THE SPRING ASSIZES. CROWN COURT.-YESTERDAY. BEFORE MR. JUSTICE WILLES. COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL—ACTION FOR DAMAGES.-- BRIDSON V. WARD.—This was an action brought by Henry John Ward, the owner of a yacht, for damages done to the said yacht by the steam tug Storm King, of whom Henry Bridson is the owner, such collision. having taken place in consequence of the negligence and mismanagement of the servants of the owner of the steam tug. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and issue was joined. Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and Mr. Lushington appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Monck, Q.C., and Mr. Henderson for the defendant. Mr. Atherton opened the case, from which it appeared that Mr. Ward was a gentleman carrying on business as a bleacher at Bolton, and that he was th e owner o f t h e Nim r a pleasure yacht of about 40 tons. The defendant was the owner of a considerable number of steam tun s plying on the Mersey, un d er th e titl e o f t h e Liverpool Steam Tug Company. In the month of September, the Nimrod, with a competent crew of a master and four men, was lying at anchor in the Sloyne, with two anchors out, one on either side, for the purpose of steadying her, and the Storm King was also at anchor, having one anchor out, a little further up the river. The steam tug Enterprise was also riding in a situation between the Storm King and Nimrod. There was a very high spring tide on that day, and early on the morn ing of the 7th the tide was running out very rapidly, and with great force. In consequence of the great strength of the receding tide, and the insufficiency of the Storm King's moorin g s, her single anchor was unabl e t o hold her; she drifted down upon the Enterprise ; the Enterprise also drifted down after the collision, and both vessels drifted down on the yacht ; the crew of the Nimrod were aroused by a cry of yacht ahoy," and on going on deck they found that the two steamers were bearing down directly on the yacht. The Storm King struck her on the starboard bow, while the Enterprise struck her on the larboard. The yacht remained in the gripe of these two vessels and drifted further down the river, until the steamers got up steam and got clear. The Nimrod sustained considerable damage, and on being surveyed it was found necessary to repair her. In order to have the repairs effected at a cheap rate she was taken to Beaumaris, where the work was executed. The crew of the Nimrod weee constantly engaged in assist ing the carpenter in the re p a i rs , an d i n t h e pla i nt i ff ' s claim the wages of the men had been charged for. The damage that the yacht had received had originally been estimated at between £7O and £BO, and the sum actnally charged by the plaintiff in his present claim was £B4 ls., the amount that it had actually cost him to repair her, but a considerable portion of the claim consisted of the wages of the crew of the Nimrod, during the time they were engaged in repairing her. A number of witnesses were examined on the part of the plaintiff, to show that the collision was caused by the negligence of those on board the Storm King. There was one anchor out, and little or no chain, this being quite inadequate to keep the steamer from drifting, in consequence of a high spring tide and the wind. Mr. Monck pressed Mr. Bridson to answer this question : Did not Mr. Ward say to you, " Well, I'm not to blame in this affair ; but, as we both belong to the Yacht Club, and I can repair the yacht much cheaper than you can, I'll repair her, and place her in testate of effi ciency?" Mr. Bridson would not swear whether this was said or not. It was contended, on the part of the defence, that the damage done to the Nimrod was the effects of a pure accident, and that no caution or vigilance on the part of the crew of the Storm King could have pre vented the accident. A number of witnesses were called or the defendant, one of whom said, that the damage really done to the Nimrod did not exceed £26. Mr. Henderson proceeded to address the jury for the defendant. He con tended that, if there had been a watch on board the Nim rod, the accident could have been avoided ; but, instead of this, there was no watch ; the Nimrod had been hailed by several boats, and never answered, until the tugs were nearly upon her. When they did get on deck, they took a boat out, and rowed the captain's wife on shore, and returned, leaving the vessel to take care of herself in their absence. There must have been gross negligence on the pact of the plaintiff's servants, and he called upon the jury to give a verdict for the defen dant. His Lordship proceeded o sum up. He proceeded to explain the evidence given on each side, and concluded by saying that, if the jury came to the decision that the damage was caused by any negligence on the port of defend- . ant's servants, they would next have to consider the amount of 'damages to be awarded. In the first part, Mr. Kerrigan, ship builder, Tranmere, who stated he had surveyed the vessel, and thought she might be repaired. . Then there was the evidence of • a ship builder on the