The officer attempted to take the male prisoner into custody, when a mob of 300 persons gathered around him, and, in a scuffie which ensued, he was knocked down, the female prisoner jumping on his body. The male was sent to gaol for three months, and the girl for fourteen days. HEALTH COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held on Thursday, Mr. Alderman Langsdale in the chair. The other members present were Messrs. Beckwith, Shiel, Johnson, R. , -UlaAstone,M`Guffie, Hodson, Cresthwaite, and Halhead. The medical officer reported that the mortality of the boroughton tinned unusually low.—The borough engineer, building sur veyor, and inspector of nuisances, reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the week. —An application was made to the committee to macadamise the road at the south end of the Sailors' Home, in front of the Seamen's Chapel.—Mr. Gladstone objected, on the ground that the parties for whom the chapel was originally intended did not attend,2-nd that it was frequented altogether by other parties. If the street required to be altered, let those who sat pew-free pay for it themselves.—Mr. Beckwith moved, and Mr. Gladstone seconded, that the matter be not entertained, which was carried by a majority of 5 to 3.—An application was put in for several new streets to be laid out in the neighbourhood of the Zoological Gardens.—Mr. Gladstone asked if it would not be possible, in those new streets, to make some arrange ments for the better placing of water-pipes and gas-pipes.— The borough engineer explained that there were two rows of pipes now laid, and they were laid under the curb-stone; but the system could never be perfect until they adopted the idea of making a tunnel in the middle of narrow streets, and a tunnel on each side of the broad streets. It would cost £1 4-s. per yard more than it does for laying down pipes on the pre sent system ; but it would, ultimately, be a great saving. —The subject then dropped; and, 'as this concluded the general business, the board adjourned. DOCK COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held on Thursday, Mr. Charles Turner in the chair. A letter was read from the Chairman of the Audit Commission, enclosing the report of the special auditors for the year ending 21st June last, which stated that, after a close and careful exami- nation, it was found that all money due to the Trustees dining that period had been collected by the treasurer, and properly accounted for. The report was referred to the Finance Com mittee. A letter was read from the agent of the Dundalk Steam-packet Company, stating that the eaves of the shed oc cupied by that company in the Clarence-basin projected so much as frequently to come in contact with the steamers. The letter was referred to the Harbourmasters' Committee. The Solicitor produced a report of the changes effected in the Dock regulations by the recent Dock Act which had come into ope ration, which was ordered to be printed for the information of the public. A correspondence was read between the Harbour masters' Committee and Messrs. Charles G. Cowie and Co., in which the latter complained of the appropriation of the south east corner of the Prince's-doek as a special berth to the vessels of the Liverpool line of Australian packets, belonging to Messrs. M`Gee, Levingston and Co. After some conversa tion, the subject was referred to the Fighourmosters' Com mittee. A Darr E; SAILOR.—At the Police-court. on Friday, a seaman, named York, was brought up under the following circumstances :—Early that morning Mr. and Mrs. Davenport, who reside in Denison•street, were enjoying their connubial repose, when the lady was aroused by an arm, evidently not that of her husband, being placed round her neck. She screamed, and awoke Mr. Davenport, who lighted a candle, but he had scarcely done so ere the light was extinguished, and when another light was procured it was found that the room had been entered by a strange sailor, evidently in a state of intoxication. It was afterwards discovered that the prisoner, who lodged next door, had entered the house, and was about to get into the bed, mistaking it for his own. The key of the house where he lodged fitted Mrs. Devonport's door also. He was discharged with a caution. EMBARKATION OF TROOPS.—A further detachment of the Ring's Own Dragoon Guards, consisting of about 86 men, rank and file, 116 horses, and a number of officers, embarked on Saturday, at this port, on board the screw-steamer Resolute, for the Crimea. The officers were Lieut.-Colonel Haythorne, Ist Foot ; Lieut-Colonel Gloster, 38th Foot ; Captain Daire, Grenadier Guards ; Lieut. Gascoigne, ditto ; Lieut. Viscount Stonnors, ditto; Brevet-Major the Hon. P. Fielding, Coldstream Guards ; Major Street, 57th Foot ; Captain Piers, with a detachment of the 97th, to be embarked at Dublin, where the Resolute will take on board 14 officers of the sth Dragoons, Ist Foot, 13th Foot, 14th Foot, and 90th Foot, with 400 men and 77 horses. The screw-steamer Emu is ordered to be in readiness to embark at this port, on the 14th instant, 23 officers and about 600 men of the 51st Regiment for Malta; and the Andes (s.s), on the same day, S officers and 300 men of the 51st Foot; 9 officers and 100 men of the 3rd; 4 officers and 100 men of the 31st ; and 10 officers and 200 men of the 48th. TM? RIVAL RAILWAY COSIVANTES.