The Empress 'left St. Mud before daybreak thisimorning far Scotland. The Emperor escoited her to the Northent. Railway station, and after -awards presided at a council of ministers. The government evening journals received orders not to speak of the departure. The Paris letter 'of the Daily Hews says that the low-spirited state in which the Empress has been since the death!of her sister renders her more than ever accessible to priestly influence, and that, being unable to influence the Emperor, she wishes to be out of the way, in order the more c ompletely to Wash her hands of all responsibility for the events that are likely to occur in Rome. ' The Emperor was to go to Compiegne to-day. A pamphlet has appeared in Paris, suggesting that the Emperor should concentrate in his own person political and religious supremacy. "THE FRENCH FUNDS.

The Piedmon tese have occupied fresh positions round the town. The garrison of Gaeta nnnibers less than 10,000 /nen. GAETA. An Italian journal says, a conspiracy has been discovered in the garrison of Gaeta, having for its object the death of Francis 11., and the capture of the other princes of the blood. Two officers, a sergeant, and an Irishman have been shot ; but as the plot is extensive and well con ceived, it will be difficult to follow it in all its ramifications. ROME. The ,Paris correspondent of the Daily News says that it appears certain that the question of the Pope's departure from Rome was warmly dis cussed at the last Council of Cardinals, presided over by his Holiness ; but that the Council broke up without coming to any decision. VENETIA AND HUNGARY. The _Espero of Turin says the Austrian prepa rations for war in Mantua are continued, and the idea of attacking the Piedmontese still exists. The Austrian officers do not conceal it. The Vienna, Post, referring to the pacific assu rances at the Lord Mayor's banquet, says, that the tempests of winter are at present the only preservatives against war ; and adds, we may preserve peace for two or three months to come, a maritime insurance 'company would, perhaps, not guarantee it even for that interval. • A Vienna letter says that attempts have been made to introduce arms into Hungary. It is said that vessels coming from England, especially some colliers from Hull and Newcastle, are engaged in this contraband trade. THE COTTON TRADE. COURT OF EXCIIEQUErth-NOIT. 14 Sittings in Banco,—(Befor, e the Lgrcl,Chief . , l3 are) and .Thirotig Bramwell, Channel], and Wilde.) :GEE AND OTHERS O. THE LANCASHIRE AND YORK SHIRE RAftwat COMPANY.—This was Nii appeal against the direction of the judge of the County Court of Lanca , ' shire, under the following cirtainstances-:---LThe plaintiffs, who are cotton spinners at Oldham, claimed from the defendants £2olos. as damages for the neglect of the defendants in delaying to deliver fifteen bales ofteottoii which had been sent by their line, as common carriers. The learned judge directed the jury at the bearing that they should award the plaintiffs a the amount of the wages which the plaintiffs hid to pay while their mill was stopped in consequence of the non-delivery of the cotton, and also the amount of the profits they had lost throught the same cause. It was submitted that these' items were not recoverable, and hence the present appeal. Mr: Clay appeared for the appellants, sand Dr. Wheeler for the respondents. The Lord Chief Baron, having adverted to the facts of the case, said it appeared, to Mm that the learned judge had directed the iery wrong in telling them they should award to the plaintiffs wages uselessly paid while the mill was stopped, and +also compehsation for losses by the non-arrival of the cotton. All this was not the consequence of that alone, but also of this, that the plaintiffs had no other cotton to resort to. Now, his impression was that, although the railway company were bound, as common carriers, to take goods at a reasonable rate, they would have been justified in in creasing it if they had seen that they would brave incurred a responsibility by not delivering the goods, and thereby they should rause the stopping of the : plaintiffs!•rnill. Distinct notice should have been b(riven. to' theni that if they did not deliver the cotton by certain day they would. keep the mill standing ; and in the absence of such notice tho. plaintiffs were not entitled to recover 'for the items as laid down in the ruling of the learned judge. The other learned judges concurred.. Judgme!it for the appellants. GERMANY. DRESDEN, Nov. 15. . In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, M; Viedel proposed the re-establishment of the German central power, with the addition of the Weessary popular representation, CHINA. The Moniteur says that a despatch from Gen. Sir Hope Grant, dated 27th September, and which came from Aden by telegraph to her Majesty, fully authorises the hope that,a fresh recourse to arms will not have been necessary ; and that the Chinese Government will have hastened to sanction the conditions already con sented to by the Plenipotentiaries. .Tang-Chou, where alone they will negotiate, is only 10 miles from Pekin.

