THE MAYORALTY WE understand that Mr. JAMBS ASPINALL TOBIN will be the next Mayor: of Liverpool. This will be a most judicious selection on the part of the Town Council, and one that will be generally acceptable to the town. Mf. TOBIN is a gentleman of high respectability, of decided political principles as a Conservative, of firmness and energy in matters of business, and yet possessing that urbanity and courteousness of demeanour which has won for him golden opinions from men of all sides. He pos- sesses every quality which can give dignity to the office, and Liverpool will have reason to be proud of the choice. LIVERPOOL COURT OF PASSAGE YESTERDAY (BEFORE EDWARD JAMES, Esq., ASSESSOR.) THE court resumed its periodical sittings yesterday. The cause list contained the entries of three demurrers and eighty-two issues. FALSE IMPRISONMENT, WILLIAMS V. SIIAW.—The plaintiff was Thomas Wil- liams, licensed victualler, Kent-street, Liverpool, and the defendant, Robert Shaw, cashier in the office of Messrs. M`lver and Co., Water-street. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, in- structed by Mr. Wheeler, stated the facts of the case. The plaintiff, having received an advance note from a seaman in the employ of Messrs. M'lver, went to their office, and received a sovereign in exchange for, it from the defendant. He was returning home when a boy from Messrs. M`lver's office caught him on the road, and said he was to go back. He did so, when the defendant demanded the return of the sovereign, observing that there was some mistake. He refused to do so, and again left the office, when the defen- dant sent for a constable, and he was taken to the police- office, in High-street, where Mr. Superintendent Clough allowed him to be discharged on returning the sovereign. —Mr. Brett, for the defendant, applied for a postponement of the trial on the ground that he had only just received his brief. His Honour could not consent, and the case nroceeded. For the defence, it was then urged that there

DARING ATTEMPT TO BLOW OPEN A SAFE.—MESSRS. CHUBB and SON respectfully sub- mit to their Friends and the Public the following Testimonial "Irk Mills, Millgate, Manchester, September Ist, 1854. "Gentlemen,—On Wednesday night last, my counting. house, situate as above, was broken into by burglars, who, after having forced open all the drawers therein, made an attempt with gunpowder to blow open the large safe, which I purchased from you three years ago, but to no purpose ; the lock of the sate door, although much strained, was opened by its key with much difficulty on the following morning. From the inside appearance of the safe, it is evident that a very heavy charge of gunpowder must have been applied, as several pieces of woollen cloth therein were burnt and other- wise discoloured. You are at liberty to refer to me for con- firmation of the above statement, if required.—l am, Gentle. men, yours respectfully, "JOHN BLAIR "Messrs. Chubb and Son, 16, Market-street, Manchester.

PROVISIONS LIVERPOOL, OCT. 20.—There is a fair demand for beef at steady prices, and the stock is now so much re- duced as to leave no great assortment for selection, hence holders of good qualities are very firm. In pork the transactions have been limited, also from want of suitable qualities; fine American would bring an advance, but of such the market is quite bare. Bacon, though not active, is in fair retail demand, and prices are well supported. From present appearances the stock now on hand is likely to be all required before new can come forward in quantity. A very strong speculative demand having set in for lard, prices have advanced is 6d to 2s per cwt., and sales are reported on the spot and to arrive to the extent of 1,800 to 2,000 tons. Cheese is in moderate demand, at steady rates, and the late arrivals are well cleared off. OCT. 23.—There was a good inquiry for Butter last week, and business to a fair extent transacted since our last report. The high rates which continue to be paid in Ire- land, and the small stocks held here, cause holders to be firm at the quotations. Waterford, Carrick, and Clon- mel, 98s to 101 s ; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wexford, 96s to 99s ; Belfast, 96s to 98s ; Aligo and Limerick, 92s to 96s ; and pickled Cork 2nds, 86s per cwt. landed.

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. MONDAY MORNING, Tay all-absorbing topic of every company and every tongue continues, even to this good hour, the war—the Alma—and Sebastopol. If it be justifiable to say of " Macedonia's Madman" thab— Thrice he routed all his foes, And thrice he slew the slain, it is scarcely less true or less justifiable to say of the Knights of Cockneydom that they have often fought Alma " o'er again." Panoramas and penny-booths—placards and pamphlets—vie with each other in laying vivid, if not truthful; representations of that great military achieve- ment before an admiring and bewildered public, while every journal teems with details of the action, and is made racy with anecdotes of its heroes. Many of these are, no doubt, highly coloured, and not a few of exceedingly ques- tionable authenticity; yet in general they bear an amount of characteristic peculiarity highly suggestive of national idiosyncracy, and a cool indifference, if not an absolute contempt, of ,danger, which at once gratifies and interests the reader. Conspicuous among those is one as honourable to British humanity as the intrepid daring of her sons is creditable to their valour. When the allied troops were marching from the position out of which they had driven the discomfited hordes of Russia on the morning of the 23d, they had to pass (sixty long hours after the battle) a group of seven hundred and fifty wounded Russians, stretched upon the battle field, who had been left by their defeated comrades destitute of succour, and abandoned to the lingering agonies of =assuaged suffering. Ere our gallant army could bid adieu to these miserably maimed, deserted, and suffering opponents, Lord RAGLAN sent orders to the Tartar peasantry of the nearest village that the wounded men would be confided to their charge, and that their wounds might be attended to. An English surgeon, Dr. TrromsoN, of the 44th Regiment, was left with them,—the sanctity of his mission, and the preca- rious efficacy of a flag of truce, being his only means of security against the probable vindictiveness of the wounded wretches' returning comrades. His was, indeed, true heroism, unstimulated by eclat. The threatened pre-Christmas Parliamentary Session has blown up. The Cabinet Council, held on Wednesday, decided that it is not necessary, and, in ordering the pro- rogation to the 16th of November, came, it is said, to the understanding that Parliament shall, assemble for the dispatch of business somewhere about, or rather before the beginning of the coming year. The long-talked-of visit of the French EMPEROR and EMPRESS to our QUEEN, has, within the last few days, acquired a fresh vitality, stimulated, it is considered, by a rumour of extensive preparations among the State apartments at Windsor Castle, and some mysterious commands touching English and India shawls, received by some great house of business in the metropolis, from some one or other whose name is of too much consequence to be permitted to transpire. Among the London novelties—for a thing may be a novelty in London although quite common in Paris—is the intended adoption of pillar letter-boxes, erected in the That such erections will be of great public con- streets no one pretends to doubt, surprise being confined to the fact that they have not been introduced long ago. While the POSTMASTER-GENERAL has his eye directed towards improvement in this direction, he might find it conducive to public convenience also were he to bestow a moment's consideration on how the "smoke nuisance" might be abated at some of the post receiving-houses, in which the function of cigar vendor is commingled with that of distributor of "postage stamps" to her Majesty's lieges. In some of these establishments the ventilation seems so imperfect, and the accumulation of smoky vapour so dense, that females, or parties with delicate lungs, are exposed to great inconvenience by the thoughtlessness which converts a public office into a cigar divan. In these remarks I have purposely abstained from any allu- sion to the bold demeanour and free style which certain "fast young gentlemen" are said to indulge in towards ladies whose business leads them to enter these shops to purchase postage stamps. A few reformatory hints in this direction from his lordship would not be thrown Few subjects have of late commanded a greater share of attention, or received more sympathising consideration, than the condition of our sick and wounded soldiers in the East, as that has been npresented. That the admits of doubt; but after making large allowance for overstatements, there is still a sufficient amount of misery and inevitably unheeded suffering to call for active ex- ertion on the part of the public. Fortunately the atten- tion of the wealthy and humane has been roused to the subject, and ere many days elapse a corps of male and female hospital attendants will have reached the scene of suffering, and those, combined with the official provision already made, will be able to meet even the most urgent necessities of the occasion. Another position in which the calamities of war have revealed themselves to our aching sensibilities, has arisen from the wail of the widow and the silent though apprehensive lamentation of the orphan. A willing ear has been on all sides turned to their plaint, and all classes have vied and still vie with each other in voluntary contributions towards their relief. With the watchful assiduity and native kindness of heart which have at all times distinguished her when the voice of sor- row and suffering has met her ear, the QUEEN has led the way in preparing succour and consolation for them in their bereavement, and the example has been nobly followed. Public benevolence has been roused all over the country, town competing with city, and hamlet with village, in contributing the only means of solace which it is in the power of a generous and great nation to bestow on those who cannot be looked on as other than the widows and orphans of the state. This is as it should be, and it forms a marked and honourable contrast to the barbarous apathy and cruel indifference manifested by the Russians towards their wounded and helpless countrymen, as that was dis- played by the miserable sufferers on the heights of Alma. Unlike the natural, the literary world may be said to hibernate in summer and blossom in winter. When the beetle and the dormouse quit their holes, the parterres of the Row begin to look sere—the blossoms have been culled—in the literary orchard, the fruit which will ripen has ripened and been gathered and garnered out of sight of the sun; and the summer of nature becomes in a great degree at least the winter of literature. When autumn's yellow tints are fading into cheerless brown, and the leaden sky which howls the prelude to November enwraps the shrinking earth, the trimmers of the literary garden begin to clear her encumbered flower-beds—her husband- men to look over and proclaim the nature of the coming The first throes of the literary spring are evinced in the dissemination of those ingeniously concerted mis- sives, the Publishers' Circulars, the appearance of which gives unmistakeable token of the intellectual "time of flowers" being at hand, and no revival of vital energy in the animal or vegetable kingdom is more regular in its period of return than that which permeates the literary soil urging into shoot, and bough, and blos- som, the germ which genius has implanted, and which culture and intellectual care alone can foster into wholesome life-sustaining fruit. True enough, an occasional literary product forces its way into convulsive life amidst the prevailing general dor- mancy of the literary garden and field, but in general they are feeble and delicate of growth, like the unnatural strawberries and erratic apple-blossoms which we annually read of in provincial newspapers, phenomena which every- body wonders at but nobody admires, and which few are even deluded into the hope of seeing arrive at maturity. The publishers' recess of the present year has proved no exception to those of ordinary currency. Some wild flowers and not a few weeds have overrun the neglected garden ; while here and there a nettle of more than ordi- nary pungency, or a thistle of sharper and harder thorns than usual, like " Firmilian," has shot up among the un- expected wonders; nor have the nightshade and dock- weed been without their representatives. Among the latter class, the reading public has been favoured, or the contrary, with a lusys naturee by an officer in HER MAJESTY'S navy—unseasonable in its time of flowering— sickly in constitution—uncomely in aspect—of repulsive flavour—in short, a literary weed of rank and disagreeable as well as untimely growth. This, even the less literary of your readers will readily perceive, is the " English Prisoners in Russia," in publishing which Lieutenant ROYER fulfils a duty for which ho seems to have been specially prepared in Russia. He was, it must be remem- bered, an officer on board the ill-fated Tiger when that vessel was stranded and her crew captured off Odessa. From his notes he does not appear to have been very keen-witted, but to have been the unconscious, and it rosy be, the unwilling victim of false display ; and the Russian authorities, from General OSTEN SACXEN, upwards end downwards, appear to have had thorough measure of his intellectual :dimensions. At Odessa the complaisant governor handed the extatic " tar " the identical opera- glass with which his excellency had been furnished " when watching the progress of the attack on the luck- less Tiger," and from that moment at least, if not before, the fate of the gelhmt " luff" was sealed. The glass uo longer presented "the attack on the luckless Tiger," but was turned in admiration of " La Cordova," at the Odessa -Operahouse, with whose acting he was fascinated. Dis- covering the "impressionable mind" they had to deal with in Lieutenant Rolm; the Russian magnates took care that he should behold Muscovite life and manners coleur de rose, and they treated him to all manner of civilities, including a pleasant journey to St. Petersburg, and a charming interview with the GRAND DUCHESS, pre- paratory to his being introduced to the GRAND DUKE, the melo-drama being consummated by a tile a tete with the EMPEROR ! In all of these unusual incidents great care was taken to show the sunny, not the shady, side of men and matters, and, contrary to every form of expectation, Lieutenant ROYER was invited to make notes—in short, to write a book; he took the hint, and on every page of his one-sided tablets he has successfully performed for himself the office which DOGEERRY sighed in vain for a clerk to do for him. This is all very sad and very serious, but it cannot be helped. The reception of marked, indeed very marked civility, where he had expected rudeness, if not cruelty, and above all, the studiously elaborate cour- tesy of a veritable live Emperor, has been too much for the simple son of Neptune, it has upset him, and—he has written, and worse than written, published a book—need more be said on such a painful subject ? In the death of SAMUEL PHILLIPS, which event took place at Brighton, on Saturday, the 14th instant, the literary brotherhood has lost an able and industrious coadjutor. In his earlier years, indeed it may almost be said "hot youth," Mr. PHILLIPS sought renown as a player, but did not meet with that success which his ambition craved, and, withdrawing from the stage, he betook himself to literature. In 1841, his most important literary work, "Caleb Stukeley," appeared in Blackwood's Magazine, and was followed by " We are all Low People there," both of which have recently been re-printed. Subsequent to the publication of these works, he was engaged as a writer for the Times, his contributions to that journal being, it is understood, chiefly of a literary cast, and including, it is said, severe rather than unjust strictures on the writings of DICKENS and some other Del populorum. He afterwards became connected with the Morning Herald, for which he wrote political leaders, and, at a more recent period, he became ostensibly the proprietor of the John Bull. Seceding from this, about two years ago, he became more prominently a literary man and less of a political writer, connecting himself with the literary details of the Crystal Palace, of which depart- he was appointed director, and published " The Crystal Palace Hand-book," and " The Hand-book to the Portrait Gallery." In early manhood, his constitution, at no time robust, suffered severly by a fall from a horse, from the malign effects of which he never fully recovered ; and, after a protracted course of ill-health, he died sud- denly from the rupture of a blood-vessel, in the thirty- ninth year of his age. Literary and publis thing circles are again launched upon ,ggy ocean of law's " glorious uncertainty," in respect ed question of "foreign copyright." A atly ye gal opinion, promulgated in the Jurist, declaring, con- trary to the received general opinion,—and that of pub- lishers in particular—that the recent decision of the House of Lords does not in any degree affect the question of " foreign copyright in this country !" " Who shall decide when doctors disagree ?" In the meantime, the practical effect of that decision has been great, numerous Tints, particularly of American books, have been ssued and very extensively circulated in this country. ie rights of property of sister Sarah and brother Jonathan, has had a wonderful effect in sharpen- ing their intellects, previously very indifferent as well as obtuse and hazy on the literary relations of 'lleum and tuum, and the Yankee confraternity of authors has become clamorous for the establishment of an international law of copyright. Unauthorised rumours having of late ob- tained wide circulation, to the effect that the recent cheap re-issue of the " Waverley Novels " had proved unprofit- able, and was abandoned, have received the de facto con- tradiction of the appearance, within the last few days, of "The Antiquary," as a volume of that series. Another of these unauthorised drafts on the somewhat liberal bank of cheap rep Thus invasion of tl " public credulity" has been dishonoured by non-accep- tance. It was to the effect that the cheap re-issue of BuLwun's novels had been found not to answer, and that the agreement under which that re-print had been issued, has been cancelled. To this averment Messrs. ROUT- LEDGE give the most unqualified contradiction. From this somewhat lengthy string of facts and fictions, it is evident that the spring breezes of the literary atmosphere have begun to stir the buds and give token of coming ssoras to grace the advent of Already the grtat houses are pushing out the season's announcements, which include material of '` rare promise." Old friends are placed before us with decidedly new faces ; and several new candidates for the Olympian crown have intimated their intention of courting popular applause. To each and all of them a hearty welcome ! A great dramatic event has been introduced, and a bold theatrical experiment has been made, in the revival of "Pericles, Prince of Tyre," at Sadler's Wells Theatre. A considerable time has elapsed sine the intended revival was intimated; and from time to time the public curiosity was stimulated by green-room gossip and coterie on dits relative to the style of its production, and the amount of pecuniary aid it must necessarily receive. The old disputes concerning its Shakspearian origin were in part resusci- tated, and various other incidental means were hit upon to keep the shuttle-cock of public curiosity in motion. In the list of amateur commentators on the genius of the great bard, conflicting opinions were, of course, hazarded, combated, agreed to—none of them, however, acquiring more general favour than that long ago enunciated by COLE- RIDGE, who correctly said of SHAKESPEARE, that he keeps "at all times in the high road of life ;—he has no innocent adulteries, no interesting incests, no virtuous vice;—he never renders that amiable which religion .and reason alike teach us to detest, or clothes impurity in the garb of virtue." An extensive colloquial commotion having been duly maintained for the required time, the piece was launched, and proved to be a well excised scenic outline of the crude though powerful tragedy. It has been put on the stage with great spectaculer skill. The scenery, of the most gorgeous and artistic order, has, it is said, been several years in preparation—the dresses and stage properties are various and beautiful, embracing the cos- tumes and social adjuncts of Greece and Assyria, which are harmonized with taste and judgment—the acting and elocution were in general worthy of the care and study bestowed on the piece in all its elaborate minutiae and powerful effect. Last week, I made allusion to the ques- tionable style in which DOUGLAS JERROLD'S drama of " A Heart of Gold" had been produced at the Princess's Theatre. Mr. JsaaoaD has himself given a succinct nar- rative of the cause which led to the injurious mode of its production, and an equally succinct, though graphic com- mentary upon the proceeding. He lays the weight of his injury on the shoulders of Mr. CHARLES KEAN, and attributes it to wounded vanity on the part of the actor, who was carricatnred in Punch. If KEAN was galled by Punch, JERROLD seems little less hipped by KEAN, and threatens in revenge to bid "farewell to all dramatic doings." At St. James's Theatre, " The King's 'Rival" has undergone some judicious curtailment, and continues popular and attractive. The tact, delicacy, and beauty of Miss GLYN's acting in this drama have raised her to a still higher position in histrionic art, and contributed in no small degree to the success of the piece. At the Adelphi, Mr. Mouuts BARNETT concluded his engage- ment on Monday evening. He leaves this country for the United States, where, it is to be hoped, an extensive and profitable popularity awaits him. WHEAT IN CANADA.—It is estimated that the Canadas will have a surplus of 12,000,000 bushels of wheat to dis- pose of this season. FOREIGN PosTAGß.—Lord Canning, accompanied by Mr. William Page, the head of the Foreign and Colonial branch of the Secretary's department of the General Post- office, left London for Paris on Thursday last to enter into negotiations with the French Government on the subject of a new postal treaty.—Civil Service Gazette. - - UPWARDS of 700- tons of fleecy hosiery, consisting of under-waistcoats, drawers, &c., have been shipped on board the screw-steamer Prince, for conveyance to the troops in the Crimea. A complete telegraphic apparatus, with several hundred miles of wire, to be laid down in the Crimea, and also several sets of diving apparatus, to remove under-water obstructions, will likewise be taken out by the Prince. AN ANCIENT HOSTELRIE.—The old " Black Boy" at Feckenham, Worcestershire, is now closed as an inn. It has been in the family of the Gardners about 139 years. The sign, which is of copper, stood the whole of that time, until taken down on Thursday last.— Worcester Chronicle. HER MAJESTY'S NEW ICACllT.—January next has been fixed as the period when the splendid new steam-yacht, the Windsor Castle, now building at Pembroke for the Queen, is to be finished and launched. The greatest exer- tions are being made in order to hasten her progress. A large body of the best men are constantly at work upon her, and converted timber has regularly been brought round from the other yards in order to expedite her build. She is so far advanced that an excellent idea may be formed of her; and there is no doubt that she will prove a model of beauty both in finish and mould. Her lints have evidently been laid with care and judgment, and pro- m'se great speed, while her immense length, more than 100 yards, and proportionate beam, will secure ample accommodation, not only to Royalty, but @so to the officers and crew—a comfort in which the Victoria and Albert is sadly deficient. The Windsor Castle is built of mahogany chiefly, with sound British oak. The diagonal planking has been laid.