—On Friday, the rail way fares between Liverpool and Southport were greatly reduced, and parties may now obtain return tickets for one shilling, thus enabling them to travel between Liverpool and Southport and back, a distance of about 49 miles, at little more than a farthing a mile. The public are thus re a pi ng th e advantage of the fierce competition which has been caused between the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company and the East Lancashire Company, consequent upon the opening of the latter company's branch from Southport, which runs into their main line near Ormskirk. On Friday there was unusual excitement at the Exchange Station, from which both compa ny's trains start,. said we underdtand that there was :an immense increase in the number of passenger& The town, and the neighbourhood of the Station, was extensively pla carded by both companies, each asserting that their lines respectively were the shortest. The Lancashire and York shire Company announce that "the shortest and only direct route to Southport is via Waterloo and Crosby"; 'whilst the East Lancashire Company 'state that theis is "the only direct line tc, Southport—nine trains per day." ORANGE AGAINST TRECAPTAIN OP TKE JAME'S ILVINES.— At the Liverpool Police•rourt, on Saturday, Mr. Sowler applied for a warrant against Captain M`Donnell and other officers of the Royal mail ship James Baines, 'for an alleged assault committed on a Dr. Carr during the late 'homeward voyage 'from Melbourne. Mr. Sowler stated the. the 25th of March last his clizrat, who had made himself 'obnoxious to the captain for a prominent part he had taken in the main tenance of the rights of the passengers, was taking a walk on thepoop, when Captain M`Donnell went behind him, kicked him, and afterwards made him the object of great annoyances, fining him 20s. 'for an alleged assault on a person named Ikmbridge, and - confining him in a place 'below unfit for a lraman being to live in. The magistrates, considering the long interval Which had elapsed since the had been in port, which had afforded Dr. Carr ample opportunity to bring 'his case earlier hefore the court, and considering that it would be unjust to rue owners of the ship to cause her detention at the very time she was advertised, :under a penalty to the Government, to sail with - the Post-office mails, refused - to ac cede to' the application. The ;presiding magistrates were Mr. S. Holme and Mr. Anderson. LIVERPOOL LICENSED VICTIIALLERS' ASSOCIATION.—This body celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary on Thursday last, at Eastham. The fete included thecustomary annual ball in aid of the funds of the benevolent institution connected with the association, which was preceded by an elegant :and sub stantial-cold collation, served in the banquetting ream. The festivities were honoured by the .presence Of the mayor (Mr. J. B. Tobin), Mr. Charles Turner, several of the members of the corporation, &e. Mr. 'Jonathan Williamson, of the firm of Messrs. Geo. Pim and Co., distillers, occupied the chair, sup ' ported by the mayor and Mr. 'Law Sykes, president of the association. After justice had 'been done to the good things provided, a number 'of toasts were given, that of" Prosperity to the Liverpool Licensed Victuallers' Association, and the 'Health of the Chairman and 'Committee," being proposed by the mayor, who, speaking of the progress of Liverpool, said, "There are many around this table who can call to mind Li verpool when it was far less important than it'is now. During the past forty years it has increased more than teu-fold. Those around this table—many of them—can recollect the time when 'Liverpool did not boast of more than 400,000 - tons of shipping, but now there are upwards of 4,500,000. (Cheers.) It is steadily increasing in im,portance—rising more rapidly than any port in the kingdom—and already far exceeds in its foreign commerce that of the metr4olis itself : and I believe that the acquisition recently made of the Birkenheadproperty will tend to give increased security and importance.to Liverpool, and will enable us to afford such accommodation to the commerce of the country as the whole world beside canuotoffer." (Cheers.) 'After other toasts had been given, and responded to, the- large mom was cleared, and the ball commenced. 'CHARGE OF MA.NSLAUGHTEIL—An inquest was held before the deputy-coroner on Saturday, on the body of Ann, wife of 1 j - William Kelly.—Mary,'wife of Christopher Shaw, Jackson's court, Sparling-street, -said she knew thedeceased, who lived next door to her. Never heard any quarrel in the louse 'between the deceased •and her husband. Deceased want to the Workhouse last Thursday week ; her "husband went with her. Before she went witness was in henhouse, and heard her hathand advise her to stay at home, and the . would be better .4.444--1-4 4- 1--.4 --- 1-4 4 5 •4•• et +-hat she 'should be better taken eare of. Witness never saw her again. Similar testimoney was given by Mary Fender, and other neighbours.—Jame Oliver, nurse of the Workhouse, remem bered the deceased being brought in there on the 26th‘of last month. She became rapidly worse until Friday afternoon, .when she died.—George Carr, governor of the Workhouse, • said-his attention was particularly called to • the deceased on Friday, about twelve o'clock, when she appeared to be dying. The surgeon was present, and told her that the was dying, and She said she knew-She was. She then stated that about three-months ago her - husband, William Kelly, had returned home on a Sunday morning, and found fault with her because she had not his breakfast ready ; that he kicked her on the left side with the point of his shoe, making her black and blue, pulling the hair out of her head in handfuls ; that she told the neighbours he had done so; and - that she had not been well since. At her desire the prisoner was -sentlor, and came in -the afternoon. Witness was present when he saw the deceased. They shook hands, and she immediately re peated to him three 'times the words, " You murdered- me." Witness stooped over her and said, '"My good woman,.do you know you are dying now.r and she said "Yes." He -then asked if what she had said was true, and her reply was, - "Yes, he murdered me ;" and these were the last words she-uttered. When the deceased said to her husband, " You murdered .me," witness called his attention to the words. He seemed -sur prised, and said he could prove the contrary. He -also said he never wished her to come -to the Workhouse at all.