play. It was a most lame and impotent attempt to counteract the Coroner's mistake in so abruptly dismissing the case without sufficiently searching enquiry. We trust these proceeding will serve as a warning to officials; but at the same time we hope the gross blunder of authorising a private government enquiry such as that of Mr. SLACK'S, —which smacks more of the Inquisition than of English justice—will never be repeated. The only certain and palpable result of these costly and vexatious proceedings has been to cast impu tations upon the character of two young women, the one sixteen and the other twenty-three years of age, *him nobody believes to be guilty, even if 'capable of perpetrating the offence ; and to wrap up the whole circumstances in a tissue of contra dictions and difficulties which have probably done more to obscure all chie to the discovery of the real offender, than to offer any probable sug gestion as to the direction of the actual truth. It is truly frightful to think that such a terrible crime could have been enacted in this country, and that its perpetrator should have been able to laugh to scorn every effort at detection. The very idea is alinost enough to banish altsense of 'security, to rob us of our midnight repose, and to Convert sleep—" nature's sweet restorer"—into a troubled and feverish dream. Who shall lie down upon their couch to rest under the curtain of night, without the fear of a violent death, if even our childreh are not safe in their cots by our side ? Whom shall we look upon with con tdence, if we are to become accustomed to have suspicion cast tupon the seemingly innocent Mem bers of our olva households ? Ho* shall We secure society from lapsing back into a reign of terror, if we 'are to be habittated to see the law. atrocioadly transgresga without a penalty ? Verily there is 'heavy responsibility resting terhevihore:; bit we have no reasonto despair, so long know that all has not been done that Viaglk to have been done, and that was certainly within the duty of the proper authorities. Coro ners, magistrates, and police officers mast be taught their duty. We pay handsomely for the due administration of jestice, and it is ;not to be tolerated that., through official tatelesshess, sing gishness, er stafiidity, the 'lieges ilittid live in constant jeopardy Of their dives, or that ruffianism and savage brutality should flourish amongst a Civilised people ender the encouraging hope of Perfect freedom and impunity. THE VOLUNTEERS AND THE FETE ON THE 18TH. Some misunderstanding having ocdtirreil 'among the officers of Volunteers regarding the int angements for the banquet on the lath, the follei•Ang resolution was adopted at a meeting held on Saturday last :—" That the officers commanding brigades and battalions cannot separate without expressing their regret that the wile of no officer of Volunteers, as such, appears upon the Arrangement Committee ; and that, in consequence, the distribution of tickets for the banquet has been so arranged that the Volunteer officers, as such, have been 'Unable to procure admission." Colonel Bousfield attended the General Arrangement Committee yesterday, as a deputation from the meeting of officers ; and the 'committee, who had themselves been selected by the Town 'Council in spring, repudiated any oversight or 'discourtesy on their part, either in act er intention. 'Certain explanations also took place, after which Colonel tousfield gracefully withdrew the resolution. Arrange runts were then made for the part which the Volunteers Wish to take in the proceedings of the 18th instant, iu accordance with another resolution of the officers adopted also at their meeting on Saturday. FRIkEXS ON 'CHANGE YESTERDAY. — The frequenters of the Exchange Newsroom were, yesterday afternoon, 'disturbed by the unusual sight of a pugilistic encounter between two well-known merchants, Mr. F. and Mr. J. It appears Mr. F. complained of some remarks made concerning hint by a brother of Mr. J.'s, which the latter denied. The language between them then became anything but courteous, and resulted in Mr. J. receiv ing a severe punishment about the face, which he returned by a vigorous use of his umbrella, when friends interfered, arid stopped further bloodshed! We do not mention names, as a magisterial enquiry is probable, When alt particulars will be elicited. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—The key-note of the 'municipal election was struck last night, when, as will 'be seen front our reporting columns, meetings were held in two of the wards. Mr. Siddeley, who comes forward ►for the Conservative interest, to fill the vacancy occa sioned by the lamented death of Mr. James Robertson, is as yet the only candidate in the field, and the election is fixed for Saturday next. It is understood that Mr. Sohnson will retire from. Lime-street Ward, and an address from Mr. P. G. Heyworth, offering himself, appears upon the walls. It will be seen that Mr. R. M. Beckwith, who has so long been unopposed in West Derby Ward, will not this time enjoy an uncontested Valk over. The address of Mr. Crellin, who is the retiring /cumber for Scotland Ward, will be found ‘ in our advertising columns. THE NEW FREE LIBRARY AND MUSEUM.—The works in connection with this noble building are being pushed forward with unexampled energy, in view of rendering them as advanced and complete as possible preparatory to the formal opening on the 18th instant. Hundreds workmen are employed in every department. The nest backward part of the building is the grand entrance hall; but it is now in complete possession of the plas terers, who are expending their skill in the elaboration of ornamental stucco work, and who are working with such energy that we get a peep already at the grandeur and beauty which breathe through the general design. The library itself, and the various museum rooms, are in a more advanced state of progress ; and in the latter the cabinet-makers are busy in fitting up glass cases for the thousand treasures in natural history or the applied science, which they are intended to display. The lec ture-hall, the entrance to which will be by a flight of steps from Clayton-street, is being seated, and already assumes an air of considerable completeness. In their present comparatively empty condition, the noble extent and proportion of the various rooms are seen to the highest advantage ; but, with the view of preventing the workmen from being impeded in their various opera tions, the committee have felt compelled to prohibit admission to all who are not strictly on business. Out, side, there is equal activity, and an army of labourers are engaged in laying down a small square-set pavement on the spacious and elevated esplanade in front of the buildino. LOCAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROMOTION or SOCIAL SCIENCE.—On Friday, the 19th inst, in the forenoon, Lord Brougham will take the chair at a meeting of the . Members of the Local Association for the Promotion of Social Science, of which body William Brown, Esq., has accepted the once of president. THE MARKETS CommirrEE.—The usual weekly meet ing_ of this committee was held yeiterday , at the Town nail. Mr. Alderman Woodruff presided. The other member resent were Messrs. Shillala% Kitchen, Nickson, Johnson, Barton, and Holden. 'The superin tendent of the markets reported that the receipts for the several markets were : from the the 30th of September, 1859, to October 14, 1860, £1,799 4s 6d, and for the e4iTesponding period of the previous year, £ 1 , 62018s 4d. The quantity of unwholesome meat seized and destroyed during the past week was 2,0801b5. An application was read from Mr. Manders to place his menagerie on the Vacant ground at the top of Shaw's-brow for a short time about Christmas next, which was refused. The other business transacted was of a routine character. THE WATER COMMITTEE.—The usual weekly meet ing of this committee was held yesterday, at the Town hall, Mr. Hodson presided. The other members pres en t were Messrs. Bennett, Farnworth, Crellin, Wag staff, Earle, and Estill. The engineer reported that the average rainfall for the week ending the 6th of October was 0.17 inches, and the depths of water in the several reservoirs, under their respective overflows, were, on the morning of the same day—E,oddlesworth fall, 5 inches; Rake -lane, 5 inches fall ; Anglezark, 1 inches fall ; Rivington, 1 foot 01- inch fall; Prescot (No. 1 ), 2 1 inches fall; and Prescot (No. 2), a rise of 4 feet 3 inches.

It was annou need that Mr. George Parry would be ready to undertake the duties as the assistant secretary in the engineer's department ,on the Ist of November next. There was no other °llsiness of importance transacted at this meeting.