NEW PASSENGER SHIPS. Tnn BLrE JACKET arrived on Friday in the Mersey, from Boston, under the command of Captain Oliver Eldridge, er a very successful run, as will be seen by the following extract from the journal of one of the pas- sengers :—"Oct. 3rd, one o'clock, a.m., took our departure from Boston Light, had the wind from S.E. during the day, which drove us to the N.W. of Seal Island. The wind hauled to the S.W. next day, and we were obliged to beat seven hours to clear Seal Island, which we passed at six o'clock, p.m., 4th. From thence had light westerly winds, averaging 200 miles per day, until 11th, when we took a gale from the south, and ran 360 miles in 24 hours. On the 11th, we were in lat. 49.57, long. 37.01, and on the 12th, lat. 61.07, long. 27.40 by observation. After this time the wind continued light from the west, and we made Cape Clear on the morning of the 16th, just 12 days and 22 hours from Boston, allowing for difference of time, and 11 days from Seal Island. Saw Tuskar Light the same evening, which we passed in 13 days and 18 hours from Boston, and next morning sighted Holyhead, 14 days and 4 hours from Boston, with a good prospect of arriving at Liverpool the same day, when the wind hauled to the N.E., and commenced blowing a gale which in- creased to a hurricane, and we were over two days between Bardsey and Holyhead. 19th Took a pilot off Point Lynas, at three o'clock, p.m., but the wind being fresh from S.W., he declined taking the ship in the river before morning. A combination of circumstances thus length- ened our passage to 17 days, which we felt almost positive of making in 14 but a few days since." The Blue Jacket was built in Boston, and is sister to the celebrated Red Jacket, whose recent performances to Australia and back we have already noticed. Like her, she is destined for the Australian emigration trade, for which her fine capacity and accommodations highly recommend her. During her voyage she proved herself perfectly sea- worthy, and although she encountered two severe gales, she neither lost sail nor spar, and has beaten almost every ship that sailed for weeks previously. Before leaving the vessel the passengers presented an address to Capt. Eldridge for "his gentlemanly conduct, which served to render the voyage so agreeable, and we shall ever remem- ber with gratitude his many kind attentions to us." THE ANNANDALE.—A vessel named the Annandale, which lately arrived here, and is now lying at the north- east end of the Prince's Dock, is an excellent proof of our national skill in turning out "clippers." She was built by Messrs. John Nicholson and Co., of Annan, on their own account. She is a model of symmetry, and, it is stated, of strength also, for she is firmly iroukneed throughout, and copper-fastened. Her dimensions are— length of keel, 230 feet ; over all, 250 feet ; beam, 32 feet; depth of hold, 18 feet 4 inches; tonnage, 1,150 old and 750 new measurement. She is extremely sharp on the water-line, both fore and aft. Her spars are lofty, and she is rigged much in the style of the celebrated Aberdeen clippers. She is built entirely of Scotch larch—which will render her extremely buoyant, and, probably, with her extraordinary length, give her unrivalled speed. With all her sharpness, she is said to have great stowage capa- city. Her deck is flush, with two houses, one amidships, the other aft, containing excellent cabin accommodation. She is intended for the East India trade, and is now being loaded by Messrs. Imrie and Tomlinson for Bombay. THE SHILIMA.R. The enterprising owners of the White Star Line of Packets have lately purchased the new ship Shalimar, a worthy consort of the famous Red Jacket and Mermaid. The Shalimar was built at St. John, N. 8., expressly for the passenger trade, and is, therefore, designed with width of beam and great height between decks. Her model, which is full at the waist, is sharpened at each end, so as to combine steadiness of motion with fast sailing. She is a very large-classed ship, her dimensions being—Length, 203 feet; length over all, 225 feet; breadth, 40 feet; depth, 23 feet; carpenter's measurement, 1,467 tons ; register, 1,402 tons. Her arrangements on deck comprise a topgallant forecastle, a large well-built house amidships, and a full poop aft, with a commodious erection on that, which includes the chief cabin entrance, and a very comfortable smoking- room, with stained glass windows. She has plenty of deck-room for passengers to promenade, and her high bulwarks will shelter them in heavy weather. The chief cabin is an elegant apartment, upholstered in dark polished woods, mahogany, rosewood, and walnut, with a rich bead- work of satinwood marking the panels. In the cornice d&corations, the " white star" is conspicuous on a red ground. There are berths for a dozen passengers, with baths and every other sanitary comfort attached. The forward part of the poop is fitted to accommodate thirty second-cabin passengers, and twenty of the same class are located in the house amidships. In these apartments the improved plan is adopted of making the meal-rooms apart by themselves, and placing the state-rooms, with their sleeping berths, along corridors attached; and the cabins are, by the aid of numerous windows and spacious sky- lights, cushioned seats, convenient tables, and rich paper hangings, rendered as light, airy, and as agreeable as could be desired. In the deck-house are more bath-rooms, and the whole forward part of it is occupied with a large " kitchen," divided into two cooking galleys, one for the passengers, the other for the crew. It is fitted in berths of two, with a large family berth on each side of the centre division. In the aft and forward ends of the deck-house, and in front of the poop, are covered companion-ways, leading to the 'tween decks below, which have a height of eight feet in the clear. Here as in every other part of the ship, the cabins are well finished, and unusually spa- cious, and light is secured by means of large ventilating shafts, skylights, deck-lights, and other appliances. The midship portion is appropriated to first-class passengers, in berths of two, arranged on each side of a passage way, and the fore and after ends to intermediate passengers. The general arrangement is on the ordinary plan, with the state-rooms ranged along either side of the vessel ; but there is observable a useful novelty in the intermediate portion of the ship, which consists in several of the state- rooms being fitted with berths for eight or ten people, made on the telescope principle, so as to slide quite out of the way, and give great room in the apartments when not required for sleeping purposes. The Shalimar is adver- tised to sail for Melbourne on the Ist November. BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY, AT the half-yearly meeting of the company, on the 20th of August, after the report of the directors had been read, a committee was appointed, on the proposition of Mr. Edward Harper, to inquire into the state of the company's affairs, and to suggest what line of policy should be pur- sued for the future; and on Saturday last the adjourned half-yearly meeting was held at the Monk's Ferry Hotel, for the purpose of receiving their report. Mr. Alderman Bancroft, of Manchester, chairman of the company, pre- sided. The report, after stating the course of proceedings; and acknowledging the assistance which the committee had received from the chairman, directors, and officers of the company, proceeded to say :—" The result of the inves- tigation has satisfied your committee that, in the future conduct of your affairs,' it is clearly the true interest of the shareholders to cultivate friendly relations with the Shrewsbury Companies, and to attract and bring over both lines of your railway from the whole system of the Great Western Company the utmost traffic which they can contribute. The committee find that, since the com- mencement of the year 1851, the Shrewsbury and Chester Company has obtained three acts of parliament for run- ning powers, or for the amendment and extension of those powers, over the lines of this company, and in each case the applications have been based on alleged obstructions to their traffic, chiefly in the direction of Manchester. The bills, when before parliament, encountered the oppo- sition of your directors, but were, nevertheless, passed. These measures, combined with the withdrawal, in 1852, of the bill for leasing the Birkenhead line to the three companies, now forming the Great Western Company, have weakened the mutual confidence in each other of the direc- tors engaged in those hostilities, and the committee, whilst deploring the existence, ascertained by them, of continued mistrust, on the part of the Great Western board, towards some of the directors of your company, have laboured assi- duously to remove it, and they trust not altogether in vain. One of the first impediments to a good understanding and harmonious action for the future,appeared to be the existing litigation with the Great Western Company, and your committee have endeavoured to bring about a friendly settlement of this litigation, which they trust may yet be attained by mutual concessions. Another impediment, which was found to involve considerable complexity, pre- sented itself in certain agreements between the London and Northwestern Company and this company. (See Appendix A.) The first agreement is dated 21st Nov., 1860, and was made under the authority of a clause in this company's act of 1847, by the provisions of which your company abandoned certain lines supposed to be in- jurious to the London and Northwestern Railway Com- pany, for the construction of which Legislative sanction had been obtained, and for which abandonment an equi- valent concession to this company was intended to be made. Your directors also obtained the right of using the lines of the former company between Warrington and Manchester, paying to them fifty per cent. on the gross receipts, according to mileage, for all traffic carried by your trains over the London and Northwestern Railway. Considering that this agreement was intended by your board to obtain for your company for ever the same inde- pendent access to Manchester for all traffic passing over your line, which the construction of your own branch would have placed in your hands, the committee are of opinion that this was a most advantageous agreement to the Birkenhead Company. It was, however, soon after construed by the London and Northwestern Company as excluding all traffic from their line between Warrington and Manchester, which was not brought in the proper waggons and carriages of the Birkenhead Company itself, thereby preventing any Manchester traffic from passing in the carriages and waggons of other companies. Under an agreement made subsequently to the former, and dated 21st June, 1851, (see appendix B,) the Birkenhead Com- pany acquired the right to forward other carriages than those of your company, subject to the condition that they were not to charge for the through traffic from other lines lower rates than those which might be taken for the local traffic ppssing over your line, without the previous consent in writing of the London and Northwestern Company. The effect of this agreement upon the through traffic from the Shrewsbury companies was, of course, to annihilate it. This latter agreement is endorsed on the former one, and has the official seal of your company attached ; and your committee think it right to state that such agreement, although twice presented for confirmation at general meet- ings, has not received the sanction of the shareholders. The committee doubt the legal and practical value of this agreement, and think it is incumbent on the board to as- certain the extent of their legal rights, under the first agreement, with regard to traffic coming from other com- panies. One of the effects of the stipulation, by which your directors are compelled not to charge for foreign traffic lower rates than those imposed on the local traffic of your line is, that the London and Northwestern Rail- way Company are enabled to fix a more moderate scale of charges on the traffic of their own line from Manchester to Chester than you are permitted to charge by your shorter route. Thus, for Salop goods, fifty-two miles, from Manchester to Chester, via Crewe, the London and Northwestern Company charge : First-class, Bs. 10d.; second-class, lls. 441. ; third-class, 13s. ; fourth-class, 175.; fifth-class, 245. Forty miles, from Chester to Manchester, via" Warrington, the Birkenhead Company charge :—First- class, lls. Bd. ; second-class, 13s. 441. • third-class, 16s. Bd.; fourth-class, 20s. ; fifth-class, 30s. The traffic derived by this company from the neighbouring lines is shown by the returns in the appendixes which were furnished by the secretary to this company. When the communication between your line and the Warrington and Altrincham Railway, at Walton, shall be completed, the Great Wes- tern Railway Company, however, may be able, without in- terfering with any agreement, to carry their traffic by_the use of their running powers in the direction of Manches- ter; but your committee feel that it would have been. more satisfactory thay the traffic passing through Chester towards Manchester should be carried by you on terms perfectly equal and just, so as to invite and secure the traffic of both the London and Northwestern and Great- western systems." . _ The report, after alluding to the favourable prospects of traffic, and remarking on the inadequate remuneration received by the company for terminal charges at Birken- head, continues r—" The committee deem it most desirable to endeavour to arrange, as far as practicable, with the Great Western Company, to work the trains of both branches of your railway, and to provide the establishment for carrying on the whole trade of the company on specified and satisfactory terms ; and they have the pleasure to re- port that the board have, with the entire concurrence of your committee, entered into negotiations, by means of which they trust this desirable object may be attained.. In conclusion, your committee recommend to the share- holders, at the ensuing election of directors, to place on the board four gentlemen unconnected with past differ- ences, who are likely to aid in the. results aimed at,— namely, to secure absolute impartiality in the reception of the traffic of your railway, and to promote economical management." The CuenmeN having stated that the report of the directors had not yet been adopted, owing to the adjourn- ment on the last occasion, called upon Mr. Edward Harper to move the adoption of the report of the committee, which, he supposed, would come before them in the shape of an amendment to the adoption of the original report. _ _ Mr. Hasps thought the best plan to adopt- would be to receive both the reports; and enter them side by side for the consideration of the future board.. He would move, " That the report of the directors, and, the report of the committee of shareholders now prodaced, be received, and entered on the minutes of the company.' Mr. WILLIAM EvArrs, of Manchester,. one of the com- mittee, in seconding the proposition, bore testimony to the cordial manner in which the board, of directors had facilitated their investigation. Mr. W. JACKSON, M.P., put it to Mr, Harper whether the last clause but one, recommending that both branches of the railway should be worked by the Great Western Railway Campany, would not be giving a great prepon- derating influence to that company over the North- western, and whether such a position was not inconsistent with their policy to show no favour to any particular com- pany, but to receive all alike. He wished to know whether, when the Great Western had running powers over their line, the same privileges would be conceded to the North-western and the Holyhead Companies, if de- manded by them. Mr. E. ilinPrA replied that he was particularly anxious to secure, both to the London and North-western and the. Holyhead Companies, the same privileges that were pro- posed to be accorded to the Great Western ; and he thought there should be an express stipulation that those companies should have the privilege of carrying their own traffic, unless it were satisfactory to them to be carried by the Great Western, at whatever rates the Great Western carried their own traffic, on the branch lines or this company. He was himself prepared to embody that in the report now submitted, but it was thought it might probably impede negotiations with the Great Western, and that it ought to be left to the board, to see that no exclusive privileges should be enjoyed by any. _ After some -discussio,_. as an amendment that the words be struck out of the clause as to the running powers, and the words Mr.-Jec & SON -113 "Great Western " adjacent railways" be substituted. Mr. Asia. seconded the amendment. This led to a further discussion, and on the questiott being put to the vote there were found, for the amend- ment, 15; against it, 56. The proposition of Mr. Harper, that both reports should be adopted and entered on the minutes, was, therefore, carried. The next subject was the election of four directors in the place of the following, who were eligible for re- election :—Messrs. A. Howard, T. F. Maddock, James Gandy, and Peter Dickson. After a lengthened discussion, the following were elected :—Mr. William Atkinson, Mr. S. D. Darbyshire, Mr. Edward Harper, and Mr. William Evans. The retiring auditor (Mr. J. Tyrer) having been re- elected, a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings COURT AND FASHION. MB. SAMUEL PHILLIPS, the editor of the " Hand-book to the Crystal Palace," died suddenly at Br 'ghton on Saturday week, from hemorrhage of the lungs, i; his 39th year. Mr. Phillips was a well-known writer in Black• wood, the John Bull, Morning Herald, and other Con- servative publications. He had been long suffering fro= con sumpt iv e symptoms.

Tnli DUCHESS or GLOUCESTER, now the only surviving child of King George 111., has arrived at a very advanced age, and a short time ago her health was in a very pre- carious condition, but her extraordinary constitution got the better of the malady, and she is again convalescent. With the view of improving her health, her royal high- ness went to Brighton about a fortnight ago, and has enjoyed the fine weather on the coast, taking carriage airing twice a day on the cliffs, and frequently driving on the pier esplanade.

Abingdon in Parliament: SPORTING _INTELLIGENCE. • BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FIimsy Although the bookmakers in this market have nearly to a man discharged their liabilities on the Cesarewitch Stakes, the settling is not by any means perfect. The supposed defalcations were, however, much lessened to-day by one of the absentees making his appearance, and paying in full all his creditors present ; that he had the means to settle has never been doubted. A report is fast gaining ground that one gentleman who was intrusted with a large commission to back Muscovite has gone to reside on the Continent, and has no intention of meeting the claims upon him; but it is to be hoped that this report is un- founded. Since Tuesday, the betting upon the Cambridge- shire Stakes has undergone considerable change; Rattle has receded in the market, and Orinobo has advanced from Btolto4 to 1; Scherz has also much improved. Yes- terday, Helena became friendless, 40 to 1 being offered in good quarters ; to-day, however, we saw 20 to 1 taken rather freely. A good deal of inquiry was made about Quince, and received support at 25 to 1. A few invest- ments were made upon the Derby at the odds quoted.

Baker has named his brown yearling filly by Gameboy out of Maria, Alma ; and ribay colt foal by Cowl out of The Chicken's dam, Capucine. Mr. Thos. Carter, one of the oldest and most extensive trainers, as well as one of the most extensive breeders, in France, has removed his establishment from Lamorlaye to Chantilly. The Jockey Club has recommended to the managers of provincial races where the Newmarket rules are in force, not to allow any exception to the rule for claiming any horse which may run in selling stakes. Mr. Barrett's-horses, consisting of Haco, Daffodil, and colt by Old England, out of Dauntless, 2 yrs, have left Young King's stables, Stockbridge, for W. Goodwin's, at Newmarket, where in future they will be trained. Count Branitskey's Zanoni (formerly Running Rein) died a short time ago, of inflammation of the lungs, in Russia. Jenny Lind (the dam of Hermit), also died, in. the Count's stud, in Russia, a week or two ago. Mr. Disney has disposed of his yearling colt Artillery to Mr. Morris, for a specified period, viz., till after the St. Leger, 1856, in which race, as also the Derby, he is en- gaged. The terms are a secret. Artillery is by Touch- stone out of Indian Warrior's dam. Mr. Copperthwaite's Early Bird was struck out of the Cambridgeshire Stakes on Wednesday last, after figuring for some time as first favourite for that race. It is sug- gested by many of his backers, who thought to "pick up the worm" with him, that in future he be called the Decoy Bird. A Free Handicap, of 500 sovs. each, h ft, Cesarewitch Course, has been proposed for the Craven Meeting, 1855, with Stockwell, 6 yrs, Bst 121 b ; Muscovite, 6 yrs, Bst 121 b. ; Rataplan, 5 yrs, Bst Sib ; Virago, 4 yrs, Bst 51b ; and An- dover, 4 yrs, Bst 11b.

MEETING LAST NIGHT. THE annual meeting of the Li:erpool Auxiliary of this Society was held at the Collegiate Institution last evening, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester presiding. We also observed on the platform the Rev. Dr. 31`1STeile, the Rev. Messrs. M. Rawson, S. P. Boutflower, S. Crump, S. Butler, S. Minton, J. Bardsley, W. F. Taylor, Herbert Jones, W. Hamilton, J. M‘Naught, Wright, Barry, Read, Ball, and J. B. Lowe ; W. Jones, Esq., E. Jones, Esq., H. J. Webster, Esq., E. P. Parry, Esq., E. Glazebrook, Esq., and E. Batty, Esq. ; Revs. C. W. Lawrence, R. Wolsley, A. Knox, S. D. Hirsch, S. S. Moss, E. Lawrence, and R. Oates. At the request of the Right Rev. Diocesan, the Rev. J. 8.. Lowe opened the proceedings with prayer. The Bishop of CIIESTEB then proceeded to address the meeting. My friends, said he, before I call, upon the secretary to read the report to you, I wish to express the very great pleasure I feel in being present at this meeting, and having once more the opportunity of showing my own cordial sympathy in the great object of this society. As we are this evening to have the privilege of hearing seve- ral gentlemen to whom I am sure you will listen with the deepest interest, I should not have troubled you with a word more for myself, were it not that, under present circumstances; I just wish to say a very few words as to my own impression, and—if I may venture so to speak, in the reliance of God's blessing—a very few words as to the usefulness of this particular society. Almighty God.- in His Holy,Word, has given us assurance that the gospel. of His blessed Son shall ultimately triumph andprevail over the whole extent of the world. Our Lord Jesus Christ him- self gave to His Apostles the comprehensive commission to preach the gospel to every creature, to make disciples of all nations,. and, in the spirit of that large command, the Apostles themselves preached the Gospel both- to the Jews and to the Gentiles--" To the Jews first, and also to the Gentiles." And in the same spirit, my friends, the ministers and servants of Christ in every age must still continue to act, so long as there remains a single corner of the earth that is not visited by the light of the Gospel, and so long as there remains a single tribe or people who have not been won to obedience and faith, and added to Messiah's universal kingdom. Now, in our own country, there are several societies that have been formed, with an earnest desire and humble hope of being instrumental, through God's bleising, towards the accom- plishment of this great work—to Christianise the world. There are several Missionary Societies having for their object the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the dark parts of the Heathen world. It is a vast and noble undertaking; and may God bless it with success. Our own society, acting in the same spirit, still marks for itself a different field of operation. It addresses itself to the JeWs, who stand iu a peculiar relation to us, as our elder brethren in the covenants of God's dispensation to mankind. On that account they require to be approached in a peculiar manner, and by a peculiar line of argument. In dealing with the heathen, what missionaries have, un- der God's blessing, to do, is to reclaim them from the debasement of idolatry, in worshipping false gods ; but in the case of the Jew, the question we have to discuss with him is of a very diferent kind, and is narrowed almost, if not entirely, to one single point—whether Jesus of Nazareth be indeed the Christ, as Moses and the prophets foretold. And let me say that that is a point which, in subtle controversy with the Jews, requires a very great stock of accurate learning to discuss with the Jew with proper force. It requires, in many instances, au accurate knowledge of the ancient Hebrew tongue, to enable them to discuss by reference to their own books. Now, without entering into any deeper points of ,distinction that may affect the cause of the Jew as compared with the heathen world—points of distinction of which you have often heard some of my friends near me expatiate with great elo- quence and force—but merely looking at the question in , a practical point of view, I think you will perceive that the conversion of the Jews is manifestly a peculiar de- partment—so far as we may venture humanly to speak— that the conversion of the Jews is a peculiar depart- ment in the great and vast work of Christianising the_ world. And froth its peculiarity it does require to be ap- proached in a peculiar manner, and the use of peculiar missionary apparatus of its own—a special machinery of its owls. So that the society is distinct from the General Missionary Society. (Hear, hear.) If a society takes upon itself, as this society has done, a special Work requiring special theans: and a special apparatus of missionary labour, Should we not give it our earnest , support ? ..1 know there are some nersoos who think— and I speak of theca with the most sincere respect—that something is gained in these matters by centralization of funds. But let ins remind those who bear me, that in all matters, -so far 'as Litman means are concerned; very much is also gained by the judicious division of labour. (Hear, hear.) After some further observations, the right rev. chairman proceeded to state the names of the gentle- en who would address the meeting, speaking in terms' of eulogy of the Rev. Dr. M`Neile (whose name was the signal for a round of applause), and the Rev. W. P. Taylor, who had consented, since he came into the room, to second a resolution which had been assigned to the Rev.' Mr. Pollock, who, however, was-precluded from being present by the pressure of his many duties. The Rev. J. B. LOWE (the secretary) read the report of the Auxiliary Society during the past year. It showed that the Java receipts for tilt fLumoluljoar up to tbe-

