I.RELAAD, A SAD F MTLY.-A child, aged three years, belonging to a woman named Henry, died near Toome, Ireland, a few days ago, from intoxication ! The grandmother, mother, and aunt of the child were all drunk at the same time.—Northern Whig. KING'S Courrry.—The other day, a body of men, armed with bludgeons, entered the house of a lady, and severely beat a servant man. One of the women servants was so frightened that she died the day following. THE RAILWAY OUTRAGE.—The inquiry into the cir- cumstances of the recent attempt to overthrow the rail- way train at Trillick, terminated in the verdict of wilful murder against Hugh Harkin, John Moran, William Flanagan, Body Murphy, William Harkin, and Francis M`Mahon, and against Patrick Lynch as accessory before the act. THE PATRIOTIC FurgD.—The inhabitants of Cork have been the first in Ireland to respond to the call for the formation of a patriotic fund for the relief of the widows and orphans of the soldiers who may fall in the eastern campaign. The Mayor of Cork has fixed this day for a public meeting. THE larsn MILITIA enrolment, now about to com- mence, has created no small stir, and trade will, no doubt, derive considerable advantage from the expenditure of money consequent upon the clothing and equipment of so large a force as 30,000 men. It is stated that the city of Limerick militia have received a notification from the authorities to the effect that three companies of the regi- ment, upon its next enrolment, will be armed and equipped as artillery. This corps it was which, under the late Lord Gort, then Colonel Vereker, won at the battle of Coloony a name and reputation which will long be remembered as not the least brilliant in the military annals of Great Britain. The "City of Limerick" is commanded by the Hon. Colonel Vereker, a grandson of the nobleman above-mentioned. The following regulations with respect to the organisation of the Irish militia will be carried into effect :—All old captains and subalterns are to retire, but are to have the privilege of retaining their regimental rank and of wearing their uniform. Lieutenants and ensigns who served in the militia when they were last embodied, and who, therefore, have been receiving half-pay, are to have the same continued to them on their retiring. No captains or subalterns to be appointed in future who are not active young men. Adjutants of militia regiments not to be more than 36 years of age, and must have served in the army for some years. TUB NEWCASTLE FIRES.—The subscription for the relief of the sufferers by this sad calamity promises to be among the most municificent ever collected in this country. Up to Friday morning it amounted to above £7,000, and among the subscriptions sent in we observed, the Earl of Carlisle, MOO ; the Duke of Northumberland, £lO5 ; and subscriptions from working men in all parts of the country. 357 families have been relieved by the committee, who are also exerting themselves in providing furniture and dwell- ings for the poor creatures burnt out. We are informed that the claims sent in for losses are of the most modest description, and the gratitude of the poor for the timely relief afforded them is most affecting. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.—Friday being the day to which Parliament stood prorogued, the House of Lords met for the purpose of the Lords Commissioners, in the name of the Queen, continuing the prorogation until Thursday, the 16th of November next. The Lords Com- missioners present were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyll, and Earl Granville. As usual on these occasions. a large number of ladies and their friends were present, being admitted as spectators behind the bar ; but the ceremony being of so simple and formal a character, no interest whatever can be created. The Lords Commis- sioners having taken their seats in front of the throne, and Sir Denis Le Marchant, chief clerk, and other officers of the house, as the representatives of Her Majesty's most faithful Commons, having arrived, Mr. ShaW Lefevre, deputy clerk of the house, read the commission, proroguing Parliament until Thursday, the 16th of November next. The Lord Chancellor then, in the usual manner, in the name of Her Majesty, declared Parliament prorogued to that day accordingly, Their lorelehips then rose r.ad retired.

