A boy, named Joseph Knox, eight years old, living in Mill-street. was found drowned in Toxteth Dock on Wednesday. A child;sixteen months old, named Gerard Steele, in Bond-street, died on Wednesday from an over-dose of laudanum administered by its mother. The Constellation, NeV7 York packet (1850 tons), car ried out 875 steerage passengers, and all the minor vessels are full. The Tuscarora, Philadelphia packet, had up wards of 500. _ _ On Sunday forenoon, Bridget Joyce, wife of a labouring man residing in Bent-street, called out for some one to take leer child, and immediately dropped upon the floor. She died a few hours afterwards. _ On Wednesday, a man named George Millar, lodging in Gibraltar-row, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. He was of very intemperate habits and was observed to be afflicted with delirium. On Tuesday, some of the office furniture of Mr. T. B. M`Manus was put up by auction, at Mr. Gaskill's sale room, in Duke-street. The historic interest now attached to Mr. M 4 Manus did not in the least heighten the price of the articles, and one purchaser bought nearly all. On Wednesday, Grace Parkinson, a girl eleven a half years old, living in 'renterden-street, was killed at Mr. Myers's flour-mill, Limekiln-lane, through getting en tangled with the machinery. It is supposed that in passim her clothes were caught by the machine. ROYAL INSTITUTION ScHooL.—On Saturday last, at Clare Hall, Cambridge, Mr. Thomas Barber, late a pupil at the above institution, gained the first place and first prize in classics in, the college examination at the end of term. MR. JOSIAS BOOKUR.—This gentleman is at present in the West Indies, and has purchased at Demerara the plantation Profit" for 10,230 dollars. Three other plan tations, the Greenfield, Eccles, and Henry, were sold at the same time. They formerly belonged to Messrs. Glen, and cost £lOO,OOO sterling. The four only brought 32,380 dollars, or £6,7;50. In the Admiralty Court, on Wednesday, judgment was given against 'the Orion, Glasgow steamer, for having run down the brig Eiviere, in the Mersey, on the 23d of Oct. last. The -elder brethren were 'of opinion that the steamer's statement condemned herself. Had she norted instead of starboarded her helm, the accident could not have occurred. They exonerated the brig from all blame. The court pronounced for the damage, with costs. EVAVINATION OF MASTETtS AND MATES.—At 43 meeting of the board of examiners on Wednesday, Capt.

SCHEME. — In consequence of the proceedings in Council on Wednesday, a 1 Harbord has addressed an energetic letter to the burgesses of Great George `Ward, whioh will no doubt have itaweight with the resr,ective constituen cies in the boroug!a. The writer commences by stating, that since he .firet had the honour to.bc elected to a seat in the Coutioil, in November 1847, ho has devoted hira-- self, to the best-cf his ability, to promote the interests of his constituents, and those of the-burgesses at large; that, in acoordanc e with their he had done 1 lated to inflict .lasting injuiy on the town—namely, the Rivington Pikejob4 but that a disappointed minority 431 thx. ('.ninth hfava hurl rorniirca to 111PnIallYPC uchirh ranalPs ,e of the m Tityfor the time being inoperative heir in' upon the y for ar junction to prevent that body from carrying the wishes of the burgesses into effect. These men, driven from their seats in the ,Ceuncil, had had the hardihood, is their private rapacity, to attempt to intimidate the re presentatives of the burgesses by threats of Chancery interference, which,--at the least, if pursued, will involve the town in great expense, for the benefit , of the lawyers and parliamentary agents. The writer then calls upon his constituents to ,coovene a meeting on an early day to determine upon the steps to be taken, and he suggests that they should employ some eminent lawyer or lawyers, who, not having had, anything to do with ate discarded scheme, might be enabled to point out the beet course to be pursued, in the dilemma in which the Council is placed. /Me concludes by strongly urging that no time should be .lost in taking decisive_ steps to defeat the busy enemy. :We take it tOr granted(thitt Mr. H.'s suggestiOn will be attended to by tne burgesses of Great George Ward, and that other constitueacies..equally interested will attend the meeting. _ IGRATION.