The Liberal party has been completely split in twain by the appearance of two candi dates, soliciting the same interest. A most excited public meeting was held on Tuesday night, by the .Liberals, for the purpose of deciding whether Mr. Edwin James or Mr. Weguelin should be adopted, and conducted to the hustings. After both candidates had given a detailed statement of their respective political creeds, the Chairman called for a show of hands, when he declared the choice of the meeting had fallen upon Mr. James, but this the meeting would not tolerate ; and, another gentleman taking . Abe chair, it was resolved that Mr. Weguelin should have the support of the Liberal party. Our latest Southampton advices inform us that, if some right understanding be not agreed to between these two candidates, and if both persist in going to the poll, Sir Edward Butler, the Conservative candidate, will poll between them, and, in all like !Blood, be the successful competitor. The murder of Mr. Little, at the terminus of the Irish Midland Great Western Railway, in Dublin, still baffles the cleverest of the detective police. At the same time, no effort is being left untried to find out the barbarous miscreant ; and, according to advices received from Dublin, hopes are still entertained that ere many days elapse the suspected culprit will be iu the hands of justice. The following are the latest particulars which have reached us ;—lt appears that from a number ofcirenmstances which gradually transpired in the course of the investigation the attention of the police was especially fixed on one or two per .sons. Every day's enquiry served to strengthen suspicion, which has now, we understand, become all but certainty. We have already stated that the murderer must have been well known to Mr. Little, and must have been in conversation with him at the time the fatal blow was given ; and we may now add that oue of the persons on whom suspicion has fallen was well known to the urifor tunate gentleman, and was frequently in commu nication with the deceased. Diligent search has been made for the money which was car gielaway by the assassin, as well as for the razor to Match the due found in the canal, but what the result Ails been we are unable to say. Information was voluntarily tendered on Monday to the parties bY who'm the investigation is being note d by a pers on w h o stated the c i rcumstance , -ng on his mind, and he could not do than disclose it, to the effect that on the evening of the murder he saw a man dressed in a fustian jacket cross the boundary wall of the railway, near the ear entrance; that the man then proceeded to the canal, crossed the wooden bridge, and dropped some heavy matter into it, which, in the opinion of the informant, might have b een the money stolen, and capable of being removed befOre the discovery was made that a m urder had be en committed. Further particulars of This strange revelation have not transpired, nor, supposing it to be accurate, is it thought to narrow the search materially, as the police believe that the jacket was probably assumed for the occasion, and effectually destroyed before the illusion that the unfortunate deceased had committed suicide was dissipated.

It is stated that some persons in the employment of the company are wider the stir. veillance of the police; - The political soirees of Mr, Ernest Jones have not yet been given up. On Tuesday night he met a large number of the working classes in St. Martin's Hall, London, when he addressed them .on the subject of an Established Church, arid for once his reasoning was calm and legitimate, and his language free from that frantic and exciting strain which has too often characterised his political harrangues. One of our London daily cotemporaries, alluding to this move ment, remarks :—" The object of Mr. Jones evidently is to win political- power for those who are unenfranchised, but it is remarkable that, as yet, he appears to stand alone in the tribune. : The consequence is, that, the assembly becomes entirely his own disciples. They have not the chance of that which the ancient Christians called a diver-. situ of gifts,' and unless there be a change in this' respect, we may well suppose that the Chartist agitation will divide into a political sect, and become inoperative for want of intellectual vivacity." The local intelligence in this day's NORTHERN TIMES, is not only full and varied, but interest ing. The Town Co-ineil held a special meeting yesterday, for the purpose of electing a treasurer in the room of Mr. Wybergh resigned, and also a successor to Mr. Capes Ashlin deceased. On this occasion, Mr. J..R. _Jeffery made his maiden speech as a local senator, and we are - glad to find that he had, as we expected he would, an eye to•the purse strings of the corporation. He -made a few practical remarks upon the impolicy in these days of extraordinary railway and other monster defalca tions, of allowing their treasurer to draw upon the bankers of the corporation, by his individual cheque. Mr. Jeffery, as an able financer, would diminish the responsibility