TO CORRESPONDENTS. the quotation which we gave last week from the circular of Alessra. Makin, " that the Present harvest will not give a quantity much more than the half of last year," should have been limited to Ireland, and was not intended to apply to the produce of Great Britain. The error was entirely our own, as the circular was sufficiently distinct. " A Resident in Birkenhead" strongly objects to the conduct of the Corporation in making shipbuilding yards in Church street—the most fashionable and respectable part of Birkenhead. The Council have not, of course, had any wish " to depreciate the value of property there, or to impoverish the oivners thereof," though the erections may have that temporary effect. The houses adjoining will, doubtless, he injured as fashionable re: idences, but the substantial value of the property will, probably, be eventually enhanced. Ebr Eiberpool TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 20, 1650. THE advices received from, the United States by the steamship Asia contain some startling news. The majority of mankind, we believe, ha for some time been looking to that country with feel ings of envy, mingled with wonder, at its rapid progress in population and prosperity. Week after week we have heard of fresh golden regions being discovered in California; of cities rising, as if by magic, on the banks of the Pacific—cities actually built upon golden sands—and of a vast commerce being opened there with the eastern world ; and we have been solemnly warned that, through the abundance of the precious metals within -her reach, America would shortly be enabled to grasp the dominion of the world, whilst the nations of Europe would sink into insignificance by her side. We learn now, however, that what has been all along regarded as a vast acquisition to her power—as the lever, in fact, by which she was to overturn the world—is likely to be to America productive only of disorganization of her com merce, loss of capital, panic, and ruin to thousands. We beg the attention of our readers to the following extract from the New York Herald for Europe, in which the difficulties impending over America, caused by her acquisition of California, are de scribed : • " The attention of all kinds of speculators is turned anxiously to California ; in fact, the merchant, tile manu facturer, and mechanic are deeply interested in the production of gold in that part of the. world. Private credits have become very much expanded, in anticipation of a full supply of precious metals from our Pacific pos sessions, and it is absolutely necessary that the receipts should continue large, or in fact become larger than thus far realised, to prevent a collapse for the want of sufficient material to keep the machinery in motion. California has thus far disappointed the early expectations formed in relation to its product of gold. It has, it is true, sent out into the world many millions of gold, but it has been a gre ater consumer of the necessaries and luxuries of life than its staple product has paid for. Food and raiment for 200,000 people cost a pretty large sum annually. At the lowest calculation, we can nut it down at forty mil lions of dollars. Here is S-10,000,000 for the mere neces saries of life for one year; add to this twenty millions for the first year, and we have an expenditure of sixty mil lions of dollars for food and raiment for the people of California, from the first discovery of gold up to the pre sent time. This is independent of the immense amount of capital invested in building materials of all kinds, in shipping, steamers, &c., which, at a moderate calcula tion, can he put down at forty millions more. One hun dred millions of dollars, in round numbers, is, therefore, the sum, according to this estimate, which has been drawn from other parts of the world, for the support of the people of California, and supplying facili+ics for car rying on the commerce of that country during the past two years." - - - - We must premise that there is considerable obscurity in the above passage, caused by the very common practice of writers upon subjects connected with money, of using terms in other than their strict sense. The meaning of the writer, however, is obviously this : the people of California have been going too fast. Brother Jonathan himself has been. doing the same. The plant and machi nery for carrying on an extensive commerce, and winning the golden stores of the far west, have been provided in anticipation of the means of pay ing for them ; and if gold this season is not gathered by tons instead of handsfull, there must be "a collapse for the want of sufficient material to. keep the machinery (credit) in motion." In short, America has become the possession of a mine of untold wealth; and she is in danger of being ruined by her acquisition for want of money to turn it to account. We cannot enter into all the fears of this writer, although we must acknowledge that there is some thing to fear. It may be true for example, as he says, that deducting the yield of gold thus far in California—viz., 40,000,000 dollars—from the amount sunk in that country, 100,000,000 dollars, represented by corresponding capital created in houses. ships, machinery, &c., she will be indebted to the rest of the world about 60,000,000 dollars, which he contends it will take years to pay off. But we can see no reason for the following gloomy view of the state of things : " The mines of California have produced from fifteen to twenty millions of dollars per annum from the labour of diggers, averaging from fifty to sixty thousand each year. At this rate, it will not be many years before Cali fornia becomes more deeply indebted to other parts of the world than ever before known in the history of any country. With no other resources or product for pay ment of imports but the gold dug from the bowels of the earth, with a large and rapidly increasing population, the whole of whom require the necessaries, and many the luxuries of life, what prospect or possibility is there of more than a small per cant. of the immense arnount of capital involved in the trade of that country ever being realized." Before the diggers in that country get hold of any of these luxuries or necessaries of life, spoken of here, we presume they must raise the dust to pay for them, and, when they cease to be able to do so, population will cease to flock there, and capital to be invested for carrying on the trade. For the rest it is a mere matter of credit and mercantile en terprise, .in which the loss will only be ruinous in case it is proved that the events of the last two years have been all a dream, and the presence of gold in the soil only accidental and temporary, a supposition which is refuted by recent advices from the country. We concur, however, to a considerable extent in the justice of the following remarks, representing a coming crisis in the United States of too