ADVANTAGEOUS OFFER.
TIIE Proprietor of Extensive PREMISES, originally in-
tended for a Mill, possessed of adequate water-'power, and
situate about five English miles from die city of Leipzic, in
Saxony, in Germany, is desirous of Letting on lease for 20
Years, and at a rent exceedingly moderate, PART of the same,
presenting all the Buildings and Ottices requisitk for theereetion
of machinery for spinning Woollen Yarns. The Buildings, which
were newly constructed for such„a purpose only a few years ago,
are in the most complete an 'ubstantial repair, and the ex-
pense of locating the mach' ry would therefore be very
ik tßi-
ding. The situation of the 'roperty is in a very fertile valley,
surrounded -by numerous and populous villages, whose inhabi-
tants present a large and desirable choice of industrious and
cheap hands, well experienced in the art of spinning wool. The
present offer would particularly suit those who are already prac-
tically acquainted with that kind of manufacture—they well
know to appreciate all the advantages to be derived from an
establishment founded on i?rinciples of economy, and from the
circumstance of having the raw material produced at their own
door—and whO, moreover, are not less acquainted with the
filet, that in consequence of the increasing importance of the
manufacture of Merinos, Thibets, tk.c. inSaxony, a larger quan-
of Yarns is already required there than is produced by the now
existing works.

The following. Critiques appeared among the notices of
Fraser's Magazine, during the time that the Schoolmaster'a
Series were in the course of publication in that Periodical
" Fraser, of this month, appears to us to outstrip all his con-
temporaries. In support of our opinion we need only refer to
the Schoolmaster's -Experience in Newgate,' a most able ex-
position of the abuses in the administration of the criminal
law."—Morning Herald.

" In Fraser's Magazine for July, there is an article under the
title of the-Schoohnaster's Experlence in Newgate,' the second
of a series, which lays bare the shocking injustice towards the
poor in our criminal courts in a Masterly manner."—Morning

head of the very ablest papdrs In the cumber."-=True Sun.

"A most important exposure, evidently the work of a sensible
man, thoi•oughly acquainted with the workings of our vicious
system in all their details, and having accurate ideas of the
necessary improvements."--Examieer.
"The third paper on 'the Schoolmaster's Experience in New-
gate' csentains such important matter as must arrest the atten-
tion of those in authority."—Derbyshire Courier and Chester field
Gazette.

" Fraser's Magazine for August is replete with much interest-
ing matter. We have been much struck with a paper, which
has been continued in several numbers, on the criminal juris-
prudence of the country, and entitled the Schoolmaster in
Newgate."—Ptymouth Herald.

"We are glad to find the Schoolmaster' is to be continued,
for it lays open such an hitherto unknown field of observation—
it places the condition of Newgate and the conduct of the judges
in so new a light, and yet so evidently correct, that every law-
man in the kingdom, be he attorney, conveyancer, especial
pleader, or whatever else, will benefit from its perusal; and
will be glad after that perusal to use his influence to procure t
change in the practice of those who preside at the criminal
courts of the criminal sessions in the .inetropolis. The cause
and continual increase in 'London of thieves is distinctly pointed
out, the manner and accuracy of which is it impossible to dis-
pute."
"But the Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate' is the
article of articles, for utility and deep interest, among all the
magazines of the mouth."—Gloucester Journal.
" The Regina, of July, exhibits many beauties;and some good
intentions, which atone for her political sins—the errors of ultra,
Toryism. Few periodiCals have so rapidly progressed, or have
been so firmly fixed in public estimation, in the same given time,.
as Fraser's Magazine. The boldness, vigour, and ortginalitv of
its political papers, and the freshness and playful hinnotr of its
lighter articles, renderC this monthly visitor generally interesting,
A continuation of the Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate'
is a production of the deepest interest; it is a distressing dove-
lopment of the mal-administration and anomalous working of
our criminal code, as proved by the• proceedings at the Old
Bailey. The writer appears accurately conversant with the
operations of this abominable system, and has furnished a body
of evidence, which ought to arrest the immediate attention of
those who devote their talents and influence to reform existing
abuses."--illon mouth Merlin.

"There are many other papers in Frasei's Magazine that de.
serve comment, but we have neither space nor time for the task,
especially as we intend to draw largely upon the Schoolmaster's
Experience.' The public are deeply indebted to this writer for
his abre'scries of-papers."—Weeki Dispatch.

