The National has the following on the candidate ship of the Prince de Joinville :—" It was stated yesterday at the Bourse that the Journal des Debats was to publish this morning a manifesto of M. de Joinville. This document was said to have been written under the dictation of M. de Joinville, in presence of five or six friends of the Orleans family, who went to London to demonstrate the necessity of taking a very decided attitude in presence of the haughty pretensions avowed by the partisans of another competitor. We can affirm that a person, well known on the Bourse, read passages from a document which he affirmed that he had copied from the original, remitted to the Journal des Dibats. It was added that the Orleanists would at the same time announce the candidateship of M. de Joinville to the place of representative vacant in the department of the Seine. Enthusiasts went further, and asserted that the success of the candidateship being certain, the new representative would be elected to the presidency of the Assembly. These, however, are but the usual ornamental commentaries. The candidateship of a member of the family of Orleans can only excite on the Bourse movements of joy and hopes of success ; but what has appeared serious to us amidst the commentaries of the violent men of the Parquet and the Coulisse, is the announcement of a manifesto. We nevertheless make all reserve on this piece of news from a suspected source, and mention without guaranteeing it." THE NEAPOLITAN ATROCITIES. The Independance of Brussels publishes the follow ing note addressed by Lord Palmerston to Prince Castelcicala, the Neapolitan Minister in London : " I have had the honour to receive your letter of the 9th, accompanied by a pamphlet intituled The Neapolitan Government and Mr. Gladstone,' and copies of which you beg me to forward to the royal ambassadors at the different courts of Europe. I beg to reply that I cannot accede to your request, not wishing to assist in dissimulating a publication which, in my opinion, neither does honour to its author nor to the Government which it seeks to defend, nor to the political party of which he makes himself the cham pion. I feel myself compelled to declare that the letters of Mr. Gladstone to Lord Aberdeen present the sad picture of a system of illegality, injus tice, and cruelty, such as no one could believe could have been practised in our day in a European coun try. The information which I have obtained from different sources have led me to the conclusion that the English writer has in no way exaggerated the evils which he depicts. On the contrary, the author appears to have for object to call public attention to abuses which, if they were to continue, would neces sarily overthrow the foundation of the Neapolitan Government, and would open the road to those violent explosions which, sooner or later, burst forth when injustice is prolonged and aggravated. The Neapo litan Government besides deceives itself if it thinks that a tissue of unfounded assertions and hazarded contradictions, mingled with gross attacks on political parties, will render it any real service, and assist in attaining the object it pursues. In conclusion, I will remark that, in the publications of M'Farlance are contained direct and indirect avowals which, contrary to his intention, confirm rather than destroy this conviction. (Signed) " PALMERSTON." THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1851 SINGULAR CASE OF INFANTICIDE AT WAKEFIELD. At an early hour on Monday morning last, the in habitants of Wakefield were greatly excited by the report that a child had been found, with its throat cut from ear to ear, at the station of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company. The rumour unfor tunately proved too true ; and in the course of the day an inquest on the body was held at the Royal Osk Inn, before Mr. Thomas Lee, coroner, when the following particulars transpired : Shortly after five o'clock on Monday morn ing, one of the company's porters named 11. Jack son, went to the station as usual, for the purpose of seeing the Government train dispatched, which leaves Wakefield at half-past fire. There was another rail way servant also on the premises, a young man be longing to the telegraph-office, named Mahalana Park, who booked four persons to go by the train, namely, two males and two females. Imme diately on the departure of the train, the porter Jackson went into the passage where the book leg-office is situate, for the purpose of taking out a ladder, intending to extinguish the gas lights. Having discharged this duty, and been absent only about five minutes, on his return he found in the passage a common blue hat-box, corded in rather a clumsy manner, lying on the ground. On taking it into the telegraphic office, and thinking there was something strange in the weight and appearance of the box, the two servants decided upon opening it, when, to their horror and surprise, they found it con tained a male child, with its throat cut in a shocking manner, and quite dead. From the medical testi mony of Mr. Francis Horsfall, surgeon, it would ap pear that the child could only