probable occurrence : " The receipts of gold by every packet has thus far been. only sufficient to keep the public mind quiet. Those look ing anxiously for largerremittances have been disappointed, and have been compelled to live on hope. Every steamer is expected to bring the desired remittances, and every steamer disappoints those interested. It is this expecta tion, this hope, that keeps the heads of many above water, and carries them along, from day to day, surrounded with all kinds of embarrassments. In the event of the receipts of gold from California increasing, all may go well ; but in the event of their becoming less, from month to month, nothing will be surer than a financial revulsion in this country, of the most serious diameter. It wi,l not be confined to those directly connected with the California trade, but will be universal in its effect, as the mercantile classes have been extending themselves largely, the banks discounting liberally, manufacturers in all parts of the world, working extensively, speculators calculating extra vagantly ; in fact, all have been under the impression that the mines of the Sacramento would, without the slightest doubt, produce gold enough to satisfy any demand for any purpose, and that the greatest difficulty would be expe rienced in - finding employment for all the capital California would create. Very few realize the vast importance of the great financial question at issue, a question that a few months will definitely dispose of, for weal or for woe to thousands." All this, however, is by no means to be brought about through the 60,000,000 d o ll ars o f cap it a l expended in, and still owing t o th e rest .o f t h e world, by California. The crisis in question will be purely a financial, or, more properly, a currency crisis. The gold of California is wanted to enable the banks and treasury of the .United States to maintain the present inflated issues of money, with a heavy balance of trade against the country, caused by the wild anticipations ignorantly indulged in as to the effect and real value of the discovery of the preCions metal to the country itself. A good harvest, or an abundant cotton crop, would equally answer the purpose, by enabling America to liqui date her debts contracted with other countries. Of the former there is a prospect, but of the latter there is very little ; and hence we fear the approach in America of a very disastrous state of things. - In proof of the justice of our fears we shall offer a few facts given by the same writer from official sources. The aggregate value of the imports into the port of. New York during the month of July was 22,118,013 dollars. ''Deduct,"' the writer continues, "'the y value of exports for the s a me peri o d, and we have a balance against us on the foreign trade of this pert in one month of 16,426,704 dollars. This single fact should •be sufficient to show everyone that we are rushing 'headlong into a state of things resembling those of 1837 and 1841, with a very strong probability of realising similar e3ults." The following table" will show the amazing extent to which the trade of America with this district has been stimulated : add`=: ••! - ..a: -.~:. ... - - • VALUE OP FOREIGN DRY GOODS IMPORTED IN JULY, 1848, 1849, AND 185 '. . 1848. 1849. . 1850.

How then is America to liquidate the heavy balance thus created against her ? She must pay it in gold in the first instance, thus crippling; the monetary facilities, and the enterprise and industry of the entire union ; or she must satisfy her creditors by pouring into their ports her grain, her cotton, her tobacco, and other products, at whatever sacrifice they choose to inflict. In fact, it is highly probable that America is about to suffer precisely the same operation. wes inflicted upon this country in the dis astrous rears 1846 and 1847. Some stress has been - laid by that class of free traders who, most inconsistently, endeavour to per suade the public that the cheap loaf which they promised is not likely to be so very cheap, upon the fact that imports this year have fallen off as compared with those of last year. These gentle men take as one ground of their speculations the fact that, thus far, in the present year the importa tions from the United States have been less than during the corresponding period of last year, omit ting altogether to remind us of the fact that the importations of the first few months of 1849 were swelled by the grain, both of America and the con tinent of Europe, being held back to come in at the shilling duty, which came into operation on the Ist of February. It must he borne in mind, too, that a considerable portion of the surplus of Ame rica has this year been diverted to the supply of the large population now congregated in Cali fornia. It is material for the infcrmation of the British farmer that he should be enabled to form some de finite idea of the amount of the competition to which he will he subjected from this quarter; and, to supply this information, we turn to the commer cial intelligence given in the New York Herald for Europe, received by the last packet. On this au thority we give the following as the aggregate quantity of breadstliffs left at tidewater from the opening of the navigation to the 31st January, in the years 1848, 1849, and 1850. FLOUR WHEAT CORN BARLEY Barrels Bushels Bushels Bushels 1848 952,288 787,521 869,476 115,169 1849 1,118,914 683.478 3,25E214 96,880 1850 859,674 358,437 1,872.217 129,912 It will be seen that there is a falling off in the aggregate quantities this year as compared with the last, which may in part be accounted for by the cir cumstances above stated. The receipts, however, are more than equal to those of 1848. We have now to inquire what are likely to be the receipts of the present year's crop; and upon this subject the Heralds opinion will not be received by our agri cultural friends as very consolatory. After giving us the quantities above. he remarks : " As the season advances, the decrease in receipts of breadstuffs becomes greater. There has been an increase in the receipts of wool, bacon, and beef. When the new crop of gram begins to come to market, we have no doubt the receipts will soon reach an amount equal to those of last year. Throuuhout the West the harvests have been immense." 'We have not the slightest doubt that this will be the case, and that we shall be inundated with the produce of the " immense harvest" of America, in whose western states the breadth of wheat sown this year has greatly exceeded that of all previous years. And we much fear that the condition of the British farmer is doomed to be aggravated by a de ficient yie:d of the crops at home. We shall, therefore, again hate low prices, induced by foreign bnportations solely ; and we fully anticipate, as the result, an amount of agricultural distress which will make free trade statesmen. and especially those who happen to he landlords, look rather blank about the period of rent days. ST. MARY'S INFANT SCHOOLS.