WHAT .A.DE OUR POLICE GOOD FOR? TO THE RDITOR . OF TEE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, SIR,—In a recent copy of your journal I saw an exposition of our police . I§y a " Working Man," which is anything but creditable to a force of men that ought to be the means of putting a stop to a system of iniquity that they otherwise foster. The want of attention to their duty, on the part of our police, has become proverbial ; and as the public are at the expense of supporting this listless mass, I think it is only proper that they ask—what are they good for? They are good for easy work, but where their assistance is needed, there it is denied. _ _ The boy with his marbles, or the poor ballad singer, feels the force of a policeman's duty. But our police are too well known, I think, to need any comment on such incidents of " daily observation." A short time since, I was retuning home, and passed the end of a street, in which there was a " row," or fight. I had not been there many minutes before a policeman came up. Of course I expected he would bring the quarrel to a termina tion; but, with the greatest indifference, he looked down the street, and said, " 0 ! let them fight it out," and so passed on. In coming through Law rence-street on Christmas-eve, I happened to see the commencement of a general quarrel among some young men, the result of having indulged too freely with potent liquors. Four police were on the spot in a short time ; a few minutes before, one man shouted " Orange and blue," whiCh so ex cized the feelings of another, that he cried out, " Now, Harry, where's your knife ?" The same per son was almost within the embrace of a policeman ; he heard him ; but I suppose to save trouble, he let him go—and thus we are to abolish the dastardly practice of - About half past one o'clock yestela.,, down Richmond-row, I saw a man, without the least provocation, strike another to the earth. I waited there about 20 minutes, but up to that time, no policeman was to be found, nor do I know whether one has been found yet. Taking everything into consideration, I wonder what our police are good for.—l remain, sir, yours most respectfully, JOHN PVGH. 11, Exchange Buildings, Dec. 26th, 1853. SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY— PROPOSED NEW DIREC TORS. —The South Western conservative committee have proposed . several gentlemen to supply the places of the retiring directors, and of those to go out by rot a ti on nex t February. So far as we can learn, they are honourable men, and worthy of the support of those who are anxious for a strong and united board.—Herapath's Journal, GREAT TAKE OF HER RINGS. —On Thursday our bay con tained immense shoals of herring, and the fishermen being on the alert, realised a plentiful catch, particularly en the north shore. The market was abundantly supplied, and owing to the quantities procured, they were retailed at one halfpenny per dozen. The late fishing season has been less productive than usual, and we trust that this seasonable assistance to the fishermen will be of frequent occurrence, as we understand the whole of the coast has been prolific of fish during the past few weeks.—Southern Times. LEEDS, BRADFORD, AND HALIFAX JUNCTION RAILWAY. —LE K DS, SATURDAY.—A special general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday afternoon, at the Court-house, Bradford, to consider and determine on the expediency, or otherwise, of authorising the execution of the powers of the act to borrow money. William Walker, Esq., of Bolling-hall, presided. The chairman moved a re solution to the effect that the whole capital they were autho rised to raise for the purposes of their work was £200,000, that one-half of this sum had been actually paid up, and that, therefore, the sum of £60,000, authorised by the act, could be borrowed accordingly, and that the directors take the necessary steps for borrowing the money. The chair man was happy to say that arrangements were made witt. the Lancashire and Yorkshire company. He might observe also that the directors were anxious, as soon as the line was completed to Bradford, to hasten the completion of the line to Gildersome, in order to open the coal field in that district to the inhabitants of Bradford and Halifax. HULL AND lIOLDERNESS RAILWAY.—A speci,l general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the Station Hotel, Hull, on Saturday, to take into consideration the propriety of applying to parliament for power to lease the line. Anthony Bannister, Esq., chairman of the com pany, presided. It appeared, from the report, that the di rectors had had an offer from Mr. Cabry, C.E., to lease the line at five per cent. for the first sever. years; that at the expiration of that period he might, if he chose, Five up the lino with proper notice; but if he retained it, the company might require six per cent. for the next seven years, and seven per cent. for another seven years ; at the expiration of which 21 years the lease would termi nate. A resolution was proposed, giving the directors power to go to parliament for powers to negotiate a lease. It was Curled. RIOT IN A PLACE or WORSHIP.—On Tuesday evening last an affray took place at the Wesleyan Association chapel, Worle, by no means creditable to the members of that deno mination. The late Mr. Rich placed in the chapel a sera phine at his own expense, which, at his death, he bequeathed to his daughter. The instrument has 'remained from that time to the evening in question, and Miss Rich very kindly performed on the same; but from the manner in which some of the members of the chapel behaved to the family, Miss Rich determined on its removal, and employed a bailiff named George Fry to remove it. The trustees of the chapel claim ing the property as their own, the officer's demands were treated with contempt, consequently a scuffle commenced, and the members, who ten minutes before were praying that good fellowship might exist between all men, joined in the encounter. From words they came to blows ; unfortunately their late pastor, the Rev. J. Harris, was present, on whom a member of the chapel wreaked his vengeance by throwing him to the floor. The affair having assumed so serious an aspect, the parish constable was sent for, who, after some time, restored order ; but the seraphine was borne away in triumph. Such is an account of this disgraceful affair. A place set apart for the worship of God became the scene of riot, and the oaths and imprecations then uttered by the mob attracted by the noise, would be horrifying in the lowest pot-house.