To my Companions in Arms,—We must now consider the period which is just finishing as the last stage but one in our national resurrection, and prepare ourselves to finish worthily the marvellous design of the elect of twenty enera tions, the completion of which Provide nce has reserved for this fortunate age of yours. Yes, ' young men, Italy owes to you an undertaking which has marked the applause of the universe. You have conquered and you will conquer, because henceforth you are prepared for the tactics that decide the fate of battles. To this wonderful age in our country's history another more glorious still will be added, and the slave shall show at last to his free brethren a sharpened sword forged from the links of his fetters. To arms then all of you—all of you—and the op pressors and the mighty will disappear like the dust. You too, women, cast away all cowards fro m you arms : they will only give you cowards for children ' • and you who are the daughters of the land of beauty must hoe children whotare noble and brave. Let 'tilt:a doctrinaires depart from amongst tS, to carry elsewhere_ their ser vility and their miserable fears. This people is its oWn master; it wishes to be the brother of other peoples, and to look on the insolent with a proudface ; not to grovel before them imploring its own freedom ;it will no longer be ra g e along by men whose hearts are base. Nod, No No ! Providence has presented Italy, With `Victor Shotild Ali'y retina him. By the side of Victor Eihnutnnel every quarrel should be forgottenall rancour disappear. Once more I repeat my battle cry,—To all of vovil if March 1861 does not find a' pillion of Italians in arms, then, alas for . liberty ! alas fOr the life of Italy ! Oh, no ! fir be from me a thought . which I loathe like poison; the March of 1851, or if necessary February - will find us all at our posts. - Italians of .

ReceiVe, they, lily gallant young volun teers, the hon6Ared eoeclhsion of ten battles—one word of farewell from the. I utter this word With the deepest affection and from' the very bottom of my heart. To-day' I am obliged to retire, but for a few days only. The hour of battle will find me with you again by the side Of the champions of Italian liberty. Let those only return to their homes who are called by ttie imperative duties which they owe • to their . families, and those who by their glotions wounds have deserved the gratitude of their Country.. These, indeed, will serve -Italy' in their homes by their counsels—by the Yery aspect of their noble wounda. Apart troth these, let all' others reain to. guard our glorious banners.

THE MONEY MARKET, DRA:tx OF j A MILLION OF GOLD FROM THE BANK ON FRENCH, ACCOUNT. -, The Times says that the contract made by the 'Bank of France with the bullion dealers is for one million pounds . instead .of £500,000. In addition to the £300;000 withdrawn. on Tuesday £333,000 Was t4ken, i yesterday, and p 365,000 more is expected follow,. The Times says that the applications Mr disoaunt at the Bank, which were on Tuesday of A very moderate' character, were yesterday eitraordinarily large, mainly,, it is believed,. to prtivide apinst the contingency of a further advance in the rate at the weekly court to-day. The return made up last :evening will probably show that the bullion has.been reduCed to about £13, 9 00,000, and it must be eipeeted that neit week the figures will ; at the best, be down to £12,800,000. There is nothing, ' however, in these prospects to lead to the idea of any very violent aetionbeing necessary. While our banks and capitalists are reaping higher remuneration for the use' of their money, the rise in the value of that article checks the upward tendency of foreign produce, and especially • of the great staples now most ,in denland-- , Lcorn and cotton. Ourhome manufacturers find, thentstlires partially interfered With, but, as a geratal ?kV, Ruder a healthy condition of commerce it it Alway - s raw produce that is most liable to suffer Whenever there .is a scarcity . of capital. The Times reports that discount houses have raised tlAr,allowaaces on deposits to 4 per cont:' for money. at call, •and 41, per cent. , with seven days', notice. The joint-stack banks have also increased their rate'to.4 per. cent : the London and Westminster, however, giving . , only 3 for sums below £5OO. The Daily News say's that in the discount market, yesterday, exceptional