HOLLAND. Tna HAGu➢, JAN. S.—The Government has de that tam) soldiers of Belgian origin who took p=t-: in the active service of the Netherlands at the lod of the treaty in 1839, shall not be obliged to b , naturalised, in order to their military promotion, that by virtue of the four articles of the law of the -oth July, 1830, they are considered natives of the Netherlands. M. Dronyn de l'Huys is expected at the Hague in the course of a few days, charged with an extra ordinary mission from the President of the French Republic. Baron Gericke has been appointed Netherlands Ambassador at the Court of Belgium. TURKEY. A letter from Constantinople of 25th ult. says : " The French Ambassador has lately had several conferences with the Grand Vizir and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is supposed that they relate to the late events in France. M. Ed. de Lesseps, the French Consul at Aleppo, has just arrived here, ac companied by the persons belonging to his consulate, and several witnesses in the affair of the murder of Father Bazile. This affair, which some time back was stopped from want of sufficient proof, is to be at once resumed. 'The Purte has expressed its de termination to act in the case with the utmost im partiality. On the report of the Finance Minister, the Sultan has issued a firman to regularise the ad ministration of orphans' property, hitherto subjected to daeadful mismanagement. The persons placed at the head of this amount of property have, it appears, been speculating with the proceeds, end thus les sened its amount by several millions. The imperial firman renders the managers for the future fully responsible for the property committed to their charge. The Sultan has also ordered measures to be taken to secure the capital for the future from a dearth of water. Fountains and reservoirs are to be created, in order to render the distribution of the water from the sources of Belgrade more regular." LIBERATION of GENERAL CAVAIGNAC. CORRESPONDENCE WIINIST TH THE PRESIDENT'S MER. (From the Scotsman.) It has fallen to us to be the medium of first publish ing the documents regarding a question which has been made the topic of much dispute, and the facts of which have not hitherto transpired either at London or Paris—the terms and circumstances of the libera tion of General Cavaignac by the French President. The letters, with which we have been favoured from a trustworthy source, and which we proceed to give in translation, need no preface, except it be necessary to inform some readers that M. de Morny is the President's Home (or Chief) Minister, and that Ma dame Odier is the mother of the young lady to whom General Cavaignac was about to be married in a day or two after the 2d of December, when the coup di etat was struck and he arrested. It may be added that the correspondence appears to do credit to both parties—to the spirit of the General, and to the po liteness and dexterity of the Minister. The correspondence began, we believe, with a letter from Madame Odier to M. de Morny, requesting an order of admission to the prison of Ham, in order to have the marriage of her daughter and General Ca vaignac performed there. The Minister wrote the following reply, of which the date appears to have been the 15th or 16th of December:— " Ilsclam,—The President of the Republic found it necessary to take very severe measures in the first mo ments, and could not yield to personal considerations, but he has expressed to me the desire, immediately after the re-establishment cf tranquillity, to restore General Cavaignac to liberty, whose services to the cause of order and society he has not forgotten, and whom he does not confound with the conspirators who meditated the ruin of his power. "Knowing the opinion of all your family, and desiring to give it a proof of his friendly interest, he charges me to say that he would see with pain the eere mony of the marriage of your daughter with the honour able General saddened by the walls of a prison, and to send you an order to set him at liberty. I need not say with what pleasure I execute this commisssion, and I request you to accept the assurance of my profound respect. (Signed) " MORNY." To that letter General Cavaignao replied as fol lows : "Fort of Ham, 17th Nov., 1851. ," Monsieur le Ministre,—Madame t Odier, about to be my mother-in-law, has this instant sent me the order for my liberation._,That order is accompanied by a letter which you have addressed to her. " If the Governor of the Fort of Ham had received the order pure and simple to open to me the gates of that prison, I would also purely and simply have resumed my liberty which has been illegally snatched front me. But the order which relieves me is accom panied by a letter which you could not have considered as confidential, and which fell naturally to be communi cated to me. The commentary which it expresses, and the motives which it ascribes to the power in whose name you act, are not of a nature to be accepted by me. Certainly no one has suffered and does suffer more than I from the sad delays to my union with Madlle. Odier; but I have no apprehension that even she would con sider this a reason for accepting my liberation. I ought to leave this .place, Monsieur le 141inistre, for ono sole