— Western Flying Post. AN Ox WITH REFERENCE TO THE FINE ARTS.—At this season of the year I regard oxen as beeves : an ox is no longer an ox to me. If the royal academy were open now, the works of the cattle painters would be seen from a new Mint of view. The main figures in the fresh landscapes of essrs. Lee and Cooper, would be spoken of, were I a fine arts critic, with distincter reference to the character of their joints than would at any other time be usual. I should ad mire in them richness, delicacy ; should object to wiry or dry-looking cattle, or to those which might suggest a want of tenderness and flavour. The exhibition in Trafalgar square not being open, and its oily cattle not being on view, I always go at this. season of the year to the Baker-street Exhibition, where I see the works of farming artists, cattle executed in real flesh and blood that has been laid on most artistically by the exhibitors. The works of agricultural masters annually shown by , the Smithfield club have been occasionally laughed at by irreverent spectators. In'their earlier productions there was no doubt a tendency to exag geration of outline, and much coarseness in the filling up. Years, however, have been ripening experience, and our artists in beef now turn out specimens of their art that are perfect pictures, and which command accordingly our ad miration and respect. There are no pre-Bakewellites among the farmers; Bakewell, it should be understood, and Collins, having been the Raffaelle and Michael Angelo of cattle farming.—Dickens's" Household Words." ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON.—£6S STOLEN.—On Thurs slay last, five girls of the town, named Maria Senior, Mary Ann &holes, Mary Campbell, Ann Duffy, and Mary Ann Howarth, with four of their " fancy-men," named Hugh Mul doon, William Greenwell, Thomas Malony, and Michael Ward, were placed in the dock before John Brooke, Esq., at the Guild hall, Huddersfield, charged with being concerned in robbing Mr. Thomas Armitage, a respectable stonemason, residing in Upperhead-row. It appeared the prosecutor received from Mr. H. B. Taylor, on Tuesday, a cheque for 1001. on the Yorkshire Banking Company, with which he proceeded to the bank and received the amount in their Si. notes, gold, and silver. During the afternoon, Mr. Armitage, in company with a stone-delver named Whiteley, visited the house of Mr. Jacob Senior, the Unicorn Inn, in Castlegate, where they got Intoxicated in the room called the "vaults." Most of the pri soners were also present, and left with the prosecutor. On arriving at home about eight o'clock in the evening, he, or rather his family, discovered that he had lost eight 51. notes, 201. in gold, and about 61. in silver, and had only thirty-three sovereigns left in his pockets out of the 1001., and one sove reign which he previously had in his pocket. Information was immediately given to Mr. Superintendent Thomas, who soon learnt from the servant girl at the Unicorn Inn, that Muldoon had exhibited a quantity of notes during the afternoon, and had asked the prisoner Malony to read them for him, and then went away ; that in a short time afterwards he returned to the house and charged the persons in the room with having stolen three of the notes, as he was three short. The prisoner, Mary Campbell, also exhibited six sovereigns and a half about six o'clock, and paid for seven pints of rum for the company to drink, and had three sovereigns and a half left when she left for home. In consequence of this and other information, the nine prisoners were taken into custody. On Muldoon two sovereigns and thirteen shillings in silver were found, and smaller sums on most of the others. The prosecutor, however, could not recognise any of the prisoners, nor could he remem ber being in Castlegate at all, nor at any other public-house, after leaving the " 'Wine Butts" in the Beast-market early in the afternoon. His companion, Whiteley, however, recollected having taken his friend to the Unicorn, and to seeing most of the prisoners there, but this was all he could recollect. From some information which had reached the police, but which was not permitted to transpire, Maria Senior and Mary Ann Scholes were remanded to Saturday and all the others discharged. VENTILATION OF SHIPS. THE NEW AMERICAN CLIPPER-SHIP, " EMERALD ISLE." Then - Lis no subject which at the present moment deservedly commands a greater share of public attention, than that of ventilation. The disastrous reports from outward bound ships of the " old schoOl," lead us to hail with satisfaction any im provement that may tend to lessen mortality. Though government may, by their enactments, have done some little to ameliorate the* condition of the emigrant voyager, a comparison of the ships, whether British or Foreign, would show that pri vate enterprise has contributed far more to this great desideratum. Ventilation, to be effectual in a ship, as in an edifice, must be commenced with the construction ; and we are happy to call atten tion to.a new clipper craft named the " Emerald Isle." in which improvements so great, in this as well as other points, have been effected, that a brief notice may not prove uninteresting. The " Emerald Isle," like most recently built ships, is a clipper in the fullest sense of the term. She has a finely modelled bow, sharp as a wedge; a long extending floor; and a well turned bilge, dying imperceptibly into the run, which is as "clean as the tail of a dolphin." Her stem, which is of- remarkably graceful form, rakes well forward. Her side, not kettle-like, nor yet wall-shaped, is the happy medium that approaches perfection ; while her counter and quarters—the admiration of nautical connoisseurs—are circular, light, and ele• gant, gaily decorated, pannelled, and relieved with bold mouldings, interspersed with carvings richly gilt, through which is , interwoven the emblem of the Emerald Isle—" the shamrock." Surrounding the stem is a well-executed carving of an Irish wolf-dog in full chase ; and running aft round the name-boards, hawse-holes, &c., are decorations of corresponding character and elegance. She is euv r ...