gdiei'equivalent to those which he may draw foie the provinces which have passed from the authority of His • Holiness to his own, provided His Holiness recognises the necessity of these provinces being governed a little better than they have been up to the present time, which would not be difficult. The apprehensions expressed by this writer on the subject of the contents of the public museums, libraries, and picture galleries, with which Rome abounds, are far from unnatural in the circumstances ; but if it be true, as is now generally believed, that his Holiness himself will not be allowed to leave his capital, it is not likely that the French will permit him to dispose of any of the property of which he is the custodies for the benefit of Europe, and the civilised World at large. Since the recent transformation of the Champs Elysees, they have become the most agreeable and the most beautiful promenade in Paris Nothing can be more animated or more carious than the appearance of this favourite place of resort on a Sunday, which is always, as you know, set apart by the Parisians as the great day for amusements and recreation of all kinds. The walks and terraces, where formerly the fair denizens of the beau monde would not have ventured to set their foot, are now transformed into charming gardens, laid out with the most per fect taste. Here may be found united almost every possible kind of amusement and entertain ment which the Parisian delights in—cafés, con certs, wooden horses, aerial navigation, marionette theatres, restaurants, brasseries, pistol and rifle galleries, and an infinite variety of other attrac tions far too numerous to mention. The appear ance of crowds of people as they move about, indicates the usual overplits of aniMation, gaiety, sauciness and delight, which distinguish our volatile neighbours; and if the adjoining Palais de l'lndustrie were not the desert that it now is, Owing to the Exhibition having closed, the scene Would be unequalled. Various schemes have been suggested for turning this beautiful building to account, which are received with different degrees of favour. One proposition is,—atid it receives a good deal of support,—to hold within its spacious and elegant encloshres, in the spring and autumn, a horse fair, the usefulness and great kmportance of Which in this capital, where a vast deal of attention has been given to the subject of improvitl the breed o f h orses o f l a t e , wou ld soon ~ very highly appreciated. Other parties suggest that the building should be used as a concert room on a large scale • but it is very doubtful w hetter the acoustic Objections to such a measure could not be found insurmountable. . Others again suggest that a portion of the area, at all events, might be, with great advantage converted into a gymnasium; while another portion of the public demands loudly, that the whole should be converted into a gigantic winter hippodrome. The attractions of this species of amusement are greater than almost any other in Paris at present. But the entertainment being all al fresco, they are frequently interrupted by bad weather, greatly to the disappointment of the eager multi tudes who collect to witness the performances. If the Palace of Industry belonged still to a private company, doubtless one or other of these objects would, ere this, have been realised ; but it is to be hoped that the Government, which, is at present engaged in giving the subject its con sideration, will contrive, for once, to combine some degree of utility with the purely amusing objects which the thoughtless Parisians . seem alone to care for. The Palace, situated as it is in one of the wealthiest quarters of the metro polis, and one to which foreigners are ceaselessly attracted by the magnificent panorama formed' by the Place de la Concorde, the Champs Elysees, and the Arc de Triomphe, would at all times secure both a crowded and fashionable gathering, for almost any purpose which the Government did not forbid, which presented any ordinary amount of entertainment and attraction. Business at the Bourse has again become very dull. LATEST NEWS. ANNEXATION OF SICILY. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The official journal at Naples has just published the decree by which the Dictator has proclaimed the two Sicilies an integral part of the states of Victor Emmanuel. The publication of this decree in Sicily is accompanied with the follow ing proclamation : " ITALIANS OF SICILY ! "The venerated and solemn word of your great Dictator has been kept. By his decree of the 15th October, he said to you that the moment had come for the desired annexation. In four days your plebiscite will set the seal to the great cause which will re-unite in one single and indivisible family, 22,000,000 of Italians; and, meanwhile, having been called upon to fulfil this last vow of the Dictator, as soon as a representative of Victor Emmanuel arrives among you, I will lay down the power which has been entrusted to me. "ITALIANS OF SICILY ! " History will one day relate to astonished de scendants how in six months only, a man, greater than his renowned prototype, has restored life to a free people—the moiety of a nation. To this man—to Garibaldi—ltaly will raise an imperish able monument in the heart of future generations ; and the inhabitants of the Peninsula will bow at the mere mention of his name, as do the children nf free America at the great name of Washington. " You will be the first to give an example of this. Long live Italy ! Long .live Victor Emmanuel! Long live Garibaldi ! . . " MORDINI, Pro-Dictator. " Palermo, 17th October, 1860." (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) NAPLES. NAPLES, Oct. 28. The official return of the voting'on the question of annexation in the city and provinces of Naples is as follows :—Total number of votes registered, 229,780; ayes, 185,468; noes, 1,609.' In the other provinces the votes are equally favourable to annexation. FRANCE. • PARIS, Oct. 29. The Moniteur publishes the following decree Concerning those articles of merchandise of British growth or manufacture specified in the , treaty of Commerce which are imported into France other- Wise than in French or British vessels :—First, a surtax of 25 cents. per 100 kilogrammes will be levied upon articles of merchandise which are either free froni all entry dues or liable to a maxi- Ilium duty of 3 francs per 100 kilogrammes ; secondly, the surtax decreed by the law of 18th April, 1816, will be applied when the duty exceeds 3 francs per 100 kilogrammes. THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, Oct. 28, 3 30 p.m. Little business has been done on the Bourse, which' continues dull. Rentes closed 68 85, or a fraction higher than on Saturday. SPAIN. MADRID, Oct. 28. Marshal O'Donnell has declared, in to-day's Bitting of the Senate, that the Government of Morocco had only asked for a longer delay for the payment of the war indemnity. The mar shal also declared that Rita Rosas is about to proceed to Rome on a mission, but that Spain is resolved to observe strict neutrality, as regards the affairs of Italy. THE INTERVIEW AT WARSAW. The Times' corr espondent quotes a letter which says that it is impossible to send any news of the Conference for the very good reason that there has been no conference at all in the meaning usually attached to the word. Doubtless inter views have taken place between the different statesmen and ministers who accompany their sovereigns, but not diplomatic