LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17. Fos some days past rumours of what in con stitutional language is called a ministerial crisis, have filled the air in Paris. Some contradictory intimations in the semi-official journals were sufficient to agitate the Bourse, and • statement in the Patrie to the effect that the only question before the Cabinet was the elections, upon which the EMPEROR had made up his mind, only served to confirm by affecting to deny the common re port that the elections had nothing whatever to do with the division in the Cabinet, and that the Roman question was at the bottom of it all. In fact, nothing but the EMPEROR'S determined ab stinence from public business, and devotion to seaside recreations, could have prevented the crisis from occurring a month ago. At one of the last Cabinet Councils held before the departure of the Court for Biarritz it was understood that M. Tsouvrarm, had sub mitted for the EMPEROR'S approval the draft of a Note to the Ambassador at Rome, assigning a precise term to the occupation of the Papal territory by French troops, and inviting the Court of Rome to set its house in order, and " conciliate " its sub jects. Such a Note as this had the double demerit in Imperial eyes of frankness and firmness ; it an pounced a policy, and the EMPEROR had none ; a clear and daylight policy; and that false and fickle heart and brain revelled in darkness and deceit. Besides, the EMPEROR wanted rest and quiet; and the Roman question, which had kept for thirteen years, would keep another month. So M. THOI7 , IE-NM put the Note in his pocket again, and the august trifler went off to play on the sands at Biarritz with that interesting young Corporal, the "Child of France," to entertain small tea parties, to diversify his leisure with an occasional be speak of a bull-fight, and the periodical advent with a box of papers of an auditor of the Council of State. Meanwhile the august Eosni& of the Papacy was less idle than her lord; inspiring La France, reassuring the HOLY FATHER, and " converting," some say, the ancient Carbonaro into an active and zealous servant and soldier of the Church. General DVRANDOWAS preparing a spi rited Note to read to M. THOUVENEL, and the Ca binet of Turin were preparing a still more spirited article in their official journal in reply to La Prance. Alas ! for the spirited Note that was destined to fall between a Minister of Foreign Affairs going out and a Minister of Foreign Affairs coining in. Such is "Personal Government ;" it is no fault of ours if its acts can only be explained by personalities. Such is a system of government in which the penitent frivolity of • declining coquette decides the destinies of two nations, the honour of an empire, and the happi ness of a kingdom ; prolongs the agony of Italy, and buries an army in Mexico. When France recovers her senses and her spirit, she will gladly forget that in the latter half of the nineteenth cen tury her blood, her treasures, her reputation, her rank and power in the Old world and the New,were used like the cierges which weak women offer up in expiation of undiscovered frailties, or like the jewels which are presented to waxen dolls in the churches, and negotiated at the money-changers by mocking priests ! The resignation of M. THot-vvist will probably be assigned by the Moniteur to domestic anxieties. There is reason to believe that M. THOU VENEL is only the first to set an example of independence and self-respect. M. DE Prs•loiy, as the friend and adviser of his master in days when fidelity was suffering, and as the representative of the better Napoleonic tradition, is particularly obnoxious to the secret influences which at present surround the throne. M. FOULD is not only a friend to liberal ideas, but a foe to prodigal expenditure. M. RoUHER, the author of the Commercial Treaty, is necessarily the advocate of an enlightened and generous policy, and M. ROULAND, the Minister of Worship and Public Instruction, is too well acquainted with the insolent and encroaching spirit of the priestly party, and too conscious of the direction of the best minds in France, to lend his name to an impossible reaction. These Ministers will deserve well of France, of public opinion, and of Europe by doing justice to themselves, and refusing to lend their names to an organized con spiracy against the peace and liberties of mankind. Their retirement may even serve the true interests of their Imperial master better than connivance could do, if it warn him of the dangers of the dark path on which he has entered. M. DEOUYN DE L'HUYS brings to the Cabinet of the EMPEROR a name deserving of all respect, a high unblemished character, long experience in public business, excellent tact, and no mean capa city for the conduct of