THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1851 BANKRUPTCY COURT.—James Turner Hall, bookseller, of Northwich, passed his last examination on Friday, and the certificate day is fixed for the 21st of August.—James Harrocks, flag-dealer, of Liverpool, came before the court on his adjourne d last examination ; but, the balance sheet not having been duly filed, an adjournment was necessary, and the case stands over until the 7th Augst. ACCIDENT ON SHIPBOAD.—On Thursday last, whilst John Tinsley, a labourer, aged 53 years, residing at 22, Fairhurst-street, Cheapside, was employed on board the brig Lovely Mary, in the George's Dock, a package slipped from one of the slings and fell upon him, breaking his arm immediately above the elbow. He was conveyed to the Northern Hospital, where he still remains. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—We perceive that two new pieces are to be introduced this week at the above cele brated place of amusement. This Tuesday evening " Tom Noddy's Secret" is to be performed; and to-morrow the patrons will be gratified with " Poor Cousin Walter" and " The Eaton Boy ;" while for Friday the bill of fare is also very attractive. The first battalion of the 91st Regiment, from Lanca shire, has been ordered for service in Ireland. Three companies embarked on Tuesday, at Fleetwood, for Bel fast, and the head-quarters, with two companies, followed on Wednesday. The company stationed in the Isle of Man will shortly embark for Belfast, where the battalion is to be stationed, in the room of the 27th Regiment, ordered to Dublin. ACCIDENT ON THE CANAL.—On Thursday afternoon. Catherine Larkin. a girl of eleven years of age, residing with her parents in a court off Oriel-street, was sitting on the canal-bank washing her feet • whilst so employed, a boat immediately beside her started, and crushed her legs against the canal-bank. A desperate laceration of the left leg was the consequence. The little sufferer was at once conveyed to the Northern Hospital. MODERN DRUIDS' FESTIVAL.—This society celebrated their anniversary on Tuesday last, by a grand gala at the . • Zoological Gardens. There was a large assemblage— nearly 3,000 persons—present ; and the amusements, con sisting of rustic sports, dancing on the green, &c., were fully appreciated. The fireworks were of a most brilliant character, and the whole proceedings went off with great eclat. FAILURES.—The following appeared in the city article of 'Wednesday's Times :—" Two failures were announced at Liverpool yesterday afternoon, the parties being Mr. G. Wright, jun., and Messrs. T. and W. Stock. The liabilities of Mr. Wright are supposed to amount to £60,000, and those of Messrs. Stock to about £35,000. The suspension in each case is understood to have been caused by the fall in cotton. THE LAW OF PUBLIC PROCESSION3.—During the investigation, on Friday, before the coroner, Mr. Dow ling stated that he had long wished there was a summary power of preventing party processions parading through the town ; and on a recent occasion. when a local act was in its course through the House of Commons, it had been attempted to insert a clause by which this power would be secured to the local magistrate, but the attempt was defeated by the House of Commons. On Friday last, through the kindness of the Messrs. Willoughby, the spirited proprietors of tho Tranmere and Birkenhead Ferries, the children of the South Church of England School, Cornwallis-street, had a pleasant excur sion to the other side of the river. After spending some hours in the Birkenhead Park, and enjoying the liberty of rambling in the neighbourhood, all returned here, early in the evening, greatly gratified with their holiday. Be fore embarking, to return to Liverpool, the boys expressed their gratitude by giving three hearty cheers for the Messrs. 'Willoughby. THE MAGICAL DANCING FIGURES.—These wonderful little articles seem to have lost little of their attraction, notwithstanding Mr. Colles's very protracted stay ; in con sequence of his having just received a fresh supply of his novelties, he.announces, in his advertisement in another part of our paper, his intention of remaining a few days more in Liverpool. Those who have not yet visited him, should really make a point of doing so at once. We per ceive that the magical figures, violoncello players, change able cards, and dissolving balls, may be viewed free of expense • such is Mr. C.'s conviction, that few who see them will be able to resist the temptation of purchasing. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—On Wednesday evening was performed Bulwer's play of the " Lady of Lyons." Miss Vandenhoff sustained the part of Pauline with great grace and effect,—powerfully depicting the struggle between love and pride. The acting of Mr. Barry Sullivan as Claude Melnotte was highly spirited, elegant, and effective. The audience were most enthusiastic in their commen dations, and, at the close of the acts, Miss Vandenhoff and Mr. Sullivan were called before the curtain. Mr. Cham berlain announced from the stage that, in consequence of the enthusiastic reception of the piece, it would be re peated during Miss Vandenhoff's engagement. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday after noon, the driver of a cart and horse left his vehicle on the road opposite the Post-office, while ho went to post a letter. During his absence the horse started off, when the near wheel of the cart, coming in contact with the kerb-stone at one of the pillars of the Post-office, turned the cart completely over, the horse being thrown fairly on his back. More than ten minutes elapsed before the horse conld be extricated from the shafts and traces • and when this was done, the animal, to the surprise of the bystanders, got upon his legs, and seemed uninjured by the accident. No one sustained any injury, though several persons had a narrow escape. SONS OF TEMPERANCE.