LAW INTIeLi IGENCE.

The well-known Overbury case Las been settled by Mr.
Thos. Harris, the old parish clerk, withdrawing.all furthtr
proceedings.

The Court of Cessation at Paris decided on Tuesday,
that Catholic clergymen could not legally adopt a chid.
In the Exchequer Court, on Thursday, verdicts for the
Crown w' re returned in sevt ral cases of Custom-hou,e
frauds ; the total amount bring for the single value of the
goods ; and if the Crown enforces treble penalty, the sum
to he paid will be £27.450.

PARISH ORGI,.NISTS.—In the Bail Court of the Queen's
Bench. on Monday last. Mr. Ju.,tice Patteson, after hav-
ing t-iken time to consider, rt.tu,ed an application made
b, Mr. Pashley on a former day, for a mandamus calling
upon the parishioners of St... Stephen's, Coleman-street,
in the city of London, pr,c-ed to the election of an
organiA. His lordship rt-fused the rule principally on the
ground that the parishioners were not compelled to taise
a rate for the payment of an organist. and might, conse-
quently dispense with an organist altogether, if they
pleased.

In the Court of Common Pleas on Monday, in the case
of " Grinnell v. Wells," an action for the seduction of the
plaintiff's daughter, which has been twice tried, and in
each case a verdict given for the plaintiff, a rule nisi. to
art est the judgment, was made absMure. At the time the
cause of action arose the plaiotff's daughter was living
in the service of the defendant ; and the court was of
Opinion that as the plaintiff's declaration alleged no Lois
of service. the allegati n ghat certain expenses bad been
incurred by the plaintiff, in consequence of the defend.
ant's conduct, was not in itself sufficient to maintain the
action.

NOVEL LIGHT.

MR. C. KURTZ has the pleasure of introducing to
the Public the NEW PATENT SELF-GENE-
RATING GAS LIGHT, which is ne of the most beau-
tiful of recent inventions. This light burns without wick,
and generates its own Gas during combustion. It is par-
ticularly well adapted for Out-door Lights, such as Rail-
way Lines, Streets, Piers, Stables, Coal Yards, &c.,
where Gas cannot be procured at a low rate, the light
being equally as cheap and brilliant.

Cc.'7lC.. has-constantly on hand a beautiful assortment of
Patent Solar, and Vesta Camphine Lamps, at prices from

RIVER, NORTH AMERICA.
TLIE Managers of this Company beg most respectfully
to tender to the Public their grateful thanks for the
unqualified patronage they have received since opening
this Establishment, and, in calling attention to their
PRESENT IMMENSE STOCK OF FURS,
which comprises every variety for which this River, one
of the greatest in America, is so justly celebrated, trust
that their future exertions may meet the same liberal
reward past energies have secured.
The mere title of the " Columbia Fur Company"
carries with it no more weight than that of any other
company; but the immense resources of this gigantic
stream, the length of which is 1560 miles, connecting by
its own waters, or immediate branches, the vast districts
of Austria, Colo, Canoe Camp, the Rocky Mountains,
Flat Brow, Chippeway, Pembunco, and the principle Fur
climates, as well as the Lakes, and the ready transit for
skins procured by the inhabitants, who, as well as the
native India tribes, principally pin their subsistence by
capturing fur-producing animals, enables this Company
to offer

FURS

AT PRICES THAT CANNOT BE EQUALLED,
(When Quality is consulted')
BY ANY OTHER HOUSE IN THE KINGDOM.
The Oregon or Columbia River districts produces a
greater variety of Furs than any other in America. Sid-
ney Hall, Esq., when treating of zoology, in his able
introduction to Black's General Atlas, says of this dis-
trict—" Its most distinguished characteristic is the number
of its Rodentia, amounting to no less than 53 well ascer-
tained species." The skins all of which are of excellent
quality.
As this House has only been recently opened, it must
be obvious to the public that their made-up Furs are all
OF THE LATEST STYLES OF FASHION.

THE superior elegance of the French Cachmere Shawl

mitted, but confined, in this country, to the upper classes,

and ENGLISH STAY and CORSET MANUFACTURERS,
129, BOLD-STREET, respectfully apprise the Ladies of
Liverpool and its Vicinity, that they have now on hand,
and have made such arrangements as will insure a supply
of the PATENT FRENCH WOVE STAY. This light
and elegant Article, which in Paris has superseded every
other description of Corset, and which is patronised in
this Country by all the leading Nobility, is wove in one
piece, and has, consequently, no Seam. It adapts itself
with extraordinary nicety to the figure, to which it yields
all necessary support, and imparts elegance and grace.
By H. L. and Co.'s arrangements, they will be enabled to
supply the Novel and Fashionable Stay at the Continental
Prices, which will be found 20 per cent. lower than those
charged by English Houses.
H. L. and Co. have also a well assorted Stock of their
IMPROVED ELASTIC WOVE STAY, so much re-
commended by the faculty, and by the use of which tight
lacing is superseded, and the consequent chest diseases
and the liability to sudden death avoided.
Ladies' English and French CORSETS, of every shape
and in every variety of material, may be selected from the
largest and best manufactured Stock in the North of
England. Ladies are particularly urged, before giving
their orders elsewhere, to inspect the French Corset or
Full-boned Stay, at 410 s. fid., usually charged 20s. Wo-
men's Strong Stays, both White and Coloured, at greatly
reduced prices. Servants' Coloured from 2s. 6d. to

Whalebone admitted on the Premises.

