IN RE WILLIAM LAWFORD.-The bankrupt came up Ibis day on his adjourned last examination. He wes supported by Mr. Evans, and Mr. Dodge and Mr. E. Banner appeared for the assignees. The bankrupt was examined at considerable length by Mr. Dodge. He said-I commenced business in Liverpool in the beginning of the year 1852, with Mr. Hesketh, who was then under, age. I had a very small amount of capital in cash (£65 8s 1d), about £250 in furniture and plate, and £5O worth of tenants' fixtures in a house in London. On commencing business in Liverpool, the Rev. Mr. Hesketh agreed to advance £1,250 for his son, and my father agreed to advance a similar sum to me. My father advanced me money, from time to time, to the amount in all of £4,055 11s 10d, but he received on my account, from time to time, £3,250, in this manner :- In April, 1852, I insured my life in £2,500 with the United Kingdom Insurance Company. I borrowed £1,250 from the company, and deposited the policy as my security, and my father and my uncle also became security for the repayment of the loan. In July follow ing, I insured my life with the same company for £l,OOO, and I also insured my brother's life for £l,OOO. On a deposit of the two policies, and the security of my father and uncle, the company advanced me £l,OOO. 1 insured my life in the Family Endowment Society in April, 1853, in £2,000, and I borrowed £l,OOO froM that society on the deposit of that polio;, and the security of my father and my unc l e as before. Ail these sums my father received ; the £1,260 and £l,OOO from the United Kingdom society, and £l,OOO from the Family Endow ment Society, and out of these monies he made me various advances. It appears from my books, and to the best of my recollection it is so, that my father advanced me £BO5 lis 10d beyond the sums which he received on my account. The Rev. Mr. Hesketh advanced altogether £4,750. He bad the joint hOnd of myself and my father for the last £2,000, and my father and myself also gave him a bond for £5OO, which he advanced on the 20th of November, 1853. I repaid to Mr. Hesketh £l,OOO, in sums of £5OO, £3OO, and £200; they were paid to Mr. Hesketh before the Ist of January, 1855. In the year 1853, I borrorrcd .C 1,600 from Mr. A.moca, of Bristol, I gave him, as security, an agreethent to execute a mortgage of the lease, building, and Machinery in Norfolk-street. Mr. John Yate Lee, the owner of the property, granted me the lease of the premises for 7, 14, or 21 years, at the option of the te na nt. I wro t e to Ames, to know if he would lend me the money, and Mr. John Yate Lee also wrote to him. Mr. Lee prepared the memorandum of security to Mr. Ames. Mr. Lee is my brother-in-law ; he married my sister. The £1,500 i s still owing, and Mr. Ames still holds the document I gave him. I have in my balance sheet valued the secu rity held by Mr. Ames at £l,OOO. I paid the first year's interest to Mr. Ames. I have not paid any since. In Nov., 1853, I borrowed £5OO from Mr. Joseph Lee, of Whitchurch, but that I repaid before the Ist January, 1855. I carried on business in Norfolk.street up to the 31st December, 1854. At the close of the first year, in 1853, a balance sheet of the Norfolk-street business was prepared; it was made up to the 31st December, 1852. It showed a loss of about £BOO in the first year's busi• ness. Another balance sheet was made on the 30th June, 1853, and the gains were £447 8s Gd. The next balance sheet was made up to the 31st December, 1853, and there was a loss of £630 3s. By my balance sheet I find that my trade expenses and losses, and depreciation of machinery, after deducting the gross profits of the busi ness, amount to £3,542 14s Id ; and, in addition to that, there is to be added the money for my own support. On the 31st December, 1854, I was indebted as follows : -To Rev. Mr. Hesketh, £2,000; and a further sum of £1,750 was paid into the Norfok-street concern by the Rev. Mr. Hesketh, to be a portion of his son's capital when he became of age, agreeably to the written agree ment between myself and the Rev. Mr. Hesketh ; to Mr. Ames, £1,500, being the sum at Which I state the present value of the machinery, tec., £l,OOO (the machinery and buildings cost me £2,154 is 7d); to the Family Endow ment Society, £l,OOO, and some small sums for interest and rates, amounting in all to about £130; and £BO5 advanced by my father. My assets on the 31st December, 1854, applicable to the payment of these debts, consisted of money in hand to the extent of £l,OOO, my furniture to the value of £5OO, my fixtures in London, worth £5O, and good, bad, and doubtful debts, to the amount of £925 3s ld. After paying the trade debts due in respect of Norfolk-street, I had a balance left in cash of £328 15s 10d ; and there are still owing to me in re spect of Norfolk street. £49 19s 21 in good debts, £565 4s 7d in doubtful debts, and £309 19s 41 in bad debts. I had also a life interest in a sum of £l,OOO, under a settlement from the late Mrs. Swinburne. Mr. John Yate Lee prepared the agreement between myself and the Rev. Mr. Itesketh. It was sub mitted to my father for perusal on my behalf, and to the Rev. Mr. Hesketh, who might, or might