William Griffiths, a joiner, was at work in the back room, and although there are no traces of lightning in this room, he was found lying insensible in the corner. He has since recovered. The seventh house, a shop, appears to have escaped without injury. In the eighth house, the last in the row, Mrs. Elizabeth Fletcher, wife of Mr. Joseph Fletcher, of 32, Porter-street, who owns the property, was standing in the door way, was struck by the lightning, and was for some time in a state approaching insensibility. Two men who were on the ground floor, William Gleave, a carter, aged 32, and Thomas Crossley, aged 18, were killed on the spot. A boy named Robert Whitworth was also struck by the lightning in the seventh house. The electric fluid struck the house of Mr. Hilton Sevill, in Trafford Park-view, Eccles New-road, and set fire to one of the beds and bed. ding. On the alarm caused by the shock subsiding, the fire was discovered and speedily extinguished. GENERAL NEWS. JOHNNY BROOME, the boxer, who absconded from his bail at the late Sussex assizes, has been apprehended at Brussels. PANT -G enly mandant EXPORTATION OF SILVER COINAGE TO AUSTRALIA.— The demands at the Bank of England, the Royal Mint, andthecity and west-end banking-houses for silver coinage (sixpences, shillings, florins, half-crowns, and five-shilling pieces) have been very numerous within the last few weeks. One party, it is said, having been able to obtain to the amount of - £lO,OOO, which has been shipped off, consigned to their agents at Port Philip and Geelong, as there exists a very great scarcity of silver bullion in the city, and the Bank of England-will not accommodate one person with more than £5OO of silver currency at a time, so great is the demand at present for exportation. FOUR MEN STRUCK WITH LIGHTNING.—On the after noon of Tuesday last, John Blaby, John Brandrick, James Coegins, and George Hickman, workmen in the employ of Sir H. Peyton, Bart., of Swift's-house, Bicester, were, in the farm stable, in which they had taken shelter during a storm, struck by lightning. All were knocked down ; Coggins and Hickman were but slightly injured. Bran drick was shaken, and is suffering from the effects. Blaby is seriously injured, and fears are entertained as to his re covery. The electric fluid struck him on the head, burn ing a hole in, and setting his " shanty," which he had on, on fire, went down his cheek, completely taking off his whisker, to his breast, and down the arm to the elbow, where it burnt a holc in his coat. His face is distorted, he is scorched, and it is feared that the brain and chest are injured by the lightning. A PARTY OF PLEASURE FOR AUSTRALIA.—Among the passengers who went out to Australia in the mail steamer Formosa, which left Southampton on Saturday week, were two gentlemen of that town, who went out in her on plea sure, and intend returning to England immediately. One of the gentlemen took his wife with him ; the other only made up his mind to go in her a day or two before she sailed, and as soon as he did so went and paid his 90 guineas for a first class berth. Fancy men going on a pleasure trip to the antipodes, and getting to the end of their voyage in 10 weeks ! Truly we live in an age of mrr vels. The fact that is just mentioned is of considerable significance, as it shows that people are beginning to think that a voyage to Australia is no very great effort after all. Next year, when the Australiasian and Pacific Company's steamers begin to run between Panama and Sydney, a man with a six months' holiday and £3OO in his pocket may go round the world and live splendidly the whole of the way. If any one had prognosticated such a thing a century ago he would havebeen placed in a madhouse. SUDDEN DEATH OF VICE-CHANCEL LOR -PARKER. We regret to have to announce the death of Sir James Parker. one of the Vice-Chancellors of England. which took place last Friday night, at his country seat. Rothley Temple, Leicestershire. To the public the event was sud den, but we understand that it was not altogether unex pected by his more immediate friends, as his disease had been the source of considerable anxiety to them for some time past. He bad been ailing for about nine months past, and on the first day on which he took his seat as Vice-Chancellor had premonitory symptoms of angina pectoris, of which he has died. He consulted Dr. Wat son in November last, and had also consulted Dr. Latham and Dr. Williams. He was under the care of Dr. Wat son when he left London for Rothley Temple, about a week ago. He had been advised to refrain from exercise, and on reaching Leicestershire placed himself in the hands of Mr. Macaulay, an eminent medical practitioner, of Leicester. Mr. Macaulay saw him the last time alive on Friday morning, when he took a somewhat serious view of his case; and shortly before 12 o'clock on the night of that day his malady returned, for which he had recourse to some other medicine, and his death was almost instantaneous. Lady Parker was with him at the time of the attack which proved fatal, and Mr. Barrow, a surgeon living at Rothley, and Mr. Macaulay were immediately summoned to the Temple, but too late for their services to be of any avail. He was 51 years of age. FOREIGN CATTLE.