THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL.

His Lordship's medical attendants had a long consulta-
tion this morming, which lasted an hour and a half. At a
quarter before two o'clock the following bulletin was
issued :

" Fife House, Feb. 26.
" Lord Liverpool continues much the same as he was yester
day. His Lordship has passed another good night."

The business in Parliament, last night, was of great
importance. Lord WHARNCLIFFE, in the House of Lords,
introduced two Bills to remedy the evils produced by the
Game Laws, but we must refer our readers to his Lord-
ship's able Speech for the details.

In the House of Commons, the MASTER of the ROLLS
brought forward his motion for leave to bring in a Bill to
alter and amend the practice of the Court of Chancery,
founded upon the Report of the Chancery Committee.
The speech of the Right Honourable Gentleman was
received with marked approbation by the House, but
Mr. MICHAEL ANGELO TAYLOR thought that he did not
go far enough in his reform. Mr. BROUGHAM made a
very long speech, but not so much on the abuses of Chan-
cery as an attack of the LORD CHANCELLOR himself. To
this tirade Mr. PEEL made a very eloquent and very
satisfactory reply, vindicating the character of his
Lordship from the ungenerous aspersions thrown upon
it. In fact the Right Hon. Gentleman quoted the
highest praise on the character and ability of his Lord-
ship from the very speeches of his opponents. It is

admitted on all hands that a speedy Reform in the
practice of the Court of Chancery is absolutely necessary,
but then in discussing the propriety of that reforin, Gentle-
men should confine themselves to the subject, and not go
out of their way to indulge personal spleen or party feelings
by attacks on the character of the LORD CHANCELLOR.

We are compelled, by the great length of the Debates,
o omit several Articles, which shall be given to-morrow.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.
Little business is doing this morning in the British Funds ;
th,, chief employment has been in paying and receiving differences,
this being pay day. It was whispered late in the afternoon of
yesterday that a very heavy and unexpected failure had taken
place; a gentleman was mentioned who had been a large dealer in
options and connected with Lotteries, however, we find upon en-
quiry, that no declaration has taken place, and the affair, it is said,
has been wound up by a handsome composition being accepted by
his creditors. The first price of Consols, both for money and ac-
count, was 824 4, and the only alteration is to 824 ?,:; India

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.

We copy the following lamentable circumstance from, the
Westmeath Journal:—
MELANCHOLY AND LAMENTABLE EFFECT ?ROOT:CEO FROM
THE ATTACK OF TUE ROCKITES ON GITAGGAN CASTLE.-With
deep regret we have to state, that ever since the murderous attack
of the Rockites on George Longworth, Esq., and his family, an
evident aberration of his mind and faculties has been observable,
and which daily increased ; on Monday morning last, while in a
state of mental derangement, he procured a carabine, went into
his garden, and discharged el, • contents of it through his
head. It is a melancholy fact, though some of the work-
men were spectators of this dreadful act, no attempt was
made to prevent it, although we have been informed that the
carabine missed fire the first time. This melancholy transaction
is most sincerely regretted, particularly in the neighbourhood
where Mr. Longworth resided. A Coroner's inquest sat on the
body, and after a minute examination of witnesses, returned a ver-
dict, " That Mr. Longworth committed the above act, while
under a fit of insanity." While the inquest was sitting, the
cellar was broken open and robbed ! ! !
Remarking, just by the way, the usual good feeling of the
Westmeath Journal, in heading the article " the attack of the
Rockites," plainly in order to give a political character to crimes
which originated in the desire of plunder, not the feelings of party.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-FEB. 26.

An amazing deal of heavy betting took place yesterday, but
without being very influential on the odds generally. Some of
the St. Leger horses, however, were affected by it, for Re-
viewer can hardly be called first favourite. If the present mild
weather continues, we may look for more important alterations, as
the horses will be enabled to take their trials. We give the odds.

The Epsom Coursing Matches commence to-mor-
row, and will be continued for the two following days. If the
weather should turn out favourably, some excellent sport is ex-
pected.

KING'S THEA TR E.—The well-known opera of
Turco in Italia, by Rossini, was performed last night, at this
Theatre, on which occasion Madlle. Fanny Ayton made her ap-
pearance as Fiorilla. Her conception of the character was good,
and her musical science told well in the concerted pieces. In
fact, she has most of the requisites for a first-rate vocalist. Signor
de Begnis made an animated Geronimo, and Zuchelli and Curioni
distinguished themselves in their respective character of the Turk
and Cavalier Servente.

The reading Public are resolved not to be deprived
of the charm of Scotch Novel reading. While the " Great Un-
known" is busy with History, others are following his footsteps
with no small success. The demand for the WOLFE OF BADENOCH
has been so considerable, as to call for a new edition, which we
understand is now on the way from Edinburgh.

DEATH OF DR. KITCHENER.—We have just
heard of the death of Doctor Kitchener, the most refined and
scientific of Gastronomists. It seems that he died on Tuesday
morning, after an evening passed at Mr. Braham's. He was a
pleasant, showy, and superficial man, and had invariably reduced
to practice every theory that he broached on the subject of eating.
If apothecaries would do the same with their nostrums, their
patients would be no losers, though they, perhaps, might.

SIMPLICITY.—The Piper of an M.P. for a Nor-
thern County applied the other day at the General Post Office to
inquire where a brother in the profession was to be found. He
was much surprised at their not knowing whom_ he meant, even
when he stated that it was Mackay, Clanronald's Piper, whose
address he sought.

The following is a copy of the letter addressed to
Mr. French by Sir F. Burdett, enclosing a donation of 100/. :.
Sir—lmpressed with a due sense of your noble conduct, in re-
ceiving into your own family, another family of orphan children,
who, but for you, or some like you--and where could he have
been found ?--must have probably perished, I beg your accept-
ance of the enclosed, both as a testimony of my admiration and
esteem, and as contributing to your success in trade, and in some
degree aiding your benevolent purpose. I beg you will observe,.
Sir, that you are to employ my contribution for your own advan-
tage, convinced as I am, that there can be no other way of ern,
ploying it so much to the advantage of the unfortunate children,
to whom you have so generously afforded an asylum. I remain,
Sir, with the highest esteem, your most obedient humble servant,
(Signed) F. BURDETT.
St. James's-place, Feb. 19.

On Sunday night, the house of Mr. Thomas, No.
17, Vassal-road, was broken int.- by thieves, who managed to
strip the premises of a quantity of valuable property, consisting of
plate and clothes. The same night another house in Vauxhall-
street was entered, and robbed of a quantity of wearing apparel.