The proceedings of the present Sardinian Par liament, and the opening address of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Cavour, are of such importance, that I am certain the.principal points of that minister's speech have already appeared in the English journals. It is more than probable that many of those who have hastily read that studied Ministerial -address, which was as mach, if not more, intended for the mists of Europe than the deputies of the Assenibly, passed the same over Withont intich attention to many of the most important points, which I now propose in a few words to bring back to the memory of your readers in a plain, straightforward Manner, so as to be understood, but without run . ning with the popular mania of jiidgiig too hastily onlythe superficial eliaraCter of the Italian qtestion. Conk CaVoili stated to the Assembly that the beginning of the present movement was commenced by Carlo Alberto, and since whose death has been unceasingly protected by the Government of the King. It is therefore clear from this assertion that the Government of Victor Emmanuel has been secretly and "cliligetitly working for the last twelve years to krest Lom bardy and Venice frcni Austria, dethrone the Dukes of Central 'ltaly, the' reigning Sovereign of the 'two Sicilies, and strip from the Pope the Pontifical States, all of which are now (with the, exception of Venice and Rome) to be incorporated under the Crown of the House of Savoy. This is, as I have just said, a plain, straightforWard manner of putting the real 'filets before "your readers, because it is free from the alloy of cant and diplomatic sophistry. Was there no ether means to be adopted, for the salvatimi of Italy than the dethronement Of Pra'ii fsh. tilll the usurpation of the Marches aid Umbria ? Was there net the slightest hope" that, after the campaigh a 1859 and the annexation of the central provinces and the Romagnas to Sardinia, making her mistress of half the peninsula, and more than a match for Francis 11. and the Pope, with the moral and military support of France by her side, that the King of Naples and his Holiness would be obliged to introduce such reforms as would approach the constitution of riodotofit Let us ask, were not those States kept in continual agitation by the intrignes otthe SeVel'ationarY party vichpreclucled those adVenithehts from introdUc- any Chaise in their laVss, and was It not t `the_ interest of the RevelitiOniStS, in 64 aliVe the agitation of these States 'arid itfiresent in the darkest coloneisViry act 'd the Governments, but which we. have teen equalled if not surpassed daring the short existence 'of the Republican Ministries of Sicily, and would be infinitely eclipsed in cruelties, if they .possessed the same absolute powers as the Governments of Francis IL .and Pio Nono ? Another paragraph of Count Cavour's speech says " That as Ministers. Of a Prince who is free Ihnt . eVery persdnAailittion, who has consecrated his sV7di:a all d life to the grand work of , restoring Italy to the Italians, we most firmly declare iii his name, that whatever may, be the vote of the people, it shall be religlgtsly respected." It would. be almost mad ness to doubt, the pure intentions of the 1?e Galantuomo, but we cannot forget that we are all men, and that ambition is one of the pretto minant vices of mankind, sortietimo Mere pro minent in the zeal of Minc.l)t 'f, than with their royal masters: With reference to the vote by universal snffrage, I put that entirely out of the question, as we have already had enough of that in the last comedy of Nice and Savoy. Let any man ask Garibaldi if he is satisfied with the vote of Nice, or persuaded that the peop le were not tampered with by the swarms of ,French agents spread in every hole and corner of that P The Count asks a question a mid ieoe - 8 to it him self. He demands with an that mock solemnity for which he is so notorious, " What will be the result of that vote ? The reply will be in the electoral urn." Why, Cavour perfectly knows already the result of the vote. My only surprise is that the solemn comic face of the speaker, with a wink of the eye to his collea g ues when he uttered th ose wor ds, did n o t excite loud laughter: Then follow these words, ".As Italians, we.excleit4 desire that the inhabitants of the provinces not yet united will not act differently from those of Central Italy, bat, with the same enthusiasm de clare the Unity of the peninsula under the ,consti-, tutional sceptre of Victor Emmanuel." Count Cavour and his agents will not be less busy in Sicily and Naples, in order to secure their triumph, than the Emperor of the Pittioli. and his police agents and others *ere in Savoy and Nice. I now come to a most important part of Count Cavour's speech, which says : " Italy is at last fret, with the exception of unhappy Venice. With respect to this most noble province of the Peninsula, Parliament is acquainted with our thoughts, which were clearly expreased in a recent diplomatic document. We judge it pru dent not to begin war with Austria .Sgailist the almogt unanimous wish of Europe. We who are the daily, and certainly not indifferent spectators to the cries of the Venetian people, do not abandon their cause ; but we repute it more effications to serve them by first rendering Italy powerful." • Which, in plainer language, means, and which of course will be interpreted by the Austrian. Government in their true sense, that at present the forces of Victor Emmanuel are not sufficiently strong to cope with the formidable legions of Austria; but as soon as her naval and military strength is properly organised, and the internal disaffections of the political factions calmed down, Count Cavour will easily find out the means to commence hostilities with the Em peror of Austria, despite the remonstrances of the . other Powers. I must now go back to the above quoted words,— We judge it prudent not to . begin war with Austria against the almost unanimous wish of Europe. • Then some one of the Powers is indifferent, or rather would wish Piedmont at once to throw down the gauntlet to Austria. Does the gain of England, Prussia, Russia, Spain, or any of the smaller Powers, depend on the triumphant success of Piedmont in such a war ? Would either of these Powers take up arms to assist Piedmont against Austria ? Does not the insatiable and astute ambition of France justify us in coming to the conclusion that the almost unanimous wish of Europe points to France as' being the exception, and which we all know would be the only power that is certain to reap any advantage by again interfering in the affairs of Italy ? Count Cavour further says that he is certain the nations and cabinets which' are now opposed to any hostile declaration on the part of Piedmont towards Austria, will in the end be favourable to the same, or ' words which mean the : same thing, as being the only means of finally settling the Italian question, and for ever putting an .end to the era of war and revolution in the South of Europe. Upon the same principle, Fiance 'br any ot her ambitious power jealous of England, might orga-. nise revolutionary committees, and fish out from the Continental cafés and wine shops swar ms of political adventurers, ever ripe for disorder and mischief, and ship them off to some of our colonies, or despatch them to every province, city . , and borough of Ireland, to stir up the Ribbon societies, and spread discontent and revolution in every• part of that ebuntry; then back up the same by an armed assistance, composed of the dregs of the Continent, and afterwards calmly turn round and say to England: The best means of putting an end to these disorders and revolution is to throw up i that country, and let the people chose by universal suffrage the government most genial to the character of the people. I can just bring to my mind a faint idea of the frightful spectacle that would ensue should such a principle spread itself among the nations of Europe. Rome, like Venice, we are present,told y Cavour, is to be aband oned for the consequence of supreme reasons which oblige us to respect the city where the head of the c h urc h h o ld s his seat, but which, by-and-bye, the minister hopes to obtain by the force of moral conviction and the lasting interests of Catholicism. The Allgerneine Zeitung, arrived this morning, states that there is not the slightest. discord between Garibaldi, Cavour, and Louis Napoleon (the invariable title given him by the German prints). The pretensions of Garibaldi relative to Venice and Rome, are physically impossible iu the actual condition of Piedmont ; but present events open a splendid move for the game of Cavour, who now wishes to persuade the diplomacy of Europe of his desire to put an end to the revolution, but which is no more nor no less than to give time for the coming struggle, .as well as a justification for the entry of the Pied montese into the Neapolitan States. Presuming that Garibaldi, Count Cavour, and the Emperor of France are perfectly agreed uponthe future events to be pursued with reference to Rome and Venice, will the hot-headed republicans now congre gated. at Naples be contented to abandon their march against those cities and the brilliant open ing such a course would afford for their ambition and personal interests ? What becomes of Gad baldi's last proclamation to the people of Palermo refusing the annexation of Sicily and Naples until he declared from the heights of the Quirinal the entire liberation of every province within the Italian Peninsula ? Can a man lik e Garibaldi be guilty of such deception, or lend himself to the deceit of others ? or does it mean that Garibaldi has been persuaded to abandon for the present his " programme," and recruit his strength during