MARKETS COMMITTEE. - , - A special kenerdrineeting of this cominittee was held in the- Council-chamber, at the Town-hall, yesterday forenoon. Mr. Johnson presided; and the other members pregent. were Messrs. Woodruff, Shimmin, Holden, Ridley, Houghton, Anthony, and Haydock. The Chairman said the first business on the list related to the system of books proposed to be kept by Mr. Bally, in addition to those now in use, comprising a rent-roll book, large check books in substitution of the small check books, and also plans of markets showing the numbers of stalls. At the suggestion of the chairman, the subject was post poned until the new staff had been appointed. Mr. Ridley said, that on the 9th of May he gave notice that he would on a subsequent day move that it be recom mended to the Council to appoint Mr. Hutchinson superintendent of all the markets at a 'salary of £250 per annum; Mr. Stonehouse manager of St. John's market, at £2OO ; Mr. Tyrer manager of St. James's and other markets in the southern division, at £l4O ; and Mr. Radcliffe manager of St. Martin's and the northern division, at £l3O. Circumstances had since•transpired which had compelled him to make some alterations in the recommendation. Mr. Hutchinson he believed to be competent to the discharge of the duty of general superintendent of all the markets, at a salary of £250. Mr. Hutchinson, in the new appointment, would have to investigate the entire management of the markets ; he would have to look after the managers of the other markets, and to see that they did their duty ; he (Mr. Hutchinson) would also have to see that the books were carefully, clearly, and fully kept ; but he himself would have nothing whatever to' do with the handling of one penny of the Corporate money. In the neat place he intended to propose that Mr. Stonehouse, also an old and valuable servant of the corporation, should be removed from the northern markets, where he at present received £2OO a-year, and be appointed to the central markets, at a salary of £220. At first, he cMr. Ridley) had intended to place Mr. Tyrer as superintendent of the southern markets, and Mr. Radcliffe as superintendent of the northern markets; but these gentlemen having resigned their situations, he would simply propose that two com petent persons be appointed, at a salary of £125 each. He also proposed the appointment of two collectors for St. John's and the central markets, at a salary of £lOO a-Tear. The various propositions were then submitted seriatim, and unanimously agreed to. Mr. Ridley added that the new plan involved no more expense to the corporation than the old system, while they had, in addition, a general inspector of all the markets. The total amount would be £920. Mr. Woodruff said that the scheme proposed by Mr. Ridley met with his approval to a very considerable extent. He had no objection now to try the general principle of a superintendent over all the markets ; neither had he before, further than that he was unwil ling that one man should be appointed at £3OO a-year to do:what another man had been appointed to do for £270. Circumstances, however, had now changed the ground completely. There was one thing certain, that the council and the town would expect them to make the best arrangement they could to prevent a repetition of such disgraceful work ai had been going on at the markets. No part of the corporate affairs was so disgraceful as that connected with the markets ; but he thought it would be found that the committee from time to time had exercised a considerable control, although they had, unfortunately, some rogues to deal with. He had no doubt the change now proposed would be of considerable benefit to the corporation Mr. Holden wished to correct Mr. Woodruff. Mr. Luya received £270 as superintendent of St. JOhn's Market, but it was further proposed Lb appoint a man at £3OO to superintend the whole of the markets. A deputation of farmers and others attended before the committee, in reference to the advisabitity of using Williamson-square as an auxiliary wholesale market. Mr. J. R. Jeffery, on behalf of the deputation, said when they last waited on the committee, they were told that the committee sympathised with them, but under the advice of the law-deck they had no means, legally, of ap propriating Williamson-square as a relief to Queen's-square market. He now ventured to submit to them that by a mutual arrangement they might do what the law did not enable them to do. If the owners and inhabitants of Wil liamson-square asked them to allow parties to come and occupy that square, then the only remaining question would be as to the accommodation of the public who used the square as a place of traffic. The occupiers were willing to put themselves under a written agreement to pay for the accommodation. That principle being conceded, it would be a matter of detail as to what sort of vegetables should be removed from Queen's-square. He understood there wa of a dissenting voice among the owners. _ _ s The Chairman said, wfien he mentioned the matter to one owner, he said, " - What ! transfer the nuisance from one square to another; I protest against it." The same owner added, that if his tenant gave any such perthission, he would lose no