transactions occurred in the best short bills at 41 per cent., but in most quarters the terms were from. sto 51. For any bills having more, than tro months to run much higher rates were required, - FRENCH FINANCE. The Times shows some connection between the French imperial policy and the present bullion difficulties of the Bank of France—:-Since the autumn of 185 the banks of France and. England have experienced a drain of £15,000,000. It is hard e'-en Tor England, with her. to - mindless , trade - and: extraordinary credit, to maintain the scale of expenditures now being fOreed upon - her ; but for France, the financial policy of the Emperor must sooner or later be ruinous. In Syria and China the outlay must have been immense. The French army, at Rome, has been maintained on a scale of increased costliness., In the midst of all these charges France has parted with 800,000 f. to the Viceroy of Egypt, and is every day augmenting, in every, quarter, the expenses of her armaments, and also of her diploniatie establish ments. Lord John Manners and Lord Stanley are on a visit to Mr. Disraeli in Bucks. A number of members of the English bar propose to invite M. Berryer, the distinguished Preneh advocate, to a dinner to be given in one of the halls of the Inns. of Court. The Himalaya, the screw steam-frigate Orlando, the paddle-wheel steam-sloop Gorgon, and another ship have been appointed to take a position 250 miles west of the Scilly Islands, and there to form; ext , :nditzt, north, and south, so as to lie across the coarse of the Hero and her consorts, and either to receive the Prince of Wales or, to return to port and early intimate the approach' of his Royal Highness. VOLUNTEERS' UNIFORMS• (Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Westminster,.—Before Mr. I3aron Martin and Common Juries.) JACKSON V. HAY.—VOLIWTEERS' Mirth i 3 '— fir ' Hawkins and Mr. Hannen :were counsel for the plain tiff; Mr. M. Chambers and Mr: Francis represented the defendant. :This was•an action brought by the'plaintiff, a : tailor, at Woolwich, to recover from the defendant, a clerk in the, Royal Arsenal and captain of; the 4th company of the 2nd Battalion of 'Volunteers, the sum of 1194 14s, 4d. for volunteers' uniforms. The defendant pleaded never indebted, except as to £25, which he paid into court. It appeared from the plaintiff's case, thatin F,ebruary last the defendant gave him.in order for the . nniforms, arranging for the price, the pattern. the number to be supplied, and the time for their, delivery. The price agreed to be paid on delivery was at the rate of £3 10s. and £5 per uniform, but after some of the uniforms had been supplied the plaintiff wa.s unable to obtain pay nient, and had, therefore, brought the present action. • In the defence it was stated that up to the time of the issuing of the writ the plaintiff had not furnished any particulars of the demand. .The defendant was a clerk in the gun 'department of the Arsenal, at 'a salary of £250 per annum, and had never intended to make himself liable for the payment of uniforms for the 113 men of which his company consisted. The fact was, that the plaintiff, being anxious to make the uniforms for the corpsobtained the permission of the defendant to make a Pattern uniform at the price of £2 18s. The men forming the company examined the materials; and the plaintiff, in reply to their inquiries, said they might have twelve months' credit. Several of the men gave orders for the uni forms, but as they were not completed within the specified time, the orders were withdrawn, and given to Messrs. Silver, of Cornhill. The defendant denied that ho had personally given orders for .the uniforms, and he had allowed his colour sergeant to collect the money from the men. He should have been in a position to pay the plaintiff an instalMent of £4O from the contri butions of the men before the action had been brought. In his cross-examination he stated that he had received upwards of £7O on account of the plaintiff, and had paid it into the clothing fund; but Messrs. Sil ver h av i ng made great exertions to complete the unif orms i n a week, he' had paid them an instalment subscribed by the men.whom that firm had supplied. Evidence having been called in support of the defendant's case, the farther hearing was adjourned until next day. • A monastic institution is about to be established in Algeria, under the name of " Peres Defricheurs.