--OR Sunday, two admirable sermons were preached by the Rev. A. Knox, in St. Marv's Church, Birkenhead, in aid of the three infant schools in connexion with the church. The sum of £3B 7s. was received. No fewer than three hundred infents, nearly all under the age of six, are receiving scriptural instruction in these excellent institutions. ST. PAUL'S CHURCH, SEACOMDE.—Owing to the suc cessful exertions of the incumbent, the congregation of this church has drily increased ; and for the last twelve I months much inconvenience has been felt for want of accommodation. We are happy to state that the con tract is now let for building a south ails and small west gallery, by which about 250 additional kneelings will be obtained. Mr. Hay is the architect, and Mr. Morris the contractor. • Tame Snip JonN GArtnow.—This well-known vessel, the largest iron sailing ship afloat, which was built in the early part of the year 1840, and has since been employed on foreign voyages in tropical climates, supposed to be prejudicial to iron ships, has, during the last week, been carefully examined in the Graving-dock. Several holes have been bored in her and the thickness of the plates taken, but by the closest examination no perceptible loss can be ascertained. It is clear that such vessels, with care, may last 40 to 50 years, and, when well built, need require no repairs for many'years. Tne: ASHTON BELL-RINGERS AND THE BELLS AT ST. NICHOLAS' CHURCH. —Yesterday morning a party of crack bell-ringers from Ashton-under-Lyne were to have astonished the ringers and the people of Liverpool by executing an extraordinary peal upon the bells of our old • church, twelve in number. To make the feat greater, they insisted upon their ability to manage the larger bells of the peal single-handed, whereas with our own ringers it has always been the practice to set two ringers to each such bell. On attempting the arduous task, however, our heroes discovered to their dismay that their physical strength was not so great as their own good opinion of themselves. The large bells refused to answer to the summons of a single pair of bands, and these belonging to bodies not the most powerful in the world ; and the pro mised peal therefore remains to be rung. SURFACE AND SPRING WATER.—It IS much to be regretted that the magnificent scheme for obtaining water from Whittle Burn, on which so large a mass of money, upwards of £200,000, has been expended, should have at so early a period disappointed its projectors, and verified the predictions of it promulgated by disinterested parties. The supply of water from Whittle Dean has for some weeks past been insufficient to satisfy the requirements of the population, and the impounding process has failed to meet the deficiency. This is attributed to the fact of the fall of rain having been during the last six months much below the average of seasons ; but it was just against such a contingency as this that the expensive reservoirs at Whit tle Dean were constructed. No one, we believe, ever seriously entertained the expectation that the Whittle Burn would afford a continuous supply of water for the daily consumption of the inhabitants of this populous town, but, then, it was calculated that over the area drained by the Burn, sufficient water would fall, and admit of being impounded to meet the requirements of the public when the Burn dried up. Such, however, is the demand and the inadequacy of stock and supply to meet that demand, that the old engine at Elswick, which belonged to the subscription water company, has been brought into operation, and for two days in the week is employed in pumping water from the river Tyne, which, after very imperfect filtration, is distributed through the company's pipes for the supply of the town. This at once explains why the water of late has been discoloured and muddy, partaking of that brackish taste with which the inhabitantsof Newcastle-upon-Tyne were once so familiar. —Newcastle Journal.—[ls there not some instruction to be derived from these facts by certain parties in this town ? Will Rivingtou Pike turn out like Whittle Dean ?] SERIOUS FIRE.--On Sunday night, about ten o'clock, a fire broke out in the second story of a• flour mill in Regent-street, in the occupation of Mr. Charles 'Ward, but recently tenanted by Mr. John Bailey. The flames extended with extraordinary rapidity, and illuminated the heavens most brilliantly. .There was soon copious sup ply of water, and seven or eight plugs were immediately called into requisition. A strong wind was blowing from the north-west. and serious fears were entertained for the safety of the adjoining property. Some small shops front inc Great Howard-street, and a public•-house et the corner of Porter-street, narrowly escaped entire destruction, and most of them were more or less injured at the rear. In the majority of cases the furniture and goods were re moved ; hut great loss was sustained in that way, as thieving was practised to an extent which would be hardly credibl e to a person unacquainted with the neighbourhood. The fire was not what is termed " got under" until after twelve o'clock, and even then a sudden gust of wind might have rekindled Limes which it would have required the Utmost activity too abate. Mr. Deeding, the head con stable, Mr. 'Superintendent Towersoo, Mr. Inspector Johnson, Captain Ware the salvage suderintendent, Mr. Stone, of the Liverriol Insurance-office, Mr. Barrett, cf the West of England Insurance and Mr.' Anderson, of the Norwich Union - office, were in attendance, and rem , dered considerable aid by their 'advice and assistance. -The mill and some of the, houses belong to Mr. WilliaM Hargreaves, of Manchester, and Mrs. Little, of Bootle, but Mr. Bailey has still some interest in the property. Mr. Ward has only been in possession of the mill about five months. One of the damaged houses, occupied by Mr. Bacon, an oil and colourman, is, we believe, insured in the Yorkshire office. The loss altogether must be very considerable, but upon whom it will mainly fall we are-at present unable to state. The stock was insured in the X.erkehire Fire-office for. £1,300. One of the fire police fell from the top of the building (a great height) whilst the fire was raging. He was taken to the Northern Hospital, quite insensible, but recovered during yesterday so far as to be able to be removed to his own home. The premises and stock are entirely consumed. THE STANDARD. THE ASSIZES. CROWN COURT, YESTERDAY. The following prisoners were called up for sentence. The first was Michael Quinn : his lordship, addressing the prisoner by name, said, you have pleaded guilty to an indict ment for burglary, I have considered the circumstances of the case, and find you were detected by a noise you made and were apprehended in the very fact; however you were alone and unarmed; under these circumstances