MURDER OF A SAILOR IN LIVERPOOL

One of the most savage murders which have lately taken
place in this town was investigated before the coroner on
Saturday, when the following facts were evolved from the
examination of the witnesses. On Tuesday evening
William Goodfin, a sailor, was drinking in Taylor's public-
house, Pall-mall, with two other sailors, and a woman
named M'Grath, when the prisoner, Susan Campbell, a
girl of the town, residing in 4 Court, Pall-mall, joined
them. She came up to Goodfin and asked him to treat
her. This he refused to do, and tapped her slightly with
his fingers. Shortly afterwards he left the house with his
companioi,s, bidding the prisoner good night. She im-
mediately ran after him into the street, and stabbed him
with a knife in the neck, whence the blood rushed out
profusely. He was being conveyed to a druggist's, when
some police-officers came up and took him to the
Northern Hospital, where he gradually sank, and ulti-
mately died on Friday morning, about three o'clock. In
the course of the investigation it was proved that on
Tuesday morning the prisoner had threatened to kill
some one with the knife (produced) which was found on
the Wednesday morning near the scene of the murder,
by a lad named Morris. A Mrs. Edwards, in whose
house the prisoner resided, identified the knife as one
which had been left in her house by a seaman, and which
she had several times seen in the possession of the
prisoner. Mr. B. Wall, house-surgeon at the Northern
Hospital, said that the deceased had died in consequence
of the internal carotid artery being divided. It might

The Times says : " The last news from St. Peters-
burgh is more calculated than anything they knew of
before to induce the hope that the dispute will be termi-
nated peaceably. At the date the last intelligence left,
one at least of the propositions of compromise had
reached the Russian Cabinet, and it had apparently been
viewed in a manner indicating, at all events, a desire to
negotiate. There was no doubt that Count Nesselrode
would exert all his influence, whatever that may now be,
to promote such an arrangement. Though it is impossi-
ble to foresee what the real intentions of his imperial
master are, some minor circumstances have transpired
which imply that desire to extricate himself from a posi-
tion destructive of all his former policy, and discreditable
to his public character. What we require is a substantial
withdrawing of the Russian pretensions. If the profes-
sions of the Russian Government arc sincere, the Times
has little doubt that the question will be amicably
settled ; but it must be borne in mind that Russia's
object in giving a favourable reception to these proposals
may be only to prolong a period of suspense, and to
watch a more favourable opportunity for ulterior pro-
ceedings. Meanwhile fresh causes of anxiety have
sprung up in Turkey. A dangerous conspiracy among
the ISlussulman students at Constantinople has been dis-
covered ; its object was to depose the Sultan, and pro-
claim his brother, who is regarded as the head of the
old Turkish party ; this party, goaded to fury by the insults
of Russia, and resenting the protective restraint of the other
Christian Powers, almostas fiercely as the aggression of their
northern antagonist, would rush into immediate war.
The state of affairs was so serious, that on the morn-
ing of the 9th the Grand Vizier and Reschid Pacha were
suddenly dismissed from office, but restored to power in
the afternoon. No change of policy having been effected,
the causes of this revolution in the Divan are still un-
known ; bat it may be conjectured that a violent attempt
was made to overthrow the present ministers, and though
nominally successful was defeated in a few hours.
On the 4th of June the Sultan, on the desire of the Re-
presentatives of the four Powers, gave his assent to a
note addressed to Russia, in conformity with the terms of
compromise suggested by Austria."
The Times concludes by repeating that it sees reason
to entertain greater hopes of the success of the negotia-
tions with Russia than it has felt at any former period of
this crisis.

The Morning Post says :—" Of the four projects which
we have indicated as having originated with the Great
Powers, jointly or separately, for the arrangement of the
Question, one, we learn, has reached St. Petersburgh,
and has met with a reception not discouraging, though the
Czar has not as yet formally declared whether he will or
not enter upon negotiations.
It is, however, certain that up to the 10th of July the
Emperor had not given any refusal to receive the proposals
in question, but that, on the contrary, the cabinet seemed
disposed rather to entertain them, there is therefore yet
some prospect of a peaceful settlement.
ST. PETEItSBURGH, JULY 7.—The Austrian Count
Gyulai had arrived on a special mission.
TURKEY.— CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 9.—A minis-
terial crisis was feared in consequence of the Russian
invasion of the principalities. The crisis, however, has
been prevented. A pacific solution is generally expected ;
nevertheless, there is no cessation in the armaments.—
The commander of the forts on the Dardanelles has been
instructed to permit the passage, at any time, by day
or night, of the British or French steamers.—Negotia-
tions are still carried on respecting Costa and the Smyrna
riots.
PARIS, MONDAY.—The news of to-day being favour-
able to peace, the exchange was steady, and confidence
prevailed, and after closing hours prices ruled still higher.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Tms DAY.