the winter months, to co mmence again his daring Operations on the other side of the. Mincio or on th e s h ores o f t h e Adriatic? These questions and th e answer to Cavour' only be revealed by th e mag i c wansdspeech can of diplo macy, which will probably come into action at the approaching meeting to be held at Warsaw. Lord John Russell's note to Sir James Hudson still continues to occupy the journals of this city, some taking the same view of that decument as the Daily News, declaring that is as much an admonition to Count de Rechberg as to Cavour, reminding the former that the i principle s of non intervention will be rigorously supported by England, and the latter not to be so stupid as to rashly run into danger with' his eyes shut. Other journals assert that the object of England's warm support of the principle of non-intervention, and the ostensible object of Lord John's last note, is the fear‘of two eventualities not very propitious for England; that is to say ; another Yreneh intervention in . Italy act a lietVerful Italiaii Aeet in the Adriatic. I will not be so pre sumptuous as to question the policy of such an experienced and veteran politician and diplo thatist as Lord Palmerston, seasoned as he is to the cunning and insincerity of many of the continental diplomatists. •We must never forget that it was France that dragged England -to' support 'her in the principle established at Villafranca; and vop all loin* that the iniperor N'apOltdri bapable of bamboozling England during and at the end of the present. game. France. will never lose sight of counterbalancing the influence of England in the Mediterranean, as well as lessening her importance and influence in the Adriatic redqiiitg thb lion's Share Of the adViiiitageS of the canal of the Islhiniis of Suez, which now forms the theme of many journals, declaring that it will now be accomplished in spite of England, and of course making the conquest of Venice of additional importance for the consideration of Cavour. England must not stretch her good faith or credulity too far, but. keep Her oOeri: I never like td hear fdreigtiet talk of the good faith and honesty of the English without think ing of their expression of Oh! 1? nit buon diavolo, which literally translated is, Oh! he is a food fellow, but which in the' Italian sense means, Oh! it is very easy to come at the blind side of him.

THE BATTLE OF THE VoLTUBNo: Tho totOkVitig ri4ni Cakrta, dated 0ct0.,. .,. bet `Midiy one of the combatants, gives art inte estitig account of this sanguinary fight : Yesterday, at break of day, the Royalists, under the command of Francis 11. in person, issued from Capua in three columns ; one of them attacked San Maria, another San Angelo, and the third cut off the communication between these two points. The advanced posts of San Maria, composed of Sicilians, were sarprised; and foited to fall bark. The attack tiu SAn were. Conducted with great Airy, arid tte fi.sailants penetrated into the first (ibises; in order to dislodge them from which no less than eight charges with the bayonet were necessary. San Angelo was heroically defended by the Brigade of the Medici division, who maintained their position with obsti nacy, notwithstanding that all the efforts of the Royalists were concentrated against it. The first brigade suffered severely, and three of the staff were put hors de combat, one of them was killed, and the other two severely wounded. The Royalists passed the river ,at -00jaito ft . re e e t n i p h u i e r i cc.

Towards two o'clock we had resumed the offensive; at six o'clock, the Royalists, pressed on all sides, were chased towards the Volturno, from whence they retired in disorder to Capita. The Iting - cpmmantled 3n pciloit_, and was habited as a prWate gehtleman. He was observed to be several times under fire. Garibaldi, in his usual garb, was ev erywhere, and. especially in those parts of the field where danger was greatest. We have had 1,280 men put hors de combat, and the Royalists about 3,000. The battle lasted front half-past threp in the rlaning till s even o'clock in the eyenihg. It is evident that this formidable attack Was the last effort of Francis 11., who interle'd, had he been victorious, to march upon the Capital. The Royalists set fire to several houses, and there were several wounded men burnt alive ; but these cruelties were committed by the Bavarians, and not by the Neapolitans. Upon the heights of Caserata, 2,000 Royalists were made prisoners, together with their arms and baggage. Another account contain§ the to owing addi tional 11.6Yalists wished to try a decisive coup. They Were surrounded; they knew that Cialdini was in their rear, and was always coming nearer to them, that General Lamoriciere had been completely defeated, and that Naples was defenceless. At six a.m. there issued from the posterns of Ca.pua 15,000 glen,, of Whdm 5,000 were horse, commanded ny Getieral Palmieri; and five batteries, commended by General Nigri. General Ritucci coliiiiitinded the whole force. Generals Afan de Riviera, Barbalongo, and Von Michel were under his orders. I had these details from Captain Peirelli. of the 7th Chasseurs, who has been made prisoner. At the same time a body of 5,000 was marching upon Maddeloni, in order to take the Garibaldians in the rear, and cut off their retreat. The soldiers of Francis IL separated into two corps —one, advancing along the railway; Was to attack the position of the Garibaldians on the arches of St. Maria, atid attract their attention to that point; the other, by the parallel consular road, was to dr(As tb the right through the fields, seconded by the teactionary peasantry of San Frisco and the neighbouring villages, and•to fall upon Santa Maria on the rear of the G'ari baldians. Another body of a thousand men, starting from the Piana, was to pass the Volturno . below Cajazzo, and to debouch through San Lucio. All this had been provided against by Garibaldi ; and it is astonishing that, in such a reactionary district, the Royalist s were not better informed as to the operations of the Garibaldians, for the latter had prepared redoabts, dug trenches, and raised barricades, precisely upon those fields which the Royalists imagined they would be able to cross' without obstacles, so As either to attack the right of the Garibaldijes, or throw themselVes into Santa Maria. At half 7 past six a very lively fire of musketry com menced, which was soon afterwards followed by a furi ous cannonade. The population was mach excited, and everyone ran to take a part in the defence. I ran to tlie front, and arrived just at the moment when the Royalists were passing over the fifteen arches of the railway, chasing the Garibaldians before them. The former, at eight o'clock,. were already at Santa Maria, near the walls of the Catupan amphitheatre. Whilst General Ritucci was carrying out this move ment, Garibaldi; who had arrived on the field, ordered an analogous one to it to be made. He ordered the Regiment Malenceni to leave Santa Maria on its left, directed it to pass outside, and throw itself into the fields which the Royalists were to traverse. The latter thus found themselves caught between two columns of Gari baldians, hemmed in between the railway and the road, and surrounded at all points. The ith Chasseurs were annihilated, with the exception of thirty-five men, a brigade-major, and Captain Pierrelli, who were made pri soners. If I were to describe the animosity and the obstinacy of the combat, the calm and genuine courage of the combatants, it would be impossible. I made the last campaign in Lombardy, I was at Magenta, and at Solferitio, and I thought yesterday I was there again. Thrice the positions of the Garibal dians were taken and re-taken with the bayonet; the grape mowed down the men frightfully, and little quarter was given. I saw with my own eves several of the wounded finish with the pistol, or with the dagger, a combat commenced by the rifle. With the exception of the Sicilians and the Neapoli tans of the city of Naples, everybody did his duty enthu siastically. It was a strange and savage thing, con 'sidering the Italian character, to observe the combatants fighting, without uttering a single cry, almost in silence. The roar of cannon resounded, the sky was magnificent, the sun in all its splendour, the ground which was trodden under foot teeming with produce. At mid-day the victory began to declare itself for the Garibaldians, fresh battalions, with new pieces of artil lery, - arrived from Caserta and from Naples, and took part in the action. The Garibaldiaus, at the outset, consisted of nearly 10,000, but now these numbers were augmented to 15,000. Garibaldi was everywhere; he watched carefully all the phases of the combat, havina• 2,000 men in reserve on his left, to be thrown into Capua had the vicissitudes of the action' presented a favourable occasion for doing So. He was very much excited, red,• and bathed in perspiration, and his voice was much altered. . At the attack. on Bixio's positions a great many officers were killed or wou n d e d. The Sicilians made a great noise, but did very little work. Throughout the engagement ammunition often failed the Garibaldians, and bread an d wine was quite ex hausted. They fought from six o'clock to one without ', a drop of water or a morsel of bread, under a burning sun, and nobody ventured to complain. Colonels Dunn .and Careo were wounded in the morning. The Anglo- Sicilian battalion, commanded by the former, was nearly destroyed, but all the officers remained at their posts, killed or wounded. The battery of San Angelo is very much injured. The fields were covered with the killed and wounded, whom we had not the means of carrying off. Thus ended a fierce and glorious day for the two armies.