not, have had the assistance of a solicitor-I don't know. Mr. Lee knew that I was indebted to Mr. Hesketh, Mr. Ames, and the Family Endowment Society, and that my father had advanced the money. He knew that on the 31st December, 1854, and long previously to that tithe. I knew Mr. Joshua Vernay Levett Lace about two years. Towards 1854, Mr. Lace and myself entered into a negociation for a partnership, and we negociated together with Higgin, Chippendale, and Co., for the purchase of their machinery and work*, in Kent-street, Liverpool. We were to take the works, and pay £5,500 for them, including the good-will of the business. We were to pay £4,000 in cash, and the remainder in six equal bills, three months apart from each other, with interest. Mr. Lace and myself concluded that agreement in December, 1854, and executed afterwards a partnership on or about the Ist January, 1855. Mr. Lace was to bring in £3,000 then, and a further £l,OOO, on the Ist July following. He did bring the £3,000, and the £l,OOO. I was to take in a similar amount of £4,000, to be paid in the same way. I paid in the £3,000, and the £l,OOO. I got the money thus : -£l,OOO I carried over from Norfolk street; Mr. John Yate Lee lent me £l,OOO, Messrs. Philip and Edward Cazenove lent me £250 each, and I borrowed £5OO from Miss Jane C. Lee, on the security of my interest under Mrs. Swinburne's settlement. The £l,OOO from Mr. Lee was secured on my promissory note, having interest at 74 per cent. I forget how the note was payable, whether or demand or eighteen months' after date. When Mr. Lee lent me the money, I understood he would never sue me for it-he told me he would never sue me for it. Whilst I was negotiating with Mr. Lace, I wrote to Mr. Ames to know whether he would give up his then security, and take a second security over some machinery I was then in treaty for, such machinery being that of Kent-street, I believe the letter written to Mr. Ames was shown to Mr. Lee, as I generally con sulted him on business matters. I understood that Mr. Ames had gives up his security-his letters implied as much. Two or three letters passed between us ; they were all, I believe, seen by Mr. John Yate Lee. I neve r offered him any other security, or prosecuted the matter further, after the letter I have mentioned that I wrote to him. I paid in the remainder of my capital, £l,OOO, on the 23rd June, 1855. I got the money from Mr. John Yate Lee ; he advanced it to me. I gave him no promissory note or other security for the money. There was no arrangement as to the rate of interest. I wish to explain that my belief is, that there is no rate of interest stated on the promissory note given to Mr. Lee on the Ist January, 1855. There was an agreement between us, and in the agreement it was stated that he was to have interest at the rate of 7; per cent. in any event, and an additional 5 per cent. if the business proved profitable. Mr. Lace wished to retire from the business in July or August, 1855, and it was agreed between us that he should go out on the 29th September following. I was to pay him £l,OOO on the 29th Sept. ; on the 31st October another sum of £l,OOO, and the remainder of his capital was to be paid as follows :- £l,OOO the 31st December, 1856, and £l,OOO the 31st December, 1857. There was an agreement to that effect entered into between us, the original of which is now in the hands of Lace and Co., solicitors. An advertisement of the dissolution of partnership appeared in the Gazette on the Bth or 10th of November last. I did not pay Mr. Lace £l,OOO on the 29th September, nor the £l,OOO on the 31st October. On the 19th January, 1856, I paid him £1,500 ; on the 21st of the same month £2OO, and on the 22nd, £3OO. I got the £1,500 paid on the 19th of January as follows :-£l,OOO from my bankers, Moss and Co. ; £5OO, which I borrowed from Mr. James Cazenove, and for which Mr. John Yate Lee gave him a guarantee, and I gave Mr. Lee linseed cake as security. I repaid the money in the course of a few days, and took away the security. I got the £3OO from my bankers, and the £2OO was the money received in the course of my busi ness. Mr. James Cazenove is my father in law. Have paid Mr. Lee interest, but I do not know the amount. On the 19th of January, 1856, and after having taken out the £l,OOO for Mr. Lace on that day, I had overdrawn my account in £1,157 6s Ild, and on the 22nd of January, after taking out the £3OO, I had overdrawn £496 Gs 11d. Mr. John Yate Lee had about that time become guarantee for me with Messrs. Moss and Co. to the extent of £5OO. Mr. Dodge said that he purposed taking the examination no further that day, but before concluding he should state to his Honour that, in the preparation of the balance sheet, and the investigation of the very difficult accounts connected with the case, the bankrupt had given every possible assistance, and in an open and candid manner ; he seemed to have no wish to conceal anything. The examination was then further adjourned.

