At the weekly court of directors of the Bank of England no alteration was announced in the mini mum rate of discount, which still remains at 2 per Cent. In the general discount market there continues to b e very moderate inquiry, and first-class short dated Paper can be readily negotiated at 1 per Cent. Again there were no gold operations of import ance at the Bank of England to-day. 'The Im -I,6ratriee Eug('-mie has arrived at St. Nazaire, from the West Indies, with specie amounting to .£54,720 ; and the Saxonia at Southampton, from New York, with £2,010 for England, £37,219 for France, and £OlO for llamburgh. With regard to the Royal Bank of Liverpool a Meeting of creditors took place yesterday, after which a circular was issued calling two meetings of shareholders, one to take place on the 7th Novem ber) for the purpose of obtaining their assent to registration as a limited company, with a view to the Winding up under the Act of 1862 ; the other to Meet on the 11th November, to pass a resolution that the company 'continue its business, and that it is advisable not to wind up the affairs. The failure of Messrs. Braybrook and Slater, Ma nufacturers, of Blackburn, has been announced. The liabilities are small, not exceeding £26,000. A meeting of the Port Phillip and Colonial Gold Mi ning Company will take place on the 30th instant, when the following resolutions will be pro- Pese d " That a further distribution of one shilling per share on account of the profit be made by the company during the current year, and that the B artle be payable, free of income tax, on the Ist November next. Also, that the directors be authorised henceforth to make and declare such distribution on account of dividends, between the Ordinary general meetings of shareholders, as they m ay deem advisable, out of the current profits of t he year in hand, without the sanction of an extra ordinary general meeting. The finances show a silr llins, after discharging every liability in England, of £8,797 ; the present dividend will absorb £4,875 ; and, after deducting 10 per cent. for the Reserve fund (£487), will leave a balance of £3,435 to be carried forward." A report of the Land Mortgage Bank of India as been issued preparatory to the meeting to be h eld, on th e 31 st i nst. In the Bengal and Madras 4:re sidencies nothing has occurred worthy of remark, a nd the b us i ness of the b ank is as heretofore satis f aet nry. The continued commercial depression at . e nthay has prevented any material improvement ththe value of some o f th e pro p er ti es mor tgaged to e bank, and delayed their realisation. To protect their interests an d o b v i a t e d e l a y, the directors, in ' N IaY last deemed it essential that a member of the board should proceed at once to Bombay, and Mr. ° Yaon, whose long experience in India rendered in f especially fitted to undertake this responsible mission left England i n J une fo r that Presidency. e will subsequently visit Calcutta and Madras. 'Pon his arrival ,at Bombay in the following Month, h e a t once proceeded to institute a most minute inquiry into the state of properties mort gaged to the bank, and in reference to the general inanagement to take such steps as appeared to him l ender the circumstances to be necessary. The re- Ports which he has forwarded to this country, while en flaming, at present valuations, the original esti mate of loss, convey much information that is very reassuring as to the general position of the bank's affairs at Kurrachee and Bombay ; but in view of a continuance of the present disturbance of confi dence in that presidency, the board propose to adopt Mr. Boyson's recommendation that provision he made for a further possible depreciation of £20,000. The board avail themselves of this opportunity of stating that the only liabilities of the Bank are its debentures, and that there is no intention to Make a call upon the shareholders. The secured income of the company for the present year, after provid ing for debent ure i n t eres t an d s i n ki ng funds, and char ges of every description, and after setting aside a further sum to augment the reserve fund, enables the directors now to recommend an interim pay- Irte rit on account of dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. r annum upon the paid-up capital of the bank, bo be payable on and after the 14th proximo, free of ill eerne ta x .i , t 0 this last week's railway receipts, ascertained up this day, are in round figures as under :- 1867. 1866.

There were no gold operations at the Bank to-day. The unsettled state of European politics has, during the past week, had an unfavourable in fluence on American securities in common R ith other stocks. United States 5-20's at one time de clined to 67/, and the 1865 issue to 66/, but from these quotations there has been a reaction, and they close 691 to 1, and 671 1 respectively.

