In the value of Tea and Coffee there is little change, and Rice has attracted rather more attention from the reports lately current regarding the potato disease. We have had but little doing here in foreign Wool this week, and the reports both from the country and the Continent state that they are very dull there, and that prices are a shade lower. The Share-market has considerably improved since our last; and there is a better feeling with regard to this de scription of property The advance within the last week has been great, caused by speculative purchases. A little reaction is expected, though nothing of moment. The dosing prices to-day were—Aberdeen, 10 4 Chester and Birkenhead, 151 ; Caledonian, 12,1- ; Old Leeds, 57k ; Do. Fifths, Ski ; Lancaster ana Carlisle Thirds, 7ie ; Leeds Northern, 134-; Lnndon 'stock, 1174 ; Do. new Quarters, 3ip ; Dn. Fifths, 4,3; Midland, 49 ; Do.

MONEY MARKET.—LONDON, SATURDAY.—The Con. sot market presented a quiet and equable appearance. Consols were quoted all day 964 to 7, both for money and account, but with an apparent tendency to hither quota tions—a fact which may be referable to the state of the account, during which speculative sellers have been nu- numerous, and may not have been able or willing to cut "short" their differences under probably the expectation that chances may turn up in their favour before settling day arrives. Exchequer Bias were steady at 433. to 463., and India Bonds at 465. to 493. premium. The return of the movement of the Bank of England for the week ending on the 27th ult., in the Gazette of this evening, gives the following changes compared with the week ending the 20th ult.:—ln the department of issue the notes in circulation had increased £289,850, which had been produced by an increase of £280,850 in the gold coin or bullion, the silver bullion remaining un altered. On the debit side of the banking department the rest had increased £4,130, the public deposits had increased £500.339, the private deposits had increased £22,022. and the seven-day and other post hills had decreased £1,803, making the total of the liabilities £37,487,798. On the credit side the government securities remained unaltered ; the ether securities had increased £462,563, the notes had increased £54,715, and the gold and silver coin had in creased £7,410, which equalised the account. The bullicn in both departments of the Bank had increased from £14,665,140 to £14,953,400, being a difference of £288,260. The paper in actual circulation had increased from £20,171,226 to £20,395,558, being a difference of £224,332. _ _ THE REVENUE.—The official returns of the quar`er's revenue will be made up on Friday evening next, the 10th instant. Although not yet quite complete, enough is known to enable us to state that the returns for the cur. rent quarter will continue to present a most favourable result. In spite of all the remissions of taxation the pre sent quarter will sho v an increase over the corresponding quarter of last year. With such a greatly diminished expenditure as the late reductions have produced, the surplus revenue from receipts which, notwithstanding all reductions, still keep up th twit amount, promises to be even greater in the n:•xt financial year than It has been in the years 1850 or 1851. There will be a falling off in the stamps of about £ICO.OOO, which is less than the loss calculated on the reduction of stamp duties. which the There will Ise be a very comparative defi item of taxes and wil The cu tore than cover the deficiency above stated near £50,600 the reductions that have come into c /won sugar, coff e custo 3W a cons nproved, t LONDON PRODUCE MA YESTERDAY ent in d d . for foreign, and prices toffee : Demand larger, and pri native Ceylon 40s.

FIRST DAY'S SALE OF THE KNOWSL COLLECTION. ____•„____ The sale of the Knowsley aviary and menagerie commenced yesterday morning, in Knowsley-park. Before twelve o'clock, the hour appointed for the commencement of the business, rather large assemb'age had congregated on the grounds. Among these persons were Lord Hill, a representative of Sir W. Fielden, Bart., with one or two other distinguished collec tors ; there were also M. Prevdtix, the secretary of the Jardins des Plantes, Paris ; M. Verchmann, from the Zoological Gardens, Amsterdam ; M. Bachmann, from the Zoological Gardens, Antwerp ; Mr. Titus, from New York • Mr. Branston, a gentleman co nnec t e d with Wombwell's °Mena gerie, and numerous proprietors of menageries, and metro. politan dealers. After partaking of an excellent cold colla tion, presided over by the house steward, the company, under the guidance of Mr. J. C. Stevens, the auctioneer, proceeded to view the different lots comprised in the list headed deer, to which the day's operations were confined. Mr. Stevens, previous to drawing attention to the first lot, observed that a report had gone abroad that the late Earl of Derby was opposed to :he breaking up of the collection ; he assured the gentlemen present that the contrary was the fact. The following are the principal lots disposed of, and their prices :—A fine Java deer. reruns rusa, of S. Muller, received a bid of five guineas from Lord Hill : it was ultimately knocked down to his lordship for 13 guineas. Another deer of the same species, also a male, but bred at Knowsley, brought 11 guineas. It was bought by Mr. Thompson, the curator of the collection : but it was Understood to be the bid of an aristocratic friend of Lord Hilt's. A female, of the same species, was also bought by Mr. Thompson for 10 guineas. Another female was sold for eight guineas. A Molucca deer, said to be the only one in Europe—co./3as rasa lltolunensis—was bou:ht by the same gentleman for nine gui neas. A Bars Singha, certna (Axis ?) Ihurvuncellii) was knocked down to Mr. Thompson for 10s. Another was bought by M. Preveaux for £23. A female brought 'en guinea M. V Mr erchmann. Mr. Jernac bought a second female specimen for seven guineas. A male and female h g-deer were knocked d wn to Mr. Thompson for eleven guineas; another pair brought ..€9 10s.