ADDRESSES TO YOUNG MEN.-011 Thursday, Professor Griffiths delivered the first of a series of addresses to young men on general subjects, in connection with the Young Men's Christian Association, at the Bible Repository, Slater-street. The lectures are free, and will be continued at st ated periods, to be publicly announced. THE WELSH ScHooLs.—A prominent and interesting feature in the funeral of the late lamented Archdeacon was the appearance of the children of the Welsh School drawn up in line on one of the terraces of the cemetery. More than 50 years ago the object of this solemn demonstration of respect laid the foundation stone of the schools. --- STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCE. —The ship Paramatta, Captain Chaplin, which arrived in the Mersey on We dnesda y morn ing, landed five sailors whom she picked up in an open boat on the Equator, in lon. 2 deg. 7 min. E., on the 2nd of August. The boat had a signal of distress flying, and, with her five occupants, had drifted for 43 days. She was bound from Prince's Island to St. Thomas, both on the African coast. When they came alongside the Paramatta they requested to be taken on board, as they could not find their port. ABERCROMBY WARD.—Mr. Peter Vine, secretary, in'a circular to the Tories of Abercromby ward, informs them that at a meeting recently held, " The Abercromby Ward Conserva tive Association has been reorganised. Mr. James Holme is appointed chairman, Mr. C. Whitley and Mr. R. Holmes vice chairmen, and Mr. William Nicholson, treasurer. The circu lar declares that the committee has been materially strength ened by the addition of new members, and they earnestly invite co-operation " in forwarding the objects of the associa tion at the next municipal election." SMOKE INFORMATIONS.—The following are the results of informations laid by the corporation officials on Friday, in connection with the smoke nuisance. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, as owners of the steam-tug Mary Agnes, were fined Os. and costs; Birkenhead Com missioners, for steamer Wirral, 10s. and costs; Thomas Croft, soapboiler, Comus-street, adjourned ; John Irven, soapboiler, Henry-street, £5 and costs ; Lawford, Lace, and Co., oil mills, sent-street, 10s.; London and North-western Railway Com pany, for the Edge-hill chimney, £5 and costs. THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT SUMMERSEAT. — The adjourned inquest on Stott, one of the guards of the East Lancashire luggage train, killed on Thursday last, at Brooks bottom Siding, Lear Summerseat Station, by a passenger train coming suddenly out of the tunnel while the luggage train was at a stand, and running into it, was held on Wed nesday, at the Derby Hotel, Bury. After several additional witnesses had been examined, the coroner expressed an opi nion that the accident had occurred through the signal not working proTerly. The jury returned a verdict of "Acci dental death." Several of the passengers are still confined from the injuries sustained, but it is believed that they are all recovering.—Mancliester Guardian. THE S.I:7YTEENTH OF OCTOBER.—On the sixteenth of this month it will be exactly three hundred years since the Protest ant Bishops Ridley and Latimer were burnt at the stake in Oxford, under the auspices of " Bloody Mary." Without any desire to make a display of our Protestant zeal, we think it only right to suggest that so important and interesting an anniversary ought not to be passed over without some sign of our consciousness of its having come round to us in the circle of time. To the cruel martyrdom of those pious and loyal men we in a great measure owe our present condition as R. Protestant people blessed with religious freedom ; and it were well to keep alive the memory of those great events, which shed an unquenchable lustre Rpm those old times, in which men were staunch and true to: he principles of that pure and :apostolic faith, which, happily for the people of England, is -still the established religion of the country.—Manchtgaer Courier. IMPUDENT FRAUD.—A memorial circumstantially drawzrup, , and purporting to be signed , by several respectable gentlemen, certifying to the truth of its , contents, was on Friday presented to the Mayor. It recommended to the consideration of the public the case of Mr. Thomas North, a fisherman, " whose boat (the Mary) came in contact with the schooner Jupiter, on the 20th September, whereby the bearer's father perished, leaving a widow and large family to lament his loss." The tale was sufficiently doleful to excite the charity of the bene volent. The loss was represented as exceeding £l2O, .end " a mother and three sisters . " were stated to be "entirely depend ent on his exertions for-support." Such facts, sustained by such singnatnres as the -document presented, could not have failed to operate on a heart less alive to charitable ,influence than his worship's; but unfortunately for the memorialist, Mr. Horsfall, M.P., whose name appeared among the certifi cants as a subscriber of , --c.",2, was with the Mayor at the time of presentation, and helms ignorant of Mr. North's existence —oblivious as to having attached a signature to the paper — and unaware of having.exhibited the charity for which he re ceived credit. This , discovery led to enquiry, and, in the hands of the police, it was ascertained that nine oat of thirty six signatures were forgeries. The forgeries are cleverly exe cuted, and evidently by an experienced hand ; the inks are different, and the st3ile of handwriting various ; and, but for the accidental discovery referred to, a rich harvest might have been reaped from the credulity of the public. ARCHITECTURiL 7kND ARCHEOLOGICAL SOCIECT.—The first meeting of the sighth session of this society wee held on Wednesday, at the Royal Institution, Mr. Hay, the.president, in the chair. Me secretary read a letter from Mr. .Salt, sec retary of the Polytechnic Society, inviting the members of the Architectural Society to attend the meeting of the ,Polytech nic Society, on Monday next, the Bth instant, when an inte resting paper on gas+meters, it was expected, would be read. Mr. Hay then read the opening address. He said, before commencing, it was impossible not to allude to the greatest event of modern times—the capture of Sebastopol. But the mind of the nation had not been perceptibly diverted by the war from the pursuits that elevate and ennoble the hum in an and it would , he difficult to find a town or :village the empire where the architect or engineer was not . engaged in constructing great works. After alluding to tne recent visit of the Councilito the works at Rivington, and -speaking with approbation of-St. Aidan's College, Birkenhead, of a new church at West Derby, and the new Palatine Club in Bold street, Mr. Hay alluded to the recent visit of the -society:to Crewe-hall and Nantsvich, and concluded by describing the prospects of the present session. Thanks were conveyed to the president by Mr. Picton, Mr. Verelst, and Mr. Frank Howard, who expressed themselves in terms of warm eulogy of the address.