reason—viz., that I have done nothing to bring me here. I have no desire to be a prisoner hero in spite of those who have illegally arrested me, but it rests with me, and it concerns my honour to accept of no compromise in consistent with the duty I owe to myself. " In consequence, Monsieur le Ministre, I have the honour to declare to you that I shalt remain here till Fri day, the 19th of the month. At that date I shall deliver to the governor of the fort the order which I retain. If he has received none to the contrary, I shall be entitled to say, and to consider as admitted by the Government itself, that, as I said above, I go out of prison on this sole ground that there is no lawful reason for retaining me here. (Signed) " CAVAIGNAC." It will be seen that this letter intimating the General's intention to remain till the 19th, is dated the 17th ; it would not have been received by M. de Morny till the 18th ; and on the 19th—the very day announced for the exodus—he wrote the following : " General,—ln transmitting to Madame Odior the order for your liberation, I had no other object than to do sn agreeable thing to a family which I love and re spec,;.. I never thought of anything else. " If allowed myself to speak of the sentiments of the President of the Republic, it is (and you know it, Ge neral, bett er than anybody) that, if the great p olitical acts whose o bj ect is the safety of a country sometimes impose stern necessities, they do not efface the senti ments of esteem which may be entertained for an adver sary, a o nd do not fo r bid t h e express i on o f them. You will understand that I do not reply to what you havo done me the honour to say regarding the illegality of your arrest, and that I limit myself to congratula tions that the date selected by you of 19th December is so near at (Signed) " MORON."

(From the Mining Journal.) We have to report a marked improvement in the amount of business transacted since our last publication, while prices generally have been steady, and in some cases improved. Several favourite dividend mines have advanced in value, and bid fair to continuo their upward course. Cern Brea and Wheal (Pries have experienced a decline, which may be accounted for by the decreased amount of ore sales, and non-payment of the u dends. In speculative mines the business has been equally satisfactory, and to a larger amount than usual. The members of the Mining Exchange haring deter mined on the issue of a weekly list of prices, showing the business done in each mine, the public will be able to ob tain a further guide to security in their future opera tions, which cannot fail to be productive of considerable benefit to the mining community. In the Metal Market -English Copper has been in active demand; South American meeting ready sale at 784, and still sought for by purchasers. Tin continues in active demand, and the late advance is fully sup ported. Bence. and Straits have gone off freely, and hi g her prices expected. The extraordinary increased shipment of Tin Plates continues, though a shade less in price than a month ago; altogether the market is in a perfectly healthy state in both these metals. Load re , mains rather dull; an increased quantity being raised has the effect of lowering late rates. In the Bullion Market,-Mexican and South American dollars, buyers at 4s. 11 3. per cz.

PROTEST 0 F THE BIRMI — NGIIAM STEAM STEAM - ENGINE MAKERS' SOC IETY. (From the Birmingham Journal of to-day.) We stated last week that there w ag Birmingham in tention on the part of the operatives employed p apar j e n nt t his b ra nch of manufacturing industry in n to take part in the mo vement of t he Amalgamated Society o f Engineers. We were not unaware of the fact that here, as elsewhere, the proceedings of that body had ex cited much interest. The observation we then made ap plies to the present moment. There have,not, we believe, been any indications on the part of the engineers in this town or neighbourhood to pin in the demands mad e upon the employers in London and Manchester, so far as the shops of Birmingham are concerned. On the con trary, we are assured that a large and important body of operatives not only refuse to take any part in the proceedings of the Amalgamated Society, but are abso lutely hostile to them. It may not be generally known that there are in existence two trade societies connected with engi neering —the one the Amalgamated Society, which consists of engineers, millwrights , smiths, and pattern makers ; the other the Steam Eng ine Makers' So ciety, which is rather mure select in its mem bership. Of this last-named associatio n wo have heard little in th e controversy; an d yet it occupies an important position in the trade. It numbers between 2,000 and 3,000 members, having branches in the prin cipal engineering towns throughout the country; and co nsequently any deci s i on of such a body must have a considerable effect in influencing the settlement of the unhappy dispute between the employers and the em ployed. We are informed that the members of this associa tion in Birmingham number about 100, and including the neighbouring district not less than 500. This body have had the present position of the trade under con sideration. They are of opinion that the movement of the Amalgamated