time in giving notice to the tenant to qnit the property. _ _ Mr.,Jeffery said the nuisance was occasioned in cnn seciuence of the crowding and the excess in Queen's7square. kr. Woodruff would - assist in the removal of the carts from Queen's-square. It was an absolute necessity that something should be done, and done at once. He would have less of law and more of common sense in this matter ; and having relieved Queen's-square, the next step would be to provide a large wholesale market for the accommoda tion of the whole of the trade. The want was too urgent to be put off with a frivolous objection. The Chairman asked, if they went against the advice of the Town-clerk, what position would they , stand in before the council ? Mr. Jeffery did not think any section of the community would take action against them for appropriatiniWilliaMson square. , He would like to know how they had appropriated Great Charlotte-street? • The Chairman Mr. Jeffery: under a bve-law; : It is appropriated under bye-law. Why not appropriate Williamson-square The Chairman : Because Williamson-square was laid' out and adopted before the period when the act was , passed under which they were uow.working. The deputation then withdrew 31r- Woodruff sug o opinion of the Town-clerk a, ?.sted that they •had better ask the in on the subject, with the view to coming to some arrant ement Mr..Ridley said he knew tlit Mr. Lowndes, proprietor of the Stork Hotel, would newer consent to any market being established in Williamson-square. The subject then dropped. Mr. Shimmin then brought forward his new plan of a rent roll, explaining how he proposed to have it kept so that it might form an efficient check. The following is an explanation of the new book. The first column was intended for the No. of shop, stall, &c., consecutively, as at present with six or seven duplicaie numbers, which caused con fusion.—Seci Third : Name of tenant —Fo Fifth : Quarterly rental of p!opefty Description tional rental. - Seventh Eight : Total charge A.rrears from previous quarter. —Next the amount due per week; thirteen weeks in succession ; after which amount of rent collected from each tenant, mpty,_ reduction, and tlken total discharge, which then -follow must balance with the amount or charge against the super intendent or collector ; and in order that this might answer for an arrear book also, two additional columns were added, shewing arrears excused, and arrears carried forward to next quarter. This would enable the committee to see every thing at a (- 1 'e, if this book were kept posted up, and .ist upon being done every week, so that 'lnt at traud would be detected in one week.

Mellor said he thought-they ought to entertain the proposition, as it emanated from a gentleman of experienc e in such maters. He for one would support Mr. Shimmin, and, he did hope every means would be adopted to prevent the possibility of a recurrence of what had recently taken place. To rely upon the suggestions of the paid servants of the corporation was a fallacious principle, and he thought the plan ought to emanate from the committee. Woodruff was surprised at Mr. Shimmin, because he was one of a committee which agreed , to a book embracing •nearly all-that was now proposed. • • - Mr. Shimmindenied that he saw the book in qnestion till last week. Mr. Tweedie, treasurer, was called in, but, on being asked his opinion, he said it would be necessary to give him time to look into the matter, and he would then report on the subject to the committee. Mr. Shimmin objected to the committee delegating to their officers a duty which they clearly ought themselves to discharge. After some further discussion, it , was decided, on the motion of Mr. Woodruff, that the matter should stand over for the present, until the new appointments had been made, and the treasurer had reported further upon the scheme proposed by Mr. Shimmin. This concluded the business. LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Yesterday Bt• FORE MR. MANSFIELD, Tore MOORE'S MELODY! , —A tempestuous looking indivi dual, who gave his name as Tom Moor; was brought up by officer 602, on the following charge. "Quills upon the fretful porcupine" were nothing, compared to the red hair on the skull of Tom Moore. His beard was also of the same sanguinary hue, and stood out from his chin in a horizontal position. His eyes rolled about like a pair of model oscil lating steam engines. The officer said, at half-past nine on Saturday night, I heard a great noise in Great Crosshall street, and on going forward I saw the prisoner rushing from one side of the street to the other like a demon. He had only a pair of boots and an old shirt on him, and of all the people I ever saw, he surpassed them in wildness. He roared like a lion, and leaped like a tiger, and dashed about worse than any madman. I advised him to be quiet, and offered to let him go home, but this made him ten times worse, and the assistance of six or seven officers had to be obtained before he could be got to the station, where he tore the old shirt off his body, and kicked the old boots, off his feet. He kept the whole station in an uproar all night by his yelling Mr. Mansfield : Well, Moore, what have ,you to say to this ? Tom