—Mr. Ducker. A male and two females of the same species, bought by Lord Hill for 10s. Mr. Preveaux bought three specimens of the inunijac for .4'22. Two brochet deer, errata coastut, were bought by Mr. Ducker for .."11 10s. A Virginian fallow deer, cercus (Cureacas) Tirginianus, was knocked down to Mr. Preveaux for ..t1 ; a pair of the same a , ecies, 10s.— Mr. Docker. A lot consisting of eleven roe deer were bought at £2los. each, by Mr. Herring, of New-road, London. THE LATE BOROUGH AND COUNTY REVISION. REPORToFT B ECONSTITUTIONALASSOCTATION The revision of the list of voters for the borough of Liver pool and for the southern division of the county of Lancaster commenced, the former on the 22nd ultimo, before Mr. Bran dreth, and lasted upwards of four days, and the latter com menced on the 26th, before Mr. Corrie, and lasted four days. It will be perceived that it has been a very heavy business, and caused much excitement during the time it lasted. - The Radical party had made great exertions in the borough list, and served an immense number of objections, especially against the freemen, and the Tory party bad evidently made a dead set against the county list, and would have succeeded to a vast extent if they had not failed in the signature of their ob jector, as appears below. An analysis of both registrations is appended. Several points of interestaroseduringeach revision. Mr. Bretherton represented the Radicals and Mr. Bremner the Tories, and we must congratulate both them and the parties engaged, that notwithstanding the number of objections on • both sides, we never retrember a rejstration to have been more ably conducted, or carried on with better feeling. BOROUGH REGISTRATION. The first point raised was by Mr. Bretherton objecting to the sufficiency of the notices served by Mr. Buckmsster, the tory objector. It appeared in evidence that Mr. Buckmaster took his objections down to the postmaster, left them with the c'erk there, but did not stay to see them examined, but called for them the same afternoon,and the remainder the next morning. This it was contended wa- not Such a posting as was required by section 1(30 of the R gistration AI. The party posting the notices was bound to examine them with the postmaster, and bring them back, that if he did not do so a fraud might be committed. Mr. Bremner contended in answer to the objection that there was nothing in the Act to compel the party posting to examine notices with the post masterliiirself ; that the words of the section were—" lie shall deliver the same duly directed, open and in duplicate, to the flosttntiste, nip npott,p.tp.• the other to the party brin2in7 th, Bremner further urged th a t ' the notice produced was in his handwriting, which he first took, and afterwards received from the postmas ter ; and that as to any fraud, it was impossible that they could ly the post, and shall return same duly stamped." Mr. witness lied sworn that the ster's sig coincided in tins vif pointcaused mud tires to I s the duplicate barrister and overruled the objections excitement in court, becaus hole of the tory objections Another point of interest w li arose was an a number of voters under the color of the new act, passed in the last session, calledtlie "Compound Householders' Act." They put in 218 claims, but by the vigilance of the Tory•advo. cafes, they only succeeded in estabishing 16. The Radicals have succeeded greatly in their objections to the freemen , Out of 1001 objectio n s ma d e b y t h em they s cases. All the I- ....ceeitect in 774 ust-office, Custom-house, and Excise officers And clerks, even to the letter-carrier s , %ere s t ruc k o ff , b ut t h ree or four, who were extra men, and only employed at the Custom house when their services were required, and did not receive any, monies, were retained. A vast number of aliens were struck off by the - • _ ories, n.. , above six foreigners proving that they had letters of denization. John Sillitoe was a Greek : he had no letters of denization, but he proved that lie had served in the navy, and had been at the battles of the Nile and Copen hagen. He was retained.—Analysis of the borough revision : HolneLoGiers,— The Tories made 458 objections, and sustained 317 The Radicals made 754 9 f ,? 479 The Tories made 54 claims, and sustained 19 The Radicals made 218 „ lfi Freemen,— 77 .., The Tories made 224 objections, and sustained 106 The Radicals made 1001 , 1 ~ 774 but of these 112 are dead, and 167 have left the town, and are no longer entitled to be retained on the linrgess Roll. COUNTY RFGI%TRATION. The Tory party had made a very large number of objections Richard Kilburn. After a number of these had ben received and . adjudicated upon, Mr. Bretherto n t oo k an o bj ect i on to a notice, on the ground that the name of the objector was not written plainly : that any one taking up the same would not be able to make out the signature as Richard Kilburn ; that it was incumbent upon an objector to give his notice and write his name in such a plain, unmistakeable manner, that a person of the meanest capacity could read it, and be able to find oat who the objector was; that the judges would not receive an affidavit if the signature was not plainly written ; that the signatures to some of these make.. were not the name of the objector at all ; that there were certain hieroglyphics which could not, by am) , ingenuity, be made to be Richard Kilburn, and he therefore contended that the notices so written could not be received. Mr. BREMNE” that V -- - repliea . _le notices could not he rejected on the grounds urged by Jr. Bretherton ; that, in the first place, it had been proved that all the notices had been signed Richard Kilburn; that, in addition to the name of the objector. the place of his abode was added, pursuant to the statute; and that, if there could be any doubt as to the writing of Kilburn zne reverence to his place of abode, and showing where his name was to be found, namely, on the list of voters for the parish of Liverpool, was so plain and decisive, that no person could be deceived; and that the presence of the very large r umber of