—From theextent of her dimensions, and the general fit-out of the emigration ship Courier, now in the .Sound, she is eminently deserving a notice ;in our ,columns. This fine ship., of 1060 tons register, is com manded by Captain Mellin, and is one of the Australian lined packets belonging to Messrs. Fielden Brothers, of Liverpool. The Courier is ,bound to Melbourne, Port Phillip, with 3311 statute adults, or 400 souls, who, ,not withstanding their number, will find ample accommoda tion in her between-decks, which are 150 feet long., 1;31 broad, .and 91 feet, average height. The complement of the Courier, with a general cargq, is thirty hands, but, with emigrants, she carries a crew of sixty, Her pas sengers include English, Irish, and Scotch, and among the latteris a native of Inverness-shire, Mr. Macpherson, who, with kis wife and eight healthy children, form a family which any industrious eolony,need be proud to re ceive. Besides a qualified surgeon, the Government, in this instance, owing to the number of passengers, have appointed azeh,oolmaster, in the person of a stout hale old gentlemannamed Barlow, formerly. adjutant, King's Dragoon Guards, and Cheshire Yeomanry, and latterly schoomaster in Yeadon, Yorkshire, and at Crewe, in Cheshire. This--good-tempered-looking Dominie, with his early militany.education, seems admirably qualified to unite good discipline with the proper tuition.of the various descriptions of pupils who will fall under his training dur ing the voyage. To give some idea of the :quantity of provisions required by the emigrants on board the Courier, it is only necessary to state that she has 200 casks of water, containing 215 gallons each, and two iron tanks, holding 2600 gallons, - besides 50 casks for the crew, con taining 150 gallons each, altogether about 52,600 gallons. Her provisions and equipment in every other respect are furnished on the same extensive scale, by Messrs. Folding and Symonds, of Liverpool.— West of England Con.- .servative. _ _ SUPPLY or WATER.—On Tuesday evening last, Henry Gore, Esq., of London, delivered a lecture at the Colle giate Institution on hydrodynamics, or " The means of supplying water in ancient and modern times." The attendance was not very numerous--a fact somewhat surprising, considering the interest which the supply-of water question has latterly excited in Liverpool. Mr. Gore's remarks were illustrated with diagrams and model working apparatus, the two branches of th e subject— hydrostatics and hydraulics—being most fully and lucidly explained. The principle of the hydrostatical bellows, by means of which Erarnah's hydraulic press obtains its force, was described, the lecturer mentioning the various uses to which it may be applied. In the course of his remarks, he observed on the importance of water as a sanitary agent, and said that mere financial reasons should never be allowed to operate in preventing the supply of water to mankind. He showed that in the earlier ages water was often brought from a considerable distance, a n d at great expense. From existing historical records, it would appear that the ancient Egyptians were the first to turn their attention to the supplying of cities with water: they did so by sinking holes in the rocks to a considerable depth. The Jews also seemed to have been fully aware of the importance of supplying their cities with water, the Mosaic law being exceedingly stringent with reference to purification; and the lecturer alluded to the aqueduct constructed by solomou, in order to supply Jerusalem TIE LiYIRP•OL STANDARD. with water. &ibiramis, Queen of Assyria, and founder of Babylon ) constructed an aqueduct to supply that city. which was of immense strength, and calculated to yield miler for a considerable distance. The Greeks comme morated the finding of a spring by a festival and religious services took place on the anniversary of the opening of a well. The wells of the Greeks were celebrated for their architectural beauty and costliness. The ancient supply of Rome was 100 cubic feet of water per diem for each individual • whereas, at the present time in England, we had scarcely one cubic foot in 24 hours for each individual. This he attributed to the want of protection to capital, and to the prejudice which generally existed against re ceiving supplies from proposed sources. Mr. Gore was frequently applauded during the course of his remarks ; and, in conclusion, stated that in his next lecture he should allude more fully to the supply of water in modern times. On Friday, Mr. Gore resumed his subject; hut to a very thin audience. He gave a cursory but very inte resting historical sketch of the various