--The following arrivals of foreign cattle have taken place in one day from the Continental States. The steam-ship Neptnnd, from Tonningen, has brought 246 head of oxen and cows, and 158 sheep ; the Tiger, from Tonningen, 239 head of oxen and cows, andll24 sheep ; the William Penn, from Nieu Diep, 58 head of oxen and cows. 42 calves, and 112 sheep ; the Lion from Harlinien, 162 head of oxen and cows, 38 calves, 577 sheep, 15 lambs, 2 horses, and 350 pigs ; the Giraffe, from Rotterdam, 132 head of horned cattle, 600 sheep, and 296 lambs ; the Ranger, from Bremen, 83 head of oxen and cows ; the Adonis, from Rotterdam, 89 head of oxen and cows, 44 calves, 632 sheep, and 155 lambs ; the Magnet, from Amsterdam, 62 oxen and cows, 1 calf, and 985 sheep ; the Stad Dordrecht, from Dordt, 79 head of horned cattle, 304 sheep, 15 calves. and 107 lambs ; and the Rainbow, from Rotterdam, 149 calves; the whole the produce of Holland, Denmark, and the Hanseatic States. The whole of the above arrivals of foreign cattle took place in the port of Landon alone on Monday last. The returns of the im portation of live stock from abroad during the last week show a great increase on previous supplies of this nature ; but it is believed that the number brought on the first day of the present week, amounting collectively to 1,150 oxen and cows, 4,552 sheep, 573 lambs, 350 pigs, and 289 calves, makir a total of 6,91 4 head of stock. has never been equalled' in extent since the first, introduction of foreign cattle into this country. MR. BARON PLATT AND A WELLSTOWN-COUNCILLOR. —As Mr. Baron Platt was on his way to Wells from Bridgewater on Wednesday evening week, for the purpose of opening the assize commission, the axle of the carriage broke before he had proceeded far from the latter place. Mr. Wm. Fry, a respectable gentleman of Wells, happened to be passing, and seeing the very slow pace the carriage was proceeding at. the following interesting dialogue took place :—Mr. W. Fry : Sir, you are proceeding at a very slow pace.—Baron Platt : Yes ; there's an accident with the carriage. Are you bound for Wells ?—Mr. Fry : Yes, sir.—Baron Platt : Will you take a letter to the sheriff for me ?—Mr. Fry : Yes, or a verbal message ; and, more than that, either of you are welcome to part of my gig, provided you have no luggage.—Baron Platt : You are a good sort of a fellow, and I will accept your kind offer : Tue otny utigptge 1 IlatVG wit, La LLL, - Mr. Fry began to find out to whom he had been discours ing so freely, and apologised for not having used that courtesy which was due to the learned baron.) Baron Platt then accompanied Mr. Fry, discoursing very good humouredly and pleasantly until arriving at Glastonbury, when a carriage and four was ordered to take his lordship to Wells, where the sheriff's cortge had been waiting a considerable time to escort him to the Town-hall. Upon the Town-council waiting as usual upon the Judge at his lodgings to present an address to him, Mr. Fry was recog. nised by the learned Baron and thanked for his kindness. A STRANGE ADVENTURE.. -- Abollt four months ago a young man from Lincoln, named Bealby, took a house and shop in High-street, Boston, and furnished and fitted it up as for a grocer. On Good Friday he married a respec tableOilshy, and brought her to his new or three days, he proposed to his wife home. female After from two Spilsby, that, before they opened shop, they should visit some re lations of his in Scotland. She assented, and he took her to Liverpool. On arriving there he secured a passage for himself and wife for New York, and having sailed, half the voyage was made before the wife discovered the imposi tion. The smallpox, the measles, and the ship fever broke out on board, and the husband was attacked with the first and the wife with the last. On landing at New York, the husband, instead of engaging in any business, lived in idle ness, till all his money was expended. He then deter mined on proceeding to California, but his wife having no faith in him, refused to accompany him, and decided on returning to England. To accomplish this, having no funds, she donned a garb that would ensure her from insult and obtained an engagement as cook's mate on board a vessel bound for Old England. (The cook himself was a man of colour.) She reached her destination without ac cident, in the exclusive possession of her secret, a few days since. Her steps were immediately directed homeward, and the last 57 miles she travelled on foot, doing it in twenty-nine hours, passing through Boston about ten o'clock on Sunday night, in her sailor's attire, and arriv ing at Spilsby, the home of her parents, at two o'clock on Monday mot ning.—Starnford Mercury.