Th e minutes of the last meeting, and the proceedings of the various committees, were read and confirmed. Mr. George Francis Train applied for permission to lay down a street -railway along Wavertree-road. He enumerated tb.e conditions on which he was ready to construct and maintain the rail way. These are already well known to our readers, and need not, therefore, be repeated: a plan and a pamphlet accompanied the application. Mr. Pinnington suggested that Mr. Train should be required to keep the space be tween the rails in repair ; there were, he said, serious objections to the details of the system. The Law-clerk explained that the board had no power to grant hint the exclusive privilege of running along the line of road. The question was adjourned for a month, Mr. Train being invited to attend at the next meeting to explain his system. After some formal business had been transacted, the board adjourned 7 LATEST NEWS. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH )MAGNETIC TELEGRAr If.) ITALY. MILAN, Oct. 1. The Perseveranza announces that Garibaldi solicits the King to go to Naples, and requests that 14,000 men be sent as soon as possible. . THE BATTLE ON THE VOLTURNO. Details have been receited of this battle, The conflict appears to leave teen of the Most murder ous kind: The trOons engaged on both sides did not fdrni a total of niore than 4(000 Hied, and not less ,tlian.Odd CorpSes,*ere left on the field of battle: The king of Naples Col - Mended in Ter- Son, and. the fighting lasted even longer than the first accounts received had stated. According to the Corriere Mercantile, a brigade of two batteries of the Piedmontese army took part in the conflict. The correspondent of the Debats, who was an eye-witness, says that the fighting put him in mind of Magenta and Solferino. Three times Were the Gariliq.ldiads cirii;en front ,their positions at the bayonet's point, and as often won them back. The results of the victory are not likely to be quite so brilliant as was at first supposed ; neither, as far as can be made out from the con flicting accounts received, was the victory so decisive as the telegram first reported. It comes to this : the Neapolitans attacked the positions of Garibaldi, and after fifteen hours' fighting were driven bast. Meanwhile they stand behind the Volturno as firmly entrenched, to the Pdtrie i g 144 tievifp they had erected nunicroiis with artillery at all the principal fords. Capua itself is a very strong place, and can stand a regular siege. Victor Emmanuel will probably have the power of tak ing part in the final struggle. The Mercantile Corriere, of Genoa, states that the Garibaldians have 1,280 men hors de combat. The loss of the Royalists is about 3,000. The. King of Naples was continually under fire. The total of the Royalist forces engaged was 20,000 ; the Garibaldians were above 12,000 strong. Eight charges were made with the bayonet before the Royalists ddifid lie di irdn oiit tediti the hottsgs in Santa, Maria: . , Mad the king Been tidtbrkitis he would at once have entered Naples.

Ile said no difference exists between Upper and Lower Italy ; everbody wishes Italy to be free. This idea animates both Garibaldi and King Victor Emmanuel : the difference between them exists in its realisation. In delivering Upper Italy, Piedmont imposed upon that. country her laws, her capital, and her administra tion. Piedmont has made Upper Italy Piedmontese. According to historical tradition the opinion of Balbo acid capital lags . and adininistratithi of Naples are siiperior those of Sardinia. - the Two Sicilies cannot lie unconditionally, annexed to Piedniont._ To enforce their immediate annexation would be to act with ingratitude towards Garibaldi. who desires to defer this measure. Neither is there any • urgent necessity for it, as anarchy does not exist in the Two Sicilies. Upon the question of confidence in the ministry, Signor Ferrari said he was opposed to Count Cavour, whom he stated to be unequal to the situation, because he would not attack Rome and Venice, Signor Ferrari then eßpressed his apprehensionsthat France . .Nrotila in time absorb Italy..

At St. Elmo Lord Llanover was shown a sort of well in -Mitch n man could only just stand without moving froni right to lefts and which, he was told, was constructed by order of the Ting.

The Herald says the bills of Lambichi Brothers, Greek merchants, of .

