The Marquis of Waterford and Lord John Beres ford have left Charles-street, St. James's, for Curragh more. Waterford. The Marquis and his friends are about to' withdraw their hunting establishment from Melton Mowbray. The Duchess-Countess of Sutherland, after three months' sejour at Dunrobin Castle, will embark on Friday next on board a steam-vessel for Aberdeen, whence her Grace will travel by land to the south, visiting, it is ex pected, the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch at Dalkeith Palace, Midlothian. The Duke of Sutherland, who is heir apparent to the vast domains of her Grace in the north, attended his noble parent on the recent tour of her Grace's estates. Count Hunnyadi is expected at the Clarendon to day from Howden, Yorkshire, where the Count purchased some valuable hunters at the great horse fair to stock his Hungarian estates. SIR WALTER SCOTT'S MONUMENT.—Yesterday (Monday) the foundation-stone of a monument to com memorate the genius and virtues of the late Sir Walter Scott was laid in St. George s-square, Glasgow, with the usual masonic and other honours. About half-past two the procession, flanked by the 9th Lancers, proceeded from the Court-hall up the Salt-market, along Trongate, and Argyll-street, Buchanan -street, St. Vincent-street, to St. George's-square -east by the south, and round to the north side, to the site of the monument. When the junior lodge arrived at the entrance in St. George's-square it halted, and opened right and left, and so on with the other lodges in succession, according to their seniority, in order to allow the grand lodge of Scotland to advance to the site of the monumental column. On arriving, the Grand Marshal proclaimed silence, and the Rev. Dr. M'Leod mounted a temporary rostrum erected for the occasion, and offered up an eloquent and impressive prayer. After the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone had been completed with the usual masonic benediction, the Lord Provost and the very Rev. Principal Macfarlane addressed the multitude at con siderable length. Altogether the spectacle was one of the most gratifying description ; and never on any occasion of a similar nature did we witness proceedings conducted with greater judgment or rorlarity.—G-laseto Courier, THEATRES HA YMARKET. An Operetta, called the Swiss Swains, was brought out last night chiefly for the purpose of exhibiting Mrs. Way lett in a new character. The words are by Mr. Webster, the music by Mr. Alexander Lee. The following is the plot :—Jeannette Glib ( Mrs. Tayleure) an old housewife, objects to the attachment felt by her daughter Rosetta (Mrs. Waylett) to her nephew Walter (Collins), and ac cordingly causes the latter to be sent into the army by her influence with the burgomaster, and compels Rosetta to ac cept for her lover a wine-bibbing swain called Swig ( Web ster.) By the way " Swig" and " Glib" are not very Swiss like names. Os the very day which -is to unite Rosetta and Swig, while the latter has in his pocket the wedding portion and the mother's written consent, Walter suddenly returns. The old lady orders him to be gone, and vows that he shail not have Rosetta till he can produce fifty pieces of silver, as well as her own consent in writing, which she re gards as an impossibility. Rosetta and 'Walter alleviate their sorrows by playing all sorts of tricks on poor Swig. First the lady places a ladder against a tree, which she persuades Swig to ascend on pretence of giving him a lesson in the art of serenading, and then suddenly removes the ladder, leaving him seated on a very high branch when he is compelled to witness a scene of courtship be tween his ladye-love and Walter. The old mother, as a punishment for this proceeding, locks Rosetta up in a cot tage while she goes out, but the ingenious daughter per suades Swig to set a ladder against the window, promising a glass of wine as a reward. When she has descended she allows him to tap two barrels of wine belonging to her mother. He bores them with a gimlet, and is compelled to see another love-scene between Rosetta and Walter, hold ing his thumbs all the while to the apertures in the barrels, lest the liquor should escape. Finally, Walter challenges Swig, gives him a pistol loaded with powder, and when he has fired, falls back, pretending to be mortally wounded. Swig is aghast at the prospect of being hanged for murder, and Walter promises that he will confess he has committed suicide, provided Swig will give him the consent and the marriage portion. Swig complies, and of course Walter revives, and produces to Jeannette the consent and portion as required. An officer, whose life Walter has -saved in battle, gives him his discharge and a splendid farm, the old