Their names and addresses had been taken in the Refuse Charge-book, teat the magistrates should want to take further proceed: FIVE PERSONS SHOT. On Friday afternoon last a man named David Davies was brought to Worcester county gaol on a charge of murder, he having shot a woman named Pardoe and wounded several others. The prisoner is the landlord of the Seven Stars public-house at Lower Svvinford, in Wor cestershire, and the circumstances under which the mur derous outrage was committed were as follow :—lt appears that on Monday evening last a number of railway labourers from the works of the Oxford, Worcester, and 'Wolver hampton Railway,who had been drinking at the prisoner's house, quarrelled and turned out to fight. On their return to the house they continued to make a great dis turbance, and the consequence was that a crowd of per sons collected in front of the inn. At this period Davies came home, and was much annoyed at the collection of the crowd in front of his house, which consisted for the most part of noisy boys. though there were some men and women among 'them. He endeavoured roughly to disperse them, and struck several with his vralkinc- stick. on which they hooted at him and threw stones. The prisoner im mediately rushed into the house in a vioreut passion. declaring that he " would blow their b— heads off," and went up stairs, followed by his son. The prisoner had two guns, a single and, a double barrel ; these he fetched out, and his son got out the powder and shot. The guns were immediately loaded, and the prisoner went to the bedroom window, and, leaning out, presented the the gun and fired among the crowd in the street, exclaim ' ng, " Here's into ye, ye—," using i a foul expression. Immediately afterwards he exclaimed, " I've given 'em a sweep; and I'll give 'em another," and he immediately fired again. His son assisted him to reload, and altogether four shots were fired and five, people were wounded • one killed on 'the spot. The injured 'Persons were—Killed : Mrs. Pardee, wife of a hallier and mother of six children, one of whom she was looking for when -fired upon. Wounded : William Woolridge, miner, wounded in the neck, and not likely to recover ; Hannah Fletcher, a bricklayer's wife , shot in the legs • James Haywood, also wounded in the legs : and Mrs. lirentale, a middle-aged lady, wife of the manager at the establishment of Mr. F. T. Raiford, wounded in the abdomen, thighs, and legs, while aiding Mrs. Pardee, who had once been a servant in her employ. Mrs. Pardee, on being raised from the ground, was carried into a house, but she appeared to have died instantaneously. The guns, when found in the house, wore both loaded with powder and shot, ready to fire again. The affair has created intense excitement. The son was also committed, but admitted to bail.

THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY has made anothcr,;but again fruitless attempt to obtain from the Autocrat of France the liberty of the Emir who languishes in the pri son of Amboise. Last year, when Louis Napoleon was sur rounded by difficulties which might serve as an excuse, he was all readiness to release Abd-el-Kader, and lavish of courteous and pleasant phrases towards the Noble Mar quess. Now that his will is law, and he has no excuse for delaying the fulfilment of a promise to which we have it under his own hand that the honour of France is pledged, M on Prince" is as deaf as a p ost and as silent as the grave.