Moore : 1 have only to say that it's all an invention. I was only singing a melody when I was going home ; no harm in Ringing a melody that was made by a namesake of mine, and hadn't I a right to be in my shirt sleeves, if I liked ? Was he drunk, officer ? Officer : He was wild, mad, screechin g c , drunk. Mr. Mansfield ordered the " melodist " to pay 5s and costs, or to be im prisoned for three days ; and, in case of the alternative, Mr. Moore and his melodies may turn into maladies on the merry go round. DANGEROUS ASSAULT BY A FEMALE. --A Scotch girl, named Mary Campbell, charged another girl, named Mary Anne Lavett, for having cut and wounded her. The com plainant said, on Saturday, the prisoner came to where she lodged, in Ford-street, and commenced a quarrel with another girl in the house. The witness requested her to desist, as the other girl was drunk, whereon the 'prisoner seized a jug , and struck her a v i o l en t bl ow on th e b ac k o f the head, breaking both the jug and her head at the same time. Not content with that, she seized a knife and struck her on the forehead, inflicting a serious wound. A surgeon, who dresssed the wounds, said they were serious, and the woman was in great danger at the time, as she bled pro fusely. He did not think her life was now in danger. The prisoner was sent to gaol for six months, with hard labour. A LONG KNlFE.—David Roche, a shoemaker, was charged by John M'Nulty and William Hart with having attempted to cut their heads off with a most formidable-looking knife, about 21 feet long. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prosecution, and stated that on Saturday night about half-past twelve, the prisoner went to the shop of M'Nulty, who is a shoe maker in Park-lane,' and pulling out the knife now produced, cried out, " You ---, I have you, and will take your head off," at the same time making at him with the knife. At that time Hart came up, and attempted to prevent him from carrying his threat into execution, when the prisoner ran at him with the knife, and attempted to put it into his body. The policeman (693) then came up and drew his staff, and the prisoner then dropped the knife, and was taken into custody. It appeared, said Mr. Cobb, that the knife was stolen out of a cookshop in the locality a short time before. M'Nulty was examined, and proved the above facts, and Hart stated that he never saw either of the per sons before Saturday night, when he saw the prisoner rnn at M'Nulty with the knife, and he ran at him, and cried, " Oh, don't," when the prisoner turned on him, and swore he would have his head off, and, added the witness, only I happened to be very sharp on my legs, he would have finished me ; for he chased me a good deal, until the officer stopped him. The prisoner cross-examined M'Nulty, who said : Yon worked for me for 16 months. 'Prisoner : Did you not g ive me a character for three years, the ti me I was up here for beating a policeman?—No ; for 16 months I did, but I did not know your character at that time. Mr. Cobb said the prisoner was only just out of jail, where he had been for a month, for an assault on M'Nulty. The prisonr was ordered to find bail in X5O to keep the peace. or in default 12 months. CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—Detective-officer Rigby brought up an Italian sailor, named Antonio DeSilva, on a charge of having stolen £lB 103. from another Italian, named Emanuel Desent. Mr. Cobb was for the pro secution, and Mr.. Black for the prisoner. The parties boarded in the house of Mr. John Howard, 57, Mill street,, and it appeared that the prisoner got paid off at the Sailors' Home, with £54 10s., the proSecutor having the other sum (hid own money) in his pocket. The charge was preferred because the prosecutor lost his money in the house, and the, prisoner was about to get married, and because he had laid out more money for that event than he had received at the Sailors' Home. This was the whole case, and it occupied the court for a long time, between two learned gentlemen engaged at either side. Mr. Bluck made a forcible, speech, and dwelt with great energy and pathos on the persectition of the prisoner, who had been snapped froM the happiness of his marriage, by the machinations of people who had robbed the prosecutor, but who now sought to turn it over on the poor Italian. The prisoner was sent for trial. CHARGE OF FELONIOUS AssA.uvr.-:-:James Mawdsley, a boatman-on the Wigan canal, was cliarged - for having com mitted, a felonious assault on Elizabeth Langton, the wife of a flat-master, on the same canal. Mr. Black was for the prisoner. The alleged transaction took place about three months ago in some brick-fields "at the North-end of the town, and although Mr. Bluck strongly repudiated the charge, yet the prisoner was sent for trial, as his Worship said the case was peculiarly one fora jury. BEFORE MESSRS. - ATKIN AND ANDERSON CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST THREE POLICEMEN.