PORTER, V. GIBSON.—The defendant agreed to sell the plaintiff his interest in a public-house, in Smithdown- lane, of which he had a lease. After some negotiation, the price was fixed at £540. When the bargain came to be settled, the plaintiff was prepared to pay the money, but the defendant had not obtained the consent of the landlord to the assignment of the lease. The plaintiff considered that that was necessary to his getting the transfer of the license, and hence arose the action for a breach of the contract. The defence was that the defen- dant never undertook to get the landlord's consent, and that it was not necessary. Verdict for the plaintiff— damages, £l2O, including £5O, which had been paid as a deposit. No other cases of public interest were disposed of. LIVERPOOL BOROUGH SESSIONS, YESTERDAY (BEFORE GILBERT HENDERSON, ESQ., RECORDER.) TILE General Quarter Sessions of the Peace was held at the Session-house, Chapel-street, yesterday. There were 48 prisoners for trial, of whom 40 were charged with felonies, and the remaining eight with misdemeanours. Twenty could read and write imperfectly ; eleven could only read ; fourteen could neither read nor write ; and only three could read and write well. GRAND JURY Wm. Potter, insurance broke Wm. Armstrong, merchant. James Ackera, brewer. E. M. Brodie, sharehroker. Richard Bennett, wine merchant J. Dowie, merthara James Brebner, me Richard Houghton, fan., timber merchant James Stockdale Irving, merchant. William Inman, merchant. Thomas Lewin, wine merchant. Wm. James Paton, sharebroker. Wm. Richardson, merchant. Richard Shell, merchant. John Smith, wine merchant. David Taylor, broker. Henry Wood, iron merchant. Wm. I. Wall, oil merchant. The proclamation against vice and immorality having been read, the learned Recorder proceeded to deliver his charge :—Gentlemen of the Grand Jury (said he), I find 48 names in the calendar, which is but a small number after an interval of eight weeks. Ido not find any case of plundering goods from warehouses, or of receiving stolen property to any amount. There is only one charge of housebreaking, and that is a case in which two women are accused of having broken a window and entered a house, and stolen £2O from a neighbour ; while there is only one case of street robbery with violence. A clerk— an office-boy—who is charged with stealing his employer's cash-box, containing £350, was apprehended in Bath. Another clerk is charged with having stolen £450 from a letter given to him to post. He fled to the United States and was pursued, and apprehended in Baltimore, and he is brought back here to take his trial. I mention this case as proving the advantage of the arrangements lately entered into with many foreign countries, for the extradition of offenders, so that those who violate laws here are no longer safe in a foreign country, but are liable to be delivered up in America, and many parts of the continent. No speed of flight, therefore, can save them from justice, because they are liable to be overtaken at any instant, by means of the Electric Telegraph. A case was tried not long ago in this court, where the offender had been brought back from Australia, to meet his punishment for robbing his master in this town. The security of society is, therefore, greatly increased by re- moving the facilities which formerly existed for the escape of criminals. These facts may well deter many persons who may be disposed to enter upon a career of crime, by showing the great difficulty which there now exists for eluding justice. There are for your investigation four cases of stabbing, and one of grievous injury inflicted by a stone, &c., upwards of 2 lbs. weight, with which the prosecutor was struck on the head. The legislature might have foreseen the atrocious practices which at present prevail in Liver- pool ; for, about three years ago, in July, 1851, an act was passed for the more effectual punishment of prisoners in all cases of aggravated assault ; and, under that statute, of are now liable to three years' imprisonment with hard labour. I make it a part of my duty to read the Police Reports in the local newspapers, and I see that scarcely a week passes without some such assault as I have referred to occurring in the town. The time is therefore now come—and I think, by the number of eases sent to the sessions, the magistrates feel that to be the case—when it is the duty of this court to put the statute rigorously in force ; and to punish severely all who are so ready to shed the blood of others. Clemency in any such case is but giving encouragement to the offenders, whereas, if dealt with according to the full powers of the law, these painfill cases, if not altogether I repressed, may be in a great measure abated. Some time ago, a savage practice was prevalent in this town, of par- ties biting off the noses and ears of their antagonists. The offenders in such cases were sent to this court, where they were so severely dealt with that I am disposed to think a stop has been put to this brutal mode of mutila- tion. If any attempt be made to revive the practice, I will take care that the parties are severely punished. As, however, some time has elapsed since a case of the kind occurred, I trust the law has had some salutary effect. Having adverted, gentlemen, to the principal features in the calendar, I may observe, as to the more serious offences cognisable by this court, that I am disposed to believe that the state of the town is satisfactory. As to the minor offences, the calendar does not so well enable me to form an opinion. The proportion of these sent for trial here is probably not more than three -out of every hundred persons apprehended. Though the number sent for trial has decreased, I doubt whether the number of those punished by summary conviction has decreased in a corresponding proportion. Now there are some classes, even of minor offences, which, in my humble judgment, are best dealt with by this court. I may instance two offences, of which you will see some specimens brought before you. I refer to pickpockets and persons who steal on board of ships. Now it is perfectly well known that there are 400 or 500 persons at least in this town who are known to the police as regular thieves ; and the classes to which I have referred form a very considerable portion of these professional peculators—persons who, by practice and habit, have become confirmed pickpockets, or confirmed stealers from ships in the docks, or from goods about the quays, and who live by these practices. Short imprison- ments produce no good effect whatever upon these criminals ; they only prolong the careers of those pal-ties, because they are never reclaimed by light punishments. A great deal of mischief, therefore, is done by pocket- picking and robberies from the docks, and this community are very severe sufferers in consequence. The only remedy, in my opinion, is to send our criminals to a court which has power to put a stop to their career ; which would not only produce good in the individual cases, but would also prevent hundreds from entering upon a similar course of life when they see the severe punishment that awaits them, whereas, if they see prisoners summarily visited with slight penalties of imprisonment, they willingly incur the risk for the ease and plunder which their lawless pro- fession affords them. I have ventured to express my opinion upon this subject, which I know to be one of very great difficulty—in fact, one of the most difficult questions which the magistrates have to decide, is, whether to deal with cases summarily or send them to this court. lam only anxious that this court should be made as useful to the public as possible ; because I am quite sure that all those who assist me would willingly devote any requisite portion of time to afford security to society. The learned Recorder then dismissed the Grand Jury to their duties ; and in the course of the day the following cases were disposed of : Martin Cavannah, boot-closer, charged with stealing two pairs of boots and one pair of shoes, the property of John Roche, his master, was found guilty.— Sentence deferred. John Morris, charged with stealing a handkerchief, the property of John Wellington Hunt, was found guilty, and sentenced to four years of penal servitude. Matthew Murray, labourer, charged with stealing two sheets of 7ellow metal, the property of John Deans, was found guilty, and sentenced to be imprisoned for fifteen months. Ellen Miller, charged with stealing ten yards of ribbon, two pairs of stockings, four pairs of gloves, two collars, and other property belonging to George Wood, she was found guilty.—Sentence deferred. William Bond, labourer, Patrick Joyce, weaver, and Owen Welsh, labourer, were charged with stealing forty pounds weight of brass, the property of William Jones. Joyce was Acquitted, Bond; and Welsh were found guilty and sentenced the former to four and the latter to six years' penal servitude. • Thomas Cradstick, labourer, charged with stealing three pounds weight of brass wire, the property of Charles Cotesworth and others. He was found guilty.—Sentence deferred, Letitia Patterson, charged with stealing two pounds weight of butter, the property 9f John John*93l,wae laud

"Erysipelas." His sufferings were incredible; and although he received some of the best medical advice, be obtained little or no relief. Almost in despair, he determined on giving Holloway's Ointment and Pills a trial; and, by a little perseverance with them he was completely restored to health, and strongly recommends these medicines to others similarly afflicted. Mr. G. Wil- liams, of 19, Edgecombe-st reet, Plymou, h, can verify the case. FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH is a medicine of long- tried efficacy, and its celebrity as a gentle aperient medicine is daily increasing. For bilious and liver complaints, denoted by sick headache, Rain in the forehead and over the eyes, dizziness, singing noise in the head or ears, heartburn, loss of appetite, indigestion, and weakness of the stomach, drowsi- ness, sense of fullness after eating, wind, spasms. &c., they are admirable, and for elderly persons, where an occasional aperient medicine is required, nothing can be better adapted.

There is an active demand for money, but the increased rates' of interest, and the falling off in stock speculations, hare brought out more capital, and business paper is very current at 12 per cent. _ . . . . COTTON.-IVe have no change to notice in this market, whicit is still bare of stock, and consequently sustained, by the daily- purchases of spinners, and the occasional opera- tions of exporters, above the views of shippers generally, and above' the parity of foreign markets. The prices paid here within, the' past five days would require an advance of fully d. in Liverpool to cover. Prices at New Orleans, also, are sustained, with an active demand above the parity of Liverpool quotations, arid, of course, above the limits of even the most' liberal English orders. We continue our quotations of the 3rd instant, noting, at same time, the great scarcity of strict middling descriptions. BnuensnrEPs.-Flour: There was an improved de- mand last week, and the principal transactions were at an advance of 121c.per brl. on common brands,and 25c. to 37/c. on extras.

The receipts small for the season. The quality of all descriptiOns so far is very indifferent. In- dian Corn, in consequenceof an increased export demand, has advanced 4c. per bushel. Corn Meal $4 25c. to $4 87ic. per brl. Pnovlstoss.-The- pork market is without important change ; and the transactions are to a fair extent. Beef continues dull. Prime-mess beef anti beef hams are nomi- nally the same. Lard heavy;. sales at lOic. to 101 c., and small lots strictly prime-at lie. Butter is only in mode- rate request at 13c. to 17c: for Ohio. and 17c. to 20c. for State. Cheese is selling at 9c: to 101.

TO CORRESPONDENTS AN OBSERVER calls our attention to the negligent mode of driving carts and other vehicles through the streets, by sitting in the binder part of the vehicle, and driving with cord or string reit*, to the serious annoyance of those who have carriagel of less strong construction. The police should look to this. Owing to the pressure upon our space, we have been com- pelled to withdraw several communications and one or two leading articles. A Correspondent asks. if there is such a place in this town as a benefit society established for clerks or apprentices, that, by the payment of small sums, they will, in time of sickness or death, be entitled to receive a benefit for the same? C - We shall be happy, at all times, to receive communica- tions on subjects of local or general interest. Boors, &c., FOR Risvt ENV, may be left et Mr. C. Mitchell's, Red Lion-court, Fleet-street, London, addressed "to the Editor of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD," when they will be forwarded and receive attention. The ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION to the LIVERPOOL STANDARD is 20s. in advance—or .225. on credit. Eibtrpoot tanbarb, TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 24, 1554, PUBLIC BENEVOLENCE. IT may be a deserved charge against the people of England at the present day, that, neglecting the unbought grace of life, they are too much devoted to the sordid pursuits of money-getting ; but, after the experience of the last few months, and even of the last few days, none can deny their being actuated by the pure spirit of unselfish benevolence when circumstances demand their aid. Scarcely had the expedition begun to leave our shores to do battle for the cause of justice in the East, and defend the insulted honour of Europe against the aggressions of the Northern Despot, than an appeal was made to individual munificence to provide for the wives and children of those who had ventured their lives for England's quarrel. So readily and so generally was the appeal responded to, that in a short time nearly a Hundred Thousand Pounds was collected, and the minds of the soldiers set at rest with reference to the welfare of those they left behind them. Then came the news of the fierce and deadly struggle on the heights of Alma, where hundreds of gallant soldiers lost their lives or their limbs to gain the brilliant victory which struck the first blow at Russian supremacy in the Crimea, and opened the road to the fortress of Sebastopol ; and this was followed by the harrowing intelligence that the wounded, conveyed to the hastily-arranged hos- pitals in Turkey, were suffering from the want of the commonest necessaries, and enduring male bitter agonies from the neglect than they had experienced under the murderous fire of the Russian artillery. Again an appeal was made to public sympathy, and so cheerfully was the response made that in one week more than Five Thousand Pounds was contributed that the tale of distress has since been contra- dicted, and we quite agree with the opinion expressed at the preliminary meeting held in the Town-hall, on Wednesday, that everything needed for the sustenance and comfort of the wounded soldiers should be provided by the Government as part of the necessary cost of the war ; but, while the question was being debated, the sufferers may have been lingering in agony. It was a time not It is truo which the appeal was met demonstrated most forcibly that a reliance on the kindly feelings of our countrymen was not in vain. We have given in another column a letter from our townsman, Mr. 11.3.usErna, enclosing a donation to the fund, and it is with much gratification we call attention to the circumstance. In addition to these aids, a Royal Commission has been issued for the manage- ment of a Patriotic Fund, similar to that which was raised after the battle Waterloo,, to provide for the widows and orphans of the slain, and none can doubt that the contributions to it will be worthy of the occasion. With these facts before us, open to all the world, we may endure the reproach of being a money-getting people, for a large number are evidently practically aware that "it is more blessed to give than to receive." THE COMMERCIAL CREDIT OF LIVERPOOL compelled to succumb to the pressure. There are few cases wherein the sudden realisation of large assets would ,not involve very considerable loss ; but it remains to be seen, in this instance, sup- posing time to be afforded for the judicious disposal of the property, whether the creditors will ulti- mately be sufferers to any great extent. But however this may be, and if even it could be proved that the individuals alluded to had acted with the utmost perfidy, it by no means justifies the sweep- ing charge, or rather insinuation, which has been made against the mercantile community of this great town. Whilst upon this subject, we may notice a letter which appeared in The Times on Wednesday, with the imposing signature of " A Merchant who has both required and obtained legitimate assistance from his bankers." The writer asserts that bankers ought to make it a part of their business to ascertain the exact position of the affairs of every house to whom they make large advances ; and then, referring to " the appalling disclosures which are now taking place in the affairs of the two Liverpool firms who have just failed for such unheard-of amounts," he said that had their bankers adopted the precaution which he advises, they would have saved Liverpool the discredit which these affairs have caused. It is very easy to give advice gratis, but it is not easy to state how any bankers can ascertain the exact position of a merchant's affairs, even supposing him to be willing to submit his books to examination. The proposed remedy is simply absurd, and we altogether deny the imputation that these affairs have caused dis- credit to Liverpool. DISGRACEFUL SCENE AT ST. PAUL'S CHURCH, KNIGHTSBRIDGE TILE conduct of certain individuals during the performance of Divine Service at St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, on Sunday week, was so thoroughly disgraceful, so utterly indefensible, that no terms of reprobation can be too strong to apply to it. We care not what were the views of the party— whether their opinion as to the mode of repeating the Litany was the most correct or not, or whether the Hon. and Rev. R. LIDDELL, the Incumbent, acted properly or not in complying with the re- quest of his Diocesan. All this is nothing to the purpose ; for no difference of opinion, whether well or ill-founded, can justify, in the slightest degree, such a blasphemous desecration of the sanctities of Divine worship as was exhibited on this occasion. We cannot imagine, nor can those who acted so vilely, explain to themselves, what must have been their feelings when, in mockery of their solemn appeal to the Holy Trinity to have mercy on them as miserable sinners, they were acting in bold and unblushing defiance of their spiritual pastor, and openly violating the common decencies of the sacred duty in which all were engaged. Such conduct is without any excuse or palliation, and is beyond even the miserable plea of ignorance, as the offenders were believed to be in the position of gentlemen, and assumed to he Churchmen. It will be recollected that, some months since, two of the assistant Curates of St. Paul's, Knights- bridge, resigned their curacies, for the alleged reason that Mr. LIDDELL, after declaring his in- tention not to make any alteration in the mode of performing Divine Service, had, at the request of the BISHOP of LONDON, altered the mode of re- peating the Litany from chanting to simply sing- ing it. At that time a sthall party of the congre- gation, headed by a Mr. ERNEST FITZROY, estab- lished what they called a Litany class, for the practice of singing this part of the service, and attempted an agitation against the Incumbent, avowing their determination to sing the responses in spite of his regulation to the contrary. After some correspondence, however, the attempt was abandoned; and we believe everything proceeded quietly until the day we have mentioned, when Mr. FITZROY, with a party acting evidently in concert, committed the outrage referred to. We have given the particulars, from a London Evening Newspaper, in another column. It will be seen that the popular Churchwarden made a display of his zeal by attempting a forcible expulsion of the principal offender ; but such a measure did not tend to lessen the unseemly disturbance. It is to be hoped that legal proceedings will be taken, as it is highly important that such disgraceful acts should not be allowed to pass with impunity. SIIIKSPEBE says :—" It's excellent to have a giant's strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant." The Times, however, rejoicing in its strength, arising from its large circulation, seems actuated by a different opinion, and deals out its mimic thunder with utter recklessness of conse- quences. On Thursday last it indulged in well- feigned indignation at the wretched vice of gambling, and then launched out into a merciless tirade against the more heinous sin of commercial gam-_ bling, alluding to the recent failures in Liverpool, and leaving the inference to be drawn by super- ficial, and, therefore, the majority of newspaper readers, that the practices of the swindler and the black-leg at the gaming-table were honour and virtue, compared with those of the merchants of Liverpool. It ought to be needless to say anything in defence of a body of men who stand second to none in the world for the magnitude and impor- tance of their operations—who, in less than half a century, have raised Liverpool from a place of minor importance to be the great emporium of the world ; whose ships, unrivalled for speed and capability, are to be found in every port, and whose exports exceed in value those of all the rest of the United Kingdom. But it is put forth to the world that the leading journal of Europe accuses them of the grossest perfidy ; and though the insinuation of such a charge can only be attributed to ignorance or malevolence, there are, unfortunately, too many who give credit to such statements in the same spirit. We have no occasion to mention names, or it could not be difficult to refer to many Liverpool merchants whose credit is quite equal to that of the Bank of England, and whose reputation for that honour which gives the chief value to mer- cantile dealings is far superior to that of their detractors. Even the recent failures, which have given occasion to this diatribe, and which are exceptional cases in no way affecting the commer- cial honour of Liverpool, do not in themselves deserve the fierce wrath levelled at them by the Thunderer. It may so happen that an individual who, but a short time since, was comparatively without capital, has suddenly started into notice as a man engaged in most gigantic transactions, but they were not of that hazardous nature to be directly stigmatised as reckless speculation. The breaking out of the war with Russia created a large demand on the part of the Government for superior ships to be used as transports ; and at the very time when, from the great extension of com- merce, the value of shipping had considerably increased. Advantage was taken of this demand to purchase every vessel that could be made avail- able, and it is stated that the contracts made with the Government were on the most favourable terms. Unfortunately, however, the capital necessary for so large an undertaking was far beyond the means of the contractor, and the continual difficulties in to than andthan _hojeveron_i ~...._ _ in. g inoi,, i. )1) , 1•• • C !.i -• SI; rict,in g the continuance of The links in the golden chain of union are indissolubly connected.

