THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. Considering the publicity lately given, in our columns, to an official correspondence which took place last autumn in Honolulu, of the Sandwich Islands, and the importance it is likely to exercise on the rumoured question of the anuexion of those Islands to the United States, it must be interest ing to our readers to know something of one of the principal actors, and to be made aware of the highly respectable character of Mr. Robert Crichton Wylie, who, at present holds the portfolio of the foreign secretaryship of the Hawaiian Govern ment. _ . Mr. Wyllie is the son of one of that respectable and substantial class of men, who have conferred on Scotland much of its intrinsic worth—an inde pendent heritor ; or, as they were wont to be called in days of yore, a " Bonnet Laird,"—:was born, at his father's residence, near Dunlop, in Ayrshire, about the commencement of the present century, and he soon distinguished himself at a school in the neighbourhood. Fortunately, for young Wyllie—and many more similarly situated—the present popular incumbent of St. Enoch s, Glasgow, the Rev. Dr. Barr, was then industriously working himself into notice and celebrity; and as a means to this end, occupied him self in teaching a limited number of pupils in one of the adjacent towns. The subject of our memoir was placed under Mr. Barr's charge, who soon recog nised in his pupil a Mind and talents of no com mon order, and dedicated more than usual atten tion to his instruction ; while it is gratifying to know, that the unequal relation of master and scholar gradually transformed itself, in later years, into that of friendship and mutual esteem. Mr. Wyllie having chosen the- medical profession to be that of his future career, he passed from Ayrshire to College, and after the usual course of study took out his diploma as a surgeon, and in following up this course, chose Chili as the field of his labours. He did not practice long at Valparaiso ; his cha racteristic shrewdness having soon revealed to him that, in those incipient days of the independency of those countries, there was more to be made by commerce than by medicine. Having, therefdre. resolved to " throw physic to the dogs," he purchased a small vessel, loaded her with suitable Bri tish and American manufactures, and carried them to the coast of Mexico. There he met with great success, and ballasting his small vessel with copper, he set out for Calcutta with the specie proceeds of his first adventure. Meeting there with many friends, he had little difficulty in selling his Chilian vessel, and in mak ing a still better investment, with which, on one of the large Calcutta ships, he returned to Mexico; and entering into partnership with one of the rich est and most influential natives on the coast, ho took up his residence in San Sebastina, and, in a few years, by their united exertions and enterprise, Mr. Wyllie amassed a fortune sufficient to enable him to return home, and enjoy society much more congenial to the cultivated state of his mind and to his aspirations. For many years subsequent to 1831, he was known in the city as a successful dealer in foreign securities, and had his office in Pinner's Court, Old Broad-street. In the metropolis of this coun try, as in other places, he soon brought himself into respectable notice. His practical and accurate knowledge of foreign countries, and their financial resources—especially those in America which had won their independence from Spain—his perspica city and assiduity in unravelling financial state ments, however mystified by interested parties, and his indefatigable attention to business, soon placed him amongst those in the first rank of dealers in foreign loans—perhaps the most influ ential class in the city. To Mr. Wyllie they were chiefly indebted for the memorable classification—the various borrowing governments into paying—" and repudiating states and countries." His pamphlet on this absorbing subject at the time will not soon be forgotten. It completed his reputation ; and when the re pudiating system had assumed so menacing a gravity, such as to embarrass the fortunes of many, Mr. Wyllie was one of the commissioners chosen by the committee of American bond-holders to proceed, accompanied by some of the most respectable men of the city, to the United States, and endeavour to prevail on the local governments of the repudiating states, to change their system, and to amend their legislation on so impolitic a procedure. After fulfilling what he considered his part of the onerous duty thus laid on him, rendered doubly interesting to himself from the deep stake which he held in American societies, he proceeded to Mexico to re-visit his old haunts ; and there meet ing with Colonel Miller, then on his way to assume the honourable post of British consul-general at the Sandwich Islands, with whom he had been on terms of intimacy when Colonel Miller served in the South American army, Mr. Wyllie was induced to accompany him, it is believed, more from a desire to visit these remote islands, and to proceed home from them by way of China or India as oppor tunities might occur. On reaching the islands, Mr. Wyllie found them in that transition state, which to a mind like his, enthusiastic for improvement, and for doing good to his fellow creatures, was deeply interesting ; and admiring the Haweiian race, as superior to the general run of the Pacific islands, they en listed his sympathies, and he at once threw him self, with all his acquirements, experience, and energies into their cause. About this time the Sandwich Islands had assumed the liberal, popular form of constitutional government, and Mr. Wyllie accepted one of the secretaryships, the portfolio, we believe, of the home department. In this branch of the execu tive his labours were unremitting, and crowned with such success, that. in 1847, it was estimated there were more accurate statements, both of the trade and agriculture of these islands, than of any country in Europe ; and more children at school, in proportion to the population, than even there are in France. Recognising the benefit to be derived from the press, of having an organ of the government, and ft means of communicating freely amongst the people, and the several islands of the group, Mr. Wyllie applied his influence to originate, and, sub sequently in keeping up, the Polynesian, a paper which does every credit to its originator and to the government by which it is fostered. His influence was also brought to bear on the establishing of a free public library at