—John Molloy Sum, shipwright, 11, Clarke-street, Park, summoned three policemen, named Connolly, 777; Potts, 782; and Ingham, 784, for havinf , assaulted him. Mr. Bluck appeared for the prosecution, and'Mr. Cobb for the defendants. This affair arose out of a case that was fully reported in our paper of last Wednesday. The facts were these : - On Saturday week, the complainant, along with his brother-in-law (a man-of-war's-man), were going home to the Park, when the latter had some altercation with a third man ; the sailor took off his cap and handker chief, when the complainant took up these articles, and went to put away the other man, when the officers, according to the prosecutor's statement, rushed up at him. and charged him with stealing the cap and handkerchief. He refused to give them up, when the officers Mid on him, and beat him furiously, Connolly and Potts being the worst. The com plainant got away, and on the Monday following he took out summonses for the assault against the officers. In the meantime the constables got a warrant for the arrest of Molloy, who was brought bef or e M r . M ans fi e ld on T ues d ay , when several persons were examined pro and eon, and Mr. Mansfield, on hearing the whole case, discharged him, and now came on the hearing of the summonses against the police. The prosecutor was examined, and proved the above - facts. On cross-examination by Mr. Cobb, the witness said he was once fined lOs for having assaulted the police. Catherine Jackson and Ellen Wood burn proved the assault; Mr. Bluck said, he had several other witnesses to prove the same facts, but he did not think it necessary to call them. Mr. Cobb then addressed the court, and said, that Potts was severely hurt by Molloy, that he was under the doctor's care ever since. He argued that the fault, in the first instance, was on the part of Molloy, and contended that the police were justified .in acting as they did to suppress the row. He called 'Richard Harris, who, it was said, was the man who originated the quarrel with the .sailor, and the witness stated that he was knucked down by the sailor first. Mrs. Simons swore she saw Molloy knock down one of the officers first of all. On cross-examination by Mr. Bluck, she said, 777 struck Molloy after he was struck. The magistrates said, they regretted that the police did not take out a summons in the first instance for Molloy, instead of a warrant, for had the police done so, the chances were that he would h ave b een punished. They dismissed the complaint. CURIOUS APPRENTICE CASE. = John Burrows, a respect able looking youth, 19 years of age, summoned :Messrs. Charles and Alfred Batten, pawnbrokers, Mill-street, for refusing to teach him his business, as an apprentice to the .art, trade, and industry of a pawnbroker. Mr. Bluck ap peared for the complainant. He said, the young man was .;,T.. 1 apprentice to the defendants (the fi r m o f B a tt ens and 'lines). He was bontid . to thein for seven years under an indenture. He had served faithfully and honestly for over three and a half years, but, about the 9th of. May last, he was at mice, and without any reason or cause, suddenly driven away from the house of business. He (Mr. Bluck) THE NORTHERN TIMES TUESDA.I., JUNE 28, 18i9 did not wish to enter into matters-that li ou t i probably be disagreeable to all parties; but as every' means had failed to have an arrangement made in this case,' he was obliged to state certain . facts. Mr. Alfred Batten, who was one of the partners, and who resided on the premises, had a daughter, an the 'young man took' a liking to her, and she took a great -fancy to him. He was - fully as good and as respectable (if not more so) as Mr. Batten: Young people, no doubt, will now and then be talking to each other, without the consent of their parents. The young couple got married without the consent of their parents, and their stolen love was concealed for some time, " but murder will out," and, although the act was not one of murder, it was found out, and on the discovery the young man was desired to quit the house instantly, which, of course, he did. He was refused a character, so that he might be enabled to procure another situation, and his only resource was to compel the defendant's- to take him back until the expiration of his time, and teach him his business. He (Mr. Bluek), would not go into further private or family affairs, and it was with pain he went thus far, but all attempts at an arrangement had heretofore failed, and this was the dernier ressort. Mr. Charlesß atten contended that the young man had broken the contract by going away and getting another situation for two or three days; that he also had broken it by neglect and disobedience about writing tickets and the like ; and, after a long discussion (the young man having been examined), which fOr the sake of all parties we think it better not to pub,lish, the case was allowed to stand over for a week, so that some arrangement might be come to in a manner satisfaotory to all concerned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CRICKET BIRKENHEAD VICTORIA v. PRINCE'S-PARK . . A well-contested match was played on Saturday last, 16th inst., between the Birkenhead Victoria and the Prince's Park Cricket Clubs (second elevens), on the ground of the latter in Prince's Park. The match was decided by the first innings, the Victoria Club winning by nine runs. Score : • 'First Innings. VICTORIA. Second Innings. S. Windsor—c Drawbridge b Cook.. 2 Run out 0 J.