Society is not only uncalled fo - , but unnecessary, and have determined to lend no countenance to their proceedings in any way, di- rectly or indirectly. The Birmingham branch have further resolved to recommend to the general com mittee of management, which is stationed at Man chester, to issue immediately a declaration to the em ployers throughout the country, explanatory of their position and the determination at which they have arrived. We believe that in this decision Birmingham is not singular. The various branches of the association entertain similar views with regard to the present unfor tunate proceedings; and the central committee of ma nagement have cautioned members against being led away by the representations of the Amalgamated Society. They consider that to insist upon the demands made by that body would result in great injury to the trade. Belgium and the' United States are no mean competi tors; an addition of 10 per cent. on many important de partments of machinery would throw England out of the market; and the result would be either the total loss of these branches of the trade, or a reduction in wages to an extent that would enable us to compete with the other machine-making countries. . It mast not, however, be forgotten that there are many operatives connected with the Amalgamated Society in Birmingham, and many who are members of neither body. Numerically they may be stronger than the members of the Engine Makers' Society; but so far as we are aware they have evinced no intention to insist upon a compliance with the demands made elsewhere. If, however, they should do so, we are informed that the employers are prepared to follow the course adopted in Manchester and London, namely, to close their works. At the extensive establishment at Soho, and at the Lon don works of Messrs. Fox, Henderson and Co., we un derstand that notice has been given to the members of the Amalgamated Society to the effect that if they insist upon the demands made upon the employers elsewhere, their discharge is inevitable. We trust, however, that this determination will not be rendered necessary. If it should, great distress will be the result, inasmuch as those who are satisfied with the present position of the trade—who are willing " rather to bear the ills they have than fly to others they know not of"—will be in volved in the same unfortunate circumstances arising from the want of employment, as those who wore really the first cause of the quarrel. SUN, LONDON, MURDE R. NO MURDER ! As a jury that does its duty, and calls a murder a murder, is put into a very invidious situation, it is im possible to find fault with the twelve men who, in face of the summing-up, acquitted Thomas Bare of murder and found him guilty of the infinitely lesser offence of manslaughter. Of the verdict itself, however, we can have but ono opinion, for we can have but one opinion, of the crime. The man had a long-standing quarrel with the poor creature who was so unfor tunate as to be his wife ; she had fled from his presence, for reasons which the sequel has proved not to be groundless, and which are not rendered less valid by the circumstance that it is no longer accounted murder for a man to hunt down and kill his wife ; he had declared that " revenge was sweet," that he would have his revenge at any cost, and did not care how far he had to go for it ; he had set spies and laid a trap to discover the refuge of his intended victim ; he had purchased a flat file and afterwards, very wisely for his purpose, changed it for a triangular file, a much stronger weapon. This he sharpened—a work of no common di ffi culty—and hid about him. Having made his way by a stratagem into his wife's apartment, after a brief altercatio n he inflicted sixteen wounds on her face and the front part of her body, breaking one of her ribs, and severing the pul monies artery. He did his work e ff ectually, for the woman died on the spot, and, on being informed of that fact, he expressed no regret for it; the on l y approach to proper feeling being an admission—which the Jury have done their best to neutralise—that be deserved to be hung for what be had done. Now, if there be such a crime as murder at all, this is mur d er , and murder, as it seems to us, of no common atrocity. The situation of a helpless woman tied to a surly and vindictive brute is bad enough as it is, but when she is obliged to fly for her life, to hide herself under a strange name, and to know that he is using all diligence to find her out, and that the bloodhounds are already on the track, she be comes an object of they profoundest commiseration, for greater wretchedness can hardly be imagined. This was the position of Louisa Bare; and while in this position the terrors that had embittered her existence were realized by the sudden apparition of the murderer bursting into her apartment, just saying enough to point his revenge, and stretching her a corpse on the floor, pierced by sixteen gaping wounds. If this is only man slaughter, what constitutes murder? As the woman who killed her child the other day, and was found guilty of murder, has been respited for a week, and will probably be reprieved, we cannot complain of an inequality in that case. But it is evident that there can no longer