part of the plaintiff that he would have repaired her. for £24. The next point to consider was the actual amount said to have been out of pocket by the plaintiff. Roberts, the master of the yacht, had paid £2l I4s. Bd. for repairs ; £39 10s. for wages of the crew during said repairs. Mr. Bridson had been out of pocket in travelling expenses ; loss by the sale of the yacht, &c., and a further suns which would inthe whole amount to £B4 Is., the amount sought to be recovered. The jury having considered for a few minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £63 ls. 4d. COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL—WARD V. M'TEAR. —The plaintiff, defendant in the late case, sought to recover damages for a collision between the Sea King and the Lion, on their passage from Rhyl to Liverpool. Mr. Aspinall prosecuted, and Mr. Wheeler appeared for the defence. In his opening statement it would appear that both steamers left Rhyl on the 10th of September, for Liverpool, the Lion being some six or seven minutes before the. Sea King ; the latter, being the larger and more powerful, overtook the Lion; when the Sea King came up to. the Lion, there was room enough to pass her, and without interfering with a number of fishing boats which were opposite Hoyloke. The Sea King ported her helm for the purpose of passing her, and the same time she found that the Lion starboarded her helm, the consequence being that the Sea King was run into, and had her bowsprit carried away, her cutwater damaged, and several other injuries inflicted. The defence relied upon was chiefly on the evidence of Captain Lewis, of the Lion, who stated that he left Rhyl on the 10th September, at ten minutes past twelve. In a short time she was followed by the Sea King. The Lion kept the lead inside the lake until coming abreast the Black Buoy, when the Sea King was to the northward, being then about 500 yards of the Ormshead. The Lion's engines were slowed, she going to the northward, and the Sea King to the southward, until they came close up to the Holyoake fishing boats. The Lion's helm was put hard a starboard. as they expected that the Sea King would put hard aport, but she came up and folloNved the Lion, not withstanding there was plenty of water for both, one to the westward and the other to the southward, and the Sea King ran into the Lion, carrying away the bowsprit, damaging her cutwater, and throwing the Lion on her -beam-ends. The tonnage of the Sea Kin; is 150 tons, and of the Lion 80 tons. There were 71 passengers on the Lion at time, and great alarm was created on board that steamer. The jury, having considered for about a minute, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages one shilling. SLANDER.— HODGSON V. JONES.-The plaintiff was Mr. Hodgson, a surgeon, residing at Egremont, and the defen dant, Mr. Jones, a chemist, in the same neighbourhood. The venue set forth that the defendant had viciously spoken of and slandered the plaintiff ; and the defendant said he was not guilty of slander, and, further, that the plaintiff was not a surgeon. Mr. Pickering and Mr. Millward appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Edward James, Q.C., for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff resides in Egremont, and practices as a surgeon there, which he has done for some time past. Some six years ago a sort of misunderstanding occurred between him and the defendant, he having complained that Jones did make up his prescriptions as he ought to have done, and that his drugs were spurious. Since then an ill-feeling has been between them, and recently the defendant uttered the slander complained of. Dr. Hodgson had been giving medical advice to a young gentleman named White. In mseqaence of White removing from the neighbourhood, the plaintiff discontinued giving him his advice. Soon after, the defendant and a Mr. Sutton were crossing in the ferry boat to Liverpool, when it was averred that Mr. Jones said to Sutton, ‘i Why he (Dr. Hodgson) nearly k illed White. If White had not come and consulted me, he weald have been a dead man from Hodgson's mal practice:, Of course this conversation was sure to ultimately come to the ears of the doctor, and when it did so, it was natural th it he should feel agrieved. He felt that his character was inj ured, and his prospects interfered with, if no t materially ` } -auriged ; hut, as his counsel said, he did all that a forbearing man could. lie wrote to the defendant, demanding an explanation, &C. The letter, which he un fortunately had not kept a copy .vas nearly, if not literally, in the following war 3, " Sir,—You had a con versation with Mr. P. Sutton, in the course of which you told him I had nearly killed John 'Whit This is a moit infernal slander, and if you do not retract e it, and make an ample apology, I will take legal p ro ceedirt it g io s ve f i o n jruthre with, in order to prove that you are not at liberty the character of any one with impunity. I will till to-morrow to consider your decision." Th e ; ft ' nswe y r o t u o this missive was short, pithy, and, if not satisfactory, certainly to the point. The envelope enclosing Dr. Hodgson's note was returned, with the words on it—" Sir, do your worst; I deli' you.