modes of water sup ply employed in France, America, and our own country. Speaking of the Roman aqueducts, he called especial attention to the fact that even at a considerable outlay, uniformity of velocity was sought in conveying the water from its primary reservoirs to the city. The gradient given to large aqueducts was about six inches per mile; and he mentioned one instance to show that, although if the water had been brought in a straight line it would only have to traverse 22 miles, it was taken a sinuous course in the country, a length of 44 miles, to secure a uniform descent. The lecturer sketched the magnificent projects of water supply originated in the time and through the means of Louis Quatot ze, and concluded by special and interesting reference to the chief works undertaken in our own country. We ought to mention that Mr. Gore was assisted in some of his illustrations by the patent rapid water purifier of Mr. Forster, of South John-street, which he said was the best invented, whether as regarded the main object in view or the neatness and convenience of the apparatus, which may be constructed of any size for the use of private families or large public establish ments. LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL, DEFEAT OF THE ROMANS The despatches which have been received from General Oudinot by the Government are dated 4th of Jane, five o'clock a.m., from the head-quarters, the Villa Pamfili. The attack commenced at three o'clock on the morning of ;'3rd, when the Villa Pamfili, the church of San Pan• zia, the Villas Corsino and Valentine were successively The Villa Pamfili was defended by numberless ricades and 20,000 men. More than 2 - 00 prisoners, including 10 officers, were taken by the French before five the same morning; three standards and 200,000 cartridges were also captured. The Church San Pancrazia was taken at seven o'clock a.rn., and the Palace Corsini at ten o'clock, and at the same hour the Villa Valentini. The Romans set fire to these positions with their mortars, and the French had to abandon them, ksit they were immediately retaken. Garibaldi tried to turn the left of the French position, but failed. On the night of the 3rd the Romans had attempted A sortie, but were driven back. In the taking of these important positions the French had 1G men wounded, of whom 7 were officers. The amount of killed is not stated. The despatch states that the Freud ,roops be, aumira►bty, Besides the official despatch just mentioned, two tek graphic despatches are - said to have been received, which would fix the loss of the 'Romans at 800 killed and wounded, and 300110.

In March an army of 15,000 Russian infantrv.under the -d of Geneml . Yestoroff, collected on the frontier Comma' of Mingrelia, precede&by bodies of Georgian, Mingrelian, and . Schoum cavalry. The Cireassiane,eollected in fo midable forces, allowed the Russians to enter the r Socha ; and compelled - them to give.battae at a very notice; but as none-but such fighting .r immediate neighbourhood could be gut n as were in the ,ier in time, the number of eircassians who lay did not exceed 4,0'00 r 5,000 men though others came up subsequently: The auxiliary troops who led the van were attacked most vigorously and put to the route, leaving on the field'3;r3o men. It was a complete mune gi4?eut, and most of the Russian party throw down their arms to escape the more quickly. The Circassians pursued them hotly. This ended the affair. The Russians colleoted again, but again they were re pulsed, and General Nestoroff, considering the attempt useless, retired with , the remnant of :his army to Tiflis. , In the meanwhile the Circassians did. not remain idle; they organised a plan of attack on Socha, one of the most important fortresses in Abaza, situate , between Auapat and - Souboumkale, and noted on European maps as Mamai. They organized their plans so secretly that on the 17th of April, during a violent hurricane, they attacked the gar rison of Socha with such a determination that a panic took possession of the besieged, whose. cnly object was escape from destruction, which was the.more to be appre hended, inasmuch , as the Circassians did , not at first em barass themselves with prisoners, but put to the sword all who fell into their hands. Some of theatussians got off to-several small ships of war at anchor ‘,in boats, others and a good many :were drowned in by swimming, liins fell in ti air rnonntain The Circassians carried away 1 160 guns, large quantities of and ammunition.