The sub-committee of works recommended the acceptance of the following tenders for erecting warehouses on the north quay of the Stanley dock :—Christopher Dogherty, excavating • Wil liam Tomkinson and Sons, mEsonry.&c.; Thomas Pearson and Co., ironwork. The total amount of the tenders was £43,511. The Chairman said the work was to be comple ted in fifteen months. Some rooms at the north station of the Prince's dock, which will shortly be at liberty, were granted for the use of persons connected with emi gration. A letter was read from Messrs. Cole and Holt, of Birkenhead, calling attention to a plan, of which they were the patentees, for clearing the dock basins of mud and silt without the aid of manual labour as at present; the basins could be kept clear more effectually than by the present system, and the expense woald be considerably less. The invention could also be applied to the removal of sand from the river in such a locality as Pluckington bank. A letter was read from Mr. Wm. Laird, manager of the Ince Hall 'Coal Company, stating that the company were willing to become tenants of the land at the north docks on the terms and conditions named. The financial business was then proceeded with. ting was held on LIVERPOOL CHURCH SCHOOLMASTERS' ASSOCIATION. —The annual meeting of this society was held on Satur day last, at the Institution House, Slater-street, Mr. Jno. Bowes, of the Church of England School Society, in the chair. After prayers the chairman called upon Mr. Williams, who read a paper on " The Normans." A dis cussion followed the reading. The secretary, Mr. Snape, was then called upon, who read the annual report, which was adopted and ordered to be printed. The report was of a most encouraging character. Classes have been formed for the study of mathematics and classics. The latter is conducted by the Rev. J. England. Papers have been read on different subjects. The committee hope that future papers will be entirely professional. The library is steadily increasing, and there is a prospect of a great accession of new members. The committee con template the purchase of a superior magic lantern for the use of Church schools. A cricket club is formed, and through the kind permission of the Roscoe Club, they play on their grqund. The election of officers for the ensuing year the ft took place. Mr. A. Boardman, of St. Paul's School, Prince's-park, was unanimously elected of S4l Martin's-in-the-Fields, and librarian, Mr. W. Baker, of St. Luke's School, were re-elected. Votes of thanks were accorded to the committee and officers retiring. The members intend having their annual dinner at the Eastham Hotel on an early day. We anticipate much good to result to Liverpool and the neighbourhood by this asso ciation. Few things can tend more to advance the ele mentary education than such associations. HEALTH Column-reg.—The weekly meeting was held on Thursday. Mr. Langsdale in the chair. The neces sary proceedings were ordered to be taken in reference to the hospital being erected by the West Derby Board of, Guardins, in West Derby-road. The medical officer re ported that during the last fortnight the mortality of the borough has been considerably raised by the prevalence of the bowel complaint ; the mortality from which is usually proportioned to the heat of the season. Thirty per cent. of the entire mortality was caused by bowel complaints, the deaths from which were 86, a larger num ber than in any previous week (excluding the cholera period) since the summer of 1846, which was also un usually hot. During the last five weeks the deaths from bowel complaints have been respectively 13, 39, 49, 69, 86. The mortality from this cause usually reaches its maximum in the second week of August. From other diseases of the zymotic class the deaths were 58, of which there were from fever, 15 ; measles. 14 ; scarlatina, 14 ; small pox (unvaccinated) 1 ; erysipelas, 2. Diseases of the lungs, including consumption. caused 48 deaths. A brewer's drayman, aged 28, died from delirium tremens. Of the total deaths, 213 were children, and 73 adults. Of the 86 who died of bowel complaints, only 6 were adults. The engineer was instructed to obtain tenders for the construction of a sewer in the continuation of Regent road. A report was read from the Town-clerk, stating that the long-pending dispute between the Health and Dock Committee, as to the levels of the proposed new docks at Wapping, had been settled in favour of the Health Committee. The case had been brought before Vice chancellor Parker, at Leicester, and an injunction ob tained restraining the dock trustees from constructing the new streets on any other level than that submitted by the borough engineer, approved by the committee, and sanc tioned by the Council. The Committee then adjourned. IMPORTANT EMIGRATION CASE.—On Tuesday, a very important case, which had been twice previously before the magistrates, was decided. An emigrant named M'Turk, who had shipped for Australia, applied fora re turn of his passage money, and compensation, under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that the ship City . of Lincoln was bought by Mr. Johnson from a person named Stock, for the purpose of conveyinz emigrants from this port to Australia ; that Johnson paid over the greater portion of the purchase-money, leaving a balance of about £1,600. The charterer immediately took steps for the purpose of obtaining passengers, issuing bills, and advertising the City of Lincoln as a noble ship, of first rate sailing qualities. By the end of June a good number of berths were taken, and placards were issued stating the time when she would sail. The balance of the purchase money had not, however, yet been paid, and Mr. Stock declined to give up the register. The vessel, in conse quence of this, was unable to.clear out, and the emigrants