It is not known how he got into the boiler. THE Board of Trade, finding that masters of vessels do not use the best exertions to procure mates when about to proceed on foreign voyages, have resolved that no shipping master shall clear any such vessel until the master and mate be pro vided with certificates agreeable to the act. MR. BICICLEY, jun., son of the station superintendent of the London and North-western station, has suddenly died at Sherborne, Canada East, where he was manager in the goods department of the Grand Trunk line. He was but 20 years of R. MR. JOSEPH LANGTON, the manager of the Bank of Liver pool, was taken ill whilst on a tour on the Continent, and died at Paris on Thursday. No man connected with the commer cial or banking interest of Liverpool was better known, or more generally respected. - - - - - SUDDEN DEATH.—On Tuesday morning, Mr. Robert Richardson, tailor, of Lord-street, died rather suddenly on board the King Orry, Isle of Man steamboat. He had come from the island in the boat, and during the passage he was very ill, and it was supposed he had burst a blood-vessel. He died just as the boat arrived in the river. - - - - FATAL ACCIDENT. — On Friday, an inquest was held on the body of Ellen Harkey, 49 years of age, residing in 3 Court, Upper Harrington-street, who died in the West Derby hos pital, on Wednesday night, from the effects of a fall on the 18th instant. While passing along Wolff-street, Toxteth-park, she trod on the coal-grid of No. 36, in the occupation of Mr. Wil liams. The grid not being fastened, it turned up, and the de ceased fell with her leg through the hole. Her leg was severely injured, and finally caused her death. LOCAL WAR ITEMS. — The ship Culloden, lying in the Bramley-Moore Dock, will leave here for Cork to-morrow, or Thursday, with 24 officers and 420 men, the whole being drafts from different regiments.

These troops are destined for Malta.—The transport Golconda will sail from Liverpool for Malta to-morrow, with 60 officers and 600 men, being drafts from various regiments.—On Thursday, 35 volunteers for the Royal Navy were sent by Captain Bevis to her Majesty's receiving ship Crocodile, lying in the Thames. FLOODS NEAR MANCHESTER.—Heavy rains have fallen ever since Tuesday in Lancashire and Cheshire. On Thursday, and during Thursday night, the rain was almost continuous, sometimes falling in torrents, and the rivers Irwell: and Mersey have been swollen to overflowing. In Broughton, near Manchester, the waters of the Irwell overflowed the left bank of the river, and the inhabitants on Friday morning were confined to their dwellings, in some of the most con tiguous streets, by a depth of several feet of water. The low grounds adjoining the Mersey, far down into Cheshire, are completely covered with floods. TESTIMONIAL.—SOIIIe friends of William Cross, Esq., late manager of the Borough Bank, recently presented him with a 'bust, in marble, of Mrs. Cross. A deputation, consisting of the following gentlemen : —J. Bramley-Moore, Esq., M. P.; Frank Haywood, Esq.; John Laird, Esq. ; James Logan, Esq. ; John Park, Esq. ; and A. E. Byrne, Esq., waited upon him at his residence at Aigburtb, when the pleasing duty was most gracefully performed by J. Bromley-Moore , Esq., in the pre sence of the lady and 'her family, and feelingly responded to by Mr. Cross. We understand Mr. Cross is leaving this town for London, for the purpose of establishing a house there in con nexion with his present firm, Messrs. A. Dennistoun and Co.

I n t his great educational establishment, combining litera r y an d scientific instruct i on with moral and religious training, the archdoeafi?e co u n selsninvably manifested the liveliest interest, bringing t this board a patience of investigation, a soundness judgmen t, of of and a truly Christian temper anctspirit, of which its member s entertain a most grateful recollection ; and they hope that the experience of his example may still be found to direct and animate their proceedings." LIVERPOOL CHEMISTS' ASSOCILTION.—The second meeting of the session was held on Thursday, in the Royal Institution, Mr. Abraham, the president, in the chair. The members visited the museum, which was opened for the first time. The directors of the Royal Institution have liberally placed a rcom at the service of the society, and already more than 200 speci mens have been collected, and promises made of a large number more. Mr. Mercer, the secretary, announced several dona tions to the library and museum. In the absence of Mr. H. S. Evans, Mr. Merc er read • a paper by that gentleman on several important articles presented by Messrs. Evans and Co., in which their characteristics and properties were fully ex plained. Mr. Abraham exhibited specimens of the new metal aluminum, and also sonic fine extract of senna, prepared in vacuo. Mr. Mercer showed ssspoon plated with aluminum by Mr. Atkinson, and also a piece of moulded artificial stone, lent by T. Chaffer, Esq. A conversation ensued on the several articles exhibited, after which the proceedings terminated. • GREAT FIRE IN ROCHDALE.—A very destructive fire broke out in Rochdale on Wednesday night, in the Vale Mills, George-street, occupied by Messrs. J. and S. Jennings, cotton 001 l Lomas. s coVe Th red e and w premises e T o h w e ne fi r r i e s w M a r s . fi t t Lo di m s a en re ma fou n r u s fac to t r ur ey ers s hig T h. l3 in the basement storey, but in less than 20 minutes the fallen .pre mises were enveloped in fl a mes, and the roof had in. Mr. Eccles, fire-brigade superintendent, seeing it was hopeless to attempt to save the buildings, directed his exertions topre vent the fire from spreading - to the mill of Messrs. Paigen and Co., which runs parallel with the rear of the burning pre mises, separated from them by a passage only 18 feet wide. In this undertaking they were successful. The damage done is estimated at £25,000, which will be covered by insurances. The cause of the fire is not yet.known. This is the third time these mills have been burned down, the first occasion being on New-Year's -day, 1852 ; the second on the 31st December, 1853. HEALTH COXHITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held on Thursday, Mr. Langsdale in the chair. The medical officer reported that the mortality of the borough for the week end ing Saturday last was greater than for several weeks previously. The deaths registered being 243, against an average of 213 in the same week of former years. 95 deaths were from diseases of the zymotic class, and of these 42 were from scarlatina (20 in Toxteth-park), 10 from typhus, 10 from hooping-cough,.9 from measles, 12 from diarrhoea, 4 from syphilis. A female aged 18 died of small-pox., having been vaccinated in infancy. From diseases of the lungs the deaths were 45. Of the total 243 deaths, 150 were below the age of five. The Town-clerk read a report of the sub-committee appointed to inquire into the subject of an extension of the boundaries of the borough. The sub-committee, after an interview with the committee of the council, had inspected the various districts, and recom mended generally an extension of the boundaries, the details of which were not yet completed. In reply to a question, the Chairman said that at present the production of the report was only a matter of form, no power to decide upon any plan being in the hands of the committee. After the despatch of some other business, thanks were voted to the chairman and deputy chairman (Messrs. Langsdale and Dover), for their ser vices during the past year, this being the last meeting of the committee. THE CHURCHES or THE Easr.