maigT -1 NE Y' MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The inquiries for money today have been rather less active at previous quotations. A further sum of £15,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. There was co a lt era ti on o f i mportance i n the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £368,600 and the exports to £748,500. Two o'CLocK. In French 3 per Cent. Rentes, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, business was transacted in the Boulevard last night at 68f. 70c., in consequence of divers rumours. To-day at 11.30 they were quoted ,t 69 f., none of the rumours current having as yet been confirmed. The last quotation received is 68f. 92c., uneasy. There has been a general curtailment of specula tive business at the Stock Exchange, which may be partly accounted for by the intervention of the Jewish holidays. The quotations, however, have Continued to manifest considerable firmness, much 'anon being given to prices by the upward ten dency of the French Rentes. Consols are 923 t for money, and 93: for the account. The New Threes are 92 1 ; the Reduced 921 1 ; Exchequer Bills, par to 3s. prem. ; and India 5 per Cents., 1081 a.

The CUCKOO, OR THE CUCCULUS CANORUS, is a 'cry quaker-like dressed individual, slate-grey, white and black, being the prominent colours of its f eathers. The hen cuckoo generally lays her eggs, which Itre not larger than a skylark's, in the nest of some other steelier bird, but only one in each nest, leaving the young Lira g to be brought up by their foster-parents. Some Writer relates a Swedish anecdote in connection with the acuekoo, accounting, in the following ingenious manner, for f' . ha ving no time to build her nest. He says that irume ,atelY on the arrival of this bird, all the young maidens, tale first time of hearing her note in each year, are in the habit of asking the question, " How many years before I !marry a" The number of times the bird cries " cuckoo" ?ta reply is received as the answer, and the poor cuckoo is kept Bo fully empl oyed by the Swedish spinsters in deter 4irte.ning the d urat i on of their single blessedness that she has o time to attend to her own domestic affairs, and conse- Yello w quently drops h er eggs into the neat of the hedge-sparrow, hammer, pied wagtail, and the meadow pipit.

BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. LIVERPOOL, Sept. 12. The interest and excitement as to the ultimate fate of the four condemned murderers lying at Kirkdale have been in tense during the last week. Yesterday afternoon, large crowds of people, many of whom appeared to have made a pilgrimage from the manufacturing towns, were upon the ground in front of the scaffold, the preparations of the workmen, and the ghastly ceremonial for which they were preparing, appearing to afford abundant material for specu lation and gossip. In fact, so large was the crowd, that a visitor inquired if there was about to be a " rehearsal" of the 'spectacle of to-day. The weather being favourable great numbers, desiring to have " front plAsaces," mencampedconcourse f or of the spectators p rs u we o r n the ground. ected ,bar. riers of great strength were erected, and an unusually large police force was stationed at the gaol, and in its vicinity. The spectators at the execution of Taylor, it is believed, numbered 80,000; and, though there was not that intense and peculiar interest which distinguished his can attaching to any of the four murderers executed to-day, yet, from the fact that a quadruple execution for separate crimes was un precedented in Liverpool, there was an equal, if not greater, number of people. The criminals, from inquiries made last evening, were as resigned as could be expected from men in their dreadful situation, and Alvarez and Thomas appeared to have changed their somewhat callous and indifferent bearing which they at one time manifested. Alvarez had been visited by the Spanish Consul and Vice Consul at Liverpool, who communicated to him the unsuccessful result of the efforts made to ob tain a reprieve in his case. Mr. Godwin, of St. Anthony's Catholic Church, had also spent a good deal of time with Alvarez. Thomas received the information that the efforts made in his favour had been fruitless with more composure than was anticipated. It may be remem bered that he had feigned madness during his trial, but his conduct during the past week confirmed the opinion of the surgeon of the gaol that his mind was never affected. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Saunders, two Welsh Dissenting mini sters, have been in frequent attendance upon him, and took the greatest interest in his case. He was seen two or three days ago by a former schoolfellow, who called again at the gaol yesterday afternoon, hut as Thomas ex pressed a disinclination to see him, Captain Gibbs, the Governor, did not allow an interview. O'Brien had no visits from friends or relatives, but had been most assi duously cared for by the Rev. Mr. Gibson, the Catholic chaplain of the gaol. Hughes had received visits from two of his brothers, and from a daughter by his first wife. Cal craft arrived yesterday afternoon. At no former execution at Kirkdale have more than two criminals been hung, and no foreigner has previously been executed there. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, the proces sion slowly wended its way towards the scaffold; and Cal craft having adjusted the rope on each of the culprits, they were in a few moments launched into eternity. The im mense crowd shortly afterwards dispersed. The bodies having hung the usual time they were taken down, and were be buried within the precincts of the gaol. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UNPROVOKED AssAuLT.--Henry Wallace, of 18, Qu een _ street, Grosvenor-square, a tin plate worker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following unprovoked assault on Mr. Thomas Taylor, of the Albion tavern, Duke-street, ' Grosvenor-square, and William Wyatt, porter, of James street, was charged with creating a disturbance. Mr. Taylor said the defendants came into his house yesterday evening and made use of very bad language. They then caused such a disturbance that he was obliged to put them out of his house, and as soon as he had done so, Wallace gave him a severe blow in the face, deluging him in blood. (Mr. Taylor exhibited his apron, and it was completely saturated with blood.) Phipps, 126 C, said he saw the two defendants in Duke street, Wyatt with his coat off, challenging every one to fight, and as Wyatt refused to go away he took him into custody, Woodger, 159 C, taking Wallace. Mr. Wm. Hughes, of 99, Carnaby-street, proved seeing Wallace both strike and kick Mr. Taylor, the only raason for doing so being that Mr. Taylor put him (Wallace) out of the house for using bad language. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the assault on Mr. Taylor who, of course, did not like to have a disturbance in his house, was a n3cst unprovoked one. He should fine Wallace 40s. or a month, and Wyatt, Sc. or 7 days. INQUEST THIS DAY. This morning Mr. Humphrey, the coroner for East Mid dlesex, held an inquiry at the Angel Inn, Whitechapel, in reference to the deaths of the bod ies found in the roof and belfry of Whitechapel Church. Mr. Mitchell, solicitor, appeared cn the part of the Rev. Mr. Cohen, the rector, and the churchwardens, and ex pressed their disgust at the facts which had transpired, and assured the coroner that every means should be taken to prosecute a thorough investigation. He added that still born children were never buried in the churchyard at. Whitechapel. _ _ Charles Wolfs, of 62, Iligh•street, Whitechapel, said he remembered a man named Smith. They called him " Bill Smith." He had seen him about the churchyard. It was about three years ago. One evening he saw Smith go into the church with a black bag. There appeared to be some thing in it. He had no reason to form an opinion that the bag contained a child's coffin. He had thought nothing more about the matter. Joseph Bradley, of 37, Great Hill-street, plumber, said he had been an undertaker, in fact he Ns as born an under taker. (Laughter.) His father and brothers had been under takers. The Coroner said he was lucky in getting such evidence, It was difficult to get evidence from present undertakers— they were obliged to go to the past. Witness said it was the custom ;of the undertakers to hand over stillborn children to the sextons to be buried where they could. Parents did not generally follow still burns to the grave. It was not usual to have certificates with stillborns. As far as ho was aware, it was not the duty of the undertakers to ascertain in any way whether a child brought to them was a stillborn. The undertakers relied upon the statements made by parents and nurses. There was a keen contest amongst undertakers for business, and no doubt that sometimes young children were buried at unremunerative prices. Of course if an undertaker could save the coffin and burial fees he would be the more in pocket. By Mr. Mitchell—He never heard of certificates being given for stillborn children. He had had no experience since the passing of the Burials Act, but he did not believe the practice had been in any way altered. Mr. Mitchell—lt is evidently a very loose practice. Mrs. Allen, who was called on a previous occasion, said she thought she could recognise the man who fetched away her child (one of those found), and four very doleful lcok ing men were introduced, but she failed to identify either of them. George Shakes, of Hayfield-lane, Mile-end Old Town, engine-keeper, said he was