persons in court, in answer to these very objections, showed that the voters had made out the name of the objector, secondly, that by the 101st section of the registration act, whit' was the interpretation section, it was declared "that no mis. nomer or inaccurate description of any person , place, or thing, named or described in any schedule to this act annexed or in any list or register of voters, or in any notice required by this act, shall in anywise prevent or limit the operation of this act with respect to such person, place, or thing. provided that such nerßnn nine, nr thin, ah.ll ster, or notice so umwminated In such sche o be commonly understood." That, according to this section, the name of Kilburn, "a per son," having been written to "the notice" in such manner was a valid one, and ought to be received. The Revising Bar rister decided that the name of the objector coal not be read ; that it was not Richard Kilburn at all, and rejected the notice, and a very large number of the like notices were also rejected. Mr. Bremner gave notice that he should appeal against this de cision if the barrister would grant him a case. M r.Corrie said he would do so. Mr. Bremner subsequently prepared and handed up to the barrister a notice of appeal against the above decision, and a case will be sent to the Common Pleas on the subject. Few cases occurred of much interest, the majority of the objections on both sides being confined to the change of abode, or the want of the numbers of the houses or the names of the tenants. Mr. Robberds, Unitarian Minister, of the Park Chapel, was objected to by the tories. He claimed for a " free hold chapel." Mr. Bremner cross-examined him as to his appointment, and what interest he had in the chapel. It ap peared that he was appointed by the congregation, which he considered was for life ; that his income arose from an er lowment in the dock fonds, and the balance from - butions of the congregation. Mr. Bremner contended that would not give him a freehold in the chapel. The barrister asked for the trust deed of the chapel. but Mr. Robberda had not got it. The barrister allowed him time to fetch it, but he subsequently appeared -- and said he could not get it, the trustee being Out of town, and the vote %via struck off, as was also Mr. Martineau's, for the Unitarian chapel, in Paradise-street. During this revision the barrister decided that he could insert the nature of the qualification, if it were omitted, though he could not change it. This is a step further than has ever been nn. yet. Notwithstanding the above decision, and even the appeal, the tort' . party have gained 600, upon the objections in the county revision, in addition to 300 new, and 156 re-claims, which they sent and got allowed, being an in er ase of 900 votes; and if the Court of Common Pleas reverse ihe barrister's decision upon the above notices, the gain on this revision will he upwards of 1300.—The following is an analysis of the county registration : Tory objections Radical objections sustained. sustained.

The proceedings relative to this important local event, although delayed in consequence of the Royal visit, are by no means forgotten. Next week, we are told, business is to be proceeded with in right earnest ; and many can didates, now little dreamed of, may prove formidable rivals to gentlemen whose brows are at present crowned with municipal wreaths. As far as our present informa tion goes, the following may be relied on : CASTLE-STREET WARD.—The retiring candidate here is Mr. Hugh Hornby, one of the most useful and gentle manly members in the Council. Mr. Hornby is sure to be returned without opposition. EXCHANGE WARD.—Mr. Littledale, formerly Chair man of the Dock Committee, is the retiring member. There will be no opposition. PITT -STREET WARD.—Mr. Gladstone is here the retiring member, after a service in Council of one year, he having been elected in the place of Mr. Robinson, who was created an alderman. It is said there will be au oppo sition, and that the fight may be fierce and strong, although the name_of the new candidate has not yet been men tioned. GREAT GEORGE WARD.-Mr. Wagstaff here retires. An opposition is probable. SOUTH AND NORTH TOXTETH WARDS.-Mr. Hindlev and Mr. Fisher are the ietiring candidates. They will both be opposed, and the opposition will arise from the timber trade interest. WEST DERBY WARD.—In this ward, as we have already stated, Mr. Beckwith is the retiring member. This gentleman, the first member who went into Council for the ward on what was then called the Liberal interest, is invulnerable. Mr. Beckwith, having wisely disclaimed all political feeling in the discharge of his municipal duties at his election three years ago, arid having most strictly acted in accordance with his promise then made, has gained for himself the esteem arid confidence of all parties, as is evidenced by the fact of an amalgarrrition of the rate payers of the ward lately come to. His re-election is beyond all doubt ; although one person in the ward has been active in endeavouring to get up a requisition to bring forward an opposing candidate. However, after four nights of hard labour, a name for each night, with one over, was the futile result • and the gentleman on whom it was sought t o pl ace th e ironour, becoming aware of the fact, he imperatively directed that his name should be withdrawn. Mr. Beckwith's chairman is the Lighly respected gentleman who three years ago acted as chair- Man for Mr. Beckwith's then opponent. EVERTON AND KIRKDALE WARD.—Mr. Aked, elected twelve months ago, in place of the late lamented Thomas Chalmer, jun., Esq., is the retiring candidate. His re election is confi , lently spoken of. SCOTLAND WARD.—Mr. James Thomson here retires. An opposition is spoken of as likely. Last night Mr. Thomson's friends met at the Castle Inn, Scotland-road, and, after some discussion, passed a resolution pledging themselves to support that gentleman at the forthcoming election. ST. ANNE'S WARD.-Mr. Win. Purser Freme is the retiring member. Here a strong opposition is confi dently spoken of, but no opposing candidate is yet named. LIME -STREET WARD.