Natttu Einits 771 URSDAY, JUNE 9, 1859. THE DAY'S NEWS No business of importance was before the House of Commons yesterday. Mr. Dillwyn obtained leave to bring in a bill relative to- Endowed Schools, and Mr. Hadfield moved that a return relating to Cabul, Affghanistan, be printed, contending that it was important that the papers should be printed, as they had been presented to the House in a mutilated form. Sir J. Northcote stated that the only objec tion was the expense ; but after some conversation the motion was agreed to. Mr. Dunlop obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the act allowing verdicts on trials by jury in civil causes in Scotland to be received, although the jury may not be unani mous. This was all before • the House, which adjourned after a sitting of about an hour. The Battle of Magenta turns out to be a very different affair from what the first exultant despatch of the Emperor of the French led us to suppose. According to this despatch the loss of the Austrians was set down at 20,000 men placed hors de combat, and 7,000 taken prisoners, also a great quantity of guns and other munitions of war. A despatch re ceived here yesterday is almost equally vain-glorious. It says that 20,000 men were killed and wounded, and that 7,000 men were taken prisoners, but the booty is only put down at four pieces of cannon and two flags and it further avers that the French only had 500 men killed, including two generals. The French have not even advanced into the country which ought to have been laid at their feet by such a stupendous blow. If we compare the fruits of this conflict with any of the splendid engagements of Napoleon, how utterly purportless does the combat seem to have been ; or, rather, how little a gain to the victors ! At Marengo the loss on each side was estimated at seven thousand men slain ; yet for Bonaparte it established the re-conquest of Piedmont and the Milanese, the cession of twelve fortresses with fifteen hundred pieces of cannon, and an open road to the Mincio, At Austerlitz, the French General lost but seven thousand men, and the Allies fifteen thousand in killed, wounded, and drowned. What, however, were the results ?. The annexation of the Venetian States to the kingdom of Italy ; the transference of Austrian and German provinces to newly-established Napoleon dependencies ; princely marriages for the Bonaparte family, and an immense dower. Before, then, we can admit the completeness of the battle of Magenta, we have yet to learn its consequences. If the troops of the allies have cut down twenty thousand Austrian soldiers—as many, nearly, as fell at the battle of Waterloo—how is it that they have derived no greater advantage from it ? But they have not had such a victory ; for an an official despatch from Vienna, dated yesterday, says, that the Austrians lost in killed and wounded between four and five thousand, and the loss of the enemy (the (IWO) was at least half as much more—or se n to eight t The Rifles publishes a summary of official news received at Vienna up to midnight on Monday. 'lt is as follows :—" There was a fierce battle at Turbigo and Buffalora on the 4th. At first 'nly two brigades of the first corps were engaged, but they were sub sequently reinforced. In the afternoon of the same day the third Austrian corps took part in the action. There was very hard fighting at Buffalora—some times to the advantage of the French, sometimes to that of the Austrians. The battle lasted till late at night, and on the sth the battle was continued at Magenta. The allies made no progress. On this day two fresh Austrian corps were engaged. The. sth and Bth corps were not in action. nthe after noon of the same day the Austrians took up a flank position between Abbiate Grasso and Vinasco. ThE Austrians have taken many prisoners "" ' both sides has been very great. four generals and five staff officers wounded, major killed." The Times, in a leading article, observes that the Austrian accounts seem to indicate a series conflicts hotly disputed, with alternate vir The Austrian , and On being proba sby fresh troops, as fast - as ti issitudes of ,blv fed on pushed up to the point of contest. The - Times adds that it now seems probable this hard fight is as yet undecided ; but that on the whole the French have the best of it.