difficult affairs. His private character is a rare acquisition to the Imperial circle, where private character is a luxury. But as • statesman it would not be so difficult to ex aggerate the claims of M. Daouvw DE L'Huve to high consideration. In Louis PHILIPPE'S time he was only conspicuous as • bitter opponent of Eng land, and as having been dismissed for insubordi nation by M. Gussor. From the extreme Left, when the Revolution of February broke out, THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVE ex- ~~ ~; 1 he paned naturally enough to tome Right when the Red accomplished. And from tha,. in the Republican Assemblies, it natural that he should return to the public service as a Minister of the Prince President of the Republic. His conduct of the foreign policy of that transitional regime was something more than conservative, it was • bait to the good opinion of all the absolutist Powers ; and yet not inimical to England, where, at a later date, as Ambassador, M. DROUTE DS L'Huvs made many friends. To the Coup d'etat, however, M. Dzotrra Ds L'Hirrs emphatically belongs, and there is probably no man whose presence at Court is more agreeable to the EMPEROR. To his discretion some of the most difficult transactions of the last ten years have been entrusted. His resignation of office after the failure of the Vienna Conferences in 1855, and of his Senator's rank in 1866, marked him sa an exoeptional personage among Ministers and Senators of the Second Empire. It is impossible to deny that the accession of M. DROUIN Di L'HITYB to office at the present juncture, as the champion of reactionary sympathies, of selfish interests, of territorial compensations, of resistance to all the rights of Italy, of military intervention at Rome—a policy fundamentally opposed to the principles on which the Second Empire professes to be based, but flattering to all the bigotries and grudges of the old political parties—is an event too likely to result in the gravest consequences to Italy, to France itself, and to the pesos of Europe. The withdrawal of M. DE LavaxErrs from Rome, and the mission of an extreme Ultramontanist in his stead, proves that the party of the boudoir and the sacristy is triumphant, that the " Catholic world" is all in all, and that Italy is literally " nowhere." dsc : 1 `X letter i I Bariin, the 14th, Ml Al l the liberal sections of the Chamber ofteputies assembled yesterday evening at a banquet.

This concert, given at St. James's flail last night, was of precisely the same kind as the concerts of Welsh national music which took place in the course of last season at St. James's Hall and the Crystal Palace. It was got up on the same large scale, the principal performers were the same, and it was attended with the same success as the previous performances. It was conducted, like them, by Mr. John Thomas. There was a chorus of four hundred voices, drawn from the Vocal Association and the Royal Academy of Music, accompanied by a band of twenty harps, played by the most eminent performers in London. The solo singers were Miss Edith Wynne, the young Welsh lady who made so favourable an impression on the public at the previous concerts, Miss Eliza Hughes, Miss Lam:ellen, and Mr. Lewis. The music, which consisted of choral pieces and ballads, was wholly selected from the admirable collection of Welsh melodies, arranged by Mr. John Thomas, with English poetry (in addition to the original Welsh words) by Mr. Thomas Oliphant, recently pub lished by Messrs. Addison and Co.—a work which may be described as the most elegant Welsh anthology that has ever appeared. The programme of the concert included some of the moat beautiful gems of that collection. Among the choruses there ware the famous martial strain, the" march of the men of Harlech," "Mona Rhuddlan" (the plain of Ithuddlan), "Ar byd y Nos" (AU through the Night), and " Called yr Hall" (the Rising of the Sun). The effect of this rich and harmonious !nude, sung by the choir with per fect ensem6le, and accompanied by twenty harps, was new and peculiar, sod often strikingly grand and imposing. Several of the finest of the ballads were excellently well sung by the performers we have named, especially by Miss Wynne, who, with a beautiful voice and a pure and simple style, throws into the melodies a nationality of character and expression which a native only can give. The hall was crowded to the doors, and the audience were enthusiastic in their applause--a little too enthusiastic sometimes, for a portion of them, good people of the Prin cipality no doubt, insisted on encoring everything, and had their demands been complied with the whole concert would have been performed twice over. Mr. John Thomas did not yield to this pressure more than he could help; but the number of encores could not be pleasing to persons whose admiration of the music was not inflamed by Cam brian associations. Mr. Charles Salaman, honorary serretary of the Musical Society of London, is about to read two of hi■ lectures, entitled "A Morning with Beethoven" and "Au Evening with C. Y. vas W," at Northampton.