—On Wednesday, Dr. Wolff, D.D., LL.D., delivered his second lecture on the above inte resting subject, in the upper room of the Teutonic-hall, Lime street. The attendance was numerous, and in addition to several ,of dour own clergymen, the Rev. Mr. Nicolaides, a Greek ecclesiastic, was present, accompanied by a number of his countrymen, who were evidently deeply interested by the revere nd doctor's observations. Resuming his descrip tion of the Greek Church, Dr. Wolff alluded, in warm terms, to his reception by the Greeks, both clergy and laity, and entered into a defence of that much -maligned nation. The persecution of the Greek Christians, and the tortures practised upon them by the Turks, were vividly portrayed. After again reverting, in terms of strong censure, to the in jurious influence of the Jerusalem bishopric, he proceeded to detail the working system of the Russian Church, and his sojourn at Sebastopol, Simpheropol, and Bakshi-Serai, and after pronouncing himself an advocate of civil and religious liberty, and appealing to the generous tolerance of his au dience, he entered into a truthful dissertation of the religious observances of Russia, their lights as well as their shades. The lecturer was loudly applauded throughout the whole of his observations, and those who were present derived a large fund of useful information. = THE NEW MARIET AT WARRINGTON.—LLYING THE FOUNDATION Smarm—This event took place on Thursday afternoon. Unfortunately, throughout the day, the weather was unfavourable, but before the hour appointed a large num ber of persons were in attendance to witness the ceremony. The corporation and their officers left the Council Chamber about half-past three o'clock, and proceeded, accompanied by the borough band, in procession to the site of the intended market. The arrangements for the accommodation of the ladies, to shelter them from the rain, as well as the other arrangements, were very satisfactory. The' ex-mayor, P. Rylands, Esq., chairman of the market committee, in an eloquent speech, requested the mayor to lay the foundation stone, as the most proper person to perform the ceremony.— The Mayor thanked Mr. Rylands for the kind manner in which he had been pleased to speak of his services, and the market committee and corporation, for honouring him by selecting him to discharge the duty of laying the foundation stone of their new market. During his fifteen or sixteen years' resi dence in Warrington, and nearly thirty years in the neighbour hood, he had frequently regretted that persons who attended the market to dispose of their agricultural produce were exposed to the pelting rain and scorching sun, and without a covering to protect them ; but he now felt delighted to tell his agricultural friends and neighbours that they would shortly be well and sufficiently protected in a good market. He trusted that amongst the many other benefits which would result from the present undertaking, it would have the effect of bringing the working classes into the market at an earlier hour on the Saturday night. There was not, he felt convinced, the slightest reason for delaying their marketing until eleven o'clock and later on the Saturday night, and he hoped the practice would be discontinued.—The Town-clerk explained the contents of the bottle placed under the foundation stone, and the ceremony having been performed, the Rev. Mr. Lowe, rector of St Paul's, offered a prayer, and the proceedings con cluded with cheers for the mayor and others.—On Thursday the mayor entertained to dinner, at the Lion Hotel , the mem bers of the corpora ti on , an d several gentlemen residing in the 7l eighbonrhood.—M anc h es t er Courier. nu British and North American Royal mail steamship Asia took her departure hence for Boston, on Saturday, with 170 passengers, a large cargo of dry goods, and the usual mails.

ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLIIR.—The annual ball by the members of this club is fixed for Wednesdny, the 21st of Nov. This year the Royal Infirmary is to be the institution benefited. Last year the club handed over upwards of £3BO to the Pa triotic Fund, but we must not expect so much from this ball, as on that occasion the supper and music were given. The lady patronesses are the Countess of Ellesmere, Mrs. Little dale, and Mrs. B. Heywood Jones. THE promoters of the association recently formed in this town for improving the dwellings of the poor, have chosen very eligible sites for building purposes, situated in Northum berland-street, rather more than a quarter-of-a-mile from the South, Docks, and near to a populous district. Designs, ap proved by the Health Committee, have been adopted, as con venient and economical, arranged for about forty cottages, in three separate stories, with an infant school adjoining, a wash house in the basement, and a drying-room in the attics, for the tenants. FALSE IMPRISONMENT.—At the Court of Passage, last week, before Mr. Edward James, the assessor, Martha Glaister, a young girl, brought au action against John Johnson, green grocer, Mill-street, Toxteth-park, for the recovery of money illegally withheld, and as damages for assault and false im prisonment. The plaintiff, who was a dressmaker, formerly assisted the defendant at one of his shops. In July last a ' friend of the plaintiff's placed in her hands the sum of £l9, which was found in her pocket by the defendant's wife. The defendant accused her of having stolen the money from his shop, and, without paying heed to her explanations, struck her, and then gave her into custody. On the facts of the case being satisfactorily explained to the police, she was dis charged. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the £l9 which had been taken from her, and £l2 10s. for the slander and false imprisonment. THE NEW EMIGRATION ACT.—An important case was heard before Mr. James Stitt and Mr. Thomas Sands, at the Police-court, on Wednesday, being the first information laid in this town under the provisions of the new emigration act. The prosecutor was commander Higgins, RN., assistant emigration officer at this port, and the defendant Louis Redlich, keeper of an emigrant lodging-house, No. 11, Slater street, which he calls the Black Ball. Hotel. He was sum moned for acting as a passenger broker without a license, but the circumstances embraced a charge of a far more serious nature. John Murray, an Irishman, stated that he engaged second-cabin passages for himself and his wife, from Mr. A. Alexander, Leman-street, Whitechapel, London, in the ship Aurora, of the Swallow-tail line, from Liverpool to New York, for which he was charged £25. He paid £l3 on account, but £2 was returned to him. It was arranged that he was to pay the balance of £l6 to the defendant, Louis Redlich, in Liver pool. He arrived here on Saturday and paid the balance to the defendant, also giving him £lO for railway and steamboat passages from New York to San Francisco. Here he learnt that he had been swindled, as the price of such passages as he had obtained (second-class) was only £4 each. He was advised to lay his case before the government officials, and he did so, the result being the present information. Mr. George Percival, passenger-broker, 134, Waterloo-road, deposed that Redlich obtained the two passages from him, paying him £8 for them. The magistrates convicted the defendant in the lowest penalty, namely £2O, ordering him to be kept in custody until the money should be paid. The bench also advised the prosecutor to come to some arrangement relative to the money out of which he had been swindled. Mr. Percival provided Murray with passages in another ship, in order that he might stay here to prosecute the defendant. In default of payment, Red lich will have to undergo three months imprisonment. LIVERPOOL FREE LIBRARY.—The third annual report of the Liverpool Free Library was issued on Thursday. It ap pears that during the last year, ending August 31, 100,607 hooks have been issued and returned, and in addition there have been on an average 110 readers a day of periodicals, making an average total of 462 works perused per day. The daily average of novel readers was 187; of miscellaneous literature, 156 ; of history and biography, 36; of geography, voyages, and travels, 16; of science and arts, 11; law and lipote li rat t re 2 , 1; copmu m ri e n ece g lbaendlasptolittwicalelveecmononomthys,BBl new books have been added by donation, and 3,285 by purchase, the total number in the library being 18,112.