—Signed, Henry Jones." Ther e was no other course for the plaintiff than to bring the present action to clear his character, yet it was not for the purpose of receiving heavy damages. If the defendant would come forward in an honourable manner and withdraw the slander, the the and make an lienoui . able apology, they would wi thdr aw action. This the defendant refused to do, and _car proceeded. Mr. James submitted to his Lords h tp that the commentution of Mr. Jones was quite a privileged one. Mr. Sutton had asked the opinion of MrJones with reference to the ability a nd e talent of Dr. Hod g so n , a n d q u o ted some law books on t h e subject. His Lordship instanced several cases where such eommentations had been. admitted as evidence, and he would therefore leave it to the jury to consider whether in their minds or not it was attended with malice fore thought. Mr. James then addressed the jury for the defendant. He contended that the commentation made by by Mr. Jones to Mr. Sutton was quite confidential and a privileged one. The two had met on the ferry-boat, and Sutton told Jones that Hodgson had asked him, when anything was the matter with him, to consult him (Hodgson). Jones said, "and do you intend to con sult Hodgson l'" Sutton returned answer, that he did not like Hodgson, he kept his patients so long under treatment, and requested Jones's opinion of the skill and ability of Hodgson. Hodgson, in a quiet manner, said : " Well, you know young Jones ; he has told me that Hodgson nearly killed him." - This was all that passed at the time. Mr. James then read a copy of the letter from Dr. Hodgson to Jones, in which there was not one word about apology. After a number of witnesses had been examined, and Mr. Justice Willes summed up, telling the jnry that they had first to consider whether the words had been uttered, and if so, had they been uttered in the way of advice and caution to Mr. Sutton, or had they been uttered with a malicious intent. As a point of law, if the words had been issued in a confidential way, and as advice and counsel, they were not a slander. The jury had merely to consider whether the words were uttered as a slander or as advice and counsel to the witness Sutton. His Lordship regretted exceedingly that Mr. Jones had not seen Dr Hodgson and explained the matter, instead of sending back his letter, with the pithy note :—" Sir,—Do your worst, I defy you." Verdict for the defendant. The court then rose. NISI PRIUS COURT—YESTERDAY. Mr. Justice Byles entered the court at nine o'clock this day, and proceeded with the special jury causes, that of Tyrer v. iTelellan being taken first, which will be found reported at full length on another page. After that had concluded, the following were taken :-- BROOKB AND ANOTHER, V. FORSHAW.—This was an action upon a promissory note. The plaintiff's were bank . ers, residing in Blackburn, and the amount claimed was the balance due upon a promissory note. Mr. Atherton, Q.C., appeared for the plaintiff's, and Mr. Segar, Q.C., for the defence. The jury found for the plaintiff's for the amount claimed. KERFERD V. MosmErm.—ln this case the plaintiff was a merchant, and the defendent a shipowner, both of Liver pool. The action was brought to recover the value of a quantity of sugar, amounting to £3,172 18s 6d, and of cochineal amounting to £2,679 lis 11d. Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Brett appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Atherton, Q.C., with Mr. Millward for the defence. The question in dispute, was whether the defendant was entitled to retain the goods, which were brought in a vessel belonging to him, until paid "dead freight " by the plaintiff,' under a charter-party, made by Mr. J. M. Carmichael, now a bankrupt, the plaintiff being the holder of the bills of lading. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, subject to a special case. Apprsox v. ALK.F.R.—This was an action brought by George Barnabas Addison, against the Rev. George Alkar, of Preston, to recover damages for a libel, in which the plaintiff was charged with being guilty of fornication, and unfit to be a clergyman in holy order, or a missionary of the Church of England. Mr. Monck, Q.C., stated the case for the plaintiff, from which it appeared that the defendant was a clergyman, holding a benefice, and a cure of souls in Preston, and the plaintiff was a yonng man, not 21 years of age, a student for holy orders, and intended for a missionary of the Church of England. The plaintiff was born of parents in the humblest condition of life, and at the age of eleven years became a worker in a factory in Preston. He had been there about two years when his father died. At that period the whole extent of his education was, that he knew his letters. His family were of the. Roman Catholic religion; but, even at that very age, some doubts as to that, religion seemed to have ettered his mind, and flndins , himself, in consequence, uncomfortable in his family, he left his mother's house,. and went to lodge with a Protestant family in. Preston. He . attended the ministrations and the Bible classes of the Rev. Mr. Alker, and was induced finally by his reasonings to embrace the Protestant religion. He had cultivated himself by study, and reading in the evenings, and in a very short time he was found delivering lectures upon the vexed questions of Catholic and Protestant religious differences, and he became a teacher in a Bible 'class. On his part, the learned counsel admitted the greatest kindness,_ on the part of Rev. Mr. Alker to him, at that time. During the strike at Preston, some years back, he was thrown out of employment,.and he received from Mr. Alker the utmost possible kindness and assistance during . that time. He expressed a wish to devote himself to missionary labours, and to obtain a situation in the Missionary College at Islington, London. Through the recommendation of the defendant the plaintiff was received into that college. Prior, however, to that event an ~intimacy had sprung up between him and a young woman, .‘hon - sel:eeper of Mr. Alker (who was a bachelor), named Dorothy Jennings. His Lordship interposed at this stage, and suggested that it was much to be regretted that such a case should be tried. Mr. Monck said he had made every effort to have it settled.. He suggested that the ques tion should now be referred to some gentleman or member of the profession, to which both the parties in the case were attached. Mr. Atherton, Q.C., who conducted the defence, said his client believed it would be best that the case should be tried in that court. Mr. Monek proceeded to state that for some time previous the plaintiff had made professions of love to the young woman, and paid close attentions to her. When, however, he went up to the missionery college, it was agreed between him and the yOung woman that everything of the kind should cease. In November be went up to London, and remained .in the college until December, when he came down to Preston during the vocation. On the Bth of January, before he deturned to the college, the plaintiff was accused by efendant of having written letters to Dorothy Jennings, while at the same time paying attention to another young woman. An explanation took place, which the plain tiff believed to be perfectly satisfactory ; but on the follow ing day he was surprised to receive a message from the Rev, Mr. !Alker, who, in the . presence of the young woman, charged bins with falsehood, with deceit, and with having deserted her. He was told that charges of the kind would be laid before the committee of the Missionary College. When he went back, he found that charges had been made against him, and in a few days after he was told that the committee had decided the case, without hearing him without calling on him for any defence, and even without any detailed announcement of the charges against him. They had decided upon expelling him from the institution. The ground of action was, that the letters written by Mr. Alker were the cause of his expulsion, and that in these letters the defendant had accused plaintiff of courting two or three young women at the same time, of cursing and swearing, of making false statements, of having criminal intercourse with a certain female, and with having , confessed to entertaining Antimonian doctrines. Under these circumstances the action was brought. The Rev. J. Green, Principal of the Church Missionary College, Islington, was called as a witness and produced two letters from the defendant addressed to him. The first stated that plaintiff had been paying his addresses to at least two females in Preston at one time, and had been engaged for marriage to two persons. The letter added -" He has aggravated his unprincipled and heartless conduct by the most unblushing falsehoods, and I regret to to say that, altogether, his Conduct and language hss been of so unseemly . a character . as to render his continuance in your institution an abuse of its designers." The second letter was written some days sub sequcntly, and contained several charges of duplicity and deceit against the Plaintiff, as regarded his engagement to 'Dorothy . Jennin g s and a Miss Emily Norwood, and in en deavouring to induce the brother of the latter young lady t o join him in the plan to obtain possession of certain letters written by him (plaintiff) to Dorothy Jennings. This letter enclosed a letter from plaintiff himself, addressed to this young lady's brother, in reference to the charges made against him, and admitting that he had committed one breach of the regulations of the college. The Rev. Mr. ' Green was examined, and deposed that the_ letters of Mr. Alker were not laid before, the committee, who dismissed plaintiff from the college. The chief ground•of his dismissal was his own admission that he had been guilty of a breach of the regulations. , That breach consisted in his having contracted an engagement with a young lady at a time When he had declared, in answer to one of the usual queries put to persons entering the college, that he had no such engagement. The plaintiff was not himself called before the committee. The . second letter from defendant to witness followed one hem witness