INCENDIABISM IN MArrcinsTEß.—Attempts to fire warehouses continue in Manchester ; and on Monday morning a bunch of Congreve matches was found to have been ignited and pushed under the door of Mr. William Evans, drysalter, Deansgate, but not coming in contact with other combustible matter, they had been burnt out after the composition at the ends had been consumed. A similar attempt is said to have been made at another warehouse during the previous Saturday night or Sunday, without serious consequences. HEALTH OF THE TOWN.—The medical officer of health reports a further decrease in the mortality of the borough, in consequence of the progressive decline of epidemic cholera. The deaths registered in the last week were 283, being 53 less than in the previous week. The deaths from cholera fell from 95 in the previous week to 59 last week. In the last four weeks the deaths have been suc- cessively 270, 171, 95, 59. Of the deaths last week 49 were in the parish, viz., in Scotland ward, 15 ; Great Gec&ge, 5 ; Vauxhall, 4; St. Anne's, 4 ; St. Peter's, 4 ; Pitt-street, 3 ; Exchange, 2 ; St. Paul's, 1; Castle-street, 1; Rodney-street, 1, (residence not stated ;) Workhouse Hospital, 9. Of the 10 deaths in the out-townships, 3 were in Kirkdale, 1 in West Derby, 2 in North Toxteth, and 4in South Toxteth. From diarrhoea there were 29 deaths, against 42 in the previous week. The deaths from the other principal zymotics included 13 from typhus, 11 from scarlatina, 5 from small pox, and 4 from measles. THE PATRIOTIC FUND.—On Wednesday List John Buck Lloyd, Esq., the mayor, called a preliminary meeting, in the Town-hall, for the purpose of considering the best means of carrying out the objects contemplated in the royal commission, issued to raise a fund for the relief of the widows and orphans of the soldiers who have fallen in the battle of Alma. Among those present were—Mr. Mansfield, the stipendiary magistrate ; Messrs. Hugh Hornby, George Grant, R. E. Harvey, F. Hamilton, S. Holme, Adam Hodgson, Thomas Bolton, J. Eden, C. S. Parker, T. D. Anderson, C. Cotesworth, T. E. Moss, H. Neill, T. Baines, William Brown, Esq., M.P. ; Major Bourne, Colonel Derinzy, Colonel Swan, the Rev. J. R. cionor, and the Rev. C. Lawrence. His Worship explained that he had called the meeting in his capacity of commis- sioner, having, as chief magistrate of Liverpool, been named in the royal commission. His object was to ascer- tain what, in the opinion of the meeting, would be the best mode of giving effect to the very general desire entertained of, so far as that could be done, endeavouring to assuage the sorrows of those who had been bereft of their natural stay, in supporting the honour of the coun- try. A desire to participate in this duty, he felt assured, was felt by all classes and every individual in Liverpool, and that was sufficiently attested by their liberal contri- bution of £2OOO to the fund for relief of the wives and families of those soldiers who were sent to Turkey. He also read a letter which, as mayor of Liverpool, he had received from Sir Robert Peel, requesting co-operation in an endeavour to send surgical aid and sick nurses to the wounded and sick soldiers in hospital on the Bosphorus ; but stating that the two funds were entirely distinct. After some conversation, in which several gentlemen pre- sent took part, it was resolved that the proper mode of carrying out the objects of the royal commission would be by calling a town's meeting for an early day ; the meeting to be held in St. George's-hall. In accordance with a wish then generally expressed, the Mayor has con- vened a public meeting, to be held on Friday next, at noon, in St. George's-hall, for the purpose of adopting measures for carrying out the intentions of the Royal Commission. The meeting will have additional interest as being the first held in the magnificent hall which has been so recently inaugurated. HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE. —The sixth annual meeting of this society was held on ;Wednesday, at the Lyceum, Thomas Moore, Esq., in the chair. The report congratulated the society on the suc- cess which had attended it during the past year. The collection of books and objects had been largely increased, and an interesting volume was issued to the members in August. The report stated the steps taken by the society respecting the proposed union of the learned societies of the town, which had not been carried into effect. Since the 30th of August upwards of eighty members had been enrolled without entrance-fee, and the society now num- bered 410. The operations of the year were closed by a soiree to the members of the British Association, at which the Faussett collection of Anglo-Saxon antiquities was exhibited and described. The report was adopted. The treasurer's statement showed a balance in hand of £97 10s. 11d. after the payment of every claim. A ballot was then taken for the council and officers for the ensuing season, the result of which was that the Earl of Sefton was elected president, and Sir Edward Cust, Archdeacon Brooks, and Dr. Thom, vice-presidents. STEA.M TO CONSTANTINOPLE.—A letter from Malta, October 12, in the Daily News, says :—The screw-boats from Liverpool to Constantinople are deservedly getting into high favour, although, at the same time, some un- pleasantness has lately taken place on board, which, with- out any blame to the proprietors or captain, may damage the company. In one case, some females, poor but re- spectable, applied for a second-class place in Liverpool, but could not be taken. They then paid first-class ; but, on the representation of another female on board, they were not permitted to come to the cabin table, on the plea that they were not of rank such as the female complain- ant was in the habit of meeting, though they paid the same fare that the objector did, and conducted themselves in every way in a creditable manner. The captain sub- mitted, but showed by his manner how much he felt annoyed. The difference of fare ought to be repaid to the ill-used passengers. Another case lately was this :—A young lady passenger was persecuted by some `honourable' officers proceeding to the army, and applied to friends for protection, at the same time speaking in the highest terms of the captain's kindness and very gentlemanly bearing. It is to be hoped that the directors will take measures to punish those passengers—military or other—who conduct themselves so badly." THE LANCASHIRE MILITIA.—An interesting scene was witnessed on Saturday week, in Cambridge barracks, Portsmouth, the quarters of the Ist Royal LancesNo Militia. They were called out into the square by thTir colonel-commandant (Talbot Clifton, Esq., late of the Ist Life Guards), who asked them what would be their decision should the government require their services in the Mediterranean or any other station. The reply was, as one shout—a spontaneous rejoinder—that they would prefer their colonel leading them at once to the field of battle in the East, and they were ready and willing to follow their officers wherever they would lead them. All the officers, with similar enthusiasm, expressed a similar determination. The regiment then gave their gallant colonel several rounds of vociferous cheers, three for their officers, and three more for Mrs. Clifton, their colonel's wife. The latter demonstration may be well accounted for by the warm interest Mrs. Clifton has always taken in the comfort and welfare of the regiment, which is not con- fined to them alone, but to their wives and children, the whole of whom she has just supplied with a valuable equipment of good winter clothing. A SUSPICIOUS CASE. On Sunday evening week Greenfield-house, Wavertree, the residence of Mr. Evans, wholesale druggist, of this town, was broken into, and a considerable quantity of property, consisting princi- pally of jewellery, was stolen. Mr. Evans, with his family and servants, except the nurse and a little girl, had gone to church, and shortly after some person knocked at the door, and the servant attended. Upon her return to the little girl, she told her that it was " one of the men" who had been at the door. Soon after the girl heard a noise down stairs, when she called to the servant ; but as the latter did not come to her, she went down stairs, and found that the house had been robbed, and that the thieves hid decamped with the pro- perty. The servant states that when she was coming down stairs from the child's bedroom; she was met on the stairs by three armed men, who threatened to murder her if she made the least alarm, and locked her in a back room until they had secured their booty, when they re- leased her ; and, after repeating their threat, made off with the spoil. An examination of the premises, however, leaves no doubt that the thieves were admitted into the house by some one from the interior, as the windows were all closed and the doors all fastened on the inside. The servant was taken- into custody by Inspector Bates, and she was subsequently brought before the county magis- trates at Prescot, and remanded for further inquiry, none of the missing property having yet been traced. ST. CIIHTSOSTOM'S CIIIIRCH, EVERTON. - Mr. Rush- worth, of this town, is erecting a fine organ in St. Chry- sostom's new church, Everton. The compass of the in- strument is from CC to Fin alt. It will contain 20 stops in addition to the pedals and couplers ; and, although having only two rows of keys, it will embrace, by a pecu- liar selection of the stops, a great, choir, and swell organ. There will be 30 pedal keys, from composition pedals, and a double swell box. There are some clever contrivances in the coupling movements, connected both with the pedal pipes and the key action, of the builder's own invention. The stops have been well selected, and great taste dis- played in the voicing, more particularly as regards the light stops. The pedal pipes, also, are on a grand scale. The pedal stand-board is altogether on a new principle, one of its great advantages being that, with considerably less action than ij required in existing instruments, the same musical effect is produced. There is also another new feature introduced, viz., what are called concussion valves, These are on au entirely new principle. Their object is to equalise the wind in the instrument, so that no one portion of the instrument shall be robbed of its ne- cessary power in this respect. The organ will stand in a recess on the north side of the chancel. It is expected that the opening will take place on Sunday week.—Journal. LANCASHIRE INSURANCE COMPANY.—The second an- nual meeting was held on Thursday, at the Albion Hotel, Manchester, Mr. Nicholas Heald in the chair. Mr. Ken- nedy, the manager, read the annual report. The chairman said that during the past year they had had an increased amount of business. With respect to the accounts, the increase was really greater than it appeared from the report, as the first year embraced five quarters, and this year only four. Therefore, the real increase was more than £B,OOO. Daring the past year there had been many circumstances affecting trade, but still the business of the company had been satisfactory. They maintained their capital intact, and had written off £l,OOO from the preli- minary expense account. The premiums for the first three months of this year were £7,617 2s. 9d, and the losses about £1,600. If they continued to go on at this rate, they would have a different account to give next year. They had, however, scarcely had that support from their shareholders which they anticipated, although the list embraced gentlemen or influence, representing more ca- pital than any list that could be produced before a body of shareholders. The report, was then adopted. Four of the retiring directors named in the report were re-elected, and four new directors elected in the place of those who retired The auditors were also re-elected. Votes of thanks were Dyed to the London, Liverpool, and West Scotland boards id their respective secretaries, from whom valuable assist- anee had been received. A similar compliment was also paid to Mr. Kennedy, the manager, and also to the direc- tors. The sum of £l,OOO Was voted. to the directors for their services. LETTERS have been received from Captain W. Campbell, 23.1 Welsh Fusiliers, dated Scutari, 9th Octo- ber, to the effect that the ball had been extracted, and that he was doing well. The CITY OF MA.NCIIESTER steam-ship, Capt. Wylie, sailed on Wednesday, for Philadelphia, with 400 passengers. EARLY CLosntG.—The wine and spirit merchants of this town have, with a very few exceptions, agreed to close their establishments at three o'clock in the afternoon on Saturdays: _ _ A VAST gram.= of medical stores and comforts for the wounded at Alma was taken out of the Tower stores last week, and forwarded to Liverpool, for immediate con- veyance to the head-quarters of the medical department. Among the articles sent out are a number of woollen serge gowns and trousers for the use of the convalescent. LIVERPOOL ACIDE3IY.—The exhibition of the Liver- pool Academy will, on and after Monday next, be open in the evenings, the rooms being brilliantly illuminated with gas. This will be a great accommodation to parties whose business avocations prevent them from visiting the exhi- bition during the day. ARCHITECTURAL AND ARCHZOLOGICAL SOCIETY.— The second meeting for the season took place in the Royal Institution, on Wednesday, Mr. Frank Howard in the chair. The business consisted in the reading of a paper entitled " A Vindication of thillko-called Renaisance," by Mr. Leeds of London, in which the Greek and Roman schools of architecture were dealirwith in a very interest- ing manner. SHIPWRECIC.—On Friday, at 7 30 a.m., the Brig Enter- prise, of Exeter, went ashore on West Hoyle Bank, and in the course of an hour capsised and sank. The life-boats from the nearest station were early in attendance to render assistance, but the crew had previously abandoned the brig in their boat, and landed safely at the Dee. The enterprise was on her voyage from Teignmouth to Liver- pool with a cargo of clay. EFFECTS OF THE Sronx.—On Thursday morning, a large tree which, with two others, has stood for many years on the north side of West Derby-street, a short distance above the top of Pembroke-place, was suddenly blown down by a violent gust of wind during the violence of the storm. It was snapped off near the trunk, and fell across the road. No one was passing at the time. EMIGRATION TO VAN DIE N's LAND.—The owners of the Black Ball Line of Packets are extending their business, benefiting their country, our colonies, and them- selves, by adding to their famous Australian fleet a mag- nificent line of vessels which, under the auspices of the government of the colony, will convey emigrants from this country to Van Diemen's Land, on the bounty system. The first vessel placed on the line will be the celebrated clipper Lightning, Capt. Neill, which will sail hence direct for Hobart Town. ROBBERY AT THB PRINCE'S DOCK DEPOT.—On Mon- day night, last week, some thieves broke into the Customs depot, at the Prince's Dock, where a portion of the cargo of the Red Jacket had been placed. They effected their entrance through the roof of the building, and evidently anticipated finding a prize, but were disappointed, as the Red • Jacket's gold had been deposited elsewhere. The thieves ransacked all the packages, but took only a case of pistols and a pair of trousers. _ _ Acnnom.aixsx.—Ross, who gained the council medal at the Great Exhibition, has succeeded in making for the microscope a most powerful achromatic object glass of enormous angular aperture; the result is intense illumi- nation. with accurate and beautiful definition, when ap- plied to the most severe test objects. -This wonderful production has been purchased by Dr. Fisher. Tux BATTLE or ALMA.—Avery intelligibly constructed plan of the ground and disposition of the Allied and Rus- sian armies, prior and subsequent to the battle of Alma, has been published by Mr. Wyld, geographer to her Ma- jesty. It conveys a vivid idea of the position from which the Russians were driven by the well-concerted operations of the Allies, and also of the masterly disposition they were enabled to assume subsequent to the battle. It is well executed in all respects. _ REFUSAL 01, k RATE.—A meeting of the parishioners of Prescot was held on Wednesday, for the purpose of making a rate for the repairs of the parish church. A rate of three farthings in the pound having been proposed, it was moved as au amendment that the meeting be adjourned to that day twelve mouths, and, on a show of hands, the chairman declared that the amend- ment was carried. A poll was then demanded, which closed on Saturday. PATRIOTIC FUND.—A meeting was held in the Council Chamber, Warrington, on Tuesday, in order to consider the course to be adopted in reference to the Patriotic Fund. The Mayor presided ; and after some observations from Mr. Wilson Patten, the Rev. Mr. Quekett, the rector, and others, it was resolved to open a subscription, and to request the Mayor to convene a public meeting. The meeting then terminated, but a subscription list was first prepared, and an amount of nearly £2OO was sub- scribed by the gentlemen present. Since then a requisition was presented, and the Mayor convened a public meeting for yesterday (Monday). TESTIMONIAL.—The teachers of Christ Church Sunday Schools have just presented their late curate, the Rev. John Marland, 8.A., with a timepiece, beautifully exe- cuted in bronze, and a pocket communion service, as a slight token of their esteem and regard, and as an acknow- ledgment of his active labours amongst them during a period of three years and a half. - Loss OF A caw STBA.3IBIIIP.—The ship Francisco, from Falmouth, arrived in the Mersey on Sunday, having on board the captain, crew, and one passenger of the screw steamship Sicily, which was abandoned on the 17th instant, in lat. 60, lon. 8 20, after having sprung a leak. The captain of the Sicily speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of the captain and crew of the Francisco, which vessel, on perceiving the signals of distress, bore down and lay by the sinking vessel for six hours. The unfortunate steamer, which sailed under the Spanish flag, was on the voyage from Palermo, which port she left on the 27th of September. ADMIRALTY CoußT.—Two prize questions were de- cided by Dr. Lushington, on Wednesday. One of them related to the Christine, a vessel seized at Liverpool by the custom-house officers.. The master, a native of Lubeck, claimed its restitution on the ground that it was his pro- perty. He acknowledged, howevever, that he had bought the ship of a firm at Riga, and that he had paid no part of the purchase-money. The Queen's advocate and Dr. Phillimore demanded the condemnation of the ship, on the ground that the alleged purchase was, on the master's own showing, a mere inchoate transaction. Dr. Addams asked for leave to give further proof. Dr. Lush- ington pronounced for the condemnation. OMNIBUS CADS.—At the Police-court, on Saturday, Benjamin Evans and John Patterson were charged with threatening to assault a man named Beattie, the guard of one of Gates and Dolby's dock omnibuses, unless he resigned his situation. A boy named Macdonald, about thirteen years of age, appeared to answer a summons for the same offence. The two elder prisoners had been con- ductors of dock omnibuses, but on the proprietors placing an inspector over them, to see that they honestly ac- counted for the receipts, they "struck," and because the complainant refused to follow their example, they had continually annoyed and threatened him. Evans and Patterson were sent to prison for a month, and Macdon- ald for seven days. FIRE IN THOMAS-STREET.— On Tuesday night, a con- flagration broke out in a kiln used for drying damaged cotton, in Finney-lane, Thomas-street, between South John-street and Paradise-street. From the inflammable nature of the cotton, which was lying loose in the kiln, the flames rapidly enveloped the building, and spread con- sternation amongst the inmates of the adjoining houses, many of whom threw their furniture out of the windows into the streets. Mr. Hewitt and the fire brigade were in im- mediate attendance, and succeeded in a short time in ex- tinguishing the fire. The West of England brigade were also in attendance. THE AFFAIRS OF Mn. OLIVER continue to engross a considerable share of public attention, and necessarily so, for the magnitude of the sum involved by his failure is almost without parallel, and we are now happy to an- nounce that the creditors of upwards of six-sevenths of the amount of his liabilities have signed the trust-deed, so that the carrying of it out may be considered as certain, and, also, that the most satisfactory arrangements will be made in regard to all parties interested. During the week one or two difficulties presented themselves, but the good sense and better feeling of the opposing parties aided in removing them when fairly acquainted with all the bearings of the case. The London bankers and discount- houses, after a full explanation with the trustees, signed the deed without hesitation, and everything is now pro- gressing so favourably that we believe a meeting of all the creditors will be convened in a few days, probably towards the end of the ensuing week, when a full, and, no doubt, under the circumstances, satisfactory statement will be laid before them, together with a plan for realizing the assets with as little loss and delay as possible.—Albion. SCENE IN 'WIGAN CHURCH.—On Sunday evening last week, previously to the commencement of divine service, this noble edifice was the scene of a disgraceful outrage. It appears that some time since a legal gentleman ob- tained permission to occupy a seat in the middle aisle which is not used by its owner, of which permission he has availed himself. During last week a medical gen- tleman wishing to obtain a sitting amongst the Rite of the congregation, sought and received the like privilege in conjunction with the other. But not content with this, he sought to monopolise the whole. The lawyer, on seek- ing his accustomed seat on Sunday evening, to his great astonishment found his entrance prevented by a barricade, composed of the umbrella, legs, &c., forming the personals of the surgeon, and which were perseveringly retained in their position, in spite of the first friendly and then legal expostulations of the gentleman so excluded ; and, in fact, were not removed until a member of the congregation— roused by a scene so diametrically opposed to the general solemnity which characterises the frequenters of the church, and likewise by the cries of " shame" which forced themselves from others near the belligerent parties —succeeded in arranging a truce, which compelled the disputants, side by side, to unite their responses to the service. We trust that the general indignation so justly excited in the town by such a desecration of the sacred edifice will prove a sufficient protection against a repeti- tion of this fracas.—Mercury. SPLENDID COLLECTION Or MOSAICS, ORNAMENTAL FURNITURE, AND ARTICLES OP VERTU.—To morrow, Thursday, and Friday, Mr. B.ra?ich will offer for sale by public competition, at his rs,* , 41.tIanover-street, an ex- tensive and beautiful collecti4 i:'. and tasteful furni- ture, and articles of vertu, such - Tarely to be met with even in the metropolis. Ladies.' and gentlemen of culti- vated taste will find this collection well worthy of atten- tion. The articles which, sorted into nearly 600 lots, fill three or four of Mr. Branch's largest rooms, consist of Florentine Mosaic, buhl, marqueterie, and carved oak or- namental furniture, adapted to houses being furnished in the ancient and modern styles ; royal -Sevres, Dresden, .. , and Oriental china, magnificent pieces of Gobelin tapestry, ancient arms, a matchless collection of antique and mo- lern bronzes and statuary, elegant clocks, and brackets, in ormulu, bronze, and buhl, candelabra, cabinet paintings; sified assortment qi articles, of rarity. The Florentine bronzes are particularly fine, and far surpass any previously seen in Liverpool, while the French furniture inlaid With marbles, coloured woods, and metal, finished in the highest The oakinTilicure7;lllZisqiiite a contrast to the klitter- ing productions, of the modern French cabinet-makers, is beautifully carved, of massive proportions, and ad- mirably suited for libraries and halls.

