Mr. hunt= strcngly objected to any plan for remlving to the north end the timber trade, for which he contended that the south end trial the natural pl9ce. Mr. SMITH thought, if the accommodation given at the north end were sufficient, Mr. Halhead would find that he sto 4 alone in his opinion. Mr. BOLD suggested that the widenirg of the Queen's Dock quays and the continuation of Sefton street, which were estimated in 1853 at a cost of about £BO,OOO, should also form a subject of consideration. The CHAIRMAN said that subject would open the que.tion, whether it was the duty of the dock trust to pay for the improvement of a street which ran outside the dock boun dary. although it might be useful to the dock quays. Mr. BOLD said that question was one of the reasons why he suggested that the subject should be considered. The report was ordered to lie on the table for a fortnigbt, and the suggestion of Mr. Bold was adopted. In the marine department the tender of Messrs. Bancroft was sculpted for two thousand gallons of best r fined olive oil. A report was read from Mr. Hartley, stating that the performance of Messrs. Thompson's contract, for the ex cavation and deepening of the great float, was obstructed by the number of vessels and the quantity of timber at present there and recommending that instructions should be given for the removal of the timber, and that no vessels be permitted to enter until the obstructions were re moved. The recommendation was confirmed. A donation of £lO was granted to the widow of James Friendship, who died from the effects of an injury re ceived in landing timber from the flats in the Birkenhead Docks. A. memorial from a number of cart-owners, at and about the Waterloo Dock, complaining of inconvenience frequently caused by the bridge between that ani the Victoria Dock being up, and suggesting a more convenient place for a cartbtand, was referred to the Harbour-master's Com mittee. A letter was read from Mr Curry, the coroner, stating that at an inquest held on the body of a man named Threlfal), who fell into the Clarence Graving Dock, it appeared that the steps of the dock were out of repair, and thus caused his fall. Mr. HARTLIY, the surveyor, said he heard the man fell from the top of the wall to the bottom, and that he was not upon the steps at all, The letter was refAred to the surveyor to report upon. Lette:s were read from Mr. W. Bell and Mr Thomas Baines applying for the appointment mado vacant by the death of Mr. Wainwright. The CHAIRMAN men - tioned the fact that the Council had resolved not to continue their contribution to this office. The different commercial associations had not yet consi dered the question, but he presumed ihey would do so. The members for the borengh also might desire to have the office continued. There could be no doubt that it was a very great assistance to the members in conducting their business. It was not very easy for them always to receive deputations in their own houses, and the office was very convenient for that purpose, A. great deal of routine business was also transacted there. Whether the Dock Committee would think it right to contribute, would be a question for their consideration. The subject was referred to the Finance Committee. In consequence of the resolution passed at the Town Council cn Wednesday, in reference to the proposed fort at Liscard, the following gentlemen were appointed as a deputation to confer with the Finance Committee on the subject, at eleven o'clock on Saturday morning : The Chairman, Messrs. Bold, Moudell, and Barber. Mr. MOND ..LL remarke3 that he condemned every site tor a fort nn the river. He c,-)n,•idprrri th.t forts there were humbugs—that t very f prt they built there would be blind to be a blister on the back of coaimerce, and every moldier and marine they brought there a positive nuisance. (Hear, hear, and laughter ) A letter from Mr. James Appleton, cb'rk in the solicitor's office, applying for an increase of salary, was referred to the Finance Committee. This concluded the general business. Ezclasively for CLOTIIIN3 BOYS fr.,in Six to Twenty Years LEWIS & COMPANY, Rameligh-street. The Milan and V, n:ce railway was inaugur ted on the 12th. A. Essen Law Flour IN GEORGIA.—A very b'oody fight has occurred at Ho - eygall, a serail settlement in Ge , rgia. A blnd of thrives having for some time cotn mitt id dearedatiors on the preperties of farmers, it was determined by the "Regulators" (L 7 n ih-lawyers) to rid the couu . try of them. Accordingly they were ordered to he off. vyt.h a promise that if tl - ea wen' quietly they ahould be paid their tray lling exp , ns-s and receive compensation for v,h it litt'e properly they I,ft behind. Among these persors thes notified there was a man named Mr sesHornsby and his family—aire, one grown sun (Mike), and three small children. bloats thought of the matter. and con cluded n)t to go ; but still led the " Regulators" to believe that be wculd go willing'y. Failing to falfil his egreemert by the specified time, fatireen mounted " Regulators," only two of whom were unarnard. app tiori one morning at