of the treasurer, lesson the amount of his bond ; and, there fore, pay him a smaller salary, and moved a resolution to the effect that the salary of the treasurer to the corporation be £5OO a year, that the bond be reduced to £5.000, and that each '! cheque be countersigned by the chairman or deputy chairman of the Finance Committee. Mr. Robertson Gladstone warmly supported Mr. Jcffery's motion on the ground of economy, and keeping in mind the precarious position of the Town Dues, and other questions bearing directly upon the financial resources of the corporation. After some discussion Mr. Alderman Holme replied to theld speech of Mr. Jeffery, acquiescing in the motion to have_ the cheques countersigned, but opposing the reduction of the treasurer's salary; Ultimately, Mr. Tweedie was appointed Treasurer to the Corporation, at a salary of £6OO, and . Mr. White Treasurer to the Health Committee, at a salary of £5OO, the former gentleman to find security for £B,OOO, and the latter for £5,000. The question of the attendance of the Borough Magis trates was considered, and, from what transpired, there is little doubt but an additional number will be appointed, so that the business of the Police Court will be disposed of with. punctuality, and' the public will no longer be subjected to the delays and inconvenience which we haVe had to expose on more than one occasion. _ The West Derby Guardians held their weeklx,. meeting yesterday, but the proceedings_ did not contain any matters of moment. It would, how ever, be somewhat strange if no charges or com plaints against some of the officials connected with the Union were not on the tapis. The Rev. Mr. Postaince, incumbent of St. .Tame-i's, Toxteth Park, complained of Mr. Latham, the relieving officer, charging him. with neglecting and refusing to afford relief to several parties, although they were in great dis tress, and deserving of it. The reverend gentle man also charged Mr. Latham with drunkenness. A committee was appointed to investigate the charges. An interesting meeting was held at the Adelphi Hotel, yesterday, the friends of the Church Educa tion Society, in Liverpool, having assembled at a public breakfast, to hear an address from J. C. Colquhoun, Esq., of Killermont, on the subject of public instruction. We have reported the proceedings at length, and reserve to another occasion our remarks thereon. Our columns, this morning, contain interesting news from several of the leading Continental Froin Constantinople WA lear n that, as regards the new Ministry, matters are neither so settled or smooth as many parties would fain believe. The Russian difficulties, as left by the late Ministry, are a source of annoyance _ and perplexity to their sue cessors. It is said that no positive answer has been, as yet, given to the proposal of the Porte to refer the disputed points to the decision of Austria, England, and France ; but as the telegraph was daily employed in carrying questions and explanatory answers between Constantinople, Paris, and London, a solution, one way or the another, was hourly anticipated. We are informed that on the sitting of the German Diet, on the 200} inst., the Governments of Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, and Baden notified to the Assembly that, in execution of the resolution of the 6th instant, relative to the affair of Neuchatel, they had forwarded , instructions to their diplomatic agents accredited to the Swiss Confederation, couched in the sense of that resolu tion. Le Nord publishes a long state doeuinent from the Greek Ministry of Finance, dated last July, giving an exposition sufficiently flattering of the state of Greece, political, financial, and social. It is addressed to M. Tricoupi, to be laid before the English Government. The existence of a Russian diplomatiC circular offering to give up the Serpents' Island, but per sisting in the claim to Bolgrad; has been denied by our Ministerial papers, while the French press continues to affirm it. It is possible that the document in question is not in the form of a circular, but that such a proposal has been made to the Cabinets of London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, and Constantinople, in some form or other, would appear certain from the simultaneous mention of it in the press of Paris, Brussels, and The Emperor of the French is said to have addressed a private letter to the Emperor of Russia, pointing out the necessity for the maintenance of the peace of Europe, of his co-operating with England in carrying out the treaty of the 30th - March, even should he be unable to approve of the construction on every point which his allies put upon the treaty. A telegraphic despatch, dated Paris, Wednesday night, has reached us. It is to the following effect :—The Prussian correspond. ence states that the general opinion of Europe acknowledges the legitimate right, le von droit, of Prussia upon Neufchatel, and concludes by calling to mind the great military power of Prussia We observe that, on the application of Mr. Sleigh, the counsel for Afarley, the