Let them enjoy the sensations of fox in the fable, who, while hopelessly eye ripe rich tempting fruit above his stretch, ents his disappointment and envy in the bitter cry of ing ti Talking of places, the number that has fallen to the disposal of the present Government is unprecedentedly small. Had the lucky Whigs been in office half the time, they would have had divers Bishoprics, Judgeships, Commissionerships, Governorships, and all the other cozy, comfortable, and much-coveted ships at their disposal. It would be uncharitable to suppose that they dabbled with the black art, or that they employed the services of old women skilled in the administration of aqua tofana and chloroform ; but somehow or other they manage at all times, when in Downing-street, to get an unaccountably large share of patronage. Lord DERBY'S Government, however, has been singularly unfortunate in obtaining the great, or even the middling prizes.

POLICE MONDAY NIGHT. CONSIDERING the abundance of money in the country, and the abundance also of employment for nearly all classes of our population, it is regarded as singular that the consumption of the staples of life is not increasing to any sensible extent. In fact, during the month ended sth of August, for which the Board of Trade Returns have just been published, there appears to have been a decided de crease. We have a falling off in the consumption of the month of above 200,000 quarters of foreign wheat ; 200,000 quarters of other descriptions of grain; 114,000 quarters of Indian corn; 1,600,000 eggs ; 158,000 lbs. of coffee; 340,000 cwts. of sugar, and 170,000 lbs. of tobacco, besides a diminution in spirits, fruits, &c., with an advance, however, in the consumption of tea, cocoa, wines, and spices. Our imports, however, have not declined in proportion ; and hence, in past, the lifeless state which we ob serve in our principal markets month after month. Whilst sending away our population at the rate of 1000 per day, we need not wonder that consump tion flags. Every morning that we rise from our beds there are a thousand fewer mouths to be fed. It must be borne in mind, too, that a large portion of the emigrants at present leaving our shores are of a totally different class to those who have pre ceded them. Neither the importer nor the revenue felt any serious consequence arising from the Irish Exodus. The poor peasantry and the farming class in that country were never large contributors to the Customs or the Excise. The class, however, who are at present emigrating to Australia, are generally large consumers of customable and exciseable com modities. Let a million of this portion of our population be taken away,—it will only require a few years of emigration at the present rate to do it, —and we shall find a rather serious defalcation in the Customs and Excise revenue of this country. Prosperous as may be the population left with us, owing to the absence of competition in the labour market, and consequent high wages, we shall be come every year less able to consume the produce imported by us in return for our increasing exports. It should be borne in mind, too, that we have not as yet experienced fully the effect of this drain of our population ; as, for every thousand of them now going, a five or six months' stock of provisions and other necessaries is taken off the market. GREAT EXCITEMENT stealing a pig sold a The Canadian papers, received by the Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, bring reports of most important movements in British North America, in opposition to the conciliatory !measures which, it was considered the Impe rial Government were about to adopt, with a view to allay the excitement existing in the United States upon the Fisheries Question. A very large public meeting of all classes of the citizens of Halifax, was held in Hamilton, Nova Scotia, rumoured ' to petition her Majesty it surrender of the rights of Fishe gard to the British subjects by the convention of 181 was called to the chair ; and having introduced the sub ject before the meeting, a series of resolutions by Mr. Doyle, M.P.P., expressing the satisfactic Mayor ;were read which the citizens felt at the determination which her Majesty's Government had expressed—" to remove all ground of complaint on the part of the colonies, in conse quence of the encroachments of the fishing vessels of the United States upon the reserved fishing grounds of British America"—and also approving the judicious measures adopted by Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, to