lady is delighted with the match, and the bridegroom makes Swig happy by presenting him with the portion, and pro mising wine ad libitum. This is improbable, but it seemed to tell very well. The music, consisting of light ballads, was equally successful. ST. JAMES'S. An operatic burletta, called The Cornet, was brought out on Wednesday night. The music is light and pretty, though without any peculiar feature, and the plots turns on the eircumstance of a Polish lady and her waiting-maid dis guising themselves as Cornets, and following to his regi ment the husband of the former, an officer in the Russian service, The interest of the piece is decidedly not intense, the mental exercise required to produce the plot could not have been very painful ; indeed, some ill-natured people might call it a story about nothing. But, however, the audience (excepting a few critical souls, who would hiss) seemed amused, and hence we presume the end is answered. Miss Rainforth and Miss Julia Smith, who performed the lady and the innkeeper's girl, sung very nicely. THE Q UEEN S. We understand this pretty little theatre will be re-opened soon, with an excellent company, and under circumstances more promising of success than those which have heretofore existed. The lease has been taken by Miss Desborough, who is so advantageously known by her spirited manage ment of the Richmond Theatre during the season which is now closing. Miss Desborough, both as manager and actress, we anticipate, will soon become a decided favourite with a London audience, IRELAND. ---------- DUBLIN, OCT. 4. MURDER OF MR. ANDREW GANLEY.—We are led to copy the following report of a Coroner's Inquest giving it in integro from th e co l umns o f th e Mail of the above date, because we have little doubt that that journal, with all the other papers in the pay of the Orange party, will make this report a cheval de bataille, from which the political poltroons may discharge their venomous attacks upon the friends of the people. They will no doubt protest long and loudly that the fatal result which appears to have fol lowed the beating of Andrew Ganley, is conclusive evidence of the existence of Ribbonism. Nor shall we he surprised if the wretched organs of that party which might appro priately be designated the inveterate and implacable op pressors of the many do not stop here. Experience of their utter recklessness and defection from all truth and decency, ,eads us to look for a more monstrous stretch still of men• dacious malignity. We already have the tocsin sounded by the Mail. We shall soon hear that murder stalks abroad throughout the land—that the Roman Catholics have entered into a foul and bloody conspiracy—that it is a dreadful and wide-spreading plot, and so forth—the object of which, of course as a corollary of the pions inven tion, it will be declared is to exterminate the Protestant religion, and massacre its conscientious professors ! Happily, however, the motives of these miserable men— mora contemptible by their political vileness even than in their miserable minority—are now notorious. They have lost the confidence of all but of those few dupes whose cre- dulity is co-extensive with the brazen baseness of the politi cal knaves who live and batten Fon the sale of delusion. The following is a verbatim et literatim report of the lamentable private transaction, which, it is anticipated, will form the subject of much Tory talk and Orange declamation. On Monday, Alderman Perrin and a respectable Jury held an inquest in No, 2, Lurgan-street, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances connected with the death of Mr. Andrew Ganley, who was waylaid and beaten in Ral ston-street, on the night of the 22d of September last, and expired on Sunday morning. The first witness examined was-. Peter IVl‘Carroll—This witness, on being sworn, stated that he did not know anything about the " beating" of the deceased on the night he was beaten. Was in bed before eight o'clock that evening. There was no such expression used as that " 111‘Carroll was coming with a spade, and would split the heads of the party." Never said that he used such an expression on that night. Lived in Halston street. Did not know, and did not say he knew, the spot on which the deceased was beaten. Did not go to sleep till an hour after he went to bed, and did not hear any noise in the street. Mr. James Ganley (brother to the deceased)—lf a per son swore that you did know about the matter, and that you were present, what would you say ? Witness—All I can say is, that I know no more about the matter than the child unborn ; knew Mr. Doyle, of the egg-market ; he was a respectable man, ar. I was deserving of belief ; never told that gentleman anything