As to the expected reinforce- ments, they may perhaps be ranked among the fictions which have hitherto upheld the power of Russia, and imposed on the fears or credulity of her opponents. Bodies of men may, indeed, be marched into the Crimea, and the reckless policy of the Czar and his predecessors has never scrupled to sacrifice a large part of any force in order to insure the arrival of the rest on the scene of action ; but the march from Odessa through Perekop to Sebastopol may be too hazardous for the boldest or the most unfeeling General. Before passing the isthmus large numbers must be disabled by fatigue, and between Perekop and Simpheropol there must be a march of many days without a drop of water. The state in „which the recent levies arrived is sufficient to show what must be the difficulties of such a transit, and when the strongest place of the peninsula is in the hands of the allies, and the possibility of retreat endangered, we have reason to believe that it will not be attempted.

We have a few parcels of Wheat, Oats, and Oatmeal, fresh in from Ireland, and a good quantity of Indian Corn fresh in from America. with which exceptions, our arrivals have been little added to since Friday last. The exports of the Week are only moderate for Wheat and Flour, but for Indian Corn fair in amount. The market to-day was well attended, and supplies ls. eina• scarce, prices advanced considerably, Wheat being to is. 6d. per 701 b., and Flour ss. per barrel above the rates of this day week.

Alderman Toulmin, in moving the second resolution said he felt some delicacy in coming forward, but as his vote had been transferred from Pitt-strut to Great George Ward, he was, perhaps, in his proper place among them. The gentleman he was about to propose he had known many years, and he possessed every essential qualification for a most efficient representative. He meant Mr. James Mark Wood, who had represented West Derby Ward for three years, and who he was sure would give satisfaction to every elector. Mr. Stubsb seconded the motion. Mr. Bland supported the motion, having known Mr. Wood many years, and believing him to be iu every respect eminently qualified for the office. The resolution was carried by acclamation. _ _ Mr. Wood was then introduced to the meeting, and he proceeded to address them. He said he had consented to stand for the remainder of the term, rendered vacant by the retirement of Mr. 31`Nicoll. One of the most im- portant questions to be brought forward would be the Town Dues, which realised £lOO,OOO a-year, and out of which many great improvements had been carried out. He declared himself in favour of preserving them as far as lay in his power. As a merchant and ship-owner, of twenty-five years' stannding, he was well acquainted with the town, and knew something of the proceedings of the Town Council. With reference to the scheme of dock extension, the Wapping Dock would soon be open, and he thought their present docks should be made fully available before laying out so large a sum as two or three millions. (Loud cheers.) Mr. M`Kinley moved the third resolution pledging the meeting to use their best exertions to secure Mr. Wood's return, but he did not think any one was hardy enough to attempt an opposition ; but if they should have a contest, they were prepared to meet it. Mr. Thomson had much pleasure in seconding the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Gibson, the honorary secretary, said that he had had much pleasure in getting up a requisition to their worthy representative, Mr. Wagstaff, and enrolling the list of signatures, which was several yards in length. He said he was sure Mr. Wagstaff would accept it as a testimony of the opinion entertained of him by his constituents, and the certainty of his re-election on the present occasion. Mr. Wagstaff, in acknowledging the compliment. said, that although he had represented them six years, he felt some little anxiety on the approach of November ; but the splendid requisition before him dispelled all his doubts. He entered into some particulars with reference to the baths and wash-houses, and also to the labours of the Edu- cation Committee, in both of which he had taken great interest. He thought the electors would do well in re- turning Mr. Wood as his colleague, and he was sure his services would give satisfaction to every burgess in the ward. He most cordially accepted the requisition. (Loud cheers.) It was then moved by Mr. Stubbs, and seconded by Mr. M`lieverigan, that Mr. Wagstaff be re-elected, and the mo- tion was carried by acclamation. Mr. Wood moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was seconded by Mr. Wagstaff, and, having been duly acknowledged, the meeting separated. Ist March, 1854, amounted to £B3B 19s. id., being £l4 16s. 4d. less than the previous year ; that the local missionary, the Rev. Mr Hirsch, still continued his labours amongst the Jews in the town ; that within the year upwards of 120 Jews had sought a personal intervim with him ; that one young man had been admitted to baptism, and there were five others under particular instructions ; that the Rev. F. Parry felt obliged to re- sign the office of Secretary, the duties of which he had so long and so well discharged, but that the committee con- tinned to have the benefit of his advice and assist Ar ce as a member of the committee. Referring to the ope a- tions of the Parent Society, the report stated that there were 33 stations occupied in different parts of the world, at which there were 25 ordained and 36 unordained minis- ters, 20 colporteurs, which, with other assistants, Wade a total of 98 agents, who were seeking the lost sheep of the House of Israel. 51, or more than one-half of these, were converted Jews, of whom 13 were ordained ministers of the gospel. From the financial report of the Parent Society, the income for the past year amounted to £31,644 18s., being an increase of £4,092 Bs. 7d. (Cheers.) The Rev. F. PARRY, in rising to propose the first resolution, expressed the pleasure he felt in discharging so agreeable a duty. The resolution was one which would recommend itself to the meeting, proposing, as it did, that the report should be printed and circulated. It was as follows : That the report which has been read be adopted and printed under the direction of the committee for the ensuing ear." Considering the satisfactory nature of the resolution, it appeared to him doubtful whether he should say anything farther in its favour. Still, as he was led by circumstances to fear that the objects of the society had rather fallen off in the number of its supporters, although in looking at the present meeting, and considering the state of the wea- ther, no such evidence was afforded here. On the contrary, he saw much to animate them, as St. Panl was animated when he landed in Italy. " Thank God and take heart." He trusted the objects of this society were such as would meet the cordial feeling and warm sympathy of ever Christian community. Its objects were in accordant with the commands of the Saviour himself, who con manded His disciples that they should, in the first in- stance, teach the gospel at Jerusalem. That command was still unrepealed. Its purport is that the gospel shall _ be preached to the Jews first, and next to the Greeks. To argue that the Jews are not entitled to our sympathy and best efforts can only be justified on the ground that the Jews have not souls to be saved, or because they are men who have no sin to be pardoned. Some, no doubt, he was fully aware, were of opinion that every effort of _ _

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 leaxned3from so, intelligent and trustworthy, a prisoner,- he was- accordingly carried off to the camp, where he wilt be treated with, kindness in return for as much informa- tion ashe ran: be induced to communicate., As- the 95th Regiment was advancing, .a wounded, Russian was-calling piteously for water, when poor Captain Eddir.gton,.wliose 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; he: carried in case he should himself be wounded. This revived, the wounded man, and poor. Eddington. ran fbrward to join his company, when the wretch who had jp.4 been. restored by his charity ft..-,ecl at. and shot him, I* • best friend.

Lieutenant Eddington, who was in„the. same regiment, and close to him, that he, in perferMillg desPerate;deeds of daring,,also fell, dearly selling his .life in avenging the deathof his gallant brother. The; two poor fellows were most affectionate brothers ; they fell: together, and two better soldiers or braver hearts nsyer. wore, the cloth.. The transports which carried the heavy cavalry to. the Crimea have met with a succession .of gales which fully justify the fears of those who recommended caution in navigating the Black Sea at the pealed of the equinox. A transport has arrived in Buialgiere-bay, which tells a dismal tale. She carried a portion of the Royals and 130 horses, and was towed by the PArnla. A gale came on when she was about half-wayon 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 vkdent was the motion, that the upper deck gave way, and, the horses above were precipi- tated on those below. A...scene followed such as has been seldom witnessed. The homes 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, conclusion 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,he,ad foremost andwas completely under water for some seconds. The colonel never dismounted all day, though the. other mounted offieers 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 el>ow, 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 inantry officer, in a letter to his friends in SL Petersburg, writes :—" The battle (of the Al,ma) was discontinued on our side solely because oar 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 Mini 6 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 TUE. CRIMEA.—A 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 prince by some), and asked his serene highness how he fared during the rough hours of the night,—he an- mend, ' Why, as well as j could; we got the brushwee4 OCTOI3tI/, 24, 1854. loaf ° and heaped it together for a bed, and then Do treat' cloaks round us tightly, but at the best it 105 Ile-e 105 He is a fine, manly character, and in nil innc'cen al about calling him Captain Prince—Court Avg

