There are a large number of unchartered ships in port which are pressing upon the market, and as the supply of tonnage is in excess of the demand, outward freights are lower, and falling daily. The rate for Salt to Calcutta is reduced from 38s to 32s ; and other freights have fallen in proportion. Homeward freights are firmer, and more enquiry for ships at the rates we quote. For the West Indies ships are still wanted, at 19s to 20s for St. Thomas or Jamaica. Freights to United States are slightly on the decline, and rates scarcely obtainable at our quotations.

In the House of Lords yesterday, Lord Chelms ford moved the third reading of the Sunday Trading Bill. Earl St. Germains and Earl Gran ville opposed, and Lords Teynham and Chlems ford defended the measure. After some further debate the House divided, when the motion for the third reading was carried by 40 to 29 majority, 11. The bill then passed. The Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals Bill was read a second time. Some other bills were forwarded -a stage, and the House adjourned. In the House of Commons, yesterday, Lord Palmerston said that the Government was ready to furnish ships to survey the Northern Sea, in order to test the possibility of laying a telegraphic cable to America by way of Scotland, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Labrador. On the motion of Mr. Lindsay, it was agreed to appoint a select committee to inquire into the organisation and management of those branches of the Admiralty, War-office, India-office, and Emigration Board, by which the business of transporting, by means of shipping, troops, convicts, emigrants, materials of war, stores, and any other similar services, is now performed, with a view of adopting some uniform system by whidh such services may be economically and efficiently cOnduete& under- the authority of one consolidated - and responsible department. The most interesting and lengthened debate of the evening was on Mr. B. Cochrane's motion for • the publication of the details of all future examinations of candidates by the Civil Service Commissioners; . the object of which, as ,was made very plain by the speech of 'the mover, was to strike at • the• competitive system. The Chancellor of the Exchequer opposed the motion. Lord Stanley defended the present system, enter ing at some length into the advantages of com petitive examinations in bringing out the merits of the several candidates. Those who had been rejected had failed in the lowest elements of the examination, in spelling and arithmetic. Several members went into a detailed discussion of the question. The mover having replied, con cluded by stating that as the report of a committee on the whole subject Was about. to-issue, he should not press the motion, which was negatived with out a division. Mr. Denman obtained leave to introduce a bill for the amendment of the pro ceedings on trials for felony and misdemeanour, the object of which was to assimilate the criminal to the civil law, in enabling the counsel for the prisoner to comment upon the evidence after it had been given. Captain Jervis was making a motion against the Wakefield prosecutions, when the House was counted out. A telegram from the Paris correspondent of the Post states that a despatch from Turin announces the renewal of the bombardment of Palermo ~.at the expiration of the armistice. This confi'rm's the report we published yesterday of the King's rejection of the capitulation. We are assured, from another quarter, that the King of Naples had applied for aid to Austria and France. It was supposed for a moment at Turin that Austria hild moved down a body of 15,000 troops to create a diverAion. Such consistency did the rumour obtain, that French regiments were marched to the point indicated. The alarm proved to be without foundation; but the prompt movement of the French troops shows how quickly any such enterprise would be met. Francis Second, we are told, next applied to the Emperor of the French for an armed mediation. The telegraphic message found the Emperor at Lyons; and we are assured that it received an instant reply, to the effect that any interference of France in this conflict was entirely out of the question. : - By a later telegram from Paris we are told that the reported commencement of hostilities at Palermo is unfounded, and it is asserted that the struggle had not been renewed up to the last date. The capitulation had not been yet signed, but the armistice was prolonged until the 12th instant. It is further stated that it was hoped, by the mediation of the commanders of the foreign vessels, to arrive at an honourable arrangement between the parties engaged, who