—Mr.iPicton then rea d an interesting ".account of Crewe and Nantwkh, with reference to the society's excur sion there in June last." A short but interesting discussion on this subject followed, and the meeting then terminated. ALARMING G.A. Ell?LOSIONS AT PRESTON.--4311 -Sunday week, about half-past ten o'clock, three extraordinary ex plosions of gas occurred in Presto n, b y which a contiderable amount of damage was done. T h e origin of the casualty seems to have been •the sinking of the earth contiguous-to the excavations for new sewerage works now in progress between the ends of Water-street and Pole-street, in Church-street, which it appears had occasioned the old sewers and the gas. pipes to give way, and•the latter to leak at the joints. One of these joints was directly over a fracture in a branch sewer.ex tending from the brewhouse of the York Hotel, kept .hy Mr. Bibby, at the corner of ;herby -street, to the old sewerage.main in Church-street. Thie'branch and a considerable portion .of the old main had become.filled with gas, a strong smell of 'the vapour having been observed for two or three days. At the time above-mentioned, Mr.Bihhy's brewer took a lighted candle into the brewhouse, for the purpose of examining the gas-pipes, as the effluvium was very .strong there, and he was passing the grating of the brands sewer, in the brewhouse, when an explo sion occurred, and he was thrown down with violence. Imme diately after this event, twotremendous reports were almost-si multaneously heard in Church-street, explosions having taken place—one at the bottom cf .Derby-street, the other oppositethe end of Pole-street—the .candle carried by the brewer having set fire to the gas in the sewer, and thence to that in the main. By the first of these explosions in the street nearly all the windows were broken in the upper rooms of several houses on each side of the street. The-front and back doors of one house were burst open by the concussion of the air, and all the houses in the immediate neighbourhoothwere shaken to their founda tions ; the effect of the explosion, as described by the occu pants, being similar to the ~violent shock of an earthquake. By the last explosion, a square iron plate, covering the man hole of the old main sewer, and weighing about two cwts., was blown three or four yards into the air; and it is fortunate that 110 life was lost by this occurrence, as the street was thronged zt the time by Persons passing to their respective places of i wors hip. As soon as nformation of the disaster reached the gasworks the gas was turned aff, and .men were set to work to discover and stop the leakage, which could only be done by taki n g up the pavement. In this search, after labouring near ly the whole of the remainder ,of:the day, they were suc cessful. TAI: Loss or TILE LOCIIMASEN , CASMLU.—An official in quiry,.ordeced by the Board of Trade, hasbeen going on before Mr. Mansfield, the stipendiary magistrate, Captain Schom berg, R.N., the chief emigrant officer of the port, and the collector al customs. It was to ascertain and report upon the circumstances attending the loss of the new olaip Lochmaben Castle, inco, Captain Turner, which struck on the Bird Rocks, near Cape ,Ray, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, on the morning of the 4th .of June last, in foggy weather, while on her way from this port to Quebec, with 516 passengers and a valuable cargo of salt, trce, railway plant, and other articles. No lives were lost ; but the allegation is, that the captain Aid not exert himself properly to recover the ship and cargo, both. of which were almost totally lost, though she remained .on the rocks until the end of August. On Friday, evidence was .given to exculpate the captain from blame, and to show that it was impossible, from the nature of the locality, to do more than was done in removing theproperty. According to the evidence of Mr. Jardine, one of the owners (all of whom belong to this town), the ship cost £lO,OOO, but was only insured for £1,600. —On Saturday the inquiry was again resumed, when Captain Lawson and Captain Moran were examined as to the naviga tion of the St. Lawrence, and they stated that it was not cus tomary at present, by captains of passenger vessels, to use the deep sea lead, and take sounds.—Mr. Johnston Berry, for merly a printer in Dublin, wffhad £6,000 worth of printing type and machinery on board, also gave evidence touching the conduct of Mr. Mousey, Lloyd's agent.—Mr. Aspinall ad dressed the court on behalf of the captain, and produced cer tificates of character from Mr. Canard and Captain Groshart, concluding with an application to the court for Captain Tur ner's costs in the inquiry. —Mr. Mansfield said if the costs were granted it must be by an order, but he should make a pro forma adjournment until that day week, for the purpose of considering the question.—Mr. Aspinall asked the bench to decide whether the captain was entitled to his certificate, so that he might go to sea.—Mr. Mansfield said he should require a private interview with Captain Schomberg on the matter, and the room was cleared for the purpose. After a consulta tion, Mr. Mansfield said, at the close of these proceedings the question had been put by Mr. Aspinall whether the court, after hearing the case, and before their report had been gi ven to the Board of Trade, would withhold or give to the captain his certificate of qualification for the service. In the loss of the vessel the conduct of the captain had bee n ver y satisfac tory, so far as the safety of the passengers was concerne d . With respect to the cargo they did not consider h e was i n any way responsible, but that it devolved upon Mr. Monsey ' • and that if any blame attached, it was to Mr. Monsey,Lloyd's agent ' • the court, however, did not wish to place any blame upon hi m . Having said this much on behalf of the captain, and receivin g testimonials as to his character from Mr. Cunard and Mr. Jer dein—which testimonials seemed fully to have been borne out by his conduct on the voyage—at the same time they could not shut their eyes to the fact that the loss of the ship was owing to negligence on his part, in not taking soundings. They could not, however, but express with reluctance their resolution to withhold his certificate until they had a commu nication with the Board of Trade. The report would be sent to the Board of Trade, and if Mr. Tindall would communicate with the board as to whether the certificate ought to be re turned to the captain, he (Mr. Mansfield) would agree to give it him, [855. ____--!, e scene filo see d the cered we toinb , h °le o) went trong the gray L e or affected. i di g! rvice nsu.:4o a me on ot r / th e ceraew, a !Ail 00 strO t be it/ o t oo l~t , e_ del f 4c A v l ;piLi t ie o prtf tac t 0i ...0 0( lie pos 0. 1 !

