TRADE wan LIVERPOOL.--SCI mended is the steam
navigatinn now between Dublin and Liverpoo', that
low ve.sels arrived within a short time of each other
oo Saturday morning last, viz. the Mona, the Emerald
Ide, the Liffey, and the City of Dublin.
Wednesday, an inquest was held on the body of
Juhr. Vurlor, ger, who was found drowned in the River.
A wontail, ~rho lived with the deceased, deposed, that
a loan, named Sprat', who is now in prison, and against
w snm a wirtant for an assault bad been issued at the
instance of the deceased, told her she might expect her
husband to be brought home on a shutter, and the same
day the deceased was missing ; but the Jury returned
a verdict of Wilful Murder against some person or
et sons unknown.

per
Last night an Inquest was held at the Norfolk Arms
pablic-house, in Leigh-street, Burton-crescent, on the
body of James Highams, who was killed on Tuesday by
sogar•hogshead falling upon him. Dennis Ivers stated,
that be Was waggoner to Messrs. Hicks and Co. mer-
chants, Borough. On Tuesday, about three o'clock in
the afternoon, he was unloading four hogsheads of sugar
and one tierce of coffee, at the shop of Mr. Pratt,
grocer, Judd.rreet. The deceased who was appren-
ticed to Mr. Pratt. was assisting, when, as he was
endeavouring to lower the rail-board_of the waggon to
let down the first hogshead, deceased, supporting the
hogshead with one hand, suddenly -slipped down, and
the cask fell over him. He did not know what caused
the young. man to slip down; he immediately helped
Mr. Pratt and John Crossan to take the body from
under the hogshead. It appeared to be lifeless, and
blood was gushing from the eyes and ears. D:ceased
never spoke or moved after the accident;and was quite,
dead in a few minutes. Crofton Cooper, Esq. a surgeoa,
reeding in Judd-street, deposed that he saw the body
about a quarter of an hour a' ter the accident. Her did
not examine it professionally; but had no hesitation in
!;iving it as his opinion that
•was the undue pressure
oR the head and chest which occasioned death. The
waggoner, upon being further questione.f, said, that he
ad been seven years in the business, and never knew
of an accident happening before. He thought two
men quite enough for the work of unloading a waggon
with sugar hogsheads. It was not customary to sear!
more than one man, the carman, upon such occasions.
The body did nnt exhibit a single mark of external
violence beyond a slight scratch on the cheek. The
f( flowing verdict was returned :—" The Jury return
t!,eir verdict of Accidental Death, and consider it
highly improper on the part of the merchants in not
sending a sufficient number of persons to unload the
waggon, it having been stated in evidence to the Jary
that it is not customary to send more than one man,
viz. the carman, with each waggon, except in cases
nearer home."
• A NOTH an RtIISB•R Stior.—The grounds of Mr. John
Ilartis, •fatmer and market gardener, at Wargrove,
Berks, having been continually of late plund..red of the
most choice produce, and as the depredations were ge!
nerally committed on market.. mornings,- when Mr.
Harris was obliged to be absent from home, he deter-
mined en Monday last to return some hours before his
accustomed time: accordingly, having disposed of his
produce, he left his team under the care of his man,
and en't home by a coach. lle then took a horse
pistol, loaded with small shot, and proceeded to hi..
orchard,.where he found a person in the act of stealing
rears. Tke man, on seeing him, attempted to run off
aid having refused to stop when tailed on so to do, Mr.
Harris discharged his-pistol at him; and from Iris sub-
beTient litrOng, it became evident that he had re
ceived a part of the contents in his back. Mr. Harris
did not pursue him, contented with this summary mode
of puniikamt.

HASTINGS,-SEFT.
During the last 16 years, Hastings his greatly in-
cressttd in size, popUl akin, and importance, as a wa-
tering place. If it be inferior in gaieties and fashion-
able amusements to Brighton, it possesses some advan-
ta:tes, at least, in its bolder, more antique, and verdant
scenery. The achievement of the comprehensive plans
now carrying on about the Castle, including the new
line of London road, which is to run from New Has.
tings to Beauport, will add greatly to the improvement
and convenience of the place. It is remarkable that thii,
ancient town, though it contains two large parishes, and-
the two old Parish Churches, with a population of 6000
persons, has only one Clergyman between the parishes.
The present worthy and venerable Intumbent, the Rev.
W. Whistler, who is now upwards of 70 years of age,
officiates singly in both Parish Churches, discharging
his onerous duties with an ardour and perseverance be-
coming his divine mission.

THE CITY OF LONEWN LITERARY AND

SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION.