Hornsby's c'oor ; and a Dr. Foreman advarced to parley. At this moment a shot was fi ed from the house, through a sort of rude and inartistic porthole, at Foreman, missing his knee a few inches and strikina hs horse dead beneath him. Another shot in quick successi TI discharged a full load of buckshot into the left breast of Rumpt, a " Regulator," who, on being shot, whei bis horse round, and, crying out to his c rnraclas to scatter, galloped , ff a short distance and fell d ad. The firirg continued rapidly and with terrible fatality from the h use far some seconds, perhaps minutes. The party sc wered as quickly as p issible, bat left four of their number upon the field, two named Radcliff—an old gentl•man aria his son, the son mortally and the old gentleman dangerously, if not mort lly, wounded ; May, a son-ir-law to Radcliff, daagerously weunde 1; and Foreman, with his ankle frac tured by the falling of his horse. Three horses were also shot down and killed. In the midst of this firing yeueg Rarleiff, satisfied that his wound was fatal, determined to have some little revenge, and, crawling to a stump, rested his gun upon it, and fired throagh the porthole, emptying the contents of oee barrel in the face and breast of old Hornsby, killing him. Casting his eye to another part of the fortress he perceived a human figure, at which he fired the contents of the other barrel. This shot, it seem', took effect in the left side of Hornsby's wife and in the legs and hips of her infant, which she held in her arm.. Ste was killed instantly ; the child may possibly recover. About the time these two shots were fired, Mike Hornsby ap leered in the pizza and fired one barrel, and drew up to discharge the seco.id, when a " Regulator," named Merger', who at this moment stood alone upon the field, defending the wounded, seized the gun of a fallen comrade, and cautioned Mike if he fired the second barrel he (Morgan.) would certainly retain the fire. Mike heeded not the warning, but fired and turned to run, probably, when Morgan, ti ue to his w ad, blazed away, and dro: tied Mike with a mortal wound.—Correspondent of Bugtfield Aelrorliser. A PANIC IN A CHAPEL.—Oa Sunday evening last, while the eonareg ttioa as embed at the Pontefract Independent Ch - pel were listan'ng to the discou . se of the officioing minister, the Rev. Jimes Innes, an alarm was raised that the building was on fire. A tremendous rush was made to the ea rs, and the per pie tumbled over each o her in terrible confusion, but fortun i &y no one sustained my seri )113 injury, and in a short time the service was resumed. Ir ap?ears that an escape of gas from one of the pipes had been obseeved, and a light applied to it ; the acme was rot properly eating ished, and igeitad some woodwork. Very little damage was done t o the building. FAT L ACCIDENT AT WHITBY.—An accident, which was fatal to one man and the cause of serious injuriesto another, occurred on Toes lay afternoon at a place about a mile southward of Whitby, where the corporation of the Trinity House are building two lighthouses. One of these has reached the height of thirl feet. A stone, weighing ready two tons, had been raised by means of shears, and the workmen were lowering it to its pl ce, when, fro the falling of one of the guys , the shears lost their positton. The stone fell to the grouted, bringing with it the scaffold. ing and two men. One of these, Mr. Cezey, clerk to the works, died two hours after the accident, The owners and occupiers of houses at the north end of Newlie-terra e, Breck-road, complained ofirijary to health by offensive effluvia from foul water, in the site of an old quarry at the back-of the terrace. Tee Medical Officer of Health inspected the place, and was of opinion that the complaint was well founded, and that the owner should be required to remedy the nuisance. A d eputation of gentle men also waited on the committee to complain of the nuisance, and it was ordered that the landlord should be called upon to remedy it. The Borough Engineer, Building Surveyor, and In spector of Nuisances, reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the past week ; from which it appeared that 112 nu'sances complained of by inhabitants, hal been inspected, and means taken `o remedy them ; 873 houses in the un healthiest districts, containing 3,021 apartments, and 433 cellars, had been put under exa nination, with the view of improving their sanitary condition Mr. FRESH stated that he had been directed by Mr. M'Gowan to aff;rd certain returns of local proceedings before the magistrates, required by the Watch Committee, for the information of Government, and which had been complied with, so far as the operations cf the Health Committee for the borough, through its nuisance office, were embraced therein ; but as that committee exercise their sanitary condition under local acts, &c , and as the said required returns did not appear to comprehend the full results of their operations, the following explanations were added as an appendix in a tabular form ; but before giving them to the committee in detail, the inspec or