Honolulu—the selection in which is excellent, and consists of many volumes. Latterly, the charge of the foreign relations of the Hawaiian group has been confided to Mr. Wyllie. The firmness and energy which he displayed, a year or two ago, in settling the pretensions brought forward by the commander of the French marine in those waters, afforded one proof of his decision of character, love of independence, and determina tioa to preserve the rights and privileges of the government intact ; and the late stand which he has singly and so successfully made against the en croachments of the United States, authorises the to expect that so long as Mr. ILULUS portfolio of f oreen, • no surrender will be to their leviathan neighbours, of one jot or tittle of the integrity of the Hawaiian group, although they may, like a cluster of ripe grapes, have been dangling in brother Jonathan's eyes , and dazzling his vision for some time past. Nay, from what we know of Mr. Wyllie's procedure on former occasions, we would venture to predict that, ifleft to act, and gets fair play, the Scotch laird n ill clap his " Ayrshire bonnet " on Mr. LUTHER SEVERANCE, and extinguish for ever both him and his hopes of annexation.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. Sin,—As one of the unfortunate dupes who were induced to take shares in the Boscarne and On sloW Mines, I, with many others among your readers, acknowledge'your attention in bringingbe fore the public in a condensed form, the proceed ings of Messrs. Bennett, Carr, and Co., and their Liverpool agents, Messrs. Harrison and Co. Your correspondent " Nonconformist," has in his letter to-clay, opened the trenches, and he may rest assured that he will not lack either money or zeal in having the matter most fully investigated and exposed to the ordeal of public opinion, not only through the columns of an independent press, but still more to the searching scrutiny of actions at law, (now pending), that you and the public at large may know the value to be placed on the " gentle men of high standing," whose opinions you have partly adopted without knowing the full merits of the case.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " MINOS." Liverpool, Nov. 26, 1853 THE AGE AND SOME OF ITS DELUSIONS LETTER NO IL EDUCATION : POPULAR AND POLITE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. Sir,—Before I come to the polite education subject, upon which there is much to be said, I must call your attention to some of the most remarkable errors in the system by which at present our leading personages in this town, and most others, attempt the task of fastening instruction upon the public mind. Ido not profess in this letter to deal with more than some of the details. Even if these abuses which I venture to point out now were remedied entirely, there would still remain, what I shall hereafter endeavour to show, the great defect and delusion which lies at the root of the system, the point at which we blunder in the very com mencement of the work. I object to the manner in which popular instruction is attempted in this town, and many others, because it is mixed up with au all-prevailing leaven of the patronage system. This alone would for ever prevent a great body of the work ing.a classes from approaching the places where education is to be doled out to them in rations. Why can nothing be done hen unless some important individual will consent to come and give it his countenance, and kindly patronise those poor people ? If all this reading of books, and listening to lectures be the great necessary of life, do you think the people cannot find that out for themselves, without having some eminent public, political, or municipal character come forward and declare his approval ? Do not imagine that I would undervalue the goodness of some of the great thinkers of the present day who have sometimes come from the seclusion of their studies and stet upon the public platform as the easiest means of transmitting to the people even a few grains of that pre cious dust which their patient hands have dug from the mines of the past and the present.. This is merely the teacher instructing the ignorant. This is not the patron smiling approvingly upon the humble efforts of the follower, and descending from his eminence to pat him on the back and say "go in and win." Against this system I protest, and I believe there is not a working man in Liverpool who, if he had time to think upon it, would not protest against it also. In this town you cannot even let the poor man enjoy a pleasant evening at a concert, where his ears might be delighted —ay, and his soul moved by music—like the ballads of Burns; but when you have got him fairly caught within doors you collect people to make speeches to him. What would you think, Mr. Editor, if when you went to enjoy the music of Mozart and the voice of Mario, I or some one else got up and insisted upon haranguing you in depressing platitudes about the improvement of your mind ? Do you think the working classes are passionately fond of hearing speeches ? If they are, do you not think the sooner educated people endeavour to cure them of that partiality the better? And now let me say a word to the working classes. Let me tell them—if there aro any of them led away by the dream—that, speaking in general terms and of course admitting some exceptions, the noble lord, the honor able member, or the right worshipful gentleman who ad addresses them from the platform, doea not care in the least whether they become educated or not, does not care about anything at the moment except the speech he is making, the cheers he is receiving, and the full report he hopes to see in to-morrow morning paper. And even if he were as ardent in their cause as he says he is, let me tell them that he is not possessed of any remarkable educational secret which he might impart. Very likely he is just as far off, in his own degree, from education as they are, only with this material difference, that he probably thinks he knows everything, while they will readily admit they know nothing. And finally—but let this be only whis pered secretly and with due humility—perhaps, my working friends, this great individual, with his learning, his oratory, and his precepts, is not so much a superior being as you imagine. Perhaps if a metamorphosis were to take place, you might not be very much the gainers in the long run. There are noblemen, I venture to assure you, who ace not virtuous, members of parliament who are not -wise, and mayors who might have profited more by their school maste:s. Let me give an appropriate