—On Monday evening week, a soiree was held at Mr. Richmond's Temperance Hotel, Great George-street, Mr. Thomas Jones, of the Tucker man Institute, in the chair. After an excellent tea, Charles Watson, the veteran of temperance, and better known as "Teetotal Charlie," was presented with a handsome silver medal, as a token of respect and esteem for his lone and well-tried services in the temperance cause. Mr. Watson, in returning thanks, stated that, though he had received medals for defending his country on the battle-field, he had received none with so much pleasure as the one just given to him. The kindness of his friends would stimulate him to greater exertions. Several gentlemen spoke of Mr. Watson's zeal in the cause. A ball followed, and the company did not sepa rate till morning. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Wednesday morning Peter Mil ler, a draper. residing in Russell-street, was found dead under the following circumstances:—About half-past three o'clock a porter at the railway station was coming down London-road, when he saw a man in the cellar hole, opposite Mr. Powell's (a bread-baker's) shop. His head was against the wall, and his feet against the cellar door, and he appeared as if he had fallen into the cellar hole. A police-officer got the deceased out, but he was quite dead. On Tuesday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, the deceased called at his son's house, in Tithe barn-street ; he was then apparently in good health, and perfectly sober. His son never saw him afterwards alive, though he was seen by a police-officer, who knew him, about twelve o'clock, in Everton-road. He was drunk, and in the company of two females. The cause of his death was congestion of the lungs and brain, but the sur geon could not say positively how the congestion had been set up. There were no marks of violence of any conse quence on the body. An inquest was held, and a verdict of found dead was returned. THE LIVERPOOL AND PHILADELPHIA U.S. SCREW STEAM-SHIP LAFAYETTE arrived Out at New York on the 7th instant, after a disastrous run. She left Liver pool on the 17th ultimo, and on the 29th, in lat. 45, ion. 49, during a thick fog, came in collision with the English brig Jane, of Maryport, 21 days from Quebec for Europe, laden with lumber. Tile brig immediately sank, but for tunately no lives were lost, the captain and crew succeed ing in reaching the steamer. The Lafayette lost her bow sprit and jibboom, broke her cutwater, and knocked off three flanges from her propeller. The brig, at the time, was running before the wind with her studding sails set below and aloft. The Lafayette reported meeting with heavy head seas and strong westerly winds during the entire passage. On the 22d ultimo, at four p.m., whilst repairing a disaster which had occurred to her machinery, she was passed by the New York and Bremen steam-ship Hermann. One hour afterwards, however, the Lafayette again started, in a short time outran her paddle-wheel rival, and, ere night closed in, left her far astern. THE NEW DOCK BILL.—On the 4th August the new Dock Bill comes into operation, and on the 13th the dock ratepayers will be called upon to elect twelve members to serve on the Dock Committee in lieu of the present mem bers who vacate office, but are eligible for re-election. The question of rating the docks is abandoned by general consent, and, therefore, not likely to be brought forward again. The contest will, therefore, be one of principle and policy, and confined to those who are in favour of warehouses on the northern dock quays, and of developing the resources of the south end, in connexion with the timber trade, on the one hand, and those who advocate further dock extension at Bootle, on the other. The al teration in the dock management having been mainly conceded by the committee of the House of Commons on the score of the opposition given to the further erection of warehouses by the warehouse interest in the TOAn Coun cil, the ratepayers, to be consistent, must, of necessity. elect those candidates who are known to be sincere in giving the trade of the port every facility in the way of safe and economical storage. This is the great desidera tum, in comparison with which the question of north or south extension is insignificant. We understand that several gentlemen named as candidates have refused to stand, or serve, if elected, to the committee ; amongst others, Mr. Charles M'lver.—Albion. INSTITUTION FOR THE RELIEF OF WIDOWS AND ORPHANS OF CLERGYMEN. — It will be seen, by adver tisement in another column, that the annual meeting of this most excellent charity will be held at Manchester on the 7th of August. We much regret that want of space its powerful week prevents our laying fully before our readers powerful claims to Christian sympathy and support, and we must, therefore, content ourselves by merely giving thefollowing extracts from the society's prospectus : " The clergy, as a body, with means barely adequate to their own necessities, ate unable to sacrifice much towards the relief of the Widows and Orphans of their deceased brethren. S uc h a f act strengt h ens t h e c l a i ms o f . this charity on the lay mem b ers o f t h e c h urc h, w h o , a s it is presumed, are u nconsc i ous o f t h e o bj ects an d opera t ions of this institution, the subject not having been brought under the notice of congregations generally. This is to be attributed to feelings of delicacy on the part of the clergy, who are ever ready to appe a l t o th e s y m p a thy of their people in behalf of other charities. They shrink, however, from raising their voices, as it may be said, for themselves. Yet the church, in her o ff er t or y sen t ences , seems to prescribe the gathering of alma and oblations for the shepherds as well as f or th e s h eep of Christ's fold. There can be little doubt that the l a y mem b ers o f t h e church, poor as well as rich, will gratefully and liberally welcome such an opportunity of making some slight return to the clergy for the labours of love i n w hi c h t h ey have been, or are, professionally engaged." LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTE..—The re-opening of the schools is fixed for Friday next, the Ist of August. We observe the announcement of a very important im provement in the management of the library. We allude to the arrangement for delivering the books for perusal at the houses of the subscribers, and sending for them again when the period for which they have been lent has expired. WARRINGTON.—During the last three months there has not been a single committal, either to the assizes or the sessions, for offences committed in this borough during that period. The local exhibition committee have passed resolutions and adopted petitions in favour of the preservation of the Crystal Palace, under such manage ment as may make it self-supporting. They deem that it might be converted into a promenade, with herbal, floral, and sculptured accessories, while portions might be made available for fetes and exhibitions of various kinds. MR. W. BROWN AND THE AMERICAN STEAM-SHIPS. —The great house of Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co., are not owners or part-owners of any American steam ship. In his evidence before the parliamentary committee on the mail-packet station, Mr. Brown said :—We are not owners of any steam or other packets, in part or in whole, between England and the United States. There are four which come to our address, and a fifth building. These and their machinery arc insured for about £l26,ooo."—Liverpool Journal. ROBBERIES.—SeveraI robberies from the person. ac companied by violence, have lately taken place in Ros common-street and the neighbourhood. On Tuesday night, about eleven o'clock, whilst a gentleman was pas sing near George's-hill, he was attacked by two men, who first nearly strangled and then robbed him. His cries brought some persons to his assistance, but the thieves escaped before they arrived. There is an open field ad joining Roscommon-street, which is a great resort of thieves at night, and the necessity of placing an additional police-officer on that beat is apparent. PRESENTATION TO THE ENGINEERS OF THE PACIFIC. —There is now exhibiting in the shop window of Mr. Hausburg, Church street, cups. which are to be presented by the passengers to the engineers of the United States mail steamer Pacific, in honour of " their making four pas- Pages in succession the quickest on record" in that vessel. The names of the engineers are :—First, Mr. Nathan Thompson, jun., and Mr. John C. Thompson ; second, Mr. Alexander Cunningham and Mr. Beverley Parks ; third, Mr. William C. Russell and Mr. William J. Harris. Each cup bears an appropriate inscription, is mounted upon a gilded stand, and enclosed beneath a glass shade. The design is neat and the execution per fect. The times in which the four passages were effected are :—March, Liverpool to New York, 9 days 20 hours ; April, New York to Liverpool, 9 days 20 hours ; May, Liverpool to New York, 10 days 2 hours ; June, New York to Liverpool, 10 days 1i hours. _ AN INCIDENT OF THE DAY : A WARNING TO SLAN DERERS.—A few days back, two merchants were seated in a well-known dining-house. Opposite to them, at the same table, sat a gentleman, who was evidently a stranger in Liverpool. His discourse turned on cotton, and the recent results of depressed marketi. " Are there any rumours on 'Change ?" said he to one of the merchants ; " any personal rumours I mean ?" " None that I am aware of," replied the gentleman addressed. "No !" exclaimed the stranger: " what ! are there not some names mentioned ?" " Not to-day, I believe," replied the merchant. " Ah, you have not heard then," re sponded the stranger : •' at least one name is mentioned." " Indeed ! who is it then ?" " Really !" exclaimed the stranger mysteriously, " have you not heard that Mr. other, laughing, " I have not ; and I am sure that if he had stopped payment I should have known it as soon as any person." The fact is, the merchant addressed was the very man whom the stranger had mentioned. He has not stopped payment, nor is he likely to do so. He advised the stranger not to propagate the slander any further, as, being utterly untrue, its repetition might be attended with danger to the utterer.—Liverpool Times. CONSECRATION OF TWO ROMISH BISHOPS IN MAN CHESTER.—On Friday, the ceremony of consecrating two Romish bishops, the Rev. Dr. Turner, senior clergyman of St. Augustine's Chapel, Granby-row, as Bishop of Salford ; and the Rev. Dr. Errington, of St. John's, Salford, as Bishop of Plymouth, took place in St. John's Roman Catholic Chapel, Salford. The ceremony was performed by Cardinal Wiseman, who arrived on Wednes day erening in Manchester, and has since been staying at the residence of Mr. Leeming, Adelphi, Salford. There was also a large influx of Roman Catholic clergymen from all parts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire. Shortly before ten o'clock, a carriage containing the Cardinal, Dr, Cullen, and some other dienitaries of the church, arrived at the entrance of the building where the ceremony was to take place, and were received by a body of the local clergy. His eminence was warmly greeted by the persons who surrounded the entrance, a cheer welcoming him as he alighted. He then passed quickly into the interior of the church, and from thence to the sanctuary, where he put on his vestments. Shortly after ten o'clock a pro cession was formed, and the cardinal, bishops, bishops elect, and clergy, passed from the sanctuary to the altar. The clergy followed in a body; and, bringing up the rear of the procession came the