about the matter ; the first he heard of it was from Mr. Doyle. Mr. James Doyle sworn—The witness (M'Carroll) showed him the place on which the man was murdered, and told him that he ran out with a spade, when one person cried out, " here is Nl‘Carroll, he will cleave you with the spade ;" asked him if he knew any of the persons. and be said they came from the Coal-quay market ; this occurred the day after the transaction. Thomas Daly examined—Lives in Hulston•street ; was in that street between four and five o'clock on the evening in question, and not out after that ; was in the house when he heard the noise in the street ; heard a man beaten as it were with sticks ; ran to the door ; " there is some man beating here," said he (witness) ; came to the door again and saw a man running by ; got a candle and went over to the place where the man was lying ; got him up on a car, and had him conveyed away ; one of the party - ran into Ball's-lane ; he came from the side of the street where the man was beaten, and that was the only reason which made him (witness) suppose that he was one of the party ; to the best of his opinion heard the deceased say, " Do not murder me ;" would not know the run away man he ran so quickly ; believed that he wore shoes. Mary M'Carroll examined—All she know about the cir cumstance of Ganley's " beating" was, from hearing of it the next day ; her husband did not stir out the whole night ; he did not go out from the time he went to bed till he got up in the morning ; did not hear any noise in the street, for God knows she could hear but badly then. _ _ _ Matthew Nolan examined—Lives in Halston-streei lives with Mr. Smith ; recollectstilenight of the 2•? d ; had come in from the stable about nine o'clock on that eve ning, when he heard a scream, and a person shouting out " murdur, murder ;" ran out ; saw a man passing up the street ; saw another man running up a lane, and also a black object lying on she street ; came up to the man ; he (deceasedysaid " Take me out of this ;" " Why, what is the matter with you—are you injured ?" asked witness ; " Oh yes," he replied, " I am gone ;" told his master about the matter ; his master saw the deceased, when placed upon the car, and he made the observation that he could not be so much injured as he was represented to be, or be would not be able to sit upon a car the men had uo bludgeons ; it did not appear to him that their faces were blackened. Henry Goodwin examined—Recollects the night that Mr. Ganley was beaten ; was standing at the fountain at the time ; heard " the beating," and ran towards the place where the noise was, but the men had fled before he came up ; was told by a young woman and man that the men had ran away ; would know the young man who told him so. John Ganley, examined—ls brother to the deceased ; produced two documents which were handed to him by his brother aftcr he was beaten, and which he gave as the reason of his being beaten : FIRST LETTER. " Thady Hanly—l suppose you are determined to continue your dealing with the Hanoverian ; but recollect what the consequences will be, and also recollect there was intercession made for you this time, as, perhaps, not knowing what Ganley and Garrett done, the two Hanoverians, after refusing several clergymen. Mullony may look out for himself, an ye both could not but hear what he done. There arc other persons dealing with Ganley who 'has quit him, and also those who are with him at present, and begs to have this time free ; but let them mark the consequences next time—let them not think this will be forgot like the last time when his brother shot the man in Longford. There is a sharp look out for little King, who will meet the fate of others. " Addressed—Mr. Thady Hanley, at Mrs. M'Dermott's, Bridge-foot, street." SECOND LETTER " Donegan—You may prepare your coffin the mo men t th e last egg is counted, for giving your eggs to that bloody orange villain, Ganley, and also any other person from your country will be treated in the same manner. Signed by the friend of the Society. " Addressed—Nichls. Donegan, Egg Market." His brother was convinced that the hostilities threatened in the letters were followed up by the beating which he received. His brother said he did not know the persons who assailed him. Mr. James Lynch examined—ls a surgeon ; saw the de ceased upon the night of " the beating ;" he had four wounds upon the head, and his hand was broken ; he was attacked with fever ; the fever abated, and about five days after the beating his brain became diseased ; he died on Sunday morning ; the cause of his death was two frac tures upon the head ; the wound upon the top of his head was something like a sword wound ; it might have been inflicted with a