It appeared, from the accounts of the treasurer, that during the last year, the amount paid by the overseers was £l6O, which had all been expended ; and there was a balance of 19s. 7d. due to the treasurer. It was ordered that £lBO should be collected for the ensuing year, being equivalent to a rate of in the pound upon the assessable property in the township. The meeting then proceeded to, the appointment of inspectors, Mr. Pritchard, the chairman, having announced' his inten tion of retiring, and there being two other vacancies. Mr. J. H. Bailey, Mr. R. E. Gorst, and Mr. Henry Pat tinson were elected, after considerable discussion, the other inspectors being Messrs. C. Woodcock, E. Lewis, and John Robinson ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OF PATENT.—III the Vice. Chancellor's Court, last week, Mr. Laird, of Birken head, applied for an injunction to restrain the lessees of the Rock Ferry from plying with the steamer Nymph, which he alleged had been constructed in accordance with an invention of his, arid an infringement of his patent. One of the imp , ovements for which Mr. Laird obtained a patent related to a mode of supplying two rudders, one at each end, to a steam or other vessel, with an iron guard passing from the deck of the vessel down to the keel, and attached to each rudder, for the purpose of protecting it. It was alleged that the defendants first aprlied to the plaintiff to know the nature of his improvement for the protection of rudders ; and afterwards, without further communicating with him, had a vessel constructed in ac cordance with his invention.—Sir J. Parker said the ques tion of the infringement of the patent must be decided by a jury. The motion must, therefore, stand over until the result of an action at law should be known, the defend ants undertaking to keep an account of the receipts and expenditure of the vessel, and to submit to any order the court might make as to the compensation, if any, to be made by them to the plaintiff in respect of the acts com as to the mode of ascertaining lained of in the such compensation THE GRAND ORANGE LODGE OF IRELAND, From Ireland we have a very important document, which is peculiarly appropriate at the present crisis,—an address of the Grand Orange Lodge to the Protestants of the empire. It is signed by the Earl of Enniskillen, the Grand Master, and its ladguage is at once firm, tempe rate, and convincing. It commences with an expression of regret at the death of the former Grand Master of the Lodge, the King of Hanover, and pays a just tribute to his gallantry as a soldier, and his consistency and honour as a man and a politician. The document then earnestly urges the importance of taking adequate steps to frustrate the audacious designs of the Papists, and shows that the act of Parliament passed last session was totally inadequate for the purpose; indeed, that its provisions are either evaded or defied, that the Provincial Synod of Thurles have a re gularly-organized system for the propagation of Popery, and that titles are assumed by Roman Catholic bishops, without any effectual opposition or resistance. The address insists that there will be dancer to the Empire, if Papal intrigues be not frustrated, and reiterates the former view taken by the Lodge that there should be a further inquiry into those intrigues. • It says—" Our address of November last year was issued at a time when the empire at large had been stimulated into an excite ment and exasperation which have not yet subsided : we need not name the cause. At that time, we ventured to advise that the Protestant people of Great Britain and hot a few days ago Ireland should petition the legislature for inquiry into the papal system, as an indispensable pre-requisite to salutary legislation. Events have confirmed us in our opinion ; and we repeat the counsel we last year offered. Despotic monarchies may meet aggressions as they arise; but where the government is representative and free, there can be no less the character of the system, from which danger proceeds, be thorowlily ascertained and exposed. Thu Protestants of Great Britain—indeed, we might say the Roman Catho lics—have not adequate knowledge of the system we have so much reason to dread. We again recommend a call for innuiry r, Sussex Niger I Lord 33 gulp inner of th, arplus t latter ha •equenters of I a' tr offers again passed upon Sir George Grey, who, in 1850, refused to present the loyal address of the body to the Queen, although, with characteristic incon sistency, he had presented to her Majesty a similar ad dress only two years previously, and could adduce nothing to justify his refusal bnt an obsolete resolution of the House of Commons, passed at a period of excitement, fourteen years ago. In conclusion the address condemns the annual grant to the Roman Catholic College of May nooth, and asks,—" Is it not a grievous anomaly and wrong, that the British nation, even in the person of the .xeign, and in the coronation oath, shall swear that the Aigion of the Church of Rome is idolatrous and damnable, and that, notwithstanding such a declaration, it shall con- PUTED RACE AT WARWICK.—As the decision of the tribute from the public funds largely to the support of the 'as, according to the Warwick articles, to be "final," idolatrous religion ?