The Post's despatch says :—" The news from the Seat of war arrived on Tuesday. It is stated that Generals M'Mahon and Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely are created Marshals of France. General M'Mahon has received from the. Emperor the title of Duc de Magenta,." It is stated in the letter of a Paris correspondent, that more than four thousand of the prisoners taken by the Allies, were Italians. They say they took the earliest opportunity of giving themselves up. Th ey we re always placed in the f ron t, an d th rea t ened generally by the Croats in the rear if they did not fight well. Many have offered to join the Allies, but have not, so Thr, been accepted. From Pari s , there is a report of the formation of a camp at St. f th 0 mer. In announcing the clos e o e session, on this viem Monday, M. Troplong, the President of th e S ena te, said that the daring battle of Magenta, constituted, at the same time, the deliverance of Piedmont and the establishment of Lombardo-Venetian independ ence. We fear, to use a vulgar expression, that the hon. President of the Senate was " counting his chickens before they are hatched." The India and China- Mails arrived at Marseilles yesterday, and will reach London to-day. At Cal cutta, on May the 3rd, exports were dull. Imports were active ; exchange without alteration. At Shanghai, on April 16, imports were dull, but the export trade had improved, owing to lower prices. We have a week's later news 6oin Canada by the arrival of the screw-steamer Nova Scotian. Th ere is nothing of importance in the accounts to hand. Among the passengers is Sir William Eyre, l a t e commander of the forces in Canada, and a number of men belonging to the 109th Regiment. It is stated that the only reason for Sir William Eyre coming to England is bad health. His Excellency the Governor General had b een on a v i s i t .to the city of Ottawa.

Bella ! horrida bella ! War ! horrid war ! indeed If one did not think so before, it is impossible to read the accounts that are now being published, day after day, and not reiterate the exclamation, if there be a spark of humanity in one's breast. Bella matronis detestata, says HORACE. Yes —war is very naturally detested by matrons, because it makes them widows, and their children fatherless detested, for these and many other reasons, by all human kind. Monsters there are who can gloat over It ought to b( the slaughter of the battle-field. But such are order of natur oind it has been of the comm y sugges be' determined whether monsters be not really a distinct species ;" since it is found, that " some of these monstrous productions have none of those qualities that accompany the essence of that species whence they derive." Well, therefore, may their humanity be questioned. A human creature is one having the qualities of a man. And Ow most pre dominant of such qualities,—or rather that collection of them which distinguish man, or ought to do, from the beast of the forest,—is called humanity, 'an attribute which certainly cannot but revolt at that wanton and . wholesale destruction of human kind that is the immediate and inevitable conse quence of war. Men set up in close, compact bodies to be shot or hewn down, like so many inanimate obstacles in the way of a criminal and most brutal lust of conquest, or spirit of revenge. " Oh, misfortune, ever deplorable and yet common !" exclaims a great satirist of inhuman follies,—" for men in all ages have agreed to destroy, plunder, and butcher one another for a. tract of land, or a parcel of houses, or an empty punctilio ; which, to accomplish with the greater certainty and despatch, they have invented curious rules and engines of destruction, which they call the art of war; the practice of which is rewarded with the highest honours, and most splendid reputations ; and thus every age improves in the art of desolation." Judging from the enormous slaughter, the dreadful desolation, that have already been perpetrated on the frontiers of Austrian- Lombardy, one must of course cone'ude, that the present enlightened age has most signally improved upon the past in that diabolical " art of desolation." And what a sight it is to see— " Most Christian kings inflamed by black desire ; With honourable ruffians in their hire, Cause war to rage, and blood around to pour." Christian Kings! Potentates who ought, as such, to be examples to their people of all that it is worthy in a man and a Christian to be ! But instead of that, setting examples of inhumanities and atrocities which are worthier of brutes than of men —of demons than of Christians. The Emperor of the French, for instance, has made the horrid war in which he is so ruthlessly engaged, quite a subject of (so-called) Christian consideration. Even the Pope has been specially applied to, we believe, to do what they pro fanely style, "bless his arms ;" and in all the Churches of the Empire prayers are just now being daily offered up for the blessing of Heaven upon the fearful slaughter they are so diabolically committing ! And mark with what cold-blooded complacency the work of human butchery is proclaimed. The first account of this late great battle beyond the Ticino was thus given in a despatch from the Emperor at Novara to the Empress at Paris :—" At 11 30 a great victory was won at the bridge of Magenta. 