have been born a few hours before its life was destroyed. As to the parties implicated in the prepetration of this diabolical deed, a curious chain of circum stantial evidence has already been developed. It appears that, about ten minutes after the de parture of the train for Manchester, a man and a woman came to the booking-office window, and in quired if the train had gone to Thornhill. On learn ing that it had gone, and that there was no other train until half-past eleven o'clock, they departed, and within a few minutes afterwards the hat-box was disco vered, containing the murdered infant. A railway officer, while going up Kirkgate to the police-office, saw a female standing at the end of a yard, who, on catching sight of him, speedily decamped ; but she was subsequently taken into custody in company with a man who is supposed to have been with her at the railway station. The telegraphic clerk, Park, positively swears to the woman being the person who came to the window to make inquiries respecting the trains to Thornhill. The two prisoners are known to have been associated together for a long time, and were met in the streets at various points during Sun day night and Monday morning ; and, from the con fused and unsatisfactory account they give of their movements and business, strong suspicions are enter tained of their implication in this mysterious transac tion. The medical gentleman has examined the female prisoner, and gives it as his opinion that she is not herself the mother of the child. The jury re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." On Monday afternoon, the two prisoners, whose names are Ann Smith and James Doyle, were brought before the magistrates at the Court-house, and on the request of Mr. MtDonald, the chief constable, they were remanded for a week for further examine tiun.—Manchester Guardian. LIVERPOOL OCTOBER SESSIONS. At the sesions just commenced Mr. Henderson, the Recorder, made the following observation to the grand jury on party processions in that town on her Ma jesty's visit. After alluding to certain recent im provements in the criminal law, he said—There is a case (of which I have seen the depositions) arising out of the procession on the 14th of July last. I think every well•regulated minded man, when it is consi dered that life was lost on that occasion, must regret that any such processions should ever take place. For my part, I think it would be far better that no pro cessions of that description should take place for the future. I understand the object is to commemorate a great victory, which I may say completed a revolu tion in this country, which has been attended with the most happy consequences to the rights and liber ties of all. But one cannot but remember that it is the commemoration of a victory which many persons regard as a triumph over their countrymen and over their religion ; and, this being the case, any offensive display should be avoided. It should be avoided because it is calculated to irritate, and to lead, as it has done in this case, to breaches of the peace. Therefore I should say that after the lapse of a century and a half, when all are enjoying the benefits of that revolution, it is not fitting that that particular battle and struggle should be brought forward in public, seeing that it may excite parties who feel as if they were insulted by such display. An Englishman may exult in the victory of Waterloo, but he would never think, where there was a large body of Frenchmen, of making a public dis play of that exultation. Not that his patriotic feeling would be less, but he would feel the propriety of for bearance in such a case. I therefore hope those par ties who direct this matter will see the propriety of abstaining in future from such displays. There are some processions which stand on a different footing. I confess I am glad to see the Welshman with his leek in his hat on St. David's day, or the Irishman with his shamrock on St. Patrick's day ; it is a feel ing of nationality, and may be desirable to stimulate exertion, e m justly y proud of be his f beautifuls some Irishman country, and a Wel s hma n of his mountains and the tradi tions of his country ; and, therefore, I say the assembling of themselves together on such those aa charged w r fir e t ()cessions sta n d s on a diff eren t f o oting ; but I doubt wh e th er process i ons w h ere I r i s h men are col lected,ht d as y. they It are in h teh e nit p sl tw is the m os t proper way of exhibiting their feelings on yrteosceranvu'aste in preservation such large numbers, much h e a p n ea x c iet . But this this being the case, it would be far better that some commerce of a large great t interrupti onwo n like this, from the having traffi other mode of ce l e b rat i ng these days should be selected. I should a l so mention another obvious mischief— traffic and large bodies of people collected in thestreets I should, therefore, hope that those who have more . influence ' than I have would discountenance processions of this kind ; because they really exc it e great anxiety, and iuvolve parlous evils oa almost every occasion , when they take place. Having