remarks i that any return made of their proceedings before the magistrates, would give a very imperfect notion of what they have really not only done, but are daily doing, to promote the improvement of the health and comfort of the lower classes of the inhabitants of the borough of Liverpool, and which the folio wing figures would exemplify ; tied it should be fairly state I, it has always been the object of the Health Committee to carry out their sanitary reformations in a reasonably mild rather than in a directly summary way ; or, in other words, to invariably give notices to every party offending, before summoning that party before the magistrates ; and the following returns would, it is hoped, show that this system has worked satisfactorily. Particulars were required in the returns from the 29th September, 1856, to the 29th September, 1857, and they were snt,mitted under the following heads :- Ist : CELLARS.— Dnrirg this time 32,372 cel'ar visitations were periodically made by sanitary officers, in unhealthy streets in the Borough Of these, 10 341 cellars were found empty. 20 04S were found occupied without beds in them, 1,281 were found with beds in them, and 702 of them were claimed as conformable to the provisions of the local sanitary acts. 'These items give the aggregate. In these cases 1,656 notices were served, and on re-examina tion it was found that 1,407 parties had complied with the notices, and it was only deemed necessary to take 249 of the eefaulters before the justices for their adjudication. 2nd: NUISANCES GRIM A.LLY EFFEC rued HE %JAIL —During the said year, 7,952 notices were given on complaints of inhabitants to abate ev is of this kind, and they were so far effectual, that it was only found necessary, on re inspection, to take 65 of these cases before the magistrates 3rd : STREET AND COURT HOUSES IN UM:MALTUT Dm- TRICTS.—In the said year 38,614 visitations were made in order to test their sanitary condition. They were found to contain 210 310 apartmdnts. Of these, in 7 230 cases, it was found necessary to give notices to cleanse and purify the same, and which so far served their parpoto, that on Ae-in,peotion it was only found necessary to lay sixty seven informations before the magistrates against defaulters in this respect. . . 4th : - SmoKB NUISANCX9 674 notices to abate were given, and which the committee only found it necessary to follow up by preferring forty-nine informations. s:h : mtDD. se AND CESSPOOLS —42,190 of these places were emptied by the contractors under the Health Com mittee, under notices issued by them, but it was not found necessary to p-efer informations in default during the above named period. 6th : LODGING Houses.—ln this supervision, the police and sanitary officers act in concert. In the night time the police take the inspections, and the sanitary officers do it in the day time. The police in this r spect sill no doubt make their own returns, but the nuisance officers have made 4544 inspections, and issued 132 it formations during the before-named given period. The health officers have also examined 292 marine stores, and made 1,065 exam inations of grave yards and cemeteries. From these returns, it will be perceived that out of 17,612 notices (excepting altogether middens and cesspools) which have been issued from the nuisance office, it has only b en f mind necessary to prefe- 562 informations against defaulters and which conclusively shows the effects of the working o' this system Vouchers exist to prove the correctness of these details. These re'urns did not include many important operations going on under the control of the Borough Eogiueer, a statement from whom will be shortly aff)rded. This concluded the business, At LEWIS & ONI?ANY'S, Ranelagh-qtreot, BOYS are cLoruED from the Age of Six to rzen , y Ytari. FENERAL OF THE LATE E•EI.

TREATIES WITH 'IRE SlAMESE.—Letters from India at ate that on the 7th of July a treaty of commerce and friendship was signed at Bangkok between the U! ited States and the King of Siam. This treaty, which is in all respects similar to the treaties already concluded with France and England, was nlotiated by M.

LEWIs & COMPANT, sanplagti-atree TILE DISOWNED Osii.—John Pa rnee, a resident of Grenville street, charged his sister, Sarah Campbell, with having assaulted. him. Mr.. Black was for the prisoner, who was very well dressed It appeared that the corn. plainant works hr the Corporation, and on the 8 h August he was at his breakfast in Salisbury strew, where he was at work, when he was ssailed by the pr'sener, who fling his coffie over 11 7 s head, and " walloped" him on the skull with the pot, and cut him severely. A ham that was con venient, instead of being used legitimately, ie the frying pan or pot, was seized on by the prisoner, and with it sha beat hi.n about the head until she completely knocked him into a " doldrnm " He did not know what it was for, as he gave her no provocation. Mr. Black : This woman is your sister ? The complainant, fiercely : I disown her, sir. Mr. Black : Is she not your sister, sir? The witness, more fiercely than before : I disown her, sir. Mr. Bluck : Had you ever a father or mother at all? Witness : I don't know whither I had or net. Prisoner :We are brother and sister, by the same father and mother. Complainant : I never had a father, for he is in America for seven years ! In the course of cross-exa-t ination by Ms. Bluck, he elicited from the witness the fact that the prisoner went bail for the complainant to a chap," known as "a Scotch man," and that she had to pay the amount, and this caused the row, as she felt hurt because he would not give her anything, although he got the clothes, and wore them. Mr. Mansfield said he was of opinion that the prisoner must be held to bail. Mr. Bluck said she was married, and some difficulty might arise in that case. The com plainant said, oh, yes, she is married to a black man, and to a white men also. The prisoner was discharged on a promise to keep away from the complaint in future. BRIBING a WITNESS.—Jane Paine, who keeps a bad house, in Mason's--ow, was brought np on the following charge: -It appeared that a few nights since, a sailor, named Hugh M'Guinness, was robed in the house by a m n who lived with the pisoner, and that he was sent for trial, and is at present in jail awaiting the sessions. The prisoner watched M . Guinness, and made several a'tempts to get him out of the way, by offering him money, but he refused up to Wednesday, when ho agreed to go to Dundalk, and she went with him to the boat and paid his fare, and as the boat was leaving she gave him 253., but when rounding the pier -head, he jumped out and went to the pollee, and informed them of what had taken place and then the prisoner was arrested. These facts being proved, the woman was sent for trial. EtTE %LING MEXICAN FIBRE —Detective-officer Sullivan brought up John Connor, a brush maker, living in Christian-street, and John Lowe, Thomas Gaskill, and Frank Jones,the three latter charged with steeling a quan tity of material called "Mexican fibre," and Connor for receiving it, knowing it to have been stolen. From the evidence of several persons who were examined, it appeared that Messrs Leech, Harrissn, and Forwood, are tae only impor:ers of the ardcle in question, and that the three last named prisoners were engaged in ca'ting it, and elitist so engaged, they stole lcwt. 2qrs. and 231bs. of it, Tallied at Gd. per pound, and sold it to Conn :r for £1 9s. It is used in the manufacture of brushes. These fecal being clesr:y established the prisoners were sent for trial. Excuestors TICKETS William Ceenick, a horse-shosr, and John Deronson, a sail); were charged with attempting to defraud the London and North-Western Railway, by trasellitg from Manchester to Liverpool on excursion tickets that were returnable the previous day. The fact was not disputed by the prisoners, but tht y said they had purchased the tickets to return on any day up to Saturday, and the Company's officers at Manches er passed the tickets as a 1 right. The prisoners complained of the harsh treat ment they suffiored, in being locked up all night, and they also complained of the way these excursion trains were managed. Mr. Clough said there was a universal complaint about the excursion trains, and some people went as far as calling them public swindles, and no doubt the prisoners were either mistaken or deceived. Mr. Mansfield thought there ought to be something on the back of the tickets so that there could be no mistake about them. This case he should treat as a common debt, and discharge the prisoners. DISIIGNE4T Sleeve:yrs.- John Shore, David Jones, James Titherington, and Wiliam Taylor, were b ought up by Messrs. Allen and Lindsay, two of Mr. Bate's (late police inspector) men, accompanied by Inspector Hough, charges with hsairg stolen a considerable quantity of property belonging to Messrs. Southerland and Coubrough, ship store dealers, &c. of Preest n's Row. The prisoners, with the exception of Taylor, were employed in the house named, sled confidence was placed in them. However they violated that confidence, and it seemed they were in the habit of taking away quantities of pickles, beef, sauces, oil, spirits, and other things, when leaving the stores in she evening. They were watched by Bate's men, and on Wednesday evening, they took out a quantity of property, such as above named, and went to Park-lane, where they endeavoured to dispose of it They were arrested with the property in their possession. They were !telly com mitted for trial. FORG'D CERTIFICATE.—John Roberts, a publican, was brought bp on remand, charged with having produced three forged certifi rates, in order to pass an examination before the Marine board, as master or mate of a ship. The details of this case rppeared a day or two since. Mr. Bluth, fur the prisoner, said he pleaded guilty. He was ignorant of the law, and gave £2 10s. for the certificates, to a schoolmaster, who advised him to the course he bad unfortunately adopted. Mr. Tyndall, for the Board of Trade, said he would not press for the extreme penalty of £lOO. The prisoner was tined £5 and £4 10s. costs, or to be imprisoned for two months.

