The medical officer reported that the mortality of the borough con tinued 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, and that it was frequented altogether by other parties: If the street required to be altered, let those who sat pew-free pay fora 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 ney 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 4s, 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 during 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 tha 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-dock 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 garbOUrMa9terS ' Com mittee. A DRII,NKEN 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 ann, 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 King'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, 8 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, Mt RIVAL RAILWAY COMPANIES.—On Friday, the rail way fares between Liverpool and Southport were greatly reduced, and parties may now obtain return tickets for one shilling, thus enablinr , them to travel between Liv er p oo l an d Southport and back , a'distance of about 42 miles, at little more than a farthing a mile. The public are thus reaping the 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 tuns into their main line near Ormskirk. On Friday there was unusual excitement at the Exchange Station, from which both compa ny's trains Start, and we understand that there was an immense increase in the number of passengers. 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 their's is "the only direct line to Southport—nine trains per day." .CICAIL , GE AGAINST TUE CAFTAIN OF THE JAMES BAINES.— At the Liverpool Police4court, on Saturday, Mr. Sowler applied for a warrant 'against Captain M`Donnell and other ofhcers of the Royal mail ship James Baines, for an alleged assaeit committed on a Dr. Carr during the late homeward voyage from Melbourne. Mr. Sowler stated that on the '2sth of March last his client, who had made himself obnoxious to 'the captain for a prominent part he had taken in the main lenance of the rights•or the passengers, was taking a vvek on the poop, when Captain M`Dotinell went behind him, 'lacked and afterwards - made him the object of great annoyances, fining him 20s. 'kr an alleged assault on a person named Bembridge, andtonfining him in 'a place below unfit fora human being to 'live in. The magistrates, considering the long interval which had elapsed -since the vesselhad been in port, which had afforded Dr. Carr ample opportunity to bring his case earlierlefore the tourt, , and considering 'that it would be unjust to the owners of 'the 'ship to cause herdetention at the very time she was advertised, under a penalty to 'the Governmetit,lo sail withtheTost-office mails, refused to ac cede to the application. The ;presiding magistratewere Mr. S. liolme 'a nd Mr. Anderson. LIVERTDPL LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASSCCIATION. — This body celebrated its twetityzfifth anniversary on Thursday last, at Eastham. The fete included the customary annual ball ha aid of the funds of the benevolent institution connected with the association, whiCh was preceded by an elegant • and sub stantild cold collation, served in the banquetting room. The festivities were honoured by the presence of the mayor (Mr. J. B. Tobin), Mr. Charles Turner, several of the members of the corporation, &c. Mr. Jonathan Williamson, of the firm of Messrs. Geo. Pim andtCo., 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 Victualler? Association, and the Health of the , Chairman and Comniittee," 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 ten-fold. Those --around this table—many of them—can recollect the time when 'Liverpool did norooast of more than 400,000 tons of shipping, but now there are upwards of 'OOO,OOO. (Cheers.) It is steadily increasing in importance—=rising more rapidly than any port in the . kingdom—andolreacly far exceeds in its foreign commerce that of the metropolis : andl believe that the acquisition recently made of the Birkenhead property 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 cannotoffer." (Cheers.) After other toasts had been given; -and responded to, the large room was cleared, and the ball commenced. CHARGE OV MANSLAUGHTER.An inquest was held before the deputy-coroner on Saturday; on the body of Ann, wife of William Kelly.—Mary, wife of Christopher Shaw, Jackson's ! court, Sparling-street, said she knew the deceased, who lived next door to her. Never 'heard any quarrel in the house between the deceased and her husband. Deceased event to the Workhouse last Thursday. week ; her husband went with her. Before she went witness was •inher house, and heard her ..a, lac Lw L., at., uald ~hc would 100 beLtw attended to,:but she was 'determined to go, saying that she should be better taken care of. 'Witness never saw her again. -Similar testimoney was given by Mary Pender, and other' neighbours.—Jane 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 partimilarly.called to the deceased on Friday, about twelve o'clock, when she appeared to be dying. The surgeon was present, and told her that she 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 -; thatshe told the neighbours he had done so.; and that she had not been well-since. At her desire the prisoner was sent for, 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 nowt" 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 thedast 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, was present when the deceased made the statement detailed by Mr. Carr. 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 discolouratian, 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 have 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 ni-Ikea a very pretty dish, and is good and economical. THE END , or BUSINESS.