Garibaldi is reported to have replied— " My republic is Victor Emmanuel : I know no other.'' The othtr fact is this—Garibaldi lyeing informed that Mazzini intended to come to replied If lie comes to see the country lie shall be perfectly at liberty to do so : if lw collies to I ;onspire lie shall be shot." Our latest news of the whereabouts of Garibaldi is that he arrived, on the lettr, at Palermo from the Island of Madelena ; that at Palermo he remained for many hours in conversation with Depretis, after which he visited the barrack, monastery Della Gancia, and other establish ments. On the 17th he left on board the Wash int?;tnn for Messina, where everything is in the same position as when r wrote my last letter, except that both sides are► making the most active Preparations for the coming contest. The deter mined stand of the Neapolitan , Government, I believe, has put Garibaldi out in all his calcu lations. Since the departure of Count - d'Afinila, for ' London, we are told of the discovery of the blackest reactionary plot on the part of this man contemplating a general massacre of the people. The general conversation in all the cafes is-- Where really is Garibaldi ? First we hear of him at Palermo, then at Messina, then superin tending the works at the Torre del Faro, then in the Bay of Naples, then at the Island of Madda lena, then taking a run to his own Island, Caprea, then inspecting the Neapolitan coast, then again back to Palermo consulting with.Depretis, then to Messina, and here we lose all trace of this wonderful man. However, it is but too true he has not yet landed on the Calabrian coast.. We have this moment received two telegrams Which I give you, but I confess I doubt the authority of both. The first is dated Naples , 19 th inst., and announces that two companies of dragoons, and various soldiers, belonging to the artillery have joined the insurrectionary movement at Foggia. The second is that Gan °laic% with 6,000 men, has at last effected a land ing at Capo delrArmi. MILAN, August 23. At last the telegram has announced the truth, Garibaldi has really landed at Bagnara with 60(X) o f his men, which force having been joined by t hose that had already disembarked under the " 41 1rnand of Missori and the Calabrian insurgents, lad very little difficulty in taking the small city (4 Reggio. It is quite certain that, notwith standing the scanty information we received yesterday evening and this morning, the landing was not effected with that facility which was anticipated, as it appears the Neapolitan cruize rs, although not being able to prevent the landing, succeeded in sinking one of the largest steamers, the Torino, a great number of the volunteers who were on board being drowned, and all the arms and munition lost. Several other disembarka tions took place at different other parts of the Calabrian coast, so that Garibaldi's forces, when united with those of the insurgents of Reggio and the surrounding villages, cannot be less than 15,000 or 20,000 men. Potenza, in the province of the Basilican, has declared for the insurgents, and instituted a Pro visional Government. A few days will bring the Garibaldians face to face with Pianelli's forces, when we may anticipate a bloody struggle, which must decide either the defeat or triumphant mar eh of the Garibaldini to Naples before the middle of next week. _ . The same telegram announces that the elections have been adjourned till the end of September, and the convocation of the Parliament to the 20th of October. My next shall contain the results that are likely to arise from the landing of Garibaldi in the kingdom of Naples. THE INVASION OF NAPLES BY GARIBALDI. /RS STRENGTH IN STEAMERS, TRANS PORTS, AND LAND FORCES. A correspondent, who writes from Messina on the 19th instant, transmits the following particu lars respecting the force at Garibaldi's disposal at the time of his making his descent on the Mainland of Naples : "We have just witnessed the arrival in the roads of Messina of a very beautiful steam corvette, Purchased by Garibaldi. She carries a strong armament, and is to be joined to-morrow or next day by another, the Independence, which is nearly of the same force. The former, which hitherto has been called the Queen of England, is to be called ' Anita,' in honour of the wife of General Garibaldi, who died in Italy at the conclusion of the Roman campaign. ." The following is a list of the steamers com posing the squadron, which the General has at his disposal, and the number of men by which each vessel is manned : The Tukery (formerly the Veloce),(armed) BOO men. ~ Washington (formerly the Helvetia) lOOO „ ~ Franklin (Amsterdam) Oregon (Belzunce) 1, Calabria (Duc de Calabre) Elba ~ City of Aberdeen , l2OO ~ Torino . . ........ ............ 1500 „ Ferred (armed) ...... • Anita (Queen of England) ,(armed) 1800 ~ Independence (armed) •. . . ...... 1700 „ Another (name unknown) " There are, besides, more than 300 boats, com- Posing the flotilla, which have among them about 25 cannon ; two other ships are still expected fr om England. As for arms and ammunition, the arsenals are choke full of them. Including the . ' , ° o o men armed from Cagliari , th ere are at least 'roln 25,000 to 30,000 men ready to take part in the invasion. We must expect a denouement in the course of this week." SA D EFFECTS OF CRIME.

The -lloniteur also announces the arrival and enthusiastic reception of their Majesties at Lyons. PARIS, Aug. 26. The Moniteur of to-day publishes the speech of the Emperor in reply to the address of the civic authorities of Lyons. His Majesty said,—l thank you for the manner in which you appreciate my efforts to increase the prosperity of France. Solely occupied with the general interests of the country, I scorn all that which may place obstacles in the way of their development ; therefore, the unjust distrust excited abroad, as' well as the exaggerated alarms and selfish interests in the interior, will not affect me. Nothing will make me deviate from the path of moderation and jus tice, which I have followed, and which maintains France on the height of grandeur and prosperity that Providence has assigned her in the world. Therefore, give yourselves up with confidence to works of peace. Our destinies are in our hands. France give in Europe the. impulse to all great and generous ideas. She only suffers from evil influence when she is degenerating. Believe that, with the assistance of God, she shall not degenerate, under my dynasty. • LYONS, August 25.