THE FORTIICOMING MICHAELMAS TERM.—Yes terday the list of ,arrears for the Common Law ()ends for the ensuing term were prepared, and to-day, at the termination of the long vacation, they will be exhi bited. The number in the Queen's Bench is large, 134, of which there are 91 in the special paper for argument ; in the Common Pleas there are 68, and in the Exchequer only 20, making in the three courts 222. Tho new trials amount to 49 in the three courts-27 in the Queen's Bench, 15 in the Common Pleas, and 7 in the Exchequer. Besides the number already mentioned in the Queen's Bench there are 16 enlarged rules. In the Common Pleas there are 15 enlarged rules, 8 matters for judgment, and 30 demurrers, whilst in the Exchequer, besides the new trials, there is ono error and appeal for judgment, 2 rules in the peremp tory paper, and 10 rules in the special paper. Next Michaelmas term will present a very different appearance Now rules will be made to facilitate the hearing of appli cations by the Masters of the three courts at the judges' chambers ; and the new County Court Act will take away a good deal of common law business—so much so, that it is anticipated that no additional judges will now ho re quired iu On 091 4 1 11191.1141 T c9tlrta.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Roche). IN RE SIR HENRY CIIUDLEIGII OXENDEN, BART. This bankrupt was described as of Dover, and to-day was appointed for the first meeting. The bankrupt ascribed his failure to the insufficiency of income. He owes £722 to between 60 and 70 creditors, all tradesmen. A day was named for the nest meeting. (Before Mr. Commissioiler Wi11.5.10W.) IN lIE A. DE LAVIGERIE. This bankrupt was described as of 26, Henrietta street, Covent-garden, general manager of the Universal Tourist Company (Limited), and to day was appointed for the last examination by order of discharge. The debts arc £233, and the assets, good debts, £58.1, and doubtful i , 415, showing a surplus of £706. Bankrupt claims £403 from the promoters of the company. Mr. Sykes, for the assignees, briefly opened the proceedings, and then examined the bankrupt, who said he had given bills for the accommodation of the company. The directors of the company owed bankrupt £2OO. He had asked for the money, but could get 110 answer, nor had any proceedings been taken. Had never been bankrupt before. His honour asked the bankrupt if a person named Guerdon had not inserted some advertise ments for the company ? Bankrupt believed he had. His Honour—Who promoted the company 1 Who got it up ? Bankrupt—Mr. Fleet. It was started in August 1866. His Honour—You must supply a full account of your connection with the company, and the case will be adjourned for that pui2ose. Adjourned accordingly. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Cornmis6ioner Kerr.) NO MONEY EXCHANGED AFTER TAKEN FROM THE BAR.-HICKS V. MORGAN. This was an action to recover 2s. 6d. in lieu of a counterfeit half-crown alleged to have been given in change by defendant, who Imps the King's Arms, 141, Houndsditch. Plaintiff deposed that he wasemployed at Messrs. Good and Cousens', and he had occasion to change a sovereign, which was part of his wages. Ile went to the defendant's, and, calling for some beer, re ceired 19s. 10d. in change, the coin in question be ing amongst the number of coins given. Defendant said that he had ro recollection of giv ing plaintiff change, but there was a board placed in a conspicuous part of his liar which said "No money exchanged after taker from the bar." His Honour—Have you brought that board with you ? Defendant—Yes, here it b. Plaintiff must have seen it, and he ought to have examined his change. Of course, if the case had been that of a little girl I should have paid the mmey, but plaintiff can read. His Honour (after looking at the board)—l am of opinion that the defendart has protected himself by using that board. He it entitled to do as the authorities at the railway stations do, and persons taking change should be cxeful after such a cau tion to examine it carefully. If they neglected to do so they could not afterwxds sue the tradesman, and in this case defendant vould have a verdia. Verdict for the defendant THE CUSTOM AT AUCTIONS -- HURENTZ V. LEAH. This was an action to ncover a sum of money stated to be the value of apianoforte entrusted to defendant for sale by auctbn. Plaintiff alleged that he told defendant not to sell the instrument under ; certain price. Defendant stated that m such limit was fixed, nor would the goods have oeen received upon such terms, as it was not the Justom with auctioneers to receive gools with a licit unless advances had been made upon them. As there was a direct caact of testimony upon this point, the parties electal to have the case tried by a jury. POLICE IN TEL LIGNN CE— This Day.` MANSION HOUSE. THE AGENT OF THE UNTTLD STATES.—Mr. Wilson Agar, who, it was alleged, lad described himself as an accredited agent to the Jnited States' Govern ment, appeared to answer r summons charging him with having detained some wearing apparel, books, and papers belonging to Join Tuff. It appeared that the complainant had lived with the defendant, who had represented himself as an agent appointed to negotate matters relative to property on bohalf of the United States Govern ment which affected the interests of the late disaf fected States, and some tine ago he had to go to Paris, leaving his wife ald children at Wilson Agar's house. When le returned the door was shut in his face. The case had come before Mr. Barker, at Clerkenwell, but the sum mons had been given u p because it was out of the jurisdiction. John Tuff, a civil enginer, said that he went to Paris on the 30th August. He last saw Mr. Agar as he was returning from Faris on the 21st or 22d September; he was going there. Witness went to Canonbury, but was refused admission. He saw young Mr. Agar, who said le wanted to talk to him before he gave up the books. He ultimately refused to give them. He said nothing about his father. He said he wanted witness to meet him on Monday, but he would not do so. He vent to get information from Paris. The ledger and day book of his con tained entries of some standing. They relate to Mr. Agar's business. He coxld not tell what money he had received from Mr. Tuff. lie did not receive £lOO. The agreement with Mr. Agar was to pay his hotel aid travelling exposes, and keep his wife and family while he was away. The agreement was read, and was to the effect that 5 per cent. should be given to Mr. Tuff on giving information, which should enable Mr. Agar to obtain any monies which might belong to the loans on the Confederate States. _ _ Mr. Agar, jun., said that he was with his father at 4, Railway-place. He saw his father last night at eight o'clock. The books were in the safe in the office now. They were willing to deliver up the letters with the wearing apparel. He did not know where the key of the safe was. lie laid the key down on Mr. Gould's desk. The books were re tained, because it was agreed that they should h ave any information they wanted from them. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for Mr. Tupp, then applied for summary process to obtain the books. Mr. Clarke, on behalf of the defendant, objected on the ground that he had not yet heard of the summons, and was not able to give them up. Another ground was that the books might be worth thousands of pounds, aid it did not come within the statute as property. The books were ordered to be given up, and summary process issued. my money as my agent. I never had a penny from him in my life. I once took out a summons against the defendant, but he begged mo not to proceed against him. The defendant took away a piano and some carpets. A gentleman the previous night saw me home. The defendant said that as I had brought a gentleman home he would not keep me to live apart from my husband. The defendant was all over the house from one o'clock tid Ile packed up his portmanteau, and threw it down stairs. lie said Le would call a policeman, and I was only too glad, as there was an invalid in the house. I did not scratch the defendant's face, nor tear his shirt. The defendant threw up the window to call the police, but I did not pull him back nor assault him. The house was taken in my mother's name, but wi:h my money. The defendant told the policeman to take me in charge for assAttlt ing him, but the policeman refused to take we. I at first said that I did not wish to charge the de• fondant if he would go away quietly. The de. fendaut said he would go upstairs and get his things, and I wont up afterwards. Sarah Cole, servant to Mrs. Spiller, said—•-I was in bed this morning, and there was a great noise of persons running up and down stairs and moving things about. I did not interfere. By Mr. Lewis—l heard the defendant say he would go away, and he went up stairs and packed up his things. Mrs. Spiller went up after him, and I then heard things being thrown down stairs. There was a disturbance in the house the night before last through a gentleman coming home with Mrs. Spiller. Mrs. Spiller—Speak up, Sarah. Mr. Knox—Do not interfere, Mrs. Spiller. Mr. Lewis--Are the parties not on terms of in timacy ? Witness—They occupy tbe same bed-room, but I did not understand that Mrs. Spiller lived with the defendant as his mistress. Police-constable George Hamilton, 56 C—l heard a disturbance at the house in Duke-street, and the defendant came to the door and said, "I shall want you presently to take a female into custody, and I will give you £5 to do so." In five minutes the door was opened again, I believe by the defendant, who wished to give the complainant into custody, and she wished to give the defendant into custody, and as she had marks of violence on her I took him. The complainant said that she did not wish to give the defendant into custody, if he would go away, but as he would not I took him. By ➢lr. Lewis—There were no marks of violence about the defendant, only that he had his shirt torn. I did not see any scratches on his face. I think hii portmanteau was lying by the stairs. I heard no cry of " Police" from a window. I refused to take the complainant into custody on the defendant's charge. I told her that if she would give him in charge, I would take him. The defendant refused to go away, saying it was an unseasonable hour. He said if I would allow him to stay till an hotel was open he would go. The defendant refused to leave, and on the complainant giving him into cus tody, I took him to the station. Mr. Knox—Was the defendant sober? Constable—l should say not. Mr. Lewis—The facts of the case are these. On the previous nigh t the complainant came home with a gentleman, and the defendant, who had been sit ting up for her, felt annoyed, and refused to sleep with the complainant. That morn ing the defendant went home, and the com plainant immediately began quarrelling with him. The defendant said he would go away, and began packing up his things. The complainant told the defendant to go, but afterwards repented, rushed upstairs after the defendant, threw his things about., seized him, tore his shirt, and scratched his face. The defendant, knowing the complainant's violent temper, went to the window and called police, and all he did to the complainant was to hold her down in a chair till the police came. The defendant then gave the complainant into custody, but the con stab!e refused to take her, and took the defendant. I consider the case one of the most monstrous kind, and that instead of the defendant being at the bar the complainant ought to have been there. A gentleman said the defendant was perfectly sober. Mr. Knox—l quite agree with Mr. Lewis that it is a monstrous case. At first I thought it was a case of assault by a lodger on a landlady. The complainant when asked whether she was not defendant's mistress, she denied it, but if she was not his mistress what was she—it being proved by the servant that she occu pied the same room as the defendant. With regard to the assault I see no marks on the complainant, while I do on the defendant, and there must have been some violence used towards him, as his shirt is torn. Instead of defendant standing where he does he ought to have been in the witness box, and the complainant at the bar. The defendant is dis missed, and ought never to have been taken into custody.

