The first called;on. was,tke following : FACTION EIGRLE :27EA,E Sr. LfELENs.—Edward :Chambers (30), John ,s,esaningE ~ (59),.andiPatrick Kennedy (32)„scere in dicted for pievousiyAvounding ,Timothy Kelly, with intent to do him bodily harm,at c , c-lestou. Mr. Tindal Akinsor., who ;appeared for the prosecution, stated that prosecutor and tile pri taaner were u narvies;" who bad tbee.n engaged in canal work, gear Prescot. On Monday, the-26th of May last, they.had :kill been at St. Helena, to get paid their wages, and between seven and eight o'clock were g9th,g home in company. Ale prisoners asked Kelly if he was ,a 'Connaught" pr a .",31nn ster man." He replied flat he,was an Irishman, but this veply not satisfying them, he said :he came from glare. A. snan,samed Coleman, upon this .said he came from Galway, and vas " fit for" anybody from Ireland, and struck the pro secutor. A fight ensued, Ancl chambers struck Kelly over ,the head with his spade and knocked him down. While s,he was on the ground Jennings ,did .the same with another spade, and Kennedy struck him with a stick, He was severely wounded on the head, and left on .the ground , for dead. Several witnesses case called for the prosecution. Mr. Brett, for the defence, maintained that the prisoners could not be convicted on tbe.chaxge of intent to do bodily har m , a lth oug h h e would admit :there might have been a corm:non assault. He also argued that the prosecutor had , not given a true versi on o f th e a ff a i r , w i nckbe designated an " Irish row_;" in which all were equally to ,blame.—His lordship, in suraming up, told the jury that, if they,did ,not think there was an intent to do grievous bodily harm on the part of the priscomrs, they might, under a recent act of par ;lament, find them guilty of unlawfully wounding —The jury found them guilty of the minor offence, and they were .sentenced to twelve „months' imprisonment, with hard labour. The court rose at twenty minutes to six, and will resume ;its sittings at nine O'clock this morning, to try civil cases. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. two forged notes to a girl named Anne Cort, a native of Bol ton, with whom he had lived at Manchester for some time. Cort was called as a witness under rather curious cir cumstances. She received the notes from him at Manchester, as a consideration for his having taken her from her native place. When she returned to Bolton she got one of the notes changed by one of her friends, and shortly afterwards it was discovered to be a forged one, and she was taken up, and com mitted for trial, the magistrates not believing her story as to how she became possessed of the note. On being arraigned at the bar amongst a number of other prisoners she at once recognised Hall, who was also in the dock, as the man who had given her the forged note. She communicated with Mr. Harris, the head constable, who informed the prosecuting counsel, and the result was that Cort was transferred to the witness-box, and gave her evidence against Hall, who feebly denied her story. The jury, however, believed it, and fou n d Hall guilty. Se n t ence was deferred until this (Tuesday) morning: The prosecution against Cort was abandoned, and at his lordship's direction she was set a liberty. ErrEGLARY AT MANCHESTER.-3 - ohn Maddocks, 16, tailor, and Henry Campbell, 18, factory worker, were indicted for having at Manchester, on the night of the 30th of M arc h l as t, burglariously entered the dwelliug-house of Charles Chaplin, and stolen a shawl, a cloak, a pair of boots, two coffee-pots, and sundry other articles, to the value of £lO. Th e po li ce discovered that the house hadbeen entered, and saw two Mien coming away from the place, one of whom (Maddocks) they captured. Campbell was afterwards apprehended on suspi cion, and the stolen boots were found upon him. Haddocks pleaded guilty, and wassentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. Campbell was acquitted. STABBING AT MANCHESTEE. — MichaeI Doulin, ;2t,„, factory worker, was indicted on a charge of maliciously stabbing Charles Macdonald, in a public-house row in the ebove town, on the 12th of May. The prosecutor, in cross - examination, admitted that lie was drunk, used Offensive language, and struck the first blow. The prisoner was found guilty of un lawfully Wounding, and sentenced to 'twelve months' im prisonment, with hard labour.