carry out such determination. They "were reluctant to believe that because a few threatening speeches had been made in congress, and a single ship of war had visited their coast, the Queen's Government would relax their vigilant supervision over British industry, or weakly give up rights secured by treaty stipulations." The resolutions went on to comment upon the importance to a maritime nation of supporting its fisheries, as the source by which its navy might be manned ; and stated, that although, both France and the United States had aided theirs by a sys tem of bounties, and had now 30,000 men engaged in them, the fisheries of British America had been prosecuted with success, without any bounty, " until her shores were peo pled with a hardy class of men, who consumed almost delusively the manufactures of England in peace, and who, in time of danger, would leap into the shrouds of their national ships to defend the flag they reverence." The resolutions concluded by expressing an opinion, that they had nothing to fear, in ease of a collision between the two countries, and by deprecating the deliberate sacrifice of the interests of British America by any weak conces- The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 4th of Sept. gives the following results when compared with the previous week : Public deposits .. £ 6,667,129; Increase £348,701 4 Other deposits .. .. 12,136,546 ; Decrease 501,659 Rest .. 3,549,003; Increase 323,239 On the other side of the account — Government securities £14,189,182 ; the same as before. Other securities.. .. 11,100,487; Increase 453.764 Notes unemployed .. 12,542,790; Decrease 281,685 The amount of notes in circulation is £22,811,285, being an increase of £190,850; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £21,852,572, show ing a decrease of f 61,182 when compared with the preceding return. The rest in March last, after the payment of the increased dividend of 4 per cent., was £3,022,070.. On the present occasion it is £3,549,003, and 4 per cent. deducted from this would leave only £2,966,883; being £55,197 less than after the last dividend. It being understood that the rest is to be kept at £3,000,000, a smaller division than 4 per cent. must therefore be anticipated. Thus far the proceedings of the meeting seemed to meet general approbation ; but another honorable gentleman,- -Mr. J. W. Johnston, M.P.P.,—stated that he thought they should at once bring their opinions on the subject before his excellency the governor, with a view that they should be laid at the foot of the Throne. He accordingly read a memorial to Colonel Sir Y. Gaspard le Merchant, containing those opinions. The leading points in the documents are, that the colonists of Nova Scotia regard all right of fishing within three miles of their coasts and shores, or of entering their bays, creeks, and harbours, except for shelter; or for wood and water, as having been renounced by the United States under the convention treaty of 1818. If the Americans are permitted to enter those bays, creeks, or harbours, they state that it will be impossible to prevent them fishing upon their grounds as freely as their own fishermen. They contend too, that such a concession would lead to the introduction of con traband goods, to the• serious injury of the revenue ; and they treat the privilege offered them of being permitted to fish in American waters as entirely worthless. In the memorial to her Majesty their views are expressed in a still stronger manner. They insist that their bays and creeks should be measu-vd from headland to headland— which would of course close up the Bay of Fundy from the United States fishermen ; and they conclude : " Your memorialists deprecate all negotiation—all compromise on the subject. The Americans will not — probably they cannot—grant an equivalent for the pri vileges they seek ; and the only security for the Colonies is the entire abandonment'of the present negotiations. " Your memorialists most earnestly entreat your Ma jesty that the 'existing fishery restrictions may be pre served in their letter, and that your Majesty's power may be put forth to prevent their violation." OUR SHARE MARKET has been extremely inac tive all week, with scarcely a fluctuation in prices; the general tendency of which has been upwards.. Mr. Glyn has resigned the chairmanship of the London and North-Western, in consequence of ill health, but we believe he will still retain a seat at the board. His resignation has induced some heavy real sales of this stock.