Parliament• street murderer, the trial, is fixed to take place on Friday morning. RUSSIA has been foiled in war. Her strongest citadels have been blown about her ears. The vastness of her territorial dimensions has proved the weakness of her empire. Military despotism has its limit, beyond which it eannot go without the aid of the great elements of civil life, and extra ordinary material prosperity, which belongs to an advanced stage of civilisation; - As the Russia of a million bayonets, she can be invaded, her fortresses besieged, and her power overthrown. To be able to bear the shocks of war she must cultivate the arts of peace. Defenceless as she is, without rail ways, she finds she would be nowhere without steam-boats at command, as we have them. The number of armed vessels the CZAR Will be allowed to keep in the Black Sea henceforth would not admit of his making any very formidable descent on neighbouring States. No sudden irruption of his hordes of Cossacks can take place in the absence of those facilities of transport which our mercantile fleet can always afford us, when we are driven to take up arms. This self- evident military and political in feriority has no doubt become exceeding'y painful to the 'Muscovite iu his moments of sober reflection. Ris grand trunk lines would be of little service unities he secures the through transit fO. his troops tor tlleir 4n - al destination. The NORTRERN SOPPONI steam tonnage reitthed to goat them from Odessa to anitantinopie or 'ficird .9.etiastopor cr TrObi: zond, would stilt be wanted to secure the accom -Plairient of a - great military design. To supply this want, the Russian Government have projected no less than eleven lines of steam com munication in the Black Sea and Mediterranean 3 with thMr termini atOcle'ssa. Of , this'shameleislanbble We can only speakin the same language we - employed some months since, when commenting on the AUTOCRAT'S railway schemes. They are all based on the same sanguin ary and brutal designs against the lives and liber ties of Eastern Europe. The CZAR wants transports for his lawless invaders. Though another 100 years i must elapse before he can exercise sovereign sviay - OVer . the East, he would rather lay the entire 'shores of the Danube and Black Sea waste for a . century than allow the rich priie to escape his despotic grasp ; and to carry out his perfidious plot, he calls on the capitalists of. Western Europe —the directors of those new diplomatic creations, the Credit :Mobilier, stock jobbing shops, to help him out with his plans. Some of our ablest poli cians have told us that there are other passions in the human breast besides the auri sacra fames, and other devils besides Mammon, and we hope that the people of this country will show the crafty despot, that these allegations are true, and that there are other virtues in the British nation besides the .friedom with which they grant a political pardon to those who rob them of their blood and treasure ; that our patriotism, as a people, is stronger than our cravingS after gold. Treachery towards ourselves and our children, is a far worse devil than Mammon; and the British subject who would advance one penny piece to Russia to enable her to strengthen the position she has taken np against civilisation, would be a traitor towards his country, and an enemy of the whole `huMan - race.. Should any such maniac be found in the " money-world," the Legislature ought to step in and bind his hands. If Russia be really a " great Power," she can make her own railways, and build her own steam_ boats, with her paper roubles. The value of her legal : tender s system ,would speedily exhibit itself, if it were set in operation on reproductive works. When used for military chests only, the employ ment of the flimsy rouble leaves nothing behind it. If employed as the instrument to create railways and establish lines of steam-boats which would yield a profit to. the whole com munity, it would prove an immense blessing to the CZAR'S dominions. When paper money ' is employed for military parades and courtly fetes, which leave nothing after them, it then becomes a curse to a people. But when it is resorted to to -carry-on great- national-works, - as - we employ bills of exchange, on which the producer has to pay a heavy discount, what an unbroken chain of pro sperity would follow in its wake. While Russia, then, has her printing presses ready to throW off millions of paper roubles, can get land for rail. ways for nothing, and timber and iron for her locoinotiTes and steamers by employing labour only, why does she come to the Western Powers fOr money ? There must be some millions of specie in her government coffers, or national banks, and why.not exhaust that before they commence borrowing ? The CZAR likes patronage, and his capitalists love good dividends, punctually paid , quite as much as French and British subjects. Can it be that:the prospects of a return from such grand enterprises as those which have issued from the Kremlin are too far off—too much obscured by _.the clouds which hang over the future