A despatch from Reggio announces that, on the 21st inst., Garibaldi obtained another victory over a body of Neapolitan troops, who had retired into the citadel. General Cosenz, with a consi derable force, had crossed the Straits at Fiumi- cino. Eyewitnesses of Garibaldi's landing in Cala bria arrived at Marseilles on Wednesday. The defection of the army at Naples is extremely pro bable. More than ever it may be hoped that Gari baldi will enter the city in triumph and without bloodshed. FURTHER SUCCESSES OF THE GARIBALDIANS. PALERMO (via Genoa), August 23. The fort of Reggio capitulated on the 21st iust. The Neapolitan garrison is allowed to leave Ivith muskets and personal baggage only. After a short fight, the Garibaldiaus have occupied the Villa San Giovanni. Two Neapolitan frigates, the Melandes and the Brigante, have surrendered at discretion to General Cosenz. The Garibal dians are masters of their artillery, arms, &c., and of Fort del Pizza. NAPLES. NAPLES (via Marseilles), August 21. Moderate candidates opposed to annexation to.

The following appeared in our later editions of Saturday : The Secretary of Legation at Belgium sends the usual report of the trade and commerce of Belgium during the last half of the year 1859. The animation which succeeded the conclusion of the war in Italy, was only partial. The lace trade is depressed. In cotton and woollen goods there appears to have been no alteration. The home trade has especially suffered, the demand for all articles of luxury having been very limi ted. Among the iron manufacturers there are general complaints ; so the shipping returns are unsatisfactory, and a diminution in the tonnage has occurred. COMMERCIAL. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. David Barclay & Sons, tanners, will be held on Tuesday nex A:elegrams dated St. Petersburg, yesterday, report the exchanges firm, and the price of wheat advancing, owing to the news from France.

COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, 14th Aug., Evening.—The statement of exports, exclusive of specie, to foreign ports since January Ist shows an aggregate increase of over fourteen millions of dollars. Money dull and unchanged, incle ment weather operating against business. In foreign exchanges a fair business has been done at 1091 to 110. Mercantile bills scarce and in demand. More business doing in stocks, but prices as a general thing tended downward. Illinois Central sold at 80, and New York Centrals at 861-. Hudsons and Erie were stead y . Haarlem, both kinds, free of one per cent. State stocks do not vary. Cotton firmer and more active. The sales posted up were from 2,500 to 3,000 bales. Flour, in consequence of bad weather, was inactive, and sales of State and 'Western were moderate and easier. Southern Flour was steady and in good request. Wheat irregular. Corn heavy. Pork quiet.

Sales 3,000 on the basis of 10,1 for middling upland. Flour inactive, owing to the inclemency of the weather, and quotations of State and Western rather easier ; sales 700 barrels. Corn heavy.

Freight for cotton to Liverpool, 9-16 d. (From W. P. Wright anal Co.'s Cotton Circalar.) NEW YORK, Aug. 15. In this market during the past week, the demand has been moderate, and prices are without change. Holders maintain great firmness in view of the continued low scale of prices from Liverpool. The sales for the week are estimated at 6,000 bales, and the clearances same time have been—for Liverpool, 10 bales ; Barcelona, 691 ; Havre, 400; Brenitn, 234; total, 1,335 bales. By the telegraph from New Orleans, the receipts c 4 new cotton give the opportunity to buyers of securing a fair quantity to fill pending freight engagements, and make early shipments. The price of Middling, new crop, has not declined below 10,e to Ile per lb., at which price there are buyers for France, the Continent, and our northern markets. Business will be resumed at an earlier date than usual this coming season at all the Southern ports. Cnor.—Since the sailing of the last steamer, the accounts from the South, generally by mail, are rather less unfavourable for crop prospects. Seasonable rains have fallen ; and where such can be productive of good, the plant will be benefitted. The drought, however, has been so severe, that in many cases the crop has been forced to maturity pre maturely, and in such rain will have an injurious effect, ca using forms and squares to fall off, and a new growth of wood to start. By tele graph from New Orleans we are led of a violent storm and heavy rains in that vicinity 0 the 11th. Should these have extended over the area under cotton cultiva tion (and from the occurrence of heavy rains and high winds here on the 13th and yesterday, there is a proba bility that such may be the fact), we may soon hear complaints of too much rain and damage to the Crop. The real obstacle to a good crop is heavy and continuous rain, it being too late nosy to expect cotton to make from the second growth of the plant, induced by the rains of last week. Public opinion is very sensitive at this moment on the subject of rain. Nzw COTTON.--There have been received two bales from Florida at Charleston, about 7th of August, nearly four weeks earlier than last, year. At Memphis two bales had been received from Arkansas river on the 9th of August. The total at New Orleans up to the afternoon of the 13th amounts to 3000 bales-, against 478 bales to same time last year, and at Mobile 120 bales, against 2 bales last year. The amount to be received prior to the let of September, which will be counted into the crop of last year, is variously estimated at from 25,000 0.40,000 bales. RECEIPTS at the ports for the week under review amount to 9,000 bales, including 5,000 bales for correc tions at New Orleans upon taking stock. SUMMARY. — Receipts : Increase at the ports compared with last year, 763,000 bales.