ASS kULTING TILE POL•CE. —Mr William Br milaw and Mr. Thomas Stanton, t wo gentlemen, residing in Claughton, were summoned for having assaulted Thomas Clarke, one of the Clanghton pica, whilst in the dae execution of his duty. There was a'so a summons against James Kelly, driver of cab No. 27, for furious driving, in taking Bromilaw and his mother and sister home ; from which it will be seen by the evidence the assault arose. Clarke: the complainant, stated, that at half past 11 o'clock on the night of Monday last; he was on duty in the Shrews bury road, Claughton, when he heard a car or some other conveyance being driven at a most furious rate, and watching, he saw it pass the end of the road in which he wag. Thereupon, he made the best of his way in the direction he supposed it had gone, and ultimately came up with it at the door of the Claughton Hotel, when he went in, and saw the driver at the bar. He a- ked him his name, that he might summons him, which the driver gave him. He then left the hotel, and on his way down the village, he saw the two defen dants, Bromilaw and Stanton, on the parapet. Upon his getting up to them, Mr Bromilaw asked why he had taken the car driver's name, to which he replied, "That's my business " Mr. Bromilaw then called him some names, when he (Clarke) said he would summon him for obstruct ing him in the due disckaige of his duty. Mr. Bromilaw then struck him under the left eye with the handle of a stick or whip he had in his hand which knacted him down, and, while down, Mr. B fell on him with his knees on his chest, and got his hard inside of his stock round his neck. Stanton then called our, " Hive you got him fast? squeeze him fast," and then he (Clarke) was kicked by some one until he became insensible Mr Bretherton, who appeared for all the defendants', cross-examined Clarke as to his sobriety at the time the occurrence took place, to which he replied that he was perfectly sober, though he had drunk some ale that evening. Mr. Thomas Davies, the township constable, and who lives next door to Mr Bromilaw, was then called, and said that he was alarmed by a noise and knocking at his door, and upon locking out he saw the defendants holding Clarke on the ground. They said they wished to give him in charge of him (Davies) for being detark and disorderly. He (Davies) then asked them all to walk into his house ; the defendants did so, but Clarke refused. Ilia impression w as that Clarke was in drill, as, when he first got out, Clarke was w residingusiu using very c ab ia u u s i i s v h e to l n anguage. Mr. Hight on , a, said Clarke had b een one of the township policemen for six yea rs , an d h e h a d s g e e a n ri ti n e g m and an alwas found Wm a very sober man. Mr. Bretherton then addressed VW bedch for thg defendante, and said he had A FARM BAILIFF GORED BY A FULL —Mr. Coroner Whisten held an invest t.t Bernastoa, near Derby, on Monday last, over the body of Mr. John Sanders, farm bailiff to the Rev. W. Leeks, whose death took place on Satu day, by a bull which he was showing turning savagely round and goring h'm in the upper part of the left Udell, R a wound six or seven inches long, and about half an inch deep. From the evidence it appeared that the immedate cause of death was disease of the heart, the accident having no doubt hei,,,h'ened the inducement to a sudden seizure of this kind. The jury returned a verdict in ignorance with the evidet c COLLIERY E xeLostoet THROUGH Gatos; CARELE'SNES , .— An inquest was held on Wednesday afternoon, at the house of Mr. George Rhodes. the Church Inn, Dokinfield, on the body of Robert Whitehead, coal miner, Oxford-read, Dukinffeld, aged 52 years. The deceased was much burnt about the face and different parts of his body a fortnight ago, by an explosion, which occurred whilst, he wt's at w 4rk at the Dor Colliery, Newton, from which he died on Saturday morning. James Per, one of the firemen, stated that he had examined the workings that morning, and that he found all right and free from gas, except that a sheet which rtgelatel the current of air was down. He had met the deceased, and told lam about the sheet, cautioning Lim not to go through with his candle. The deceesei had, nevertheless, gone without his lamp, and an extdosioe was the conseqee It appeared, n the inqui , y, that Parr ought, according to the rules, to have stopped the deceased, and that he had not properly examined the workings ; and the jury, on returning a verdict of " Accidental death," directed the coroner to replimand him. The coroner did se, reminding him that be was liable to punishment, arid th it he had narrowly «se Ted being committed fur man slaughter ; and also informirg him that he would be proceeded against for his gross carelessness. The deeeased was a sober man, b t* vary careless, and though he had been buret twice before, he so acted in this instauca as to have been clii;ed to admit that hie careless conduct had -been the cause of the explosion. Mr. Dickinson, inspector of mines, zho attended on behalf of Mr. Wynne, cce,fined cot:sal-eerie:: of an accident, pointed out that there was still gas in the mine, an I directed its removal. He also complained of the iecomp'ereness of the ;twice given to the Secretary of Sta'e as not fatly indicating the loca'ities of the mine, sad that the notice had not been given of the accident until the death took place, and said that it would be for Mr. Wynne to determine whether proceedings for the penalty should not be taken in consepeace of that nothing had been done. Mr. Andrews answered that the act did not specify the time as to notice except in case of death, and that from the sergen's s'atiunent to him ha con idered the deceased wes not dangerous!y burnt, and he undertook to summon the 'fireman and to attend to M. Dickinson's seegetions in future. ONN MINUTE TO) LATE FOR THE TRAIN, AND IT3 CONSEQUENCES.