(For the Liverpool Standard.)
The drum !—oh, I' love its martial sound,
To deeds of glory firing ;
It scatters its sweet enchantment round,
The thirst for fame inspiring!
It carries me to the battle-field
Where laurels I first obtain'd,—
'Where my country's foes were fore'd to yield
The conquest our valour gain'd.
It renews the courage I felt of yore,
All fear of danger scorning:
Again it fights all my battles o'er,
And gives me back life's morning.
It tells a tale of my country's pow'r,
Acknowledg'd and fear'd by all,
As resistless as the briny show'r
Which washes her ocean-wall !
Its tones assure me Britons are free—
Are free as the gladsome air ;
To tyrants they would not bow the knee,
Or peace with slavery share.
It fills me with the patriot's fire,
For my natal land to fight ;
And it rouses my indignant ire
Against her enemies' slight.
It points to the glor'ous wreath of fame
Which British prowess has gain'd ;
It says that wreath will e'er be the same,
By cowardice still unstaiti'd !
It presses upon my dazzl'd sight
The heroes, now resting low,
Who bravely maintaiu'd my country's-alight,
And vanquish'd every foe!
It spreads before my enraptur'd eyes
The land for which I have bled—
The land which Albion's soldiers prize—
The land of the valiant dead !
It open a vista on future time,
And tells me Britain will be
Queen of the main, in every clime,
And arbitress of the sea!
The drum !—oh, I love its martial sound,
To deeds of glory firing ;
It scattes its sweet enchantment round,
The thirst far fame inspiring !

BURGLARS'

Jonn Guire; 19, and William Webster, 16, were indicted
for having burglariously broken and entered the dwelling-
house of Thomas Smith, at Salford, and stolen therefrom a
quantity of wearing apparel. There was a second indictment
against M`Guire for a burglary in the house of David Seddon,
of Salford. He pleaded guilty to both indictments ; Webster
pleaded not guilty, and the case was proceeded with. A prin-
cipal witness, Ann Reeves, was not in attendance, and was
called on her recognizances. The only evidence against
Webster was the finding of a hat, which had been stolen
from the premises, in, his possession. This, he said, had
been given to him by Maguire, Webster was acquitted.—
The Judge told M`Guire that he had once before suffered for
his offences in this way, and now confessed his guilt on two
inainfm.nta_ It woe 1.03: elft

DOE DEM. MYATT V. ST. HELEN'S RAILWAY

This was au action in ejectment, to obtain possession of the
St. Helen's and Runcorn Gap Railway. It appeared that
the plaintiff had advanced £3OO, by way of mortgage, to the
company, and being unable to obtain either principal or in-
terest, he brought the present action. Several questions, of
a purely legal nature, were raised on the act of parliament
incorporating the company. Eventually a verdict was en-
tered for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the court
above, on the points raised on the part of the defendant.

MAUNSELL V. AINSWORTH.
The plaintiff in this case subplenaed the defendant (who is
a police-officer in Liverpool) to give evidence on a trial for
perjury, but he neglected to obey it, and, in consequence of
a want of his testimony, a nonsuit was entered. The action
was brought to recover the expenses of the nonsuit. The
jury found a verdict for the plaintiff; damages £2O.

BANKRUPTS,
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-08-25

CUTTING AND STABBING

Philip Malone, aged about 36, was charged with having,
in this town, on the 9th August, inst., cut, stabbed, and
wounded David Mooney.
Mr. Buds and Mr. Buss for the prosecution ; Mr.
WILKINS for the defence.
On the night of Saturday the Sth inst., the prisoner and
Mooney were playing at cards and drinking together at a
public-house in Toxtett-park.
On their way home, between twelve and one o'clock on
Sunday morning, they had some altercation about the game
which they had been playing. Both were intoxicated, and as
the prisoner had won some money from Mooney the latter
said—" If I had won so much money as you have from a
friend, I would return him the half of it." At length they
came to blows, and after a scuffle both came to the ground.
A policeman went up, dispersed the crowd, and sent the com-
batants home. The prisoner had been at another public-
house that night, and had a scuffle with another person who
played at cards with his brother. He swore, however, that
he had not,. " to the best of his knowledge," encountered
any other any after he left the prisoner. A wan, named
M'Allister, who saw the scuffle, endeavoured to separate
the parties and received two stabs in his thigh. As Mooney
was going home he found himself very faint, and that blood
was dripping from him. He sat down upon some steps and
became nearly insenstble. In this state he was found by the
police-officer, about half-past two o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing. When the prisoner was taken into custody a penknife
with two blades was found in his possession. The wound
was described by the surgeon as superficial and not dan-
gerous. There were eight or nine wounds, one of which was
across the nose. The surgeon was of opinion, from the
'thickness of cloth cut through, that the penknife found on
the prisoner was not the weapon with which the wounds
were inflicted. _ _ _

While Mr; Wilkins was doing' all he could for the defence
of the prisoner the latter was, in dumb show, threatening
vengeance against the witnesses who had appeared in support
of the prosecution. With a most fierce aspect, looking at
Mooney, his brother, and M'Allister, he clenched his fist
and repeatedly threw it out from him towards them, as if to
indicate how he would punish them if he were near them.
He was repeating these actions still more vehemently, when
he was restrained by Mr. Davenport, his attorney, and by
Mr. Wilkins, who, however, saw only a few of hia.ges-
tures. _ _ _

Mr. WILKINS impressed upon the jury that there was no
evidence that the prisoner had inflicted the wounds upon the
prosecutor.
The Jury, after a few minutes' consultation, acquitted the
prisoner.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AUGUST 22

