tightly on the left side. The ends of the tape were car-

were tied tightly on the left side of the lower jaw. A part
of a printed apron, in which the body was wrapped, was
thrust tightly into the mouth, and adhered to the lower

post mortem examination, that, from the floating of the

death. He also thought that the cord was tied round its

CORRESPONDENCE,

THE FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND AND
THE DUKE OF BUCCLEUGH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sin,—lf you can, in these times of superabundant ex-
citing political news, spare room in your valuable journal
for the insertion of the following rather lengthy observa-
tions, you will oblige "An Old Subscriber."
I observe that the Duke of Buccleugh has again been
the object of the vituperative abuse of the ministers of the
Free Church, at their meeting in this town on the 4th
inst. As there has been a great deal of gross misrepre-
sentation respecting his refusal of a site for a church in
Canobie, allow me, in justice to amost worthy nobleman,
to lay a true statement of the circumstances before the
public. At the time the disruption took place in the
Church, scarcely any district in the kingdom took less in-
terest in the movement than Canobie, and the adjoining
parishes. The people are blessed with faithful and zea-
lous pastors, enjoying and reciprocating their esteem.
The Rev. Mr. Donaldson, parish minister of Canobie,
holds opinions, however, at variance with the Free
Church, and on the schism taking place, agitators were
sent into the parish, without any invitation ; meetings
were called, at which the most inflammatory language
was used ; tracts were distributed, and every means taken
to stir up the people against the Established Church, its
ministers, and supporters. A few restless spirits were
drawn together, and much family dissension and ill feeling
was produced as the certain result of teaching which
maintains that the Established Church forms no part of
the visible Church of Christ.* An attempt was made to
form a congregation ; and without leave asked or obtained,
a tent was erected near to the Parish Church, on land be-
longing to the Duke of Buccleugh. Owing, however, to
the violent conduct of those inciting the movement, the
agent of the Duke obtained an injunction against this free
and easy mode of location. The tent was then pitched
upon the road side, upon land belonging to the road
trustees ; but here the sacred services were subject to
many unseemly interruptions, and his Grace of Buccleugh

WENHAM LAKE ICE.

THIS unequalled Pure Spring Water ICE has now
become a necessary rather than a luxury, forming, as it
does, one of the principal Ingredients in the delicacies of the
Table, imparting its delicious coolness to the beverage the most
moderate means can cammand, and being of great bulk and
solidity, is much better adapted to any external application than
ice frozen at a higher temperature. This superior article is
now in constant demand at the Palace, uses by the Nobility,
Gentry, and at every respectable Hotel.
Having recently added largely to ormer Stock, we are
now ready to furnish any quan wholesale or retail, and on
reasonable terms.
Ice delivered daily to er, in town and vicinity, and sent

DISORDER OF TILE LIVER AND KIDNEYS.

Extract of a Letter from Mr. K. Heydon, dated 78, King-

To Professor HOLLOWAY.

Stn,—l have the pleasure to inform you that, Stuart A. Do.
naldson, Esq., an eminent Merchant and Agriculturist, and
also a Magistrate of this Town, called on me on the liith inst.,
and purchased your Medicines to the amount of FOURTEEN
POUNDS to be forwarded to his Sheep Stations in New England.
He stated that one of his Overseers had come to Sydney some
time previously for medical aid, his disorder being an affection
of the Liver and Kidneys—that he had placed the man for
three months under the care of one of the best Surgeons, with-
out any good resulting from the treatment; the man then in
despair used your Pills and Ointment, and much to his own
and Mr. Donaldson's astonishment, was completely restored
to his health by their means. Now this surprising cure was
effected in about ten days. (Signed) J. K. lIKYDON.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAI

AMERICA.
The Washington steam ship, Captain Johnston, arrived
at Cowes on Wednesday, after a good passage of fourteen
and a half days from New York. She left on the evening
of the 25th, having been detained from the 20th. The
Acadia had arrived out. Tho /Traehipwion brings 60

passengers and 350,000 dollars in specie.
A fire had broken out at Albany, in the rear of the resi-
dence of N. Starks on the south-west corner of Westero
and Church-streets. The entire block, bounded by
Church, Westerlo, John, and Dallius streets, was burned
to the groui.d, including the church on Westerlo-street.
One or two houses on Dallius-street escaped. Almost all
the houses on the south side of John-street, between
Dallius and Church, were burned.
The Sarah Sands, 18 days from Liverpool, arrived at
New York on the 21st ult., and the Acadia, 16i days
from Liverpool, reached Boston on the 23d. The Euro-
p San intelligence conveyed by] those vessels had caused
great excitement and uneasiness in New York, and a gene-
ral European war was considered inevitable. The Acadia's
advices had the effect of lowering the price of cotton about
ie. to lc. per lb. Bread stuffs of all sorts remained firm.
The orders from the continent to sell American State
Stocks had made the market for Pennsylvanians and Ohios

heavy.
The money market generally was not so tight, and
loans and advances on good security were more easily
abtaina)le ; the banks were in a strong position, and
specie gradually flowing in from the interior. The a-
amount of coin shipped for the week ending 15th of April
was 686,275 dol. ; and from January Ist to April 15th
inclusive, 3,809,554 dol. The receipts of the American
Customs for the fiscal year were estimated by the secre-
tary of the Treasury to amount to 31,000,000 dol., of
which 28,000,000 dol. had already been realized. Ex-
change on London was firm at 1101 to 111.

FRANCE

The National Assembly met on Wednesday at eleven,
and commenced the ballot for the members of the Exe-

The voting concluded at five, and the

Lamartine, 683 ; Ledru Rollin, 458. These five are the
Government, with power to appoint the members of the
Ministry.

THE DANISH DUCHIES.
. _

The Danish Government have resolved--
0 1. That for the present neither the mouths of the Elbe, nor

zic, Stralsund, Rostock, and Wismar, shall be raised from the
16th instant, and that only the Bay of Kiel, with the entrance
to the Schleswig Canal shall be blockaded ; but that ou the

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—We are glad to report a further improve-
ment in business since Tuesday. An increase of confidence is
gradually taking place, so far, at Last, that the commission
houses look upon present prices as warrantinw a prompt execu-
tion of their orders; and the foreign merchants, home-trade
, dealers and calico printers, deem itsafe to lay in stocks to a
moderate extent. ' A larger and more general demand is expe-
rienced for goods. The lighter descriptions- of 40-inch and
other widths of skirtings, together with madepollams, T cloths,
and long cloths, are in request for various markets. Ilesines
other fabrics, shirting widths are wanted for printing. Many
of the manufacturers being now under contract, there is an
attempt making to obtain an advance of bid. per piece upon the
fabrics above named. The improvement in yarns is scarcely
equal to that in goods within the last day or two. A business
of considerable extent has, however, been done, in the course
of the week, and is still doing. Low numbers are particularly
active, and rather higher prices are realized. The operations
of this week considerably exceed those of last week. Prices
are marhed by increased firmness throughout, with a trifling
advance in, some kinds of yarns and cloths.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—WC have had a numerous
attendance in the flannel market this week, and the demand for
all descriptions of manufactured goods was equal to what we
have had for several weeks past. An average quantity of wool
was sold, and the prices of both flannel and wool remain sta-
tionary.
LEEDS.—The woollen trade has been rather dull this week,
in the warehouses, as well as at the public markets. Manufac-
turers, though acting with great caution, continue pretty well
employed. Prices are without alteration, and stocks are not
heavy.
BRADFORD.—A good average business is doing in pieces, and
there is an improved demand for yarn. There is no alteration
in wools.
HALIFAX.—There has been a better attendance of merchants
in the Piece Hall this week than has been usual of late, but the
amount of their purchases was not large. Theprincipal inquiry
was for fancy goods, but the prices offered were too low to be
generally accepted. In yarns there are few ord rs giving out
for the continent, as might be expected at this advanced period
of the season, and consequently there is rather less activity.
The demand for home consumption is very limited. Wool con-
tinues to go off steadily, and some of the sorts that are most in
request are held rather snore stiffly ; but there is an entire ab-
sence of speculation, and the spinners buy only to meet their
present wants.
HUDDERSFIELD.—There has been a very quiet market this
week, and little either of inquiry or demand for goods, busi-
ness, at this season, being unusually dull.--Prices are without
any alteration, and stocks kept very low.