MONDAY NIGHT. THE Money Market during the week has presented very little worthy of notice, the fluctuations, as in the preceding week, being very trifling, and the standard price of 91 for Consols not being departed from more than a quarter per cent. This absence of vitality is owing no doubt to the season of the year, most persons enjoying recreation in the country or at the sea-side rather than attending to business, for which there is little inducement at present. At the same time, the news from the seat of war have been merely variations of " all's Well," without either successes or reverses to give an impetus to speculation. The repayment of the deposits on the French Loan, which will be made in a day or two, will, no doubt, render money more plen tiful ; while, on the other hand, the paling of the Limited Liability Bill may give employment to more capital. The Bank returns, on Friday, show a dimi nution in the stock of bullion to the extent of £153,658, but the notes unemployed have increased £111,155 ; notwithstanding there is an increase of " other secu rities" of 079,663. The other changes are compara thiely unimportant. Money for commercial purposes is still very easy, the rate of discount for first-rate paper ruling as low as 2-1 per cent., the Bank minimum remaining el 32 per cent. The accounts from Manchester are rather of a desponding character, the trade being dull, owing to varielts 'causes, Which, though combined, may account fat the present indisposition to operate, but are neither 'of them more than of a temporary character. The 'remedy sought is in diminished prodneition, and in litlaekburn a /1-esolution has been come •to., 'to work the factories only four days a-week :; but 'according to the -eirbillar of Messrs. HUGE BALVOUIt and Co., a rapid 'return to usual hours of labour is anticipated. The arrivals of specie last week 'amounted to about £620,000, all in gold Theshipments being estimated rat about £lOO,OOO, and as the 'Foreign Exchanges are favoarable, it is believed that the greater portion will gointo the Bank neffers. The Great-western dividend 'wiß be at the rate of only 2.per cent. per annum. We quote thefollowing Irenrarks from the circular of Messrs. T. and 11. lITTIIEBALE and Co.:--- A strong apprehension preValled for some days, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was going to impose an addi tional 10 per cent. On the 'import duties, and considerable quantities of •Sagar and /Tea 'were in consequence released from bond; bat the very recent date of the late increase—the immediate oloee of 'the setsien of parliament, and the injurious effect of sucha measure• at this critical period of the year, seemed ha , combine to render it most imProbable—and by the measure now ;proposed, of issuing £7,000,000 of Exchequer bills szd 'bonds,- anythange in customs' duties may be con sidered attain end-- - --that an increase may be imposed by - the spring budget, should the war continue, is more than probable, andziay tastly -enter intone calculations of merchants now sendingott their orders td the Mauritius and elsewhere.

We are, however,- informed on good authority, that.the extremity of these companies is on the eve of bringing. out a remedy. A large and comprehensive scheme of reform and retrenchment has `been proposed by the• Great Western Company, which vsvas laid before the London- and NorthLWestern Board -on Saturday last. This, it is said, if agreed.to, will bring about an immense saving in the expenses of ( these companies, and , restore eto them , some of -their prosperity of former ,days. -We believe the plan does away with all competition—divides the country into 'dietricts, leavingeachfoone management ---and descends even into the minutest details connected with the expen diture of each.

Since Thurslay, however, there has been considerable improvement, and prices have advanced fully f f d. per lb, with a confident tone. The sales of the week-up to Friday amounted to 38,740 bales., .of which 3,9§0 were taken on .speculation, and 3,250 for export. leaving 31,590 for the trade. TO-DAY the .advices by the Canada were received, showing more firmness on ;the other side, which had a corresponding effect here. The .sales reached 0,000 bales, including 6,000 for speculation and export, and the market closed firmly.