conferences. The alarm entertained of a new Holy Alliance is totally unfounded. There is no coalition against France. Russia and Prussia have met With a view of conciliating the, interest and necessities of France with those of other States. At Warsaw a great feeling of hatred exists against Austria, and the same feeling exists in Germany. The Emperor Alexander is reported to have said to his aides-de-camp that he did not invite th e Emperor of Austria, but had agreed to an interview, which .the Emperor of Austria had solicited. BRAZIL MAIL. LISBON, Oct. 29. The Oneida, from Brazil, has arrived here. She leaves for Southampton at 2 p.m., with 60 passengers and £26,603 in specie. THE DOUBLE INCOME-TAX. The Oriental Bank Corporation has commenced friendly suit in the Court of Exchequer to test the legality of the double income-tax. THE NOMINATION AT BOSTON. At the nomination at Boston the sh o w o f 'lands was in fivour of Mr. Tuxford, the Liberal Candidate. A poll was demanded by the Con aervatives. The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : -- DECISIVE BATTLE AT COSTA RICA. By a telegram from Costa Rica we find that the ... attempt by General Mora has signally failed. avlora was attacked and routed by 1,500 Govern ient troops on the 28th. Mora gave himself up ( 3 / 1 the 30th, and was immediately shot. On the Z o th, Canus, whose life was guaranteed, was shot ..,3 7 order of the President. On the morning of the 3rd inst. between 200 and 300 Government troops were killed. From Mr. Weiner, passenger from Costa Rica, We have further particulars : The Costa Rica revolution was finally brought 4_ a close on the eve of the 28th, at eight p.m. T he Government forces attacked the barricades, M a nd after a severe fight of two hours, outflanked ra's position, and finally took it. There were OPENING OF HENGLER'S CIRCUS, DALE-STREET. • The grand cirque was opened for the season on Satur day night ; and such a house we never set eyes on before —and that is not saying a little for its appearance. Many hundreds went away sorely disappointed, as they could not get admittance. Although the crowd inside was so enormous, the utmost regularity and decorum prevailed,—indeed, it was one of the most, respectable audiences we have ever observed at:A public perform ance, and first rate people were content, as well they might, to get even a standing spot in the gallery. Having said thus about the attendance, we may take a glance at the •engaged _on the Government side 1,500 men, and on Mora's side 250. Mora lost 15 men, and the Government 250 men. On the day succeeding the action, Mora and one of his colonels were shot, and on the following day General Canas was shot. These men all gave themselves up voluntarily. General Mora (brother of the President) and Mr. Canas (the brother of General Canas) have had their lives spared, and are now on board the American barqfte Reinder, awaiting steamer for San Salvador. The St. Guatemala arrived on the sth instant. The above incident took place in Punta Arguas. THE IRISH BRIGADE. Five hundredoFilieiate Irish Brigade passed through Paris on Thursday night, on their way to Havre. _ -- TTe . ioris correspondent of tho Herald describes them as in appearance the very ideal of a soldier. •A large crowd attended them up to the railway station, but •no cry or manifestation of opinion whatever was indulged in. The Paris correspondent of the Advertiser says the Pontifical prisoners bivouacked in a large garden near one of the barriers of Paris. The men were in want of every thing, and with scarcely clothes to cover them. The inhabitants sent shirts, stockings, shoes, and other articles in dlindance, and the men left Paris fall of gratitude for the kind treatment they had met with: The Irishmen, about 480 in number; Were sent oh to Havre. MONETARY PROSPECTS. The Tiles says that it is reported that a new contract has been made for the transmission of a further large sum of gold to the discount society of 'Paris. Notwith standing the heavy amounts already sent to the continent, rates of exchange have not been much influenced, showing that those rates, under ordinary circumstances would, in consequence of our large grain purchases, already have become very adverse, and that the gold transmitted has, therefore, done little more thau supply the demand that would otherwise have arisen in regular course. It is found during the flat few weeks that France and Spain can continue to draw away con siderable sums without greatly influencing the quota tions of exchange, and an advance on the Bank rate of discount will necessarily be resolved upon. COMMERCIAL FAILURES IN BRAZIL. The recent failures in Brazil have not been confined to Rio Janeiro, but have extended up. the coast to Bahia and Pernambuco, where they have been more numerous, although not so large in amount. At Bahia, especially, the havoc in the dry goods trade has been general, and the total suspensions at that port and Pernambuco are variously estimated in this year to have amounted to from £250,000 to £5,000,000. The various operations against Gaeta ate to be com menced this week. Mr. Ribton has retired from the contest at Reading, leaving Pigott and Walter the only candidates. The principal debtor to the estate of Davies and Co., the suspended bankers of Shoreditch, is the firm of Evans Brothers, building contractors. ,Their total debt to the bank is said to be £50,000. The Swiftsure, from Melbourne, with £282,500 in gold, was spoken with on the 2nd instant, in lat. 80, long. 3211 r., and may soon be expected off the coast, being a fast vessel. The Count de Montelambert's letter to Count Cavour is puulished in the Times. The differences on the political and religious views of the two are stated at great length. CIRCUS itself, which has undergone a thorough repair, and many improvements during the recess. It has been beauti fully decorated, and brilliantly illuminated. Some fine statues have been added, and a profusion of banners, illustrative of , the three kingdoms, and of celebrated equestrian establishments, are hung round the circus. For the comfort and accommodation of visitors, every thing has been done, and one feels just as snug in any part of the house, as if at home by his own fireside. The public appreciate Mr. Ilengler's exertions, and be accordingly provides the most agreeable entertainments. In keeping with this THE PERFORMANCE of Saturday evening, was more than to meet expectation, no matter what anticipations had been entertained about the opening night of the season. One feature that we could wish to see adopted at all places of amusement, Mr. Hengler has hit upon, and that is punctuality., The audience is not kept to while away time—there is not a minute lost from beginning to end--everything follows in rapid succession, and this makes everything agreeable. The synopsis of the performance for Saturday evening was ample and admirably selected ; and whilst the proprietor continues to present such a company to the public, and whilst that noblest of animals, the horse, continues to be admired, so long will equestrian representations attract public patronage. We have seen a good many well trained studs of horses, but we have not found any to equal the horses belonging to this circus. That the horse is capable of receiving, as it were, an 'education, is proved by the high state of perfection to which the animals have been brought in this establishment; the intelligence and sagacity which they exhibit is really wonderful. Truly it was