—a t 4 1d feet 6 inches, and above painted black, which gives her wen-nmsh, a 00....tz.La s much better appearance than would " quaker ports." At the water line she appears as fine as a London wherry ; indeed she is so compact a ship, that her look gives but little idea of her magnitude. " She sits the water like a swan." As Falconer says— " Where'ershe moves, the vassal waves are seen To yield obsequious and confess their queen." The masts and spars are enormous for her tonnage ; she has " fidded" royal masts, and top-gallant masts, and has two sets of crosstrees. The rigging is finished in a very superior manner. She has an extra shroud from each mast-head, and double back-stays ; in fact she lacks nothing. - Beautiful as is the exterior appearance of this gem of nautical skill, her internal arrangements are not less adMirable—her deck has a fine appearance, and passengers are protected by a lofty bulwark, a top-gallant bulwark, and a monkey rail. For ward is a top gallant-forecastle. Amidships a per manent house, and aft is a slightly raised quarter deck. The hatches are also all covered with houSes, which,by a new and excellent arrangement form independent gangways to the main and lower decks, and powerful ventilators. To the lower decir, there are seven distinct entrances, and three double ones to the main deck. Passing from the lower deck through the midship-house are a series of tubes run at each side (between deck staucheons and the waterways) forming extra stancheons, and acting as flues to carry off the vitiated air from the lower deck. Each of these chimneys (and there are many of them) is two feet wide and one foot deep. In appearance, they are not at, all unseemly and their utility must be undeniable. The same principle is applied throughout the ship, and she has also enormous wind-cowls fore and aft. The after part of the main deck, is fitted up as a saloon for the richer class of passengers. The state rooms are most comfortable and roomy. The timber of which the Emerald Isle is built, is of the choicest live oak, white oak, &c., and there is no scarcity of strength. Her knees, deck beams, keelsons, sister keelsons, bilge pieces and waterways, are fit for a much larger craft. The ceiling and planking is narrow, and well-finished, and neither inside or outside is an awkward butt end to be seen. The Emerald Isle registers 2000 tons. She is 236 feet long over all, has a beam of 43 feet, and her depth is 30 feet. She was built by Messrs. Trufant Drummond, and Co., of Bath, Maine, as a sister ship to the William Tapscott, for Messrs. Tapscott and Co., of Liverpool and New York, than whom a more enterprizing firm does not exist. The commander is Captain Cornish, an experienced transatlantic traveller, a thorough sailor, and a gentleman.

CORBETT ON THE EASTERN QUESTION. —" It (England) was a glorious and a great country until the government had made it otherwise; and it ought still to be what it once was, and to be capable of driving the Russians back from the country of our old and best ally—the Turks."—Speech at Tring, Cobbett's Register, Sept. 23, 1829. Tix SALMON SPAWN.—On Tuesday no fewer than 70,000 of the ova of the salmon of the Tay was sent to Ireland, for the purpose of ascertaining, if on coming to maturity there, whether the fish would keep up the high character, as re spects quality,. they have ever maintained in all markets. A like quantity is to be sent here from the sister isle for the same purpose.—J.Vorthern Warder. THROUGH TOLLS.—On Wednesday the collector at New castle-on-Tyne was summoned before the bench at that town for using threatening language to a person who had refused to pay him 4d. for a butt of currants, but who had offered him 2d. The collector having offered an apology, and paid the costs, amounting to £2 15s. 2d., the case was with drawn, but it was admitted that the toll, which had been collected for years was illegal. CHRISTMAS DAY IN THE LONDON WORKHOUSES.—On Sunday, the inmates of the different metropolitan and sub urban workhouses, were liberally regaled with Christmas fare. A comparison of the returns of last year shows a tendency to increase in the amount of metropolitan pauper ism, although there are only three unions in which the amount of that increase is at present considerable. In St. Pancras alone there is an increase of 1,576 persons receiv ing relief. The total number receiving relief is at present about 100,600. THE LEEDS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE BOARD OF TRADE. —The board of trade have at length seen the necessity for an improved classification of woollen and worsted manufactures exported. Up to the present time, as all connected with these departments of trade are aware, the published tables of exports and imports periodically issued by the board of trade have adhered to a system of classifica tion so imperfect that it has been impossible to ascertain the relative proportion of woollen and worsted exports. This has very properly come under the notice of the board of trade, who have consulted the Leeds chamber of commerce upon the propriety of a new .classification _ _ RUSSIA ANn TURKEY.—The following is in course of sig nature at Southampton :—" To J. T. Tucker, Esq., the Worshipful the Mayor of Southampton.—We, the under signed, inhabitants of the borough and county of the town of Southampton, respectfully request you will convene a public meeting to take into consideration the important question of the unprovoked aggression of the Emperor of Russia against Turkey, and, should it be deemed expedi ent, to memorialise her most gracious Majesty the Queen to immediately adopt, in conjunction with her powerful ally, the Emperor of France, such prompt and energetic measures as will tend to preserve the integrity and inde pendence of the Turkish empire, and compel the Emperor of Russia to submit to such conditions as will guarantee the future peace and tranquillity of Europe and Asia." RAILWAY GUARD KILLED.—On Wednesday evening as the six o'clock train for Perth and Dundee emerged from the funnel at the Scotland-street station, one of the guards, named Cleghorn, was missed from his post, and was not to be found. He had been seen to leave the train, being on the parcel-van arranging the luggage when it started, and it was conjectured that he had fallen off in the tunnel. The circumstance was telegraphed to the head of the tunnel, and men with lights entered both ends in search of him. He was found lying about thirty :or forty yards from the top, and quite lifeless, having sustained a severe injury on the head. The cause of his fall from the van is, of course un known. The deceased, who was above fifty years of age, was one of the oldest servants in the Company, and was a steady, well-conducted man. He was on his return journey to Dundee, where his home was, a n d w h ere h e had a. wife and family. AUDIENC2 WITH HER MAJESTY.