Price 4s, COUNTY COURT.-YESTERDAT. (BEFonn JOSEPH PoLLoOrc, ESQ., JUDGE.) This Was the opening day ot the first October could: INSOLVENCIES.—The adjourned petition Of Charles J. Dillman, formerly keeper of the German Emigrants' Home, Moorfields, canie on for hearing again. Mr. Daggers appeared for the insolvent, and Mr. Aspinall for the detaining creditor. Mr. Falcon, of the firm of Falcon and Harvey, attended on behalf of Messrs. Sabel and Cortis, to disclaim, on the part of his clients, the connection with the insolvents' affairs, which had been imputed to them: Mr. Daggers contended that his client had been made the victim of a vindictive persecution. Mr. Aspinall having addressed the court on behalf of the detaining creditor, his Honour said, the examina tion of the insolvent had been protracted to a consider able length, and not improperly, for the plain reason that he was a man who had been formerly in the service of Messrs. Sabel and Cdrtis, and had succeeded to their business, and finally transferred the property back again to them. Naturally enough, some suspicion had arisen under the circumstances, and some investigation was made as to the character of the connection subsisting between the parties. In addition to this, the man him self seemed to be utterly ignorant of the mode of keep ing books, and gave a very confused explanation of all his transactions. These circumstances led very naturally and properly to a protracted enquiry. Messrs. Sabel and Cortis appeared, arid nothing could have been mdre properly given than their evidence. Mr. Sabel gave his evidence exceedingly well himself • and the clerk who was called, and who was evidently a very respectable man, gave his evidence with great clearness, great accu racy, and, so far as his Honour could see, showed no desire or disposition whatever to conceal any part of the transactions. Therefore, nothing which had occurred could be held to int'olve anything whatever disrespectable so far as Messrs. Sabel and Cortis were concerned. But it was right that some explanation should be given, and his Honour thought the explanation was, that at the time the insolvent took the concern, he might have made a good business of it; but, as they all knew in Liver pool, shortly after that time the tide of German emigra tion from Liverpool stopped, or, at least, a very great cessation took place in the number of persons vilio had recourse to that pert from Germany, especially to mill, grate. Mr. Dillmau fvlt into dall..aeoq., and then Messrs. Sabel and Cortis made use of the power they possessed, to secure their own interests. His Honour was unable to discover that any really valid ground had been urged against insolvent. In point of fact, that the insolvent did owe the money, and, therefore, necessarily came for protection to that court. He could not dis cover anything against him. He should, therefore, direct the insolvent to be discharged within four months from the date of his vesting order, which amounted, in fact, to discharging him forthwith. Marcus Meakin, a pig dealer, living in Plumb-street, came up for his final order. The insolvent was supported by Mr. Daggers, and opposed by Mr. Hime, who appeared for one creditor. The insolvent's debts amounts to £l,OOO, of which £BOO were secured on some freehold land, leaving £2OO insecured, from which he claimed to be released. In March last, he had property sufficient to pay all his creditors, but he conveyed £2OO over to a nephew, as lie stated for money own. The insolvent arid the nephew were examined at considerable length touching this debt, the result of which was, that the court came to the conclusion that not one farthing was own. Mr. Hime, for the creditors, asked that the petition might be dismissed, on the grounds that the insolvent had attempted to defraud the creditors, and that he might be imprisoned for three years. Mr. Daggers, while admitting th a t h e h a d a very b a d case to defend, spoke in mitigation of the punishment. His Honour, after animadverting on the conduct of the insolvent, dismissed the petition, and ordered him to be imprisoned for eighteen months. William Allen, relieving-officer of West Derby, re quested to have a portion of the former order of the court rescinded, and that he should be allowed to pay £33 per annum in liquidation of his debts, and not £55. As the insolvent had not complied with the former order of the court, the case was adjourned for a week. The cases of Thomas Williams, and Frederick Middle ton, were also postponed until the January court, under somewhat similar circumstances. George Wilde obtained his final order without oppo sition. POLICE INTELLICi-ENCE LIVERPOOL. BEFORE MR. ALDERMAN TURNER, SHOPLIFTING.--Anne Davis, a well-dressed woman, well known to the police, was charged by Mr. Edward Marks, tailor, Whitechapel, with having stolen a piece of cloth from his shop. The prisoner, along with a man, entered the shop of complainant and wanted to purchase a pair of trousers, and, whilst in the shop, he saw the woman put a piece of cloth under her dress, and his wife at once seized her and took the property from her. She was fully committed for trial. VIOLENT ASSAULT, AND ATTEMPTED STREET ROBB ERY. Thomas Allan, a lame young man, was charged with having violently assaulted, and attempted to rob William Johnston, in Whitechapel. The prosecutor said he was in a public-house in Whitechapel, when he was accosted by the prisoner and another person, who asked him for drink; he refused to give them any, and went out. The prisoner followed him into the street and put his hand into his pocket, when he resisted. The prisoner then struck him a violent blow on the forehead with a stick, which stunned him, and then the prisoner was arrested by an officer who saw him strike the blow. The prisoner was committed for trial. GAROTTE ROBBERY.