FRITIT.—We extract the following from the circular of Messrs. FLETCHER and FIRTH, dated 10th Aug.:,— We continue to receive very unfavourable reports of the new crop from the Currant Islands, and although they are rather of a conflicting character,. it appears an admitt e d f ac t that the quantity of useable Fruit will not exceed that of last season ; and, looking at the great disparity between the stock on hand now, which is under 400 tons against 1,600 tons at this time last year, we see just cause to apprehend a great scarcity may be felt even to meet the demand up to the end of the year, and as a natural consequence prices may be forced up far beyond present rates ; so that the present appears a favour able time to make safe purchases. A complete stagnation appears to prevail in Raisins generally, and particularly for Black, which were in general demand a short time back for the French market, and purchases may now be made much below former rates. Valencias show rather a more healthy appearance, although still in only retail demand : other descriptions not inquired for. We have lately had a tolerable supply of Lemons from Sicily, and which have met with a steady demand at improving prices. Very few Oranges now now coming in, and a scarceness prevails. WooL.---We have no alteration to notice in this market during the week ; the attention being drawn towards our public sales which commence this day, and at which about 6,000 bales, comprising East India, Egyptian, &c., will be offered. The imports for the week consist of 155 bales, Mediterranean; 368 bales, Portugal ; 2 bales, United States ; 408 bales, Scotch ; 54 Irish ; and 10 coastwise ; total, 997 bales. METALS.---There has been a very active demand for Scotch Pig Iron at improved rates, the latest quota tions being 775. per ton for store warrants mixed numbers f.o.b. at Glasgow. Manufactured Iron has also been in good demand at a proportionate improve ment. Other Metals without alteration. The late advance in Tin has been maintained. WAVERTREE BOARD OF HEALTH. THE monthly meeting of this board was held last night, in the Public Offices; the Rev. W. Badnall occupying the chair. There were likewise present Messrs. Halhead, Hill, Bradburn, Clark, Gore, Chaffers, and Rishton. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and ap- proved of; after wEich the business of the meeting chiefly consisted of the reading of communications from inhabitants of the township, generally complaining of some matter or other, the neglect of which occasioned inconvenience or detri ment to the complainants. LIGHTING PIQUE-LINE.—A memorial was read from the inhabitants of this district of the township, complaining that although the attention of the board had several years ago been called to the fact that no public lamps had been put up in Pique-lane, or, as it was also called, Dryden-road, while the Liverpool Gaslight Company's mains had been long laid down in the lane, and craving that public lamps might be put up before winter sets in. In reference to this memorial, it was explained that, the expediency of erecting lamps wherever the gas mains had been laid down, and such lamps should be applied for, had been long ago agreed to. Mr. HALHEAD then moved, and Mr. CHAFFERS seconded the motion, that lamps be put up in the quarter now applied for. Ma. PICTON'S SEAT AT TUE BOARD.—Mr. PICTON, at this stage of the proceedings, entered the board-room, and ex plained that he had come in consequence of a note he had re ceived from the Law-clerk of the board, intimating that from protracted absence from the meetings he had forfeited his seat at the board. He said he did not know exactly how the matter stood, but that be had not abstained voluntarily from attending, he having for some time been prevented by pressing business. Still he did not think he had been so long absent as to forfeit his seat. Mr. ATIEERTON, the Law-clerk, explained that the statute declared any seat forfeited, the occupant of which had been absent for three consecutive months. He also, by reference to the minute-book, showed that Mr. Picton had not attended any meeting for three and a half months. PicioN then made his obeisance to the chairman, and retired. The CHAIRMAN expressed regret that the board should be deprived of the valuable services of Mr. Picton, who had, he said, proved himself one of the most useful of its members. He suggested that some expression of this feeling should be made by the board. Mr. RrsiiToN said such a course would be altogether irregular and a bad precedent. When a gentleman was elected to fill any office, he was of course expected to dis charge its duties. The matter then dropped. On .a representation from George Williams, one of the lamp-lighters, his wages were raised from 12s. to 14s. per 'week. SEWERING OF SANDOWN-LANE:---AII application from Miss Poole was read, setting forth that she was subject to great annoyance, in consequence of the contractor for the sewerage in that lane blasting in the course of his operations, and pray ing that he might be debarred from doing so. A protracted conversational discussion arose upon this sub ject, in which it was stated that the complaint of Miss Poole had been referred to Mr. Newlands, as thP engineer under whose direction and controul the contract was being carried out. That he had issued orders to the contractor to desist from• the , use of blasting; and that, under all the circum stances of the case, the board could not interfere. Mr. HALREAD moved that the Law-clerk be instructed to aCknowledge Miss Poole's communication. This.was agreed to, and after the transaction of some rou tine business, the board adjourned. FATAL ACCIDENT, YESTEEDAY.