A SON ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY HIS FATHER.--A melancholy affair has taken place in Surrey. On the 17th of last month Mr. James Herrick, sen., •of Chert say, was out shooting with his son, Mr. Jal-.. - es Herrick, jun. They c ame to a ditch wh i ch t he e lde r sportsman said he could no t j ump. " Oh, nonsense !" was the reply of the eager you ng man. On th i s M r. H err i c k, sen., gave his son, his gun and jumped over. On the gun being returned to him, the father took hold of the stock, the son having hold of the muzzle. At this moment the piece went off, and the son cried out, t‘ Father, you have blown my hand off !" The young man was removed to Kingston, where he went on well until the 24th ult., when one of the arteries which had been taken up gave way. Mr. Cock, of St. Thomas's Hospital, was then called in, in addition to the local surgeons, but on the 31st symptoms of lockjaw begaa to manifest themselves, and he finally died from exhaustion. At the inquest, on Tuesday, the father stated that in taking hold of the muzzle some compression' of the spring must have been caused, and the gun, being light on the trigger, went off. The jury returned a verdict o f ti Accidental death."

The business transacted was purely 'of a routine . character, being merely confined to the re‘elaetion of the sub.-committees for the transaction of the . basiness connected with this committee. There was a complaint against a contractor, but it was referred to a committee, as was also several other complaints. A conversation took place as to one of the °facials connected with the committee, named Series, having canvassed' for Mr. William Johnson, in the Vauxhall ward. The Chairman merely said that there was no doubt there Was a great number of Jopeses. in that iden tical ward, and, therefOre, be could not say whether it was an , official connected with the committee : but he thought the pfficials of the committee would more con sult their own peace of mind and bodily care by not interfering with electioneering matters. Of course they had a right to give, their votes. Mr. RIDLEY strongly objected to the servants of the committee interfering in election m at t ers : The following letter was dead from Dr. Holland, which was considered as most satisfactory. Buyial Acts Offices, 4, Old Palace"Vard, Westminster, S.W., November 7th, 1800 DEAR S'ia.,—Permit me to offer my best• thanks to you and the committee for kindly affording me an opportunity of seeing the great benefits that have resulted from the systematic in spection of the courts and alleys of Liverpool. When I com pare their 'condition now with what I remember: it to h ive been, and with that of similar places in Manchester and elsp where, I can most eordially , congratulate yon upon the great success which has hitherto attended the benevolent exertions of the committee. At the same time I cannot help regretting that thegood work is not even more perfectly performed, as A. might be if a few more inspectors were employed, for it is evi dent to me that much more can be done by constant supervi sion than by frequent resort to legal proceedings. In short, the people need rather to be taught how to preserve their own and their neighbours' health and comfort than to be p unished., I was pleased to observe the friendliness with which out party of inspection was received.

POLITICAL INGRATITUDE. —The Conservatives find many kind things to say in favour of Lord Palmerston, but not a single flattering word do th e y ever say in honour of poor Disraeli. We call this b ase i ngra titude, though Dis is quite strong enough to disp ense w ith their flattery. Bnt really from the compliment ar y way in which the Conservatives talk, any strangers would naturally conclude that Palmerston was their leader, and not bisraeli.

George. Martin, bootm a k e r, Mill-sheet. 6 appeared that on Wednesday' evening the prisoner, with two other persons, went to the shop door where, the boots were banging, and after looking at the " articles" for a moment or two the prisoner snatched and ran off with them. They were pursued, when the prisoner and one - of the boots were captured, but the / others got a wa y With thesecond tkiot. • The prisoner said he was drunk, and *as riot aska.re of haling ``talked'` off with the 11.13 1V64 Sept ter trial: AJNE PliEtteiN;s eLNE:" A fast-looking young lady, named Anne Preston, Was brought up by police-constable No. 11, on the following charge. The officer said—l was on duty last. night in London-road, when a gentleman informed me that a Jady was asleep on some steps, and that there was a big dog .guarding her. I went to the place and saw M iss Freston there, with a dog standing sentry over her. I apprdaelted tti *:iert het, when the do &-,, flew at me like a tiger, arid s'i;crtild itfe near her, After sonic time she, awoke, and, jumping up, - raii 6i me, aldng with the dog: and it was as much as I could do to save Myself from both. She' aimed afrnY Tace, and the dog at my legs, and then she accused me of steali n g 2s. from her. I had to get another officer to assist me, and it was as much as we could do to capture herself and her dog. Mr. Raffles; Was, she drunk ? Yes, sir. Prisoner! Excuse me for using plaht English when I tell vdif siritply yott lie. Permit me .