formerly employed by Mr. Can ham, an undertaker. He had taken a good many children from Mr. Canham's hop to Bow Cemetery. He never took any to Whitechapel. How they came to Canham's he did not know. Sometimes people used to bring stillborn children to Mr. Canham's house themselves. In all cases they were given up to the gravedigger. Half-a-crown was the general fee at the Cemetery for a stillborn, so that a parent would save 7s. 6d. on burying a child as a stillborn. Sometimes he had a certificate, but he never thought it worth while to look at them. He could read a little, but he had no idea by whom the certificates were signed. John Davis Filly, an undertaker, of Wellington -place, Stepney, said he bad occasionally gone, on funerals, for Mr. Canham. One he fetched from Calvert's Brewery, in Thames street, but he did not know what became of it. Another he bad he took to Bow Cemetery. With the last he had a certificate, which he gave up at the office when he paid the fees. He could not say whether it was signed by a midwife. He sometimes received stillborns on his own account. He fetched them from the people's houses. If a stillborn were brought by a midwife he did not know that he should refuse it—in fact, he would take it. If he gave credit for a stillborn it would be 7s. 6d. ; if the people paid prompt, it would be 6s. He paid 3e. 6d. for fees, and the coffin cost about Is. 9d. By Mr. Mitchell—He never buried children in a church. yard closed by order in council, nor any other churchyard. Robert Dormer, of Bancroft-terrace, Mile-end -road, un dertaker, said be used to assist Mr. Lanham. He fancied he fetched two bodies from Mrs. Allen's house in Bedford street. The last one he fetched away about ten o'clock on a Saturday night. He left it at Mr. Canham's, and did not know what became of it. It was not an usual thing to fetch still-borne from the parents' houses. Sometimes an undertaker would take a shell and bring the body away and keep it in his house until he had a funeral. He could not say whether the children brought away were still-born. A Juror—Children might be murdered and taken away in this way. Witness—Fie did not know any case in which a child was taken away without a shell. In such cases children were put in a bag or wrapped up in anything that was handy. The usual charge for burying a stillborn v. as 6s 6d, includ ing 3s 6d for the ground. The Coroner—Does it not sometimes happen that when an adult is to be buried a child is put in the same coffin ? Witness —I never did it, but I have heard of its being done in the trade. The Coroner—ln that case the 3s 6d for the ground would be saved? Witness—Yes, it would. W illi am Barker, an undertaker, who said he was an undertaker and patronised-" Victoria," had worked for Mr. Canham. He knew that stillborns and adults were brought to the establishment. He had known nurses come for s h e lls and bring stillborns back. M ostly a paper was two or three stillb orns there at a time. For Mr. Canham b roug ht with them, but he did n o t k now whether it was a certificate,anhata h n e orby whom it wa s s i gned. He had never seen more had buried about three dozen stillborns a year, but Mr. Canham was not his largest employer. He made about 150 coffins for stillborns a year for Mr. Canham and others. When he was at Mr. Canham's he saw many still horns come in, but he never knew how they went out. Oi 500 coffins he made in the year 150 were for stillborns. The very lowest he could charge for a stillborn was 4s. 6d. u p to a pound, if he could get it. He paid 2s. 6d. at the Vic teteey fastened up, and the Vic toria for the ground. He fetched the b o di es from the house d took them to a the shell cem they were When nu rses or o th e rs brought bodies in un d er takers did not consider it to b e their business to in quire whether they were stillborn or not. Certificates were brought, but if a certificate was signed " Anne Thompson, midwife," the undertakers would accept it without inquiry. It would not pay them to go to inquire whether there was an y " Anne Thompson," or if there were, if ehe was a mid wife. The Coroner condemned the lax way in which the busi ness was conducted by undertakers, and remarked sternly upon the way in which bodies of children were disposed of without any examination whether they were born or not. He thought the jury might come to the conclusion that the bodies had been in the church . two years and upwarda, but that there was no direct testimony as to how they were placed there. He did not think that violence of any kind had been offered to the bodies, but that they had been placed where they were found to save the burial fees and with the connivance of some one connected with White chapel church. With regard to the low cutting under takers who buried far 48. 