spade ; the wound upon his hand was occa sioned by a stick. John Dunfield examined—Recollects the night of the 22d ; was coming down from his work about nine o'clock ; heard two blows struck, and a man cry " murder ;" ran towards the place from which the noise came, and saw the man lying in the channel, and also the shadow of a man escaping ; raised the man up, and as he fell back again, he was obliged to call upon the spectators to assist him, which they did, and the deceased was placed upon a car ; the spectators were all strangers to him (witness.) Margaret M'Carroll examined—Was in bed on the night of the 22d, when the deceased was 'beaten. Her ; father was in bed when the man was beaten. Heard a person in the street crying out " Murder." Asked a woman what was the matter, and she replied that a man was beaten in the streetl Her father asked her (witness) what she was doing, and told her not to beat the chilli.. She (witness) replied that she was not beating the child, but that the noise was made in the street, where some persons were beating a man. " Hold your noise," said her (witness's) father. Witness contradicted herself as to this expression, and most emphatically denied that she, her mother, or her father, knew anything about " the beatinff." She closed, and put a spade against the door that night before she went to bed. The spade which was found in Mr. M'Carroll's dwel ling was here produced, and the surgeon said that the wound inflicted upon the deceased's head might have been caused by that implement. Robert Saul examined—The witness (M'Carroll) also told him that he ran out with the spade when the man was " beating," and that the crowd exclaimed, " Here is M'Carroll with the spade, and he will cleave your skull." M'Carroll was again examined, and he denied having made any such statement to Mr. Doyle or the last witness ; upon his oath he did not do so. The witness was again sworn by Alderman Perrin, to im press more forcibly upon him the obligation of an oath, but he persisted in his declaration that he did not make any such statement to either of the gentlemen. He also stated that it was he who shut the door and put the spade against the door, and that he did not hear any noise at all except the crying of the child at the foot of his bed ; witness was 67 years old. Margaret McCarron was re-called, and she persisted in the testimony which she had previously given, in reference to her putting the spade to the door, and the noise in the street ; the only difference in her evidence was, that she did not make use of the word " noise" to her father. Eliza Deaker examined—Had a conversation with McCarron the morning after the deceased was beaten, in which he told her that his daughter called him up on the night of the 22d, and that he ran out with a spade. He also pointed out the spot where the deceased was beaten. M'Carroll was a third time examined and he denied that he made such a statement to any. The brother of the deceased here put the Bible into witness's hand, and witness, alter much equivocation, an swered to a question repeatedly put to him, that no person ever desired him, since the death of Mr. Ganley, to sup press the facts. Alderman Perrin said that he regretted to see so old a man as witness perjuring himself, when no object could be attained by it. Mr. Peter Ganley requested the Coroner to detain M'Carroll in custody, in order that he might be indicted for perjury, for such barefaced perjury never waa before heard of. Alderman Perrin said be would band the man over to he police authorities, for he never before saw such a shock- in' old man. M'Carroll was taken into custody and brought to Henry street Police-office, where he was remanded for examination. The Jury deliberated for a short time, and returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased died in consequence of a beating which he received upon the -night of the 22d September, by some person or persons unknown. COMMERCIAL DISTRESS. PUBLIC MEETING IN BIRMINGHAM. Pursuant to a numerously signed requisition, including the names of the most influential inhabitants of every po litical distinction, a meeting was convened at the Town Hall on Wednesday, for the purpose of considering and re ceiving the report of the Committee of merchants, bankers, manufacturers, tradesmen, and workmen, respecting the general distress, difficulty, and embarrassment of the com mercial classes. Among the company present were the high and low bailiffs, Robert Webb and James James, Esqrs., the two Members of Parliament, Thomas Atwood and Joshua Scholefield, Esqrs., Messrs. W. Chance, R. Spooner, Van Wart and Godbold, extensive American merchants, and a numerous muster of other gentlemen, not only connected with