—It is sometimes better, for reasons which will occur to most of our readers, to put a question, than to state a fact. Can it then be true, as we are assured it is, that at the audiences which cabinet ministers have with her majesty, there is usually another distinguished party present ? Can it be that tiv• foreign minister of Eng land is obliged to canvass all his measures in the presence of one who is, not only not a member of the cabinet, but who is in constant and confidential communication with all the foreign courts, with the single exception of that of France ? If this be so, as we much fear it is, then we unhestitatingly say that it is wholly at variance with the spirit, if not the letter of our co ns tit u ti on . Wh a t f ore i gn min i s t er , we ask, could feel himself a free agent, if he can only explain and defend his policy to her majesty in the presence of a party on whom rests no responsibility, and all of whose preposses sions and predilections are in favour of that Germanism which is so entirely antagonistic to the free institutions and interests of England ?—Morning Advertiser. SHIP WRECKS. IMPORTANT TO MERCIIANTS AND UNDERWRITERS. The following article we take from a communication from. Winterton, Norfolk, and appears worthy the attention of un derwriters and merchants : The gale from the N.E., with snowstorms, continued all the day on the 15th inst. • and at night, between ten and eleven o'clock, the Friendship,- of Whitby, Mr. Wood, mas ter, timber laden from Cronstadt (about 200 tons,) came on the beach a little to the eastward of the Winterton light house. Mr. Lugard, of the coast-guard service, by the mor tar threw a line on board, and by 12 o'clock, or soon after, the life boat was hauled on board, and the crew of nine persons landed in safety, but without their clothes. The master, Mr. Wood, had broken his arm in the course of the day, but all the others were well. It appears that the thick snowstorm for 48 hours had prevented their knowing exactly where they were, as they mistook the Harboro' light ?or the Lowestoft light, and on this dangerous coast, with such weather, it is difficult to avoid such mistakes. At noon neat day, the vessel was lying in the surf, with her sails closed up, and every thing on deck and afloat as when she struck the beach. The fishermen on the beach were within fifty yards of the vessel, ready to go on board, and to have half unloaded her cargo of deals before night, if there had been any person to give orders what to do. The sails, masts, and stores of every kind might have been landed in good condi tion, and the vessel, when lightened of the cargo might have had a chance of being got off, and towed into Yarmouth. But some dispute between the agents at Yarmouth as to who should take charge of the chip and cargo for the underwrit ers, was the cause why nothing was at once done to preserve the ship and cargo. Until the legislature shall direct an inquiry to be insti tuted on the spot after every shipwreck, there will be a can tinuation of shipwrecks, with loss of life and property, to a great extent, which in many cases arise from the carlessness, or something worse, and the property of the nation, as well as the lives of the sailors, are daily sacrificed for want of such inquiry. The foreign vessel of 125 tons from `7ronstadt, with wheat, that came on shore on the night of the 10th and 11th instant, opposite the town of Winterton, became a perfect wreck, the cargo of wheat was all lost, and the vessel, although built in 1850, broke into pieces. The crew was landed in safety from the vessel, but they lost their clothes. AN AMERICAN TRAGBDY. A SERIES OF HORRIBLE DOINGS. The North State Whig, of the 30th ult., printed at Wil mington, North Carolina, publishes a condensed report of the trial of the Rev. George W. Carawan, for the murder of Mr. C. H. Lassiter, a school teacher in Hyde county. The whole case is remarkable, on account of the status of the accused, the depravity developed, and the tragical issue of the trial. Eminent counsel were arrayed for both the pro secution and the defence, and much excitement prevailed during the proceedings. The paper before us gives the fol lowing particulars :-- Carawan was 56 years old, and for many years had been a popular preacher in the Baptist church—a man of strong will, exercising a powerful influence over his friends, and feared as much as hated by his foes. Lassiter was a quiet young man, engaged in the business of teaching. So me months before the murder, Lassiter boarded in the house of Carawan, and a quarrel arose between them, Carawan alleg ing that Lassiter was too familiar with his (Carawan's) wife. Carawan talked very freely among his neighbours on the subject ; said that Lassiter ought to be shot ; that shooting was too good for him; and that he and Lassiter could not both live in the same neighbourhood; and finally tried to get out a peace warrant against Lassiter, alleging that he had attempted to take his life. He went on this way for some time, when Lassiter sued him for slander, laying the damages at 2000 dols. A few hours after the writ was served on Carawan, Lassiter was killed. _ _ _ He had finished a school on Rose-bay, and on Monday, the 15th of November, 1852, started on foot, with a carpet bag in his hand, to go to the Lake, where he had engaged another school. About three o'clock p.m. lie passed Cara wan's house on his way to the Lake. Shortly after he passed, Carawan left his house, and went across the field toward the woods which lie between the hoase and the spot on the road where Lassiter was killed, his wife following with a gun wrapped up in her apron. She returned to the house immediately • Carawan not till sundown. That night he was absent from home. Tuesday he remained at home; but on Wednesday, a rainy day, he took a hoe and went into the woods, and was gone several hours. On Thursday, before L. was missed (the people on the lake thinking he was at the bay, and the people on the bay thinking he was at the lake), C. went to one of the neighbours, and inquired if he had seen anything of L , stating that his (C.'s) family had seen him pass his house on Monday with a package of clothes, and he was thinking he had run away. On Friday evening, when told that the people were searching for L., he expressed great surprise that he should be missing—never had heard anything of it. On Saturday morning, the search for Lassiter still going on, he wrote to