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. 40 - FRANCE.—The funeral of Marshal St. Arnaud has been the event of the week, in Paris ; although, according to the accounts transmitted by the London daily journals, the Parisians did not show that respectful interest on the oc- casion which a stranger might have expected to see dis- played. The appearance of the streets and boulevards through which the procession was to pass indicated rather ante than the funeral of one whose death, particularly at such a moment, must be accounted a national loss. Amongst the English officers present were General Sir Harry Smith, and his aides-de-camp, Colonels Taylor and Holditch, sent especially by the Queen • and Lord Arthur Hay, aide- de-camp to Lord Hardinge. The decorations of the chapel included scrolls containing the names of thebattles in which the marshal had taken part, Alma of course holding the most conspicuous place. The African engage- ments mentioned were 3ledeah, Thaza, Boghar, Ouarem. zeris, Djidjelli, Bougia, Teniah, Tagedempt, and Little Kabylia.—One of those pieces of personal gossip which, from the public character of the persons concerned, occa- sionally rise into general importance, has been agitating Paris lately. Mad'lle Cruvelli, the delightful prima donna, has thrown up her lucrative engagement suddenly and without legal warrant; so that her personal property has been seized to make good the loss which the directorship of the Opera will sustain by her neglect of duty. Several reasons, more or less reasonable, were conjectured for her capricious act. The favourite idea was that she had been offended by her name not being given in the bills en vi- detie ; though a few tongues boldly accused the fair can- tatrir of yielding to a large sum, to visit America. The true motive, which has now been discovered, is a more feminine one. It seems that, at the same' time with Mad'lle Cruvelli, and to all appearance at the same mo- ment, has also disappeared the young Baron Vigier, a well-known Parisian; and it is said that the happy couple are now safely ensconced in that terrestrial paradise, Brus- sels. The wonder is, why they should have run away from Paris, that being the place which over-ardent lovers gene- rally run to. The-reason alleged is this :—The baron, is a mere youth—considerably younger, indeed, than the-lady —and they have- gone to Brussels for the purpose of making their unman indissoluble. The young man has-inx immense fortune.. DENScLuK.—On, Saturday, the 14th, the great moticti in the Danish Parliament came• to a second and a final reading. The proceedings began at one o'clock, and ended' at half-past five, wheasufter various votings as to details; the whole motion—" That the Commons House do appoint a committee of nine todraw up articles of impeachnient against the Ministry, grounded:on. their issuing the ordi- nance. of July 26, 1854, and' on- their infractions of the budget"—was carried by theimmense majority of 80 to 6. Thirteen were absent, mos/ of whom had previously voted for the principle of the resolution.- On Monday the Danish- Commons finally approved of the address to the King. They renew the demandifor a free Constitution in the whole. State; as in Denmark-1 The- revolutionary act of July is entirely ignored. The address was adopted by 90 to T.- Ausratx..—An official announcement in the Wiener Zeitung delicately intimates that the youthful Empress is in a condition which gives the hope•of an heir to the throne of Austria. The Silesian Mrette'says, that in an audience given by the Emperor of Austria to the French Ambassador on the 19th ult., his Majesty declared that his resolutions-on' the Eastern question would not be in- fluenced by the results of the expecMorr to the Crimea, whatever they might be, but by a sense of:what was due to German interests. They were, he said; fixed resolu- tions, and he gave his word of honour-that he would maintain them. RUSSIA.—A letter from Hamburg, of tire.-13th, says:— "We have to-day letters from St. Petersburg! to the 7th. The approach of winter was already perceptible, and it was feared that the-navigation of the Neva would soon be interrupted. Men's minds in the Russian, capital were much occupied with the events of the war.. Military pre- parations, and the arrivals and departures o€•-troops con- firmed to take place on a vast scale. The trains on the Moscow railway are-constantly encumbered with all sorts of military articles and with detachments orsoldiers to form part of the array of reserve; assembled in trat ancient capital of the Empire.. Strong doubts were entertained of the Emperor absenting himself from St. Petersburg at the present critical moment, and although preparations have been made for a journey to the army of Poland, the realisation of that project appears to depend on the even- tualities of the war in the East. As to the movements of troops towards Poland, they may be summed np in a few words. The Imperial Guards, under the command of the Grand Duke, heir to the throne, are proceeding i-r-foreed marches from St. Petersburg to that kingdom, whilst the different divisions of the Russian troops, which were sta- tioned in Poland sincethe commencement of the war, are being directed from various sides towards the Austrian frontiers of Cracow and of' Gallicia, where they are tstab- fishing themselves in two fortified camps." NEw ZEALAND.—On the 9th of June an address to the acting Governor (Colonel Wynyard,) was agreed •to-iii the House of Representatives by a majority of 29 to 1, pray- ing his Excellency to adopt and act upon the principle of ministerial responsibility in the government of the colony. To this address the Governor returned a most favourable answer, immediately "sent for" Mr. Fitzgerald, who had been selected by the House to move the address, and'com- missioned him to "forma ministry," which should hold office so long as they should enjoy the confidence orthe Assembly. M Fitzgerald is iunderstood to have-com- pleted his arrangements, and was to meet the House on the 15th as the representative of the Government. New Zealand has thus acquired the honour of being the ..first among the Australian colonies to claim and to receive the full benefits of constitutional government. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA By the British and North American Royal Mairsteam- ship America, Captain Lang, which arrived on Sunday night, we have intelligence from New York to the 10th, and Boston to the 11th, and by telegraph from New York to the 12th inst. She brought ninety-seven, pas- sengers and $437,863. The Canada, Captain Stone, arrived at New York on the 6th inst. The steamer Hausa, from Bremen, arrived at New York on the 9th inst: THE LOSS OF THE ARCTIC The following further particulars of the loss of the Arctic are taken from the Boston Daily Post, ottl3e.llth instant : _ _ "Up to the morning of the 10th, the loss of the Arctic was unknown in New York. The greatest anxiety existed, and Mr. Collins intended to despatch a steamer in search of her. " The Collins, steam-ship Arctic is lost. She left Liver- pool on the 20th ult., with 250 passengers, and a crew of 175. On the 27th tilt., at twelve, noon, in a dense fog, about forty miles from Cape Race, Newfoundland, she came in contact with a large iron barque-rigged propeller, bound to the eastward, with all sail set. The Arctic was going thirteen knots per hour. The shock to the Arctic appeared slight, but to the propeller it was frightful. The boats were ordered to the relief of the propeller, and one, containing the chief mate, boatswain, and three sailors, left. It was then discovered that the Arctic had sustained injuries, and that the water was pouring into her bows. The pumps were vigorously worked, and an anchor and chain thrown overboard, but, in spite of all exertions, the water extinguished the fires, and the en- gines stopped. Four of the five other lifeboats are believed to have been well-provisioned, containing the engineers, sailors, a few passengers, and all the officers, except the captain and third mate, who left the ship at an early stage. A majority of the passengers were working the pumps and firing signal guns, and others launching spars, under the direction of Captai4 Luce and Mr. Dorian, the third mate, to form a raft. A panic suddenly seized all on board, and a rush was made for the raft. A large number got upon it, and into the boat. The sea was then flush with the dead lights, and in a few moments more the Arctic sunk, and all on board perished. At five o'clock in the afternoon of the 28th the survivors of the boat espied a sail, and raised a handkerchief to attract attention, which they succeeded in doing, and found the vessel to be the barque Huron, of St. Andrews, N. 11,, Captain A. Wall, bound to Quebec, which took them all on board. The raft was seen in the distance with one poor man only clinging to it. A boat was immediately sent, and rescued him. He stated that after the steam-ship sunk he counted 72 men and four women on the raft, but at eight o'clock he was the only one alive. During the night- of the 28th Captain Wall hang out extra lights, fired rockets, and kept a horn blowing, in hopes of falling in with the remainder of the beats, but his endeavours were fruitless. On the evening of the 28th he spoke the ship Lebanon, Captain Story, bound for New York, by which eighteen of the number were taken off. The Lebanon afterwards transferred them to the pilot-boat Christian Berg, No. 16, by which they reached the city. The fate of the propeller and the other five boats of the Arctio is not known. The propeller is supposed to have been the Charity, from Mont- real for Liverpool. Capt. Wall, of the Huron, on the morn- ing of the 28th, saw a singularly-looking craft bear to leeward, but was unable to tell whether she was a steamer or a sailing vessel. He says she had a nondescript ap- pearance, and may have been the wreck of the propeller. The following is the list of those saved in the sixth boat, taken to Quebec by the Huron :—James Adry, ship's cook ; Luke M`Caffety, fireman ; Joseph Connolory, ditto ; Richard Makan, ditto; Thomas Connoy, ditto; James Connor, ditto; John Doury, ditto; Christian Morany, ditto ; James Ward, ditto ; C. Callahan, ditto ; T. Wat- son, assistant-engineer; R. Bryan, waiter; D. Barry, ditto; Erastns Miller, ditto. Arrived at this port in the Lebanon, Edward Bryan, fireman; Patrick Mahan, ditto; Thomas Garland, ditto ; Patrick Casey, ditto ; Patrick Tobin, ditto; Dobbin Carnagan, ditto ; Wm. Nicolls, Terescoe, Sicily Islands, passenger ; Henry Jenkins, ditto, ditto; J. Thompson, New Orleans, ditto; Captain Paul F. Grano, New York, ditto ; Gee. H. Burns, Phila- delphia, ditto; Francis Doran, New York, third officer; Thomas Brennan, assistant-engineer ; JOhn Connolly, engineer's steward; Thomas Stanton, officer's steward; James Callaghan, porter; Michael M`Laughlan, boy; Peter M`Cade, waiter, picked off the raft. The following are the names of the persons known to be in the ship's boats :—The five boats which may have reached land or been picked up are known to have contained Mr. Gurley, the first officer ; Thomas Wilde, boatswain ; Mr. Balane, second officer; Mr. Graham, fourth officer; Wm. Moon, New York, passenger. Also, Mr. Rogers, chief engineer ; Mr. Drown, first assistant; Mr. Walker, second ditto; Mr. Willett, third ditto ; Daniel Connelly, John Moran, John Flanagan, and Patrick M`Cauley, firemen ; Mr. Dingell, Mr. Kelly, and Mr. Ivison, engineers ; and a young man named Robinson, under instruction in the en- gineers' department, besides sailors and quarter-masters. Amone those last seen on the quarter-deck, while fasten- ing life-preservers on the females, who must have sunk with the ship or perished on the raft, were Captain Luce and son, Mrs. E. K. Collins, Master Coit Collins, Mr. Brown and family, senior partner of the firm of Brown, Shipley, and Co., of Liverpool; Mr. Thomas, importer of hosiery, New York ; Mr. D. Adams, Brooklyn ; Mr. Bowen, Cincinnati ; Mr. Charles Sprague, Michigan ; Ira Muirhead, jun., Petersburg, Va ; Mrs. Hewitt and daugh- ter, Fredricksburg, Va ; Mr. Wood, New York ; Mr. Ysakey, Mr. Schmidt, Miss Merton, Falmouth, England ; and a nephew of Mr. Bloodgood, hotel-keeper, Philadel- phia, reliding in Albany, the Duke de Grammont, of the

THE TIDE OF EMIGRATION, TIIB recent arrivals and departures of magnificent pas- senger ships—the Lightning, the Red Jacket, the Cham- pion of the Seas, the Guiding Star, and others—will give additional interest to the following article, which we extract from the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette : No nation contributes more active and sturdy masses of population to people other countries than Great Britain ; yet, with this steady and continuous drain on its vital re- sources, no country feels so little consequent evil there- from. The reason is obvious : the children who leave the homes of the parent country lose none of their regard for it, but, on the contrary, become more closely identified in all the bonds of relationship which promote the social, individual, and general prosperity. With better remu- neration for their industry, and a larger sphere of opera- tion for their energies, they become more extensive cus- tomers to our producers and manufacturers ; and while they advance their own interests more rapidly, and build up for themselves fertile homesteads, they at, the same time increase the national wealth, and give active and profitable employment to the various branches of home industry. The anvil and the loom, the workshop and the shipbuilder, severally participate in the increased business thus promoted. The man who was but a consumer of goods to the amount of a few pounds in the year at home, becomes in the colonies of Australia, or the back-woods of Canada and the United States, a more important per- sonage, with enhanced wants, and more luxurious ideas, which he finds ample means at command to gratify. To the Shipping Interest this passenger traffic has now become one of the most important elements of the carrying trade, giving profitable and continuous employment to a large number of vessels. The emigration trade, as is well known, centres for the most part in the two great shipping ports of London and Liverpool, and is participated in only to a small extent by some of the, other outports—Glasgow sending periodically a few ships, and Southampton and Plymouth having a moderate share of the business. The Liverpool merchants have especially laid themselves out for this conveyance of emigrants in passenger-vessels, and have certainly monopolised the lion's share of the immense traffic. For this they possessed many peculiar advantages, from the situation of this port, and the large number who proceeded thither from Ireland and Scotland, from which countries the living tide first began to flow in strong volume. Some years ago emigration was looked upon rather in the light of banishment, and our various colonies held out their arms in vain to receive an infliix of sturdy hands and hearts to their population. Now the case is altered. The difficulty is rather to place floodgates to the stream than to widen its channel. Emigration makes emigration. The gold discoveries of Australia continue productive, and there seems no prospect of their falling off. The fields are rather extending, and although indi- vidual profits may not be so large, the aggregate yield of gold is as extensive as ever. The trade, shipping, and pastoral interests of our southern colonies are also extending to an extraordinary degree, and the demand for labour, instead of growing less, is stimulated. The cry in all the Australian colonies is still, " Send us labour.' The 20,000 or 30,000 a year that left from 1848 to 1851, were but as a drop in the bucket ; and although more emigrants quitted our shores in the last two years for Australia than in the five previous years, yet each and all of the settlements are demanding a still higher amount of available labour. New South \Vales sends its £200,000 home for labour this year ; Van Diemen's Land offers a bounty of £22 for each introduced immigrant ; Victoria, Western Australia, and New Zealand, demand in equally energetic terms, that more labour shall be sent there. The chief causes of emigration to the West and the East are still steadily at work ; and although the war may have drafted off a large proportion of our population for our fleets and armies, yet the exude in the current year will not be found to differ essentially from that which has been proceed- ing now for several years. There is an expansion and elasticity in the new countries which absorbs readily all the population sent them, since but few return. Saturate the sponge as we will, it still absorbs more moisture. The Anglo-Saxon race, in all their migrations, is proving worthy of their lineage, and is spreading throughout the world its false and freedom, its prosperity and progress,

Term (the 24th of October) the powers of the Hebdoma- dal Council is to be elected in the manner subscribed, and it is to possess all the powers of the board. The Council is to hold the first sitting on the day of election. Of the six persons elected out of each of the heads of colleges, or halls, the three juniors in each class are to vacate their seats in the third year, and may be re-elected. The com- position of the Congregation is defined, and the Congrega- tion is empowered "to frame regulations for its own pro- ceedings. 'Statutes may be made and altered, and the Congregation may speak in English. Certain oaths not to disclose any matter relating to the University, to resist, or not concur in, any change, &c., are declared to be illegal from the passing of the act. The College of St. Mary of Winchester is to be subject to the act. All ordinances, regulations, and statutes are to be laid before the Queen in Council, and the several colleges may petition the Queen against approving of the same; and such ordi- nances, &c., are to be laid before Parliament. The stamp duties on matriculations and degrees are to be abolished, and, except in so far as they are expressly altered or taken away by the provisions of this act, the powers and privi- leges are to continue in full force. There are 48 clauses in the new act, and the commissioners appointed to carry it into execution are, the Earl of Hafrowby, the Earl of Ellesmere, the Bishop of Ripon, Mr. Justice Coleridge, the Dean of Wells, Sir John Wither Awdry, and Mr. George Cornewall Lewis. The powers conferred are to remain in force until the Ist: of January, 1867, and Her Majesty may extend them for another year, " and no longer." SCENE AT ST. PAUL'S KNIGHTSBRIDGE (FRO3I TICE GLOBE.) SOME months since, the re-election of Mr. Westerton as Churchwarden having expressed, in the most unqualified manner, the disapproval of the great majority of the parish- ioners of the practices recently introduced at the above church, the Bishop of London advised the Hon. and Rev. R. Liddell, the incumbent, to discontinue, among other practices, that of intoning or chanting the prayers, and to read them instead. Mr. Liddell determined to follow this advice, and gave notice, some three months since, that such was his intention. It will be remembered that, on the fol- lowing day, two of the curates, Messrs-. Nugee and Parry, resigned. From this period St. Paul's has been beset by a number of person's, principally youths and girls from the purlieus of St. Barnabas', and members of that and other Tractarian congregations, who under the leadership of a youth named Fitzroy (said to be a member e to account for , of the Coib at Durham), have persisted in the Litany in defiance of the ex- _ 2ressed wish of the incumbent, the orders and advice of the bishop, and the rubrics and practices of the church of England. Their mode of action is as follows: They assemble before the church doors are open and rush into the church, occupy the most prominent places of the free seats, which, from their proximity to the choir, afford them the best chances of most effectually impeding the latter in the dis- charge of their duty. When the curate commences reading the Litany, which he does in a monotone, and the choir attempts to respond, these self-styled choralists burst in by chanting, and thus overwhelm the choir, causing confusion, dismay, and disorder. To prevent this, Mr. Liddell ordered the choir, when so interrupted, to discontinue the responses and thus.the perpetrators of these discreditable acts have had it all their own way. Not content with this, the fol- lowing advertisements have appeared in various news- papers " St. Paul's Knightsbridge.—Full Cathedral Service on .—On Wednesday (Feast of St. Luke) the

ONE SHILLING, TIIR TL E TURTLE STEAKS, TURTLE CUTLETS, S 0 U P, ♦T MORRISH'S MERCHANTS' DINING-ROOMS, LANCASTER BUILDINGS, TITHEBARN-STREET, LIVERPOOL 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. OLIVICII'S ESTATB.—A contemporary gives the fol- lowing with reference to the affairs of Mr. Oliver :—The estate glows property valued at £1,168,258 to meet £700,000 of liabilities, which would give a surplus of &468,250, 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, £94,600; 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. Pembertoll- - Glasgow. Pettoma. Ant. Gertrude, (deposit) Pamela. Aberfoyle. Haidee. Pero. Adriana. Haidee. Princeton.