-Mr. Johnson, an active member in Council, retires. There will he no opposition. ST. PAUL'S WARD.-Mr. Briscoe is here the retiring member. His old opponent, Mr. M'Guffie again opposes. The contest is expected to be a severe one. Mr. M'Gutiie is said to be the favourite, but who is to be the member the polling only can decide. VAUXHALL WARD.-Mr. Hodson here retires. He will be opposed by Mr. Bradley. Both gentlemen are mem bers of the medical profession, and it is said that neither of them will be enabled, on the day of the election, to "throw physic to the dogs." The new aspirant is said 4." • ODNEY-STREET WARD.—Mr. Fleming is the retiring Up to the present time no opposition is member. spoken of, ST. PETER'S WARD.—Mr. Clarke, elected in the place of the late Mr. Ferguson, re ti res . It i s sa id th at it i s • _. intended to bring out Mr. William Earle in opposition. ABERCROMBY WARD.—In this ward Mr. Neile retires There is not yet any opposition named. CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY. Last night a public meeting was held in the Collegiate Institution, to receive information of the progress of the Gospel in Western Africa, from the Rev. Samuel Crowther, a native African Church Missionary, from Abbeokuta, and the Rev. 0. E. Vidal, M.A., who is about to proceed to Sierra Leone. The chair was taken by Adam Hodgson, Esq., who, at considerable length, explained the main object of the meet ing, which was to raise the necessary funds for the establish ment of a bishopric in Sierra Leone. Why, he asked, should Africa be excluded from the luminous belt of episcopacy? (Hear hear.) He trusted that the result of that and similar meetings would be to roll away the reproach so long resting on our land,—the neglect of our African fellow creatures. One of the objects in establishing a bishopric at Sierra Leone, was to supply the ministration of the right of confirmation to our injured fellow creatures in Africa. Another object of the esta blishment was founded on the necessity of a bishop for the ordination to the ministry, and for the superintendence of native misssionaries. After dilating upon the necessity and importance of the establishment of an episcopacy in Africa, the Chairman called upon the Rev. 0. E. Vidal first to address the meeting. Ti.e REV. GENTLEMAN, in doing so, took a review of the history of our African missions since their establish-. lnent in the year 1804 to the present time. He said the dealing of the Lord with this mission was in strict conformity with his dealing with his spiritual, and with individual members of his Church on earth. The progress of this mis sion was unquestionable, but the stages through which it had passed had been various and trying. The history of the misions up to the year 1816 was a season of struggle and difficulty. The season from 1816 to 1823, was the period of promise —the season of the sweet manifestation of God's pro vidence. From 1823 to 1841 must be accounted a period of patient perseverance against pestilence; and, what was worse and more discouraging, against apparent unfruitfulness. In 1827 the mission of Western Africa had reached its lowest ebb ; yet still the remaining few of the servants of God laboured on in spite of the difficulty —cast down but not aestroyed—perplexed but not in despair. About the year 1835, a brighterand more encou ' ry.ing state of things took place : th e see d sown was b eg i nning to bring forth. In this year was entered upon the labours of the present missionary cause. The season of the ingathering of fruit might be said to have commenced in the year 1841, the era of the Niger expedition. This expedition might not have been the moving cause of the blessings that suc ceeded it; but it was the occasion of evoking the fruits of the ministrations which had been the means of producing these effects ; it ripened them and brought them to matu rity. It was the season of fruitfulness, which had now con tinued, under the good hand of God, for the last ten years. Let it not be supposed, however, that it had passed without trials and opposition. The enemy to the cause of God sent forth its devastating army under the leader ship of the king of Dahomey. But God said, " Destroy not the blessings which have been sent forth ;" and the legion of the enemy were thrown back from Abbeokuta, and destroyed. If Africa, then, was to be etlightened and regenerated, this could only be done through the teaching and preaching of the gospel of the only true saviour of the world. What they (the advocates of the mission) asked, was the support of Liverpool, and that as she bends forward from her airy throne, she should cast her hand out across the broad Atlantic, and raise a kindred spirit from the dust of the shores of Western Africa. (Applause.) The Rev. SAMUEL CROWTHER was then called upon to' ad dress the meeting, and on presenting himself was hailed by load and prolonged applause. He confirmed, from personal observation, many of the facts spoken of by the Rev. Mr. Vidal, and gave some interesting details of the progress of the mis sions in West Africa. Shortly after the rev. gentleman com menced his address our reporter, in consequenze of the extra ordinary preparations to meet the increased demand for our paper this morning, was comp e ll e d t o l eave t h e meet i ng. Several other gentlemen, we believe, afterwards addressed the audience, after which a collection was made in aid of the cause. and the interesting proceedings terminated. On the previous day, Sunday, sermons were preached, and collections made, for the same object, in the following Churches: — Christ Church, Everton, in the morning by the Rev. S. Crowther: St. Mary's, Edge-hill, in the afternoon, by the Rev. S. Crowther: St. Jude's, in the evening, by the same rev. gentleman. St. Luke's, in the evening, by the Rev. 0. E. Vidal ; on the morning of the same; day, the Rev. 0. E. Vidal preached in St. George's, Everton. We have not heard the amounts collected. This morning there will be a public breakfast at the Adelphi Hotel, at half-past