of the Rue-. sian Empire—so vast that the Muscovite mind connot comprehend them, or so stupendous that it must take fifty years to complete them? The serf evidently has but little faith in his rail. way Emperor. He knows full well what the iron rule of despotism means. But his heart seems to recoil at the thoughts of the extraordinary develop ment iron roads would give to the spirit and power of the oppressor. The CZAR is driven to come abroad and declare the weakness of absolute rule, and to submit to the agonising reproach of being quoted at a discount. Imperial ALEXINDRIA'N Five per cent Railway Stock, and O'DoNNELL's coup d'etat Stock, endorsed by NARVAEZ, would. stand at about the same figure in our Stock Exchange lists. Russian coupons and Spanish bonds of_lBstl, should they ever appear, will supply our butter-shops and cheesemongers with waste paper, bearing the , Royal arms of the great and little tyrants of our time. This is how treason towards the peace and progress of our kind has invariably been rewarded. If the CZAR wants to make railways and build steam fleets for his purposes, he knows how to go about the work without the help of this or any other country ; but he cannot pledge the honour of his crown, or his word as a man worthy to rule over an Empire, that he can pay a dividend in metallic money on the 40,000,000/. of foreign capital he is seeking to obtain. •To get possession of a majestic sum, he makes princely promises. All this is natural enough. There is a professional way o f wiel ling a sceptre,' and for so young an Emperor it is somewhat promising to find that the dawning ALEXANDER is such an adept at his business. We have always admired the political philosophy of making an enemy supplythe funds for his own destruction, and we cannot withhold our humble praise from the AUTOCRAT whom we find labouring to bring the art of war to the highest perfection in the time of peace. We were the first to scout the the idea of any Englishman's advancing money to a Government who are opposed'to us in every step we take for the material, moral, religious, and civil advancement of the human family, and we have only to add that, the man who would lend money on any terms to the bitterest foes, of his country ought be expelled from society. THE Ray. MR. MACHATIGHT'S 'LETTER TO THE Bsawnp or CHESTER.—We can only at this moment call attention to the remarkable pamphlet published by the Rev. Mr. Macnaught in reply to the work of the Rev. 3. B. Lowe. The latter gentlemen's book—a stricture on Mr. Mac. naught's " Doctrine of Inspiration "—having been dedi cated by, permission to the Lord Bishop of Chester, and thus receiving, in appearance at least. the countenance of his lordship's authority, Mr. Machaught haifelt himself bound to address his defence against the ettack made on him to the Bishop of Chester personally, It is an eloquent and indignant protest, deserving full consideration, and which cannot fail to produce considerable effect, even on the minds of prejudiced opponents.

Duteh Rhenish, is We are glad to state that the prospects of the Money Market have so far improved as to warrant the expectation that a reduction in the minimum rate of interest by the Bank of England will soon be made. This impression stimulates the upward movement in the Funds, and, at the same time, checks the demand for money, because parties defer obtaining more accommodation than they inimediately. .reqiiire. in the , hope of procuring it, ere long, upon easier terms. At the same time the Lombari-street houses are charging within a fraction of the Bank rate for the negotiation of 60 days' bills, and as.the directors arelikely to proceed in the most cautious inanner,.the idea . that a,,reduc tion will be made at the sitting' to morrow is not shared in by the. majority of those interested in the course of monetary events. The bullion has received some very material additions, and the Reserve has probably also been augmented, but the demand for money is still active, and several other circum stances of minor importance will have to be care- fully considered before the directors will be induced to relax their restrictive. policy. To-day the enquiry for discounts is quieter, and the quotations rather tend downwards. On the Stock Exchange the demand for money is not very active. The rates of c` continuation" in the Share Market, however, are heavy, and for Consols the quotation is still 4 per cent. The city article contained, in the leading journal of to day, the following reSpecting the Bank Discount : The question now occupying attention is whether the Bank of .England will i.rmediatelv reduce their rate of interest to 6 per cent. An impression is generally enter tained that the step should be adopted without delay. Sine() the publication of the last Gazette return many persons have been disposed to consider that the advance to 7 - per cent was not justified by the position of the Bank accounts ; and, although the majority of prudent persons do not join in that opinion since the heavy appearance of the foreign ex changes, the absence