This is, we believe, the first publication of a lady who is better known to the musical,world in Liverpool as their favourite Miss Roseieseph, than by her married name of 11`Dougall ; and from the present specimen of her abili ;ties as a composer, we may anticipate for her as much deserved success in this walk of her art as she earned amongst us as a vocklist. The -Soften Polka does not belong to the class of ,compositions brought before the world by Jullien, Straus, and other modern composers. It presents no startling difficulties for the player ; no bi zarre eombbiations. The score is easy throughout ; the theme graceful and flowing, and, if a polka can be said to possess.sen ti men t, Mrs. M . Dougall' sh as this characteristic. We can safely predict that it will become a favourite with the public; and shall be glad to welcome further efforts from herpen. COUNTY MEETING AT GLOUCESTER.- Qn Saturday, a meering of " the owners and occupiers of lrnd and others interested in agriculture in the county of Glouces ter," was held in the Shire-hall in that city, " to take into consideration the present distressed state of the agricultural interest, and the best means to be adopted for :,he relief thereof." The requisition had 3963 signa tpres appended to it, representing 407,765 acres, and the attendance, which comprised the leading agriculturists of the county, many tenant farmers and labourers, was most numerous and respectable. After resolutions had been moved and seconded, in favour of the objects of the meet ing, Earl Ducie and Mr. Grantley Berkeley moved amendments, to the effect that the present distress was occasioned by the unequal pressure of taxation. The original resolutions were carried by a majority of two thirds of the meeting. THE CHOLERA. - At Upper Rainbaw, near Chatham, several cases of cholera have been reported, 15 of which have terminated fatally, and five bodies were buried on Friday. The disease first made its appearance in some cottages in the rear of Mr. Lampard's, a blacksmith, the whole of which are inhabited by poor people with large families. The disease is suspected to have first broken out by a woman dying in one of the cottages, which being closed, together with the heat of the sun, produced a dreadful stench, and the effluvium being inhaled by the inmates, they fell victims to the disease, which spread from one cottage to another. The survivors have all been removed by the parish authorities to a large house, which is appropriated as a hospital. These deaths have occurred within a few hours after being attacked. The parish authorities are cleansing out all the cottages, and white washing and fumigating them. At present there Re no fresh cases. THE WALLISEY COMMISSIONERS AND THE INHABITANTS OF SEACOMBE. The condition and well-being of the communities over the water are certainly fair subjects for the consideration of the press of Liverpool. The Cheshire villages are the most delightful retreats of our merchants and others ; our most delightful places for midday excursions ; and it is an object to those, for whom they afford such sources of enjoyment, to see that they are well governed ; and that the tradesmen resident in them are afforded every aid to enable them to provide, with economy, for the accommodation not only of residents but of casual visitors. We make no apology, therefore, for directing the atten tion of our readers to the report in our columns of the proceedings at their last meeting of the Wallasey Con.- missioners, a body who have under their rule one of the most beautiful marine portions of the Wirral Peninsula. The body in question—a kind of rural Town Council — contains amongst its members a majority of the monied or commercial-aristocratic class. New Brighton and Egremont override, somewhat, the more populous and humble villages of Seacombe _and Liscard. Sanitory efforts have occupied their first attention ; and properly so. Good sewerage should precede building and the settlement of a considerable population. But it has justly been conceived by the inhabitants of the. settled portion of the district that taxation for these objects should, in the first instance, be appl. to the improvement of the streets and dwellings erected, -ant . ' not for the convenience of straggling villas, or the im provement of outlying building land. The reverse, how ever, is said to have been the practice of the Commis sioners. Extensive schemes have been preferred to schemes for works immediately wanted ; and, had these not been in a great measure checked, the result would have been a very severe pressure upon the inhabitants and tradesmen in the built-upon portions of the district. It is com plained, moreover, that the improvements determined upon are carried out with little consideration for the con venience of the people of Seacombe—the oldest ferry— whilst that of its more aristocratic rivals, the Egremont and New Brighton ferries, is more cons'derately regarded. We shall give an instance, previously to remarks upon the proceedings contained in our report of the last com missioners' meeting. In the winter months of last year, and the commencement of the present, a sewer was made running down the principal street—if street it can be called —of Seacombe ; the main road, in fact, from Liscard, Poulton, Egremont, New Brighton, and the interior por tions of the hundred to the Seacombe Ferry. For four months this thoroughfare was