Mr. Ward used a 10-;cage, and Mr.- Heathcote a 14, both doable-barrels, and the use of the two allowed. The fol'owing is the score, from which it will be seen that Mr. Ward won by four birds':— Total. Hon. Dudley Ward .1 Q 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1111111 1 120 lion. G.H.

There is little if any change to notice itl the general tone of the Cotton Trade. To-day, there was a steady demand at Saturday's prices. The sales were 6,000 bales, including 1,000 on speculation and for export. COTTON STATEMENT. (From the New York Shippiny List, June 14.) Total To Receipts. Clearances. Gt. Britain.

The following was the business done : —Chester and Birkenhead, 737 0 731, 74 ; London and Noith West ern, 90 ; Midland, 98T-, ' • Dovers, 204- ; Great Western of Canada, 14 9-16; Midland 41 per cents, 142; Chester and Holyhead 5 per cents, 119. The Produce Markets have undergone no change of moment. There is, perhaps, a greater demand for Sugar, but prices are well supported. In Molasses and Rum a moderate business has been done, and a cargo of Rio Coffee, afloat for a near port, has been placed at 48s 6d per cwt. for good firsts. Of Rice 2,000 bags have found buyers at 12s ; 600 bags Salt petre, to arrive, are also reported at 48s 6d per cwt. for five per cent. The stock of Sugar in Liverpool on Saturday last was 24,372 tons, of which 8,186 were 8.P., and 16,186 foreigns, against 23,932 tons in 1858, of which 8,682 were 8.P., and 15,250 tons foreign. The confirmation of the decisive character 'of the Franco-Sardinian victory has stregthened the hope that the war will not be of long duration, and caused a fresh rise of about ! per cent. in the Funds. The usual partial relapse afterwards took place, and the market did not close at its best, thoughfirm in prices. Consols at the close were quoted as follows, viz., 92-3- to 924 ; Exchequer Bills,, 22 to 25 ; Bank Stock, 219 to 221 ; and the New Threes, 931 to 93:4. Foreign Stocks left off steadily as they began. Banks, Mines, and Miscellaneous Shares much the same. The London Railway Share Market opened at about the closing prices of Saturday, and left off firm. The tone of the market is good, but hardly any business is doing. Lombardo-Venetians were good.

The letters, per the America, delivered to-day, in form us that the New York Money Market was becoming more stringent ; the Banks were curtail ing their Loans, and rates of Discount were higher. Exchange on London was also looking up. In Cotton, there had been a slight reaction, and prices had gradually advanced, Midland Uplands being. quoted at 1 l&c. per lb. At New Orleans, middling was quoted, on the 15th, at 110. In' Breadstuffs, business was dull ; and the same remark applies to Provisions, Rice, and other Produce. The new scheme of the Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, is now before the 'public, for raising £600,000 new capital, by the issue of prefe rence shares of £5 each, bearing a guaranteed interest of 8 per cent. per annum. The new shares are to have the following privileges : Guarantee of the British Government, 8 per cent. per annum ; subsidy from the British Government, £20,000 per annum ; subsidy from the United States Government, £14,000 per annum ; agreement with the New York and Newfoundland Company, conferring on the Atlantic Company exclusive traffic arrangements with the entire telegraphic system of Canada and the United States. The Directors state that they have found highly responsible parties willing to manufacture and submerge the cable, and who will guarantee under heavy penalties its efficient working for a period of thirty days. With this prospect, and the carrying out of the suggestion for the insurance of the cable when- completed, the invitation now made by the Directors to the original shareholders and the public, to subscribe for this new capital, seems likely to meet with success. An increased business is still reported in the general Money Market, partly in consequence of numerous payments in connection with railway and other objects, which have to be provided for during the next few days. A large aggregate amount is absorbed for this purpose, which, in addition to the preparations necessary for the commercial engage. ments arriving at maturity early next month, and the liquidation Of half-yearly accounts, has imparted more firmness to the market. Those who engage in discount business, always endeavour' to enforce higher terms whenever the, least- opportunity is presented; but up to the present time it cannot be said that any decided change in the general condition of the market has occurred, because the rates demUnded are still below the minimum quotatibri in Threadneedle street, and the available supplies are largely in excess of commercial and other requirements. The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks will commence to-morrow, and terminate on Thursday. The 311,0001. in Australian gold by the Suffolk, Shalimar, and Annie Wilson readied London on Saturday, of which 60,0001. was sent into the Bank, and about 100,000/. was taken for transmission