were kept in the river day after day, until fifteen days had elapsed since the time of her being advertised to take her departure. There still appearing no likelihood of her sail ing (indeed she was not fitted with sails), the case had been brought to an issue by a summons being taken out against the charterer, for the purpose of endeavouring to compell him to return the passage-money, and to make suitable compensation. After a lengthy hearing of the case, judgment was given for the plaintiff—that he recover his passage money (£l5) and £3 for compensation. The money was ordered to be paid immediately,--a month's imprisonment in default. The case of M'Turk, it was understood, ruled that of all the other passengers, 260 in number, both penalty and default being accumulative. The ship was brought to the hammer on Friday by Mr. Curry, of the firm of Tonge, Curry, and Co., brokers, at their sale-room, Derby-buildings. Fenwick-street. After explaining that the vessel was being sold in order that the contract with the unfortunate emigrants might be carried out, and that the purchaser would have the responsibility of fulfilling the contract, it was submitted for compe tition, and £l,OOO was at once offered. After a little languid competition she was knocked down for £1,555, being £5 over the reserved bid, to Mr. Bates, who stated that he had " purchased the ship for the sake of the emi grants." At the conclusion of the proceedings Mr. Curry assured the passengers that they were most fortu nate in falling into such hands ; it was a guarantee for the engagement with them being carried out to their utmost satisfaction. FOUR MEN KILLED BY LIGHTNING IN MANCHESTER. —A terrific storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied with heavy showers of rain and hail, occurred between ten and eleven o'clock on Tuesday morn in g in the neighbour hood of Manchester, and we have to record the death of four persons and the injury of three oth ers resulting from it. The scene of this fatality was a row of houses, the building of which is not yet completed, called Albert terrace, situate in Ridgway-street, near Bradford-road, Manchester. The storm commenced about twenty minutes after ten, and about• five minutes afterwards the lightning struck the chimney at one of the gable ends, whence it appears to have passed along the front of the roof by a leaden gutter, streams of the electric fluid pass ing into several of the houses as it progressed. There are eight houses in the row, and at the first house, the chimney of which was struck first, two of the pots were displaced, but not broken. The lightning tligai went through the ceiling of the first bedroom, along Masi went it passed, tearing off the plaster, ilito the back bedroom. The windows of none of the houses were glazed. The framework of the back bedroom window in the first house was next caught by the lightning, and was much torn and displaced. The qERAL SIR T.

The area of water accommodation will be upwards of 90 acres, together with a mile of wharfage room. THE ASTRONOMER ROYAL has given the name of Melpomene to the new planet discovered by Mr. Hind on the 24th June. This planet is one of the nearest to us of the group between Mars and Jupiter, the period of 1269 days, which places it between Flora revolution being and Victoria DAMAGES FOR THE Loss OF A HussA's:D.—At the Edinburgh Jury Court, last week, Mrs. Janet Donald, or Eadie, obtained a verdict of £lOO for herself, and of £2OO for her children, as compensation for the death of her hus band, who had been killed in the pit of the Barton's Hill Coal Company, at Dykehead, owing to its unsafe condition.

The accused was a sur geon who attended the deceased in her confinement, and was charged with mistreatment or neglect. After a trial of twelve hours, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. THE GALE.-0a Thursday most disastrous accounts were received in London from the several coast-guard sta tions on the south and west coasts. The gale is described as fearful, and such as has not been experienced in the channel for many years, with a most tremendous sea. Numerous casualties have occurred, and several lives have been lost. The accounts from other places - on the coast are equally disastrous. A HINT TO CREDITORS IN GENERAL.—A new way to obtain the payment of old debts has been discovered by a shoeniaker in the midland counties. Having to deal with a debtor as difficult as the Jew in Ivanhoe, Crispin ex posed the bill in his window, simply omitting the debtor's name, but appending a notice that if the money was not forthcoming by a fixed day, the name would be filled in. The ruse succeeded. REMARKABLE METEOR AT ABERDEEN.—About half past four o'clock on Friday morning a very brilliant me teor was seen descending from the zenith slowly to the north. it was in size about half the apparent magnitude of the moon, of a bright white in the centre, and purplish blue towards the side. It was visible about twenty seconds. and burst into fragments like a rocket on approaching the horizon.—Aberdeen Herald, ESCAPE OF FOUR CONVICTS.—Three of the convicts on board the hospital ship for convicts at Woolwich jumped overboard on Tuesday night, and swam on shore at Hog-lane, where one of them was apprehended at the time he came on shore, and another a short time after. Tha othar convict manaped to vet clear away and hag not since been retaken. A. convict also escdped Irom the Royal Arsenal, but he was soon recaptured. DISCOVERY OF STOLEN "PLATE.—The water having been let out at Engine-bridge, near Head-weir, Exeter, a number of boys were engaged, on Wednesday, searching for fish in the leat, when one of them found a quantity of silver plate, supposed to be a portion of that stolen some months since at Knowstone Church, and for which Elias Harris was sentenced to transportation for ten years st the March assizes of the present year. WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHlP.—Twenty emigrants met a watery grave off the shores of Cape Gaspe, while on a passage to Quebec, on the 22nd of July. The ship, the Trusty, of Scarborough, in a fot ran on a rock. In spite of the captain's orders, 20 of the 200 emigrants got into a boat, which was immediately swamped. The other emi grants were assisted by two ships, who conveyed them from their perilous situation after eight hours' suffering. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE FROM LIGHTNING.—During the heavy storms of thunder and lightning, accompanied with rain and hail, which swept over the locality of Colchester and neighbourhood on Tuesday last, the extensive farm premises in the occupation of Mr. Saml. Bloomfield Blyth, of Langham, were struck by the electric fluid, and totally consumed in a very short space of time. We understand that the loss of property is estimated at .£2.000. - - BETTING- OFFICES.—A correspondent of the Times says :—" I was passing a low betting-office near the Mid dlesex Hospital on Thursday night, and observed (what I have not before remarked);women frequenting the place. If our maid-servants take to the vice of gambling, which these dens afford a facility for, what a prospect of domestic bliss we shall have. Especially the more lucky folks who are going out of town, and must leave their homes to the care of their servants." SPARROW, who was tried last spring for the Frome murder, but afterwards convicted of burglaries and sen tenced to 25 years transportation, and Bird, another burglar, broke out of Wells gaol on Monday night. Tbey were :heavily ironed, but they contrived to make a hole through the wall with part of a pair of tongs which they had broken from a pair chained to the fire-place of the cell in which they were confined. The fellows were re captured next day. HINT FOR TOURISTS.—On the night of Sunday se'n night, about ten o'clock, a gentleman staying at the Castle Inn, Wigmore, Herefordshire, retired to rest. As he was undressing a shilling accidentally dropped out of his waist coat pocket, and rolled under the bed. He lifted the valance to look for it, when, to his surprise,•he found there concealed an Irishwoman. He drew her from her hiding place, and she was taken on the following morning before Colonel Colvin, and sentenced to one month's imprison ment under the Vagrant Ad.—Hereford Journal. THE Acnii.Li ro:NEWMAN CASE.—A correspondent of the Daily News says that a circular letter from Cardinal Wiseman was read on Sunday week at all the Roman Catholic chapels in London, requesting the congregations to contribute towards the expenses of the late trial. The means to be used for carrying out this object are left to the discretion of the priests, and in most places a collection was to be made after each of the services of Sunday last. The letter states that Dr. Newman's expenses amount to £7,500, and that of this £2,500 has been already collected. A TEAM OF HORSES STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.—OR the 10th inst., when ploughing on the farm of Mr. Thos. Jones, of Singleborough, Bucks, a team of three ,horses were by the electric fluid struck to the ground, where they laid as if dead for some time. Their mouths were cold, and they were motionless. Samuel Ridgway, the ploughman, was also knocked down, but was not seriously injured. William Harrup, the driver, escaped. On the horses somewhat recovering and endeavouring to get up they fell down several times. It was some time before they could walk home. THE SWORD TURNED INTO ,THE SICKLE.—SO great is the scarcity of hands in West Sussex, owing to emigration and other causes, that the farmers, unable to procure the means of housing their crops, have applied to the com manding-officer of the Scots Fusilier Guards, who, on condition that his men did not compete with agricultural labourers, but only supplied their places where vacant, consented to allow his men to wield the sickle in place of the sword. Two of the farmers of Bosham, Mr. Edward Wyatt and Mr. Holloway, engaged a score each of the Fusilier Guards, and, with their assistance, have com pleted the in-gathering of the sheaves and stacked them for winter thrashing. The harvest southward of the South Downs is always the earliest in the kingdom. THE AMERICAN FISHERIES DispirrE. The Leeds Chamber of Commerce held a special general meeting on Saturday, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present state of our relations with the United States of America; the meeting was attended by some of the lead. ing merchants of the borough. The general feeling, in the first instance, appeared to be that the Chamber should memorialize Her Majesty's Government, expressing deep concern at the menacing aspect of the question, and the danger to peace likely to spring from the disputed fisher ies ; and praying that every means may be used to bring about amicable relations, and to prevent a collision be tween the vessels of war of the two countries. Some of the American merchants present, however, expressed an opinion that the state of affairs was really far less mena. cing than was generally supposed ; and one of these gentle ' men said that his private correspondence satisfied him that there was no real danger to peace, the great outcry made having been originated in the United States for political. purposes. In order to enable the Chamber to possess it self of the advices by the following day's American steam er, the meeting was adjourned to Thursday next, the se cretary being, in the meantime, instructed to:communicate with the Chambers of Commerce of Manchester, Liver• pool, Bradford, Hull, Glasgow, &c. ere dangers cautiously )intment of a r AIRMAN tb OUg uties, he being then on the cc to return soon.