reßiresting some further information as to the charges against the plaintiff. Witness is the•sproper person to whom charges against such a person ought to be made. The plaintiff was received into the college on the recommendation of Mr. Alker, among others. Rev. Mr. PoWer, a clergyman resiaing near Preston, deposed that the defendant read to him a copy of one of the letters addressed by him to the Rev. Mr. Green, and that on another occasion he told him the plaintiff he had been guilty of improper in tercourse with a certain young woman. Henry Riley deposed that he had been a - member of Mr. Alker 's class, and that on one occasion, in the month", of January, Mr. Alker told the class, that Addison (the plaintiff) was guilty of the o ff ences he had been charged with. He asked "Who brought Addison out of the Church of Rome ?" and the class answered, " You did." lie asked, "'Who got him in nt \C What e others college g. ? 1 . 1 - o s s4 tu n e i s i s d s o a t i h d e , others," W tness said, and the pupils said, " You did." one." Defendant asked, " Wh o Addisoncu , t ‘"RevD eliern d d o a w Pilo n tw ? 77 k a fe n od d ; there being no an swer to that question, he replied himielf, " I did;' Defendant further said that all he did with regard to Addison he had done conscientiously. The witness stated that these remarks arose out of a charge THE NORTHERN TIIVIES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6 1869 made by the defendant against himself of telling stories to the scholars regarding his (defendant's) conduct towards Addison. The Court then rose. TOXTETH BOARD OF HEALTH. Yesterday morning, the usual monthly meeting of this board was held in the public offices, Fark-road. Mr. H. S. Alpass presided. The other members 'Resent were— Messrs. Hughes, Walker, Woodhead, Sidaeley, Darsie, Smith, and Rogers. The minutes of the last monthly meeting were read and confirmed.. The minutes of the executive committee were read. The Chairman moved that they be confirmed. Mr. Siddeley seconded the propositton. The minutes stated that a 2s 8d rate was to be struck on all rateable property in the borough. The Chairman explained that this 2s 8d rate would answer all their purposes, and they would not require a highway rate as formerly. Mr. Darsie asked why the ratepayers should pay for the widenino. of Smithdown-lane, when they would not be the only parties that would be benefited by it. He was of opinion that the people of Liverpool should contribute. The Chairman thought that they would never have a better opportunity of making the improvements, as the ground offered by the guardians was free from buildings, and all that was to do was to construct the way. He hoped the opportunity Would not be lost. Mr. Darsie thought that the improvements should not be left to be completed by the ratepayers of the rural district of Toxteth-park. Mr. Rogers said, they had been working hard for the last two years to obtain land, and now that they could get it, and only at a trifling expense, it would be, in his opinion, a very desirable step to accept. The ratepayers of that board were the ratepayers to the guardians, and he would say that they should make the proposed improvements. Mr. Smith could not see why the 'people at the one end of the road should pay for the whole road. They could ask power to have the contributions of others. He had been told that, local self-government was a very expensive thing, and they were beginning to find it out. People might talk of generosity, but he did not think that they could afford to be generons just then He would say that they should write to the people who were to be benefitted by the improvements, and see if they were willin g to bear a portion of the expense. Mr. Darsie believed that there were not fifty of the rate payers of the borough that made use of Smit&lown-lane. Mr. Woodhead said if the board did not take up the matter, and carry out the improvements, it was only because others would not unite with them. But he thought it very desirable to have it made, and it was not very hard to make the matter known at the Town-hall. He knew it was pro posed to advance £l,OOO to carry out some improvements in Vauxhall road, and he thought some assistance should be rendered to them. ' Mr. Walker could not see why the people of a rural dis trict were called upon to make, at a large expense, a fine highway for the people of Liverpool. It was absurd to think that they should make Macadamised roads, and carry out other improvements for their convenience. They would be looked upon by the ratepayers as a very foolish set, if they laid a rate of 2s 8d in the pound to carry out such a project. • Mr. Darsie said that the proceedings of the committee, so far as the widening of Smithdown-lane was concerned, should not be confirmed. He would, therefore, move that Vie widening of Smithdown-lane be postponed until the sur veyor had made his report, and that the sum of £l3O for the widening of Smithdown-lane at the workhouse included in the estimate for the general district rate be struck out. He thought that the clerk should communicate with the Town Clerk to know if the Council would not