—John Garnett, and James John• ston, who had been remanded on a charge with having garotted and robbed Robert Smith, a shoemaker, near Edge-hill, on the night of the 28th Sept, were brought up for final examination. Mr. Block appeared for the prisoners. The full details of this case appeared a few days ago, and were the same as given yesterday. The prisoner Garnett was fully identified, but the prosecutor was not quite so sure of Johnston, but he was morally convinced that he was the man. Mr. Block contended that Garnett should be discharged, and argued that the other prisonerought to be dealt with in a summary manner. The Alderman sent both prisoners for trial, but consented to take two sureties of £25 each for Johnston's appear ance at the assizes. _ _ ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Robert Dolby was brought up on remand. Mr. Bluck defended. The details of the case were published two or three day s ago. The facts were these:—ln December last the stores of Messrs. Benson and Co., Williamson street, were broken into, and, amongst other things stolen, were some coats belonging to the clerks. These garments were given by the prisoner to a man, and then the pri soner absconded and went abroad. He returned a few days ago, and made a desperate attempt to kill himself, by inflicting a serious wound with a dagger in his side. He was committed for trial. DISHONESTY.—Peter Sloane, who had been employed at the Albert Dock, was charged with stealing some rice and sugar. Mr."Cowan, the superintendent of the ware. houses, said the man had been employed there for three years, and there never was any suspicion of him before. His conduct was always satisfactory. Mr. Wybergh said, the Rev. Mr. Stewart, of West Derby, had called to give the prisoner a good character for ten years. He was obliged to go away, but requested him (Mr. W.) to mention the fact. Mr. Cowan said the man would lose his situation, and perhaps the Magistrate would consider that sufficient punishment. The prisoner was strongly cautioned and discharged. THE BOTTOMLESS PunsE.—Ellen Vaughan, a well dressed young woman, with a pair of ear rings, appa rently about a quarter of a pound each, was charged with having stolen £6 from a sailor. There was much laughter caused by the cross-examination of the witness, by Mr..Bluck, to whom the witness said, he had the money in a bottomless purse. This novel bag for holding gold turned out to be, on closer examination, nothing more nor less than the complainant's stocking, where he said he deposited it, so that Old Nick himself could not find it. It appeared, however, that the young lady pos sessed a keener knowledge of the " tin" than either the owner or the ancient gentleman alluded to. Mr. Bluck contended the prisoner ought to be discharged, and discharged she was, accordingly, amid loud laughter. BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD. "THE KNlFE."—Knives appear to have turned from the uses for which they were intended, for not a day passes that we have not to record some stabbing case. There were four cases of this kind brought before Mr. Mansfield yesterday, and amongst these a woman, named Mary Anne Moss, who resides in Devon-street, charged another woman, named Betsey Spencer, with having stabbed her in the jaw with a knife. The prisoner wanted complainant to give her some drink, but she refused, and the prisoner flew at her with a knife, and struck her two or three blows of it in the jaw, inflicting serious wounds. The prisoner was sent for trial, as were all the other persons charged with like offences. BEFORE MESSRS. TURNER (ALDERMAN) AND T. 11)I.TON; ASSAULTS.—Mrs. Jane Nelson summoned Mrs Owens for having assaulted her. Mr. Bluck was for the prosecution. The complainant, it was alleged, had been so badly Heated by the defendant that she was pre maturely confined. The defendant was sent . to gaol for fourteen days, in default of paying a tine of 10s.— William MlKenna was charged with having assaulted Anne M'Carthy. Dom the evidence of complainant, it appeared that the defendant accused her of sending the police to his " jcrry shop " to catch him violating the law, and she said after that, he came and violated the law on her by giving her an "awful licking," at the same time swearing he would "break skulls, scatter brains, s pill blood, and commit other depredations." (Loud laughter.) In reply to Mr. Black, who defended, the woman admitted that she had " violated the law " herself by selling whiskey without a license, and that she had suffered three months' imprisonment for it. The defendant was fined 68 and costs for the assault, THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL I VMDNESDAY. THE LATE COLLISION BETWEEN THE FALCON AND THE IMOGENE.