be mur der, or at least there need no longer be murder, so far as wives are concerned. A man has only to take a glass of hot brandy-and-water, to abuse his wife, to provoke a reply, and then out with his dagger, and finish the business. When it is done he may say what he likes, abuse his wife's memory, confess himself a sinner, and own to a certain quickness of temper. There is one thing that he may always remember with comfort, and that is, that he will be tried by a jury of husbands. If the punishment of death were wholly abolished, we should at least be spared the sense of inequality. But, with such horrid crimes as that under review punished with the lesser penalty, there is scarcely an imaginable case in which we shall not seem to be exceeding our own standard, if we inflict the extreme penalty. The men who murdered, or tried to murder, Mr. Eastwood the other day had an altercation with him, and had, as they imagined, reason to be greatly incensed with him. In the heat of the altercation, while their voices were still loud, they struck him down, not with a dagger laboriously sharpened for the purpose, but with a roadside stone, and, instead of inflicting six teen serious wounds, they did not inflict one fatal blow. Moreover, Mr. Eastwood was a landlord's agent, not a wife. Now, if Thomas Bare is to be pitied and spared, why are the mon who stoned Mr. Eastwood and throw him into a hole to be objects of unqualified con demnation and abhorrence? It looks like a clashing of standards. In Ireland they kill landlords, and in Eng land they kill wives and children; we in England think it very shocking indeed to settle landlords' arrears in that summary manner, and in Ireland they are probably disposed to criticise the standard of conjugal or parental duty adopted by English juries. But if a rule is good fur anything it is universal in its application. If murder is to be punished with death, then bang murderers of wives and children as well as of landlords; if capital pu nishmentis no longer to disturb our domestic relations, then don't apply it to the relations of landlord and tenant. —Tines . EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CONFIDENTIAL TRAVELLER. At the Liverpool Police-court yesterday (Friday), George Johnston, a confidential traveller and collector, in the employment of the respectable firm of Tyson and Richmond, soap. manufacturers, Black stock. street, Liver pool, was brought before Mr. Mansfield, charged with embezzling various sums of money, amounting altogether to 7291., the property of his employers. The case was heard in the magistrate's private room, but the facts, we are assured, were as follow: — Mr. Joseph Jones, the prosecutor's cashier, deposed that the prisoner had been in the service of Messrs. Tyson and Richmond for about two years; his duties were to solicit orders and collect accounts. He coald at any time go to the ledger, copy out what accounts he thought proper, and collect them; but it was his duty immediately to hand over the money to witness. On the 12th of December the prisoner absented himself, and suspicion becoming excited cir culars were issued in the following week, and sent to the various customers, desiring them not to pay any money to the prisoner. It was then ascertained that the sum of 1001. had been received by the prisoner from Mr. Lupton, tallow-chandler, of Marylebone, on behalf of his employers, and never accounted for. Other sums had also been received from Mr. Harrison, grocer, of Birken head ; Mr. Syers, of Ranelagh-street; and others, none of which had been accounted for, and amounting alto gether to upwards of 700/. Constable Murphy, of the detective force, deposed to tracing the prisoner to Belfast, where he took him into custody. Upon his apprehension a portion of the money embezzled was found upon the prisoner, and upon being told that he was charged with embezzling 7501., and asked where the remainder was, Johnston replied that he did not think it was so much, but admitted that he had carried on the system nearly from the commencement of his employment by the prosecutors. Messrs. Harrison, Lupton, and Syers having respec tively proved the payment of money to the prisoner on his employers' account, ho was fully committed to take his trial at the next assizes. REFORM ix the CUSTOMS DEPARTMENT. On Friday a deputation of Liverp oo l merc hants had an,interview with Lord John Russell, at the Trea sury, for the purpose of representin g t o his Lordship the necessity for an improved administration of the Customs department of the Government. The depu tation was introduced to the Premier by Mr. Card well, ALP. for Liverpool, and among its members were Mr. Littledale (mayor of Liverpool), Mr- Hornby, Mr Turner (chairman of th e Liverpool Dock Committee), Mr. Shand, and about half-a dozen other gentlemen of influence connected with the trade of Liverpool. explained to the Noble Lord the object the l°R dep N u l t r ation bad in view in . requesting that It was not their intention to lay before interview. his Lordship cases of . l hardship which arose under the present. defective and onerous sys tem of Custom : regulations. Such matters of detail . ought more properly to come . before another tri bunal ; and the deputation were therefore anxious that