The audienee,iie regret to state, was by no me excellence of the performance ought to have attracted AT THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE the performances throughout the week have been Taried as well as attractive, Mr. Buckstone having appeared nightly in some of his characteristically-droll representations. On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, the leading piece was " The Old Chateau," in which Mr. Buckstone, in his customary humorous manner, sustained the character of Michael Samson, exciting great laughter, and drawing down bursts of merited applause. On Wednesday he repeated his performance of Torn Tittler, in the "Knights of the Round Table," and on Friday produced, for his benefit, a new drama, entitled " The Hope of the Family," in which he acted the character of Joe JVadd, a youth picked up by a cunning and unprincipled attorney, and by him passed Off as the lost son of a baronet. Buck-stone's display of vulgar arrogance, cowardice, and low cunning is most admirable, and elicited shouts of laughter. In the after- :s the pieces he has also rendered himself useful as well as attractive, and, aided by the resident company, the per- formances at this house have been satisfactory, and well attended. LIVERPOOL COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, THE AUSTRALIAN FUGITIVE BANKRUPT Lesr week we narrated the capture of Joseph Bernestein, a Prussian, who, having evaded his creditors in Melbourne, and taken passage on board the Saldanha, sailed for Eng- land, carrying with him a large amount of money in sovereigns and bank-notes. The bankrupt, as we stated, was followed to this country by parties representing some of his creditors, who, having obtained the necessary war- rant for his apprehension, placed it in the hands of Mr. Gaskill, one of the chief messengers of the Bankruptcy Court, by whom Bernestein was taken into custody. On Saturday, Bernestein was brought before Mr. Com- missioner Perry, and underwent a long examination. Con- siderable interest having been attached to the case, the court was filled during the greater part of the day. Mr. John Yates appeared for Messrs. Maunders Brothers and Co., of Melbourne, the detaining creditors; Mr. Squarey was for Mr. Hayes, another Melbourne creditor ; Mr. Evans represented a creditor for over £BOO ; and Mr. Simon as counsel, with Messrs. Anderson and Collins as attorneys, were for the bankrupt. The examination of the bankrupt, who is a good-looking young man, under (apparently) 30 years of age, of intelligent and gentlemanly manners, was immediately proceeded with. He is a Prussian, but speaks English fluently, although he stated that he could neither read nor write the language. On being sworn, the bankrupt said : I lived in Melbourne about two years before I left it, which was on the 12th July last; I• was in business there as a general merchant and outfitter of all kinds. I took a passage in the ship Sal- danha for England, and did so in the name of Francis Smyth ; I was arrested at the Nelson luggage deptit, when I arrived in Liverpool ; I cannot tell the amount of my liabilities in Australia, but I think about '&1,500 ; that in- cludes the claim of Roskell & Co., Maunders & Co., and Mr. Hayes—but I cannot tell, as I have nothing to prove it. I left my books and papers behind me in Mel- bourne, but some I brought with me, books and papers ; I could not take my oath what debts I owe in Australia— people sent in goods to me on commission, and I am not a debtor for them. Mr. Yates : Can you tell us what debts you owe in Australia. Bankrupt : I can't tell, as goods were sent in to me to sell as a broker; if I did not sell them I don't know if I am liable for them ; I can state to the court what goods I left behind unsold; here are invoices—there was a lot of bacon worth about £BOO left behind—that was the value sent in to me ; but it was sent to me by a gentleman whom I don't know—l don't know his name; that was not my property at all. I got a lot of goods from M`Dowell, the invoice for which is £800; that invoice is also here. Mr. Yates : Did you have any more ? Bankrupt : I will show my invoices, but I can do no more; I produce some of M`Dowell's invoices—there are twelve or fourteen casks of brandy in the bonded ware- house, cost 14s. per gallon. Mr. Yates : What property have you left behind ? Bankrupt : Your honour, you have the bills. Where did you leave the property, and with whom ? •• • I left them with a Mr. Chapman, who did business for me, and who i 5 well known to Mr. Colley, in Melbourne ; Chapman took the bacon, &c., to Collingwood, which place is joining to Melbourne; I did not get any money on the hams or bacon by way of advance; I gave d`Dowell a bill for the hams, but it is not yet due. The bill is for £399, and I had it discounted by a friend, and M`Dowell got the money. Dia you have any other property in Australia ? I sent to the diggings £l5O worth of property, to Messrs. Hamilton and Hull, to whom I owed £4O, and told them to sell the goods, pay themselves, and send the goods and the rest to the Bank of Australia. There are bills out that are due to me, payable at my house, not at the Bank —one from Mr. Atkins, £lOO, a spirit grocer, payable at the Bank. Mr. Chapman has the bill. A man named Austin, a dealer about town, for every one there is a dealer, owes me £4O. There are other small debts, but I cannot recollect them. I cannot state the names of per- sons with whom I had dealings for four months before I left Melbourne, but as far as I can recollect them, they were M`Dowell, Austin, Clerk, John Hare, and Mr. Hayes. I cannot recollect any more. I cannot take my oath to it. There may be small things; the above are all the large accounts I owe. Rostrom and Co. are creditors for goods, partly sold, and partly there yet. The bankrupt then proceeded to say that, as well as he remembered, he had goods to the following amount in June last :—From Tennant and Co.' £lO9 ; from Mr. Womb, £l6 ; ditto, £105; ditto, £l2l. I had a good deal of money in the Bank. I sent a cheque to the Bank before I left for £l,OOO but I did not get it. I had not so much there. I got over £6OO in sovereigns out of the Bank. Mr. Yates : What has become of it ? Bankrupt : I purchased 3,035 sheep from a squatter near Melbourne, at 255. Gd. per head, two months before that. He (the squatter) was to get a deposit of £l,OOO, and the remainder in two months' bills. I sent for butchers, who examined the sheep, and said they were not worth half the money, and I was obliged to pay them £lOO for driving the sheep to Melbourne. He (bankrupt) went on to account for the £6OO which he alleged to have drawn from the bank, but in doing so he accounted for a good deal more. He had paid, he said, £l2O for his pas- sage and that of Mary Ward (who was his housekeeper for two months in Melbourne before he left) to England, and also £2O for refreshments; he spent £lO or £l2 since he came here, and now, he added, producing a purse and laying five half-sovereigns ou the table, "there is all the money I have in the world, and you may take it from me, and let me starve." His housekeeper passed, on the voy- age home, as Clara Smyth, his wife. His object in getting out of the ship so early in the morning was to get on to London as quick as possible. Mr. Yates : Did you pay out any money since you came. to Liverpool? Bankrupt : Yes ; I paid £l6O to Messrs. Anderson ana Collins ; that was in notes. I got the notes from the girl—my housekeeper—changed sovereigns for notes; I did not give her the sovereigns, as she had all, and I told her to bring me notes fir gold. lam quite sure of that.

DR. HAHN, although residing in this country since 1849, has hitherto abstained from calling public attention to this remedy (which is the result of profound pathological study and intense chemical research), apprehensive that he might be classed amongst the numerous pretenders of the day ; having, however, during the past year received a number of highly satisfactory testimonials from noblemen and others, with permission in some eases to refer to them, he is induced to offer the remedy to the community, and will forward the prescription, with all necessary instructions as to regimen, diet, &c., on receipt of the fee of 10s., by postotfice order, payable to CARL lIAHN, Dispensary, Nottingham. Reference is permitted to the following Gentlemen, who have been permanently cured of Rheumatic Gout, in its most distressing form :—Robert Colelough. Esq., Newfield Hall, Uttoxetor, Staffordshire; W. D. Ludlam, Esq., Wingfield park, near Alfreton, Derbyshire; Captain Gresham, Hunsiet Hall, Leeds.

We are happy to hear that Professor HA Hs. whose recent lectures to the students at Guy's, on DEAFNESS, its causet and cure, gave such complete satisfaction, is preparing for the faculty a translation of his work on Gout, published as Manheim, in 1848.—Londora Medical Gazette.

Dear sir —I send you the enclosed ; perhaps it will be worth your while to publish it. An extraordinary case of cure from rheumatic gout by Blair's Pills has recently come nnder my notice. A young girl, about eighteen years of age, was dreadfully afflicted, so much so, that she could not move without the most excruiating pain. She was in this state some little time, and had medical advice, but with no good effect. At last she could not leave her bed, neither stir hand nor foot, and her food was given her by spoon. Her father at this crisis was induced to try Blair's Pills. He purchased a box of me, telling me at the same time the condition of his daughter. Well, sir, she took two doses, and was relieved ; she took two boxes, and was cured.—l stn, dear sir, yours, faithfully, JOHN G. CABORN.

n Smithdown- after some neg ;otiation, 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.

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 lie), 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 21bs. 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, ofTenders 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 cases 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 painful cases, if not altogether 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 parties, 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 yellow 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 wa: 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 of John Johnson, Wfie AtiUld guilty, and sentenced to be imprisoned for four months. Mary Kelly, charged with stealing a piece of soap, the property of Mary Wilson, was found guilty, and sentenced to be imprisoned for twelve months. Thomas Curran and Philip Howard, both labourers, were charged with stealing three hundred bags, the pro- perty of John Sutherland and others. Curran was acquitted, and Howard found guilty, and sentenced to be imprisoned for five months. SOUTH • CHESHIRE REGISTRATION, ARRIVAL OF THE LIGHTNING. EXTRAORDINARY PASSAGE. THE magnificent ship the Lightning, Capt. Forbes, be- longing to the " Black Ball" line of Australian packets, arrived in the Mersey yesterday, after the unprecedentedly short passage of sixty-three days, having left Melbourne on Sunday, the 20th of August. The Lightning sailed hence on the 14th May, and has made the voyage out and home, including the detention of twenty days at her anchors in. Hobson's Bay, in 6 months 8 days and 21 hours, mean time, from passing the Rock Light till she was back in the river again. The time occupied by the Lightning in making the round voyage to Australia and back, considering her de- tention in port, is unprecedentedly short, notwithstanding that the outward run, from the nature of the winds expe- rienced, occupied longer than might have reasonably been expected from the well-known qualifications of the ship and the great ability of her commander. Her run from the Mersey to the Equator occupied 25 days, and from the parallel of the Cape to Port Philip Heads 30 days ; in- deed, such was the nature of the winds, that the topgal- lantsails never had occasion to be furled during the entire passage, neither was there occasion to reef the topsails. With the exception of five days, when the ship logged 332, 348, 300, 311, and 329 knots respectively per day, no extraordinary distances were logged. Cape Otway Light was made on the night of the 29th July; Port Philip Heads on the 30th ; and she cast anchor, as above stated, in Hobson's Bay, on the 31st, her run having occupied 771 days, mean time. On the 20th of August, the mails and passengers being embarked, and everything ready for sea, the anchor was hove up, and the Lightning was taken in tow by the steamer Washington as far as the Heads, which she passed at 4, p.m., a smart north-w,eat breeze blowing at the time, and by noon of the 21st, t6B milds were logged, Swan Island Light, Banks' Straits, having been passed at 11, a.m. On the 24th, a.m., passed a large ship, supposed to be the Mermaid, which sailed two days previously for Liverpool; and at 10, p.m., same day, passed the Auck- land Islands. From thence to the 28th, when the ship was in lat. 57.20 south, long. 164 IV:, fresh westerly and southwesterly breezes were experienced, and the ship went nobly along, seldom logging leas than 14, and fre- quently 18i and 19 knots per hour. At 11, p.m. on the 28th, whilst under a heavy press of canvas, a violent squall from S.W. caught the ship, and carried away the foretopmast ,studdingsail boom, the foretop, foretopgallant, and foreroyal yards, and blowing all the sails to pieces, and the ship was obliged to go under easy canvas for the succeeding four clays, until the yards and sails had been replaced. From the Ist to the Bth September, fine westerly winds were expe- rienced, and the ship averaged close ulpon 300 miles per day, as per log. On the Bth, at 3 a.m., Cape Horn bore N.W. distant 50 miles, being a run of only 19 days mean time from Port Philip Heads, by far the fastest ever re- corded either under canvas or steam. On the 10th, 11th, and 12th, N.E., E., and S.E. winds were experienced, and but moderate distances were logged, the ship having to be frequently tacked, to make a fairway course. On the 13th and 14th, strong S. and S.W. winds were expe- rienced, and she ran 351 and 354 miles per day respec- tively. From the 15th to the 20th light and head winds were met with, and only from six to seven knots per hour were averaged. On the 20th she was in lat. 29.13 S., long. 31.40 W., and from thence to Pernambuco, which port was passed at a distance of six miles on the morning of the 28th, nothing but light N.U. and N.N.E. winds[were experienced. _ . The Equator was crossed at 9, a.m., on the 30th, in lon. 34 30 W., the ship at the time being only out a little over forty days, mean time, from Port Philip. An extra- ordinary achievement, considering the adverse winds encountered after rounding Cape Horn. For the first five .days . after .crossing the Equator, light winds and calms were met with, accompanied by heavy torrents of rain, and the ship made little or no progress. On the sth, in lat. 10 N., lon. 34 W., gentle N.E. trade winds were experienced, which continued until the 10th, in let. 30 N., lon. 37 W. On the 11th and 12th she had moderate S.E. winds, and at. noon of the latter day was in the latitude of St. Michael's, and lon. 30 W., being only 4 months and 29 days out from the time of leaving Liverpool. From the 12th to the 19th the winds were E.N.E. and N.E., very light; and during the intervening seven days the ship reached lat. 46 15 N., lon. 28 W., and at 10 p.m. on the 19th, a strong northerly breeze spranc, up, which con- tinued until her arrival off the Old 'Head of Kinsale, at 4. a.m. on Sunday. At 10 a.m., off Mine Head, signals were exchanged with the royal mail steam-ship Arabia, hence for New York; at 3 30, p.m. ,Tuskar Light was passed ; at 8 30 p. m. Holyhead Light was passed ; and at 10 30 p.m., the ship was abreast Point Lynes, where she received a pilot. The ship was kept under easy sail during the night, waiting a sufficiency of water to cross the bar, and arrived in the river at 9 30, yesterday morning. - - - The Lightning has brought upwards of 80 passogers, and 40,000 ounces of gold dust on freight, besides a large amount in the hands of passengers. The Lightning has brought answers to the letters of the 13th June, per Great Britain, raking a Bourse of post of only 132 days. During the stay-of the Lightning-in Hobson's Bay she created quite an excitement, and was visited by hundreds of people. On the 13th of August a dejeuner was given on board, which was atteinted by upwards of one hundred of the principal ladies and tentlemera at Melbourne. The ship John Banks sailed from Melbourne for Lon- don on the 15th August, with a large -mount of gold dust on freight. The screw-steamer Lady Jocelyn with the mails of the 4th June, from Southampton, arrived in Hobson's Bay on the 12th August. _ . _ The screw-steamer Great Britain, which sailed from this port on the 13th June, arrived in Hobson's Bay, at 2, p.m. on the 18th August, and came to anchor, but was afterwards compelled to proceed to Ticonderoga Bay to perform a rigid quarantine, several cases of small-pox having occurred on board. The ship Ballarat was to sail for London from Mel- bourne, on the 22d August. The ship Ocean Chief, Captain Tobin, belonging to the Black Ball line, arrived at Port Philip on the 7th August, after a fine passage of 74 days. The ship Francis Henty sailed from Melbourne for London, on the 17th August, with 38,876 ounces of gold, (value £135,504,) and 4,400 sovereigns on freight. The Mermaid sailed for Liverpool on the 17th, with 10,000 ounces (value £40,000,) in gold dust, on freight. During the previous week the gold escorts brOught the following amounts :—namely, from Mount Alexander and Bendigo 23,426 ounces, and from Ballarat 4,206 ounces. The Melbourne labour market was very dull, there being little demand for the country. The Portland Bay Gztardian'states that new gold- digging had been discovered about twelve miles from that town. Our advices from Hobart Town are to the 15th August. The Gazette, of the 11th, announces that Sir John Lewis Pedder had resigned his office as Chief-Justice of the Su- preme Court of Van Diemen's Land, on account of im- paired health. The appointment of Valentine Fleming, Esq., to the vacancy, and of Francis Smith, Esq., to the Attorney-Generalship, wee also gazetted. A Geelong paper, of the 18th, says, "The diggins gene- rally are reported at present as rather inactive. The nn- usually dry winter is evidently telling in a very great degree against the general yield of gold. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION. ADENCROMRY WARD. —A Radical meeting was held on Tuesday, in Mulberry-street, Mr. C. Willmar in the chair, when it was resolved to nominate Mr. A. G. Stewart, in opposition to Mr. Tinto. Mr. Stewart, in addressing the meeting, said he had come forward as a candidate, not he was ambitious to obtain corporate honours, but because bb had been urged to. do so by many private friends, as well as deputations from several wards ; and felt bound, as a citizen, to sacrifice a part of his own com- forts and time for the,benefit of his fellow-townsmen. SCOTLAND WAIID.—At a meeting of the electors on Wednesday, Mr. Gardner presiding, resolutions were adopted, soliciting Mr. James Thomson to allow himself to be nominated for re-election. Excruncin WABD.----At a meeting of the electors, on Thursday, .Mr. Janiee Tyrer presiding, Mr. Chas. Turner observing that Mr. Littledale had•served them ably during a period of nine successive years, and had on each occasion been elected without opposition, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Littledale for his uniform ability and attention in promoting the interests and general welfare of his fellow- townsmen. Mr. Leatherbarrow seconded the proposition, which was carried nem. con. Mr. Robinson moved that the requisition to Mr. Littledale, to come forward for re- election, be presented to him. Mr. John Reed seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously. The requisition, which contained the signatures of 480 electors, at the head of which was the name of Mr. Horsfall, M.P., was then presented by the chairman. Mr. Littledale re- sponded in an excellent address, in the course of which, referring to St. George's-hall, he, congratulated them on the completion of .o building that was an ornament to the town and a credit to the tountry, in which, he could state upon high authority, Her Mijesty, although not present at the opening, took great interest. EvziiroN WARD.-An active canvass has been carried on by Mr. D. Crosthwaite, who comes forward for re- election, but as yet there is no opposition. ST: PAUL'S WARD.—The re-election of Mr. M`Guffie is opposed by Mr. Savage, but it is believed that the old member will be returned. 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.