The arrivals into this port coastwise and from Ireland
since Tuesday last are small, whilst of Foreign Wheat
during that period the importation is very abundant,
partly from Canada, but chiefly from the United States,
various ports in the Black Sea, Mediterranean and Egypt,
being altogether upwards of 40,000 quarters. Of
American, French, and Spanish Flour, the supply is also
large ; of Indian Corn liberal, and of Beans moderately
fair in amount. _ .

There was a very good attendance at our market this
morning, and a considerable amount of business was
transacted in Wheat and Flour at an advance of 2d. per
701 b. on the former, and 6d. per barrel on the latter, on
the prices of this day week. In Indian Corn and other
articles there was little apparently doing, but no change
in price, and a steady market.

LAND TAX REDEMPTION.—On Saturday the bill of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer was printed to reduce the
terms on which the land tax in Great Britain may be
redeemed or purchased. It is intended to provide that
the consideration for the redemption of the laed tax be
less by £l7 Ns. per cent. than the consideNtloll fmd

BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.—A private telegraphic
despatch from Dresden, of Sunday, says :—" The Dresden
official journal confirms the news that Russia had accepted
the offices of mediation of England and France.
A despatch from Constantinople, of the 9th, says :
' No ministerial crisis had been caused, as was antici-
pated, by the passage of the Pruth.' A general, convic-
tion of a pacific solution prevailed. Negotiations con-
tinued regarding the affairs of Costa at Smyrna."
At Constantinople a conspiracy against the Sultan's
life had been discovered. Fifteen Mussulman students
were executed.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their Lordships met at five o'clock.
THE TURKISH QUESTION.

The Earl of MALMESBURY wished to put a question to
Government on the subject of the affairs of the East, and
in doing so be should abstain as much as possible from
saying anything which could tend to embarrass Govern-
ment in the matter. The question, however, arrived at

difference between the
and that while the former facilitated the early publication
of state documents, the latter required that such a pro-
cedure should only take place through the medium of the
two Houses of Parliament. He could state, however,
although the negotiations now going on must be viewed
somewhat in the light of a private correspondence, that
Government did not feel themselves called upon to reply
to the first note, but they had replied to the second note
in similar terms to the French answer. In due course
this answer, together with the other documents, would
be laid before Parliament; and in the meantime he could
assure their lordships that Governor.ent had no apprehen-
sions of the affair ending in open hostilities.
The Earl of MALMESBURY was not disposed to treat
this correspondence as private. The notes from Russia
were an appeal to the whole of Europe, and great injury
would be done to the Turkish cause by allowing the an-
swers to remain unpublished.
Lord BEAUMONT wished to know when the production
of the correspondence might be expected.
The Earl of CLARENDON hoped the negotiations now
going on would be brought to a close in a few days ; but,
at all events, whether that was so or not, he could have
no difficulty in promising that the papers should be forth-
coming within that period.
The Marquis of CLANRIOARDE said it was reported
that the Russians had not only entered the Danubian
principalities, but actually taken upon themselves the
functions of managing their civil and public affairs,
and he should be glad to know if there was any truth in
this report.
The Earl of CLARENDON had certainly seen such a
report, but the Government had received no information
tending to confirm it. It was stated in the newspapers,
indeed, that the Russians had seized the post-offices in
both provinces, but, according to the latest intelligence
which had come to the hands of the Government, the
Hospodars were still discharging their functions of civil
government.
The subject then dropped.
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA.

The Earl of ALBEMARLEl;resentedaPitliion from the
Bristol Chamber of Commerce, praying that the mono-
poly of salt, exercised by the East India Company, in
India, may be abolished, and that, if it should be con-
sidered still expedient to levy a tax on this necessary of
life, that it should be in such a form as to press less
heavily on the poor of India than the present system of
taxation. The noble Earl also presented a petition from
the East Indians of the presidencies of Calcutta, Madras,
and Bombay, at present residing in London, complaining
of the grievances under which they, and the community to
which they belong, labour, in the existing state of the law.
The petitions were ordered to lie upon the table.
Lord DONOUGHMORE called the attention of the house
to the present condition of the system of National Educa-
tion in Ireland, and moved for a copy of the resolutions
lately adopted by the Board of National Education,
excluding the use of certain books from the schools under
their management. The noble lord asked whether in