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. fnox ova OWN PARIS, THURSDAY EVINING. Do not suppose that the ministerial crisis is over because the only change gazetted in the Moni teur to-day is the substitution of M. Dronyn de Lhuys for M. Thouvenel as Minister for Foreiga Affairs. The telegraph, which necessarily repeats the worthless assertions of a slavish and crippled press, will mislead unwary readers on this subject. The wretched Patrie and Pays, which both said widely different things last night, both claim to be right this evening, and both are equally and impu dently wrong. The Pays, which vowed that there was no "serious foundation" for the rumours of a ministerial modification, now musters brass enough to say that its assertion is completely borne out by the Moniteur's announce- . - meat of a mere " change of person" in the ministry of foreign affairs, which does not imply any change of policy. The Patrie, which, still more unfortu nate, was prompted to affirm that the only differ ence between the Emperor and his ministry related to the question of internal policy—the elections, is now reduced to feign a triumph, because the ru mours which it "denied yesterday" are put an end to by the appointment of a new minister of foreign affairs. With M. Thonvenel is turned out of offioe K de Lavalette, the ambassador to Rome. What a light upon the moduli operandi of imperialism is thrown by these two dismissals —or, if you like the word better, resignations. On September 5 the Monikur published a despatch of M. Thou venel's, dated May 30, informing the court of Rome that if it continued to "oppose the theory of immobility as categorically as it had done hitherto, the Emperor's government could not con form its conduct to such a course," and " would be obliged to consider on its account how to retire from a situation which, being prolonged beyond a certain term, would falsify its policy." On the same day the Moniteur published a despatch from M. de Lavalette, dated June 24, informing M. Thouvenel that he bad done his utmost to treat, but that the Emperor's proposals to the Holy See had met with the fate of all his former ones—in a word, every proposal for a compromise was utterly rejected, and the court of Rome entrenched itself obstinately in its non possurnua The world at large believed, as it was meant to do, that the pub lication of these diplomatic papers, then several months old, could only mean logically that the Emperor was about to take action in the sense of M. Thouvenel's despatch. It now appears that they were only disclosed to stop a gap for the moment, and to prevent M. Thonvenel from re signing at an inconvenient time, while the Emperor was at Biarritz. He who runs may now read that the journal the France, though duly and emphati cally disavowed, was started by M. de la Gueronnilwe to pave the way for the reactionary and ultramontaue policy which the Emperor had secretly resolved upon in opposition to the views which his ostensible advisers were offi cially holding out to Italy and the world. Just as before the coup d'dtat of 1851 K Thorigny, Minis ter of the Interior, knew nothing whatever of the conspiracy brewing with his destined successor, the Duke de Morny, so up to a few days ago M. de Thouvenel was kept in ignoranoe of the things re solved upon with M. de la Gueronniere. To return to the ministerial crisis. I repeat that both K Fould and M. de Persigny have tendered their resignations. As earnest personal friends of the Emperor, you will readily understand the difficulty they would feel in resisting his request not to retire simultaneously. M. Fould knows that his resignation would cause a fearful panic at the Bourse, and he may think it patriotic to remain in office for a little longer at some sacrifice of prin- ciple. Re is going to Marseilles to attend the in auguration of a steam-packet company, and doe s not certainly withdraw for the moment. What he will ultimately do I cannot say, but I have no doubt that if he oould hand over him portfolio to a successor without causing a financial crisis he would do so. I believe myself able to state that the Emperor's faithful and affectionate old eounsellor, the Count de Persigny, will leave office very shortly on account of the dire decision of his master with respect to Rome. M. de la Gueronnibre is a candidate for the suc cession, but perhaps his name is mainly put forward by himself. Another name spoken of is that of M. Henri Chevreau, Prefect of the Loire, one of ;;Ikat the Emper'ese stsid ch T he o Count Wted of, but` I can ly think serif !would indeed be ' us appointment, veins than that of Cas7Cspinaese, of terrible "Innory It would, moreover, revive a story about a necklace —rivalling the historical collier of the last century —which on every account should be suffered to sleep. The France, which must now be considered as the semi-official journal, coolly tells its readers that M. Thoavenel and M. de Lavalette retire merely on account of the false " interpretations " put upon their despatches published by the Moniteur, and that there is nothing in the real meaning of the documents different from the Emperor's present j intentions. Inasmuch as the partisans of Italian unity have come, though quite wrongfully, to consider those two statesmen as their devoted partisans, it is necessary for the Emperor to dismiss his faithful servants in order to put an end to a "misunderstanding." Judge from this specimen of the measure which the Prance applies to the intelligence of its readers ! The France hears from Turin that M. Rattami having been informed by despatches from Paris, received on the 14th and 15th, of M. Thouvenel's determination to resign, at once called a council of ministers, and read to them despatches which left no hope on the subject of Rome. In the evening of the 15th the rumour of M. Entteszi's resignation was prevalent, and "the public, beginning to under stand the situation, received the news without in credulity." It is very currently reported that the King of Portugal and his bride will pay a visit to the Emperor and Empress at Compiegne next month ; at all events, the Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clothilde (now in Lisbon) Lave a commission to give them a pressing invitation. An aide-de-camp of Marshal Canrobert has just arrived at Lyons, and the inference is drawn that not Count Palikao but the marshal will be ap pointed to the important command left vacant by the death of Marshal Castellane. The Bourse has somewhat recovered, the minis terial crisis being considered in the money market as relatively unimportant, provided that Fould does not go out. Rents rose 25c. for cash and 35c. for account, closing at 71fr. 25c. and 71fr. 30c. Mobilier rose 18fr. 25c. Railways were rather higher. The Daily News is seized. ITALY. GARIBALDI. VISOR OUR SPACIAL CORRESPONDENT.) SPEZZIA, Ocr. 13. A certain irritation is manifesting itself amongst the writers in the government interest on the per tinacity with which the surgeons in attendance on Garibaldi continue to publish their bulletins. In the notoriety given to Garibaldi, some of the generals—and in particular La Marmora—have found grave cause of offence ; and the Governor of Naples declared that if the publication of the amnesty were to be made by a special gazette, he I and several others of his own rank in the service would retire. Without having lived in Italy, and mixed there with some of its military society, it is not easy to understand or to measure this feeling ; one must have observed the intense jealousy of the regular soldier towards the volunteer, the contempt of the royalist for the red-shirted republican, to believe how painfully this rivalry has entered into the heart of the army. . Your papers, say the Italians, are treating Gari baldi as if he were a prince of the blood. For some objects of your own—for you are a very practical people and waste nothing, not even sympathy—you affect to feel for Garibaldi in " delitto " a degree of affection and devotion you never vouchsafed to him in his days of triumph. How is this ? What do you mean by it 1 Why do you coquet with Joseph Blaulni ? Why do you seek to estrange France ? If it is needless to say that we are doing neither one nor the other, it would be equally hopeless to explain to any untravelled Italian what is now taking place in England regarding Garibaldi. Of how much honest kindli ness for suffering, compassion, genuine admiration for a noble nature, and downright humbug of a certain set of people seeking notoriety for them selves under the cover of a great name, all this Garibaldine sentiment is made up, I would neither attempt nor wish to make known to the people of Italy. These momentary bursts of national enthusiasm are like alteratives to the phlegmatic temperaments of our people ; and we always are, or we fancy our selves to be, the better for them. Whether it was that the friends of Garibaldi thought they saw a decline in the national anxiety about him, or that it was necessary to make some protest against the more than insinuations of the ministerial press that the wound was less serious than the doctors declared it, a consultation has just been held at Varignano, and Zanetti was sum moned specially from Florence to attend it. The result has