:~" 3, Iss,' 4CTN3EP lfb AD) 1Z300..1 for their ancestors their patent of nobility would encourage them to follow in the same path. But heavy would be the responsibility of that Minister who should recommend his Sovereign to raise improper and unworthy objects to the dig nity of the peerage. For himself, he could not be charged with having made a lavish or indiscriminate use of the privi lege which office had given him to recommend her Majesty to confer peerages. During the time when he was First Minis ter of the Crown, he had only advised Her Majesty to confer the dignity of the peerage upon three individuals—the distin guished diplomatist Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, the learned and eminent E. Sugden, and the late lamented Lord Raglan. (Cheers.) Posterity, he thought, would confirm the worth and suitableness of these three persons to the distinction, and he should always look with pleasure upon the share he had had in opening to them the doors of the House of Lords. (Cheers.) The MAYOR next proposed " The House of Commons," associating with it the health of the Right Hon. S. Walpole. The House of Commons had, with few exceptions, well repre sented the opinions of the people. The country being engaged in war, the Commons felt it their duty to support whatever ministry showed itself faithful to their country. They had granted the government supplies with a liberal hand ; they had not been afraid of a great war being carried on with insufficient means. (Hear, hear.) He was convinced that any ministry showing a fearless English spirit would receive support from the nation, and the nation's representatives, and I that party prejudice would be hushed , an d the energies of all united for one common purpose. (Loud cheers.) Mr. W,A.LroLE briefly acknowledged the toast, remarking that the House of Commons would, in any great national emergency, show itself superior to all party considerations, and worthily maintain its ancient dignity and fame. (Cheers.) The company then repaired to the ball-room. - - THE BALL AT THE TOWN-HALL. Cards of invitation to this splendid entertainment had been issued for upwards of 1,000 guests ; the attendance, as might have been expected on such an occasion, was numerous and brilliant. The tasteful and rich costumes of the ladies were diversified and enlivened by the sparkling uniforms of the military officers, and the picturesque costumes of the foreign consuls. The ball was opened by a quadrille, in which his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge danced with Mrs. Tobin, the wife of the Mayor. The two largest of the saloons, each provided with an orchestra, were devoted to dancing. These were filled with a gay throng, numbering upwards of 600 ladies and gentlemen. Among the company were :—The Duke of Cambridge, K.G., Earl and Countess of Derby and Lady Emma Stanley, Earl and Countess .of Chesterfield and Lady Evelyn Stanhope; Lord and Lady Colville, Earl of Hardwicke, Lady Elizabeth Yorke, Lord Henry Lennox, M.P, ; Lord Alexander Lennox, M.P. ; Viscount Fordwich, Hon. George Barrington, Viscount Somerton, Hon. Algernon Eger ton; Mr, Keightley, Sir R. Gerrard, Bart., Sir Harry and Lady Smith; Colonel Key and officers of the King's Hussars, Sir Duman and Lady Macdougal, Colonel Tyrwhitt, Right Hon. S. H. Walpole, M.P. ; Colonel Holdioh, &c. Supper and other refreshinents were served in the banquet ting saloon, in a style of the most sumptuous elegance; and dancing was kept up with great Spirit till an advanced hour. Shortly after midnight his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Earl of Derby, and the other distinguished visitors from Knowsley, took leave of the Mayor, and left the ball-room for their carriages.

This was no , doubt owing in some degree to so ma ny of the - devices having been made up for gas illumination, which in all probability overtaxed the possibility of the sup ply, and rendered the perfect illumination of any of them a matter of difficulty. Ear more of the detriment, however, was ca used by the wet acid stormy character of the weather. Shortly before six o'clock rain began to fall, which increased in the rapidity and heaviness of its descent, and long before seven had reached an extent of wetness in some degree resemblinga deluge. The windkalso rose and swept in fitful gusts, partially extinguishing in some of the most elaborate designs, while in other instances the gas could not be coaxed to burn at all. Notwithstanding all these disadvantages, however,the effect in many cases was brilliant and beautiful in theextreme.; and enough was seen to indicate the admirable appearance -which the town would have presented had the state of theatmosphere proved more,propitious. As it was, the principal streets were densely crowned by a vast concourse of people, eager to behold the splendours which were only in part visible. A large bonfire was got up in Toxtetb-park, to the south east of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Chapel, in part consisting of a three-masted vessel, fully rigged, called the "Alma," the property of a gentleman in the neighbourhood. She was set on fire for the purpose of representing the burning , of a Russian man-of-war, and to afford the vast multitude assembled an opportunity of realising the spectacle of "a shiponfire." The hull of the vessel was filled with oaktun, old ropes i &c. About half-past eight o'clock the conflagration .commenced, amidst the lond:huzzas of the assembled throng. This was succeeded by a splendid display of fireworks, designed .and executed by Mr. Atkins, of the Zoological Gardems. At Everton, a monster fire blarectduring theinight„ and in the vicinity of the Bridewell in Athel-street there was likewise another. Both these localities were also the scene of beauti ful displays of fireworks. Besides those named, bonfires 'of great .inagnitude were brought into requisition in different parts of the town and in the suburbs ; while pyrotechnic exhibitions of .varying brilli ancy were displayed in many of themost conspicuous places in thotown. -----'- t party W,,, s' ,4 e t ern . one ic,ht,and"," ibi Vilth co iruini ar y set e f ee r m rat ith her eng,'' 4c rl Hie rat With At!, bErt ' alai 40 el 'tilled.

