ANOTHER CASE OF STABBING.

Thomas Dutton stood charged with inflicting a serious
wound on a sailor, the effects of which were such, that he
was taken to the infirmary, and was yet in too precarious a
state to be removed. The following is an outline of the
facts :—lnspector Walker stated, that on Sunday morning,
about one o'clock, he heard a scuffle in Great George's-street,
and on going up found the prisoner on the ground. Another
witness saw the prisoner draw a knife and make a cut at the
neck of the injured party. Another said, he was going
along with his brother, the person whose neck was cut ;
another friend, carrying a quadrant and other articles (his
brother being on the eve of going to sea,) when the prisoner
came up and hustled his brother off the pavement. A. re-
monstrance was made, and the police appeard, when the pri-
soner dropped behind. When, however, they had passed
the police the prisoner again came up, and began as before
to stagger against his brother a second time. A slight
scuffle again ensued, when his brother cried out, " Oh 1 am
cut!" It was necessary to procure immediate surgical aid,
which the inspector assisted them to obtain. The patient
was finally taken to the Inihnia.y,- Iv lir ehe remains. The
prisoner, as a matter of course, was remanded.

SPREE OF A JACK TAR.

Hugh M`Mullen, a good natured looking sailor, was
placed at the bar, on a charge of not paying the sum of 6s.
due by him to a Carman, whom he had hired to carry him
and his chest, &c. up and down the streets and quays, for a
space of upwards of four hours. The driver had Nken him
from place to place, according to his directions, calling at
several lodging houses where he was known, but where they
would not receive him. Jack was half seas over, and the
ports were all closed against him. The Carman, however, it
appeared, had taken care of him, and finally got him to an
anchor. Jack wished to pay only 3s. for which he inti-
mated he had bargained for the cruise, but when the distance
Was explained to him, and the time occupied, he agreed to
pay the demand if the magistrate thought it was right. Mr.
Rushton ruled accordingly, and Jack, having stumped up,
was released.

By Messrs. WINSTANLEY and SONS,
On THURSDAY, the 18th day of April next, at Twelve o'clock
at noon, at the Clarendon-rooms, South Jobn-street, in
the following or such other lots as shall by agreed on at the
•
time of sale :
THE very valuable PROPERTY of ir the late WILLIAM
LIGHTBODY, Esq., situate on the east and west sides
of Vauxhall-road, and within the township of Liverpool.
It is proposed to divide the land to the westward of Vaux-
hall-road into 12 lots, two of which will front Vauxhall-road,
and extend thence to the canal, by which they are bounded
on the west, the other ten lots are on the north and south
sides of an intended street, 15 yards wide, running from
Vauxhall-road to Great Howard-street, and all have a front-
age to that street, except one, which fronts a parallel street
14 yards wide, and some of the lots have also a front to
other good streets, as shown in the plan.
The lots vary in quantity from 3,910 to 11,140 square
yards, and the plans, with the printed particulars, will shovi
their dimensions and relative situation.
One of the two lots between Vauxhall-road and the Canal,
has been lately inclosed with a very good wall, and contains
4,031 square yards, or thereabouts, the other about 2,694,
but is unenclosed.
The land to the eastward of Vauxhall-road is proposed to
be divided into seven lots, of which three have fronts to
Vauxhall-road, and to streets leading from thence to Scot-
land-road, and the boundaries and dimensions of the whole
appear in the plans and printed particulars before mentioned.
These lots are of various contents, from 2,148 square Yards,
to 12,170, or thereabouts.
The whole property is Freehold of Inheritance. It is con-
veniently situated in a very populous neighbouihood, and is
admirably adapted for manufactories and works of any de-
scription,the canal affording great facilities for the conveyance
of raw materials, manufactured goods and coals in any quan-
tities, and as wanted. Arrangements may also be made for
a supply of water.
Several extensive Works, including a large Cotton Mill,
have been erected in the neighbourhood and a little further
from the town.
Further information may be bad from Messrs. LACES,
CLAY, and MYERS, Attorneys, Castle-street, and Plans,
with printed particulars, will be ready for delivery at their
Office, on and after Monday next.

FROM NOVA SCOTIA.