observed by a gentleman on Saturday evening, when he saw - the performance of the comic poney " Beeswing " and that of the beautiful barb " Diamond, " managed by Mr. G. Hengler, " these animals can do everythin except talk !" The military and string band attar'hed to the cir cus are perfect and their execution of the well selected music incidental to the performance admi rable. , The performance opened by the introduc tion—of course the first time—of Mr. John . Henry Cook, and Mr. Alfred Clarke, as the Trojan Youths, and to use a phrase not inapplicable here, they are " regular Trojans" and no mistake ! Their performance on two beautiful swift horses would be difficult to describe; the wonderful, yet graceful manner in which they repre sented the young nobles of Troy—provided such a place ever had a site on the terrestial planet—must be seen to convey an idea of what they go through. Mad'lle Florette, is not only a pretty girl, but she is also a hand some equestrienne, and this was proved by the showers of applause that greeted her throughout. Mr. Charles Ethair appeared in three characters, " England, Ireland, and Scotland," and we think it no small compliment to quote what a witty Hibernian whispered in our ear, when he saw him representing the Emerald Isle on horseback'—"'pen my soul (said our friend) that's Tyrone Power, got out 'of the sea and turned horse rider !" It is needless to say that he was equally good in his personations of the other two countries. The next spectacle that claimed attention, was not only novel, but something considerably astonishing ! A set of the "Lancers Quadrilles on horseback !" Four ladies and four gentlemen dressed in full lancer uniform, on eight magnificently caparisoned steeds, dancing the quadrille in first rate style.- It was said this was the first time such a novelty was introduced into England on horseback, and we believe it. We happen (we know our lady readers will forgive us for this) to be connoisseurs about dancing, and we gazed on this part of the performance with surprise and delight—there was not a single mistake throughout the set, and it amazed us not a little to find horses so highly " finished :" it is the grandest and most agree a bl e thing we have looked on in its way, and must become excessively popular. The finish by the octave of performers, dashing at full charge speed over the barriers of the circus, brought down, as it should, a tornado of applause. Of a different and astounding . description is the performance of th e " Brothers Bern." Flying in the air by human bipeds is no longer a theory, as these brothers prove that it can be done, for they absolutely do it ! We have read of nothing, and never saw anything, to equal their feats —for daring, skill, agility, and coolness they stand unrivalled. We would fain give some description of what they do, but we should fail to convey any better notion of their performances than a water-spout would of the falls of Niagara. No, they must be seen ; and once seen, the memory of their acts will never be effaced from the mind. We may state that with the small artificial contrivance of two ordinary trapes they fly across the circus, and perform gymnastics of the most incomprehen sible character with a degree of sang frond and confidence hardly equalled by an ordinary pedestrian in the streets ! The almost wild enthusiasm showered on them by the thousands who witnessed their daring deeds, told plainly how much they were appreciated. The next wonder is the performance of " Ajax," a trained elephant of no mean " dimensions." The natural sagacity of this member of the zoological family is well known; but friend "Ajax" appears to be the Solomon of the tribe. He does everything, and does that everything well to boot—even to the bells on his legs, which he tinkles as well as any " Lancashire bell ringer." Some new faces have been added to the stock company, and amongst these we notice Mr. John H. Cook, and Mr. Davis Richards, (the' great American rider,) and others, all of whom were greeted with deserved applause. We cannot forget our worthy friends, Funny Franks, Bibb, Oriel, and other clowns, who keep , the circus in a roar at intervals during the evening—Bibb, with his intoxicated stilts, is the most laughter provoking thing imaginable. We were glad to see some well-known favourites, such as Mr. Charles Hengler himself, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Henry, &c., and amongst those who perform (though not in the circus) important services, Mr. Russell, the gentle manly out-d oor agen t, • all well and in their usual spheres. Before the performance concluded, Mr. Hen gler briefly addressed the immense assembly, and thanked the people of Liverpool, for the mark of favour bestowed on him. He assured them that every novelty that could be procured would by brought forward during the season. He was greeted with hearty applause. The band soon after gave the National Anthem, and so ended the opening night of the season, w hich may be counted one of th e most b r i lliant in the annals of equestrian exhibitions. DETAINING A VOLUNTEER'S UNIFORM. — The case heard. on Saturday at the County Magistrates' Court, was disposed of yesterday. Benson gave up the uniform and the fine was cancelled. LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. —The second ordinary meeting•of this society was held at the Royal Institution last evening. Tea and coffee were placed on the table at seven o'clock. The chair was taken at half-past seven by the president, the Rev. H. H. Higgins, M.A., Cantab. The following gentlemen were elected members :—Rev. William Banister, 8.A.: David Walker, late surgeon and naturalist to the exploringthe vesselof in lat. ; and Mr. F. Kirby. Dr. ibi lso ted a specime n of anorthite, a mineral W F 7 6 oi l , k n A eor r r c te t hx i c h;a rare to the British isles. The president read a paper upon Darwin's Theory of the Origin of Species. The paper consisted of criticisms on the reviews on Darwin's theory. A discussion followed. THE CORPORATION ACCOUNTS.

It appears that contests are threatened in three wards, and that iii two of them they sprang up almost at the eleventh hour. EVERTON WARD, In this ward Mr. Daniel Crosthwaite is the retiring member, and against his re-electien three candidates have been nominated ; but whether all will appear on. the day of the kilt is extremely doubtful. The candidates are—Mr. Daniel Crosthwaite, the present member; Mr. T. G. Mellor, nominated by J. W. Hughes ; William Williams, nominated by John Worsnop ; Mr. Thomas Leicester, nominated by Mr. J. G. Howson: . VAUXHALL WARD. In this ward a candidate has been found to oppose the re-election of Mr. J. C. Corbally, in the person of Mr. William Johnson, who was nominated by Mr. Charles Beaty, of Vauxhall-road. • LIME-STREET WARD. In this ward it is now positively certain that there will be a bond fele contest, Mr. P. G. }leyworth hayin9; been nominated as a candidate by Mr. S. B. Jackson, in opposition to Mr. James Johnson, the retiring court, cillor. The friends of the last gentleman are on the alert, and. the struggle will no doubt be a severe one. Mr. Johnson's friends appear confident of success, trust ing rather to the past services which that gentleman has rendered to the ward and the town in general than to political agitations. Thursday next will decide the affair. WARDS UNOPPOSED. In the following wards no second candidate has been put in nomination ; therefore, each gentleman will be re-elected I W.