A salute was fired by the Manx Fairy at ten o'clock, being the hour of the opening of the custom house. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT. —On Monday last, four men, named John Townley, 31, James Townley, 28, James Hindle, 38, and Richard Thompson, 33, were killed at the Moss coal-pit, Oswaldtwistle. The men got into a tub for the purpose of descending the pit, when by some means the rope slipped off the vertical. The jerk thus caused broke the rope, and the men were precipitated to the bottom of the pit, a distance of 86 yards. They were brought to the surface soon after, but life was extinct. PRESENTATION. —OH Thursday, the workmen employed at the manufacturing stations of the Liverpool gas-company met at Mr. Preston's large room in Kirkdale, to present their late superintendent of the Athol-street works, Mr. Samuel Edwards, with a tribute of their respect, and of their regret at his leav ing Liverpool, Mr. Edwards having been recently appointed chief engineer to the Chester new gas company. The presen tation consisted of a handsome gold watch, and a tea and coffee -- service in electro-plate. LIVERPOOL Wait MOVEMENTS.—The Cunard screw trans port Jura, Captain Wickman, sailed on Tuesday with drafts of several cavalry and infantry regiments, numbering in all about 30 officers, 920 men, and 20 horses, besides a large nu mber of women and children. The Jura calls at Malta, Corfu, Dardanelles, Constantinople, and Scutari. The sailing ships Miriam and Ariadne are loading here with light timber for ordnance stores. On Thursday night another batch of about thirty fine naval volunteers were sent up to head quarters. THE RIVINGTON PIKE WATER.—Preparations for sup plying the town with water from the Rivington works are being pushed forward with much rapidity. The operations at the extensive reservoir at Everton are drawing to a close, and workmen have begun to lay the permanent distribution pipes. Some days since, the laying of these pipes was com menced in Netherfield-road North, at its junction with the lower end of York-terrace. A great number of men are em ployed in this operation, which is making rapid progress. The pipes are heavy, being two feet in the diameter of their bore ; but so admirably adapted is the machinery employed for the purpose of laying them, that the process is gone through with the utmost celerity. ESPRIT DR CORPS. — An order reached the Preston Barracks on Wednesday last for five officers of the 97th Regiment to leave for Plymouth that evening, to sail on the following day for the Crimea. One of the officers, Lieut. Goold, was absent from the barracks on a shooting expedition for the day, and it being uncertain whether information of the order could begot to him in time for the train, one of his fellow officers, Ensign Dawes, volunteered to supply his place, and telegraphed to his father, who resides at Bolton, to come and bid him farewell.. The whole of the party had proceeded to the station, when Lieut. Goold arrived from his day's sport. He hastily seized his sword and proceeded to the station in his shooting attire, and arrived there before the departure of the train, and in sufficient time to take the post of duty and danger. His military dishabille transpiring, he was greeted with several rounds of hearty cheering. Lieut.Onslow was also called from a private party without sufficient time to change his dress, and ?eft for the seat of war at a moment's notice. SPECIAL VESTRY.—Mr. Woodruffe presided at special meeting of the Select Vestry, on Tuesday, when the Chairman pronounced a warm eulogy on the late Archdeacon Brooks, concluding his remarkslE , moving the following resolution " Deeply feeling and lamenting the loss, the general loss, suffered by the demise of the senior chairman, th e V enera bl e Archdeacon Brooks, this board desires to convey to his bereaved family an expression of their earnest sympathy with them in their present affliction, and, at the same time, to record a humble tribute to the memory of one so long endeared to the town, by the devotion of his life Wilts most valued institutions, by his public services, by his ready aid in the cause of charity and benevolence, by his virtuous and manly qualities—that honest, generous heart—the pure Christian — to the parish an honoured servant—to the Toor an endearing friend." Mr. Shaw seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. The proceedings .of the Workhouse Committee were read, embracing a recommendation to the board to purchase a new organ, and requesting that, on Tues day next (this day), the Workhouse be illu m i na t e d, and that the inmates be 'treated to roast beef and Plum-pudding. The proceedings relative to the purchase of a vew organ were not confirmed. How To ROE 'WITH SAFETY.—The Lancashire and York shire Railway -Company were indebted to Messrs. Brownbill and Co., of Manchester, in the sum of 1;715, an 1 forwarded a printed form, upon presentation iof which, with sig nature attached, the money would be paid to the bearer. John Griffiths, formerly one of the firm, obtained possession of the form, forg,edlthe name of the firm, and obtained the money. Griffiths was pursued and apprehended, but only 16s. of the money was-recovered. Messrs. Brownbill and Co. gave the company notice that Griffiths was in custody ; but the rail way authorities replied, " He has robbed you, not us ; and you may prosecute if you please." Messrs. Brownbill and Co., on the other hand, contended that the - . company ought to prose cute. Griffiths was therefore discharged, there being no charge against him. To explain the above singular proceeding (says the MantMetier Guardian), it must be stated that the Rail way Company, by prosecuting Griffiths, would have admitted that the money was obtained from them, and that they were therefore liable to pay Messrs. Brownbill and Co. the whole amount; andsthe company do not of course wish to pay the money twice. Messrs. Brownbill,iby prosecuting, would have admitted the receipt of the money, and thus have invalidated their present-supposed claim upoir the Railway Company. Had the £715 been recovered with the prisoner, there would pro bably have been no difficulty as towho should prosecute. Movnatimcns or AUSTRALIA-a Snips.