ARTICLE

THE WAR. The following article appeared in the Ftench Govern- ment paper on Thursday : " The Minister of I,Vr has received from- the General- in-Chief of the Army in the East despatches dated Oct. 3. "No fresh military operation had been ended since the taking possession of Balaklava. The two armies are established in an excellent military position, the English army thawing its materiel and provisions from. Tialaklaya, and the Frenchftom two small bays to the•north of Cape Chersonesus. "This position of the two armies has naturally deter- mined their mode of distribution on the territory before the place of Sebastopol during the seige: The- French army will have the left of the attack, from the sea to the southern fort. The English will take the right, from the southern fort to the ruins of Inkermann. " Our army is divided into two corps•—the first; under the orders of General Forey, and composed of the third and fourth divisions, will make the seige.;--the.second, under the command of General Bosquet, and. comprising the first and second divisions, will form the corps of ob- servation. The Turkish division is placed in reserve according to circumstances. The.Reglish army has made similar arrangements. A portion• of its divisions will assist in the attacks against the. place; the other part, forming a corps of observation, will be united with the corps of General Bosquet. " These arrangements are of a nature to remove all doubt as to the result of the seige which is about to• com- mence. - " According to the statements of deserters, the spirits of the Russian army appear to be much depressed since its disaster upon the Alma, where it lost from 7,000 to 8,000 men." " A letter from Augsburg says,— "` The last communication from Austria to Prussia has been very favourably received in Germany, and this re- ception sufficiently attests the support which the Cabinet of Vienna finds from public opinion for all its energetic decisions. The - Gazette Univeraelle de Leipsie, which has hitherto opposed Austrian policy, has just published an article the object of which is to show that, although the whole of her population is not German in feeling, Austria is more so than any other Power by her resolu- tions and her actions. From this article we deduce the following considerations : _ "`Austria has just announced her final decision to the Cabinet of Berlin, and that decision, it must be confessed, is vigorous, precise, and, in short, truly German. She will now call upon Prussia to say, without ambiguity, ' Yes ' or 'No '—to declare herself for or against in the face of the Germanic Diet, the German nation, and before the tribunal of public opinon and all Europe. She is about to present herself no longer in concert with Prussia, but' alone, before the federal body, if, indeed, that body should not itself take the initiative and frankly put the following question :—` If Austria should draw the sword for Ger- many, will Germany cover Austria with her shield ?' " We have read this declaration of Austria with plea- sure, and our national pride, so deeply humiliated by the inaction of Germany, exalts itself again at the aspect of this noble attitude: " Tim Was IN ABTA.-A letter in the Lloyd, from Batoum, brings intelligence from Asia Minor up to the 29th ult. Ferik Pacha, who with 8000 men was on the Natauchta, crossed into the Russian territory on the 27th, and reconnoitered as far as Dschumat. The Russians are concentrated at Kutais, and are collecting reinforcements from the fortresses on the eastern coast of the Thuine. The Kars army is being reinforced and reorganised. Ismail Pacha was expected to join it within a few weeks. It may be well, indeed it is necessary, to mention that there are three Ismail Pashas—viz., the above-mentioned; a second, the governor of Erzeroum ; and the third is the governor of Smyrna. The present governor of Kars, Zary Pacha, remains inactive while the Russians are preparing for further operations. Schamyl sent messengers to inform the leaders of the Turkish army at Kars of his intended descent on the Russian territory, and expected they would co-operate with him; but their petty jealousies, and the demoralised state of their army, prevented Schamyl's anti- cipations being fulfilled ; "and," as the Batoum corres- pondent says,"as he (Schamyl) found himself unsupported by the Turks, he has lately returned to his mountains. laden with Russian booty." Ismail Pacha, the governor of Erzeroum, was engaged in attempting to stop the disorders of the Zeybecks in the interior of Anatolia, and has cap- tured several of the leaders, and restored quiet in the immediate neighbourhood of his pachalik, " but not till the Zeybeks had murdered several French officers on their journey to Kars." The Russians have recently again withdrawn from Bayazid, and the communication with Persia is re-established. The cholera has broken out again in the south of Anatolia. THE KILLED AND WOUNDED AT ALMA.-A supple- ment to the London Gazette contains the; returns of the non-commissioned officers and rank and file killed and wounded at the battle of Alma. THE RULING PessioN.—Since the news of the late victory has arrived, applications for admissions into the army have increased nearly tenfold. THE GuAaDs.—The additional force will be sent out to-day. The regiments will supply about 340 men—the Scots Fusiliers, who lost so severely at the Alma, supply- ing the larger number. All the other regiments of the light divisions are prepared to send out a considerable number ; but the augmentation will be confined to sup- plying the want occasioned by the loss in the late engagement. NURSES FOR THE WOUNDED IN TURKEY: Mrs. Night- ingale, who has been for some time acting as superintend- ent of the Ladies' Hospital, in London, has undertaken to organize a staff of female nurses, who will at once proceed with her to Scutari, at the cost of the government, there to act under her directions in the English military hospital. Under a special arrangement with the Peninsula and and Oriental Company, a number of surgeons, and the staff of nurses organised by Mrs. Nightingale, will em- bark at Marseilles, on Friday next, on board the Vectis, and be conveyed by that vessel to Constantinople imme- diately after the delivery of the outward India mail at Malta. On ordinary occasions the Veetia and Valetta wait at Malta while the steamer from Southampton is engaged in transporting the India .mails and pmengers from that place to Alexandria and back; but, as the distances be- tween Malta and Constantinople and Malta and Alexandria are nearly the same, it is expected that the Vectis will reach Malta on her return from this special service in time to prevent any delay of the inward India mail, w hile by this arrangement the staff of surgeons and nurses will, in all probability, reach the scene of their labours on the 4th proximo, some days earlier than the, passage could have been accomplished by any other available means. Tun WOUNDED SOLDIEE9.—At a committee of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel held on Friday, it was determined to call a special meeting of the society for this day (Tuesday), to consider the expediency of sending an additional number of clergymen to minister to our sick and wounded soldiers at the seat of war. This step has been taken with the full sanction and concur- rence of government, and it is very gratifying to add that one clergyman, a fellow of a college at Oxford, has offered his gratuitous services for this work of mercy. We are also informed that upwards of £lOO was subscribed at the committee-table. Lord Blantyre, as soon as the news of thelosses at Alma reached Edinburgh, placed the sum of £2OO in the hands of Professors Simpson and Syme, for the purpose of send- ing out immediately to Scutari or the Crimea two or three surgeons to supplement the medical staff there: THE NEW LOTIG-RA.NGE CANICON.—The perfOrmance of one of the long range Lancaster guns, which has lately been mounted on the Arrow, and has been trying its range at SebastoN, has exceeded the most sanguine expectations. The first few shots Bred by the Arrow, at three mag, the gun was too elevated,, and the ball passed over the whole place. Afterwards the range was precisely taken, and for three hours shot and shell were thrown into the nearest battery until it was completely destroyed. For the fast half-hour of the firing, it never returned a shot. But flick, it appears, is by no means the sole merit of thdgun. IBC - weakens the resources of Sebastopol still more fatally than by knocking up batteries. Under the natural belief that because their works were within range, the vessel which fired must be in range also, the Russians returned a most tremendous fire, but every shot sank in the sea at about three-quarters of a mile distance from the Arrow. 'Unless there are incredible stores of ammunition in Sebas- topol, such a mode of fighting: mast soon leave them with- out a shot. LIGHTHOUSES IN STIETLANs›POR THE BALTIC FLEET. —ln consideration of the possibility of our fleets in the White Sea and the Baltic being-driven towards the rugged shores of the Shetland Isles, the. government determined to exhibit lights on the eastern, and northern points of Shetland. We are glad to be able. to state that the Com- missioners of Northern Lighthouses have now succeeded in establishing these lights, which are of a temporary description, in order to meet theemergency. Owing to the remoteness of the situations and' the necessarily short time that could be devoted to the preparation of the lights, the utmost exertion had to be usedsth bring the works to a successfi l! issue before the close of the present season. The lighthouse towers were made of logs of timber and rubble masonry, and the lanterns of iron ; and these, toge- ther witluthe lighting apparatus and machinery, and the iron houses- for the lightkeepers' dweßings, were all pre- pared and fitted up in Leith and Edinburgh previously to being sent off, One of the stations on-which a light has been exhibited 84 Whalsey Skerries, the most eastern point of the Shetlandlslands, a dangerous outlying cluster of rocks and island, extending about 15 mires from the main- land of Shetland. But the other and more remarkable work is the North Uist Light, which is situated on an isolated rocky islet lying to the north, of the Shetland Isles, and, with the exception of a small outlying rock called the " Ont Stalk," the most northern point of Her Majesty's dominions. The North Uist Light is placed on a precipitous and:rugged rock about 150 feet high. The top of the rock, measures about 200 feet-by 80 feet, and upon this limited. area is erected a lighthouse tower and dwelling-houses, together with watertank and coalstore, the whole being- protected from sea spray and wind by walls of rubble stone set in Roman cement So difficult was the ascent to the rock that everything used, including lime, cement, sand; water, and ironwork, Sce.,. of all kinds, as well as a year's supply of oil, fuel, provisions, and other stores for the due maintenance of the light, had to be car- ried up on the backs-of the workmen. Four lightkeepers are appointed to the North Uist Light ; three will be con- stantly on the rock; and the fourth will have- his turn of leave on shore by rotation, when it will be his duty, daily, to observe the signals made at particular hours each day from the rock, and, if a signal requiring assistance is made, immediately to proceed to the lighthouse in the attending boat provided for the purpose.—Northern ORDERS TO THE ARMY BEFORE COMMENCING SIEGE OPERATIONS. The order of the day prepared by the Allied,Generals on the evening of October-3rd, regulating the commence- ment of the siege, was issued a few hours befOre the des- patches left, and the names of the first detachments at work could not be ascertained. The entrenchments, how- ever, were opened with perfect success, not a shot disturb- ing the men : The trenches were opened this evening against Sebasto- pol; a working party, consisting of—, furnished by the—, will be marchedio the engineers' depot at—p.m., where they will receive tools and directions from the en- gineers' officers and sappers, who will guide them to the works ; they will be without arms and accoutrements. The guard for the protection of the working and ground will consist of —, furnished by —, and will parade in their camp at p.m., be conducted to their positions, posted, and receive instructions from the staff 'officers who will be assembled for the-purpose. All the movements of the parties must be; if possible, kept out of the view of the place. After moving from their place of assembly, which will be after dark, the utmost. silence must lee- preserved, and the least possible noise of any kind made. The working parties must be. arranged in proper order by the engineers, but will not commence work till ordered, after which it must be carried on with tithe greatest energy. The engineers will be charged with the arrangements, but the officers of the troops must be responsible for the maintenance of order andattention to the directions given by the engineers, and for the amount of work done ; on diligence and regular cambia of the working parties will depend more rapid and complete•success of the enterprise. The working parties must not quit the work on slight alarms. If the enemy make a sortie, the guard will ad- vance and drive them in, and before they reach the work, if possible ; should the working party be absolutely ob- liged to retire, they will take. their tools with them, and re-form a short distance in•rear to return to the work when the sortie is repulsed. The guard will be posted' ili rear of the working party, and near to it, if possible, under cover from the fire of the place; if not, they must lie• down in order to battle, with accoutrements on, and each man with his firelock close by him—one party not less than one-third of the forces absolutely on the alert all through the night, taking it alternately, ready for an immediate rush on the enemy. A sortie is out and Olt the works in a very short time, therefore the guard must be• in immediate readiness to attack it without hesitation ;• nothing is so easily defeated as a sortie if charged without delay. After the repulse of any sortie, the guard will return under cover as soon as possible, and resume their position. All working parties and guards will be composed of entire regiments, or parts, and not of detachments, made up of different corps. BALAKLANA is a wonderful place. Nature, in one of her freaks, has endowed it with an admirable little har- bour, deep enough to contain the largest man-of-war. The entrance is very narrow, and dominated by cliffs some 600 feet high. A little channel winds to the widest part of the harbour, which is completely shut in on all sides by hills. The town appears to have been thriving, as several houses and a church were in course of construction. A very respectable quay runs along the water side, and here the Agamemnon, the Sane Pareil, and some forty or fifty of our largest transports, ships and steamers, are safely moored. The magnificent Agamemnon lies the nearest in land, and 300 yards beyond her the harbour terminates in a mud-puddle. A ruined Genoese fort of large extent in olden times domineered the entrance to Balaklava ; but a small earth work was the only work of defence established by the Russians. The latter have displayed a great absence of foresight in not having rendered the entrance to the harbour, so indispensable to us, more formidable. A single ship, artfully sunk, would apparently have ren- dered the entrance impossible. . The best houses inK the place are now occupied by the allied generals, or converted into offices for the necessary departments. The Adjutant-General occupies a pleasant house shaded by poplars. In the high street are Lord Raglan's quarters, the various hospitals, and the post- office. The Duke of Cambridge occupies a house outside the town. The bazaar is dosed, but several of the inhabi- tants have remained behind. I remarked one old gentle- man, whose constant occupation appeared to consist in walking up and down:the street, and bowing most humbly to every officer or soldier who passed. The urbanity of manner and natural politeness of the British soldier are both well known, and the monotonous obeisances of the old gentleman were rewarded by a patronising nod, and a " Bono Johnny." Some of the largest houses have been turned into hos- pitals ; but I doubt if the air of the town be healthy. Completely shut in by hills, scarcely a fresh breath of air can penetrate, and the water has a most offensive smell. Outside of the town stands a village called Kadikoi, which possesses some large houses and a church, which might be employed without desecration in the charitable service of covering the sick. Having sent on the greater number of carts, laden with sick, to Balaklava, in order to return on the morrow with provisions from the commissariat ships, the 4th division quitted the direct road and took to that leading to Sebastopol. At Kadikoi lay the light division, and we encountered on our route the three other divisions and the cavalry, bivouacking on several heights. The first object on the road was a little farm-house, skirted by' a beautiful little vineyard. Being overpowered with thirst I forgot all prudence and tasted here, for the first time, the Crimea grape. Imagine to yourselves, oh ! sober matter-of-fact people at home, clusters of luscious blue transparent grapes, such as would honour even Chatsworth, and Lance would have delighted to pourtray. But imagine, also, the dark, dismal sentiment of remorse and dread which haunted me for hours after I had swal- lowed some half-a-dozen immense bunches. I could now understand with what delight and imprudence our soldiers actually gorge themselves with this delicious fruit, for the palate once excited craves, as in my instance, to be satiated. By the farm-house a beehive was discovered, and after a little hesitation, one heroic individual dashed at it, and completely knocked it to pieces. Like many other great men, this praiseworthy gentleman failed to reap the ad- vantage of his energy, for the insulted bees attacked him with such fury, that, abandoning his grey, he rushed from the spot, pathetically exclaiming Murder ! Murder ! " The hive was, however, soon emptied of its store by tho baggage guards, who miraculously contrived to hold in each hand an immense block of honeycomb, without letting fall their firelocks, or dropping the dignity of the British soldier. The savage bees, instead of attacking the proper crimi- nals, very absurdly darted at the inoffensive pack-horses, who certainly exhibited an energy for which they had hitherto received no credit. Two miles below the spot where the fourth division bivouacked stood calmly the town, to reach which Eng. land has spilt some of her best blood; but at this inspir- ing sight officer and soldier forgot the fatigue, sicknos, and privottoll. which had beell tie common lot, THE KILLED AND WOUNDED DURING THE LONG WAR THE following table of killed and wounded in the battles of the long war, from 1793 to 1815, on land and sea, is interesting enough for republication. It will be seen that the greatest loss, in killed, was at the battle of Waterloo, next to that affair the battles of Albuera, Badajoz, Tala- vera, St. Sebastian, Pyrenees, Vittoria, and the expedition to New Orleans. At all the other great actions of the war the loss was less than that at the battle of the Alma. The greatest loss in any naval action was at Trafalgar, where 21 officers and 428 men were killed.

This gentleman is a son of an engineer employed on the works of Sebastopol, and resides, in a comfortable country house in the suburbs of the town. Lord Raglan rode up to the house, ignorant of its occu- pant, and was,much surprised at the appearance of one of his own countrymen. It was thought that much.might be learned from so intelligent and trustworthy a prisoner ; he was accordingly carried off to the camp, where he will be treated with kindness in return for as much informa- tion as he can be induced to communicate. As the 96th Regiment was advancing, a wounded Russian was. calling piteously for water, when poor. Captain Eddington, whose heart was as kind and charitable as it was stout and brave, ran up to him, and, stooping, gave him to drink from a small flask of brandy and water, which ha carried in case he should himself bewounded. This reviyed the wounded man, and poor Eddington ran forward to join his company, when the wretch who had just been, restored by his charity fired at and. shot him, his best friend. This so maddened his poor brother, Lieutenant Eddington, who was in the same regiment, and.elose to him, that he, in performing desperate deeds of daring, also fell, dearly selling his life innvenging the death. of his gallant brother. The two poor fellows were most affectionate brothers ; they fell together, and two better soldiers or braver hearts never wore:the cloth. The transports which carried the heavy cavalry to the Ctimea have met with a succession of gales which fully justify the fears of those who recommended caution in navigating the Black Sea at the period of the equinox. A transport has arrived in Bujnkder6-bay„ which tells a dismal tale. She carried a portion of the Royals and 130 horses, and was towed by the Simla,. A gale came on when she was about half-way on her journey. The hawsers parted immediately, and the unfortunate vessel was thrown about for more than an hour, without being able to set a sail to steady her. So violent was the motion, that the upper deck gave way, and the hopes above were precipi- tated on those below. A scene followed such as has been seldom witnessed. The horses, are described as actually screaming with pain and terror. Of course no one dared to go near them, and the end of it was that of 130 only twelve remained alive at the,conelusion of the day. It appears that the 33rd crossed the river in deep water up to their armpits under a shower of balls, and were first to reach the opposite bank, the 23rd close upon them. Col. Blake rode down so steep a pitch to the river that his horse went in headforemost and was completely under water for some seconds. The colonel never dismounted all day, though the other mounted officers of his regiment were obliged to do so from their horses being wounded or unsteady. Colonel Blake's horse got one ball in his jaw, one in his side, and a contusion from grape in his chest ; besides these, one ball was lodged in the saddle, another in the holster, where the pistol stopped it, and a sixth ball hit the colonel in the left wrist, ran up in the sleeve to the elbow, where it came out, having grazed the flesh of the arm, but it was not of any importance. The colonel was close, to the colours all the time, and saw three of his officers struck down in succession who carried them. The balls in' the horse were extracted, and the animal was doing well, and likely to recover. A Russian infantry officer, in a letter to his friends in St. Petersburg, writes :—" The battle (of the Alma) was discontinued on our side solely because our battalions would have been exposed to the fire of the English and French ship guns, which have a long range. The battle had for us no advantageous result, for the enemy required just as much time as we did to rally. The English, whom we had on our right wing, fought brilliantly ; we. could not deny them our admiration. The fire of the Minie rifles, with their long range, did us a good deal of mischief, and would have done us much more if the enemy had had better shots among them. Our antagonist has not as yet obtained the smallest advantage over us.. The Prince (Menschikoff) is quite well, and the state of the troops very satisfactory. The cossacks are constantly bringing in French marauders as prisoners, but it is a fact that we have as yet not taken a single English marauder. The old British Excellency (Lord Raglan) who commands up there must be keeping up good discipline." LADY ERROL IN THE CRIMEA correspondent from the war says :—" Lady Errol is still campaigning it with the light division. I hear that her noble lord is to sell out as soon as this year's campaign is over. - I look for- ward to a very interesting work from Lady Errol's pen. She is a shrewd, intelligent, and amiable woman (at least so I am told by those thrown into her way), and these are excellent qualities for getting up an agreeable book. Early in the day I happened to meet Prince Edward of Saxe- Weimar (of whom I knew nothing, save that he was called prinee,by some), and asked his serene highness how he fared, during the rough hours of the night,—he an- swered, ' Why, as-well as I conk} ; we got the brushwood