example. The cause of popular education has lately gained a valuable accession in the person of Sir Nominis Umbra, who has undertaken, I perceive by this paper, to deliver any number of lectures upon any or all subjects addressed to the people. Sir Nomiais Umbra, renowned through every capital in Europe, for his foppishness, his blunders., his ignorance, and his pro fligacy, lectirea upon education, temperance, and continence ! Is it because any one imagines Sir Nominis Umbra can possibly know anything which it would be useful for any one else to know, or say anything which one might profit by hearing ? Nothing of the kind. But he has at least the shadow of a mighty name; and it is not supposed that the people ever care anything about education for its own sake, only that they may be enticed into it by a man with a name. And the very worst feature of the whole is, that too many have faith in this thing, and will not even lift themselves out of the mire unless some patronising Jupiter stoops from his cloud to help them. Next, let me numbly remonstrate, you make education too formidable a piece of business. Nothing slight, trifling, or amusing must be in any way mixed up with it. Heavy, sombre, and dark, sits your ideal of knowledge, blinking at the gay sunshine, liko Minerva's owl. Just think what con ception a poor man must form of that system which comes to him represented by an afternoon lecture on a Sunday. I would implore of some popular instructors to read and take to heart a very brief paragraph which appeared in this journal some days back, regard.ng the free library at Man chester. See what a system of reading these incessant work ing men cut out for themselves. The rod of the instructor was no longer over them—they read what they liked, and what was their selection ? SnAssrEnE, Scow, DEFOE, Swirr, ay, even the Arabian Nights ! They would not read Hu= or CLARENDON ; and made as feeble an effort at getting. through ALISON as you, Mr. Editor, or I would have made. Would you have wished it otherwise ? Do you think Ham let, Ivanhoe, Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver—even at the farthest extreme, Aladdin and the Vonderful Lamp —are not more likely to touch some chord of thought, and convey some idea of the happiness and the profit to be derived from books, in the simple, ignorant, child-like brain of the working man, than toiling through Amsow, or falling exhausted, like the broken-down camel, amid the dry wastes of LiNaAnn ? There is a valuable lesson, as old as the days of /ESOP, but very little regarded, which may be drawn from the selection of these Manchester working men. You must treat the un educated like children, and begin at the beginning. I heard a reverend instructor, not very long since, gravely tell of a little girl, seven years old, whom he had drilled into repeat ing a whole Epistle of the New Testament, from end to end, Infore she could read a letter of the alphabet. Poor little parrot. Do you think she will ever be able to appreciate with her heart the immortal beauty of these words of ration ? No more than you or I comprehend the real poetic merit or or Horace. I scarcely know wile uue reels more inclined to laugh or grow sad at the mag pie chatter of the taught and the owl-like gravity of the teacher. I protest against education being made so irksome and so solemn—when of its own nature it is soothing and bright. It is humbl e , t oo, and will sometimes speak with other lips than those of the grave historian and the sage of the mathematics. Because there are children and ignorant men in the world, it has condescended to appear in a lighter and more winn;ng fo,-at sometimes. And die greatest instructors the world has ever known have recognised and admitted this. But some of our poor supernumeraries upon the stage of knowledge, our candle-snuffers at the altar of science, will not have it so. It is not long since I heard of a lecturer in this town, speaking to an audience chiefly of mechanics, who endea voured to sneer away the fame which must have reached their cars, of one who has done more to fill all hearts with tenderness for the poor and a true k now l e d ge of them, than all the public platform declaimers of E ng l an d . B ut he con descended to:amuse as well as to teach,and the lecturer would have none of him. I felt pained that in an audience com posed of those to whom chiefly he has dedicated his genius, a public teacher should have been found who could endeavour to raise a slighting thought in the mind of the working man of England, against the kindly spirit, the genial heart of CHARLES DICKENS. Until those defects are remedied,in van you strive to gain the hears of the people. If education cannot come to us unless lead by a patron's hand, we despise it : if it turns upon us the cold, harsh aspect of a mediaeval ascetic, we shrink ir sCnctivel7 from it. There are other teachers besides you who now pro_23s to teach—there are men who have thought and written for us as well as for you. We are not so dull but we will some day find out that the books from which the best of you must learn, are open to us also, nor so poor but we shall somehow get at them. Perhaps, then we may find that those bet qualified to have intodu ced their race were not all dignitaries of the Church, the state, or corporation,--I remain, Mr. Editor, yours c., EXCELSIOR, THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. DREADFUL MURDER .AND BURGLARY IN BEDFORDSHIRE. LEIGHTON BUZZARD, Saturday Evening.—The inhabitants of this town are greatly agitated by two crimes of unusual magnitude which have happened in close succession—the first the brutal murder of an old woman, and the second the plunder of property from a jeweller's shop to the extent of about £l,OOO. The murder was perpetrated yesterday morning, in the adjoining village of Heath-and-Reach, and the robbery was effected early ,this morning from the shop of Mr. Alfred Matthews, one of the most respectable trades men of the town; but these crimes, occurring at almost the same time, have no necessary connexion. Heath-and-Reach is a long and lonely village ; a good proportion of its inhabitants may fairly be described as unusually ignorant, and wild and fanatical religious opinions distinguish many of them. Thi s requ i res t o be mentioned in the present narrative, because it may in some measure account for the extraordinary disposition of a man named Abel Burrews, who has just been conveyed to Bedford gaol on a charge of having murdered Charity Glenister, a woman 76 years of age. Burrews is a labouring man, whose tem perament