of recovery in Paris, the further rise in the price of silver at Sbanghee, and the doubts regarding the overdue Australian vessels, afforded at that time every stimulus to increased caution, there is tow a total change of prospect on each point, ex ept as regards the Eastern exchanges,- for _which we must wait -the- next mail from China. In alt parts of the continent the rate of discount is from 1 to 14 per cent. below that of the Bank of England, and in this state of affairs our traders are necessarily at the disadvantage of competing with rivals who can work with cheaper capital. The entire industry of the country is thus affected, and hence promt action is indispensable. No one supposes that if the James Baines and the Lightning had arrived a fortnight back, and £400,000 of their gold had been taken to the bank, the movement to 7 per cent. would ever have been resolved upon; and these supplies having now been received, matters should be restored to the point at which they would then have been allowed to remain. It may be urged that if the bank were to defer a reduction it would not materially affect com mercial interests, since, if there was inherently a downward tendency in the money market, the other esta— blishments would soon lower their rates, and the result would be simply that the Bank would have no custom. But this-argument would be incorrect. The amounts falling due at the Bank are so heavy, and will be so much increased by the revenue payments towards the end of the quarter, that they will virtually have the command of the market in their own hands. They are therefore bound to act upon a broad view of the'legitimate wants of the country; and it is the more important that there should be no hesitation in this respect, since it is desirable fer the public to rely th- t, while under the Bank Charter Act there is •no escape from such wholesome and instantaneous pressure as may be necessary for the general safety, the relief is equally certain as soon as that pressure has answered its olid, To-day the Market for Public Securities was firm, and although the extent of business transacted was limited prices were well sustained. During the next day or two the arranvement of the Foreign Stock and Railway Share Accounts will occupy the chief attention, and the consol settlement will also soon have to be effected. Consols for Money were done to-day at, 938, 94, and 941- ; for December Account, 94, 94k, and 9q; and for January, 941 95.

The total stock, as given in the Brokers' Circular, is only 371,040 bales against 482,740 bales at the same period last year, the deficiency being almost entirely in East India Cotton. .The quantity at sea is also small, being 32,600 bales against 91,000 bales last year of American, and • 61,500 against 96,000 bales last year of East Indian, so that the stock in Liverpool must gradually dWindle down during the remainder of the year. ' Bat this need not occasion much anxiety to the trade for the time being, as the-new crop is now coming ,rapidly down to the - United States shipping 'ports, the quantity received having at length surpassed that at the corres ponding period of last year n , when so large a quan - tity came down of, the growth of the previous year, At 'Huddersfield, yesterdaY,' there was a b e tte r attendance of buyers, principally from Dublin and ,Glasgow. There was a greater disposition to .purchase regular - niarLet goods, at a reduction in price if _possible; which, in every instance was rejected-to', and;prices remained firm, with a ten dency to a4"nitice• Although stock s are i ncreas i ng, : Manufactures do not appear 4o be inclined to sell, except at fair remunerative prices, in face of the advance in dig wool-market, Ic.ersey's, in blacks iWiiaaaowisiA*** . dnd bluoi, eater d i(gvikeis**lko Landon and Scotch - houses, at prices varying from 4s 9d to.ss ed a yard. Fancy trowserings with smart -borders , are also in good request,- and there is a fair amount of business done in mohair and Himalaya cloths for cloakings. Altogether there is more doing than is usual at this season of the year. The local wool market has partaken of the ttpward movement ofthe London wool sales. - Qhr Leeds advices inform us that although there •Was'inat a large •attendanee at the Cloth Halls' yesthrday, the tone of:the market was animated, and a better business transacted. There is still adult and inanimate trade going, forward in all descriptions of grain and grain pro duce. The business transacted in Mark lane today, was not only limited, but prices were barely sustained. A telegraph report speaks of a similar state of things in the Glasgow market. .Adt,loe9 from the Foreign Wool markets, state that at Pesth -there has been a good demand at firm,prices, and medium, as well as fine sorts have risen 2to 5 florins. From Breslau, we learn that the price of the raw material has suffered a decline, and at Moscow there has,, been a good deal of activity, in consequence of the shertness of the stock. Washed wools of fine quality, realised 33 to 34-.roubles; and middling kinds, 29' to 32 renbleS.

