DISASTER AT SEA.—SEVEN LIVES LOST.—The brig William Rushton, from Laguna to Liverpool, was in col lision with the steamer Minerva, from Liverpool for Kingstown, about one a.m. on Tuesday morning, between Puffin Island and Point Lynas. The brig sunk in about fifteen minutes. The master, cook, and two seamen saved : seven hands lost. The following are the par ticulars:—On Monday evening the Minerva, commanded by Captain John Henry Hall, and having on board a complement of upwards of twenty cabin passengers, four of whom were ladies, left Liverpool for Kingstown. During the whole of the night it was blowing a hard gale from W.N.W., and on Tuesday morning about one o'clock, when the Minerva was making her way between Puffin Island and Port Limas, a sail was descried bearing close down upon her. The vessel proved to be the Wil liam Rushton, from the coast of Mexico, heavily laden with logwood. The brig showed no lights, so that she was not seen by the Minerva until she was close upon her. Immediately upon seeing the brig, and it being evident that a collision was inevitable unless one vessel changed her course, the engines of the packet were re versed with all expedition, and everything practicable done to avoid the threatened calamity. However, all proved unavailing; in a few moments the bowsprit of the steamer came in contact with the brig, striking her about midships. Captain Hall, seeing it was evident the brig would sink, ordered the life-boat of the Minerva to be lowered, and this proved effectual in saving the lives of the captain, the cook, and two seamen, belonging to the brig. In about ten minutes after this the brig sunk in deep water, with the remaining seven of the crew on board. On examining his vessel, Captain Hall found that her fore compartment was so stove in by the colli sion as to be completely filled with water. He therefore ran her into Beauinaris, where he landed his To no singer, to no actor, to no poet, has it been ac corded to attract, along with the admiration and love of those who have enjoyed their genius, so much of the love of the less fortunate many, who have not been afforded such opportunities. It is too common a trait of rude human nature to begrudge to excellence of every kind, and especially to foreign excellence, its large reward. But no feeling of this kind has ever been evinced in this town, and, we may add, in this country, towards the fair Swede. Not one of the thousands who assembled to greet her in her progresses during her stay here were actuated, we feel confident, by any other motive than a wish to pay tribute to goodness, to purity of mind, and abounding benevo lence. Jenny Lind is not regarded as the sordid huckster of the telent which God has given her. We hear of her receipt of thousands ; and we feel only that they are be ing consigned to hands ready to pour them into the laps of the unfortunate, or to devote them to those higher ob jects, which she regards above all things. And, if mere personal pride could enter into her heart, she might well have been proud of the evidence, afforded by all classes, of the existence of this feeling during her late short stay amongst us. It was to gaze upon no great conqueror that thousands were ready to crowd our piers onWednes day last, and to waft the vessel containing such a freight with their blessings over the wide Atlantic. It was a dif ferent object, and a higher, a nobler feeling. It was to express admiration and love for a sister mortal who, so far as human nature will allow us, has used her preeminent powers as if she regarded them rather as a trust from her Maker than for her own aggrandisement. Beautiful was the acknowledgment made by her during her preceding visit, to one who was congratulating her upon her great Powers, that as God had given her those great powers, he had also imposed upon her great responsil use to which she should put them. shores, we doubt not, with this feeling impressed upon her heart ; and most sincerely we pray that the hapeie bilities, as to the She has left our which its exercise is calculated to impart may dwell with her in the land to which she has gone. We may here, before chroni specting Jenny Lind's visit to our to ture, express our thanks to the comm I - ng a few anecdotes re- n and her d of the Phil harmonic Society for their excellent arrangements on this occasion, and at the same time notice the wretched taste in which this body has been assailed, and indeed traduced, isengers the major part of whom went by railway from Bangiir to Holyhead, and thence by the steamer to Kingstown.