The memorial was presented to his Erzellency, and will doubtless by this time have reached the hands of the Ministry. PRODUCE. —We have experienced a. (inlet week in our Produce market, with little alteration in prices of. the leading articles of SUGAR, SPIRITS, and TEA:; while COFFEE may be quoted firm, but without any perceptible advance. DYESTUFFS are very dull, and being in excess of demand, are a little lower. INDIGO, however, owing to unfa vourable accounts of the crop, is 2d. to 3d. per lb. higher. TALLOW is in good demand, and worse to buy. In other articles there is little change, and a general dulness has prevailed. COTTON.—Since our last notice the market generally has been steady, but up to to-day without any apparent activity, prices on Friday being nomi nally the same as on this day se'nnight. In the interim, the Canada's advices stating that the weather was unsettled in Alabama and Florida, and that fears were entertained of probable damage from a storm which passed over that district on the 26th and 27th ultimo, as to the growing crop, have come to hand, and holders were induced to with draw their supplies from the market.. Under these circumstances, prices have advanced from 1-16 d. to iii. per lb. on the lower qualities of American, but other sorts are unchanged. The market closed firmly, and with animation. The sales of Friday were 6,000, of Saturday 5,000 bales—of which speculators took 2,000; and to-day 12,000 changed hands, speculators and exporters taking 5,000 American. The import since Friday is 5,000 ~ales. lArooL.--We extract the following from the circular of Messrs. Hughes and Ronald, wool brokers, of this town, published on Friday last : " The public sales here on the 9th and 10th instant consisted of 5,294 bales of colonial and foreign, and brought together a good attendance of the trade. The Australian were almost entirely Adelaide Wools, part of which were of a superior class, and well got up, and fetched satisfactory prices ; there was also a good portion of unwashed, which sold at full rates ; many of the marks were, however, in indifferent condition, being very moisty, sandy, and wasty, which sold at relatively lower prices. On the whole, the prices are about equal to the average of the late London sales, excepting for the Sydney, which were of a good family and in fair condition, but did not bring prices in proportion to their merits. Buenos Ayres were neglected, and the greater part withdrawn. All the Cordova were also withdrawn, but several sales have been made by private contract. East India sold with great spirit,. fully maintaining previous rates, and the whole found ready buyers. Most of the other descriptions offered commanded little attention, and were, for the most part, withdrawn. The next public sales of Colonial in London are fixed for the 14th of October. So far, only about 30,000 bales have arrived, and at present it is difficult to state the quantity likely to be brought forward, but it is supposed that it will be about 50,000 bales." IRON.—At a meeting of Ironmasters, held on Wednesday last at Wolverhampton, the puddlers having offered to go to work if an advance was allowed, the Birmingham Journal says :—" A reso lution was passed declaring a general advance of 20s. per ton on all finished Iron, with a propor tionable per centage upon the wages of the work men engaged in its manufacture, to take place from the Ist of October next. This resolution will doubtless be confirmed at the general meeting of the trade to be held on the 30th instant, although we are well aware that great anxiety is felt by some, whose opinions are worthy of much consideration, as to the effect that may result. There are, how ever, others sufficiently sanguine to look forward to such a revival as will call for still further advances, and certainly a very considerable speculative de mand seems to be already opening up, and business has been freely transacted at the advanced rates." A similar storm appears b have been brewing at the seat of the Canadian Government itself, in. which Mr. HINcKS, after the debate on the address, made a strong speech, accounting for not having moved a condemnation of the home Government for its conduct on this question, but stating that on general questions, " while he held his place as-a Canadian Minister, being as much a Minister of the Crown as Lord Derby was, he should never con sider for a moment what might be the opinion of a British Minister." We have no doubt that much of this heat has arisen from the people of British America being imperfectly in formed as to the real intentions of Lord Derby's Govern ment. It was stated by Sir DENrs LE MARCHANT, at Halifax, that he had himself received no official informa tion on the subject ; and his Worship the Mayor of HALIFAX, who was chairman at the meeting, stated that the data► which they had were " the strong opinions of the English journals"—of course, the Whig journals. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY.—An accident of a very serious character, resulting in the loss of two lives and the injury of several persons, occurred on the above line of railway on Wednesday evening last. The following de tails respecting the sad catastrophe have been obtained on the spot :—The train was one of the Great Northern Company, which leaves the Sheffield station at 9.10 p.m., in order to arrive at Retford in time for the mail train from the north, which is due at the latter place at 10 o'clock. On Wednesday evening the train consisting of a light engine and tender, driver Samuel Wright, stoker William Lee, a first-class carriage with one passenger in it, a third-class carriage with four passengers, a break-van with the guard, Charles Tuckwood, in it, and two goods waggons, started from Sheffield about the regular time. On arriving at the embankment about three quarters of a mile from the Woodhouse junction, and less than four miles from Sheffield, the train from some cause or other got off the line ; the engine and carriages ran some dis tance, tearing up the rails and earth, when the former fell over the south side of the embankment, which is here 50 feet high, and the latter over the north side, the driver being crushed under the fire-box, where he lay, with his legs burning, for upwards of an hour, before he could be extricated. The guard was killed on the spot, and the other persons in the train more or less injured. Poor Wright's legs are described as having been burnt to a cinder, and almost off, and notwithstanding that every at tention was paid to him which surgical skill could suggest, he died next morning, It appears that a short time back he ran his engine into another at Leeds, for which he was suspended for two months, and WedileadAy was the flipt slay bf Mnalo4§4 !Nat THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 185'2. the pl after Slout was apprehended tot in saying that he purchase , l he did not know, but whose perso he saw him.