5,000 prisoners are taken, and' 15,000 of the enemy are killed or wounded." The "great victory" is every thing. The fifteen thousand human beings killed or wounded are as nothing ! No horror is shown at so dreadful a sacrifice of human life to his criminal ambition,—no regrets, no concern whatever. Fifteen thousand of his fellow -creatures " killed or wounded," who were, doubtless, as precious in the eyes of the God of Heaven as is Louis NAPOLEON himself, — and all in a war to gratify his own arbitrary will. It may with only too much truth be said of the whole of those hostile legions that he has been the cause of calling into the field of deadly strife,—the legions of both sides,—that " They're but ambition's tools, to cut a way To their unlawful ends." But then, as the French Emperor exultingly pro claims, it is "a great victory !" Not a great sacrifice of human life,—not a wholesale manufacture of widows and orphans,—not a fearful calamity, carry ing " lamentation, and mourning, and woe" into countless humble homes —desolation and misery to innumerable h omely hearths ; hut only " a great victory,"— that is to say, a few step,; i Pt advance towards the consummation of h; ambitious, his "unlawful ends." And there is, consequently, no public manifestation of sorrow for the thousands it has hurried into eternity, or thousands more it has mauled and tortured and rendered useless for the rest of their lives, should they be prolonged, but only joy and rejoicing for the great victory! "At seven o'clock this (Sunday) evening the cannon at the Hotel des Invalides announced the vict Magenta. Paris is brilliantly illuminated." So says the Telegram. But nothing of sorrow—nothing of shame—for the slaughter that took place. ,ory at It was but a day or so before that another grwat human slaughter was committed in the same neigh bourhood. A letter from one on the spot thus alludes to it,—" This victory cost dear to the Allies —especially among the &naves.. Captain Adjutant- Major Dnu had his head carried off by a cannon ball, and some other officers were badly wounded The Piedmontese have also suffered sc ire losses. As to the Austrians, it is no exaggeration to say that they had at least 4,000 men hors de r.nnbat. A great number of their soldiers, being hotly I pursued, sword in hand, were drowned in crossing the river. 'At one moment,' said to me a Zonave, who took part in the combat, the• river was blacked up by the dead bodies of men and horses !' Add to this 1,100 prisoners who were taken either by the Teuaves or the Piedmontese. Vercelli. in fact, is now full of prisoners. Among the enemies killed were one general and several officers." Such, we say, is the horrible slaughter that is going on in LombardT And all for what? Well which, howo —suppose it be for the independ we very much doubt,— he sacrific had his hand hurt by some, machinery, and the result was death. Verdict : " Accidental death.". On the body of Patrick Martin, a labourer, fifty years of age, who died suddenly in Mr. Gardiner's public house, Cockspur-street, Vauxhall-road. The deceased was a great drunkard, and died whilst drinking in the house. Verdict, " Died of excessive drinking!' A NUISANCE.-Mr. John Fairclough, the owner of con siderable, property in Evertor, was yesterday summoned before Messrs.. Tobin and Chilton ' by the Health Com mittee,. for having a nuisance en his land—an exhausted quarry—in Everton, which has now become very offensive to the people in that locality. Mr.. J. M'Gowan was for the prosecution, and Mr. Roby for the defence. Mr Egan, an officer of the Health Committee, proved that the place was a nuisance and full of dead animals. In reply to Mr. Roby, he said there was a wall around the place, but stillit was a nuisance—it was very offensive. Fined £1 and tests, with a caution. SMi3KE NUISANCES. —Yesterday, atthe Police-court, before Messrs. Tobin and Chilton, Mr. MGo wan appeared on the part of the health committee to prosecute the following iNri3ofis for breaches of the act. Mr. Wignalt. the smoke inspector, was the complainant in each case. Messrs. Leitch, sugar refiners, of Ellenborough-street, were- summoned for an offence committed on the 21st May. Fined £1 and costs. William M'Caul, steam printer, Cartwright-place, Byrom street, was charged with a like offence. The inspector proved the case, and said he had given five notices already The defendant said the notices ran over four year £1 lOs and costs. Messrs. Storey and Co., iron founders, Jordan-street, were charged with a like offence on the 18th May. Fined a and costs. THE "FUN" IN , NTENOY-STIL RT.