It had been reported in the various newspapers that the amount had been upwards of £3o,ooo.—After some con versation, tho motion was agreed to.—The proceedings of the Workhouse Committee recommended the appoint ment of Miss Caslow as schoolmistress of the girls' school, and that the recommendation of Watson, a pauper pupil, be confirmed.—The proceedings of the Industrial Schools Committee being read, Mr. Denton inquired when the committee intended to reduce the number, as he had every reason to believe that a great many had no right to be there.—Mr. Harbord stated that, whilst dis cussing the matter in the Council-chamber, he stated that while there were 660 children in the schools, there Dover : According to the statements made in the report, these children cost £l5 a year each ; and we make the man who earns 20s. a week pay taxes; in order to make up the deficiency, owing to such taxes, he sends his children to these schools. He considered they were too attractive; the scholars resembled too much a regiment of soldiers. He certainly considered the mode of educa tion was not such as ought to be pursued ; for, on a re cent occasion, when he had to visit these schools, he found a large board placed up for the attention of the children, which bore the words, " To conjugate the neuter verb 'to be.' " (Laughter.) It might be a sub ject of laughter, but he had brought it forward to show that it was not the mode in which pauper children ought to be educated.—The proceedings were then confirmed. — The proceedings of the Medical Relief Committee com prised the recommendation of the salary of medical officers to be £l4O per annum, and the reduction of the districts from thirteen to twelve, which were confirmed, subject to the approval of the Poor-law Commissioners, in reference to the fixed salaries.—Mr. Willmer moved the confirmation of the proceedings of the cottage-rating committee, and that Mr. Hand be appointed a member of the committee.

The tea kettle and candlesticks were both confided by Mad'lle Lindlto Mr. Bald, the gwedisch Consul; who will take . care of them until her rearm Mitt:um her walk through the hospital a very pretty incident &marred; it being indi. cated to Mademoiselle Lind that a naval captain, a countryman of her own, was lying sink in one of the wards, she sought him ont, converserl with him for a length of time, and gave hint a bunch of grapes ; whether Mademoiselle Lind concealed anything else in that bunch of grapes she took care should not be known to the curious. Lacking confidence in her English, Mad'lle Lind requested Mr. Bald to write the usual entry of visitors on leaving the hospital. Mr. Bald wrote, " I have this day visited the hospital, and am much gratified' with its arrangements," to which, previous to signing her name, Mademoiselle Lind added, " And would be very happy could I at any future time be once more useful to this beautiful institution"—which was not only very ex cellent English, but indicated a sincerity of goodwill towards the Southern and Toxteth Hospital' of which the supporters of that institution have reasontor be proud.. No other artist has done so much for the cause of cha rity, —no other has displayed such constant and lavish generosity. We hear, from the best authority, that not withstanding the enormous sums of money she has earned by her exertions during the last six years, Jenny Lind has only appropriated £L2OO a-year to her own use, with which amount she expresses herself amply satisfied. It may be answered that £1,200 a-year is a splendid income. Granted ; but in one who might easily, and with the strictest propriety, have insured herself as many thou sands, it will not be denied that so large a sacrifice to the good of others, betokens an absence of self-love which can hardly be too greatly admired. In this respect Jenny Lind is a phenomenon. Her singular liberality has been associated with her great accomplishments as a singer; her moral and artistic qualities have lent an equal lustre to her name, and by the great crowd have been naturally fused or confounded. Viewed in this light, the honours that have been lavished upon her, both in Germany and England, are less to be wondered at,—viewed in this light, her farewell to Liverpool, attended with much the same pomp and ceremony that would have celebrated the departure of a crowned head, will appear less incredible and preposterous. A short time ago Sheriff Watson, of Aberdeen, wrote an admirable little pamphlet entitled " Can Juvenile Delin quency be Prevented ? or, a Day's Experience among the Ragged Schools of Liverpool," the profits of which were to be appropriated to the establishment of an industrial school for girls at the institution in Soho-street, where a boys' ragged school on this principle had already been conducted with success for eighteen months. A copy of this pamphlet was in the hands of the amiable lady of John Bald, Esq., Swedish consul in this town, who, on