co-operate with them in carrying out the improvement. Mr. Hughes objected to making any reference to the sum of £l3O mentioned in the record of the committees pro ceediN,os. It was very fine for them to be at the board, and make themselves great with other peoples money, but he hoped no such wedge would be put in. It was agreed that the clause should be struck out. Mr. Walker said in the statement of accounts which he held in his hand, there was an item for ZlOO due to Mr. Newlands, for his services to the board. Mr. Newlands had been away from them for three months, and according to the Act of Parliament they could only have his services for six months. He thought that £l5O would be sufficient. There was £5O additional for labourer's wages, which he conld not understand, and would have to be accounted for, £lO for something else, and £25 for office expenses. Mr. Darsie did not agree with what Mr. Walker had said. The other day he had seen a remark in one of the papers that they were dispensing with the services of Mr. Newlands, but he thought they were still to retain Mr. Newlands as consulting engineer to the board, and then they . could have his valuable advice at any 'time. it might bo thought necessary. He movPri that Mr. Newlands get £lOO for his services to the board. Mr. Rogers thought that with propeepanagement there would be a reduction on the rate next year. About £4OO had been spent in opposing railway companies last year. Mr. Hughes said, there was £l7B 18s. 6d. that he wished to know what had become of. As chairman of the ex ecutive committee, it was his duty to know where it was gone, and he thought it would he well to let the ratepayers know what was being done with their money. He moved that the accounts be returned back to the committee for explanation, as they were deficient in £l7B 18s Gd of money received during the present year, which had not. been accounted for. Then again, there was the rate collected from St. Nicholas' hamlet, for the purpose of sewerage, which had been applied to another purpose. This was the way all the great crimes had been committed with an honest intention of repaying in the first instance. He would mention that was the way all the great crimes were committed. A Member : Murder ? (Laughter.) Mr. Hughes continued to say, that the matter had never been before the board before, and he was right in bringing it forward. After some further observations he sat down, concluding by moving that the accounts be sent back to the committee. Mr. Smith explained that Mr. Hughes had got the bank book, and for some reason, known only to himself, he had commenced at the middle of the account to balance it, and that made all the difference in the world as regarded the result. Mr. Woodhead was of opinion that, as a charge had been made against some parties, the board should have a balance sheet laid before them every year. The Chairman said they got it. The remainder of the business was unimportant. AN IRISH ADVERTISEMENT.—A reward of 'LS iss-offered for the apprehension of Patrick O'Flaherty, who last week stole the jackass, which same had on a pair of corduroy breeches, with blue eyes, and smokes a short pipe ; much given to squinting, and likewise his shoes are down at heel. To SHIPPERS AND EXPORTERS.— A most profitable article of export, to warm climates especially, are the Self cleansing Charcoal Filters, patented by Messrs. Saunders and Co, of IG, Parker-street, Liverpool—in fact they _are invaluable wherever there is bad water. S. and Co.- allow a liberal discount on export and wholesale orders. WORSE THAN EVER.—A correspondent of the Homestead gives the following : —" It •won't do to laugh at Connecticut any longer for wooden nutmegs. New Hampshire has beat her, and must be the banner State for roguery. I see in the newspaper that the Legislature of that State has been obliged to repeal the law offering a bounty for the destruc tion of crows, in consequence of the practice which has prevailed of procuring crows' eggs and hatching them under hens, and bringing forward the brood for the bounty." A Cunious CONSIGNMENT. -- A correspondent of the Newcastle Chronicle writes :—"Not many days since, the Bishop of Durham had a number of foxes conveyed to his eitablishmeut at Bishop Auckland, from. Inverness-shire. They were in boxes, and after they arrived at the station one of them, not being satisfied with his confinement and travelling expedition, gave vent to his impatience by bark ing. The bark attracted the attention of the bystanders, and it took some management on the part of the railway officials to make the sly gentleman silent. ThiS singular consignment caused several very curious comments." A MAN'S BRAINS KNOCKED Our, AND YET HE STILL LIVES.