—Mr. Francis Ayrton, surgeon, at the Workhouse, w as 'present when the deceased made the statement detailed by Mr.Learr. Before then he had told her that she was dying, and she.said she felt that she was sinking. 'Witness confirmed the state ment of the governor. He made an examination of the body. On the left side, above the groin, he found a black spot, about the size of a crown-piece, in the :centre of a tumour. Had seen the swelling during her life, but there was only then slight discolouration, and mortification had set in in that place. On opening the body, found that the intestine, exactly :under the spot, was blackened and diseased, and that there ,was matter there. Witness was of opinion that deceased had died from mortification at this spot, and that the injury must .hare been produced from external violence. Deceased had pointed out this place as the exact spot where her husband .had kicked her. A kick from a shoe might have produced such an injury. The jury returned a verdict of "Man slaughter" against the husband, and he was committed for .trial.under the coroner's warrant. CALEDONIAN CREAM.—Two ounces of raspberry jam or jelly, two ounces of red currant jelly, two ounces of sifted loaf sugar, the whites of two eggs—put it into a bowl, and beat it with a spoon for three-quarters of an hour. This makes a very pretty dish, and is good and economical. THE END or BUSINESS.—It is well to remember that the end of business is happiness, and all that we gain on the road •is so nauch,clur gain. Much of life is necessarily passed in business pursuits, and all have an interest in making- its transactions. as pleasant and agreeable as possible. Politeness is the life, •animation, beauty, poetry of business, that gives it all its flavour. It is a virtue, too, that needs and will bear extension. No station, rank, or talents can ever excuse a man for neglecting the eivilities due from man to man. Integrity, too, is never to be lost sight of. It is the corner.stone.of the character of the true man of business, in the absence of whysli the whole edifice topples to its ruin. EVERYTHING ICAB A. BEGINNING. — Newton was once a child, and often got whipped ; Alexander ran in leading strings ; and Cnsar was thrashed for stealing a top.—New Motithly Magazine. MLIMIAGE IN EARNEST.—When the late Lord Erskine, then going the circuit, was asked by his landlord how he had slept, he replied, " Union is strength —a fact of which your inmates seem to be unaware : for, had the fleas been unanimous last night, they might have pushed me out of the bed." " Fleas !" exclaimed Bonifice, affecting great asto nishment, " I was not aware that I had a single one in the house." I don't believe you have," retorted his lordship ; " they are married, and have uncommonly large families I' A NOTED TIPPLER once succeeded in passing a public house by the road-side without stopping to cheer the inner man. When he had proceeded about half a mile he expressed his admiration in the following terms : " Well done, Jem, I didn't think you could do it :11l go back and treat you to a glass for your resolution." Tim hours of a wise man are lengthened by his ideas, as those of a fool are by his passions. The time of the one is long, because he does not know what to do with it ; so is that of the other, because he distinguishes every moment of it with useful or amusing thoughts—or, in other words, because the one is always wishing it away, and the other always enjoying it . WOMAN,—The last and best of all the series. If we have her for a toast, we won't ask for any but-her. THE EXTRAORDINARY POISONING CASE.—Mr. J. S.Wooler , a gentleman of fortune, residing at Burdon, near Darlingto n' whose wife died lately under suspicious circumstances, was arrested, on Satui•day week, on a charge of poisoning her. He was examined on Monday, when two doctors were appointed to attend to the exhumation and analysis of the deceased lady' s viscera. The examination was adjourned until yesterday, A Duna is reported to have taken place between Generals Changarnier and Morny, in which the latter was run through the body. Mn. THICICERAY has secured a berth on board one of the British and North American mail steamers, which will sail hence for Boston, United States, in Oct. nest. Tun MIME, with advices from Constantinople to the 26th and the Crimea to the 23rd July, arrived at Marseilles on Sat urday. The Golden Fleece had also arrived. A•LAWYER in Ferrara died, a few weeks since, making Ms own soul heir to his whole estate, 6,000,000 of francs, which were to be expended in masses for its repose.