—Evan Evans, an old man 60 years of age, who lived at 105, Upp er M ann - s t ree t, Toxteth park, fell from a platform in the yard of Mr. W. Gregson's saw-mill, yesterday about noon, and was almost immediately killed. An inquest will be held to-day. JAMES ANDEasox, a peripatetic ragman, was sent to gaol for a month by the borough magistrates yesterday, for not satisfactorily accounting for the possession of a green quilted bed cover, which, along with sundry small " pickings, ' were found upon him by officer 352, as he was coming into the bo rough, apparently from West Derby, on Saturday afternoon . BINERUPTCY COURT, YESTERDAY.— (Before Commis sioner Perry)— Geo. Bateman, late lessee of the Cattle Market Hotel, Stanley, came up on his adjourned last examination. The balance-sheet not being filled in proper time, the case was adjourned until the 27th inst.—Orlando Newton, late a publican in Regent-road, passed his last examination. The 12th of November was fixed for the certificate meeting. CRlCKET.—Axonyuam v. ROCK FERRY.—A match between the Aigburth and the Royal Rock Ferry Clubs was commenced on the ground of the former on the 30th ult., but, in conse quence of the unpropitious state of the weather, only one innings on each side could be played. On Wednesday, the game was resumed, and terminated in favour of the Rock Ferry Club, with seven wickets to spare, The winning club was only formed this season, and this early success augurs well for its future progress. A STRANGE WAY •OF " SAVING ONE'S BACON.” —Allll Jane Brewer, a distressed-rooking young girl, was charged by Mrs. Mary Ann Moss of Lowndes-street, w ith d e f rauding her. The complainant said the prisoner's parents having had their house and property stripped by bailiffs, she had given her meat and clothing, and employed her to run on errands, or to do any little service in return for the charity bestowed on her. On Saturday afternoon she sent her with 12s. to release some articles from pledge. This the girl did, and she was sent a second time with 45., to redeem some other articles. This time she appropriated the money and spent it. Mr. Bluck, who appeared for her, urged that it was merely a breach of trust. Addressing the complainant, he asked, " She was not a servant at all, was she ?" Complainant : "Oh no, sir, she was merely in my -house out of charity ; I wasn't to pay her anything !" Mr. Bluck : ".Oh, of course not ; that's just what saves her bacon !" (Laughter.) The bench viewed the case as one of breach of trust, and discharged the girl. A STREET ROBBERY SMARTLY DETECTED.—WiIIiaM Dickenson, a. carter, was charged yesterday before the magis trates with stealing a bag of Indian corn. About six o'clock on Saturday evening, while police-officer 395 was on duty in Regent-street, aperson came up and informed him that he sus pected a robbery Lad been committed. He then detailed what he had seen. The prisoner was proceeding along Regent-road with a cart load of empty sacks. Before him was a cart with fill) sacks of Indian corn. He took one of the full sacks, and with the assistance of the other driver placed it upon the shafts of his own cart, and shortly afterwards transferred it to a donkey cart which came up, and began to drive off. The person who witnessed the transaction then informed the officer, who apprehended the driver of the donkey cart and the prisoner, who was following it. The donkey cart had been en gaged by some man who was also following it, but disappeared on seeing it stopped by the police-officer. The prisoner s cart and the other, it appeared, were employed in carting from a ship to a warehouse in Barton-street, for Messrs. Franghedi and Co. These circumstances having been proved by witnesses, Super intendent Clough ask where was the driver of the cart from which the sack was stolen ? The Officer : He was at the horse's head when the bag was taken, and did not see the robbery.—Mr. Clough : You should have brought him here.— The case was remanded until to-day, for the production of the other carter. No MISTAKE, THIS TlME.—(Yeorge Maitland, a showily dressed young man, of" smart" address, and a decided "me tropolitan" accent, was brought u p a t the Police-court yester day, by officer 534, charged with attempting to pick pockets at the Prince's-parade. Mrs. Priscilla Robinson, a rather " plain-spoken" old lady, from Manchester, said :—" I was on the pierhead this morning wi' my good man, looking at the Isle of Man packets going off, when I felt summat thrutching me, and a turnin' roun' I see this young chap's hand in my pocket. I says, Oh, you naughty man. (Laughter.) My husband says to him, `You must be given into the hands o' the police, or you'll be pickin' some one else's pockets !' Says he (the prisoner) Oh, don't gi' me in charge. The lady's mistaken.' Mista'en, be hanged !' says I— (roars of laughter) —` I seed your ban' i' my pocket,' and so we give him into the policeman's charge." (Laughter) The officer said the pri soner hung about the place every day, trying to pick pockets. Magistrate, to Mrs. Robinson : " Had you anything in your pockets ?"—Mrs. Robinson : " Oh, yes, to be sure ; I'd my poss (purse) and I'd my spectacles—(laughter). Oh, aye, and I'd my snuff-box. (Roars of laughter.) Magistrate : "And did you lose anything r' Mrs. Robinson : " Oh, no, thank you ; I took too good care of that !" (Laughter.)