inclined him to Primitive Methodism ; but it is right to say, that for the last few years he seems to have forsaken practical religion for the most dissipated kind of life, mixing up, however, his religious predilections with his numerous dissipations. On Friday morning he rose from breakfast, threatening vengeance against some person, and arming himself with a road-man's stone hammer, sought the unfortunate " Old Charity," as he called her, evidently with the intention of putting her to death. The old woman, who is in no way related to him, seems to have been pro tected for a little by a man named Adams, whom Burrews met at the top of the stairs, but Adams, having received a blow, ran off, when Burrews in the most ferocious man ner hurled the hammer on the woman's head, repeating his blows, and of course striking her to the floor and de priving her of all consciousness. A police-constable named Fowler lived in the next house, and alarmed by the occur rence, rushed to the scene of action and secured the murderer, but too late to prevent the fatal consequences of his conduct, for though the poor victim breathed for an hour or two, she never recovered her consciousness or rallied for a single moment. Fowler put handcuffs upon Burrows, and a message was dispatched to Leighton for surgical aid. The medical men found the skull in several places com pletely shattered, and proceeded to extract fragments of the bone, but without the least hope that any treatment would save the woman's life. While this process was going on, Burrews, handcuffed and in the custody of the constable, continued to stamp his foot upon tho ground, and to_ make use of such words as " Hallelujah !" " Praise the Lord ! " and similar expressions, to which he was accustomed in what may be termed his religious exercises. Superintendent Young conveyed him safely to Bedford gaol to await his examination. We need not say that an occurrence so horrible has rendered the villagers almost unfit for any other occupation than that of gazing upon the spot where the murder was committed, and speculating upon the motives or the madness which may have led to it. The housebreaking and robbery effected upon the pre mises of Mr. Matthews, is one of the most dexterous tran sactions of that kind which the annals of crime can reveal ; and it is important that the truth should be elicited, in order that tradesmen throughout the country may be upon their gaard against the visits of metropolitan thieves, and also that Mr. Matthews may, if possible, be saved from ruin by the discovery of the property stolen from his premises. His house and shop are situated in the most public part of Leighton, and he has occupied the premises for many years as watchmaker, jeweller, &c., having necessarily at all times a large amount of property intrusted to his care for cleaning and repair. On Friday night he locked up his shop and house, and with the household, consisting only of an ap prentice and a sister, retired to bed, leaving, as was custom ary, two dogs down stairs, the one loose and the other tied up. Nothing whatever disturbed the slumbers of this family—there was not even the bark from one of the dogs to create suspicion; but in the morning the apprentice, on going down stairs into the shop, found that the door shutter, which fastened inside, had already been removed, and that the watches and jewellery in the windows were gone. He in stantly proceeded to Mr. - Matthews's bedroom and asked his master if he had removed the watches and jewellery. Mr. Matthews replied, " Certainly not." " Then," said the lad, " some one has cleared them out for us." Mr. Matthews came down stairs, and upon investigating the premises, dis covered that all was gone except the clocks and other large and unwieldy articles. The thieves had opened the cases and taken everything, with the sole exception of a brooch, which seems to have fallen out of their fingers, and a small piece of a Geneva repeater ; they must have lit up the shop, and calmly, but dexterously, have packed up every article which would come within a narrow compass. It was soon discovered in what way the robbers effected an entrance, and this will show how very much the whole proceeding. was the result of arrangement. The house is three stories high. Miss Matthews slept in the top story, and in the middle were the bedrooms of Mr. Matthews and the apprentice ; below, the business premises. Adjoining the bedrooms in the middle story is a sitting-room, NI, rich fronts the street, with a window overlooking iron rails, which stand in front of the shop. One of the panes of glass in this window had been opened by an instrument, and in such a position as to admit a hand to unfasten the snap, and the person who accomplished this must have been assisted by another standing upon the iron rails. Once in the sitting-room, the thief who acted as leader would seem to have passed the bedrooms of Mr. Matthews and his apprentice, the doors of which were open, and to have gone down stairs, quieting the dogs by some chemical process, and opened the front door, and thus allowed his companion to enter. The dogs were discovered next morning still in a state of stupe faction. The articles which the thieves managed to secure comprehended 8 or 10 gold watches, about 150 silver watches, 12 gold Albert chains, 6 silver guards, with silver pencil cases, dessert spoons, table spoons, fish knifes, gold and silver jewellery, electro-plate spoons, wedding rings, &c., indeed, all the usual stock of a jeweller's shop, and which Mr. Matthews would not be able to replace for less than £l,OOO. Mr. Matthews lost not a moment in calling in the assist ance of the police. It soon came out that three persons in gentlemanly attire, reached Leighton last night, by the mail train, at half-past 10, and took up their quarters at the Sun Inn. They inquired about a mail train leaving Leighton for London in the morning, and they found there was no such means at their command. They remained in the Sun Inn till about one o'clock, and departed, saying to the landlord that they would not need sleeping accommoda tion there, as they should go elsewhere. Suspicion, of course, at once fell upon them. Inquiries were made at all the railway stations, but without avail, and Mr. Matthews, with the landlord of Sun, and a constable, proceeded to London, to give the metropolitan force the earliest informa tion of the facts. The landlord of the Sun says he shall be able to identify the men who were at his house. The only cabinet ministers absent from the council on Friday, were the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Duke of Argyle. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT SHEFFIELD.—On Thursday night the shop of Mr. Schwarar, clock and watch-maker, Westbar-green, was broken into, and gold and silver watches, &c., to the value of about £l2O were stolen. Owing to the activity of the police, within half. an-hour of the discovery of the robbery £lOO worth of the goods was recovered. The facts connected with this singular case are these :—About half-past one o'clock, a.m., police-constable Rushton, while on duty in Silver-street, saw two men lurking about, and as he approached them they ran off. Rather more than a quarter of an hour afterwards he again descried the same two men in Westbar-green, and chased them for some distance, but they escaped up a passage. As he returned along Westbar-green he found on the ground a gold watch-case. He at once concluded that the men whom he had been phasing had committed a robbery somewhere in that neighbourhood, and while proceeding down the street he saw Mr. Schwarar's shop door wide open. He imme diately aroused Mr. Schwarar, and it was then found that a large glass-case, four feet long and a foot wide, which con tained five gold watches, 23 silver watches, three gold watch-guards, five silver ones, and a number of other guards, had been stolen ; and also four or fiye other old silver watches frt.,. ..uther case which had been broken open. Sergeants Rodgers and Hatfield made an examination of the premises ; and, feeling convinced that the large glass case must be secreted somewhere in the neighbourhood, for the thieves could not have had time to carry it any distance, the officers commenced a rigorous search. TL err labours were very soon rewarded. In No. 5 court, Westbar-green, they found the glass-case with the whole of its contents untouched. It was just as it had been taken from the shop, with the exception that a small time-piece shade had been broken. The thieves had evidently been afraid to break open the glass doors in the shop, and had been disturbed while in the passage by the approach of Rushton before they had time to strip it of its contents. The only booty, therefore, which the thieves obtained was the four or five old silver watches, worth about £l5. The premises had been entered in a very easy manner. Over the shop door there is a small window which is ordinarily secured by two bolts. Somehow or other this window had been left unbolted. The thieves, therefore, met with no obstruction. Some one had been put through the window into the shop, and then the door had been unfastened. There was a young man sleeping in the room above the shop, but it appears that the thieves were so noiseless in their operations that he was not awoke. GREAT IRISH EXHIBITION.-MR. D. JONES.—The fol lowing is from Saunders's News Letter, Dublin journal : We understand that all the officers connected with the Dublin Exhibition have in the handsomest manner come forward for the purpose of presenting Mr. T. D. Jones, the financial officer, with a testimonial worthy of the occasion. The presentation consists of a handsome tea service of plate, manufactured by T. Bennett, of Grafton-street, and a mag nificent salver from the celebrated establishment of Elking ton and Mason. The salver is now engraving, and bears the following inscription :—" Presented by the officers of the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1853, to Thomas Dillon Jones, Esq. (chief financial officer), in testimony of his urbanity of manner, gentlemanly demeanour, and energy of action, In the discharge of his responsible and onerous duties.-Ist November, 1853." It gives us pleasure to find the' indefatigable exertions of Mr. Jones so highly appre ciated, and by those by whom his official experience can bo , best attested; COUNTY COURT. Y ESTERDAY. BEFORE JOSEPH POLLOCK, ESQ., JUDGE. GRAY V. DILLEMORE. —The plaintiff is a nurseryman at West Derby, and the defendant is a gardener, having a stand in St. John's Market, and the action, though nominally brought to recover £2, was in reality only for 6d., that being the sum in dispute between the parties. His Honor gave a verdict for the plaintiff, and in doing so, commented on the absurdity of parties coming into a court of justice, and ineurrinz, loss of time and costs four times the amount of the item in dispute, for so paltry a sum as sixpence. The costs, exclusive of the hearing fees, amounted to two shillings. OWEN V. BENNETT.—The plaintiff, Mr. Hugh Owen, is a builder and joiner, residing at 6, Newington, and the de fendant, Mr. John Bennett, is also a builder, residing in Radcliffe-street, Low-hill, and the action was brought to re cover £7 45., value of a quantity of sand sold to the de fendant. Mr. Smith appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. lime for the defendant, by whom it was contended that the sand had not been sold but given to him, in order to save to the plaintiff the expense of carting it away. It was also alleged that the sand was not of the value stated. His Honor gave a verdict for the plaintiff for £4. WOOD V. JARVIS.—Mr. Almond appeared for the plaintiff, who is a merchant in this town, and Mr. Hime for the de fendant, master of the " Fidget." From the statement of Mr Almond it appeared that the plaintiff had chartered the " Fidget" in March last to bring a general cargo from Nassau to Liverpool. In the bill of lading received by the plaintiff, among the items set forth as having been shipped to him, were eight hundred dozen of pine apples, and sixty six turtle ; but on the arrival here of the " Fidget," in July, only six hundred dozen of pine apples, and forty-six live, and three dead turtle were delivered. The present action was accordingly brought to recover £4O, the estimated value of the deficiency in the cargo. The captain alleged that lie had shipped 22 of the turtle for himself, and he also 'produced a receipt from the Messrs. Thompson and Son, of Nassau, which showed that he had purchased from them, and shipped on his own account, six dozen of pine apples. The case was about half heard, when, at the suggestion of his Honor, a consultation took place between the profes sional gentlemen engaged in the matter; and, after some deliberation Mr. ALMOND informed the court that they had agreed to take a verdict for the plaintiff for £22 9s. 7d., without costs. Mr. RIME observed that he thought it right to say that had the case been proceeded with, they were prepared to account satisfactorily for every item shipped. His HONOR : I am glad it has been settled, because if it had gone on it was quite clear