On Saturday the extraordinary meeting of this com pany, convened by a body of the shareholders, was held at the Royal Hotel, Chester. The meeting was announced to take place at twelve o'clock, but before that hour the large room of the hotel was well filled. At the appointed hour Mr. Wm. Wardell, chairman of the Board of Direc- tors, took the chair, and was accompanied by a ver y l arge proportion of the directors. Mr. Butt, Q.C., was pre sent, and acted as the chairman's legal adviser. The ad vertisement calling the meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN stated the circumstances under which the meeting had been called, and requested that all mani festations of feeling should be avoided. Mr. MUNROE then rose, charging the present directors with extravagance, and non-performance of their duty to the shareholders, besides having a leaning to the iniqui. tous contract with the Great Western Company, by which • their property would be confiscated, and proposed that the following directors, viz., Messrs. W. Wardell, Robt. Roy, T. J. Badger, and E. F. French, should be imme diately removed from their office, and their places sup plied by Robert Gardner, of Lancashire, Henry Kennedy and James Durham (London), and Andrew Preston (Not tingham). He also moved that Messrs. John Williams, Richard Ellerton, John Royle, and James Haswell, should retire, and their places be supplied by George Monro and Douglas Campbell (Edinburgh), and W. G. Thompson and Henry Vigors East, (of London). Mr. KENNEDY, of London, seconded the motion. Mr. ROY defended the Board from the imputations cast upon them by Mr. Munroe ; and charged Mr. Glynn, the Chairman of the London and North-Western Company, and the Solicitor, with having bought up the shares of the Company, to the amount of £lO,OOO, and divided them amongst their servants ' • and stated that the directors had only used proxies to defend themselves against the Lon don and North-Western influence. They were under contracts to other companies which they could not break ; and it would be for the benefit of the shareholders if those contracts were carried out. The question was, whether they should have the broad guage brought down to Liver pool ; and he accused Mr. Munroe and his friends of be ing instruments of the London and North-Western Com- DSTONE, pany, who had furnished them with free tickets to attend that meeting. In conclusion, he intimated that he should not propose an amendment, because the motion before the meeting was illegal. A long and personal discussion followed, and at the close the Chairman refused to put Mr. Munroe's motion. Great excitement and noise here took place. A resolu tion was then proposed, for the adjournment of the meet ing until the 20th instant, for the further consideration of the question, On a division the motion was lost, the directors and their friends voting in the majority. A poll cm; then demanded, and the meeting was adjourned to yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, to receive the report of the scrutineers. YESTERDAY, Yesterday, at the time appointed, a number of share holders interested on the respective sides of the question assembled, when the Chairman of the Board of Directors read to the meeting a letter from Mr. Darkin, the secre tary, to the effect that the scrutineers would not be ready until half-past four o'clock. The meeting was accord ingly adjourned to that hour. On the re-assembling of the shareholders at half-past four o'clock, several gentlemen were again in attendance. Amongst them were the chairman and directors, and a large body of shareholders, on the one side, and Mr. Mon roe, and several shareholders in favour of the removal of the directors, on the other. The respective parties re mained, waiting for the report of the scrutineers, until a few minutes after six o'clock, at which hour (there ap pearing no probability of the appearance of these gentle men for some time), the Chairman announced the further adjournment of the meeting until a quarter past seven o'clock. In the meantime a notice was posted on the doors of the room where the meeting was held, to the effect that it was adjourned until a quarter past eight o'clock. The chairman, however, again arrived at a quarter past seven, and stated that he did not recognise the adjournment beyond a quarter past seven. A letter from Mr. Darkin, the secretary, was then placed in his hands, which he read. It was to the effect that the scrutineers had found their labours more difficult than they imagined, and that they were still unable to present their report. After reading this letter, the chairman declared the meeting further adjourned until to-day, at twelve o'clock. It was believed in Chester last night that this delay is mainiy to serve the tactics of Mr. Gutch, who is acting as scrutineer for the shareholders favourable to the London and North-western alliance. The most intense interest is manifested as to the result ; but it was last night confidently stated that the proxies show the directors to be in a majority of 1,600. FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE. On Sunday morning a fire of a very serious character broke