NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
EARLY DELIVERY OF THE TIMES (LONDON)
IN LIVERPOOL, &c.
SEVERAL complaints having been made, that the copies
of the TIMES, supplied by News Venders, are delivered
at a late hour in the evening, in Liverpool, Warrington,
Wigan, Chester, &c., &c., subscribers are informed that
their orders should be given to the Agent for the Times, 45,
LORD-STREET, LIVERPOOL, and not to the News Venders,
and they will then • be SUPPLIED WITH THE TIMES
BY FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON, AND
WITH THE LATEST EDITIONS.
To ensure the arrival of the Morning papers in Liverpool,
&c. by Four in the Afternoon, they must be dispatched by
Six o'Clock in the Morning, from Euston-square ; and, as
the Agent for the Times is unconnected with the distribution
of any other paper, his Subscribers' copies are forwarded
BY EXPRESS FROM THE TIMES OFFICE TO THE
RAILWAY STATION, AS SOON AS THEY ARE
PUBLISHED.

News Venders frequently lose the first train from London,
by the delay consequent upon the collection of their papers
from the various offices, at a distance from each other;
therefore the cause of irregularity in their supply of The
Times is obvious. The proprietors of the Public News-
rooms should forward their orders to
L. T. GASKILL,
Sole Agent for the Times.

45, Lord-street, Liverpool_
N.B. The first morning paper supplied in Liverpool or
Lancashire, by four in the afternoon of the same day of its
publication in London, was the Times, through the Agency
of L. I'. Gaskill.

THE ATROCIOUS ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF
HER MAJESTY.—TRIAL op EDWARD OXFORD.
TN consequence of the interest manifested in Liverpool,

Majesty, L. T. Gaskilt has been induced to order an extra
number of copies of The Times. Early orders should be
given.

TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1840,

We have received a copy of the Guiana Times of the
18th of May. Its contents have been anticipated by a

previous arrival

We have received a file of the St. John's, (N. 8.)
Weekly Chronicle to the 29th of May, inclusive. They
contain very little news of impOrtance. The Queen's
nuptials had been celebrated with great echlt through-
out the province.

We have received a file of the Halifax (U.S.) Jour-
nal to the Bth of June, incluive. We regret to learn
from these papers that the dryness of the season and
the heat of the weather had materially injured the grass
and potato crops. The weather in New Brunswick
and Prince Edward Island appears to have been of the
same description, and it is said that much damage had
been done by the fires in the woods, which were still
spreading.

The Lieutenant Governor of the province had re-
ceived a despatch from Lord John Russell, intimating
his regret that it had not been in his power to submit
to her Majesty the recent address of the House of As-
sembly, forwarded for that purpose by the Speaker—
the same having been transmitted without the inter-
vention of his Excellency, and the proceeding being
unusual. irregular, and inconvenient. His Lordship
considered it to be his duty to assent, on behalf of her
Majesty's representative in the province, the strict ad-
herence to those observances to which his station gave
him an indisputable claim, and which could not be dis-
regarded without derogating from the respect due to
his power and authority. The Journal adds that her
Majesty's government approved of his Excellency's
determination not to assent to the address of the House
of Assembly, for the change of the members of the
Executive Council collectively, without the previous
sanction of her Majesty.

We learn from an extract in the Halifax Journal,
that the city of St. Domingo had been visited, on the
28th of May, by a great flood, owing to the immense
quantity of rain which had fallen—more than had been
known for 30 years. The current in the river ran at
the rate of 8 or 9 knots an hour, and swept several
vessels from their anchorage. A very large quantity
of mahogany and other woods had been lost by this
sudden rise of the waters, having been swept by the