The Chairman, in opening the business, said they were met in consequence of the unseatingof 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`NicalFfor. 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. IWNicoll ,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 Toulnain said he would not let the oppor- tunity pass of bearing his testimony to the value of Mr. M'Nicoll's services in the Town Council. Mr. M'Nicoll said the office of Town Councillor was one of honour, and' he felt obliged fin* the handsoine manner in which his services had been achnoaledged. A mere technical difficulty had occurred to prevent his continuing their representative, and not deeming it-proper that the w and should for cue 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 highest opinion of the t eatkinsua who had been selected as a candidate to fill the vacancy, and he should have much pleasure in seeing him returned. Alderman Toulmin, in moving the second resolution said he felt some delicacy in coming forward, but as his vote had been transferred from Pitt-streat to Great George Ward, he was, perhaps, in his proper place among them. The gentleman he was about to propose he had known many years, and he possessed every essential qualification for a most efficient represestative. He meant Mr. James Mark Wood, who had represented West Derby Ward for three years, and who he was sure would give satisfaction to every elector. Mr. Stubsb seconded the motion Mr. Bland supported the motion, having known Mr. Wood many years, and believing him to be in every respect eminently qualified for the office. The resolution was carried by acclamation Mr. Wood was then introduced to the meeting, and he proceeded to address them. He said he had consented to stand for the remainder of the term, rendered vacant by the retirement of Mr. M`Nicoll. One of the most im- portant questions to be brought forward would be the Town Dues, which realised £lOO,OOO a-year, and out of which many Freat improvements had been carried out. He declared himself in favour of preserving them as far as lay in his power. As a merchant and ship-owner, of twenty-five years' stannding, he was well acquainted with the town, and knew something of the proceedings of the Town Council. With reference to the scheme of dock extension, the Wapping Dock would soon be open, and he thought their present docks should be made fully available before laying out so large a sum as two or three millions. (Loud cheers.) Mr. 11(`Kinley moved the third resolution pledging the meeting to use their best exertions to secure Mr. Wood's return, but he did not think any one was hardy enough to attempt an opposition; but if they should have a contest, they were prepared to meet it. Mr. Thomson had much pleasure in seconding the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Gibson, the honorary secretary, said that he had had much pleasure in getting up a requisition to their worthy representative, Mr. Wagstaff, and enrolling the list of signatures, which was several yards in length. He said he was sure l‘fr. Wagstaff would accept it as a testimony of the opinion entertained of him by his constituents, and the certainty of his re-election on the present occasion. Mr. Wagstaff, in acknowledging the compliment. said, that although he had represented them six years, he felt some little anxiety on the approach of November ; but the splendid requisition before him dispelled all his doubts. He entered into some particulars with reference to the baths and wash-houses, and also to the labours of the Edu- cation Committee, in both of which he had taken great interest. He thought the electors would do well in re- turning Mr. Wood as his colleague, and he was sure- his services would give satisfaction to every burgess in the ward. He most cordially accepted the requisition. (Loud cheers.) It was then moved by Mr. Stubbs, and seconded by Mr. Maeverigan, that Mr. Wagstaff be re-elected, and the mo- tion was carried by acclamation. Mr. Wood moved a vote of thanl which was seconded by Mr. Wagstaff duly acknowledged, the meeting separated. s to the chairman, ST: ANNE'S `YARD, MEETING OP 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. Mr. Robinson denounced the attacks which had been made, that signatures had been attached to the pe- tition through misrepresentation or by means of forgery. He would give a digest of the memorial. It contained the 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 make the amende honorable. That the "entire-sanctification 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 ming, why not in the leading articles ? He was surprised that the proprietor should have circulated such areport, 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 lewitimate means in securing his return, passed, and the meeting separated after giving cheers for Mr. Kitchen. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONGST THE JEWS. Ist March, 1854, amounted to £B3B 19s. ld., being £l4 16s. 441. less than the previous year ; that the local missionary, the Rev. Me Hirsch, still continued his labours amongst the Jews in the town; that within the year upwards of 120 Jews had sought a personal interview with him; that one young man had been admitted to baptism, and there were five others under particular instructions ; that the Rev. F. Parry felt obliged to re- sign the office of Secretary, the duties of which he had so long and so well discharged, but that the committee ccn- tinned to have the benefit of his advice and assist-u ce as a member of the committee. Referring to tleopea- tions of the Parent Society, the report stated that there were 33 stations occupied in different parts of the world, at which there were 25 ordained and 36 unordained minis- ters, 20 colporteurs, which, with other assistants, made a total of 98 agents, who were seeking the lost sheep of the House of Israel. 51, or more than one-half of these, were converted Jews, of whom 13 were ordained ministers of the gospel. From the financial report of the Parent Society, the income for the past year amounted to £31,644 18s., being an increase of £4,092 Bs. 7d. (Cheers.) The Rev. F. PARRY, in rising to propose the first resolution, expressed the pleasure he felt in discharging so agreeable a duty. The resolution was one which would recommend itself to the meeting, proposing, as it did, that the report should be printed and circulated. It was as follows : That the report which has been read he adopted and printed under the direction of the committee for the ensuing

Bodies of men may, indeed, be marched into the Crimea, and the reckless policy of the Czar and his predecessors has never scrupled to sacrifice a large part of any force in 'rder to insure the arrival of the rest on the _. scene ca ction ; but the march from Odessa through Perekop to Sebastopol may be too hazardous for the boldest or the most unfeeling General. Before passing the isthmus large numbers must be disabled by fatigue, and between Perekop and Simpheropol there must be a march of many days without a drop of water. The state in,which the recent levies arrived is sufficient to show what must be the difficulties of such a transit, and when the strongest place of the peninsula is in the hands of the allies, and the possibility of retreat endangered, we have reason to believe that it will not be attempted.

H. lt ‘INSFORD expressed his intention of being very brief, as, from his own experience of ten years' duration. he 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 yearr, they had been treated with indfference, or rather with cruelty. For IS centuries they had been treated with contumely and injustice. He illustrated the beneficial ope- rations of tl.e son alluding to many instances in whit h youthful members of 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 MUNICIPAL ELECTION. ADIMCROMET WARD.-. 4. Radical meeting was held on Tuesday, in Mulberry-street, Mr. C. Willmer in the chair, when it was resolved to nominate Mt. A. G. Stewart, in opposition to Mr. Timm. Mr. Stewart, in addressing the meeting, said he had come forward as a candidate, not because he was ambitious to obtain corporate honours, but because ho had been urged to do so by many private friends, as well as deputations from several wards ; and felt bound, as a citizen, to sacrifice a part of his own com- forts and time for the benefit of his fellow-townsmen. SCOTLAND WARD.—At a meeting of the electors on Wednesday, Mr. Gardner presiding, resolutions were adopted, soliciting Mr. James Thomson to allow himself to be noqiinated for re-election. EXCHANGE WAILD.—At a meeting of the electors, on Thursday, Mr. James Tyrer presiding, Mr. Chas. Turner observing that Mr. Littledale had served them ably during a period of nine successive years, and had on each occasion been elected without opposition, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Littledale for his uniform ability and attention in promoting the. interests and general welfare of his fellow- townsmen. Mr. Leatherbarrovv seconded the proposition, which was carried nem. con. Mr. Robinson moved that the requisition to Mr. Littledale, to come forward for re- election, be presented to him. Mr. John Reed seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously. The requisition, which.contained the signatures of 480 electors, at the head of which was the name of Mr. Horsfall, M.P., was then presented by the chairman. Mr. Littledale re- sponded in an excellent address, in the course of which, referring to St. George's-hall, he congratulated them on the completion of a building that was an ornament to the town and a credit to the country, in which, he could state upon high authority, Her Majesty, although not present at the opening, took great interest. _ _ _ EvithoN WARD.-:-An active canvass has been carried on by Mr. D.