Bach, Mendelssohn, Beethoven, and other favourite composers ; it also included several organ performances by Mr. Best, the corporation organist, and the whole was appropriately concluded with the noble song of triumph, " Rule Britannia." His Royal Highness remained till the conclusion of the concert. After the concert had terminated, his Royal Highness and his distinguished friends drove off for Knowsley, where they arrived in safety. In this hospitable and stately mansion the Earl and Countess of Derby gave a grand dinner party on Thursday, at which were present, in addition to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and the other distinguished visitors, and the Knowsley family circle, James Aspinall Tobin, Esq., the Mayor of Liverpool, Wm.

She was called the Eugenie, and is a sister ship to the Liver pool. The appearance of these two vessels is quite novel. The principal feature in their build is the fluting of the flooring and their peculiar ends, which are formed like the letter D. By the experimental trip made on Wednesday, of the Liverpool, 'the shape has been found to answer every ex pectation, and the speed is much superior to what was anticipated. NARROW ESCiLPE.—An accident which%very nearly termi nated fatally occurred on Wednesday, at the new coal pit which is being•sunk by Messrs. Johnson, in Fleet-lane, Parr. Two men, named Reece Davies and ThomaseWew, were at the bottom of the-shaft blasting the rock, andihaving laid a blast they lighted the fuse, and gave the signal to be hoisted up. When they bad been wound up about half-way the steam of the engine was exhausted, and they went to they bottom again.

The same day the prisoner came into our ,house and said, " Is this not.a nice situation for my child to be in with your son P" and added, if he did not get satisfac tion for it, he would have as much blood spilt for it as had been spilt of his child's ; and:that he would have my child's puddings if he did not get satisfaction when his father , (the deceased) came home. He then went out. About half-past seven, o'clock on Saturday night the deceased came home from his work, quite sober. Ile had his supper and then went to bed. I then sent out my daughter to get a little butter, and I remained up till she came home. Soon after she had gone I heards,man shouting in the court, and at once recognised the volee to be that of the prisoner. I heard him rattling and making a great noise in his own house, the door of which is next but one to mine. I immediately took the poker and fastened the door as well as I could, .as there was no key to the lock. Soon after the prisoner came opposite to our win dow, and called for either of the Cahills to come out. I understood him to mean by that for my husband and brother in-law, who lodged in our house, to come out. Neither of them went out, and then the prisoner began to knock at and break in the door. I went up-stairs to my husband, and fou n d him looking out of the window into the court. I put my head out of the window, and said to the prisoner, " Go i n t o your own house, and have nothing to do with my husband -" that he had been working hard all day and knew nothing Of what had happened between the children yesterday. The prisoner then said, " You —, come down, and I will run you through as well as them," The deceased then went down stairs, and I followed him. The deceased took out the poker which I had used to fasten the door, and laid it on the table. He then opened the door. The prisoner was standing outside, and the moment the deceased opened the door the prisoner struck him two blows with his clenched fist The deceased moved a little into the room from the door. The prisoner stepped in a little, but I did not observe anything in the prisoner's hand. There was a lighted candle on the table, which the deceased took up to see what the pri soner had in his band. Directly after I heard the deceased cry out, "I am stabbed." He had his hand on his left breast, and said, " Hand me the poker." I did not see the p ri soner stab the deceased, but, directly after I heard the cry " I am stabbed," the prisoner ran out of the house. When I heard that cry I went out also, as I was so frightened. When I came back the deceased had been carried up-stairs, and placed on a bed. He was not able to speak.-IVlary Cahill, daughter, and Michael Cahill, brother of the deceased , cor r oborated the evidence given by the wife.—Sarah Healy produced a knife, which she deposed to finding in front of the prisoner's door, on the morning after the occurrence. —Inspector Haynes, who took the prisoner into custody, said the man resisted very much, and kicked him so severely that he had been off duty since.—The Corone r h av i n g summed up, the jury returned a verdict of wilful m ur d er , an d the prisoner was committed for trial at the assize s . Th e C o roner said the deceased had left his widow with five helpless children, and he believed the widow herself was now in a state of pregnancy. It was a case for the charitable.