that there might have been some imputations thrown out, which are now avoided. In recording the verdict, his Honor remarked, that this was one of those cases in which it was for the benefit of both parties to have professional assistance, as without it the case would not have been so arranged. JONES V. PARDEW. —The plaintiff is a licensed victualler and boarder in this town, and the defendant is a smith in Sheerness dockyard, Kent; and the action was brought to recover £6 18s. 6d., under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that some time since the defendant's son, who was an apprentice on board a vessel, came to this port and put up at the plaintiff's establishment. He was boarded and lodged for some time and also supplied with clothes, and on the father being communicated with, a letter was received from him stating that he would send a bill of exchange for the amount (E 6 18s. 6d.) if his son returned to him. The son did not return, and it was contended that the quasi recognition or adoption of the son's contract by the father could not be held as valid or completed. His HoNon concurred in this view, and the plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited. At Woolwich there is the large number of 28,000 ship and garrison guns arranged on the ground of the arsenal, on the south side of the stores, and upwards of 4,000,000 cannon balls and shells on the ther. REPORTED APPROACHING MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS MARY OF CAMBRIDGE.---The Gazetta di Genova of the 19th instant, copying from the Parliament° of Turin, announces the approaching marriage of H.R.H. Princess Mary of Cam bridge with Prince Napoleon, son of Prince Jerome Bona parte. We cannot, of course, certify the correctness of this report, nor should we insert it had it not gained ground among the highest circles in Loudon an 1 Paris. It would, indeed, be a singular instance of the vicissitudes of fortune and the short-sighted speculations of our greatest men if a Bonaparte should be united to a " fine d'Angleterre."— Rerald. POLICE NEGLIGENCE.—On Sunday night, as the machine man of this office was passing through Rodney-street, on his route to this office, he was knocked down by one or two drunken fellows whom he encountered on the way. Our employe was at the time keeping the middle of the street, and after he met the violence he complained to policeman 463, pointing out the men who had assaultEd him. The policeman refused either to take them into custody for an unprovoked assault, or even to ascertain, or endeavour to as certain who they were. Now, we may ask the officers, what is the use of a police force in Liverpool, if they refuse to sake any stops to prosorvo peaceable citizens from assault, or to make known the peace-breakers to the law. FATAL Gri.; ACCIDENr.—On Saturday a young man named Daniel Watkins, son of Lewis Watkins, a farmer, residing at Rumney, came to a sudden and violent end while out shoot ing. It appears that he was leaping across a ditch with his loaded gun in his hand, and on alighting on the other side he must have jarred the gun, which went off, and the whole of the charge entered his right side below the ribs, and passed through his liver into his chest. He lingered for about an hour in great agony, and then death terminated his sufferings. The charge had made a large round hole, through which the cavity of the chest might be plainly seen. This is another warning to young men against the incautious use of firearms. THE Lim Foes. —The dense fogs which have prevailed during the past week have caused considerable detention to the steamers plying between Bristol, Newport, and Cardiff. The Swift, for Cardiff, did not start from Monday to Wed nesday. The Dart missed her due time every tide from New port to Bristol. The Avon screw steamer was, however, the most unfortunate, as on her voyage from Newport to Bristol she went ashore at the round point on the Bristol river (near where the Demerara struck), in endeavouring to avoid the Jenny Jones. She remained in this position from 11 o'clock in the morning till Bat night. No injury was sustained by the vessel or passengers. The fog was so dense at the time that steamers passing were not observed by each other. WATER IN MANCHESTER.—The works are nearly Com pleted ; little more money remains to be expended, and they are expected to bring to Manchester upwards of 25,000,000 gallons of water daily. Up to the present time only 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 gallons have been received, and that quantity has been found sufficient to meet the demands for domestic, and trading purposes ; and there is little doubt that for many years to come there will be a surplus beyond the quantity required for public and domestic purposes of 15.000,000 gallons of water daily, or thereabouts, to be disposed of for trading purposes. Already an income of £14,000 is received for water sold for trading purposes ; the demand steadily in-creases, and it is confidently anticipated that in the course of a few years three or four times that amount will be annually obtained from this source.—Letter from the Town Clerk. FATAL GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION.—A man- named Jesse Turner, a blacksmith employed on the works of the North Devon Railway, now in course of construction, was killed by the explosion of gunpowder a few days ago, at a village called Dunn St. Mary, in Devonshire. It appeared that more than 4 cwt. of powder, for the prpose of blasting rocks, had been imprudently deposited in the blacksmith's shop, where the deceased was accustomed to work. A por tion of it had been removed, and in doing so it is thought that a small quantity escaped from the barrel to the ground. At all events, when the explosion occurred, there was more than 2 cwt. of gunpowder in close contiguity with the smith's forge. Whether a spark lighted on the powder sup posed to have been accidentally scattered on the ground, and, being fired, communicated with the powder in the bar rel, or whether a spark fell through the crevice of the barrel, is not known. But it appears that while the poor man was at work in the shop, a terrific explosion took place ; was blown up, his faca was dreadfully injured,, and he sustained such severe injuries that he expired shortly afterwards. A Tuniusii LADY.