NEW PASSENGER SHIPS THE BLUE JiCKET arrived cn Friday in the Mersey, from Boston, under the command of Captain Oliver Eldridge, after a very successful run, as will be seen by the following extract from the journal of one of the pas- sengers :—" Oct. 3rd, one o'clock, a.m., took our departure from Boston Light, had the wind from S.E. during the day, which drove us to the N.W. of Seal Island. The wind hauled to the S.W. next day, and we were obliged to beat seven hours to clear Seal Island, which we passed at six o'clock, p.m., 4th. From thence had light westerly winds, averaging 200 miles per day, until 11th, when we took a gale from the south, and ran 360 miles in 24 hours. On the 11th, we were in lat. 49.57, long. 37.01, and on the 12th, lat. 51.07, long. 27.40 by observation. After this time the wind continued light from the west, and we made Cape Clear on the morning of the 16th, just 12 days and 22 hours from Boston, allowing for difference of time, and 11 days from Seal Island. Saw Tuskar Light the same evening, which we passed in 13 days and 18 hours from Boston, and next morning sighted Holyhead, 14 days and 4 hours from Boston, with a good prospect of arriving at Liverpool the same day, when the wind hauled to the N.E., and commenced blowing a gale which in- creased to a hurricane, and we were over two days between Bardsey and Holyhead. 19th : Took a pilot off Point Lynas, at three o'clock, p.m., but the wind being fresh from S.W., he declined taking the ship in the river before morning. A combination of circumstances thus length- ened our passage to 17 days, which we felt almost positive of making in 14 but a few days since." The Blue Jacket was built in Boston, and is sister to the celebrated Red Jacket, whose recent performances to Australia and back we have already noticed. Like her, she is destined for the Australian emigration trade, for which her fine capacity and accommodations highly recommend her. During her voyage she proved herself perfectly sea- worthy, and although she encountered two severe gales, she neither lost sail nor spar, and has beaten almost every ship that sailed for weeks previously. Before leaving the vessel the passengers presented an address to Capt. Eldridge for "his gentlemanly conduct, which served to render the voyage so agreeable, and we shall ever remem- ber with gratitude his many kind attentions to us." Tun ANNANDA_LE.—A vessel named the Annandale, which lately arrived here, and is now lying at the north- east end of the Prince's Dock, is an excellent proof of our national skill in turning out " clippers." She was built by Messrs. John Nicholson and Co., of Annan, on their own account. She is a model of symmetry, and, it is stated, of strength also, for she is firmly ironkneed throughout, and copper-fastened. Her dimensions are— length of keel, 230 feet ; over all, 250 feet ; beam, 32 feet; depth of hold, 18 feet 1 inches ; tonnage, 1,150 old and 750 new measurement. She is extremely sharp on the water-line, both fore and aft. Her spars are lofty, and she is rigged much in the style of the celebrated Aberdeen clippers. She is built entirely of Scotch larch—which will render her extremely buoyant, and, probably, with her extraordinary length, give her unrivalled speed. With all her sharpness, she is said to have great stowage capa- city. Her deck is flush, with two houses, one amidships, the other aft, containing excellent cabin accommodation. She is intended for the East India trade, and is now being loaded by Messrs. Imrie and Tomlinson for Bombay. THE SHALIMAR. The enterprising owners of the White Star Line of Packets have lately purchased the new ship Shalimar, a worthy consort of the famous Red Jacket and Mermaid. The Shalimar was built at St. John, N. 8., expressly for the passenger trade, and is, therefore, designed with width of beam and great height between decks. Her model, which is full at the waist, is sharpened at each end, so as to combine steadiness of motion with fast sailing. She is a very large-classed ship, her dimensions being—Length, 203 feet ; length over all, 225 feet; breadth, 40 feet; depth, 23 feet; carpenter's measurement, 1,467 tons ; register, 1,402 tons. Her arrangements on deck comprise a pgallant forecastle, a large well-built house amidships, and a full poop aft, with a commodious erection on that, which includes the chief cabin entrance, and a very comfortable smoking- room, with stained glass windows. She has plenty of deck-room for passengers to promenade, and her high bulwarks will shelter them in heavy weather. The chief cabin is an elegant apartment, upholstered in dark polished woods, mahogany, rosewood, and walnut, with a rich bead- work of satinwood marking the panels. In the cornice decorations, the " white star" is conspicuous on a red ground. There are berths for a dozen passengers, with baths and every other sanitary comfort attached. The forward part of the poop is fitted to accommodate thirty second-cabin passengers, and twenty of the same class are located in the house amidships. In these apartments the improved plan is adopted of making the meal-rooms apart by themselves, and placing the state-rooms, with their sleeping berths, along corridors attached; and the cabins are, by the aid of numerous windows and spacious sky- lights, cushioned seats, convenient tables, and rich paper hangings, rendered as light, airy, and as agreeable as could be desired. In the deck-house are more bath-rooms, and the whole forward part of it is occupied with a large "kitchen," divided into two cooking galleys, one for the passengers, the other for the crew. It is fitted in berths of two, with a large family berth on each side of the centre division. In the aft and forward ends of the deck-house, and in front of the poop, are covered companion-ways, leading to the 'tween decks below, which have a height of eight feet in the clear. Here, as in every other part of the ship, the cabins are well finished, and unusually spa- cious, andlight is secured by means of large ventilating shafts, skylights, deck-lights, and other appliances. The midship portion is appropriated to first-class passengers, in berths of two, arranged on each side of a passage way, and the fore and after ends to intermediate passengers. The general arrangement is on the ordinary plan, with the state-rooms ranged along either side of the vessel ; but there is observable a useful novelty in the intermediate portion of the ship, which consists in several of the state- rooms being fitted with berths for eight or ten people, made on the telescope principle, so as to slide quite out of the way, and give great room in the apartments when not required for sleeping purposes. The Shalimar is adver- tised to sail for Melbourne on the Ist November. BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY, AT the half-yearly meeting of the company,on the 26th of August, after the report of the directors had been read, a committee was appointed, on the proposition of Mr. Edward Harper, to inquire into the state of the company's affairs, and to suggest what line of policy should be pur- sued for the future; and on Saturday last the adjourned half-yearly meeting was held at the Monk's Ferry Hotel, for the purpose of receiving their report. Mr. Alderman Bancroft, of Manchester, chairman of the company, pre- sided. The report, after stating the course of proceedings; and acknowledging the assistance which the committee had received from the chairman, directors, and officers of the company, proceeded to say :—" The result of the inves- tigation has satisfied your committee that, in the future conduct of your affairs, it is clearly the true interest of the shareholders to cultivate friendly relations with the Shrewsbury Companies, and to attract and bring over both lines of your railway from the whole system of the Great Western Company the utmost traffic which they can contribute. The committee find that, since the com- mencement of the year 1851, the Shrewsbury and Chester Company has obtained three acts of parliament for run- ning powers, or for the amendment and extension of those powers, over the lines of this company, and in each case the applications have been based on alleged obstructions to their traffic, chiefly in the direction of Manchester. The bills, when before parliament, encountered the oppo- sition of your directors, but were, nevertheless, passed. These measures, combined with the withdrawal, in 1852, of the bill for leasing the Birkenhead line to the three companies, now forming the Great Western Company, have weakened the mutual confidence in each other of the direc- tors engaged in those hostilities, and the committee, whilst deploring the existence, ascertained by them, of continued mistrust, on the part of the Great Western board, towards some of the directors of your company, have laboured assi- duously to remove it, and they trust not altogether in vain. One of the first impediments to a good understanding and harmonious action for the future, appeared to be the existing litigation with the Great Western Company, and your committee have endeavoured to bring about a friendly settlement of this litigation, which they trust may yet be attained by mutual concessions. Another impediment, which was found to involve considerable complexity, pre- sented itself in certain agreements between the London and Northwestern Company and this company. (See Appendix A.) The first agreement is dated 21st Nov., 1850, and was made under the authority of a clause in this company's act of 1847, by the provisions of which your company abandoned certain lines supposed to be in- jurious to the London and Northwestern Railway Com- pany, for the construction of which Legislative sanction had been obtained, and for which abandonment an equi- valent concession to this company was intended to be made. Your directors also obtained the right of using the lines of the former company between Warrington and Manchester, paying to them fifty per cent. on the gross receipts, according to mileage, for all traffic carried by your trains over the London and Northwestern Railway. Considering that this agreement was intended by your board to obtain for your company for ever the same inde- pendent access to Manchester for all traffic passing over your line, which the construction of your own branch would have placed in your hands, the committee are of opinion that this was a most advantageous agreement to the Birkenhead Company. It was, however, soon after construed by the London and Northwestern Company as excluding all traffic from their line between Warrington and Manchester, which was not brought in the proper waggons and carriages of the Birkenhead Company itself, thereby preventing any Manchester traffic from passing in the carriages and waggons of other companies. Under an agreement made subsequently to the former, and dated 21st June, 1851, (see appendix B,) the Birkenhead Com- pany acquired the right to forward other carriages than those of your company, subject to the condition that they were not to charge for the through traffic from other lines lower rates than those which might be taken for the local traffic ppssing over your line, without the previous consent in writing of the London and Northwestern Company. The effect of this agreement upon the through traffic from the Shrewsbury companies was, of course, to annihilate it. This latter agreement is endorsed on the former one, and has the official seal of your company attached ; and your committee think it right to state that such agreement, although twice presented for confirmation at general meet- ings, has not received the sanction of the shareholders. The committee doubt the legal and practical value of this agreement, and think it is incumbent on the board to as- certain the extent of their legal rights, under the first agreement, with regard to traffic coming from other com- panies. One of the effects of the stipulation, by which your •directors are compelled not to charge for foreign traffic lower rates than those imposed on the local traffic of your line is, that the London and Northwestern Rail- way Company are enabled to fix amore moderate scale of charges on the traffic of their own line from Manchester to Chester than you are. permitted to charge by your shorter route. Thus, fon Salop goods, fifty-two miles, from Manchester to Cheste'; sjia Crewe, the London and Northwestern Company charge:-- First-class, Bs. 10d.; second-class, Us. 441. ; 13s. ; fourth-class, 175.; fifth-class, 245. Forty miles, from Chester to Manchester, via" Warrington, the Birkenhead Company.charge :—First- class, lls. Bd. ; second-class, 13s. 4d. ; third-class, 16s. Bd.; fourth-class, 20s. ; fifth-class, 30s. The traffic derived by this company from the neighbouring lines is shown by the returns in the appendixes which were (furnished by the secretary to this company. When the communication between your line and the Warrington and Altrincham Railway, at Walton, shall be completed, the Great Wes- tern Railway Company, however, may be able, without in- with any agreement, to carry their traffic by the )owers in the direction of Manches- :erferin use of their runniu,4. r committee feel that it would have been more satisfactory thay the traffic passing through Chester towards Manchester should be carried by you on terms perfectly equal and just, so as to invite and secure the traffic of both the London and _Northwestern and Great- western systems." tex; but p The report, after alluding to the favourable prospects of traffic, and remarking on the inadequate remuneration received by the company for terminal charges at Birken- head, continues :—" The committee deem it most desirable to endeavour to arrange, as far as practicable, with the Great Western Company, to work the trains of both branches of your railway, and to provide the establishment for carrying on the whole trade of the company on specified and satisfactory terms ; and they have the pleasure to re- port that the board have, with the entire concurrence of your committee, entered into negotiations, by means of which they trust this desirable object may be attained. In conclusion, your committee recommend to the share- holders, at the ensuing. election of directors, to place on the board four gentlemen unconnected with past differ- ences, who are likely to aid hi the results aimed at,— namely, to secure absolute impartiality in the reception of the traffic of your railway, and to promote economical manageinent." The CUAIEMAN having stated that the report of the directors had not yet been adopted, owing to the adjourn- ment on the last occasion, called upon Mr. Edward Harper to move the adoption of the report of the committee, which, he supposed, would come before them in the shape of an amendment to the adoption of the original report. Mr. HARPER thought the best plan to adopt would be to receive both the reports, and enter them side by side; for the consideration of the future board. He would move, " That the report of the directors, and the report of the committee of shareholders now produced, be received, and entered on theminutes of the company?' Mr. WILLIAM EVANS, of Manchester, One of the com- mittee, in seconding the proposition, bore testimony to the cordial manner in which the board of directors had facilitated their investigation. Mr. W. JACKSON, Ac.P., put it to Mr. Harper whether the last clause but one, recommending that both branches of the railway should be worked by the Great Western Railway Campany, would not be giving a great prepon- derating influence to that company over the North- western, and whether such a position was not inconsistent with their policy to show no favour to any particular com- pany, but to receive all alike. He wished to know whether, when the Great Western had running powers over their line, the same privileges would be conceded to the North-western and the Holyhead Companies, if de- manded by them. y 411/I.o'lll Mr. E. HARPER replied that he was particulatt to secure, both to the London and North-western and the Holyhead Companies, the same privileges that were pro— posed to be accorded to the Great Western ; and he thought there should be an express. stipulation that those companies should have the privilege of carrying theirowm traffic, unless it were satisfactory to them to be carried by the Great Western, at whatever rates the Great Western carried their own traffic, on the branch lines or this company. He was himself prepared to embody that in the report now submitted, but it was thought it might probably impede negotiations with the Great Virestern, and that it ought to be left to the board, to see that no exclusive privileges should be enjoyed by any. After some _discussion, Mr. JACKSON moved as an be struck amendment that the words out of the clause as to the running powers, and the words " adjacent railways" be substituted. Mr. HALL seconded the amendment. This led to a further discussion, and on the question being put to the vote there were found, for the amend- ment, 15; against it, 66. The proposition of Mr. Harper, that both reports should be adopted and entered on the minutes, was, therefore, carried. The next subject was the election of four dire, the place of the following, who were eligible for re- election :—Messrs. A. Howard, T. F. Maddock, James Gandy, and Peter Dickson. After a lengthened discussion, the following were elected :—Mr. William Atkinson. Mr. S. D. Darbyshire, Mr, Edward Harper, and Mr. William Evans. The retiring auditor (Mr. J. Tyrer) having been re- elected, vo,to of thanks to the chairman terminated the proce4dillgs. COURT AND FASHION. Mn. SAMUEL PIIILL/PS, the editor of the " Hand-book to the Crystal Palace," died suddenly at Brighton on Saturday week, from hemorrhage of the lungs, in his 39th year. Mr. Phillips was a well-known writer in Black- wood, the John Bull, Morning Herald, and other Con- servative publications. He had been long suffering from consumptive symptoms. Tits LORD MAYOR of London and the Lady Mayoress have accepted the invitation of the Mayor and Mayoress at Doncaster to a ball at the Mansion-house in that town on Thursday, next. The dinner to be given by the 3layor and Corporation of Leeds to the Lord Mayor of London will take place on Friday next. Tns Ducnsss of GLOTTCESTER, now the only surviving child of King George 111., has arrived at a very advanced age, and a short time ago her health was in a very pre- carious condition, but her extraordinary constitution got the better of the malady, and she is again convalescent. With the view of improving her health, her royal high- ness went to Brighton ab-Out a fortnight ago, and has enjoyed the fine weather on the coast, taking carriage airing twice a day on the cliffs, and frequently driving on the pier esplanade. She has received several dis- tinguished persons now staying in Brighton, to pass the evening with her at her suite of apartments at the Bedford Hotel. TUB EARVOB ABINGDON died a little before 7 o'clock on Monday evening, at Wytham Abbey, about three miles from Oxford.

The supposed defalcations were, however, much lessened to-day by one of the absentees making his appearance, and paying in full all his creditors present ; that he had the means to settle has never been doubted. A report is fast gaining ground that one gentleman who was intrusted with a large commission to back Muscovite has gone to reside on the Continent, and has no intention of meeting the claims upon him ; but it is to be hoped that this report is un- founded. Since Tuesday, the betting upon the Cambridge.. shire Stakes has undergone considerable change ; Rattle hrs receded in the market, and Orinobo has advanced from. Btolto4 to 1 ; Scherz has also much improved. Yes- terday, Helena became friendless, 40 to 1 being offered in good quarters; to-day, however, we saw 20 to 1 taken rather freely. A good deal of inquiry was made about Quince, and received support at 25 to 1. A few invest- ments were made upon the Derby at the odds quoted.

Baker has named his brown yearling filly by Gameboy out of Maria, Alma ; and a bay colt foal by Cowl out of The Chi:ken's dam, Capucine. Mr. Thos. Carter, one of the oldest and most extensive trainers, as well as one of the most extensive breeders, in France, has removed his establishment from Lamorlaye to Chantilly. The Jockey Club has recommended to the managers of provincial races where the Newmarket rules are in force, not to allow any exception to the rule for claiming any horse which may run in selling stakes. Mr. Barrett's horses, consisting of Haco, Daffodil, and colt by Old England, out of Dauntless, 2 yrs, have left Young King's stables, Stockbridge, for W. Goodwin's, at Newmarket, where in future they will be trained. Count Branitskey's Zanoni (formerly Running Rein) died a short time ago, of inflammation of the lungs, in Russia. Jenny Lind (the dam of Hermit), also died, in the Count's stud, in Russia, a week or two ago. Mr. Disney has disposed of his yearling colt Artillery to Mr. Morris, for a specified period, viz., till after the St. Leger, 1856, in which race, as also the Derby, he is en- gaged. The terms are a secret. Artillery is by Touch- stone out of Indian Warrior's dam. _ . Mr. Copperthwaite's Early Bird was struck out of the Cambridgeshire Stakes on Wednesday last, after for some time as first favourite for that race. It is sug- gested by many of his backers, who thought to "pick up the worm" with him, that in future he be called the Decoy Bird.

ROBINSON and DUKE, Solicitors. ONE SHILLING FIRE AT BIRKENTIEAD.—About a quarter past ten o'clock on Saturday night, a fire broke out in the boat- building shed belonging to Mr. Hickson, at Woodside. The building being constructed of wood, and the roof being tarred, the fire spread to an alarming extent. On the adjoining premises were about 600 tons of coal, the property of M. Bankos, Esq., and to which the fire was fast approaching. By the exertions of the fire-brigade, however, the flames were prevented from spreading in that direction beyond the shed where it originated. In about three-quarters of an hour the fire was extinguished, but not before the shed and an iron house, which stood on the opposite side, had been completely destroyed. In the meantime, with the assistance of a number of work- men, the police had succeeded in removing the greater portion of the property in the building, consisting of ships' boats. gigs, row-boats, a quantity of timber, and workmen's tools, the whole being valued at £4OO. The damage caused by the fire, estimated at about £lOO, is covered by insurance. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER STANDARD GENERAL PRINTIN.G• OFFICE, 4, ST.