a friend to come and see him—that Lassiter was missing—supposed to be killed—and added that he (Carawan) was at home all day Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and that he could prove it by Carawan Sawyer (the main witness on the trial for the state), his nephew, a boy who was living with him. The body of Lassiter was found on Saturday evening in the swamps bAtind Carawan's house in an open lot, which was surrounded with briars, underbrush, &e., and covered with moss. The moss over the grave had been carefully removed, the grave dug just large enough to hold the body, the body pressed into it, the grave filled up even with the surrounding earth and pressed down, and the moss carefully laid back upon it. The moss leaving no trace of a footprint, there was no sign that any body had ever been there, except that the moss over the grave had faded a little; about a handful o f f res h di rt was near it, and a dead limb of a tree had apparently been re cently disturbed ; the bark, which had evidently just fallen from it, lying in one spot and the limb in another. The men who were searching for the body had stopped in this lonely spot to rest, having given up the search for the day, when these appearances attracted their attention, and the body was found. L. was killed by gunshot wounds. Several shots were taken from the body, three from the heart. There were three sizes of shot found in the body, and in one of the barrels of C.'s gun, found in the house, just such shot, and of three sizes, were found. That night C. left Hyde county, telling his nephew (Sawyer) that if he stayed there he should be hung ; that he should send for his family, and he (S.) must go with them. On Sunday . morning he landed from a canoe at Durham's Creek mills, in Beaufort county, about thirty miles from his home, telling the man who rowed him over that he was after a piece of land which another man was trying to buy, and that was the reason of his hurry, and charging him to keep his movements a secret. From this time fill his arrest at night in his house, in January followEg, the state did not know his whereabouts. But from letters received by the sheriff of Hyde, from Ten nessee, it seems he had been in that state, preaching under the assumed name of John Forbes. After his imprisonment in Hyde county goal, he tried to get a friend to hire the witness Sawyer to go away. He had offered the same witness,, before the body of Lassiter was found, a negro, if he woull swear that he, Carawap, was at home all Monday, the day on which the murder was committed. And while in Hyde goal he wrote to a friend (the letters were produced in court), to get Sawyer out of the way. He had given, he said, in one of h;s letters, Mary (his wife) 500 dots. to get Sawyer off; if that would not do, give him 1,000 Bois. If that would not do, lie (his friend) must get r;d of Sawyer " by hook or by c r o o k" and not suffer his (Carawan's) neck to be broke. The defence set up for the prisoner was, that three of the witnesses (including Sawyer) had sworn falsely, committed wilful and deliberate peijury, and that it was impossible for Carawan to have gone through the woods, after Lassiter passed his house, quick enough to have cut him off. The jury, after a protracted sitting, brought in a verdict of guilty, and the judge ordered a recess of the court for an hour. As the crowd was leaving, the prisoner suddenly drew two pistols, one of which he fired at Mr. Warren, the counsel for the state, and with the other shot himself through the head, killing himself instantly. The ball of the other struck Mr. Warren on the breast, just above the heart, but fortunately, glanced off and left only a slight wound. The Korth State Whig says : Carawan maintained his self-control throughout the trial. He was as fine looking a man as one would find among a thousand—tall, admirably built, with a massive head, showing, with enormous animal passions, large intellect. These passions have destroyed him, he having given himself all his life to their unbridled sway. His wife, apparently about his own age, and his children, had been with him during the trial, accompanying him to and from the court house and gaol. Lieutenant Atkinson has invented a process of throwing a line from a sinking ship to shore as a preferable mode of communicating, rather than that of endeavouring to cast a line from the shore over the ship. SUICIDE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—On Saturday night, a shocking attempt at wife murder, followed by the suicide of the husband, took place in Soho. The man's name was Heise, a German, a tin-plate worker, who lived with his wife and two children in the attic of No. 15, King-street. It appears that his circumstances were good, but that he had strong feelings of jealousy against his wife. The poor woman was confined only on Wednesday last, and Heise had become impressed with a conviction that the child was not his. He frequently taunted her with his suspicions, but she ; had no reason to suspect that he meditated violence towards her. On Saturday night, however, as she lay in bed with her infant at the breast, he suddenly rushed into the room with a dagger-knife, of the Italian form, and stabbed her in several places on the left side and arm. She immediately jumped out of bed and run out of the room, loudly calling out " Murder." She dropped on the stairs from loss of blood. She was removed to a room below stairs, and was subsequently taken to the workhouse, with the infant, which was drenched with blood. Heise was afterwards found lying partially on the bed, his throat cut from ear to ear. He had nearly severed the head from the body,. with the exception of the vertebrae ; both the carotid arteries, the windpipe, and all the soft part being cut through. So extensive a self-inflicted wound is of rare Eminence. Corr6poifsfenrt. THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. THE MINISTRY. The impression that Lord Palmerston had re solved to retain his post 'becanie very general on Saturday, and there seems a strong probability that current belief on this point will be justified by the event. The fact, however, of the non acceptance of the Home Secretary's resignation says very little for the permanency of the whole government. If they cannot get over the threatened opposition of the member for Tiverton, how can they expect to survive the first parliamentry debates on their Russian policy ? Are they beginning to put their house in order? If not, they had better