The schooner loft Shields, with coals for Boston, and was only about four miles off Whitby when the May ran into her with terrific force, knocking clown both her masts, which fell upon the deck, crushing everything beneath them. Both the boats were broken to pieces, and the cooking-house and companion. Fortunately none of the falling timber struck any of the crow. The captain borrowed one of the boats belonging to the brig. The Laura Williamson was picked up by the steam tug Gleaner, which towed tho vessel into Hartle pool. On the passage to Hartlepool the captain hailed a steamer and told them to go to the assistance of the May. By the time the steamer reached the spot where the May was supposed to be, the crew of the May were picked up in their little boat, having had to abandon their vessel, which was sinking, and had since foundered. The crow were landed at West Hartlepool, and haye beau fvrwardvil to 51491d0, whim they hvl9l3g. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ASSAULT.—Mr. Ilenry Holmes, an estate agent, residing at No. 30, Duke-street, St. James's, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Mrs. Ann Spiller, lodging housekeeper, No. 30, Duke-street. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough -street, appeared for the defendant. Mrs. Spiller said—l am the wife of Mr. Spiller, and keep a lodging-house at No. 30, Duke-street. A little after one o'clock this morning the defendant, who is a lodger, came home and made a great noise, and threw several things down the staircase. He continued this for some time, and on my requesting him not to do so he threw me into a chair, bruising my arm and back, r.nd breaking the chair. She then called in a policeman, and the policeman, seeing my condition, took bun into custody. Mr. Knox—How long has the defendant lodged with you ? Mrs. Spiller—About twelve months. Mr. Knox—Have you had occasion to complain of him befor,3 ? Mrs. Spiller—l have. Mr. Lewis—Now, do you not live with the de fendant as his mistress. Mo. SpillQ4 7 -lio took tl4O huuAo for use with WESTMINSTER. PITIABLE CONDITION OF A PARENT.-Emma Payne, an intelligent-looking child, was brought to the court this morning by the police charged with being destitute. William Page, 101 T, said that at seven o'clock this morning, finding the child at Chelsea Villas, Brompton, crying, with a crowd of persons round her, he made some inquiries, when she said she had been turned out of doors, and had had no food since yesterday morning. Having ascertained where she lived, he took her to her father, who refused to re ceive her. Mr. Selfe—Does he say why ? Constable—Yes. Ile stated his reason was that she robbed him so he could not trust her in the house. He has accompanied me here to see you. The Father—This is the second child that has unhappily given me much pain and trouble. I brought a little boy here, for whose maintenance I am now paying at an industrial school. I thought when I got rid of him I should be able to manage the little girl, but she unfortunately followed bad examples, and became a shocking thief. It is hardly a month ago that she robbed me of £2 and went away. She has also robbed my lodgers, and I have no sooner reclothed her than she goes away and sells the things off her back. She has robbed me of from £l2 to £l5 duriug the last twelve months. Mr. Selfe—Did you turn her out this morning? The father—No, I have not seen her for the last three days. Mr. Selfe—You refused to receive her this morn ing ? The Father—Yes, I did. lam afraid to receive her in my house. It is full of lodgers, and when she can't rob me she robs them. They arc like me, they are working men, and cannot afford to lose anything. I also thought that this would be an opportunity of asking your lordship what I had better do. Mr. Selfe—What is her age ? The Father—Ten years. Mr. Selfe—llas she ever been to school ? Father—Yes; she can read and write, and every pains has been taken with her, but it is all to no effect. Mr. Self—Has she any mother ? Father—No; I am a widower ; but a very re spectable aged woman who keeps house for me has done all that a mother could. The girl, on being interrogated, said she had robbed her father. Mr. Selfc—This is just the me to send to a school of discipline. I will immediately write upon the subject, and you can inquire, Page, whether she can be taken in at once. THAMES. A ROGUE IN GRAlN.