adverted to these topics, I cannot but congratulate you on the occa sion in which this town lately poured forth its thousands, and tens of thousands, for a very dif ferent purpose. I cannot but think it is most for tunate and most creditable to the town to know that no fault—and, I believe, no serious accident—occurred on that occasion ; and although circumstances were in some degree adverse, and the weather unpropitious, yet it served to test the gracious feeling of her Ma j esty,'_who omitted nothing that was possible to gratify the loyalty of her subjects. But, on the other hand, it seemed that no adverse circumstances could damp the ardour of the people, or restrain their acclama tions on that occasion. It was something more than mere curiosity that assembled them; I consider it to have been a strong proof of their attachment to the monarchy so happily established in this country. We have seen in other countries kings dethroned, revolu tions agitated, and changes brought, about by tumult and bloodshed, but not so in this country. We have witnessed great changes, and gone through great political excitement, but happily without at all eff,cL ing the security and steadiness of our government; and one great reason is, the attachment which the people have to our established form of government, together with their confidence in the monarchy, and, above all, confidence in their Sovereign, who they well know will seek their welfare, and in every change take that course best calculated to secure their interest under any circumstances that may arise. (The Recorder concluded by dismissing the grand jury to their duties.) AN OLD, BUT SUCCESSFUL, HORSE TRICK. On Saturday morning last, at about eleven o'clock, a successful horse trick was played upon Captain Ro bert Massell, of Wells, whose vessel is now at this port discharging coals. It seems that the worthy son of Ocean was wandering over the quays at the time stated, when a respectably dressed person hauled along side, and after putting several ordinary questions, said, " I sent my servant into the town yesterday to buy a horse for me. He said he was to give 211. for it, but I think he is about doing me. I have to buy it for a gentleman. Holloa, here comes my master now," added be, as another well-dressed man came up, as if by mere accident. The trio after a time went to the Bull Inn, where the second man laid o: the table twenty-one sovereigns, and shoved them over to the first man, who said " that won't do, T must receive the money of a stranger." He hen asked the captain if he had 211.? when he said "No, but I can get it," on which the captain immediately went out and got 211. The three then retired to the Sea Horse Inn, where the captain was told if he would lend the first man 211. for a few mi nutes he should receive 221. for it. The captain then went out with the man who had not shown any money, in order that he might see the horse at the Coach and Horses. When opposite Alex ander's bank the captain said to the man, "I know nothing of horse-dealing—take the 211. and get the horse, and I'll go back to your friend and get the 221. for it." Oa his return to the inn the man who had displayed the 21 sovereigns had " hooked it," when the captain ran towards the Coach and Horses, but found that the fellow to whom he had entrusted his mo ney had also hoisted all sail and got away. The poor fel low felt that the wind had been taken out of his sheets completely, and mourn fully made his way to the station house, where the facts were revealed. A horse was found at the Coach and Horses Inn, which has been valued at about 41. Immediate exertions were made by Police-constab:e Robinson to detect the fellows ; but notwithstanding the utmost activity the pirates got away with their spoil. The affair has created the utmost merriment amongst the captains on the quay, who are thoroughly rejoiced that it was not a Suffolk man who vas thus taken in. The goer fellow played most anxiously into the rascal's hand, in order to save the sovereign. He exclaimed to the victimiser " Come, make haste, take the 214 ; there's another gentleman at the inn waiting to pay me 224, and I shall lose money and horse too if I don't make haste." An extraordinary desire to obtain the one sove reign blinded his weather eye as to the fate of the larger sum he had advanced. having seen the Sea Horse the confiding captain thought it unnecessary to see the land animal ; had he, however, but hinted the matter to the attentive host, Mr. Worby would quickly have saved him from these land sharks.