(to Mr. Raffles) to tell YOU that I 114 d fight to,sleep there if I wished it, and when that fel ow came Up he mace most infamous • 'proposals to me, which I rejected, and thente stole 'frOrn me, and wound up his infamy by dragging me to the •station-house. The Bridewell-keeper said the prisoner was drunk and very disorderly at the station: • 'She told the same story thereto him about the officer taking the 2s. from her as she told now, but the officer denied the statement. His worship sent her to jail for I 4 days; in default of payinrr ss. and costs. CHARGE AGAINTST A MARINE STORE DEALER. John Duffy, •a Marine store dealer in Mellor-street, Great howler-street, Was brought up on remand ,by detectives Redman and Marsden, on a charge of haling,a large quantity of yellow metal, copper:broken gas fittings, brass taps, lead piping, and other property in . his store, for the proper possession of which lie could not account, not having any entry in his book of the' property, nor could he tell where he procured it. The details of this case were published a few days ago. Mr. Carr now appeared for the prisoner, and Cross examined the officers, but the facts were not disturbed. His worship fined the prisoner h 3 for not ,being, able to account for the possession of the property; SPRIOUS INJURY TO A SOY: §killii4;,s a boy who liteS fit a &dirt off St., Andrew-street, was charged for having thrown a quantity of lime mortar in the face of a lad named. Henry Townley, an apprentice to Messrs. Earle. Inspector Carlisle had charge of the case ; and from his' 'statement and the evidence, it appeared that about half past six on the evening of the 30th October , the injured lad, was passing up Copperas-hill, Where there was a building being carried on, and it seems there were some lads inside, amongst them the defendak A boy named Woodward stated, that the defendant threw a handful Of mortar dat of the building into the street, and it calm right into the eyes of the lad ToWrilev, injuring. one of the organs very much, and it is feared lie will be permanently injured. Several lads were examined, but their evidence was so conflicting, that his worship said he could not convict on it, and therefore lie must dismiss the complaint. Mr. William Earle, (T.C.) said the injured boy was an apprentice in his counting-house, and a most deserving lad he was, who attended to his business in the most creditable manner, and it Was lamentable to find that he was nearly deprived of the means of earning his bread, by the acts of vicious boys In the street. Mr. Raffles said if the case had been proVed against anyone, he would have punished the party Most severely. (Before Messrs. LAsniont and tAuta.) 13 U.) MEAT. Inspector Read summoned John Guy, butcher, James's Market, , for exposing 4921h5. of bad beef for sale. Mr. Cobb appeared for the defendant, and asked the inspector how lie knew the beef belonged to him ? He replied that Guy at first denied it was his, but when witness, seized and was ta kin g it away, the defendant said he shoiild not do so as it was his property. Mr. Cobb : And do you seize carcasses of beef in this summary way? Yes, When they are bad. How do you know it was bad? I took it to John's Market and had it examined by a jury. Mr. Cobb : What test did' you use ? My eye sight. And was it all bad? Yes, livers and lights and all. Mr. Cobb thought the defendant punished suffi ciently already, as he lost his beast, which cost him seven or eight pounds. -The magistrates fined him 10s. and costs. . CAUTION TO BOARDING -ROUSE KEEPERS. Margaret Foley, the keeper of a sailors' boarding house in Union-street, was charged by Mr. Murphy, of the Local Marine Board, under the following circum stances. It appeared that a short time ago a black sailor named Millen arrived here, and that he left £5 10s. with the defendant to keep for him. He took ill and went to the hospital, and when he came out lie demanded his money. It was refused on the ground, that he owed the defendant money, but this was totally disproved, and the Magistrates censured the conduct of the defendant, and ordered her to pay the amount, £5 103. and,los. costs, or go to jail for two months. • THREATENING A WIFE. A respectable-looking man, named JohnsWilsor, scribed as a grocer at Clubmoor, West- Derby. was charged by his wife with having threatened to kill her. Mr. Cobb was for the complainant. It appeared from his statement, and the evidence, that the parties were separated, and that some days ago the defendant went to his wife's house to demand some things, but not getting what he wanted he made use of bad threats. He was 103. and costs. CHARGE UNDER THE EMIGRATION ACT: John M-Quade, a licensed emigrant runner, was sum moned by Mr. Povey, of the •Government Emigration office, for not using his badge whilst conveying emigrants. Povey stated that the defendan t was conveYinz emi grants to a ship, and that he had not his badge exhibited at the time, as he Should have, according to act of Parliament. Mr. Ennis, a gentleman from the office of Messrs. Sabel and Searle, 'said the defendant w a s not guilty of any breach of the law. There were some emigrants going from his office to the steam-tug at the landing-stame; but as they did not know the way, and as the defendant was going in that direction, he asked him to take them, which he, did without fee or reward of any kind. This being the case, the complaint was dismissed. _ A PUN Fon Poor. CREATURES. ,--Tbe partisans of the Pope and other tyrants of Italy eall Garibaldi a filibuster.