do so at once, not only on account of those dangers which are always begotten of manifest weakness, but for the absolute risk there seems to be of Lord Aber deen's resignation, if a real quarrel with Russia should occur in the Black Sea. Surely the "travelled Thane" could not hold his place if his friend the Czar should be seriously taken to task by the forces of England and France. The fleets, it is now con fidently said, have been ordered to the Black Sea, and that they are really likely to try those waters, we believe, for the reason that at last an officer has been sent out with a special knowle4ge of what soundings are wanted in that quarter. When the fleets went to Besika Bay, and even when they afterwards went to . the Bosphorus, .it was generally known that the English were deficient in knowledge of the Euxine, Yet no special officer seems to have been sent to serve under Admiral Dundas with peculiar reference to such ignorance. On Saturday, however, we were able to state that Captain Brock had gone out to "make surveys in the Black Sea." and this really does go to show something like the 'existence of a serious intention to move the fleet towards Sebastopol. But is it possible Lord Aber. deen can have sanctioned any forward movement of Admiral Dundas? If so, can he mean to hold office. if the fleets damage that very Czar who "honoured Lord Aberdeen with a call when he visited England ?" It is next to iiapoeeiblo to bulio.rc ana - arty one who deals in prophecy would be very safe in saying that if Lord Palmer ston comes back, and anything real is done towards driving the Autocrat from the territory of the Sultan, " a great man will go out of office." Assuredly the boom of the first English gun would be followed by the bow of resignation of Lord Aberdeen: unless, indeed, the present Prime Minister ignores all the indications of his previous career.—Daily News. STABBING.—A serious case of stabbing came before the magistrates on Wednesday. On Sunday morning, about one o'clock, as William Hutchinson and Richard Hardgraves were walking down Westgate. they were met by a private of the 28th regiment, at present stationed in the barracks, named M'Manora, who demanded a pint of beer from Hardgraves, which he refused to give him. M'Manora, with an oath, told him that he would " take it out of him," and imme diately drew a clasp knife which he opened, and with it struck at him, cutting his coat at the shoulder. Hardgraves then ran away, pursued by the prisoner, who overtook him in a passage. Hutchinson then came up to them, and at tempted to defend his friend, when Nl‘Aanora made a thrust at him also with the knife and cut him severely in the hand. A policeman was in the neighbourhood, and hearing the scuffle, went into the passage and apprehended the prisoner. Committed to take his trial at the sessions:— Leeds Times. DECREASE OF PAIIPERISM.—On Saturday last, John Brooke and Thos. P. Crosland, Esqrs., the s itti ng magis trates at the Guildhall, granted to Mr. Benjamin Taylor, the assistant overseer of the poor of Huddersfield, a new rate of Is. Bd. in the pound, amounting in the aggregate to £7,588 2s. 3d. The amount of the last rate, excused on the ground of poverty, was £265 2s. 11d., and the other uncol lected arrears, amounting to £125 3s. 6d. This is only the third rate of ls. Bd. in the pound levied for the support of the poor in the township of Huddersfield, since Dec., 1849, making a total of three rates of Is. Bd. in fire years, or only an average annual expenditure of ls. in the pound, for the support of the poor, county rates, and officers' salaries ! while the average annual expenditure of most other prosperous neighbouring towns, during the same period, ranges from 2s. to 3s. 6d., and even 4s. in the pound. These facts speak volumes for the intelligence, energy, and morals of the people of this enterprising and flourishing town.—Leeds Times. COSTS or A GAME PROSECUTION REFUSED.—On Monday last at the Yorkshire winter assizes, Mr. 0 verend asked the judge (Mr. Justice Coleridge) if he would allow the costs of the prosecution in some cases against poachers concerned in affrays at Temple Newsam and Harewood. The learned Judge replied in the negative, observing that he thought it unfair to saddle the county with the expenses of cases of this description. Instead of the county being called upon to vindicate the law, it rested more properly upon the gentle men whose lands had been entered, as by preserving their game in such large quanties they held out a strong tempta tion to poachers to pursue their lawless avocations. The proprietors of the preserves in instances of this description induced poachers to enter their property, and therefore they ought to bear the responsibilities and expenses of maintain ing the game laws. His lordship said he had consulted with Mr. Justice Wightman on the subject, and he had expressed a similar opinion. He must, therefore, not allow the costs of the prosecution in either case. SHUTTING OF THE GATES OF DERRY.—The 165th anni versary of this event—ever dear to the recollection of Derrymen, and of such vast importance in its results to the liberties and religious interests of these kingdoms—was this year celebrated in the usual manner with unabated enthu siasm. Owing to the anniversary falling on Sunday (the 18th instant,) the rounds of cannon, with which it is customary to usher in the day, were discharged at half-past eleven on Saturday night; and the virgin flags were hoisted from the Cathedral and Walker's Pillar. At twelve o'clock on Sunday the Apprentice Boys formed into procession at the Linen-hall, and proceeded to attend Divine service in the Cathedral : and at six in the evening, proceeded in the same order, to the First Presbyterian Church. At six, amid renewed firing the effigy of traitor Lundy was suspended from the Testimonial, where at day-break, he was discovered swinging to and fro at the feet of Governor Walker, whilst the joy-bells pealed forth their merry notes, and the several Apprentice Clubs, repairing to the ramparts with nine well equipped field-pieces, fired fifteen rounds.—Derry Standard. FLIGHT OF A CHRISTMAS LOTTERY KEEPER.