—Two savage-looking young fellows; named Johri Adams and Michael Lyons, two " bloods" of Fontenoy-street, were brought up, yesterday, before Mr. Mansfield, at the Police-court, by Officers Mason, 51'6, and Jones, 4291 on charges of having assaulted them. The officers stated that at half-past seven the previous evening, there was a clothes-line hanging by a wall in the street, when the prisoners-cut it d ow n, an d began trampling the things that were on it. The officers interfered, when Adams tore Mason's cape.off his shoulders )ns. , Ile also broke liis numbers. when Lyons knocked him down. A Jones then came I roughs" assembled, an& the officers . were 41- leir hats THE NORTHERN TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1859 —is it wort h (lame crowd of ' n life to so fearful an amount as t will be before the object can be accomplished? Already, it is estimated, we believe,. that some thirty or forty thousand human beings have perished in this war, which has only just begun.. And before it .s done—should it go on—the lives sacrificed. will, in ill probability, have to be counted by hundreds of And is so very dubious. a thing as " the independence of Italy," by the sword, and under the thousands. tion of one who has himself a system of des- potism in operation at home, worth such a sacrifice ? We cannot believe it. Only too truly is it remarked by an able and observant eontemporarv, that "shallow Liberalism is already too much disposed to identify French ambition with the cause of Italian independence , and if the original aggressor seemed to be unfairly treated, or even to be overmatched, his crimes and his obvious designs would soon be slurred over and forgotten." THE MINISTERIAL Ciusts.—The Advertiser anticipates that ministers will be in a minority, and that Lord Palmerston will be sent for. The Times says, whatever ouse of mmons may 'eel, the pounded with stones, broken, but their heaus escaped, and after a hard strugcrle they got the prisoners to the station. The officers said prisoners belonged to the "Molly Maquires," and the club would pay the fines, but his Worship's decision will prevent that "little bill," for he sent them to gaol for three months. THE NEW CHIEF EMIGRANT OFFICER. —LieUtCERPIt Prior, of the Government Emigration Office, has been. appointed chief emigration officer at this-port, in the place of Captain Schomberg. We have already expressed our opinion of the latter gentleman, and we have now a word to say as regards his successor. Lieutenant Prior we have had frequent opportunities of meeting professionally, and a we may say that more excellent officer is not to be found. His painstaking ira'every respect—his impartiality in the discharge of his public, and very difficult duties —the entire satisfaction that he has given to every one his urbane and kindly disposition, all have not only won for him golden opinions, but the affection and esteem of every one with whom he comes into business communication This is the public opinion in regard to Lieutenant Prior, and the appointment reflects credit on the government, whilst it does only simple justice to a most deserving and popular officer. As a private gentleman, in all respects, Lieutenant Prior claims a first place. Long may he enjoy his present well-earned position. ROYAL AMPIIITHEATILE.—Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams, have brought out a piece, written by Sterling Coyne, for themselves, called " All Hallows Eve." One of the principal effects is a reproduction of Maelise's well known picture of the subject. This generally proves an attraction to the public, but is scarcely a safe attempt, as the " Rent Day " proves, in which two of Sir David Wilkie's pictures are • 1- t with very little effect. The real pictures are as een from one point only—the groups on the stage are seen from all points of the house, and the combinations vary with every situation. Maclise's picture is less liable to this objec tion, as the groups are not so detached as in those of Sir David Wilkie's, and the number of figures prevents such close comparison, but we are still of opinion that a different principle of arrangement should be adopted on the stage from that adopted by the painter. The same incidents may be adopted, but there should always be some motion. The plot of the piece is not very new—an Irish abduction and rescue, affording Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams oppor tunities of exhibiting their aptitude for representing peculiar phases of Irish character. MR. FRANK HOWARD'S LECTURE AT SCHOOL OF THE FINE ARTS, CLAUGHTON ' BIRKENHEAD.