— Ipswich Express. "SAil THE RUNNER'S" VISIT TO THE GREAT EXHIBITION. ['here are very few persons in Gloucestershire that know anything of Earl Fitzhardinge's fox-hunting establishment who do not know something of " Sam the Runner." In fact, so constant and unremitting has been his attendance in the hunting field for many years past, that (without being in the service of his Lordship) his presence on those occasions seems as indispensable and necessary almost as that of the hounds. Some time since Sam, like the rest of the world, was smitten with a desire to see the Great Exhibition, and for this pur pose he travelled to London. How he went I do not know, but most likely he walked there. Behold him, then, one fine afternoon in his scarlet hunting•coat, white hat, and leathern inexpressibles, knocking at the door of Lord FitzisardinKe's dwelling in Spring-gardens. " Was the Earl at home?" he asked of the servant who answered to his knock. "He was at home, but was engaged, and Sam had better call cgain." " No; he had just arrived in town, and wished particularly to see him, and would thank the servant to tell him that Sam'l Cornock, of Nibley, near Berkeley, was there." The servant hesitated a moment, and then did as he was desired. He returned almost immediately, and re quested Mr. Sam'l Cornock, of Nibley, near Berkeley. to walk in. In he went, and was ushered, hat in hand into the presence of his Lordship. " Well, Sam," ex claimed the Earl. " Well, my Lord," said Sam. " What brings you to town, Sam?" " Why you see, my Lord, I've come up to see the Expedition—but I thought I'd first call and tell your Lordship I was here." " Ah, I see, but where are you going to stay while you are here?" " I don't know, my Lord." " Then make this your quarters ; yon can have a bed ; and now go down and tell the servants to give you something to eat," said the Earl, at the same time tossing him a sovereign. Now, having " made good his footing," as he called it, Sam proceeded to wait upon some more of his aristo cratic friends ; the Dukes of Beaufort, Bedford, and Sutherland, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, &c., &c., &c. Sam found himself quite a lion, and fed and feasted ac cordingly; dining one day at one duke's, the next day at another's, taking tea at the house of a third; indeed, he says, his greatest difficulty was to arrange his nu merous invitations, that he might give them all a turn. He went to Apsley-house, where he saw the Duke of Wellington. "So you are Sammy, are you?" said the Duke. " Yes, your Grace," replied Sam, making his best bow. " The Duke of Beaufort told me about you; you run with the hounds, don't you?" "Yes, I do, your Grace." " Here's a sovereign for you, Sammy." Sam was so elated that he took his hat and gave his Grace three cheers in hunting fashion. Sam also saw the Queen; he was directed by Lord A; Fitzclarence to stand at some spot she was going to pass in her carriage —the carriage went slowly by, and her Majesty looked out and smiled at Sam, as he stood up between two life-guardsmen, with drawn swords. Sam took off his chapeau and cheered most lustily, till the Royal party was out of view. Sam said Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence afterwards told him that her Majesty wished to see him, that she might know if he was like a caricature that the Duke of Beaufort had given her. A day or two before Sam left the Duke of Beaufort said to him, " You must dine here to-day, Sam." I am much obliged to your Grace for the invitation," ho replied, " but I am sorry to say that I cannot accept of it, as I am engaged to dine at Apsley-house." Sam went back well lined in purse and person, and is now following the hounds as us u al.—Bristol Times. A PARTY OF HIGIIFLYERS Wild and daring as was the act, it is no less true that men's first attempts at a flight through the air were literally with wings. They conjectured that by elongating their arms with a broad mechanical covering, they could convert them into wings; and forgetting that birds possess air cells, which they can inflate, that their bones are full of air instead of mar row, and, also, that they possess enormous strength of sinews expressly for this purpose, these desperate half. theorists have launched themselves from towers and other high places, and floundered down to the demolition of their necks or limbs, according to the obvious laws and penalties of nature. We do not allude to the Icarus of old, or any fabulous or remote aspirants, but to modern times. Wonderful as it may seem, there are some instances in which they escaped with only a few broken bones. Mil ton tells a story of this kind in his "History of Britain," the flying man being a monk of Malmsbury, "in his youth." He lived to be impudent and jocose on the subject, and attributed his failure entirely to his having forgotten to wear a broad tail of feathers. In 1742 the Marquis de Bacqueville announced that he would fly with wings from the top of his own house, on the Quai des Theatins, to the gardens of the Tuileries. He actually accomplished half the distance, when, being exhausted with his efforts, the wings no longer beat the air, and he came down into the Seine, and would have escaped un hurt, but that he fell against one of the floating machines of the Parisian laundresses, and thereby fractured his leg. But the most successful of all these instances of the extraordinary, however misapplied, force of human energies and daring, was that of a certain citizen of Bologna, in the thirteenth cen tury, who actually managed with some kind of wing contrivance, to fly from the mountain of Bologna to the river Reno without injury. " Wonderful ! admirable !" cried all the the citizens of Bologna. " Stop a little," said the officers of the Holy Inquisi tion ; " this must be looked into." They sat in sacred conclave. If the man had been killed, said they, or even mutilated shockingly, our religious scruples would have been satisfied ; but, as he has escaped un hurt, it is clear that he must be in league with the devil. The poor " successful" man was therefore condemned to be burnt alive, and the sentence of the Holy Catholic Church was carried into Christian execlttion,—,Dickens's t‘ Household Words." POLICE INTELLIGEN CE. GUILDHALL. MI Alfred Boulanger, a cor❑ and flour merchant, of Amiens, at present residing at the 'Union Hotel, Salisbury-square, Fleet astreet, was placed at the bar before Sir Peter Laurie, charged with stealing 7,000 francs (2911. 