eight o'clock, to meet the above-named deputation. Yesterday the borough revision commenced for War rington, before Mr. T. S. Brandreth. There were 28 objections, and 24 claims, to be decided. The United States mail steamer Atlantic sailed, on Wednesday, for New York, with 151 passengers, the usual mails, and a fair cargo. On Thursday the body of a new-born child was foUnd in the ashpit of a house in Lower Parliament-street. It was conveyed to the dead-house. On the Ist instant, the morning mail, from Liverpool for. London, commenced leaving the Post-office at 4 15, irstead of 6 a.m. At the Warrington Town Council, on Thursday, the proposition made by the Warrington and Altringham Railway Company to erect a new bridge over the Mersey was rejected. _ The North American Royal Mail steam-ship America, Shannon, commander, sailed on Saturday afternoon, for Halifax and Boston, with the usual mails and a full corn plethent of passengers. A meeting was held at Prescot, on Tuesday, when a memorial was adopted to the London and North-Western Railway, to form a branch t(lithat town from the Huyton station. THE QUEEN'S VlSlT.—Messrs. A. and E. Jacob, Estate Agents, of Parker-street, have made extensive arrangements to accommodate the public. They are issuing tickets to view the procession as low as 2s. 6d. each. It is intimated that the Royal Mersey Yacht, the Royal Irish, and the Welsh Clubs will, next season, act in concert with the Royal Cork, and, by giving their regattas in succession in 1852, ensure a large fleet in St. George's Channel. THE OCEAN MONARCH.—Through the exertions of khe divers employed by Mr. William Blackey, of this town, who, it will be remembered, purchased the wreck of the Ocean Monarch in December, 1849, a great portion of the cargo, originally valued at £6,000, has been re covered - .It . consisted 'of pig,_ sheet, - and bar-iron, tin , and steel bars, copper sheeting, earthenware, &c.

COMMITTAL OF THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL JOURNAL. Our last publication contained a report of the extraor dinary proceedings which took place at the Liverpool County Court on Monday, when Mr. Whitty—for pub• lishing a placard announcing the contents of the Journal, and setting forth, among other items, the line, " Mr. Ramshay's opinion of the people of Liverpool" —was fined £5, for contempt of court, and in default of payment ordered to be imprisoned in Lancaster Gaol for seven days; for being guilty of contempt in consequence of the manner in which he had addressed the officers of the court, the defendant was ordered seven days' imprisonment ; and for seizing hold of a paper knife, and attempting to resist the officers, he had been guilty of an assault upon each of those individuals, for which a further fine of £5, or seven days' imprisonment, was inflicted in each case. On the rising of the court, Mr. Whitty obtained leave to return home to arrange affairs previous to his depar ture for Lancaster. He first gave a promise that he would surrender at the railway-station in Lime-street, in order to proceed in charge of the bailiffs to Lancaster Castle. Mr. Whitty was at the station at half-past nine o'clock, and there met a large number of his friends, who came to bid him good bye. The bailiffs arrived with the warrant for the unfortunate tailor, Brown, who had been Fent e n ced to seven days' imprisonment for cheering in the court; but the document authorising the incarcera tion of Mr. Whitty was not forthcoming, and the train started with Brown alone. Mr. Whitty then left the sta tion for his home, amidst the cheers and congratulations of his friends. Shortly after ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, how ever, that gentleman was waited upon at his office, by an officer from the Court, and served with the warrant. for his committal. Mr. Whitty expressed his readiness to take his departure, but no train leaving till half-past one o'clock, the officer retired till that hour. At a few minutes past one, an immense crowd assembled in front of Mr. Whitty's offices in Castle-street. Soon afterwards Mr. Stone, the high-bailiff, with a few of his subordinates, arrived. A short delay arose, during which the crowd had increased enormously ; a cab was called off the adjoining stand, and in a few moments Mr. Whitt) was seen emerging from the door. His appearance was the signal for the most enthusiastic cheering, which was continued until he entered the cab, and was driven off. Mr. Whitty was accompanied in the cab by Mr. Stone, and one of his assistants. Punctually at 25 minutes past 1, Mr. Whitty, accompanied by Charnley, the bailiff, who had been one of the witnesses in the case on the previous day, appeared at the lower end of the stone parapet at the London and North-Western Rail way Station. A whisper of the words " Mr. Whitty is here" caused a simultaneous movement of the crowd — which comprised from 5 to 600 of our most respectable inhabitants —towards the door at which he had entered ; and Mr. Whitty, passing through the throng, was greeted on every side by shaking of hands and continued and vociferous cheering. As he neared the train, three cheers were proposed for him, which were responded to so unanimously that the very to9f re-echoed the terrific sounds. Three groans for Mr. Ramshay were then pro posed. All eyes were directed on the prisoner, who imme diately raised his hands and voice to suppress such an outburst of feeling. The officer who had remained in the rear, now came forward, and, in reply to a question, said that first - class tickets had been allowed for his prisoner as well as for himself. In the few minntes that elapsed from the time of the arrival of Mr. Whitty and the departure of the train it would be impossible to num ber the expressions of sympathy and teeling that were uttered. "The town will thank you"—" It's for the public good"—and other similar sentiments were expressed. To one, "Take care of yourself," the happy rejoinder, " The officer will see to that," followed. The rope was attached in the tunnel, and the train proceeded amidst renewed cheering MEETING OF MAGISTRATES. A meeting of the borough magistrates was held at three o'clock. in their private room at the Sessions.bouge, on the subject of the above proceedings. After considerable conversation, it was resolved that the Mayor be requested to communicate with Sir George Grey (the Home Secretary) and the Earl of Carlisle, putting them in possession of a digest of the facts, and asking their counsel in the affair. COUNTY COURT.