—R is well to remember that the end of business is happiness, and all that we gain on the road is so much clear 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 exeusea man for neglecting the civilities 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 which the whole edifice topples to its ruin. EVERYTHING HAS A BEGINNING.— Newton was Once a child, and often got whipped ; Alexander ran in leading- strings ; and Caesar was thrashed for stealing a top.—New Monthly Magazine. MARRIAGE 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'!" • 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 : I'll go back and treat you to a glass for your resolution." THE 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 ViromAN,—The last and best of all the series. If we ha,ve her for a toast, we won't ask for any but-her. THE EXTEAORDINA.EY POISONING CASE.—Mr. J. S. Woofer , a gentleman of fortune, residing at Burdon, near parlin g t, n , whose wife died lately under suspicious circumstances, w as arrested, on Saturday 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 DUEL is reported to have taken place between Generals . Changarnier and Morny, in which the latter was run through the body. Mn. THACKER'S:It has secured a berth on board one of th e British and North American mail steamers, which will Eail hence for Boston, United States, in Oct. next. TUE THABOE, with advices from Constantinople to the 20th and the Crimea to the 23rd July, arrived at Marseilles on Sit urday. The Golden Fleece had also arrived. A LAWYER in Ferrara died, a few weeks since, making his own soul heir to his whole estate, 6,000,000 of francs, which. were to be expended in masses for its repose. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. —Amongst those who, having undergone the necessary examinations for the diploma, were admitted members of the college at'the meeting of the Court of Examiners on th& 3rii instant, was Mr. Christopher Joseph Massey, Liverpool. 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 employd 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, 368,764. 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 160,209 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. STRAHAN, 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 Payne and 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 September dividends had been paid to Smith and Payne for Mr. Sykes, while the pass-book of Dr, Griffith showed he had been duly creditedfor 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. Seoren LANDED PROPRIETORS.—The following is :the gross total number-of landed proprietors standing on the vain aticrwrolls of the various Scotch counties in 1854—viz., in Aberdeen, 341; Argyll, 181; Aye, 456 ; Banff; 45 ' • Berwick, 306.; Bate, 9 ; Caithness, 37; Clackmannan, 35 • Dumbarton, :263 ; Dumf r ies, 510 ; Fdinb urg h, 562 ; El g i n , 5"5 ' • Fife, 086; Forfar, 358 ; Haddington, 124 ; Inverness, 120 ; Kincardine, 2; Kinross, 164 ; Kirkcudbright, 413 ; Linlithgow, 164.; Nairn, 15 ' Orkney, 329 ; Peebles, 88; Perth, 696 ; Ross, 69 Roxburgh, 429 • Selkirk, 43.; Stirling, 615 ; Sutherland, 8; and Wigtown, 60; 694 of these estates were valued at between £5OO and £l,OOO, 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 V. 0,000. ECLI`PSE OP AN EITROPEAN 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 ordonnance just published by the Minister of:State for Oldenburg. Kniphausen was the . sniallest 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 wym A REAL TAIL—At Middlesborough-on-Tees there exists a-singular freak sff 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 or sacrum, not the os coccygis 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 off; 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. It may prove of great inconvenience to the pos sessor in after life, as it will intrude upon the seat of honour. DEATH FROM GLANDERS.—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 Rahbone-place, Oxford-street—her sufferings having been, as described by her medical attendants, of the most excruciating nature. Her body. presented a dreadful-spectacle, immediately after death assuming the appearance of one mass of putrefac lion. 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 knight 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 imssing 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 •sr4. and it is hoped that a clue to the murderers will be very shortly found." DARING ROBBERY IN LONDON.—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, known 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, for it was discovered that while some watched the motions of the giant and persons in the bar, others of the party 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. ABDUCTION.—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 June.last. 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 askingbis 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 PROM ADRIAROPLE states that the 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 orruffians who pretended they -acted under the orders of Yani, a robber Chief, who has acquired an unenviable celebrity in that .locality. Yani, a species of Fra Diavolo, who boasts that lie only robs the rich to give to the poor, having heard of the .outrage, visited the widow, 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 tha nobody shall ever.disgrace my name with impunity." INTRODITCTION ,OT' INDIRECT TAXATION INTO TURKEY. —The Morning Herald Constantinople correspondent writes : "Au important measure 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 tbe.colleetion. I believe it will be rendered obligatory on every one to use stamped pape r "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 soindirectly." Wrila NEXT ?