13s. 4d.), from the person of Mons. P. Vered, of 28, Panton-street, Haymarket. A gentleman from Mr. Hobler's office attended for the prisoner ; but the prosecutor did not appear at all. Sir PETER LAURIE—What is the reason that the prosecutor does not come forward ? Daniel May (the detective officer)—The gentleman who gave the pri soner into custody is a foreigner, and cannot speak English. He, however, appeared to understand that his presenoe was required here, and promised to come. Sir PETER LAURIE—As he does not think proper to attend, I should like to know upon what grounds he gives this prisoner into custody upon so important a charge, without appearing to substantiate it, there fore, May, you had better state the circumstances. Daniel May—From the statement made to me by the prosecutor, on first engaging my services in this case, it seemed that prisoner and prosecutor were con versing together in the Corn Exchange, in Mark land, on Monday, the 20th of October last, when the former stole from the person of the latter a portfolio containing 7,000 francs. I have since heard that some business transactions took place in France be tween them, in which prosecutor accused prisoner of having acted fraudulently, and :upon meeting him accidently here gave him into custody. Prosecutor mentioned nothing to me about the charge until, as he said, he thought prisoner was about to escape. Sir PETER LAURIE—Where did you ,see him, and at what time ? Daniel May—l met him this morn ing at half past ten at the French Ambassador's office in Chancery-lane. Prisoner, in having these circumstances conveyed to him by means of an interpreter, said that the only commercial transactions that had taken place between them occurred a long time ago. The solicitor for the prisoner said that the prosecu tor, finding prisoner was about to return to his own country, had made use of this ruse to detain him here while a warrant was obtained in another quarter to apprehend him on another charge. Sir PETER LAURIE—As far as I can see in this matter, May has acted very properly, but at the same time it is evident to me that this charge has been trumped up at the eleventh hour, and without any foundation, in order that prisoner may be detained while other proceedings are being taken to prevent his leaving this country. It is a disgraceful case, and I am very sorry that any gentleman should have been so illused here, but at the same time it is very grati fying to know that the prisoner has to thank his own countryman for such treatment, and that it is not the act of an Englishman. I feel great pleasure in dis charging him, and can but regret he should have been given into custody at all. On this communication being made to the prisoner, be thanked the Alderman and retired. Neil 31‘ Shane, a middle-aged man, was charged with committing an assault upon Margaret Bosphor with a poker, whereby her lite was greatly endan gered. _ _ After partly hearing the case, the prisoner was remanded. CLERKEIVWELL. Charles Williams (supposed to be fictitious), a well-dressed young man, who refused to give his ad dress, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, in the cus tody of Sergeant Cole, 22, and Randall, of the N divi sion, charged with having attempted to pick pockets. It appeared from the evidence of the officers that on Tuesday last the ceremony of confirmation was cele brated by the Bishop of London, in Islington Church, which was crowded to excess, principally by ladies. At the conclusion of the service, whilst the congrega tion was leaving the church, the prisoner and a nu merous gang of the swell mob were observed in va rious parts of the crowd, hustling ladies, and attempt ing to pick their pockets. The prisoner was evidently the ringleader of the gang, and the above officers took him into custody, when he resisted and assaulted them, and Randall was severely injured by the priso ner's violence. After a most determined effort on the part of the officers, he was locked up in the station house. Mr. COMBE—You refuse to give your address ? Prisoner—Yes ; for the sake of my friends, who are respectable. Mr. COMBS-If you are respectable, you ought not to be afraid or ashamed of your residence, or to bring forward your friends to prove your respectability ; do you still refuse ? Prisoner—Well, I live in Mary street. Mr. COMBE—What Mary-street ? Prisoner— Mary-street, Drury-lane. The whole of the officers in court concurred that they knew no such place as Mary-street, Drury-lane. Mr. COMBR—What are you ? Prisoner (hesitat ingly)--I am a tailor by trade.