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. THE Yorkshire Gazette mentions an extraordinary instance of somnambulism. A little boy was found at midnight by his sister suspended outside the window, with his hands holding on to the stone sill, and in great danger of falling to the ground. The sister, with the assistance of the servant girl, ex tricated the boy from his dangerous situation, and he did not recover from his dream until after his sister had lifted him with safety into the room. ELIZABETH ANN HOLMAN, a young woman twenty-two years of age, dressed in man's clothes, was brought up at the Plymouth Guildhall, on Thursday, charged with being a sus picious person. She stated that she had been employed as a road and field-labourer in Devonshire and Cornwall, and had also worked as a miner without any suspicion as to her sex. Her reason for assuming male attire was, that she could earn much higher wages as a man than she could have done other wise. As there was no proof of her having committed any other offence, the bench directed her to be discharged. EMIGRATION. — The total number of emigrants who left the United Kingdom during the 40 years between January, 1815, and December, 1854, was 4,116,958, being on an average, 102,923 persons a-year. But of this number 2,446,802, or nearly three-fifths, have emigrated during the last eight years; and 1,356,096, or nearly one-third, in the last four years. The average emigration of the last four years has been 339,504. The largest emigration was in 1852, namely, 368,7'64. In 1854 the emigration was less by 45,335 than in 1852. The greater part of emigrants go to the United States. In 1852 the num ber was 244,261; in 1854 it was 193,065, of which number 150,209 were Irish. In the last seven years, no less a sum than £7,520,000 was remitted to Ireland by emigrants, to enable their connections to join them in their adopted country. STRDTA.N, PAUL, AND BATES were brought up at Bow° street Police-court, on Wednesday. Mr. Bodkin, for prosecution, produced evidence showing that Dr. Griffith's bonds were now in the hands of Payneand Smith, the bankers, standing in the name of Mr. Sykes, who had received them from a Mr. Beattie. The latter was abroad, and would not be in England till Sep tember. Another remand would therefore be necessary. It was proved that Strahan and Co. received the March dividends, and that the Seyimber dividends had been paid to Smith and Payne for Mr. Sykes, while the pass-book of Dr. Griffith showed he had been duly credited for both the accounts. The prisoners were admitted to bail of £6,000 each, and with two sureties of £3,000 each, making a total bail of £36,000. On Thursday, Mr. Strahan was bailed in the required amount by Mr. Beadon, police-magistrate, of Wandsworth, and Dr. Gordon ; and, on Friday, bail was entered into for the other partners. Scoff' tc LANDED PEOPRFETONS.—The following is :the gross total number of landed proprietors standing on the valu ation 'rens of the various Scotch counties in 1854—ViZ., in Aberdeen, 341; Argyll, 181 ; Ayr, 456 ; Banff, 45 • Berwick, ' 306; Ilute, 9 ; Caithness, 37; Clackmannan, 35 • Dumbarton, 263-3 Dumfries, 510 a Fdinburgh 562; Elgin, s ' s'- Fife, 686; Forfar, 358 ; Haddirigton, 92.; Kinross, 161 a; Kirkcudbright, 413 ; Linlithgow, 164 ; ist,irn, 15 ; Orkney, 329 ; Peebles, 88; Perth, 696.; Ross, 69 Roxburgh, 429 ; Selkirk, 43-; Stirling, 615 ; Sutherland, 8 ; -and Wigtown, 60; 594 of these estates were valued at between "Rsoo and £1,009, 387 at between £l,OOO and £2,000, 274 at 'between £2,000 and £5,000, 76 at between £5,000 and £lO,OOO, and 32 at upwards of £lO,OOO. ECLIPSE or AN EUROPE:IN SOVEREIGNTY.—A sovereign state has disappeared from the map of Europe. Kniphausen has collapsed into a seignory of the Grand Duke of Oldenburg. This important fact is notified in an ordonnanc,e just published by the Minister of State-for Oldenburg. Kniphausen was the smallest-state of the Germanic Confederation : its population did not exceed 3,500 souls, nor its territory 4,500 hectares. It was united to Oldenburg in 1813 ; but the Congress of Vienna not having recognized the incorporation, its separate rights have been kept alive with Prussian aid until the present time. A BOY WITH A REAL TAIL.—At Middlesborough-on-Tees there exists a singular freak of nature, " a boy with a real tail." He is about four months old and in good health. He has a perfect caudal appendage four or five inches in length. It springs from the vertebrae of the os-sa - ^runz, not theos eoecygis as does the tail of an animal, which is a continuation-of the spinal structure. It has caused much interest among the faculty, who have had a consultation whether- it would be proper to take it of; but, as upon examination it is found to possess the properties of a limb, having bone, muscle, feeling, &c., and can be moved at the will of the child, it is feared the operation might endanger the -:child's life by affecting the -spinal cord. Itanay prove of great inconvenience to the pos sessor in after life, as it will intrude upon the seat of honour. DEATH moanOLANDERS.—EIiza Massey, the wife of Jemmy Massey, the well-known pugilist, aged only 31, has died from glanders in Middlesex Hospital. The unfortunate deceased resided with her husband, who kept from eight to twelve cab horses, over the stables situated at 9, Stephen's-mews, adjoin ing Rathbone-place, Oxford-street—her sufferings having been, as described ley her medical attendants, of the mostexcruciating nature. Herbody presented- a dreadful spectacle, immediately after death-assuming the appearance of one mass of putrefac tion. The cause of the disease.is enveloped in mystery, as the deceased never had anything to do with her husband's horses, one of which had suffered from glanders ; and the supposition is, that the dreadful complaint was engendered through the deceased breathing the impure air in the mews, there being no ventilation or drainage to the stables. WHOLESALE MURDER.