we think the ends of justice will be answered by the sentence of twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. Thomas Morton for the manslaughter of Richard Olive at Prestwich, was sentenced to three months' imprison ment. _ . _ Henry Leigh for the manslaughter of Hugh Riley at Nianehester, three months' imprisonment with hard labour. _ _ _ _ James Smith was the next prisoner put up; he is a lad sixteen years of age: his case is one of a singular character, the particulars of which have recently been published. The judge addressing the boy said, you have tech con victed of a common assault, but under extraordinary cir cumstances. It seems you were employed by the prose cutor and his wife, and four days after it was found you had purloined small sums of money. They do not appear to have intended to prosecute you, or even to dismiss you from their service. You came behind the prosecutor's wife while alone, and made, it would seem, an attempt to cut her throgt, which she prevented by seizing the knife before any wound was inflicted. It seems immediately after you showed much excitement, and it is impossible to account l'or the act, except by supposing you was in flrenced by some unaccountable and uncontrollable im pulse ; under these peculiar circumstances, and in the case of one so young, the judge said he was unwilling to subject the prisoner to the contaminating influence of a prison for any length of time, he should therefore sentence the boy to three months' imprisonment with hard labour ; the first and last three days to be solitary. Charles Campbell for shop breaking and stealing there in was put up : the prisoner had been previously cons victed. Sentence seven years' transportation. Thomas Shativell and Thomas Martia pleaded guilty to ha ving forged a certain voting paper at Manchester, were sentenced to one months' imprisonment. John Walklett called up; the prisoner had been con cerned in a felony with four others, for which his comrades were convicted and sentenced to transportation at the last assizes, when the prisoner was not in custody.. Sentence, transportation for fourteen years. • Robert Reid, convicted of the manslaughter of his wife, was called. His Loritship said, you have been convicted of the manslaughter of your wife. I have carefully con sidered the circumstances of the case, and certainly they shew the fatal consequences of intemperance. It is said that when sober you were a good and kind husband and father, but when drunk, which was too frequently the case, you were the reverse. The deceased went at night to fetch you home from some place of amusement, and for this only, for it does not seem there was any other cause of offence, you behaved to her with most unmanly violence. You struck her that fatal blow which deprived her of life, and your children of a mother. However, that fatal blow was not given with any instrument, but with the hand only. Under these circumstances, and bearing in mind that the jury had recommended the pri soner to mercy, his Lordship sentenced him to fifteen months' imprisonment and bard labour. James Ilezekiah Sutton, for forging at Manchester, was sentenced to six months' with hard labour. The pri soner had been previously convicted of a similar offence. John Spencer and Allen Fidler, for bigamy, were put up. His Lordship said it did not appear that the women whom they married the second time appeared to prosecute. Sentence, three months' imprisonment with hard labour. Richard Rothrell, who had married a married woman, the prisoner being himself married, was sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment. POACHING AT KNOWSLEY.—Richard Appleton and William Mayors, two ill-looking fellows, were indicted for having maliciously and feloniously cut and wounded James Tyrer with intent to kill and murder him. Mr. Monk prosecuted ; the prisoners were undefended. The particulars of the case have been already published. Tyrer is a gamekeeper in the service of the Earl of Derby. On a night in the early part of June last, Tyrer and other keepers had appointed to meet some of Lord Sefton's keepers at a place known as Davis's Farm ; while Tyrer and his companions were waiting at the rendezvous for their friends, when they heard parties approach, whom they thought were their friends ; they proved to be a party of poachers, who made a deseerate at tack on Tyrer's party. Tyrer himself was so seriously injured that his life was considered to be in danger for some time. The learned counsel informed the jury that in this case the only evidence that could be produced would be that of an approver, an accomplice named Brown ; but he wished to submit the character of this evidence to his lordship for consideration ; as respected the identity of the prisoners, the only evidence to this point was as follows. Brown had a stick with an ivory head, which he used in the attack ; during the affray the head of this stick came off, and next morning it was found near the spot. Now this was sufficient evidence of the presence of Brown, (a fact not doubted,) but he did not. see how it affected the pri soners ; he could not carry the case further. The learned judge ordered the jury to return a verdict of "not guilty." FELONY AT MANCIIESTER.—Robert Burns, a lad of 18, was indicted for having assaulted Elizabeth Mothersill, and stolen from her-an umbrella. The offence was com mitted at Chorlton-upon-Medlock, Manchester, last winter. The prisoner was remanded from the last assizes. A verdict of guilty was found, and he was sentenced to twelve I ontlis' imprisonment, with hard labour. BURIVARY AT MANCHESTER.—John Nolan and James Walton were indicted for a burglary in the house of Miss Frances Vs'ilmor, at Pendleton, near Manchester. Mr. Lowler prosecuted. Nolan was acquitted. Walton, who has been previously convicted and imprisoned, was found guilty, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. ROBBERY ON THE HIGFI BEAS.—JOhII /IPCarty, a seaman, was indicted for having, on the 2nd of August, during a voyage from Douglas, stolen a watch. Mr. Grey prosecuted. The prisoner had been one of the hands on board the " King Orry" on the date referred to. A Mr. Peacock, of Manchester, was among the number of the passengers : he fell asleep, and when he awoke he missed his watch, which had been violently severed from the guard. Suspicion alighted on the prisoner, and he was taken to a roundhouse on the deck by Captain Quayle, and while thus seated be was seen to put his hand into his waistcoat pocket, and immediately after the watch fell from his hand. He 'was found guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. ASSAULT WITH FIREARMS AT MANCHESTER.