—One day in the early part of last week M. Soycr having to meet some friends at Windsor, his presence on the occasion being indispensable, arrived at the railway steam one minute too late for the train. Rs turning home he hired a horse from a livery stable. M. Soyer had no sooner mounted his steed, thsn away he flew with the velocity of lightning: After traversing the High street and road of Kensington a mile and a half in the presence of hundre's of spectators, some imprudent persons endeavoured to stay the speed of the animal by raising their hand, which only made him mete fiery ; he then plunged on the pavit;-st tnes, throwing his rider, and dragging him several cards by the stirrup. At last M. Soyer disengaged himself, although much bruised and shaken, and his coat tore into ribt.onF. He wes picked up insensible, and kindly assisted to a surgeon's by Captain Godbold, who happened to be passing at the time. This accident is the more remarkable, inasmuch as DE Soyer fur the last few years has been, with few exceptions, in the habit of riding from morning till night, and without once before meeting with thealightest accident. We are happy, however, to learn that M. Soyer, although confined to his bed through the severe injufies he received, is now rapidly recovering.. ~ass NON-LIABILITY OF RAILWAY COMPANIES.—A butcher named Blackburn, brought an action against the Lane I. shire and To,kshire Railway Comp my, in the Wakefield County Court, on Tuesday,. for the Tee very of the sum of £l6 151 Id., Vie value of a cow killed on the railway. On the 12th of lest June, the plaintiff b)ught the cow fer the sum name!, and placed it in a fi ld belonging to a person named Russell. This field is three fields distant from the railway on the eght-hand side of the road leading to Heath Common from Wakefield, and is approached by an occupalen road, made by the reilway company. The plaintiff went to the field between six and 'seven o'clock, when the cow was safe, and the gate of the field was fest. At eleven o'clock the same night he heard his cow had been Jellied on the railway, and the next he saw of it wrs its mutilated carcase being s'onveyed to the slanghter-house by one of the railway porters to be " dress-el.!' The plain iff 'now maintained that. his cow could not have gut on to the road if the hedge in the field neat the road had been high enorgh to prevent the animal getting •over, it being the duty of the company to keep the hedge in repair. His Honour, however, called attention to the fact that the cow had made her way out of two fields before it got into the one nit the road ; that, in reality, the cow was trespassing on the line, and might have caused serious damage, if not loss of life; that,. therefore, it was the railway company who were aggrieved;: and that, if the plaintiff wa• entitled to compensation at all, he must look to Mr. Russell for it, the owner of the tilt! in which he placed his cow, and not to the raifway company.—Verdict for defendants, with costs. —The solicitor of the company then handed over to the plaintiff £4, the price for which the cara_se of the cow had been sold. PUBLIC AKUSZMENTS I S AMEMCA.—The tightness in the money-market do s not affect the spirits of cur ;eople sa far as to keep them away from places of amusement Perhaps they may feel the need, all the more, of some thing to keep their spirits up after the anxieties and tri bulations of the day. A',l our theatres seem to be in full blast, and the Opera singers discount notes to crowds of eeger cus'omers. The amount of money expended nightly upon amusements in this city is much greater than is generally im gine& Take the following statement as a 'ough, and certainly net an exaggerated, estimate of the amounts- rectived upon any one right at the various thratres,, &c.: —Academy of Music, 2„000 doh. ; Garden, 1,000 dole. ; Lsara Keene's Theatre, 800 dols.; Broadway Theatre, 1,300 dols.; Wallack's Theatre, 800. dolts. ; Burton's Theatre, 900 dole, ; Bowery Theatre, 600 dole.; National Theatre, 400 doh.; Barnum's seurn, 500 dols.; Bryant's Minstrels, 250 dols. ; Franklin Museum, 400 dots.; Olympic Theatre, 400 dols ; Christy's Minstrels, 600 dole.; Dusseldorf Gallery, 100 (Iola.; Anatomical Museum, 100 dole. ; making a total of 10,050 dole. Here is a total of over 10,000 dole. expended every night in this city alone, merely for amusements. And yet it may nut be itasted. It is impossible that men should go through the wear and tear of business day after Jay and week alter week, as many do in this city, without recreation and relaxation of some sort. It is, indeed, ono of the first necessaries of life to the thousands and tens of thousands of our working men. Those who work with tae brain need it most, but those who labour with their hands need it also, and ought to have the means and opportunities for it much snore abundantly than:they have at ptesont. It is for the lack of it that so many day-labourers resort to the rum shop, to find in the lights and bilati'y, as well as in the dri' kof the place, some stimulus to the exbaus'ed body and flagging spiri s. The cause of morality would be gra atly benefited by any one who would devise a system of c'leap, popular,. attractive, and innocent amusements for the poor. But probably two- lairds of the money pail for amusements in 'he ci'y comes from strangers. It is curious to stand at the entrance of any of our theatres or concert saloons, and observe how few among the faces of those entering can be recogt ised as beer ging to the city. There are always at least twenty or thirty thousand strangers in the city, and the great mass of them pay at least one visit to these places of eatertaiment during their stay.