The first half-yearly Meeting of the City of London
Literary and Scientific Institution, which was established
for the promotion of useful knowledge amongst the
commercial and professional youth of this metropolis,
was held at Albion Hall, Moorgate, cm Wednesday,
evening. The room was filled with young tradesmen,
merchants, and bankers' clerks, and others connected
with some of the most respectable houses in the City.
C. P. Thompson, E,q. in the Chair. Mr. Stacey, the
Secretary, read the report, which stated, that within
three mouths nearly GOO of the commercial youth of
the City had come forward to form the 'lnstitution,
which, as soon as they could obtain suitable premises
for their lecture room and library, so as to be enabled
to enter into full operation, would doobtless exhibit a
splendid example of the desire existing for mental
cultivation. Upwards of 7001. in donations had been
received from a number of bankers and traders, who
were desirous of encouraging the pursuits contemplated
in the Institution. Other Gentlemen had made dona-
tions of valuable books. A number of literary and
scientific persons had come forward with offers of
gratuitous lectures. Dr. Mitchell, of New Broad-
street, had given two lectures on the use of the globes.
Mr. Black had commenced a course of lectures on the
Paidophilean system of teaching languages. br. Spier
had commenced a course of lectures on physiology.
Mr. Bankes had offered them a course of lectures on
Belles Letsres. Mr.M.lntyre had offered a course on
botany; Mr. James Taylor, on music ; Mr. Crombie,
on the topography of London ; and Mr. Partiogton had
delivered part of a course of lectures on natural and
experimental philosophy. The offers of professors to
teach the languages were highly encouraging. In fact,
by the facilities which their systentof mutual co-opera-
tion offered, the youth of the City would be able to ob-
tain the advantages of an after-education of the highest
order, comprising a knowledge of the sciences, and
of the living and dead languages, calculated to enable
them to fill any situation with honour and advantage to
their falow-citizens. The report concluded with a
strong expression of the obligation under which the In-
stitution considered itself to the liberal and enlightened
part of the public press. Mr. G. W. Prescott, of the
house of l'rescott and Co. (one of the auditors), read a
statement of the accounts of the Institution, from which
it appeared, that after payment of all she first expenses,
there remained a balance of 1,1001. When the Institu-
tion was first projected, they were asked " What the
des ks cared for mental improvement ? What did young
tradesmen care for but money getting, and eating and•
drinking r It was asserted that none could be found
to co-operate. The friends of education could give a
triumphant answer to those objections now. Some
who were wise in their generation had expressed serious
apprehensions as to the consequences of opening the
gates of knowledge or science wide to all corners, as if
good sense, which it was their objact to promote, was
not the best guarantee for a mm's being a good subject,
and performing his duties well in whatever situation he
may be placed. Mr. Elliott moved the thanks of the
Society to Dr. Mitchell. It was carried unanimously.

The old Chapel of Frimley, in the parish of Ashe,
Surrey, anciently connected with the Abbey of Chert.
sey, has been recently pulled down, and a new stone
edifice, on a larger scale, to carry a tower. is now being
erected on the same site, under the•auspices of the Lord
Bishop of.WINCIIESTR/t.
A duel was fought early yesterday, in the Edgeware
I enclosures, between a Mr. NICHOLSON and Monsieur
PIRRAHD., of Chalfont, Herts, in which the latter was
wounded in the wrist in the second fire. The dispute
originated from the dogs of each crossing each other in
the field; and Monsieur's dog having ran in upon a
covey while Mr. isTictioLsoN's dog was at the full
point, he shot at him, and received a written challenge
in the field.
About four o'clock yesterd4y morning, a dreadfpl
uproar was occasioned in Smithfield, upon the removal
of some of the show-booths. A parcel of fellows, evi-
dently thieves, assembled near Hosier-lane, and at-
tacked everybody indiscriminately that passed that way.
Several females had their feelings outraged in the most
disgraceful manner by the ruffians, who tore away their
shawls and bonnets. At length several persons inter-
fergcl, and commenced an attack upon the gang, but
they were overwhelmed by nu others, robbed, and beat
in a shameful manner ; one man was removed in a state
of insensibility, his skull being said to be fractured.—
Several of the ruffians'are in custody. One wiman was
taken to the Hospital, very seriously injured.
Yesterday evening a Coroner's inquest was held, by
Thomas Stirling, EA. at the Cherry Tree, Bowli
green-lane, Clerkenwell, on the body of Frederick
Smith, a fine boy, five years of age, whose death was
occasioned by his falling or rolling off the foot pave-
ment into the carriage road, as three loaded drays
belonging to Messrs. Combe and Delafield were passing.
ender the last of these three drays the deceased fell,
and the wheels going over his body, crushed him in so
(heedful a manner, tharhe died while being carried to
St. Bartholomew's Hospital. By the evidence, it ap-
peared that the drayman,who was driving very steadily-,
and walking by the side of ha horses, did not see the I
deceased, and was not conscious that any accident had
occurred unt I the tbill-horse was startled at the ob-
struction of the Thermid is extremely.natrow,
and the footpath consequently very dairAercus; and by
the evidence of a hackney coachman, flamed Thcmas
Davis, who was driving his• catch, and following t! e
Jrays, it was clear that no fault was atiributable to the
draymap. The Jury havin,.t viewed tl-e body, which
was literally cru bed to a are.', re:Lined a verdict of
Accidental lleat':.