LIVERPOOL POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY. . , l i be monthly Meeting of this society *Ss held last evening in the lectuke-hail of the 11°01 tnstitntion, Mr. Maxwell Scott in the chairs There ` vats an unusually large attendance of members and visitors. Mr. JOHN Annafissi, the Honorary Secretary,. an nounced that (Riling the transaction of the private husindss, Whidi piceedeS the piitlie gathering, Mr. William Brown bad been unanimously elected an hono rary member of the society. (Applause.) They were all aware of the circumstances under which this had taken place, and that a large space in the new Museum had been placed at the disposal of a committee of five, composed of one from, each of the five learned societies in town. The special object had been to pro vide a space f;ir new inventions. Mr. Abraham con cluded by announcing that an address would be presented to Mr. Brown by the council of the different societies on the day of the opening of the Library. Mr. itfaxett then efthibited and eftplained the model 0t a proposed high-letel communidation between the town and landing-stages; but, by consent, all discussion on the subject was postponed till the next meeting. There was also exhibited the model of a new descrip tion of paddle-wheel, invented by Mr. M'Ardle. The discussion on the subject of street railways was then resumed, and was of the most, interesting charac ter ; but, with the want of space at our disposal, we can but briefly indicate its principal points. Mr. PENISTON first spoke, adducing principally Trans atlantic testimony of the value of this mode of communi cation through the streets of a large town. Every house ih the country became more valuable where the owner could jump into a convenient vehicle; and every shop in tow n would have a larger custom, when, by means of rails laid dawn in front of it 3 ladies could ride with greater luxury than was now afforded by a private car riage. In America, he noticed that ladies were sorr y to get - out, and it was a common practice with convalescent individuals to take a few hours' airing in the cars. Quakers knew well what conduced to comfort, and in Philadelphia alone over 170 miles of these street rail- Ways now permeated the town; and where one rode in an Omnibus before, twenty take the cars. '70,000,000 persons bad passed over these roads in Poston, New York s and Philadelphia, within a given time, and with only twelve accidents, and those occasioned principally by the parties' own carelessness ; and what better proof could be afforded that they were preferred to those lumbering vehicles, which only stifled one, than the fact that in five weeks . 65,000 persons had passed over the street railway at Birkenhead ? Mr. Peniston then briefly glanced at a few of the leading objections urged, stating that Mr. Train (who was present), Mr. Piffles, the engi neer of the Birkenhead railway, or himself, would be happy to answer any questions which might be put. Mr. Joserit Boozer expressed himself as highly favour able to the new system, and thought that by its adop tion the cost of constructing, maintaining, and cleansing our roads would be so much reduced as to lead to a marked diminution in highway rates. He hoped that an experimental line would be laid down at once from the Town-hall to Garston. Mr. HAZARD dwelt on the advantages of having only a single line of rail, to be laid down by a public com pany, but the use of which should he open to all others, under regulations which might be laid down under the Board of Trade. Mr. WIONALL spoke• in favour of Messrs. Busby's system, with Mayne's patent wheel for the omnibuses, in so far as applicability to the streets of Liverpool was concerned. Alderman BENNETT thought all must admit that the days of the old lumbe rin g omnibus were numbered, and street transit was a b ou t t o open to us to the old mode as th e ra il way was to thatas much u a c s h y s s t u e p m e r r the canal and stage-coach. Mr. Bitows called attention to the practical demon stration afforded to the new system by the dock line of rails. Mr. Botrur, to bring the matter in a definite shape before the meeting, proposed a resolution to the effect that, in the opinion of those present, it was desirable that horse railways should be introduced into the large towns of the country, as they appeared perfectly feasible, and would be conducive to the convenience of the gene ral public ; whilst they would also lead to a reduction of the rates for maintaining and cleansing the highways ; and in narrow streets, their introduction would be an equivalent to an increase of the width of those streets. Mr. MATTI-m - 11's seconded the motion, but pointed out what he considered various defects in the line, as laid down at Birkenhead. Mr. BAKER pointed out the advantages of a concav e rail, eight or nine inches broad , winch any ordinary vehicle might work in, and which would also be efficient in drainage of the streets. One vehicle could also easily work off. to make way for another. Mr. ABRAHAM said that would he a tramway, and not a railway. After several other opinions had been expressed, prin cipally favourable to the scheme, Mr. TRAIN replied with his characteristic force and humour,—shortly after which our reporter retired. The discussion had been again ren:',wed; but from the general tone of the remarks it appeared pretty evident that Mr. Boult's motion, if put, would be unanimously carried. SOUTH TOXTETH IVARD.—A meeting of the commit tee appointed to conduct the election of Mr. Samuel Siddeley as member for this ward was held last night at the Royal Oak, Warwick-street, when steps were taken to secure Mr. Siddeley's return as a representative of the ward.

PRELIMINARY MEETING OF TIM RATEPAYERS TO OPPOSE MR. BECIiVirITIL , Last evening a very large and influential meeting of t w h a e r ward t N t v t pa % s h e e l o d f at the choosingO l d a COife tp lio e i r s rra t Let : s h o j i !, th fo i rg com mittee to promote the election of a tit and proper person to represeif6 the *aril at the neat municipal election on the Ist of No+irmTler: Mt. 1. Avart was unanimously called upon to preside: Artlon't the other ratepayers present were—Messrs. John Whitby, John Abraham, Walthew, French, Atherton, Archer, George Lunt, John Home, Edward Marshall, Brad shaw, Page, George P. M'Knight, John B. Morgan, Isaac Simm, Joshua Ashley, T. W. Uiguett, John Littler, John Edwards, John Whitehead, Thomas Barrow Owen Hughes, Walmsley, Simcock, John Jack, James Parnell. The CIan:MAN I on taking the chair, said, he muc h regfetted that some mare influential person in the ward lad ndt been called tip= td preside on that occasion. et, fie assiiresl them that he had no hesitation in taking a part, and doing Itliat lie .edUld, in furtherance of the interests and prosperity of the and in iromoting the object of the meeting. (Hear, hear., The 'West Derby was a most important ward, and they (the tate payers) had most important duties to perform. In exercising their municipal rights they were only exer cising a duty,—those rights were the cradle of English liberties ; and the ratepayers must not allow themselves td become apathetic. the meeting was simply caled for ptffpdse of appointing a committee to select a gentleman to rep'resen't the ward at the next municipal election. It was consider - 6d by the promoters of the meeting, that the interest of this ward had riot been suffi ciently looked after. The sewerage-rates had inereased most enormously. Last year the sewerage rate for that township had been fixed at 10d. in the pound. Next year it might be ls. ; and perhaps in a few years more it might be raised to 2s. in the pound, and there was no help for it unless they looked after their own interest. The chairman concluded by saying that he should be most happy, to hear any observations that might he made; and edge( in hearing a resolution proposed for the appointment di' a pantritittee i as had been suggested. Mr. Tiro:was BA:naithf said he bad heard with much pleasure the object of the Meeting, ai had been stated by the chairman. He thought that, ?rani what had occurred recently, it was necessary that they sliddld select another gentleman to represent that ward in the Corporation. He had, therefore, great pleasure in pro posing that a committee should be appointed to select a fit and proper person to represent that ward on the Ist of November next. Mr. M'KNIUHT felt much pleasure in seconding the proposition for the appointment of a committee. He hoped there would be a committee formed at once, for he was ward safe that there need be some new blood in the ward if the ratep'afets teed d desire to look after their own interests. He had 'Mich Adaittre in ceeunding the motion. _ _ _ Mr, J. ABRAHAMS begged, before the motion Was .put, to ask a simple question. What crime or misdemeanour had Mr. Beckwith been guilty of, that he should be turned off ? Mr. Beckwith had served the ward faith fully for twelve years. (Hear, hear.) He would .ask, What had Mr. Beckwith done ? What was "the head and front of his offending ? " Was he not a most indefatigalfle member of the Health Committee ? Had he ntit alvlialys, used his utmost exertions in that committee ? He has eletays • striven, to the utmost, to give thorough satisfactiot to all parties, and there was not a man in the committee Who had striven harder than Mr. Beckwith had to support economical views—especially in the township. The chairman had had a great deal to say about the sewerage. Mr. Beckwith