—Sa mueI Smelter, a brickinaker, was indicted for having fired at James Farr and another, with the intent to do some harm. Mr. !Pollock and another prosecuted, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins defended in the case. The prosecutor is a Crickmaker, residing and carrying on his business at Rusholme, near Manchester. In consequence of attacks having been made on his premises, be on the night of the 25th of July, thought proper to arm himself and two friends, one of the name of Foster, and the other Gunning. On the night in question these parties surveyed Ivarr's premises, and while doing so discovered that a large body had assembled on the grounds; four or five were seen to approach, and one of these was identified as the prisoner, by several witnesses, one of whom called to him by name, upon which he made a feint as though he were fulling in order to conceal his face. Directly after this fifty or sixty shots were fired by the marauders at Farr's party, but no person was injured. No evidence was adduced to show even that the prisoner had a gun in his hand at the time. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins pointed out to the jury the nature of the charge, on which the case mast stand or fall. The jury, after a short deliberation, aequitted the prisoner, and his Lordship expressed his surprise at the charge of folony having been instituted against the man, who, he said, was no doubt chargeable with an illegal act in joining the par ties who were out, but that was quite another affair to the specific charge in the indictment. UNPROVOKED AND GROSS ASSAULT AT 'MANCHESTER. —George Reece, a young man of gentlemanly exterior, was indicted for having .eut and maimed William Mullinar, at Manchester, on the 3rd inst. Mr. Baxter prosecuted. Mullinar is an assistant collector of market tolls at Man chester. On Saturday morning the 3rd inst. he was standing in Shudehill market when the prisoner came up to him and ordered him to move on. Mullinar refused, and the prisoner repeated his order accompanied by a threat that if he did uot move on he had something that would make him ; as he said this he struck Mullinar on the breast ; in another moment Mullinar discovered that he had been wounded. The prisoner was seen directly after holding a penknife in his hand, and Shaw, a market collector, and another man saw him strike Mullinar with the knife. The wounded man was confined in the infir mary for a week. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins addressed the jury for the prisoner. He said it would be for them to decide whether the intention was to do grievous bodily harm •, the wound did not appear to have been a severe one, but he refrained from making further observations on the case. Verdict, "guilty of the common assault." Immediately upon the verdict being returned Mr.. Se rgeant Wilkins asked his Lordship to suspend his sentence until Wednesday, in order to allow time to lay before his Lordship some information which it would require time to furnish in an authentic shape. Permission was granted. MANSLAUGHTER AT PEIIBERToN.—Peter Barton, a moulder. of Pemberton, was indicted for the manslaughter of James Lowe on the 7th June, by driving against him a cart, by which his skull was fractured, and death took place the following day. Deceased was a bookkeeper, and had been to Newton races on the day in question. The prisoner "had also been to the races with a party. They were returning in a cart driven 111 the prisoner, and the cart was drivers at a furious speed. Deceased was standin ,, at the edge of the footway, when he was knocked down by the cart. near the Red Lion public-house, at half-past ten o'clock at night. Mr. Monk defended the prisoner. Verdict, not guilty. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. — Moses Leech, Thomas Barrett, and Robert Hall were indicted for having assaulted and robbed Miles Dawson, at Castleton, on the night of the 25th of July last. Mr. Cross prosecuted, and Mr. Pollock defended. The prosecutor,, a - simple country fellow, was returning from Bagslake races to his house at Castleton, when he encountered the three prisoners, to whom he was known. Some dispute arose between the parties, during which thq, prosecutor was knocked down and ill-treated, and upon getting away from them he found he had been robbed of six or seven shillings. The prosecutor did not produce any witnesses to corroborate his evidence. Ver dict, not guilty. SETTING FIRE TO A MlNE.—Robert Holland, a miner, of the township of Haddock, was indicted for having feloniously and maliciously set fire to a mine in the same township. Mr. Hall prosecuted. It turned out that the act was one not coming within the meaning of the statute, and a verdict of not guilty was advised by the judges. WooNDlNG.—Michael O'Rourke, Daniel APNeile, and Charles Murphy, were indicted for wounding John Ellison on the 4th instant, at St. Helens. Mr. Hall pro secuted, and Mr. Roebuck defended the prisoners. It appeared that a row took place in the Red Lion on a Sunday night, a knife was drawn, and prosecu' or was stab. bed is the face, the cartilage of his nose being cut. The evidence was very eor►ficting as to the person who struck the blow, and the jtrry returned a verdict cf guilty, of the minor offence, the commonassault against all the prioners. His lordship in sentencing tile men observed that, he was determined to mark his sense of the cowardly practice of drawing knives, on occasions of sudden excitement, by a severe punishment. The sentence' was nine months' im prisonment with hard labour in each case. BURGLARY.—Joseph Booth was indicted for burglary, at the house of Mr. James Woodcock, Rochdale, on the night of the 12th !nstant. It appeared that on the night in question the premises were secured, but that in a couple of hours afterwards an alarm was given by a police man, when it was found that one of the windows had been broken open, and a quantity of wearing apparel belong ing to a family of the name of Scholefield, and who resi ded in the house, had been abstracted from some drawers in the parlour, and lay on the floor as if ready for removal. Mr. Pollock prosecuted. The verdict, in consequence of a slight doubt entertained by the jury, was Not Guilty. MANSLAUGHTER.—Thonzas Ropers was indicted for the manslaughter of Samuel Nixon, at Manchester, on, the Ist of June. Mr. Pollock prosecuted, and from his opening it appeared that the deceased was a child, and the occurrence took place in Port-street. The child was sitting near the kerb-stone, and the off wheel of a cart driven by the prisoner passed over the child's body. To have done this the cart must have been on the wrong side of the street. The prisoner was sitting on a barrel in the . cart with about four other persons, and drove on without regarding the warning given to him by a person who saw the imminence of the child's danger as the cart ap proached the place where it sat. Mr. Wheeler defended the prisoner. He was found guilty and sentenced to one months' imprisonment. The court rose at six o'clock. NISI PRIUS COURT—YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. Justice Creswell.) QUESTION OF THE LEGITIMACY OF AN INFANT.