According to the Belgian papers, Queen Victoria is to be received by the Prince Regent, at Berlin, on the 4th proximo ; but the German liapers assert that the interview is to take place at. Coblentz on the 9th, previously to the departure of the Regent for Warsaw to meet the Emperors Joseph and- Alexander., Perhaps there are to be two meetings. Great preparations appear to be making in Spain for the voyage Of Queen Isabella ; and advice's* from Madrid' state that the Government upholsterers are busy furnishing the Palace of Seville for the reception of the ex-King of Naples, who was daily expected. _ . . The Emperor and Empress made - their entrance on Saturday into Marseilles, where, according to . the official papers, there are not less than 500,000 people assembled at this moment. . The enthusiasm is-described as "indescribable ;" and his Majesty `as to have a grand review at Cannobiere on the following day. The llloniteur gives the fulsonie address delivered by the Maire -of the city, as well as those of the chief magistrates of, several other towns through which their Majesties have passed. - The following is the concluding para graph of the oration of the Maireof Marseilles : Marseilles lovei you, sire, not only. for the material good which you . have done to her, but because more than any other town it has profited by the order which you have restored to the country, and from the glory to Which you have elevated, and are still able to sustain, Pranc, and which will always spontaneously respond - to your call ; because, Sire, its trust in you is boundless, and under your imperial sceptre it feels itself to be proud and powerful. According to the latest news from Syria, it appears to be decided that the French expedition shall proceed on to Damascus. But the uneasiness on the part, of the Mussulman population seems to suggest apprehensions, which it is devoutly to be hoped are not well founded, for the safety. of Jerusalem and Naplouse. Calcutta letters addressed to parties here, report great rejoicing in that city at the intelli gence that by the enterprise of. a French com pany, direct telegraphic communication has been established between Calcutta, Paris, and London. There surely must be some ground for blame in some quarter, if British enterprise has, as is here stated, been superseded by a French com pany ; the .Fr6nchtrade with India beinf a mere argatdie compared with that between Liverpool and India alone. Several detachments of engineers and artillery, from Arras, Rennes, and Versailles, are on their 'way to Toulon, to lie embarked from there for the reinforcement of French force in China. It is to be hoped most of the work will be finished before the arrival of this aid ; but the men and their skill may be useful in securing the results of the expected victories over the obstinate Celestials, with.whom and with whose country and institutions the French people are at present occupying them selves immensely. Scarcely a paper appears - without some reference to China, either in the shape of a letter from a soldier or merchant settled there, or from some scientific gentleman who has been sent out to inquire into the varied pro ductions of the country. I should not be at all Surprised to find, that the government seriously contemplates forming a settlement in some part of the to-be-conquered territory, as a rival and a set off -to our Hong• Kong ; and there is little doubt that the -French would " hit it off" with the Chinese fully as well as the English, while the Celestials themselves would rather encourage the double colonising system, as affording them the means of playing off the member of the one nation * against the other, and taking advantage of both. PARIS, Tuesday, Sept. 11. . - Abundance of surthises have been indulged in on the subject of the expected entrance of the Sardinian troops into the territory of the States of the Church, but down to the latest dates the frontier had not been. crossed by them. A few isolated bodies of armed men have crossed the boundary, but they did not belong to the regular army. At Ancona, the state of siege has been proclaimed. _ . _ The particulars of General Garibaldi's trium phant entry into Naples are very scanty, to be accounted for probably by the rupture of the telegraphic - Wires, a circumstance which seems in- Variably to occur whenover,there is any intelligence of.unuSual importance waiting to be transmitted along them. The Dictator is, however, reported tolhave had a long interview with Liborio Romano, who has been named President of the Council of Ministers,. in the course of which future arrange ments - were discussed, and it is announced that Garibaldi's stay in the capital will be of very short duration, as he meditates again taking the field against the remaining enemies of Italy's "unification," not later than he 12th or 14th inst. Francis 11. was . still at Gaeta, but expected hourly to set off for Saville. A correspondent of one of the evening papers at Genoa supplies some interesting facts relative to the interference of the Prince of Syracuse in the latter days of of his nephew's reign. The Prince, according to this triter, has been made the dupe of the annex ionist liberal party, who dictated the letter which he wrote. He had allowed himself to be persuaded that it was "the coup-de-grace" that he was thus giving to his nephew, and that after the publica tion . of his letter a deputation would wait upon him at his palace to name him Regent a the kingdOrn in the name of Victor Emma nuel, and to compel Francis 11. to with- Alraw without bombarding Naples, whereas the ill-natured proceeding on the part of the Prince only led to his .being sent to Turin, under the pretext of discharging a mission; and that it may .be considered as certain, that from this time forward he will never again be allowed to return to Naples, any more than his brother the Count d'Aquila. Both are exiled. It is added, that this course was followed in accordance with the advice of SS. Martini and Liborio Romano, the two ablest men in the Ministry ; and the latter of whom, as I have previously mentioned, has accepted the principal ,office under the Dic tator. As to the warlike preparations of Sardinia, it is stated „i n 'the same letter, that Victor Emmanuel was to take the command of the Piedmontese army, consisting of 80,000 excel immediately after G ar ib a ldi' s entry lent troops, into Naples. That army at present is in :three great divisions, ready to enter upon a campaign, under the orders of General Fanti. Minister of War. They are echelonned along the confines of Tuscany and the Pontifical States. Three other divisions are concentrated in Emilia, near Rimeri, under the command of Lieut.-General Ciatini. Gen eral Mumma has also taken three other divisions under his orders. It is further asserted, that if ,'General Lamoriciere interferes in the affairs of ithe kingdom of Naples, the Sardinian army will immediately enter the Pontifical States and openly Itpport Garibaldi. This is, it will .be noticed, a 7ery different eventuality from that commonly . talked of at present, viz., an unsuccessful reply from Cardinal Antonelli. On Tuesday last a brilliant representation took place at the Theatre Paganini, at Genoa, for the benefit of those who have been W . oundcd in the struggle for Italian inde- Prudence, The play was the Medea, and the chief actor Ristori, whose performance in this great tragedy was frequently interrupted by " frenzied" bursts a approbation. I still incline to the opinion that M. Cavour will wait for some better excuse than any which have vet presented themselves to his Govern ment, before the Sardinian troops are allowed to .! - -Toss the Roman frontier. The Pope is not the ' 3 X l y European Sovereign Prince who has foreign soldiers in his pay—far from it,—England Paving, will he remembered, had recourse to services of a German Legion in the last great in which slw took a part, so that the reten tion of La moriciere's mercenaries, by the Pond .Cll.l Government, cannot be construed into an infraction of the principle of non-intervention; still less into a casus belli. However, the fact that piedmont has been engaged for some days past I n -arming and concentrating its forces can no L onger be denied. -Ileanwhile, General Roselli, who was formerly all officer in the Roman Republic, has organised f° l 'ee of 1,500 volunteers in the Romagnas, for t he purpose of supporting the insurrectionary 41° '"etnents of the inhabitants of the various towns which recent accounts represent as daily becoming more numerous ; so that, as I have on a farmer easion remar k e d , i t seem s almost impossible but t hat some c i rcums t ance will, in the course of the next few days, occur to bring the Piedmontese ti ° °Ps in cont ac t w ith those of General Lamori c;:ro• The nex t quest i on , therefore, is —what, tha t case, will Austria and France do I disposed to think that no decisive course will be taken by Austria until after the approach ing meeting at Warsaw.