THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

At the half-yearly meeting of the Charing Cross Bridge
Company, a dividend of 18s., or nearly 71 per cent., was
declared. The directors stated in their report that they
were proceeding with the bill in parliament to enable them
to complete the sale of the bridge to Messrs. Wm. Jack-
son and others, who were taking all proper steps to con-
clude the bargain.
SALE OF A CHILD 1- A woman named Taylor, residing
in the neighbourhood of Farringdon-street last week sold
her child, a fine little boy, to a lady who came in her car-
riage, and paid half a sovereign as earnest money. After-
wards she exhibited the urchin denuded of his dirty rags
and clothed in the richest honour, and took him away
with her, promising to call and pay the remainder of the
" purchase-money' (X 2 or £5) as may be required. The
grandfather cf the child repudiates the whole transaction
INCENDIARISM.—A destructive fire, caused by some
malicious incendiary, took place on Saturday week, at
Bottisham, in Cambridgeshire. The flames extended
over two farms and other buildings. and no less than 150
coombs of wheat, with several agricultural implements,
were destroyed. What adds to the calamity is, that fifteen
cottages were burned down, and 24 poorfamiliesthus turned
out of house and home. The farms and stacks were par-
tially insured.
THE LONDON ALDERMEN.—The Lord Mayor has
thought it right to offer some explanation as to the charge
of several of the aldermen being unfindable by John Doe
and Richard Roe. His Lordship says, that there are not
more of his brethren absent than are usually away at this
time of the year. Certainly some may be abroad for pri-
vate affairs, and some may be abroad for health ; but it is
not the less true, that at home there are numerous legal
claimants on their attention, whom it is inconvenient for
them to meet.—Railway Herald.
In the melancholy case of shooting, between Harro-
gate and Otley, mentioned in last week's paper, the co-
roner's jury returned a verdict of " Excusable homicide."
It appeared that John Brotherton, the poor fellow who
was shot, had acted in the most imprudent manner,
arising, no doubt, from his being intoxicated at the time,
and that Hugh England, the servant man who fired the
gun, as well as Mr. Atkinson and his family, were under
great apprehension that Brotherton was one of a party
of burglars who were trying to get into the house.
SAVINGS' BANKS.—From an official return of Mr.
Tidd Pratt, it appears that there are in England 445
savings' bank, with 832,290 accounts and deposits,
amounting to £25,112,865. There are 428 tit n lly so-
cieties, investing directly with the National Debt Office,
with an amount of deposits of £1,770,775. There are
23 savings' banks in Wales, 73 in Ireland, and 36 in
Scotland. The average amount of each depositor in
Wales is £2B, precisely the same as in England ; in Ire-
land it is £29, whilst in Scotland it is only £l4.
DETERMINED SUICIDE. A young woman, named
Lydia Price, 25 years old, having left her situation at
Brecon, on Saturday, took arsenic, and afterwards applied
for out-door relief at the workhouse. Being told that this
could not be granted unless she became an inmate, she
went away, and applied at
.another chemist's shop for
more arsenic, but cream of tartar was given to her in-
stead. Being taken ill, she was conveyed to the work-
house, where, notwithstanding an obstinate resistance on
her part, the stomach pump was applied and the chest re-
lieved. It was, however, too late, and the rash woman
expired the same evening. The jury returned a verdict
offelo de se, and the suicide was interred without Chris-
tian burial.

MANSION-HOUSE, SATURDAY.—RINGING A PEAL IN
HONOUR OF PEEL'S TARIFF.—Miss Julia Jones, a very
pretty damsel, dressed in a fashionable polka, was charged
with pulling the bell of Mr. Bennett, of Fencburch-street,
at two o'clock in the morning. Julia said she had supped
with a party of friends, on her return from the theatre,
and had perhaps taken a little more refreshment than
agreed with her, as she had drunk two or three glasses to
" the health of Sir R. Peel," and " Success to his Tariff,"
and she supposed it was that which induced her to ring a
peal in honour of Peel. She hoped the Lord Mayor
would look over the offence, as it was her first frolic.—
The Lord Mayor discharged the fair Julia, having advised
her to beware of her second frolic.
SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—On the 4th instant, a young
man, named Phelan, was engaged, with another person,
at Messrs. Stephenson's engine factory, Newcastle-on-
Tyne, in grinding a piece of iron on a grindstone driven
by an engine, when in an instant the stone flew into
numberless pieces, one of the parts flying upwards with
tremendous force and breaking the beam and floor of the
upper room, and, striking the steam-pipe in its descent,
broke it. and filled the building with steam. Another
portion of the stone is supposed to have struck Phelan,
as, when the steam cleared away, be was discovered lying
on his face, his head and face being dreadfully injured.
He died about two hours afterwards.

ALARMING ACCIDENT.—At the Broad Oak Colliery,
near Ashton-under-Lyne, 20 poor men had a very narrow
escape from being crushed to atoms, by the fall of 100 tons
of rock and rubbish. It appears that a body of coal bad
got on fire at the bottom of one of the pits, which the men
had found great difficulty in trying to extinguish, on ac-
count of the great heat of the burning mass, but had at
last succeeded in getting a fire engine down the pit. On
Monday, the steam arising from throwing water on the
burning coal, got into the roof, and brought down with a
tremendous crash the mass of materials named above.—
Fortunately the men had not commenced work, or every
soul would have perished'; three are seriously injured.
The fire is not extinguished.
THE DISTIN FAMILY.—These accomplished performers
on the Sax horns are at present in Paris, where they are
highly popular. It appears they have attended soirees,
given by the Duc de Montpensier, and other illustrious
individuals. On Friday last, they had an especial " com-
mand" to the Tuileries, and they played a variety f their
most attractive pieces, in the presence of the King and
Queen of the French, Princess Adelaide, Duchess of
Orleans, Duchess of Nemours, Dec de Montpensier, Due
de Aurnale, Prince de Joinville, and about 60 guests of
distinction. His majesty took occasion to express the
pleasure he experienced in listening to the effects of the
horns • and even to request the performance of " God
save the queen." The Distins proceed immediately to
Germany, on a three months' professional tour.
SERIOUS'AFFRAY.—For some time, a hostile feeling
has existed between the English and Irish workmen em-
ployed at the Derweet iron-works, and pugilistic en-
counters have been the consequence. On Sunday night,
about nine o'clock, whilst a numbet of these workmen,
composed chiefly of English, were sitting in a beer-house,
at Blackhill, a party of the Irish repaired to the house,
armed with sticks, stones, and other missiles, and com-
menced an attack upon it by smashing the windows and
other outrages. Soon afterwards, the English party in-
side were joined by a number of their comrades, when a
desperate engagement ensued, which lasted for several
hours, and during which from forty to fifty on each side
were more or less disabled by cuts and bruises, three of
whom are now lying in a very precarious state, and almost
beyond the hope of recovery.—Durham Chronicle.
A DEEP BEGGAR.—A fellow is going about at Lincoln,
vending trifling articles and begging, who, to induce the
people to make purchases or give him something, pro-
fesses to be a religious person in reduced circumstances.
To enable him to work the better upon the feelings of the
religious, he produces what purports to be the certificate
of a minister. It turns out that he has a number of those
certificates, and that he is, if they are to be believed, a
faithful member of nearly every religious sect in the
country. Unfortunately, the other day, he endeavoured
to exci e the pity of a Lincoln independent, and to clench
the appeal, pulled out what he imagined and stated to be
the certificate of an independent minister, as a proof of
his godliness ; but, lo ! the paper turned out to be " the
wrong one," the unitarian certificate, and so, of course,
the scamp was turned out.
Some alarmiag potato riots took place at Inverness a
few days since. The lower classes opposed the shipment
of potatoes, in spite of the police, magistrates, and mili-
tary, and they proceeded to smash windows, and threa-
tened or attempted to set fire to the Provost's distillery.
Ten or twelve persons were wounded ; the riot act had to
be read, and a proclamation issued ; and many were taken
prisoners. No potatoes were shipped on Thursday, so
that no opportunity was efforded to one side to brave the
other. Some of the inhabitants think this is occasioned
by fear acting on the farmers, and that they will not at-
tempt to ship. This is all delusion. The true cause of
their inertness is the severity of the frost, which would
spoil the potatoes between the barnyard and the wharf.
Some farmers have sent supplies into the market. The
potatoes sell at the exporting price, say 16s. per boll. To
appease the populace, Mr. Fraser, farmer, called the
town crier to advertise the inhabitants that whoever
wished to purchase potatoes might be supplied by him
with any quantity they wanted.