OPENING OF THE NEW COURTS Mr. Baron Parke and Mr Justice Erle arrived in Liver pool on Saturday, about three o'clock. Mr. Justice Erle immediately proceeded from the Lime-street-station to the new Assize Courts, there to. open the commission. The Nisi Prius Court was that in which the first commis tion of assize beneath the roof of St. George's-hall was opened. Amongst those present were Mr. Thos. Littledale, the Mayor, Mr. J. B. Lloyd, Mr. Alderman Parker, Mr. J. H. Turner, Mr. W. J. Horsfall. the Town-clerk, Deputy Town-clerk, and others. The judge was attended by the Sheriff, Mr. Thos. Percival Heywood. Mr. E. G. H. H. Gibbs. the Governor of Kirkdale Goal, was also present. On Sunday their lordships, attended by the Sheriff, the Mayor, .and other officials, went in the usual state to St. George's Church, where the sermon was preached by the chaplain from the 3rd chap. of Colossians, Verse 17. YESTERDAY. Yesterday morning, the Judges, attended by'the Mayor in his state carriage, went in procession to St. George's Hall to despatch the business of the commission. St. Anne-street and Islington were a good deal crowded, and much curiosity was manifested. Their lordships (Mr. Baron Parke and Mr. Justice Erie) entered St. George's llall at the north end, and were received by the members of the Corporation, magia trates, and others. The court was crowded with magistrates, town coun cillors; solicitors, officials, and many of the most respec table inhabitants. A number of ladies occupied a kind of balcony under the noble arch which surmounts the end of the court opposite the balcony. The following gentlemen attended the opening of the Courts as a deputation from the Liverpool Law Society, on the invitation of the Mayor :—Mr. G. B. Carter, pre sident ; Mr. Wro. Wareing, vice-president ; Mr. E. Banner, hon. sec. ; and Messrs. Bell, Curry, Carsbn. Davenport, Deane, Duncan, Eden, Falcon, Harvey, Has sall, Lowndes, Lace, Leather, Norris, Nott, Payne, and Shackleton. Soon after eleven o'clock Mr. Baron Parke and Mr. Justice Erle took their seats upon the bench, accompa nied by the High Sheriff, the Mayor, Lord Sefton, Mr. Cardwell, M.P., &c. &c. The following gentlemen were then sworn to serve upon THE GRAND MJRY. John Pemberton Heywood, Esq., foreman, Norris Green, Frederick Bateman, Esq , Man'cliester. Thomas 13irley, Esq., Brown House. Robert Barnes, Esq., Manchester. James Bourne, Esq.,, Heatlifield Hous-r, George Cooke,'Esq:, Manchester, Thomas Earle, Esq., Allerton.