Hecomplained of the shortness of the notice, and said that the lodge had ghne to great expense in providing flags and other regalia, and asked if the magistrates had the power to stop it. They told him they had, and that it would be stopped. He left them and returned soon afterwards, and said the procession com mittee was then sitting at the " Wheat Sheaf," Scotland road. They accompanied him there, and one of the com mittee told him they were determined to walk. Witness and Superintendent Quick went to several of the places where Orange lodges were held, and they were told by a number of the officers of the lodges that they were averse to the procession, and were anxious to have it stopped, but that the resolutions had been passed in the district lodges, and they could not overrule them. By Mr. SNOWBALL.—SeveraI of the Orangemen said their impression was that the magistrates had no power to stop the procession. One of them said " they were being treated like a parcel of rebels." Remembered Captain Greig telling them that he had read their regulations, and that a fundamental rule of their order was that they would render assistance and obedience to the civil powers. He believed that Neville said something to the effect that " Captain Greig had left one word out, if the magistrates were acting orderly." He believed this was the first pro cession which the magistrates had endeavoured to sup press by issuing a proclamation. Mr. Superintendent Quick deposed to dispersing a body of Orangemen in Toxteth-park and Ranelagh-street, as they were proceeding in the direction of London-road. By Mr. SNOWBALL.—I have known Orangemen to be attacked with stones and missiles. By Mr. MANSFIELD.—But never with fire-arms. By Mr. SNOV BALL.—A person going through Scot land-road or Marybone with an orange scarf on would probably be attacked. Edward Ball, in the employ of Mr. Davis, draper, London-road, deposed that the shopkeepers had been obliged to close their shops, because they were appre hensive of a disturbance. By Mr. SNOWBALL.---I was not afraid of the Orange men. Henry Birch, serjeant of police, deposed to apprehend ing James Hampton, and to finding in his possession a pistol loaded with two b ullets, and having a percussion cap on the nipple. He also had a life-preserver. This concluded the case for the prosecution, and Mr. SNOWBALL proceeded to address the bench in be half of the prisoners. After having eulogised the magis trates and police for the measures they had adopted in suppressing a procession, which, he admitted, might have ended in a case of more serious consequences I o some of the prisoners, he urged that in this instance the peace had not been broken, the men having quietly dispersed when requested by the police, and expressed an opinion that the law would be sufficiently vindicated if they were dis charged on entering into their recognizances to keep the peace in future. Mr. MANSFIELD was sorry that he could not adopt the course which Mr. Snowball had suggested, although in dividually he had no greater wish than to do so. It was a matter of sincere pain and regret to the magistrates that so large a number of respectable persons should put them selves within the reach of the law by their determination to have these processions, which were certainly very apt to produce dangerous results ; and, if they were per mitted, they would still 'continue to do so. Year after year they had been held, causing loss of life, limb, and property, and now they must be put down. No doubt the counsel who would be employed to defend the pri soners at the trial would state what Mr. Snowball had ' advanced in their favour, and that it would have weight with the Lord Chief Justice. For himself, he thought matters had arrived at such a pass that it was necessary the people of Liverpool should learn from the highest legal authority the extreme impropriety of these proces sions. The prisoners must, therefore, be committed for ' trial at the present assizes. ' Mr. SNOWBALL hoped the court would make exceptions in the cases of those men who had RO aims in their pos session when apprehended. Mr. MANSFIELD declined to make any exception what ever. He observed, however, that all the prisoners would be admitted to bail on entering into their own recogni zances of 40s. each, and finding two sureties of 20s. each ; and suggested the importance of their bail being procured as soon as possible, to prevent the necessity of their being sent among prisoners by whom they probably might be contaminated. a warrant Ila Tama, give him greater •gyman ; but he did ;t of debateab aght to maintain y abjured the MONEY ORDERS.—GENERAL POST.

