Gentle-
man, and observed that all his present remarks would appear
in the public papers before the trial could take place ; and he
begged him to remember that the parties were not on their
trial before him.

Mr. Clarkson said that Mr. Parry's statements were en-
tirely without foundation.
Mr. Parry (with much warmth)—They are not without
foundation ; and I can prove what I state to be the fact.
Mr. Freshfield, fur the prosecution, said that GI iffin's
statement was made in open Court, and that the statement
of Mrs. Dorey affected his (Mr. Freshfield's) case, which was
not before his Lordship, and therefore it was not read; but
that statement did not remove his impression of Mr. Barber's
guilt. All he (Mr. Freshfield) knew from the officer who
had apprehended Saunders was, that the latter declined
making any statement whatever.
His LORDSHIP then fixed Saturday next, at eleven o'clock,
as the next day of hearing.

QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)
Edward Wyatt, a young man, was charged by Richard
Ricketts with creating a disturbance in a temperance hall in
Lower George-street, Chelsea, and with violently assaulting
the complainant, who is a member of the society. He was
fined 5s , which was paid.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Another attempt was made by a young female, named
Caroline Hillman, to commit suicide this morning, and she
was brought before Mr. Cottingham on the charge.
Police-constable, 48 M, stated, that at two o'clock that
morning, while on duty on Blackfriars'-bridge, his attention
was called to the prisoner, whom he observed lingering about
the Surrey side of the bridge. Believing she meditated self-
destruction, he watched the prisoner for some time, and saw
her run down the steps leading to the water; upon which he
instantly followed, and was just in time to prevent
her from precipitating herself into the river. She
had divested herself of her bonnet and shawl, which she left
on the steps. When taken to the station-house it turned out
that she was an unfortunate woman, and had left her lodging
in the Waterloo-road at ten o'clock the same night to go to
the Victoria Theatre.

The defendant said that she had been drinking and that she
was unconscious of what she did. On promising to abstain
from liquor in future, she was placed in the careof her friends.

WESMINSTER-BRIDGE.—A beautiful design by
Mr. Barry for an iron bridge on the site of the present bridge
has been published. It consists of five elliptical arches, is of
a light and graceful constructure, and is at least fourteen feet
lower than that now in use. The plan for this new
structure is proposed in consequence of the unsafe
and unsatisfactory state of the foundation of the
existing bridge, as well as to improve the navi-
gation of the river and facilitate traffic by lowering the
carriage way. It is said that an iron bridge of this descrip-
tion could be constructed for less than double the amount
that would be required to repair and render secure the present
unseemly structure. The cost has been estimated at 185,0001.,
including the expenses for erecting a temporary wooden
bridge; and it is understood that this sum might be raised
property belonging to the Bridge Corn-
for the most part, if not wholly, upon the security of the
mission.