(FROM THE GLOBE.) SOME months since, the re-election of Mr. Westerton as Churchwarden having expressed, in the most unqualified the disapproval of the ereat majority of the parish- mann( practices receutli introduced at the above church, the Bishop of London advised the Hon. and Rev. R. Liddell, the incumbent, to discontinue, among other practices, that of intoning or chanting tho,prayers, and to read them instead. Mr. Liddell determined to follow this months since, that such ioners of tl nd gave notice, some tt lowing day, two of the curates resigned s period St. Paul's has been beset by a number of persons, principally youths and girls from the purlieus of St. Barnabas', and members of that and other Fractarian congregations, who under the leadership amed Fitzroy (said to be a member be School, at Durham), have persisted in (ming the Litany in defiance of the ex- Messrs. Nugee and Parry From t of a youth of the Collq pressed wish of the incumbent, the orders and advice of the bishop, and the rubrics and practices of the church of England. Their mode of action is as follows: They assemble before the church doors are open and rush into the church, occupy the most prominent places of the free seats, which, from their proximity to the choir, afford them the best chances of most effectually impeding the latter in the dis- charge of their duty. When the curate commences reading the Litany_ which he does in a monotone. and the choir attempts to respond, these self-styled choralists burst in by chanting, and thus overwhelm the choir, causing confusion, dismay, and disorder. To prevent this, Mr. Liddell ordered the choir, when so interrupted, to discontinue the responses- and thus the perpetrators of these discreditable acts have had it all their own way. Not content with this, the fol- lowing advertisements have appeared in various news- "St. Paul's, Knightsbridge.—Full Cathedral Service on Sundays, at 11.—On Wednesday (Feast of St. Luke) the Litany will be chanted by the choir. Churchmen, assist those struggling for their rights by your presence. I have said that the priests read the Litany, and a miserable effect the reading has, contrasted with the full body of sound arising from so many voices chanting the responses in unison. The great majority of the people from the first took up the chanted response,—long may they continue to do so, in spite of the deplorable timidity of the Bishop of London, and the opposition of the purify- ing committee of Protestant champions.' " Beyond the order given to the choir, it does not appear that anything has been done by Mr. Liddell to suppress these most unseemly interruptions. The churchwardens felt that they were not called on to interfere, in conse- quence of Mr. Liddell's objection to their having pre- viously interfered to abate that which he deprecated. On Sunday, when the curate commenced reading the Litany, the choir responded, when the choralists again interrupted in such a manner as to produce such con- fusion and discord as to induce a number of persons in the congregation to leave their places, and retire in disgust from• the church. The churchwarden now felt he was bound to interfere. He accordingly left his pew, and went up to Mr. Fitzroy's, the " hon. sec." of these dis- turbers, and stated that, unless he discontinued this dis- graceful interruption, he would have him removed. This produced no effect, and Mr. Westerton called upon the beadle to remove him. Having fetched his constable's staff he proceeded to do so, but Mr. Fitzroy having left his place, retreated higher up the pew, and placed two of his friends between himself and the officer, he was allowed to remain, having promised Mr. Westerton not to inter- fere again. The service, which had been continued during this disgracefut interruption, was then carried on to its close without any further interference by the choralists. We need scarcely add, that, for the few moments this scene lasted, the greatest indignation and consternation were felt by those who had witnessed the conduct of this organized and intrusive band-of disturbers. Shortly after the conclusion of the service, Mr. Fitzroy and two of his youthful companions waited on Mr Wes- terton, and wrote their names and addresses, which were as follows :—Richard Bullock, Esq., 50, Wilton-crescent ; Edward Jackson, the same address; and Ernest Fitzroy, Esq., 5, Eaton-place South. The latter stated that his object In calling was to know whether Mr. Westerton was going to prosecute for brawling in the church, and, on the latter stating such was his intention, Mr. Fitzroy asked whether he was also going to proceed against Mr. Bul- lock ? Mr. Westerton said he had no intention of doing so, when Mr. Fitzroy replied that, as that was the case, Mr. Bullock would take out a warrant against the church- warden for an assault. On Monday, an application was made to Mr. Arnold, the magistrate at Westminster Police-court, by Mr. Ernest Fitzroy, for an assault summons against Mr. Charles Westerton, the churchwarden. The complainant said that, about 16 or 17 weeks ago, certain alterations were made in the service, the Litany being monotoned instead of intoned. Many of the con- gregation were much averse to this change, and, despite the proceedings of the choir, had chanted the rubric, and Without any molestation until Sunday morning last, when upon persevering in their usual mode of performing the service, applicant and several others were assaulted. Applicant was seized suddenly by Mr. Westerton, who, laying hold of him by the arm, declared he should leave the church, and that he would put him out; upon which, applicant replied that, if he did so, it would be at the peril of ulterior proceedings. Mr. Westerton then seized ap- plicant by the collar, and attempted to carry his threat into execution, but applicant resisted, and several of the congregation having told Mr. Westerton that he was transgressing, he relinquished his hold of applicant, bat not until one of his friends had been dragged out of his sitting. Mr. Arnold thought the matter rather one for an ecclesiastical than a police-court. With respect to the powers of a churchwarden to preserve order, that the enactment of the bth and 6th of Edward VI., which still remained in force, used the words—" If any person shall smite, or lay any violent hands on another in any church, or churchyard, he shall be deemed ipso facto exclmmuni- cated, and be excluded from the fellowship and company of Christ's religion ; " but churchwardens, or perhaps private persons who whip boys for playing in the church, or pull off the hats of those who obstinately refuse to take them off themselves, or gently lay their hands on those who disturb the performance of any part of divine service, and turn them out of the- churehf are not within the meaning of the statute. He repeated his opinion, that the matter was one for inquiry before the ecclesiasti- cal court, but as applicant pressed for an assault summons he would not refuse the application, and accordingly granted the summons. On Friday, Mr. Westerton at- tended in answer to the summons. Mr. Ballantine ap- peared for Mr. Fitzroy, and Mr. Westerton was represented by Mr. Parry. Among the witnesses examined was the Hon. and Rev. R. Liddell, who said he was the incnmbent of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge. In consequence of .the dif- ferences which existed in reference to conducting the ser- vices, the Bishop of London gave him some private advice, which he took. He considered that Mr. Westerton was quite justified in preventinc, the interruption of the service last Sunday. Mr. Arnoldthen proceeded to adjudicate upon the case. He said that, although it was not his intention to go into the general question of chanting, he was compelled to say that the chanting on last Sunday did produce discord, and tended to interrupt the service. It was, under those circumstances, the duty of the church- warden to interfere ; and if the party offending would not desist, then it was the duty of the churchwarden to eject him from the church. He would not decide upon the lega- lity of the course Mr. Fitzroy adopted in chanting ; but this he was prepared to decide, that it appeared to him that the churchwarden acted according to what he consi- dered the conscientious discharge of his duty, and that his conduct, criminally or penally, did not call for punishment in that tribunal. He should, therefore, dismiss the summons. PILLAR LarrEu-soxEs.--The Postmaster-General has given notice to the various paving boards, that by their leave he intends to place pillar letter-boxes along the leading thoroughfares of the metropolis, at intervals of half a mile or so.

CHAR-GE 01' MURDER AGAINST A SCOTCH " LAIRD."— Mr. William Davidson, of Kebbaty, has been committed to Aberdeen gaol on the charge of having murdered his housekeeper, Catherine Davidson. The prisoner is a person who, at one time at least, was entitled to the cha- racter of a gentleman, but for some time past he has fol- lowed a course of reckless dissipation. It appears that on Friday night week he had a small party of young people assembled at his residence, Tillyfro Cottage, Cluny (about 17 miles to the north-west of Aberdeen). Drink was in- dulged in to a considerable extent, and when the company broke up, shortly after twelve o'clock, the host and his housekeeper (with whom he lived alone) were both intoxi- cated. About half-past five on Saturday morning, Mr. Davidson entered in a state next to nudity a neighbouring house, crying that he had found his housekeeper lying dead or dying beside him. Alarmed, the people without delay proceeded to Tillyfro Cottage, and found that the statement was true, the woman having evidently bled to death from two large wounds on the top of her brow. Mr. Davidson said he could in no way account for the circum- stance ; he could not even say how or when he got to bed ; all he knew was, that on awaking in the morning he found his servant lying beside him cold, with her head on his arm, and with all her clothes on. The wounds are sup- posed to have been caused by a pair of scissors, which were found in the room near the body covered with blood. Several parts of the accused's shirt were also marked with blood, but how it came there he says he cannot tell. He was taken to Aberdeen on Sunday night, and committed to prison on Monday. Mr. Davidson is said to be a tall, handsome man, aged 44, a widower, and has a family who resided apart from him. A considerable time ago he was, for a short period, an inmate of the Aberdeen Lunatic Asylum. His estate of Kebbaty is worth from £1,200 to £1,500 yearly, but from his habits it has been long under trustees. When in drink he was very violent, but in his sober moments kind and good-hearted. The deceased was a person of middle age, and had been in Mr. Davidson's servire for several years. BIRTHS, DIED. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.

Mr. Bretherton inquired if Mr. Tinnie was authorised by Mr. Cardwell to appear. Mr. Tinnie replied that he was not directly authorised, but he was joint-owner with Mr. Cardwell, and he wished to he impartial. The Barrister.—Have you a share of the house P Mr. Tinnie.—l have a share of the house for which Mr. Cardwell's name appears. Mr. Bremner.—Then, we will withdraw the objection to the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade. Mr. Tinnie.—The Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade, with whomq am associated The Barrister.—ln what way ? At the Board of Trade ? (Loud laughter.) Mr. Tinnie.—No, Sir, as joint-owner of the house.. The Barrister.—l see. The objection to the Right Hon. Gentleman was then withdrawn. _ _ . Mr. Alexander Shand, whose name appeared on the list as part-owner of a house in Back Chester-street, was objected to by Mr. Bretherton, on the ground that Mr. Shand's annual interest in the property did not amount to forty shillings a-year. _ . Mr.'S hand and his agent, Mr. Hughes, were examined, and proved that, after payinc, all deductions, his share of the rental was more than forty' shillings a-year.—Vote allowed. _ . u. Mr. Shand applied for costs, on the ground that the ob- jection was vexatious, and that he had been compelled to travel from London in order to defend his vote. The Barrister said he did not feel justified in allowing costs, inasmuch as Mr. Shand's agent was present, and there was no necessity for Mr. Shand to have come from London. _ _ The names of Mr. Richard Bright, jun., of Dingle-hill, Toxteth-park, and twenty-seven others, who claimed to be on the register for property in Brook-street, were objected to by Mr. Bremner, and as none of them appeared to sup- port the claims, all the names were struck out. The result of the revision is a great gain to the Con- servatives, having succeeded in all their claims and ob- jections—twenty-four of the former and twenty-eight of the latter; and the Radicals having failed in all their objections. LALTNCHES. • THE paddle-steamer the Pamper:), for the South American Steam Navigation Company, intended for the branch service between Rio and the River Plate, at present performed by the La Plata, was to have beenilaunched from Mr. Laird's yard, at Birkenhead, on Saturday. Every preparation was made ; she was named by Madame Coulette, wife of M. Goulette, of Paris, (of the Compagnie des Messageries Imperiale,) and started on her "passage," but just before reaching the water, she gradually stopped, through the ground having given way at a place under her landing blocks. But she sat as firmly in her cradle as if the daggers had not been struck down, and did not sustain the slightest injury. We understand that the launch will be made in two or three days. The Pampero is 200 feet long, 25 feet beam, and 16 feet depth of hold, and will accommodate sixty first-class passengers in an elegant saloon aft, besides a large number of second-class pas- sengers in a commodious cabin forward. Her engines have been made by Messrs. Humphreys, Tennant, and Dyke, of Woolwich, and besides being a very handsome, she will be a very fast boat. This company have sold their two smaller vessels, the Braziliera and Lusitania, to the Compagnie des Messageries Imperiale of France, for whom Mr. Laird is also building another fine vessel of 1,300 tons and 250-horse-power, to be called the Jordan. The Braziliera is now in port, and the Lusitania will be handed over to her purchases on arrival here in a few days. Yesterday (Monday) a finely-modelled boat called the Tapajoz, the property of the River Amazon Steam Naviga- tion Company, was launched from the building-yard of Mr. John Laird at the Dingle. The Tapajoz is 210 feet long, 27 feet beam, and 780 tons measurement. She is to have engines of 200-horse-power, by Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, and Co.; her wheels are to be fitted with feather- ing floats ; and as she will, when loaded, have a draft of only seven feet, she is expected to steam very fast. She will have accommodation for a large number of passengers in cabins on the American plan of deck-houses, efficient ventilation being secured by side windows. The Tapajoz will be one of the pioneers of steam navigation on the Amazon, and she will, no doubt, bear A conspicuous part in extending our intercourse with those scarcely-known regions of wealth on the banks of that magnificent river, and in furthering the progress of civilisation into those parts of the world. SIIICIDH AT HIGICHIC TBAlMBRlL—Yesterday morn- ing, the inhabitants of Higher Tranmere were alarmed by a report that a murder had been committed in the neighbourhood. On inquiry it appeared that Mr. Hughes, carrying on business in Liverpool as watchmaker, had been found in his bed-room, Mersey-view, with his throat cut, and a razor lying by his side. The position of the body, however, and the nature of the woundk leave no doubt that the unfortunate man bad committed self- destruction. Information was at once conveyed to Mr. Churton, the coroner, and an inquest will be held, on the body to-day. ]NriocK Aucxioic. On Tuesday, James Hill, a lint manufacturer, of Cazneau-street entered a notorious mink auction-room in Paradise-street, kept by Bernard MacMahon, and was soon " done" out of a silver watch and 10s. for which he received a " gold " watch not worth a sovereign. On finding that he had been duped, he gave- MacMahon into custody on Friday night, but as the case was not sufficient to warrant his detention, Mr. Clough discharged him. Shortly afterwards, Hill and three de- tectives were walking in Paradise-street, when MacMahon came up to them and lifted up his fist to strike Hill, but was prevented by the officers. He was charged at the Police-court, on Saturday, with the assault, and fined £5, or two months' imprisonment. Too SHARP FOB THEIR YIIARS.-At the Birkenhead Police-court, yesterday, Thomas Heap, aged 16, William Jones, 15, William Buckley, and John Hall, 18, were charged by Thomas Carter, collector of the Woodside ferry, with stealing 103. in silver from his stand at the pay-gate. On Sunday afternoon, soon after two o'clock, the prisoners were passing through the turnstile at the Woodside ferry, when one of them seized the opportunity, while the collector's attention was diverted by taking the tolls, to take two five-shilling columns of silver which were piled by the side of the box. He did not discover the theft until after the young rogues had passed on the to the slip. He then rushed down the slip, expecting to overtake them before they got to the boat. To his asto- nishment, however, the youths were not to be seen. He turned round, when he perceived the last of the four going through the return turnstile, where passengers pay in going to Birkenhead. The thieves had, therefore, passed from one toll-gate to the other, expecting to get back into Birkenhead before the money was missed, and when it would be imagined the boat had gone, that they had escaped to Birkenhead. He gave chase, and suc- ceeded in apprehending three of the lads, and the fourth was captured in Liverpool yesterday morning, with the whole of the money upon them. They were remanded generally to give the police time to make inquiries about them at Liverpool VFATIIEB MATTIIEW.—LECTURE IT THE CONCERT- HALL LAST NIGHT.—Mr. Burke, an Irish barrister, and an intimate friend of Father Matthew, gave a lecture, last night, at the Concert-hall, "On the Orators of Ireland," the proceeds of which, it was understood, was to be devoted in aid of the fund now being raised, to enable Father Matthew to reside in Madeira. He is at present the guest of William Rathbone, Esq., of Green Bank. There was a very crowded audience last night. The chair was occupied, by Mr. John Yates, jun., who addressed the meeting at considerable length, in the course of which he highly eulogised Father Matthew for the great services he rendered to his country in bringing about her social regeneration. He concluded by calling upon Mr. Burke, who was au intimate friend of Father Matthew, to give the lecture they were about to hear.—Mr. Burke, on coming forward' was loudly cheered. After a prefatory laudation of Father Matthew, he commenced the subject , of his lecture by pointing out the oratorical beauties of Burke. He next referred to Grattan, Curran, O'Connell, and Moore. The lecturer concluded by passing a warm and eloquent eulogium on Father Matthew; and, before sitting down, he announced that the Earl of Sefton had that day sent a donation of £2O in aid of the fund. (Great cheering.) An address.was here read, which was presented to Father Matthew, in Liverpool, yesterday, by the Liver- pool Roman Catholics, and which was accompanied by a donation of £lOO. .The Chairman as that -11 Temperance Society, Li Marybone, had, yesterday, sent £2o.—Father Matthew sails-to-day in the Ooutb American C9lnPanee 'steamer, . .