Last evening a public meeting of the fiiends of the above-named gentleman was held at Mr. D. Hill's, Washington Inn, Waterloo -road, for the purpose of securing his retina to the Council on the Ist of No vember next. •It was generally expected that Mr. Cor bally, the present representativ e of the ward, would not have been opposed; but, much to the astonishment of a great iitiniber of persons, when the nominations were commenced, it appeared that Mr, William Johnson, an eminent engineer, had been duly proposed. lii order, therefore, to secure Mr. Johnson's return, a meeting of his supporters *as held as above; and they were not only numerous but most enthusiastic in the selection they bad made. Mr. CHARtES BEtat was unaniinously called upon to preside. He expressed the great pleasure he felt at being present at the meeting, but doubted his ability to pe: form the duties of the office, and therefore he hoped that his remarks would be looked upon with leniency. They were all aware of the object of the meeting, which was to take steps to secure the retard of a fit and proper person to represent the ward in the Town Council on Tuesday next. He was sorry to say that they had not been represented in the Town Council as they should have been. There was no doubt but they had had a very respectable man to represent them, but what they wanted was a man who knew the wants of the ward, and who was come-at-able at all times. (Cheers). For his own part, he did not think that he had seen the present reti - ins representa tive since the day he was elected up to the present time. What they wanted was a person who was known to the ward, and all that was connected with it. And he thought, and firmly believed, that they would find such a person in Mr. Win Johnson. • (Cheers.) He concluded by saying that he did not think that they could possibly have made a better selection than they had done, and he really hoped that all parties interested in the welfare of the ward and of the town in general, would use their utmost exertions to secure the retum of Mr. Win. Johnson. (Cheers.) .Mr. J. HoLMES, in moving a resolution that Mr. W. Johnson was a t and proper person to represent the ward, said he had known Mr. Johnson for the last thirty years, both in his public and his private life, and he did not believe that a more fit and proper person could he found to represent the ward. He was a gen tleman who was intimately acquainted with the wants of the ward, and he that he (Mr. JohnsOn) would do his utmost to secure justice to the ward. Hb concluded by proposing that he was a fit and proper person to represent the ward in the next Council. (Loud cheers.) Mr. JOHN JONES, had much pleasure in seconding the proposition, because he did not believe that a better man could be found to fill the duties of town councillor; because he lived in the ward, was a man of business, and could always be found when he was wanted. He then went on to show that-the requii'ements of the ward had been much and most disgracefully neglected, in a sanitary point of view—so much so, that the Vauxhall Ward was a bye-word for unhealthiness. He next referred to the state of the streets, and said that although that Ward was the principal manufaeturin ward in the town, it was so circumscribed that it had no outlets, except by Leeds-street, which was impassable. He contended that the money which had been obtained by the Corporation, by the sale of the old borough' gaol, situated as it was in the ward, should have been expended in the improve ments of the ward, and designated the non-appropriation of the money in such a way as "a piece of plunder." He concluded- by saying that he,was quite sure that if Mr. Johnson was returned he would find, if there was not talent sufficient amongst the officials of the Corpora tion—which he did not say there was not—some plan, either by a tunnel or a high level railway, of getting out of the ward i n some respectable way, instead of by the dangerous and disgraceful - outlets they had at the present time. r Mr. - WinLiAst JOHNSON then came forward, and was received with the greatest applause by those assembled. He assured them that he appeared under great diffidence, because he had never before been so flattered in the course of his life; but he begged to state that, if elected, he would to the best of his ability do his duty to the ward and to the town generally. He said that in a sanitary view, the ward had been much neglected ; so much so, that it had become conspicuous throughout the country for the odium attached to it for its unhealthiness. For his own part, he had not a word to say against Mr. Corbally—he was a gentleman—but it was thought by a large number of the ratepayers that he had not repre sented them, and therefore he had been waited upon ; all he would say was that if elected he would do his utmost to represent the interest of the ward and the town in general. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the business of the meeting. NORTH AND SOUTH TORTE TH WARDS. A large and influential. meeting of the electors of North and South Toxteth Wards was held at the Royal Oak Inn last evening, to congratulate Thomas Vernon and Joseph Steel, Esqrs., on their re-election for th e North and South Toxteth Wards. In the absence o f the chairman, G. H. Horsfall, Esq., Joseph Harrison, Esq., presided. On taking the chai r, Mr. H arrison said he was most happy to inform the electors that there was no opposition to Mr. Vernon for the North, and Mr. Steel for the South Toxteth Wards—which w as a most substantial proof that the electors of the ward were satisfied with the manner in which those gentle men discharged the trust reposed in them; and he beg ged to congratulate those gentlemen on their return to the Council chamber. Both gentlemen, being present, returned thanks. Mr. Siddeley also addressed the assembled electors. . £383,568 8 5 PAYMENTS OUT OF SURPLUS INCOME.

In Re GEORGE CRAY EN.—This bankrupt, who was a merchant and coniniission a gent, carrying on busin ess in Liverp o ol un d er t h e style of George Craven and Co., appeared yesterday on his last examination. Mr. Robin son, solicitor, on behalf of Mr. Bull, a creditor, who had proved a debt that was contracted by the bankrupt jointly with his late nattner, applied to examine hitn in opposition to his passing. Mr. Duke, who represented the assignee s , objected to any examination, and pointed out the 140th section of the bankrupt law, which strictly confines any opposition by a joint creditor to the certi ficate. His honour said Mr.' Robinson could only be heard at that time. No other opposition being offered, the bankrupt was allowed to p as s, and the 23rd of November was the day appointed for him to come up for his certificate. In .Re DANIEL JoNms.--This bankrupt, a coach builder at Wrexham, applied yesterday to pass his last examination. Mr. Evans, who appeared for the assignees, said there was a slight error in the balance sheet which would require setting right, but further he had no objeCtion to the bankrupt's passing. His Honour having hea r d the official assignee's report on the accounts, allowed him to pass. The certificate sit ting was appointed for the 23rd November.