had done all he could in that matter; but the fact was that they (the ratepayers) were now paying for the sine of their forefathers. Their forefathers had not attended to' their duty, and now the present genera tion had to pay for their defalcations. If there was one person who had reason to complain, he (Mr, Abrahams) had, for he had only just had to pay £2'2 for sewerage. For the last twenty-six years there had been no sewerage ' done until lately, and he would ask, after the exertions Mr. Beckwith had displayed for the last twelve years, why was he to be discarded—why was an old servant to be turned away ? It might be said that Mr. Beckwith did not attend to the affairs of the ward ; but he (Mr. Abrahams) would deny the imputation, and he would say that, of all the sixteen wards id ftte tewit, the West Derby was represented the best. They had the.three first letters in the alphabet— an Aikin, a Beckwith, and a Clint; and he hoped that the ward would long continue to be the A B C ward of the town. (Cries of "No, no.") He again wished to know in what Mr. Beckwith had offended. (Cries of "Oh, oh.") He would tell the meeting that they had got the best representative of any ward in the town, and he defied contradiction. (A voice : " Bravo, Abra hams.") Let the chairman tell him (Mr. Abrahams) where on when Mr. Beckwith had been neglectful in the per formance of his duties ? What were his deficiencies ? Let those qiiestlatis be answered. (Hear, hear, and erica of "Oh, oh!') ITe was quite sure that if they brought forward another mart they would never find one like Mr. Beckwith. In conclusion ; he called upon the chairman to state what was the head and front of Mr. Beckwith's offending, and what was the crime he had committed, that he was to be so imeeremoisiously kicked out, after having faithfully represented the ward for twelve years. Mr. J. WHITBY said he could fully endorse all that had been said by Mr. Abrahams. He also wanted to know what Mr. Beckwith had been guilty• of that he was to be sent to the rear. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Whitby) was not a po liti ca l s upporter of Mr. Beckwith, but he had always found hint a straightforward and honest man in every seise of the word, a man who' had done his duty to the public, and therefore he would support him. Mr. Ileckwith had represented the ward for twelve years, and had . performed his duty, bat those who complained of him must not pct all the blame on his shoulders—he was not the chairman of the committee. Mr. Beckwith was sent th - re as the representative cif the ratepayers of the ward —he was Pot responsible for all the acts of the health committee—his was only' one voice. (Soule gentlemen here called out, " Order, order ; chair, chair.") He (Mr. Whitby) would move that instead of a committee being appointed to select some other person to represent the ward, that a vote of thanks be passed to Mr. Beck with for the valuable services he had rendered to the ward, and that he be most earnestly requested again to come forward, and that the meeting would do its utmost to secure his re-election. Mr. Whitby having expatiated at great length upon the merits and valuable services Mr. Ileckwith had rendered to the ratepayers of the ward during the time (twelve years) he had represented it, concluded by saying that he did not wish to depreciate the valuable services that had been rendered by Mr. Aiken and Mr. Clint as the representatives of the ward, but they fell very far short of the great services that had been rendered by Mr. Beckwith ; and he hoped, although he had never asked the question, that some gentleman present would second his motion. (Cries of "Don't you wish you may get it?") I think Mr. Bradshaw will second the pro position. Mr. MTNIGHT—Don't you do it, Mr. Bradshaw. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. Baansitaw—l will do it, and I have much pleasure in doing it. I'm not afraid. Mr. E. MARSHALL, of the Edge-hill Coffee-house, said he had understood that the meeting, was called for the purpose of finding a person to take the • place of Mr. Beckwith as their representative in the Corporation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Whitby had been praising Mr. Beckwith. (Laughter.) There was no doubt that some years ago, Mr. Beckwith was a very industrious and in defatigable representative of the ward ; but of late, he could not be approached by the poor man. Mr. Marshall then pointed out what he considered derelictions of duty on Mr. Beckwith' s part—not insisting upon having certain drains made in back streets in the neighbour hood of Edge-bill, when they were made in Fairfield. From that it appeared to him (Mr. Marshall) that Mr. Beckwith had shown a great favour to the aristocratic locality of Fairfield, while he had neglected other dis tricts, where poor people lived. That, he had no doubt, had caused great umbrage to the ratepayers, and hence the present movement, which he had no doubt would be carried out. He also stated that there had already been two meetings held —one at his own house, and the other at that of Mr. M'Coomb's, but that he did not know the decision that they had come to; but., although he bad formerly given his vote occasionally for Mr. Beck with, this time, if a better man was brought forward, he would vote against him. Mr. RonEwrs—l have one quiet question to ask the chairman,—("Shut up and hold your tongue ")—we are to" ejectionise" Mr. Beckwith—tell me the name of the man you are going to put in his place. The CHAIRMAN—Not at present. (Laughter.) Mr. Romurs—May I ask who you are going to name in the place of Mr. Beckwith ? The CHAIRMAN—That will be decided by the meet ing. If Mr. Whitby's motion is carried, we have no occasion to name another gentleman. Mr. ROBERTS—But who are you going to bring for ward ? Mr. WHITBY—Let us know his name ; don't let us fight against shadows. Mr. ARCHER then, at considerable length, addressed the meeting in opposition to the re-election of Mr. Beckwith, and referred to some transaction in which the speaker was personally interested; but the Health Committee had not done that which he conceived to be right, and therefore he thought that he (Mr. Beckwith) should be rejected, an d a more e ffi c i en t person e l ec t e d in his place. Mr. J. W. HIGNETT said the question had been asked, who was the person who was to be brought forward to take the place of Mr. Beckwith, and without mentioning names, he would say that the person named was a man of talent and ability, and as far superior to Mr. Beckwith. as the sky was above the head of that gentleman. (Loud cries of "Name, name.") The CHAIRMAN decided that there was no necessity to name the gentleman. After some further conversation, in the course of which some gentlemen appeared rather "warm in the Beckwith cause," The CHAIRMAN put the amendment and the motion — for the first, there were nine hands held up, and for the original motion, as the chairman declared, more than five times that number. After the decision had been declared in that division, the following gentlemen expressed their wish to use their most strenuous exertions to find another represen tative for the ward :—Messrs. Marshall, Wignall, Manight, Archer, J. Simms, J. Pennell , L ittler, Ather ton, 0. Hugh es . J. B. Moran, Walthcw, Barrow, Page, J. Holme, and Ibb s , w ith power to add to the ir number. This te r committee having unanimously passing chairman, p rocee ded with the busine ss. aton after eteele of thanks they. to theee been a duly y ON Div.—lt was rumoured that either Mr. Shimmin or Mr. Breckle would be brought forward to o pp ose Mr. Beck with.

The sitting was then adjourned :nail one o'clock, when the bankrupt, having complied with the requirements of the court, and also amended his balance-sheet, was allowed to pass. The certificate sitting was appointed for the sth November. In, re RICHARD BEVAN.—This was rt . proof of debt and dividena upon the estate of to bankrupt, who was formerly a wine merchant in Liver pool, and carried on business under the firm of. Bevan and Smith. Mr. Wynne appeared to support a proof by Mr. Hulton, the treasurer of the County . Court, on behalf of the Lords of the Treasury, for £5OO upon a bond by which the bankrupt became a surety for Mr. Statham, the late registrar of the County Court.—Mr. Hull, for the assignees, objected to the proof, on the ground that thee liability occurred after the bankruptcy, that the claim of the Crown was not barred by the bankruptcy, and that their retnedy was against the bankrupt.—Mr. Wynne, in reply to the Commissioner , said he could not now proluce the bond, and therefore would simply ask that a dividend on the amount sought to te proved should be reserved. — His Honour doubted whether Mr. Hulton was the proper party to prove, but in the absence of the bond would not express an opinion • he would, however, direct that the official assiznee should a reserve sum sufficient to pay them the same dividend as the rest of the creditors, in the event of their proof being afterwards admitted. CORONER'S COURT. Yesterday the Coroner held the following inquests : On the body of Robert Bannister, eleven weeks old, the child of Teresa Bannister, 8, Islington, a butcher's wife.

She lived in a court in Eldon-street, and complained of a cough for some time past. She was found dead in bed on Sunday morning, and it was proved that death `►as the result of natural causes, and the jury found to that effect. CORRESPONDENCE. VOLUNTEER BANDS ON SUNDAY.