FATAL APPRAY WITH POACHERS NEAR TRENTHAIL—An under-gamekeeper, named Goss, and an assistant or " watcher," named Salt, were, between 10 and 11 o'clock on Friday night, on land in the occupation of Mr. John Davenport, called the Waste Farm, the property of the? Duke of Sutherland, when they discovered a party of (it is believed seven) poachers. Goss and Salt, after concealing themselves for a time and watching the operations of the poachers, advanced towards them, and finding one man at a distance from his comrades, Goss captured him and handed him over to Salt. After a short struggle all the poachers but three ran away, and Goss, with his stick, was keeping up an unequal and desultory contest with them, when Salt came up to him. He then struck one of the men he was fighting with about the shoulder with his stick and knocked him down. He gave that man also in charge to Salt, and went after the others, but could not find them. On returning to the place where he left them, he saw Salt pursuing his prisoner down a long field. Salt overtook the man, and both fell, but the man got away a second time and ran, and Goss caught him. When he came up Goss struck the man on the back with his hand, and he fell. The man, while on the ground, said, " Oh, Lord ! Joe,. I-shall die ; feel my faee, it is all of a cold sweat." The keeper did feel his face, and found it in the state he described; also that his hands were cold. The man then complained of his leg, and Goss, on looking at it, discovered a serious wound on the upper part of the calf of the leg, which was bleeding copiously. It was found that the keeper's dog had been killed by some sharp instrument, and a large bowie knife, with hairs on the blade, believed to belong to the. de ceased, was found near the place. It is supposed 'that in stabbing the dog the deceased cut his leg, and the wound severing a main artery produced hremorrhage, which caused death. The name of the deceased was Charles Lees. He was a hatter in Longton, in the regular rezeipt of good wages. He has left a widow and three children.—Manchester Guardian. LIVERPOOL TowN Comm.—The following subjects will be taken into consideration at the .closing meeting of the Council, to be held at the Town-hall to-day :—The proceedings of the Finance Committee, comprising recommendation to advance the several. sums of £4,309, and £4,208, for the erec tion of permanent buildings required by Messrs.

Henry Brooks, conveying the thanks of himself and family for the sympathy expressed by the Council on the death of the late Archdeacon Brooks ; letter from Mr. J. Hopkins, Great Grimsby, requesting an impression of the Corporation seal ; and a letter from Mr. Wm. Brown, M.P., relative to his gift of £6,000 towards the erection of a build -1 ing for the Library and Museum ; the following motion, of which due notice has been given, by Mr. Councillor Wood ruff :—That it is expedient that the public be admitted to the meetings of the Council, under suitable regulations ; and that it be an instruction to the Law Courts and St. George's-hall Committee to report whether the concert-room, or some other room in St. ,George's-hall, can be made available for such meetings, and what accommodation can be provided for the public. INFORMATION UNDER THE PASSENGER ACT.--.On Wed- , nesday an investigation took place at the Police-court, before Messrs Aikin and Crosthwaite, relative to complaints preferred against the owners of the Marco Polo, by some of the third- class passengers, on her homeward voyage from Melbourne to this port. The witnesses were Frederick Augustus angles, of Dublin, linen-draper.; Alexander Leith, of Aberdeen, a miller; Frederick Hornick, a. Frenchman; and James Sharp, a drug gist. Their evidence Was to the effect that, during different - portions of the voyage, the flour was sour, and that, on one oc casion, the beef and pork were uneatable. They also com plained that, for forty-eight hours, a portion of the provisions were withheld from them, on their refusing to sign a book ac knowledging the receipt of their provisions. The main facts were not disputed, but, on cross examination, Mr. Forshaw elicited that the flour was only sour at intervals, that the other provisions were unexceptionable in quantity and quality, and that, when complaints were made to the captain as to the withholding bouilli by the purser, he ordered some to be given to them immediately. It was also proved that substitutes were given at times for provisions not in store, and that a portion of the provisions only were withheld for forty-eight hours. An extract was read from the official log, in which it was stated that the captain only required the passengers to sign for the provisions they actually received on board the ship. Mr. James Aikin said that it appeared to them that there had been.very unfounded complaints about the provisions on the voyage. From the evidence of the complainants, it appeared that the vessel was exceedingly well supplied, with the excep tions described. They would not express any opinion whether the plan was a good one that the passengers should be called upon to sign for the provisions received, but if it was a mutual arrangement entered into by both sides, no doubt it would be very beneficial for all parties. It did not appear that the captain required them to sign, but they began to do so at the commencement of the voyage, and continued to do so for some time. Then, for some reason not very well defined, they (the passengers) refused to sign. Upon this the captain stopped the issue of the provisions, and said to them, You have been signing all these times, and if you continue to sign, here are the stores for you." They (the magistrates) thought that the only error the captain had committed was in sus pending the issue of a portion of the provisions for the one day, For that fault they were inclined to think that he had sub jected himself to a penalty under the act of Parliament. They were quite disposed, under the circumstances, and considering the very few complaints that had been made to the captain during the voyage, to believe that the well -thinking portio n of the passengers would have been more inclined to have given praise to the captain for the manner in which he had acted than to take part hi such a proceeding. They thought that the captain had incurred a penalty, but they were also clearly of opinion that that penalty ought to be the smallest which the law allowed them to inflict, namely, Za. of.; / ID A tste a r i t . rt 4 n r tZ oe ~,4 1" 1:- e L 0 all ot , 'I I , O N Pie: 0 1 # /i ki et t : t i t 0 4 t I J. ; t i l e 11, 4 cc, lo Pa ki ' 1 41,,. tlrdvP 14; ( 1 / 2 '4 0 teet. to 1 I tt tli t :klitt /V t 0,1 o'e / P k 4 v#4, e e pi , ei t of 'I I % the th,c4lt th o 4 ,144 , /s ki."' 1 , ;i• ; J 0 1,4_ t t , rel in' 3' ta rts R 11 ' 1 114 1' 4 1 4) NP (11 '; Ijit4p ( ki t d I ltls,.Yeah, o,l 4 lz'eal v y r n go tat, 1, ts RR of 441 11 11' t 14 , 4 trt t b'reci Pt fore rs e , to 4 di In 4 4 4 'hat Nl° 4 ( ece o r , i . tt g Tcl* ; l d 1. 4 1'1 4 4i1111 : 30' L k i' t„ soc 41 lN °4 of ' e tt4e~~cit f a lt en 14' a.§ti t tp to 1 41 8 t i ;llgii•Zy bd t i °ol 41 0 41 t t Jry t pc, iti r „ A 10yl THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.