been the publication of a rather lengthened statement of the present state of the injured limb, with a more serious anticipation of the time that may be required for its cure, and graver appreciation of the dangers to be apprehended, than we have lately seen ; all winding up with the remark that " no positive evidence yet exists that the ball is not in the wound." There is certainly enough in Garibaldi's state to occasion anxiety to his friends. The very length of time he must of necessity be confined to bed will make a sad inroad into a constitution that its owner never spared, not to speak of the far more serious wear and tear that will come of moral suffering. It would be to put Garibaldi above all human sentiment and emotion to suppose that he must not regard as ingratitude the treatment he has lately received. Believing—as he does believe —that his last expedition was fully as justifiable as his first, and convinced that if Rattazzi had been a minister of his King instead of a creature of the Emperor he must have succeeded, it would be very bard to reconcile him to his present lot ; and it may be feared that in those long weary hours of the night, of which he already speaks as the weariest be ever passed, these dreary thoughts will eat deeper and deeper into him, and sadden, if they do not sour, one of the finest natures that ever a man was blessed with. Of the American war he speaks no more. It is not improbable that he has learned that the Yankee oonsul acted entirely on his own re sponsibility, and without any concert with or per mission of his superiors. Indeed, it could not in any way have entered into the consular's functions to make this offer to Garibaldi. The consul aocre- ditedtoVieuna had certainly no competency to treat with any one residing in Italy, and it is oertain that the American minister at Turin has strongly re presented the matter to his government, and de manded as a right that the obtrusive official be re primanded. Whether Garibaldi has wen that he was tricked by an incompetent and unauthorised OCTOBER 17:.-184: pima into a correspondenoe, and resents the im pertissoos, or that wiser and better thoughts on the wholequestion have supervened, he has assuredly eoolerl on the project, ,end his companions have 'newer heard him allude to it. Tie talks with pleasure of going to England ; nia heart is, however, not set on demonstrations or public testimonials, it is easy to see that he longs to meet certain dear personal friends, and to speak to them of all.he feels for the nation, " Questa grandissima nazione," as he loves to call it. The telegraph has brought tidings of two Con federate privateers having entered the Mediterra nean, the notorious Captain Semmes being in command of one of them. It is rumoured that they have already sunk or burned twelve Federal craft, and the consuls at all the ports are on the alert to spread the tidings, and provide measures for future safety. SERIOUS CONDITION OF GARIBALDL The following is a private letter from Spezzia . , I dated Oct. 12 : "Altar the letter I sent you the other day I feel you will be anxious for further news of the poor General, and I have collected every scrap of news I can about him in the hope of arriving tolerably near the truth, and I regret to say that all the reports which can be relied on agree in representing him as very ill, suffering much pain, and being very much depressed, both mentally and physically, and quite best on his scheme of going to America, with all his followers and sons, and fighting in the cause of liberty. 1 fear it is but too likely he may never leave Varignano. After all I have heard, I despair myself of his reoovery. He is evidently very weak and low, and they seem to allow him to get worse by not prescribing wine and the stimulants which I feel convinced in England would be recommended in rush • cam. He never does drink nine, lam told, when in health, and will not touch it now. Zanetti thought ill of his general health when be last saw him, though he did not think the wound in a state which would render amputation necessary. The Naar is considered so bad for him that the doctors talk of removing him whenever he is well enough to bear being carried by men a short distance. I got him asked whether he would like to see an English surgeon again, and his answer was that on no account would he cast such • slur on his countrymen again ; be had ac. copied once, but nothing now would induce him to show such want of confidence in his present doctors ; sad indeed I believe they are very good ones, and certainly most disinterested, as they never receive • farthing for their services, and Prandina has left • large practice to attend upon him. But I wish I knew whether he ought not to take port wine regularly I emu much as ever anxious that some matey should be pl a ced somewhere to supply the wants that may arise from day to day, that there may be no fear of Garibaldi's suffering from want of funds. I am told Beam, his secretary (I need not say an unpaid functionary), is quite to be trusted to spend mosey rationally for him. He might be empowered to drew it. Prandina has gone away for the present, and I don't know what day he returns. Two other young doctors are there.