out in one of the large warehouses numbered 30 in London-wall, occupied conjointly by Messrs. Brown and Co. the extensive drysalters • Messrs. Gibbins, Brothers, varnish manufacturers •, Mr;Thomas Tarn, carpet weaver; Messrs. Springfield and Co., silk merchants; and Messrs. Dobson and Co., ale and porter merchants. The pre mises, which had a frontage of 60 feet, were almost as deep. and four floors in height. At the time of the out break there were in Messrs. Gibbins's stores upwards of 4000 gallons of prepared varnish, besides an immense stock of other articles, almost of as inflammable a charac ter. In Messrs. Springfields' warehouse was a stock of silk, roughly valued at £2OOO, while Messrs. Brown's compartments were filled with nearly every description of goods used in their business. The top floor was occupied by Mr. Tarn as a factory, and was fitted up with sixteen large looms, filled with yarn, for weaving carpets, and other valuable pieces of machinery. The engines were soon set to work, and it was expected that the fire would be extinguished in the course of a very few minutes, and before much damage could be done. Unfortunately such was not the case, for while the firemen were actively em ployed in pumping the water, the flames rushed through one of the windows at the back, a distance of several feet. The draught thus given by the broken window caused the destructive element to extend almost with the rapidity of electricity, and, having travelled up the staircase, it took complete possession of the second floor, used by Messrs. Gibbins as one of their warehouses. Fortunately the principal stock of varnish and other inflammable articles was not in that part of the premises ; but, upon Mr, Superintendent Braidwood finding that so large a stock was in the ground floor, he at once sent off for the assist ance of his engines in the Southwark-bridge-road, Far ringdon-street, Holborn, and Chandos-street stations. By the time this extra aid arrived, the flames had ascended to the staircase, and were working into Mr. Tarn's carpet manufactory. Fortunately the water furnished by the mains was most abundant, and, in the course of a couple of hours, had the effect of entirely extinguishing the flames. The damage done, however, is very considerable; but when the extent of the premises, and the vast stock of combustible matter therein, are taken into considera tion, the " stop," as it is technically called by the firemen, mly be described as being cne of the best that has been effected fora considerable time, On Sunday afternoon, about 20 minutes to 2 o'clock, a most destructive fire, caused by an ignition and explosion of gas, and attended with loss of life, took place at the house of Mr. White, linen-draper and hosier, 65, Middle sex -street, Somer's-town. It appears that about the time in question, the servant girl went into the shop with a candle, and the gas, which it is believed had been impro perly turned off on Saturday night and filled the place, at once ignited and exploded, setting fire to the combustible stock and premises. So rapid were the flames that the upstair lodgers, who were seated at their dinner at the time, had great difficulty in effecting their escape by the windows. On the second floor lived a man named Bantam, with his wife and four children. Some of them were thrown from the windows and caught by the police. The poor man Balham, having lowered his wife, clung for some time to the window-sill, with, as he thought, the last child in his artns,until arrangements were made below to catch him safely, the floor of his apartment by this time being in flames. It was subsequently discovered that Henry Balham, a child of 3 1 years old, was missing ; and the remains of the poor little fellow, frightfully charred, were subsequently found in the ruins. The entire of the house No. 65 was destroyed; but, by the exertions of the firemen and police, it was prevented from extending further. The total loss of property by this disastrous event is very considerable. Mr. White, who was absent from home when the occurrence took place, was insured in the Royal Liverpool Fire Office ; but Mr. Balham and none of the neighbours, we understand, were insured. A TRUE STORY.—Not long ago, a jolly tar returned to Arbroath, from a long and perilous voyage, to pay a visit to anxious friends, and on his arrival, to his great delight, found that an aged relative had bequeathed to him several thousand pounds. On getting the cash " among his fingers," and in conformity with the motto and character of the sailor, " let me spend all my money and work for more," he commenced a career of prodigality happily seldom paralleled. With the view of getting rid of the " slider" as quickly as possible, he resolved upon "taking to himself a wife ;" and we need scarcely say that his courtship was but brief. On passing a certain dwelling one day, he saw her " at the window with her fixings on ;" he saw her who was soon to be his bride ; he was capti vated; he stared in wonderment awhile; his heart throbbed 'aim him ; he bolted in, " popped the question," was Three days passed not over his head when he was a married man, she a wedded wife.