Miramon, to get rid of the difficulty in which he finds himself involved with the diplomatic corps by Zuloaga's decree depriving him of his title of President-Substitute, was endeavouring to raise an army sufficient to enable him to declare him self Dictator.

The House of Lords met for a short time and passed the following bills : —Consolidated Fund . Appropriation Bill, Spirits, Savings Banks, and Friendly Societies, Peace Preserv ation (Ireland) Act Amendment, East India Loan, Spirit Duties, Roman Catholic Charities, Exchequer Bonds and Bills (L 2,000,000), and the Mititia Pay Bills. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-SATURDAY. The House met at twelve o'clock. Mr. COCHRANE gave notice that at the next sitting he should move that the militia should not be called out till after the harvest, on account of the state of the weather. Mr. GRIFFITRE called attention to the services rendered by Abd-el-Bader and the sister of Said Bey in saving the lives of Christians during the massacre at Damascus. Lord PALMEASTON replied, that in recognition of the humanity of Abd-el-Kader and the lady in question the Government had conveyed to them their formal thanks. Mr. COCHRANE called attention to a decree in the French official journal ordering the construction of permanent works on Lake Leman. If the French thus took military possession of the neutralised provinces it would be absurd to talk of a conference. Lord PALMERSTON knew nothing_ about the matter beyond what appeared in the newspapers. Her Majesty's Government held that neither France could take nor Sardinia cede Savoy if the neutralised territory was thereby to be freed from former conditions. France had contended that the cession depended upon two eonditions---that the people of Savoy should give its consent, and that the treaty 'should be ratified by the Sardinian Parliament. How the consent of the people was obtained it was not for him to say, but it was not likely, after th? Govern ment of Turin had ratified the treaty that the Parliament would refuse to sanction it. In reply to Sir F. Smith, Mr. Wurrs ,EAD stated that the Government had considered the project of the late Mr. Rennie for the improvement of the navigation of the Medway and of Chatham Dockyard; part of these plans had received the sanction of the Admiralty, but circumstAes were now so changed that it was no longer con sidered advisable to adopt them. In reply to Mr. White, Sir G. C. LEWIS said that he was not aware that the paper makers had sustained any loss in consequence of the decision of the House of Lords, or were thereby entitled to claim com pensation. The consideration of the Lords' reasons for disagree ing to the Commons ammdments to the Conjugal Rights (.Acotland) Bill was postponed till Tuesday, which is virtually postpoing the bill till next session. Lord PALMERSTON, in moving that the House, at its rising, adjoura till Tuesday, called attention to the labours of the committees of the House, which he highly eulogised, especially the printing committee. . . Mr. CRAUFORD called attention to the ircreaso of the salary of the Dean of York. Sir G. C. LEWIS explained the circumstances under which the salary was raised, adding that three members of the Government, who formed part of the commissionikhad voted in the minority against raising the salary. The House adjourned at shortly after six o'clock till Tuesday. THE STEPNEY MURDER. LATEST PARTICULARS. It has already been stated that application had been , made to the authorities of the Home Office to issue a reward for the apprehension of the murderer or mur derers, and that Mr. Faith and Mr. Whittaker, the two sons-in-law of the deceased, had also declared their willingness to add £2OO as a further reward for the discovery of the assassin or assassins. During , Saturday afternoon the police were busy in posting at the various police stations monster placards, as well as distributing small handbills, of which the following is a copy :-- " noo REwARD.—MuRDER.—Whereas Mary Ems ley,' widow, has been brutally murdered at 9, Grove road, Mile End-road, on or about Monday, the 13th August, 1860, £lOO reward be paid by her Majesty's Government to any person giving such information as shall lead to the apprehension and conviction of the guilty person or persons; and the Secretary of State for the Home Department will advise the grant of her Majesty's gracious pardon to any accomplice, not being the actual murderer, who shall give each information as shall lead to the same result. A further reward of £2OO will also be paid by Mr. Ratcliff, solicitor, Dean Colet House, Stepney, to any person who shall give informa tion as above. A mourning ring, to the memory of J. * Jones, who died 1830 ; a dark-coloured pocket-book, containing an acceptence of £25 ; also a check on the Bank of London for £lO, are missing. Information to he given to Inspector Thornton or Sergeant Tanner, Detective Police, Scotland-yard, or to Inspector Ker resey, Bow Police Station, K Division.—Metropolitan Police Office, August 24, 1860." On Saturday, three well-dressed foreigners, who could speak English tolerably well, and who, we believe, gave their names and addresses, called at the police station, near Arbour-square, Stepney, adjoining the 'Thames police court, and informed Inspector Griffin of the K division, then on duty, that they had strong suspicion as to who were the murderers. They said their sus picions rested upon three or four Frenchmen who had been for some time lurking about the East End of London, whom they knew to have been Fretch convicts. Several house robberies and burglaries have lately been reported as perpetrated by foreigners answering the description given of these men. The most remarkable part of the representation, how- Chat ilao tinuu foLcipnore cfa+ad +he ittepekAvi that they have seen the individuals to whom they refer since the period of the murder, and that they are now well-dressed and have been spending a great deal of money, It is their impression that one if not two of these men had called upon the deceased, and having gained access to the house, and finding she was alone, had committed the murder. There