- But I learn, at the same time, that the Austrian Government is in treaty with the shipowners of Marseilles to freight some vessels for the transport of troops from Trieste to Ancona. This may be only a matter of precaution, justified by the gravity of the events which are preparing. to come off in the Marches and Ombria but s hould Austria carry out this arrangement, it would seem to point at a junction of the remainder of the army. of Francis IL, and of the troops of General Lamoriciere, with the Austrians —a -not unlikely combination should PiedniOnt invade the Roman States. On Sunday the Emperor reviewed the troops stationed at Marseilles on the plain of Canne biere; near that city, the whole of the inhabitants of which, according to the Government papers, were present : "the ladies agitating' their handkerchiefs, everybody clapping their hands, and the masts and yards of the numberless vessels in the harbour being crowded with thou sands of spectators." The Emperor returned from the review on horseback, and the Empr'ess followed in a carriage. I suppose in the course of the day the Moniteur will publish another imperial speech, for which I some days ago prepared you. I must not omit to add, that among the great crowd of spectators assembled to witness the passing of the Imperial' cortege were assembled a . vast number of societies of working men, to the number of 150. They were ranged by the side of the garrison, and this immense defile of an army of labour formed a much more gratifying sight than an army of soldiers. For the future, I understand, these societies are to form an essential and the most-numerous element at all Imperial receptions. They will be ready to tale the vacant place of the noblesse and the bour goise. A new and pleasing feature in the arrangement, also, was a series of baskets of roses suspended from the trees, and supporting groups of little girls, who threw flowers at the Empress as she passed. , The throwing of bouquets in the ordinary way had been forbidden. There is still no change in the state of !matters on the Bourse. LATEST NEWS. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPIT.) WAR BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND SARDINIA ANTICIPATED. The Turin correspondent of the Debuts, after announcing the insurrectionary movement in the Marches, states that a detachment of Lanio riciere's forces had been defeated. If the Pope refuses to disband the foreign troop', as is expected, the Sardinian army will cross the frontier. This event will probably take place on Monday or Tuesday. Le Nord says, Piedmont fears a determined attack from Austria. Kossuth, Klapka, and Count Tekeli are at Turin. Kossuth is about to return to London. Another letter 'from Turin says, the double concentration of Sardinian troops at Cattolica and Arezzo will comprise 60,000 men. At Arezzo there will be 40,000 men. The Op inione Nationale says, the army of Victor Emmanuel, amounting to 135,000 men, is posted in echelons, from the Lake of Garda to Areizo, Tuscany, with Florence for its head quarters. The Austrians are reported to have made an extraordinary concentration of troops in the Mantuan territory, on this side of the Po. It is said that the corps d'artnee assembled consists of 50,000 men. SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON AT MARSEILLES. The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the speech delivered by the Enveror at the banquet given to him by the Chamber of Commerce of Marseilles. His Majesty, after expressing his thanks for the reception he had. met with, said :—lt is the intimate union between people and sovereign which constitutes our strength at. home 'as well as abroad, and which has 'enabled us, notwith standing great difficulties, never to pause on the march of progress. The desire for is that is good—the enthusiasm for all that is noble and useful—cannot abate in our day, when circum stances are more favourable, and tranquility is the wish of all the world.. Although some envious murmurs reach us from afar, let us not be disturbed on that account ; they will dissipate themselves against our indifference as the waves of the ocean break on our shores. Let us therefore labour to develop the resources of our country. The works of peace are, in my eyes, crowns as beautiful as those of laurel. In that. future of nationality, prosperity, and greatness, which I contemplate, Marseilles occupies a prominent position. Its proximity to the military port of Toulon seems to me to represent the genius of France : holding in one hand the olive branch, but having her sword at her side. I wish that this ancient Phocean city, by the mild influence of her trade, may induce the people of Europe to come and join their hands on the poetic shores of this sea, and to bury in the depths of its waters all the jealousies of another age. ANNEXATION OF THE PROVINCE OF URBINO TO SARDINIA• BOLOGNA, Sept 10. The town of Urbino has been fortified. The Provisional Government has proclaimed the annexation of the province of Urbino to Sardinia amid shouts of " Long live Victor Emmanuel." The Papal troops are discouraged, and are retir ing. They offer no resistance, but commit acts of ferocity on their passage. A state of siege has been proclaimed at Fano, Sinigaglia, and Pesaro. Five thousand Austrian mercenaries in the Papal service have arrived at . Sinigaglia. The Sar dinian Consul has been obliged to leave Ancona. AUSTRIA. REVISION OF THE CONCORDAT. The Vienna Presse says, in yesterday's sitting of the Reichsrath, it was resolved to insert a paragraph in the report of the committee, for recommending a revision of the concordat, and the placing of all Christian confessions on an equal footing. VIENNA, Sept. 11. Whatever may take place in the States of the Church, the attitude of Austria will be purely defensive, as long as her Italian frontiers are not invaded. All military preparations which are being made at present have no other object than that of energetically repelling any eventual. attack. VIENNA, Sept. 12. In yesterday's sittings of the Reichsrath, the budget for the army and navy was agreed to, before the discussion of the budget for the Ministry of the Interior. Count Rechberg pro tested against the pre vailing idea that the Ministry wished to maintain a political system, the abolition of which was desired. The minister said that this supposition was incorrect, and he assured the members of the council that all the ministers were agreed upon entering the paths of reform. The Reichsrath resolved upon adjourning any discussion of constitutional principles until the conclusion of the discussion of the budget. On the occasion of the discussion of the , Police Budget, M. Maagar proposed that the laws affecting the press should be modified. This proposition was supported, and the vote upon it was adjourned till the close of the discussion of the budget. CONSTERNATION AT ROME OWING T THE EVENTS AT NAPLES. ROME, Sept. 9. break. The Piedmontese troops have arrived at the frontiers of the Roman States. The entry of Garibaldi into Naples has thrown the Papal Government into a state of consternation. The Papal troops have left Pesaro and Singaglia. A French regiment arrived at Rome to-day. The Marquis Simoni has been appointed chief of the Government at Benevento, and Prignani, a man of the lower orders, a chief of the Government of Ponticoroo. TURKEY. CON3TANTTNOPLE (vi 2 Marseilles) Aug. 31. The Sultan has ordered the Grand Vizier, Kibrisli Paella, to terminate his enquiry in the provinces as speedily as possible and to return to Constantinople, where urgent political busi ness requires his presence., It is asserted that the Grand Vizier will not stay at Constantinople, but will proceed to Paris and London, with full power to treat of the most important political questions, and to n;ptiate a new loan. Prince Conza is expected here. Rely Pacha is again in favour with the Sultan, and has been appointed Governor-General of Adrianople. General Pianelli has arrived here to announce to the Pope the retreat of the King of Naples to Gaeta. Monsignor Merode, with 200 gendarmes, has proceeded to Fl•ossenori, where 5,000 work men engaged on the railways threatened an out- THE DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1860. AMUSEMENTS. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. Mr. George Roney, Miss Rosina 4 Howard, and Mr. H. Watkins, appear nightly before croWded and de lighted audiences ; and Mr. Neville and Miss Goodall are still growing. tavourites. To-night the pieces are " Smiles and Tears ) " " A pair of Pigeons,'' and "Don Giovanni." SECOND PERFORMANCE- BY THE SAVAGE CLUB. We are happy to learn that arrangements have been made for a second performance of the Savage Club in aid of the Brough Memorial Fund, a fact which will be hailed with pleasure by the large number of persons who were unable. to obtain admission upon the previous occasion. .It appears that a similar success attended the Manchester performance, and it is to the energy of the committee in that city that we owe the coming visit of the Savages to this county. Already we learn that, most of the places are bespoken for the second perform ance in Manchester, and with such a prospect of increasing the fund for poor Brough's widow and children, the members of the Savage Club could not resist the cordial invitation sent to them. At the same time, bearing a lively and grateful recollection of the generous welcome accorded to them by the Liverpool public, they wisely determined to include this town in their northern route, and hence our preliminary announcement of their coming. The forthcoming per formance will, we believe, take place at the Theatre Royal, on Tuesday week, the 25th instant ; and as the local committee cannot devote the same labour to the arrangements that they rendered on the former Occasion, the performance will take its chance of success entirely upon its own merits. .No tickets will be issued, but the box-office will be opened on a day to be hereafter announced, when all who apply can secure seats in the dress circle. For the other parts of the house there will be no reservation whatever, and the doors will be opened on the evening of performance for the admission of all comers armed with the " open sesame" of the ordinary price of admissiOn. The pit will remain intact, as it is too small to prmit any stall partitioning. This will be good news to the habitues of that popular part of the house. The entertainments as at present arranged will include Sheridan's matchless comedy of "School for Scandal," and, as a matter of course, the famous and excruciating burlesque of " The Forty Thieves." The whole of the Savages who first visited us, will accompany the second expedition, and the strength of the company will be increased by several new members of the tribe whose names ate more familiar than their persons to the people of Liverpool. As a proof of the beneficial effect of these predatory excur sions,we may state that the two performances last month yielded a nett profit of about £4OO. If this amount can be doubled what a blessing it will prove to the widow and children of him for whose memory these generous labours are undertaken, GERMANY. MUNICH, Sept. 11. Efforts are being made to determine several German Sovereigns to proceed to Warsaw. PARIS; Sept. 11. The Pairie says that an interview between the Emperors of Austria and Russia and the Prince Regent of Prussia will take place. ITALIAN AFFAIRS. VIENNA, Sept. 11. It is positively stated that the am bassadors of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, at Naples, have received orders to proceed to Gaeta. DRESDEN, Sept. 11. The Cabinets of Vienna, Munich, and Dresden have advised the King of Naples to take refuge in Germany and not in Spain. . The Piedmontese have not yet entered the Papal States. The reports concerning the revo lutionary movements in the Marches and Umbria are exaggerated. It . is said that the Austrian troops have been concentrated on the extreme frontier of Venetia, facing Modena and the Romagna. The Patnie states that Baron Brenier, the French ambassador •at Naples, is about to return -to France. ROME (ria Marseilles), Sept. 8. A panic prevails here. Mons. Merode has left for the Neapolitan frontier. The town of Frosi nore has been declared in a state of siege. The news of an insurrection at Ponte Corvo has been confirmed. Sardinian troops are marching through Tuscany and the Romagna, to be• in readiness to enter the Papal States. General Lamorieiere has concentrated his troops at Spo leto, and has denied the alleged order of the day in "which he was said to have directed his soldiers to plunder any town which should rise in insur rection. THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, Sept. 11, 3.25 p.m. The Bourse has bean rather firmer. Rentes closed at 68f., or 20c. higher than yesterday. NAPLES. MARSEILLES, Sept. 11. Letters received from Naples to the evening of the Bth instant, state that the Sardinian flag was flying from all the forts before Garibaldi's entry into Naples. The Sardinian Admiral threatened to fire upon any Neapolitan vessel which should attempt to proceed to Gaeta. Garibaldi had found an immense quantity of rt►ar material and 80,000,000 lire in the Bank. • A fe Deum had been celebrated in the Cathe dral by Father Gavazzi, the people shouting " Hurrah for Victor EmManuel!" " Hurrah for Garibaldi!" The people were armed, some even with .pikes and sticks. General illuminations had taken place. The Papal Nuncio, the greater part .of the Am bassadors,•and Count Trapani, had followed the King to Gaeta. The King had appointed Signor Ulloa, brother of General Ulloa, as his Prime Minister, and had issued a proclamation. Aftef the flight of the King, a great rise took place in the public funds. A despatch was received yesterday from Emden, announcing the total loss of the Alliance, from Sunderland. Crew perished. The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA. The Times remarks that it is hard to avoid a suspicion that a sudden alliance between these two powers is designed, to provide anew.for the security of Hungary against menaces, which, besides being formidable to the authority of one Emperor, are by no means agreeable to the traditional policy of the other. The Italian Liberator is not only expected to give freedom to Venetia, but he is supposed to be reckoning on the insurrection of Hungary in aid of his designs ; but it is by no means certain that the Emperor Napoleon would patiently submit to the inter ference of another state in the Italian struggle ; and if the alliance of Russia on the one side, is balanced by the hostility of France on the other, it can hardly be thought, that Francis Joseph would gain by the transaction. The Times city article says that prices at Mark-lane yesterday were about 2s. lower than on the previous Monday. At St. Petersburgh the tallow market is firm, at 49r. for all September. The exchange comes quoted 36d. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of £1,787, and the South- Eastern an increase of £1,120. The H era ld says the embarrassment of a firm en gaged as trimming manufacturers was announced yesterday. The unfavourable nature of the season has checked the business an d pro d uce d the difficulty. The Superior Council of Commerce at Paris is still actively engaged in completing the various clauses of the commercial treaty between Great Britain and France, as the duty to be imposed on British manufactures must be fixed by the first of next month. A communication from Chicago states that since the Ist of January the receipts of grain at that place already exceed 20 million bushels, of which nearly 13 million bushels were Indian corn of the old crop. Not one-twentieth of the wheat crop had been moved towards markets. Travers and Co. give in their last circular 6 harvest reports from the northern counties, 31 from the midland, and 15 from the southern. They indicate, on the whole, that wheat will be a full average and of fine quality; and potatoes are described from all parts to be extremely bad. The steam reserve at Portsmouth consists of the following, not including the gunboats and mortar vessels in Haslar-yard :-7 line-of-battle ships, 4 frigates, 2 corvettes, 9 sloops, 3 floating batteries, 20 gunboats, and 1 troop steamer. They give a total force of 1,150 guns, propelled by 11,420 horse-power. WAYERTREE SUNDAY SCHOOLS.—The annual tea party of the Wesleyan Sunday School, Wavertree, was held last night, in the school-room at that village. A large number of persons interested in the welfare of those schools sat. down, upon that occasion, to an excel lent tea, the substantial parts of which haying been amply discussed, the cloth was removed, and J. Rowell, Esq., was voted to the chair. That gentleman ' briefly and appropriately expressed his pleasure and gra tification at being permitted to occupy the position of chairman on this their annual tea meeting. He con cluded by calling upon the Rev. IT. C. Osborn, who, in the course of a very pointed and useful address, urged upon all the necessity for working hard in the good cause in which they were engaged. His remarks, which were delivered in the manner so peculiar to the rev. gentle man, and with the usual eloquence, were listened to with attention by the numerous assembly, who fre quently and heartily applauded the spirit as well as the manner of the address. Mr. George Bowden and other gentlemen subsequently addressed the meeting, and the proceedings terminate d w ith t he usual , but in this case unusually cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. VOLUNTEER MOVEMENTS 14TH LANCASHIRE ARTILLERY. - Mr. W. Grayson, of Prince's-park, entertained the 14th Lancashire Artillery Volunteers to dinner on Saturday last. The Rev. Rector Campbell will, on Sunday the 16th inst., preach a sermon at St.. Nicholas's Church to the officers and men of the first. brigade of the Lancashire Artillery Volunteers, who are to assemble at half-past 9 o'clock at the New Free Public Library. THE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. RIFLES.—The first meet ing of this association is to take place in Earl Spencer's Park at Althorp, on the 27th inst., when the following prizes will be offered fOr competitien for voluntem of the county of Northampton :—A challenge eup, value £25. A. prize of £7 for the greatest number of points scored at 300 yards; a second prize of £5. A prize of £7 for the greatest number of Points scored at 400 yards; a second prize of £5. A prize of £5 for the greatest number of bits, at 300 and 400 yards. A prize of £5 for the greatest number of hits, at 300, 400, 500, and 600 yards. And for all corners resident in or belonging to the county of Northampton, a cup, value £lO. A prize of £5 for the greatest number of points scored at 300 yards; a second prize of £3. A prize of £5 for the greatest number of points scored at 400 yards ; a second prize of £3. A prize of £5 for the greatest number of hits at 300 and 400 yards. The regulations as to shooting have been most carefully drawn up by Lord Spencer, and the system which worked so well at the great national meeting at Wim bledon will be adopted. Cricket, archery, foot races, and other athletic sports are included in the programme of the proceedings. Acting upon the recommendation of Lieutenant- General Wetherell, C. 8., the second battalion of Liver pool Volunteers, under the command of Col. Gladstone and Major Tinley, are devoting their time and attention to artillery and rifle practice at Hightown. About forty volunteers are encamped already on the shore at Hightown ; targets at various ranges, up_ to 1,100 yards, have been erected, and every effort is put stre nuously forward to perfect the men in the shooting preparatory to the GREAT COUNTY RIFLE CONTEST. Prim the- support received from the nobilk and gentry in general ; and the great experience which the promoters must have gained at Hythe and Wimbledon, the coming meeting among the Lancashire volunteers must eclipse all former contests. The prizes already announced are worthy the famed liberality Of the lieutenant of the county, Lord Ellesmere, Mr. W. Preston, Mr. 3 - . P. Heywood, and Lieutenant-Colonel Brown. Promises of support have been tendered by the Earl of Derby, Colonel Wilson Patten, and a large number of the nobility and gentry of Lancashire ; and the Manchester volunteers have signified their intention in the most handsome manner, of heartily co-operating in the matter after their own meeting at Southport. With this unlimited patronage, support, and co-operation of all the volunteers of the county, the Hightown con 'test cannot fail to be the most successful by far of any yet held in the kingdom. THE COMING CONTEST AT LEASOIVE, CHESHIRE. Thanks to the untiring energy of Messrs. Laird, Captains Liddell, King, Chambres, Harrison and Grey, coupled with the liberal patronage of the Marquis of Westminster, Sir Edward Cust, Lord Combermere, Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, Earl Spencer, Lord Eleho, General Hay, the members for the county, and others of the gentry of the county of Chester, the preliminary arrangements for the coming rifle contest at Leasowe are all but completed. If noble prizes, and ground offering every facility for long and short ranges—with general safety—and perfection in rifle-shooting, which some of the Cheshire 'volunteers have attained, augur and insure success, then the Cheshire contest will be second only to that of Wimbledon, and preparatory in effect to a still more extensive county competitive meeting next summer. The value of the prizes that will be offered is nearly £3OO, presented by various per sons in and about Birkenhead. There will be ten or twelve prizes open to all volunteers of artillery or rifle companies in Cheshire, and three or four prizes open to all comers bona fide residents in the county of Chester. The laws and yegulations have been submitted to, and . are approved by, General Hay. This meeting is no ,v exciting considerable interest throughout Cheshire, as proved by the fact of thirty companies having already. intimated their intention to send members to compete for the prize 3, and will, no doubt, be the forerunner of a properly-constituted rifle association in connection with the National Rifle Association of London. THE HIGHLAND VOLUNTEERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIME 3 SLR,—Observing that the advertisement of the new Highland Company which appears in your paper of to-day commences as follows,— "The uniform of this company, which excited so much admiration at Knowsley," Permit me to state that the only kilted corps present at the recent review was the 71st Highland L.R.V., and that the general commendations of the press and public were bestowed on them, and on them only. I would recommend the promoters of this new com pany to adhere to the truth in their future advertise ments, which, if they wished, they could easily word so that two separate companies should not be confounded together.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, A MF.MHER OF THE 71ST HIGHLAND L.R.V. General Avezzano, a Genoese, who has been a refugee in America since 1849, has been staying at Mr. Secchi's Habana Hotel, Norton-street, during the last w ee k .