- WRIGHT V. HOLGATE AND OTHERS (s. J.) This was an issue from the Court of Chancery, directed by Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, to try the * legitimacy of an infant named Tom Wright, who sued by his next representative. Thomas Wright. Mr. Martin and Mr. Russell appeared for the plaintiff, and the Attorney-General, and Mr. Watson and Mr. Hill for the defendants. Mr. MARTIN stated the case to the jury. The plaintiff was an infant of the name of Tom Wright, born in March, 1847, who sued by his next representative, and the defend ants were an uncle of the plaintiff, named Jonas Holgate, some of his children, and some children of a Mrs. Emmett ; and the question the jury had to try was, whether the plaintiff was the legitimate child of Mrs. Wright, the wife of a person named Thomas Wright. The law with regard to the legitimacy of the children of a married woman was this, that they were presumed to be the children of her husband, sinless there was (to usi the language of Lord Lyndhurst) strong, distinct, satisfactory, and conclusive affirmative evidence that the husband had no access to his wife, so as to make it impossible the child could be his. The father of the plaintiff, Thomas 'Wright, was a butcher and cattle-jobber, in rather a low condition of life. In 1836 or 1837 he became acquainted with Samuel Holgate, the father of Mrs. Wright, who was a cattle dealer, near Halifax, in Yorkshire. Thomas Wright en tered his service, and became acquainted with Susannah Holgate, whom he married in 1837. She was, no doubt, a profligate woman, and in 1843 they separated, and went to live in the neighbourhood of her father and mother, where she continued until her death, in 1848. In the year 1846 the alleged father of the plaintiff lived with a person of the name of Mills, at Littleborough, who was a cattle dealer. 'Wright was then in the constant habit of visiting Halifax market weekly, where his wife at that time lived. After the death of the plaintiff's mother, in July, 1848, he was removei to the workhouse, and then the parish au thorities applied to Thomas Wright, and he was compelled to keep the child. The property in dispute was— THE JUDGE.—Have we anything to do with that ? Mr. MARTlN.—Nothing, my lord, except that there is property which the child would take through his mother, left by the grandfather. Six witnesses were then called to prove that the father of the plaintiff was constantly seen at Halifax market in the year 1846. Mr. MARTIN also called the alleged father of the plain. tiff, and referred his lordship to the orders of the Vice- Chancellor as to his competency as a witness. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL referred his lordship to the case of the King v. the inhabitants of Sourton, sth, Adolphus and Ellis, page 108. Mr. MARTIN said his object in calling the witness mas not with respect to the legitimacy of the plaintiff, but to ask as to his particular employment at the time. His LORDSHIP having read the case referred to said, it was a distinct authority on the point by which he con sidered himself bound. If, however, he were to allow the first step to be taken, there would be no limit to the course of examination. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the jury for the defendants, contending that the evidence adduced on the part of the plaintiff was not sufficient to establish the fact that Wright had access to his wife at the time she first became pregnant of the plaintiff. There had been no less than six witnesses called by his learned friends, all of whom stated that they had seen the husband at Halifax, where the wife then lived, and had a house of her own ; but not one of the witnesses had ever seen them together under either her own roof or the roof of any other person. He should prove that from the time the mother separated from her husband she had constantly lived a most profligate life ; that in 1841 she had an illegitimate child, which no one ever pretended was the child of Wright, the husband ; that again, in 1844, another illegitimate child was born ; and, from the time of the separation until her death, she manifested the utmost feeling of abhorrence for her husband. Several witnesses were called to prove the facts stated by the learned counsel, and evidence was tendered to show the feelings entertained by the plaintiff's mother towards her husband, and also her declaration with refe rence to a person named Thomas Kershaw, an alleged paramour of hers ; but his lordship ruled against its ad missibility. Mr. MARTIN replied. His LORDSHIP • summed up the case to the jury, leaving it to them to say whether they believed that the husband had 'intercourse with his wife. If they did, even although they might be of opinion that half a dozen other parties had done the same, the plaintiff was entitled to their verdict—that was the law of the case. The Jury retired, and, after a consultation of five minutes, returned a verdict for the defendant, being of opinion that the plaintiff was illegitimate. INFRINGEMENT OF A PATENT.-HOWARD AND ANOTHER V. PEACOCK AND ANOTHER. This was an action to try a a patent right. Mr. Martin, Mr. Atherton, and Mr. Webster, appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr. noggins and Mr. Cowling for the defendants. The plaintiffs were Joseph Howard, a hat-manufacturer at Denton, near Manchester, and Richard Bolton, a plush weaver at Manchester. The defendants were Messrs. John Peacock, Zachariah Peacock, and Samuel Peacock, who carry on business at Market Harborough, in Worcestershire, and also at Denton. In the year 1845 the plaintiff (Joseph Howard) originated a patent for certain impovements in the manufacture of silk plushes, silk velvet, worsted, and other plushes. The action was designated by the learned counsel (Mr. Martin) as the most complicated matter he had ever to deal with, and, therefore, he hoped some of the jury understood weaving. The only question for the jury to decide was, whether the defendants had infringed the patent so far as the weaving of plush was concerned ? The old method of weaving plush, now brought into such general use in consequence of its being applied as a covering for hats, was in a similar manner to that in which Brussells carpets, or in a similar manner to that in which teapot-stands and iron-holders are woven in the Blind Asylum—that is by having the waft alone raised by means of a hollow or grooved wire, which when cut along the groove gave the fabric the well known appearance plush presents: Those wires were intro duced every three picks; but the method patented by Mr. Howard introduced the wire .at irregular intervals, extending from six to nine and fifteen picks. By this means the plush presented, when so manufactured, a more regular appearance, and it possessed also the advantage of economizing the materials and facilitating the manufac ture of the article. -- A number of witnesses were then called to prove that previous to the patent of Mr. Howard they did not know of plush being woven according to it; but some of them stated that they had worked at the defendant's factory at Market Harborough, when the system pursued was in accordance with the patent process. At the close of the plaintiff's case his Lordship adjourned the Court, it being half-past five, the learned judge ob serving, that from what be had seen that day, he had been enabled.to form a judgment why patent causes had become such a nuisance. The Rev. Dr. M'Neile will return from Ireland at the close of the present week, and will preach at St. Paul's Church, Prince's Park, on Sunday next. On Saturday a cricket match was played between the Sandon and Phoenix Clubs, on the ground of the former, near Prince's Park, which was won by the Phoenix Ciub, with several wickets to spare. THE CAUSE LIST.