THE LIVERPOOL STAISI)•ARD.  far the law held that any person who, in the execution of an unlawful act, occasioned the death of another, that person was guilty of murder,—so 'that even if the prisoner had purposed suicide, and in endeavouring to destroy himself, had destroyed his wife, his crime was murder, though not of so -heinous a degree as it' he had intended to kill her in the first instance. The prisoner, who had duclin3.l sayiug!anything ‘vhen.called upon for his defence, observing he would- leave it to his counsel, here handed in a w itten paper which was read by the officer of the court. It was to the effect that he (prisoner) had had an illicit intercourse with the deceased before he married her at WOolvrich, three yea s ago; that he was compelled to marry her by the parish officers ; that she turned out to he a woman of drunken habits and made away with his money and property; that on the day when this unfortunate event happened he Caine home, after having been on duty for twenty four hours,, found his wife absent, nothing in. his house to eat or drink, his wife having made away with every portable article;` and that in the desperation of the moment he loaded his musket trr put an end to his own life, and fired —how or in what direction he knevi not.  ..„ „. Mr. Baran PARKE observed that the explanaticinyiVen -by the prisoner put the case in the wont supposition;•iriz, that, he intended to kill himself, not his wife ; but even on thatsuppnsitints the offence was murder, and it should be observed that when taken The prisoner himself did nut suggest either that the gun had gone off ,by accident, or that he had intended to shoot 'himself.  The jury retired to consider of their verdict; and"sfter about. an hour's absence returned with a verdict of Manslatighter. Mr. Baron PARKE told the prisoner that he had had 'a naerciful jury, and sentenced hint to Transportation for Lite.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIVE OF AN AGEO-FEHAI.I{.-011Thursday morning the body of Elizab.7tb Roberts, u woman seventytwo years of age, Who lived as servant in the family of Mrs. Smith, milliner anddress-maker, 129,Crawford-street, Paddington, was fouud in the water-butt tinder the following eircumstancest—lt appears that the poor creature, whohad been in the family nearly twenty.years, had received warning to leave in consequence of her age and infirmities, which notice expired y es.terday. After receiving the notice she appeared very melancholy and dejected, and seemed to consider it as a great hard-. ship to be turned off in her old age, when she was incapable of providing for herself, and ex•dresSeit her determination to• commit suicide. She retired, to 6-0 at the usual hour on Wednesday night, and about seven o,clock on the following morning Mrs. Smith was horrified at beholding her in the water-butt with her heels uppermost, She had her night-clothes on, and had been in the water about an hour. Mr. Wildgoose, a surgeon residing next door, promptly Attended, and endeacoured to restore animation, but without effect.—London paper. CONSRRVATtSM IN TUE BonouGH OF MARY i.FnoNn.—The conservatives in this borough have every prospect of resuming that' weight in the election of.. parliamentary representatives which their wealth and intelligence should at all times entitle them to. In their very successful efforts. in registering the voters they have somewhat disturbed the tranquillity of the radical party, who openly profess the practice of illegal exertions to defeat them. In fact, at the Marylebone vestry on Saturday last, Mr. Kensett, one of its members, in speaking upon the recent refusal of that body to allow the conservatives to take copies of their rate books; plainly slated that he thought it a duty incumbent upon the vestry to act even contrary to taw in order to defeat their opponents. The right of the rate payers to make extracts from the rate books appears to have become a secondary consideration. Lord liadstock very properly lectured the vestry upon the understood perinissiou which has been given to the radical party to copy the rate books. The conservative association in this borough already consists of upwards of fourteen hundred members, who propose giving a grand festival on Ft iday next, or early in the ensuing week.— Molting Post.  We believe there is no truth in the rumoured intention of the naval promotion, adverted to in the Portsmouth papers.

SANDBACII.) SDP-PO:SRO ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT AT SUICIDF..—A stupidlooking fellow, whose formation of countenance appears to have been a sort of compromise between humanity and the monkey part of the creation, was placed at the bar on suspicion of having broken open the box of Mrs. Judy Entwisle, the middle aged spouse of Patrick of the same name, who deals in pigs, potatoes, and other trilling refreshments, at his house in Scotland-place, where lodgings are let to the clean and decent of Patrick's countrymen, and as it turned out to the dishonest culprit in this cage. The 'second count in the charge for which the prisoner had to account, was for attempting (as the nocturnal guardian expressed it) to cut his trizzett. It was stated by the watchman that Mistress Judy Entu isle a few days ago, had the dale box in which she kept her jewels and sundry other affairs, consisting of thimbles, rings for the pigs' noses, a silk dress, Stc., broken open. Nobody the was continued could have dyne the  wicked act but the prisoner, as nobody was seen near the house in the shape of a lodger but him, and she intimated the same thing to Bomfield, who, happening to be of the same opinion; .loak•him illiaCUS2o6,,4l). being seized by the powerful hand 'Of the law, the prisenersauffhatlia`V.Allfkitketirrattecreo4-orrti sooner than he would go to quell he.woulOirfeit his life, at the, same time, uiting the ;lotion to the .word,tit:aking 'froni iris pocket a large clasp knife, with which, as the Watchman said, he would certainly have cut • his wizten, hadnot he (the watchman) reasoned with hitn,• showing him the absurdity of depriving himself of a few. years longer life, and probably the hangman of his fees. The fact of the suicide freak was proved; but although Mrs. Entwisle was morally certain that the prisoner was guilty, she could not produce any proof of it, and he was consequently "honourably acquitted."

MURDER. AND SUICIDE.—On Friday evening week, Mrs. Leadbetter, wife of a sharebroker in Manchester, who has resided for some time past at Walton-le-Dale, near Preston, went out after administering what she called a dose of medicine to her five children. The children becoming very ill, and the mother who had been in a low state of mind, not returning, suspicions were excited and medical assistance was called in. They were found to be labouring from the effects of .poison, from which all re,' covered except one, a little girl, who died the following day. Nothing was heard of the wretched mother until Saturday morning, when her body was discovered drowned in the River Ribble. The verdict of the coroner's jury was temporary insanity. RuNcolot.—Tuesday, Sir Thomas Freemantle, chairman of the Board of Customs, F. Gardner, Esq, secretary, and William Gardener, Esq., collector of Manchester ; accompanied by George Loch, Esq., G. S. Ferraday Smith, Esq., the treasurer, and several of the agents of the Bridgewater Trust and the Old Quay Company, visited Runcorn for the purpose of making the necessary 'arrangements consequent upon the formation of Runcorn as a bonded port. Runcorn, Weston Point, Frodsham, and Widnes, will be comprised within the limits of the port. The committee-room and offices of the Old Qtlay Company, will be used as a custom house pro tern. The bonded warehouse, for the reception of goods, will be ready by the sth of April. The port of Runcorn possesses facilities for the discharge and transhipment of goods, which, when fully developed, will not be surpassed by any port in the kingdom. The heavy item of cartage will be entirely avoided, as goods can be discharged direct into the warehouses and re-shipped into boats for all parts of the kingdom. These advantages will speedily be appreciated and adopted by the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Warwickshire. The river flats, we are informed, will not be subjected to any custom-house formalities, but will proceed as at present without any interruption. Buildings are progressing rapidly, and no sooner is the foundation of any house laid, than there are numerous applications fora preference.