BANNS OF MARRIAGE FORBIDDEN.--At Great Whit-
ley Church, on Sunday, the Ist instant, the bans of mar-
riage between Thomas Bowen and Elizabeth Stringer
were publicly forbidden by the mother of the intended
bridegroom. They had been published for two Sundays
previously, but as soon as the reverend divine had com-
menced for the third and last time, out started Mrs.
Bowen into the middle of the church, end exclaimed in a
loud voice, to the utter astonishment of the clergyman
and congregation, including also those occupying the pew
of royalty, "/ forbid the banns in this church and all
others." The reverend gentleman, for a rnomet,t or so,
was in a " fix," but as soon as he recovered himself he
told the old lady he would see her in the vestry after ser-
vice. We have not since heard the result.—On Sunday
week, when the officiating minister at the parish church,
Stockton, was publishing a long list of names of candi-
dates for connubial bliss, and in the act of pronouncing
the names of a certain couple, an individual present ex-
claimed, in a loud stentorian voice, " I forbid the banns."
On being afterwards requested to state the " why and the
wherefore" he said the " would be" bridegroom was his
son, and that he was only 18 years of age. The next day,
however, matters were amicably arranged between the
parties, and the indissoluble knot has since been tied.
ROYAL COLLEGE OF CHYMISTRY.- -H is Royal Highness
Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Wylde, on Thursday
visited the laboratories of the Royal College of Chymistry.
where he was met by Professors Hoffman, Brande, and
Taylor, and Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell. His royal
highness made a very minute inspection of the laboratories
and examined every student as to the point they had
reached in the systematic course of study adopted. He
then witnessed a selection of interesting experiments, in-
cluding the method of analyzing organic compounds,
known as Liebeg's organic combustion. His royal high-
ness, being well acquainted with the present state of the
science of chymistry, has, from the first projection of the
College of Chymistry, afforded it his support. After
spending more than an hour in the laboratory, his royal
highness met Lords Palmerston, Hill, Newry and Morne,
and Ehrington, Sir J. J. Guest, Sir James Clark, Hon.
W. B. Baring, M. P., J. Denison, M. P., Mr. W. Ewart,
M. P., end presided at a meeting of the council. The
principal resolution passed at this meeting was that the
building of the laboratories be commenced forthwith.
His royal highness then inspected the site for the labora-
tories and the plans of Mr. Lockyer, the architect, and
expressed his approbation of all the arrangements for the
establishment of the institution, and added a second dona-
tion of £lOO to the building fund.

The lambing season this year has been exceedingly
favourable. The earliest lambs obtained were from the
Dorset ewes, and from the mild state of the weather they
have continued on the grass lands, and are now in a for-
ward state. Among the south down ewes lambing is now
very general. The lambs are dropped very strong. and
more than the average number of twins are produced.
Sheep feed is very abundant in most counties, and should
the weather remain in its present mildness, the couples
will continue in their folds, and lambs will be ready for
the markets much earlier than usual.
THE WARWICKSHIRE MURDER.—The examination
of Reed, who was apprehended on Friday week, at Bir-
mingham, on suspicion of having murdered Thomas Tran-
ter, a farmer at Berkswell, twelve weeks ago, took place
at Solihull, near Birmingham, on Monday. The magis-
trates took the examination privately, and the accused was
remanded. He has always been described as a fresh
coloured young lad, of eighteen years of age, but now is
very haggard looking, and has the appearance of having
suffered much privation. He was apprehended by a milk-
man, named Pane, in Dale-end, Birmingham, that person
having previously known him.
SENTENCE ON A RETURNED TRANSPORT.—A few
months ago, a convict, named John Potter, surrendered
himself at the Mansion-house, London, and alleged that
he was an escaped convict from New South Wales. lie
said he had a great chance of liberty, but he wished to
surrender himself, and be sent back to the colony. He
was aware of the dreadful sufferings of the convicts, yet
he would not shrink from suffering if he could effect good
to others. The fact was, that since he got away, he had
been converted ; and, feeling the sinful and degraded state
in which convicts lived, he thought that, if he again went
over amongst them, he should prove an instrument of
much good. Great sympathy was felt, and Sir James
Graham was applied to for a pardon; but this, he said,
could not be granted in the first instance—the prisoner
must be dealt with in the ordinary way. The prisoner
was, on Tuesday, brought into the New Court, when the
Common Sergeant briefly referred to his case : without
presuming in what way Government would act, he had
only to pronounce the judgment as in an ordinary case of
being unlawfully at large. The sentence was, that the
prisoner be further confined in Newgate for three calendar
months, and then be transported for life.