can be no doubt that the large reward offered will stimulate the police to energetic action, and if there are any accomplices it may lead to one turning Queen's evidence, as it is understood that not only the reward but her Majesty's free pardon will be accorded to anyone except the actual assassin. THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY. As it is not generally known that the principal object of the visit of the Prince of Wales to the British North American colonies, is to place in situ the last stone of the Great Victoria Tubular Bridge erected at Montreal, across the St. Lawrence, to connect the 500 miles of railway owned by the Grand Trunk Company on each side of that river, a few particulars concerning this noble structure and the magnificent system of railway commu nication of which it is the key-stone may net at the present time be considered uninteresting. The length of the bridge is 7,000 feet, and its height in centre 60 feet above summer water level. It contains 3,000,000 cubic feet of masonry, and 8,000 tons of iron in its tubes through which the trains pass, the time occu p ied i n going through the bridge being ordinarily about four minutes, but such is the capacity of the structure that trains could with equal safety be driven at the rate of 60 miles an hour. By means of this bridge, which will for ever stand the grandest monument t o the en g ineerin g genius of Stephenson and Ross, Mo ntreal, the commercial metropolis of Canada becomes the centre of a railway diverging westwards to Lake Hu ron, and east wards to Portland on the Atlantic Sea coast, and to Ri v i ere du Loup, 250 miles below the tidal waters o f the St. Lawrence—the whole length of line, without a b reak of gauge, being 1,900 miles. At Detroit, in th e west, a direct connection has been made with the American railway system ; so that a passenger from E urope, dis embarking at Quebec or Portlan d, is conve yed to Chi cago—a distance of upwards of 1,000 miles—with only one change of carriage. At Portland the Grand Trunk Railway connects, in its own depot , the cars of th e Boston railways ; so that direct communication with the whole of the New England, New York, and the South ern States is thereby obtained. At Riviere du Loup th e proposed extensions of the Halifax and St. John's railways will meet, and thus will the capitals of Canada, Nova &Via, and New Bi'unswick be brought within a 20 hours' run of each other. This accomplished, and nearly a third of the distance between the Atlantic and the Pacific in the direct line of the proposed railway route through British America will he completed, as a first instalment of an undertaking which, it is to be hoped, before a d eca d e of years shall have passed away, will have become a fixed fact, and passengers between England and her Indian empire will be traversing the American continent, and only occupying in the journey between London and Hong Kong about seventeen days. The country through which the line passes is salubrious and fertile to the base of the Rocky Mountains, and as British North America contains upwards of 4,000,000 square miles, or about an eighth of the habitable globe, with in exhaustible forests of the finest timber, mi nes of coal, iron, &c., a climate unsurpassed by any other country in the world, a field for the emigrant is offered, by the opening up of these vast regions, with advantages far superior to these of which the United States and the colonies in the Pacific can boast. Em;- gration for the moment is suspended, comparatively speaking, but a renewed exodus from the over -crowded countries of this hemisphere for the new world must shortly again take place, and with the view of assisting the emigrant in his selection of a transatlantic home, the Grand Trunk Company have made arrangements by which information regarding Canada and British North America generally can be obtained at their London office, 21, Old Broad-street. Maps, plans, pamphlets, bearing on the points of most interest to emigrants to Britain's North American Colonies, can be had gratui tously on application at the offices, or by letter to the secretary.—Morning Star. THE SPIRIT TRADE.—The spirit trade has diminished one-fourth since the recent increase of the duty ; and it is said that several distillers are going to convert their establishments into breweries. —Cambridge Chronicle.

Peile, Scott, and Co. for Messrs. Bushby and Edwards, of Liverpool, during the last eighteen years. THE PIRK THEATRE LICENSE.—On Saturday, at the police court, before Messrs. Sheil, Preston, J. R. Jeffery, and Parker, Mr. Edgar, the lessee for the Park Theatre, applied for a renewal of the license for that house, and also'a transfer of it to Mr. Frederick Wright. Both applications were granted, as there was no opposi tion, the parties being respectable, and the house well conducted. NEW LICENSES FOR THE KIRRDALE DIVISION.—A general annual licensing sessions for this division of the county, was held on Friday last, at which William Hall, Esq., the senior magistrate, presided. From the report of the constabulary force, it appeared there were sixty-eight public-houses in the district, and for the last twelve months only four out of that number had been fined. There was a large number of application for new licenses, only two of which, that of Ellis Bramwell, and James M'Dougall, were granted. VALENTINE VouSDEN ! —The inimitable Vousden is about tio visit the "good old town," after an absence of some years. He comes full of vigour, and with an ad dition to his unrivalled and peerless'entertainment, which not only delighted our town's folk heretofore, but created a furore. He appears on Monday week at the favourite Clayton Hall, and we know that thousands who have witnessed his triumphs on former visits, and thousands who were disappointed at not being able to procure ad mission, will now flock to the hall, and we can promise them that they never enjoyed an evening's amusement with more satisfaction. LIVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY.—Return for week ending '2sth August, 1860: Admitted, in-patients, 34 ; out-patients, 29 ; surgical casualties, 33.