cardinal, habited in scarlet vestments of the richest material, and most elaborate and gorgeous design. He wore his mitre, and bore a crozier in his hand. On each side of the main altar temporary ones were erected for the bishops elect, and assistant bishops, and upon each was a crucifix and two lighted candles. The clergymen having ranged themselves on each side, and the assistant bishops and bishops-elect having taken their places at the temporary altars referred to, Cardinal Wiseman, attended by the assistant priest, deacon, sub-deacon, &c., ascended the principal a lt ar , an d the ceremony commencd. After the apostolic mandate had commenced, the bishops-elect knelt before the cardi nal and took the usual oath, after which they proceeded to their seats; and what is termed the examination, followed, each rising and uncovering as they replied to the routine of the questions propounded. The examination being con cluded, a short prayer followed, and the bishops elect hav ing kissed the hand of his eminence, the ordinary of the mass commenced ; and at the end of the epistle and tract the bishops elect were vested with sandals, pectoral cross, stole, tunic, dalmatic, chausible, and maniple ; after the litany of the saints had been sung, the book of the gospels was held over the neck and shoulders of the bishops elect, and the cardinal then touched each of them on the head, saying at the same time, "Receive the Holy Ghost." The head of each of the bishops elect was then anointed, also their hands. Next followed the blessing of the crozier and ring, and placing the one in, and the other on the hands of the elect. The kiss of peace was then given, after which mass was continued, the cardinal and the bishop elect partaking of the same host and chalice. The mitre and gloves were next blessed and given to the bishops ; after which the cardinal led each of the newly consecrated bishops to the seat which he occupied, and placed croziers in their hands. He then retired to the corner of the altar, where he stood, uncovered, and gave 1 , out the hymn Te Deum, which was caught up by the choir, and pealed forth by the organ ; and as it proceeded, the new bishops, accompanied by the assistant bishops, passed, where it was practicable, through the centre isle of the church, giving their blessings to the people who lined the passage on either side. Mass was then con cluded; and, at its termination, each of the bishops advanced to the altar, and making three reverences as they approached Cardinal Wiseman, repeated the words ad mullos annos, wishing him many years of health. Ile then received the kiss of peace, and the ceremonial con cluded. Cardinal Wiseman, the bishops, and clergy then returned to the sanctuary in the same order in which they came from it. From the commencement of the proceed. ings the spacious church was densely crowded by a highly. respectable congregation, many of whom were compelled to stand during the ceremony ; and this, notwithstanding the very high prices of admission charged. Shortly after the conclusion of the proceedings Cardinal Wiseman pro. ceeded from the vestry to his carriage, which was in waiting at the gates. When officiating, he wore, in addi tion to his vestments, the usual scarlet stockings, scarlet gloves, splendidly embroidered, over which he wore the rings emblematic of his office, and a small scarlet cowl on the top of his head. PUBLIC MEETINGS. WEST DERBY BOARD OF GUARDIANS.-Mr. Roskell presided at the meeting of the board on Wednesday. It was resolved that a call should be made on the several townships of the union for their amount of the county_ rate, as per precept from the clerk of the peace, dated the 21st instant.—Mr. Alpass moved, and Mr. Miller seconded the resolution.—On the motion of Mr. Alpass, seconded by Mr. J. Birch, Richard Shaw was appointed, on behalf of the board, to examine and sign, if found correct, all bills submitted to him occasionally by the master of the Workhouse, pursuant to one of the regulations of the consolidated order.—This comprised the chief business of interest. HEALTH COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting of this body was held on Thursday. Mr. Alderman Parker pre sided, and the following members were also present : Messrs. Atkinson, Godfrey, Hodson, Beckwith, Chalmer, Thomson, Johnson, Langsdale, Fernihough, and Hindley. Previous to the admission of the reporters, Mr. James Langley was appointed solicitor of the local rates, in place of Mr. Wm. Carruthers, deceased.—The tender for print ing was given to Mr. Thomas Brakell, and that for sta tionery to Mr. George M'Corquodale.—The report of the medical officer of health stated there was an increase in the mortality of the town over the previous week. The number of deaths for the week was, within the parish, 148 ; and, in the extra parochial wards, 45, making a total of 193 ; being a decrease of 23 on the corresponding week of the three previous years, exclusive of the time of the prevalence of cholera.—Mr. Beckwith observed, that a me dical officer of health was again not present ; on Tuesday, he was in the court, and it was now said he was ill in bed. It was a capital berth, he wished ho (Mr. Beckwith) had been a doctor.—Mr. Fernihough said Dr. Duncan's evi dence in the Passage Court certainly appeared in the newspapers in the sausage case.—Mr. Thomson thought, perhaps, the sausages might have disordered the doctor. (Laughter.)—A memorial was read from Messrs.Wifliams and Jones, requesting that the name of Paul -street should be changed.—The Chairman : " Now, what in the world can be their motive ?" (Laughter.) The memorial set forth that the object was to obtain for the neighbourhood a more respectable class of tenants. (The whole committee became convulsed with laughter.)—A memorial was read from the inhabitants of Blackstock-street and neighbour hood, requesting to have that and several other adjoining streets adopted.