—During the past week, Messrs. James Baines and Co.'s Black Ball clipper Schomberglayin the river off the Prince's Pier, and attracted an unusual•degree of attention .and admiration. This noble vessel sailed , on Saturday morning, with the mails, 428 adult passengers, and :a full cargo. The whole of her saloon berths were taken, and amongst the passengers in that class is Mr. Gavan Duffy. It is a fact worthy of notice, that at least one half of the-saloon passengers are did colonists, who are return ing to the antipodes with as little concern as a person con templates mrun-over,the Atlanticin one of our American mail steam-ships. In fact, the length of the passage between Liver pool and Melbourne has been reduced to such a short period of time, by the energy, perseverance, and enterprise of i our Aus tralian houses,:that people who-have been successful n the land of gold take &trip home to see their friends, and then go bank again. This, , too, may be done .at a comparatively trifling ex pense. The Ocean Chief is the next mail ship of this line, and will sail on theZth of Nov. Several of her berths have been already engaged by parties who.came to England in her, and who speak highly ofithe ship and:her commander, Capt. Tobin. The Black Milliner, Marco 'Polo, Capt. James Clark, which left Liverpool ou the sth of April, arrived out at Melbourne on the 26th of clime. The Marco Polo was 21 days in reach ing the Equator, light and variable winds having been met with up to the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope. Several icebergs were passed in lat. 49 S., don. 10 to 20 E. From the Cape she experienced 'light and ,variable winds from the N.E. to N., accompanied:by heavy rains. The greatest number of knots attained in any 24 hours was 300, or about 121 per hour. The Marco Polo is expected•to arrive back in Liverpool in a few days.—The Monica, of Messrs. Pilkington and Wil -son' s White Star line, •will.go to sea.on the 13th, taking a large cargo, and some passengers in first and second cabins. The Sultana, a smart ship,,Capt. Taylor, ,well known in the trade, is the mail packet of the .20th of Tthis month. She is filling well with goods and passengers. The Mermaid, from Mel bourn, is hourly looked for, with a,very large amount of specie —98,655 ounces of gold—the largest-shipment this year, the freight on which is 1.14850. The 'White Star was off Cape Otway on the 17th of July, all well, having, up to that point, beaten, by five days, a - ".crank" ship, which sailed before her. Messrs. Magee, Levineston, and Walthew, despatch a very beautiful ship, the Phceuix. The arrangements for the com fort of the passengers are most,complete.; and after her suc cessful Indian voyage, we may look 'for a-speedy run by this .ship to Melbourne. The Palmyra, of the Rack Star Line (M. H. Thomas), a splendid clipper-built -ship, is going to sea, for Melbourne, this week. Amongst the latest arrivals at Mel bourne from Liverpool are the Blanche Moose, on the 10th of June, and the Hotspur on tile 2fith .ofthat.month, the former having beat the latter by 16 days. GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. Ma.l). C. MITCHELL, of the Dumfries Militia, has invented an electric tannon. It is fired without .a touch-hale, by means of.conducting and non-conducting wink introduced into the cannon •during its manufacture, and.out .off closett the surface. Having no touch-hole, it cannot he spiked. TEM BAL ChttN papers mention a melancholy accident that occurred last w.eek at Ghent, when a man, who •was painting the spire of a belfry, was precipitated to the ground, the rope which sustained him having snapped. Ms body, a.dinfigured mass, fell .close to one of his children, who was bringing him his dinner. IT is dated that a school or college for Turkish youth ip about to he established at Versailles, the su3tsst having made a grant of 1,600,00 a, francs for this purpose. Here some 800 young Mussulmans will be instructed in the European lan guages, the sciences, And the arts as applied to industry. A LETTER from Braila states that two Greek merehauts of that town went fluidal learning the fall of Sebastopol, and that another at Bueharest was struck with apoplexy from the same cause. The same letter states that one Swedish and three Greek vessels have foundered at the mouth of the Salina, and rendered the passage still more difficult, there being now no more than one fathom , of water over the bar. A BERLIN despatch says that discontent in Poland and the Ukraine has risen to a very serious height at the successive calls for enlistment, and that a survey is about to be made to see if Poland can furnish suffioient corn for the supply of the army during another campaign, and the result will greatly in fluence Russia as to the contimmoleP of the war. AT A BREWERY, at Waleot, a boy has met his death by fall ing into a vat of boiling liquid. Mr. Bailey, the proprietor, without hesitation, plunged his arms into the scalding liquor and brought the boy out, who only lingered half an hour. Mr. Bailey was also very much scalded about the hands and arms so much, indeed, that it may be months before he can recover. Or Warden-hill Farm, Chipping Warden, the property of Colonel North, M.P., a large amount of property has been destroyed by fire, caused by the accidental discharge of a gun.

MR. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD, M.P., is an inmate of the Aby dos Hospital, having overtasked his strength in attending t o the sick among the French troop s during his passage from Malta to Constantinople in the Etna. There were 800 soldiers on board, and, when cholera broke out amongst them, Mr. Stafford was unremitting in his attentions to the patients— reading to them, writing for them , an d cheering them. — press. SEVERAL YOUNG AMERICANS, who have taken se rv i ce under the Czar, as physicians, &c., findit easier to get i n t o the Russian trap than out again. It is said that they cannot resign their positions until the close of the war, lest they should impart information to the disadvantage of their em ployers. Probably these young Russian-Americans will have a juster idea of the system of government which obtains in Russia, before they are done with the Emperor Alexander.-- Halifax (N. 8.) Church Times. OUR PLODDING NEIGHBOURS THE Durcn have brought their strupendous task of draining the Lake of Haarlem to a close by the sale of the last parcels of land reclaimed. By pumping out the water they gained 20,000 acres of excellent land, which sold for 8,000,000 florins. The cost of the work was 10,000,000 florins. In a few years all the outlay will be repaid, and a handsome profit will accrue. This success has revived that often-debated question, the drainage of the Zuyder Zee. THE Melbourne Age states that Mr. B. C. Aspinall, bar rister, son of the Rev. J. Aspinall, of Althorpe, Lincolnshire, and formerly a reporter on the Morning Chronicle, is a fa vourite candidate amongst the diggers of Ballarat for a seat in the Legislative Council. THE AUSTRIAN MORTGAGE BANK.