" 'The Schoolmaster's Experience,' which graces the pages

whose natural beauties and other distinguishing features he has

"'l3arbadoes' occupies nearly half the volume, and being

EADVERTUSEMENT.I
TO THE EDITOR OP THE LIrERPOOL ST-11VDARD

Liverpool, 18th October, 1833.
-SIR,—H-aving, on Wednesday, the 16th instant, served a
'notice, in writing, upon the auctioneers, Messrs. Winstauley
and Sons, at the Clarendon-rooms, South John-street, Liver-
pool, that a bill had actually been tiled in Chancery, pursuant
to the notices which had already appeared in several of the
Liverpool papers, and thereof requested them to give notice to
the public previously to the sale of the freehold and copyhold
estates belongrug to the late Edmund Livesey, may I beg the
favour of your inserting, in your paper, the following extracts
from answers, upon oath, of two of the defendants, Edmund W.
Livesey, the heir-at-law, and Elizabeth Livesey, the widow of
the late Edmund Livesey, to a. bill filed in Chancery in Novem-
ber, 1823, by this same party, who lately attempted' to sell the
estates.

Defendant Edmund Livesev admits, that Edmund Live-
sey, deceased, did make and publish his last will and testament,
in writing, of. such date, purport and effect, as in the said bill
-in that behalf set forth, so tar as the same is therein set forth;
but defendant saith, that the said will was not according to the
instructions and intentions of the said testator; for defendant
iraith, that the said testator gave instructions and intended that
the said estates should, on failure of issue of him, the said
Edmund W. Livesey, devolve upon his younger sons, James
W. Livesev and H. Livesey, and their issue successively,
before the iimications therein inserted for the benefit of the
slaughters of the said testator aud, their issue, but that such
limitations or dispositions for the benefit of the said younger
ions of the said testator and their issue, were accidentally or in-
advertently omitted by the solicitor who prepared the said will.
Defendant •Edmund W. Livesey further saith that, for several
years before the date of the said will, and thenceforward to the
time of his death, the said testator was unfortunately addicted
to excessive intemperance in drinking, and that, in conse-
quence thereof, he was, fur long periods of time, in a state of
absolute derangement and utter incapacity to manage his own
affairs, but that, sometimes, during such periods, he was rather
less intemperate, and, iu some measure, recovered, and able to
do valid acts respecting his property.
Defendant Elizabeth Livesey admits it to be true that said
testator did make and publish such instrument as in said bill is
mentioned to be his last will and testament in writing, and that
the seine was of such date, purport, and effect as in said hill in
that behalf set forth so far as the same is therein set forth, but
defendant believes and avers the fact to be that said instrument,
so far as the same is or may be in the bill alleged, or may pur-
port or appear upon the face thereof to be or to contain a com-
plete declaration of the will and intention of said testator, in
respect of his real estates therein mentioned, and the limitations
thereby created in respect thereof, is erroneous and defective,
and was not framed according to the instructions and intentions
of said testator, for this defendant saith and avers the fact to be
that said testator gave instructions and intended that the estates
should in case of failure of issue of Edmund Worthington
Livesev, another of the defendants in said bill named as therein
mentioned, devolve upon his younger sons and their issue sac-
.cessively, Fedora the limitations therein inserted for the benefit
of the daughters of said testator and their issue, but that such
limitations or dispositions for the benefit of the younger sous of
said testator and their issue were omitted by the solicitor who
prepared said will and testament. Defendant Elizabeth Live-
sey further saith that the said testator, for several years previously
to and up to the time of his death, was unhappily addicted to
excessive intemperance in drinking, and that in consequence
thereof he was for long periods of time in every year in a state
of absolute mental derangement and utterly incapacitated to
manage his own affairs; but that sometimes during such periods
he was rather less intemperate, and recovered his senses and
mental faculties.

The Master of the Rolls, at the hearing of the cause in July,
1830, observed, that the testator. Edmund Livesey, evidently
was not a man capable of managing his own affairs, and gave
me liberty to take such proceedings as I might think fit to esta-
blish my own rights as heir-at-law and the eldest son, although
the question of construction as to the words eldest or only son,
in the alleged will, was never argued.
I have, therefore, filed a bill in Chancery to establish my
rights to the freehold and copyhold estates, being advised
that there were not proper or sufficient parties to the former
suit of Livesey v. Harding, the delay hitherto having pprinci•
pally arisen from a desire to settle amicably and avoid furthsr
litigation in my own family, as a series of correspondence, in
possession of myself and solicitors, will sufficiently establish.—
lain, Sir, yours, respectfully, JAMES W. LIVESEY.

