LONDON LATEST NEWS.

City, Saturday Evening, half-past Seven o'clock.
Accounts have been received to-day from Charleston to the
13th ultimo. It would appear by the advices, that even the ci-
tizens of Charleston are becoming, disgusted with the mode in
which the sale of negroes was carried ou in that city. A propo-
sition is stated to have been made before the city council for the
establishment of a mart for the sale of negroes, iu a place more
remote from observation, and less offensive to the public eye,
than the one hitherto used for that purpose. The accounts add,
that the establishment of a mart for the sale of slaves, more
remote from the public eye, would be acceptable to the com-
munity, and that witout prejudice to the interests of individuals.
However strong the feeling of the inhabitants of the Southern
States may be to prevent the spreading of abolition doctrines,
this incident may be taken perhaps as an indication, that as
knowledge and the rights of man become more
.prevalent, the
cause of giving freedom to the slave, will prevail lathe southern
States of America.
It appears that emigration from Ireland into the United
States had commenced unusually early this year, and it was ex-
pected would be carried on to a great extent. Money in the
principal cities of the United States had become more abundant,
and trade very active.
From New Orleans there are dates to the Ist of May. Busi-
nessabere was extremely brisk. The sales of cotton had been
very considerable, and the stock had been reduced to 93,900
bales. The banks were discounting rather more liberally, and
specie was arriving freely.
The,city has been comparatively deserted to-day, at least as
regards the principal frequenters of the Royal Exchange and
the Money Market, the display in Hyde-park having been the
scene of very general resort. In the Consul Market there have
been but few bargains, entered .into, but the quotation for the
Account touched 921 in the morning.. During the latter part
of the day the price remained unvaried at 92 to 1. In the
other portions of the public debt there was little or nothing
done. Exchequer Bills, India Bonds, and Bank Stock, remain
at precisely the same quotations as they realized yesterday.
In railway and other shares the business done this week has
been again very trifling. The mania for speculating iu new
projects has completely subsided, and although many additional
companies have been announced, they do "not take." The
Brighton (Stephenson's) railway shares have improved from I'2
to 141 premium ; the South Eastern to 3 premium; and the
Greenwich to 6 premium. The Grand Western shares have
recedel from 26 to 24 premium. The Colonial Bank shares
have receded to 3 premium; and the British North American
Bank shares to I discount. The shares of the National Bank
of Ireland have remained at about 4 premium, and those of the
Provincial Bank of Ireland have touched 221 premium
• In the Foreign Stuck Market there has also been an absence
of extensive business to-day. Spanish Stock, which opened at
421 i, receded to 421, which was about the closing quotation ; the
Deferred Bonds, after having been sold at en advance to 201,
closed at 201; and the Passive Stock at 13h. Portuguese Stock
left off at about the quotations of yesterday. Russian and
Danish are a shade lower, but Austrian Metalliqufts have been
sold at 34 per cent. above par. Neapolitan Five per Cents.
have been sold• this aftertioon.at 1011. Chilian Bonds remain
at 47, but Columbian have recd to" 31.
The shares have commanded but little attention to-day. -Ste-
phensou's Brighton railway shares remain at 14- premium. ; the
Great Western at 24, and Greenwich at 6 premium. The Bir-
mingham and Gloucester are a shade lower. Colonial Rank
shares are still at 3 premium, and the British North American
Bank shares at z discount. The Provincial Bank of Ireland
and the National Bank-of Ireland shares remain nominally at
previous quotations.

THE REGISTRATION.—By the reform act, 2d William IV.,
cap. 45, sec. 37, overseers of the poor are required to cause to
be affixed on or near all the churches and chapels in their re-
spective parishes a notice to all persons entitled to vote for
counties, whose names are not already on the register, on the
20th inst. (yesterday:) All such persons, in addition to those

LIVERPOOL CONSERVATIVE OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION.—In
pursuance of a resolution passed at a meeting of this society
held last week, it has been determined to establish a reading-
room for the use of the members of the association.. The room
will be furnished with sound moral, religious, and political pub-
lications, such as will have the effect of counteracting the cheap
trash issued by whig-radical exertions for the purpose of spread-
ing radicalism and infidelity. A subscription has been opened
for the above object, which may be seen at the STANDARD-
OFFICE, where contributions will be received and forwarded to
the treasurer of the association.
LIVERPOOL MUSIC HALL.—The increasing taste for musical
performances in this town, has induced a number of gentlemen
to publish a prospectus, which will be found in another column,
of a commodious building to be erected in Mount-pleasant.
We understand most of the shares have already been spoken
for.—(For further particulars see advt.)
SUNDAY TRADING.—We understand many of the inhabitants
living in and near Back Market-street, near the New Market,
are very much annoyed by persons employed during the hours
of divine service on Sundays, in selling poultry. The parties
complaining would do well to acquaint the public authorities
with the circumstance.