the committee of l ast session, which inquired into the grievances of the . merchants, should be reappointed on the assembling of Parliament . working of to continue their investigations. . The deputation the Custom had now to complain to his Lordship of the general upon . him the necessity of introducing amendments which would obviate the vexatious delays and an house system, and to urge noyances to which the merchant WAS at present . daily subject, and which had the effect of seriously retarding . and . clogging the operations of commerce, without yielding any countervailing advantage, or any . additional . security to the revenue. Indeed, he might mention that, solely owing to the tedious de lays of the Custom-hou se , th e trans i t t ra de of the port of Liverpool was threatened w ith ex tinction. The deputation wished, theref ore , respect f u ll y to suggest to his Lordship that if a l oca l b oa rd was BP pointed at Liverpool, havi ng a j ur i s di ct i on in minor ca ses which, although often of a very trifling signifi' eance, had nevertheless at present t o go through all the formali ty of a reference to the central board in London, great advantage to the merchant would re sult from such an alteration. They would also re commend the selection of a gentleman of practical experience in commercial affairs to co-operate with the other commissioners composing the Board of Cus toms ; and their anxious desire, in fact, was to see the present antiquated and vicious system undergo such a thorough and comprehensive revision as would in sure its adaptation to the altered position of the com merce of the country. Mr. TURNER and one or two other gentlemen having addressed his Lordship in confirmation of Mr. Hornby's remarks, Lord Jour( RUSSELL said he could promise the gen tlemen of the deputation that the subject which they had brought before his attention should be taken into careful consideration, with the view of ascertaining whether any changes might not be effected caculated to render the Board of Customs more in accord ance with the wants of the country. The sub ject should be generally inquired into, but with regard to the sugges ti on th a t some gen tleman of high stuffing in the commercial world should be chosen a member of the Board of Customs, he was afraid there would be some difficulty in car rying out that recommendation, because he thought very few merchants of the requisite character would be found willing to abandon their present avocation for so small an inducement as the comparatively paltry enjoyed by a Commissioner of Customs. oa e m t u h n e e otherro t ion hand, a merchant of the class to whom the salary would really be an object, was not likely to have sufficient weight to satisfy the requirements of remuneration the public. However, he could only repeat his assu rance that the subject brought before him by the de putation should receive serious consideration. The interview then terminated. POLICE INTELLIGENCE WORSHIP-STREET. William a constable of the H division, appeared Mr. Hamtnill, at tho instance of the Metropolitan Police C omm i ss i oners , u p on th e f o llowing charges:-- red beforeileii Baker, Mr. Daniels, the solicitor, stated the case for the pro secution, and called Middlesex street, Elldgate, who stated,—On the Monday or Tues - Barnett, the wife of a grocer in c da o y ir e m s e e r A n c i i n n a g n l e st b r e e f e c t r , e w C n h i r t i e s o t h m a a p s o 1 1 , w i a n s o p o passing y o f throughm my sister - in - law, when we accidentally met a gentleman named Hart, well known to my family, and of whom, as he had just returned from New York, I was anxious to make inquiries a b out one o f w h om is settled there. We had not been l ong in conversation when the defendant came up and ma d e an o b serva tion to Mr. Hart which implied that h e m i g h t ta k e i n decent liberties with me, but neither of us liked to take any notice of the often sive remark, an d I an d m y s ister-in-law, Mrs. Myers, were about to go h ome , w hen the defendant followed up his previ ous i nsu l t by making a disgusting noise with his m ou th at us as we passed h i m. We h a d done nothing whatever to cause his interference with us, and, though naturally indignant at the insult I had re ceived, I did not then report him; but on passing through the same street again on Christmas - night , w ith m y sis ter-in-law an d a young lady named Phillips, the daughter of a neighbour, the defendant again came up to us, and asked if we were not the ladies who had insulted him a few evenings before? I then complained of his insulting , me, and exp resse d my re gret that I had not made a re port of him a t t h e sta ti on , upon which the defendant, with app arent contr i t i on , asked us what we would have him do? I t o ld h i m nothing but make an apology and go about hi s b us i ness , upon which he bogged our pardons for the annoyance he had caused us, and we were walk ing along perfectly satisfied, when my sister-in-law cau• tioued him to b e more careful whom he so insulted in future, as sh e was b o th a married woman and the mother of six children. " M arr ied!" said the:defendant, bursting out into a co arse l aug h, 44 why, don't I know you, and haven't I take n y ou home drunk