Christians riauty nsea tue language or love ana oI xinuness, a that kindness he was persuaded had been instrumen in breaking down the prejudices which had separate, Jews from Christians. Trodden down and oppress( they have been, can we wonder that t' eye shown le- yeg eat All w-Ould rememl that poor TOpsy was buffetted scorn ec feeling. Nobody cared for her, and she hated everybody. When spoken to by the gentle Eva, who assured her that she loved her, the poor outcast burst into tears and expressed herself as happy and thankful. So it might be said of the Jews, so long'. they have been treated with contumely and cruelty, they felt resentment ; that resentment melted before the glow of kindly feeling. He concluded by moving the adoption of the resolution. The Rev. Dr. AINEILE rose with much satisfaction to the proposition which Mr. Parry had proposed, namely, that the report be adopted, printed, and circulated under the direction of the committee. He thought that if this society were looked npon merely as a missionary one, if they confined themselves to its plain and simple second operation, as suggested by his lordship, they must clearly admit that there was no society in existence so largely supported ; for while the object of the society is the conversion of six or seven millions of persons, the object of the General Missionary Society is the conversion of six hundred millions of i Looking, then, at it merely was no society which received one-tenth the support that it did. It was a remarkable fact. If they received £2,0,000 a-year for preaching to six hundred Millions of pecipl how much (you mathematicians) would it be to each (Hear, and laughter.) Gentlemen might smile ibis, but it was a very important matter ; and he mentioned it because he believed it was a practical proof that in addition to the plain, simple, practical view of the institution, Mr. Simeon, when asked to explain how it was that so much more in proportion was required for this society, said he must candidly confess that if it were only a missionary society there seemed very disproportionate incomes; but the Society for Promoting Christianity amongs t the Jews contained another element—for Lefore they could make much progress with their 600,000,000 of people, some- thing must be done with the 6,000,000 ; and he claimed, therefore, their labour and assistance for this society first—to the Jew first. It had pleased God that, as in everything, there should be a national pre-emi- nence here—a national pre-eminence in the first lane, and he also believed that there would be a national pre- eminence at the last, and that it was a feeling of this sort that had contributed very largely, indeed, to produce the feeling in this christian community, which accounted for the fact that this society, with its 6,000,000 of people, would require so large a support as £30,000 a year. The Jewish nation, in whatever position contemplated, —whether in its present condition, its pr.st history, or future destiny, was full of lively interest in every enlightened and well-informed spiritital-mindal Christian. And 1,1 their pre- sent position they were sinners—sinners indeed—and they were called by all the most barbarous names that could be given so sinners. Their characteristics were cunning, covet- ousness, mid extortion. Then as sinners they claimed for them -the glorious Gospel of Christ, whose chief characteristics met at once those greatest of human wants, the forgiveness of sins. Every false religion reserved the forgiveness of sins to the Inst—required something first—required a character first —works to be done, sufferiogs to be endured. and sacrifices to be offered, in order at laet to procure forgiveness of sires. Heathenism, Mahometanisin, Deiro9, Itomanisin, and tioci- nianisin. however widely differing in other things, agreed in this—they dem:nded some sort of service in order to procure forgiveness of sins at last. This was the order of nature— the order of failure—the order of hell. (dear, hear, hear.) Only the GoEpet n versed this order. It proclaimed for- giveness of sins first, in order that by forgiveness bestowed, and forgiveness enjoyed, character may be produced. (Hear, hear, hear.) Then. with regard to their past history, all the great events connected with it were as samples to ail future time—the JevNish records containing, in fact, the Christian primitle. There was striking example for them to ponder well upon i.i the declension of the Jews. They had a plain distinct command from God, that, when they went into their promised Lunt. they should make no league with the per,' but should drive diem all out. They found there peolile will- ing to live at peace with them, and asking to be per- mitted to remain in the country, professing peace towards them. They allowed these people to remain, as was stated in the Ist chapter of Judges, and what was the consequence? Those people became snares to them, and traps, leaning them into idolatry; and in the next chapter they read that the Israelites began to worship Baal, and for- sook the Lord God. Was not this instructive? Had they God's word for a- me duty, and had they some reasonable argument against it ? Look at the reasonable arguments; fur instance, as to toe Sabbath being the only day on which the poor could have relaxation. Kindness would say let this and that solace be open ,to them; but then there was God's commandment against it. Then God had spoken plainly about the ti-e of images in worship; and arguments had been used showing how reasonable, how quiet, how peaceful, how kind, how affectionate, how full of good-humour, certain people were, as reasons for allowing them to have their own way. But we not only allowed them to have their owl, way—that they must do on their own responsibility—hut we even helped them to make ase of images in public worship. Now this he believed to be one of the great snares of this nation. It was bringing the anger of God upon a nation professing to wor- ship Him. it they not only allowed and tolerated, but connived at what 1-k had forbidden,—training and paying for the sup- port of teachers of what God had forbidden, and of what they had themse:ves forsworn as offensive to God. (Cheers.) lie thought these Jewish records conveyed one of the striking symbols of condemnation to England tor putting her hand in her treasury for the support of the College of May- nooth, and other evils. (Cheers.) After tracing the future destiny of Israel, as prophesied in tile Holy Writings, the Rev. Canon concluded by seconding the resolution, which was carried nevi. dis. The Rev. J. C. R. RI ICHARDT moved the second resolution as follows : "That this meeting, recognizing the peculiarelaims of the House.of Israel upon the sympathies of the Christian Church, desire to express their unalterable attachment to the prin- ciples upon which this society is founded, and their devout thankfulness to Almighty God for .the measure of blessing which has rested upon its operations at house and abroad." He expressed the gratification he experienced at seeing so many assein,ded in support of the cause of Jewish conversion. It was a cause which might be truly called a blessed one. The whole Bible is filled ~y the covemoits made by God with his chosen people, the children of Israel. It was gratifying to Mull& society established iu our owuChurch, having for its object the conversion of that chosen people, the Jews. This society liaff'done touch good; but some yesirs since it had had been placed under great difficulties, in consequence of having undertaken operations beyond its pleat's. To remedy this, it ,became necessary to curtail the ope- rations of the society; but by great exertions these Mdi- cultic,' had been•so-,far overcome, and gradually a isinkint: fund had been instituted to constitute a floating capital to meet the p..rticular exigeocies, that the society's work might go on prosperously. . This, though a wise measure, was not sufficient to carry on the work of the society. •The means adopted for carrying on dint stork was by the circulation of the Old and New Testaments. In the Hebrew, the Scriptures are very expensive apd encumbered with notes. The society considering it desirable that the Jews should have the:Word of God vviihout note or comment, it has .accordingly had two editions published, two beautiful. and correct editions, which bythe Jews themselves are believed anti admitted be the best to be met with. These editions are used in the Synagogues all over the WOlld. The of these had inspired the Jews with confidence.. This confidence . has induced and enabled 'the society to introduce the prayer- book and (lie tiew testament into the hands of the Jews, and for the purpose of enabling this to be done, these bcoks hi it been also translated into Scriptural Hebrew. The introduc tion of these latter, particularly the prayer-book, had been found most efficacious in conveying the truths of Christi- anity to the Jews. Reference bad been made to the schools in the Duchy of Posen, and it had been truly stated that upwards of 600 cliiiiiren were in attendance upon the schools there ; but it had been omitted to ..e weiationed that, since .the institution of these schools, upwards of 2,000 children of Hebrew parentage .had been admitted to these schools, and had received Christian education. Nearly 13,000 converted Jews had been In different parts of the word turned to Christianity, and fully 2,000 of these were resident -in London, and a large proportion of the whole laid been C9ll-

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.

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 unprecedeutedly 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 77-1 days, mean time. _ .

On O 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-west breero blowing at the time, and by noon of the 21st, 1168 miles 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 W., fresh westerly and southwesterly breezes were experienced, and the ship went nobly along, seldom logging less 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 days, until the yards and sails bad been replaced. From the Ist to the Bth September, fine westerly winds were expe- rienced, and the ship averaged close Ppon 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 and N.N.E. windstwere 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 fire 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, hi lat. 10 N., lon. 34 W., gentle N.E. trade winds were experienced, which continued until the 10th, in lat. 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 sprang up, which con- tinued until her arrival off the Old Head of Kinsale, at 4. a.m. on Sundy. 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. in. Holyhead Light was passed ; and at 10 30 p.m., the ship was abreast Point Lynas, 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 passengers, 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, nuking a course 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 attended by upwards of one hundred of the principal ladies and gentlemen at Melbourne. The ship John Banks sailed from Melbourne for. Lon- don on the 15th August, with a large amount 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 £136,504,) 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 Guirelian' s" tates that new gold- diggins 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, was also gazetted. A Geelong paper, of the 18th, says, "The digging gene- rally are reported at present as rather inactive. The un- usually dry winter is evidently telling in a very great degree against the general yield of gold.