to the Continent. The steamers Hercules and Kief, which are due from St. Petersburgh, are known to have a total of at least 80,000/. in gold. The Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada announce the half-yearly interest on their preference bonds and ordinary 6 per cent. debentures. The interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on the consolidated stock will, be paid in 7 per cent. debentures. A great sensation was produced this morning by news of the important victory announced from Paris, as a , just account, gained by the allies. The Funds, which opened at an advance of &per cent. soon experienced a farther rise of I per cent., principally upon purchases to cover previous speculative sales. Towards the close a partial relapse occurred, but the latest quotations here still ti per cent. above those of yesterday. The period when diplomacy may step forward between the contending forces, is.earnestly looked for. In the other departments of the Stock Ex change the immediate tendency was decidedly favourable. £311,000 Australian gold reached London to-day, of which £6,000 was sent into the Bank, and about XlOO,OOO was taken for transmission to the Continent.—Dady Sews City Article, Saturday Evening. The news of 'the - battle' on the Mincio - has caused. an improvement in the 'Funds, owing to a dispesition on the part of the speculators to assume that it may' have, been sufficiently decisive to lead to inimeOiate negociations for peace. Money was again rather mo re i n demand to-day, but not at rates suffieielltly high to lead to any increase of applications at the Bank. It is stated from Paris that large quantities of diamonds , andetlieri,Valiiables are finding,their way to' that market, chiefly from - Anstria and other parts of Germany, and that there is a comiderable exportation; of five franc pieces in retura.---4Vines CitY Article, Saturday Evening. The Daily Hews says, the victory of the allies caused an increased business to be done on Saturday in the silk market. THE BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS show that the total exports in April, 1859, were £1,872,297 more than in April, 1858; these in May, 1859. present an increase of only £122,096 compared with May, 1858. For the five months, however, the difference in. favour of the present year is still as much as £9,110,897, or 21 per cent. LIVERPOOL PRODUCE MARKET.— JuNE 27.

" Ah, be gar," said the Frenchman, there be von grand difference between you and_ me, for you Irishmen are used to it." CHILD WITH A COLOSSAL HEAD.--We have seen (says an American paper) a child of Edgar and Marinda Ball,. whose head is a perfect monstrosity. The child is two-and a-half years of age, and apparently in' good health. Its body and limbs are of the ordinary size of children of that age, - and well formed; but the head is a wonder ? being enormously enlarged, measuring thirty . inches directly around it, and thirty-two inches over it from the front of the chin, and twenty-eight and a-half inches, measuring from the occiput around the forehead. The head is still growing, and the child is free from those stupid, drowsy attacks experienced by those suffering from disease of the brain. The child is the most perfect lusus nature that we have ever seen. CHANGING A SHILLING IN CIMICII.--A short time ago (says the Montrose Review) at a collection in the church of a neighbouring parish for a charitable object, a rather laughable incident occurred. A certain farmer, gifted with no inconsiderable share of this world's goods, had one shilling in his pocket - a sum which he thought too large .to bestow in charity—and he determined on giving half of it. What was he to do ? He had nowhere to get it changed. When the collector came round, he put in his shilling, and unceremoniously seized hold of the ladle, when a ,violent Struggle ensued, which ended in the thrifty farmer becoming possessed of his coveted sixpence in change. The congrega tion were scarcely able to restrain their laughter at this ludicrous proceeding.

ALAS, Poou LosT ONE !—The attention of the New York papers has been attracted to the discovery of the body of a handsome young woman, known in theatrical circles as Fanny Deane, on the beach at Fort Hamilton. She was the, wife of an Englishman, named Halsey, of highly respectable connections. Her husband's explanation was to the effect that he had detected her in a criminal intrigue, and that, fearing the consequence, she had committed suicide. The relatives of the deceased, however, deny that the deceased was inconstant, and accuse her husband of having neglected her. Halsey is said to have held a com. mission in the British army. _ PADDY'S IVlOri;u.=—Anknglish contemporary, who must surely have telegraphic communication with the United States, relates the following story :—An Irishman was last week charged with having violently assaulted a Philadel phian.

Bedad, I did' so," promptly answered the accused. " Well, - sir, that is direct, at all events. Now will you tell me, in as brief a way as possible, w h at mot i ve brought you here ?"