—New York Times, Yesterday, Mr. John Harrison Wickham, the proprietor of the American Hotel, in Lime-street, was again sum moned before the Board of magistrates, consisting of Messrs. Shell, Holme, and Xffery, for having on the 14th of September lest, knowingly and wilfuly permitted drunk enness in his house. This case, it %N iII be terollected, came bef re the board on a previous day, but was, by the request of the defendant, postponed until the n xt licensing day, which was held yesterday, The case for the defendant was conducted by Mr M‘Donald, barrister, instructed by Mr. Gray. The fi st witness clied, was Police Constable, No. 301, (John Stockdale), why stated—On the night of the 14th ult., at a quarter before tweive o'clock, I Went into the defendant's house ; I there found six prostitutes, two cif wleom were fighting, end using violent and abusive language, and also six n:en. Mrs. Wickham was attending to the bar. I asked her to pies them in cha , !ge, when she replied, "I want to have try house cleared of the people; they did not get drunk here ; and if you don't clear the house 1 will report you." Mr. Holm : Was there any drink I Witness : I did not see any drink on the counter, nor yet any glasses about. By Mr. M'Donald: I was on duty the opposite side of the street, but when I heard the noise I was in the middle of the stre t. The doors of the hotel are constantly open. I did not see ary drink. I did not see Mrs. Wickham and her son trying to turn the people out. Mrs. Wickham told us to clear the house. I did not clear the house, nor did I put oat the two girls who were fighting, because they became quie', and I left. Pr lice Coneable 291 fully corroborated the evidence of the previous Constable. Mr. M 4 D maid then briefly addressed the Bench, con tending that there was not the Slightest evidence that the defendant had permitted drunkenness or disorderly con due', according to the evidence of the policemen. There fore • ore would on'y be trifling with the time of the Court, 'f he w s to attempt to answer a charge that was not made out. All he would say was, that Mr. Wickham had given £3,000 for the property, and having been twice before summoned by the police for a similar offence, it was scerely likely that he would risk that property for the pal'ry profit of a glass or two of ale. The Bench having consulted for some time, Mr. Holme said—We have given this case a deal of consideration, and, on the whole, we think that the evidence is weak in support of the charge. It is, however, quire true that the men and the women were there at a quarter before twelve, but there is no evidence to show that drink was supplied to them in the house. It is a'so true that this defendant has been twice convic'el before, but with that we have nothing to do at present, and we merely decide this case on its own me, its ; and as there is no evidence to show that drink was supplied, and as the officers did not see any glasses about, we think we are justified in giving the defendant the benefit of the doubt ; but I am desired by my brother magistrates to vy, hitit is their belief that this house is cot properly conducted, and, as it is in a neighbourhood that gives great annoyance to the police and also to the public, unless he does conduct the house properly, his license will be taken away. It is desirable that all houses should be conducted pro;)erly ; but in this case we dismiss the comelrint against the defendant. Mr. WLkham : I say the house is properly conriueted. I have a family of my oven, and a son as ler'g as myself, and I do say it is moat respectably con!ucfed ; but I have made up my mind to cell it as soon as possible. The following letter was handed in, but was not reed : L'ir,-1 wish the magistrates to understand that, although I have b-en fined twice, I have nev r done anything against the tenor of my license. When Mr. Holm?. transfered the license to me, 1 promised I would not bet. I have kept my word most sn'ermily. I dln't think I have an enemy in the world except Wilson, and this man the policeman) ; and unless I have the protection of the magistrates, I shall bo compelled to sell my property, much against my will, for my health will not stand this fearful anxiel.-1 remain, &c., H.

Yesterday the Coroner held the following inquests : On the body of Jane Blose aged 39, who resided at 20, Maguire street, with her brother William, a butcher. The evidence of James Blose, a c,nfec tioner, re iding at 5, Prince of Wales-bninings, Dean-street, went to show that the deceased was never married, and that she was insane for the last twenty years, hut for the last twelve years she was much worse and was subject to fits. She had resided with his brother for some years past. On Tuesday morning, the brother (William) of the deceased called at the residence of witness,in his absence, and left the key of the house with the wife of witness, saying the deceased was dead. The witness then went to the place and found the woman dead in bed. lie found her a perfect skeleton ; she had had fits for many years, and was gradually wearing away. The wife of the last witness was examined, and proved that the brother of her husband called and left the key as described, and on going away he said the deceased was dead in the house. Mr. George Kemp, surgeon, said : I have made a post ntortent examin ation of the body and find the cause Lf death to have been from starvation. The jury found a verdict accordingly. On the body of John Doran, a labourer, 48 years of age, who was employed about the warehouses of Messrs. Kerr, Walsh and Co., and who was taken to the Northern Hospital, on Tuesday, in a fit, where he subsequently died. .