There were four plans which must take `There were two prizes of £5O each for the best , platis far piers for New Brighton and Egremont, and two prizes' for the second best. There were in all fourteen plans before the board; and he suggested that each member should. best such as he considered the most suitable and best. He entered at great length into the merits Of the, plan numbered 3, bearing the s'ignature or motto of `t-PraetiCal..nd cunttastin it With others sent in, especially` to,l'oiable . Stages, Which he said Were uncertain in added ; eciso inrOVed of the rafts by bad. weather, tides, and collisicils, to:great and expensive wear and tear, and ann oyi n g pedestilana more especially ladies, from the fact that the planks on( the footpath were necessarily some distance apart. 'He considered that although it would cost in the outlay double the amount of some of the plans received (No. 6), would be incomparably cheaper than the moveable or any other stages ; for,it was almost everlasting in dura bility, and eery Mitch Safer far passengers. He appre hended that it Would . Meet With oriposition front the eon ser*aters of the river in Conseqiiencef of its great projectioninto ,t ri be river. Alluding .to the Georgela landing-stage and • the WoOdSide Ferry Slip, , he stated that the encroachment oil the river amounted in all to 1,500 yards; and tOtitefided thht in the face of such a fact the Admiralty ,could not sue , cessfully refuse to sanction iK this instance an encroach ment of only 11,000 yards. Indeed he felt pretty certain that if the Admiralty were appraached in a proper spirit by the board, for the public good, they would be fairly met, and their desire would be ,o.ranted in the same manner as was that of the Hull public .on a former and similar occasion. At all events he very well 'knew that if they did not try, they conld not succeed ; if they .tried and failed to succeed, then .the Maine would rest with the Admiralty, and- the present and Mitre geteratiOns would be satisfied •that they liad.do'ne•theirfliity to the tatepavers of the town ship.

SIR HERBERT EDWARDES ON OUR INDIAN EMPIRE. • In answer to a question; The CRAIRMAN replied that the working expenditure of. the New Brighton Ferry, would, after alterations had been made, amount to something like £lO,OOO per annum. Mr. CAINE had no doubt whatever as to which plan was intrinsically the best, unless they took existing tinfortilnete cirtuntstances into consideration; the Board howe.Ver had, td deeide, he apprehended, a s t o w hi c h pltn was the nielst suitable tinder the circumstances. He went on to say that pleisslbli the Adtriiritlt): would or could not refuse to sanction the reciuired encreatlittient on the , river; still he thought that a refusal Was peresiblei if not probable.' ' • , , , _ After an explanation had been made by the Chairman, and Mr. Caine had repeated some of his alreadyenunciated opinions, Mr. HILL remarked that there were only two ways of viewing the question. They had two plans to adopt. Now, were they to adopt the best, apart from all circum stances over which the inventor had 'no control, and of *hieh lie might not be aware ; or the plan thq 'con sidered the most suitable and practicable under existing ciecurastanceS. a eoriairred in the chairman's views. NO. 1 plan *Vs ,eertainlk e the best in. the' room; but . when. they reflected that they could riot make the necessary encroachments on the rifer ih order to carry it fully into effect, he thought it shotild net bci rebeived, and certainly he should vote against it. . Some further discussion took place, and The CHAIRMAN explained that when the plans, were invited, it was undoubtedly .understood that the hest she'ald reCeire,the prize. The fact keine- established, he contended that the b'o'ard had no right Co take into con sideration any circumstances might prevent them from carrying any plan they thought Zest into effect. The board immediately determined to let the plans rest upon their eivn merits, irrespective of any other consideration, and proceeded to select the most deserVing. No. 'S was awarded the first prize of £6O ultimately ; and the following is a description of the pier according to the plan will be a raised platform or stage, sup ported bt 'strong east-iron pillars at a. distance apart, longittiditially of i2O feet ; with the space bridged with wrought iron girders, and the tcetelway' formed of planks laid upon transverse wrought-iron girders. 