Viewed in reference light on iffice, the labours of the society are well directed, and, as their results show, they are worthy of high commendation. Fraser's Magazine for Town, and Country. Lou. don- : John- W. Parker & Son The October number of this excellent periodical has many claims on public attention, derived from the merits of the contributions which enrich its pages. Its miscellaneous contents are character- zed by vigorous and me ent thought In the political department, its papers are marked by sound principles and cogent reasoning ; while the lighter articles are smart as well as savoury. Among several papers of a serious character, the one which closes the number, " The Russian Army second paper," is peculiarly seasonable at the present juncture. As is implied in its title, it is supplementary, to one which appeared in the August number of the same periodical. It con- tains a numerical exposition of the Russian military strength, and proves by the aid of arithmetical figures that the aggressive power of Russia is greatly inferior to the position which of late years s been customary to assign to it. Every day's ence tends to confirm the truth of the views exhibited by the writer in Frazer, whose argu- ments, forcible and conclusive though they are, are so dependant on details of enumeration as to unfit them, in a great degree, for popular extract, yet, they are well deserving of careful and minute study. experi€ The Dublin University Magazine. Dublin : James MC.GlasLan. The October number of the Dublin is par- ticularly strong in those delightful snatches of poetry mixed up with gleams and radiant masses of poetical prose which have long constituted a leading as well as a charming feature of its contents. Conspicuous among those intellectual feasts may be mentioned " Gleanings in Corn Fields," and " Our Harvest Home." The latter is a peculiarly rich bouquet, embracing specimens of, and clever stric- tures on, several of the budding and blossoming poets of the day on both sides of the Atlantic. In sound literary taste and critical acumen, combined with interesting original matter, the Dublin holds vigorously on in the intellectual position it has so long and so honourably maintained. Hogg's Instructor. Edinburgh : James Hogg. This people's periodical continues to court and to deserve popular favour. Its contents are varied and generally pleasing as well as instructive. In the number for October, a querulous observer, or inimical critic might take exception to the pre- dominancy of didactic lore with which its pages are furnished, if not crowded; still there is abund- ance of light and racy variety to sustain its repu- tation as a popular serial. The Statist, a Magazine of Statistical and Ac- tuarial Information. London : C. Mitchell. This is not only a new periodical ; but it is fur- thermore one devoted to the culture of a science, almost entirely new in its arrangements, at least in. this country. It aims at communicating authen- tic intelligence relative, in an especial degree, to vital statistics, and those social phenomena which fall more immediately under consideration of the actuary, although it does not confine itself particu- larly to those objects. So far as can be judged by the first number, the objects sought seem to be ju- diciously followed out. lOL was first invented and used to stain the cheeks tidies of Arabia, 95() years ago.

As an epitomised chronicle of arious delusions by which men have practised m the credulity of themselves and others, this ustory of magic deserves the attention of all who could seriously understand some of the most dinary phases of misguided intellect.

By Hume and Smollett, and the Rev. T. S. Hughes, B.D. London : George Bell. of Enq, The sixth and seventh volumes of this very isome reprint have just been issued. The sixth e completes the History of England up to evolution of 1688, and finishes that portion of the work which is from the pen of Hume. The seventh volume opens with a brief but well-consi- dered biographical memoir of Smollett, and in eight chapters advances the history from the accession of William and Mary to the middle of 1706, concluding with an outline of the Treaty of Union between England and Scotland, in the reign Both volumes, like their predeces- carefullyand accurately printed from a clear type, and on good paper.

This beautiful and comprehensive edition of Cowper's works, together with the admirable biography of the poet by Southey, has now reached its fifth volume (the one before us), other three volumes completing the set. This volume, besides a large proportion of the miscellaneous poems and. minor translations, contains the " Table Talk" and the " Olney Hymns." It is also embellished by eight beautifully engraved plates, chiefly illustrative This elegant reprint of the works of the " Christian Poet," par excellence, and of his cor- respondence, together with the invaluable biogra- phy by Southey, is at once a cheap and delightful addition to the library of the middle and upper classes, while the convenient form of its serial issue brings it readily within reach of those of only LoCerate means Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire.

The papers contained in it, all of which have been read at the various mee devoted to a variety of su ings of the bieets less or _ connected with the county and the and are adapted to throw light on the his- tory of the district, and to afford ready means to the general historian in elucidating points of difficulty, or unravelling doubtful facts. Viewed in reference to such an office, the labours of the society are well directed, and, as their results show, they are of high commendation. Fraser's Magazine for Town and Country. Lon- don: John W. Parker & Son The October number of this excellent periodical has many claims on public attention, derived from the merits of the contributions which enrich its pages. Its miscellaneous contents are character- ized by vigorous writing and independent thought. In the political department, its papers are marked by sound principles and cogent reasoning ; while the lighter articles are smart as well as savoury. Among several papers of a serious character, the one which closes the number, " The Russian Army second paper," is peculiarly seasonable at the present juncture. As is implied in its title, it is supplementary, to one which appeared in the August number of the same periodical. It con- tains a numerical exposition of the Russian military strength, and proves by the aid of arithmetical figures that the aggressive power of Russia is greatly inferior to the position which of late years it has been customary to assign to it. Every day's experience tends to confirm the truth of the views exhibited by the writer in Frazer, whose argu- ments, forcible and conclusive though they are, are so dependant on details of enumeration as to unfit them, in a great degree, for popular extract, yet, they are well deserving of careful and minute study. The Dublin University Magazine. Dublin : James MEGlashan, The October number of the Dublin is par- ticularly strong in those delightful snatches of poetry mixed up with gleams and radiant masses of poetical prose which have long constituted a leading as well as a charming feature of its contents. Conspicuous among those intellectual feasts may be mentioned " Gleanings in Corn Fields," and " Our Harvest Home." The latter is a peculiarly rich bouquet, embracing specimens of, and clever stric- tures on, several of the budding and blossoming poets of the day on both sides of the Atlantic. In sound literary taste and critical acumen, combined with interesting original matter, the Dublin holds vigorously on in the intellectual position it has so long and so honourably maintained. Hogg's Instructor. Edinburgh : James Hogg. This people's periodical continues to court and to deserve popular favour. Its contents are varied and generally pleasing as well as instructive. In the number for October, a querulous observer, or inimical critic might take exception to the pre- dominancy of didactic lore with which its pages are furnished, if not crowded; still there is abund- ance of light and racy variety to sustain its repu- tation as a popular serial. The Statist, a Magazine of Statistical and Ac- tuarial Information. London : C. Mitchell. This is not only a new periodical ; but it is fur- thermore one devoted to the culture of a science, almost entirely new in its arrangements, at least in this country. It aims at communicating authen- tic intelligence relative, in an especial degree, to vital statistics, and those social phenomena which fall more immediately under consideration of the actuary, although it does not confine itself particu- larly to those objects. So far as can be judged by the first number, the objects sought seem to be ju- diciously followed out. ALCOHOL was first invented and used to stain the cheek +he ladies of Arabia, 950 years ago.