—A letter from Warsaw, dated July 12, says :—" A shocking event has just occurred here. The night before last, as the stage-coach was on its way between Minsk and Kalushin, it was attacked by a band of miscreants, who first killed the horses, then murdered the driver, and five of the passengers ; the sixth, a young lady, - contrived to effect her escape. Seven waggons laden with corn -happened to be passing at the time, driven by Jews. These men were like wise murdered, as was also a Jewish family •of nine persons, who inhabited a public-house in the neighbourhood. Magis trates, aides-de-camp- of the Viceroy, and a strong detachment of mounted police,-have gone from this place-in all haste to the spot, and it is hoped that a clue to the murderers will be very shortly found." Nnorr.—On Thursday a most daring: robbery was committed at the public•house known by the sign of the Giant's Stores, Drury►lane, a short distance from the Olympic Theatre. A number of well•dressed fellows, knq t wn as companions of thieves, had been observed hanging about, and got up into the concert-room upon the pretence of hearing a song. The result showed, however, that they had contemplated a more serious game than being amused with a song, forit was discovered that while some watched the motions of the giant and persons in the bar, others of theparty entered the landlord's room with a skeleton key and ransacked the place, and carried off a splendid gold watch and chain, pre sented by Her Majesty to Mr. Hales; also, some silver snuff boxes, and other property, worth altogether about £l2O. ABDIIMION.-At the Shrewsbury Assizes, on Monday, Richard Roden, 40. years of age, was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment for abducing Sarah Buttery, under 16 years of age, at Wroxeter,,in Junelast. The prisoner was married and had two children, and the girl in question lived as a servant with her aunt, next door to him. He became acquainted with her, an illicit connection was the consequence, and she was ultimately sent home to her parents. In June last, Roden sent one of his own children to make an appointment with Buttery, and the guilty-couple met, he asking his paramour to fly with him, as his wife had told him it was the best thing he could do, and that, if he took her clean off, he should have anything he wanted ; but, if he took any one else, he should have nothing. The girl .flew with him, but the parents soon captured her. A LETTER rzolt Anna,trzopix states that tbe neighbour hood of that city had been freed in rather a singular manner from the highway robbers who infested it. A widow, residing near Silivria, had been plundered of all her property by a gang of ruffians, who pretended they acted under the orders of Yani, a robber chief, wh o h as acqu i re d an unenv i a b le celebrity -in dud locality. Yani, a species of Fm Diavolo, who boasts that he only robs th e r i c h t o g i ve t o t h e poor, having heard .of the outrage, visit e d th e w id ow, and ascertained that the attack was made in his name. He immediately set out with a party of his band, traced the robbers, put them to death, and recovered the plunder. Within two days of his first visit to the widow, he returned to her with the entire of the property of which she had been despoiled, together with the heads of the seven robbers. " You see," said Yani, " that I have procured you restitution, and you may be assured that nobody shall ever disgrace my name with impunity." IWTRODErCTION OF INDIRECT TAXATION INTO TURKEY. —The Morning Herald Constantinople correspondent writes : "An important measnre is under discussion at present. On the Ist of .September next it is proposed to adopt one of the civilised modes of increasing the revenue, by the institution of a new tax which was held in contempt, as being tedious and expensive in the collection. I believe it will be rendered obligatory on every one to use stamped paper; for all public and private .documents involving responsibility, with the exception of certain title deeds and legal affidavits, on which the tax will not be raised (as the cries of the Ulemah, in all probability, might be raised with it). This measure does not interfere with foreigners in their dealings among themselves ; but will affect the natives, and will not be popular among merchants and traders ; like skinned eels, however, they will get accustomed to it at last. It is evident that the Porte must increase its revenue by several millions of piastres, and as it cannot raise it as in former times directly, it must do co indirectly." ' WlLLTNElT?—Underthis heading, the New York Journal Qfth muoi com to m h e is rce own sa a y d s v : at the mothers and young ladies. He has issued a programme a — nt ß a a g r e n t ill io n ' d'o h ub av t, in is g g u oi s n e g d t u o p t e h babies, of over $5,000, which he proposes to present in premiums " to the handsomest ladies in America." There is to be one pre- rarumo7F,Ooo ; 7;;;;:i.'§3oo; one of $250; one of $200; one of $150; six of $100; ninety of $2O; and one hundred of $lO. The process by which the handsomest ladies are to be found out and ascertained, is somewhat complicated, and_we leave it for the details, which will soon be published as an advertise ment. Suffice it to say that, in the first instance, da,guereo types of beautiful women will be invited to be sent in from all parts of the country, with or without the names,—the daguereo types to be returned in due time to the owners. On the 15th of Oct. all that may have arrived " will be placed before the public at the American Museum, or in some other suitable lo cality in New York." The visitors at the place of exhibition will decide, by means of ballots, which of the portraits are en titled to the premiums. Those ladies obtaining the ten highest premiums will be engraved and published in the French " World's Book of Beauty." Each lady who may secure one of the ten highest premiums, will he desired to sit to the best artist in the city nearest to her residence, who will paint her portrait from life, at the expense of Mr. Barnum, for the French publication: AGRICULTURAL MEET.