— Last night, Mr. Frank Howard d e li vere d his second lecture on the Fine Arts, at Mr. Steer's School of the Fine Arts, Grange Mount, Birkenhead. His subject this eveninc , was " Chiaroscuro, or light and dark, as distinguished from light and shadow, in relation to composition." Mr. Howard had a number of engravings from Lionardo, Michel Angelo, Raffaelle, Rubens, Aumbal Caracie, Tintorette, Sir J. Reynolds, Opie, North cote, Fureli, Westall, Overbeck, and others, and a number of drawings to elucidate the principle of Chiaroscuro, and made a number of sketches to show how amateurs should apply these principles to sketches from nature, or ideally from history or romance. He was listened to with the greatest attention for nearly two hours, and loudly applauded by an audience composed of the most distinguished inhabi tants of Birkenhead and Clau:ghton At the request of the clergy, in consequence of their inability to attend on Wed nesday evenings, the subsequent lectures will be delivered on Thursdays. On Thursday evening next, the subject will be, " The Treatment of Colour in the Fine Arts." MR. STEER'S AMUSEMENTS IN LIVERPOOL. - Open from ten in the morning until ten at night.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT, TRANMERE.-The inquiry instituted into the proceedings of Dr. Gorst, at the poll lately taken, in reference to the adoption of the Local Government Act by the township, was resumed yesterday morning at the usual hour. The examination of witnesses was continued, and Mr James A. Rhodes, Mr.. William Coulter, Mr. Pritchard, Mr. Thomas Lewin, and Mr. John Lsv . - overseer, were sworn on behalf of the petitioner. . - ,llv dwelt as heretofore upon the con , as indicative of partiality, and charged Aril with unfairness in the service of voting papers to rate payers, and in the collection of the same, but, no new feature was developed. The case for the petitioners being concluded, Mr.. Deighton-made a few observations on the nature of the evidence adduced, to the effect that, so far as it went, it was quite apparent that those parties who opposed the adoption of the act had had every opportunity of scrutinising the voting papers, and contended that, supposing one or two of the votes disputed were illegal, that could only affect the votes in question, which would still leave a majority in favour of the act. As to the charge of partiality, he was prepared to show that the summoning officer should be one partial to the act, rather than otherwise. The court then declaied the investigation at an end, and intimated that he would take time to consider his decision. The evidence principi duct of Dr. Gors HOW THE DETECTIVES ACTED AND WERE ACTED ON. — On Monday last, a jolly tar presented himself at the Police office, and complained to Mr. Clongh, the "father" of detec tives, that his ' sea-rig " was unwarrantably detained by a boarding-house keeper, of rather threadbare conscience, in the aristocratic (?) neighbourhood of Denison-street. The worthy head of the detective department heard with indig nation the woeful tale of the worthy son of Neptune, and with that alacrity with which he endeavours to make " rogues honest" and protect honesty, he ordered detectives Redman and Boyce to get under weigh, and steer to the house of the crimp, with instructions to obtain and restore the property to the owner, On the arrival of the officers at the house, they introduced themselves to the better-half (the lord and master being absent), informed her of their business, &c. She at first refused t o dissolve partnership with Jack's pants, wide-awake, and a number of etceteras, but the good looks and persuasive manner of Redman, and the blandness of Boyce, soon over came her original resolution, and she, with becoming female modesty, ushered the former officer into a room up stairs, stating it contained the object of their visit. She, of course, feeling shy to enter, and, when safely inside its precincts, she most unceremoniously turned the key, leaving him in durance vile. Fortunately he left Boyce at the foot of the stairs to look out for squalls, who, observing her hasty retreat down