—Belvedere-road was adopted by the committee.—A letter was read from Mr. Thomas Mills, treasurer of the School for the Blind, requesting that the land at the back of the institution might be inspected by the surveyor, with the view of abating a nuisanee.—Mr. Wilkinson was elected superintendent of the Pierhead Baths. THE DOCK COMMITTEE.—At the weekly meeting, on Thursday, Mr. Littledale. the chairman, presided, and the following members were present :—Messrs. Moly_ neux, Sandbach, Rankin. Steele, Langsdale, Tobin, Bold, Kendall, jones, Hall, Fisher, Lockett, Robinson, and Gregson.—The committee decided to prosecute Messrs. M'Lean and Co. for employing an unauthorised indivi dual to perform the duty of master-porter for the steamer Livorno.—An application was made from Messrs. More ton, of London, for the use of some old building, or hulk, wherein to demonstrate the effect of their " Fire Annihi lator."—Some angry conversation arose upon the subject of the payment of £lOO per annum for the cleaning of offices in the dock-yard. Mr. Langsdale provoked the discussion by objecting to the amount when read over amongst the weekly payments. Several members of the committee deprecated the course which Mr. Langsdale was taking, inasmuch as he was placing himself in oppo sition to the sub-committee, of which he was a member. — The Committee of Works produced the annual report of the Surveyor, concerning the general state and progress of the dock works, and the expenditure which had been incurred during the year ending 24th June, 1851. The total expenditure upon new works was stated to be £217,556 15s. Bd. ; the repairs, &e., altogether amounted to £22,014 17s. id. The stock of iron, Scc. on the 20th June, 1850, was estimated at £35,012 Os. 3d. ; while, on the same date of the present year, it was £23,153 16 3 . 11d. •• • .•••..•• THE SELECT VESTRY.—At the fortnightly meeting on Tuesday, the Ven. Archdeacon Brooks presided, and the following members were present ----Messrs. Whitby, Clarke, Denton, Gardner, Bradley, Fairhurst, Johnson, Shakeshaft, Woodruff. Savage, Troughton. Mellor, Hand, Ireland, Pemberton, Wylie, and Luff. The minutes of the Finance Committee showed that the giving of remu neration to the collectors of the voluntary rate had been referred to the Equitable Rating Corn mittee. Mr. Ham p son, a collector of rates on cottage property, had been dismissed ; but a motion of Mr. Woodruff to prosecute him for malversation, had been negatived. Mr. Lodge, another collector, had received a month's notice to leave, owing to neglect of his duties, occasioned by illness. The sub-committee appointed by the Parochial Committee to seek for a reduction in the amount paid by the parish in magistrates' clerks' fees, submitted a communication, showing a gradual increase in the amount of these fees within the past few years, and maintaining that there was a call for revision. A mere copying clerk could prepare the necessary documents. The charge for summonses was not only a hardship upon poor ratepayers, but the cost interfered with the attempt now making to collect the cottage rates. Mr. Woodruff moved, and Mr. Denton se conded, the confirmation of the proceedings : it being ar ranged that the portion relating to Mr. Lodge should be referred back, in order to allow him to show that he had collected more money within the last quarter than any other collector, except Mr. Downes, who had a larger dis trict. Mr. Johnston, in reference to the communication on the magistrates' clerks' fees, said that a deputation had waited on the Finance Committee of the Town Council on the subject, but no satisfactory arrangement could be made. The parish was now paying from £2,000 to £4,000 per annum in these fees, and if such heavy charges were persevered in, they would prevent the collecting of rates from any but first-class property. He thought that a sub- committee should be appointed to consider the matter. Messrs. Johnson, Dover, and Carne wereappointed a second deputation on thesubject. The miscellaneous businesscom prised few items of interest. Mr. Denton proposed the mo tion of which he had given notic3—" That so much of the minutes of the Workhouse Committee, and confirmed by this board on the 21st of January, which relate to the alteration of storekeeping in the house, be rescinded." Mr. Hand seconded the motion, and, after some little dis cussion, Mr. Mellor moved, and Mr. Ireland seconded, an amendment, " That the further consideration of the mat ter be postponed until the next meeting." The amend ment was lost. THE COURT OF PASSAGE. The sittings on Monday, the 21st instant, of this court commenced before Charles Crompton, Esq., assessor. SAUSAGE MANUFACTURE -FLEET V. BOYD AND WIFE This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a saU;iiie manufacturer, for slander spoken by the female defendant, who it was alleged had accused the plaintiff of having put diseased meat in his sausages, the effluvium from which has caused her cows to die. She complained to a clerk in the sanatory department, who told her to send a note to the office, which she did, and an inspection was then made. The defendant had, it was further urged, extensively cir culated this report to the great injury of the plaintiff, and consequently had been compelled to bring the present action. Mr. Filer opened the proceedings, and Mr. James stated the case for the plaintiff, after which a number of witnesses were called to prove that Mr. Fleet's meat was sound and orthodox, and that no nuisance exist'A on his premises. Robert Higgins, who had been employed to inspect the latter, as well as the shippon of Boyd, the de fendant, said that he found the premises of Mr. Fleet in a very clean state, while the shippon of the defendant was filthy. If any nuisance arose, the inspector said it vas from the manure