Rev. R. Wall, of A. Hopkins, of the " archdiocese" of Tuam. In reference to the above, the John Bull says :—" It will be seen that two of the Popish Priests in Ireland who recently abjured the errors of Romanism have epos taezed back to the Church of Rome. Is this a genuine case of " the dog returning to his own vomit again," or was the conversion a sham from the first, having for its object to qualify them for " bearing witness of the iniquity of the proselytizing system," and making an edifying display of penitence for " the scandal of their apostacy ?" There is no deception which the Jesuits will not practice to compass their ends. A singular proof of the extent to which they will carry the device of wearing a mask would be the fact, if true, which has been stated on the authority of an Irish clergyman, that Dr. Newman was, before his entering at Oxford, an eleve of the Propa ganda. It would be curious indeed if it turned out, after all, that the author of Tract XC. never was anything but a Papist ; and that Dr. Pusey, and those who with him have walked in that slippery way, have all along been simply the dupes and tools of a crafty Jesuit. Dr. New man's own statement that he spoke hard things of the Church of Rome " while his position required it," would in that case be perfectly intelligible." EXTRAORDINAY CHARGE NOBLEMAN. AGAINST A On Friday Lord Frankfort appeared before Mr. Henry, at Bow-street, London. on a summons obtained by Lord Henry Lennox, to whom the noble defendant had sent letters of an immoral nature, as will appear from the case and evidence. Mr. Humphries, for the prosecution, said that he would be able to show that the defendant had several letters of the above-mentioned Henry Lennox, several noblemen, clef character to Lord ;omen, and ladies; in which letters, however, the names used were those of Mr. Wilmer Harris, of Sutton Lodge, Hackney, and 12, Moorgate-street, City, and Mr. M'Beath, of 3, Vigo street, Regent-street, one of which was as follows : " Mr. Macbeath presents his duty to the peeresses and the daughters of the nobility and gentry, and informs them that he continues to arrange assignations with the most perfect impunity and safety. Having been trained by Mr. Harris, he now acts directly under President and Director General of Assignations, Phipps. . _ " Mr. M. beds to call the attention of the ladies to his long-established mode of transacting business. He him self waits upon them at dusk, sending up his card in a tissue envelope; always seeing the parties himself, and arranging perionally with them for the reception of the Lothario of the evening, at one o'clock at night ; when he is enabled by his peculiar system to keep the husband insensibly asleep, while the parties are engaged in the drawn[-room " P.S.—He guarantees to married women husband's fortune, or more, if they are found out will put him in the Ecclesiastical Courts, which are an ap pendage of his establishment. To spinsters he promises husbands, whom he puts in mad-houses, and gets all the fortune for the wives. His predecessor broke one ba ronet's neck, for his wife's sake ; and having got rid of another, is now endeavouring to destroy his will. Those ladies who will turn up with the parties sent may be sa tisfied they will be looked at ;' but those who refuse to do so will not be looked at all." alf their The Rev. IT. M`Kenzie and Lord Henry Lennox proved that they had received similar letters. Thornton, a ser jeant of the detective force, stated that he had detected Lord Frankfort's servant on the 22d July in the act of putting letters, one of which was read, and was of a simi lar character to that mentioned above, into the post, when he took her into custody. It further appeared from the evidence of Inspector Field that the woman was in the habit of posting letters for his Lordship, and on hi s ac companying her to his Lordship's house in Buckingham street, Strand, his Lordship, being in formed by her that the police were at the door , deni ed to them that she was his servant, but said she was onl y his charwoman, and de m cl e a t re h d im th b at y ;hey had committed remainingoilnesil‘d,nem.