Respectable and competent Persons to recive Orders.
Ladies residing in the Country may be fitted on sending
the exact size of the waist, and otherwise describing the
figure.
The Scale of Prices for the Patent French Stay will be
forwarded in reply to prepaid applications.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

step as a faithful minister joining the National Board of
Education.

I feel with you most cordially the dangers a ,d evils
that encompass us. Ido not wonder you feel almost in
desphir woen you see with what a niggardly hand and
miserly heart the cause of Scriptural education is sup-
ported, or rather deserted, by the Protestants of Ireland.
While the poor Roman Catholics, and the ponraBt aruongst
them too, out of their poverty, Send forth their contribu-
tions to swell the coffers of those mho seek to revolution-
ize, to overthrow the Protestant Church and Protestant
government in Ireland—the ►andlords of Ireland whose
properties, you know as well as I do, are at stake in the
question, with very few exceptions, close their hearts and
their purses against the cause of God and of their church
in the country : that is, they close them against the only
possible means, under the Divine blessing, of saving
themselves and their children from being turned out of
their inheritances. 1 write it with as certain confidence
as I believe I exist when I write, that if by God's mercy,
Popery is not crushed in Ireland, not by laws nor by
military force, but by the only lawful or possible means
—that is, God's truth enlightening the people—if the
bishops, the clergy, the laity, by the faithful discharge
of their Christian duties, in preaching, in Scriptural edu-
cation, in honest fidelity to the souls of men, and in giv-
ing liberally and largely of their means, according to
their means, according to their respective stations and
purses, to promote these objects—if they do not at this
eleventh hour act thus, for the deliverance of the Roman
Catholics of Ireland, I believe that by the righteous judg-
ment of God, seeing that so many warnings are thrown
away on them, the church, the university, the Protestant
institutions in this country will be overthrown, and handed
over to the Papacy. I believe the landlords will be turned
out of their properties, and that the laws of Rome, now
in operation for these purposes, will be effectually carried
out to the total subjugation, if not extermination, of the
Protestants of Ir land. I repeat again, that I believe
God puts the cause of his own Word as the last test upon
the church, and I believe in my soul the existence of all
they hold dear depends at this time on their fidelity to
God."

The next letter from Dr. Martin, which will probably
close the correspondence, will enter into the principles of
this all important queition, and we shall probably give
this in our next. At the close of Mr. M`Gbee's letter,
from which the preceding extt act is taken, there is a pro-
posal to Dr. Martin to come to Dublin and devise means
for raisin by a voluntary tax on the Protestant gentry a
sufficient sum to extend the blessings of scriptural edu-
cation.

LAW INTELLIGENCA.

The well-known Overbury case has been settled by Mr.
Thos. Harris, the old parish clerk, withdrawing all further
proceedings.

The Court of Cassation at Paris decided on Tuesday,
that Catholic clergymen could not legally adopt a child.
In the Exchequer Court, on Thursday, verdicts for the
Crown were returned in several cases of Custom-house
frauds ; the total amount being for the single value of the
goods ; and if the Crown enforces treble penalty, the sum
to he paid will be £27,450.
PARISH ORGANISTS.—In the Bail Court of the Queen's
Bench, on Monday last, Mr. Justice Patteson, atter hav-
ing taken time to consider, refused an application made
by Mr. Pashley on a former day, for a mandamus calling
upon the parishioners of St. Stephen's, Coleman-street,
in the city of London, to proceed to the election of an
organist. His lordship refused the rule principally on the
ground that the parishioners were not compelled to raise
a rate for the payment of an organist. and might, conse-
quently dispense with an organist altogether, if they
pleased.

In the Court of Common Pleas on Monday, in the case
of " Grinnell v. Wells," an action for the seduction of the
plaintiff's daughter, which has been twice tried. and in
each case a verdict given for the plaintiff, a rule nisi, to
arrest the judgment, was made absolute. At the time the
cause of action arose the plaintiff's daughter was living
in the service of the defendant • and the court was of
opinion that as the plaintiff's declaration alleged no loss
of service, the allegati,m that certain expenses had been
incurred by the plaintiff, in consequence of the defend-
ant's conduct, was not in itself sufficient to maintain the
action.