—Charles James Westwood, a cab proprietor and driver, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing oats and chaff the property of Charles Harrington. The prisoner rents a stable of the prosecutor in Crisp-street Bromley, and Mr. Harrington also is in possession of a stable there. Both open into the same cart shed. Mr. Harrington had for a long time passed missed oats and chaff, and at last be gan to suspect the prisoner. Ile consulted police sergeant Williams, 53 K, and, acting under his advice he deposited small fragments of wood among the ots and Oa iu twv iwcl a wispy Qt straw in the door of the chaff bin. This morning the prisoner came home with his horse and cab at half-past one o'clock, opened his stable door, and put his horse and cab away. The prisoner was in the stable 20 minutes and then left. Mr. Harrington and the police-sergeant then went to the corn and chaff bins. The straw had disappeared from the door of the chaff bin, and some chaff was missed oats were also missing from another bin. T 1 , e prosecutor and the sergeant then examined the manger in the prisoner's stable, and his two horses were feeding on Mr. Harrington's oats and chaff. • The prisoner, who had gone home, was sent for and given into custody. Samples of the prosecutor's oats and chaff found in the prisoner's manger were produced. There '• were fragments of wool among them. The prisoner, a stern looking man, on being called on for his defence began crying. He said he was very sorry for what he had done. The offence of this morning was his first one, and he woul 1 not I repeat it. Mr. 13enson—No, it is not your first offence. You arc adding falsehood to felony. You have been systematically robbing Mr. Ilarringtou of his corn and chaff, and feeding your own horses with the stolen provender. The prisoner—No, I hare not, sir. It's my first offence. I was hard up for oats and chaff for my horses this morning, and— Mr. Benson—And stole your landlord's corn. It is a very grave offence, and I have not the slightest doubt you have been plundering Mr. Harrington fora lengthened period. D.) you plead guilty or not guilty, or do you prefer the case going before a jury at the Sessions. The Prisoner—Settle it here,sir. I plead guilty. Don't send me to prison, sir. If you do, I shall be ruined. Let me go, and I will pay for the corn. Mr. Benson—l cannot allow anything of the kind. How much oats and chaff did you miss last night? Mr. Harrington—This morning, your worship, after the prisoner left the stables, I missed a bushel of oats and chaff which I value at 2s. I have missed a similar quantity day after day. Mr. Benson said the prisoner had taken advan tage of theconfidence reposed in him by his landlord to carry on an infamous system of plunder. He sentenced the prisoner to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. THE FENIAN ASSASSINATION IN BLOOMSBURY. CORONER'S INQUEST-THIS DAY. The adjourned inquest into the circumstances connected with the assassination of Edwin M‘Don nell, on the 29th of September, was resumed to day at the University Hospital. Notwithstanding the discharge of the accused man, Groves, by the magistrate at Bow-street police-court yesterday, the coroner proceeded with his inquest, but the interest in the matter seemed almost to have subsided. The cabman Frederick Helson, the man spoken to by Bowler as the person who was with him when Groves wished tofightwith him, was the first person examined. The witness, however, in his evidence, said the man who wished to fight with Bowler outside the Turk's Head was a person about 5f t. 10in in height with a dark moustache. The Coroner—Bowler said it was Groves that wanted to fight with him ; he is certainly not a tall, dark person. Mr. Poland—Yes, that is so, and Bowler you will find says that the man afterwards walked up Southampton-row on leaving the Turk's Head, whilst Nelson says he got into a cab and drove away. 'Witness—Yes he did, and the cabman who drove him away is here. James Bush, cab-driver 4,670, said he drove the gentleman, whose name was Howson, from the Turk's Head on the night in question. lie ur tainly was not a fair man, and he was quite certain that. he could not have been one of the persons who followed I\l'llonnell and his companions on the night of the murder. John IViggin said he was near Vernon-place on the night of the murder. lie saw a flash of fire and then heard a report of fire-arms. Immediately after that a tall man ran up the street, but he re traced his steps, and then he (witness) saw the wounded man. In a very few minutes a great many persons assembled near the spot. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) TILE PICKWICK.HISTRIONIC C1,1113.