—(A laugh.) Mr. COMBS inquired whether the ladies could be brought forward whose pockets the prisoner attempted to pick ? Sergeant Cole said it was probable that they might be brought forward. Mr. COMIIE-I shall not part with you. If you doH't give a better account of yourself, you will be committed for trial. Prisoner—Can't you settle it here, my loard, at vunce ; it 'ill save a great deal of trouble. lam as hinnocent as a babby. Mr. COMBS--You are remanded for a week. Send for your respectable friends. Mary-street, Drury lane, was like " No. 2, over the water."—(Laughter.) The prisoner was then remanded for a week. Prisoner—l wish, my loard, you would do it summary. _ _ He was locked up, and eventually conveyed to pri son in the police van. WESTMINSTER. Thomas Watson, a young man, was charged with committing a number of robberies. Mr. Joseph Darker, of 4, White Horse•street, Piccadilly, proprietor of coffee and dining-rooms, stated that the prisoner, who represented himself as a visitor to the metropolis for a few days, came to lodge at his house on the 14th of September, and left abruptly early on the morning of the 9th inst., without paying his bill. Shortly after his departure prosecutor missed five waistcoats, some trowsers, and other articles of wearing apparel, from his drawers in the prisoner's sleeping.room, which had been left locked. A number of pawnbrokers produced portions of the missing property. William Sinkins, 830 A, proved finding the du plicate 3 relating to these articles concealed in the lining of the prisoner's hat, when he took him into custody. He also produced an article of wearing ap parel belonging to the prosecutor,, which he found in his possession. Prisoner, with tact, cross-examined the prosecutor, but elicited nothing to his advantage. His only reply to the charge was, that he was the owner of one of the articles of wearing apparel positively identified by the prosecutor. He was committed for trial. John Cooper, a tailor, occupying apartments at the Red Lion, Princes-street, Westminster, was the next complainant. The prisoner, with the same story as before, took a lodging there on the 14th instant, and decamped on the morning of the 17th, when the pro secutor discovered that a drawer in which his clothing was kept had been forced, and his apparel carried off. G. Barker, a clothier, produced the stolen property, which had been sold to him by the prisoner, who alleged it was his own. The accused, who made no defence, was also com mitted upon this charge. Benjamin Harbour, waiter at the Red Lion, exhi bited a complaint against the prisoner for stealing all his clothing, and some money, from his room. Immediately after the prisoner had decamped from the house the waiter discovered that his drawers had been opened by some means, and all his wearables, with 103. in silver, carried off. A portion of the pro • perty which had been sold with Mr. Cooper's by the prisoner, was produced. The accused was further committed upon this charge. • John Purser, a traveller, from Huntingdon, wh o was staying for a few nights at the Red Lion, proved that on going to bed the night before the accused left, he placed his trowsers under his pillow, and in the morning discovered his purse and 13s. Od. gone. He went in quest of the prisoner, and meeting him in Newgate-market gave him into custody, when he saw him drop the purse and a quantity of silver money, corresponding with what he had lost. Prisoner, who set up a plea of innocence to this charge, was also committed for trial upon it. Mr. Symonds, an inspector of the B division, said there was another charge against the prisoner for robbing Bridget Carroll, a poor servant girl at a tavern. He had asked her to lend him 55,, when she took down a little work-box with a sovereign in it, in order to assure him that she had no change, when he adroitly substituted a gift medal for the sovereign. Mr. BRODERIP thought it unnecessary to proceed with this case, as prisoner already stood committed on four charges. PROJECTED TUBULAR BRIDGE ACROSS THE MER SEY.-Mr. Cunningham, architect, of Liverpool, has sub mitted a project to the directors of the various railway com panies interested in the communication between Birkenhead and Liverpool, for a railway to cross the Mersey, and thus connect Birkenhead and Liverpool for all kinds of transit. Mr. Cunningham proposes to sink an iron tube in the bed of the river, buried so completely below the surface thereof that there would be no more obstruction to the currents than at present. The tube would have perpendicular sides and an arched roof. It would be placed in a prepared bed, and would be protected outwardly by various contrivances. Inter nally there would be two lines of rails running on each side of the tube with a passage in the middle for pedestrians. The entire work, it is estimated, would cost not more than 250,0001. It would form a complete moans of transit for goods, railway passengers, and pedestrians between Liverpool and Birkenhead, besides opening