BOYa'CLOTHING MADE WITH GREAT TAS IT AT LEWIS and, COMPANY'S, Ranelagh-street. COUNTY COURT.-YESTMAY. BEFORZ 3. IL BLAIR, ESQ,4, JIIDON. I "• MADAMS V. SA.IIN-DERS.—This was an action brought by Mr. E. W. Madams, owner cf the ship Enterprise, to recover the sum of £3O demurrage from Mr. Cha rles Saunders, as charterer of the vessel, for detention of her in Queenstown.. Mr. Forshaw appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Simpson for the defence. The facts of the case were admitted , on both sides, and the question submitted to his Honour involved two points, quite novel, and of ctonsi derable importance in a commercial point of view. On the 20th of September a charter was effected, according to which the ship Enterprise was to make a voyage from Liverpool to Pernambuco, or some other place in the Brazils, and from thence to any safe port in the United Kindgom, or on the Continent, between Havre and Ham burgh, and calling for orders at Queenstown or Falmouth. The vessel was allowed thirty days to load., t undays ladingexcepted, at the port of lading ; and, in reference to the calling for orders, the charter contained the somewhat ambiguous clause that the orders were "to be given in reply, by return of post from London, of the.captain's letter of _arrival." The vessel was to bring home a cargo of coffee. She loaded at Pernambuco with extra. . ordinary despatch,, occupying only thirteen days of the thirty allowed. She returned home, calling at Queenstown for orders. The captain wrote a letter of arrival, addressed to " Charles Saunders, Esq., London." Mr. Saunders did not reside in London, but in Liverpool He had had a business connection with Mr. Calmant, of London, but although the parties still acted as mutual agents, any partnership connection had ceased, and, as it was stated, within the knowledge of the captain. The captain, however, supposed, that in addressing his letters to London, he was complying with the terms of the charter, as already mentioned. Hearing from another quarter that the letter addressed to London was not likely to reach Mr. Saunders, he subsequently addressed a letter to Liverpool, and received a reply from Mr. Saunders, ordering him to bring the vessel to Liverpool. The demurrage was claimed for the number of days thus lost. On the other hand, it was contended that the defendant was entitled to set off against the delay the fact that he had only occupied thirteen days out of the thirty which were allowed for loading, and also that the delay had arisen in consequence of the error made in addressing the latter of arrival to London. His Honour, having heard the facts explained, said he would take time to consider his judgment. At LEWIS Ac COMPANY'S, Romelagh-street.

The other members present were—Messrs. Chilton, Hubback, Smith. Rounthwaite, Anderson, ffalhead, Barber, Lockett, Moidell, Bold, Fielder, and Rmhbone. A letter from Mejers. Pete, Brassey, and Co., complain ing of want of dock and crane accommodation, at Birken head, was referred to the Harbour Masters' Committee. An acconnt from Mr. II C Beloe for £175, for making up the books in connection with the Birkenhead docks, was referred to the Pintoes Committee. The tender of Messrs Haigh ani Co., for the c'_+nstruc tion of offices and an engine-rlom on the landing-stage, at the Prince's-pier, was accepted. A plan was laid befole the commirtee for the alteration of the Brunswick and Huslisson D :cks. The surveyor explained that it was proposed to make three docks of the Brunswick, lying east and west, where there was only one now, lying north and south. In regard to the HuAisson dock it was proposed to make one large dock, for the use of the steam trade, lyirg east and west. Mr. LocKErr suggestel that the report should lie upon the table for a fortnight, as he believed several of the mercantile asscciaticns desired to express an opinion upon the subject THE 'NORTHERN TIMES.--LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16. 1857, POLICE I NTELLIGENCE.—YEs rzitniT. evidence of Clarke's drunken state, and that he had actually struck Mr. Bromilaw with his staff before Mr. Bromilaw struck him. Mr. Bretherton then asked the bench if they thought there was sufficient evidence to con vict Mr. Stanton, because if they did not think so and discharged him, he shoutd put him in: o the box as a witness. The Bench having given it as thuir opinion that there was not sufficient evidence he was discharged, and upon being sworn, stated that he resided about a hundred yards from Mr. Bromilaw, and on the night in question be saw Clarke poking with his staff at Mr. Bromielaw's d which was within the garden wicket, and shortly after he saw Mr. B. omilaw come out at the door, and heard him say to Clarke in a wi d manner,—" Go home—you are tipsy, or I will report you." He (Mr. Stanton) had met Clarke before that evening and seeing the state he was in gave him the same advice. Clarke then said something about hitting Mr. Bromilaw over the nose, and immediately struck him upon the left shoulder with his staff, upon which Mr. Bromilaw knocked him down with his fist, and took the staff from him, and threw it away. He (Mr. S.) then went over to them, when Mr. Bromilaw asked him t) hold Clarke while he went for Davies, the township constable, to give him in charge. Upon Davies coming up, Clarke began kicking and swearing in a most violent manner; he then left him with Davies. Himself and Mr. Bromilaw were both sober, and neither had a stick or weapon of any sort. The bench havitig considered the evidence, said they dismissed the case, both for the furious driving and the assault. AGAIN. LIVERPOOL.