--TUESDAY. THREAT TO ASSASSINATE THE JUDGE. It having been rumoured that a number of other parties implicated in the affair would be brought be fore Mr. Ramshay this morning, the court-room was crowded at an early hour with a respectable auditory. To the disappointment, however, of most of those present, the parties referred to were not to appear until the fol lowingmorning. His HONOUR took his seat at ten minutes past ten o'clock, and on doing so referred to the disturbances and interruptions which took place in the court on Monday. in consequence of those disgraceful proceedings. he had given orders to enforce due respect to the court. He was deter mined to try whether the court was to be respectably con ducted, or whether the filthy comments and vile slanders which had been propagated—misleading ignorant minds, and bringing the court into disrepute —were to be conti nued. It was proper that this question should be at once decided, and he was determined to try to the utmost whe ther law or slander was to prevail. He held in his hand a painful proof of the persecution to which he was sub jected, in the shape of a letter he had received that morning, threatening him with assassination on that very day. but he would tell the dirty slanderer, if present, that he feared him not. The following is a copy of the letter : _ " "Crown-street, Monday E ven i ng. Srit,—Call yourself a Judge! I say you are a drunken blackguard, you will receive this on Tuesday morning —pre pare yourself for another world—you have not many hours to live. I have just time to save this post from this quarter to inform you I am busy making preparations for your destruc tion to-morrow,—you are a damn'd rascal.—yours, (Signed) "JOHN COULTER. "Ramshay."! The usual business was then proceeded with. A summons was served, the same day, upon each of the detective officers who were charged with assaulting the bailiffs on Saturday. The summons was couched in the following terms: — "In the County Court of Lancashire, holden in Liverpool. " To —, policeman. " You are hereby required personally to be, and appear before me, Wm. Ramshay, Esq., Judge of the County Court of Lancashire, holden in Liverpool, on Wednesday, the Ist o f October next, at the hour of nine o'clock, forenoon, to answer a charge of assaulting the officers of the court, in the execution of their duty, on Saturday, the 27th day of Septem ber instant. Herein fail not. Given under the seal of the court on the 29th day of September, 1651.: "BY THE COURT." WEDNESDAY. The court was opened this morning at twenty-five minutes past nine o'clock. The Judge, on taking his seat, complained of the receipt of many anonymous letters, which only inspired him with the most utter con tempt for the writers, and a determination to enforce the law against all who may insult the court. TRIAL OF MR. JOHN WHITTY AND THE POLICE OFFICERS. The first case called on for trial was that in which a summons had been issued against Mr. John Whitty, charging him with assaulting the officers of the court, in the Journal-office, on the evening of Saturday last, whilst they were endeavouring to capture his father. Some half dozen police-officers were also summoned, and were in attendance. The court was very crowded. Sir G. Stephen, instructed by Mr. Lowndes, appeared for Mr. Whitty, and Mr. Dowling on behalf of the police. During a short delay which took place before Mr. Whitty came into court, Mr. Dowling said he appeared not so much as an advocate for the police-officers, but rather to watch the proceedings; because he was as anxious as his honour that every member of the police force should carry out the law as it ought to be carried out; and if they had done anything wrong he should be one of the first to take notice of it. Mr. Whitty having taken his place in the de. fendant's box, Roger Charnlev, the first witness called, was examined by the judge. Charnley detailed the cir cumstances which took place in the office of Mr. Whitty, his evidence being mainly the same as that given on Mon day. The defendant gave him and the other officers in charge of the police, telling the latter that they (the county court bailiffs) had no business there, that they wanted to take his father, but that they had no warrant. The defendant said the witness seized him by the collar, in a rough way, to put him out of the place, and that some other parties seized him also with the same design. Sir George Stephen cross-examined Charnley, eliciting that he was appointed bailiff by Mr. Stone; that he had no appointment in writing in his own custody, though Mr. Stone might have one; that he rested his order to bring Mr. Whitty before the court unon the verbal di rection of the judge : that as a police-officer (he had for merly been in the force) he (Charnley) never went to a private house to take a party into custody without a war rant; but that the commonest policeman in the town had the power of taking up any one in the streets, whom they considered disorderly, from the highest to the lowest. This power they frequently exercised without any warrant. If a disorderly person went into a house they must get a summons. Ile never did such a thing as follow a disorderly person into a house. He would follow a disorderly person into a public-house, but not into his own house. He would not fetch him out if the door was open or ajar. Hartley, the other bailiff, was then examined, his evidence being a corroboration of the preceding. Joyce. too, was examined, as was John Sum ner, the examiner of the court, the latter giving similar evidence as to the pulling down of the alleged offensive placard as that given by him in the case of Mr. Whitty, senior, His