MEETING OF SUNDAY-SCHOOL TEACHERS L ast evening, in Hope Hall, a meeting of superintendents and teachers of Sunday Schools was held; Mr. T. D. Fletcher presiding. Tea was laid upon the table at half-past six o'clock, when there were present about a hundred and fifty ladies and gentlemen. o After tea, an interesting paper on " The Tra inin g of Su nday..Schol Teachers" was read by Mr. Edwa rd Jon es , superinten dent of Park-place School. A conversation on the same HisNovember,siibj subject e subject ensued. It was announc ed that the celebrat e d Dr. Cumming will lecture at goP e .liall, in on behalf of the sunday schools in g ene ral. will be "The Prophecies of the Bible, as applicable to the Destiny of Great Britain." He delivered this lecture on Sunday week at the Church of the Oratoire in Paris, and produced - a great sensation. LECTURES ON PHRENOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY , del M ive; Fowlet, the popular lecturer on p hrenol ogy will , the first of two lectures, for the benefit of the Royal Infirmary, in the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, this evening. The lecture will include an explanation of the laws of life on physiological principles ; the temperaments —vital, motive, and mental; how to correct tendencies to excess, and to acquire that harmony of body and mind which conduce to life. Mr. Fowler has net been a very long time amongst us; but, during the short time he has.been in this town, he has established a reputation and achieved; a popularity which will doubtless be last ing.. But it is not from the ability of the lecturer alone that we shall expect a large attendance; in addition to that, there is the truly noble purpose to which the pro fits are to be applied, and from two such great attrac tions we cannot be far wrong in predicting a crowded Louse. THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASSOCIATION.—The monthly meeting of the executive committee of this association was held at the board-room, at the asylum. Mr. M. Warriner presided, and the other members present were—Messrs. John Allinson, W. Coward, T. Jones, T. Calderbank, D. Crilly, H. Hornby, J. Thorn ton, R. Lumb, H. Curwen, W. Crane, C; 144'.. , .u1ter, and J. Atkinson. The first business was the election of a chairman for the ensuing year. On the motion of Mr. Coward, seconded by Mr. Calderbank, Mr. Thomas Jones was unanimously elected. Mr. Curwen proposed a vote of thanks to the late chairman, whose services he highly eulogised. The motion was seconded by Mr. Crane, and carried ; on which Mr. Warriuer returned thanks. Mr. Jones, on taking the chair, briefly acknow ledged the compliment which had been paid to him and the board then proceeded to the election of a vice chairman. On the motion of Mr. Crane, seconded by Mr. Warriner, Mr. Henry Lumb was . elcted. The various sub -committees for the ensuing year were then appointed. It was announced that the nett profit of the pic-nic at Aintree, after paying all expenses, was 13s, 4d.—Mr. Atkinson then called attention to the two clauses of the Wine Licenses Act, under which licensed victuallers may call upon the police for the extrusion of disorderly characters ; and on his motion, seconded by Mr. War-• riner, Mr. Crossman, the secretary, was instructed respect fully to apply to the Watch Committee for a copy of the ' instructions which had been issued to our local police on the subject, that the information might be spread amongst members of the association. The eheismal said he saw by the Manchester papers of the other day that some sol diers had been billeted for fourteen nights at a public house. They came the first, night, but did not make their appearance afterwards. The publican brought the, matter before the Licensed Victuallers' Committee, who waited upon the head-constable, and through his instru mentality an order w as ma d e f or pa y m ent for the whole f our teen nights, at the rate of 4d. a night, on the proper ground that the publican had been put to inconvenience in keeping a bed for them. The secretary read a some what similar case at Canterbury, from the. 11114 'thq .11dierg8er of •Monday last. The remaining business was merely formal and routine. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-YESTERDAY. Er parte POOLEY in re POOLEY.—His -Honour de livered judgment as follows :—This was an application by the bankrupt, John Pooley, for the allowance of his certificate, which was opposed by Mr, Hull, attorney for Messrs. Crowe and Williams, creditors for the sum of £336 Bs. 9d., of which the bankrupt had received in timber in the present year to the amount of £9B. Their timber was used in or towards the construction of a church at Birkenhead. The allowance of the certificate was also opposed by Mr. Martin, attorney for the assignees ; and it was supported by Mr. Evans, attorney for the bank rupt. It appeared that the bankrupt, who had commenced business in August;lBsB, with a capital of £lO3 17s. Bd., engaged in ten contracts for building in the neighbour hood of Liverpool and at Peterborough, by which he bad lost £3,651 6s. 4d. ; while, upon four contracts he had made a profit of £378 14s. la. ; that by the first con tract, which was that for building twelve cottages at Watford, in August, 1858, he bad lost £220 2s. 9d., or more than twice his whole capital, and having lost a small sum by the second contract, about £45 by the third contract, which was th 4 for building the Wesleyan Chapel at Seacombe, finish in October, 1859, he had lost £B6O 18s. 7d. The bankrupt's occupation, before he entered into business oh the 10th of August, 7858, had been that of a contractor's agent, under itlessrs. Arthur and George Holme. A contractor's agent, he represents to be, a person employed to estimate the cost of and to superintend the works to their carrying on and com pletion, and one upon whom the profit or loss depends. He admitted that he had had a very large experience. Mr. Hull complained that the bankrupt had giVen" preferences to the Messrs. Rankin to the disadvantage of his other creditors. A steam engine erected upon premises in the occupation of the bankrupt at Peterbo tough, and for which the Messrs. Rankin had charged him £3OO, and a saw-bench which had cost him £lOO, in January, 1859, were sold to the Messrs. Rankin . in the December following for £2OO ; and to the same cre ditors, as a security for past debts, in consequence, as the bankrupt alleges, of a previous understanding on the subject, he assigned iu March of the present year a sum of £2OB hs., residue of a contract entered into for build- . ing Birkenhead Church, and in April a sum of £l7O due from the Great Northern Railway Company. The bankrupt had timber of Messrs. Crowe and Williams to the amount of £93 on the 26th of March in the present sear. The petition in this case was filed on the 18th of ‘fay. Mr. Martin not only complained of the bank on business when he was losing such rags carrying large slims by his contracts, and of the alleged pre ferences granted , to Messrs. Rankin, but brought under the notice of the court a transaction connected with the contract for the building of the Presbyterian Church at, Birkenhead. The bankrupt, through his brother, had given in a contract for the building of that church, the amount of which was £2,260. The architect is said to have wished to he remunerated for previous plans made, and therefore requested that £lOO should be added to the estimate, which was accordingly done, and the tender was accepted by the architect. This arrange ment was communicated to the bankrupt, who paid part of the £lOO himself to the architect, and directed the other part to be paid. Mr. Evans, on behalf of the bank rupt, urged that his business was so scattered that he was obliged to devolve much of the duty of preparing con tracts upon his brother, who had had almost the entire management of those for Seacombe Chapel, Newcastle Chapel, Finch-street Church, Birkenhead Church, and Harwich, by which losses bad been sustained to the amount of £2,576125. 