M`lver's vessels ; and that, on ascertaining this, Mr. Shaw had pointed the fact out to the plaintiff, and requested him to return the money. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 405., without costs. BREACH OP CONTRACT, PORTER 21. GIBBON.— plaintiff his interest lane, of which he had fhe cietennant as in a public-house a leas to forty sh Mr. Shand and prove the rental allowed London 1 that YESTERDAY, Matthew Gantt, Esq., the barrister appointed to revise the list of voters for the Southern Division of Cheshire, held a court at the Town-hall, Bir- kenhead, for the purpose of revising the list of voters whose qualifications arise out oft property within the township of Birkenhead. Mr. Bremner, solicitor, instructed by Mr. Jenkin, of Birkenhead, appeared for the Conservatives, and Mr. Bretherton, solicitor, for the Radicals. There were 93 laims altogether, and 57 objections, including the objections made to new claims. The Con- servatives made 24 claims, and ;the Radio*ls 28 (new claims). The objections made by the Radicals were 14. The Conservatives only made one objection, in addition to the objections to the new Radical claims before alluded to, and that was to Mr. Edward Cardwell, M.P., which, as will be seen, from what is stated below, was afterwards withdrawn. . The list of claims were first gone through, and were all allowed, with the exception of a claim made by Mr.Edwd. Greenwood Kaye, which was struck out in consequence of the residence of the claimant not being in accordance with the Act of Parliament. After the list of claims had been gone through, the objections were proceeded with. Mr. Bretherton, on the part of the Radicals, objected to Messrs. Jas. Bourne, Raymond W. Houghton, Samuel Holme, James Holme, John Buck Lloyd, Francis Shand, Thos. Headlam Duckworth, Thos. Sands, John Abraham Tinnie, and Charles Turner, whose names appeared on the register as the joint owners of a house in Camden-street, )laintilf having Birkenh--' Mr. Tinnie was present to answer the objection' on behalf of all these gentlemen. He was examined at some length by Mr. Bretherton, with the view of showing that the nett rental arising from the property did not amount to forty shillings a-year each; but Mr. Tinnie showed that it amounted to much more, the annual rent of the property being £4O, out of which the ordinary deduction only had to be made. The Revising Barrister, on hearing Mr. Tinnie's evidence, overruled the objection, and retained all the votes. Mr. Tinnie here stated to the court that he noticed Mr. Edward Cardwell was objected to as owner of a house in Camden-street. He (Mr. Tinnie) was ready to appear for him. 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 be 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 whomll am associated The Barrister.—ln what way ? At the Board of Trade ? (Loud laughter.) Mr. Tinnier No, Sir, as joint-owner of the house. The Barrister.—l see. - The objection to the Right Hon. Gentleman was then withdrawn. Mr. Alexaude" d, whose name appeared on the list as part-owner of a house in Back eliester-street; was objected to by Mr. Bretherton, on the ground that Mr. Shand's annual interest in the propeity did not amount his agent, Mr. Hughes, were examined, , after paying all deductions, his share of nore than forty shillin .year.—Vote 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 notlreel justified in allowing costs, inasmuch as Mr. Shand's agent was present, and there was no necessity for Mr. Shand to have come from 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.

During the last few years more attention has been shown to the cultivation of the Coffee Plant in the Island of Ceylon, which has caused a considerable increase in the pro- duction, and a very great improvement in the quality. The Board of Customs returns now clearly show that more than two-thirds of all the Coffees consumed in England are the production of Ceylon, and are chiefly sold to the Con- sumers in this country under a different character, and at much higher prices than is. 2d. per lb. Our observations respecting this class of Coffee may lead some Family Purchasers to think that we recommend cheap• ness and disregard quality; but our great aim is to select carefully such as must please the customers, the price being fixed so as to insure an increasing demand. Families who study economy in household expenditure will find that, owing to the reasonable Price of this Coffee, they can afford to use it more freely.

PROVISIONS LIVERPOOL, OCT. 20.—There is a fair demand for beef at steady prices, and the stock is now so much re- duced as to leave no great assortment for selection, hence holders of good qualities are very firm. In pork the transactions have been limited, also from want of suitable qualities; fine American would bring an advance, but of such the market is quite bare. Bacon, though not active, is in fair retail demand, and prices are well supported. From present appearances the stock now on hand is likely to be all required before new can come forward in quantity. A very strong speculative demand having set in for lard, prices have advanced is 6d to 2s per cwt., and sales are reported on the spot and to arrive to the extent of 1,800 to 2,000 tons. Cheese is in moderate demand, at steady rates, and the late arrivals are well cleared off. OCT. 23.—There was a good inquiry for Butter last week, and business to a fair extent transacted since our last report. The high rates which continue to be paid in Ire- land, and the small stocks held here, cause holders to be firm at the quotations. Waterford, Carrick, and Clon- mel, 98s to 101 s ; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wexford, 968 to 99s ; Belfast, 96s to 98s ; Sligo and Limerick, 92s to 96s ; and pickled Cork 2nds, 86s per cwt. landed.