THE SOURCES OF HUMAN HAPPINESS AND THE CONDITIONS REQUISITE FOR MAINTAINING IT. "So many hours a day should be dedicated by every indi- vidual in health to the exercise of his nervous and muscular system, in labour calculated to give scope to their functions. The reward of obeying this requisite of his nature would be health and a joyous animal existence; the punishment of its neglect is disease, low spirits, and a premature death. Many persons are able, from experience, to attest the severity of the punishment that follows neglect to exercise the muscular system in the lassitude, indigestion, irritability, debility, and general uneasiness that attend a sedentary life. _ ..

cH.EsHIRE AND 'WALES. COLONEL WILBRAHAM (son of Randle Wilbraham, Esq., of Rodchall, Chester,) was too ill to take any active part in the battle of Alma : his post as Assistant Acljt.- General was taken by Major Lysons, of the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers. Joux BRADBURY, late agent for loan societies at Stalybridge, has been committed for trial at the Chester assizes, charged with forging three several receipts of £2 10s. each, for money which he had received from James Mycock, and should have paid to the clerk of the Liverpool Tradesmen's Loan Society, at Manchester. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAIENAY.—The traffic for the week ending 15th October, 1854, was as follows Passengers, parcels, &c., £3,041 13s. Bd.; steam-boats, £491 18s. sd. ; total, £3,533 12s. ld. Goods, £1,795 ss. sd. Total, including Carnarvon traffic, £5,328 17s. 6d. Cor- responding week last year, passengers, parcels, &c., £2,755 9s. ld.; steam-boats, £441 15s. Od.; total, £3,197 4s. ld. Goods, £1,496145. ld. Total, including Carnarvon traffic, £4,693 18s. 2d. Increase, £634 19s. 4d. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held on Saturday,before Mr. Henry Churton, coroner, on the bodies of two of the children of Mr. Davies, farmer, of Capen- hurst, in the vicinity of Great Saughall, whose deaths had been caused by falling into a boiler of hot whey and meal. The accident took place on Monday week. One of the children survived until the following Thursday, and the other died on Friday, The jury returned a verdict of " accidental death." SifOCSING CASE Or BuliNtgG.—On Thursday some children, whilst amusing themselves on Runcorn-heath, ignited a quantity of gorse, and in playing about the fire a-boy, named William- Hibbert, fouryearsOf age, was acci- dently pushed into the burning mass. His clothes took fire, and before assistance could be obtained he was burned in a dreadful manner.—The bowels of the little sufferer protruded.—His father is a labourer residing at Weston.— Chssier CO urani. REVIVAL or AN OLD COURT.—The Neston wappentake court, which had fallen into disuse for some years, has again been revived, and held its first sitting on Mon- day, at Great Neston. The steward, or judge of the court, is Mr. Morton, attorney, of Liverpool, who has ap- pointed Mr. Robert Grace, attorney, tb be his deputy. Mr. Samuel Spencer, late district officer of the Birkenhead county court, has been appointed high bailiff of the court. The objects of the wappentake court are the recovery Of small debts ; and it will, we hear, besides sitting at Nes- ton, hold adjourned sittings at Birkenhead and Liscard for the convenience of suitors. FIGHTING AT ROCK FERRY.--At the Birkenhead Police- c•lurt, on Thursday, three boatmen, named Joseph Han- son, Thomas Hanson, and Ralph Williams, were sum- moned, at the instance of Mr. Huntriss, of the Rock Ferry Hotel, for being drunk and fighting on Sunday evening. Thomas Hanson stated that he had been sup- plied with sixteen glasses of whisky, on Sunday, at the complainant's house, the effect of which was that he became so drunk that he did not know what he was doing. The other defendants partly corroborated this statement, adding that they were in the habit of getting drink at the complainant's house at any hour on a Sunday, whenever they wanted it.—Mr. Huntriss denied this, and said he never permitted drunkenness in his house, which could be corroborated by the police-officer.—The Rev. R. M. Fielden said it was monstrous that any person should serve such a quantity of drink as that spoken to by Hanson. However, that did not exonerate the defendants from the charge of -fighting. The magistrates then ordered an information against Mr. Huntriss for Sunday trading; and the defendants, Joseph and Thomas Hanson, were ordered to find two sureties in £lO each, or one surety in £2O, to keep the peace for three months. Williams, against whom the charge of fighting was not made out, was dis- charged. M.ATTHEWS3 THE LATE POLICEMAN.—At the Cheshire county sessions, on Monday, Mr. W. T. Egerton said he had been requested by Sir Edward Cust to bring forward a motion of which Sir Edward had given notice, but who was absent in consequence of the illness of a member of his family. It was, " That an annuity of £27 10s. be granted to the widow and children of John Matthews, late an assistant petty constable of the hundred of Wirral, who was killed in the execution of his duty on the 4th Septem- ber, 1854, for so long as Mrs. Matthews shall remain a widow and unmarried." Mr. Egerton said the court was empowered to make the allowance under the constabulary act, and the death of Matthews was really a melancholy one. He had left a widow and five children, the eldest of whom was ten years, and the youngest was eighteen months old. In fixing the annuity, however, the widow only had been considered, and as the court would see from the terms of the motion, she would only be entitled to it whilst she remained unmarried. Mr. Corbett supported the motion, and said encouragements of this sort were desirable, in order to induce the officers to do their duty fearlessly. The motion was agreed to. DENBIGHSHIRE RAILWAY.--At a public meeting, called by the High-sheriff, held in the County-hall, Ruthin, to adopt measures for forming a railway through the Vale of Clwyd, and to connect the mining districts with the great traffic railway, it *as agreed that a line, commencing at Ruabon, and passing by way of Llangollen, Corwen, Ruthin' Denbigh, and St. Asaph to Rhyl, would be the line best suited to the requirements of the district, and most conducive to its interests ; and that it would form a good basis for extending railway communication through the interior of North Wales. A committee having been appointed to organise local committees, it was resolved, "That such local committees be formed in each town and district, through which the line will pass, to collect sub- scriptions for defraying the preliminary expenses of pre- paring the surveys, and the necessary notices for Parlia- ment ; that they communicate the result of their efforts within a fortnight ; and that any sums so subscribed may hereafter be appropriated in part payment of shares if the undertaking proceeds." After a vote of thanks to the cl ' Mr. West, of Ruthin Castle, the meeting irman senarated CHEER= QUARTER SEsstoNs.—The county business was transacted at Knutsford on Monday last. In con- sequence of representations made by different judges, and to avoid the expense entailed by cases being sent to the summer assizes instead of to the quarter sessions, it was resolved that an adjourned sessions shall always be held the week previous to those assizes, and that the April quarter sessions be fixed before the assizes whenever prac- ticable. The following were the estimated demands and receipts at present sessions and adjournments : —Bridges, £350 ; Lock-ups, &c., £BO ; house of correction, £3,000 ; prosecutions at sessions, £3,400; police, £1,700; gaolers, £6OO ; general payments, £4,100; On the credit side : Balance due from treasurer, £3,266 ; arrears of rate, £271 ; balance of county rate, £772; ditto of constabulary rate, £894; from lords of the treasury for maintenance of pri- soners, £7,075 ; River Weaver, £5,000 ; fines, &c., £340; fees, £410; repayment by gaolers, £600; total, £18,629; leaving a credit balance of £5,009. The estimated receipts and demands at the January sessions and adjournment were—Bridges, £350 ; lock-ups, £3O; Chester Castle, general payments, £2,900 ; prosecutions at sessions, £2,400 ; at assizes, £2,200 ; police, £1,790 ; gaolers, £600; general pay- ments, £2,200. On the other side : Balance in hand, £5,009 ; from lords of the treasury, £1,067 ; River Weaver, £4,000 ; fines, &c., £340 ; repayment by gaolers, £6OO ; constabulary rate, £1,747; total, £12,765; showing a balance in favour of the county of £295. A county rate of one farthing was then ordered, which will produce £1,738.

At any rate, there is no ground ntlieving that they will affect any other houses ejta" those immediately interested. It is not un- tie:4on, however, for such occurrences to give to various rumours, the majority of which are -*out the slightest foundotion. kylth reference to the affairs of Messrs. M'llenry CO., it was announced this morning that a L V.,„lllent of the accounts had been prepared by • rY, and would be published in the course of N'lay. 'Upon inquiry of Mr. Fry, that ia, gentle- stated that the accounts would not be pub- ed, nor would he furnish any particulars as to e 7 result of the investigation. We have, how- vo!r, learnt from other sources, that the account ,eh has been prepared shows a dividend of 95., 04 wit Lit is the opinion of some who are acquainted all the affairs of the house, that a very liberal wance has been made for the realisation of Fassets, or the dividend would not be so low.

The accounts from India are hadn unfavourable, and prices have consequently a downward tendency, though the decline has th Yet been but slight. In the Woollen trade is very little doing, as the raw material is kecl for previous prices, and the rates for mann- t 11,epur the goods being unremunerative, more than t}the demand mills are idle, in anticipation of improving kau hosiery by reducing the stock. In the Lace trades there is also very great depres- upg but without any alteration in prices. 40.-tle Corn markets during the week have consi- at'nlY advanced, both for Wheat and Flour, and :ither rise has taken place in the price of bread. otes circumstance occurring so immediately after of the most productive harvests ever remem- §, and for which there was an especial thanks- has naturally created very considerable tiew''isfaction.

The war "4% stopped any supplies from Odessa, and it is dated, that the want of water for the mills in the tiZted States has reduced the stock of flour in ountry.

MANUFACTURES MANCHESTER.—The market remains in a dull and inanimate condition4ind prices are hardly so firm. The advices from abroad, fdr the most part, continue the com- plaint of overstocked markets, whilst want of confidence at home paralyzes, to a considerable extent, the operations of both buyer and seller. Only a very limited business has been done this week ; and, as regards goods especially, it is only because the offer of lower rates would not induce purchases, that reduced prices have not been submitted. The absence of demand for India yarns still continues, and prices are barely firm, although the absence of stocks prevents any material decline. There has been a good demand all week by the Greek houses, and for the Medi- terranean there is also a steady inquiry. The demand for cloth is extremely limited. India goods are almost entirely without inquiry, and though domestics are perhaps as good as anything in the market, it is saying very little thus to describe them. In consequence of the absence of demand for India skirtings, these and 50L.7.0 classes of printers and other goods have become depressed in value to such an extent as to render their production far from remunerative, and as there appears no immediate prospect of any improvement, manufacturers have been compelled to lessen the production by the adoption of short time. Many mills in Blackburn have already adopted this course, and by working only during daylight they have reduced their production about one-third, and work about four days per week. This is not confined to Blackburn, but is also common to that district, including Burnley ; and in those concerns in which short time has not been adopted it will shortly be commenced. In some instances the time of working is reduced to three days per week. ROCHDALE.—The flannel market has not been quite so brisk as for the last weeks ' • but yet a fair amount of business has been transacted. The wool dealers are more willing to sell at former prices than they have been, and the manufacturers buy very sparingly. HUDDERSFIELD.—There have been more buyers in the town, and goods suitable for the season have conse- quently been in rather increased demand. - - LEEDS.—DuII markets at the cloth halls, and business has also been dull with the commission houses, out of the markets, the merchants having bought very freely at the commencement of the season ; and the weather continuing fine, there has been less consumption of winter goods than usual, which seems to be the principal cause of the dulness. The stocks, however, are not large; and, in consequence, the mills continue in active employment, end prices are well maintained. Business has, from the same cause, been dull in the warehouses this week. BRADFORD.—WooI : The purchases of combing wool continue to be made in the most sparing manner, but there is no accumulation of stock in the staplers' hands. The farmers cling to their clips for prices that cannot be given for the worsted trade, and this withholding of stock in the country keeps prices firm here.—Yarns : It is re- ported that several very extensive works are about to be closed; while the stoppage of machinery and short time working of other establishments has reached an extent never kown before. The machinery in actual operation will, ere long, not be one•third of that running at this period in 1852.

Pieces : There is no improvement in the demalicr-for goods, and every day the number of looms idle is on the increase, for there is no disposition to make goods for stock, and the prices now current suggest the necessity of curtailing the supply till a better state of things is apparent.