•
MIRACULOUS EscarE.—On Monday, a most alarming
accident occurred at Sudbury, Derbyshire. Lord Ches-
terfield, and a number of distinguished guests from the
seat of the noble Earl. arrived at Sudbury Hall, formerly
the residence of the Queen Dowager, for the purpose of
enjoying a day's fox-hunting. The morning was beauti-
fully flue, and the party exceeded any former gathering
of the kind. They were met by Mr. .Meynell's hounds,
and everything gave promise of a most delightful day's
sport. An accident, however, occurred to Mr. Potle, of
Radbourne Hall, which gave birth to another of a more
fearful kind. This gentleman was thrown from his horse,
and the animal galloped off at full speed, when it was met
by the carriage of Lord Chesterfield, which contained four
ladies—viz., Mrs. Clay, of Sudbury Hall, and her two
daughters, and Miss Turner, who had kept the road as
spectators of the sportsmen. The coachman, seeing the
horse approaching, incautiously quitted his seat for the
purpose of stopping the animal, when the horses dashed
off with the carriage at full speed, for more than two
miles, and threw the carriage on its side on an embank-
ment; the carriage was immediately righted again by the
horses, but only to be upset on the other side; they went
on a little further, when the carriage again was thrown on
its right side, and the horses stopped of their own accord.
Every assistance was immediately rendered to the unfor-
tunate ladies, who, we are happy to say, have escaped
with their lives. Mrs. Clay had her collar-bone dislo-
cated, and the other ladies were slightly bruised. The
jewellery, watches, and trinkets of the fair owners were
scattered in all directions, and the carriage was almost
dashed to pieces.
SERIOUS RIOTS ON THE LANCASTER AND CARLISLE
RAILWAY.--On Wednesday morning last, the banks and
shops in Penrith were closed during a great part of the
day, and all business had been suspended, in consequence
of serious disturbances amongst the labourers employed
on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway. That morning
upwards of 2000 of these men, engaged between that town
and Kendal, began to assemble in the neighbourhood,
with the view of driving the Irish labourers from the line.
Luckily no collision took place, the Irish having re-
treated. The labourers were armed with clubs and other
weapons. A party of the English having learned that
some Irish had taken refuge in a lodging-house in Pen-
rith, went to the place, before the civil power arrived, and
seriously assaulted nine Irishmen. One or two are
scarcely expected to survive. The Cumberland and
Westmoreland Yeomanry Cavalry were called out. At
eleven o'clock all was quiet. The disturbances com-
menced on Tuesday at the cutting at Hugh's Cragg. It
peered that an Irishman had refused to do some work
required by his overlooker or " ganger," and that the two
got from words to blows. The remainder of the Irish
then employed, about 60 in number, struck work, and
went to Mr. Smith's works, at Plumpton, where a great
number of their countrymen were employed. In the
evening the whole of them, to the number of 500, formed
in regular order, and marched through Penrith to the
huts on Yanwath moor, to burn them down, but were
prevented by the magistrates and civil power. Mr.
Hasell, a magistrate, harrangued them in kind language,
and they agreed to march back and meet next day
(Wednesday), to receive their wages. It was also arranged
that the Irish should work on one side of the Eumont
viaduct, and the English on the other. In the cutting at
Hugh's Cragg there are employed upwards of 600 English
and about 60 Irish. About 13 men were wounded in the
affrays, and nearly all are doing well. The riot act was
read about noon. On Thursday night all remained quiet.
The Irish in the neighbourhood of Penrith were paid off,
and left the town, with the exception of four who were
seriously hurt. From 200 to 300, armed with guns and
other warlike weapons, were previously met by the
yeomanry cavalry, at Milestone-house, and stopped,
where the Irish appeared so desperate that the riot act
was read, but, ultimately, it was agreed that they should
be paid off, and they laid down their arms. After they
had left the town all was again tranquil.