honour put many questions to the witness as to whether he (the judge) had not-asserted that the dignity of the bench bad been reflected upon by the appearance of such placards, and whether the public were not, in conse quence, likely to form a derogatory opinion of him ? Wit ness replied, such was the fact, that no man of common comprehension could doubt that such was the effect to be conveyed. Sir G. STEPHEN objected to this evidence on the grounds - vhatever mizht be the opinion of the witness, the question of IV made aeainat that opinion. It was his honour's opinion, and that opiniot, alone, which could determine the question. Whether as to this placard, or any similar placard or document what- In complained as being libellous or offensive :1 , ninion of the witness was quite foreign 1 , in. the Judge gave rein to his feelings, and ever of vvr to the env to the whole e anaressed the crowded audien - Ce, which filled every part of the court. The conclusions of all his sentences were inau dible, and in ccany parts of his address, when overcome by emotion, he could not be beard. His remarks throughout were characterised by strong determination, and when this was the more powerfully developed he was the more indis tinctly heard. He proceeded to say that certainly he was a gentleman, and a man of honour and education. He was brought up in courts of law, living in them ; he had come to devote his body and soul to the faithful administration of his duties, and was he to be wronged and insulted, and worried and tormented to the death. After the examination of some other witnesses, the Judge went through the evidence against the defendant, who, he admitted, was in a painful position ; but he de nied that he was bound to follow his father, right or wrong. He then proceeded, at length, to give the rea sons why the legislature had given such large powers to the judges of the county courts; and observed that, in the next session of parliament, he should feel it his duty to ask the legislature to give the judges still more extensive powers ; and he would state a fact that had lately come under his notice, without reference to the threat of assas sination and anonymous letters which had been received by him lately. He had been grossly insulted at his own lodgings, by a man who had been committed to Lancaster Castle for six months, for seeking to rob a widow and orphan—the widow and orphan of a man of family, of talents, of education, who had met his death by visiting— in the discharge of his honourable, meritorious, and Christianlike duties—the abodes of misery, of disease, and of death. That poor man caught the disease which produced death before he had the means of keeping his family independent of his exertions ; and because he (the learned judge) happened to lodge at the house of that lady, who had been compelled, for the sake of an honourable subsistence for herself and son, to let off portion of her house, he had been subjected to the insults cf the man who had tried to rob her. With regard to Mr. Whitty, the elder, he had been challenged to take that man, and he had now lodged him in Lancaster Castle, to undergo the punishment to which he had been sentenced. With regard to the defendant, the son, he could not agree with Sir George Stephen, that he was bound, at all risk, to commit an assault upon the officers ; and he must be taught that he could not do this with impunity ; and that he, like all others, must not be guilty of an offence against the court. And, besides this, other people must be taught that they must not insult the officers of the court. If he had oniy caught that reporter who had used insulting lan guage to one of the officers, if he could only have caught him, he should have made him responsible for what he had said. His honour declared his fixed resolve to send any man who might publish any more libels upon him to Lancaster Castle. With regard to not having issued a warrant, it was entirely a matter of discretion, in his opi nion ; but he might probably ask the judgment of others on that matter ; yet, had he thought the scribbling of a few lines on a piece of paper would have protected the bailiffs from the violence they suffered, he would certainly have written them. He would not have all this hallooing and howling in the town for nothing, and he must pre serve the dienity of the court. He imposed a fine against Mr. John Whitty of £2 for insulting Hartley, and £2 for the same offence against Charnley, or be imprisoned for seven days in Lancaster. He also sentenced him to pay £2 each, as a penalty, for obstructing them in the execu tion of their duty. There was no imprisonment added to the latter penalty, because he looked upon it as a debt recoverable by action, and, if not then paid, the defendant w o u ld b e liable to eighty days' imprisonment. If an action was brought by Joyce, the oamages might or might not be laid at £5O ; and he did not know that he should, if he tried the case, be justified in cutting the damages down. The defendant not paying the fine, it was ordered that the warrant be not enforced that night, as he had been in eourt all day Sir GEORGE STEPHEN said the defendant would be ready at one o'clock the following day. The JUDGE hoped there would be no more of the inde cent exhibitions of Tuesday, or otherwise he must take measures to have the man removed when the public would not be present. __ The case against the five police-officers, after an expla nation by Mr. Dowling, was withdrawn. CP Wm. Brown, Esq., P M.P., T. Booth, Esq., R. E. Harvey, Esq., and several other magistrates, as well as members of the Council, were noticed in court. LIBERATION OF MR. BROWN, Mr. Brown, who was sentenced to sevenda;s;-imprison ment on Monday, was sent off the same night to Lancaster. On arriving at the county town the bailiff discovered that he had lost the warrant ! A fresh warrant was written for, but as none arrived, the bailiff and his prisoner returned to Liverpool on Tuesday evening. At the station at Lancaster they met Mr. Whitty, , who bad just arrived. Mr. Brown was brought up at the County