—It is stated that the arrangements for the establishment of the new Mortgage Bank contemplated by the Austrian Government at Vienna, with a capital of £10,000,000, secured by the state domains, have been concluded with the house of Rothschild and other leading firms in that city. THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. — The twenty-third purchase for distribution amongst the members has just been made in the city of Lincoln, near the south toll-gate, and close to the two railway stations, being the well-known his torical site of St. Catharine's. This is the second estate bought for the society in the county of Lincoln. ----- - • • • - - MURDER.—On Monday, last week, a respectable woman named Russell, residing at Bilston, murdered one of her sons, a child aged four years, by cutting its throat with a knife. She inflicted a similar wound upon herself immediately after wards, though not with deadly effect. The assignable cause for the dreadful occurrence is a depression of spirits from which she has been recently suffering. HYDROPHOBIA IN FRANCE.—A mason has just died in the hospital of Lyons, of hydrophobia. In one of his fits his keepers got frightened and fled, and he succeeded in making his escape into the other wards. Great was the terror among the patients ; some jumped out of bed, others hid themselves under their bed covers. At last a monk threw a blanket over the unfortunate man's head, and he was taken back to his cell, and properly secured.— Galignani's Messenger. THE MURDER Al' CANTERBURY BARRACKS.—On Thursday, before the mayor and magistrates of Canterbury, Emanuel Elsner, of the first regiment of the British Swiss Legion, was re-examined on suspicion of being the murderer of John Bock, of the same corps. The prisoner called several men belonging to the legion, with the view of proving an alibi , but none of them had seen him later than eight o'clock on the evening of the murder. After a brief consultation, the bench committed the prisoner for trial on the capital charge. THE REPULSE, a sister ship to the James Watt, was success fully launched at Pembroke Dockyard, on Thursday. She is one of the new class of ships of ninety guns, upon two decks, with another immense pivot one on the upper deck, having, also, the auxiliary steam screw of 600-horse power, and is a very handsome model. Her burthen is 3,086 tons. Two despatch-boats are building at the same yard on the system adopted in the royal yacht—namely, diagonal planking, and will soon be ready for launching. CHEAP THINGS.—In the whole Exhibition, says a letter from Paris; I have seen nothing so curious as the newly opened salle for cheap things. It is truly inconceivable, and so useful above all ! There are lamps at twenty-five sous, clocks at six francs, looking-glasses at two centimes, men's trousers at two francs, women's gowns at thirty-five sous, shawls at fifty sous, water jugs at two sous, drinking-glasses at three centimes, and kitchen utensils at a franc and a half! For fifty francs a young couple can set up housekeeping with a wardrobe complete. A YOUNG CREOLE of Ste. Croix in the Antilles has just performed a feat which leaves that of Leander crossing the Hellespont far behind, having swam across the Sound between Cronenburg and Helsingborg, a breadth of four English miles. But as the currents of breakers prevented his landing, he turned away from the direct course, and landed at a small vil lage two miles from Helsingborg, making about six miles in all, which he swam in two hours and forty minutes. A Dan ish officer and three sailors accompanied him in a boat.— Galignani. ENCOUNTEM 'WITH CHINESE PlRATES.—lntelligence has been received by the overland mail from China of a desperate encounter which the boats of H.M.S. Rattler, and of the United States steam-frigate Powhatan, had with pirates, near Kulan, on the 4th of August. The boats had nine seamen and marines killed, and fifteen or sixteen wounded, some of them, it was 'feared, mortally. Captain Fellowes, Lieutenant Rolando, .and other officers were blown up in a junk, but for tunately were little hurt. Ten pirate junks were taken and destroyed,the greater portion of theircrews having been killed, and seven prizes were liberated, five of which belonged to a convoy of the steamer Eaglet. Sixteen small pirate junks escaped. Tara NEW MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT.—At Rochester, on Wednesday, William Wheatley, late mate of the brig Ton bridge, of Rochester, was charged (under the 239th section of the Merchant Shipping Act) with having on the 3rd of last September occasioned, by neglect of his duty, the total loss of that vessel on the Gunfleet Sand, and endangered the lives of the crew. Evidence was given to show that when the pri soner took charge of the vessel he had been directed to call the master when he saw the Sunk Light. This he had neglected to do. The consequence 'was that the vessel was wrecked on the Gunfleet Sand, not having been properly steered. The crew, however, were saved. The magistrates committed him for trial. SALE OF STOCK AT KwIR, NEAR STIRLING.—The annual •eale of this well-known and first-class stock took place the week before last, at the Home Farm of Keir. The sale was , conducted by Mr. James Neilson, of Falkirk. The stock offered 'was, as usual, varied, end of excellent quality, consisting chiefly 'of pure-bred Leicester sheep and short-horns. The biddings were spirited, and the prices realised were generally high. 'The Leicester sheep -were disposed of in single lots, at prices 'varying from £1 to £7 for hogs. The cows brought prices 'varying from £3O to £45 10s.—one running to the large sum ,of £53. Heifer calves realised from £ l6 to £2O each, and bull I I 'calves from £l6 to £3B. The pigs also were of excellent quality, and were sold at large prices ; one boar of the pure small breed at £ll 15s. Purchaeers assembled from very distant quarters. A VEXATIOUS BUT LUDICROUS INCIDENT occurred at St. Saviour's Church, Bath, on Sunday. A rustic couple, having lad the banns published, presented themselves to be joined together in holy matrimony. The service proceeded until ar !riving at that part where the minister said, "William Wisher, wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife ?" when the bridegroom stated his name was not William Wisher. The -service was suspended,.and inquiry made respecting the cause -of the mistake, -when it appeared that the - .bridegroom had 'written to Mrs. Hyatt, the sextoness, requesting her to have the banns published, and concluded his letter thus—" So no more from your Well Wisher and Mary Williams." Mrs. Hyatt, -suppu-Ans• %L. nom. fn hp William Wisher, published the banns accordingly, and the disappointeci-eoupte have now to wait the publication of the banns in theirproper names.— (Gloucestershire Chronicle. ExTRAORDIWART AYNAIR.