Rawdon ; chaplain, Rev. Edward Poole; treasurer, Mr. C. Wilson. ELOPEMENT IN HIGH QUARTERS.—It has been jocosely suggested that as, since the eclipse, the sun has never been seen, the fiery gentleman has eloped with the Countess Luna, who keeps him jealously hidden from mortal sight. It is the only reasonable cause for this extraordinary absence from his duties and his family. If he will return to the disconsolate mourners of his absence, everything will be forgiven, and all will be well. We trust that these few lines may meet the eye of the absentee, and have some effect. PRESENTATION TO A CAPTAIN.—At a special and hastily-summoned meeting of the Local Marine Board, held on Friday last, Captain James Potts, master of the Nina, of Whitby, was presented with a telescope by the Board of Trade, for rescuing the master and crew of the Blessing, of Sunderland, on the 16th of February last. Mr. W. J. Tomlinson presided, and, in making the presentation, said that it always afforded the Board of Trade great pleasure in appreciating such heroic conduct astad distinguished the acts of Captain Potts in rescuing so many of his brother tars. Mr. Towson, the secre tary to the Local Marine Board, having explained that Captain Potts was about to sail on that day, read the official documents from the Board of Trade, and the meeting separated. THE PRICE OF BREAD. —The bakers of this town have for the last few days had it in contemplation to advance the price of bread one penny in the 41b loaf. The reason assigned for it was the continued advance on the Corn Exchange. Preparations were actually made for carry ing out that object; hut it is with pleasure we have to inform our readers that no such advance.will, at least for the present, take place. The inhabitants of Manchester have not, however, been so fortunate, for the following announcement has been published in the Manchester journals :—" Price of Bread.—ln consequence of the continued advance in the price of flour, the bakers of Manchester and Salford have advanced the counter price of best bread to 71,d. per lb. loaf." THE SOUTHPORT PENNY BANK. —On Friday last the promoters and friends o this hank held their first half yearly meeting at the Town-hall, Southport. From the statement of the treasurer it appeared that, although the bank had only been in existence for a short time, it had gradually and steadily increased in the amount of its receipts. There were 490 depositors, whose lodgments amounted to £207 lls. 3d., while the sale of bank books and fines inflicted amounted to £2 3s. 10d., making a total of £209 15s. 12d. Of this sum there was drawn from the bank £3l lls. 51,c1., which, together with sundry expenses, made up £4O 1 le. 70., thereby leaving a balance in the bank of £169 3s. 6d. The report of the treasurer concluded by describing the pre sent position of the hank as being of the most satisfactory and progressive nature. TUE Picrozr-TrAT.,Ln AND Tun LAWYERS.—At the County Magistrates' Court, on Saturday, a well-known thief, named John Easby, was brought before Messrs. R. Neilsen and IV Preston, by Police-constable Moody o of the County Constabulary, on a charge of stealing some pigeons belonging to Mr. Thos. Billison, of West Derby. The facts of the case were exceedingly simple, the prisoner having been seen loitering about the pre mises, and afterwards leaving with the pigeons in a bag ; but the old adage of " too many cooks spoil the broth" was fully exemplified, and through a multiplicity of legal talent the prisoner was left to his own resources. When the case was called on, Mr. 'Cobb, brief in hand, said he appeared to defend him, but Mr. Gray also claimed the same privileges. They each said that Mr. Bluck had Been instructed by the prisoner's friends, had received the fee, and then requested each to come there to defend the man. Under such circumstances, neither Mr. Gray nor Mr. Cobb would a pp ear, the la t t er observing " that it was generally the case when Mr. Bluck held a brief in that court, he got half-a-dozen lawyers to appear for him." The prisoner .pleaded his own case, denied all knowledge of the robbery, but admitted that he was in the locality looking after " this 'ere 'oss;" but the magistrates informed him that they considered the case fully proved, and should send him for trial, upon which he, to avoid the unpleasant uncertainty of deferred punishment, -pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to four months imprisonment in Kirkdale Gaol. THE FOOTRACING AT ROCK FERRY.—The athletic sports and footraces which were announced for Saturday last took place on the afternoon of that day, in a large field at Rock Ferry. From ten o'clock until three in the afternoon the boats were crowded with visitors, who included a great number of ladies and gentlemen of the middle and higher classes. The ground on which the sport took place was exceedingly damp, from the great quantity of Orin which has recently fallen, and, conse quently, as unfit as it could possibly have been for testing the real capabilities of the runners. As it was, however, they acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner, and no prize was won without a stout contest. Of the races the most amusing was the Naval Steeple chase, which was run for by a number of the sailors of the St. George, and many of the tars met with the common mishap of jumping into the ditch, and afforded great amusement to the spectators, without losing their own good humour. Besides the races, there was a variety of sports, including leaping, vaulting, fencing, and boxing (the latter got up by the sailors and confined to themselves). A good band, which was stationed on the field, played during the afternoon, and from the fine state of the weather and the large number of spectators everything would have been favourable to a good day's sport, had it not been for the state of the ground. A few days ago we published a description of the prizes (which were dis tributed by Mrs. Young). The following is a list of the winners :—For the first race, the Trial Stakes, Roberts came in the first, and Chapman second. For the Ladies' Purse, H. R. Robertson was first, Merry second, and Wills third. In the Rock Ferry Steeplechase, Freeman was first, and Yate Lee second. For the Mersey Steeple chase, Grundy was first, and Robertson second (this race was disputed, as the winner is said to be a pro fessional ; the matter is to be settled by the committee). The prizes for jumping were Birkett first, Ramsay second. The sports were brought to a conclusion at five o'clock.