A similar attempt is said to have been made at another warehouse during the previous Saturday night or Sunday, without serious consequences. HEALTH or THE TOwiv.—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 George, 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 last 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. Conor, 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 £97 103. lid. 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. STEAM 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 LANCISECIEB MILITIA.—An interesting scene was witnessed on Saturday week, in Cambridge barracks, Portsmouth, the quarters of the Ist Royal Lancashire Militia. They were called out into the square by their 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 had 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. CHRYSOSTOM'S CHURCH, EVERTOR. 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 i 3 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 an 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. LANCASIIIRS INSITEANCB 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. During 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 of influence, representing more ca- pital than any list that could be produced before a body of shareholders. The report was than 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 moved to the London, Liverpool, and West Scotland boards and their respective secretaries, from whom valuableassist- ante had been received. A similar compliment was also paid to Mr. Kennedy, the manager, and also to the direc• tors. The sum of Xl,OOO was voted to the directors for their services. LETTERS have been received from Captain W. P. Campbell, 23d Welsh Fusiliers, dated Scutari, 9th Octo- ber, to the effect that the ball had been extracted, and that he was doing well. Tnn CITY OF 111AxcnnsTER steam-ship, Capt. Wylie, sailed on Wednesday, for Philadelphia, with 400 passengers. EARLY CLOSING.—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 vlsr QUANTITY 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 ACADEMY.--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 the so-called Renaisance, ' by Mr. Leeds of London, in which the Greek and Roman schools of architecture were dealt with in a very interest- ing manner. SHIPWRECE.—On Friday, at 7 ap 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 STORM.—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 DIEMEN'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 THE PRINCE'S DOCK DEPOT.-011 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. ACHROMATISM: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. THE 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 OF A CHURCH 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 an amendment that the meeting be adjourned to that day twelve months, 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 FITND.---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 SCEEW STRA.MSHIP.—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. 50, 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. ADMIRALTI COVET.—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 Saturdays 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 Ix TIIOI,IIB-STIIEBT.-- 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, manyof 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 Arperus or Mu. OLivru 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 Cuuncn.—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 elite 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 OP MOSAICS, ORNAMENTAL FURNITURE, AND ARTICLES OF VERTU.— To morrow, Thursday, and Friday, Mr. Branch will offer for sale by public competition, at his rooms, Hanover-street, an ex- tensive and beautiful collection of rare and tasteful furni- ture, and articles of vertu, such as is rarely 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 500 lots, fill three or four of Mr. Branch's largest rooms, consist of Florentine Mosaic, bull, marqueterie, and carved oak or- namental furniture, aclapted to houses being furnished in the ancient and modern styles ; royal Sévres, Dresden, and Oriental china, magnificent pieces of Gobelin tapestry, ancient arms, a matchless collection of antique and mo- dern bronzes and statuary, elegant clocks, and brackets, hi ormulu, bronze, and buhl, candelabra, cabinet paintings, by ancient and modern master, and a numerous and diver- sified assortment of 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 style of modern decorative art, are such as are rarely seen. The oak furniture, which is quite a contrast to the glitter- ing productions of the modem French cabinet-makers, is beautifully carved, of massive proportions, and ad. mirably suited for libraries and halls. The china is of great value and rarity many of the specimens being unique ; altogether the. first-rate.

LEICESTER.—There appears a slight dulness in some I departments this week compared with the few previous weeks—in some measure attributable to the position of the war, and the still too high price of bread, which pre. vents the working classes replenishing so freely then wardrobes, as it is desirable they should. Cheap brea,:, will enable them to secure a good supply of comfortable winter clothing, which will soon benefit the shopkee and then the manufacturers CORN. 141,VERPOOL,0cr. 20.—Our market this morning buillenderly attended by either local or country buy and the advanced rates demanded for wheats hare- i great degree checked business ; where transactions, h ever, have occurred, an improvement of 6d to 9d bushel, over the rates of Tuesday, has been made, but trade closes without activity, and not quite so good as yesterday. Scarcely a sample of country wheat was shown to-day, farmers being busy on the land.—American flour finds a good steady sale at 2s per barrel more money, and Spanish, which is now in very few hands, commands 60s per sack. Barley must be noted 3d per bushel, and beans 2s to 3s per qr. dearer. Oats are unchanged in value, but oatmeal is in good request, and is per load higher. There continues a good demand for Indian corn, a fair quantity of which is being taken for Englis have some purchases for Ireland, but no fart' tions are reported for the Continent to-day quotations is. per quarter. 1 consumption we raise 'neat, 70Th. 5.

ROBINSON and DUKE, Solicitors. Firm AT BIRKENHEAD.—About a quarter past ten o'clock on Saturday night, a fire broke out in the boat- building shed belonging to Mr. Hickson, at Woodside. The building being constructed of wood, and the roof being tarred, the fira spread to an alarming extent. On the adjoining premises were about 600 tons of coal, the property of M. Baukes, Esq., and to which the fire was fast approaching. By the exertions of the fire-brigade, however, the flames were prevented from spreading in that direction beyond the shed where it originated. In about three-quarters of an hour the fire was extinguished, but not before the shed and an iron house, which stood on the opposite side, had been completely destroyed. In the meantime, with the assistance of a number of work- police had succeeded in rtmoving the greater portion of the property in the building, consisting of ships' boats. gigs, row-boats, a quantity of timber, and workmen's tools, the whole being valued at £4OO.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. CHESHIRE AND WALES. COLONEL WILBRAHAM (son of Randle Wilbraham, Esq., of Rodehall, Chester,) was too ill to take any active part in the battle of Alma : his post as Assistant Adjt.- General was taken by Major Lysons, of the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers. JOHN 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 receive from James Mycock, and should have paid to the clerk of the Liverpool Tradesmen's Loan Society, at Manchester. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—The traffic for the week ending 15th October, 1854, was as follows : Passengers, parcels, Ate., £3,041 13s. Bd.; steam-boats, £491185.6d. ; total, £3,533125.14. Goods, £1,795 6s. sd. Total, including Carnarvon traffic, £5,328 178. 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. 41. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held on Saturday, before Mr. Henry Churton, coroner, on the bodies of two of the children of Mr. Davies, firmer, 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." SHOCKING CABS OF BURNING.—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, four years of 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.— Chsster Courant. REVIVAL OF AN OLD COI:ULT.—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, to 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 i# 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 theßirkenheadPolice- court, on Thursday, three boatmen, named Joseph Han- son, Thomas Hanson, and Ralph Williams, were sum- 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 )ermitted 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. BIRTHS, .3fARRIAGES, and .DEATHS. BIRTHS.