At a numerous MEETING of the ELECTORS of GREAT GEORGE WARD, held at the Great George Tavern, Upper Pitt-street, on MONDAY, the 23rd of October,lBs4, WILLIAM ASHLEY CLAYTON, Esq., in the Chair, the following resolu- tions were unanimously agreed to and carried by accla- mation : TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 24, 1854. PUBLIC BENEVOLENCE IT may be a deserved charge against the people of England at the present day, that, neglecting the unbought grace of life, they are too much devoted to the sordid pursuits of money-getting ; but, after the experience of the last few months, and even of the last few days, none can deny their being actuated by the pure spirit of unselfish benevolence when circumstances demand their aid. Scarcely had the expedition begun to leave our shores to do battle for the cause of justice in the East, and defend the insulted honour Moved by Jonx LAwxaxcE, Bub, seconded by JAMES BLAND, E.q., . _ _ _ of Europe against the aggressions of the Northern Despot, than an appeal was made to individual munificence to provide for the wives and children the accommodation which the profitable nature of his transactions had enabled him to obtain, he was compelled to succumb to the pressure. There are few cases wherein the sudden realisation of large assets would not involve very considerable loss; but it remains to be seen, in this instance, sup- posing time to be afforded for the judicious disposal of the property, whether the creditors will ulti- mately be sufferers to any great extent. But however this may be, and if even it could be proved that the individuals alluded to had acted with the utmost perfidy, it by no means justifies the sweep- ing charge, or rather insinuation, which has been made against the mercantile community of this great town. , . 1.---That the best thanks of this Meeting are due, and are hereby passed, to J. M`Nicoll, Esq., for the valuable services he has rendered to the Ward during the two years he has been its representative; and regret that so trifling a cause should have deprived the Burgesses of a Member so much appreciated. of those who had ventured their lives for England's Proposed by THOMAS TouLartrr, Esq., seconded by C. Swans, Esq., 2.—That this Meeting do consider Jamas MARX Woon, Esq., Merchant, a fit and proper person to represent Great George Ward in the Town Council. quarrel. So readily and so generally was the appeal responded to, that in a short time nearly a Hundred Thousand Pounds was collected, and the minds of the soldiers set at rest with reference to the welfare of those they left behind them. Then came the news of the fierce and deadly struggle on the heights of Alma, where hundreds of gallant soldiers lost their lives or their limbs to gain the brilliant victory which struck the first blow at Russian supremacy in the Crimea, and opened the road to the fortress of Sebastopol ; and this was followed by the harrowing intelligence that the wounded, conveyed to the hastily-arranged hos- pitals in Turkey, were suffering from the want of the commonest necessaries, and enduring more bitter agonies from the neglect than they had experienced under the murderous fire of the Russian artillery. Again an appeal was made to public sympathy, and so cheerfully was the response made that in one week more than Five Thousand Pounds was contributed. It is true that the tale of distress has since been contra- dicted, and we quite agree with the opinion expressed at the preliminary meeting held in the Town-hall, on Wednesday, that everything needed for the sustenance and comfort of the wounded soldiers should be provided by the Government as part of the necessary cost of the war ; but, while the question was being debated, the sufferers may have been lingering in agony. It was a time not for discussion but for action, and the manner in which the appeal was met demonstrated most forcibly that a reliance on the kindly feelings of our countrymen was not in vain. We have given in another column a letter from our townsman, Mr. HAUSBURG, enclosing a donation to the fund, and it is with much gratification we call attention to the circumstance. In addition to these aids, a Royal Commission has been issued for the manage- ment of a Patriotic Fund, similar to that whichivas raised after the battle Waterloo, to provide for the widows and orphans of the slain, and none can doubt that the contributions to it will be worthy of the occasion. With these facts before us, open to all the world, we may endure the reproach of being a money-getting people, for a large number are evidently practically aware that " it is more blessed to give than to receive." THE COMMERCIAL CREDIT OF LIVERPOOL. Whilst upon this subject, we may notice a letter which appeared in The Times on Wednesday, with the imposing signature of "A Merchant who has both required and obtained legitimate assistance from his bankers." The writer asserts that bankers ought to make it a part of their business to ascertain the exact position of the affairs of every house to whom they make large advances ; and then, referring to " the appalling disclosures which are now taking place in the affairs of the two Liverpool firms who have just failed for such unheard-of amounts," he said that had their bankers adopted the precaution which he advises, they would have saved Liverpool the discredit which these affairs have caused. It is very easy to give advice gratis, but it is not easy to state how any bankers can ascertain the exact position of a merchant's affairs, even supposing him to be willing to submit his books to examination. The proposed remedy is simply absurd, and we altogether deny the imputation that these affairs have caused dis- credit to Liverpool. MOied by D. WKINLAy, Esq., seconded by WILLIAM TipmsoX,_E9.E_ 3.--Thalthis. 'Wetting pledge themselves to use every exer- tion to secure the triumphant return of JAMES MARK Woon, Esq., and do constitute a Committee for conducting that Gentleman's Election. DISGRACEFUL SCENE AT ST. PAUL'S CHURCH, KNIGHTSBRIDGE. THE conduct of certain individuals during the performance of Divine Service at St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, on Sunday week, was so thoroughly disgraceful, so utterly indefensible, that no terms of reprobation can be too strong to apply to it. Moved by Mr. STUBBS. seconded by Mr. NUKEVRICIAN, 4.—That Mr. Wagstaff be re-elected Representative of the Ward. We care not what were the views of the party— whether their opinion as to the mode of repeating the Litany was the most correct or not, or whether the Hon. and Rev. R. LIDDELL, the Incumbent, acted properly or not in complying with the re- quest of his Diocesan. All this is nothing to the purpose ; for no difference of opinion, whether well or ill-founded, can justify, in the slightest degree, such a blasphemous desecration of the sanctities of Divine worship as was exhibited on this occasion. We cannot imagine, nor can those who acted so vilely, explain to themselves, what must have been their feelings when, in mockery of their Moved by Mr. WOOD, seconded by Mr. TouLmts, That the thanks of the meeting be given to Mr. Clayton for his able conduct in the chair. H ORSLEY'S "DAVID." SHAKSPERE says :—" It's excellent to have a giant's strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant." The Times, however, rejoicing in its strength, arising from its large circulation, seems actuated by a different opinion, and deals out its mimic thunder with utter recklessness of conse- quences. On Thursday last it indulged in well- feigned indignation at the wretched vice of gambling, and then launched out into a merciless tirade against the more heinous sin of commercial gam- bling, alluding to the recent failures in Liverpool, and leaving the inference to be drawn by super- ficial, and, therefore, the majority of newspaper readers, that the practices of the swindler and the black-leg at the gaming-table were honour and virtue, compared with those of the merchants of Liverpool. It ought to be needless to say anything in defence of a body of men who stand second to none in the world for the magnitude and impor- tance of their operations—who, in less than half a century, have raised Liverpool from a place of minor importance to be the great emporium of the world ; whose ships, unrivalled for speed and capability, are to be found in every port, and whose exports exceed in value those of all the rest of the United Kingdom. But it is put forth to the world that the leading journal of Europe accuses them of the grossest perfidy ; and though the insinuation of such a charge can only be attributed to ignorance or malevolence, there are, unfortunately, too many who give credit to such statements in the same spirit. We have no occasion to mention names, or it could not be difficult to refer to many Liverpool merchants whose credit is quite equal to that of the Bank of England, and whose reputation for that honour which gives the chief value to mer- cantile dealings is far superior to that of their detractors. Even the recent failures, which have given occasion to this diatribe, and which are exceptional cases in no way affecting the commer- cial honour of Liverpool, do not in themselves deserve the fierce wrath levelled at them by the Thunderer. It may so happen that an individual who, but a short time since, was comparatively without capital, has suddenly started into notice as a man engaged in most gigantic transactions, but they were not of that hazardous nature to be directly stigmatised as reckless speculation. The breaking out of the war with Russia created a large demand on tho part of the Government for superior ships to be used as transports ; and at the very time when, from 'the great extension of com- merce, the value of shipping had considerably increased. Advantage was taken of this demand to purchase every vessel that could be made avail- able, and it is stated that the contracts made with the Government were on the most favourable terms. Unfortunately, however, the capital necessary for so large an undertaking was far beyond the means of the contractor, and the continual difficulties in solemn appeal to the Holy Trinity to have mercy on them as miserable sinners, they were acting in bold and unblushing defiance of their spiritual pastor, and openly violating the common decencies of the sacred duty in which all were engaged. Such conduct is without any excuse or palliation, and is beyond even the miserable plea of ignorance, as the offenders were believed to be in the position of gentlemen, and assumed to be Churchmen. It will be recollected that, some months since, two of the assistant Curates of St. Paul's, Knights- bridge, resigned their curacies, for the alleged reason that Mr. LIDDELL, after declaring his in- tention not to make any alteration in the mode of performing Divine Service, had, at the request of the BISHOP of LONDON, altered the mode of re- peating the Litany from chanting to simply sing- ing it. At that time a small party of the congre- gation, headed by a Mr. ERNEST FITZROY, estab- lished what they called a Litany class, for the practice of singing this part of the service, and attempted an agitation against the Incumbent, avowing their determination to sing the responses in spite of his regulation to the contrary. After some correspondence, however, the attempt was abandoned; and we believe everything proceeded quietly until the day we have mentioned, when Mr. FITZROY, with a party acting evidently in concert, committed the outrage referred to. We have given the particulars, from a London Evening Newspaper, in another column. It will be seen that the popular Churchwarden made a display of his zeal by attempting a forcible expulsion of the principal offender ; but such a measure did not tend to lessen the unseemly disturbance. It is to be hoped that legal proceedings will be taken, as it i highly important that such disgraceful acts should not be allowed to pass with impunity. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last, an explosion of gas took place at the gas-works in Athol-street, when James Palmer, one of the workmen, was so seriously in- jured that he was removed to the Northern Hospital, where he died on Sunday. An inquest will be held to-day upon the body of the unfortunate man. Mr. OLIVER'S ESTATE.—A contemporary gives the fol- lowing with reference to the affairs of Mr. Oliver :—The estate shows property valued at £1,168,258 to meet £700,000 of liabilities, which would give a surplus of £368,250, but as the valuation of the property is based upon the cost to Mr. Oliver, a large allowance has to be made for the depreciation in value which has taken place. In order to estimate the probable amount of allowance to be made on this account, we may state that his assets consist—in ships, £600,850, due for charters and freight, £203,000; insurance claims, £45,000; timber, £94,500; oils, coals, and mines, £49,300; bills and securities, £150,000; open accounts and securities, about £25,000. Now supposing that a loss of one-third the original amount should be sustained upon the whole of the assets, there would still be sufficient to pay the creditors in full, and leave a balance of nearly £BO,OOO, provided the liabi- lities are correctly stated, and not increased by any un- foreseen circumstances. The following is a list of the ships owned by Mr. Oliver : Anne. Georgina. Pemberton. Arethusa. Glasgow. Pettoma. Ant. Gertrude, (deposit) Pamela. Aberfoyle. Haidee. Pero. Adriana. Haidee. Princeton.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. RIO JANEIRO must be the paradise of capitalists. The National Bank of Brazil has just declared a dividend of 26 per cent. per annum, whilst the Mortgage Bank pays 8a per cent. _ THE CROSS AND TRU CRESCENT.-It is mentioned by a Vienna paper that for the first time for four hundred years a cross was publicly erected in the Turkish capital. It was while a funeral mass was read for Marshal St. Arnaud. THE BEARD MovismnNT.—A gentleman in Vermont, some years since, declared that he would not shave till Henry Clay was chosen President of the United States. He kept his word and is still living with half-a-bushel of hair hanging from his face. IsAlcToirissAnir LOT:VI:EWER, the only surviving son of the celebrated black general of that name, of the island of St. Domingo, has just died at Bordeaux, at an advanced age ; where he had been living under an assumed name. He was in receipt of a large pension from the French Government. PROROGATION OP PARLIANIINT.—A supplement to the London Gazette states that, at the court held at Windsor on Wednesday, Parliament, which stood prorogued to Thursday, the 19th instant, was further prorogued to Thursday, the 16th day of November next. THE RULING PASSION.—A Madrid correspondent, describing the interest the poorer classes take in a bull- fight, says that recently a young man actually cut off his wife's hair, while she was asleep, and sold it, in order to raise money for the purpose of seeing the fight. A PATENT has been signed, allowing Mr. T. P. Shaffinir, an American, to construct an electric telegraph from North America, over Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroes, to Norway, and Copenhagen. A CIIELTENJL&M Pd.PER states that a few days ago, as the wife of a butcher, of Crosley, Wilts, was whitewashing their cottage, she pulled away an old board from the ceiling, when a bag containing £370 in gold fell to the floor. ROYAL JI7VENILE GenDinuißs.—The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal have each a small garden at Os- borne, which they cultivate themselves. Great rivalry exists amongst them as to which can produce the best flowers and fruit. The Prince had failed in the production of something, and he solicited help. Prince Albert, when he found this out, forbade it, adding he did not wish the future King of England to receive assistance in anything that he could do himself. A THOUSAND SINGING BIRDS FOR AMERICA.—Among the "passengers" by the Washington steamer, which left Southampton last week for the United States, were upwards of 1,000 singing canary birds. A cabin was fitted for them. Canary birds are exported in large numbers from Brecon to New York by the Southampton steamers, and they are collected from all parts of Germany. PERMANENT TowNs are rising at the Victoria gold- diggings. The Bendigo "diggings" will soon be super- seded by the " City of Sandhurst ;" the land is being surveyed in the vicinity, and there will ere long be 20,000 acres ready for sale. In other golden localities a similar change from encampments to towns and villages is goingon. erosf BrDa4Neflt,EßalraSeroSbP:r of great renownone ofin ithhee France, was recently amusing his audience at Bordeaux, I3soruoth the "perche " on which he was going through his evolu- tions broke. He was killed on the spot making, as the Salut Public of Lyons observes, the fifth catastrophe of the kind which has happened within the year. CoPYßlMlT.—American journalists are full of the copy- right question. The last blow passed home. The most selfish as well as the most generous instincts are now roused. Mr. Prescott finds himself as much wronged by the want of law, as Mr. Grote ; and Mr. Hawthorn is as defenceless against the reprinters in England as Mr. Dickens is against the reprinters of the United States. HOTEL ROBBERY.—On Tuesday, Corneille Gospert was committed, by the Marlborough-street magistrate, for a daring mode of robbery. He took a bed at Webb's hotel, in Piccadilly, and, in the night, went round on a plunder- ing visit to each of the other guests. If any one took alarm he assured them he was "only boots." Thus he was progressing successfully, till a gentleman, thinking it extraordinarily early for " boots," collared him, and found stolen property upon 4i.. Bristol magistrates have committed a lawyer's clerk of that city, named John Gollifer, to take his trial for forgery, in imitating the signature of Sir John Eardley Wilmot, Bart. judge of the Gloucestershire County-court, on a counterfeit order for the protection of an insolvent. The young man had obtained £l2 from a tradesman of the city, who way in difficulties, by offering to carry him through the Insolvent Court, and had forged the order of protection as a means of keeping up the deception. ENTICAORDINANY BURGL/BY.—Even Regent-street, it seems, is not safe from burglars. Jewellery to the value, it is said, of £1,600, was stolen on Sunday last week, from the premises of Mr. Bumgart. A fortnight ago three men, apparently gentlemen, hired the apartments over the shop, and, on Sunday, having full leisure to effect their purpose, they cut a large hole through their floor into Mr. Bumgart's shop, and made off with a large quan- tity of gold watches, chains, rings, &c. DIE NEW Lap op EGYPT.—Said Pasha, says a correspondent of the Bombay Times, is evidently im- pressed with a sense of his present dignity and importance, and desirous that it should neither be lessened nor for- gotten. On some of his ci-devant acquaintance calling upon him in an every-day costume, and with a " Well, old boy, how are you ?" Said Pasha drew himself up with much dignity, and asked whether they would presume to address Her Majesty Queen Victoria in a similar costume and manner ? He subsequently ordered that none should be admitted to his presence in shooting coats, or other than suitable costume, i. e.—full dress. A RUSSIAN Psizn.—The Ocean Bride, which was lately seized at Leith as Russian property, has escaped condemnation in the Admiralty Court. It appeared that the vessel was properly the property of a British firm at Dundee, but being at or near Archangel at the time of the break out of the war, the was transferred to a Russian firm, to save her from seizure by Russia. It having now been seized by our Government as Russian property, the British owners plead that the transfer to Russia was but a sham; and the judge, taking this view of the matter, the ship was directed to be restored on payment of costs. FLOATING BATTERIES.—Messrs. Green, of Blackwall, Messrs. Wigram and Co., and Messrs. Smith, have received orders from the Government to build a set of floating batteries. They are to be flat-bottomed, with three keels, and of sufficient tonnage to carry a small fort constructed of iron and wood. It is stated that 350 tons of iron will be used in the construction of each fort, and that its iron walls will be everywhere nine inches in thickness. The forts are to be mounted with cannon. The vessels are to be of 1,300 tons burden, and will be as strong ag iron and inches thick. can make them. The decks are to be eight thick. It is believed that these formidable constructions are intended for the Baltic. THE LATH FIRE AT NEWCASTLE.--a is now ASCOT- tained that the total damage done by the destructive fire and explosion at Newcastle will not exceed £200,000. It will be remembered that the first estimate was that two millions worth of property had been destroyed. That the actual should be so much less than the real value, is to be accounted for by the wretched character of the neighbour- hoods which the flames consumed. These portions of Newcastle and Gateshead were exactly what the bulk of old London was previous to the great fire—horrible dens of filth and misery, in which it was impossible to carry out sanitary and police regulations. The fire will, therefore, be a purifier and refiner; and will improve the physical as well as the moral health of the community. CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. The twenty-second public drawing for rights of choice took place on Saturday week, the Rev. Dr. Worthington in the chair. At the conclusion of the drawing the chairman announced that the committee would shortly allot various estates. Amongst others that at Hounslow, in reference to which there had been considerable delay, owing to the absence of the Duke of Northumberland, whose signature was re- quired to an indispensable deed. That formality had now been procured, and the society would shortly be in a posi- tion to proceed with the allotment of this estate. Many inquiries had been made as to the time for the allotment of the estate at West Malvern, and he was happy to say that it would speedily take place, as well as of the East Retford and Tunbridge Wells estates. The committee had just concluded the purchase of a very valuable estate in the east of London, and the purchase of other valuable properties was in contemplation. He need hardly remark that they had been very successful at this year's registra- tion, as it was " a great fact," indeed, so signal had been the success, that he trusted the whole conservative party throughout the kingdom would come forward and avail themselves of the machinery of the society, and thus aid very much the value of their investments. He confidently trusted, at no distant date, to be able to congratulate the shareholders on a great increase in the value of their property. THE COMMON LAW PROCEDURE ACT of last session (17th and 18th Victoria, chap. 125) comes into force this day. It is entitled, "Ana ct for the further amendment of the process, practice and mode of pleading in and enlarging the jurisdiction of the superior courts of common law at Westminister, and of tke superior courts of common law of the counties Palatine of Lancaster and Durham." There are 107 clauses in the act. Judges, by consent, may try questions of fact without a jury. Two judges may sit at the same time for trial of causes pending in the same court. Arbitrations may be ordered before trial. A special case may be stated and questions of fact tried. A judge may order an arbitration at the time of trial when issues of fact are left to his decision. An award is to be made in three months, unless the parties or the Court enlarge the time, A rule to deliver possession of land in pursuance of an award is to be enforced as a judgment in ejectment. In addressing a jury the party who begins, or his counsel, is to be allowed, in the event of his opponent not announcing, at the close of the case of the party who begins, his inten- tion to adduce evidence, to address the jury a second time at the close of such case, for the purpose of summing up the evidence (if any), and the right of reply is to be the same as at present. A judge may adjourn a trial. An affirmation may be received in lieu of an oath where a partl, refuses or is unwilling to be sworn, when the judge is satisfied of the sincerity of the objection. Parties may discredit their own witnesses. Comparison of disputed handwriting is permitted. Documents may be stamped at trials ou payment of the duty and penalty. Error may be stated on a special case. Grounds are to be stated on a rule nisi for a new trial, and if a rule is refused, the party may appeal. There are several provisions on the subject of the appeals. An oral examination of witnesses to be directed. Persons who refuse to make an affidavit may be examined. The discovery and production of docu ments to be ordered. Interrogatories may be delivered to the opposite side. Inspection by a jury of parties or wit- nesses to be permitted. A judge may make regulation for the attendance of a jury. A creditor who has obtained a judgment may examine his debtor as to the debt due to him, and ajudge may attach the debts and adopt proceedings to obtain the same. There are some sections with respect to an action for /nandamus to enforce the performance of duties, showing the nature and mode of proceeding. A specific delivery of chattels to be enforced. An alteration is made as to a writ of injunction, which may be applied for at any stage of the cause. An equitable defence may be pleaded. Actions may be maintained on lost instru- ments. Some amendments are made as to actions of eject- meat. The provisions are extended to the county palatine of Lancaster and Durham, and the Queen may direct all or part of the act to extend to any court of record in Eng- land or Wales. The judges may make rules, and new forms of writs of proceedings are to be ordered to carve into effect the common law refopii fauctioned by the act. TnE PEOPLE or SOUTH AUSTRALIA are raising a fund of £20,000 for the wives and children of our soldiers and sailors engaged in the war. REMARKABLE Tray COINCIDENCES.—This year the Chesterfield Stakes were won by Lord Chesterfield, the Rutland Stakes by the Duke of Rutland, the Bedford Stakes by the Duke of Bedford, and the Cusarewich by Muscovite ! THE TREASURY.—It is reported at the Treasury that Mr. G. Arbuthnot, the auditor of the civil list, will shortly be appointed a Commissioner of Woods and Forests, in the room of the Right Hon. T. F. Kennedy. TILE RULING PAssion..—Since the news of the late victory has arrived, applications for admissions into the army have increased nearly tenfold. A PROMISING FAMILY.—A child, aged three years, belonging to a woman named Henry, died near Toome, Ireland, a few days ago from intoxication ! The grand- mother, mother, and aunt of the child were all drunk at the same time.—Northern Whig. LONGEVITY.—On the 7th of October, Mrs. Susan Ablett died at Weybread, in the county of Suffolk, aged 104 years, She was born on the 4th of June, 1750, and baptised on the 13th of October, 1754. It is remarkable that her burial took place on Friday, the 13th of October, 1854, just a century after her baptism. She enjoyed the use of her faculties until the last year of her life, and had a cheer- ful and happy expression of countenance. EXETER DIOCESAN TRAINING COLLEGE.—The newly- erected college at Exeter was opened on Wednesday, with great pomp and ceremony. The building has lately been erected by public subscription, with the aid of a grant from government, for the training of national school- masters for the West of England. In the evening the event was celebrated by a public dinner, at which Earl Fortescue (lord-lieutenant of the county) presided. Ax M.P. Ix A CART.—On Monday- night, Mr. George Hudson arrived at Middlesbrough-on-Tees, on a visit to the mayor. On his arrival at the station no conveyance could be had by which to reach the residence of the mayor. The town cannot boast of a single cab, and as a last resort the member for Sunderland mounted a milkman's cart, which was on its way to Morton, and thus the railway king jogged on to Mr. Bolckow's hospitable mansion. _ _ BVISTT BANK NOTES.—Messrs. Thiedmann and Co., one of the firms which were burnt out on the Quayside, Newcastle, had in their safe the sum of £35 in bank notes. They were, however, burnt to ashes ; but the remains were laid before the manager of the branch bank, were carefully packed up and sent to London, and, by return of post, an order for the amount was transmitted._* EXTRAORDINARY COINCIDENCE.—The 23d September, the day on which the Russians sunk their ships of war in the entrance to Sebastopol, is the first day of the French year, according to the Republican calendar, the first day of the Jewish year, and also the first day of the Mahome- dan year. The commencement of the French year is concurrent with the autumnal equinox; the Jewish is a regular lunar year ; and the Mahomedan consists of only 354 days 9 hours. This strange concurrence of the three new-years' days has never happened before, and will not be witnessed again for thousands of years. COTTON FISITING NETS. Cotton fishing nets have lately been manufactured with the best effect in Perth- shire. Several of the cotton nets have been used during the past season in the fishing of the :Tay, and have answered every expectation. They are lighter and softer, and consequently easier to draw, than the common hemp nets, and are capable of being dried more perfectly, besides possessing other good qualities which recommend them to the general use of fishers. LIE NEWCASTLE EXPLOSION.—When at Newcastle, on her way to Hull, the Queen entered into conversation with Lady Williamson and Mr. Liddell, and made in- quiries of the Mayor of Gateshead relative to the late calamitous fire, expressing her sympathy with the inhabit- ants, and desiring that her. Majesty's name should be added to the subscription list in aid of the sufferers, with the munificent contribution of £lOO. TIIE ARCTIC COURTS-31A.RTIAL.—At the courts-mar- tial held at Sheerness, on the officers of the Arctic squad- ron, Captain M'Clure, Captain Kellett, and Commander Richards were honourably acquitted of all blame in aban- doning their ships. Of course, they acted under the orders of the senior and chief, Sir Edward Belcher. In reference to Sir Edward Belcher the finding has been :—The Court is of opinion, from the great confidence reposed in Cap- tain Sir E. Belcher by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and the ample discretionary powers given to him, that he was authorised, and did not act beyond his orders, in abandoning Her Majesty's ship Assistance and her tender, the Pioneer, or in directing the abandonment of Her Majesty's ship Resolute and her tender, the In- trepid, although, if circumstances had permitted, it would have been advisable that he should have consulted with Captain Kellett previously ; and that the Court doth adjudge the said Captain Sir E. Belcher to be acquitted, and he is hereby acquitted accordingly. The President then returned Sir E. Belcher his sword without observa- tion, and the Court was dissolved. AN INTERESTING GROUP OP EMIGRANTS.—Mr. Austin, a gentleman owning large tracks of land in Australia, has engaged about 20 youths, between the ages of 12 and 17 years, at Glastonbury, the younger boys for seven, and the elder ones for five years respectively, as sheepkeepers on his extensive runs in the colony. They are furnished with suitable outfits for the voyage, and a free passage, and placed under the care of two experienced persons (a male and female), who are to have charge of them on their arrival. They are to be supplied with food and raiment during their apprenticeship, and at the close of their terms, to receive the sum of £lOO each. Only one of them wished to decline going, which being made known, ano- ther boy came forward immediately, was accepted, fur- nished, and joined the adventurers. Previous to setting off for their destination, they attended evening service at St. Benedict's Church, and the worthy incumbent ad- dressed them in a paternal and pathetic strain of exhorta- tion, to "remember their Creator in the days of their youth ;" observing that probably that was the last time in which they would be present at the public worship of God in their own country. The little fellows were deeply affected, and, with those of their parents who were pre- sent,.wept amidst the Christian sympathy of the congre- gation.—Bath Chronicle. HOPE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE. —Last week, the Hope Mutual Life Assurance and Honesty Guarantee Society held their annual meeting at their chief office, Princes-street, Bank, London, Mr. Vane in the chair. The report stated that from the Ist of September to the 31st of August, 1854, 341 proposals had been offered for new assurances for sums exceeding £Bl,OOO, and from which had been selected 234, covering risks of about £48,000, and yielding an annual income of £1,406 14s. 9d.; while, in addition, a large amount of business had been declined, owing to the extreme nature of the risks pro- posed. The lives enrolled on the books of the company on the Ist of September, numbered 544 for life and en- dowment insurances, the average sum insured on each being about £227, and the average age 37 years. The total sum assured exceeded £123,000, yielding an annual income of £5,000, and realised within the first twenty- nine months of the society's existence. The balance sheet showed an amount on either side of £20,519 9s. 6d. The chairman having regretted the loss, from death, of two of their directors, and congratulated the shareholders on the satisfactory position of their affairs, moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Mr. Glenson, and carried unanimously. Some observations from several of the shareholders having been replied to by the chairman, the retiring directors and auditors were re-elected, and the proceedings, after thanks to the London and provin- cial medical officers, agents, directors, and general ma- nager (Mr. Eiffe), terminated. A BRUTAL HUSBAND.—Thomas Looker, a journeyman cabinet-maker, was charged at the Worship-street Police- court, London, on Wednesday, with having violently assaulted and cruelly ill-treated his wife. It appeared from the evidence of the wife, a delicate-looking woman, that her husband, who obtained good wages, which he was in the habit of squandering in drink, returned home late on Saturday night in a state of intoxication, and, after grossly abusing his wife for not giving him a hot supper, came up to the bed, struck her on the eye, beat her about the breast, and gave her a violent blow on the temple, which rendered her insensible. On being ques- tioned by the magistrate, the complainant added that she had not tasted animal food for a month, and did not know what it was to have a quiet night's rest. She also stated, and her statement was confirmed by the relieving- officer and the policeman who apprehended the husband, that her children were at home half-starved and almost naked, with nothing but an old piece of quilt to cover them. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say to the charge, attributed the assault to the provoking conduct of his wife, who followed him to the public- house and disgraced him before his shopmates. TUE QUEEN or ENGLAND AND Tin KING OP POR- TUGAL.—The King of Portugal and the Duke of Oporto speak with delight of the reception and treatment they met with at the British court. Queen Victoria went down to the very door to meet them, kissed them both, addressed them at once as plain Pedro and Lewis, and during the whole time they stayed with her treated them adp if they were her own children. On one occasion, little Don Lewis, not having the fear of cholera before his eyes, was feasting gloriously upon an enormous bunch of grapes, when the Queen chancing to come up snatched it from him and threw it away, administering at the same time a dose of good advice on the subject of diet. This affec- tionate familiarity so endeared her majesty to the young strangers that they both cried when they took their last leave of her as if they were parting from their own mother. With their reception at Brussels, Berlin, Vienna, and the camp at Boulogne, they were not at all pleased. It was courteous, but at the same time too stiff and formal to be agreeable to boys of their age. The king's attendants, from the gentleman down to the lowest servants, speak in rapture of England and the English, who have therefore risen very considerably in the estimation of the Portu- guese. The wonders they relate are listened to with the greatest interest, but it appears that there are certain arcana, such as the existence of a tunnel under the Thames, the number of cabs and 'busses in London, and a few others, which, not to hazard their reputation for veracity, they communicate only to men of strong faith.— Lisbon correspondent of the Morning Herald. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE DT Two SISTERS.-At Newcastle-on-Tyne considerable sensation was excited last week by the suicide of two young women, sisters, under singular circumstances. Their names were Ellen and Isabella Robinson, aged respectively about 15 and 17 years, and they were the daughters of a man named Zekiel Robinson. The two deceased, and another elder and un- married daughter, lived with their father, all the three girls being occupied daily from home in some employment, by which they assisted in maintaining themselves, the youngest working in the establishment of a bookbinder. It appears that late on Saturday night, when the father was not in the house, a quarrel arose among the three sisters, all of whom slept in one bed, and they eventually became exceedingly excited. In the midst of the disturb- ance the father returned home in liquor, and either ordered the elder of the deceased to leave the house, or said some- thing which induced her to do so. She is described as being of an exceedingly irritable and stubborn temper. She left the house with little more than her nightclothes on, and never returned. Her father dreading that she would catch cold, sent the youngest of the sisters after her with her bonnet and shawl; but neither of them coming back again, he went in search of tl?em. They could nowhere be found, though the remainder of the night was spent in anxious inquiries concerning them. Their melancholy fate was not known until Sunday morning, when they were discovered drowned in the river in the vicinity of Elswick, about two miles from Newcastle, it is said, locked in each other's arms. They are described by those who knew them a., industrious girls of good character,

JUL-THE GREAT PURIFYING AND STRENGTH- EN LNG MEDICINE. • What though the sun in beauty shine, And you have countless hoards of wea'th; What though the world—all, all was thine, If you but want the blessing, Health. Dr. DE ROOS' PILULE VITAE, di VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS. A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, concocted solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom; they may be administered to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate Invalid, by merely regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the person. They remove all Disorders and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache, Fulness after Meals, Indi- gestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of the Bowels, Listless- ness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance and While they act thus salutarily, they must of necessity increase the strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensa- diseases,—as A . „ Paralytic Strokes, Epilepsy, 8;:c., are effectually warded off by a few doses of these Pills. They also produce sound refresh- ing Sleep, a keen Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy in invigorating the system, and imparting a pleasing serenity of mind. They are unequalled as a Family Medicine; in few instances, where occasionally employed in Families and Schools, will other assistance be needed. For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches, Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dim- ples, Sallowness, and giving a healthy juvenile bloom to the Complexion. Ladies, however delicate, will find them parti- cularly beneficial both before and after confinement. For Elderly People they are the most comfortable Medicine that can be taken. Mr. Smith, St. Ives: "Since taking your Pills I have not once required the services of a medical man, and feel satisfied this would be the case generally, if people were not so much governed by prejudice."—T. Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near Melton Mowbray: " Having read your advertisement, I felt assured your Pills would be of use to some of my poorer neighbours. I have had 12 boxes, and they have derived great benefit from taking them. I shall continue to recom- mend your valuable Pills to all my friends."— Mr. Edwin Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax: "I find your Pilulfe Vitae a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Maent- wrog.