Court on Wed nesday, when he was locked up all day in an upper room. About seven o'clock in the evening he was ushered into the presence of the judge, and, having expressed his regret at what he had done, was released on payment of a fine of ss. On Thursday Mr. Brown went on 'Change, and re ceived £5 7s n the amount of shilling subscriptions raised for him amongst the merchants. MR. WHITTY'S RELEASE AND ARRIVAL IN LIVERPOOL A committee of gentlemen Laving been organised on Thursday, Mr. Whitty's fines, amounting in all to £33, and those of his son, were paid under protest. and an order for release having been procured from the judge, Mr. John Whitty immediately took the train to Lancaster. It soon became known that the editor of the Journal would re turn about ten o'clock the same evening, and long before that a vast crowd of persons assembled in front of the station in Lime-street, to greet Mr. Whitty when he should appear. Several hundreds of gentlemen had been admitted inside the station, and when it was intimated that the train was in the tunnel, they formed in two long lines upon the platform, it being intended that Mr. Whitty should pass through, and that as he passed the assembled gentlemen should form in procession and accompany him to his house. The excitement, however, was so great that all previous arrangements were broken through, and when Mr. Whitty appeared his friends crowded upon him tumultuously on every side. When the gate leading into Lime-street was opened, the thou sands who were assembled outside then joined in the enthusiasm. It was in vain to attempt to recede or ad vance, in consequence of the pressure of the crowd, and at length Mr. Whitty took off his hat, and, partial silence having been obtained, he said— " Gentlemen, I thank you for this cordial reception. (Cheers.) It is as unexpected as it is gratifying. (Loud cheers.) I never knew till Monday last (although I shrewdly suspected it) that I was an ugly man. (Laugh ter and cheers.) I never knew until Monday last that I had so many friends. (Cheers.) The judge of the county court was pleased to say that my friends were a mob. (Hisses.) The man who said so was no judge of the people of Liverpool. (Loud cheers.) I cannot look upon this demonstration as a mark of personal respect alone. It is a testimony in favour of the princi ples which I profess, but on which an attack has been made. (Cheers.) There can be no doubt, gentlemen, that the events of the last few days will result in the removal from Liverpool of the man who has thus raised popular indignation. Personally I have no feelings on the subject at present. I look upon the broad question as it affects me and you. When Mr. Ramshay comes down from that bench, which assuredly he will do, then he and I will be on an equality, and he will not commit me any more. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I wish you all good night." (Loud cheers.) Another attempt was made to proceed, but it was in vain. At last Mr. Jeffery said, " Gentlemen, as you re spect our friend, Mr. Whitty, and love order, you will make way." An opening was then made in the crowd, but it was soon closed. At last a spare car was reached, Mr. Whitty and two or three friends jumped in, and drove off. A band of music, which was engaged for the occasion, and the greatest portion of the crowd proceeded in procession along Lime-street, towards the Adelphi, and made some unmistakeable demonstrations opposite the County Court. One portion of the crowd, the more vulgar and noisy, went to the lodgings of Mr. Ramshay and groaned opposite the house. Another portion went in the London-road direction. The excitement did not subside until a very late hour. MR. RAMSHAY AND THE REPORTERS.—At the close of the business of the County Court, on Friday, the judge called attention to the reports of proceedings in his court which had appeared in the newspapers, and complained that they were neither sufficiently full nor accurate. The only reporter present challenged his honour to disprove the verity of any paragraph or notice of his proceedings he had ever written ; and said he felt convinced there was no truly recognised reporter of any paper in Liverpool who dare to offer the proprietor an account he was not prepared by his notes to prove as accurate. The judge, thereupon, declared that ho intended no insult to the individual ; and after some conversation, in which the judge and the reporter passed reciprocal compliments, his honour expressed himself satisfied with the explanation. PROPOSED ILLUMINATION OF THE COURT.—On Fri day, before the judge had entered the court, a gentleman came forward to the table and announced that he had at tended in consequence of a letter which he had received from the judge, upon the subject of illuminating the court on the occasion of the royal visit. The following is a copy of the letter : "County Court, Liverpool, 2d Oct. 1851. "The judge of the County Court presents his complements to Mr. Coleman, and will be glad to be informed of his terms for illuminating public buildings. The judge is desirous of having the Court House illuminated on the occasion of her Majesty's a tender of Mr. Coleman's charges, or a personal interview with that gentleman in the Court House at half-past ten o'clock to-morrow morning." Mr. Coleman hin;Self it was who came forward, but he was informed that the letter had not been written by his honour, but was, in fact, a hoax. He shortly afterwards left the court. ADJOURNMENT OF THE COURT.—The County Court was formally adjourned from Friday evening till ten o'clock on Saturday morning, but Mr. Ramshay was not present, and no business was transacted, the whole of th e cases having been disposed of on Friday. The court opened again at ten o'clock on yesterday mornin g , b ut again adjourned for ordinary business until the 27th inst.

Miss Pyne created considerable interest in onset quence of a very su ccess f u l hi t s h e made during the Jaiso season at the Roy a l It a li an O pera, Covent Garden. 5 some respects we wer e di sappo i nte d w i th her, but pet we expected too much.