LONDON POLICE REPORT.

LAMBETH-STREET.

Jane Walls, the girl who stood remanded on a charge of
arson, in having set fire to the dwelling-house of Mr. Stones, a
respectable farmer, residing at Barking-side, Essex, was brought
up for final examination. Miller, the principal officer, as di-
rected by the magistrates on the previous examination, pro-
duced a portion of the floor, and the papering of the room in
which the bed had been set on fire by the prisoner,. hut they
slid nut appear to be burnt through, but merely scorched.
Mr. Flower, of the firm of Harmer and Co., who attended on
behalf of the pritouer, handed to the magistrates a certificate, of
which the following is a copy:—
"33, New Broad-street.
"I hereby certify, that I have been in the habit of attending,
in February last, Jane Walls, who was a patient of the Eastern
Dispensary, and who was attacked by a severe fever, accom-
panied with' much delirium and disease of the brain. Her con-
valescence was remarkably slow, and her mind for a long time
feeble, as is often the care in such an attack of fever ,• but I know
nothing of her state of mind since she discontinued to be a pa-
tient at the Dispensary.
i°Octobdr 21, 1833." " SOUTHWOOD SMITH, M.D."

In addition to this, her mother and several respectable per-
sons said that. she had her head shaved several times in conse-
quence of fever and giddiness; and that at the death of her
lather, a month since, her manner indicated that she had not
recovered-Irene the effects of her illness.

Mr. Stones, in reply to the questions of the magistrates, said,
t6o. in 6" " in himself nor any of his fatly
observed the slightest giddiness of manner in the prisoner; on
the contrary, she always appeared very steady and &emotive for
tier age.
Mr. Hardwick, after having conferred with Mr. Walker, ob-
served, that under all the circumstances, and in the absence of
anything like proof of malice on the part of the prisoner, they
would not commit her for the capital offence; but the charge
was one of so serious a nature that it was impossible to overlook
it, and they would therefore send her to take her trial for the
minor offence, of misdemeanour, in attempting to set the house
on fire.

The evidence of the witnesses was then taken, and the youth-
ful yrisoner committed to take her trial at the next Chelinaford
aunts.

On the application of Mr. Flower she was admitted to bail,
and taken tome by her friends.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.

FORGING THE GOLDSMITH'S HALL MARKS.
•Wm. Treen, the man charged with forging the Hall mark to
a quantity of silver spoons, which were found in the shop. of
Mr. Thos. Com. Savory, the silversmith, of Cornhill, was tried
-on Saturday, before Mr. Baron Vaughan, and acquitted_
On Monday. Mr. Savory was arraigned before the same
learned judge for exposing for sale this plate, with a guilty
knowledge that the marks impressed upon it were forgeries.
it was nut denied that these marks were counterfeited; but
he evidence- adduced, on the part of the prosecution, failed in-
proving that Mr. Savory was cognizant of it, and
Mr. Baron Vaughan, in his summing up, observed that there
was a total absence of any plod of a guilty knowledge on the
part of the defendant • but, at the same time, be was of opinion
that the prosecution hadi been most properly instituted.
The jury, without turning round, pronounced a verdict of Not
Guilty.
Mr. Alley said that there was a second indictment against
the defendant, but after the full investigation which had just
terminated, he should not think of pressing it.
A verdict of Not Guilty was then recorded on the second in-
siictinent, in the usual form.

The trial occupied from ten o'clock in the morning until five
o'clock, and the court was crowded to excess during the whole
of the proceedings,

CANNING AND EARL GREY.