9d.; bathe admitted tha t his brother had previously been manager for some years to one of _the largest firms in. Liverpool, and that he believed him to he capable of rendering him competent assistance. The explanation furnished by the bankrupt as to his not having posted up his accounts shall be given in his 'own words When I commenced business I intended to remain at Peterborough entirely, and cultivate the Great Northern and London and North-western connection, having made large profits when with Arthur and George Holme, but through the influence of friends I Was in duced to depart from that intention and to take contracts in this neighbourhood, which necessitated my establish ment here. I was anxious to work as economically as I could, and I thought I could do all the clerk's work myself. Several contracts came in hand at once, necessitating my absence. I then felt I ought to have a special book-keeper, and intended so to do when I should have been able to give a few week's personal attendance with him to start the books, and explain the papers tip to that time. Under the pres sure of the work this opportunity did not offer. An accumulation of accounts [took place], making it diffi cult for a stranger to take up the affair, and hence the present complicated state of affairs." Now, as to this, I will only remark that if a trader engages in contracts for buildings at such a distance from each other, and employs no book-keeper to register his transactions, he must in this court, be taken to be aware of losses, if losses have been sustained, and in this case they have been very heavy, the losses bearing the proportion to the profits of nearly ten to one; added to this, he neglects advice offered to him by his brother, a competent judge of the magnitude of his transactions, so that he erred with his eyes open. I think the bankrupt might have sufficiently ascertained the state of his affairs to be satisfied that he could not go on as early as the month of November or the beginning of Ilecember, 1859, and he ought then to have come to this court for the general protection of his creditors, and not to have commenced that practice of benefitting one creditor, the Messrs. Rankin, at the expense of the rest, which began in December, 1859, or January, 1860, and ended on the 6th of April last. The transaction with respect to the contract for building the Presbyterian Chu rc h, t h ough highly censurable as a breach of good faith t owards the employers of the bankrupt, who are not his creditors, has resulted in no loss to the estate ; but upon the case of reckless trading which has been shown by the evi dence, I think that the allowance of the certificate should be suspended for twelve calendar months, and that protection should be withheld for eight months from this day. The certificate, when granted, will be of the second class. PRINCELY LIEERALITY.—Sir Cursetjee J amse tj ee Jejeehhoy, the distinguished East Indian, *0 has been on a visit to Liverpool daring the last week, in leaving yesterday sent the following letter to our worthy Mayor: TO T. D. ANDERSON, Esq., ItIAVOR, LIVERPOOL , Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool, Sept. 10, 1860. My dear Sir,—l cannot leave Liverpool without agai n thanking you for the attention which you have shown me during my stay here. I need scarcely say that I have been greatly pleased with all that. I have se en i n this populous and flourishing town. Amongst o th er things some of your charities have attract e d m y not i ce, and yon will therefore, I hope , excuse 0y asking you to distribute the enclosed cheque for tall as follows £lO to the Blind Asylum,-Ll O . to the beat` and Dumb Institution, £lO to the Eye and Ea - llnfirmary. Assuring . you that I shall carry away me - 1 , • 1 . • rin . pleasing re collections of my visit to Liverpool, believe m e , With - , . with best: respeat., , vburs very faithfully, . . JAMSETJEE JEJEEDHOIrt THE HIGHLAND VOLUNTEERS AND GARIBALDI'S AGENT. Last evening we had the pleasure of being present at the drill of this very recently established corps of rifles at the Devon -street drill-ground. What enhanced the pleasure of the evening. was the presence of Capt. Hampton, oneof Garibaldi's officers and his agent in this town, with his sergeant-major. The presence of Captain Hampton was an unexpected honour to this corps, but although such was the case, there was a large muster, under the command of J. Petrie and limes Macpherson, E sqrs ., who had been nominated by th e company as lieutenant and ensign respectively. Some of the company were clad in the full highland e:Atm-tie, which consists of u fawn grey doublet, a beautiful kilt or the clan Malcolm tartan, Glengarry bonnet, with ho , e sud plaid to snatch. After the men had gone through their exercises for a short time Captain Hampton came upon the ground, and soon after they were ordered by the drill-sergeant to "stand at ease," upon which Lieutenant PETRTE said,—We have a great honour conferred upon us to-night, and that is in having present with us Capt. Hanipton, (cheers,) a captain under the renowned liberator of his country, Garibaldi. (Great cheering.) As the captain has another engagement, which will call him away, I will not detain you, but hope that he will address a few words to you. I may add that the captain, as the agent to the renowned liberator, has visited Manchester, where he has had a greater amount of success than he anticipated (immense cheering), and he is only waiting for orders to start, and join iu the good cause with a large number of volunteers. (Cheering.) I have only one more duty to perform to you, and that is, to intro duce Captain Hampton. (Great cheering.) Captain HAMPTON then advanced in front of the company, and as he did so he was most vociferously cheered by the men. He said—l am an Englishman, you are all Scotchmen ; and so I do not know whether my taste is correct, but; I. must say that it has struck me on looking at you, that yours is a very pretty, a very ser viceable, and I think it is a very cheap dress. I see one of the corps at the head of the line; I suppose that is the real uniform of this company,. and a more hand some one have not seen. I hope it is not too great an expense. (Cries from the ranks of "No, no.") Ensign INNES MACPHERSON—It is only £4. Captain HAMPTON—I am glad to hear that; for one great point in the volunteer movement is the cheapness of the uniform, for then all parties can take part in it at a small expense, and that will add to the popularity of the movement. He concluded his remarks amidst the most enthusiastic cheering, by advising the men to pay particular attention, in the first instance, to their facings. It was one of the most important points that could be attended to ; and however monotonous it might appear to them in the first instance, it was the only thing which would make them good soldiers, when their services were required. He said : Gentlemen of the Highland company, take my advice and attend to your fours and facings for a week or a fortnight. It will appear to you a very long time, but never mind that, for after you have learned them you will be better able to use your rifle ; and I tell you that at a review the facings are the first thing that a general will look at. They will look at that before they do the marching, or the proficiency of the rifle, and I have seen persons carrying a rifle who have not the knowledge how to use it. lam sorry to say that I cannot stop longer ; but I have seen you go through the drill to-night, and perhaps there may be some who have never attended before, but I must say that you will become a fine body of men, and eventually of great service to your country, which will, doubtless, be proud of you. (Cheers.) I wish you every success. Three cheers were then called for Captain Hampton, and three cheers for Garibaldi, which were most enthu siastically responded to. Before leaving the ground, Captain Hampton was enrolled a member of this corps amidst the greatest cheering.' From our visit we can only say, without casting disparagement upon any previously estab lished corps, that it possesses every quality f or f or ming a most excellent company. We understand that as speedily as possible, this company will be officially enrolled, when a gentleman of the highest respectability, and occupying one of the highest positions in the trade and commerce of this port, will be elected its commander —of course, as it is avowedly a Highland company, he will be an eminent Scotchman—one capable and willing to be a leader in this great movement. ST: - MARY MAGDALENE)S-CHURCH, FINCH-STREET, This church, since its opening, has been a decided success, which may chiefly be attributed to the great exertions of the Rev. Rector Campbell, and the respected incumbent, the Rev. H. Baugh. When this gentleman eommenced his labours in this populous district, which comprises 1,260 houses, and a population of (1,500 persons, in the autumn of 1859, in the new church, the room pre viously need for divine service was made' available for a mixed day-school, no school whatever having previously existed, though the want had been much and long felt. The room provides for one hundred children, but it is very inconvenient ; still it is always full, and an average of ninety children have been in daily attendance, and since the Midsummer the ntimbet has been upwards of one hundred. More than three hundred children are at present on the books ; and it is a remarkable fact— the only instance it is believed in Liverpool—that every child resides in St. Mary. Mag,delene's district. Nearly all these children would be in attendanee were the accommodation suitable and adequate, and by little effort the number might be doubled. Thus it will be found that school accommodation is re quired for at least 500 children, and a gentleman, who takes a deep interest in affording school accommodation