Prescribed for and received surgical assistance : Eyes, 409 ; Ears, 115. , a LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-SATURDAY (Before Mr. RAFFLBS.) THE CHARGE OF ASSAULT ON BOARD AN AMERICAN SHIP. Rolin Bait ; the second mate of American ship George Itulbert, Was brotight lili oft retnands charged with haring assaulted J, Alwar. Mr. ti hick apreEttred for him: The facts of thi s case were published in the Tithes of Saturday. Mr, kehoe said he Wished for a I reidatid, as he tinderstockl he could *axe eVideria to show who had assaulted the ritan on shipboard. The injured man was rather better in his intellect to-day, and a few day's quiet would perhaps restore hiM so as to be able to get his evidence; Mr. Black objected, btit after a short conversation the prisoner was remanded to Tuesday, bail being reftised for his appearance. CIIARGE OF EMBEZZLENIENT. A respectable-looking man, about 45 years of age, named . Thomas Drew, was charged by Mr. Christie, wine merchant, of fluke-street, with having embeiiled £l2O. Mr. Cobb appeared fertile prisoner, and when the case was called on asked his ,Worship to allow it to stand over for some time, as there was a probability of an arrangement being made betweeli the parties. The prosecutor wouletell the court that there was some doubt about the case, although lie was justified in the course he had taken. The alleged offence took place two years ago, and, when investigated, it would perhaps turn out a matter of account between the parties. The prisoner was then put down, and soon afterwards a friend of his got permission to see him, when Police officer 43 saw the prisoner take something from the lining of his bat and hand it to his friend. The officer insisted oft seeing Alaat it vas, and discovered it to be a bank note :for 11.00. This he COninannicated .to Mr. Kehoe. The prisoner was agaiti.lironght hip, i brit the' prosecutor, on receiving the £lOO note, withdrew. the charge, Mr. Cobb stating that an arrangement had Veen entered into between the parties. The prisoner was then discharged. (Before Messrs. R. GLADSTONE and C. J. CORBALLY.) ASSAULT BY A PUBLICAN. Thomas Bland, publican, of Faulkner-street, was summoned by Thomas Wearing for having assaulted him. Mr. Cobb was for the defendant. From the evi dence of the complainant, which was sustained by three or four other persons, it appeared that defendant was on a step-ladder, -washing his windows, when the com iiiginaiit Add sortie friends, including a female, were leaving his house; and the allegation was that the de fendant threw water on the woman, and on Complainant remonstrating with him, the defendant struck him a blow on the forehead with a tin can that he had in his hand, inflicting a smart wound. The defence set up was, glat the complainant pushed purposely against the ladder, and when Mr. Bland spoke to him about it, he was about to strike him, and that the can was used in his pwn de fence: The magistrates, however, credited the case as made eta agaifist the defendant, and fined him £1 and costs. YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) FEARFUL CASE OF STABBING. A very ill-looking fellow, named John Bynes, a sailor, was brought up by Police-officer 38 on a charge of having dangerously wounded John Walsh, a green grocer in Great Howard-street. The officer said—On Saturday night, after eleven o'clock, I saw the prisoner in one of the bye streets off Great Howard-street, going along by some warehouse doors in a suspicious manner, and asked him what he was doino. there ; when he re "lf you don't stand off, I put a knife into you:" Immediately I heard a cry raise Ito stop hith, and after a chase I caught lrim, Mrs. Walsh, the Wife of the Wounded man, said— , On Saturday night the prisoner canle in and demanded something to eat, when my husband said there was nothing to eat there, as we only keep a greengrocer's shop. The prisoner would not go away, and insisted on having a herring roasted, and in order to get rid of him my husband roasted a herring for him, and then he went to the cupboard and got what bread there was there, and eat it with the her ring. He then demanded more, when my husband refused to give him any, and requested him to go away, as he was going to close up the place. The prisoner then w en t on the steps of the cellar and smashed a sweeping brush that lay on the steps. My husband was a step or two under him, and asked why he did that ? He drew a knife, and made a blow at my husband, and cut him along the face, and cut a part of his ear off.' Mr. Raffles : Do you know the man at all? —No, sir ; we never saw him before, and my husband gave him the herring and bread to get rid of him. Was he drunk?—Not very; he had had some drink. , In reply to his Worship, the officer said the surgeon at the Northern Hospital (where the wounded man lies) told him the wound was eight inches long, deep, and part of the left ear was cut off. Mr. Raffles : Did the prisoner say anything when you arrested him ? He said he would cut up any one who attacked him the way they did.—Mr. Raffles : What did he mean by " they ?" I don't know; but he afterwards said he was attacked by some men, and that he was robbed by them, and only defended himself. —Mr. Raffles (to Mrs. Walsh) : Did 'your husband attack the prisoner? Not at all, sir ; nothing more than what I told you happened. Police-officer 721 said : I took this knife from his belt, and it had blood on the handle. The first ()Neer said the prisoner had blood on his hands; but as there was a slight cut on his forehead, he could not say if the blood did not come from that. When he took the prisoner to the Hospital, where the wounded man lies, the latter recognised him, and said, "That's the man who stabbed me." The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said be was attacked by four or five men, who knocked him down and robbed him, and he d rew the knife and made a "skelp" at one of them, and he supPosect that was how it happened. He was remanded for a week. BAD SONS. Michael Smith, 20 — TearsOCage, the son of Mrs. Agnes Smith, brassfounde . r, Gregson-street, was charged by his mother with having assaulted her. Mr. Bluck appeared ftr the prosecution, and frnm hi; ot.