many times?' , I then became so exasperated at his infamous conduct that I told him 1 would at once report him, and was hastening on for that purpose, when the defendant ran after me, seized me roughly by the arm, said I should not go that way, or if I did he would lock me up for being drunk about the streets, and dragged use along for several yards just like a drunken woman, when h e relaxed his hold of me, and I immediately went to the station and lodged a formal complaint of his gross mis conduct against him. The complainant most earnestly declared that neither she nor her friends had had any thing to drink upon either of the evenings they had been so insulted, and that all of them were perfectly sober. Mrs. Placebo Myers, sister-in-law of the last w it ness , and wife of a general dealer in the same neighbourhood, gave a precisely similar account of the manner in which the former had been treated, and in describing the way in which she herself had been insulted, stated that the defendant not only declared that ho had taken her home drunk upon several occasions, which was totally false, but called her a disorderly character, and that upon her telling him how closely she was to her home, he loudly exclaimed, " Home, indeed! why I could have gone home with you myself many a eight." Miss Abigail Phillips, a milliner, confirmed both the last witnesses in identical terms, with the addition that, upon the second complainant telling the officer she was a married woman, he roughly seized her al so by th e arm, jeeringly laughed at them, and told them he never saw such married women ; he then threatened to luck up the first complainant upon the charge of b e i ng d run k and disorderly. and forcibly pushed her on for four or five yards. Up on seein g such violence witness indig nantly h told h a i r m r i o that ohmeaonu along tgo through ashamed ou g h the streets, himself sets, i n han advanced n top ti u which the const a bl e exc l a i med, " D— her tanffeec wifeted by of a drinksho shoemaker in ak h e e r her life. life.

This witness also s was, uc upon stage of pregnancy as the co m pl a i nan t pro tested the perfect sobriety of all of them, a n d declared th a t she had nev er see n either of the complainants in the s S p i ta lfiolds, who was accidentally pas s i ng at t h e time of the second a ssault and insul t by the constable, also de posed to the same facts the y had done. Inspector K endall, of the II division, stated that at the night i n question a slightest e i g ht o'clock on nion-strset, gentleman en tered the station and complained of the officer 220, who, he said, was so drunk as to be unfit to take care of his beat, and that he had just insulted two ladies, both of whom he had known for some time, and knew to be men. Th re spectable women. The e defendant returned to the sta tion shortly after , and was at that time perfectly sober. Mrs. Barnett, accompanied by her sister-in-law, had pre viously come to the station to complain of having been insulted both then and on a previous evening, and he must also state that the complainants were likewise per fectly sober, though very much excited. The defendant had only been a short time attached to that division, having b een draughted into it at the close of the Exhi bition; but he had always borne a very good character in the force, no reports whatever caving been made against him, and he was generally a steady well-con ducted officer. Egerton, the acting sergeant at the station, also de posed to the defendant's sobriety on the night in (Peti tion. In answer to the charge, the defendant stated that both women were intoxicated at the time referred to, to, and positively denied that he had conducted himself towards them in the manner they had describe& but ac knowledged that he had no witnesses to call to confirm his statement; and Mr. HAMMILL, after severely commenting upon his conduct, which he characterived as so gro ss a violation of his duty as n ot to be for a moment to l e rated, and to call for the strongest condemnation a t once sentence d him to undergo a month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. WE STMINSTER. Mr. John Wyatt, the proprietor of the Crown and Sceptre, Chapter-street, Westminster, was on Friday summoned before Mr. Broderip for keeping his house open beyond the hour allowed by law on Christm as-eve. R William Phipps, 94 --, stated that at 25 min utes p ast 12 on the night in question he was on duty in Chapter street, and heard voices in defendant's house. He knocked at the door, which W as shut, when a voice from within inquired who was there. He replied " Police," and was admitted, in company with another constable, 255 B. He found four or five persons in front of the bar engaged in conversation, but they had no spirits or liq uor of an y so rt before them.

In order to show the feeling by which the constable Phipp s was actuated, George Dawson, a young man living at 4, Chapter street. was called, and deposed that on the Saturday night previous to Christmas-eve be saw Phipps and another constable facing defendant's, and heard Filippa say " Are yea sure you heard voices ? because if you , are we ca n go i n directly, b ecause i t i s pas t twelve.' hearin g Witness betw een t h e constables, heard P hi pps sa y."