We are certain every one who has seen them has been delighted, and we trust all who have been hitherto prevented from doing so, will not lose the present opportunity of witnessing their clever entertainment. A NEW STEAM ENGINE. Anything connected with, or appertaining to, the improvement of the steam engine must necessarily be of interest to all classes of the community, as its import ance is dilly appreciated by all from the great advantages which this country has , derived from the application of steam power. On Saturday we were invited to inspect a new steam engine, which has been invented and patented by Mr. Thomas Blakely, and which was exhibited at No. 12, Mount Pleasant. Those who have been accustomed to see steam engines, with all their beautiful, but to the general observer complicated, machinery, and the large amount of space they of neces sity occupy, will at once be struck with the appearance of this new invention. The one we saw at work, for the first time, was an eight horse-power engine, and is so constructed that it occupies only a few feet, and does not weigh over a few hundred weight. For many years engineers and others have devoted much time and attention to constructing machines that will transmit rotary motion obtained by the force of steam. on a piston affixed to a horizontal shaft, and thus do away with the complications, cost, and friction of the engines at present in use. Hitherto such attempts, have been failures, and the up and down, or backward and forward, motion, has been transformed into rotary, by the assistance of universal weights— such as flywheels—but from the invention of this new engine, all these difficulties have been overcome, and, as far as we could see, successfully, for its working was easy, quiet, speedy, and exact; the weight attached to it by a rope having been raised and lowered at any speed, and could be stopped at any minute ; and, as the inventor assured us, with a considerable saving of fuel. Of course we are not in a position to give a practical opinion upon such an invention, but, from the success which attended its first trial, we should certainly. recommend all practical men, especially those who are interested in the econo mization of space and fuel, to pay a visit of inspection► to this newly invented rotary steam-engine, where Mr. Thomas Blakely, engineer and patentee, will be delighted to give all necessary information and fully explain its details. PRIVATE VIEW OF THE EXHIBITION OF THE SOCIETY OF FINE ARTS, BOLD STREET. The private view of the Exhibition - prepared by the Liverpool Society of Fine Arts, Bold-street, took place on Saturday. The weather cleampd up as if in compli ment to them, and, notwithstanding the foot-races at Birkenhead, the rooms were tolerably well filled by those who are supposed to take some interest in art. It is a great pity that in matters of art, as well as in everything else, the age is so fast; if it be not a general mistake ; but, in order to precede the opening of the Academy Exhibition in Post-office-place, and to avoid the Review of Volunteers at Knowsley, the private view of this Exhibition has been offered before the Exhibition was ready. Something similar to this took place last year. We are quite aware of the depraved taste for green currants and other unusualities; but a private view of a gallery of pictures, while the step-ladders used to hang them still remain in the room—when the num bers have not been put upon half the pictures, and of the numbers placed nearly one half are wrong—. while the catalogue, far from complete, and what is professedly prepared has great omissions, and mistakes, is very far from satisfactory. Under these circumstances, we cannot, in common justice, go into details in our report, but must reserve them for a future opportunity. The general aspect of the Exhibition would manifest a larger number of pictures than there were last year; but the small room at the top of the flight of stairs in the first division of the gallery has been closed, and the stairs have been removed, which may account for a number of pictures on screens, on the backs of seats, and on the ground—in most perilous places, and not very convenient to the visitors. We are not able to say that we see any improvement on last year in the works exhibited. There are not quite so many foreign pictures perhaps: But there is tire " Norwegian Fiord," by Lea, so like the last that we took it for a duplicate ; several imitations by Becker and others ; some more pretty little studies of children, by Boser ; some candlelights, by Von Schendel; an elaborately painted and powerful photographic " View of Malaga," by Bossuet ; a " Death of Gustavus Adolphus," by GeseJlschap. Mr. Cross, who obtained a prize of £2OO in Westminster Hall for " Richard Coeur de Lion Par doning Bertram de Gourdon," has sent his " Death of Thomas a'Beckett ; Mr. O'Neil his "Sailor Volunteer ing to take a Rope on Shore from a Wreck ;" and Mr. Solomons his picture of " Drowned, Drowned," sug gested by Thomas Hood's affecting little poem, "One more unfortunate." The two latter excited much atten tion in London ; but we apprehend they are not likely to be in so much favour here. The other historical and poetical efforts we must reserve until we can make .our selves better acquainted with them, and find out to whom we are to attribute them. There are a number of clever works of a lea pretentious description to which ,his reservation must also apply. THE LIME-STREET SUPPER ROOMS. CAUTION TO YOUNG MEN. On Saturday morning, before Mr. Houghton, at the Police-court, Samuel Jones (a name which is supposed to be a fictitious one), a fashionable -looking young man, was placed in the dock, along with two costly dressed and fine looking females, named Caroline Jones and Emma Henderson, charged with having assaulted and robbed a flashy-looking female, named Fanny Clifton, of her gold watch, gold chain, gold brooch, and negligee, the previous night in Allen's