—One was young and pretty, with a very sweet mouth, something like Lizzy's, only fuller lips. She had very lively, bright, expressive, large dark eyes, tinged with antimony ; beautiful white teeth, with. rosy lips, a colour in her cheek, and a complexion not darker than a Spaniard's or Italian's. She wore a little skull cap, embroidered by herself in gold and silver braid, her front hair in little thin curls parted on her forehead, the rest of her tresses hanging behind in two plaits. She had a sort of loose shirt, of rose-coloured satin, reaching to the hips, with full sleeves, and fastened at the throat, very wide green satin trousers, so full that they looked like a petticoat, and a row of silver tangles, six inches deep on each arm, finished by a gold one ; silver chains round her neck, pretty gold earrings something like the Genoese filagree, but the top of each ear disfigured, and made to hang over by the weight of half-a-dozen large gold rings.—Airs. Colin Afalkenzie. BOILER-BURSTING PREVENTED.—The Nashville Banner editor has seen and examined an invention which puts it out of the power of an engineer to explode a boiler, either through negligence or purposely. This improvement pro vides the upper part of the boiler with two openings or aper tures, in addition to that for the safety valve, and the bot tom of the boiler with one. These apertures are closed by one cylinder and piston, and by two valves which are ar ranged to pass the water from the boiler on to the fire under it, when the steam gets to a given height, thus dampening down the fires . , and preventing explosion should the safety valve and engineers fail to perform their functions. This safety guard is intended to be independent of the engineer, beyond his control entirely, to be enclosed, locked up, and the key placed in possession of the captain, the inspector having previously determined the amount of pressure the boiler will bear, and adjusted the pea upon the lever accord ingly. In the experiment on Wednesday, when more steam was raised than was necessary, the extra quantity imme 7 diately lifted the guard, and the water rushed out upon the fire and put it out, soon reducing the steam to the proper point. This improvement can be adopted to the loco motive boiler, and all other steam boilers,—New York Tri bum, THE OPERATIVES AND THEIR MASTERS. The following letter appears in the Times, in reference to the memorial of the operatives of Preston which has already appeared in this journal. It is forwarded for publication by the pro. tem. secretary of the Masters' Association, Mr. John Catterall ". Sir,—Seeing in the Times a few days ago a copy of a memorial sent from the delegates of the power-loom weavers of Preston to the home secretary—which we do not con sider to give a fair account of the cause of the cessation of labour in this town—we deem it our duty to the public to notice a few of the statements therein made. "In the first place, we give a complete denial to the charge made against us as a body, that when we reduced wages in 1847, we promised to restore the same at some future period. No such promise was made by the masters generally of this town. The charge has been frequently put forth of late, and we are glad of this opportunity of denying the truth of it. " We may further state that, since 1847, at various times, advances in wages have taken place, and, taking into consi deration the diminution of the hours of labour, from 69 to 60 hours per week, the weekly earnings of the great majo rity of the operatives were higher previous to the strike than at any former period. " We need not again enter minutely into the cause of the strike, this we have previously put the public in posses sion of—those mills where it first commenced were among the highest paid in the town, the delegates stating that, after obtaining their demands in these cases, they would take the rest of the mills in detail, and so bring them all up to the same standard. "In various interviews of the operatives with their masters they appeared to have had no power to make any terms without first consulting the committee of delegates, and, consequently, the slight differences that existed were made impossible of settlement by a body of agitators, who have 'made a profit to themselves by first creating, and then widening the breach between the masters and the operatives. "To illustrate the good feeling which has always existed between the employers and employed of this town, we may state that, for the last 17 years, we have been free from any general strike, and disputes lave been of rare occurrence and of short duration. " THE COMMITTEE OF THE MASTERS' ASSOCIATION. "Preston, Nov. 21." The Price of Wheat at the present time is about double what it was at a corresponding period of the years 1834-5, and for the past 21 years wheat has not ranged so high at this season of the year as it does now. On Tuesday, during the prevalence of the dense fog, a plate-layer on the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway, at the time the express train was coming up at the rate of forty miles an hour, stepped to one side for the purpose of getting out of the way of the train, b u t b e i ng d ece ived by the fog, he walked in front of the engine, was knocked down, and killed on the spot.—York Herald. There is a talk of erecting a new theatre at Paris, near the Hotel de Ville, in the prolongation of the Rue de Rivoli, one of the finest streets in Europe. The theatre, it is said, is to be called " The People's House," and is to be set apart for the production of pieces calculated to amuse and instruct the work ing classes exclusively. —Literary Gazette. THE EARL OF GUILDFORD, AND ST. CROSS.-Mr. Watson, Q.C., the eminent barrister, has given it as his opinion that the Rev. the Earl of Guildford cannot be taken as properly appointed Master of St. Cross, and that this claim t 3 possession is therefore bad. The emoluments are about 511,000 a year, and have been held since 1805. CHARING CROSS TO IVESTMINSTER.—In some places the roadway is more like the " moraine " of a glacier than the highway to the great laboratories of law and justice in the capital of the " most favoured nation." Heavily laden waggons and carts have no chance with the gigantic ruts to be found here, and the stoppages are provokingly frequent. Having regard to the recent " improvements " in the law, the lawyers are entitled to have the way to Westminster made as seductive and easy as possible. COUNTY SEATS VACANT.