The Marseilles Silk market, is described in the advices as being .dull, with a downvtard tendency in prices. At Milan, on the 15th instant, there was very little activity in this article, but an improvement in this respect was soon expected. Prices ; howeVer, were well supported. _The amount Of bills drawn by the Honourable East _lndia Company, on the three Presidencies of Bengal, Madras, - and Bombay, from the 9th to the 25th November, has been On Bengil On Madras On Bombay £22,077 9 4 Further parcels of gold, to the amount of 100,0004 have been sent into the Bank of England. The total purchased-by theinstitution . , out of the recent arrivals, is upwards of half a million sterling. The residue has been taken for the Continent, chiefly for the Bank of France,which is now sending to London large masses of bills against these bullion remit tances. Nearly the whole of the recent heavy supplies of gold have now been cleared off the market. It is scarcely necessary to point out that the retention of so large a sum as half a million and upwalAs forms a very important feature at the present juncture. Against this- amount of gold deposited in the Bank, notes to a corresponding value have, - of course, been issued, and form an addition to the total available for employment. ,But the stimulus which is given to public confidence by this influx of gold into the Bank is a gain of still greater importance. ARCHITECTURAL AND ARCH/EOLOGICAL Swim - sr.—The fifth meeting of the present session, was held last night at the society's rooms, Colquitt-street. After the routine business and a desultory conversation, the paper of the evening was on " Alexandria in 47 and 48," by Mr. Cox ; an interesting subject, and ably handled. The following donations were received :—" Minutes of the Meeting of the Royal Institute of British Architects, on the 3rd of November," from the institute. " Proceedings :of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Liverpool, No. 10," from the society. " Reports to the Right Hon. William Cowper, M.P., on. the Metropolis Water Supply," from R. Rawlinson, Esq. " The Building Chronicle, No. 32," and " The Land and Building News, Nos. 33 and 34,' from the ;editors; and " Remarks on the Liverpool Building Act," from Mr. J. Boult. LECTURE By P. E. DOVE, ESQ IN HOPE HAIL,—Of the various luminaries in the intellectual firmament who have been, or are to be, shining this winter upon our town, P. E. Dave, Esq., is neither the least nor the dimmest. This, gentleman, - who is to lecture to-night in Hope Hall on " Louis and the Waldenses," occupies a foremost place in the ranks of philosophical champions. His acquaintance with subjects, political, philosophical, and religions, is of no common extent, variety, and accuracy. Great is his power of concentrating his, thoughts upon a 'subject, of taking an intellectual cast from its mould, and of framing in appropriate language a striking and faithful verbal portraiture of the original. As an author, his work upon the Theory of Human Progression has won for him a high celebrity as one of the profoundest and ablest" thinkers of the age. He has also acquired a high reputation as an interesting and popular lecturer. THE JEWEL ROBBERY. ISCOYERED.—DISCOVERY OF THE OWNER. -In our 'impression of yesterday we gave the de tails of the capture of three persons in Liverpool on suspicion of being concerned in a robbery of jewellery, and other valuable property found in their possession, as described in the paper. Since the arrest of the prisoners, it has been ascertained that the shop of Mr. Holmes, of Market street, Manchester, wao'bioken into, between Saturday night 'and Monday morning, by some person, who made an entrance by getting into the house, through a hole made in the roof,' and property to the amount of from £250 to £3OO was ab stracted. The greater portion of the property so stolen, has been identified amongst the property found by ' A y coc k, the officer, in the trunk which he got in the room, where he arrested the prisoners in Standish street. The prisoners will be transmitted for examination to Manchester, and will then probably be committed for trial at the assizes, which commence here next week. The officer deserves credit for his activity in this affair. It is stated that Sir Matthew White Ridley, Bart, of Blagdon, near Newcastle, has, in consequence of the lata bad harvest, given notice to his farm tenants, in order that they- may_get their eorn into condition, that he does not