*Oment, and the evidence of Mrs. Smith, it appeared that the prisoner is the eldest son of complaina7it, and that for stone time past he conducted himself very badly, and was frequently drunk; and whilst in that state he was in the habit of ill-using and beating his mother and sister. On Saturday night he went into his mother's house in a state of drunkenness and demanded money, but she refused to give him any • and then he locked the door and commenced beating his mother and sister, but at lost assistance came and he was given into custody. Mr. Black said it was a fearful crime to beat a parent after this manner; yet his mother did not wish to press the case, but the prisoner ought to be bound over to keep the peace towards her. The prisoner was accordingly bound over to keep the peace. A respectable looking man, named Henry Martin, charged Isaac Martin, his son, with, having threatene d his life, and with having assaulted him. On Saturday night the prisoner went into his father's house in a state of intoxication, when he assaulted his father, and threa tened to take his life if he did not giv e him money. The father was obliged to give him into custody, in order to protect himself from his violence. The prisoner was remanded for a week with the view of seeing what was best to be dune with him. "A MOBSMAN" PICKED UP. John King, a rather fashionable-looking person, about thi r ty years of age, wa s b roug ht u p by officer 164 on a ch arg e of having picked the p oc k e t of Mr. Thomas Elliott, clerk. at Messrs. Bright, Legge, and Co.'s, Bold street; and there was.a second charge made against him by M r . Smart, brewer, for having picked his pocket in the Bank of England, on the 9th June last, of a book and upwards of £3O. Mr. Bluck defended the prisoner. Prom the evidence of Mr. Elliott it appeared that on Saturday he was iu the Liverpool Bank lodging money, and saw the prisoner quite close to him, and in a moment or so he missed his pocket-book from 1 1 13 back pocket, and haying felt a hand in it, he turned round and saw the prisoner walk away. lie followed him, and the prisoner turned into Back Castle-street, and flung something from his hand, when witness collared him anal gave him into custody. In the area, where he saw him threw something. the officer got Mr. Elliott's pocket book and its contents (£3 13s 6d). and some documents, with a bill of exchange. Mr. Smart proved that on the 9th June last he was in the Bank of England, and saw the prisoner quite close to him, and in a moment he missed his book from his back pocket ; it contained over £3O in money. The prisoner disappeared instantly, but he gave a description of him, and he now swore posi tively to his identity. Mr. Bluck cross-examined the witnesses, with the view of shaking their evidence as to the identity of the prisoner ; but they stated that they were positive as to the man. Detective-officer Carlisle was examined, and at the conclusion of his evidence Mr. Raffles sent the prisoner for trial on both charges. (The prisoner, it was said, is a celebrated "travelling thief.") A GUARDSMAN. OFF GUARD! Police-officer Russell (158) brought up Thomas Moreby, who was dressed in the uniform of the Cold stream Guards, on a charge of being drunk and dis orderly and for assaulting him ; and Leonard Moreby, a porter at the railway station. Lime-street, brother of the " guardsman," was charged with attempting to rescue the other prisoner. Mr. Cobb appeared for both. The .officer stated that he was called into a public-house to put out the guardsman, who was drunk and dis orderly there. The prisoner was very violent, and kicked him in the legs, bit him in the hand, and other wise ill-used him. The prisoner behaved so outrageously ; that four officers had to assist in taking him to the station. The prisoner Leonard endeavoured to rescue the soldier from the police, and for that he was taken into custody. Mr. Cobb cross-examined the officer and other witnesses, and contended that the police were in fault, and that the railway porter was only trying to get the soldier to go quietly. Mr. Raffles said that Russell was an experienced and most prudent officer, and knew his duty well, so that he would not do any thing wrong or incautious. However, he would dis charge the porter, but would fine the guardsman £2 for the assault. The fine was paid. ASSAULTING THE POLICE. Thomas Cahill, John Walsh, and Margaret Connor were charged with having violently assaulted Police officer Hill (85). There was a fight on Sunday night in Wright-street, Scotland-road, when Hill went to quell it. On going forward he was struck with a brick, which cut through his hat and head, and injured him severely. He could not tell who struck him, but police officers 657 and 506 came up and got the two men beating the officer. and the woman had his staff and she was beating him with it also. A conflict of a fierce description followed, in which the officers were roughly handled, but at lengih assistance arrived and the three prisoners were captured. Surgeon Sheppard, of the Northern Dispensary, stated that he dressed Hill's head, and found one cut an inch and a half long and down to the bohe ; there were several contusions on hi% head also. Mr. Bluck appeared for Walsh and Mr. Parker for Cahill, and called witnesses to exonerate weir clients, but did not succeed ; and the prisoners were remanded. for a week until the result of the injury on Hill's head can be ascertained. CHARGE OF R.BERY ON SHIP BOARD. A respectable working man, named William Preston, described as a purser on ship board, in the employment of Messrs. Chambers and Wilson, was brought up on a charge of having stolen £l7 from Robert Elliott. Mr. Campbell appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bluck for the prisoner. Mr. Campbell proceeded to open the case, and said the parties came from Melbourne in the Red Jacket, which arrived here on Friday. The pri soner, it appeared, had gone out as purser in the Young American, and got his passage home in the Red Jacket, and, when he came on board, said he had no money. The parties slept in the same room; and on the 28th of August the prosecutor missed fifteen soverigns out of his trunk, but did not know who had taken it. H e watched the place every night until the 2nd of Sep tember, and about two o'clock in t he morn ing the pro secutor saw the prisoner take a file, and filed the lock of his-trunk and open it, and next morninglia.missed two more sovereigns. The captain was told of the affaif next morning, and the prisoner was removed from the cabin. When he was taken into custody on shore, a sum of £lB4 14s. was found on him. These facts were proved by Mr. Elliott, and Mr, Cooper, a passenger ; but in reply to Mr. Bluck, they admitted that they did not see the prisoner take any money. Mr. Mich . con tended that his client was quite innocent, and Was a man of high character, and he defied the prosecutor to prove the charge. The prisoner was allowed out on his own recognisance to this day, in order to have Captain Reed; of the Red Jacket, proeent, to state what he knew . about the !natter. COURT 01 4 VASSAGE.-SATURDAY. (Before Mr. E. J'Aztre4 . . A WELSH MISTRESS AND HER WELSH Cdok.