MANUFACTORY, 22'8, PiCCAUILLY, LONDON. -FT OUGHT TO BE KNOWN that the Treat- ment universally adopted by the Faculty in Great Britain, in Cases of Deafness, is the result of a false theory, conceived in lamentable ignorance of the Organs and Anatomy of the Ear, and is in most cases calculated to accelerate and confirm the malady it is intended to remove. DR. HAHN, late Sur- geon, Aurist, and Physician in ordinary to the Grand Duke of Baden, feels it his duty to announce to persons suffering from Deafness, however long standing, and without regard to the age of the Patient, that he will guarantee their immediate and permanent restoration to Hearing, without any surgical or other painful operation. The most obstinate Cases, how- ever long standing, cured in one mouth ! The majority in, less than a week 1 Recent Cases instantaneously I Atten- dance daily at the Dispensary, Nottingham : fee one guinea, payable on completion of the cure. Patients at a distance may state their case by letter, enclosing one-third the fee (7a.), immediately on receipt of which the remedy, with full instructions, will be forwarded, post free, to any address, the remainder (14e.) to be paid in one month after the cure is completed. All communications, b post, addressed to CARL. HAHN, M.D.. at the Dispensary, Nottingham, will receive prompt attention. SUFFERERS FROM CHRONIC RHEUMA- USA( AND RHEUMATIC GOUT are respectfully informed that there is scarcely any form of that acute disease, however malignant, which will not immediately yield to the remedy of PROFESSOR HAHN, late PHYSICIAN to the GR.ANG DUNE OF BADEN, and formerly to the KING or WIiRTEMBURG. DR. HARN, 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 cases to refer to them, heis 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 10a., by postoffice order, payable to CARL HAHN, M.D., Dispensary, Nottingham. Reference is permitted to the following Gentlemen, who have been permanently cured of Rheumatic Gout, in its most distressing form :—Robert Colclough. Esq., Newfield Hall, Uttoxetor, Staffordshire • \V. D. Ludlam, Esq., Wingfield park, near Alfreton, Derbyshire; Captain Gresham, Hunslet Hall, Leeds. Copies of testimonials from the Archbishop of Dublin; the Mayor of Bristol ; Sir George Sitwell, Bart., Reinshaw Hall, Derbyshire; T. Dalby, Esq., Torteth-park, Liverpool; the Mayor of Southampton ; Dr. Clarke ; Dr. Ferguson ; and the principal Medical Gentlemen in the Mid- land Counties ; from nine Noblemen, and from upwards of thirty Members of the present House of Commons, will be sent yn application. We ariliappy to hear that Professor HA trx, 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.—London Medical Gazette. 1 am constrained, however, to admit, that as a specific ap- plicable to every form of Gout, none has yet been discovered of equal potency to that of Dr. HAHN, of Manheim.—Dr. slarvey's Practice of Physic, page 238.

Dear sir,—l 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 tinder my notice. A young girl, about eighteen years of age, Was dreadfully afflicted, so much so, that she could not move without the moat 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 I 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 (laughter.

" Erysipelas." His sufferings were incredible; and although he received some of the best medical advice, he obtained little or no relief. Almost in despair, he determined on giving Holloway's Ointment and Pills a trial; and, by a little perseverance with them he was completely restored to health, and strongly recommends these medicines to others similarly afflicted. Mr. C. Wil- liams, of 19, Edgecombe-street, Plymouth, can verify the case. FRAMPTON'S PILL OF lißmart is a medicine of long- tried efficacy, and its celebrity as a gentle aperient medicine is daily increasing. For bilious and liver complaints, denoted by sick headache, pain in the forehead and over the eyes, dizziness, singing noise in the head or ears, heartburn, loss of appetite, indigestion, and weakness of the stomach, drowsi- ness, sense of fullness after eating, wind, spasms. &c., they are admirable, and for elderly persons, where an occasional aperient medicine is required, nothing can be better adapted. The manifold advantages to the beads of families from the possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and in cases of temporary sick- ness, occurring in all families more or less every d Impor- tanday,.are BO obvious to all," that no question can be raised of ts oor- tance to every housekeeper in the kingdom.

FINE PLANTATION CEYLON COFFEE, ls. 2d. per lb. ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS. During the last few years more attention has been shown to the cultivation of the Coffee Plant in the Island of Ceylon, which has caused a considerable increase in the pro. duction, and a very great improvement in the quality. The Board of Customs returns now clearly show that more than two-thirds of all the Coffees consumed in England are the production of Ceylon, and are chiefly sold to the Con- sumers in this country under a different character, and at much higher prices than is. 2d. per lb. Our observations respecting this class of Coffee may lead some Family Purchasers to think that we recommend cheap- ness and disregard quality; but our great aim is to select carefully such as must please the customers, the price being fixed so as to insure an increasing demand. Families who study economy in household expenditure will find that, owing to the reasonable Price of this Coffee, they can afford to use it more freely. I We recommend Coffee in the berry, as it will be foundfresher ground as wanted, but those who have not the proper conve- nience for grinding may rest assured of obtaining Pure Ground Coffee at this Establishment, in Cauislers or otherwise.

Upon the 14th day of Michaelmas miserable effect the reading has, contrasted witii.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 ehoralists 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 ➢ir. 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, but 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 sth 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 excommuni- 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 church, 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 ho 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 preventing the interruption of the service last Sunday. Mr. Arnold then proceeded to adjudicate upon the ease. 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 LETTER-BOXEEL—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. The streets selected for the first experiment are Ludgate-hill, Fleet-street, the Strand, and Piccadilly. CIIIRGB OF 311IIRDER 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 accuaed'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 bad been iu Mr. Davidson's service for several years, MATTHEWS, THE LATE POLICEMAN.—At the Cheshire county sessions, on Monday, Mr. W. T. Egerton.said he had been requested by Sir Edward Cast 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 was 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- inenei 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 chairman, Mr. West, of Ruthin Castle, the meeting sepsarated. CHESHIRE QUARTER. SESSIONS.—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, £4,400; 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, £4lO ; 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 ; constabillary 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.

CATTLE LIVERPOOL, OCT. 23.—We had a very large supply of cattle at market to-day, which caused the trade to rule heavy at a decline of nearly -id. per lb. on middling and inferior qualities of beef, but primer, from comparative scarcity, maintained nearly former value.