perusal, became much interested in its object, and took an early opportunity, during the recent visit of Jenny -001, to introduce the subject of the ragged schools to her notice, strongly recommending them to her generous sympathy. The benevolent songstress expressed her warmest approval of their object, and on the day previous to her departure for America presented to her friend £lOO for the benefit of the Soho-street institution. It is to be hoped that the noble example set by a foreigner, uncon- fleeted with this town, may kindle an interest in the of many towards the furtherance of the success of so noble an institution. On Wednesday morning this charming songstress took her departure, from shores where she is so much beloved, on boird the Atlantic, steam-ship, for the United btates. It was known that the Atlantic would sail at a compare lively early hour, as it was announced that the passengers nine o'clock. Long before this hour the landing-stage, the Prince's-pier, and the immediate neighbourhood, were besieged by an immense number of spectators, who were anxious to have a last glance at the charming cantatrice before her embarkation, but a special steamer was placed at her disposal, and she left the landing-stage along with Mr. Benedict, Signor Belletti, and the rest of the party who are accompanying her on her voyage, as early as eight o'clock. At haft-past ten o'clock tne man- nom was seen approaching the Atlantic; and, after official business had been transacted, conveyed the friends of Mademoi- selle bind back again to snore. Ally the smoke that issued from the sides of the vessel glit tering in the sunlight, now announcgd that the Atlantic was about to start in right good earnest. The mighty steamer moved down the river at a stately pace, and a , one after another, it neared the various boats that in its vicinity, successive peals of cheers were ht. shed the neighbourhood of George's Pk oout which the body of the vast mob on dry land and the the guns of the Atlantic, firing double salutes, answered at intervals from shore on either side of the bay, the loud and continued cheers that rose from land and g in 1111 its ;he volumes of smoke curling up the sides of the teamer in revolving columns, until at times it seemed lo: docks, with their army of ships of ever to particularize, combined in producing a scene which for grandeur, variety, and animation, we have never beheld surpassed.

For several years it has been the practice for two super.. intendents of police, one from the north end, and the other from the south, in addition to the in-door superin tendent, Mr. Clough, toattend in the Police-court during the transaction of business before the magistrates. On Saturday an order was issued that the services of the superintendents in the court should be dispensed. with, and the whole of their business placed, as forracriY, under the direction of Mr, Clough, who so admirably discharges those duties. Rgrintituraf anti . 31?orttruitttral. Recurring again to the subject of winter decoration- in conservatories, we desire to call the attention of our readers to the cultivation, of a series of plants which have not yet reached the maximum of popular appre ciation. We allude to scarlet geraniums, or pelargo niums, which are now such favourite flowers for the summer flower garden. Nothing is more missed than their warm tone of colour amongst the colder colours-of the winter flowers. Even the crimson camellias lack warmth. The colour is dull and heavy, meeting with no relief from the dark foliage. Most other conservatory flowers in winter are either white, pink, or pale yellow. Some few are blue, but all the colours are cold in tone. Now we are persuaded that the scarlet geranium may he made to flower in the winter, if not so well, at least sufficiently well to repay a considerable portion of trouble. We are led to this subject by accidentally meeting with a memorandum we made two years since upon the treatment of a scarlet pelargonium of the variety called Tom Thumb,_ which had been planted in a vase, but from some cause or other was neglected. The season was dry, the plant became parched and sickly, but when the autumn came, rain was more plentiful ; the plant recovered and put forth an abundance of its handsome bright-green foliage, but still no flowers. The time came, and the plants belonging to the conser vatory were being removed to their winter gardens. The General Tom Thumb, in his vase, lookcd so v that the owner thought it a pity to leave it out, and if was taken in, vase and all, as it stood. With the increase of warmth under the glass, flower-buds began to show ; a little liquid manure was applied, they increased, and in January they were abumlant and brilliant. These facts A they may be viewed as hints or indications which may lead to the right method of making these beautiful flowers expand freely at a season when their blossoms would be particularly valuable.