-130ARD OF TRADE ENQUIRY, YESTERDAY. An official enquiry into the cause of the late collision, which took place in the channel, between the Steamer Falcon and the brig Iniogene;. opened yesterday, by the direction of the Board of Trade. The enquiry was held in the Sheriff's-court, St. George's-hall, at two o'clock, haat.° Mr. Mansfield, stipendiary magistrate, and Captain Schomherg. Mr. Tyndal, solicitor, represented the Board of 't i rade. 4r. Aspinall appeared on behalf of the Falcon. Mr. Blair repre sented the owners of the Imogene. Mr. Tyndal said this was rin enquiry into the caused of the collision which took place between the screw -steamer Falcon, belonging to the Cork Steam-ship Company, and the brig Imogene, belonging to Messrs. C. 1). Bowring and Co., of this port, by which collision the Imogene was sunk in the channel, on the morning of the 21st September. The only preliminary arrangements to be made was the order in which the witnesses were to be taken. Mr. Blair suggested that the most convenient course would be to open with the witnesses who were on board the Imogene at the time of the occurrence. Mr. Aspinall assented to this arrangement, and, accordingly, the mate of the Imogene was the first witness called. Joseph Derritt, first mate on board the Imogene, examined by Mr. Tyndal : Deposed that the vessel left Liverpool on the morning of September 20, bound for Pernambuco. She had seventeen in crew, and seven passengers. At midnight of the 20th, witness commanded the port natch, consisting of six with himself. It was a beautiful clear night. The wind was from the westward veering to south-west. Tiii3 ship was heading south by west. She was then near the South Stack tight. When witness came on deck the captain went below. Beforo going below, the captain told witness if it came on cloudy to take in the light sails, and to call pith if she broke off to the eastward of south. Continued that course until a,betit one o'clock, when it came on a little cloudy. A little before two o'clock she broke off to the south east. Witness called the captain. Had taken in the sails according to his orders when it came on cloudy. The wind changed about two o'clock to west southwest. The captain came on deck, and all hands were called to put the ship about. The ship was put about, and after that she made north west with her port tacks on board. She was overhauled. She was making about four knots. About a quarter to three saw a steamboat coming up the channel. The weather *as then clear, arid the Water berj , smooth. ni; 5 1.4 1...1t n“lipsi at Saw her masthead light and:her starboard light. She had her square topsail and squaresail set. Witness ordered the signal lamp to be held out and hung in the rigging. The orders were obeyed. It was a bright light, and burning well. The ship was still on the same tack. Was expecting to see the steamer's port light. Thought the steamer would have passed under their stern. The steamer continued to near. Hailed her, saying, " Stop ytiur engines, or you'll be on board of us." She did not alter her course'at all, or stop her engines. He then felt that a collision was inevitable. Told the Imogene's steersman to put the helm hard a-port, and ran aft to see it done. Saw the order executed."' Ran to call Captain Williams, whom he found coming up the companion. The tollisibn then took place. The forerigging of the Imogene caught the rigging of the steamer, and the former struck the latter on the port bow. The Imogene lost her bowsprit and anchor, which were swept away as if by a flash of lightning. Captain Williams called out to the steamer for mercy's sake to stop her engines, as his Vessel Was foundering, The steamer was nearly a mile away, before they could perceive any stoppage. She did not stop on striking them, but went right past. She put out +oat for them after. While she was rounding to, Captain Williams had got his boats out ; and put his passengers on board them. There was water in the fore compartment of the Imogene, which began to fill in rapidly. Captain Williams told the party who came in the boat, that if they would send a hawser the steamer could, perhaps, tow them into Holyhead. The boat returned to the steamer and came back, but did not bring a hawser. In the meantime, they had got ready a hawser of their own in the Imogene, but they did not attempt to send it to the steamer, as the vessel was sinking too fast. Captain Williams and witness remained with the vessel until she went down, they then went on board the steamer. The *lain of the Falcon started his engines when one of the boats was close to the screw, and tho boat nearly foundered. Captain Wil liams called out for God's sake not to cause his boat to founder; the engines were then stopped. There were five moo in the boat who were then got out. The captain of the Falcon had refused before to tow the boats. There were a few things saved from the Imogene, but no one on board the Falcon lent a hand to save them. To Mr. Aspinall : The Imogene was heading north-west before her helm was ported, and she might have gone two pointa in answer to the port; At that time witness had seen the green light of the