—The .Eau Claire (Wis.) Telegraph narrates the following singular case of surgery. The case is that of braes Campbell, a labourer, in the employ of Mr. George C. Irvine, of Dunn County, whose brains were literally knocked out by the falling of a tree, some six weeks ago, and, strange to say, he. is not only still living, but has regained all n his faculties, and bids fair to recover his usual sound health. Dr. Crocker'. of Dunnville, the surgeon in attendance, thus de seribes the case :—"I found . the patient lying . in sensible, with a large hole broken into the left side of the skull just over the ear - both the left frontal and parietal bones shattered, and two pieces, one an inch and a half by two inches square, driven completely into the brain, and portions of the brain protruding. After remov- I ing the framments of the bone, I then removed three-fourths of wine-glass of brain, in conjunction with three pieces of the tree, which had also been driven quite into his head. From the first there was a .copious discharge of thin watery fluid from the ear, of course through the _Eustachian tube. I considered the case hopeless, as for several days after the first dressing the brain continued to ooze out, and Pieces as large as a walnut sloughed off before the wound be gan to cicatrize. The case presents also a remarkable men tal phenomenon Which.will interest phrenologists. The pa tient, before the accident, was never known to sing or whistle a tune in his life---but no sooner was he able to speak than he began to sing with perfect correctness, and now displays a taste for music amounting to a passion." New York Paper. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening. Only a very limited business has been done in the Liverpool Cotton Market to-day, the sales being 5,000 bales, of which nearly one half were taken on speculation and export. There has been no change in prices. The Liverpool Share Market has been very quiet, and prices have been less firm, and in many instances lower. The transactions were—Eastern Counties, 11 15-16 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 941,, 941 ; London and North-Western 1-shares, 10d ; Orand Trunk of Canada, 7 per cent Debentures 1867 cum interest, 69. There has been no change in the Manchester Goods Market to-day, but only a small amount of business was done in either goods or yarns. The letters by the Brazilian mail were delivered to-day. Our correspordent at Monte Video writes — Operations in Produce have been on a very limited scale during the month, and very little doing in the Saladeros. The total amount of animals slaughtered this month is cal culated at 10,000 to 12,000. There has been some little animation in salted ox and cow hides, and various con tracts have been made, prices to be arranged at the time of delivery. Tallow : Very little in stock, for which exhor bitant prices are asked, Wool prices remain firm, with the exception of unwashed wools, in which prices have some what declined. Hair is in demand, particularly "mestiza," superior clam. Freights in general are not so firm as at the date of our last, and masters are very unwilling to leave in ballast. The number of suitable first-class vessels disen gaged is very small, and if the killing during March is heavy, present rates will be maintained, but should it prove a dull month, a decline will very probably take place.

The London Stock Market was unfavourably affected this morning by the announcement of an intended dissolution of Parliament, but as the day advanced the cause operated less powerfully than might have been expected. At noon Consols were quoted at 95' to 951 and continued steady at that point until the final Close. The London Railway Share Market was affected by the same circumstances and in the same way as the Public Securities, and with a small business prices were lower, finally closing as follows : Ambergate, 6, 61; Caledonian, 811,. 82 ; Do. pref., 100, 102 ; Eastern Counties, 594, 601 ; East Lancashire, 92, 93 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 721, 73 • Great Northern, 1024, 1021 ; Ditto A, 85, 87 ; Ditto 8., 132, 133 ; Great Western, 584, 584 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire,. 934, 941 ; Brighton, 112, 113 ; North-Western, 94, 941 ; South-Western, 92, 921 ; Manch es t er , Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 371, 381 ; Midland 101, 1011 ; North British, 571, 58; Do. pref., 1081, 1091; North-Eastern Berwick, 911, 921 ; Leeds, 461, 47 ; York, 751, 761 ; North Stafford, 41, 41 ; South Eastern, 70, 701; Turkish Sixes, 924, 93 ; Do.

In addition, nine gold ships, the departure of which from Melbourne was announced by the last mail, are known to be still at sea, with an aggregate of about £879,000. The discount market was very active yesterday, a very large amount of bills falling due on the 4th. The payments appear to have been made with great punctuality. The applications at the bank were numerous, but not pressing. In other quarters money has " run off," but the best bills were still taken at the bank minimum_ The amount of gold taken from the bank yester day for exportation was £16,000, making a total of £lBB,OOO since the date of the last return. The £87,800 in Australian gold, by the Copenhagen, was also purchased for the Continent. The Funds to-day were very inactive, and a little heaviness prevailed. The disposition to caution is in creased by the unremitting armaments on the Continent, and by the evidences of disagreement already presented in the discussion of the preliminary conditions of the Congress.