LAUNCHES, Tun paddle-steamer the Pampero, 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 beenUaunched from Mr. Laird's yard, at Birkenhead, on Saturday. Every preparation was made; she was named by Madame Goulette, wife of M. Goulette, of Paris, (of the Compagnie des Messageries Imperiale,) and started on her "passage," - ling 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 do Messageries Imperale 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 purchasers 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. is, 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 parte of the world. just before re SUICIDE AT HIGnER TRA2lllllllll.—Yesterday morn- ing, the inhabitants of Higher Traninere 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 had committed self- destruction. Information was at once conveyed to Mr. Churton, the coroner, and an inquest will be held on the body to-day. Moog AUCTION. On Tuesday, James Hill, a lint manufacturer, of Cazneau-street entered a notorious try-ck 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 mouths' imprisonment. Too SHARP FOR THEIR YZARS.—At the Birkenhead Police-court, yesterday, Thomas Heap, aged 10, William Jones, 15, William Buckley, and John Hall, 18, were charged by Thomas Carter, collector of the Woodside ferry, with stealing 10s. in silver from his stand at the pay-gate. On Sunday afternoon, soon after two o'clock, the prisoners were passing through the turitstile 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 FATTER MATTHEW.—LECTITILE AT THE CONCERT- uALL LAST NIGIET.—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 an 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 pointin,, 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 Chairnaan announced that a Temperance Society, in Mar; bone, had, yesterday, sent L2o.—Father Matthew sails to'-day in the South American CemParlee Iteanaor,

result is not in our ha the harvest. In one nently usefu: ranted feelin Christians. In bringing about this, the society had inva- riably used the language of love and of kindness, and that kindness he was persuaded had been instrumental in breaking down the prejudices which had separated the Jews from Christians. Trodden down and oppressed as they have been, can we wonder that they have shown re- sentment ? The Jews may be considered represented by Topsy, in the very popular work, " Uncle Tom's Cabin.' All wnilla rpropmhpr that noor Tonsv was buffetted and feeling. Nobody cared for her, and she hated everybody. When spoken to by the gentle Eva, who assured her that she loved her, the poor outcast burst into tears and expressed herself as happy and thankful. So it might be said of the Jews, so long as they have been treated with contumely and cruelty, they felt resentment ; that resentment melted before the glow of kindly feeling. He concluded by moving the adoption of the resolution. _ _ _ _ The Rev. Dr. M'NEILE rose with much satisfaction to second the proposition which Mr. Parry had proposed, namely, that the report be adopted, printed, and circulated under the direction of the committee. He thought that if this society were looked upon merely as a missionary ono, if they confined themselves to its plain and simple operation, as suggested by his lordship, they must clearly admit that there was no society in existence so largely supported ; for while the object of..the societi' is the conversion of six or seven millio of persons, the object of the General Miss awry So cie is the conversion of six hundred millions of people. Looking, then, at it merely as a missionary society, there was no society which received one-tenth the support that it did. It was a remarkable fact. If they received R.T. a-year for preaching to six hundred millions of peopit how much -(you mathematicians) would it be to each ? (Hear, and laughter.) Gentlemen might smile at this, but it was really a very important matter • and he mentioned it because he believed it was a practical proof that in addition to the plain, simple, practical view of the institution, Mr. Simeon, when asked to explain how it was that so much more in proportion was required for this society, said he must candidly confess that if it were only a missionary society there seemed very disproportionate incomes; but the Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews contained another element—for tefore they could make much progress with their 600,000,000 of people, some- thing must be done with the 6,000,000 ; and he claimed, therefore, their labour and assistance for this "society first—to the Jew first. It had pleased God that, as in everything, there should be a national pre-emi- nence here—a national pre-eminence in the fii.st place, and he also believed that there would be a national pre- eminence at the last, and that it was a feeling of this sort that had contributed very largely, indeed, to produce the feeling in this christian community, which accounted for the fact that this society, with its 6,000,000 of people, would require so large a support as £30,000 a year. The Jewish nation, in whatever position contemplated, —whether in its present condition, its past history, or future destiny, was full of lively interest in every enlightened and welt-informed spiritual-minded Christian. And in their pre- sent position they were sinners—sinners indeed—and they were called by all the most barbarous names that could be given so sinners. Their characteristics were cunning, covet- ousness, and extortion. Then as sinners they claimed for them the glorious Gospel of Christ, whose chief characteristics met at once those greatest of human wants, the forgiveness of sins. Every false religion reserved the forgiveness of sins to the last—required something first—required a character first —works to be done, sufferings to be endured. and sacrifices to be offered, in order at last to procure forgiveness of sins. Heathenism, Afahoinetanism, Romanis:li, and Soci- nianisni. however widely differing in other things, agreed in this—they deimmded some sort of service in order to procure forgiveness of sins at last. This was the order of nature— the order of failure—the order of hell. (deer, hear, hear.) Only the Gospel reversed this order. It proclaimed for- giveness of sins first, in order that by forgiveness bestowed, and forgiveness enjoyed, character may be produced. (Hear, hear, hear.) Then, with regard to their past history, all- the great events conneced with it were as samples to all future time—the Jeis lab records containing, in fact, the Christian principles. 'acre was striking example for them to ponder well upon the declension of the Jews. They had a plain distinct command from God, that, when they went into their promised 14nd, they should make no league with the people; but should drive them all out. They found there people will- ' ing to live at peace with them, and asking to be per- mitted to remain in the country, professing peace towards them. They allowed these people to remain, as was stated in the Ist chapter of Judges, and what was the consequence? Those people became snares to them, and traps, fraying them into idolatry ; and in the next chapter they read that the Israelites began to worship Baal, and for- sook the Lord God. Was not this instructive? Had they God's word for time duty, and had they some reasonable argument against it? Look at the reasonable arguments; for instance, as to the Sabbath being the only day on which the poor could have relaxation. Kindness would say let this and that solace be open ;to them; but then there was God's commandment against it. Then God had spoken plainly about the use of images in worship; and arguments had been used showing how reasonable. how quiet, how peaceful. how kind, how affectionate, how full of good-humour, certain people were, as reasons for allowing them to have their own way. But we not only allowed them to have their own way—that they must do on their own responsibility—but we even helped them to make use of images in public worship. Now this he believed to be one of the great snares of this nation. It was bringing the anger of God upon a nation professing to wor- ship Him, it they not only allowed and tolerated, but connived at what Re had forbidden,—training and paying for the sup- port of teachers of what God hail forbidden, and of what they had themselves forsworn as offensive to od. (Cheers.) He thought these Jewish records conveyed one of the striking symbols of condemnation to England for putting her band in her treasury for the support of the College of May- nooth, and other evils. (Cheers.) After tracing the future destiny of Israel, as prophesied in the Holy Writings, the Rev. Canon concluded by seconding the resolution, which was carried teem. dia. The Rev. J. C. R. Itarcits.nnT moved the second resolution as follows t "That this meeting, recognizing the peculiar claims of the House of Israel upon the sympathies of the Christian Church, desire to express their unalterable attachment to the prin- ciples upon which this society is founded, and their devout thankfulness to Almighty God for the measure of blessing which has rested upon its operations at home and abroad." He expressed the gratification he experienced at seeing so many assemoled in support of the cause of Jewish Conversion. It was a cause which might be truly called a blessed one. The whole Bible is filled hy the covenants made by God with his chosen people, the children of Israel. It was gratifying to find a society established in our own Church, having for its object the conversion of that chosen people, the Jews. This society had done touch good; but some ye.ira since it had had been placed under great difficulties, in consequence of having undertaken operations beyond its means. To remedy this, it became necessary to curtail the ope- tations of the society ; but by great exertions these diffi. culties had been so far overcome, and gradually a sinking fund had been instituted to constitute a floating capital to meet the p:,rticti!ar exigencies, that the society's work might go on prosperously. This, though a wise measure, was not sufficient to carry on the work of the society. The means adopted for carrying on that work was by the circulation of the Old and New Testaments. In the Hebrew, the Scriptures are very expensive and encumbered with notes. The society considering it desirable that the Jews should have the:Word of God without note or comment, it has accordingly had two editions published, two beautilul and correct editions, which by the Jews themselves are believed and admitted o be the best to he met with. These editions are used in the Synagogues ail over the world.' The ptiblication of these had inspired the Jews with confidence. This 'confidence has induced and enabled the society to introduce the prayer book and the new testament into the hands of the Jews, and for the purpose of enabling tine to be done, these hooks hid been also translated into Scriptural Hebrew. The introduc tion of these latter, particularly the prayer-book, bad been found most efficacious in conveying the truths of Christi- anity to the Jews. Reference had been made to the schools in the Duchy of Posen, and it bad been truly stated that upwards of 600 cbilttren were in attendance upon ti.e schools there ; hut it had been omitted to ‘-e mentioned that, since the institution of these schools, upwards of 2,000 children of Hebrew parentage had been admitted to these schools, and bad received Christian education. Nearly 13,000 converted Jews had been in different parts of the word turned to Christianity, arid fully 2,000 of these were resident in Loudon, and a large proportion of the ',bole intd been con- .