steamer. Saw it all along without any alteration. The steamer might be a couple of ship's lengths off when he had his helm put up. If she had stopped her engine, then the collision might have been saved. The green light was abreast of the Imogene's main rigging. Between the time of his helm being put up and the collision, not more than a couple of minutes could have elapsed. Never saw the steamer's red light at any time. The steamer was struck by the bow of the Imogene in a slanting direction, When Captain Williams called out to the captain of the steamer to stop his engines, as the boat was foundering, the engines were stopped, and the five men who were in the boat were got out, and the boat allowed to go adrift, To Mr. (hair : The steamer ought to haN;e seen the Imogene before the Imogene saw the steamer. Tho Imogene's light was put i❑ the rigging in an instant, and was there about twelve minutes. If a proper look-out had been kept on board the steamer she must have observed the bearing of the brie. Twd spokes of the steamers wheel would have been sufficient to clear them when first the vessel's light was hung out. Tho witness then described minutely, in answer to the questions of Captain Schoenberg, the manner in which the vessels struck each other. James Carroll, the man who placed the lamp in the main rigging by the directions of the mate, was examined by Mr. Tyndal. Deposed that he held the light from the time he got the order until the collision took place. It was burning all the time. It was a large signal lamp, and did not require trimming during the time be held it. William Williams, master of the Imogene, examined by Mr. Tyndal, deposed that he was called up for the second time on the morning in question. Having lain down in his clothes he came on deck at once, and found that water was coming in at the forecastle in consequence of the collision which had just taken place. Ho called out to the steamer not to leave them as he feared the vessel would founder. Did not hear any reply, nor did the steamer stop at that time. The passengers had come on deck, and were calling out to him for God's sake to save them in the boats. The boats were got out, and witness took the female passenger in his arms and conveyed I her to one boat, and told the male passengers to follow her. He told the men to row the boat to the steamer, and come back as soon as possible. A boat from the steamer came shortly after, in charge of a gentleman, whom witness afterwards was informed was the harbour -master of Queenstown. Witness sounded the pumps iu his presence, and said, " You see there is no water in this main compartment (the ship was built in compartments), and if you aro smart enough in sending us a hawser you can tow her to Holyhead." The boat went away, and came back again just as the Imogene was sinking. The same party was not in charge of her, and she did not bring a hawser. Witness did not leave the ship until another boat came from the steamer. Before this came, the mate and he had got a hawser (their principal hawser having snapped as they were crossing the bar coming out), but the vessel was settling down so fast that it was then too late to have her towed. Before leaving the ship witness called out— "ls every man in the boat ?" and the answer was given, « yes ." He then dropp e d fro m the wizen chains into the boat, and ordered her to pull towards the Falcon. When he got on the Falcon's deck he saw his vessel go down. He found then that the men were still in the boat which had left the Imogene before the boat in which he left. At his urgent request ropes were thrown to those men, and they were hauled on board the Falcon. To Mr. Aspinall : Was not on deck when the collision actually took place, and did not see how the vessels struck. Re-examined by Mr. Tyndal : On the Sunday morning witness asked the captain of the Falcon why he had made such a blunder as to run the vessl down on so clear a morning ? The captain asked why did not the Imogene's mate luff Witness said he did quite right to port the helm ; the captain said Then wo shall see which was right." To Mr. Blair : Tho moon was shining between light westerly clouds, and the horizon very clear, at the time of the collision. Should say a person looking out of the steamer could see his vessel at a distance of 2i or three miles. To Captain Schomberg : Should think full an hour must have elapsed from the time he asked for the hawser until the boat came back. The examination of other witnesses was proceeding up to the adjournment of the court, which took place about five o'clock. APPALLNG TRAGEDY IN GALWAY.