Disappointed as they were that circumstances deprived them of her assistance at the opening of the hall, they feel much gratified that it has at length been graced by her presence ; and they cannot but think that it will be an agreeable reminiscence to Mad'lle Lind, while floating on the Atlantic, to reflect that her last notes in Europe v ball admitted to be as yet unequalled in its aty, its capacity unique in its composition and disinterested in its objects—a society composed solely of lovers of music, who have incurred much pecuniary sacrifice and considerable future responsibi lity, without the least idea of profit, but with the sole desire of promoting their favourite science. and cultivating the highest - , class of musical composition. - " The committee, with their best thanks to Mad'lle Lind for her kindness on the present occasion, beg to assure her that they feel the warmest interest in her progress in America, Which they are certain will be as triumphant as it has been in every country she has as yet visited; anti they take their leave of her with the hope that, as they have had the pain of her departure, so she will give them the pleasure of being the first to weic land—a country where she is s y honoured and esteemed 66 JOHN HAYWARD TURNER.

Jenny Lind's dress on Monday evening, which was remarkable for its simplicity, consisted of a white silk slip, r. I covered with figured silk blonde. The berths was made .01 quilled blonde, edged with fine lace, the front being orna- mented with gold studs. In her hair she wore a few whit( roses, and on her arms black velvet bracelets, edged witl: gold lace. Her whole attire was remarkably neat ane tasteful. It will be recollected that, in January of last year, the Swedish Nightingale gave her gratuitous services at a concert in aid of the funds of the Southern and Toxteth Hospital, which were then in a very crippled condition, and that the sum of £I3CO was realised. So pleased were the committee with the generous conduct of Mad'lle Lind, that they resolved upon presenting her with a silver tea-kettle, which the committee were desirous of giving to Jenny Lind within the walls of the institution, and she, readily accepted an invitation to visit the hospital on 'I ues day. Jenny Lind arrived at the hospital a little after eleven o'clock, accompanied by Joseph Brooks Yates, president' of the institution, Mrs. Schwabe, Mrs. S. Thompson, Mr. Bald, (Swedish consul at this port,) and his lady. There were a number of ladies and gentlemen present in the ball, to whom Madd'lle Lind WB3 first con ducted. The testimonial occupied a position in the cen tre of a table in the large unoccupied ward, and when the company entered they took their places round the table. Mr. Yates directed the attention of Jenny Lind to the present, but she became so evidently affected that she was immediately led from the room. The style of the silver tea-kettle, the offering of the Southern and Toxteth Hos pital, is Etruscan. The handle is supported by masks. The body is adorned by a medallion, in basso relieve, representing Esculapius, the god of medicine, presenting the Muse of Song to the Genius of Liverpool. On the opposite side is a suitable inscription. At the angles of the base, a votive tripod, are the statuettes of Charity, Hope, and Faith, and in the centre an antique lamp. On the laurel leaves connecting the horns of the altar are three groups : the first represents some sailors bearing a comrade to the hospital, who has been accidentally injured at the railway cutting, which is shown in the background. The second shows a surgeon attending a Lascar, who has fallen from the rigging of an adjacent ship, while a sailor is bringing up water from the dock, which indicates ,that the hospital is.open to foreign nations. The third group discovers a man leaving the hospital, where he is supposed to have been cured of an accident, in company with his wife and children.