A DEVIDRND-MRETING was held in the Leeds Bankruptcy Court, last week, in the estate of Seaton, Brook, and Co., of Huddersfield, bankers, who failed in 1810, owing to losses arising out of the French Revolution of 1798. ELIZADETTI HOLLAND, the wife of a brass-founder at Sheffield, was accustomed to drop a few drops of aquqfortis into her tooth to cure its aching.

ELLIOT CRAIG, wood forester to the Earl of Galloway, was on Wednesday cutting up a cheese with a common clasp-knife, when the blade slipped and entered his thigh with such force as to cut the femoral artery, and in the course of an hour and a half he bled to death. THE SMOKE NursArrcE.— Leeds, in public meeting as sembled, has resolved upon a subscription of £l2O per annum for three years, for the purpose of abating the nuisance arising from smoke; and a subscription of £l2O per annum, for three years, for " giving premiums to those enginemen who shall, under difficult circumstances, consume their smoke in the most effective manner." AT DEWSBURY, a bell is tolled on Christmas-eve, as at a funeral, or in the manner of a passing bell ; and any one ask ing whose bell it was, would be told that it was the devil's knell. The moral of this is, that the devil died when Christ was born. The custom was discontinued for many years, but was revived by the vicar in 1828. Amongst the sweet bells of Dewsbury is the famous " Black Tom of Tothill," which is said to have been an expiatory gift for a murder.— Gloucestershire Chronicle. HUNTINGDONSHIRE ELECTION.—OR Tuesday, a special court was held for the purpose of electing a member for the county of Huntingdon, in the room of Viscount Mandeville, M.P., who has succeeded to the peerage as Duke of Man chester. It was thought that Mr. G. Game Day would have been put in nomination, but Mr. James Rust, of Alconbnry house, was returned without opposition. The new member is a Conservative. WORKHOUSE MANAGEMENT. —An inquest was held last week at Camden-town, London, on the body of Char lotte Young, aged sixty-six, who had died in St. Pancras workhouse. It appeared that the deceased, not being considered dangerously ill, was suddenly found to be, as the nurses supposed, dead ; but no medical man was called to ascertain if she really were dead, or might be in a fit ; that the deceased's son had been refused admission to see his mother, and roughly pushed out of the gate because his name was not down on the porter's slate that half the nurses were old and decrepid, and (as Mr. Waldegrave, assist ant parochial surgeon deposed), that "there was not a sober woman amongst the number.' WHOLESALE MURDERER.—John (alias Rocky) Whelan, a criminal recently executed in Tasmania, confessed, the day before his execution, to the following murders committed in the space of two months :—" 1. An elderly man, between Brown's River and North-west Bay. I shot him in the head, and robbed him. 2. A young man (I learned afterwards his name was Dunn), on the Huon track. 3. An elderly man at Bagdad, six on seven weeks ago. 4. A young man, on the Westbury-road, about a week after the last murder. I shot him in the head, and took awaya few shillings. 5. A hawker, near Cleveland, about three days before I was taken." The bodies of his victims were afterwards found where indicated. ECONOMICAL COOKERT.—M. Soyer writes home to the papers an account of his " Field Kitchen," invented for the army in the Crimea. He says of it, that each apparatus will contain a cauldron holding twelve gallons and a half. Two will easily cook for a company of 100, and even more, if re quired ; and both stoves can be carried by one mule, and loaded inside with sufficient dry wood for two days' consumption for a full company, whereas an additional quantity of fuel for one day's further consumption may be-carried outside between the apparatus on the animal's back. The weight would then be sixty pounds, under the entire charge of a mule. The saving of fuel is remarkable, being above eight-ninths. The stoves will also burn any kind of fuel, and are entirely free from smoke. The cooks employed in each company will have but a few pounds of fuel to saw and split, instead of several hun dreds, and the food will be much more nutritious by cooking in large quantities. When a regiment is stationary, four men with six assistant cooks may cook with ease for 1,000 persons." THE Leeds Intelligences. contains a report of a lecture to the working-classes of Bradford, by the Rev. J. P. Chown, - the subject being "Jack the Giant-Killer." The curious title ex cited such interest, that long before the hour of commencement the Temperance Hall W3S.trammed to overflowing :—The well known story of " Jack the Giant-Killer" was told in an ad mirable and amusing manner by the lecturer, and he then made the story a sort of moral through which to enforce the duty and wisdom of obtaining knowledge in abundance, as a means of removing giant evils and giant difficulties in the world—personal, social, and moral—eloquently enforcing his appeal by varied illustration. The lecture was, as usual in all Mr. Chown's efforts, received with great favour by - the au dience, and is to be repeated. SINGULAR Csrsavoz.—The' Rev. Dr. Vaughan, incumbent of St. Matthew's, Brixton, is charged by a printed and circu lated report drawn up by a committee, and adopted by a meet ing of his parishioners, with permitting burials in the church yard, in opposition to the Metropolitan Burial Act, illegally exacting double fees for burials, falsifying the books with I reference to the same, and to the residences of the persons buried, and accounting only for the single fee to - the church wardens. The following is one of the cases mentioned in the committee's report :—" Jane Webb, of Park-place, Park-road, Clapham,..buried-in June, 1855 ; -double fees charged by the Rev. Mr. Vaughan and paid to %him, including 12s. for the double ground fee, , but the single fee, Os., only entered in the rough-book, and the moiety of that sum, 3g paid to the churchwardens ; the entry in the registry - boo k, in Dr. Van ghan's handwriting, falsely described the place of residence of the deceased as of Acre-lane, which is in St. Matthew's dis trict." There has been for some time great ill-feeling amongst the parishioners against the rev. doctor, and the grounds of the present charges have been found out at the suggestion of a disappointed candidate for the-office of clerk. At the meet ing which came together to bear the report, a Mr. Prior stated that there mere many cases of a similar nature which had been brought to the attention of the committee, and he observed that by the act of parliament the making of a false entry in the registry-book was a felony, punishable by trans portation for fourteen years. " This intimation of the possible fate of their pastor," says the report in the Daily News, " seemed to delight the majority of the audience, who received it with vociferous cheering." Resolutions were also carried authorising the committee to take legal proceedings, and to get up a subscription for that purpose. A SIEGE IN Yoaicsniivz.