LORD ERNEST VANE-TEMPEST.—This young nobleman, , who was last week convicted, by the Windsor Magistrates, of an assault on the manager of the theatre in that town, has exchanged from the 2nd Life Guards into the 4th Light Dragoons, now serving in the Crimea. SEVERAL HUNDRED MEN will shortly be employed in North Shields and Tynemouth in making the sewerage. A thousand men will probably be soon employed at the piers, and it is stated that six hundred men will be immediately engaged in completing the defences at the harbour mouth. IT is said in literary circles, that Col. Rawlinson has just dis covered among the ruins of ancient Babylon an extensive library —not, indeed, printed on paper, but impressed on baked bricks, containing manyand voluminous treatises on astronomy, ' mathematics, ethnology, and several other most important ' branches of knowledge. IDIE CREDITORS op 'Tonic GROVER, bankrupt, at his ex amination last week, pressed for the disclosure, for their benefit, of the receipt for a certain medicament of which he was the proprietor. The commissioner said it was desirable that bank rupts should do the best for their creditors, but the court could not enforce the disclosure of the secret. FRANCES DAwsoN, a poor woman, sued Wells, a pawn broker, in the Westminster County Court, last week, for three farthings, interest overcharged on a transaction with I him. The pawnbroker paid the amount, with costs (2s. 11d.), into court ; and the plaintiff, having to pay the fee of ld. for drawing out the amount, came off, by this singular proceeding, the loser of one farthing.

On Thursday one of the prisoners called at the Town-ball, asking for some relief from the Borough fund in the name of Mr. Roberts, saddler, of Dale-street. The mayor sent to have the matter inquired into, and the police discover ing that the prisoners had long been carrying on the begging letter system, they were taken into custody, with an immense number of forged documents in their possession. Both pri soners were remanded. CRIMINAL CHARGE AGAINST THE PROVOST OP LEITH. — A case disgusting in the extreme, has just come to light, in which no less a personage than the Provost of Leith is ciimi nally implicated. The charge brought against the civic dig nitary is a criminal assault upon two girls, both un d er th e age of puberty. He has been examined before the sheriff and procurator fiscal, and on Saturday was admitted to bail. There is no doubt that Provost Phillips will figure rather disagree ably before the criminal court in Noyembyr. NARROW ESCAPE.—A few days ago, as Lord Robert Mon tague was sailing in his boat from Portstewart to Portrush a squall of wind caught the boat and upset her. Lord Robert threw himself out of her, and being a very expert swimmer soon managed to regain the boat, and having with some diffi culty prevented the sailor who accompanied him from sinking, he succeeded in getting on the boat, which was now turned bottom upwards. They remained in this perilous situation for • nearly half an hour, when they were picked up by a boat which had seen the accident from some distance. OPPOSITION STEAMIIRS ON THE ATLANTlC.—Commodore Vanderbilt, the great American ship-owner, is running steamers across the Atlantic, in opposition to the United States mail packets. Occasionally Vanderbilt's steamer and the mail packet start together, and the speed of the steamers is properly tested. In one instance the Vanderbilt steamer, ' the North Star, beat the crack American mail packet the Arago. On the 22nd ult., the Arago and the Vanderbilt steamer Arid left New York at the same hour, both bound for Cowes, in the Isle of Wight. They kept in company for two days, when the Ariel shot adead of the Arago, and the latter saw no more of her. The commander of the Arago, on arriving at Cowes, was surprised to learn that his steamer had beaten the Arid. PASSENGER TRAFFIC IN LONDON. — About 200,000 per sons enter the city each day on foot by different avenues, and about 15,000 by the river steamers ; and besides the cab, cart, carriage, and waggon traaffic of the streets, the omnibuses alone perform an aggregate of 7,400 daily journeys through the city. The number of passengers arriving at and departing from the London-bridge group of railway termini, which in 1850 amounted to 558,000, had in 1854 risen to 10,845,000. At the South Western Railway it appears that during the same period the numbers have increased from 1,228,000 to 3,308,000. The number arriving at and departing from the Shoreditch station last year is stated at 2,143,000; Euston square station, 970,000 • Paddington Station, 1,400,000 ; • King's-cross station, 711,000; the Blackwell station, in Fen church-street, 8,144,000. t A Wong OF TIME.