—The Rev. William Brown, ree tor of Letheringsett, Norfolk, lately received letters from a Mr. Berridge, of fit. Swithin's, London, threatening, unless :satisfaction were -rendered, to pistol him in the pulpit. The local superintendent of police was consequently 'directed to leep a -sharp loOk-out for arrivals ; and on Saturday evening he found the above individual had come from Norwich by the coach. On Sunday morning, while the officer, attired in plain .clothes, watched in the churchyard, Berridge made his ap pearance at about half-past eleven o'clock. He asked whether any one else besides Mr. Brown preached there, and.also whe ther there was any other entrance to the church besides the main one, and was answered that there was a side -door, but was fastened. 'He then walked into the porch, and, as he was.about to enter, was apprehended. Upon searching him, there was found upon his person a loaded Millie pistol, four }bullets, and some caps. He has since been committed fortrial . A Meets HAND BITTEN OFF BY A HORSE. - - A -surgical -operation of a very interesting character was performed at Fort Pitt Hospital, , Chatham, on Monday, on a soldier named Thomas Dance, belonging to the 12th Lancers, who had his arm amputated for the second time, in consequence of the frightful injuries he;recteived from being bitten by a feroci ous horse in the Crimea. Dance was engaged at Balaklava, drawing water for the troops, and, while so occupied, saw a horse, with.mane and tailerect, galloping furiously towards him. In .a -moment the horse •seized him in his mouth, threw him down, and, kneeling on Ills body with his fore legs, commenced tearing hie clothes off, lacerating his breast and shoulder in .a frightful manner. The poor fellow put out his hand to protect the lower partof his body, when the animal siezed it in his mouth and bit it off. Some of his comrades coming to his succour. armed with stoutclubs, the ferocious beast was beaten off. Before, however, the horse could be secured, he bit -off the finger -of another man and severely injured the shoulder of he veterinary surgeon of the regiment. —South Eastern Ga rette. _ _ SIR I. D. Pew.—The Morning Chronicle relates the following curious anecdote :--" It will no doubt be fresh in our readers' memory that the firm of Strahan has a very pious individual in the person of Sir John Dean Paul, who had a chapel of his own in Park-lane, Little Chelsea, which since the bankruptcy has passed under the hammer. As may be supposed, the most conspicuous pew was the pious bankers's. What was the astonishment of the congregation to find the unpurified pew on Sunday graced by its former occupant ! The messenger of the Bankruptcy Court, feeling for the banker's sernplee, left him his massive Bible, and Sir John failed not to display his riches in good books. After the service was over, the minister and his deacons retired to the vestry-room, and far .John very coolly followed. The Rev. Mr. Goodhart turned round, and waved his hand to the ' knight of the road;' in meek intimation that 'you are not wanted here.' 'is not a sinner open to confession and for giveness ?' and with this password, Sir John boldly entered the privileged place. The minister, in wood plain Saxon, stiffer than pulpit eloquence, reproached his stray lamb for his peccadilloes, and, simple shepherd, wound up his discourse by seriously asking, How could you have been so cruelly wicked, Sir John ?" It was God's will that made me commit myself !' was the response of the fallen Lucifer. ' I'll startle you, worse than the sacring bell ;' and truly, Sir John startled his pious re - union with his cause and effect." A man may wear a priest's garb, yet still carry a big fist in his hand ;' and Mr. Goodhart imitating the meek Quaker, let his spirit rise,' and lustily ejected 'Paul of the Corinthians' from the interior of the sacred edifice." Famuna IN LONDOX.—The suspension was announced, on Wednesday, of Messrs. De Lisle, Janvrin, and De Lisle, foreign merchants and bankers, with liabilities for £400,000. The house was among the oldest and most respectable in London, and it is believed, apparently on better grounds than are usual on such occasions, that the liquidation will not prove disas trous. The circumstances under which the stoppage was re solved upon appear to harmonise with the reputation for honour the house have uniformly enjoyed. It appears that they had a large balance at their bankers, as well as money at call in the hands of discount brokers and in other available quarters, to the extent of about £100,000; but that, being involved in large advances in Canada, which assumed a more serious complexion on the arrival of the American mail, they determined at once to suspend, instead of risking the property of their creditors by any uncertain attempt to sustain them selves. The amount in question will, therefore, be almost i mm ediately available for a d ividend, while, with regard to the general assets, the statement is that, with the exception of the securities from Canada, they are of a favourable description, and will admit of a further considerable sum being realised during the present year. Many years back the firm were largely engaged in trade with Buenos Ayres, but their busi ness was of a general description, and latterly they had be come connected with an extensive firm at Quebec, who were involved in the American panic of 1837, and who again found themselves in difficulties at the commencement of the pressure in New York and Canada, about two years ago. On that occasion their debt to De Lisle and Co. was enormously heavy, and was compromised upon conditions which have not been fulfilled. The amount now remaining due under the compro mise, coupled with fresh advances which De Lisle and Co. were induced to make by delusive representations, is under stood to be equal to £200,000. The prospects from this source are most likely very doubtful, and it is upon the other assets only that reliance must be placed. Of Messrs . De Lisle's lia bilities of £ 400, 000 a port ion is said to consist of acceptances for account of parties ultim atel y respons ible, and who will meet them at maturity. In this way it is expected the total will be considerably reduced, and the prospects of the direct creditors proportionably improved. Messrs. De Lisle and Co. were also connected with the trade of Guernsey and Jersey, and were the correspondents of some of the principal banks in those islands. TERRIFIC THUNDEI?STORM. Oa Thursday, at mid-day, Liverpool was visited by a terrific thunderstorm, which continued till nearly two o'clock, with intermittent torrents of rain, and flashes of lightning fol lowed by loud peals of thunder. During the storm a violent explosion of fireworks, gun powder, &c., took place, and excited much consternation. A man, named Arthur Lawrence, a firework artist, resided with his wife and family of six children, in a house in Green land street, situate between the Black Horse spirit-vaults and