The Dormitories and School-rooms are remarkably spacious,

the internal economy of the Institution, as also to some
highly respectable residents of Liverpool, who have confided
the care of their children to Dr. BAILLIE.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER-FRIDAY EVENING.

As we anticipated on Tuesday, this evening's bettings for
the Liverpool Cup have proved very different from those
given at that time. St. Bennett certainly is as yet a very
clear premier ; 70 to 20, and some bets of 3 to 1, have been
so willingly accepted, that 5 to 2 was the top offer this after-
noon. Epirus tottered on Wednesday night, owing to his
stable companion, Charles the Twelfth, having been brought
forward at 20 to . This figure has been improved upon in
such style since, that 10 to 1 was accepted to-day as long as
the fieldsmen were in the humour to go on. Mr. Bowes's
horse was offered against at 10 to 1 this evening ; but no
takers. Slashing Harry and Lanercost were both backed at
the same hour at 100 to 10 ; and the former has an improv -
ing look. Compensation and King Cole have each been
backed to-day at our price. Sir Thom as Stanley's has been
backed for a very large sum of money in this market at
various prices ; may be considered completely hors de eombat ;
100 to 1 has been offered. Although we noticed 100 to 6
having been taken on St. Andrew, we have to place him this
evening at 100 to 1. The prices vary every hour. Several
parties are en route this evening from various parts. A full
meeting is expected.

ANOTHER DISCOVERY FOR NEUTRALIZING THE ALKALI
NUISANCE.—SureIy, amongst the many inventions that are
announced, we shall, by and by, have one that will be ef-
fectual in suppressing the nuisances to which the inhabitants
of the north end of Liverpool are subjected,—nuisances which
survive the fiat of the law, and exist in spite of judge and jury.
We perceive, that Mr. Thomas Burnett, an alkali manufac-
turer, of Newcastle, has succeeded in adapting condensers,
which appear to have given great satisfaction, where they have
been tried. Messrs. Lee and Co., and Messrs. Doubleday
and Co., of Newcastle, have written letters to Mr. Burnett,
stating, that the apparatus retains all the acid prodyced ; and
the latter say, that they have had ample time to test its effi-
cacy in damp and wet weather. It is stated, that certain pro-
ceedings against several parties have been suspended in con-
sequence of this discovery.—Albion.
ANOTHER MURDER IN BIRMINGHAM.—An examination
into one case of murder has this last week been scarcely closed,
before the coroner is called to investigate a second. On Sa-
turday evening last, a man, named Wild, a bumbailiff, resi-
ding in Bread-street, Newhall-street, was apprehended in a
public house, on a charge of having hanged his wife. It ap-
pears that both parties have, for these many years, lived in
a state of perpetual warfare ; both were bad characters, and
both dissipated and profligate in their habits. Wild bad been
repeatedly heard to threaten his wife, and on the day on
which he had committed the crime he had quarrelled with
the deceased. She was found hanging by the neck from a
rope attached to a pulley in the kitchen of the house, by a
man who lodged in the same house. At first it was generally
believed that the unfortunate woman had hung herself ; hut
on the coroner's inquisition, which lasted two days, certain
suspicious facts came out in evidence, which led to the ap-
prehension of Wild. The evidence of the man who lodged
in the house of the prisoner, together with that of the man's
wife, implicated ,Wild very materialy, and after a long and
mature deliberation on the part of the jury, they returned a
verdict of " Wilful murder" against the prisoner Wild. lie
was committed under the coroner's warrant, to Warwick gaol
to take his trial for the offence.—Ten Towns' Messenger.