—On one of the hilly moorland meadows, • not far from St. Austell Bay, a piece of work is in quiet pro- gress under a shed, which the autumn tourists and excursion makers visit. This is the gradual reduction into shape and polish of the huge block of Cornish porphyry which is to serve as a sarcophagus for the remains of the Duke of Wellington.. This enormous stone, weighing 70 tons when it was originally detached, and wrought on the spot where it was found, is of a grain so impenetrable as almost to defy the cutter's craft.' The sawing of it into halves was a long mid painful task, and the two men now employed in hollowing it out seem given up to the most slow-going task conceivable at the time pre sent, since more than two cannot work, and the impression made by their picks in the huge mass is a thing to be measured from week to week, not day to day. There is ten months' more work to be done ere the adamant rock will be shaped' and smoothed into the required form. The colour is of an intense deep gray, mottled with black and pale buff, and streaked with veins of white.—Cornwall Gazette. OUR WAR TACTICS.—Wo know not how far we may rely. upon the assertions of a correspondent of one of the Ameri cans newspapers, but he professes to have heard a conversa tion in the course of which the French Emperor thus expressed himself :—" I acknowledge the tactics of the Crimean cam paign to be my own projectionf and I confess myself satisfied, mainly, with the results. The people of France and Britain want a faat of arms, and perhaps the people of America would applaud another Smolensko and Moskowa. No : France in 1913 crossed the arid steppes and and deadly snows of Russia. I will now make Russia traverse her own wilderness to meet us on her frontier. There is not a man who enters the Crimea that has not undergone all we suffered in the retreat from Moscow ! There is not a regiment that arrives at Perekop that is not decimated. Whole battalions have been engulphed. The Russian loss, according to their own estimate rendered to the Emperor Nicholas lat December, amounted to 270,000. The allied troops at that time had not lost one-tenth of that number. lam content to protract the struggle in the Crimea on those terms. THE IRON TRADE.—The making of iron has been on the increase for half-a-century, but since the use of railroads has • been so universally adopted, the progress of the trade has been exceedingly rapid, and the quantity made annually very large. At the beginning of the present century I,he iron produced in England was not 500,000 tons a-year ; it is now upwards of 3,000,000 tons, and the demand is still on the increase. The In ge quantity used for railway purposes will account for the consumption of late years ; about 8,000 miles of line having been constructed in this kingdom, 16,000 laid down in America, on the Continent many thousand miles made, and in India, and many other colonies of the British empire, there are up wards of 3,000 miles of line in progress, while in America up wards of 10,000 miles of new line have been sanctioned by the Legislature. These figures sufficiently explain what has been done with the millions of tons that have been used, and also show the iron that will be used for some years to come. Great as is the quantity annually made, it is, therefore, evident it will all be wanted, and the prices be remunerative, except in times of panic from scarcity of money, when iron will be ex pected to be sold at a reduced, probably not a losing, price for a time, like other articles of merchandise.—Mining Journal— ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE recent Thanksgiving, by whomsoevercomposed, omitted all allusion to the mediation of our Blessed Lord in the con clusion of the prayer ; a fact the more striking when it is re membered that, with the exception of the prayer of St. Chrysostom (addressed to our Lord himself,) all the prayers in the Prayer-book are, in obedience to our Blessed Lord's injunc tion, made in His Name. PEOPOSED NEW ENGLISH BISHOPRICS.—The commis- - sioners appointed to inquire into the condition of our cathe drals, have recommended to Her Majesty's government the immediate formation of four additional English Bishoprics— one for Westminster, now comprised in the bishopric of Lon don—one for Southwell, now comprised in the bishopric of• Lincoln—one for St. Columb, now forming part of the diocese of Exeter, and one for Bristol which is to be independent of the see of Gloucester. It is expected that the Dean of Bristol will have the bishopric of that city, and that Dr. Walker will be appointed bishop of St. Columb, for which see he has pro— vided an endowment. THE BISHOP of LA.BITAN.—Her Majesty having been pleased to issue letters patent for the erection of the Island of Labuan into a bishop's see, with jurisdiction over the clergy and congregations of the Church of England in Borneo, a royal mandate has been issued to the Bishop of Calcutta and his suffragans to consecrate the Rev. Francis Thomas M`Dougall, D.C.L., to be the first bishop, and St. Luke's day, Oct. 18, has been fixed for the consecration. The principal part of the en dowment, £5,000, is provided by the Society for the Propaga tion of the Gospel, out of its public funds, and the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge has granted £2,000.