The week's arrivals of British Grain, &c. are light. The chief
arrivals from abroad are 5,140 quarters of Wheat and 17,900 barrels
of Flour, 12,820 barrels of the latter from the United States and
5,080 barrels from Canada. Duties have been paid upon 464
quarters of Oats, 3,820 quarters of Beans, 397 quarters of Peas, and
45g barrels of Flour. The alteration in the rates of impost are 40
per quarter less on Wheat, Is 6d per quarter less on Oats, 2s 5d less
on Flour and is 6d per quarter more on Barley, the respective
rates 63 80 and 3s 3d per quarter, 4s per barrel, and 12s 40 per
quarter. The wet, stormy weather experienced in the beginning
of the week caused considerable excitement in our Grain market,
on Tuesday, and a large business was done in Wheat and Flour,
the better qualities of the former realizing 2d to 3d and inferior
descriptions of Foreign 4d to 6d per bushel over previous rates.
Flour, also, has brought fully is per quarter advance. Oats and
Oatmeal still move slowly, without change in value. The transac-
tions in bond embrace several parcels of Wheat at prices ranging
from 7s 3d to 9s 3d per barrel, and a little Flour at 32s per barrel.
The weather has since been favourable for harvest operations, and,
with this change, we have had less disposition to business. At
yesterday's market the sale of free Wheat was limited at 10 to 20
per bushel below Tuesday's currency. Duty-paid Flour was also
rather cheaper. Other articles of the trade nominally unaltered.
About 2,000 barrels of Flour changed hands, iu bond, at 32s per
barrel.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,-THI3 DAY.

Since Tuesday last the arrivals of Wheat into this port
have been small compared with those of the week preced-
ing, and of other kinds of grain we have very little from any
quarter for insertion to-day ; 9275 barrels of States Flour
comprising the principal feature In our import note below.
The weather on the whole continuing propitious, the ope-
rations of harvest are now going on vigorously, and promise
a better result than the early reports of last week premised;
which, combined with the depression in Mark-lane yester-
day, caused a very dull sale this morning for all descriptions
of free Wheat, at a further decline from the reduced terms
of Friday, and placing our quotations 3d. to 4d. per 70 lb.
under the currency of this day se'nnight.

In bonded Wheat and Flour a few more transactions have
occurred since the close of the week, and under the impres-
sion of still lower duties both nearly retain our last quota-
tions. Free Flour, on the contrary, was ls. to 2s. per barrel
cheaper to-day, and moved off rather sparingly at this abate-
ment.

Barley and Malt continued to meet a retail demand at a
small decline in value.—Beans and Pease remained steady.

Old Oats, upon an extremely difficult sale, were Id. to 2d.
per 451bs. lower : a parcel of Irish new, however, brought
4s. 3d. per 451bs. Old Oatmeal, being very unsaleable,
must be noted Is. per sack cheaper; whilst good Irish new
realised 40s. per 2401b5.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Our correspondents must exercise a little patience. The
length of our assize reports compels us to omit or post-
pone many communications with which we are favoured.
We shall feel obliged if " A Town and County Elector" will
favour us with a personal interview at his earliest conve-
nience.
We beg to express our acknowledgments to the publisher of
the Ludlow Standard for favouring us with a copy of the
first number of that journal, from which, it will be per-
ceived, we have ext-acted an account of the murderous
attempt on Mr. Mackreth's life.

BURGLARY

Jonn 31' Guire; 19, and William Webster, 16, were indicted
for having burglariously broken and entered the dwelling-
house of Thomas Smith, at Salford, and stolen therefrom a
quantity of wearing apparel. There was a second indictment
against NV Guire for a burglary in the house of David Seddon,
of Salford. He pleaded guilty to both indictments ; Webster
pleaded not guilty, and the case was proceeded with. A prin-
cipal witness, Ann Reeves, was not in attendance, and was
Pet nn t was her the r"RnuidiWg"gasi hat,he whicho tirige7aceeenaiagiti
from the premises, in his possession. This, he said, had
been given to him by Maguire, Webster was acquitted.—
The Judge told I‘l`Guire that he had once before suffered for
his offences in this way, and now confessed his guilt on two
indictments. It was quite clear, therefore, that he was re-
gularly engaged in this trade. Though no violence was used,
be had his doubts whether he ought not to go to the full ex-
tent of punishment; but the sentence of the court was, that
he should be transported beyond seas for the term of ten
years.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SIA,—In the programme and advertisements of the last
subscription concert, a paragraph was inserted, that " no
person will be admitted, on any account whatever, before
the time announced, which will be, for this concert, seven
o'clock precisely. I was surprised, therefore, on entering
the Theatre before the hour named, to find the boxes and
pit completely tilled.
The arrangements for the whole of these concerts seem to
have been bad, and much complained of; but it is of no use
raking up old grievances, and we must only hope that some-
thing will be done to prevent a repetition of the confusion
next winter.
I would suggest that a portion of the Theatre be exclu-
sively appropriated to subscribers, and that the seats so
reserved should be numbered from one upwards ; that sub-
scribers' tickets should be numbered in the order that sub-
scriptions are received ' • and that, on entering the Theatre,
each person should taahkde
pushingt the s eat t
h s t correspondinghastaken placew it h
tthhi the
deal of
othnehrisusthiciknegt. This, I think, would prevent a great
winter, since every subscriber would be certain of a seat,
and would not be under the necessity of being at the Theatre
half an hour before the time announced for the opening of
the doors, to get a seat.
Mr. Ashton deserves the thanks of the Liverpool public
for the pleasure he has afforded, and, I am sure, would be
willing to adopt any improvement that might be suggested,
for the better management of his concerts in future ; and
that his exertions may be successful, is the sincere wish of
Your obedient servant,
Feb. 1211 i, 1840. A SUBSCRIBER.