—There are two county repre sentations vacant—the one, East Gloucestershire, vacated by the Marquis of Worcester, consequent on the death of his father, the Duke of Beaufort. The second is South Staf fordshire, vacated by Lord Lewisham, now Earl of Dartmouth. The liberals calculate on returning Mr. G. Holland. There is yet no candidate for Staffordshire, where the constituency was, at the revision of 1852, so large as 10,000 A case was decided on Saturday, before the Vice-Chancel lor, which will probably be interesting to our readers. A bill was filed by Messrs. Forbes and Co., East India merchants in London, against Mr. Limond, the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce at Calcutta, seeking to charge him as the inspector, under a deed of inspectorship, of the affairs of Messrs. Lyall, Mathewson, and Co., with the pay ment of them and the other unpaid creditors of that firm of such dividends as they ought, as the plaintiffs alleged, to have received under the deed of inspectorship. Judgment passed for the defendant, the plaintiffs having already received a part of the fund under the insolvency with other creditors. BELFAST AND BALLYMENA RAILWAY.—The report of the directors, which is to be submitted to the shareholders at the halt-yearly meeting, on Monday, shows, says the Belfast Mercury, a very satisfactory state of affairs. The company mid have divided 24s per share, and left a reasonable sum to go to the reserved fund ; but with a proper exercise of prudence, they recommend a dividend of 225, which will leave £l,BOO to go to the reserve fund. The previously expressed opinion of the directors was, that a sum of £2,000 per year should be set apart ; but, as the summer receipts are higher than the winter, they prefer to adopt the course which we have mentioned. The dividend at this time last year was 18s. WHAT LONDON' FOG IS MADE OP.—lf we could get a bucketful of fog analysed, we should be curious to find how much of it came from our chimneys, how much from the Essex marshes, how much from tanpits, grave-yards, sewers, the clay of Regent's-park, the mud of the Thames, and other sources which might all be abolished, and which will in time be all abolished. Our island is a misty one, it is true ; but it is not foggy in the sense of London fog. Leeds is foggy in that sense; and a few other large towns, as ill-drained, and smoky, and mismanaged as London and Leeds; but the climate of Great Britain is not to be blamed for anything worse than the blue damp mists which curl round her mountains, and ascend from her lakes, to form the lustrous white clouds that deck our spring and autumnal skies. When our spirited home secretary shall have seen that all our men of business do their duty by their neighbours as well as Messrs. Price, at their candle works, consuming all their smoke, and kindly showing all applicants how easily and certainly it may be done, we may expect to be relieved of the murkiest element of our own par ticular fog.---Londcn Paper. _ _ Oust COAL FIELDS.-LThe following is the extent of the workable area of the coal fields in the United Kingdom : Northumberland and Durham, 500,000 acres ; Cumberland, Westmoreland, and West Riding, 99,500 ; Lancashire, Flintshire, and North Staffordshire, 550,000 ; Shropshire, and Worcestershire, 79,950 ; South Staffordshire, 65,000 ; Warwickshire and Leicestershire, 80,000 ; Somersetshire Gloucestershire, 167,600 ; South Tales, 600,000 ; Scottish coal fields, 1,045,000; Irish coal fields,—Ulster, 500,000; Connaught, 200,000; Leinster, 150,000; and Munster, 1,000,000. Not less than 37,000,000 of tons are annually raised, the value of which, at the pit's mouth, is little less than £lo,ooo,ooo—at the places of consumption, including expenses of transport and other charges, probably not less than £20,000,000. The capital employed in the trade ex ceeds £10,000,000. About 400 iron furnaces of Great Bri tain consume annually 10,000,000 tons of coals, and 7,000,000 tons of iron -Stone, in order to produce 2,500,000 tons of pig iron, of the value of upwards of £8,000,000. For the supply of the metropolis alone 3,600,000 tons of coal are requiredfor manufacturing and domestic purposes ' • our coasting vessels conveyed, in 1850, upwards of 9,360,000 tons to various ports in the United Kingdom, and 3,350,000 tons were exported to foreign countries and the British possessions. About 120,000 persons are constantly employed in extracting the coal from the mines, and in some of the northern counties there are more persons at work under the ground than upon its surface. Such a trade is capable of meeting the anticipated demand from France, and if in return for our good fires we set free the pleasant wines of that country, the reciprocity will be cheerful and satisfactory. LONDON POLICE.—ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A FEMALE SERVANT. AN AWKWARD DISCLOSURE. Nary Anne Rofman, a smart looking girl in the service of Captain George Burslau, of Lordship-lane, Dulwich, was charged with stealing a towel, the property of her master, and on suspicion of stealing an eme rald ring value £l5, the property of her mistress. The captain deposed that on returning with his wife from a party, about two in the morning of the 10th instant, Mrs. Burslau took off her rings and placed them on the dressing-table, and on the following morning the emerald ring was missing. The servants all denied any knowledge of the ring, and as the prisoner in particular had the duty devolved upon her of coming into the room, suspicion rested on her, but he did not feel justified in giving her into custody. That morning, the prisoner being insolent, he ordered her to quit his house. She refused, and he was compelled to turn her out ; and on having her boxes searched by a policeman, one of a new set of towels purchased by him was found, and he then rave her into custody. A witness, who hemmed the towels, - deposed that it was one of the captain's. The prisoner assured the magistrate that the towel was her own, and that she knew nothing about the ring. On the night in question, her mas ter brought home from the party Dr. Millengen and a Mr. Hudson, and there was a quarrel, as she believed, about the doctor's attentions to her mistress at the party. The doctor was to have stopped in the house all night, and the servants believed he had done so, but on going to the room the bed was found untouched, and the doctor had disappeared no one knew how. Various prices had been set on the ring, and on each occasion it was made to increase in value. The prisoner added, addressing the captain, " There would be nothing of this had I allowed you to kiss me when you gave me the wine to drink, and told me you had purchased me the earrings you promised." The Captain (colouring) : Me want to kiss you ? Prisoner : Yes, but I wouldn't let you. The prisoner being without friends to bail her, the magis trate accepted her own - recognisances to appear on a future day, IRELAND.