—An extraordinary and disgrace ful scene has been enacted at Millhouses, a village near Sheffield. There are two rival owners of a house, one being a surgeon named Whitehead, who had been absent for a long time in America, the other a silversmith, named Oldale. The latter gentleman, immediately on the tenant quitting last week, sent a dozen men to the house, who took possession in his name. Next day Mr. 'Whitehead sent a party of men, and between them and those in the house a contest took place, Mr. Oldale's party being victorious. The men in possession armed themselves with guns, pistols, daggers, knives, and bludgeons ; and at night the doors were barricaded inside, while heaps of missiles, such as bricks and large stones, were placed near the up-stairs windows, ready to be thrown on the expected be siegers. The second assault took place at two o'clock-on Friday morning. The attacking party, about twenty men, armed principally with heavy sticks, proceeded en mane to the house, and 'began forcing their way into the premises. The besieged party seemed to have been lulled into carelessness by delay in the attack, and being well supplied with drink, were most of them fast buried in drunken slumber. The number that was opposed to the besiegers was, therefore, small ; but these few opposed the entrance of the besiegers with all the weapons and missiles they could collect, and .a hand-to-band fight took place. Guns were fired; one,among the besieging party had his head aeverely cut by a treepot which was thrown from the window .above, and another belonging to the party in pos session also had his head cut. The battle ended in the triumph of the invaders. Meanwhile, the men who were asleep woke up, and set fire to the straw in which they had been sleeping. The fire was put out before it had done any serious damp, and the besieged party having been utterly routed, the in vaders triumphantly took possession. " Their numbers," says the local paper, "have been largely reinforced, and the house is now occupied by a party of from forty to fifty as rough and reckless fellows as can be found in Sheffield. Half a-dozen policemen have been sent to the spot, to prevent a breach of the peace ; but if another fight were to be com menced, these constables would be utterly incapable of taking any effectual measures to stop it." ' SCARCITY OF SAILORS IN THE UNITED STATES.—One of the greatest impediments to our commercial prosperity and supremacy is a lack of seamen to navigate our ships. This want is always felt with peculiar severity whenever there is an extraordinary demand for shipping, such as exists at the present time, and no successful plan has yet been conceived by our Government or merchants to obviate it. The appren tice system has not been tried to any extent, but unless some means can be discovered for making boys willing to serve as apprentices, and then to make them satisfied to go to sea, when they could better themselves by remaining on shore, the apprentice system could never be of any service. At the pre sent time sailors are very difficult to be obtained at any price, and one of the Liverpool packets lay in the stream three days this week, waiting for a complement of men to navigate her. The wages paid are very high, at the rate of sixty dollars a-month: for, although the nominal wages are but twenty dollars a-month, ,yet, as the sailors demand two months' pay in advance, and desert as soon as they arrive in port, it makes the wages amount to fifty to sixty dollars a-month. The Baltimore Board of Trade have recently published their an nual report, iu which they recommend the establishment in that city of a " Floating School," in which boys can be in structed in the art of seamanship, and a nursery for sailors created. But this plan is only a modification of the several naval apprentice systems which have been heretofore sug gested, but none of which have ever been carried into effect. As nearly all healthy boys have a natural inclination to run away from school and become Robinson Crusoes, it may seem somewhat remarkable that sailors should be so scarce in a country like ours, where all labour is honourable, and the paths of promotion are free to all competitors. The great difficulty, we believe, lies in the fact that sailors are an excep tionable class; th e i r occupation is not, in its lower stages , an honourable one, and hence it is shunned by the well-behaved and ambitious youths of the country. The fault of this lies, in a great measure, with the system on which our navy is conducted. England found it necessary in war time to man her fleet by the iniquitous system of impressment, and France applies the conscription to her marine as well as to her land forces. But in this country we cannot avail ourselves of either of these systems, and we have had to resort to the temptations of bounties and high wages, which England has had to resort to in manning the Baltic fleet. But the only plan by which we can ever hope to man our national ships with American sailors, and to provide a surplus of seamen for our merchant ships, is by throwing open the line of promotion from the ranks, infusing an esprit du corps into the service which shall pervade the entire crews, and make the occupation of the sailor an honourable one. When this shall be done, there will no longer be any difficult y about procuring seamen, and our ships would be as superior in their manage ment to tho s e of other nations as they are now in their build. The recent action of the " Retiring Board" shows that, under the present system of officering our navy, a contingent of useless drones and pensioned incapables is the result. No thing worse could be anticipated from the democratic plan of opening the line of promotion in the navy as it exists is the civil service.—New York Daily Times. THE Edinburgh Review, in an article on the "Results of the Campaign," L recommends an early dissolution of Parlia ment. _ _ _ _ A SIIN-FISTI, measuring sft. 4in. by sft.