interrupted, and the business of the shopkeepers and other inhabitants of Seacombe seriously impeded. The road has not even yet been put in a fit state for the accommodation of the traffic of the neighbourhood to and from Seacombe Ferry. It is now proposed, on the petition, we understand, of six (1) rate payers of the township of Liscard, that the sewerage should be proceeded with ; and that the proportion now to be commenced shall be from Egremont Church to what Sea combe people know as Orrell's Corner, a point where the sewer down Seacombe village commenced. To carry on rupt the whole of the traffic from Liscard, New Brighton, and Egremont to the Seacombe Ferry; and these summer months are the most important to all ferry proprietors. We do not, of course, impute motives to any of the com- We do not go the length rematkec missioners for sr of Mr. Richard Parry in considering that it evidences a pre disposition on the part of certain of the commissioners to sacrifice the Seacombe Perry to the Egremont and New Brighton. But it is singular, nevertheless, that the six petitioners, or the people of Liscard, should show such amazing zeal for the sewerage of the distance f-- mont :h to Orrell's es;iner. If the church itself is mediate distance between the church and Seacombe there ;le row of dwelling-houses--few in number — e accommodated by these works, and the The houses in question might is only a si which can Egremont Bridewell not so already; and if the talent of the engineer of the Wailasey commissioners, Mr. Higgins, must needs have active employment, such employment might surely be afforded him at a:period more convenient to the commu nity of ‘Vhich he is the rervant.

MESSRS. TONGE, CURRY AND CO.'S SALE BY AUCTION,OY THE SHIP WINDSOR CASTLE. Yesterday, the sale of the above vessel took place at the Sale-room of Messrs. Tonge, Curry and Co. .the exten sive and well-known brokers for the sale of ships, Derby bui lings, in the.pretence of a fair number of merchants hnd others interested in shipping property. Mr— Curry officiated as auctioneer on the occasion. The Windsor Castle is a ship of .721 .56-94 tons 0.111.. and 812 20-100 N.M., and was thus described by the brokers:— "This very superior vessel has a full poop, with spa cious cabins, and top-gallant forecastle; was built for private use, of well-selected materials, at Quebec, by George Black, in 1840. Her stem, apron, hooks, stern post, trantoms, &c., are all of African oak. She is copper fastened, iron kneed, and in 1846 had thorough and extensive repairs in Livapool, under the superintend. care of Lloyd's surveyors,, when she was completely overhauled and newly . &heated with Muntz's yellow metal ; since that time she nes been well kept. She sails fast, having recently arrived from Callao, and discharged up wards of 1,050 tons guano in excellent order; and being abundantly found in stores, can be sent to sea with little expense except provisions." Her :dimensions are—Length, 138 feet 5 inches ; ,breadth, .30 feet 9 inches; depth, 21 feet 9 inches ; and 'height between decks, 6 feet 10 inches. One of the con ditions of the sale was, that the brokers were to have the privilege of Ilidding once on behalf of the owners. The ship was put up at £lOOO, which was raised at the next bid to £1,500. A hundred at a bidding was advanced up to £2,000, after which £2O at a time was advanced, until the last bidding of £2,620, at which she was knocked down, no reserved bidding having been made. At this price her cost will be £3 4s. per ton new measurement, or £3 12s. 6d. old measurement. . . We have noticed particularly this sale, on account of the interest naturally attendant upon the state of pro perty in shipping at the present crisis—and because we suspect from the number of vessels just now coming into the market to be disposed of, as may be seen by the advertisements of such sales, by the same brokers, in our columns of to-day, that a feeling of uneasiness exists in the minds of owners, greater than circumstances appear as vet to warrant. The result of this sale, we believe, will have been perfectly satisfactory to the brokers, the price being, considering the class of the vessel, ve r y goo d. This, in part, arises from the circumstance of her being purchased from his co-partners, by one of he r owners . It is, however, a fact that, notwithstanding any natural fear of the result of the repeal of the navigation laws, pro perty in ships is, from the abundance of money and a l arge demand for freights, at present readily saleable at fair prices. A. Luc Y SPECULATIC From Panama we lea that a gentleman connected with Liverpool, who recently arrived there from this country on his way to California, found on his arrival a large accumulation of passengers, and no ships to convey them. He proceeded at once to Callao, and there chartered three vessels to take part cf them to San Francisco, by which operation he cleared upwards of £l,OOO, without being under any cash advance whatever, and also secured freight room for some pas that be purchased iu Lima for the same destination. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. EXCHANGE NEWS-ROOM, MONDAY. Delenda est Roma The denouement of the affair Oudinot versus Garibaldi, after the extensive preparations for defence on the part of the latter, has come upon us rather suddenly. Intelligence arrived in Liverpool this afternoon, from Paris. stating that the g o v ernment were in possession of despatches to the effect that the French army entered Rome on the sth instant ; it was also sup posed that the Roman army had capitulated. The state of Europe is no better for this event ; and the question generally asked one of another on 'Change was, " What will they do next ?" Supposing nothing happens to interrupt Republican France in her determination to replace Papal supremacy in Rome, it is clear, from the temper shewn by the population in the late struggle, that nothing less than the occupation of the city by French soldiery can perpetuate the injustice ; and it is very ques tionable whether such a proceeding would be palatable to Austria herself. The possibility of France repelling the advances of the Autocrat may also prove another casus belli •, and the very probability of one French army repel ling despotism in the north, while another is supporting it in the south—the one the foe, and the other the ally, of Austria—is certainly one of the most curious anomalies which have occurred in modern diplomacy. We have done an extraord nary business in the great staple of our m-,nu'acturing operatioris in tnis district, con sidering the various bellicose i di ations, and the certainty of unsettled European markets :or some time to come. 77,820 bales of Cotton c anged hands during the week terminating on Friday labt ; of which, although a larger portion than usual were sold to speculators, considerabl' more than the amount were for th, 'erage We trade.

Bre.,—The projected formation of a general Chamber of Commerce in Liverpool is evidently calculated to render a great practical benefit to this commercial community. It is intended to unite, with one object, the various branches of trade. and simultaneously work for the progress and prosperity of the commercial interests of the town. With a view to reconcile opposite views of commercial policy, to support with energy measures necessary to the welfare of the town and the country, and to remonstrate against public wrongs, the formation of such a chamber would be of an immense weight. Numerous advantages would flow from such a public body whose direction would com prehend the elected representatives of every department of business. When we observe how often the princi pal interests of Liverpool are sacrificed to partial legisla tion, and when we see the standing of the town compro mised through the want of a proper body forwarding its progress, it cannot but unanimously be agreed that unity of action is the best means to promote her welfare, and that a representation of the commercial interests thus con stituted would tend to promote wonderfully her real ad vancement. Let the public clearly understand that there is no counterbalance in the commercial interests; that each prospers through the prosperity of the other, {or falls through the other's fall; that the best means of contri buting to one's own interest is by supporting and advanc ing the other's interests, and then the universal good will be attained. Party feelings have been a great check to commercial prosperity. They have operated already with too much farce in the various momentous questions lately discussed in Parliament. The proposal of ,creating a tribunal of commerce for all commercial questions, composed of commercial men, with a stipendiary judge as a president, cannot but too earnestly be inculcated. It would be an immense boon to the pub- quish any to obtain justice by the court of laws, through the enormous costs that they must incur, but are deprived even of the protection of the laws through their not being administered when the immediate enforce- • ment is wanted. As the co-operation of all the leaders of the public mind is of the utmost value for obtaining any great and comprehensive reform, I shall be very happy if you will lend your assistance.—Yours, A MERCHANT. OBSERVATIONS DURING A RECENT TOUR THROUGH SIX COUNTIES OF IRELAND. We are indebted to an Irish gentleman, resident in Liverpool, but well qualified to form an opinion of the real condition of his fellow countrymen, for a few facts and observations, collected during a recent tour through the counties of Waterford, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Carlow, Kildare, and Dublin. These counties. together with Wexford, may be said to comprise the finest agricultural portions of Ireland ; and hence this may be said to pre- sent a view of the state of the country in its most favour- able light Never, we learn, have the agricultural prospects of these counties been greats r than they now are. Abund- ance, splendid crops of every description, presented them selves on all sides. The potatoe crop, in particular, was most promising, and not the least symptom of blight had made its appearance. The grass crops were also most luxuriant. Never, within the experience of our inform ant, did the whole district present so beautiful a spectacle ; yet, here and there, the effect was painfully marred by the sight of the bare walls of deserted dwellings, or the traces of recent ejections and clearances. In the midst of all this shew of agricultural wealth, the population were en during most trying distress; absolutely living on the hope Of enjoying a portion of the food by which they were surrounded, and eking out a sorry subsistence by the sad dest shifts. On( ;tice was families to contribute their butter the purpose of making up a solita immediate necessities.