We have the Halifax Times of the th instant, and a letter
from our correspondent of the same • date. In the Times is
published a number of the despatches from the Colonial
Office which have caused so much dissatisfaction, and have
been the subject of such sharp comment in the provincial
legislature. We do not understand precisely the nature of
"the points in dispute, but so far as we can discern the diffi-
culty seems to be that the home government persists in shap-
ing its policy by the advice and information it receives from
a few prominent individuals in the province with whose no-
tions those of the majority in the legislature are considerably
at variance. The Times, which is conservative or tory, ac-
cuses the assembly of radicalism.
The debate on the despatches was still in progress, and
with no decrease of vehemence or acrimony.

Considerable injury had been caused in various parts of
the province by the heavy rains, which occasioned freshets
in the rivers, &c.
The frigate Crocodile arrived at Halifax, on the 3rd, from
Barbadoes, with two companies of the 69th regiment ;, also
the Inconstant, from Cork, with detachments of that regi-
ment and the 37th.

Our correspondent writes that the harbour was then frozen
over, and people were crossing over to Dartmouth—a circum-
stance which has not occurred since 1833. The schooner
Mary Ann, Archi mld, for New York, is cleared, but cannot
get to sea in consequence of the ice.—New York Spectator,
Feb. 25.

SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED,
A,RTIFIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED
WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.
And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum.

MoNs. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect•
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver.
pool avid its vicinity, that.they have opened an Establishment
permanently at No. 70, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the
least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in
an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell
into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
the breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or
giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an-
swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation,
remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken
out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility
at the following Paris charges :
A single Artificial Tooth
A complete Set
A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine
' gold plate
An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal-
lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually
charged 40 guineas
Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.
Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth,
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original
state. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays
from Nine till Two.

THE CANADA TROUBLES.

The incursions and maraudings are over for the present,
and all is still as death on the frontier. The rascals who
committed the outrage at Caldwell's manor have not been
given up by our government, and if Mr. Van Buren can
avoid it, he never will give them up ; the affair is at present
entirely in his hands.
Since the Canada troubles began this last time at Prescott,
the British have taken 780 prisoners and sent them to King-
ston, Montreal, and London. Of this number a few have
been discharged, several sent to England, and 34 have been
executed :

ance of animation noticed in our last continued up to yester-
day, throughout which the transactions were :tzain only to a
limited extent. A very considerable portion of the sales
during the week havebeen for exportation; prices, also, have
remained without material variation, and may now be con-
sidered the same as previous to the arrival of the Great
Western ; a trifling reduction, which in some instances im-
mediately succeeded the receipt of her advices, having since
been entirely regained. Freights may be considered very
good ; vessels fill up very readily, and throughout the season
they have been quite as favourable here as at the South.

DAY, TEXAS.

Sept. *3oth, 1839.
BROTHERS,--I have committed an act that has rid me of
all worldly miseries:- Oh, what I have endured these last
six months ! I can never think of again going through so
much horrible misery, and all through-- 'I will tell no
one but one individual of my real motive for committing so
rash an act. Farewell ! May God bless you all !
Your mad brother, HIRAM:
* Evidently a mistake for 20. .

~:-!

The jury then retired to consider the evidence, which the
Coroner had perspicuously summed up. After a coniulta-
tion of about 23 minutes, they returned a verdict to the, ef-
fect that the deceased had committed "
The Coroner issued his warrrant accordingly, requiring
Mr. Balfour, the Beadle, to see the body of the deceased in-
terred privately, in a common shell, in the parish burying-
ground, between the hours of nine and twelve the same night.
The jury very humanely relinquished the amount paid to
them, (X 1 12s. 6d.,) on behalf of the widow of the deceased.
The Coroner stated that the mom) and property found on
the deceased became forfeited to the crown, and all property
which he might possess, as might be due to him. It was un-
derstood however, that an application would be made in be-
half of the widow, some money for removing prisoners being,
it appeared, due to the deceased. The inquest was nume-
rously attended, and excited great interest.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SEPT. 21.