—The Vindicator of Galway contains the following dreadful narrative of the death of two children and suicide of their mother : Rumours of a most appalling catastrophe have reached us this morning, involving the death of three individuals (a mother and two children) at a place situated between Ballinrobe and Hollymount. It appears that the wife of a farmer, named Magrath, had been preparing to make butter, and had some boiling water in readiness for the purpose of ri ns i ng an d sca ldi ng t h e churn. Two ch i ldren i were n the house at the time, an infant and a child a few years older, whom, having occasion for a short absence, she left playing together. While playing round the churn, as 15 supposed, owing to some unfortunate casualty, the elder child furc,ed the younger into the churn. The poor moth er shortly a ft erwar d s returned, an d , unconscious of what had occurred, poured the boiling water in the churn, thereby scalding the wretched infant, whose stifling screams only announced its horrible death. Urged to desperation and agony on beholding the effects of her act, the frantic mother seized on some implement of destruction (a footstool, accord ing to one account), and hurling it at the other child, who had been the innocent cause of the shocking casualty, caused its death also, and then rushing to a stream close at hand, she flung herself into the water, and met the fate she rashly invited. The dreadful occurrence has caused great excite mentglyi eif i of t o t a p ff a a r i t r o . f the country, and many versions are BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS The usual monthly meeting of the members of this corpora tion was held at the public offices, Hamilton square, last evening —Mr. J. Laird ptdsided. The other commissioners present were—Messrs. M'Whirtet, Bayliss, Rae, Goulborne, Bailiff, Willoughby. Harrison, Meakin, Park, Cooke, Keight ley, Bell, Gough, Verelist, Aspinall, Bradley, McDonald, and Hind. The Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting, which Were confirmed. THE LIVERPOOL APPROACHES TO THE MERSEY, The Chairman said : At the last meeting of the ferry com mittee, Mr. Harrison and myself were requested to meet the Liverpool corporation relative to the approaches to the landing stage. Mr. Harrison has, unfortunately, been out of town, bnt, during his absence, the Great Western Railway, the Cheshire Junction, the Vallasey Commissioners, and myself have met some of the corporation, and, with your permission, I will ask the secretary to read what has been done on that important subject. The Secretary then read the correspondence which had taken place on the subject. The Chairman : I hope we shall have another meeting soon, in a few days, when something will result which will be bene ficial for both sides of the water. (Hear, hear.) LIGHTING AND WATCHING COMMITTEE The proceedings of this committee were read and confirmed. THE MARKE't COM➢{ITTEE-TFIE WINN-CORKAILL DISFUTE. Tho proceedings of this committee stated that they had re considered the subject of ejecting Mr. Cork hill from his stall in the market, and, after duly considering the subject, had come to the same resolution as they had done on the previous occasion, and hoped that the board would confirm the recom mendation of the committee. Mr. M‘Whirter moved the confirmation of the proceedings, and, in doing so, said the subject of Mr. Corkhill bad received great attention from the comulittc:" ; and that they acted only with a view of doing justice to the paraes in making the recornmendation they had come to. , Mr. Goulborne moved, as an amendment, that all the plc ceedings be confirmed, except that part Nyhich related to the dismissal of Mr. Corkhill. Mr. Willoughby seconded the amendment. Mr. Bradley supported the recommendation of the com mittee, and, in doing so, said they did not ask Mr. Corkhill to leave the market, hut to move about nine feet lower down, then he and hfr. Winn, the only two persons of the same trade in Birkenhead, would occupy two shops each, side by siae, ana enjoy tiro alttluoPblT of that portion of thp market. Mr. Bayliss supported the ationdinent. .... Mr. Bailiff saik with a 'HOW of rescuing the committee from tho dilemma they had got in, and goring that none of the parties could agree, moved that Mr. Corlthill and Mr. Winn should both have notice to quit their shops—that they should be divided, and then that they should bo let by tender. Mr. Gough, Mr. Rae, and Mr. Hind, supported the recom mendation of the committee. Mr, Gough The whole of the committee are unanimous, except Mr. Bailiff. The Chairman thonzht the best way to Forced was to adopt the suggestion of Mr. Bailiff. Mr. Keightley seconded Mr. Bailiff's amendment. The discussion on this subject occupied a considerable time, and, after it bad been brought to a conclusion, amidst loud cries of " Chair, chair," and " Spoke, spoke," several members wishing to protract the proceedings by making second and even third speeches, the board divided, when there appeared—for Mr. Bailiff's amendment 5, against it 7 : for Mr. Goulborne's amendment 0, against it 9. The original motion was then put io the Meeting and declared carried. THE HEALTH C)MMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were of no interest. It was reported that during the last three months the number of deaths had been 166, of which 147 were from zymotic diseases, and 13 from accidents. The proceedings were confirmed. THE ROAD AND IMPROVEMENT C)MMITTEE. The proceedings recommended the appointment of Mr. Mills, as building and road surveyor, at a salary of £350 per annum, he to retain some of his present engagements. Mr. Hind moved the confirmation of the proceedings. Mr. Bayliss did not object to the appointment of Mr. Mills, but