THE BIRKENHEAD RIOTS (mom out owl' 001 LIVERPOOL, Tarsal)Ay, Another riot of a more desperate character than the first occurred in Birkenhead last night, attended nnfor. safely with a frightful amount of bloodshed and reckless destruction of property. For several boars the town was in the hands of the mob ; no person in the vicinity of the disturbed district. was safe ; and several of the Liverpool reporters and newspaper correspondent., amongst whom was the representative of the Timer, were severely handled, the miter unfortunately receiving several severe cute about the bead and face. The polies force, too, had many of it. members badly bastes, and two or three of the constables and one inspector were so dreadfully injured that their lives are considered in imminent danger. Indeed, up to an early hour this morning the greatest excitement and conster nation prevailed throughout the township, the mob appear ing to revel in their act, of lawless and unrestricted outrage. This riot, like its predecessor, originated in the attempt of the Roman catholic* to prevent • local parliamentery de bating satiety from discussing the question of "Sympathy with Garibaldi and Italy." The magistrates advised the members not to hold their meeting, but they persisted in doing so, and accordingly, in order to afford protection to the society and to the township, • large body of special eon stables was enrolled, the assistance of the county conics,. bulary (under Captain Smith and Superintendent Ham mond) obtained, and • military force stationed at Monks ferry, about • mile from the scene of the riot. The schoolroom where the meeting was held was guarded by a detachment of the Birkenhead police, and by • volunteer force of Liverpool Orangemen, and the proceedings were not interrupted except by the noise and commotion which pre. wailed outside the building and in the adjacent streets. The chief display of violence took place in Price street, where the Holy Trinity Church (Rev. Dr. Bayles) stands, and in the small streets branchiag from it, which are inhabited chiefly by Irish. The most active and mischievous of the rioters appeared from their drew to be Irish " navvies," and they were armed with bludgeons and other dangerous wea• pons, but they were abetted by crowds of women and girls, who, whenever small parties of police officers made • "raid" upon the rioters, hurled stones and bricks upon them from the windows of the houses, and from obscure 0011111V1, where unobserved they could collect and discharge theme dangerous mistiles. Throughout the Irish quarter, too, evidently by some preconcerted arrangement, the chim neys were fired at frequent intervals, and after the temporary glow had subsided, the clouds of smoke sod soot which filled the sir were so dense, that the efforta of the police to cope with their urgent. were baffled, while new outrages were perpetrated under the shelter of the darkness. We were present from the commencement to the close of the riots, and are abbe to state that, though the police and Racial constables outnumbered the rioters in an immense proportion, the want of tact and energy oa the part of the leaden of the force—in fast, the absence of • resolute com mander at all—rendered the police all but useless in quelling the net, and in apprehending the chief instigators of the mischief. There were certainly a few instances of great bravery and determination on the part of the officers, but unsupported in their Weeks by large bodies of their comrades they could do little in tie way of capture, and in most CAIN received Severe injury, Amongst the special conetables were large numbers of volunteers, accustomed to military movements, and milieus to rush upon the mob and crush the riot before it somized much force ; but the "epeeists" and the main body of both county and borough police were kept in masses in front of the Holy Trinity Church, and positively, though well armed and " eager for the fray," were little better than so many dummies would have been from a " national clothing' artabliabraeot. Serious sad indignant remonstrances have been made on all hands in Birkenhead with regard to the conduct of the local magistrates, in not either calling out the military or allowing the police and constables to take more vigorous action at an earlier part of the affray. It any magistrate had dared to show