6d. or 55., he believed he might, without disrespect to that business, express his opinion that they frequently dropped bodies about the streets to avoid the expenses of coffins and burial grounds, leaving those who were fortunate enough to find the bodies the responsi bility of burying them. He could not in any other way account for the large number of childrens' bodies constantly found about the streets. It was impossible that any u n d er. taker could possibly undertake to bury a child for 4s. 6d., when he had to pay 2s. 6d. or 38. for the ground and some thin g for the coffin. The jury then deliberated on their ver dict with closed doors for about half an hour. On the admission of strangers to the room the jury found, the verdict being only on one child, that the said female child, being of a tender age, to wit, of the age of about three months, was founi dead on the roof of White chapel Church. And the said jurors do further say, from the decomposed state of the body, the evidence also evidence fails to prove the cause of death. T added th ese words, that the jury finding from the evidence that it was the practice of undertake rs to receive certificates of still-born children from midwives, ci• any other women, th e y f ee l th a t th e p er petration of abortion and infanticid e may b e . f ac ili tate d b y suc h a practice, and suggest that any person burying, or assisting to bury,. o p f in g i 7 eat th ir a r t eg t u h l e ar s i e ty xto in n .without a certificate from a legalivid or qualified resident g th n e .il ir ty o parishioner, or registered midwife, shall incur thereby a Pe nal t . y of the law as in cases of misdemeanour.

A WORD TO RAILWAY DIRECTORS.—AII in• conveniences would be remedied if our companies would consent to the simple expedient of establishing some means of communication between the passengers and the guards. Meohaniaally, there is absolutely no difficulty about Mich an arrangement. In the United States the contrivance employed is of the simplest. A cord rune from car to car, fastened by loops to the roofs. The guard at the end of the train ean stop the engine at once by jerking the cord a curtain number of times, and the patmengers can summon the guard at any moment by pulling it. More over,' as each car contains from twenty to sixty people, according to the fulness of the train s no mischievous or nervous passenger can stop the train without sufficient cause. If he did so, his fellow-travellers would be there to report him. There is really no reason, however, why, with certain modifications, a similar plan should not be intro duced here. If the footboard alongside our carriages were made a little broader, and projected a foot or so beyond the carriage, and if a stout rail was fixed to the side of each compartment, a guard might walk with perfect safety from carriage to carriage, no matter - what the speed of the train might be.

WHAT Is CODLING TO ALL THE LITTLE CHILDREN ? —Oa Thursday Dr. Lankester held three inquests at the Lord Wellington Tavern, University-street, Totten ham-court-road, relative to the deaths of children. The first case taken was that of Kate Eliza King, aged six months, whose body was completely akeletoniscd. She was the da ug ht e r of a commercial traveller, who had deserted his wife and family. The mother, in order to support her children, had taken a situation as saleswoman in a milliner's shop, and was ceusequently compelled to put the deceased out to nurse, for which ehe regularly paid 6s, a week. A month since she removed the child, then in most miserable condition, from the first nurse, to the care of a second, under whom it slightly improved. It had had no medical attendance, and died, as was stated, While being conveyed to the hospital. Mr. ginger said the child looked as though it had been starved, and it did not weigh 6lb. He was of opinion that it had been dead longer than was stated. The cause of death was exhaustion from want of nourishment. Verdict—Death, from exhaustion through want of proper nourishment, from Natural Causes. The second inquest was on the body of "Fitzroy," a foundling of three months' old, which was found on the night of last Friday fortnight on a doorstep in Fitzroy place, Fitzroy -square, and thereupon was named as above by the St. Pancras board. The child Was suckled by one of the inmates of the workhouse, and did very well up to Friday night last, when it was suddenly taken ill, and died before medical assistance could be advantageously obtained. Mr. Bury, the surgeon, said death resulted from infhm mation of the left lung and congestion of the brain. Ver dict—Death by natural causes. The third case was ono of very melancholy character, the child, William Gerrish Farrent, under three years of age, Leing literally roasted alive. lie was the son of a cabinet maker, and the mother went out to Work. OnWednesday