LIVERPOOL, OCTOBER 27.

The trial of the persons who had been taken into
custody charged with having been concerned in the
transactions in dead bodies, recently discovered in Hope-
street, in this town, being fixed for this day, an intense
interest was excited among all classes of its inhabitants
for the result of the proceedings ; and the Court, aid
every avenue leading to it, was, in consequence, crowded
to suffocation. The late hour of the day to which the
trial was protracted, together with an unexpected influx
of more important matter from another quarter, will
put it out of our power to report as we could have
wished, the eloquent speeches of the Counsel. The
evidence, however, we give in full.

Wm. Gillespie, the man who was first of all appre-
hended, had been discharged out of custody, the Grand
Jury having ignored the bill preferred against him.
James Donaldson, aged 25, was indicted for having
"conspired with divers other persons, lately at Liver-
pool, and unlawfully, wilfully, and indecently dug open
cgrtain graves there, and unlawfully, wilfully, and in-
decently disinterred, taken and carried away, divers dead
bodies, which had lately before that time been interred."
The evidence bas been already embodied, and was of a revolting
nature.

The case being concluded, the RECORDER proceeded to sum up
the evidence. After which the Jury retired, and in about twenty
minutes returned with a Verdict of—Guilty.
The Recomisis immediately sentenced the prisoner to be impri-
soned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for twelve
calendar months, and to pay a fine of 501. and to be further impri-
soned until such fine be paid. '
No expression of feeling of any kind escaped from any part of the
audience, on hearing either the verdict or the sentence.

The Duke of MONTEBELLO and suite were enter-
tained with a stag bunt at the Lakes of Killarney on Wednesday
se'nnight.
Another Military Narrative, of various and stirring
interest, it appears, is about to be published under the title of gi Tus
Rircaataw's OSMIUM" The authenticity of the details in this
work, as well as that of its predecessor (" Tes ADVZNTUIIS or •
Yam% Rrrcan♦rr"), is attested by no less an authority than Goers's,
who has, in fact, prepared the young Soldier's story for the Press.
NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICAN COEYZE-HOUSE, OCT.
29.—Singapore papers have been received of the 11th
of May.; the following is an extract : ,4 The supplies of
opium have been very trifling, and prices have been
maintained. A few chests of Patna have been sold at
1880 dollar;, and some Malwa at 1000 to 1080 dol-
lars : the stock in the first hands is now very small.—
The importations of produce have been very limited for
some time past; of pepper the arrivals are unusually
small, and prices are rather higher, 711 dollars having
been paid ; sugar is held at 7i to 7i dollars; tin sells
at 21t to 214 dollars. Several parcels of saltpetre have
arrived, which are offered at 20 dollars. The Scorpion
and Cornwallis have sailed for London. The Sir God-
frey Webster and Fortitude are both loading, and will
take their departure shortly for the same destination."
PORTSMOUTH; OCT. 27.—His Majesty's frigate Sy-
bilk, 46 guns, Captain Sir Samuel G. Pechell, Bart.
is released from quarantine, having left Malta on the
28th ult . (five days after the last packet arrived) and
Gibraltar 14 days since, the shortest passages that have
been made for a long time. There is no news by her
of the Greek cause. Lord Cochrane had been some
time cruising off Malta, in.a.small schooner fearing to
land, the inquires he made with respect to any interfe-
rence with him being unsatisfactory both at Malta and
Naples. He sails under the name of Mr. Baird. Ad-
miral Sir Harty Neale, whoseretut n to Malta from the
Archipelago was shortly expected, had sent his tender
from Smyrna, with dispatches, stating his intention to
continue there two months longer. The negociations
with the Turkish Government had not succeeded with
the ease and facility that were expected. Mr. Stratford
Canning's last note was understood to have given offence
to the Divan. Sir Harry Neale had drawn nearly all
his ships into /the Archipelago, either to support his
negociati.lns, protect the British property at Smyrna,
or keep a check on the Greek pirates--misticos. No-
thing was known when the Sybille sailed, of an engage-
ment being fought between the Turkish and Greek
ships. The defeat of the Greeks is not only to be la-
mented on account of the cause, but because the Greeks,
after defeat, invariably desert their ships, and turn pi-
rates. Our ships cannot get into the creeks of their
ports to capture them. It has been stated in some of
the papers, that Admiral Halsted is daily expected to
return home from Jamaica, in his Majesty's ship Isis,
bringing some specie from the Colombian Govern-
ment. Admiral Halsted cannot return to England until
May nr June next. Admiral Fleming is not to sail
from England, to succeed him, until Jan. or Fehruary.