a communication to and from Liverpool for all the railways feeding the Cheshire junction. ST. CLEMENT DANES. Yesterday evening a vestry meeting was held in the vestry-room of the parish of St. Clement Danes, to fix the amount of the third rate to be assessed for the necessary relief of the poor, and to elect the offi cers who hold places of emolument in the parish for the ensuing year. The Rev. W. W. Ellis, the rector of the parish, occupied the chair. The minutes of the preceding vestry meeting having having been read and confirmed, Mr. J. F. ISAACSON, the vestry clerk, stated, with reference to the existing nuisances in Holy well street, Newcastle-court, and other parts of the pa rish, that he had, by the direction of the churchwar dens, recently waited on the Commissioners of Police, for the purpose of making a representation to them on the subject of those nuisances, and to solicit their aid in putting them down. Ho was received by them with the utmost politeness, and, on hearing his state ment, they begged him to convey to the churchwar dens the expression of their regret that their time was so fully occupied that they could not undertake to address themselves immediately to the abatement of the nuisances in question, but that they would lend their assistance in every possible way to the parish in any endeavours they might make with that view. The churchwardens' monthly accounts for August and September were then audited. The meeting next proceeded to fix the amount of poor-rate. Mr. ISAACSON said the accounts showed that the balance due to the bankers was 331. 10s. Bd. ; on ac count of the guardians' warrant, 1,650/. ; in respect of county rates, 2721. ss. 31. ; jury lists and registration expenses, 50/. ; and fire awards, &c., 50/. ; total, 2,0551. 153. 11d.; to meet which there was available from the rate-books 180/. ; leaving a balance to be provided for by rate of 1,8751. 158. 11d. Mr. PETERS proposed that a rate of 7d. in the pound be collected for that purpose. He said that in ordinary circumstances a rate of Gd. in the pound was sufficient to raise the necessary sum for the maintenance of the poor, but on this occasion it had been found desirable to add another penny to make up the deficiency caused by the empty houses in the parish, which were greatly on the increase. Mr. WooDwAnD said that in Mr. Shirvill's district alone 150/. had been lost during the last quarter by empty houses. _ After some little discussion, the motion was put and carried. The meeting then proceeded to inquire into the sufficiency of the sureties proposed for the several col lectors of the land and assessed taxes, with which they expressed themselves satisfied. _ _ The officers who hold offices of emolument in the parish were next severally elected—viz., Mr. J. F. Isaacson, as vestry clerk, at a salary of 1501.; Mr. Samuel Brown, as organist, at 651. ; Mrs. Mary Ann Fitch, as sextoness, at 951.; Mr. Joseph Norman, as vestry-keeper, 50/. ; Mr. Wm. Boyle, as winder of church clock and changes, at 211.; Mr. Wm. Smith, as organ blower, at 101.; and Mr. Richard Baker, as beadle, at 301. A vote of thanks to . the, chairman terminated the proceedings. LAURA ADDISON, CATHERINE HAYES, AND JENNY LIND. (From the New York herald, Oct. 11.) BROADWAY THEATRE.--The great success of Miss Laura Addison in the play of the Patrician's Daughter, the house being visited every night by the most en lightened and discerning audiences, who express their pleasure and satisfaction by the most enthusiastic cheering, will be repeated to-night, with the same excellent cast of characters. She will be assisted by Messrs. Conway, Fenno, Madame Ponisi, and other artistes of great dramatic celebrity. The entertain ments will close with Platonic Attachments, in which Davidge, a very fine actor, and a great favourite, with Mr. Shaw, Mrs. Abbott, Miss Crocker, in the leading characters. Those who wish to enjoy a delightful treat, in the classic and beautiful performances of Miss Laura Addison, who has won golden opinions since her first appearance at the Broadway theatre, should avail themselves of this opportunity. This evening Catherine Hayes gives the ninth and last of her present series of concerts in this city. On Monday she proceeds to Boston, and sings there on Tuesday evening. On Wednesday evening, the 15th, she sings at Providence, and on the 16th at Boston again. How many concerts she intends to give at Boston is not as yet determined ; but it is probable she will return to New York by about the 3d of November, when she will give a few concerts more before she proceeds on her tour South and West. Last evening she attended Fellows' Minstrels, and subsequently the performances of the Wizard of the North, at the Astor Place Theatre. During the day she visited the High Bridge. Her concert on Thurs day evening was about the best of the present series. The enthusiasm was intense, and the house was filled to overflowing. Father Mathew was in attendance. The committee of arrangements for the Conover benefit have handed us the following note : " 300, Broadway, New York, Oct. 9, 1851. " Gentlemen,—At the request of Miss Catherine Hayes, I