—ln this action, an ,elderly and repectable-looking female, named Mary Jenci,, a professional cook from the Prin cipality, was the plaintiff, and, Mrs. Taylor, , the wife of a merchant of this town, residing nt Brougharn-terrace, West Derby-road, also from Wales, was the defendant. The action was brought to recover compensation for having been falsely imprisoned on a charge of felony. Mr. .spina/1 appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Littler for the defendant: Front the statement of the plaintiff it appeared that she was a ttiost, abl!zt and experienced cook, and that she had lived as such fn Most of the principal families in Wales, including amongst the others the Dean of Llandaff, and also several families of dis tinction in Dublin. However, she was in Liverpool in the month of July last, and from a recommendation she received she waited upon Mrs. Taylor, the defendant, and on " the Orangemen's day," the 12th of July, she was engaged to go there and superintend the cooking of a dinner for a party of Mends who were met at the lidsflitable hoard to celebrate that day. All the duties haiing beeti disPepeci of (as the plaintiff thotight, to the satisfaction of all she Was going home, when Mrs. Taylor expressed a wish that, the Cook should call upon her on the following day. She did Ab . `, and it was then agreed that th e coo k was t o t a k e cnatfife Of the house while Mrs. Taylor went on a visit to Wales. The cook undertook all those responsibilities, and Mrs. Taylor left her home, and was absent therefrom about three weeks. Upon her arrival home, Mrs. Taylor seemed quite satisfied with what had been done in her absence, but being fatigued she went to bed, and remained there for some time. When she did get up (the plaintiff believed it was on the Tuesday), complaint Was made that " the carpets had not been laid down." The COok i s ansWer to that was, " that Mr. Taylor had said that they VVete riot to he put down." After that some angry words erisiledi. and the cook went to bed without being allowed a Caddie, and on the following morning she was sent about hkt: business but without her wages. After that she called for her wages but could not get them, and then she went to Mr. Taylor's offices, in Liverpool, and endea voured to get them there, but was insulted by Mr. Taylor eittd told to go to the house for the money, and he would pay her, But dndltig that she could not get her wages, the cook took out a sdninions in the County Court to recover the same, and on the /4th of September the case was heard, but owing to seine legal tohneealities the plaintiff was non-suited. While at the eottrity Court the cook and her late mistress met, —they exchanged words before the case came on, both being much, excited, . but in answer to Mr. Temple, the cook most positively denied that she had ever touched Mrs. Taylor's dress, or that she had ever spat upon her, or that she had ever called her bad names. Thus the case stood, until one of the Liverpool police constables was called, but whose number, from the man ner in which, by the sanction of the Watch Committee, the figures Upon the collar of their constables' coats are blended together, and the whiskers that overhang them, was not discernable, stated that on the ?'4th of Septem ber being on duty, he was called Upon to go to the County Cou r t by M rs . T a yl or t o t a k e person into custody on a charge of felony. He went to the court, and the plaintiff was given into custody on a charge of stealing some bed linen and other articles. Upon that he took her to the Police Station, Mrs. Taylor going in a cab ; but when the inspector on duty heard the facts he declined to take her up and she was discharged. Mr. Littler for the defence, admitted that his client was wrong, as there was not the slightest charge against the plaintiff, but in extenuation of the circumstances, said that the jury would recollect that both the parties were Welsh women, and as a national characteristic they were well known for their "peppery" temperament. He therefore admitted that Mrs. Taylor was wrong in giving the cook into custody, and would willingly apolo gise for that act, and leave it in the hands of the assessor to decide the case without going to the jury. Mr. • Aspinall agreed to the adoption of such 'a course if the learned assessor would so act. The assessor : Then I should say that the plaintiff should give the defendant £5. It was most monstrous because a person's temper was "peppery," that they should give another person into custody on a charge of felony, when there was no ground for such an accusation. As there had been an apology made, and as there was not the slightest charge against the plaintiff, and as she had not been put to any suffering beyond the disgrace of having such a charge made against her, he thought, but he did not know whether the jury would agree with him, that £5 would be sufficient. The jury expressed their opinion that if the case had been left to them the damages would have been much larger. Mr. Littler, upon that, expressed his thanks to the assessor, and was glad that it had been so settled. _ _ A HORSE CASE.—In this action an Irish horse dealer, named Keegan, was the plaintiff, and a M r . W oo ds, a spirit merchant, of Dale-street, was the defendant. The action was brought to recover the value of a grey gelding hunting horse, The action was not defended. The plaintiff stated that he had two horses for sale, and that the defendant, afier trying the grey gelding across the country, purchased it for £3O. That he gave him £lO on account, and then rode away with the horse. In answer to the assessor, he said, he had not since seen the horse, nor had he received the money for it. A verdict was given for the plaintiff for £29 10s. BEIVA.RE OF Doos.—ln this case, the plaintiff, a labourer, named Pilkington, working at the Albert Docks, was the plaintiff, and two men, named M'Ginn, carters, were the defendants. The action was brought to recover compensation for the injuries the plaintiff had sustained through a bite from the ,defendants'dog. The plaintiff, stated that as he was going to his work on the 11th of August last, at the Albert , Dock, the defendants' dog rushed upon him and wounded'his leg, from the effects of which he was unable to, do any work from that day to.the 3rd or 4th of September. In consequence of the plaintiff having failed to prove that the defendants knew that the dog was a dangerous dog, Und as it had since been .destroyed, he was nonsuited. WOMEN'S TONGUES. This was an action brought by Miss •Frances Parry, a barmaid living with Mr. M'Coven, a publican at Bootle, to recover compensation for some slanderous expressions used by the defendant, Mrs. Smith, a female also in the liquor trade. The expression alldged to have been used was, " I see you have got Miss Parry with you; she is a cheat and a dishonest person." His honour wished to know whether the learned counsel (Mr. Littler) considered it action able. Several cases were cited by the learned gentle men engaged in the case, to show that.the expression used was actionable ; but his honour expressed a desire to have the witness called to prove the exact words, when Mrs. M'Coven entered the witness box and stated : My husband keeps a public-house in Bootle. The plaintiff, Miss Parry, is in my service. In July or August twelvemonths since, the defendant, 'Mrs. Smith, called at my house, and said to me, "I see you have got Miss Parry with you. I said "yes, do you know anything about her ?" She replied, I have seen her walking with gentlemen, and noblemen, who wanted her for no good." Five or six.weeks ago, the defend ant called amain, when I hea r d a g reat no i se i n t h e kitchen, and I went to see what was the matter. The defendant and the plaintiff were talking very loud, and rather angrily, when the defendant said to me, " The sooner you get rid of her the better, for she will c heat you before sh e h as d one w i t h you." They used abusive language on both sides. Mrs. Smith did not tell me not to tell Miss Parry what she had said of her. His honour said he did not think that the words were actionable; and if the plaintiff persisted in going on with the case, and the jury should find a verdict, lie should arrest the judgment at once. The question was, whether it was worth while, in such a trifling suit, to put the whole machinery of the law in motion, and go to the House of Lords, which would be the case. Mr. Littler: All we went is an apology. The counsel for the defendant denied that the words 'were used, and said that the word " cheat" was applied to Mrs. M'Coven for telling the conversation that had taken place to Miss Parry, whew she had promised not to do so. After some further conversation, the defendant made the apology, by saying that she never did, nor never intended tthoisimepauptleanaanjotnilinagj u im ro i r )ro w p a e s r t w o ith ai d e ra p w l n a , in a ti n ff d . was settled. the oUpon this explanation a juror was withdrawn, and the ease A CLAIM roil. CommissioN.