DEATH BY DROWNING.—:AB inquest was held before H. H. Statham, Esq., deputy-coroner, on the body of a man named William Wright, who was accidentally drowned near the north bridge of George's Dock, on Sa turday night, about twelve o'clock. The deceased was a fisherman, aged twenty-seven years, but how he fell into the dock did not appear. He was got out in a few minutes and removed to the receiving-house, where every means were used for his recovery, but without effect.—Verdict, found drowned. ANOTHER CASE.—An inquest was held on the body of a boy, named John Hampson, aged eight years, of 12, Fraser-street, who, on Saturday afternoon, went to bathe in a pit above St. Anthony's Chapel, and got out of his depth. The body was recovered in about ten minutes, but he was quite dead. Verdict, accidentally drowned. BURNING.—On the body of a child, aged three years, named John Marlow, who lived in No. 3 Court, Whitley street. Three weeks ago on Friday last, the mother of the deceased went out, and left him in the house alone. During her absence his clothes caught fire, and he was so burnt about the breast and arms as to cause his death on Thursday night last. Verdict, found burnt, but how it happened no evidence appears-before the jury._ , ttoNSLAUGHTER.—Ori the body of Grace Jones, aged 57, who lived in No. 13 Court, Hornby-street. The ac cused was a person named Thomas Yates, who lived in the same house with deceased and her daughter. On Sa turday night the prisoner went home drunk, between ten and eleven o'clock, and, addressing the daughter of the deceased, said—" You bloody faggot, have you no supper ready for me ?" She replied', she had no means ;on which he abused her and knocked her down. After that she escaped out of the house, and the prisoner went out also. About twelve o'clock he returned and knocked at the door. The deceased opened it, on which the prisoner hit herwith his fist on the side of the head. She fell down inside the door, and the prisoner tried to throw her down the steps out side, but she caught hold of the door handle and struggled with him some time. He overcame her and threw her down the steps, and her head came in contact with the flags. She then lay with her head in the kennel and her feet on the bottom step, there being four steps up to the door. The prisoner seeing what he had done, came out and assisted to carry her into the house, and she was placed on a small bed in the parlour, where she died almost immediately. Mr. Twiss Riordan, surgeon, said he saw the deceased about half-past one o'clock on Sunday morning. She was then dead. He had since made a post mortem examination of the body and found that the base of the skull was fractured, which was the cause of death. The prisoner made a long state ment to the jury, the chief point of which was, that the deceased fell down the steps accidentally and not by any force of his. The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of manslaughter against the prisoner, and he was forthwith committed to Kirkdale, to take his trial at the next assizes. THOMAS COWLEY, aged sixteen, living at No. 93, Limekiln-lane, was walking with his companion, Joseph Mosley, near St. Domingo-pit, Everton, on Sunday afternoon, when another lad, who had an old quarrel with Mosley, rushed up to them and stabbed Cowley severely above the left hip. He then ran away. Cowley was conveyed to the Northern Hospital, where the wound wasdressed, and he is now progressing favourably. THE FOLLOWING EXTRAORDINARY STATMMENT ap. pears in the Droit:—" The tribunals will, without doubt, soon be called upon to try a case which, from the rank of the accused person, will excite a great sensation. The Countess , belonging to a princely house of one of the small states of the Germanic Confederation, mani fested warm passions at an early period, and to prevent their producing disgraceful results, her family hastened to get her married. Marriage did not subdue her pas sions, and after a few stormy years she became a widow. Her misconduct now knew no limit. Forgetting her education, her rank, and all respect for propriety, she had a succession of lovers and gradually descended in the social scale until she went off with a traveller for a com mercial house, whose character was bad, and who had been attracted as much by her large fortune as by her beauty. After an absence of some time they returned to Paris, and took up their abode in a splendid hotel of the Chaussee d'Antin, where the clerk caused her to put her signature to bills which he got discounted, and paid his debts with the proceeds, The Count of —, being informed of the degrading life that the countess was lead ing in Paris, endeavoured to effect a change by causing her separation from the man with whom she was living, but this did not suffice. She took one lover after another, until at last the man chosen was a low Jew, who treated her with cruelty, and robbed her of her property, and then abandoned her in a state of destitution, when in an ad vanced state of pregnancy. Soon after this the external signs of pregnancy had disappeared, and rumour was cur hadsr t e r n o t y e t d h ahte her s in e f a l n . b T ee h n is s r e u c m r e o t u l yr havingdel v er r e e d e , e a h n e d d er ears justice, an inquiry was instituted, and it was ascertained that a child had been born alive, and immediately strangled and thrown down a water-closet.