—At the rising of the Court yesterday then n ained four special jury cases for trial, and four te:ll .r 11 e consideration of common juries. Of the to:-t•cr one is case of erim. con., and another an action ':scarf; of pr, wise of marriage, both specially interest n. to a Liverpoffl public. T:t c TICCNDEItOGA.—With reference to a para. t-Jzli in the shipping news of yesterday we have authority , fate the s4atement asserting that this vessel made )ot of _water r er hour while being towed to the wharf ftially union. ded, but that by Captain Farren's calcu ,.itio:is. she h• d sustained little if any damage. ' 1 " 1 er, last week, was all that could be wished for the harvest. On Saturday, a slight shower or two fell. On Sunday, the wind blew rather fresh, and during the night increased to almost a hurricane. Yesterday, also, we had a strong breeze from the south-west, but in other respects the weather was genial and seasonable. RIIUDDLAN ROYAL EISTEDDFOD.—A meeting of the Liverpool Committee, in aid of the objects of the Rhuddlan Royal Eisteddfod, was held at the office of Messrs. Cotes worth, Wynne, and Lyne, yesterday, the Rev. D. James, A.M., in the chair. The following gentlemen were present :---Ales , rs. Robert Wynne, David Evans, Roger L. Jon:'?, John Br coe, William Jones, Samuel Lloyd, R. P. Williams, E. ward W. Thomas, B. Williams, Dr. Gam is, E. P. Jones, and Ellis Jones. The following re soluti in. moved by ITavid Evans, Esq., and seconded by Robert Wynne, E ry., was carried unanimously :—" That this Committee, whilst anxious to do nothing which may tend to mar the arrangements of the Rhuddlan Commit tee, still desire to state that they disapprove of Pe in tended engagement of English vocalists and band from London, and would respectfully recommend a reconside ration of this part of the proposed arrengement, wish the view to saving expense, and the encouragement and pro motion of native talent." 2,:ADFUL ACCIDENT Oft THE RIVER.- NINE LIVES LOST. On .s=st:4l7 eveoing a melancholy accident occurred off Easrham, ffolh the upsetting of a beat, carrying a pleasure party, by whic:t ilfee lives have been lost. The following are the circumsfa - fvces, ascertained by us from inquiry on the spot. At afierett half-past five o'clock the boat in question—a half-decked fishing or pleasure boat—belong ing to a person named Blackie, started from the south end of King's Dock Pier, having on board ttvo of his sons and a party of friends, with the intention of making a pleasure trip to Eastham and back. The sail up the river was safely accomplished, the boat in question, so far as we could learn, being perfectly fitted in every respect for such work, having previously made much more hazardous excursions, both for pleasure and on fish ing trips up the river. At about 20 minutes to S, p.m., she started on her homeward course, having on board fourteen persons, and the river, so far as we could learn, presenting no appearance which would excite in the minds of unskilled navigators the idea of any danger. It was, in fact, within the Eastham bight, which our readers are aware, is protected by high banks and overhanging woods, and like a sheet of glass. The boat accordingly hoisted all sail, with the intention, it is said, of racing home with another similar craft ; but when about a hundred yards from the north or new slip of Eastham ferry, a sudden squall struck her, the wind outside the protecting land blowing a gale, and she went over and sunk instantly. The boat with which she was about to have a trial of speed was at the time only about 30 to 50 yards eastward of her, and having a reef in her mainsail, was enabled to weather the squall, but unfortunately could afford no relief to the submerged passengers. The number of passengers missing is as follows, viz : A boy named Youd. Two boys (twins), named Gerard, a little over fourteen years of age. One of these, the eldest, swam lustily for some time; but before assistance could he rendered him was heard to exclaim "I'm done," and sank immediately. William Blackie, aged about eighteen, son of the owner of the boat. Two young women, one a servant, named Elizabeth Walker, and her sister Ann. The latter was only married a week ago. These young women, who reside in Tox teth-park, had under their care two children named Spen cer, one about seven years old and the other about four years, both of whom are lost. The whole of this party were seen to enter the forecastle ; and it was supposed that they would be found there when the boat was got up out of the water. The other party missing is a young man named John Duncan, making nine in all, who have perished through this lamentable occurrence. The accident was witnessed from on board the Eastham packet-boat, which was just discharging her passengers at the old slip, opposite to the hotel, and promptly put out for the relief of the sufferers. She was fortunate, by great exertion on the part of the crew, in picking up two boys named Joseph Blackie, son of the owner of the boat, and Richard Ash, or Ashworth, who were floating on a bench used on board of the boat, which they had fortunately succeeded in securing. The steamer also picked up, in an exhausted state, two elderly parties, one resident in Bir kenhead, and both engaged in some mercantile capacity in this town. One of these at the time he was picked up was apparently dead ; but, by the exertions of a medical gentleman, who was present on board the steamer, and who inflated the lungs of the half-drowned man; he shortly breathed, and is now at the tap of the Rock Ferry Hotel, in a state of rapid convalescence. The other party was still suffering very much last night from the effects of the water which he had imbibed. Another man, named William Cooper, was picked up, after swim mine for about a quarter of an hour in the direction of the Bank opposite Eastham, by an old man, named Moses White, his son, also named Moses White, and Richard Jones, all of Eastham, and who launched their boat for the purpose. On visiting the scene of the accident yesterday, we