evening last the father returned from his work, and remained with the deceased an d t w o other children, aged five and seven, until twenty minutes befote nine, and he went out with a friend who had called upon him. Previously, however, the friend wanted a light for his pipe, and a lighted candle was placed on tin table for his accommodation. There wa Y s also a left telesc e opic th th de lamp suspended from the ceiling. The ceased sitting on a bird organ on a large 100 table, which was pushed close to the wall, the father forgetting to put out the candle. At nine o'clock, the mother arrived, and found h e r child in the condition described. He was seated on the table, which was burnt under him like a basin. His clothes were all burnt off him, with the exception of a por tion of his shirt (prod aced),which adhered t o hi s l o i ns . The poor child could just articulate " Oh, mother," when she ran away with him to the hospital, After his frightfully burned body had been dressed he survived two hours. The Jury considered the leaving the candle was a thoughtless act of which any one might be guilty, snd returned a ver dict of accidental death, WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL OFFENCES WITH CHILDREN. - John Lacey, a plasterer's labourer, was brought up on a warrant, charged with tampering with a poor little child, from which the most lamentable circumstances had resulted. Elizabeth May, the daughter of respectable parents, liv ing at 39, Godfrey-street, Chelsea, an intelligent child, seven years of age, said that she was at 10, Jubilee-place, Chelsea, where the prisoner lodges, when he came into a room where she was sitting, and was guilty of most abominable con duct to her. The child went through an account of the transaction with great succinctness. The mother of the ohild, who was in tears, and deeply affected throughout the examination, said Mrs. Thompson, a friend of hers, to whom the house 10, Jubilee-place, be longs, having been taken ill, requested witness, as a favour, to allow her daughter to come to the house for a few days, to which she assented, little thinking that this calamity would befal her. Witness went to fetch her child home last Tuesday, when she complained of pain and uneasiness when she sat down, and on her being taken to Mr. Martin dale Ward, surgeon, King's-road, the extent of the dis graceful injary she had received was fully ascertained. Mr. Selfe—Did you see the prisoner about it ? Witness—l did. I was so overcome by my feelings at the shocking condition of my child that I told him I thought I should murder him. He then admitted what he had done to my child during the time she was at the house in Jubilee-place. He described the circumstances in the same way my child had. Prisoner, who is 25 years of age, admitted his guilt, but said he had been drinking, and was very sorry for what he had done to the child. Mr. Selfe adjourned the further inquiry into the matter for the production of the medical testimony. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.—A SOVEREIGN FOR I HALFPENNY.--Patrick Tighe, a sturdy old Irish mendi cant, and a cripple, who has been preying on the public nearly half a century, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a sovereign. Mrs. Ann Lowrie, the wife of an engraver, of Millwall, Poplar, stated that she received her husband's wages yes terday (Friday) evening, and was hastening towards her home for the purpose of attending to her baby, when the prisoner solicited alms of her, and would not be refused. He pressed her so much, and told such a pitiable tale, that a man gave him a halfpenny. She put her hand in her pocket, and took from it what she thought to be a halfpenny, and said, "Here, old man, here is another halfpenny for you." As she put the coin into his hand, she observed it to shine brightly, and at once suspected she had given him a sovereign. She uttered an exclamation, ran to the next gas lamp and looked at her money. She missed a new sovereign directly, and begged of the prisoner to return it, telling him she was a poor woman, and that her husband worked hard for his money. He said he knew nothing of it, and stoutly denied he had received a sovereign. She repeatedly implored of him to return the money, but he would not. She then gave him into custody. He spoke to a woman who was following him before the policeman ar rived. Prisoner said he never begged for more than a sixpence in his life. He was as innocent of receiving the sovereign as his " hanner's wortchip." Mr. Woolrych had no doubt the prisoner received the poor woman's sovereign, and he was a very great scoun drel. He could not punish the prisoner for stealing the sovereign, but he sentenced him as a rogue and vagabond to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour. SHIPPING—This Day.