— On Sa turday considerable consterration prevailed among a large number of contributors to a Christmas lottery fund for the distribution of turkeys, geese, beef, plums, brandy, &c., which was announced by a man of the name of Button, a fried fish salesman, in business in the neighbourhood of Rosoman-street, Clerkenwell, to take place on Friday and Saturday. The lottery consisted of 10,000 tickets at six pence each, and there were to be 691 prizes. The draw for the prizes was proceeded with at the John of Jerusalem, the landlord of which had no further to do with it than allowing his room for that purpose. Throughout yesterday the house was besieged by the subscribers, who were informed that Mr. Butt on was no t at h ome . The crowd increased to such an extent, that it was necessary to send for two policemen to protect the premises. Up to a late hour last night persons were arriving from all parts of the metropolis, who loudly expressed their feelings ofanger. LETTERS AND GOLD FROM AUSTRALIA.—The Oriental Company's steam packet Euxine, Captain F. Meehan, ar rived at Southampton on Friday afternoon, with the heavy portion of the India, China, and Australian mails, and which were landed under the charge of Lieutenant De Lisle, R.N., admiralty agent. Her dates are, Alexandria, December 8 ; Malta, December 12 ; and Gibraltar, December 18. Amongst her cargo was eleven boxes of specie. Her mails consisted of above 100 boxes of letters and papers, besides bags. Nearly one half of the boxes were from Melbourne. Amongst the passengers of the Euxine were several from Australia, who came up to Ceylon in the Shanghai mail steamer, which left Melbourne on the 27th of September. They confirm the extraordinary accounts which were re ceived by a few private letters, written just before;the sail ing of the Shanghai, as to the extraordinary gold discoveries. The chief spot of these discoveries, and which are called tables of gold, is at Ballarat. A party of diggers had in a very short time obtained £lO,OOO worth of gold, and had de posited it at the Melbourne bank. A gold placer was also discovered on the surface, near Melbourne, by means of a cart, the wheels of which in going over the ground were found to hare gold adhering to them. THE QUEEN'S NEW STEAM YACHT.-Sir James Graham, Bart., M.P., First Lord of the Admiralty, came over to Portsmouth on Tuesday last, to meet a committee of officers whose opinions were required upon the important subject of constructing her Majesty's new steam yacht. The officers and gentlemen summoned to meet the First Lord, were Cap tain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., surveyor of the navy ; Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, commander-in-chief of her Majesty's steam squadron; Mr. Thomas Baker, R.N., inspector of machinery of the Victoria and Albert ; Mr. An drew Murray, superintending engineer of Portsmouth Dock yard; Mr. Thomas Lloyd, R.N., of the steam department of Somerset House; Mr. Isaac Watts, assistant to the sur veyor of the navy ; and Mr. John Penn, C.E., of Greenwich. Plans and sections were exhibited, and we believe the result will be that the new royal yacht will be built of the follow ing dimensions and capabilities :—Le - 2gth of keel, 330 feet ; length on deck, 315 feet; beam, 40 feet; depth of hold, 22 feet ; diameter of paddle-wheel, 30 feet 6 inches ; st=oke of piston, 7 feet ; diameter of cylinder, 84 inches ; tonnage, 2340. The revolutions of the engines have been estimated at from 25 to 28, which will yield, it is calculated, a speed of from 15 to 16 knots per hour. The engines are to be manufactured by Penn, upon the oscillating principle, but Which to obtain the speed calculated upon must be worked upon high pressure guage. They will occupy great space in the body of the vessel, and, consequently, allow of less ven tilation and working room for the engineer's staff, and admit of the stowage of a less quantity of coals. We hope she will have a greater preportion of power to tonnage than any ves sel afloat, and not a small nominal power, to be driven at a great speed of engine. With a large power, the maximum of speed will be attained with much more ease and comfort, and reduced risk of derangement.—Hampshire Advertiser and Portsmouth Journal. STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY, DEC. 23.—Any step undertaken by the enterprise of a public company to afford rapt and efficient steam communication with the Australian colonies is now a matter of great public interest. The experimental voyages to Port Philip and Sydney, accomplished by the general screw steam shipping company's ships Harbinger and Argo, have been the most successful of any efforts yet made to shorten the - distance between Australia and the parent country. A strange fatality has, in fact, attended the operations of every other company up to the present interests who time ; and the expectations i n d u l ge d b y var i ous who have hitherto attempted to solve the problem, have been productive, if not of actual failure, at least of great and serious irregularity. The general screw steam company is now about to follow up the favourable impression first made by more decisive efforts, and is just about to occupy the field by the adoption of measures which promise to supply the great object hitherto unattainable, which is no less than a regular steam communication with Australia, by means of the employment of ships of such a class, as from their size, power, equip ment, and capacity, appear destined to command a practical and enduring success. The first of the new line of steamers of this character made her appearance in the Southampton-docks yesterday. She is named the Crcesus, and is commanded by Captain J. V. Hall. This noble ship, the largest merchant steam ship which ever left the Thames, and the finest screw steamer that has yet been exhibited in Southampton, is of 2,500 tons burden, and was built by Messrs. Mare and Co., of Blackwell, who are also preparing for sea, to follow the Crcesus, three other ships of similar dimensions, to be re spectively called the Golden Fleece, the Jason, and the Prince. A description of this magnificent steamer may not be uninteresting, embodying as she does every imp rovemen t, both of construction, equipment, and fitting, which science and skill can suggest. The Crcesus is built of iron, in water tight compartments, the dimensions being as follows : Length between perpendiculars 280 feet, length over all 300 feet, breadth 43 feet, depth 311 feet. She is full bark rigged, with an immense spread of canvass sufficient to force the ship through the water (irrespective of steam power) with a strong breeze at the rate of 13 or 14 knots. The Croasus is, of course, propelled by the auxiliary screw, and her engines, by Messrs. Rennie, are of 400 horse power, on the direct-acting horizontal principle, having