—ln this action the Melsrs. Orr and Samuel, brokers and commission agents, were the plaintiffs, and Mr. Holland, ship owner, was the defendant. The claim was for the commission on the sale of a ship. Some time last year the ship Lady Sale arrived in. Liverpool, upon which the plaintiffs waited upon the defendant, the owner, and asked him if he wanted to have her chartered, and called several times, when he was informed that it was for sale, upon which he said, " well, I will try and find a purchaser for her," and took the ship's inventory. Subsequently to that lielad a correspondence with a Mr. Dauderdale, who came to Liverpool and looked at the ship. It was afterwards put up to auction by Mr. Tonge, but was bought in at the reserved bid, £2,300. After that, Mr. Danderdale purchas-d the ship for £2,000, and the plaintiff put in a claim for the commission on that amount, alleging that it was through his instru mentality that the purchase had been effected. In answer to that the defendant pleaded that he had never employed the plaintiff, but had put the sale of the ship into the hands of Mr. Tonge, to whom he had paid the commission. His Honour held that the plaintiff had never been employed, and that it would be a great act of injusti ce th at t h e defendant s h ou ld h av e to pay a second party the commission,' when he had ptid Mr. Tonge.

The session, which has been of much shorter duration than the average, has been unusually barren in cases of public interest. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE GREAT FLOAT.—Yester day morning Mr Churton, the coroner, held an inquest at the Sun Inn. Birkenhead, on the body of Martin Moran, late resident in Field-str3et, and engaged on the great float, under the contractor, Mr. M'Cormick. He was accidentally killed on Saturday by the falling of a balk of timber attached to a " jemmy," death was instantaneous. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. FATAL ACCIDENT AT BIRKENHEAD.—Edwara. Hunt, of Leicester-street, Birkenhead, was accidentally killed yesterday, in the Railway Works, at Grange-lane. It appears that the deceased and others were engaged in repairing a locomotive engine on the blocks. Deceased was undr the engine when one of the blocks gave way, precipitating the engine upon him and killing him upon the spot. He was dreadfully mutilated, his brain was scattered about the place. An inquest will be held on the body to-day. ACCIDENTS, YESTERDAY.—A labourer named Keeley, resident at 22, Lytham'-buildings, Chisholm-street, was crushed yesterday between two waggons in Waterloo road. He was most severely injured, and his skull received a compound fracture.—John Pilki igton, a labourer, livin g in Bootle, was accidentally injured in the wrist and hand by a shot from a gun which acci dentally went off whilst he had hold of it by the muzzle. Both the above cases were removed to the Northern Hospital. THE FOREIGN AND BRITISH BIIILE SOCIETY.—The annual and jubilee meeting of the Liverpool auxiliary branch of this society was held in the Philharmonic-hall last evening, pursuant to advertisement. The Lord Bishop of the Diocese presided. The hall presented a very brilliant appearance ; the galleries were filled and the body of the hall was crowded. The right rev. chairman, on taking the chair after the meeting had been constituted by prayer, apologised for the absence of the Earl of Shaftesbury, who, his lordship explained, had been prevented from attending owing to the severe illness of a member of his family. The Bishop then delivered a very eloquent and forcible address, in the course of which he made a strong appeal to all who were friendly to the objects of the society to promote and extend its usefulness by every means in their power. His lordship alluded in a very felicitous manner to the fact that Mr. William Brown, to whom Liverpool owed so much, was sitting obscurely amongst the audience, ',as if he were the most humble and least known individual among them ; and he adverted to the pleasure it gave him (the Bishop) to find himself surrounded by so many of his dissenting brethren, to whom the society was indebted for so large a measure of support. The report, which was of a favourable character, having been read, its adoption was mlved by the Rev. G. Smith, of London, and seconded by the Rev. Canon Stowell in a speech dis tinguishe 1 by the rev. gentleman's usual eloquence and point. The meeting was subsequently addressed by several other gentlemen, and closed with prayer. A public breakfast takes place this morning, in the Con cert-room of St. George's-hall, to celebrate the jubilee. ( s.4ipping lutritigetut. Wind yesterday, S.E. ; at Holyhead, E., fresh ARR: ,VED.

CONSUMPTION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURABLR, —" I believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound , and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas-- hill, Liverpool,4) will prone of more value, in cases of bron chitis and incipient consumption, than any other remedy extant. It relieves the most irritating cough in a few minutes; and, although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces sound and refreshiny sleep, soothes the nervous system, and restores the healthy action of the lungs." Recommended above all other medicines by Sir Alexander Tralles—see Thomson' Materiel Mediea, page 175, vol. 2. The following is from Dr.. Brett, the eminent chemist I consider the balsam of hore hound and aniseed, as prepared by Mr. Martin, an elegant and efficient cough remedy, and I fully agree with Sir Alexan der Tralles and Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson, that, in conjunc tion with cod liver oil, it is an admirable remedy for con sumption and delicate constitutions."—R. H. Brett, Ph. Dr., M.R.C.S., late Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurispru dence, Liverpool Royal Infirmary. The balsam of horehound and aniseed is prepared only by T. Martin, chemist, 22, Cop peras-hill, Liverpool ; but, owing to its great and increasing sale, agents have been appointed in all principal towns and cities. It can be procured wholesale from Raimes and Co., Edinburgh and York, from Sutton and Co., London, West macott, Manchester, and wholesale and retail from the manu facturer, as above.