Supper-rooms, Lime-street. Mr. Bluck defended the prisoners. The officer who had charge of the case having stated it, Mr. , Bluck asked him what the prisoners said to the charge when taken into custody, and he said they all denied it. The complainant was then put into the box, when she made all sorts of " faces," which.induced every one who saw her to conclude that she had been imbibing some thing stronger than tea or coffee during the morning. Mr. Bluck to the witness) : I ask yen, now, .do you persist in the charge against the young gentleman who stands there. at the bar ? Witness I do—(fearful grimaces)—so far as this, that he held me by the two hands whilst the two ladies were robbing me.. She then went on to state the case, and said about two o'C'hick is the morning I was in Allen's Sapper-rooms, Lime-street, and had my watch, chain, and other things. The watch was worth £3 or £4, the chain cost £6 10s., the drop chain £2 10s., but I 'do not remember what the brooch cost. The prisoners stole them all from me. (Here again she made all sorts of contorted faces, as Mr. Bluck rose to examine her.) —Mr, Block : Were you sober at the time ? Yes, as sober as lam now. (Laughter.)—Mr. Bluck : And are you sober now ? I got nothing from you—that is my affair.—Mr. Block : Well, and it is mine too ; are you sober now ? Well, I got nothing from you, at all events. (Laughter.)—Mr. Bluck: When did you go to bed? At about half-past three in the morning.—What time did you get up this morning ? (Fearful faces again.) Half-past ten. Had you any ‘ drink this morning ? That's my affair and business.—" Mr. Bluck : And mine too, for you must answer. Witness : I got none from you.—Mr. Bluck : Come, answer, on your oath what had you to drink this morning ? Well, if you wish to know, I had a glass of bitter ale, and a bottle of soda water in it.—What did the female prisoners do to you ? They insulted me when I was with a gentleman, who has supported me for years past.—Mr. Bluck : What are you ? What do you think ?—Mr. Bluck : Are you not an unfortunate female on the streets ? Witness (with another awful grimace) : Not now, but I was; I am supported by a gentleman now. Do you know the young man at the bar ? Yes ; I know him to be knocking about Lime-street, a bully for gay women. (Laughter.) She then weßt on to say that the young man held her, whilst the females took her things. • She admitted that there was a general fight, and that the things were either lost or taken during the row. The brooch was afterwards got on the steps of the door.—Mr. Bluck again called the officer, who said the young man followed the girls to Hotham-street, and when there he was given into cus tody ; but several gentlemen stated that he (the young man) had nothing to do in the transaction, except that he interfered to quell the row that took place between the females.—Mr. Bluck said after that there was an end to the charge. He hoped it would be a warning to him all the days of his life.—Mr. Houghton said if young men attended such places as the Lime-street supper-rooms, they must expect to get into such serapes with such women. He hoped it would be a warning to the young man for the rest of his life. He then dis charged all the prisoners. SALUTING BY QUEEN'S TROOPS. The following , Order of the Day has been issued to the troops at Chat ham Garrison by Major-General Eyre, relative to the respect to be shown by the troops to the officers and men of volunteer corps :—" The Major-General desires that all non-commissioned officers and soldiers salute officers of Volunteers dressed in uniform. Guards are to get under arms whenever armed parties of volunteers, marching in usual * military order, approach their posts. To armed parties commanded by officers, guards and sentries are to present arms. Parties with side arms are to be considered as armed parties." DEATH OF THE EARL OF LAUDERDALE.-- We have to record the death of the Earl of Lauderdale, which took place at his seat, Thirlestane Castle, Berwickshire, on th e eighth earl, by the daught er an d Wednesday, in the 70th year of his a g e. The deceased peer was son of co-heir of Mr. Anthony Todd, secretary to the Post office, and was born in Wimpole-street, in 1784. He succeded to the earldom on the death of his father, in 1839, and was. heritable Standard-bearer of Scotland, aug Marshal of the Royal Household there ; he was sa d cr i co n ht g l t a o na nnds4hai Duke e du . k thee The of h s e e ao fi n r ud s d t ee r p adr e la r we_as w h a s corne L ao o u rt z: Lord-Lieute nant of Berwickshire, and a Deputy-Lieu which expired with him, teCmhnaanernqcuteislelofori:ofmad LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.--SATURDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) A BRUTE PUNISHED. Thomas Rigby, a mechanic, was charged with having com mitted the following gross outrage on a decent married young woman, named Margaret Roberts. The complainant said she has a sore foot . . and m nd cannot walk upon it. In esequence of it, at ten o'clock on Friday night, she was carrie d by her two sisters to a doctor's shop for advice and medicine, Snd on their return through Northumberland-street (her sisters carrying her still), the prisoner came up and acted in a very indecent manner towards her. Her sisters then l et her down, and she stood, as well as she could, on her one foot, when the prisoner struck her a blow on the eye, which blackened it, and she fell on the street. Not content with that, he gave her a kick in the side, and injured her severely. She never saw him before, nor did she, of course, know anything about him. Her sisters called the police, and the prisoner was given into custody. The sisters of the complainant fully corroborated this state ment. The prisoner, in reply to Mr. Raffles, denied the charge, and said the story told at the bridewell by the parties was quite different to that told now. Mr. Bateman, the bride well-keeper, said the story told by the three females was exactly the