FATAL STAB BY A BAILIFF'S FoLLowzi.—Four men, who were employed by the bailiffs of the Liverpool County Court, were on New Year's Day engaged in the levy ing of a distress in Collingwood-street. On arriving with their horse and cart in Great Homer -street, the horse refused to draw; at that moment two nightmen, named Kinks and Clarke, emerged from a spirit vault, and the occasion dr ew . forth some smart chaffing, in w hi c h th e h o rse was invidi ously contrasted with the officers, as to the part he bore m the execution. One of the bailiff's men, named Gallagher, commenced a fight, which soon became general. The night men's implements were taken from them, and Gallagher, who had seized a fork, made a rush with It at Rinks, and stabbed him in the abdomen in so frightful a manner that the poor fellow's bowels protruded. Surgical assistance was immedi ately procured, but the injury terminated fatally. COMMERCIAL DOCKS. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY. A special general meeting of this company was held on Friday at the offices in Fenchurch-street, for con sidering certain new works to be undertaken by the company in consequence of the increase of its business. Robert Carter, Esq., took the chair. Mr. SMYTHERS, the secretary, read the following re port:— " Your directors have the pleasure of stating that the Bill which they were authorised by the court of pro prietors of the 20th December, 1850, to introduce into Parliament, received the Royal Assent on the 3d July las ender the title of ' The Commercial Docks Act, 1811.' In pursuance of the authority of the court of proprietors of the 10th January, 1851, and of the pro visions of the above-named Act, your directors paid the purchase money of 40,0001. as agreed for the East Coun try Dock, and obtained a conveyance and possession of the premises on the ith November last. The deal yards, &c., in that dock, are entirely filled with goods, and the warehouses fairly occupied, paying a present rental which yields a good rate of interest on the purchase money. It has been the policy of the directors for many years past to keep up the premises in a high state of efficiency, au average amount of about 5,0001. per annum having been de voted to that object, out of the earnings of the company, during the last fifteen years; and the whole of the premises are now in so perfect a state of repair that but little expenditure' will be required upon them for some years to come, except for the purpose of afford ing additional facilities to, and saving expense in, the transaction of business iu the docks. Your directors have anxiously and carefully investigated the plans and estimates prepared by their engineers, Messrs. Walker and Burges, for rendering the recently acquired pre mises available for the extended scale of business which they contemplate; and they have also inquired with equal care into the probable increase of revenue, to compensate for the proposed additional outlay; and they now pro ceed to communicate to you the conclusions at which they havo arrived. The plans proposed for present adoption comprise an enlarged entrance from the river into the East Country dock, suitable for ships of the largest tonnage; the extension of that dock, now contain ing only about two acres, to a deep-water deck of six acres; a cut or communication from the same to the Com mercial Dock ; and a railway extending from the Deptford branch of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway into the dock, along the quays, and to the warehouses, as may bo found desirable. The estimates for executing these works, including the necessary purchases of land, and the alteration of roads and sewers, amount to 132,000; add for purchase of East Country Dock, 40,0001.; Parliamentary expenses and contingencies, 8,0001.; making a total expenditure of 180,0001. Of this sum, as explained in the directors' report to the ordinary general court of proprietors, 26,010/. is pro posed to be provided oat of the company's rest; and if the proprietors shall approve of that recommendation, there will remain the sum of 154,0001. to be raised for the completion of the works. Your directors have en tered into communication with the directors of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Com pany, who are so thoroughly convinced that a con nexion with the Commercial Docks would add ma- tonally to the traffic along their line, that they have not only agreed to provide locomotive power and trucks for the conveyance of goods to and from the docks at the same charge to the public as from their own wharf at Deptford, but also to allow to this company a pro portion of their charges for carriage. it is calculated that the receipts from this source from the wharfage, &c., of goods passing to and from the Docks along the South Coast and South-Eastern lines of railway—from the wood imported in large ships, now lust to the docks in consequence of the defi ciency of depth of water at the entrance lock—from the warehousing and other charges ou goods other than those now brought into the docks, but which will be attracted to them by tho superior facilities, and the saving in expense, which they will afford to the public— and from the additional business connexion acquired with the East Country Dock—together with the saving of expense in lighterage and