The Earl of Blessington had often intellectual parties, se-
lected with solicitude, at his table; and one day, the Countess
resolved to have for her friends,
" A feast of reason and a flow of soul ;"
for which purpose some of the most brilliant orbs of London
were brought •into conjunction. Her ladyship, in asking me to
be a gazer, told me what phenomena wouid shine out, assuring
me that many a day might come to pass before the cycle of
such another meeting would come round ; nor, indeed, was it
possible to conceive that so many accomplished characters
could he assembled, some of them greatly distinguished for their
conversational brilliancy, without eliciting sparkles and scintil-
lations worthy of ever being held in remembranet. Alas !
empty as musty filberts are all earthly expectations ! It proved
one of the ,dullest congregations that ever sat making long
faces together in conventicle. When the company adjourned
to the drawing-roo n, the aspect of things rather improved; and
the dread of elle another, to which, no doubt, the dulness of the
dinner-table may be ascribed, was lessened by the scattering, and
by others coming in; but a more complete failure cannot be ima-
gined. In all kocial ease it was below a very common party. Ne-
vertheless to me one incident was memorable. I was standing
near a wiudow in one of the back drawing-rooms, when Earl
Grey and Mr. Canning did me the honour of addressing me.
From the place in which I stood there was no moving ; nor
was I, much incliued, for after a short conversation, they began
to converse together, and I became interested. The opportunity
of comparing two such eminent men was too precious to be
neglected. Whether owing to the impression left on me by
"the dirgie" of the game in the dining-room, or really to
some greater dignity of manner, I shall not attempt to deter-
mine, but Earl Grey both in colloquial taste and expression
seemed decidedly the superior. His remarks were not less
neatly and simply made, but there was a sustained aristocracy
about him exceedingly Aaracteristic •' and I should think, from
the tones of his voice and the general deportment, he must have
been very pleasing to those with whom he was intimate. Mr. Can-
ning had more -of the House of Commons about him, with
something like pertinacity, especially when there was any
difference in opinion between them ; and the conversation,
happily, was apt to bring out peculiarities of that kind in-
deed, he differed with his noble autagonist, I thought, as briskly
as if they had been discussing the previous question else-
where; but the matter in question was no less debateable.
-tit Earl Grey's elhow stood a beautiful marble statue of a female
in- fashionable nudity; and their debate arose, from observing
bee--feet, respecting the point of beauty in the female foot; his
lordship maintaining that it consisted in a certain smoothness
of fleshy fulness Canning thought the reverse; and finding
themselves as little like to agree as on a matter of the status
ant. belLu=, Sir Thomas- Lawrence;,-who was of the party, was
appealed .to. He, of course, sided with the Earl; but Canning
was not satisfied, and continued the controversy. Sir Thomas,
as all the world knows, was a very saponaceous character, but,
1 Juspect, not possessed of the most mellifluous spirit. Being
pricked by the pugnacity of Canning, he said, that if there was
no other way ef convincing him, he would call in the Countess,
and ask her to show her foot. "Ah !" replied Canning, "if
you will do that, I'll say black is white, and give in."—Galt.

A ovrtrut. Sont.—" You will of course immediately join the
mess, Mr —," said Adjutant —to Ensign —, on the
day of his arrival at the regitnent. " You are very kind, sir,"
stammered out the incipienthero; " but the last promise which

ever."
MDRAIATY PIGS.—Some time since* a gentleman farmer
was ha-gaining with a pig-driver'Lo.-Durchester market for two

CAPTAIN ROSS.

(FRO3I OLR LONDON PRivATE CORRESPONDENT.)

We base seen.a long statement sent by Captain Ross to the
Lords of the Admiralty, being a detail of the expedition front
which he has so extraordinarily returned. In this he sums up
his discoveries to be the Gulf of Boothia, the Continent, and
the Isthmus of Boothia Felix, with its lakes. Hellas also un-
deniably established that the north-east point of North Ame-
rica extends to the 74th degree, north lat. Leopold South
Island is the north-east point of America, in lat. 73. 56., Long.
th). W. The sufferings of the party are described with great
simplicity and evident truth. By the natives, hitherto insu-
lated by nature and unknown to strangers, Captain Ross was
directed to where the impossibility of a north-west passage that
way was fully ascertained. Two great seas, described by these
Atiorigines, were found to be divided by a neck of land fifteen
miles braal, composed of two high ridges, between which su
the vallies two-thirds of the land was occupied by a chain of
lakes, leaving actually only five miles of land between. The
Captain speaks in the highest terms of Mr. M‘Diarmid, the sur-
geon, and of the men accompanying him, whom he strongly
recommends to the notice of the government. Altogether, if
anything were wanting, this detail proves Captain Russ to be
a most noble fellow.