MUSIC AND TEE DRAMA. , PERCIVAL'S SUBSCRIPTION CONCERTS, BIRKENHEAD. th —The second of this interesting series took place on the evening of Thursday last. The audience was select and fashionable, and the entertainments of an interesting character. The artistes engaged on the occasion were the members of the Liverpool Glee and Madrigal Union, in addition to Mr. Percival and his talented pupil Mr. Radcliffe, the latter of whom performed two solos on the flute. The glees and madrigals were effectively produced, and were accompanied by the society's pianist, Mr. J. Skeaf, jun. Purcell's beautiful round "Yes, brother, yes," and the "Tars song" by Hutton, were charmingly given and rapturously encored: THE GRAND OPERA—THEATRE ROYAL.— On Monday evening the magnificent opera of " Der Freischutz " was repeated in German, the character of Agatha being sus- tained by Madame Rudersdorff, Annette by Mad'lle Sedlazek. Both these characters were well performed on each of the occasions, although preference is decidedly due to the first. As on the preceding Friday, Herr Reichart was advertised on Monday to appear as Max' and as on that occasion his place was again occupied by Herr Zapf, to the considerable disappointment of those who attended in expectation of witnessing the performance of the former gentleman. That he was labouring under an attack of illness, in Manchester, we believe, was only too conclusive a reason for his being unable to appear as a public per- former in Liverpool, and in regretting his unavoidable absence under the circumstances, many will join, who are altogether unable to sympathise with the indiscretion of announcing his appearance a second time, while still labouring under that indisposition which compelled his absence on the preceding Friday. Very recently, Mr. Copeland felt himself justified in publicly replying to accusations brought against him by the anonymous cor- respondent of one of the Liverpool journals. What may have been the nature of the complaints, we have no know- ledge of, never having read the communication referred to, and only guessing at its tenor from Mr. Copeland's answer. The defence was mainly that the engagement of first-class talent is not remunerative in Liverpool, even at the high rates charged for admission, to witness the performance of the grand operas ; but that, by perseverance in produ- cing really good operatic entertainments, he hoped yet to render them remunerative. In this praiseworthy endea- vour we wish him every success, and sincerely hope his most sanguine expectations may be fully realised ; while doing so, however, Mr. Copeland must pardon us for expressing grave doubts as to such repeated announce- ments and substitutions being the best way to assist in bringing about so desirable a result. Parties paying a large price for admission, and to some extent interfering with domestic arrangements, are not likely to be attracted to the theatre, if they learn by experience that implicit reliance is not to be placed on the announcements issued under the authority of the manager. On Friday, Doni- zetti's Opera " La Favorita " was performed for the first time in Liverpool. The house was but indifferently filled. Madame Caradori appeared as Leonore, the music of which she sang with great taste and beauty, combining these quali- ties with powerful execution and appropriate expression. As Inez, Madame Heinrich did not appear to great advan- tage ; her acting seemed tame and forced, and in render- ing the music she laboured, we had almost said, in a sea of troubles. Signor Fortini sang with fire as well as eloquence, and as a whole, his representation of Alphonso was highly creditable to his talent as a vocalist, arid his culture as an operatic artist. The Fernando of Signor 0. Benedetti was correct rather than of a high order. Throughout the opera the orchestra was effective and. powerful, although in several instances there appeared considerable hitches ; and a common understanding did not seem to be well established between the s and the prompter, any more than between the latt__ the conductor of the music. Last night the opera ( " Lucia di Lammermoor " was performed ; and Bee_ thoven's splendid opera of " Fidelio " is announced to be performed on Friday evening, in German. At this theatre, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday evenings, Knowles's play of "William Tell" was performed, the part of William Tell being spiritedly sustained by Mr. Barry Sullivan, whose representation of the hero was in all respects excellent ; his elocution being correct, dignified, and expressive. In addition to the ordinary attractions of the drama, a judicious use was made of the operatic orchestra and chorus, and a large portion of the music of Rossini's "Guillaume Tell" was introduced with happy effect in the course of its performance. The audience, we regret to state, was by no means so numerous as the excellence of the performance ought to have attracted. AT THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE the performances throughout the week have been varied as well as attractive, Mr. Buckstone having appeared nightly in some of his characteristically-droll representations. On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, the leading piece was " The Old Chateau," in which Mr. Buckstone, in his customary humorous manner, sustained the character of Michael Samson, exciting great laughter, and drawing down bursts of merited applause. On Wednesday he repeated his performance of Tom Tittkr, in the " Knights of the Round Table," and on Friday produced, for his benefit, a new drama, entitled " The Hope of the Family," in which he acted the character of Joe Wadd, a youth picked up by a cunning and unprincipled attorney, and by him passed off as the lost son of a baronet. Buckstone's display of vulgar arrogance, cowardice, and low cunning is most admirable, and elicited shouts of laughter. In the after- pieces he has also rendered himself useful as well as attractive, and, aided by the resident company, the per- formances at this house have been satisfactory, and well attended. LIVERPOOL COURT OF BANKRUPTCY --4.-- THE AUSTRALIAN FUGITIVE BANKRUPT LAST week we narrated the capture of Joseph Bernestein, a Prussian, who, having evaded his creditors in Melbourne, and taken passage on board the Saldanha, sailed for Eng- land, carrying with him a large amount of money in sovereigns and bank-notes. The bankrupt, as we stated, was followed to this country by parties representing some of his creditors, who, having obtained the necessary war- rant for his apprehension, placed it in the hands of Mr. Gaskill, one of the chief messengers of the Bankruptcy Court, by whom Bernestein was taken into custody. On Saturday, Bernestein was brought before Mr. Com- missioner Perry, and underwent a long examination. Con- siderable interest having been attached to the case, the court was filled during the greater part of the day. Mr. John Yates appearedfor Messrs. Maunders Brothers and Co., of Melbourne, the detaining creditors; Mr. Squarey was for Mr. Hayes, another Melbourne creditor ; Mr. Evans represented a creditor for over £BOO ; and Mr. Simon as counsel, with Messri. Anderson and Collins as attorneys, were for the bankrupt. The examination of the bankrupt, who is a good-looking young man, under (apparently) 30 years of age, of intelligent and gentlemanly manners, was immediately proceeded with. He is a Prussian, but speaks English fluently, although he stated that he could neither read nor write the language. On being sworn, the bankrupt said : I lived in Melbourne about two years before I left it, which was on the 12th July last; I was in business there as a general merchant and outfitter of all kinds. I took a passage in the ship Sal- danha for England, and did so in the name of Francis Smyth ; I was arrested at the Nelson luggage depdt, when I arrived in Liverpool ; I cannot tell the amount of my liabilities in Australia, but I think about £1.500 ; that in- cludes the claim of Roskell & Co., Maunders & Co., and Mr. Hayes—but I cannot tell, as I have nothing to prove it. I left my books and papers behind me in Mel- bourne, but some I brought with me, books and papers ; I could not take my oath what debts I owe in Australia— people sent in goods to me on commission, and I am not a debtor for them. Mr. Yates : Can you tell us what debts you owe in Australia. Bankrupt: I can't tell, as goods were sent in to me to sell as a broker; if I did not sell them I don't know if I am liable for them ; I can state to the court what goods I left behind unsold; here are invoices there was a lot of bacon worth about £BOO left behind—that was the value sent in to me ; but it was sent to me by a gentleman whom I don't know—l don't know his name ; that was not my property at all. I got a lot of goods from M`Doivell, the invoice for which is £800; that invoice is also here. Mr. Yates : Did you have any more ? Bankrupt : I will show my invoices, but I can do no more; I produce some of M`Dowell's invoices—there are twelve or fourteen casks of brandy in the bonded ware- house, cost 14s. per gallon. Mr. Yates : What property have you left behind ? Bankrupt : Your honour, you have the bills. Where did you leave the property, and with whom? I left them with a Mr. Chapman, who did business for me, and who is well known to Mr. Colley, in Melbourne ; Chapman took the bacon, &c., to Collingwood, which place is joining to Melbourne; [did not get any money on the hams or bacon by way of advance; I gave McDowell a bill for the hams, but it is not yet due. The bill is for £399, and I had it discounted by a friend, and McDowell got the money. Did you have any other property in Australia ? I sent to the diggings £l5O worth of property, to Messrs. Hamilton and Hull, to whom I owed £4O, and told them to sell the goods, pay themselves, and send the goods and the rest to the Bank of Australia. There are bills out that are due to me, payable at my house, not at the Bank —one from Mr. Atkins, £lOO, a spirit grocer, payable at the Bank. Mr. Chapman has the bill. A man named Austin, a dealer about town, for every one there is a dealer, owes me £4O. There are other small debts, but I cannot recollect them. I cannot state the names of per- sons with whom I had dealings for four months before I left Melbourne, but as far as I can recollect them, they were M`Dowell, Austin, Clerk, John Hare, and Mr. Hayes. I cannot recollect any more. I cannot take my oath to it. There may be small things ; the above are all the large accounts I owe. Rostrom and Co. are creditors for goods, partly sold, and partly there yet. The bankrupt then proceeded to say that, as well as he remembered, he had goods to the following amount in June last :—From Tennant and Co., £lO9 ; from Mr. Womb, £l6 ; ditto, £105; ditto, £l2l. I had a good deal of money in the Bank. I sent a cheque to the Bank before I left for £l,OOO but I did not get it. I had not so much there. I got over £6OO in sovereigns out of the Bank. Mr. Yates : What has become of it ? Bankrupt : I purchased 3,035 sheep from a squatter near Melbourne, at 255. 6d. per head, two months before that. He (the squatter) was to get a deposit of £1,000; and the remainder in two months' bills. I sent for butchers, who examined the sheep, and said they were not worth half the money, and I was obliged to pay them £lOO for driving the sheep to Melbourne. He (bankrupt) went on to account for the £6OO which he alleged to have drawn from the bank, but in doing so he accounted for a good deal more. He had paid, he said, £l2O for his pas- sage and that of Mary Ward (who was his housekeeper for two months in Melbourne before he left) to England, and also £2O for refreshments; he spent £lO or £l2 since he came here, and now, he added, producing a purse and laying five half-sovereigns on the table, "there is all the money I have in the world, and you may take it from me, and let me starve." His housekeeper passed, on the voy- age home, as Clara Smyth, his wife. His object in getting out of the ship so early in the morning was to get on to London as quick as possible. Mr. Yates : Did you pay out any money since you came to Liverpool? Bankrupt : Yes ; I paid £l6O to Messrs. Anderson and Collins ; that was in notes. I got the notes from the girl—my housekeeper—changed sovereigns for notes; I did not give her the sovereigns, as she had all, and I told her to Wing me notes for gold. I am quite sure of that.

THE SOURCES OF HUMAN HAPPINESS AND THE. CONDITIONS REQUISITE FOR MAINTAINING IT. `l§O many hours a day should be dedicated by every indi- vidual in health to- the exercise of his nervous and muscular system, in labour calculated to give scope to their functions. The reward of obeying this requisite of his nature would be health and a joyous animal existence; the punishment of its neglect is disease, low spirits, and a premature death. Many persons are able, from experience, to attest the severity of the punishment that follows neglect to exercise the muscular system in the lassitude, indigestion, irritability, debility, and general uneasiness that attend a sedentary life.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. 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 iu Lieutenant ROYER, 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 tgte a tgte 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 DOGBERRY 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 u, set 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 1811, 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 then, 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 afterwaixls became connected with the Morning Herald, for which he wrote political leaders, and,-at a mote 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- ment 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 I 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 publishing circles are again hunched upon the foggy ocean of Law's " glorious uncertainty," in respect to the greatly vexed question of "foreign copyright." A legal 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 ' In the meantime, the when doctors disagree ?' practical effect of that decision has been great, numerous cheap reprints, particularly of American books, have been ed and very extensively circulated in tb country This invasion of the 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 meum and teem, 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 se unauthorised drafts on the somewhat liberal bank of public credulity" has been dishonoured by non-accep - It was to the effect that the cheap re-issue of BULNVER'S novels had been found not to ans r, 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 blossoms to grace the advent of its antipodean summer. Already the great 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 Iral 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 more gene, 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 minutia 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. JERROLD 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 carricatured in Punch. If KEAN was galled by Punch, JE►ROLD 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 nd 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 Mr. Monais 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. popula Adelphi, 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 FOSTAGR.—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. WARDS of 700 tons of fleecy hosiery,- consisting of under-waistcoats, drawers, 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 HOSTELEIE.—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. Han MAJESTY'S NEW YACHT.—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 beet 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 lines have evidently been laid with care and judgment, and pro- Ill'Ete great speed, while her immense length, more than 100 yards, and proportionate beam, will secure ample accommodation, not only to Royalty, but also 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. cing re PERCIVAL'S SUBSCRIPTION CONCERTS, BIRKENHEAD. —The second concert of this interesting series took place on the evening of Thursday last. The audience was select and fas ' table, and the entertainments of an interesting c ter. The artistes engaged on the occasion were t members of the Liverpool Glee and Madrigal Union, in addition to Mr. Percival and his talented pupil Mr. Radcliffe, the latter of whom performed two solos on the flute. The glees and madrigals were effectively produced, and were accompanied by the society's pianist, Mr. J. Skeaf, jun. Purcell's beautiful round " Yes, brother, yes," and the " Tars song" by Hutton, were charmingly given and rapturously encored. THE GRAND OPERA—THEATRE ROYAL.— On Monday evening the magnificent opera of "Der Freischutz " was repeated in German, the character of Agatha being sus- tained by Madame Rudersdorff, Annette by Mad'lle Sedlazek. Both these characters were well performed on each of the occasions, although preference is decidedly due to the first. As on the preceding Friday, Herr Reichert was advertised on Monday to appear as Max, and as on that occasion his place was again occupied by Herr Zapf, to the considerable disappointment of those who attended in expectation of witnessing the performance of the former gentleman. That he was labouring under au attack of illness, in Manchester, we believe, was only too conclusive a reason for his being unable to appear as a public per- former in Liverpool, and in regretting his unavoidable absence under the circumstances, many will join, who are altogether sable to sympathise with the indiscretion of announcing his appearance a second time, while still labouring under that indisposition which compelled his absence on the preceding Friday. Very recently, Mr. Copeland felt himself justified in publicly replying to accusations brought against him by the anonous cor- respondent of one of the Liverpool journals. What may have been the nature 'of the complaints, we have no know- ledge of, never having read the communication referred to, and only guessing at its tenor from Mr. Copeland's answer. The defence was mainly that the engagement of first-class talent is not remunerative in Liverpool, even at the high rates charged for admission, to witness the performance of the grand operas; but that, by perseverance in produ- "y good operatic entertainments, he hoped yet to In this praiseworthy endea- render theni remunerat: he was I your we wish him ever: success; and sincerely hope his most sanguine expectations' niay be fully realised ; while doing so, however, 'Mr. Copeland must pardon us for expressing grave doubts as to such repeated announce- ments and substitutions being the best way to assist in bringing abcut so desirable a result. Parties paying a large price for admission, and to some extent interfering with domestic arrangements, are not likely to be attracted to the theatre, if they learn by experience that implicit reliance is not to be placed on the announcements issued under the authority of the manager. On Friday, Doni- zetti's Opera " La Favorita " was performed for the first time in,Liverpool. The house was but indifferently filled. Madame Caradori appeared as Leonore, the music of which she sang with great taste and beauty, combining these quali- ties with powerful execution and appropriate expression. As Inez, Madame Heinrich did not appear to great advan. tage ; her acting seemed tame and forced, and in rende- ing the music she laboured, we had aln 'd, in a iorse, of troubles. Signor Fortini sang with fire •'s we' Most said, in a sea eloquence, and as a whole, his representation of Alphonso was highly creditable to his talent as a vocalist, and his culture as an operatic artist. The Fernando of Signor 0. Benedetti was correct rather than of a high order. Throughout the opera the orchestra was effective and powerful, although in several instances there appeared considerable hitches ; and a common understanding did not seem to be well established between the scene shifters and the prompter, any more than between the latter and the conductor of the music. Last night the opera of " Lucia di Lammermoor " was performed ; and Bee- thoven's splendid opera of " Fidelio " is announced to be performed on Friday evening,in German. At this theatre, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday evenings, Knowles's play of " William Tell" was performed, the part of William Tell being spiritedly sustained by Mr. Barry Sullivan, whose representation of the hero was iu all respects excellent; his elocution being correct, dignified, and expressive. In addition to the ordinary attractions of the drama, a judicious

GE.XEI?AL INTELLIGEYCE. 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 85 per cent. 'Ntz Cuoss licrp THE CBESCENT.—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. TnE BEARD MOVEMENT.—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. Isisc TOIIISSAINT LOUVERTITRE, 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 PARLTA.MRNT.—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 CHELTENHA3d PAPER 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 JUVENILE GARDENBRS.—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. PRIIMINENT T-owss are rising at the Victoria gold- diggings. The ,Bendigo "diggings" will soon be super- seded by the " City of Sandhnrst ;" the land is beine, 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. D;NGEROITS SPORT.—While one of the Brothers Braquet, an acrobat of great renown in the south of France, was recently amusing his audience at Bordeaux, 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. COPYRIGHT.—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 him. FORZiEBY.—The 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 was 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. EXTRAORDINARY BURGLIRT.—Even Regent-street, it seems, is not safe from burglars. Jewellery to the value, it is said, of £1,500, was stolen on Sunday last week, from the premises of Mr. Burngart. 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. TILE NEW RULER, O➢ EGYPT.--Said Pasha, says 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-derant 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 RusstlN PRIM—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, she 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 tictickness. The forts are to be mounted with cannon. The vessels are to be of 1,300 tons burden, and will be as strong as iron and wood can make them. The decks are to be eight inches thick. It is believed that these formidable constructions are intended for the Baltic. THE LATH FISH AT NEWCASTLB.—It is now ascer- 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. CONSERYATtVB LAND SOCIETY. The twenty-second public drawing for rights of choice took plans 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 Tuubridg►e 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. - TICE -COMMON. LAW PROCEDURE ACT of last session (17th and 18th Victoria, chap. 125) comes into force this day. It is entitled, "An Lct 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 the 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 party refuses or is unwilling to be sworn, when the judge is satisfied of the sincerity of the objection.

REMA.BILLBLE TURF 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 Cwsarewich by Muscovite! _ . . Tux TILEASURT.—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. LIE RULING PASSION.—Since the news of the late victory has arrived, applications for admissions into the army have increased nearly tenfold. A PIitOMISING 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 Whiy. • LONGEVITY.—On the 7th of October, Mrs. Susan Iblett died at Weybread, in the county of Suffolk, aged 101 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. EXETRIi DIOCESAN TRAINING COLLEGR.—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. AN M.P. IN A. CAST.—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. V BIIRNT 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 231 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 stranv concurrence of the three new-years' days has never happened before, and will not be witnessed again for thousands of years. Corrox FISHING 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. Trin 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. THE ARCTIC COURTS-MARTIAL.—At the courts-mar- tial held at Sheerness, on the officers of the Arctic squad- ron, Captain McClure, 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. Ax INTERESTING GROUP OF EIIIGRANTS.—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 jime in which they would be present at the public worship of God in their own country. The little fellows wergdeeply 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 let 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 £20,619 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.—ThQmas 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. TIIN QUEEN OV ENGLAND AND TUB KING OP Pon• 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 as if they were her own children. On one occasion, little Dou 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. EXTEADEDINARY SUICIDE BY Two SISTEIN.-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 iu 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 au 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 them. 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 as industrious girls of good character.