UNION STSANI PICKET COMPANY.—In justice to the Pro.
visional Committee of the proposed Union Steam Packet Corn.
pally, it is but fair to state that their advertisement with Mr.
Bibby's name as chairman, in our last Friday's paper, was an
error of our own, having copied a former one which had been
sent in the early part of the day, instead of one sent afterwards,
in which Mr. Bibby's name was omitted.
Itsouxs-rs.—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Sessions's
house, before P. F. Curry, Esq., coroner, on the body of a la-
bourer named Edward Hughes, who lived in a house in Temple-
street. lie was found suspended by his neck by a cord to the
bannisters, and quite dead, on Sunday morning. About four
mouths ago he was confined in a lunatic asylum at Dublin for
insanity. Verdict, temporary derangement.—Another inquest
was held, at the same time, on the body of an old woman named
Catherine Campbell, who lived- with a woman named Ellen
Reyes; in Myrtle-street, Richmond-row. On Friday night she
went home' intoxicated, and was in the habit of being so. Mrs.
Heyee assisted her to bed, and next morning, about twelve
o'clock, a child, the grand-daughter of the deceased, came to
tell her that she had shaken her grandmother and could not
awake her. She went up to see her, and found her quite dead.
Mr. Cooper, surgeon, deposed to having taken a post mortem
examination of the head of the deceased, and found that her
death was caused by apoplexy, brought on by the frequent use
of ardent spirits. Verdict accordingly.
FATAL. ACCIPENT.—On Thursday last, as a heavily-laden
timber-carriage was passing from Berry street to Leece-street,
a boy, named Wm. Warden, fell under one of the huge hind
wheels,. which passed over him. He was taken up, and
conveyed to the Infirmaty. He was found to be dreadfully
crushed. He lingered till the following day, when death re-
lieved him from his sufferings.
PEDESTRIANISM.—We understand that the celebrated pedes-
trian, Mr. Ephraim Anderson, of Morpeth, has undertaken, for
a considerable wager, to walk on mile in five minutes. The
scene of action will be from the first to the second milestone on
the London road, at eight o'clock, this evening.
LIVERPOOL FISH COSiPANT.7-The directors and a party
of friends embarked on Sunday nu hoard the Mona's Isle, the
steam boat belonging to this company, to bring home the fish
from the station about 50 miles from this port ; every possible
attention was paid by Captain Collins to his visitors. 'rhe trip
was an exceedingly pleasant one, and the:sight of the fish being
taken from the smacks into the steamer was extremely novel
and interesting to the party. The catch yesterday was about
tons of very fine fish. The Mona's Isle goes every day to
the station, arid it is. we believe, the intention of the directors
to take out parties at a moderate! rate, who Wity,Vbish to witness
the manceuvre of the fleet and enjoy the exhilitating sea
breeze.
SECOND GALA AT THE ZooLOGICA!, GARDENs.--Last even-
ing, the sece,pri gala at tbese gardens commenced. The wea-
ther;thoughline, was cold and wiudy, which a little counter-
balanced the enjoyments of the evening so liberally provided
by Mr. Atkins. 7 The gardens were, however, very much
crowded, and there could not he less than 2,000 persons present,
amongst whom were a great number of highly respectable
persons. The illuminations were on the usual magnificent
scale, and, about half-past nine o'clock, were fully lighted, and
had a very pretty effect. At this time, every approach to the.
gardens where a view of the fireworkscould possibly,be obtained
was crowded. Shortly after, a few rockets were sent ufe and a
feuds igie was fired to announce the commencement of firing.
A number of different coloured lights were then bartit';. Which
greatly illuminated the garden, and had a very beautiful effect.
The rockets were Jiffy numerous, and some of them splendid.
Sonic of the wheels were magnificent, and ,fully bore out
Monseiur Ernst's, reputation as a pyrotechnist. One of the
wheels was pal ticulurly beautiful. A number of wheels were
fired, end a serpent v, as seen tracing in and out of them, fol,
lowing an apple.. 'lbis fire-work, whilst burning, was loudly
cheered. The v,liole concluded shortly after eleven o'clock.