management, will produce an ample return upon the proposed outlay, by which the future dividends of the proprietors will be increased. Your directors, therefore, do not hesitate to recommend that this court do give them full authority to carry out the improvements suggested by Messrs. Walker and Burgess; whereby also a security will be given to the premises, from the possession of two entrances, which has long been desired. In considering the most eligible mode of raising the additional capital required, your directors have been desirous that the advantages from the new works shou ld be confi ned as much as possible to the pres ent p ro p ri etors, and they pro pose to offer them a stock at par, to be entitled to a preference dividend in perpetuity, at the rate of tour per cent. per annum, and to participate with the old stock in the increased dividends which are anti cipated; and in the event of the whole amount required not being taken up by the present proprietors, your directors recommend that they should be authorised either to dispose of the remainder to the public, or to borrow a sufficient amount to make up the total sum required, on mortgage or debentures, or otherwise, as they may deem most to the interest of the present pro prietors. The CILURMA.N moved the adoption of the report, which led to a short discussion, in which Mr. Josiah Wilson raised some objections to the railway portion of the scheme, which he considered would be unprofitable to the company. Mr. Gould, Mr. Dawson, the Chairman, and other di rectors persisted in looking upon the railway as likely to bring great benefits to the docks. The report was then adopted, and the directors were authorised to take measures for raising the necessary capital. 'rho half-yearly meeting of the Commercial Dock Company was then held; Robert Carter, Esq., took the chair. _ _ The report of the directors was ready, from which we make the following extracts:— " Tho wood business at the docks during the past year has been more extensive than at any former period, the tonnage of wood-laden ships entering the docks in 1851 having been 180,414, against 130,150 tons in 1850; 139,652 tons in 1849, and 132,406 tons in 1848. The stock of wood goods on the premises has been largo throughout the season, and at present exceeds that on hand at the close of any previous year. Notwithstand ing tho reduction made in the charges on wood goods in the early part of 1851, your directors have reason to believe that the net profit in this department of the com pany's business will surpass that of 1850, while the re ceipts for dock dues on ships will be considerably in creased. The company's warehouses have been only partially occupied during the past year, in consequence of foreign corn imported having generally been taken from the ship for immediate consumption. The stock in granary is now less than at the corresponding period of last year, and there will be some falling off in the company's profit under this head. Your directors recommend that a dividend for the half-year income-tax), upon declared, of 21. per cont. (f ree from upon the capital stock of the company, and that the same be payable at this office on and after Monday, the 26th inst., between the hours of 11 and 3—Fridays Saturdays excepted. It was s tated to the proprietors, in th e directors' reports of the 14 t h June, 18 14th January, 1843, that they had erected two new ware houses, with the intention of appropriatin g th e i r earn ings for rent to the gradual extinction of their cost. This course has been pursued to the present time; and while the general revenue has been considerably benefited by the profits on receiving and delivering goods into and from these warehouses, the net rent received thereon has amounted to 10,243/. , 14s. I Id., by w hi c h the or i g i na l cost of 12,502 1 . 13s. Bd. has been reduced to 2,2581. 18s. 9d., at which sum these warehouses stand in the com pany's books. Your directors have considered it advis able, under present circumstances, to anticipate th e period at which this balance would be paid off, under the original arrangement, and have directed the above sum to be charged to pr em i ses account ," The report was adopted, and a dividend of 2 per cent. for the half year was agreed to, payable on and after the 26th instant, A cordial vote of thanks was then passed to the chair man, deputy-chairman, and directors of the company for their services during the pas t year. —Adjourned.

In flour business has been checke d b y the hi g h pretensions of holders, but at a further advance of 6d per sack sales to a tolerably fair extent wore effected. Other articles sold more freely at previo us rates. With the exception of about 8,000 loads of oatmeal from Ireland, th e im ports thence and coastwise into Liverpool and Runcorn aro this week scan t y . From abroad the arrivals of wheat and beans are to a liberal amount, but only moderate of Hour. At our market this morning there was only a limited business passing in any article.

We have steady consumptwa trade in flour, but, though bight terms are looked for, we cannot quote any actual advse l a; in prices. The stocks of the article in factor's ban d are very light, and barely sufficient for the requiremet: of the market, so that no speculative sales can be on Coarse flour continues in brisk demand.