'The stage thus constructed is proposed to be carried out on one level about 884 feet, to terminate in. ~an enlarged rectangular space . supported by additional columns, .and provided with stairs for landing and em barking passengers at all heights of: the - tides. An ornamental lighthouse will be attached,-as-well as all other appendages proper to a landing-stage suitable for a large poinittitioni all being executed in a manner to defy the effects of time and storms. There is at Gravesend a pier on the same principle; and constructed in, nearly the same manner, which has proved satisfac . . tory. The cost is guaranteed at £18,750. The board proceeded to decide the merits of the best pier at Egremont. " Practical and Sure " had sent in a plan for competition ; it was, however, considered -clumsy in some of its details. Mr. Hill proposed that No. 14 should . be awarded the • • priZe. " Mr. Caine moved el aieedinent, in favour of No. 2, but withdrew it ultimately. . . No. 14, the only plan proposed, was endorsed with 'the noun de plume of " Old Dock Yard-man." .The CI-unix-vs explained that No. 14 plan was sub stantial, and in reality would be less liable to disturb , ante, than ordinary moveable stages. It .was feet wide, heavy, and would descend by its awn weighteVen into the sand. It would be worked by hydraulic power, and the invention bore evidence that it was the work of a really practical man. 'From the,. specification' it appeared that the pier would show a very- broad ,plece . of masonry, being 60 feet wide, formed into a regular gradient of 1 in 22, and carried down to's 'distance sea ward that will admit a steamer to, "come "to" at '(low water) 21 feet tides. Upon the slips , will be laid three lines of rails. The moveable stage will con sist chiefly of iron, It will he very heavy-300' tons altogether-225 feet long, 48 feet wide, and divided into two parallel roadways—the one for landing and the other for embarking—mounted on strong wheels and axles, and having, : a roof carried on neat columns the length of the' ntovirig stage; The sides will-be boarded, for greater peotectiottfrotu the weather. It is expected that the great breadth of the moving stage, resting, as it will do, on three points of support through out its entire length, and also its intrinsic i w e_ght, will enable it .to resist any strain ef or weather, or of mo o r ing, vessels, to which it can be exposed. Three methods of moving the stage are laid down—two of these depend on hydraulic power, the third having its power in a counter-bolancing weight fixed within a tower and well. The cost is estimated'at £15,000. The prize was unanimously awarded to the inventor. The , second prize for . the ,New Brighten Pier was awarded to the inventor of the plan bearing the no' na de plunie of " Aptus ;" and the second prize for the Ege uient Pier to Mr: Joseph Simpson, of Manchester, the inventor of the landing-stages on the Liverpool side of the Mersey. We have no space left to describe these proposed structures. There was no other public business before the board. On Wednesday evening the first lecture of the 16th course, in connection with the Young Men's Christian Association, was delivered in Exeter-hall, by Lieut.- 'Colonel Sir Herbert B. Edwardcr,f K.C.8., his subject being " Our Indian Empire."' , Mr. R. Bevan occupied the chair. cud on the platform were Sir John Lawrence, General Alexander Lawrence, Messrs. G. White, If. Tf. galtOri, 1. Corderay, itc. The hall Was crowded.' The Rot. E. Anrie4 opened the meeting with prayer. The Chairman einreeed his great pleasure in intro ducing Sir Herbert Edwardes fo' the meeting. He -was alike pious and brave, and he was thotonghly qualified - 10 address them on India. The lecturer then came forwaid, and Was loudly hpplauded. He said the unchangeableness of the, , East had passed into a proverb, but that could only apply to its social state: Politically, the East was the land of revolution. Its vast plains had invited and absorbed race after race in every age'. It had been said that the constitution of Russia was a despotism •tempered by assassination, and .it might be said that the condition of " /mica was one of conquest aggravated by change. The lEfindoos were not the aborigines of India. At a period drititig not less than a thousand years before the Chris tian era, a tall, slight,Afre•coloured race,, of the line of Japhet, came clown from Central Asia upon_ the plains of India, and drove out the small am/ swarthy descendants of Shem, giving,thus early a striking fulfilment of the 'Scriptural prophecy, "That God shall enlarge Japhet, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shwa." . It was also a striking circumstance that.the Hindoos and their European conquerors were of the same race. • it was truly wonderful that this enormous empire .should be ruled by a handful of white men, and that the people of these small islands should have transferred the empire of so vast a continent from the