—On Saturday, about four hundred gentlemen interested in the success of agriculture assembled, according to custom, at Mr. Mechi's model farm at liptree heath, Essex. The company proceeded with Mr. Mechi to view the farm and stock, and pronounced the wheat, barley, and oat crops all that could be wished, and the mangold and other root-crops seemed to be in excellent condition. The cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, and other live stock were all very healthy, and their clean appearance was the theme of universal admi ration. Part of the day's proceedings was the exhibition of new agricultural implements. A ponderous machine, the in vention of the Earl of Dundonald, for cutting up the ground and putting down pipes for draining, attracted some attention. A reaping machine, by Dray and Co., was tried upon some wheat, a portion of which was very much laid, and the result was so satisfactory that several orders were given on the spot. This machine was considered to supply a remedy for the only absolute defect which had hitherto existed in Hussey's imple ment. The inspection of the crops and farmyards over, the company repaired to a large marquee, and partook of a cold collation. Mr. Mechi presided, and was supported on his right by the Lord Mayor, and on his left by the Marquis of Dro gheda. Mr. Mechi ' in returning thanks for his health, said he had surmounted all the difficulties which had in the first onset beset his path, and he was happy to say that his crops this year would well pay him. He thought that the great future for agriculture lay ink the full developzueut of steam, THE TIMBER ROBBERIES. AT the Sessions, on Friday, Wm. Bibby, Geo. Codling, Geo. Lythgoe, and Jas. Jackson were indicted in eight counts for stealing 150 pieces of timber, the property of Messrs. Hough ton and Smith, and 58, the property of Messrs. A. Dempsey and Co. On the 16th of May, Lythgoe and Bibby called at the stables of Enoch Tarbet, cartowner, and requested two carts to be sent early to the Huskisson Dock. The carts Were sent, and on the quay they were met by Bibby, Lythgoe, and Jackson. The carts were loaded with timber from the pile of Messrs. Houghton and Smith, and conveyed to Windsor, to some buildings in the course of erection by Mr. Rees. The prisoner Codling received the timber, and had some difference about a portion of it with Mr. Rees. On the 19th of the same month, the same two carters carted two loads of timber at the same place, some of it from Messrs. Dempsey and Co.'s pile. They were followed by two police-officers, who saw the timber delivered at Windsor, and then took the prisoners into custody. The total value of the timber stolen on these occa sions was £26. Mr. Rees said that he bad had six loads of timber since March from the prisoner. Codling. All the pri soners were found guilty on this count. John Owens, John Allen, and Joseph Cullen were also found guilty on the sa me d a y of stealing a quantity of deals, the property of Messrs. Farnworth and Jardine, which they sold to a builder, named John Jabez Creer, for £8 10s., on the 26th of April. • John 0 - wens and Richard Cnlshaw, charged with stealing two standard of deals, the property of Messrs. Anthony and Robinson, wereacquitted. The further indictments against the prisoners were pro ceeded with on Saturday. Each case presented the same feature. The depredators had taken their loads openly from the piles lying on the Huskisson Dock quay, and disposed of the property to unsuspecting builders and carters, wha seem to have acted in the various transactions in a perfectly regular and business manner. John Owens was indicted for stealing one hundred pieces of timber, the property of John Farnworth and another. Verdict, guilty. A previous conviction for felony was formally proved against the prisoner. Sentence to ten years' penal servitude. _ _ Yesterday, the Recorder sat for the purpose of sentencing the convicted prisoners. John Allen was ordered to undergo two years' imprisonment on one conviction, and one year on another ; and George Codling the same ; William Bibby two years imprisonment ; Joseph Cullen two years' ; Lythgoe nine months' ; and Jackeon eight months' imprisonment. BARQUE CAPSIZED AND SUNK IN THE RIVER. ABOUT half-past two o'clock on Friday afternoon, the Retriever, an iron barque, built lately at Warrington by the Bank-quay Foundry Company, was taken out of the Sandon Dock to be placed in the Prince's Dock. The Retriever was in tow of the British Queen, (tug,) and, on leaving the Sandon Basin, she was taken in a direction nearly across the river. On turning round to go up towards the Prince's Dock, she was struck by a wind, and capsized, and the sailors and others on board were precipitated into the water, one being drowned. The vessel was being towed round the stern of the James Baines, to come into the George's Basin, and when broadside on a heavy squall came, and she heeled over so much that the ballast (upwards of sixty tons) shifted, and fourteen persons including the captain, riggers, painters, two boys, and a pilot , were thrown into the river. By the aid of the steam-tug and boats they were picked up as soon as possible, though one man, a rigger, was drowned, and another man was severely hurt. The pilot was severely injured. Before leaving the Sandon Dock the ship had, as is usual in such cases, been made as snug as possible with regard to the rigging ; and the accident is attributed to the wind acting upon her at the top, and the tide at the bottom in opposite directions. The Retriever is owned by Messrs. Leech, Harrison, and Forwood. THE INQUEST. Yesterday, an inquest was held on the body of Thomas Beattie, the deceased, before Mr. Statham, the deputy coroner. Mr. Aspinall, barrister, appeared for the owners of the vessel. There were several shipbuilders, Captain Cook, the Superin tendent of Pilots (who was asked by the coroner to question the witnesses), and other practical men in court. The first witness called was Wm. Bennett, rigger.