the trade of the town, but with America. Mr. G. EDMONDS, in proposing the high bailiff to take the chair, remarked, as the meeting consisted of all po litical classes, Tories, Whigs, and Radicals, he begged they would abstain entirely from party feeling. Mr. RICHARD SPOONER rose—l do most conscientiously believe that a more important meeting never was convened before me. This manufacturing district is in a state of distress which ought not, must not, continue, and which we will try to alleviate. In referring to monetary matters, he said the credit of this country is built upon a too narrow basis—there is nothing will afford a full, clear, and sufficient relief but a difference in the circulating medium—not the arglmzentum ad hominem; but the argumentum ad pochetum. He recollected the Earl of Stanhope once asking the Earl of Liverpool why he preferred gold as the standard of this country ? The reply was this—" England, being the richest country in the world, should have the richest standard ; or, to use an old saying, they who drive fat oxen should them selves be fat." If they, the working classes, imagined their sufferings would be alleviated by the present Mi nistry, they were labouring under a mistake, for such a thing, in his humble opinion, would never occur, but be an entire delusion. Mr. Spooner then read the report, which .was as follows : REPORT. " 1. That the following report be approved and adopted : " Your Committee feel it their painful duty to state that the distress of this town and neighbourhood is very great ; that they see no reason to anticipate any speedy or effectual relief. The alternations of great apparent prosperity and sudden deep distress which have invariably attended the expansion or con traction of the currency prove, beyond doubt, that to our mone tary system is mainly to be attributed the present general end alarming distress. In the opinion of your Committee no per manent relief can be given while that system which has been proved so liable to fluctuations is suffered to continue. Your Committee cannot but express its decided conviction that the effectual and permanent relief of the general distress is a ques tion paramount to all others ; and that nothing can accomplish this great and important object but such a revision of our pre sent laws as shall tcad to the adoption of a monetary system adequate to the wants of this great commercial community." _ _ Mr. SAMUEL HUTTON stated that he had called in at the Excise Office that morning, and the reduction in the last quarter's revenue in that town was upwards of 10,0001. This was a proof of the distress existing there. Mr. CORBET- (following Mr. Hutton), mentioned that beef, pork, and mutton used to be the food of the people of England—it is now an absolute fact bread and water is, and in numbers of instances that could not be attained, at least a sufficiency' of bread. The whole are to be traced to the working of the monetary system, and th - tough that system starvation stalks over the land. Is it t 4 be expected the workmen will lie down without complaints ? They have been degraded by this cruelty. An example is set this day that will travel like lightning throughout England—this day will decide an important crisis. Mr. ATTWOOD then rose, and was loudly cheered. I can not but with a feeling of deep and melancholy satisfaction address you. I thought it my duty to lend my assistance to this great and good cause. The Committee did me the honour to request me to draw up a petition to Lord Mel bourne, all political opinions combined in one common centre. This I have done—it will not only give satisfac tion . to my poorer neighb ours , b ut to a ll t h e poorer c l asses . I HUN got, out of the wg 22 ye4g ego, you ought to bo. happ,er than ever—so you would if they would give you fah, instead of half wages, and thousands of others that earn nothing, comparatively speaking, nothing. Therefore I feel it my duty, as I did in the year 18'24, to call upon the Governmmt to listen to your petition, and if we are 'sent back with thi s memorial, the mass of the people will say, " We have bold hearts, and strong right arms to defend our just cause." The Report of the united Committee having been read, a long memorial to Lord Melbourne was unanimously agreed to, for Which We have not space to-day. The Me morial is the production of Mr. Attwood, and enters at large into the matters contained in the Report above. Mr; 111‘KAY said it is decidedly the best article (allud ing to the memorial) manufactured in England, or, in fact, in ifieworlil. Whosoever made it, is possessed of two very able qualifications—namely, a wise head and an holiest heart, on behalf of the 13,000 unemployed mechanics of Birmingham. As they