Mr. Digby Seymour, Mr. Hartley, and Mr. Charles Alcock, have been named as probable candidates. ON the 17th, the King of Prussia gave a dinner at which A. von Humboldt, the statuary Rauch, the artist Schadow, and Dr. Barth were present. CHARLES SIMPSON, a postman, was sentenced to six years' penal servitude on Wednesday, at the London Central Criminal Court, for letter-stealing. A BILL -STICKER in London has been fined Z 5, or three months' imprisonment, for selling the bills given to him to post, as waste paper. It appears the offence is not uncommon. TIIE Moniteur Alyerien, of the 15th instant, announces that the wandering tribes are now beginning to build and plant, and that they have entered into an arrangement with some contractors for the construction of houses at the price of 3,500 f. each. NUMEROUS robberies have of late been perpetrated at the British Museum, and other places of public resort, by an elegantly-attired woman, aided by male accomplices, who act as foils, and receive the produce of their dexterity. Tan trial of Isabella Mary Jolley, for the alleged murder of her mother, at Knightsbridge, on the 15th of August, took place at the Central Criminal Court, London, on Wednesday, and resulted in the acquittal of the prisoner, the judge (Mr. Baron Alders* expressing his concurrence in the verdict. BAD NEWS OP THE WHALE Ftsmrr.—A telegraphic des patch has been received in Dundee, stating that a ship had passed Aberdeen with the intelligence that all the ships that had gone to Davis' Straits were clean on the 19th Sept., except the Abram of Kirkcaldy, which had two fish.—Dundee Ad vertiser. Join; LAWN, aged 16, of Gwennap, Cornwall, shot his brother, a child three years of age, a few days ago. It seems that a loaded gun had been carelessly left in the kitchen ; the boy, not knowing it was loaded, took it up and pulled the trigger, when the charge went off and entered the child's breast. Death took place within a quarter-of-an-hour after wards. SACRILEGE.—Some sacrilegous ruffians have entered the parish church at Seaham, taking away in mere wantonness the large iron chest containing the parish records, and tumbling it into the Dene. The only booty of which the thieves possessed themselves was half a bottle of sacramental wine, which they appear to have drank on the spot. The sacramental plate— no doubt the chief object of their search—was not kept iu the church. THE Observer, speaking on official authority, estimates the number of British troops now in the Crimea at 50,000 ; men, namely, 33,000 infantry, 9,000 artillery, 6,000 cavalry, and the Engineers, Sappers, Transport Corps, and other exceptional bodies. To these must be added 80,000 French, 15,000 Sar dinians, 36,000 Turks, and 20,000 of the Turkish Contingent. This gives a total of 200,000 mess, without counting the Bashi- Bazouks, or the German Legion now on its way to the Crimea . EXTRAORDINARY CABE. —Two swindlers, who gave their names John and Alfred Jones, were apprehended and commit ted to Maidstone gaol, last week, on a charge of conspiring to defraud. Here, however, it was discovered that one is a woman ; she declares herself to be the other prisoner's wife, and, if so, the charge in its present form must fall to the ground, a " conspiracy" being legally impossible between man and wife. There are, however, other charges against them. OLD ALMANACS As GOOD AS NEW.—By a strange coinci dence, which will not occur again for a long time, the new year of 1855 commenced on the same day as in 1849, and consequently all through the year the date will be on the same day. But what is more singular is, that all the moveable holydays, from Septuagesima to Advent, fall on the same dates and the sames days. The almanacs of 1849 might, therefore, serve for the present year.—New York Journal of Commerce. - - ..... - FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDEST.—A dreadful accident occurred on Sunday morning at four o'clock, on the Lyons railway, between Thomery and floret. The express train, which left Lyons the evening before at seven o'clock, overtook a cattle train that preceded it. The collision was terrible ; the three last carriages of the cattle train, one of which (the second last) contained the drovers to the number of 26, were completely smashed; 16 persons were killed ; three danger ously wounded ; and three others received contusions. SUICIDE IN A BRIDAL CRAMBER.—Miss Clara Haskins was found dead in her bridal dress and chamber near Natchez, Mississippi, on the 2nd ult. After being dressed by her bridesmaids she requested them to retire for a short time, and when they returned they found her lying lifeless upon her conch, with an empty vial which had contained prussic acid, still clasped in her hand. She had adopted the desperate alternative of self-destruction rather than marry a man she could not love, in obedience to parental authority.— Washing ton Intelligencer. ALICE Gazr.—A pretty and artless-looking girl, who has assumed a variety of names, but is chiefly known as " Alice Grey," is in custody, at Wolverhampton, on a charge of swindling. Her mode of operations,—a novel and ingenious one,—consists in charging some person with having robbed her, and, though she generally loses her cause, she contrives to work upon the sympathies of the magistrates and other judicial officials so as in most instances to secure a liberal sum for her " expenses." She has frequently visited Liverpool in the course of her professional rambles. Hoitsa-alcint AT ALGIERS.—The annual horse-races at , Algiers came off about ten days ago at that city, and excited considerable interest amongst the native population. Not fewer than 510 horses ran for the different stakes, and paid entries. The horses belonged chiefly to aghas, caids, and cheikhs. The result of the races was to prove the superiority of the southern breeds of horses : thus, horses for the sub division of Medeah won 18 stakes ; from that of Milianah, Id ; and from that of Aumale, 10; whilst the horses of Or leansville only won 3, and those of Algiers 2. A LION AT LAILOE.—The population of the Croix-Rousse at Lyons. assembled in the Grand Place, a few days ago, for the annualfrte, were astonished to see a huge lion, which had escaped from a travelling menagerie, advance calmly towards them. They fled in every direction ; but the lion, taking no notice, continued his promenade to a place called Les 'lapis, and there suddenly leaped on to a poor donkey, which was tied to a post, and, with one grip of his teeth, killed him. The king of the forest then calmly placed himself on the ground near his victim, and, after a while, allowed himself to be conveyed back to the menagerie by his keepers.—Galignani. MIID AT A PREAtirm.—The Stamford Mercury, advert ing to the cleansing out of the river Brayford, says :—"Th men get-out 200 tons of rich soil daily, or 1,200 tons weekly and it is turned into the diggings to fill up the swamp. One person has offered Is. per ton for 4,000 tons, another the same price for 1,000, and another the same price for 700—all to put on land, as it forms very superior manure. A farmer who put 2,000 tons on some land some years since, states that the land has not yet forgotten it. This is the same person who now wants 4,000 tons. The cost of getting the stuff out is £25 weekly, and 1,200 tons at Is. per ton would realise M— a profit of £35 weekly. After this demonstration it is to be hoped that rivers will be kept constantly cleansed of mud." Two recent extraordinary accidents to infants may be men timed. DorothiTaylor, at Pclton Fell, near Durham, pu her child to sleep in a cradle, and some time after found i dead. A cat belonging to the family brought forth a litter of kittens in the cradle, and, from the marks on the child's night dress, had evidently lain across its throat and mouth, pro ducing suffocation. Harriet Tovey, of Elinstone, Hardwicke, was spending a day at a relation's in Cheltenham, and took her child with her. She slept downstairs in a turn-up bed stead with the child, and got up the following morning, leaving her child in bed. Some other person happening to come into the room in the absence of the mother, turned up the bedstead. When the mother returned she pulled the bed down, and found the child quite dead. TRADE OP PARIS.