I.RELAIVD. A SAD FAMILY.—A child, aged three years, belonging to a woman named. Henry, died near Toome, Ireland, a few days ago, from intoxication ! The grandmother, mother, and aunt of the child were all drunk at the same time.—orthern Whig. KING'S COUNTY.-The other day, a body of men, armed with bludgeons, entered the house of a lady, and severely beat a servant man. One of the women servants was so frightened that she died the day following. Tun RAILWAY OUTRAGE.—The inquiry into the cir- cumstances of the recent attempt to overthrow the rail- way train at Trillick, terminated in the verdict of wilful murder against Hugh Harkin, John Moran, William Flanagan, Body Murphy, William Harkin, and Francis IVl'Mahon, and against Patrick Lynch as accessory before the act. TIIR PATRIOTIC FIIND.—The inhabitants of Cork have been the first in Ireland to respond to the call for the formation of a patriotic fund for the relief of the widows and orphans of the soldiers who may fall in the eastern campaign. The Mayor of Cork has fixed this day for a public meeting. Tns IRISH MILITIA. enrolment, now about to com- mence, has created no small stir, and trade will, no doubt, derive considerable advantage from the expenditure of money consequent upon the clothing and equipment of so. large a force as 30,000 men. It is stated that the city of Limerick militia have received a notification from the authorities to the effect that three companies of the regi- ment, upon its next enrolment, will be armed and equipped as artillery. This corps it was which, under the late Lord Gort, then Colonel Vereker, won at the battle of Coloony a name and reputation which will long be remembered as not the least brilliant in the military annals of Great Britain. The " City of Limerick" is commanded by the Hon. Colonel Vereker, a grandson of the nobleman above-mentioned. The following regulations with respect to the organisation of the Irish militia will be carried into effect :—All old captains and subalterns are to retire, but are to have the privilege of retaining their regimental rank and of wearing their uniform. Lieutenants and ena who served in the militia when they were last emled, and who, therefore, have been rectiving, half-pay, are to have the same continued to them on their retiring. No captains or subalterns to be appointed in future who are not active young men. Adjutants of militia regiments not to be more than 38 years of age, and must have served in the army for some years. THE NEWCASTLE Fit/M.—The subscription for the relief of the sufferers by this sad calamity promises to be among the most municificent ever collected in this country. Up to Friday morning it amounted to above £7,000, and among the subscriptions sent in we observed, the Earl of Carlisle, £2OO ; the Duke of Northumberland, £lO5 ; and subscriptions from working men in all parts of the country. 357 families have been relieved by the committee, who are also exerting themselves in providing furniture and dwell- ings for the poor creatures burnt out. We are informed that the claims sent in for losses are of the most modest description, and the gratitude of the poor for the timely relief afforded them is most affecting. PROROGATION 01/ PARLIAMENT.—Friday being the day to which Parliament stood prorogued, the House of Lords met for the purpose of the Lords Commissioners, in the name of the Queen, continuing the prorogation until Thursday, the 16th of November next. The Lords Com- missioners present were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyll, and Earl Granville. As usual on these occasions. a large number of ladies and their friends were present, being admitted as spectators behind the bar; but the ceremony being of so simple and formal a character, no interest whatever can be created. The Lords Commis- sioners having taken their seats in frout of the throne, and Sir Denis Le Marchant, chief clerk, and other officers of the house, as the representatives of Her Majesty's most faithful Commons, having arrived, Mr. Shaw J.efevre, deputy clerk of the house, read the commission, proroguing Parliament until Thursday, the 16th of November next. The Lord Chancellor then, in the usual manner, in the name of Her Majesty, declared Parliament prorogued to that day accordingly. Their brdehips then rose and re tizvd, On the 17th inst., at the Congregational Chapel, Doug- las, Isle of Man, by the Rev. W. C. Stallybrass, Mr. J. J.