have begun they will continue, and "not rest satisfiedlill every working man and their families have plenty of good bread, beef, and beer. Ido applaud the man that comes forward and ameliorates the condition of the 13,000 working men ; it is not only their blessing goes with him, but of thousands and tens of thousands of their families and friends. The memorial is to be presented by the Members, &c. Mr. COLLINS rose to propose a resolution to the fol lowing effect. The distress',• that is at present existing among them is exciting the worst feelings in the whole of the masses, in 99 cases out of 109 families ; the centre of that family is the centre of suffering : there is a point of endurance beyond which it were not well for the Govern ment to press. I wish it to be understood, fellow-work men, be fixed in you: determination, and your homes and country will be ultimately happy and successful. After some further remarks from Messrs. B. Hadley, Douglas, W. Chance, Salt, G. Edmonds, Van Wart, and others, the remaining resolutions were agreed to and adopted. A vote of thanks to the Chairman, for the able man ner in which he had conducted and presided over the meet ing, three times three cheers for our youthful Sovereign, and the meeting separated, and returned quietly to their respec tive homes. During the whole of the proceedings there was not the slightest disturbance, although upwards of 10,000 persons had congregated together at onetime in and out of the hall. CHOLERA AT PALERMO. A gentleman of this neighbourhood (Bury) has favoured us with the following interesting account of the dreadful spread of the cholera at Palermo, from a letter which he received from a friend, dated Mount Etna, August :31, 1837 : " I left Palermo on the 2d of June on a visit. On the 10th I received a letter from Palermo, dated the Bth, stat ing that on the 7th two boatmen had died suddenly, under symptoms which created fear of cholera. The medical faculty were undecided ; but the police thought proper to segregate all the individuals who had had contact with the deceased (70 in number) from the rest of the population. They were all shut up in a building outside the walls. I returned to the capital on the 12th, and found that no new case had taken place, either among the se gregated individuals, or in any other part of the town. Many, whose minds in the first instance had suffered much excitement, were now, quieted, and those who did. not consider the cases of a choleric nature turned the whole into ridicule. 1 prepared for making my usual retreat to the mountain for the summer months, and had made my ar rangements to leave Palermo on the 18t 'n of June. Ore the 14th two individuals were reported ill, with symptoms of cholera. New agitation, and a most terrible rush to the environs of the city and interior of the island. On the 15th one of the two died ; the other continued to lingr e , and the medical people did not consider the first case cholera. I left Palermo on the 16th. On the 17th the second per son died, and on the 18th a third in the same house. The medical men now divided and formed two 'parties —one for Asiatic cholera, the other common country cholic, each having a different method of cure. Cale; from the 18th began to show themselves in various parts of the city ; and. about the 24th the disease began to show itself in its true colours, almost all those attacked dying. Among the li mited English society, four fell victims among the early cases. About the 26th it broke out with unheard-of fury, in vading every . part of the city, carry i ng o ff upwards of 1,000 a night, for the time of its gr ea t est carnage was from sun set to sunrise, whenit rested to regain new vigour. About this time the medical men (with a very few exceptions) left home, all flying awa y or conceal i ng themselves. No assistance could be procured. The dreadful idea, which was held for a fact, of the malady being contagious, per vaded and oy , erwly.finnd every mind ; hence every one was afraid to assist Ins f r i en d, ne i g hb our , an d even i nmate ; an d at this time I am assured that the most heartbreaking s.2enes touk place. Sauve qui pent was the death-yell— the feelio.g which took hold of every heart. It is said that cases of unheard-of barbarity were practised by the higher 'lasses towards their inferiors and domestics, turning them out of their establishments to die where they best could, which was of course in the streets. The disease invaded all the neighbouring villages ; and at Olivazza, where every house and hovel was full of runaways from Palermo, it broke out with a violence greater than even in the city. One-third of the population were hurried into eternity in the course of ten days. I lost