—He said : I was on board the barque Retriever on Friday. Went on board at the Sandon Dock. We got some chain cable up froth below. She was to be re moved from the Sandon to the Prince's Dock, and was brought out of the former for that purpose. She was taken in tow of a steamer at the Sandon Dock-gate. and was taken up the river. She was taken towards the Cheshire side to prevent her run ning against other vessels. When nearly abreast of the land ing stage the barque was capsized. It was intended to slew her round, so soon as the steamer could be got to work, in order to get to the Prince's Dock. When she came across the tide, the wind made ber lay over. The fang of the main gaff was carried away- The captain called one of the riggers to tome aft, and I went. She then gave a heavy lurch, and I could not keep my foot-hold as the vessel capsized. I was thrown on the lee side into the water, along with another man, who was not the deceased. I afterwards got on to the bottom of the vessel, and from that saw deceased in the water, and, as I think, the mate alongside of him. Deceased's face was partially turned downwards. I knew him. His name was Thomas Beattie; he was a rigger, and about fifty years old. A man took the deceased by the back of the neck and got him out of the water. I had been on board the Retriever for the first time on Tuesday, the 31st ult. She had no cargo on board. She was a new iron vessel, and had never been to sea. There was ballast under the square of the main hatch, but I only saw it from the deck, as I never was below. I do not vea.- th e ballast was counned amidships, or whether it extended fore and aft I saw deceased in the dead-house. Captain Henry Heron, who lives at Waterloo, said he su perintended the building of the vessel at the Bank Quay Foundry, Warrington, and came down the river with her. She had no masts in her then. She had 15 tons of ballast on board, in the main hatchway. Thought that was in the month of May. She was taken to the Sandon Dock, and had lain there ever since with the exception of being in the Graving Dock fitting out Her masts had been in her two months. On Friday she was to go into the Prince's Dock. He was on board of her. She was towed by the steamer Bri tish Queen. The ballast from Warrington was pig iron. That was removed after the stone ballast was put in. She had 25 tons of stone ballast put in soon after she came down. It was put under the main hatchway. It was moved more for ward in the vessel for the surveyors, and then moved aft again, and twelve tons more put on board. That was all the ballast she had on board on Friday. It was lying from the mainmast forward in the hold, throughout the great body of the ship. There were also three anchors, weighing 33 cwt. in all, four iron davits 18 cwt., which were far too heavy for the vessel, lying at the bottom of the vessel, the same as the anchors. There was also a quantity of chains, cordage, spar gear, spars, and deck moveables, weighing altogether upwards of 65 tons. With the exception of the spars, which were in the 'tween decks, these were all below. The vessel was towed up towards the Seacombe Ferry. In turning round to face the George's Dock, the steamer being ahead of her still, she heeled over, and the tide being flood and the wind south-west, and a very heavy squall at the time, the hawser of the steamer pulling her the one way, whilst the tide caught her bottom, she heeled over so much that it caused the ballast to move. She capsized and shortly sunk. Her new measurement was 404 tons. She had never been at sea. Her topgallant masts were down. She was not entirely round when she fell. Her masts fell to the north, even with the wind. By Captain Cook : The first 25 tons of ballast were levelled over the hold, the other 12 tons were pretty well spread, but more admidships than the other. The kelson is twelve inches high from the plates of the vessel. The ballast was con siderably above the kelson,—about a foot and a half. The anchors were placed under the fore hatchway, down by the kelsou. The last of the ballast was taken on board' six weeks or two months ago. The anchors were put below when taken on board about six weeks ago. The ship did not exhibit any particular symptoms of being crank in dock on the Thursday. She had three boats on deck. Her depth of hold is 16 feet. She is not a flat-bottomed ship. She is rather of a barrel bottomed tendency. Witness should think barrel-bottomed ships would be rather crank. She is a flush ship. The boats were the only weight on deck. There were two bower anchors forward with cables bent to both ; one was hung • over the bow, the other was on the forcastle. By Mr. Aspivall: The ballast does not lie lower in an iron than in a wooden ship, according to his experience. When he took the ship - out of dock he believed there was sufficient ballast in her to stiffen her. He