same as that told by them now, and the prisoner did not then deny it. Prisoner : lam very sorry for it now. Mr. Raffles : I think this about the worst case I have heard. You first insult, in an indecent manner, this poor decent help less woman. and, not content with that, you assault her severely. I think your conduct most brutal ; and for that I sentence you to imprisonment for six months, and to be kept to hard labour. WIFE BEATING. Michael Ashcroft was charged by his wife, Mary, for having violently assaulted her. It was proved that the prisoner was in the habit of getting drunk, and whilst in that state he used to ill-use her very much. The previous night, as usual, he beat her severely, without any provocation. It was shown that the woman was a sober respectable person, whilst her husband was a drunken worthless fellow ; and his children begged the policeman to take hip 4 away, as they were afraid of him, and when he was in custody they appeared quite pleased. The prisoner gave an execuse, saying he was drunk. Mr. Raffles said there was a man to be hung in a few days for the murder of his wife, and his excuse was drunkenness also ; and no doubt he did not intend to kill her, yet he was to be hung. If you had killed this woman, you would be hung also. If you persist in your drunkenness you may expect nothing less. I will give you some time to reflect on your conduct, by committing you to gaol for three months with hard labour. HOUSE ROBBERY. A young fellow, named William Dickenson, was charged with having broken into the house of Mr. Brown, of 86, Faulkner-street, and stolen thereout a considerable quantity of property. It appeared that the family were at Southport, and the house was closed up. On Friday, from information received be Police-officer 4, he got into the house, and found the prisoner in the yard, with the property packed up ready for removal. There were two other persons in the place, but they got away. The prisoner was sent for trial. CORONER'S INQUESTS.-SAT URDAY. The Coroner held the following inquests:— On the body of Thomas Stuart, twenty-three years of age, who was engaged at Messrs. Mactle's sugar-house, Batchelor-street. On the 3rd of this month he 'was badly scalded, and although everything was done for him (by order of his employers), he died in consequence of the injuries received. The affair was purely accidental, and the jury found accordingly. On the body of a child named William Hampson, twenty-one months old, the child of parents residing in Kirkdale.. It appeared that on Thursday the child was injured in the street by a horse going over it, and death was the result. Verdict, accidental death. On the body of Mary Read, 23 years of age, who was the wife of a seafaring man, who had deserted her and her child since last December, She was the sister-in law of Mr. Charles Anley, who keeps a photographic establishment in Paradise-street, and it seemed that she, in a fit of despondency,•took a quantity of prussic acid (used in the operation of Mr. Anley's business), and from the evidence of Surgeon Brown there was no doubt that she died from the effects of that poison. She knew what the poison was, and had been employed by her brother-in-law for some time past. Verdict— " Poisoned herself whilst labouring under temporary insanity." On the body of Thomas Cearns, five years old, the son of a labourer in Collingwood-street. The lad went. out on Tuesday last, and was not seen afterwards until Saturday morning, when his body was found in the Leeds Canal. Verdict, " Found drowned." On the body of an unfortunate girl, named Elizabeth Baty, 26 years of age, who died in a bad house in a court off Gildart-street. She died suddenly, and from the medical evidence no doubt remained that death was the result of disease of the heart. Verdict accordingly. [This. concluded, for ever, the business in the old court, Lord-street,. as the business will henceforth be carried on in the new court, Dale-street. The present worthy coroner has held the office over twenty-five years, and in that time has held nearly' ten thousand inquests in this court.] PUBLICATIONS.

FOOLISH THINGS.--It's a very foolish =thing for, a young man to think he does hitnself credit by hanging round theatre doors, smoking bad cigars, and paying for expensive oyster suppers, in order to be called " liberal" by a clique of, youths as soft in the brain as himself. It's very foolish for a lady to be annoyed because gen tlemen do not always give her the best half of the street and the nicest seat in the omnibus. It's very foolish for an unfledged clerk to think he must buy ex travagant gloves and cravats for every festive occasion, because Jones, whose father is worth thirty thousaud, does so. It's very foolish for a girl to stay away from a party because she has worn all her dresses, and can't have a new one. It's very foolish for a man to b e extra fastidious ab et-handkerchiefs,out rose water, di and then amond finger-rings, and scented pock set soci e ty at defiance with his snuff-box and cigar case. very foolish for a n old bachelor to attempt to dar n' his own foc ki ng s without a Steel thimble an a, good stock of patience, or to venture where there are a dozen pretty COURT MOURNING.

Stopping Decayed Teeth, and every operation appertaining to Dentistry, at moderate charges. VALUE AND IMPORTANCE OF THE TEETH. The Teeth influence the form and expression of the countenance more than is generally imagined, and the finest. face is disfigured if the Teeth are irregular, and a dis agreeable expression is produced. When the Teeth are good and regular, there is, when speaking or smiling, a fascination present which prevents further examination of the countenance. The most striking cases are those persons about the middle period of life who have lost their Teeth ; for, how ever clear and perfect their utterance may have been before their Ices, it is impossible to regain it without sup plring the deficiency by means of Artificial Teeth.