Sin,—Rumours seriously affecting the above corps are in active circulation. Jealousy for the fair fame of our Volunteers, as a body, and for the character for loyalty of my countrymen generally, impels rae to request your insertion of the following quenes in your next issue :—Have the Irish Volunteer Rifles in Liverpool been sworn in? and, if not, Why? Knowing the ill concealed disloyalty of a small section of the Irish people, I think it not altogether improbable that the injurious rumour may have some foundation in fact. Trusting this publicity will have the effect of removing what would be (if true or uncontradicted) a stain on the loyalty of Irishmen, as well as an anomaly in the Volun teer movement, I will not now make any comments on the subject, but shall most anxiously await an of contradiction or explanation.—Yours, &c., AN IRISH VOLUNTEER. Liverpool, Oct. 8, 1860. MR. JEFFERY & THE DISTRIBUTION OF TICKETS FOR THE BROWN BANQUET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. SIN - IS it not to be much regretted that the ban quet about to be held at St. Georges-hall, out of compliment to William Brown, Esq., should be greatly marred by the conduct of the committee for the distri bution of the tickets ? Mr. Jeffery, as usual, though liberal he be, not satisfied with his own portion, must monopolise every ticket he can lay his hands upon, not required by other members of the committee—report says between thirty and forty—without first offering them to the merchants and independent gentlemen of the town. Such a proceeding has greatly lowered the respect ability of the banquet, and given it a party complexion, which is to be much regretted, as the leading Conser vatives, irrespective of politics, were anxious to pay Mr. Brown the compliment of being present. With regard to the tickets for the gallery, I have heard of several instances where partisans obtained as high as ten tickets. Of course the respectable portion of those who might have wished to be present are prevented by such liberal conduct, and consequently annoyed ; and very naturally so. But the Liberal party have only themselves to blame, by allowing the management to be placed in such hands ; but it is to be regretted on Mr. Brown's account.—Your obedient servant, Dicx.y Sax. 'Change, October 8, 1860. THE VOLUNTEERS AND THE PROCESSION ON THURSDAY THE 18TH INST. ITALIAN OPERAS AT THE THEATRE ROYAL.-MACBETH. Last night, an opera, by Verdi, new to Liverpool, on the subject of Shakspeare's tragedy, " Macbeth," w as produced. Madame Viardot Garcia took the part of Lady Macbeth. Signor Ciampi, at short notice, took that of Macbeth in lieu of Banquo, which was given to Signor Fallar. Afacduf was played by Signor Angelo Luise. A first representation, especially under these circumstances of changing characters, is always enti tled to same consideration, and it may fairly be pronounced a great success. Madame - Viardot, for whom the opera has been evidently produced, excited the greatest enthusiasm throughout her whole performance. She had some very fine music to sing, and she did it ample justice. Her two most striking efforts were the duet with Macbeth, inciting him to the murder, and the Brindisi, "Si colmi it calice," addressed to the guests at the banquet. Signor Ciampi acted and sang his • part of Macbeth with great energy and animation. Signor Fallar was effective in Bann° ; and Signor Angelo Luise in Macduf evidently surprised himself as much as the audience when he excited them to call for a repetition of " La patorno rnano"—" Why did I leave those dear ones"—a very pathetic air, sung by him with great taste. The opera varies little from the tragedy, except by several omissions. The witches appear in numbers, instead of only three weird women ; and when Macbeth seeks them a second time, he swoons after he has received the warnings about Birnam Wood, &c., and sees the line of kings to be born to Banque. While he is in this state, the libretto says that a choir of " airy spirits" should "descend," and soothe his troubled soul ; but last night the witches collected around him as he lay, and sang a very beautiful chorus. The finales to the first and second acts were very effective, and the principal performers were called in each instance before the curtain. The conversion of this great tragedy into an opera is some what shocking to an English audience; and, even as a novelty, it did not attract as large an attendance as the previous operas had done, but we have no doubt that this opera will become popular as it becomes known. It is not quite so romantic in character as the " Trove tore," but has a grander style pervading it—more united to the high tone of the shakspearian drama. " Martha" will be played on Friday, and will draw a large audi ence, nearly every seat in the dress boxes having been taken. THE HARVEST AND THE CORN MARKET. (Front the Mark Lane Express.) The weather having continued fine throughout the week, a great deal of corn which was in jeopardy has been secured, some of it in tolerably fair order. There are many localities, however, where the harvest is still incomplete, and much of the second crop of grass has perished. The prospect of the nation in respect of cereals has now much improved, and our neces s ities have proportionately diminished. We cannot as yet, though, congratulate the country upon having gatbered an average crop of wheat, while the quality is much below that rate. Some of the new samples sent to the London and other markets being quite unfit for the mill, the consequence has been an unusual drain upon the granaries here, say by ship and rail, at the rate of 50,000 to 60,000 quarters per week 25,000 quarters have been sent by the Eastern Counties Railway in that time. Nor will this much diminish till the new samples .are better fit for manufacture, though the past week has been more calm. Prices on small supplies have still been pointing upwards, on an average, from Is to 2s. per quarter ; but should foreign supplies continue free, and the weather fine, a temporary check may be ex pected. The deficiency in the potato crop in England and Ireland, without including Scotland, creates a void in human food of 5,273.000 quarters of corn. Startling even as this is, a partial failure in turnips or mangold wurtzel seems likely to make additions to this amount. The wheat crop, though in a bad state, may be con sidered safe, and its lateness will diminish our necessi ties by about one-tenth, to be made up, perhaps, by the supplies of America. However, the free tribute of all other countries may he required by the close of the season, and it will .be dangerous to practise waste or assume plenty while we cannot disturb these figures. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY• (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) A PAIR OF lILACKGUARDc. Daniel Collins and William Capsey, one a smith and the other a labourer, were charged for having assaulted I.abella Walsh and another female. It appeared that the female Walsh, keeps a house of ill repute in Hothatn-street, and that after one o'clock on Sunday morning, the prisoners entered and asked for a friend; she said there was no One in the Muse but . herself, and-gave them a candle to go up stairs and ascertain' the fact. When they got the candle, they refused to go up stairs, and at once attacked and knocked her down. ' , he then called for assistance when the other Womancarne in, and they acked her and knocked her down. Police-officer 637 came and saw the prisoners beating, the women, v.hom they had down on the floor. The urisoners, in reply to the charge, said they went to look for a person whose coat was stolen by the complainant Walsh, and when they entered the house they were attacked with pokers, and they were only defending themselves. This was denied by the women, and the police officer corroborated their statement. Mr. Raffles said no mater what character the women might be, they should not be subject to such treatment. Ile fined the prisoners £l, or one month's imprisonment each. THE NEW ACT.