had been very careful with her all along. The mate was on board, and the mate of the Lightning. There was a crew of riggers. Every thing was done properly, and to the best of his ability, to secure the safety of the vessel. % By a Juror : Could not say whether an iron ship or a wooden one requires more ballast. Should think an iron one would be lighter on the water than a wooden one. She was drawing on Friday 9 feet aft and 81 feet forward. By the Deputy-Coroner : She was about 12 feet above the water to the top of the rail. William Steel, mate of the ship Retriever, deposed that he was appointed on Monday week. He had been on board on the Friday preceding. Had been at sea eight years, and twelve months as mate. Had been on board the ship every day since Monday. Observed the position of the ballast, the anchors below, the davits, and the coals. The ballast was stowed over the body of the vessel, from the main hatch for ward ; a little more amidships than the other part, but not out of proportion to the shape of the vessel. He was on board on Friday morning before the vessel went into the river. About twelve on that day he was passing a joke with some of the riggers. He asked them if they could swim. His reason for asking that question was nothing particular—only a joke From what he saw of the ballast and other things on board, he considered the vessel in a perfectly fit state to be taken out of dock. Did not make use of the words to the riggers— " Your powers of swimming will be tested when you get out of dock ' By Mr. Aspinall : Was in another iron ship which capsized. The mate of the Lightning was a friend of his. He should have objected going out of dock with her if he had thought there was the slightest danger, as he could not swim. Instead of objecting, he asked his friend to go too. (Laughter.) James Fisher, one of the riggers on board at the time of the accident, deposed that be lived in Kew-street. He went on board about twelve o'clock. Saw that a little more of the ballast was stowed amidships than in the rest of the hold. Had been twenty-five years at sea. Considered the vessel in a safe state when going out of dock. Did not think she would e . not seem to roll muc h • ha capsized. when By Mr. Aspinall : It was blowing pretty strong. By Captain Cook : Everything was made snug aloft on Monday. The topsail yards were about half-mast. Sh a drachWilliams, Sandon Dock-master, remembered seeing the Retriever going out into the river on Friday l as t. N o ti ce d her in the river as far as he could see her. It was bl ow i ng By y I C I e a p went tal ; n o n Cook board a ' rd The at twelve vessel o did lock fresh from W.S.W., with a strong flood tide. Had never been on board the vessel. She appeared to take very little list after she had got out of the basin into the tide-way. Had heard the evidence of Captain Heron, and was of opinion that she was in a quite safe state with the ballast and other things she had on board, to be removed into the river in that state of wind and tide. He did not consider her crank. This concluded the evidence, and the jury at once returned a verdict of " accidental death."

(From a correspondent.)—Many of your readers, especially such as are acquainted with the sunny south, will be thankful to learn that the birth-day of our beloved Queen was comme morated by the gratifying ceremony of laying the foundation stone of an English Church at Cannes. The chief promoter of this good work is Mr. Woolfield, the worthy occupant of Chateau St. Georges. The site of the little Church is most chateauhappily o c f ho L se o n rd o ß n ro t u h g e ha p m ro , p a e n r d ty m M an n Woolfield, yoftheh near o asesu t s o the ually occupied by the English residents. The blue Mediterranean is just below, and the lovely Esterelles in the distance, form ing one of the most enchanting views to be found in the South of Europe. A good number of English assembled on the ground, and several came over from Nice, on this interesting occasion. Some respectable foreigners were also present, and seemed to take much interest in the ceremony. The four foun dation corner stones were laid by Mr. and Mrs. Woolfield, formerly of Liverpool, and Mr. and Mrs. Evans. The ceremony was commenced by the reading of a portion from the Old Tes tament, by the Rev. Charles Childers, British Chaplain at Nice. The 100th Psalm was given out by the Rev. William. Ogle, and devoutly sung by the assembled people. A portion of the New Testament was then read, and a very appropriate prayer offered by the Rev. Mr. Childers. The whole was concluded by the Lord's Prayer and benediction ; and all se parated highly delighted with what had taken place. Thus, in God's good Providence, Cannes will now have an additional attraction, viz., an English Church, with every security for a faithful ministry. MUNIFICENT LEGACIES —The late Mr. H. M.

She directly afterwards inflicted a severe gash in the front of her neck, which divided the main arteries of the throat. She was conveyed to the Infirmary, where she gradually sunk and died from loss of blood. EXTENSIVE BURGLARY IN LONDON.—On Saturday after noon, an extensive robbery of silk was committed at Mr. Wm. Sanderson's, No. 7, Gresham-street. The burglars cut a hole through a sheet of glass in the skylight of the warehouse, to which was tied a rope let into the warehouse. The aperture was made of sufficient size to admit . a stout-built man with facility. Although some persons reside in the house, no noise was heard. THE COUNTESS DE NEUILLY AT BEAU3TA.EIS.—The arrival of the ex-Queen of the French at Beanmaris on Tues day evening last caused much excitement.