require their rents to be liaid.until February next. NARROW ESCAPE OF OSTEND. —A letter, dated Ostend, the 20th inst., says " that a heavy gale had visited that coast. - It 'caused the sea to break with such force on our sea-dike as to open a large and yawning breach in one part, and leave us in the greatest fear of a complete inundation of the whole town. The whole of the garrison were occupied during the night of the 12th and 13th. endeavouring to stop this gap with sandbags and turf. Thanks to their efforts, the complete destruction of the sea bank has been averted ; but a very little nine and the town would have suffered the fate of the many ancient villages which were swallowed up by the sea, and buried beneath the sands on which modern Ostend is THE CATIta - ICS AND THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY.— Every single vote at and about the J e suit C o llege at Ferd ham,'fromthe chief priests to the boot blacks, was dragged out and polled for Buchanan and slavery. We don't complain of this--they voted as they saw fit, as was their right ; but is it not monstrous that thousands of free soil voters should have been scared off from voting for Fremont by utterly false and baseless pretences that he was a Catholic, nominated to c Itch the Catholic votes and that Bishop Hughes and all the Romish hierarchy were hard at work for him ? In this city there were not lea than 20,000 votes cast by Catholics, and not one in every fifty,of them for Fremont. Yet thousatids voted against him because of the Dog Noble's knavish bow-wowing, fearing that his election would give us all over to the tender mercies of the Pope ! Shall we never outgrovr these puerilities ;—./Vetv York Tribune. MURDER AT STONEY CREEIC.--Much sensation has bden created at' Stoney Creek by the prepetration of a horrible murder on the morning of the 29th ult. A man named Brinley '(from Newtown), in a pa rox y sm o f j e al ous y cut his wife s throat in a most shocking manner. The unfor tunate woman rushed to an adjoining tent and immediately fell down and expired. Brinley then inflicted a wound on his own throat, which, however, did not prove fatal. The coroner for the district attended on the following day and impannelled a jury, which returned a verdict of " wilful murder," and the murderer was removed in custody of the police. The unhappy couple were both natives of the colony, and both young ; they had been but a short time married. The necessity for the establishment of police protection here is becoming very urgent. On the night of Sunday, the 27th July, an Irishman, in a fit of intoxica-' Lion, knocked down his mate and heat him in a terrible manner about the head with a lump of quartz. The wounded man, however, is now in a fair way of recovery. —Sydney Empire, August 11, THE DANCER OE DEALING WITH QUACK DOCTORS.—An inquest was held on Tuesday morning, before Mr. T. Ff. Dearden, coroner, on the body of John Winterbottorn, a self acting minder at Wallshaw Mill, who died on the previous night of inflammation of the brain, reselting frem a spindle having accidentallyrnn -into his heel on the 6th instant. The deceased was oiling his "jenny" d ur i ng th e dinner hour on Thursday the Bth instant, and whilst stepping down to the floor, and being without shoes, he set his foot on the point of a spindle which bad got fast between the boards of the floor, and which entered his heel. The wound appeared trifling, awl he paid little attention to it until Saturday, when it bec`arne so painful that he could not work, About two years ago he met with an acci !ent of a precisely similar nature in the same way, and he now followed the same means of cure which had then proved effectual—viz., fomentation and poultices: No' improve ment taking place, on Moitday-kte called in. a, 4 ‘ quack doctor" in the neighbouillood in which he resided, who attended him for a week, supplying him with his nostrums during that time, but his foot got rapidly worse. On the 15th, Mr. Staveacre, surgeon, was called in, but inflam mation had set in. Remedies to check it were, of course), resorted to, but without effect, for it gradually spread until it attacked the brain, and he died on Friday tight. 'lt was stated that, had the am:gm 46)1 . 2 called 'in in ti me , t h e woun d might have beep cured with little trouble ; and the coroner remarked that this was another instance of the danger •of people trying experiments with quacks, instead of going at once to men who were properly qualified.