A FRENCH FAIR.—" Messieurs et Mesdames, I present to you at this fair, as a mark of my confi dence in the people of this so-renowned town, and as an act of homage to their good sense and Ilne taste, the Ven triloquist, the 'Ventriloquist! Further, Messieurs of Mesdames, I present to you the Face-Maker, the Physiognomist, the great Changer of countenances, who transforms the features that Heaven has be stowed upon him into an endless succession of surpris ing and extraordinary visages, comprehending, Messieurs et Mesdames, all the contortions, energetic and expressive, of which the human face is capable, and all the passions of the human heart, as Love, Jealousy, Revenge, Hatred, Averice, Despair I Hi, hi, Ho, ho, Lu, lu, Come in !' To this effect, with an:occasional smite upon a sonorous kind of tamborine —bestowed with a will, as if it represented the people who won't come in—holds forth a man of lofty and severe demeanour; a man in stately uniform, gloomy with the knowledge he possesses of the inner secrets of the booth. " Come in, come in : Your opportunity presents itself to-night; to-morrow it will be gone for ever. To morrow morning by the Express Train the railroad will reclaim the Ventriloquist and the Face-Maker Algeria will reclaim the Ventriloquist and the Face- Maker I Yes!

" Come in, come in ! Is there any more money, Madame, on the point of ascending ? If so, we wait for it. If not, wo commence I " The orator looks back over his shoulder to say it, lashing the spectators with the convic tion that he beholde through the folds of the drapery into which he is about to plunge, the Ventriloquist and the Face-Maker. Several sous burst out of pockets, and ascend. " Come up, then, Messieurs!" exclaims Madame iu a shrill voice, and beckoning with a bejewelled finger.

I would say to the Secretary of the Admiralty „ Fax est doceri ab hoste."

THE RECUSANT SUNDAY HAYMAKERS AT LEIGH. Much excitement prevails in Leigh on this subject, and two meetings have b een held for organising measures to test the validity of the convictions. Subscriptions are flowing in from all parts of the . kingdom to aid the de fendants.' .. , ho are small farmers, in testing the validity o f On Thursday morning the cow a n d the legal proceedings. furniture seized were sold by public auction, at the George and Dragon Inn. About 1,000 persons were present, and the utmost order was maintained. The cow only realised £4, and the sofa and drawers 355. each, the whole being purchased by Mr. J. B. Bevington, corn merchant, trea surer of the defence fund, who handed the cow , and furni ture to the defendants free of charge. Three h ear ty cheers for the defendants termina ted the proceedings, Mr. Grant Duff, M.P., on Public Affairs. Mr. Grant Duff, MX., addressed a meeting of his constituents, at Elgin, on Thursday. After some introductory remarks, the hon. gentleman said : "I can still congratulate you, as I did two years ago, upon the fact that the reins of power are in the hands of a Liberal Government, but I do so with less satisfaction than I felt then, because the advan tages which we have derived from those who at present rule us have for some time past been rather of a negative than of a positive kind. (Hear.) "Yet allowances must be made for the feverish state in which we have been kept by our relations with America, for the chick which Liberal aspirations have received in some quarters from what has occurred there, and for the peculiar character of Lord Palmerston, to whom the nation seems to have made up its mind that its destinies shall be confided until the curtain falls upon his eventful history. (Hear.) I wish 1 could agree with those who think that the threats from the other side of the Atlantic which reach us by every mail are mere bluster ; but it really seems as if the spirit of the old Mexican religion had taken possession of the North, and that only in human sacrifice could it see any virtue. (Hear.) 1 trust we shall do everything that can be done with out dishonour to prevent a rupture. In the long and difficult negotiations which have been carried on about Poland, I see as yet nothing to find fault with. Ministers would assuredly not have been supported by the country in a more decidedly warlike policy. I admit that if all that the Powers have asked from Russia were granted by her, the Polish question would be far from being settled; bat I have yet to learn that that question is susceptible of any really satisfactory solution. I know not what the Emperor Alexander can do in this Polish imbroglio, except to allow himself to be borne along by the stream of events, and to re-echo the words of Lord Palmerston —the most remarkable words, by the way, which I ever heard him utter.