After the usual proclamation against viceand immorality, Mr. Baron PARKE addressed the Grand Jury. The learned Judge said that he felt great satisfaction in being the first judge to preside in that building, which appeared to be admirably adapted to- the purpose, and shewed an excellent specimen of architectural taste. The Mayor and principal officers of the corporation -attended at the opening of the edifice, and he felt gratified at the proceed ing, because they gave additional effect to the adminis tration of justice. He regretted, however, that the young and eminent architect, Mr. Elopes, who had originally planned the bu - liding, had not lived to meet the reward justly due to his talents. He was happy to find that, con: sidering the extent of the population, there would be but a small demand upon their time. There were three charges of murder, of different degrees as to the character of the of fence. After explaining the law on the subject, the learned Judge expressed his confidence that the circumstances would command their attention. The question with respect to the boy of seven years of age, would be whether 'his death was occasioned by the blow. The other two cases were of lighter character. One of them was a case where a deadly blow had been struck, and it would be for them to inquire as to the provocation. The third case was a charge of wilful murder, which might be reduced to manslaughter. There had been a quarrel between a man and his wife, and the latter had been found dead at the bottom of the stairs. It would be for them to inquire if the death of the woman could have Peen accidentally caused. There were many other cases, not of the same aggravated character, and the question would be whether the offence waa murder or manslaughter. He was not aware that the other cases required any observation ; but if any difficulty arose, he should be happy to lend his assistance- The Grand Jury then retired. Before their return, a formidable array of Barristers had assembled. On the termination of the charge, the judges, with the council. members of the bar, and others, were entertained at a sumptuous luncheon, provided in the spacious library by his worship the mayor. Over the banquet Mr. Littledale, with a judge on either side, presided. There were present tbe • two Rectors, Brooks and Campbell, several of the county magistrates, the council, and a few members of the bar. Mr.. Baron PARKE, before leaving the room, would take the liberty of proposing a toast, which, although it might not accord with the gravity of his office, was in unison with the feelings of his heart. He proposed the health of Mr. Thomas Littledale, the chief magistrate, and might he grow in the esteem which he was sure they all bore to him. After a pause. his lordship said it bad for a moment es caped his memory that this was a happy day, not merely on account of this great ceremony, but because the Mayor had been blessed with another child. (Great applause.) The MAroa, in an appropriate speech, acknowledged the compliment. He stated that the arrangements and fittings of the Courts were merely of a temporary and ex perimental character ; but the Council had felt most un willing that their lordships, the Grand Jury, the bar, and others concerned should again be exposed to the incon venience of the old Courts. (Applause.) As to the latter part of the compliment of the learned Baron, Mr. Little dale hoped' the event alluded to would' be the means of increasing his happiness as the father of a family, and he expressed his warmest acknowledgments for the honour conferred upon him by the notice his lordship had taken. Mr. Baron Parke having returned into Court, the business was proceeded with. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY. Thomas Phillips, aged 41, was indicted for having assaulted Richard Woolley, in the borough of Manchester, on the 22nd of August last, with intent to rob him. . Mr. SOWLER briefly stated the case for the prosecution, .and then called _ _ _ Richard Woolley, the prosecutor, an elderly man, who stated that on the night in question he was pass ing along Dark-lane, Ardwick, about eleven o'clock. Suddenly he was knocked down, and a man put his left arm round his neck. Witness called out for help, and struggled to get away. The man then threw him down with tremendous force, and railaway. He believed the man was the prisoner. There were two other men about. The place in question was a sort of lane. The men first fol lowed witness. By the JUDGE.—Had been drinking a little, but was quite sober. By thePrisoner.—Noneof the men attempted to rob him. . _ The prisoner here said he was charged with an attempt to rob, but the prosecutor said the men did not attempt to rob him. He hoped the jury would remember this. John Atherton, a private watchman, who was on duty at the spot, said, he heard a scream, and made towards it. He saw a man struggling with the prosecutor. There were three, but two ran away. The man who remained was the prisoner. Had known him before, and was sure he was the man. By the prisoner.