enclose you twenty-five dollars in aid of the funds for the benefit of the family of the late William Conover, comedian, and am desired to say that her own professional engagements will not allow her to be present as desired by you. While the committee must be aware of the numerous applications made to her for relief from her own destitute countrymen, she hopes this will be an apology for the small sum placed at your disposal. Be pleased to accept, Gen tlemen, assurances of esteem and good wishes fur the success of this praiseworthy object. "For Miss Catherine Hayes, "J. H. WARDWELL. "James Turner, Esq., Chairman Corn. of Arrangements, Conover Benefit." Jenny Lind, assisted by Salvi, Joseph Burke, Otto Goldsmith, Belletti (not Belletti, the barytone, who sang with Miss Lind before), will commence her second musical tour on the 15th of the present month at BuffAlo, whence she will proceed to Toronto, De troit, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, thence to New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. She will be here about the 15th of December, and will give her last concert in New York. Benedict has gone to Naples, owing to the illness of his wife, and Giovanni Bel letti is under an engagement to Lumley, to sing in Paris and London, from November to June, begin ning at Paris and ending in London. From this it may be inferred that Jenny Lind will not appear in opera, as has been stated. She has in fact made up her mind, finally, never to appear in opera again, and she will probably adhere to her resolution. FATAL AFFRAY WITH POACHERS. MANSFIELD, OCT. 23.—During the pant week great exertions have been made by the local authorities to discover the members of a desperate gang of night poachers who have been accustomed to infest the pre serves in this neighbourhood in large numbers, armed with boulders, flails, and bludgeons, so as to be pre pared to cope with the keepers if they chanced to fall in their way. On Monday night, the 13th instant, about thirty poachers, thus armed, were pursuing their nightly occupations on land at Rufford, belonging to the Earl of Scarborough, when they were encountered by the keepers and watchers, ten in number, who, anticipat ing the encounter, were all armed with flails made purposely for their use. The handles were about four feet long, and the piece of wood, attached by a swivel to the end, was fifteen or sixteen inches in length. The flail, in former days, was much used on such oc casions as these, and not unusually they were loaded with lead ; but they met with the universal condem nation of the judge, and had gradually gone out of use, until it seems they have been revived shortly previous to this affray, the chief incidents of which will be gathered from the following evidence, taken at an inquest held to-day, before Mr. Falkner, one of the county coroners, upon the body of William Ro berts, who was killed during the affray on the night in question. Frederick Edward Brock, of Rufford, gamekeeper, deposed—l am in the service of the Earl of Scar borough. On the night of the 13th instant, I, with nine others, was concealed amongst Machin's gorse, at Rufford. Several poachers came down the road, and passed us ; I think there were about 30 of them I was not more than six yards from the road. There was a heap of stones opposite to me. I heard them drop these stones one by one into their pockets. A. soon as they ware about thirty yards past us, I told our men to take off their cloaks, and get ready. I am son of his Lordship's head keeper. We slow andeifollioowedo the grass into the road , a s q uietl y as we eould. After still,we hadwe found advanced a netabout setlBoon the ya road. r d s , wa When we got to the net, we went considerably quicker, and upon reaching Cartlidge's gate we saw three men close to it. They began to throw stones at us. They then rushed away to get over the stile. One of them suc ceeded ; the other two did not. The deceased, who was a fine, strong young man, and Samuel Herod, knocked them down with their flails. The third, who got away, whistled. About thirty yards down the first field I overtook another man, and knocked him down with my flail. I passed on, and saw a num ber of poachers coming up the other field. I think there were thirty-four of them all together. They threw stones at us which weighed from half a pound to three pounds a piece ; and we threw stones at them, for we had taken a lot in our pockets from the road. Our stones were from a pound to a pound and a half each. I was knocked down, and remained for some time insensible. I had the command of our men. We determined to go on fighting whilst any man was standing on either side. We were beaten by poachers two years ago, and were determined not to be beaten again. I did not shoot off my pistol, but it went off in my pocket by being struck with a stone from a poacher. James Brock said—Whilst we were knocking the poachers down with our flails as fast as we could one of the poachers throw a largo EMIIO and hit Roberts ----------------- , Biel over H the head, and knocked him dovvn. a bil do ero , d went to him, when he said, " Ob, S Ar° ' ti se, ne.
