NEW MAP OF LIVERPOOL.—We have received a copy of
Mr. Wyld's beautiful map of Liverpool and its environs. It
is most beautiful, correct, and minute ; but we have not
room to notice it at length until Tuesday.

NORTH AMERICAN ROYAL MAIL STEAM-SHIPS.—The
second of these fine vessels, named the Acadia, arrived here
yesterday, having made, we understand, a very rapid passage
from the Clyde. She starts on the 4th August, with the
mails and passengers, for Halifax and Boston.

The Queen has 'been pleased to appoint Lieut.-Gen. Sir E.
Kerrison, Bart., and Lieut.-Gen. Sir. 11. Douglas, Bart.►
companions of the most honourable military order of the
Bath, to be knights commanders of the said order.
NORTHERN DIVISION.—We have heard that the radicals
intend to start one of the Burlington family for the northern
division, and that the person selected holds a place at court.
This must be the Hon. Col. Cavendish, clerk marshal to her
majesty.—Lancaster Gazette.

COURT OF PASSAGE.—The court of passage for the trial
of causes in the borough of Liverpool was held yesterday in
the sessions house, before Charles Crompton, Esq., assessor.
The cause list contained 25 issues and two writs of trial, but
none of the cases possessed the slightest public interest.

We perceive that a reward of thirty pounds has been offered
to any person who will produce the watch worn by the late
Mr. John Bibby on Friday last. It is described as a double-
bottomed silver lever hunting watch, with engine-turned
cases, and engraved on the outside with the initials " J.. 7..
B." It is jewelled, has a hard enamelled dial, and bears the
maker's name—" R. Roskell, No. 41,668."
THE PRESIDENT STEAM-SHIP.--This line vessel has
been visited since her arrival from Ireland on her trial-trip
by many persons, who have expressed theii high admiration
of her great size, beautiful sea-going model, and splendid
accommodations. We are informed that the vessel, before
her departure to America, will he shewn to the public, at a
small admission sum,—the proceeds to be given to the prin-
cipal public charities,—an object highly creditable to the pro-
prietary, and which will, at the same time, give great
gratification to the public. [Several typographical errors
appeared in our account of the trial-trip of the President,
arising from the hurry of the occasion, but they are such as
do not require a list of errata.]

THEATRE-ROYAL.—Last evening the comedy of the
" Merry Wives of Windsor" was revived at the Theatre-
Royal, and received by the audience with hearty welcomes.
Madame Vestris, Mr. Charles Mathews, Mr. Anderson, and
Miss Grant, were loudly applauded in their several parts.
Mr. Baker played Sir John Falstaff: and we must say that
much was wanting in his execution of the character, although
his concteption of it was good. Mr. George Horncastle's
Pistol was excellent. Taken altogether, the stock company
acquitted themselves with credit. Next Monday. Mr. Van-
deuhoff makes his first appearance this season in the charac-
ter of Hamlet.

THE LATE MR. Binwe.—There being some inaccuracy in
our report of the evidence given by Mr. Wainwright, the
surgeon, who examined the body of the late Mr. Bibby, we
have been requested to insert the following, which has been
revised :—Mr. Thomas Wainwright, surgeon, stated that he
had made a complete examination of the body of the de-
ceased. There were several round ecchymosed spots on the
inner side of the right arm, and a similar but larger spot on
the outside of the forearm, and at the back of the same
wrist. The colour of the surface of the body was pale, ex-
cept of the face, which was rather livid. The eyes and
mouth closed ; pupils slightly dilated ; countenance placid ;
no froth about nostrils or mouth. The ventricles of the
brain contained a considerable quantity of clear serum,
and some was found also at the base of the brain. The
vessels of the brain not distended. Diaphragm in its na-
tural position. Liver indurated and of a redder colour
than natural. The bag of the pharynx contained a quan-
tity of fluid mixed with mucus. The trache was ex-
amined to its bifurcation, and contained a large quantity
of a similar fluid, which was slightly frothy near its divi-
sion. The lungs were distended, filled the chest, and were
of a .dark colour. A considerable quantity of bloody serum
on both sides of the chest and in the pericardium. The right
side of the heart, and the large vessels connected with this
side greatiy distended, with black blood in a perfectly fluid
state. The stomach contained at least a pint of thin fluid,
mixed with some undigested food. From all the facts, he
should infer that the deceased was alive when he fell into
the water, and that death was instantaneous. If he had been
thrown in when in a state of deep sleep, he might have died
quietly. He (witness) felt sonic difficulty in accounting for
the marks of violence. [The persons who had taken the de-
ceased out of the water suggested that the spots might have

been caused by the pitchfork, because they caught hold of
the body by the arm.] The witness thought that the marks
could not have been produced after death. He thought they
were just such spots as would have been made by the pressure
of fingers. He did not think the deceased had been suffo-
cated before being thrown in the water. If such had been
the case, he would_ expect to find some marks about the

mouth and nose. He K•as decidedly of opinion that the cause
of death was drowning, and that the deceased was not throws
into the water after death.