DREADFUL MURDER AND SUICIDE.—A dreadful tra-
gedy was enacted on Thursday morning at the house, 16,
Arthur-square, Commercial-road East, London. A man
named Jeremiah Spence Stark, a coal-weigher, having
murdered his wife by cutting her throat with a carving
knife, destroyed himself with the same weapon. It ap-
pears that Stark, who was a man of violent temper, had
lately made use of threats towards his wife, and was
spoken to upon the subject by his wife's father, who lived
in the same house. In consequence of an arrangement
made by the wife's father, Stark and his wife slept in se-
parate beds on Wednesday night. Stark rose very early,
and it is supposed that whilst his unfortunate wife was in
the act of kneeling before the fire, and sweeping the
ashes into a shovel, he came behind her, and inflicted
several wounds on her neck and throat. A scuffle of very
short duration then ensued, and the wife must have run
towards the stairs, where she fell from exhaustion and
loss of blood. The: man afterwards destroyed himself
in the front kitchen, when his lifeless corpse, weltering in
blood, was found stretched, on the floor in front of the
fire-place. The police were immediately called in from
the neighbouring station-house, and found both parties
quite dead. The woman bad received several deep
wounds on her neck and throat; the man only one, which
nearly severed his head from his body. The fender and
fire-irons were scattered about in every direction, and all
things betokened a silent but terrible struggle. The only
discoverable grounds for the terrible tragedy are these ;
A little brother of the young woman Ellen Baxter, alias
Stark, slept in the same apartment with her and her hus-
band, and on the previous night heard the latter abusing
her, and calling her odious names. This he told to his
father, who mildly remonstrated with Stark on the impro-
priety of his conduct. It would seem this galled the fel-
low, arid must have rankled all night in his mind. From
the appearance of the front kitchen, which seemed to be
the breakfast-room of the family, the young woman must
have been at work in the place when Stark made the at-
tack upon her, and the silent struggle between them must
have been terrible. Her hands were cut in several places
through the gloves which she had on doing her work.
The poor young woman, who is supposed to have been in
thqsfatnily way, is said to have been a good-tempered
gir
THE LANDLORDS AND THE PRICE OF WHEAT.—It is
a generally-admitted fact, that the home market for British
manufactures is larger than that of all foreign markets
put together. It is of course next to impossible to calcu-
late with certainty the fall of the price of wheat conse-
quent on throwing the British market open to all the
world, but we may assume that the reduction may be a-
bout ten shillings a quarter, which is the estimate of ex-
perienced men. Taking the consumption of Britain at
20,000,000 of quarters of wheat a-year, this beneficia!
change, say the Free Traders, gives the country, accord.
ing to this calculation, a saving of £10,000,000 a-veer ;
that is, ten millions sterling, which was previously paid
by the unjust operation of CLASS legislation to the lar.d-
holders, will be absolutely extinguished,—it will be no
longer paid to them, and be an absolute saving to the
community. But before we give such a statement an un-
qualified assent, it may he worth while to inquire what the
landholders do with the ten millions thus acquired? Do
they bury it, or is it absorbed in some mysterious way in•
to the agricultural body, so that the rest of the nation,
first robbed by their cupidity, continue to pine under their
selfish obduracy ? By no means. Hence in a great de-
gree the strength of the home market for manufactures of
which we have spoken. They, their families, their ser-
vants, t• eir dependants, hasten to spend it mainly on the
various manufactures of the country. The ten millions
do not leave the country, or are absorbed by some unpa-
triotic slough, but run instantly, as soon as acquired, into
inumers.ble channels throughout the entire country, giving
an astonishing impulse and life to every thing from the
spinning frames and power looms of Manchester,--from
the manufacturers of Leeds, Nottingham, Norwich, Bir-
mingham, Sheffield, down to the retail dealers in Recent
or Bond-street, to those of the most insignificant village
of the kingdom. If the wave of prosperity is directed
with unnecessary, or as it regards the community at large,
even hurtful force, over the green lawns of the aristocratic
body, back it instantly flows with an impetuosity which
carries it in its fructifying career to the remotest points
and corners of the land. Admitting such a view of the
question as this, it seems difficult to imagine that the evil
of wheat being 10s. a quarter higher than it might be, is of
the unqualified description which our Free Traders would
have it to be. Let ten millions cease, according to their
impetuous clamour, to come into the pockets of the land-
holders, it will equally cease to flow out of them again in-
to theirs, in the purchase, especially, of the decencies,
luxuries, and refinements of life. If eventually the coun-
try suffer not, in consequence of the saving through the
community at large from the lower price of bread, (to ac-
complish which fall the bakers must be suhjected to a spe-
cies of torture to charge only moderate profits, unknown
to the nineteenth century,)—for the present an embar-
rassment and derangement in the channels of the home
trade is likely to ensue, the extent, the duration, and con-
sequences of which he must be a bold man who shall pre-
dicate.—Record.