The cry for repeal and other similar bubbles has given way to the conviction that individual advanc be effected by individual enterprise as e social ale can only y industry. Of course, there is a reverse to this picture of the state of feeling, among the Irish people, and a painfnl one. The question is stirring in their minds, what is to be done with the harvest when it is got in ? And the answer is beginning to be made that it must not be allowed to go out of the country to pay the demands of the landlord We cannot, they say, perry LI rselves to within an hair's breadth of sta are being agitated by which their ce, it is let one f ain to be reduced Various moi be gained a a dozen pay his round, e bring their green crops daily to feed them. Others advo cate passive resistance, and allowing the landowner to take the crops off the fields himself instead of rent. It is to be hoped, however, that none of these plans may be acted upon, and that a little mutual forbearance may bring about ultimately a better state of things. The great majority of landlords in these counties have acted with great conside ration towards their suffering tenantry. But the collec tion of poor rates has been rigidly enforced, dispossessing hundreds of the only feeble hopes to which they could cling. great s It is remarkable, our informant stet may of live stock in Ireland.

After a search of some hours they succeeded (with the as sistance of the local police) in apprehending the delin quents on board a packet-ship bound for New York, and found in their possession the whole of the stolen property. MR. JAMES PARKER " MOBBED."-At the meeting of the Health Committee, on Thursday, Mr. Parker (who came into the room perspiring freely, when the business was nearly terminated) said he had been assaulted and mobbed by the sausage-makers, in consequence of his statement at the meeting last week ; they said he had ruined the trade. (Lauhter.)—The Chairman: They will prepare a crown for you. (Renewed laughter.)—Mr. Parker : They_ want me to name the individual.—Mr. Wa'thew asked if Mr. Parker had brought them a speci men of the polonies, as he promised to do. Mr. Parker replied that he had not seen the Market Committee. INCIIEASE OF RAILWAY RECEIPTS.—The increase in the receipts on the leading lines of railway for the week ending the 2nd of June, as compared with the correspond ing week of last year, is extraordinary and unprecedented. On the Lancashire and Yorkshire, with 100 additional miles opened, the increase is no less than £8,300; on the Midland Counties, with only 40 additional miles, the increase is £4.600 ; on the London and South-Western, with an additional 20 miles, the increase is £3,600 ; on the London and North-Western, with an ition of 7 mil n the G Lt 'Western, with the augmentation an addition of 40 miles 'there is an increase of £2, 5 00; on the London and Soudi-Eastern, without any additional mileage, £2,500; on the Manchester and Sheffield, without any increase of mileage, £2,400; on the London and Brighton, with the same mileage as in the corresponding week of last year, the increase is £2,100 ; on the Eastern! Counties, with 27 additional miles, the augmentation is £1,700 ; and on the Caledonian, with the same mileage, their traffic, and, now that trade is inproving, it is expected that the increase will continue. Nothing can be more calculated to recover railway property' from its undue oppression I han such encouraging accounts Olserver. of an increase in the traffi —[Our contemporary ou here alluded to was WE last year.] .s are herein give have stated that the week k, which was not the case