the Circus, where he has carried on his business upwards o r four years. During the past week or two he had been busy in the manufacture of fireworks for the affair to-day, and was assisted by a man named John Bird, and his (Lawrence's) eldest son, about 14 years of age. Besides a considerable quan tity of fireworks already completed, ,there were in pre paration a number for a pyrotechnic display, and, it is ad mitted by Lawrence, a " few pounds " of gunpowder and other combustible materials were also in the workroom of the house. During the thunderstorm the lightning was exceedingly vivid, and Lawrence and his family, while seated at dinner, fancied that an unusual smell, akin to sulphur, was perceptible , and he went upstairs and opened a skylight. Imme mediatery afterwards, three or four of his children left for school, and his assistant, John Bird, returned to the workshop after dinner, about two o'clock. Almost as soon as he entered the premises, a terrific explosion took place, the windows and roof of the house were literally blown into the street, the windows of the Black Horse vault, and those of several other houses in the imme diate vicinity, shared the same fate, while the shock of the explosion was felt for a considerable distance around. The man Bird, and Lawrence's son and daughter, were buried in the ruins. Mrs. Lawrence escaped with a-few burns, and her cap was burned from her head; her husband likewise being considerably burned about the hands. A lad named Patrick O'Brien, who was passing the house, had his leg broken, and was otherwise injured by fragments of the ruins falling upon and knocking him down ; and a youth named George Rankin was likewise very seriously injured. During the exertions made to extricate the man, boy, and girl, from the debris, flames burst forth from the wood-work of the premises, and soon there was a conflagration, which raged with great fury. The fire-engines were sent for, and soon at the spot, together with a body of police, but it was some time before a supply of water could be obtained ; and, when it was forthcoming, the fire was all but exhausted, the house being gutted. The three injured persons, Bird, O'Brien, and Rankin, were conveyed to the Southern Hospital, where Rankin, who was fifteen years of age, and resided 211 Prince William-street, died about five o'clock. From the loud report occasioned by the explosion, which shook the houses more than a quarter of a mile off, it is believed that there must have been a large quantity of gun powder in the house. At the inquest, Arthur Lawrence, the maker of fireworks, stated that if all the fireworks he had in his shop had exploded they could not have produced such an explosion ; nearly all of them remained unexploded. The jury found a verdict that death ensued "From the house accidentally taking fire." Win. Simpson, plumber, Cabbage-hall, was struck with lightning while standing in his car at the door of Mr. Win. Penn Smith's warehouse, Hanover-street. He was immedi ately attended to, but the loss of one eye is inevitable. In Conway-street, Birkenhead, some trees were struck by the electric fluid, and the top branches were scattered in all directions. Two sheep were killed in a field at Holt-hill. During the storm, the lightning entered the house of Mr. Bloxham, in West Derby-street, but was not productive of fatal results. In the height of the storm, and immediately previous to a loud crash of thunder, a ball of fire came down the chimney to the kitchen grate, whence it darted to the centre of the stone floor, expanded into a flame of several feet in circumference, and, after burning for some seconds, died out, leaving the place filled with dense smoke. A servant, who was nursing an infant, had but just previously removed from a chair beside the fire; two young children were standing gazing from the window ; while the mistress of the house was engaged at the dresser opposite to the fire-place. About a quarter to one o'clock in the afternoon, the brig Mary Hale, lying in the Victoria Dock, nearly ready for sea, was struck by the lightning, which shattered her top-gallant mast, but left it standing. One of the crew of a flat lying alongside was struck in the face by a splinter, which caused a slight abrasure of the skin. On the same day, Manchester was visited by a severe storm. At a quarter to three, there were vivid flashes of lightning, showing that the storm was passing directly over the city. The rain, at the same time, fell in torrents, and it was thickly mingled with hail. The grids were, in many places, in capable of receiving the surface water, and several streets were flooded, and cellars inundated. Th e hail created some damage to skylights in different parts of the town ; several panes of glass were broken in the roof of the Victoria Station. Rochdale and Middleton were also visited by a thunder storm, accompanied by a heavy fall of rain and hail, but no particular damage is reported. On Thursday afternoon, the metropolis and the adja cent country for many miles round, was visited by a most destructive storm. It commenced shortly before four o'clock, and continued for upwards of an hour, during which the lightning was very vivid, accompanied by very loud peals of thunder. The market gardeners in the vicinity of the metropolis, particularly about Tottenham and Edmonton, &c., suffered severely, the surface of the soil having been completely washed away, and many young shrubs de stroyed ; some thousand squares of glass have been broken by hailstones, some of which were fully an inch in circumference. The small rivulets, Colne and Ravensbourne overflowed their banks, inundating the adjacent grounds; and considerable damage has been occasioned by the partial overflow of the Brent. The masters of the fishing vessels report that several of the low-lying marshes in Kent and Essex are under water. The accounts received by the guards on the Eastern Counties, Great Northern, and South Western Railways, describe the storm as most violent ; in many places the rails were inun dated, the sluices being insufficient to carry off the water, and that considerable damage has been sustained by the occupiers of land adjoining the railways. The storm commenced again in the City about three o'clock this afternoon, the thunder and lightning hping *Mowed by heavy showers. COURT AND FASHION.