Thus an overweight is obtained in each sack of merchandise weighed, and thus, when the grain is thrown into bulk, the dishonest warehouseman is enabled to abstract, by calculation, a given number of sacks, leav ing the merchant to whom it was warehoused his full weight of commodity, but, of course, robbing the shipper to the amount abstracted. During the week two ware housemen, in the service of Covas and Co., were brought before the magistrates for this dishonest practice, and also a man named Blackburne, who keeps a warehouse in Frederick-street, which, it has transpired, has been a de pot for merchandise obtained by this and other dishonest methods. SENDING A THREATENING LETTER.—A young man (a Scotchman), who gave the name of William Gregg, was placed in the dock, charged with sending a letter to Mrs. Stebbing, owner of the Royal Amphitheatre, stating that, if she did not send him 5..5, he would burn the theatre to the ground. Mrs. Stebbing immediately handed the letter over to the head-constable, who depu ted Bates, one of the most active of the detective force, to find out the writer. Bates sent a blank sheet of paper in an envelope by the post to the following address, which was in the prisoner's note to Mrs. Stebbing : Nathaniel Jackson, at Mrs. Cook's, 11, Copperas-hill. Bates then watched the house, and saw the postman de liver the letter. Shortly after that a boy received the letter from Mrs. Crook, and went up Copperas-hill. He followed the boy, and saw him give the letter to the prisoner, upon which he took him into custody. The letter was found in one of his pockets. A groom of Mr. Copeland's, the present lessee of the Amphitheatre, stated that he knew the prisoner. He had been in.the employment of Mr. Pablo Fanque, but was at present unemployed. He lived at Mrs. Kehoe's, Bolton-street, and was often allowed behind the scenes at the theatre. Mr. Rushton remanded him for seven days. COMMITTAL FOR BIGAMY.—On Thursday, Margaret Leech was charged with having intermarried with George Armstrong, her former husband being still living. Mr. Parsonage, clerk of St. John's Church, stated that he was present on the 10th of August, 1849, when the prisoner, who , represented herself aka widow, was married to Geo. .ethe quality of the cutti of the youn taken in Jaiivary ; but the acacias and similar plants are best propagated by cuttings of young wood in a state of and is iting much attention We shall t e an earl OPERATIONS FOR THE WEER Plant Department.—Cuttings of geraniums, verbenas, and other bedding-out plants should stow be struck ih abundance, or at least as many as can be comfortably flower earlier in the summer, and, although a little extra labour is required during the winter, a less number will suffice to cover a given space. Insects of every description ought to be thoroughly subdued, and this is a very proper time to commence a thorough exami nation. Any of the varieties of scale, if suffered to har bour now, will multiply exceedingly, as the plants become less able to repell their attacks, and the more crowded state of the house allows their depredations to proceed less observed. Our weapons of warfare consist of tobacco water, sulphur, lime, hard soap, and water. By repeated applications of tobacco-water we have exterminated all sorts of scale, without injury to any plant. Sulphur is the best remedy for red spider. Lime-water becomes in dispensable, in expelling earth worms from flower pots and orange trees. Camellias, chrysanthemums, &c. almost sure at this season to require itsassistance. Creepers, either in pots or trained up the rafters of a house, ought to receive constant attention ; in the latter case they ought not to be allowed to ramble at will,—darkening the house and occupying space to the injury of other plants, still a cite regard must be had to the natural habits of the plant, and stiff farmality avoided. Roses for spring flowering may either now or in the course of another week (their fitness for the purpose varying very much in different localities,) be lifted and potted ; the points of their shoots shortened, they will form freSh feeders before the winter sets in. But this method, although answering a purpose, is not what we would desire to recommend.

The codicil which was the subject of the present charge, was dated the 3rd of June, 1850; and on that day Mr. A scro f t , an attorney, and Mr. Ambler, an attorney's c l er k , were at L i s b on M l b a e c r e e . n . tw w ha i e l r l w d . s codicilll ic f t hl ; ae e dp ( Bp!rsaoci produced, ec u e r td s h, t e ) a was dneda ft rh t o h om e f n ii‘t p is rise appearance p a i3e r a n r ca g i em it e r f hs r e . t Hall, the residence of Mr. Bl ac kh urst, when they were invited by Mr. Blackhurst t o a tt est a cod i c i l to his wife ' s Ascroft and Mr. Ambl er s i gne d t h e w i ll, and shortly after should prove that it had been altered. Mr. Catterall then called Mr. Ascroft, who said that he had not observed at the time he signed the will the crowding or interlining which now appeared upon the first page. Had it been there he must have seen it. It consisted in the insertion of the words " And, lastly, I give, devise, and bequeath all my real and personal estate and effects to my husband, his heirs and assigns for ever absolutely." As a profes sional man had he seen any interlining he should have placed his initials •• • opposite to it. Other evidence was called to prove the will of 1847, and also several codicils to it. Two witnesses were then examined who deposed to Mrs. Blackhurst having, previously to her death, stated that she was afraid the prisoner would put her hand to paper after she was dead, and that it was her intention to leave the interest of her property to her husband during his lifetime, and that her real and personal estates should afterwards go to trustees in Glasgow. The bench re manded the prisoner till Monday, to give time for the production of further evidence. Bail was refused, and. the prisoner was at once removed to the House of Correc tion.