an immediate connexion with the shaft of the *screw. The screw itself is a two-bladed one, of 16 feet diameter, with a 231 feet . pitch, and weighs five tons. By an in geniously contrived hoisting apparatus, it can be discon nected and lifted bodily out of the water, so that when the vessel is under canvas& alone, (which will frequently be the case) no obstruction will be offered to the speed which may be obtained from the force of the wind acting upon the sails. The cylinders of the engines have a diameter of 631 inches, and the steam is generated in four tubular boilers, which are so arranged that they may be used singly or collectively, according as it may be necessary or prudent to expend or economise fuel. The engines perform about 52 revolutions per minute, with 16 lb. pressure of steam, and a vacuum of 27 in the condenser. The arrangements for the accommodation of passengers are of the most complete kind ; 200 first and second-class can be carried, and for their benefit the saloons, bed cabins, bathrooms, and other convenience s are o f th e mos t com modious description, and comprise every necessary luxury and comfort that can be desired on board a steam-packet. The sleeping-berths are ranged entirely on the main -deck, which has a communication from stem to stern, the officers' and servants' cabins being built upon tho upper or spar deck, thus economising the space for passenger accommo dation of nearly 40 persons. A glance round the ship exhibits the excellence of the general arrangements, and shows that the Crcesus is intended to be a commercial and purely self-supporting steamship, Besides the great space allotted for passengers, the Crcesus has a capacity for 1,300 or L4OO tons of measurement freight, will carry 1,000 tons of coals, possesses stowage room for 300 tons of baggage and stores, with 103 tons of water in tanks, in addition to an apparatus for condensing 700 gallons of water per diem. This ship and the others of the company's fleet have been fitted out under the entire supervision and direction of Captain John Ford, late of the Ottoman navy, the superin tendent and manager of the General Screw Company. The Crcesus started from Greenhithe on Monday morning last at 10 o'clock. Immediately on getting under way (the ship at starting having a dead weight of 1,480 tons on board with a draught of water of 181 feet) full steam was put on, and rapid progress made to the Nore, where the ship dropped anchor for the night. The next morning the anchor was through chuunel t w h a e s D m o a w d n e s t , a u f t d e i r s t a p u a o s e s i n o f g 1 N s v h tn i c i h l e s a h e r l u o n w d th o again h o i s t e d, an d the ship steamed on at a great rate o e wa Sta t r h t e . In the three days and nights during which the Creesus was kept at sea before returning to Southampton, several oppor tunities were afforded for trying the speed under every variety of , weather. The maximum speed under canvas, with a strong breeze and the screw disconnected, was 13 to 14 knots. Close hauled with double -reefed topsails, courses, trysail, and jib (canvas alone—no steam power applied), 10 knots. Iu smooth water, with no sails, the ship steamed 101 to 11 knots, and coming up Channel against a heavy a t h r r o o u u g g h h t s h e e a , wateral l at tyardsih the rateacross, of the to 5i knots. These trials of Peed, erminesnor 11 - e north-east cgeadl thee ed, under every circumstance, were therefore deemed most s atisfactory • the engines worked admirably, with no symptoms of t bearinms, tho boilers giving a full supply of steam at alitm es °' ' s withh ship The Crcesus is to sail on the 10th of January, and will, we understand, go direct from Southampton to Port Philip without touching . at any intermediate port.— Tim,.

THE LATE GALES.—Yesterday, upwards of one hundred and sixty of the emigrants who were on board the United States ship Niagara, which left this port on Sunday last, arrived, and were carefully provided for at the Emigrant's Home, Moorfields. The Niagara, after leaving the river, ran on the Grenore point beach. The passengers were speedily landed and were conveyed back to this port. Since their arrival, they have expressed their thankfulness the kindness, under the unfortunate circumstances, they have received since they have been at the Emigrant's lllome. Those emiganrts who expressed a wish not to proceed on the voyage, have had their fares returned, and those who have sustained losses will be fully compensated by the agents, and furnished with every convenience until they can proceed on their voyage. SINGULAR ACCIDENT. —On the evening of Thursday last, a young boy living with his parents at the west end of the town, being left for a few minutes in a room by himself, happened to discover a bottle of hair oil which his sister had been using, and immediately uncorking it, proceeded to pour the odorous fluid in copious libations upon his own head. But after the operation was over, feeling his hair rather uncomfortably wet, the thought struck him that he might dry it at the gas, when, in endeavouring to d o i ) he incautiously approached too near the burner, and in stantly his hair was in a blaze. His cries brought speedy assistance, but speedy as it was, it came too late to prevent his being very severely scorched about the head; his hands, too, with which he had endeavoured to extinguish the blaze, did not escape. He is still lying in a very precarious state, we understand.—N. B; Mail. MACAULAY AND THE PUBLISHER.—Mr. Macaulay, M.P., having severely denounced Mr. Vizetelly, the bookseller, for publishing a spurious edition of his speeches, that gentleman has published the following :--‘ 4 * * * I ask your permission to be allowed to point out to you, that Mr. Macaulay's indignation is based upon the misrepresentation that I had undertaken to edit the edition of his speeches which was printed by me from Hansard's Parliamentary Debates. From the title page and preface to this edition, which I enclose, you will see that I do not appear in any such capacity, nor does the edition profess to be anything beyond a mere reprint from Hansard, consequently Mr Macaulay's attack should have been directed against the editor of Hansard, if against any one, rather than myself. * * With regard to the observations of a more personal character, which Mr. Macaulay has thought fit to indulge in, these I shall leave to be dealt with, as advised, by a court of law." - D F O R R E S T E R , SHIRT ESTABLISHMENT, 65, CHURCH-STREET.