in the shippon. Isabella Connor, the housekeeper to the plaintiff, who acted also as the superin tendent of the sausages, averred that no diseased meat was ever boiled up and put into them. Meat was bought to give to the pigs, and hung upon the piggery, but when it went sour or bad it was buried. The defendant's side of the question was heard on Tuesday, an adjournment being made. Mr. Blair contended, first, that the state ment made by Mrs Boyd was a privileged zonamunication; and next, that it was founded on fact, and justified by the kind of cattle purchased bp the plaintiff. Mr. Blair pro ceeded to call several witnesses. William Dobson, one of the witnesses called, averred that the plaintiff had con fessed to him that he had used bad meat for pigs' head and sausage. No man could manage in the sausage trade, the witness further asserted, without doing so. He him self had put "jig" beef into pigs' head and sausages, and he deemed that a cow which had died of the milk fever was not bad meat. He had occasionally bought horseflesh himself too, but alive, and not from the knacker's yard. William Boyd, son of the defendant, who turned the plaintiff's machine, and helped to chop the meat, said that the plaintiff bought all sorts of meat. Several small calves, very black, were hanging about the kitchen. These were chopped up for sausages. He had been in the cellar, and seen bad meat there ; it was very black, and smelt awful. (Laughter.) This was all mixed up for sausages. (Laughter.) In March last, he saw hanging in the plaintiff's shed a fore-quarter of a cow, which was very bad. He (witness) had sold Fleet a heifer, which was in an "awful" state. His (witness') parents did not know of this. The heifer was sold for ss. The heifer was not fit to give to the pigs, and he (witness) would not give it to theirs. The heifer was boiled in the pigs' head boiler. (Laughter.) Counter evidence was called to show that Boyd had never seen the meat chopped, and had never assisted at the machine. Some other witnesses having been examined, Mr. James, at considerable length, replied upon the whole case. He attempted to account for the diseased, or indifferent meat, found on the premises of the plaintiff, by asserting that it was for the purpose of being forwarded to the aviary of the Earl of Derby, and that none of it was used for the purpose attributed by the defandant. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages one farthing. Mr. James, before the rising of the court, moved for a new trial, on the ground that the damages given constituted an inconsistent finding. The jury had decided that the libel was false and malicious, and yet, where the pecuniary damage was so great, they had not awarded any compensation. The assessor said the jury, by their verdict, had vindicated the character of the plaintiff; but the evidence had been such as to almost induce persons not to eat sausages again. However, he would take till the next day to consider the matter. ALLEGED SLANDER-HARGREAVES V. SMITH This was an action to recover damages for slanderous expressions uttered by the defendant to the injury of the plaintiff. Mr. Simon, in opening the case, said that the plaintiff, Hannah Hargreaves, was a young woman who supported herself and her aged parents respectably, by carrying on the trade of a butcher, at Edge-hill. The defendant, Mr. John Smith, was a carcase butcher and slaughter-house keeper, in this town. The brother of the plaintiff, who is in the habit of making purchases for his sister, bought two calves from a man named Hayes, at the defendant's slaughter-house, when the defendant told Hayes that if he delivered them he would never get a far thing of the money. He also said (alluding to the brother and sister), " They are a set of rogues and thieves ; one buys the stock, and the other swindles the seller out of his money." At this time the witness had one of the calves' heads in his hand, and Hayes was about to give him the other; but, after the plaintiff had made use of these expressions, which he repeated several times, Hayes refused to deliver the calves, and took the head from him. There were a number of persons standing by who heard the expressions, and his sister's business had fallen off in consequence.— Mr. Atkinson addressed the jury, and con tended that the expressions made use of amounted to nothing more than what the law called a " privileged communication," which one tradesmanwas quite at liberty to make to another when asked his opinion on such an occasion.—After the assessor had summed up, the jury immediately returned a verdict for the defendant. SINGULAR CASE OF FALSE IMPRISONMENT-HANNIBAL V. WILLIAMS This was an action for faiS;in;rlsonment, the damages being laid at £l9. The plaintiff was foreman to a block maker in this town, and had held his situation for the last sixteen years. On Sunday evening, the 27th of April, the plaintiff and defendant met together in the parlour of the Globe Inn, in St. James's-street; and, whilst they were taking their pipe and glass together, the plaintiff, in course of conversation, made use of the word " dissolve." The defendant told the plaintiff he did not understand the meaning of the word. The plaintiff denied the asser tion ; and, to " back his argument," offered to bet the defendant half a-crown that he could give the proper meaning of the word, at the same time " posting" his money on the table. Tne defendant as readily covered the deposit with another half-crown, and the plaintiff proceeded to give his definition of the word—what that was, unfortunately, did not appear. However, it was deemed satisfactory by the defendant, as well as the rest of the company, which consisted of a sailor and a black smith. The plaintiff then pocketed his own half-crown, and proposed to spend the other. To this proposal the company, of course, made no objection ; and the