No Emigrant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these Pills a never•failing restorative. _ . IMPORTANT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for Dr. DE ItOOS' Pills, have attempted to foist upon the Pur- chaser other Medicines, or trash of their own compounding, from which they obtain a larger profit. The GENUTNR have the words " WALTER DE ROOS, LONDON," in white let- ters on the red ground printed in the stamp, affixed to each Box, by special direction of Her Majesty's•Honourable Com- missioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate which is Felony. _ _ _. .

Elizabeth Yeates, of the Post Office, Ald. wick-road, near Bognor, Sussex, dated Jan. 13th, 1853.—T0 PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY.—Sir,—I Suffered for a considerable period from a severe attack of Erysipelas. which at length settled in my leg, and resisted all medical treatment. My sufferings were very great, and t quite despa.red of any per- manent amendment, when I was advised to have recourse to your Ointment and Pills. I did so without delay, and am happy to say the result was eminently successful, for they effected a radical cure of my leg and restored me to the en- joyment of health. I shall ever speak with the utmost confidence of your medicines, and have recommended them to others in this neighbourhood similarly afflicted, who de- rived equal benefit.—l am, Sir, your obliged and faithful Servant, (Signed) ELIZABETH YEATEs. A DREADFULLY DISEASED ANCLE CURED AFTER BEING GIVEN UP BY THE FACULTY AT MALTA AND PORTSMOUTH HOSPITALS.—The following important communication has been forwarded to Professor Holloway for publication, by Mr. B. Dixon, Chemist, King-street. Norwich.—Copy of a Letter from Captain Smith, of Great Yarmouth. dated January 19th, -1853.—T0 Mr. DIXON.—Dear Sir,-1 send you the particulars of a cure effected by Professor Holloway's invaluable medi- cines:—Mr. JOHN WALTON, late in Her Majesty's Service, in the British Fleet at Malta, had a very bad ulcerated ancle, and after having been in the Malta Hospital for six months, was sent to England as an invalid to Portsmouth Hospital, where he remained an inmate four months, there, as at Malta, refusing to have the limb amputated, he was turned out in. curable. He then came to Yarmouth, and was under a medi- cal gentleman for about three months, but his ancle became so much worse that all hope was lost. At this period, by my advice, he tried Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which by un- remitted application, healed all the ulcers, and restored him to perfect health and strength.-1 remain. Dear Sir, yours very truly, (Signed) JOHN SMITH. Albert Hotel, Great Yarmouth. SURPRIsOIN:CURE OF A BAD BREAST, NERVOUS DEBI- LITY, AND GENERAL ILL HEALTH.—Copy of a Letter from Mr. 7'. F. her, Chemist, Ife., Lower Moss-lane, Manchester, dated Feb. 12th, 1853.—T0 PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY.—Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in forwarding to you the particu- lars of a very extraordinary cure of a bad breast, effected solely by the use of your celebrated Ointment and Pills. Mrs. MARTHA BELL, of Pitt street, in this Town, had been for a considerable time labouring. under nervous debility, loss of appetite, and general ill health, occasioned by ulcerated wounds in the breast. She had much experience in the use of all the known remedies for the cure of ulcers, but without any beneficial result, in fact she hail nearly lost all faith and hope of a cure being effected. In this distressing and painful condition of body and mind. she was persuaded to have re- course to your invaluable Ointment and Pills, which she immediately did, and in the course of a very short time the effect produced was most astonishing; her appetite was speedily improved the sores and ulcers in the breast gradually healed, and the nervous excitement of her system was wholly removed.—l remain.

SIAL-THE GREAT PURIFYING AND STRENGTH- ENING MEDICINE. What though the sun in beauty shine, And you have countless hoards of wea'th; What though the world—all, all was thine, If you but want the blessing, Health. Dr. DE ROOS' PILUL/E VIT/E, or VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS. A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, concocted solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom; they may be administered to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate Invalid, by merely regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the person. They remove all Disorders and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache, Fulness after Meals. Indi- gestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of the Bowels, Listless- ness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance ; and while they act thus salutarily, they mast of necessity increase the trength of the Patient.

They also produce-sound refresh-- ing Sleep, a keen Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy , .. in invigorating the system, and imparting a pleasing serenity of mind. They are unequalled as a Family Medicine; in few instances, where occasionally employed in Families and Schools, will other assistance be needed. For t'emales they are truly excellent, removing Headaches, Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dim- ples, Sallowness, and giving a healthy juvenile bloom to the cnlarly ben, ficial boil before and after confinement. For Elderly People they are the most comfortable Medicine that can be taken. Mr. Smith, St. Ives: "Since taking your Pills I have not once required the services of a medical man, and feel satisfied this would be the case generally, if people were not so much governed by prejudice."—T. Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near Melton Mowbray: " Having read your advertisement, I felt assured your Pills would be of use to some of my poorer neighbours. I have had 12 boxes, and they have derived great benefit from taking them. I shall continue to recom- mend your valuable Pills to all my friends."— Mr. Edwin Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax: " I find your nuke Vita a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Maent- wrog, Tan-y-Bwlch, North Wales: "Mr. Warner's compli- ments to Dr. De Roos, and he finds no medicine do him so much good as his Pilula Vita." Persons going Abroad, Captains, and others, cannot store more important articles of health than the above. which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquillizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent abroad; as also Sea Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emigrant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these Pills a never-failing restorative. MPO RTA NT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for Dr. DE ROOS' Pius, have attempted to foist upon the Pur- chaser other Medicines, or trash of their own compounding, from which they obtain a larger profit. The GENUINE have the words " WALTER DE ROOS, LONDON," in white let- ters on the red ground printed in the stamp, affixed to each Box, by special direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Com- missioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate which is Felony. _ _ Mav be obtained through all Medicine Vendors, at Is. lad., 28. 9d., 4s. 6d., 11s., and 355. per Box, with Directions for Use, &c., or by enclosing Post-office Order or Stamps to Dr. DE ROOS, 10, Berner's-street, Oxford-street, London, they will be sent per return.

THE ALL-HEALING REMEDY!!! HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. AN EXTRAORDINARY AND RAPID CURE OF P.RYSIPELAS IN THE LEG, AFTER MEDICAL AID HAD FAILED.—COpy of a Letter from Mrs. Elizabeth Yeates, of tke Post Office, Ala- :nick-road, near Bognor, Sussex, dated Jan. 12th, 1853.—T0 PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY.—Sir,—I suffered for a considerable period from a severe attack of Erysipelas. which at length settled in my leg, and resisted all medical treatment. My sufferings were very great, and I quite despa'red of any per- manent amendment, when I was advised to have recourse to your Ointment and Pills. I did so without delay, and am happy to say the result was eminently successful, for they effected a radical cure of my leg and restored me to the en- joyment of health. I shall ever speak with the utmost confidence of your medicines, and have recommended them to others in this neighbourhood similarly afflicted, who de- rived equal benefit.—l am, Sir, your obl►ged and faithful Servant, (Signed) ELIZABETH YEATES.

Dixon, Chemist, King-street.

He then came to Yarmouth, and Was under a medi- cal gentleman for about three months, but his ancle became so much worse that all hope was lost. At this period, by my advice, he tried Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which by un- remitted application, healed all the ulcers, and restored him to perfect health and strength.—l remain, Dear Sir, yours very truly, (Signed) JOHN SMITH.

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. MONDAY MORNING. Tirz all-absol'Eg topic of every company and every tongue cOntinueareveni to this good hour, the war—the Alma—and Sebastopol. If it be, justifiable to say of " Macedonia's Madman" that-- Thrice he routed all his foes, And thrice he slew the slain, 1 it is scarcely less true or less justifiable to say of the 1 Knights of Cockneydom that they have often fought Alma " o'er again." Panoramas and penny-booths—placards and pamphlets—vie with each other in laying vivid, if not truthful, representations of that great military achieve- ment before an admiring and bewildered public, while every journal teems with details of the action, and is made racy with anecdotes of its heroes. Many of these are, no doubt, highly coloured, and not a few of exceedingly ques- -1 tionable authenticity ; yet in general they bear an amount of characteristic peculiarity highly suggestive of national idiosyncracy, and a cool indifference, if not an absolute contempt, of danger, which at once gratifies and interests the reader. Conspicuous among those is one as honourable to British humanity as the intrepid daring of her sons is creditable to their valour. When the allied troops were marching from the position out of which they had driven the discomfited hordes of Russia on the morning of the 23d, they had to pass (sixty long hours after the battle) a group of seven hundred and fifty wounded Russians, stretched upon the battle field, who had been left by their defeated comrades destitute of succour, and abandoned to the lingering agonies of unassuaged suffering. Ere our gallant army could bid adieu to these miserably maimed, deserted, and sr' sent Tering opponents, Lord RAGLAN orders to the Tartar peasantry of the nearest village that the wounded men would be confided to their charge, and that their wounds might be attended to. An English surgeon, Dr. MoNsoN, of the 44th Regiment, was left with them,—the sanctity of his mission, and the preca- rious efficacy of a flag of truce, being his only means of security against the probable vindictiveness of the wounded wretches' returning comrades. His was, indeed, true heroism, unstimulated by eclat. The threatened pre-Christmas Parliamentary session has blown up. The Cabinet Council, held on Wednesday, decided that it is not necessary, and, in ordering the pro- rogation to the 16th of November, came, it is said, to the understanding that Parliament shall assemble for the business somewhere about, or rather before the beginning of the coming year. The long-talked-of visit of the French EMPEROR and EMPRESS to our QUEEN, has, within the last few days, acquired a fresh vitality, stimulated, it is considered, by a rumour of extensive preparations among the State apartments at Windsor Castle, and some mysterious commands touching English and India shawls, received by some great house of business in the metropolis, from some one or other whose name is of too much consequence to be permitted to transpire. Among the London novelties—for a thing may be a novelty in London although quite common in Paris—is the intended adoption of pillar letter-boxes, erected in the That such erections will be of great public 'con- venience no one pretends to doubt, surprise bein dispatch of streets. confined to the fact that they have not been introduced long ago. While e - directed e POSTMASTER-GENERAL has his e, towards improvement-in this direction, he might find it conducive to public convenience also were he to bestow a moment's consideration on how the " smoke nuisance" might be abated at some of the post receiving-houses, in which the function of cigar vendor is commingled with that of distributor of "postage stamps" to her Majesty's lieges. In some of these establishments the ventilation seems so imperfect, and the accumulation of smoky vapour so dense, that females, or parties with delicate lungs, are exposed to great inconvenience by the thoughtlessness which converts a public office into a cigar divan. In these remarks I have purposely abstained from any allu- sion to the bold demeanour and free style which certain " fast young gentlemen" are said to indulge in towards ladies whose business leads them to enter these shops to purchase postage stamps. A few reformatory hints in this direction from his lordship would not be thrown Few subjects have of late commanded a greater share of attention, or received more sympathising consideration, than the condition of our sick and wounded soldiers in the East, as that has been represented. That the published details are, in many instances, gross exaggerations, hardly admits of doubt; but after making large allowance for overstatements, there is still a sufficient amount of misery and inevitably unheeded suffering to call for active ex- ertion on the part of the public. Fortunately the atten- tion of the wealthy and humane has been roused to the subject, and ere many days elapse a corps of male and female hospital attendants will have reached the scene of suffering, and those, combined with the official provision already made, will be able to meet even the most urgent necessities of the occasion. Another position in which the calamities of war have revealed themselves to our aching sensibilities, has arisen from the wail of the widow and the silent though apprehensive lamentation of the orphan. A willing ear has been on all sides turned to their plaint, and all classes have vied and still vie with each other in voluntary contributions towards their relief. With the watchful assiduity and native kindness of heart which have at all times distinguished her when the voice of sor- row and suffering has met her ear, the QUEEN has led the way in preparing succour and consolation for them in their bereavement, and the example has been nobly followed. Public benevolence has been roused all over the country, town competing with city, and hamlet with village, in contributing the only means of solace which it is in the power of a generous and great nation to bestow on those who cannot be looked on as other than the widows and orphans of the state. This is as it should be, and it forms a marked and honcgrable contrast to the barbarous apathy and cruel indifference manifested by the Russians towards their wounded and helpless countrymen, as that was dis- played by the miserable sufferers on the heights of Alma. Unlike the natural, the literary world may be said to hibernate in summer and blossom in winter. When the beetle and the dormouse quit their holes, the parterres of the Row begin to look sere—the blossoms have been culled—in the literary orchard, the fruit which will ripen has ripened and been gathered and garnered out of sight of the sun; and the summer of nature becomes in a great degree at least the winter of literature. When autumn's yellow tints are fading into cheerless brown, and the leaden sky which howls the prelude to November enwraps the shrinking earth, the trimmers of the literary garden begin to clear her encumbered flower-beds —her husband- men to look over and proclaim the nature of the coming crops. The first throes of the literary spring are evinced in the dissemination of those ingeniously concerted mis- sives, the Publishers' Circulars, the appearance of which gives unmistakeable token of the intellectual "time of flowers" being at hand, and no revival of vital energy in the animal or vegetable kingdom is more regular in its period of return than that which permeates the literary soil urging into shoot, and bough, and blos- som, the germ which genius has implanted, and which culture and intellectual care alone can foster into wholesome life-sustaining fruit. True enough, an occasional literary product forces its way into convulsive life amidst the prevailing general dor- mancy of the literary garden and field, but in general they are feeble and delicate of growth, like the unnatural strawberries and erratic apple-blossoms which we annually read of in provincial newspapers, phenomena which every- body wonders at but nobody admires, and which ti even deluded into the hope of seeing arrive at maturity The publishers' recess of the present year has proved no exception to those of ordinary currency. Some wild flowers and not a few weeds have overrun the neglected garden ; while here and there a nettle of more than ordi- nary pungency, or a thistle of sharper and harder thorns than usual, like " Firmilian," has shot up among the un- expected wonders ; nor hare the nightshade and dock- weed been without their representatives. Among the latter class, the reading public has been favoured, or lila contrary, with a luaus nature by an ofP.cer in Hsu MAJESTY'S navy—lwaheestmtblG in its time of flowering— sickly constitution—uncomely in aspect—of repulsive flavour—in short, a literary weed of rank and disagreeable as well as untimely growth. This, even the less literary of your readers will readily perceive, is the " English Prisoners in Russia," in publishing which Lieutenant Rom fulfils a duty for which he seems to have been specially prepared in Russia. He was, it must be remem- bered, an officer on board the ill-fated Tiger when that vessel was stranded and her crew captured off Odes From his notes he does not appear to have b itted, but to have been the unconscious, and it may be, the unwilling victim of false display ; and the Russian from General OSTEN SACKER, upwards and en very

"Gentlemen,—On Wednesday night last, my countinz- house, situate as above, was broken into by burglars, who, after having forced open all the drawers therein, made an attempt with gunpowder to blow open the large safe, which I purchased from you three years ago, but to no purpose; the lock of the safe door, although much strained, was opened by its key with much difficulty on the following morning. From the inside appearance of the safe, it is evident that a very heavy charge of gunpowder must have been applied, as several pieces of woollen cloth therein were burnt and other- wise discoloured. You are at liberty to refer to me for con- firmation of the above statement, if required.—l am, Gentle- men, yours respectfully, "JOHN BLAIR. " Messrs.

GREAT GEORGE WARD, A crowded meeting of the electors was held last night, at the Great George Tavern, Upper Pitt-street, for the purpose of considering the important subject of selecting a candidate in the place of Mr. M`Nicoll. William Ashley Clayton, Esq., was in the chair, and amongst those pre- sent were Aldermen Toulmin and Cooper, Councillor Wagstaff, Messrs. Wood, Lawrence, Fabert, M`lieverigan, Thomson, Braun, Porter, Stubbs, Bland, Mainley, Ches- terfield, Lawson, Lewis, Pattison, Anderson, Lowe, Boyd, and Mr. Gibson, the hon. secretary of the ward. The Chairman, in opening the business, said they were met in consequence of the unseating of their valuable re- presentative, Mr. M`Nicoll. They had to supply his place, and, as a gentleman had been s elected, he would call on Mr. John Lawrence, who moved the first resolution, thanking Mr. M`Nicoll for his valuable services, and re- gretting their being deprived of them. He referred to the time, two years ago, when he was returned by a large majority, and, after the experience they had had of him they had no reason to regret their choice Mr. Bland seconded the motion. Mr. M`Nicoll ,had fulfilled his duties to the satisfaction of every elector, and he was sure they all regretted being deprived of his ser- vices, and cordially thanked him for the duties he had performed during the last two years. Alderman Toulmin said he would not let the oppor- tunity pass of bearing his testimony to the value of Mr. M7sTicoll's services in the Town Courcil. Mr. M`Nicoll said the office of Town Councillor was one of honour, and he felt obliged for the handsome manner in which his services had been acknoaledged. A mere technical difficulty Lad occurred to prevent his continuing their representative, and not deeming it proper that the ward should for one year be unrepresented, he had at once resigned, and trusted that at some future time he might be able to serve them once more. He had the kigileet opinion 9f the geatlaaan whe had been "elected ST. ANNE'S WARD. MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF MR. KITCHEN Last evening a numerous meeting of the friends of Mr. Joseph Kitchen took place at the Public-room at the bottom of Hunter-street. Mr. Roger Haydock was called to the chair, and, in opening the proceedings, explained that the object of the meeting was to allow Mr. Kitchen and his committee to refute certain statements which had been made derogatory to them, not only as candidates and canvassers, but as men. Statements had been made that they had not only obtained signatures under false repre- sentations, but that they had forged them. Mr. Haydock gave instances that such an idea ought to be scouted. h had been Mr. Robinson denounced the attacks whic made, that signatures had been attached tition through misrepresentation or by means of forgery He would give a digest of the memorial. It contained th, names of three clergymen, nine professional men, thirty- two tradesmen and manufacturers, 132 householders, and 102 shopkeepers. The speaker, after relating many facts, and reading letters in refutation of the charges which had been made, referred to a statement which had been pub- lished in the Liverpool Courier. This, he said, was the first time that ever a low and scurrilous squib, he thought, had been allowed to appear in a Liverpool newspaper; but the proprietor of that paper had been obliged to the amende honorable. That the "entire-sancti fication Courier" could be a party to such a statement, he was sur- prised. The proprietor had promised to make the matter right; but what did that mean? A similar statement again appeared, and the simple plea was, that it was paid for—it was an advertisement. Now, if such a scurrilous statement could be repeated in the advertising columns for a price, why not in the local columns? and if so, by a parity of reasoning, why not in the leading articles? (Hear, hear.) He was surprised that the proprietor should have circulated such a report, so derogatory to his character, and so injurious to the character of Mr. Kitchen. Mr. Fraser, the Secretary, spoke at some length, and in energetic terms, in praise of Mr. Kitchen. The following resolution was then carried "That this meeting is fully satisfied that the charge made by Mr. Houghton in his address,—` That many have signed a requisition to my opponent,' under false repre- sentations,' is totally untrue, and records its opinion that nothing but the most honourable and straightforward means have been adopted in securing signatures." Mr. Kitchen was then called upon, and received with loud applause. He dwelt upon the various municipal topics which are at present agitating the town, and pro- mised, if elected, he should constantly hold himself in readiness—be accessible to his constituents—and would fulfil his duty to the best of his ability, and in accordance with their views. Several speeches were afterwards delivered, and resolu- tions, to the effect that Mr. Kitchen was a fit and proper person to represent the Ward, and to use every legitimate means in securing his return, passed, and the meeting separated after giving cheers for Mr. Kitchen. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONGST THE JEWS. MEETING LAST NIGHT. THE annual meeting of the Liverpool Auxiliary of this Society was held at the Collegiate Institution last evening, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester presiding. We also observed on the platform the Rev. Dr. M'lsTeile, the Rev. Messrs. M. Rawson, S. P. Boutflower, S. Crump, S. Butler, S. Minton, J. Bardsley, W. F. Taylor, Herbert Jones, W. Hamilton, J. Mg. Naught, Wright, Barry, Read, Ball, and J. B. Lowe ; W. Jones, Esq., E. Jones, Esq., H. J. Webster, Esq., E. P. Parry, Esq., E. Glazebrook, Esq., and E. Batty, Esq. ; Revs. C. W. Lawrence, R. Wolsley, A. Knox, S. D. Hirsch, S. S. Moss, E. Lawrence, and R. Oates. At the request of the Right Rev. Diocesan, the Rev. J. B. Lowe opened the proceedings with prayer. The Bishop of CHESTER then proceeded to address the meeting. My friends, said he, before I call upon the secretary to read the report to you, I wish to express the very great pleasure I feel in being present at this meeting, and having once more the opportunity of showing my own cordial sympathy in the great object of this society. As we are this evening to have the privilege of hearing seve- ral gentlemen to whom I am sure you will listen with the deepest interest, I should not have troubled you with a word more for myself, were it not that, under present circumstances, I just wish to say a very few words as to my own impression, and—if I may venture so to speak, in the reliance of God's blessing—a very few words as to the usefulness of this particular society. Almighty God, in His Holy Word, has given us assurance that the gospel of His blessed Son shall ultimately triumph andprevail over the whole extent of the world. Our Lord Jesus Christ him- self gave to His Apostles the comprehensive commission to preach the gospel to every creature, to make disciples of all nations ; and, in the spirit of that large command, the Apostles themselves preached the Gospel both to the Jews and to the Gentiles—" To the Jews first, and also to the Gentiles." And in the same spirit, my friends, the ministers and servants of Christ in every age must still continue to act, so long as there remains a single corner of the earth that is not visited by the light of the Gospel, and so long as there remains a single tribe or people who have not been won to obedience and faith, and added to Messiah's universal kingdom. Now, in our own country, there are several societies that have been formed, with an earnest desire and humble hope of being instrumental, through God's blessing, towards the accom- plishment of this great work—to Christianise the world. There are several Missionary Societies having for their object the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the dark parts of the Heathen world. It is a vast and noble undertaking; and may God bless it with success. Our own society, acting in the same spirit, still marks for itself a different field of operation. It addresses itself to the Jews, who stand in a peculiar relation to us, as our elder brethren in the covenants of God's dispensation to mankind. On that account they require to be approached in a peculiar manner, and by a peculiar line of argument. In dealing with the heathen, what missionaries have, un- der God's blessing to do, is to reclaim them from the debasement of idol's:try, in worshipping false gods ; but in the case of the Jew, the question we have to discuss with him is of a very different kind, and is narrowed almost, if not entirely, to one single point—whether Jesus of Nazareth be indeed the Christ, as Moses and the prophets foretold. And let me say that that is a point which, in subtle controversy with the Jews, requires a very great stock of accurate learning to discuss with the Jew with proper force. It requires, in many instances, au accurate knowledge of the ancient Hebrew tongue, to enable them to discuss by reference to their own books. Now, without entering into any deeper points of distinction that may affect the cause of the Jew as compared with the heathen world—points of distinction of which you have often heard some of my friends near me expatiate with great elo- quence and force—but merely looking at the question in a practical point of view, I think you will perceive that the conversion of the Jews is manifestly a peculiar de- partment—so far as we may venture humanly to speak— that the conversion of the Jews is a peculiar depart- ment in the great and vast work of Christianising the world. And from its peculiarity it does require to be ap- proached in a peculiar manner, and the use of peculiar missionary apparatus of its own—a special machinery of its own. So that the society is distinct from the General Missionary Society. (Hear, hear.) If a society takes upon itself, as this society has done, a special work requiring special means and a special apparatus of missionary labour, should we not give it our earnest support ? I know there are some persons who think— !and I speak of them with the most sincere respect—that I something is gained in these matters by centralization of funds. But Ist me remind those who hear me, that in all matters, so far as human means are concerned, very much is also gained by the judicious division of labour. (Hear, hear.) After some further observations, the right rev. chairman proceeded to state the names of the gentle- I men who would address the meeting, speaking in terms of eulogy of the Rev. Dr. M`Neile (whose name was the ! signal for a round of applause), and the Rev. W. F. Taylor, who had consented, since he came into the room, to second a resolution which bad been assigned to the Rev. Mr. Pollock, who, however, was precluded from being present by the pressure of his many duties. The Rev. J. B. LowE (the secretary) read the report of the Auxiliary Society during the past year. It showed that On jocal receipts ter the futaacial 7gar xp tg the Christian philanthropy is entirely lost on the obduracy of the Jewish nature. In contradiction to this hardening belief, he might be permitted to recal an anecdote of Scott, the venerable and great commentator, who, being spoken to in this manner, said, " When I recal to memory the heart steeled against God and against his holy offices and love, which I carried in my own bosom, I cannot doubt the efficacy of repentance of any one." Keeping stead- fastly in view the sentiment conveyed in this remark of the great Christian he had referred to, he felt doubly encouraged in recommending the operations of this society. It uses all legitimate means for forwarding the good work. In illustration of this he might be permitted to remind the meeting that there are upwards of fifty ordained clergymen of the Church of vented through the instrumentality of the society. The rev. gentleman concluded a long and eloquent address, by moving ihe adoption of the resolution. A hymn was here sung, during which, the collection was made. The Rev. M. RAINSFORD expressed his intention of being very brief, as, from his own experience of ten years' duration. lie was satisfied that the effect of public meetings was spoiled by being continued too late. He then went on to state that it was understood there are about 6,000,000 of Jews scattered over different countries; and it was melancholy to think that a majority of them were practical infidels, denying the Divine origin of God's Holy Word. The Jews, he continued, had great claims on the sympathies of all Christians ; yet, till of late year', they had been treated with indfference, or rather with cruelty. For 18 centuries they had been treated with contumely and injustice. He illustrated the beneficial ope- rations of tl.e so:iety,viy alluding to many instances in which youthful members or the Jewish faith had become sincere students of the New Testament, and through the instrumen- tality of that had become believers in Christ. He concluded by seconding the resolution, which was carried. The Rev. S. MINTON briefly proposed the adoption of the third resolution, which was as follows :—" That this meeting desire to express their sense of the great importance of the Anglican Bishopric of Jerusalem at the present crisis, and their thankfulness to God for the success which has attended the faithful labours of Lhe Bishop of that Diocese." The Rev. W. F. TAYLOR seconded the resolution, which was carried. The lter: F. PARRY moved the thanks of the meeting to the Lord Bishop, for his kindness in presiding. His LORDSHIP briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated. LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