—Underthis heading, the New York Journal of Commerce says :—Banium, having used up the babies, much to his own advantage no doubt, is going to try his hand at the mothers and young ladies. He has issued a programme of over $5,000, which he proposes to present in premiums " to the handsomest ladies in America." There is to be one pre mium of $1,000; one of $300; one of $250; one of $200; one of $150; six of $1.00; 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, daguereo 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 be 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. AGRioulanalL MEET. —On Saturday, about four hundred gentlemen interested in the success of agriculture assembled, according to custom, at Mr. Mechi's model- farm at Tiptree , 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 agriculturalof he day ' s proceeding s was th e ex hibiti on o f new implements. A pond erous mac hi ne , th e in vention of the Earl of Dundonald, for cutting up the ground and putting down pipei 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 Cant his crops this year would well pay him. He thought that the great future for agrigUiture lay n the full development 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 w ere 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 had 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 same day 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 Owens and Richard Culshaw, charged with stealing two standard of deals, the property of Messrs. Anthony and Robinson, were acquitted. 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, who 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 Jackson 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 ail 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 from below. She was to be re moved from the Sandon to the Prince's Dock,,and was brought out of the former for that purppse. 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 come 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 know whether the ballast was confined 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 wintl south-west, and a very heavy squall at the time, the hawser of the steamer pulling her the one way, whilst the tido caught her bottom, she heeled over so much that it caused the ballast to move. She capsized and shortly sunk. Her new measurement was 4O 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 kelson. 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. Aspinall : 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 feet aft and fif 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 therewas the slightest danger , as he could not swim. Instead of objecting, he asked his frend to go too. (Laughter.) James Fisher,' one of the riggers on board at the time of the accident, deposed that he lived Sew-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 _ . have capsized. when ß ß y y 3 C hrear p .l t A, af e ' sn n ptino C nall oo b k :oa : lrt T dw i a l a e tst v wb es leo s l e wv l eh di log l lpo n ree o kt t .ty se s e t m ron t g o . roll much By Captain Cook: Everything was made snug aloft on Monday. The topsail yards were about half-mast. ShadrachWilliams, Sandon Dock-master, remembered seeing the Retriever going out into the river on Friday last. Noticed her in the river as far as he could see her. It was blowing •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." EXECUTION.—On Saturday, Joseph Meadows, convicted at the last assizes at Worcester of the murder of Mary Ann Mason, near Dudley, was hanged in front of the county gaol in the presene.4 of a large coacouse of spectators, ECCLESLISTIC.dL IkTELLIGEWCE.

ENGLISH CHURCH AT CANNES, SOUTH OF FRANCE.— (From a corfespondent.)—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 Château St. Georges. The site of the little Church is most happily chosen on the property Mr. Woolfield, near to the château of Lord Brougham, and many of the houses usually 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 dffebryedthbeyLtolride ,sßperva.yeArlr.anCdhibldeenresd.ictilo'nhe; of the New Test amen t was t h en read, and a very appropriate c p o r n ay el e u r de o awnidiolaellwsase parated highly delighted w ith w h a t h a d 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. Gibb, of the Royal Hotel, in Edinburgh, has bequeathed the sum of £13,400 to religious and charitable institutions connected with that city. ON SATURDAY, as a female who had been suffering from disease was_ breakfasting with her husband in London, she suddenly drew a razor from her pocket, and exclaimed, " This will do me good." 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. Exrmcsrvn BURGLARY rif LorrnoN.—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 NEITILLY AT BEAUMARIS.—The arrival of the ex-Queen of the French at Beanmaris on Tues day evening last caused much excitement. The streets were crowded with persons anxious to obtain a glimpse of the Royal party, which consisted of the ex-Queen, the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, Duke d'Alencon, the Princess Mar guerite, Countess Mollien, Counts D'En and Dumas and suite. Her Majesty was received in the hall of the Bulkeley Arms Hotel by Sir R. B. W. Bulkeley, of Bason-hill, the Lord Lieutenant of the county and Mayor of Beauniaris. vILITRLTY 0 IN BIRMINGHAM ;GAOL,-At the Warwiclr .

THE SUNDAY BEER BILL._A deputation on the subject of the Beer Bill had an interview with Lord Harrowby, on Sa turday,when his lordship expresseda general concurrence with the objects of the Defence Association, and, in reference to the bona fide traveller question, said he thought a traveller was one who was so far from his home as not to render it con venient for him to return there for refreshment. He said he had received a letter advising that the word . " traveller" should be struck out of the Act altogether. Withoat pledging the government, he might say that every disposition existed to accede to the views of the licensed victuallers as expressed by the deputation. A similar deputation had an int erv i ew with Lord Gre nv ill e.