Joseph Clarke preached his farewelisermon en Sunday week, at Sephton Church, previously to entering upon his appointment as incumbent of St. Luke's, Great Crosby. On Sunday week, the Rev. William Anderson O'Con nor preached a farewell sermon at St. Luke's, Great Crosby. His labours in that place have been brief, but those labours have been characterised by so much discretion, so much humi lity and Christian zeal, that the congregation, especially the poor, deeply regret his removal. El Tribuno, of Carthagena, publishes with expressions of high satisfaction an event which it declares will be memorable in the history of that city. On the 12th of Aug. last, public worship was celebrated for the first time in New Granada ac cording to the Anglican ritual, accompanied with the public delivery of a discourse by a clergyman• of the Reformed faith. The preacher was the Rev. Ramon Monsalvatage, and the audience "partly Protestant and partly Catholic." THE REV. W. CURLING, minister of St. Saviour's, South wark, preached in the open air on Sunday, in Peppe r - s t ree t, Southwark, a locality of the lowest description, and densely populated. The rev. gentleman stood near the house in which a woman had lived who was killed a few days ago, and took his text from Ezekiel xxxiii. 11—" As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye, from your evil ways, for why will ye die ?" He was attentively listened to by many hundreds of the inhabitants ; and al though the streets and windows were densely crowded, and every available situation within sight oocupiecl,. not the slightest interruption took place. A USTRALIA. ADVICES have been received from Melbourne to the 13th of July, by tbv man,b. Moore, via' Ceylon, and are consequently a fortnight later than the prevto.:, _ _ _ _ . The Mermaid sailed on the 13th, for Liverpool, with 98,677 ounces of gold, and a large mail. The Marco Polo was to leave on the 21st. A letter from Melbourne says : The aspect of affairs at the diggings is not deemed good, though the Maryborough disturbance was put down. The insurgent party were Irish ; they were called in the account Tipperary men, but they number many Irish from other parts. They were put down by a large display of force. About 2,000 men organised themselves, drilled, marched in order, were well armed, and moved in support of order. They are called the " Allies." The authorities of the locality be haved well and prudently, and it is well that troops were not sent up. At nearly all the diggings, sometimes for mutual protection, parties have grown up composed of such men as at Maryborough. They have asked for the sanction of the government, and Sir Charles Hotham has granted it, provided they do nothing illegal. Thus they must do nothing at all, for anything that they should do would be illegal. Sir Charles will probably get himself into a "scrape" with the Colonial-office in this matter, for it shows weakness, as well as want of knowledge. You will find some discussion in the papers touching the existence of distress in Collingwood,—the fact even disputed; but of its existence there and everywhere there can be no doubt. It is less, however, among the labourers than among that class brought up to nothing, and not capable of much. The half-yearly gold accounts have been made up, and show an, increased production of auriferous extracts. The increase on the June quarter is 73,750 ounces, which will increase our purchasing power about £lBO,OOO. The price to-day is £3 16s. 6d. Exchange at the banks selling at two per cent.—Freights 4i ; insurance 24 per cent. Importation continues moderate, and prices steady, some rising. Our consumption is increasing, in consequence cf the number of new arrivals. The excess of arrivals over departures for the first six months of 1855 are 34,908. The prices of articles of food are almost at famine rates. Flour is £46 to £5O per ton ; wheat 20s. to 30s. per 701bs. ; bread Is. 6d. per lb. An effort is being made to get up a new bank on the Scotch principle, namely, granting cash credits and allowing interest. THE REGISTRATION.—The Conservative Land Society has this year been again successful in establishing their claims for the freehold franchise on behalf of their members, both in Middlesex and Hertfordshire. AN EXTRIORDINLEY SUICIDE was committed at Hud dersfield, on Tuesday. J. W. Fell, whose father is a chemist at Heckmondwike, was formerly assistant to Mr. Churchyard, chemist, Dorking, Surrey. He made the acquaintance of Eliza, daughter of Mr. Latter, draper, of that town, and, repre senting himself as being of a higher station in life than be was, persuaded the young lady, who is 22 years of age, to visit his parents, saying they had written for him to come home, and to bring "Lizzy " with him. With her father's consent, they met at the railway station, Dorking, where Mr. Fell obtained £5 form Miss Latter, with which he paid the railway fares to Huddersfield—first-class the whole distance. They arrived at Huddersfield at 8 25 p.m., and proceeded in a cab to the house of Mr. Fell's cousin, who is a chemist, in King-street. When on their way he requested Miss Latter to look at some fireworks, which she did, and it is supposed he siezed that opportunity of taking poison, as they had then only'a few yards to go. When the cab door was opened, he was, however, unable to descend, and the driver, with the aid of a passer-by, carried him into Mr. Fell's house, where in seven minutes he expired. A messenger was sent for Mr. Greenwood, surgeon, who immediately attended, but his skill was of no avail. On a search being made, a 1 oz. phial, which had contained prus sic acid, was discovered on the seat of the cab. The body was taken to the Bull and Mouth Inn, where Mr. Ingram held an inquest upon it, when a verdict of " Temporary. insanity " WAS returned. The poison must have been procured by deceased from the shop of his present employer, Mr. Tomlinsom, Lin coln, as he had no opportunity of obtaining any during the journey. LETTER rnom OnEsse.--In Le Nord, of Brussels, we find the following letter from Odessa :.—" Odessa, September 17. W are still without detailed news from Sebastopol, but 1 c. Ight to mention to you the impression produced in our dis tricts by the news of the evacuation of the southern part of the city. I cannot conceal from you that in the first moment the effect of this news was immense. The profoundest dejec tion was stamped on every face, and betrayed real grief. By degrees we have recovered from this momentary depression ; and the more we have been able to examine matters with calmness, the more have tranquillity and hope returned. In our case it is the heart that has been struck first; as soon as reason has resumed her empire we have been able to reflect that the situation is not so changed ; that it is not entirely to our disadvantage, and that the honour of our arms has been in no way compromised. We withdrew of our own accor_d to the north side, whence we continue to defend the ruins f Se bastopol : men, arms, baggage, ammunition—all were co2l_s ° __T_Y_e a l across in the greatest order, with the greatest dignity., "ener it is with a Osten-Sacker was the last to pass the bridge: doubtless is about to deans of this feverish impatience that we look for fu rt he r sanguinary day, and of an event thaotfthe war.