for the children of this extensive district, has very liberally offered two large and substantial houses in close proximity to the church which will afford every accom modation ; and the purchase and the adapting it to school purposes, will not require a sum exceeding £l,OOO. This offer has been accepted by the congre gation of the church, and an appeal has been made to the inhabitants of this ecclesiastical district, which lies within the boundaries of Moss-street, Islington, Norton ' street, Seymour-street, Copperas-hill, Moor-place, and London-road, having Finch-street for its centre, and comprises twenty-six streets and seventy-nine courts. The appeal, it is to be hoped, will beliberally responded to by all, as it is intended to canvas every house, and re ceive contributions in one sum or weekly payments. The latter mode, we doubt not, will be hailed with delight by the principal inhabitants of the district, who, generally speaking, are of a class that cannot afford to give a large amount, but whe, from their constant attendance at the church, and the interest they take in the schools, will willingly contribute their mite. CHARGE UNDER THE NEW TARIFF . REGULATION ACT. ' Yesterday, at the Police-court, before Mr. Ratiles, Mr. Alexander Sparrow, of the Albany Chambers, Old hall-street, was summoned at the suit of the Custom house authorities, under the 22nd and 25th sections of the Customs Tariff Act.—Mr. Tyndall appeared for the Customs, and said the case was not brought forward in any hostile spirit, nor for the purpose of having penalties imposed; but merely to take the legal opinion of the bench on a point of law, which Mr. Sparrow was of opinion he had interpreted right, in regard to the act just mentioned. From the further statement of Mr. Tyndall it appeared that on the 18th July Mr. Spairow, as the agent of Messrs. Shaw and Co., of Birmingham, shipped six packages of goods on board the steamer Braganza for Lisbon, and that the Messrs. Bibby, the owners, signed six bills of lading for the same, with one general bill of lading containing the six. This was the usual way. It appears, by the new tariff, that the agent or shipper is obliged to return to the customs authorities, within 24 hours, a duplicate of the bills of lading, with a one and sixpenny stamp. Mr. Sparrow returned (as he thought it only.necessary) the one general bill of lading with the regular stamp, whilst the Customs contended that he should return the six. However, Mr. Sparrow furnishes the Customs with a copy of the general bill of lading, stamped with a one-and-sixpenny stamp. There was a second general hill also, and these were•prodnced to the Customs, but no capies of the six other hills of lading were furnished. The Customs authorities contend that they should have had copies. The general bills of lading were compared with the ship's manifest, and it was found that there were six bills of lading ; and the Customs say, "We want a copy of the six bills, with a one-and-sixpenny stamp On each ;" when Mr. Sparrow says, " No, I have given you one general bill, and that is enough." Mr. Tyndall said it would be, therefore, important to the Customs to ascertain whether the general bill was sufficient in place of the six, for if so it would have great influence on the income of the Customs. He then read the section of the act referring to this point, and all that was required was the interpretation of his worship on the law of the case. He argued th a t as th e s i x bills of lading were sent out to the consignee he could give them to six other parties,onehadifgoods,only been sent only one person could claim toe contended that the legislature did not contemplatesuch without the entering of the dup licate in each case, with the is. Gd. stamp on it. Delivering one general bill instead of six was evading the stamp duty. There was no hostile feeling in this case, but merel y to tr y the question. When the act came into operation some mer chants were in the habit of doing as Mr. Sparrow, but, on the matter being pointed out, to them, and on the opinion of the Crown lawyers. it v;,te , , g i ven up. . Mr. Sparrow said be was not informed of this fact ; be had stated that he would be bound by the proper opinions on the subject. He was ready now, if it were decided by the Customs, to act as desirej, if the Customs Commissioners had so decided. "Air. Tyndall said, therefore, on the WI vt a„t Crown, that was 94fficipt. . _ Mr-Sparrow said he was quite ready to adopt the course, and then the matter terminated. THE FIRST OF NOVEMBER. 'As this' auspicious day—to municipal voters and their several vrard representatives—approaches, some little interest is manifested to know who are the retiring councillors, and what steps have been taken to secure the re-election of those who, by their exertions and business aptitude, have, for the past three years, shown their qualifications to fulfil the trust imposed in - them by the electors; or to find substitutes for those who have either neglected or disregarded the interests of those who sent them into the Town Council chamber. Up to the present time we have not heard of any stir being made in any of the wards, but there is no doubt, before the day. of election. arrives, there will be plenty of aspirants fOr municipal honours brought forward. The following is the list of gentlemen who, having. served the three years for which they Were elected, retire from the representation of their respective wards : — Mr. Daniel Crosthwalte retires fmrß Everion. - „ James Crellin „ „ Scotland.

John Laird and Sons for the more speedy conveyance of the mails between Holyhead and. Kingstown, is rapidly approaching completion. The engines and boilers have been all fitted in, and the workmen are now chiefly engaged in finishing the machinery connected with the funnels, steam-pipes, and paddle-wheels. The saloons and 't.ween-decks are being fitted up in a style thoroughly in keeping with the determination of the,owners to make the Munster a model craft, and in point - 13 f .accommodation she *ill vie with anything the Thames, the Mersey, or the_ Clyde has yet produced. The principal matter to be consi dered, however, is the extraordinary speed she is likely to attain. This has been mainly aimed at in the course of her construction, and the means used certainly justify the anticipation. One cannot help being struck with the immense size of her paddle-wheels, which tower considerably above those of the Cunard liner Cambria. Her model, also, is one of the most approved extant, and the general symmetry of the vessel will challenge competition anywhere. The voyage from Holyhead to Kingstown is generally accom plished in from three and a half to four hours, the distance being sixty-five miles, but the Munster is expected to make the passage in three hours, thus equal ing the extraordinary run made lately by the new steamer Giraffe, which accomplished the distance be tween Greenock and Belfast (about a hundred miles) in five hours. The work is so far advanced that we under stand the Munster will probably have steam up on Wednesday or Thursday. In the same dock, and close to the Munster, a body of workmen are also engaged in fitting out the Gumna, a flat.bottomed vessel, specially constructed for navigating the shallow waters of the rivers of India. She was intended as consort to the ill fated Ganges, which foundered a short time ago off the coast of Teneriffe. Her boilers and engines are nearly shipped, and it is expected that within a month she will be in readiness to start far the East. It is to be hoped she will accomplish the voyage in safety, notwithstand ing the prediction of an old " salt," who said she would be " worked out of sight in an instant." LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.---YEsTFRDAv. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) A FIGHT IN BEN JONSON-STREET. James Whitfield, a carter living in Ben Jonsoa-street, was charged with having violently assaulted a powerful young woman, named Mary Cunliff. Mr. Cobb defended. Both the prisoner and complainant had their heads bandaged up, and had a good deal of blood about them, and both had evidently suffered considerably. The prosecutrix said she went to the prisoner's house the previous evening, when she found him beating his wife ; he had her on the floor, with his foot on her throat, and a penknife in his hand, sweating he would kill her. She interfered to prevent him, when he turned on her, knocked her down, and kicked her desperately in the back. She got away, but came back again, when he attacked her a second time, knocked her down, and kicked her in the heal and face, inflicting severe izkiuries on her. Mr. Cobb cross examined the witness, with the view of showing that she and the prisoner's wife had been away in the country with two men for some days past ; but the girl denied that she was avay, but could not tell if his wife had been away. She did not break his head with a brick before he assaulted her. Mr. Cobb said the real facts of the case were these : The prisoner's wife and the prosecutrii went away with two men, cad stopped in the country for same days. They had just returned, and the prisoner, being exasperated, commsnced chastising his wife for her conduct, when the prisoner came in and struck - him on the head With a brick, inflicting d 7 s.tirioul woutia . ; wife and proecutrix then attacked the prisoner,, and would have killed him had he not acted in his own defence. Mr, Cobb admitted that the girl was severely injured. but from the manner in which she and the prisoner's wife had acted, the prisoner was almost justified in striking as be did. Ile called a witness named Sixsmith, who partly corroborated the state ment, and the prisoner was remanded to this day, in order to produce witnesses on both shies. MARY MOORE'S SUPPER. Mary Moore, a tall, dilapidated, dissipated-looking female, with a child in her arms, was brought up by Police-otlicer.33, who charged her under the following circumstances. lie said he was called into a house off Marybone the pirviouc evening, where the prisoner was engaged beating her father, an opera tion in which she seemed to concentrate all her eneigieF.;. Seeing her thus employed, he thought it was not only agAnst the law of the land, but grossly subversive of a command from a higher power, he deemed it his duty to arrest her further progress, "and he accordingly took her into custody, when •he caught his hand in her mouth , and nearly took a pieCe cut of his left mantes. Ile then locked her np on both charges, but her father now refused to come forward to prosecute, and then be proceeded against her on his own charge; aatt upon this she was fined it and costs, or one month's imprisonment. PLUNDER BY A STIOPROY. Detective-officer hayeock brought up a youth, named Augustus Weormiek, who had been in the employ of Mr. Woodward, jeweller, ,Parker-street, on a charge of having stolen a gold watch. It appeared that en Thursday week the wateb was missed, and ;on Lay cock searching the prisoner's lodgings, he got a patrit-tietet . for some studs, that had been stolen from the shop; and it was proved that the prisoner pledged them for 2s. The studs were not missed at the time, nor Witit the watch was sought for. The watch has not yet been found. Mr. Woodward proved that the studs were his property, 'but he had not missed them. The watch was left him to repair, and a claim of £lO made against him for it. The boy denied having taken the watch, but admitted having taken the studs. He was remanded for the present. AN APPRENTICE CASE Mr. Tyndall appeared on behalf of a respectable youth named Joseph Bellamy, who was an apprentice to Captala Sanders, of the ship Istria, who summoned that gentleman, under the atth George 111. to have the indentures cancelled. Mr. Bluck appeared for the captain. It-appeared that in 1857 the youth was bartnd to the captain, who is part-owner of the ship, and that he went two voyages, and about a year agn the parties had some words which -caused a misunderstanding, and the captain told thz youth to go on shore, which he did. It was alleged that the captain had agreed to cancel the inden tures, provided the lad did not go to sea during the residue of the term. This was refused, and the boy, for the last twelve months, was educated at home for the Rapti Navy ; and when the ship arrived here recently the friends of the boy wanted the captain to cancel the indentures, bat he refused, and hence the summons. Mr. Vlach, oa the part of the captain, stated that he wanted the boy to finish his time, a d that there was a ship teady for him now. He contended that there never was any cruelty shown the lad, and there was no cause whatever why the indentures should I, e cancelled, as the captain wanted the youth to finish out his time. Mr. Raffles refused to cancel the indentures, and dismissed the summons. CURIOUS CASE. Ellen Liverege, described as a highly respectable woman, living in Werwick-square, was brought up on remand, charged with stealing a pair of glass lustres. from a shopin Soho-street. She was in custody of officer Seaife, and Mr, Cobb appeared for her defence. It seems that on Saturday evening the prisoner was taken to the Pollee-office on a charge of having obtained a quantity of groceries front a grocer by mesas of false pretences, but in censteenenee of her " respectability," the matter was "Arranged," or "compromised," and then Scaife remembered that there was a charge against her of having stolen the lustres, and he went to her house and found them in a box. It appeared that on Thursday last she went to the shop of the complainant, and in her absence she told her daughter that a eady named Norris had sent her for the lestres, and by these means she got off from the girl with them. It was alleged by Mr. Cobb that the prisoner is insane, and filet she was only a sh'rt time out of an asylum. It was stated that two witnesses were absent by the influence of the friends of the prisoner, but Mr. Cobb indignantly denied this.

Mr. Black, in opening the cave, said the charge was for a serious assault, and he regretted that a gentleman s hould so far forget himself as to strike a lady, trallaose he had even got the grossest provocation, there was no excuse for a man striking a laity Mr. Bailly (said Mr. Block) resides with a woman in the same street, and on the Ist of September that woman beat one of Mrs. Wiekbaen's d a ughters, and in the evening she went - to his door to enquire and when she knock e d a t th e why s he had beaten her child ; door it was opened by the clefetylutt, when the complainant asked him why the women had struck her deuektee.

MORE SHIPS FOR GARIBALDI. • The steam-ship Cambria, belonging to the Cunard Company, has been recently sold to Mons. Figoli, of Genoa, and we believe will be transferred, on her arrival at. Palermo, to General Garibaldi. We understand that this purchase was negotiated by Messrs. Paton and M'Nirol, shipbrokers, of Water-street. This vessel is commanded by Captain Gleadel, and sailed yes terday afternoon for Palermo. It was under stood that the excursionists from this port who intend visiting Italy, and 'rho have been inducted to do so by Captain Hampton, were to embark in her. The steam-ship Damascus, belonging to the same company, has been purchased on specula tion, and will take her departure this week. We believe the excursionists will go by this vessel. Both these vessels will be replaced by others of a larger size, and we have no doubt the pur chasers will realise a handsome profit on this transaction. It. was reported yesterday that the steam-ship Meander, belonging to Messrs. J. Bibby, Sons, and Co., had been purchased for the • same purpose. We are informed that several other steam-ships have lately left this port upon a similar speculation. . . . THE COURT. BALMORAL, Sept. 9. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Princess Helena, and attended by Lady Churchill, drove yesterday to Aberarder, and then rode over Culardach, and returned to the Castle by Invercauld. The Prince Consort went out deer stalking. The Belgian Minister, and Madame and Miss Van de Weyer, and Dr. Robertson, had the honour of joining the Royal dinner party. Sir Charles Wood, Secretary of State, arrived at the Castle and succeeded the Duke of Argyle in attendance upon her Majesty. BANKRUPTS. William Score, soap manufacturer, Hatcham, Sanrey..

GRATIFYING MEETING.—Last evening the numerous= employees of Mr. James Smith, the eminent music seller and pianoforte-maker, of Lord-street, were enter tained by him at a bountiful and sumptuous supper, oat the occasion of the coming of age of Mr. Smith's eldest son, his eventual successor in business. The banquet also served to inaugurate the opening of Mr. Smith's, new and extensive premises in the same street, which are perhaps unequalled in point' of extent, and , for variety and Nalue of stock unsurpassed by any in: the kingdom. A delightful evening was spent, ands everything went off thoroughly to the gratification alike of the entertainer and the entertained. Such reunions. as these, between the employer and the employed, are as pleasing as they are creditable to all concerned, and we always experience a pleasure in recording them.

A MODEST REQUEST.—THE ROPE WALKER AND Txn PRINCE.—We read the following, quoted iu the .LYbra' of Brussels, from the Xew York .Evening Post : "If it. be not a duck of the genuine type, it reveals a degree of cool assurance not hitherto surpassed. Blondin, the acrobat, or funambulist, who has gained celebrity by his feats at Niagara Falls, has had the impertinence to write to the Duke of Newcastle, asking to be allowed to arrange for the Prince of Wales quite a novel mode of entrance into the United States ; namely that he, Blondin should be permitted to carry the Prince on his shoulders from the Canadian to the States side of the cataracts on , a tight rope :" Spotti%3 Antelligruct.