I am still ' numbered among the living,' I avail myself of the
opportunity of a ship bound to your -hospitable island to send
you these few lines. Our voyage nas been most eventful and
interesting, and although it has ended in the loss of our little
vessel, which we have been obliged to leave frozen up in a
harbour which we discovered, we trust that when the important
discoveries we have made, and our sufferings, are taken into
consideration, that no one concerned will be suffered to lose on
this occasion. Our endeavours have indeed been completely
successful, but in a very different way from what had been an-
ticipated. We found 'land instead of water, and have unques-
tionably proved that there is no N.W. passage to the southward
of 70 deg. north, or by Prince Regent's Inlet. Our discoveries
may be said to consist in the establishment of no passage to the
southward of 74 deg. ; the discovery of a large inhabited tract of
land, between lat. 69 and 72 deg. ; and an isthmus, which di-
vides the eastern from the western sea, only five miles in breadth;
and the discovery of the true position of the magnetic pole.
We have existed on the provisions landed from the Fury, and,
last winter, lived in a snow house on Fury beach. On the 26th
August last, we were picked up by my old ship the Isabella, in
the Fury's boats. We have only lost three men. I need
searcly add, that our constitutions have had a severe blow; but
we have all wonderfully-recovered since we got on board the
Isabella, where we were most kindly received.
" P.S.—I will scud you a copy of my public letter when I get
to the Admiralty."
On Sunday, Captain Ross, accompanied by Commander
Ross, attended the Lords of the Admiralty, by whom, we under-
stand, they were most favourably received, and welcomed on
their arrival.
The particulars of their voyage are long, and of course highly
interesting; but, as yet, few of the details are known. It seems
they succeeded, after much difficulty, in reaching the place
where the Fury was wrecked, on the shore of Prince Regent's
Inlet, in August, 1825, in Captain Parry's third voyage. 'They
looked for the hull of this vessel, but in vain, as not a vestige
remained, and Captain Ross supposed it must have been forced
off the beach by the ice, floated by that immense body to sea, and,
on the melting of its support, had sunk. This event was most
calamitous to the expedition, as much dependence had been
placed on what was considered a supply of timber; but the
elements had not left a " wreck behind. Such of the stores,
provisions, preserved meats, &c., as had been lauded when the
Fury was abandoned, were found front the circumstance of
their having been carried further up the beach, out of high-
water mark, when taken out of the ship. The benefit ultimate-
ly derived from these most seasonable supplies were of the
greatest importance vital they were not, as we learn, sufficient;
. and the means of the ice-bound navigators were occasionally
made upon sea's, musk bulls, bears, foxes, and such birds as
could be procured; and these delicate repasts were, latterly,
washed clown with pure water, their stock of spirits being ex-
hausted. The whole of the individuals that; originally sailed
in the Victory steam vessel (which was abandoned after the
first season,) consisted of twenty-three persons, of whom all
except three have returned. This sas been a most wonderful
interposition of Divine Providence, as there are no instances
upon record of any human beings passing four successive
winters in such a rigorous climate.
No opportunity presented itself of communicating with
England, and but once did they see any individuals. These
proved to be a party of Esquimaux, and who had heard, a very
long time before, of Captain Parry's ships having been seen by
some of their own tribe.
That frightful scourge to seamen, the scurvy, made its ap-
pearance among the people of the expedition, and several of this
brave crew experienced its baneful effects most severely. Some
were greatly reduced and emaciated, and so ill when they
reached the Isabella as to be carried on board that vessel,
where, in about a month, their health, and, indeed that of all,
which had suffered more or less, was happily re-established.—
Albion.
Captain Ross and his nephew had the honour of dining with
his Majesty, at Windsor Castle, on Sunday. Their reception
was highly gratifying, and they will not forget the kind atten-
tions they received from his Majesty and the royal family.
The latest accounts received from Captain Back left him at a
post belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company, called Cheper-
wyans, and which is in the 61st degree of latitude, and 113 de-
grees of west longitude. Here Captain Back proposed winter-
ing, so that very little difficulty is likely to be experienced in
conveyin to him, as proposed, the intelligence of the safe
arrival of-Captain Ross, whom he was in quest of.—Glasgow
Herald.

So entirely had the Admiralty relinquished all expectation of
the return of Captain Ross, that, fur the last two years, the
name of that distinguished officer has nut appeared in the list
of captains, nor his nephew's name in that of commanders.