—CAUTION TO DRUNKARDS. In the new Act of Parliament (the Wine and Refreshment Licence Act) there is a clause imposing a penalty of 40s. on per sons who may be drunk and disorderly in public-houses, and who refuse to go out when requested to do so. One of the first cases under the act came before Mr. Raffles, yesterday, when a man was charged by a publican for being drunk and dis orderly in his house, and for refusing to leave the house when requested to do so several times. Mr. Raffles fined the prisoner 10s. and costs. STABBING BY A FEMALE. Mary Gallagher, a resident of Prince William-street, was brought up on remand charged with having stabbed another female, named Mary Jones. It appeared tha the parties had some dispute, arising out of the root of all evil. drink, and that the prisoner, either with a knife or scissors, stabbed com plainant in the upper lip, cutting it through. The prisoner was sent for trial. "JOE SMITH," FROM BURY. Margaret Armstrong, was charged for having stolen As. from "Joe Smith," of Bury. Mr. Smith, by his manner and language, created a great deal of laughter, the more so when cross-examined by Mr. Cobh (for the prisoner). Mr. Joe must have been the funniest fellow about Bury, and no doubt he would have rnade.an excellent ring jester, if picked up by some equestrian company. He came from Bury on Saturday even ing, to'visit a friend in Duke-street. and on " meandering " along Harrington-street, he met the prisoner, who "dis tracted" his attention, and " extracted " his purse, and then she called a man who kicked his hat, and when he " axed " him what he done that for? why "axe about" says be, and then he kicked himself about like a football, and the " damsel " got away, but he " tally-hoed" after her , and " gripped" her in Cook - street, when he took the purse and got five shillings of his eight, and then he cried to her, you're my prisoner in the Queen's name. The prisoner was convicted and sent to gao for four months. (Before Messrs. TOBIN and SHAND.) THE BROKEN NOSE. Joseph Porter charged Richard Hesketh for having broken his nose. Mr. Cobb was for the complainant and Mr. Muck for the defence. From the statement of Mr. Cobb. and the evidence of the complainant,it appeared that on Saturday evening the 22nd September, the parties were in a stable in Naylor-street, both being carters in the same employment; they were not sober at the time, and some words took place between them mad blows followed, and the allegation was that the defendant struck Porter on the nose and broke it. Sur geon Pope stated that he was called up in the middle of the night to attend the man ; he had a compound fracture of the nose, most likely front a kick ; there was a contused wound on the side of his head, and he nearly bled to death, and for a week his life was in great danger. the cumplainant, in reply to Mr. Block, said he could not swear that the def •ndant struck him, but he thought it was he who did it. Mr. Block called two witnesses and their statement went to show that one was as bad as the other, and the magistrates thinking that to be the case, discharged the defendant THE BROAD GUAGE. Richard Tipping, cart owner, was summoned for not having some of his carts licensed. The defendant said he had applied at the Town Hall for a license, but was refused. The officer who had summoned the defendant, said, the reason why the license was refused was that the carts were too wide accord ing to the b' e-laws. Mr. Tobin adjourned the further hearing of the case until he enquired into the law on this point. MANSLAUGILTRE AT BlRKENHEAll.—Yesterday fore. noon a man named Thomas Oatfleld was taken into ens tody by the police of Birkenhead, charged with the man slaughter of Mr. Ntiick Whelan. It will he remem bered that an inquest was held on the body of the decease(' on Wednesday last, the result of which was reported in our paper of Thursday. The present charge will ikobably be investigated on Friday next EMIGItATION FROM LivEnpooL.—The official returns of the emigration from the Mersey for the quarter and month ending the 30th of September have just been completed by the government emigration officers, and from these it appears that during the past month 22 ships " under the act " were cleared by the government officers, haying on board 370 cabin and 4,954 steerage passengers-1,540 of whom were English, 216 Scotch, 2,891 Irish, and 307 foreigners, against, in August, 495 cabin and 5,906 steerage (being a falling off of upwards of 1,000), and 293 cabin, and 5,211 steerage in the corresponding period of last:year. The total emigration "under the act" during the quarter amounted to 17,331 souls. of whom 1,158 were cabin and 16,073 steerage -4,885 English, 1,000 Scotch, 9,399 Irish, 789 foreigners. Miring the quarter 851 cabin and 13,346 steerage-pas sengers sailed " under the act " for the United States, against, in the same period of 1859, 749 cabin and 12,428 steerage passengers—au increase of'nearly 1,00 0 . "Short ships"—not uder the act—carried to the States 581 passengers against 681 last month, and 727 in the corresponding . period of 1859. The Canadian mail steamers carried to Montreal and Quebec 760 passengers, chiefly cabin, against 697 last month , and 540 in the corresponding period of 1859. The total emigrat ion fo r the quarter to Victoria and New Zealand amounted to 235 cabin and 2,754 steerage, against, in the correspond ing period of 1859, 175 cabin and 3,224 steerage. To New South Wales during the quarter only one ship con veyed emigrants-371 in number ; while in the corres ponding quarter of 1859, 1,120 emigra rats were despatched from Liverpool by the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners. There has been no emigration to the Cape of Good Hope or South Australia from the Mersey during the quarter. • TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. Sin,—We are within ten days of the opening of the Free Library, the gift of William Brown, Esq. ; and though there is a vague impression that there will be a procession through the town, aided by the presence of our " noble volunteers," yet, strange to say, there is nothing arranged. Such absence management, and want of concert, 1 will undertake to say, could not be found in any other town in the kingdom. But rumour says that the officers of the different corps are disgusted with the selfish manner in which Mr. Jeffery, and others, of the committee, have appropriated the tickets for the dinner, without making any provision for them. Should such, unfortunately, be the case, I trust that the officers and volunteers generally will overlook this affrqnt, and pay Mr. Brown the compliment, and their fellow-townsmen the pleasure, of turning out. The , loyal people of Liverpool are anxious to do everything in their power to add to the joyousness and beauty of the scene, and yet nothing is positively known, as to what course the procession vil[ take through the town. Surely there cannot be any jealousy with our colonels. The artillery would be first ; but of the rifles, the Ist Lancashire would most undoubtedly take the lead. Per haps, Mr. Editor, you will be kind enough to ventilate the subject through the Daily Times, and cause a pro gramme to be issued without delay, for it must not be overlooked that considerable preparation is necessary, such as inviting friends from afar, procuring flags, &c. To be done at all, it ought to be done well and quickly, and the inhabitants are hourly expecting an official account of what will take place, more particularly with regard to the procession. As it will be a close holiday, the Exchange area wouldi be an excellent place for the rendezvous for the Volun teers ; but if not large enough for all, certainly for the Rifles.—Apologising for tresspassing so far upon year space, I am, &c., "Ex PECTANS." Liverpool, Oct. 8, 1860. A LOVE MATCH SPOILED IN LIVERPOOL.. That horrible stream of true love has been again stopped by the detectives of Liverpool, and what they next may undertake to do is a myth—but it would not be surprising if they tried to keep out the tide with a pitchfork—for they have often performed tasks ap— parently as hopeless. A young gentleman of nineteen, who lives—or did live with his father in Chatham-street —took it into his head to fall over cars in love with a pretty raven-haired, diamond-eyed young lady, who officiated at the bar of a respectable hotel, not a rifle shot from where Vousden delights hundreds nightly. An elopement was of course managed, and the "needful" was provided by the young gentleman, who, somehow or other laid digits on about £7OO belonging to his father. The loving pair were missed, and, as in all emergencies, the aid of the detectives was sought, and granted. Two of the most distinguished and polite of the corps were on the alert. They bad heard that the runaways had gone to London, but they knew better ; and on Sunday morning, after a deal of oil, they went to a respectable house in Hope-place, where they got the two darlings, and, what was as good, they got £630 of the missing money, together with a quantity of jewellery and other property that had been purchased for the fair one, by the juvenile homo. The father of the latter, having got possession of his son and the money, declined to prosecute, and sent the young damsel about her own business. Horrid detectives, what wrecks you make !

Price 2s. NEW INVENTION.—THE NEW FOUNTAIN PEN.---A greater annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with---the difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Rudhall and Co. is the best we have ever seen. By a simple hu t effec tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of a second inverted barrel, above the writingnib, and this barrel can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feature in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes' quick writing. The pen iiself is of the finest description, and in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Halt, South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour.