—The trade of Paris continues to suffer from the restrictive measures adopted by the Bank of France. The refusal of that establishment to rescind its resolution respecting bills above seventy-five days, has created consider able discontent, particularly in the departments. The diffi culty of making returns induces merchants to operate with extreme prudence. The restrictions of the Bank might have occasioned a very serious crisis at the end of the year, had not the merchants observed a great reserve amid the important transactions produced by the Universal Exhibition. Manu facturers fortunately limited their credit as much as possible, and there is no danger that the increase in the rate of dis count will he attended with any extensive catastrophes. RUSSIAN ABSENTEES.—Measures of great severity have just been ordered by the Czar against those who continue to reside abroad. In Livonia, the estates of several noblemen who reside abroad have been placed under guardianship, although their term of permission has not expired. Accord ing to a communication lately made to the authorities, the Emperor is determined to put an end to the mania of ab senteeism on the part of the Russian nobles. In case of any landowner remaining abroad without leave, the tribunals will manage the estates, and render an account of the revenues to the owners for one year, at the expiration of which term the estates, if the owners still remain abroad, will be con fiscated, unless particular circumstances can be brought forward to justify a longer delay being granted. NEARLY BURIED ALlVE.—Thegianger of too rapid inter ment was exemplified in a very extraordinary manner in this town during the last week. A young man, who had been suf fering from malignant fever, to all appearance, died on Tues day morning. To avoid the danger of infection which might arise from a corpse remaining in the house all night, a coffin was immediately commenced, the certificate of death sent for, and urgent application was made to the incumbent of a church in one of our suburbs to allow the corpse to be interred the same evening. This, however, he declined, considering the proceeding too hasty, but consented to the interment taking place on the following morning. The result proved the pro priety of the delay ; the grave was dug, and the coffin ready, but the dead man in the course of the night gave signs of re turning animation, and at the hour fixed for his burial was in the comfortable enjoyment of a cup of coffee, which he had asked for, w ith every prospect of recovery.— 11"akej ield.lo rna 1 RUSSIAN POLITENESS.—The following is a letter from the' Grand Duke Constantine to Lieutenant Maury. We learn that the Russian minister yesterday waited on Lieutenant Manry, at the National Observatory, to deliver, by command of his government, an autograph letter from the Grand Duke Con stantine, who, it will be remembered, is the Commander-in- Chief of the Russian navy. This letter is written in French ; but, under the belief that many of our readers will derive as much pleasure from its perusal as we have done, we give pub licity to a translation of it :—" St. Petersburgh, Dec. 10 (22), 1854.—T0 Lieutenant Maury.—Sir,—lt is now a long time since the eminent scientific works for which navigators of every nation are indebted to your zeal and your talents attracted my attention. Recently again the imperial delegates to the Brussels conference have rendered me a complete report, in which I have taken the most lively interest. I should rejoice, sir, to present you with a testimonial of my esteem; but, knowing the laws of your country, which do not permit you to accept any thing from foreign princes, I must confine my self to the expression of my sentiments. They are as exalted as your own merits ; and in my official capacity I must say to you that you do honour to the profession to which you belong, as well as to the great nation which you have the honour to serve. Receive, sir, the assurance of my goodwill and esteem. —CONSTANTINE.".--This is a high but deserved compliment to Lieutenant Maury, who, we feel well convinced, has been relieved from active duty in the navy that he may be perma nently retained in his present exalted 4 an- responsible position as chief of the National Observatory, where his services in the cause of science and nautical improvement will be more im portant and valuable to his country and the world than they would probably prove, however eminent they might be, in any other position.— Wairhington National Intelligences. THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT is sending out to the Criame many casks of fresh meats, preserved in their own juice, with out desiccation, by a process newly submitted to that Govern ment. IN consequence of the large number of prisoners in Win chester gaol, it is expected that there will be an extra assize held in that city in the first week in December. The South ampton murder will be then tried. GOLD IN THE WEST INDIES. —The Journal des Debats gives the following extract from the West Indian paper Les Antilles, which, if true, promises another Australia or Cali fornia, and that near the supposed site of Sir Walter Ra leigh's El Dorado There has just been discovered in Cayenne, on the banks of the river Appronagne, a gold mine of almost fabulous richness, which does not yield in anything to those of California. According to the specimens now lying before us,— que nous avons sous les yeux,—we cannot doubt this important disco v e r y, w hi c h p rom i ses t o revolutionize our poor Cayenne." EXPLOSION IN WOOLWICH ARSENAL.—On Thursday, at half-past one, p.m., an explosion took place in the fusee de partment of the oyal Arsenal at Woolwich, but no loss of life resulted. A considerable quantity of prepared fuses had been collected, and deposited in the drying-house. The men and boys employed there had not returned from dinner when the explosion occurred. The only person injured was a police man, whose beat was on that spot, and who was suddenly em bedded in a portion of the ruins. His injuries, although severe, are not of a dangerous nature. The drying-room, it appears, was heated by steam conveyed through the building by means of various pipes, but how the accident occurred has not been discovered. The fire was speedily quenched, and the amount of damage was very light, considering the amount of combustible matter collected there. HER MAJESTY'S JUDGES IN THE RURAL DISTRICTS.— The anniversary of the Broadhembury Agricultural Association was celebrated on Monday last week, and the interest of the proceedings was enhanced by the presence of Mr. Baron Alderson (who was spending the vacation with his relative, Mr. Drewe, of the Grange), and Mr. Justice Pattison, who resides in the locality. The learned baron had the toast of " The Judges of Ploughing" confided to him, and he proposed it in a facetious speech, in the course of which he alluded to a portly agriculturist named Pyle, who was one of the judges, and said that that worthy gentleman had a particular claim on him, inasmuch as he had told him (the learned baron) that he had become a " judge of the land" 25 years ago, at the same time that Mr. Baron Alderson had commenced his judi cial duties. Farmer Pyle, in responding, rejoiced at the fra ternising spirit of the learned baron, but said there was a difference between the two, " and that difference," exclaimed the sturdy farmer, slapping his breeches' pocket, " is here." This amusing retort excited considerable laughter. MURDER IN BELGIUM.—A mysterious murder, to which no clue has been obtained, was perpetrated a few days ago, on the person of Madame d'Ennetieres, wife of the marquis of the same name, from whom she lived separated, at her country mansion of Sominerghem, near Ghent. The unfortunate lady, whose only daughter, an immensely rich heiress, is married to Count Octave d'Outrelmont, and allied, through the wealthy marquis, to many of the first noble families, appears to have been assassinated with some blunt instrument during the brief interval that her demoiselle de compagnie quitted her apart ment. On the return of the latter she saw an individual in the act of committing the crime, but, being overcome with terror, she flew to an upper storey, where she opened a window, and called to the watchmen of the mansion for assistance. Upon their arrival the crime had been consummated, and the perpetrator had disappeared. According to the accounts given by the local journals, the marchioness had no other domestics or attendants with her at her country mansion than the demoiselle de compagnie. As no robbery was committed, the murderer is supposed to have been actuated by revenge, and suspicion has therefore fallen upon discharged servants. AGE ASSURANCE COMPANY.—The fourth annual meeting of the shareholders of this company was held last week, at their offices in Chancery-lane, London, the Rev. Geo. Roberts in the chair. The report, which was of a very satisfactory character, stated that during the past year the premium ac count, exclusive of half-yearly and quarterly premiums accru ing, amounted to £6,325 I.ls. ed. • and the income derivable from polices actually in force, to £7,629 75. 