defen dant very philosophically partook of a glass of ale and a pipe of tobacco as his share. But the soothing influence of the " fragrant weed" had not its usual effect—the loss of the half-crown was too much for his equanimity ; and, when the plaintiff retired from the house the defendant followed Lim, and demanded his money back. This, of course, was refused—it was gone—spent—the plaintiff had not got It. Nothing but the money, however, would satisfy him, and to such an extent did he carry his deter mination, that on a policeman coming up he gave the plaintiff into custody for stealing half-a-crown from him. They proceeded together to the bridewell, where the defendant insisted on having the charge booked, and the plaintiff was accordingly locked up. The next morning he was taken before the magistrates •, but, as the party charging did not appear, he was discharged. When the policeman called upon the defendant the following morn ing, to tell him to come to the court, he said, " 1 shan't appear ; I only want my half-crown back." —Mr. James addressed the jury in mitigation of damages. and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 40s. IMPORTANT TO RAILWAY PASSENGERS. -WELCH V. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the value of a package containing 18 lbs. of cigars, under the following circumstan ces : The plaintiff drove to the railway station, and was too late for the train. One of the company's porters took his iuggage into the yard, placed it on the platform, and promised to " have an eye" to it until the next train started. When the plaintiff returned to go by the next train, he said that one of the p .ckages he had left, that containing cigars, was missing. It was proved that the value of the cigars was upwards of £7 odd, but there was conflicting evidence whether the package was ever delivered to the porter. The porter positively swore that he never saw it. It also came out, on cross-examination of the plaintiff's witnesses, that there was a depot set apart by the company for passengers' luggage, on payment of 2d., and that there was a notice up that the compeny would not be responsible for luggage left for the convenience of passengers, unless placed in the depot. At the close of the plaintiff's case, Mr. James, on behalf of the defendants, submitted that there was no case ; that the special contract declared upon was not made out ; and, if it had been, that the porter could not bind the company; and that, in fact, the plaintiff had never taken his ticket, and that there was no contract to carry either him or his luggage. Mr: Aspinall, on behalf of the plaintiff, contended that he had made out the case, and quoted certain decisions. The Assessor said there was clearly no case ; that the porter could not bind the company ; that no ticket had ever been taken ; and that the contract was not made out. Plaintiff was non-suited. _ _ Mr. Aspinall said it was a very shabby thing for the company to defend the action. Mr. James said that the reason why the company had defended the action was, that the plaintiff had demanded £24, nearly four times the value of the cigars ; and it would never do for the company to admit that their com mon porters could make special contracts on their behalf.

Brook, Esq., !hurch, Huddersfield, by Hastings Irwin Esq., of LINFORD This was an action for an assault committed by the defendant upon the plaintiff's wife, in which, with great force, she was pulled, knocked about, struck, and her clothes torn. Mr. Walmsley was a wheelwright, and the defendant was his nephew. On the 14th of May, Mrs. Walmsley went to the house of the defendant, in Gilbert street, for the purpose of inquiring about a dog she had lost, and which she understood was in the possession of the defendant. She first saw the defendant's mother, who, after some angry words had passed between them, shut the door in her face. The defendant then opened the door and made a violent attack upon her ; he knocked her down, and, although she was far gone in a state of preg nancy, he threw himself upon her and held her down. His mother and wife afterwards lifted her up and thrust her out at the gate of the yard, where they left her to get home as well as she could. The result of this usage was that she was confined to her bed for more than a week, and attended by a medical man for a fortnight, whose bill was upwards of £9. Mr: James addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant, and called several witnesses who were in the house at the time of the alleged assault, who described the circum stance, of the affair i❑ a very different manner. The jury returned a verdict for the plaiutiff—damages, 40e. ACTION FOR SLANDER. - SWINDEN V. MULLENS. The plaintiff had formerly been shopman to the defendant, a provision-dealer, of this town. He left 11:s service in May last, and applied to a Mr. Boyd, who carries on the same description of business, for a situation. A reference was required, and the plaintiff referred him to his late master. Mr. Boyd called upon the defendant, and it was at that time the imputed slander was uttered. The Assessor stated that without the jury were of opinion that there was something like malice in this statement, it was certainly nothing more than a " privi leged.comtnunication." The jury did not think there was any malice, and the plaintiff was non-suited. The other cases were devoid of public interest CHESHIRE -----4.-- NE WS. Mr. Rawlinson, inspector under the general board of health, will hold a court of inquiry, at Seacombe, on the 31st instant. John Williams, Esq., M. P. for Macclesfield, has offered a prize of £lO for the best essay on the subject, " WaleS as she is, and as she ought to be." SUDDEN DEATH.