The following-article appeared in the French'Govern- ment paper on Thursday : " The Minister, of War has received from the,_Geberal- in-Chief of the Army in the East despatches dated Oct. 3. "No fresh military operation had been effected, Since the taking possession of Balalilawa. The two armies are established in an .excellent military position, the English army drawing its materiel and provisions froml3klaklava, and the French .from two small bays to the nerak:of Cape Chersonesus. "This position of the two armies has natramilg deter- mined their mod-e of distribution on the territory before the place of Sebastopol during the seige. Thi} French army will have the left of the attack, from the sea to the southern fort. The English will take the right; from the southern fort totthe ruins of Inkermann. " Our army is dirided into two corps —the first, under the orders of General Forey, and composed of the third and fourth divisions, will make the seige ;the second, under the command of General Bosquet, anti comprising the first and second divisions, will form the corps of ob- servation. The Turkish division is placed. .in reserve according to circumstances. The English army has made similar arrangements. A portion of its divisions will assist in the attacks against the place ; the. other part, forming a corps of observation, will be united with the corps of General Bosquet. These arrangements are of a nature to remove all doubt as to the result of the seige which is• about to com- mence. " According to the statements of deserters, the spirits of the Russian army appear to be much. depressed since its disaster upon the Alma, where it lost from 7,000 to 8,000 men."- .. A letter from Augsburg says,— " The last communication from Austria to Prussia has been very favourably received in Germany, and this re- ception sufficiently attests the support which the Cabinet of Vienna finds from public opinion for all its energetic decisions. The Gazette Universelle iSe Leipsic, which has hitherto opposed Austrian policy, has just published an article the object of which is to show that, although the whole of her population is not German in feeling, Austria is More so than any other Ppwer by her resolu- tions and her actions. From this article we deduce the following considerations : " 'Austria has just announced her final decision to the Cabinet of Berlin, and that decision; it must be confessed, is vigorous, precise, and, in short, truly German. She will now, call upon Prussia to say, without ambiguity, Yes or 'No'—to declare herself for or against in the face of the, Germanic Diet, the German. nation, and before the tribunal of public opinon and alliEurope. She is about to present herself no longer in concert with Prussia, but alone, before the federal body, it; indeed, that body should' net itself take the initiative and frankly put the following: question :—` If Austria should draw the sword for Gem. many, will Germany cover Austria with her shield ?' , " We have read this declaration of Austria with plea- sure, and our national pride, so deeply humiliated by the inaction of Germany, exalts itself again at the aspect of this noble attitude.' " Tim Wan IN Asre.l---A letter in the Lloyck from Batoum, brings intelligence from Asia Minor up.to the 29th ult. Ferik Pacha, who with 8000 men was, on the Natauchta, crossed into4he Russian territory on the 27th, and reconnoitered as far as Dschumat. The Russians are concentrated at Kutaie, and are collecting reinforcements from the fortresses on the eastern coast of the Euxine. The Kars army is. being reinforced and reorganised. Ismail Pacha was expected to join it within. a few weeks. It may be well, indeed it is necessary, to mention that there are three Ismail Pachas—viz., the above-mentioned; a second, the governor of Erzereimi ; and trim third is the governor of Smyrna. The prestnt governor of Kars, Zary Pacha, remains inactive while the Russians are preparing for further operations. Schamyl sent messengers to inform the leaders of the Turkish army at Kars of his intended descent on the Russian territory, and expected they would co-operate with him; but their petty jealousies, and the demoralised state of their army, prevented Schamyl's anti- cipations being fulfilled; "and," as the Batoum corres- pondent says, " as he (Schamyl) found himself unsupported by the Turks, he has lately returned to his mountains. laden with Russian booty." Ismail Pacha, the governor of Erzeronm, was engaged m attempting to stop the disorders of the Zeybecks in the interior of Anatolia, and has cap- tured several of the leaders, and restored quiet in the immediate neighbourhood of his pachalik, " but not till the Zeybeks had murdered several French officers on their journey to Kars." The Russians have recently again withdrawn from Bayazid, and the communication with Persia is re-established. The cholera has broken out again in the south of Anatolia. THE KILLED AND WOrNDED AT ALMA.-A supple- ment to the London Gazette contains the: returns of the non-commissioned officers and rank and file killed and wounded at the battle of Alma. LIB RtrlxiG PessioN.—Since the news of the late victory has arrived, applications for admissions into the army have increased nearly tenfold. THE GUARDS.—The additional force will be sent out to-day. The regiments will supply about 340 men—the Scots Fusiliers, who lost so severely at the Alma, supply- ing the larger number. All the other regiments of the light divisions are prepared to send out a considerable number ; but the augmentation will be confined to sup- plying the want occasioned by the loss in the late engagement. NURSES FOR THE WOUNDED IN TURNEY.—MTS. Night- ingale, who has been for some time acting as superintend- ent of the Ladies' Hospital, in London, has undertaken to organize a staff of female nurses, who will at once proceed with her to Scutari, at the cost of the government, there to act under her directions in the English military hospital. Under a special arrangement with the Peninsula and and Oriental Company, a number of surgeons, and the staff of nurses organised by Mrs. Nightingale, will em- bark at Marseilles, on Friday next, on board the Vectis, and be conveyed by that vessel to Constantinople imme- diately after the delivery of the outward India mail at Malta. On ordinary occasions the Vectis and Valetta wait at Malta while the steamer from Southampton is engaged in transporting, the India mails and Passengers tram that place to Alexandria and back; but, as the distances be- tween Malta and Constantinople and Malta and Alexandria are nearly the same, it is expected that Vectis will reach Malta On her return from this special S:tvice in time to prevent any delay of the inward India mail, %•,-hilo by this arrangement the staff of surgeons and nurses will, in all probability, reach the scene of their labours on the 4th proximo, some days earlier than the passage could have been accomplished by any other available means. Tim WOUNDED SoLmgas.—At a committee of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel held on Friday, it was determined to call a special meeting of the society for this day (Tuesday), to consider the expediency of sending an additional number of clergymen to minister to our sick and wounded soldiers at the seat of war. This step has been taken with the full sanction and concur- rence of government, and it is very gratifying to add that one clergyman, a fellow of a college; at Oxford, has offered his gratuitous services for this warp of mercy. We are also informed that upwards of £lOO w'ats subscribed at the committee-table. Lord Blantyre, as soon as the news ofthelosses at Alma reached Edinburgh, placed the sum of I'2'oo' in the hands of Professors Simpson and Syme, for the purpose of send- ing out immedlmtely to Scutari or the Crimea, two or three surgeons to supplement the medical staff there. THE NEW LOYOLFLANGE CANNON.—The performance of one of the long range Lancaster guns, which/ has lately been mounted on the Arrow, and has been trying, its range at Sebastopol, has exceeded the most sanguine expectations. The first few shots fired by the Arrow, at three miles, the gun was too elevated, and the ball passed over the whole place. Afterwards the,range was precisely taken, and for three hours shot and shell were thrown into the nearest battery until it was completely destroyed. For the last half-hour of the firing, it never returned a shot. Bat this,. it appears, is by no meain• the sole merit of the gum It weakens the resources of Sebastopol still more rata* than by knocking up batteries. Under the natural belief that because their works were within range, the vesFel, which fired must be in range-slso, the Russians returned's; most tremendous fire, but every shot sank in the sea at about three-quarters of a mile- distance from the Arrow. Unless there are incredible stores of ammunition in Sebas-- topol, such a mode of fighting:must soon leave them with-- era a shot. LicfranousEs IN SHETLAND'FbII THE BALTIC FLEET. —ln consideration of the possilirlity of our fleets in the White Sea and the Baltic beingJikven towards the rugged shores of the Shetland Isles, the' government determined tO 'exhibit lights on the eastern and northern points of Midland. We are glad to be ablib-state that the Com- niiisiOners- of Northern Lighthouses.• have now succeeded in establishing these lights, whielf:are of a temporary description, in order to meet the emergency. Owing to the-remoteness of the situations araftlie necessarily short time-that could be devoted to the preparation of the lights, the ntinost exertion had to be used to bring the works to a snceessfiil issue before the close of-the preient season. The: lighthouse towers were made of logs of timber and rubble masonry, and the lanterns of iror;.and these, toge- therwith the- lighting apparatus and machinery, and the iron houses for the lightkeepers' dwellings, were all pre- paredand-fitited up in Leith and Edinburgh previously to being sent off: One of the stations on 'which a light has been exhibited is N'Vhalsey Skerries, the-nest eastern point of the Shetland- Islands, a dangerous outlying- cluster of rocks and ishinds, extending about 15 mak. from the main- land of—Shbtfand. But the other and more remarkable work is- the--North Uist Light, which is situated on an isolated rocky islet lying to the north-- of Shetland Isles, anti; with, the exception of a smairbutlying rock called the--" Ontstalk," the most northern-point of Her Majesty's &minions.

ORDERS TO' 1H ARMY BEFORE CO•N_AIEITCING SIEGE OPERATIONS. The order of the day prepared by the Allied Ghnerais on the evening of -October 3rd, regulating the, commence- ment of the siege,- was issued a few hours befol4e-the• des- patches left, and the-names of the first detachments at work could not'be ascertained. The entrenchments, how- ever, were opened with perfect success, not a s-hot.disturb- ing the men :. The trenchts-were.opened this evening against'-Sebasto- pol; a working party, consisting of—, furnished by the—, will beinarched to the engineers' depotfat—p.m., where they will' receive tools and directions from, the en- gineers' officers. and sappers, who will guide thtm• to the works ; they will be, without arms and accoutrements. The guard for the protection of the working and ground will consist furnished by —, and wit in their camp a 9- ps m., be conducted to their-positions, posted, and receive instructions from the staff offers, who willbeassemlaled"for the purpose. _ _ . . All the mcvements of the parties must be, .11 possible, kept out of theNiew of the place. _ _ _ After movintrftom their place of assembly,- which, will be after darl4 the utmost silence must terpreserred, and the least possible noise of any kind made. The working parties must be arranged in proper order by the engmeersi;lint will not commence work till ordered, after which it' must be carried on with th greatest energy. The engineers wilt be charged with the arrangements, but the officers of the troops must be responsible- for the maintenance of order and attention to the directions given by the engineers, and for the amount of work done; on diligence and.-Yegetar conduct of the workirt parties will depend more,rapid and complete success of the-enterprise. The working, parties must not quit the work on slight alarms. If the enemy make a sortie, the guard will ad- vance and drite them in, and before they reach the work, if possible;. abouhl the working party be-absolutely ob- liged to retire, they will take their tools with them, and re-form a zliert distance in rear to return tothe work when the sortie ie.repulsed. • The guarcrwilt be posted in rear of theworking party, and near to.it, if possible, under cover from the fire of the place;.:iftot, they must lie down in ,:order to battle, with accoutrements on, and each man- with his firelock close by him--one party not less than .one-third of the forces absolutely on the alert all through. the night, taking italternately, ready for an immediate rush on the enemy. A sortie is out and on the works in a very short time, therefore, the guard must be in immediate readiness to attack it without hesitation; nothing is so easily defeated as a sortie if charged without delay. Afterthe repulse of any sortie, the.guard will return under cover as soon as possible, ant resume their pdsition. All-working parties and guards .will be composed of entireregiments, or parts, and not,of detachments, made up of different corps. RAZAICLATA is a wonderful place, Nature, in one of her freaks, has endowed it with ,an- admirable little har- bour, deep enough to contain the largest man-of-war. The entrance is very narrow, and dominated by cliffs some 600 feet high. A little channel win ls to, the widest part of the, harbour, which is completely shut in on all sides by hills. The town appears to have-been thriving, as several houses and a church were in ,course of construction. A 'aery respectable quay runs along the water side, and here 'the Agamemnon, the Sans Pareikand some forty or fifty of our largest transports, ships and steamers, are safely moored. The magnificent Agamemnon lies the nearest in land, and 300 yards beyondberthe harbour terminates in a mud-puddle. A ruined:Genoese fort of large extent in olden times domineered theentrance to Balaklava ; but a small earth work was the only work of defence established by the Russians. The. latter have displayed a great. absence of foresight in not having rendered the entrance to the harbour, so indispensable to us, more formidable.. A single ship, artfully sunk, would apparently have ren, dered the entrance impossible.. The best houses in, the place are now occupied by the allied generals, or converted into offices for the necessary departments. The Adjutant-General occupies a pleasant house shaded by poplars. In the high street are Lord' Raglan's quarters, the various hospitals, and the. post- office. The Duke -of . Cambridge occupies a house outside the town. The bazaar is closed, but several of the tants have remained behind. I remarked one old gentle- man, whose constant occupation appeared to consist in walking up and-down:the street, and bowing most humbly to every officer,,or soldier who passed. The urbanity of manner and natural politeness of the British soldier are both well known, and the monotonous obeisances of the old gentleman-were rewarded by a patronising.nod, and a " Bono Johnny." Some of the:largest houses have been turned into. hos- pitals ; but I doubt if the air of the town. be healthy. Completely shut in by hills, scarcely a fresh breath of air can penetrate, and the water has a most. offensive smell. Outside of the town stands a village called Kadikoi, which possesses some large houses and a church, which might be employed without desecration in the charitable service of covering the sick. Having sent on. the greater-number of carts, laden with sick, to Balakiava, in order to return on the morrow with provisions from the commissariat ships, the 4th division quitted the direct road and took to that leading to Sebastopol. At Kadikoi lay the light division, and we encountered on our route,the•three other divisions and the cavalry, bivouacking on several heights. The _ _ first object on the road was a:little farm-house, skirted by a beautiful little vineyard. Being overpowered with thirst I forgot all prudence, and tasted here, for the first time, the Crimea grape. Imagine to yourselves, oh ! sober matter-of-fact people. at home, clusters of luscious blue transparent grapes, such as would honour even Chatsworth, and Lance would have delighted to pourtray. But imagine, also, tlae dark, dismal sentiment of remorse and dread which haunted me for hours after I had swal- lowed some half-a-dozen immense bunches. I could now understand with what delight and imprudence our soldiers actually gorge themselves with this delicious fruit, far the palate once excited craves, as in my instance, to be satiated. By the farm-house a beehive was discovered, and after a little hesitation, one heroic individual dashed at it, and completely knocked it to pieces. Like many other great men, this praiseworthy gentleman failed to reap the ad- vantage of his energy, for the insulted bees attacked him with such fury, that, abandoning his prey, he rushed from , the spot, pathetically exclaiming Murder ! Murder !" The hive was, however, soon emptied of its store by the baggage guards, who miraculously contrived to hold in each hand an immense block of honeycomb, without letting fall their firelocks, or dropping the dignity of the British soldier. The savage bees, instead of attacking the proper crimi- nals, very absurdly darted at the inoffensive pack-horses, who certainly exhibited an energy for which they had hitherto received no credit. Two miles below the spot where the fourth division bivouacked stood calmly the town, to reach which Eng- land has spilt some of her best blood I but at this inspir- ing sight officer and soldier forgot the fatigue, si,zkness, and prlvation which had, befall oftmon lot. THE KILLED AND WOUNDED DURING THE LONG WAR TITS following table of killed and wounded in the battles of the long waf, frgm 1793 to 1815, on land and sea, is interesting enough for republication. It will be seen that the greatest loss, in killed, was at the battle of Waterloo, next to that affair the battles of Albuera, Badajoz, Tala- vera, St. Sebastian, Pyrenees, Vittoria, and the expedition to New Orleans. At all the other great actions of the war the loss was less than that at the battle of the Alma. The greatest loss in any naval action was at Trafalgar, where 21 officers and 428 men were WS d.

TOWNSHIP OF BIRKENHEAD, YESTERDAY, Matthew Gaunt, Esq., the barrister appointed to revise the list of voters for the Southern Division of Cheshire, held a court at the Town-hall, Bir- kenhead, for the purpose of revising the list of voters whose qualifications arise out oft property within the township of Birkenhead. Mr. Bremner, solicitor, instructed by Mr. Jeukin, of Birkenhead, appeared for the Conservatives, and Mr. Bretherton, solicitor, for the Radicals. There were 93 laims altogether, and 57 objections, including the objections made to new claims. The Con- servatives made 24 claims, and the Radicals 28 (new claims). The objections made by the Radicals were 14. The Conservatives only made one objection, in addition to the objections to the new Radical claims before alluded to, and that was to Mr. Edward Cardwell, M.P., which, as will be seen, from what is stated below, was afterwards withdrawn. The list of claims were first gone through, and were all allowed, with the exception of a claim made by Mr.Edwd. Greenwood Kaye, which was struck out in consequence of the residence of the claimant not being in accordance with the Act of Parliament. After the list of claims had been gone through, the objections were proceeded with. Mr. Bretherton, on the part of the Radicals, objected to Messrs. Jas. Bourne, Raymond W. Houghton, Samuel Holme, James Holme, John Buck Lloyd, Francis Shand, Thos. Headlam Duckworth, Thos. Sands, John Abraham Tinnie, and Charles Turner, whose names appeared on the register as the joint owners of a house in Camden-street, Birkenhead. Mr. Tinnie was present to answer the objection on behalf of all these gentlemen. He was examined at some length by Mr. Bretherton, with the view of showing that the nett rental arising from the property did not amount to forty shillings a-year each; but Mr. Tinnie showed that it amounted to much more, the annual rent of the property being £4O, out of which the ordinary deduction only had to be made. The Revisingßanister, on hearing Mr. Tinnie's evidence, overruled the objection, and retained all the votes. • Mr. Tinnie here stated to the court that he noticed Mr. Edward Cardwell was objected to as owner of a house in Camden-street. He (Mr. Tinnie) was ready to appear for him.