3d. The directors, in order to bring to a close, as nearly as possible, the expenditure arising from the formation of branches, and the agency ma chinery of the company, had thought it advisable to clear off all outstanding accounts connected with those subjects; and although the liquidation thus accomplished would necessarily make the outlay of the year in appearance heavier than usual, yet the fact was, a large reduction had been effected in the working of the chief office, while the cost, now defrayed, of placing the branches throughout the country upon a firm foot ing might be considered in the light of capital permanently invested for profitable returns. The directors had the satis faction of assuring the shareholders that no company of equal standing could show a better foundation for progressive and complete success. The outlay, on the whole, might seem to be considerable, but it bad secured the formation of an estab lishment wherein all materials had been provided, and every facility afforded, for carrying out the most enlarged plans for obtaining an extensive and lucrative business. CONCORDAT aETWEEN AUSTRIA AN D THE POPE OF ROME. —The articles of the concordat between Rome and Austria have been published. They accord, amongst other things, the right of full and unrestrained liberty of commu nication, in things spiritual and ecclesiastical, between Rome and the prelates and clergy of Austria. To the latter they grant the right of issuing such ordinances and instructions on ecclesiastical matters as seems suitable to them ; to the bishops to name their vicars-general, to grant or refuse the collection of orders, erect benefices, change parishes, prescribe pilgrimages, funeral ceremonies, conv o k e an d pu bli s h t h e acts of synods, &c. The bishops are to direct the reli gious instruction in all schools, and an ecclesiastical inspector is to be appointed to each. They have also the right to prohibit books contrary to religion and morals, and the civil government promises to lend them main forte to prevent the publication of such. Purely civil cases respecting ecclesiastics are to be judged before civil tribunals, as also criminal cases ; but in the latter case previous notice is to be given to the bishop. The government has the right to present bishops to the Pope for institution ; but for the choice he must previ ously take the advice of the bishop of the province. In cathedral churches the Pope nominates the first dignitary, the Emperor the others. The conventual bodies may com municate freely with their superiors at Rome, and the latter may visit all religious houses. The reception of novices, and the formation of new convents by the bishops is allowed, with the consent of government. The Roman Catholic Univers appears highly satisfied with the result obtained, and declares the news to be the " preoccupation of all Germany and the joy of Catholics." " The words," it continues, " with which the concordat opens—' The Holy See accords to his Majesty the right,' &c.—exalt in the eyes of angels and men the apostolical empire and the young Emperor, Here, again, we have an evidence of the labours of Mary the Immaculate for the pacification of a people who always venerated, with a peculiar predilection, the august privilege of the Mother of God. May the example of the Emperor Francis Joseph not be lost upon other kings and governments." NaNSLI.UORTER BY A PIT - OWNER.—The locality of Ketley has presented a scene of great excitement for several days, in consequence of the death of a pit man, name d Samuel Higley, through the violence of a chartermaster, of the name of William Vaughan. Some of the men below refused to work ; Vaughan, who was above, then came to the mouth of the pit and shouted down the shaft to know if the men intended to work or not. They answered "No." He then asked them if they were coming up. They answered "Yes." He said, " Then, if you do, I'll kill you." The men at this time seem to have entered the doubles, ready to be drawn up. Reiterat ing his inquiry whether they were going to remain in the pit or not, and receiving the same rejoinder as before, Vaughan now became unconquerably furious with p ass i on, an d , se i z i ng an immense " slab' of timber, hurled it down the pit shaft. The men below heard the slab coming thundering down the shaft, and five of them succeeded in making their escape; but one man, named Rigley, could not disentangle himself from the chains and get clear of the basket at the bottom of the shaft before the immense piece of timber reached him, striking him on the back, and inflicting the most frightful injuries. The men shouted up to Vaughan that he had killed a man. Vaughan seems to have been immediately seized with a paroxysm of fear and remorse, dancing about, tearing his hair and clothes in a frantic manner. lie then ran away. The deceased was a young married man, aged 21, and his first child is only five months old. The coroner's jury returned a ver dict of "Manslaughter" against Vaughan, and he was com mitted for trial at Salop Assizes.— liTolrerhampfon Chronicle. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHWARIL—At a late hour on Tuesday, the following address from Admiral Sir Charles Napier was extensively circulated, and posted throughout the borough :—" To the electors of Southwark. The lamented death of your late representative, Sir William Molesworth, has again caused a vacancy in the representation of South wark; at the late election I abstained from going to the poll, thebee been i s m o e f i o t r ea pr t e o p cheerfully accede to, and announce m y i n t en ti on o f thi s ti me ara going to the poll, fe e li ng sa ti s fi e d th a t th e e l ec t ors o f th e l arge o t a i ? n m l y l s a e v l i f n and important borough of S ou th war k, t o w h om my sen ti ments g to be b i e t eo ig m so e a sh c o a r n t d . ida l t l e m , v lN e ,h ar ch in l arc so well known, will o n thi s occas i on d o me th e h onour o f electing use as their representative. I object to a p ersonal canvass, thinking that every electo r s h ou ld exercise Ins right of voting unswayed itud unbiassed, and the only expenses I will be put to will be those necessary to the poll. I shall, however, have pleasure in attending any district meeting where my presence may be required, and if the electors ap prove of my sentiments they will send me to parliament; if not, they will choose a better man. This is the way, in my opinion, elections should be conducted, especially in the me tropolis." Mr. Scovell, of ScovelPs Wharf, is also a can didate. Sir S. M. Peto has declined to be put in nomination for this borough, and a requisition is to be presented to Alder man and Sheriff Kennedy, who, it is thought, will at once consent to come forward. It is also in contemplation to pre sent a requisition to Mr. John Thwaites, a woollen-draper, of High•street, Southwark, who is very popular in the borough. On Thursday, Sir C. .Napier addressed a meeting of the elec tors, and was enthusiastically received. The contest will most probably be between Sir C. Napier and Mr. Scovell. SERIOUS MUTINY.—A serious outbreak has occurred at the Horrid(' Barracks, near Bristol. These barracks are occupied partly as the depot of the Land Transport Corps, and partly by a portion of the Royal Artillery. Owing to the system recently adopted of recruiting from the different regiments of Militia into the Land Transport service, a number of fresh men have been constantly arriving. On Wednesday morning a number of recruits came b steam-packet from the Galway militia, and were marched rom the Hotwells, where they landed, to the barracks. When they came to ask for the pro mised bounty of £5, they were told that their outfit would have to be deducted from it. At this they became dissatisfied, and insisted that £5 they had enlisted for, and £5 they would have. The sergeant remonstrated and threatened them with the guard room, upon which they commenced an attack upon him, and, it is said, knocked him down. The officers then came from their quarters and attempted to restore discipline, , but without effect, as th e insubordinate recruits attacked them, tore the or naments from their coats, and arming them selves with stones f rom t h e great exercise yard, threw them in thick volley s a t t h e officers who , seeing the po s ition in p which they were placed, and apprehending a serious outbreak , called upon the artillery officers for assistance.