ASSAULT. —Ricl.ard Owens and Richard Westbury were charged with an assault and robbery in Rathbone street, on Saturday night, between twelve and one o'clock. The complainant, George Ennis, stated that he was • , ,come when one of the prisoners attacked him and knocked off his hat, with which he ran off. The other knocked him down and held him by the throat, until a police-officer came up. It was stated by the attorney for the defendants that no such thing as robbery was in tended by them, and that they were respectable working men in the employment of Mr. Neville, brass-founder, Great Charlotte-street. The magistrates dismissed the charge of robbery, but fined them 20s. each, and costs, for the assault, and in default of payment to be com mitted for one month. SUSPECTED TUIEVES.—Five Irishmen were brought before the county magistrates at Clayton.-square, charged as suspicious characters, having been apprehended on the Aigburth-road at a late hour on Friday night. The police, however, being unable to make anything out against them, they were discharged. THE GOVER The vile maxim CESS MARKET, buy in the c iJr. eapest market been so constantly dinneu ,) the public ear that it u., fair to find admission into our national code of ethics. It is adopted in circles and applied to transactions from which it might have been expected that it would for ever remain excluded, and is acted upon to an extent of sordid oppression against which every better feeling revolts. We are not exaggerating the case of that unhappy class called " Daily Governesses" by stating that it is-by no means an uncommon can for an educated and often well born young woman to bestow from four to five hours a-day in teaching the children of mothers who live in luxury and splendour, and move in what are calle3 good circles, for a miserable yearly pittance of between eight and twelve pounds a-year, to which in some instances is added the privilegeof eating the midday meal with the chi' dren. anyof the "ladies' who are in the practice of driv ing such bargains with the less fortunate of their sex were to be remonstrated with, the answer probably would be, that there are plenty of young women, of good character lind excellent education, to be had at the price, and that she does not,.therefore, see why she siiould give more than it is usual to.pay to persons of this description. In other words, she would contend, though she might not express it in so technical a phrase, that she has a right to " buy in the cheapest market." A 3 a mere question of law, of course, this is perfectly true ; all contracts for labour and s erv i ce are f ree , an d i t is rigt that they should be so. This, however, is not what the lady mother means. She intends her plea to clear her in another and a higher court, the court of con science. It is in this court that we desire to plead the cause of the poor victim of the depression of prices in the governess market. We utterly deny, then, that any human being has a right to employ the ser vices of another human being.at a rate at which it is im possible for the party employed to make a decent and comfortable livelihood by the largest devotion of time and labour which human nature is in the long run ably to sustain. Let us examine the case of the daily governess by this rule. Giving four or five hours of her day to one set of pupils, she could not undertake more than two sets in a day. We question whether it would be possible for her to make such arrangements as regards hours, as would enable her to attend in two families. But we will assume this, and found our budget for the daily governess on this the most favourable assumption. It will, then, stand as follows : Income, two families, say at £lO each .... .... .. „ __. .. .. £2O a. 0 Outgoings:— Dress, being expected always to ap . . pear respectable and ladylike,-- supposing her to do all the needle work herself in spare hours, and to purchase only the mate rials, say Shoeleather, including walks in the park with " the little dears," say four pair of shoes at 6s. 6d. .... 1 6 0 Washing, at the rate of Is. 6d. a week, the usual allowance for ser- vants in respectable families . 