Since this day se'nnight we have had small supplies of British
produce, and the impoi ti of foreign Wheat and Flour, consisting of
4,800 qrs. and 1,800 brls., respectively, will, for the present, go
under bond. During the week a large business has occurred in
Wheat. In addition to a free demand from our local millers, we
have had buyers for shipment to Ireland and to the north of Eng-
land, and the last sales were at a considerable advance of price : on
the middling descriptions as much as tid to 7d per bushel, over our
quotations at the close of last week, has been realized. No Irish
new has appeared. Our local growers had a few samples at market
to-day, which sold at 105 to lOs 6d per 7olba. Flour has also brougt
Is to 2s per sack and barrel over our previous rates. The quantity
of old Oats on the market is now so limited as to render the price
almost nominal; and Of new arrivals have not exceeded 400 or
500 barrels, which have sold at 4s 9d per 451bs. Barley being very
scarce, and, at the same time, in request, holders have been enabled
to realize a considerable advance, As 6d to 5s 9d per 601bs was yes-
terday paid for good foreign for grinding. Irish new Bere would
readily sell at 5s per 601bs. Grinding Peas have been in good de-
mand at 41s to 44s per qr.; and Beans have found ready buyers at
an improvement of fully Is per qr.

A PORTRAIT WITHOUT PAINT.

Painter, paint me, if you can,
Ireland's sturdy beggarman.
You shall paint him as I tell ye—
With a round and portly belly ;
Brownish wig, well oil'd and curly,
On his nob, so big and burly ;
Let his bronzy eye-brcws pass
O'er a forehead gilt with brass;
And his eyes, as blue as lead,
Peep through rims of fiery red ;
With th' exrresion of the ox,
Mingle well the traits of fox—
So that if their staring fulness
Indicate the bullock's dulness,
Yet their twinkling way of running
May develop Reynaid's cunning.
Let his mug be plump and jolly,
Fat with roguery more than folly;
Stretch the mouth from ear to ear,
Grinning with a devilish sneer;
Paint the nostrils cocked and spacious—
Snuffing round and round—" sagacious
Of the quarry" near at hand—
That's " his own—his native land !"
And to fit expression's due
On each lineament and true,
Let the visage emulate a
Prating lump of a potato.

Then, in vesture of his clan,
Rig me this Bull-Beggarman.
On his back's prodigious mould
Be the blanket strapped and rolled.
From each shoulder sling a sack,
Crammed till one would swear 'twould crack.
Hung behind, on either hip,
Here a wallet, there a scrip. -
From his neck be hung, before,
Satchels, half a dozen or more ;
One for meal—and one for salt—
This to hold the tax on malt—
That for pocketing " the rent," .
The others for the poll-tax meant.
And (if not forbid by dirt)
Put a pocket in his shirt.
Paint him with his hat in hand,
Stationed on his begging stand ;
Wheedling—blustering—bullying—coaxing—
Swaggering sometimes—always hoaxing—
Craving now with gestures dumb—
Thundering then his " Fee—faw—fum !"
" Money—money—fill my purse !
Do—or for you 'twill be worse !"
Then, as some half-starving Pat
Drops a halfpenny in the hat,
Let the cock'd ears catch the tinkle,
Give the eyes a knowing twinkle,
And the nose a sidelong tweak,
While the tongue distends the cheek.—
Simple reader, if you can,
Shun this great Bull-Beggarman.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE

MARCH 9.

Since this day se'nnight we have had very small supplies of Grain,
&c. either coastwise or from Ireland; indeed, the exports of Wheat
to the latter place have recently exceeded the quantities received
thence. Of Foreign Wheat, however, we have again had large ar-
rivals, upwards of 20,000 quarters, which, added to the heavy im-
port of the previous week, had have a depressing effect on the
market, both as to prices and demand. The best qualities of Eng-
lish and Foreign Wheat must be noted 2d to 3d., and inferior parcels
of Mediterranean, &c. may be bought fully 6d per bushel below our
last quotations.—Flour has sold with difficulty, and is also Is per
sack lower.—The trade is dull for both Oats and Oatmeal. Of the
former there are few fine samples offering : 38 6d to 3s gd per 481bs
may be considered current rrtes ; 32s 6d to 33s per 2401bs for the
best runs of Irish Oatmeal.—Barley, Beans, and Peas as last noted.