—On Wednesday evening last, at eight o'clock, a man, named John Kellett, in the employ of Mr. Johnson, coach builders, Market -street, Birken head, was proceeding through Hamilton-square, when he suddenly staggered and fell to the ground. A quantity of blood issued from his mouth, and on being raised from the 'ground he was found to be quite dead. A policeman ;n Grange-lane, Birkenhead, was invited the other evening by a man who was in liquor, to take a glass of ale. On looking at his would-be entertainer, he recognised him as a convict, named Fulton, who had escaped from Knntsford gaol, dressed in the turnkey's clothes. He was safely lodged in bridewell for the night, and next day conveyed back to his old quarters at Knuts ford House of Correction. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—The arbitrators appointed to decide the remuneration to be paid to this company for the conveyance of the mails during the period antecedent to the completion of the Britannia-bridge have recently made their award. It is stated that Captain Wil liams, Royal Engineers, the arbitrator on the part of the Post-office, fixed the amount at £ll,OOO ; but the umpire, Mr. J. A. Roebuck, M.P., decided the award at £28,000. . - A DISORDERLY,—A flashy-looking female, named Louisa Shaw, appeared before the magistrates at Birken head, last week. It was said that the prisoner was respect ably connected, and some time ag o caused no little sensa tion by her proceedings befor , the police-court. Since then, it appears, she has been keeping a house of ill-fame in Tranmere, and has become a complete nuisance to the neighbourhood. The magistrate committed her to the House of Correction for one month, to be kept to hard labour. A DISHONEST SERVANT. — Elizabeth Dunn, a servant to Miss Hodgson, of Liscard, has been committed to trial by the magistrates of Birkenhead for robbing her mistress. It appears that on Friday afternoon, during Miss Hodgson's absence, the prisoner broke open all the drawers in the house, which she ransacked, and then dressed herself in Miss Hodgson's clothes, with which she went to Liverpool, and returned late in the evening in a state of intoxication. Next morning part of the property was found concealed under her bed, part in her pocket, and several articles are not yet recovered. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION IN NORTH WALES.— The communication between Liverpool and Holyhead, by means of the electric telegraph, is now complete, and in full operation, yid Chester. There requires now but the laying down of the long-projected sub-marine telegraph between the island of Anglesey and tho sister country, fully to complete the chain of telegraphic communication between Dublin, London, and the great towns of England. It is proposed, on the completion of the South Wales Railway, to adopt the system on that line, and finally to extend it to the Pembrokeshire coast.

MANSLAUGHTER NEARFRODSHAM. — Adisastrons affair has occurred at Alvanley, near Frodsham, in which a Mr. Nixon, a respectable farmer of that place, received a mor tal stab with a knife from the hand of John Littlemore, a man who had formerly been in his em pl o y men t. Little more had become attached to a girl in the service of Mr. Nixon, but the latter was averse to his visits, and threatened him with personal chastisement if be persisted in them. On Wednesday week Mr. Nixon met the suitor in a lane near his own house ; angry words ensued ; and the farmer held a horsewhip in a threatening manner over Little more's head. A struggle took place, when Littlemore stabbed Nixon in the belly, and then ran away. Nixon followed, and a second struggle ensued, in which he knocked Littlemore down, and dashed his head against the ground. The farmer then went home, and, on the wound being inspected, it was found that the intestines had protruded, and that mortification had already com menced. He died on Saturday. Littlemore has been committed to the assizes on a verdict of manslaughter. THE CHESHIRE BURGLARS.—About a fortnight since, a violent attack by an armed banditti was made on the house of Mr. Hine, near Macclesfield. Information of the outrage was given as early as possible at the county police office, and Mr. Williamson, the special high constable, lost no time in taking steps to discover the party. Hand bills, containing a description of the watch, and offering a reward for its recovery, and the apprehension of the bur glars, were at once printed and circulated. On Thursday last, Mr. Williamson received information of a gold watch having been offered for sale at Mr. Drakeford's, of Congle ton, and on arriving there he found that the watch an swered the description of the one stolen. Mr. Drakeford having just received one of the handbills when the watch was offered, had caused the man to be detained in custody. Mr. Williamson at once took him over to Macclesfield, and by Friday morning the constables had taken the whole of the gang into custody. Their names are Jonathan Bradley, by whom the watch was offered, Jacob Dean, James Middleton, Joseph Middleton, and Thomas Ridge way. They are well known to the police, Dean having kept a house which has been the resort of thieves. Mr. Hine also identified the watch, and the burglars have also been recognised as the persons who made the attack. INTERESTING FACT.—The following singular and au thentic case of restoration of the human hair is worthy of observation, more particularly as it relates to an article of high and universal repute during/the last half century. Mr. A. Herrmann, of Queen-stteet, Soho, had been quite bald for some time past, a had tried various prepara tions for the recovery of is . hair, but with ou t any bene ficial result. Be wa en induced to try the effects of " Rowlands' Ma r Oil," and after daily applying it for about two ui ths, he, welt to his gratification, had his hair quite stored, an ow possesses a beautful head of hair. s fact speaks too strongly for itself to require comaleat—Bell's Weekly Menenyer.