3 18 0 Balance ... , ....... £4 .16 0 Oct of this sum of £4 16 5 ., or Is. 10d. a week, the daily governess has to provide her board and lodging. How is this possible, even supposing her to hava the advantage of dinner in the nursery in one of the two families she attends ? To be sure, she may live with her own family, perhaps with a widowed mother, and, so, not being at any expense for her lodging, may be enabled to lay out the magnificent sum of 2d. each day for breakfast and tea, reserving a clear Bd. for her Sunday dinner, which, of course, she has to provide. In this case, then, which proceeds on the favourable supposition that the daily governess is all the year round in full employ in two families, the children of two houses in some of our fashionable streets or squares are being educated, partly at the expense of the poor widow who gives her daughter houseroom, in order that she may be a " useful member of society," and partly at the expense of the poor gover ness herself, whose first and last daily meal is provided at the starvation allowance of ld. per meal ! And this with out reckoning upon occasional interruptions.of employ ment, or attacks of sickness, but too likely to supervene under such circumstances; and without the possibility of making a provision for old age, or laying: by a shilling against a rainy day. So much foi the poor governess, who, though her skin is as white as that of her employers, is purchased, like any other article of commerce on the " Free Trade" principle of "buying in the cheapest market," whose bodily strength and mental power is placed at the disposal of the purchaser, who is, in fact, bought up, body, soul, and spirit,—with out the advantage which the negro slave has, of being provided for by her owners. It is not, .however, the poor governess alone that claims our sympathy. We have a word to say as well on behalf of the poor children whose education is thus purchased by their unna tural parent " in the cheapest market." What sort of education is a daily governess placed in the circumstances described likely to impart ? Is there a moral proba bility of her acting in any other spirit than that of a hire ling ? Must not the very vileness of the price at which she has been hired, and the miserable state of pinching poverty and gnawing care which is the consequence of the inhuman bargain, remind her at every instant of her toilsome, cheerless existence, that she is regarded merely as a hireling, and that a hireling of the basest sort,--far below the position of the hireling who bastes the meat in the kitchen, or the scullery-maid who performs the most menial offices of the house ? Is it reasonable to expect that a person whose necessity is thus inhumanly taken advantage of to make her sell her services at a price insufficient to keep body and soul together, upon whom the sense of her degradation is forced by every circum stance of her position, should bring to the all-important task imposed upon her that spirit of love, that sense of moral responsibility, that cheerfulness and elasticity of mind, without which education sinks down, to a moral and intellectual drudgery, a mere carding and milling of the child's mind and heart, the very reverse of what edu cation ought to be ? Do mothers ever contemplate the possibility that,through some of those reverses of fortune which are far from un common, and which, under the operation of the principle of " buying in the cheapest market," and sure to become more and more frequent, their own daughters may be re duced to the same miserable condition as the daily gover ness, that they may in their turn become the victims of the system introduced into the governess market, and have to spend their live 3 in the daily drudgery of teaching, at a price which provides them scantily with necessary clothing, with twopence a-day for meals, and an eight pence extra for their Sunday's dinner, and leaves them to chance for house-room, while they are able to work, and to the prospect of utter destitution in failing health or in old age ? If mothers shrink from the thought of their daughters being doomed to so miserable a lot, let them not take base advantage of the iniquity of the governess market, but let them, on the principle of doing unto others as they would wish to be done by, pay to the person who helps them to educate their children, not a just merely, but a liberal remunerati on f or serv i ces which, a hicfha,ir price,wb en p b r u o t p p errliyeelss.jo performed, e_h are not o n ly wor thy of n B ull. CRICKET.—A cricket -match was played on Saturday, on the ground of the Grosvenor Cricket Club, between the Collegiate C. C., of Liverpool, and the C. C. of St. Aidan's School.