banks of the Ganges to the banks of the Thames. "(Cheers.) After sketching at sonic length the early history of European enterprise in India, the lecturer observed that it seemed strange fd as; in days when even Italy was free, that even in the fifteenth' century England was not at liberty to . send ships round the - C?pe of Good Hope: The Pope in a bull took upon himself to draw a line round the world, and to- declare that all on one side should belong to the King of Portugal, and all on the other — to the .Bing of Spain: (Laughter.) This line . wai broken through by the enterprise of our Elizabe than navigators, but in •the first instance We had no idea of conquest; we only went to India to trade. The lecturer then traced minutely the offorts of ;the English to establish themselves in India, remark ing that even at that period we should not have sought empire there if we had been allowed 'to trade in peace. Great credit was due to Dupleix and Le Bour donnais for having conceived the idea of building up a European empire in India, though they had sought to obtain power and dominion for France. But a man was now to- appear - on the scene whose patriotism was equal to that of the Frenchmen, and who was superior to them both in military genius----lae meant Clive. After dilating on the history of Clive, the lecturer dwelt on the contrast between our first small adventures in trading to India, and the great empire now under our axle: He could not say that all that had been done left no stain on our name. Things had been done on which truth laid her reproving finger and cried " Shame, shame," but on the whole we had not got India by design or policy; it was not the thing we coveted, but was forced upon us against our will, .and in opposition to the declared policy of every government. It was said that we had • done little in the way of public works, owing to the constant cost of exhausting wars. But we really had done a great deal. After enumerating the public works we had erected, and showing how much had been done by private enterprise in constructing trunk roads and railways, he. went on to argue that the great error of our policy had been the withiolding, of the Bible. The Indians imagined that if Christianity were true we should give them the knowledge of it. Our system of, education .tnade many deists and infidels, but ha doubted if it bad made one Christian. Clive, with all his faults, was wiser and more Christian than his suc cessors, for like Sir John Lawrence; another, great man, he was guided .by our conscience, and not by , the Indian conscience, and lie welcomed the missiona ries. On- the whole we had done much good, and abOlished much evil, though he mmt own with sorrow that we had omitted much. Notwithstanding all oh •stacles there were now in India from 150,000 to 200,000 Protestant Christian's. The Bible had - been printed in .many dialects, and a Christian literature had been established. The native churches had been so far orga nised as to be capable of self support to a great extent. Havinz'dilated on' the advantages of the upright admi nistration of the law and the civiliiing influence of rail ways, he proceeded to consider the question—" What is to come of it ?" India could only be kept by a wil ling, a prosperous, and continuous submission ; .and to secure this. result he argued at great length and with much earnestness that we must develop Christianity amongst the,people. While they were contented under our rule, no foreign power could take the empire from us. It might yet be suggested by those who reduced everYthing to a matter of trade, that we' ought to abandon India as a concern that did not pay, to look after our own affairs, and leave the Indians to do the same, telling them that if they wanted any broad cloths, Sheffield cutlery, or pale ale, we should be happy to 'supply them on the lowest terms, and take indigo and cotton in return. (Much laughter.) The 'English people would never consent thus to turn their back on God's heritage. There was another way in which we might give India up. He trusted. a feeling would arise that we must fit India for ,freedom, and then set India free ' • but until Christianised India was unfit for f ree d o m. When Christianised, she would be unfit for slavery. As we now cried out Italy for the Italians, we would then cry with a louder voice, India for the Indians. This •he believed was what God meant we should do with India. God grant that we might do it, and do it well. (Great applause.) The chairman conveyed the thanks of the meeting. to Sir H. Edwardes, and the proceedings closed with the doxology. . , . Lord John Manners has left town for. Hnghenden Manor, on a visit to the Right Hon. B. Disraeli.