both the servants I had left in charge of my house. Duke Serradifalco, my next door neighbour, lost six domestics—escaping himself and daughter by miracle ; in fine, by the 7th of July the disease began to abate a little ; before that time, there were days of 2,000 deaths, and up to the 24th of July the deaths exceeded 26,000, or one-sixth of the inhabitants! Scarcely a single family has escaped without losing some of its members —the whole city in mourning. The Viceroy Cam pane°, Camici, and Duke San Martino, the Ministers of State, all lost their wives. My people in Palermo all escaped, with the exception of a Sicilian servant. It appears now to have ceased, but is making the tour of the island. The police and small military force which were in Palermo acted with the most efficacious energy, pre venting the evil-intentioned exciting disturbances, which they tried to do under the false pretence that the disease . was to be attributed to poison administered order of Government. Public order was never seriously disturbed, although threatened by those miscreants. Not so with many surrounding villages. Horrid deeds were perpe trated, too shocking and too disgraceful to describe. Troops early in July. began to arrive from Naples, and marched into all these places, restoring order and pu nishing the guilty. On this side of the island, and par ticularly at Syracuse, under the usual pretence of poison, the people rose on the authorities and massacred the whole in the most barbarous manner. Catanea, where the disease had not reached, rose in rebellion, deposed the au thorities, named others, and declared their independence. At this critical moment (in another 24 hours dreadful scenes would have taken place) troops arrived from Naples —landing near Catanea, the people returned to order—so with Syracuse. Many have been already tried by courts martial and shot,—others in process of examination. The cholera has now, I am most sorry to say, broken out at Catanea, and among the first victims have fallen my dear friends John and William Rose ; a niece preceded then, a few hours, and an Italian clerk followed them to the grave. These arc awful lessons. I have taken my stand here, although within twenty miles of Catanea. lam so high up the mountain, that I do not expect it will reach me, although I have no doubt it will spread all over the plain. God's will be done ; if I am called, if it be to himself, let the hour approach."--Bury Herald. Hcr Royal Highness the-. Princess Augusta of Saxony was visited by Viscount Palmerston, Count d'Aglie, Hon. Charles A. Murray, and several persons of distinction yesterday at Mivart's Hotel. Her Royal Highness and suite did not return from viewing the Thames Tunnel and the 'Power until after six in the evening. On Saturday morning the borough of Bolton was disgraced by a fight between two brutes in human shape, who conducted the battle in a way that one would hardly expect to hear of in a civilised country. Two men, named James Caunce, of Rufford, and John Bolton, of Croston, who were attending the market with their garden produce, quarrelled; and agreed to decide the dispute by a real up and-down Lancashire , fight, in Old Hall-street. The com batants stripped, and of course, like two genuine Lanca shire fighters, were soon prostrate on the pavement toge ther. Bolton was under, and his first display of canniba lism was to seize the thumb of Caunce with his teeth, which he bit with such severity that Caunce roared out, " He is biting." Some of the bystanders then interfered, and at tempted to separate the parties, when Caunce, in retalia tion, caught Bolton by the left ear with his teeth, and kept such a firm hold that when they were parted the whole of the exterior of Bolton's car was completely torn off, which Caunce disgorged on the pavement with the greatest cool ness. Bolton lost the rim of his right ear in a similar ren contre some years ago.—Manchester Guardian. PRESTON.-There has not this week been quite so much activity in the cotton trade, as was the case in the two preceding weeks. There is no decline in public :confi dence, nor has any visible reduction taken place in the prices of either the raw or manufactured material: There is on the whole little to complain of in this town. As re gards the labouring population, e mployment is tolerably plentiful, and provisions unusually cheap. —Manchester Guafdian. On Wednesday morning a seaman named Site() ck, who bad just returned from Trieste, while in the act of getting on board a lighter lying off Pickle Herring-sts.irs, Dockhead, Bermondsey, fell into the stream, was car tied away by the current, and sank to rise no more. His 'body has not yet been found. The deceased 'gas about 27 years of ago, _~~