himself on horseback and lead on a large body of men in quick time through the streets moat infested, the whole disturbance might have been quelled in half an hour, and at least • hundred of the more daring and prominent of the rioters apprehended. Several gentlemen of Birkenhead who have been celled upon to-day positively declined to act as special constable., stating that unless the force is more efficiently handled it is unless to expose themselves wine cesearily to danger. The volunteers who have been Morn in have, in a great many instances, declared that if the magistrates do not act with greater vigour, they (the volunteers) will take the law into their own hands, and that--{should the riots be renewed to-night)—at whatever risk and coat, they wall attack the rioters with as large • force as they ma raise. Last night Superintendent Ham mond, of the county police, was felled to the ground with a bludgeon whilst endeavouring to arrest a Roman catholic priest, who WWI addressing and instigating the mob in Oak. street (off Pries-street). The women and elder boys attached to the rioters broke open several shops, and either plundered or destroyed the goods. During the whole of to-day business was almost entirely suspended, particularly at the north or Irish end of the town, where bands of truculent navvies and women paraded the streets, openly uttering threats to proceed to further acts of violence. In the neighbourhood of the Holy Trinity Church and the adjacent streets many of the shop windows were smashed in, and the proprietors very prudently kept their shutters closed the whole of the day. Crowds were also congregated in the neighbourhood of the Town-hail, where in the morning eleven prisoners, including two women, were brought up, charged with being concerned the rioting of the previous night. They were all remanded, after • brief examination, and conveyed under • smog escort of police to Cheater Castle, in order to prevent attempts at rescue. They will be brought up for further examination on Wednesday next. Two of the {coal police, who were se brutally ill-treated by the "swage friary," are in • most critical condition, and their recovery is exceed. jogly problematical. Mr. Coulter and Mr. Martin, together with other trades men, whose shops at the north end of Price-street were broken open and pillaged last night, have appealed to the magistrates for protection. The shopkeepers said that tbsy understood that the riot was to be renewed, and that the navvies engaged on the dock works were organising for rescue of the prisoners. In consequence of this commum. cation the Birkenhead magistrates sent a deputatiou to the Liverpool Watch Committee to request We aid of • strong detachment of the Liverpool police, by whose aid it is hoped I the designs of the rioters may be frustrated, and due protect tion afforded to the inhabitants. BIRKENHEAD, liea. Contrary to general expectation, the rioters did not renew their attacks. It is believed that this was owing to the advice of some of the leading priests, and to the fact that in consequence of the arrival of • considerable body of the c police force, • riot would have bees speeddr quelled, and the ringleaders apprehended. large numbers a of people, however, crowded the streets up to • late boar. 6 5 The Mayor of Manchester has received a Tel interesting letter from the Belief Committee of South Australia, accompanying the snood donation in aid of the distress fund. From this communication it appears net although affairs are not in the most flourishing condition our southern colony, the committee have suced in obtaining the large sum of 9 , 5501 . , and they hope dye a to transmit a further amount. A novel case was decided yesterday by the ft ruagis• skates of Ashton -Lyne. A father had appnticed his sea to • hat manufacturer. and received his wage+. It appeared that he bad quarrelled with his son sad tumid him out of doors, and both had demanded the wages from his employer. The amount hod been paid to the When and the son summoned his employer for the sem so Paid . The magistrate decided to allow the claim. A WHOLE FLOCK 07 SHEEP LOST. Some time between the 9th and 11th of October, t w enty_ hali-beel ewes, in capital condition, the property of Br. Henry Sturges, farrow. Salford, Bedfonlehire, got out of field from • flock at 71 and strange to say have so t sim• been heard of, although the most energetic P"* . 'craws to discover some trace has been &played by Mr. Sturre's neighbours and the Bedfordshire cor stabidory. This is the more extraordinary when it is stated that the sheep are all plainly marked " H. S." co the kit aide, and there is a deep notch on the left ear. Haedtald have been freely distributed, mid the whole roust/ within 36 miles of Salford has been well *d,__"‘ . i Used.