stairs, key in hand, and hearing the fist of his brother in arms and the room door making acquaintance, took her gently by th e h an d ( no t to shake it).in order to obtain the key, but she, observing this, with the quickness of a juggler, was about transferring it to her bosom, when the movement was arrested by Boyce who, whilst bringing his hand in close proximity with her chin, was seized by the thumb, and before he could extricate it from its painful position, her molars and incisors caused such an indentation as laid the bone bare. Ultimately he released his comrade from his unenviable situation ; the "togs" were recovered, and Jack, with his two deliverers, made their exit from the scene of action, the former exclaiming with stentorian lungs, " Shiver my timbers, but she can nip like a lobster." The offices is determined for the future to beware of "dimpled chins and ivory teeth," and says, with much solemnity r that he " caught a tartar." AWFULLY SUDDEN; DEATHS.--Yesterday 'morning, a man named Patrick Martin, residing in a gou r t off Smith fleld-street, went into the house of' Mr. Sutton, of Cock spur-street, to order a glass of ale, when he sat down upon a seat in the shop, and shortly afterwards fell off it a lifeless corpse. The deceased was a dock labourer, and about 50 years of age and upwards. He had latterly been much addictecbto intemperate habits, and made drink 1 as beveragc for nourishment and support. He loathed anything in the shape of - food, and the result was, that he has 'been suddenly galled to stand before the Judge of all the earth. He has left a .wife and family to deplore his lamentable end.—The second case is that of a man named John Barrett, a brick labourer, in the employ of Messrs. Macfie and Sons, who was engaged at his employment at the sugar-house, Batchelor-street, where so many hands are engaged by those extensive and indulgent sugar refiners. Barrett lives in Midghalb-street, has a wife and two children, and was about 36 years of age. He happened to be engaged at the top of the roof at the time, when he suddenly dropped in a fit. Medical' aid was in prompt attendance, but life was extinct. We may state, as concerns Barrett, that he was a steady, honest labourer, but subject to fits, and in one o those it is supposed he died.—A melanehol affair als occurred at the same sugar-house immediately preCeding the death of poor Barrett. A man named Hugh Sh e il s , _ a labourer at the es !efeiTed carrying or al-yard iri Leah I of taking, a drink of cold water, was I cramps, from which he could not be ix night. He still isin a most precarious independent] 'ail effect. IN Is in the ease of not repose confidence long in a government which, after an adverse decision in parliament ;, takes refuge in the pretence that the failure at home involied a failure abroad, and that the government which was beaten on its Reform Bill was therefore disregarded in its attempts at mediation THE COURT. Her Majesty the Queen went in state on Tuesday afternoon to the House of Lords,"to open the Session of Parliament with a speech from the throne. The State procession was formed and left Buckingham Palace, at ten minutes b e f ore two o'clock.

MEMORIAL,— Yesterday, a bazaar in aid of the memorial to Dr. Clarke at present in course of erection at Portrushy County Antrim was held at the Academy Rooms, Post-offi The rooms- were beautifully ornamented N th flower greens, and banners of all nations-. Over the main entrance was an original portrait of Dr. Clarke, and a cast of the statue which has been presented by the. United States was exhibited on the occasion. The cast, which was taken by Mr. Macbride, of this town, is an excellent one, and many gentlemen who had at one time the honour of being acquain ted with Dr. Clarke, declared it to bg• an excellent likeness. There were about a dozen stalls, at each of which several ladies presided. These stalls were loaded with various descrip tions of useful and ornamental articles. One of the most notable articles present was the study chair of Dr. Clarke, made from a tree grown on the grounds of Judge Bosauquet, near London, and lent for the occasion by Mrs. Frauceys, of Roscommon-street, in this town. At twelve o'clock the bazaar was opened by the singing of a hymn, after which prayer was offered up. Mr. Cather, in a few brief remarks, introduced Thomas Farmer, Esq., and moved that that gentleman take the chair. This having been done, Mr. Farmer, addressed those present at some length. He touched on his conversion to Christ, which, he averred, was by means of the good advice given him personally by Dr. Clarke, and from the writings of that great man. He had