THE LATE COUNTESS OF LIVERPOOL.—IIer
Ladyship's suffering had been long and acute.
Her recovery had for some • time been impro-
bable. But her last moments, we understand,
were easy and tranquil—sure anticipation, let us
trust, of that happy exchange she was about to
make of a life of pain and trouble for one of end-
less tranquillity and happiness ! Her Ladyship
was of excellent endowments—her natural talents
had been improved by education, by reading and
reflection ; she . had a clear and comprehensive
mind—a sound and discriminating judgment. It
is always gratifying to contemplate the union of
moral to mental accomplishments ; to find wis-
dom combined with humanity, and the most
elevated rank dignified and adorned by the
purest piety. Her Ladyship's religion was with-
out any bigotry ; her humanity without the least
ostentation ; it was not of that passive kind
which gives only when it is asked—it sought out
and selected its objects with diligence and care
—it relieved them with a secresy and a delicacy
M hich almost doubled the blessings it conferred.
We are quite sure that many persons will only
now, for•the first time, know the source from
whence they were relieved.—Such was the excel-
lent Lady who has just been snatched from so-
ciety which she adorned, and from a husband
whose principal happiness she constituted. He
may truly say," that she never gave her husband
pain but when she died."

MERCHANT TAILORS' SCHOOL.—On Monday
last, after the examination of the youths educated at Merchant
Tailors' School, the Master and Wardens, accurding to annual
custom, proceeded to their Hall to partake of a sumptuous
entertainment. His Royal Highness the Duke of Yonx, the
Duke of WELLINGTON, the Marquess of CiMDEN, and other
distinguished individuals attended on the occasion. Tuesday,
the Anniversary Meeting of Gentlemen who had been educated
at the above Scnool, was held at the Albion Tavern. Between
fifty and sixty sat, down to dinner; JAMES JACNS, Esq., the
Master of the Company, in the Chair. Nothing was wanting to
render the festival completely gratifying ; and the pleasures of
the table, which had been liberally prepared, were highly exhi-
lirated by those warm and_ cordial feelings which revive with
vigour on the renewal of early acquaintance and the recollection
ojuvenile scenes. The Gentlemen continued to a late hour in
the full enjoyment of the occasion, and parted in the hope of
meeting again.

WAGES PAID IN Goons.--On Monday last,
Mr. Lounds Brown, of Wilmslow,. paid the full penalty 0f.201.
and costs for not paying his servants' wages in money, but
compelled them to take goods, contrary to the Act passed in the
first year of George the Fourth. It is the determination of the.
Magistrat?s to punish those who in like manner persist in so
paying their servants. One half of the penalty goes to tl!e in-
foriliant, if not a witness.- He was convicted before the Reve-
rend J. BROWN ands. PARKER; Esq—(Manchester Herald,
June 12.) .

DETERMINED SUICIDE.—An Inquisition was
yesterday taken on the body of Mrs. Ann Notley, who de-
stroyed heiself under very extraordinary circumstances.—The
deceased kept a shop in Green-street, and having been robbed
some time ago, she took it into her head to charge a respectable
Gentleman residing • near Temple-bar, with the offence.. This
Gentleman, was taken before the Magistrate at Union-hall Po-
lice,Office, where the deceased swore the robbery against him
in the most positive terms ; but he clearly proved' an alibi, and
was discharged. He then commenced proceedings against her
for perjury, and a true bill was returned by. the (frond Jury, at
the late Surrey Sessions. As soon as the deceased heard this
fact, she took a large quantity of laudanum ; but by the prompt
exertions of Doctor Evans, she was recovered, and on the fel-

lowing day was arrested on a Judge's warrant on the charge of
perjury. She put in bail before Mr. Justice Hoz.noyn, and
was then set at large. However, she remained quite unsettled
in her mind ever since, and on Monday last, during the absence
of her family, she went out and purchased a large quantity of
very powerful vitriol, which she swallowed. She was imme-
diately seized with the most excruciating pain, which lasted for
several hours, when her inside being compLtely destroyed, she
breathed her last ! There was no evidence to shew that she
was insane, but under all the circumstances, the Jury humanely
returned a Verdict—" That the deceased acme to her death by
her own act, being at the time in a state of temporary mental
derangement."

This day came on, before the High Court of
Justiciary, the trial of David Hag art, accused
of the murder of Thomas Morrin, under jailor,
or turnkey, of Dumfries jail on the 10th of
October last. The pannel pleaded Not Guilty,
and a jury being chosen, the trial proceeded.