—" There is no such calamity as to be born to a heritage of triumphant wrong." (Applause.) As regards Italy, I think it is hardly doubtful that her affairs will once again, and that ere very long, become of European interest. lam not alluding to the Roman question. lam allud ing to the question of Venetia or, more properly speaking, the question of the Quadrilateral. The Quadrilateral is, as has been well re marked, the secret of Italy: As long as Austria retains that strategic position, equally powerful for attack and defence, so long will Italy be obliged to keep up an enormous army, and to incur expenses which must continually increase the disorder of the finances. Ere long Victor Emmanuel will be forced to go to war whether he likes it or not." (Hear.) Referring to the resignation of Sir James Hudson, he discredited the report that the substitution of Mr. Elliot for Cavour's friend was a job. "I fancy," he said, " that the truth is something like this. Sir James Hudson is, if I am not grossly misinformed, a far more real out-and-out Liberal, a man much more imbued with what one might loosely call the modern spirit,' than most of the people with whom, and under whom, he has been serving. As long as Cavour lived, he felt that there was at least one man in Europe with whom ho could act, and with whom he agreed in his ultimate objects. But since the death of Cavour he has felt ill at ease, and I guess—for, remember, I ans only guessing—that if the vaults of Santon's had not closed over the great Italian, we should not now be lamenting the loss of Sir James Hudson ; but he, being a man very fond of having his time to himself, and not oaring much for the routine duties of diplomacy' when he saw that for the present he could do .no thing for Italy, but must vegetate in dull Turin, and meditate the old Greek saying, ' There is no woe as to see clearly how all ought to be done, and to be able to do nothing, thought that his villa on the Lago Maggiore was a great deal pleasanter, and was impatient to be away. (Hear.) If Sir James Hudson was to go, Mr. Elliot had undoubtedly the best claim, and will probably do exceedingly well, as indeed he did when he was at Naples." Speaking of the position and futurelof the Liberal party, he said;—" Whatever import ance belongs to the past session was given to it not by the action of the Government, but by that of pri vate members. A feeling has been for some time growing and extending itself in the ranks of the Liberal party that, although it may be well that things should be as they are during the lifetime of Lord Palmerston, a crisis must arrive soon after his death against which it is right to be prepared. It will not be the declining strength of Earl Russell, it will not be the still undecided politics of Mr. Gladstone, it will not be the worn-out reputation of two or three old politi cal hacks, which will form the bond of union for the Liberal party. We must take up the questions which are really stirring to its depths the intellect of the country, if we are to be anything else than a worse kind of Tories, led by men of somew at less honesty and somewhat more ex perience. Now, what are the questions which are to the best spirits in the nation all and more than that all that the great polito-economical questions which succeeded the passing of the Reform Bill were to the generation which was then beginning to influence public affairs ? They are questions which all run up to one source, and that is the fundamental prineiples of religious liberty. The feeling that, if we are to have a political future at all, it must be in connection with these questions, seems to have influenced many minds during the last year's recess, for the session saw men who had no connection with each other, and belonged to different sections of the party, step forward with proposals all tending in the same direction." The hon. gentleman then referred to some of these pro posals—the Act of Uniformity, the Irish Church, and the university tests—and called attention to the remarkable speech delivered at the Catholic Con gress recently held at Malines by M. de Montalem bert. He concluded as follows The commercial men of this country have come at length to know that commerce has nothing to ask from Government, ex cept to be let alone. When will religiou s men throughout the world learn that religion flourishes best where it is least trammelled by the dangerous protection of statesmen. (Cheers.) \Vho is to be the Adam Smith of the Piety of Nations? Who are to he the Brizhts and Cobdens of unfettered Thought ? (Applause.) We ate passing, as I have said,t o a period in which questions of religious liberty will have unusual prominence ; but as the Liberal party triumphs on each successive question, one more subject will be removed from the sphere of politics, one more step will be made towards the realisation of that state of things which would long ago have come about it men would only hav e obeyed th e sublime precept, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars, and unto God the things that are God's.'