The English Fund; have been further affected to-day by the extraordinary reports from France of the preparations at all points for some aggressive movement, as with the current month the season has arrived when any long pre meditated military plans would be likely to be actively commenced. The distrust would be far greater but for a fancy to which many people endeavour to cling, that all the present demonstrations are simply to intimidate Austria and pacify Piedmont. The heavy commercial payments due to-day passed off well, and money was in g ood supply. The Stock Exchange rate is again only to 2 per cent. Ad vices from Mexico to-day state that her Majesty's ship Alert was waiting to convey to Panama £600,000 in silver, which may be expected by the West India steamer due the middle of the present month. The steamer now due is expected to bring £115,000 in silver. The Russian loan has the prospect of being seriously damaged by the present proceedings of the Emperor Napoleon. The announcement of the Indian loan may be looked for early next week. Times City Article, Monday Evening. FOREIGN EXCHANGES. Amsterdam Ditto, Short . Antwerp 23 ... 124 ... 25 ... 15 Hamburgh..

AND " THE " BUTTERMAN ! ! (Air—" Villikins and his Dinah.") Oh ! 'tis of a famed merchant who in Liverpool does dwell, Who supply folks with Butter who want it to sell ; His name it is Kelly, you scarce need be told, Whose Butter is worth all your silver and gold. Singin' er- li—Butt But ter-li-day. As Kelly was weighing out Butter one day, In walks REFORM BRIGHT, and to him did say, Come leave youz shop Kelly, and with me away, And I'll find you a place with no work and licod pay. • Singue—Butter-li—Butter-h—Butter-li-day. Oh ! no, my brave BRIGHT, that wont suit my mind, " For to" cut my " old place" I do not feel inclined, So to you the good pay I will gladly make o'er, To serve England with Butter a year or two more. Singin'—Butter-h—Butter-li—Butter-li-day. That's a good noble Kelly—then. John Bright replied, You're a " Brick," my "old buck," and not to be bribed; So, in order your Butter to put to the test, Send me weekly, henceforward a ton of your best. Singin'—Butter-li—Butter-li—Butter-li-day. MORAL. Now all you who want butter, you know where to buy it, So never don't by no means be persuaded to " shy" it. And as all want full value for their "tin," and quite right, Think of Kelly the Butterman, and Reformer John Bright.

YANKEE BULL.—A physician in New York, who recently conducted the post nwrtem examination in a case of infanticide, reported that he was " unable to discover whether tie child was alive or not at the time of it s d ea th." That was probably the same doctor who advertised his having removed "from the place where he now resides." . POOR LITTLE FELLOW !—" But did I tell yon what a time I had with my . little Joe ?" " No, what was it ?" " Why, I was showing him the picture of the martyrs thrown to the lions, and was talking very solemnly to him, trying to make him feel what a terrible thing it was. ' Ma!' said he, all at once, Oh, ma! just look at that poor little lion, away behind there ; he won't get any !' " —New York Paper. SHERIDAN. —Sheridan once went to a hair-dresser's to order a wig. On being measured, the barber, who was a liberal soul, invited the orator to take some refreshment in an - inner room. Here he showed him so much genuine hospitality that Sheridan's heart was touched. When they rose from the table, and were separating, the latter, looking the barber full in the face, said : -" On reflection, I don't intend that you shall make my *wi g ." Astoniehed, and with a blank visage, the other exclaimed—" Gracious ! Mr. Sheridan, how can I have displeased you ?" "Why, look you," said Sheridan, " you are an honest fellow ; I repeat it, .you shan't make the wig, for I never intended to pay for it. I'll go to another less worthy son of the craft." TILE MATRIMONIAL SCRUPLES OF PIUS vii.—Three days pre% i nis to the coronation, the Pope, having ascertained that Napoleon had been only married to Josephine by the civil authorities, and that no religious sanction had subsequently ratified their union, formally required that they should be united before the altar, alleging that he could not otherwise conscientiously officiate at the forthcoming ceremony. His wish was complied with ; and the august couple received the nuptial benediction from Cardinal Fesch at midnight, in the chapel of the Tuileries, and in the presence of a limited number of witnesses, among whom were the Prince Eugene and Marshal Duroc. When the marriage of Marie Louise to the Emperor was first proposed, she caused an enquiry to be made of Josephine, whither shb had, or had not, been married at the altar; declaring that, in the former case, she would never consent to a union which she should regard as a sacrilege. 'To this question, Josephine replied by referring her to the Moniteur, thus evading the trntli, without betraying it, as she was well aware that Napoleon would never allow the official journal to publish the fact of so tardy a ceremony ; and to this circumstance must be attributed the assertion made by the Duke de Rovigo in his memoirs, that the first marriage of the Emperor had never received the sanction of the church. —Episodes at French History by Miss Pardee, sales were so very scanty we merely repeat former quotations.