been led by him to the true God ; and, by the grace of God, he continued to this day, and would endeavour to continue in that state until the end of his days. In the absence of the Rev. Mr. Arthur, of London who is confined to home through ill health, the Rev. Mr. Rigg delivered an address upon the character and memory of Dr. Clarke. After a few introductory remarks, Mr. Rigg proceeded to say that Dr. Dixon, the previous evening, had disparaged the claims of Ireland to Dr. Clarke. There was no doubt that he was born in Ireland, but he had passed the main portion of his life in England. We can hardly call him an Irishman. He belongs to a compound race. Part were Irish, part were from the north country of England, and part from Scotland. In his ancestry he can count seven teen kings of Ireland, so that there i s pl en ty o f C e l t i c bl oo d there. Then we have the Boyds of the Lowlands of Scot land, and his mother was a M'Lean of the Hebrides in the extreme Highlands. Now, there we have a pretty fair mixture of blood. - As it is contended by some ethnologists and physiologists that there is nothing to equal the mixture of races, we must believe this mixture had some influence in rendering Dr. Adam Clarke such a learned, great, and glorious man. He found some Presbyterians and Episco palians in his ancestry; aye, even a Quaker. This Quaker was so strict in his religious tenets that he would not appear before the Prince of Orange with his hat on his head, and he was such an Irish gentleman that he would not appear before him with his hat in his hand ; so he took a middle course, and left his hat at home. The speaker then proceeded to give a rapid and interesting biography of Dr. Clarke. Clarke's father nor his mother knew on what year he was born, whether in 1760 or 1762; and his uncle, the Rector of the parish in - which he was baptised, had not even put his name in the parish register. Mr. Rigg traced Dr. Clarke's course up to the time when he became an author, the editor of numerous reviews, the acquaintance of a great many learned statesmen and" divines, and finally the writer of that great work, his " Commentary on the- Bible." The speaker was listened to with much attention, and after proceeding to give an analysis of the character and religious views of Dr. Clarke, he concluded by an eloquent peroration on his honesty and ability. The secretary, Mr. Cather, then made a few remarks, rea di ng a list of donations to the funds of the bazaar,..amounting to nearly £lOO, and moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Rigg, the latter gentleman responded,. and moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was seconded by Mr. C. Rawlins, who handsomely subscribed towards the funds. The preliminary proceedings then terminated, and the real business of the bazaar—buying and selling—commenced. The bazaar will be open this day (Thursday) also, and as the work is rich, varied, and beautiful, we hope the ladies, who are so warmly interested in the success of the sale, will be generously sup ported till its close to-night. —A pious Irishman, Reporter, , me rafters, &c A FRANK AND WITTY IRISHMAN living in a neighbourin not long )wn, says the Bright, since, in exhortir "Me beloved friends, and, me friends, if the in tkis house, I . would be willin' to y too many slapers a slaper (sleeper) myself 'No MAN, however wi ;, however, 'tis folly to be Wise where ignorance is blis A. few da .eet recont re occurred in the rural village of Hudsim, on the North River, occasioned by a gentleman finding his wife and daughter promenading, after dark, with "another feller."

AN EDITORIAL SALAMANDER.---Captain Bossiere, of the New Orleans Courier, who was shot by his partner, Mr. Vernon, is now in a fair way to recover. The Crescent says it is but th e lat es t o f a ser i es o f di sas ters, which shows that the captain bears a charmed life. Iri 1828 he commanded, a ship in the E g ypt a in service, and in the battle of Navarino his ship was blown up and himself badly wounded. Returning to his native country, he engaged in naval serv i ce on the Gulf of Mexico, and was engaged in the attack on Porto Bello. There also his ship was blown up and himself again wounded. At a later period, he was y ac hti ng i n the Gulf one day, and hailed a ship and boarded her to obtain supplies. There being rumours of pirates at the time, his yacht was mistaken for a pirate vessel and hims e lf f or a pirate. Under this mistake, the crew of the ship assaulted him as soon as he stepped on board, and beat him down with marlin spikes, billets of woleoadvianngdholinthesreamseilsesaisleosn; and b r eaking several of his bones, the deck.