-01;1 Tuesday evening an amateur performance took place at the West bourne-hall, of the members of the above club, assisted by the invincible Mackney, who was for many years the lead ing attraction at the Cautorbury Music-hall. The p3r formances commenced with a comic drama in three acts, entitled " Time Tries All," which was very creditably performed ; after which Mackney gave a selection of his favourite negro songs, which elicited much applause. The laughable farce of " The Fast Coach" brought the enter tainment to a conclusion. THE COMMERCI XL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOLS.--YeS terday being the anniversary of the opening of the Com mercial Travellers' Schools at Pinner by the late Princo Consort, and since known as the " Orphans" Day, a simul taneous collection was made at the various commercial hotels throughout the United Kingdom on behalf of the funds of the institution, while in the evening the friends and supporters of the schools resident in Lon , lon and the neighbourhood met at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, for the purpose of receiving contributions and other wise advancing the interests of the institution. SIIOCKING SUICIDE OF A LUNATIC.—A shock ing event is reported from Barnstaple. Mr. Jasper Gordon, a gentleman of largo property, committed suicide on Friday afternoon under tho following circumstances : —The deceased was in his garden attended by his keeper, and for some time the former followed his usual habit of picking up leaves and sticks on the path. While the keeper was looking in another direction, the unfortunate gentleman picked up an old rusty table knife, and, holding it with both hands, succeeded in inflicting fearful wounds in his throat before ho was secured. He was conveyed into the house and strapped to his bed ; the wounds were then bandaged. The lunatic struggled fearfully to rid himself of his bonds, and at length the bandages gave way, and there was an instantaneous flow of blood. In a few minutes death occurred. The medical gentleman said that under the most favourable circumstances life could not have been prolonged beyond a couple of days, as the windpipe and main artery wore cut. ASTLEY'S.—" Mazeppa and the Wild Horse" the old play which in years gone by was associated with the name of Astley's, and which at intervals has boon re produced with no small amount of success —is once more upon the boardii. Of course, the chief attraction is Miss Menken's impersonation of Mazepp, which still retains its hold.upon the public, as was testified by the enthusiastic reception she met with on her reappearance on Saturday vening. The piece is too well known to require a word of description; suffice it to say, that it is produced in its entirety, and placed upon the stage in a manner which fully sustains the reputation of the house. Of course, "Mazeppa" w o u ld b e nothing vrithout the " stud of real horses," and on this occasion that feature is particularly prominent—the "fiery untamed stood" performing his part to perfection. TREATMENT OF FENIAN CONVICTS. —Tile follow ing is an extract of a letter addressed by Hugh Francis Brophy to his mother previous to hiS departure on board the convict ship Hougeumont for Western Australia : " The political prisoners aro altogether in one department —I think between GO and 70 altogether—and so line and so good a lot of inea I never mot before. So far our treatment since we came on board is very good. The rations aro ex cAlent : we aro allowed a glass of wine a day, and are to go on deck any time we like. In fact, lam told by men who know the difference that we are as well treated as emigrants are on board a well -managed emigrant ship." BRUTAL MURDER IN LIVERPOOL. —The l.iverpool borough coroner held an inquest yesterday upon the body of an old man named Thomas Ellison, a tailor. From the evidence it appears that on the previous night his son, John Ellison, also a tailor, and a sailor named Murphy, together with other persons, were at the house of a neighbour, some of them being the worse for drink. A quarrel took place, and the deceased proceeded to his own house, at the door of which ho was heard to make use of threatening language towards his son. About two o'clock next morning (yesterday) the old man was found dead in the street, and it was discovered that he had been injured about the head. His son was seen ill treating him some time previously, and Murphy was standing by. On the discovery being made the police were communi cated with, and Ellison and Murphy were apprehended. In the room where they were found there was a large hammer, to the heavy end of which some grey hairs ad hered, and it was also covered with blood. A post modern examination proved that the cause of death was extravasa tion of blood at the base of the brain, the result of blows uP4N4 Ulu top of th 9 skull, SPORTING INTE LLIGENCE. ---This Day.