At the Police-court, yesterday, "Micky Finnarty, "Micky" Larkin, and "Micky" Moran, John Cavanagh and Rose Can non, were charged by police-officers 163 and 660, with rioting and fighting, and by Mrs. Malley, beerhouse-keeper, Addison street, with breaking her windows. For some time past there have been disputes on the never-to-be-settled question of the superiority of Munster and Connaught, which were brought to a culminating —or rather fulminating—point, on Sunday afternoon last, when a little " ruction" occurred in the street named, and Mrs. Malley's windows suffered because she would not serve out drink to the combatants. Mrs. Malley added that the prisoners had threatened her life, and made her afraid to stir out of doors. Mr. Mansfield said he was deter mined to put down these disgraceful Irish rows. The public at large knew little or nothing about them or their causes, and the people engaged in them knew less, for they generally commenced from nothing at alt, beyond the mere love of fighting. He sent all the prisoners to gaol for a month each, with hard labour, LATEST NEWS.

THE WAR. DESPATCH FROM GENERAL SIMPSON. The Gazette contains a despatch from General Simpson dated 31st July. Notwithstanding the rocky nature of the ground and light ness of the nights, the works were steadily though slowly advanced in the direction of the Redan. An agreeable change had taken place in the weather ; heavy showers of rain had occasionally fallen. Several reconnaissances had been made from the Valley of Baidar towards Ozenbash, Aitodor, and through Phoros Pass towards Allupka—the enemy nowhere appearing in any force; but the narrowness of the mountain road, with the exception of the Woronzow, makes it unnecessary for them to alter their concentrated position on the heights of Mackenzie and the Plateau of the Belbeck. Health of the troops continued satisfactory. Casualties from 27th to 29th July, inclusive .—Killed, 1 sergeant and 11 rank and file. Wounded, Lieut. A. Goren, 19th, slightly; Captain L. Thornton, 44th, slightly; Major O. F. Campbell, 40th, slightly; Captain N. Steevens, 88th, slightly; Assistant-Surgeon E. Lundy, 79th, slightly; 2 sere. geants, and 10G rank and file. Prince Gortschakoff telegraphs on the 9th There is nothing new. The fire of the enemy is weak.!' The Times' Paris correspondent writes :—" A private letter from St. Petersburg mentions that great depression prevails among all classes in that city, owing to the duration of the war, which completely paralyses all branches of commerce and industry. This depression has gained even the leading per sonages of the old Russian party, hitherto so warlike, but who are now beginning to despond. Nearly all labour is suspended in tlie manufacturing quarters, in consequence of the want of primary materials, which no longer arrive from abroad, and also from the want of hands—all being employed in the defence of the empire. The produce of the soil has no longer a market abroad, and in the interior business is at a stand still, and articles of the most indispensable kind have attained an exor bitant price. Coffee, sugar, and salt are now luxuries hardly to be seen, except on the sacrifice of money imposed by the present circumstances; and the number of Bayards who will be ruined by the war is beyond all idea."