—Cheers." At the close, Mr. Allan, corn merchant, move d a vote of thanks.—Mr - Taylor, who expressed satis faction with thelprevious career of the hon. member, moved an amendment condemning his votes during the last session in favour of the Prison Ministers Bill and of the opening of the Edinburgh Botanic Garden,. —On a division, th e Ch a i rman d ec l are d the votes to be about equal. WHO ARE THE FRIENDS OF THE BLACK MAN ? A correspondent, signing himself "Traveller," in a letter to us, writes :—" President Davis, in calling out 500,000 negroLs to defend their masters and their families, offering them their freedom and 50 acres of land, shows that he does not look on them as President Lincoln and the Abolitionists do—but as if each was 'a man and a brother.' In the North the negro is an outcast and a Pariah—Presi dent Lincoln advising them to be off;' meaning that they should no longer annoy the Yankees, while the Southern., on the contrary, treat them as coloured gentlemen.' What, then, will the mock emancipation societies de? Will they still support the North and oppose the South—fighting, like Poland, for its liberty—or will they, like men, when they see their error, frankly avow it, and change their conduct? This is what honest men would do—what the Buxtons, Wilberforces, and Shaftesburys have done by eschewing these mock meetings, but what the pinch-beck Emancipa tionists are not likely to do." M. Delane, the husband of the only daughter of Beaumarchais, the brilliant author of "The Barber of Seville" and "The Marriage of Figaro," died recently at the age of 95 years. The whole family of Beaumarchis arc buried at Pere la Chaise, near the nameless grave of Marsha Noy, =COR , Imo.. LONDON GAZETTE—Yesterday. WAR-OFFICE, PALL-111ALL, SEPT. 11.

Miss Quick and Miss Cock, two young ladies, were bathing opposite the Western. Esplanade about half-past 10 o'clock, when persons walking near were alarmed by screams for help proceeding from the hapless b a th ers, w h o, i t was se en were being ra pidly car ried out to sea by the tidal current. Moments were pre cious, but no one seemed ready to give the needed assist ance. Mr. Drew, a tradesman living near, seeing people running towards the beach, left his shop, and on arrival at the water's edge saw that the young ladies were in the utmost danger, being already 40 feet away from the shore. Instantly, without removing any part of his dress, he plunged into the water, and struck out for the now sinking bathers. Robert Stevens, a keeper of the bathing machines for the bath proprietor, Mr. Norton, followed Mr. Drew's example, he also having his clothes on, and an exciting scene occurred. Stevens reached one of the young ladies, and stretched out his hand to grasp her, but missing his aim, became frightened, and returned on shore. Drew meanwhile had reached the youngest lady furthest out, Miss Cock, and was bringing her in, when he saw that Stevens had gone ashore, and that Miss Quick had sunk several times, and would almost immediately be drowned. Leaving his first charge for a time, Drew reached Miss Quick, and swam whore with her, when elm was received by those on the beach, and carried off to the baths. Without an in instant's delay, Drew, exhausted as he was with previous exertion, pushed out again and caught Miss Cock,whe with a death grip clasped him round the neck, and they both dis appeared. A shudder ran through the spectators, who whis pered one to the other, " Poor things, they are both gone." Soon, however, they rose again, and with a final effort Drew towed his charge to the beach. The young ladies, the first rescued of whom was quite insensible,were at once carefully tended, and a warm bath, brandy, and tea being adminis tered, they reviv ed, and they are now nearly recovered. The gallant fellow who had thus saved two lives refused the warm bath that wa s proffered to him ; but one of his hands was quite dead for two hours afterwards, and he did not wholly get over the effects of his exertions that day. Connected with this exciting incident was anotf,i in which, unhappily, death was occasioned. Maria IS 11- Ha l es, a healthy, middle-aged woman, who kept bouse for her brother-in.law, Mr. Houlson, of the Bath . Inn . , was pass ing while the young ladies were being carned, insen sible, into Mr. Norton's, and was immediately seized with illness, and died within an hour, although attended by Mr. Quick, surgeon, before death. It is supposed . that the fright produced a fit of apoplexy—Western OiOrtitng New ~~ ....... '''....