wished to know why the salary had been fixed at £350, exactly double what was paid to the late surveyor? Mr. Aspinall expressed a hope that Mr. Bayliss would make himself acquainted with the facts of a case before he spoke at that board. The fact was the late surveyor was only a road surveyor. Mr. Bradley supported the recommendation, observing that he would havo supported Mr. Mills if they were to give him £BOO per annum, he being one of the best men that cou:d be selected. Mr. Goulborno stated that the expense of the surveyors had been £4OO last year. All tho commissioners concurred in the appointment. Mr. Rae directed the attention of the committee to the uncovered state 'of the railways throughout the town. It was a great wonder that some fearful accident had not occurred before this, and it would not be permitted in any other town in England. He hoped the committee would consider the subject at their earliest convenience. The proceedings were then unanimously confirmed. THE VERET COMMITTEE. The committee recommended that the tender far coals, of Messrs. Conwall and Thompson, of St. Helens, be accepted. That on and after the let of January that separate contracts be entered into at Woodside and Monkeferry, and that persons be not allowed to make them available for each other. It sug gested a new scale of payment for that period with a viow of doing away with short contracts. The following were the receipts for September, 1855, £2,347 3s 3d, and for 1850 they were £2,350 12s Id. Tho receipts from the 24th of April to the 30th of September, in 1855, were £13,269 19e 9d, and for 1850 they were £13,655 3s 2d. The expenditure, including rent, &c., from the 24th of April to the 30th of Sept., in 1855, were £9,827 Os 2d, and for 1856, they were £8,554 3s. sd. Mr. Harrison moved the confirmation of the procceedings. Mr. Willoughby slid that a aub•committoe had been appointed with regard to the falling off of the traffic, and suggested that the fact was that a great many goods were brought over by the Bridgewater trust, and he thought it was quite time that that subject should be discussed. Mr. Harrison : That subject will bo brought before the committee. Mr. Bailiff lid not agree with the alterations of the scale of charges at the ferry, because he thought it would be injurious, and inflict a hardship on the working classes. Mr. Harrison would have no objection to having Monks Ferry reduced to one half-penny, exclusively for the working classes. M. Bailiff directed attention to the inconvenience the public experienced by the boats being coaled during the day time. Mr. Harrison replied that be hoped some steps would be taken to remedy that evil. The proceedings were then unanimously adopted, It being understood that the special committee would have to be called, for the purpose of discussing the alterations in the ferry charges. THE FINANCE C 1141 MITTS E. The proceedings of this committee were devoid of interest, except so far as relates to the returns moved for by Mr. Rae, at a previous meeting, when a request was made that each committee would furnish a return of their income and ex penditure, for the purpose of seeing whether any de ductions in their expenditure could not be made. On this subject the committee reported, that the finance committee beg to lay before the board a return made by the various committees of the probable expenditure for the year ending 24th of April, 1857, for maintaining the various establishments under their superintendence, together with a similar report from the ferry committee, enclosing a statement. In presenting these returns, the committee did not think it necessary to offer any remark or suggest any alteration beyond such as was needful in each case to bring the return into con formity with the printed reports of the commissioners' accoun ts. The returns show the estimate revenue and expenditure under every head of account in the current year, as compared with the year ending April last. The chief cause of the increase of expenditure is referred to. In addition to the estimated revenue and expenditure furnished by the ferry committee, they supply a report on the expenditure of the ferry for the last year. In the event of the estimates now submitted to the board being realised, the surplus applicable to the payment of interest to fundholders at the close of the present financial year, will not exceed—from the township's rates, £9lB 13s 81; from the ferry, £2,578 5s 4d ; making £3,496 19s. The Secretary read the abstract and returns, which were appended to the report. . - Mr. Keightley Moved, and Mr. Rao seconded, the adoption of the report. _ _ Mr. Rae seconded tlao proposition, and, in doing so, expressed a hope that each committee would be guided by the returns they had made, and the result would be that the board would be in a much better position than it had ever been in before. After a few obser;rations from Mr.gßae and Mr. Bailiff, relative to certain statements that had been made at previous meetings, the report Was unanimonsly adopted. The board did not adjourn until half-past nine o'clock. EMIGRATION,—Two vessels, with 522 emigrants, left Southampton on Saturday for Australia. THE.