—l told the policeman I knew you. went against you on the 23d of August. The Prisoner.—There, he says it was the 23d, but it was the 25th. George Burroughs, a noliceman, deposed to having heard a cry of murder. There were three men when wit ness went up. The prisoner was one. A man stopped the prisoner, and witness took him for the man. The pri soner, when asked why he was running, said, he should run where he pleased. By the prisoner.—The private watchman did not come to the police-office on the day after the charge. The prisoner, in defence, said he had been drinking with a friend, and as he was going home he heard the cry of murder and stop thief. A man came up, and took him (the prisoner) into custody, but he had not been near the lane. The prosecutor could not find the man who took him in charge, and so they went and got the private watchman to say it was he who did it. He hoped the jury would remember that the prosecutor had stated that he had not attempted to rob him. Mr. Baron PARKE summed up the evidence, and the jury. after a short deliberation, acquitted the prisoner. William Kenworthy, aged 40, who pleaded guilty to the committal of a burglary at Gorton, and with having stolen a cup, a hat, and fourteen pieces of copper coin, was sentenced to be imprisoned, with bard labour, for 14 calendar months, in Kirkdale House of Correction. A SOLDIER CHARGED WITH STABBING. John Charles Keith, aged 27, was indicted for having feloniously stabbed and wounded William Pennington, at Preston. Mr. MONK stated the case for the prosecution, and called William Pennington, who said,—l am an inspector of plate layers at Preston. On the 22nd August last I went into a public house, called The Royal Oak, at Preston, with my wife. I was in the kitchen ; the landlord came and told us at twelve o'clock to go out. The prisoner was in the lobby as I was going out of the kitchen. It was Saturday night. As I was going out, the prisoner got hold of me and flung me down. Perhaps he thought I was the landlord. Soon afterwards I felt the blood trickle down my right side. The blood was running down into my boot. The prisoner went on the other side of the street. I had not given the prisoner any provocation ; indeed I had not spoken to him. By the Prisoner.—l had had two two-pennyworths of whiskey that night. I had been at a beer-shop before I went to the Oak. I did cry out that I was stabbed when I saw the blued. Many persons were outside. The other soldier had gone out. My wife hit you with au umbrella whsn you stabbed me, and you said you would servo her the same. (The prisoner cross-examined this witness with i.reat animation, and often excited laughter from the earnestness of bid manner). Ann Pennington, the wife of the last witness, stated sltBt the landlord and the soldier were quarrelling when she and her husband were in the kitchen. Her husband was not drunk. The landlord succeeded in getting the soldier out. The prisoner laid hold of witness's husband and knocked him down. There was no scuffle. The sol dier was knocked down as well. Did not see any blow given, hut saw something glitter in the prisoner's hand, and her husband called out that he was stabbed. The prisoner said that if witness did not go he would serve her the same. By the prisoner. ---T got my husband home out of your way as soon as I could. By the Judge.—What I saw in the prisoner's hand was like a penknife. Cross-examination by the prisoner continued.—l did not see where my husband's friend went to. Prisoner.—Dl4 you search your husband's pockets after he went home ? Witness.—No, I did not Prisoner.—lt is usual, I believe, for a wife to do so. (Liughter.) John Nicholls deposed to having seen the prisoner with a penknife. He came to the Royal Oak with another . mol dier. The prisoner had had some drink, but was not in capable of walking. By the prisoner. —I have not been up for poaching since you were committed. Was not convicted for poaching in 1849. I did not give information that you threatened my comrade. Some other immaterial evidence was given, and ulti mately the jury found a verdict of guilty. ROBBERY BY A WOMAN Mary Hines, aged 18, was indicted for having, on the 18th of September, with three men unknown, feloniously assaulted Christopher Webster, and with great personal violence robbed him of £2 14s. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor that on the night in question as he was going along the City road, Manchester, he was accosted by the prisoner, and endeavoured to get rid of her importunities, but she would not leave him. As they were going along she pushed him into a passage, when be was pinioned by some men and nearly choked. The woman assisted and took from his pockets the money in question. _ Thomas Whitby, a policeman, spoke to some money irbich he received from Hannah Taylor, the female searcher. Mrs. Taylor deposed to having searched the prisoner on the 11th of September, and finding 14s. 4d. upon her ; took from her a sixpence. (This sixpence was identified by the prosecutor from a particular mark upon Mary Beaver stated that her husband was a shopkeeper. She recollected paying this sixpence to the prosecutor. It was a very peculiar sixpence. The jury found a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner wes sentenced to be transported for ten years. The prisoner shrieked bitterly at hearing the sentence. STEALING IN A DWELLING-HOUSE James Aspinall, aged 38, was indicter] for having, at Abram, in the dwelling-house of John Hutchinson, fe loniously stolen one silver• horn, and having, after corn mittinglthe said felony, burglariously broken out of the said dwelling-house. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor and other witnesses, that the house, which is situate near Wigan, was safely locked on' the night of the 10th of August last, and was broken into ,'uring the night, and the property in question was stolen, A pawnbroker at Bolton deposed that the prisoner had offered to pledge a horn with him. He said it was silver. An officer came in at the time, and be was given into custody. Robert Murray, a policeman, deposed to seeing the prisoner. On being asked'where he got the horn, he said he got it from a man outside. _ _ Another policeman, who conveyed the prisoner to Kirk dale jail, on the 3d September, said, that on the way the prisoner told him that two men had been with him to a public-house. One of the men took out a pair of s h oes, which he said he had bought from Abram. The shoes were pawned, and they drank with the money. One of the men, he said, had given him the horn to pledge, and he was caught with it. The prisoner was found guilty of feloniously receiving the property. The policeman Murray said the prisoner had told him that he was transported for life about nineteen years ago, for killing a man near Bolton. Prisoner---Recollect, you are upon your oath, Did you ever knoW one do anything ! Murray : No,-1 never did. Sentence deferred. Mr. Baron Parke said he would consider about it. WOUNDING WITH INTENT TO DO SOME GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM Jo hn. Al` Guineas was indicted for having with a certain hammer feloniously wounded Thomas Titterington, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor lived at Chorley,-and that on the 13th September he went to the shop of the prisoner, who is a shoemakers He asked for old Jack.. The prisoner came out, and instantly knocked the prosecutor down with a hammer. He was struck on the head and on the back of his neck, and rendered insen sible. He had fallen down into a cellar, and lost three pints of blood. From some questions putby the Judge, it appeared that the prosecutor and the prisoner had had a quarrel at a beer-shop a few days previously. Mr. Pollard, a surgeon, stated that the prosecutor had received serious injury on the forehead, and also on the back part of the head, but he soon got better. The jury returned a verdict of guilty of "'unlawfully wounding." ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE Edward Regan, aged 19, was indicted for having, on the sth October, with several other persons•u•nknown, beaten and assaulted Thomas Dunn, and with great per sonal violence robbed him of four shillings. The evidence was to the effect that as the prosecutor, who resides at Manchester, was returning home from Newton on the night in question, a gang of persons; among whom was the prisoner, came out of a public 7 house, where the prisoner had been, and attacked him, and robbed him of four shillings, which he had in his waistcoat pocket. The prisoner was acquitted. This was the last case tried o'clock. The court sat till seven NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before the Hon. Mr. Justice ERLR.) His Lordship took his seat on the bench ate quarter before one o'clock. MALICIOUS STABBING.

The prosecutor, who is an Irish labourer; resides at Kirkham. On the 15th of . September last, he buried one of his children. The funeral was attended by a large number of Irish acquaintances, amongst whom was the prisoner. After the interment, the funeral party adjourned to the Bowling Green Inn, where a quarrel took place between a.person named Lennan and the prisoner, which resulted in the latter being turned out of the house ; and in doing this, the prosecutor took an: active part. The prisoner, who was drunk, went to his lodgings, but soon returned with a knife. He was met in the street by Lennan, when a scuffle took place between them. The prosecutor interfered, upon which Cain took out his knife and stabbed him with it in the left side, inflicting an oblique wound of three inches in length. The pri soner. was found guilty of a misdemeanour only. Sentence deferred..

But even admitting that the position of the candle is the easiest which could have been chosen, the shadow is too sharply defined. 106. " View of Ben Vorlich, at the head of Loch Lo mond."