found the mast of the unfortunate boat above water, in as nearly as could be the precise situation in which she was allowed to go down. A tug-boat, the Prince Albert, was on the spot, with two or three other boats, for the purpose of raising her. Chains were got under her, both fore and aft; and with great exertion she was at length hauled up alongside the slip, so far that her side and deck could be seen. The tide flowing, however, it was found impracti cable to get her high and dry, so that her forecastle could be examined ; and she was, therefore, secured in her posi tion to wait the ebb of the tide. The scene during these operations was a painful one, the owner of the boat, who had lost one son, being present with the father; of the twins (Gerard) and of the two children (Spencer.) The relatives of the other lost parties were also pre: eat. None of the bodies had been recovered up to the hour we left Eastham last night. COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY REPORT. Monday Night. In the Share market the week has been critical. A large business has been done and prices have fluctuated materially, influenced by operations induced by the differ ent reports that have been issued. The London and Northwestern report was considered very favourable, but the effect for good of it was destroyed by the speech of the chairman, evidently made gloomy to prevent a division of more than five per cent. Large purchases however of these shares have been made (especially in London) at the lowa. prices. There can be little doubt but that the line will be in a position to pay 6 or 7 per cent. in Fe bruary next.—To-day our market is very flat, and prices close lower this evening than for some time back. The quotations for the day are :—Lancashire and Cheshire Junctions, £22 shares, 11 dis. ; Lancashire and York. shire stock, 39; Leeds fifths, 9k dis. ; Do. pref. shares, 12k; London stock, 111+; Do. new quarters, 1 18/9 pm.; Do. fifths, 1+ pm, ; Midland stock, 321; Do. halves, 24 18/9 5 5c 5 41 dis. ; North Union B stock, 160 ; Oswestrys, 61; Do, pref., 12,1 ; Old Dovers, 141 ; North Midlands, 151; _Gastrquarters, 46+ In Scotch Pig Iron there has been no perceptible change in our market during the week, and the prices continue nominally the same, 445. Cash for mixed numbers, and 455. No. 1, Gartiherrie f.o.b. at Glasgow.. Bar Iron £4 12s. 6d. in Wales ; leading brands £5 here. The business done has been of a very limited character, and the advices per steamer from the States have not caused any alteration in prices. We learn from Messrs. Mackay's timber circular pub lished on Thursday that since the 25th of January 109 vessels, 64,138 tons register. wood-laden, have arrived from British North America, viz., 42 'from Quebec, 32 from St. John, N. 8.. and 35 from other ports; in the like time last year, 125 vessels, 63,929 tons, arrived. The imports from British North America during the last three months have been sold from the quay on arrival at various prices as in quality. The consumption is going on steadily, with prices very much the same as at the opening, and from present appearances there is nothing to warrant any great change in favour of the importers or dealers. The reports from Ireland received yesterday, as to the potatoe crop, were much more favourable than the pre vious advices. _ _ The following ten gentlemen go as a deputation from the Peace Society of Liverpool :—Rev. C. M. Birrell, Rev. F. Bishop, Lawrence Heyworth, Esq., M.P., Messrs. R. V. Yates, Thos. Urquhart, Charles Edward Rawlins, Robert Henry Tate, Thomas Lilwall, and J. Stevens. THE WEALTHY ESTABLISHMENT.—The Herald brings before the public, the case of the lecturer of St. Mary's, London, as one out of many instances of the mode in which the clergy, even in London nre paid. There a gentleman of high standing actually performs a full service (for, be it understood, the rector's evening prayers are included in his duties), every Sunday, for the pittance of £lB 12s. on a four years' average, or 7s. a-week !—scarcely more than the cost of the books in which his sermons are written. THE ORION.—The trial of the officers of this ill-fated ship has been appointed to take place at Edinburgh, on Thursday, the 29th instant. The persons to be indicted are Henderson, the captain ; Langlands, the first mate ; and Williams, the second mate. The precognition, or preliminary inquiry, has been the largest ever taken in Scatland. The Procurator-Fiscal has been engaged six weeks in this work, during which almost all the steam boat captains and mates navigating the Clyde have been examined, with the view of fixing where the culpability lay. A beautiful model of the Orion has been made in Greenock, and will be used at the trial, on which the most eminent men, on both sides, of the Scottish bar will be engaged. The officers are out on bail. It is barely possible the trial may be delayed a day on account of her Majesty's expected arrival in Edinburgh on the 29th. SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION OF AMERICAN COTTON IN INDIA.—On Thursday an interesting meeting of the Manchester Commercial Association took place, Mr. J. A. Turner, president of the association, in the chair. An interesting statement was read from Mr. David Lees, a manufacturer. who had proceeded to India some time since, under the auspices of the association. for the pur pose of obtaining the best information as to the cultiva tion of American cotton in India. Numerous samples were exhibited, at the meeting, of cotton grown by Mr. Lees, from New Orleans seed, in the district of Tine velley, in Southern India, and these having been fully examined by Mr. Brown, a cotton broker, of Liverpool, had been pronounced by that gentleman equal to the finest New Orleans ever received from India. These were worth 80. per lb. Other samples of inferior quality were valued at 6d. per lb. Most of the cotton grown by Mr. Lees had been planted near the sea shore, and the trees had been on the whole most productive. Mr. Lees' statement was received with the greatest satisfaction by the association. PECUNIARV PROSPECTS OF RAILWAYS. —The gross receipts from all the railways in 18 49 amounted to £11,806,000, from which, if the working expenses be de ducted at the rate of 43 per cent., being abo ut an average of profitthe taken from the published statements of a number principal companies, there remains a net available of about X 6,729,420 to remunerate t he h o lders of pro perty to the amount of £197, 500,000, or at the rate of 3.40 per cent. ; and it, therefore , appears that all sums raised at a higher rate of interest than t his must reduce n terest fo tw r the remuneration of the aggregate revenue availab le cent., borne by die sums larger rate of interest, per of interest to raised on loans, this average ratere than 3 per cent. on the share holders cannot be stated at more theu kin gdom. at the present original proprietors.