had.displayed equal bravery. By way of Genoa, we .learn that Garibaldi was forced to grant an armistice, on account of a want of ammunition. It is rumoured that the insurgents found a large sum of money in the royal palace. General Letizia, it is said, left on the morning of the for Palermo, to renew the armistice. Vessels laden with projectiles continue, however, to be despatched from Naples. The Government is said to have ordered the Council of State to pre pare • a Constitution in conformity with French institutions. Tt is stated that Garibaldi shows great kindness to the Neapolitan officers whom he has piken prisoners, among whom he hopes some defections will take lage. According to a still later. telegram the arznistice had been indefinitely prolonged. General Letizia had arrived at Naples, the bearer of la new capitulation, and he is said to have pointed'out to the King that the soldiers would refuse to fight, and that desertions had commenced to beecnie numerous. Great enthusiasm in favour of Gari baldi was spreading in the army, and in Sicily the clergy were publicly preaching a crusade against the Neapolitan Government. The Commendatore Martino, the Neapolitan Minister at the court of the Holy See, has ; !eft Rome for Naples, he having been summoned thither by the King. , — The Ambassador, before takin g his departure, had a long conference with the Pope. itome is tranquil, but the inhabitants are agitated by the grave news from Palermo. Strong patrols traverse the town during the evening. His Holiness is said to have expressed his opinion that the iiiperor Napoleon and the King of Sardinia had resolved upon the execution of the progamme contained in the pamphlet " Le Pape et le Congres." Signor CasiellaiJ4, the Roman patriot, has been exiled. The favourable news from China published yesterday in anticipation of the China mail seems of doubtful accuracy. These rumours are pro bably put forth for speculative purposes ; and they have had their ofect on the tea market. We are told by ether iiisiVate telegrams that war is eonsiderei inevitable. Amongst the prepara tions for the war iu China, it may be noticed that the Admiralty invite tenders •;to t r 'the' supply of 2(1,000 tons , of South Wales cosi, deliverable at Hong Kong. The treaty with Morocco has been published. The first payment of indemnity by Morocco will be effecttd. .on the Ist Jl.lly next. 'The Espana states that Cardinal Wiseman was about to visit - Spain, to promotelf of the Holy See, and to „dnulate the;. faithful to take pait in the loan oPened by Ilia Holiness. The . GL'ette du Nord states that the .principal measures,' proliosed , kir the emancipation of the Serfs in:Russia havebeen adopted by the majority Of the deputies of the nobles, and that the general Infranc.bisement would be realised in the course ornext.iutunan. . 'Everybody believes that. Alinisteys are not in earnest • about their Reform Bill. The pity is, they will not honestly say they do not want to pass a Reform Bill during the present session. Ministerial organs are still driven to assert ,the oft-refuted lie that the only difficulty has arisen from the " intention of her' Majesty's Opposition to adhere to that policy of delay which they have assumed from the very moment of the introducing of the Reform Bill." The bill is now the sport of everybody in the• House of Commons who can speak for a quarter- of an hour. It is weaker when each member sits down than when he rose to speak on it, if only because another quarter of an hour is gone With a measure which is march ing to its doom. Indeed, it matters but little on which side the speech .is made—the bill may sway this way or that, but the result is the same. Before the end of the week it is believed that Lord John will find matters ripe for an announce ment of the usual character,—the lateness of the season, the pressure of business, the temper of the House, and perhaps it will be added, the indiffe rence of the public, all concur in rendering it impossible to. deal with . Parli amentary Reform this present session. And thus the " little : Bill" will •be gathered to •its fathers, and Lord 'John Russell will once more have to figure as chief mourner on that melancholy occasion! iP $- . men whose wisdOu. anaN;it*ienee iti municipal affairs, irrespecti,ve- of mere patty considerations, best entitle them to be heard and deferred to by the iiihabitadts of Liverpool ; and that the tone of the speakers, whose utterances seemed most acceptable .to. the meeting, was not based so much on the` "real merits of the proposed improve mentS, 'as on the question of allocating the expense of certain undeniable requirements. Having no party leaning whatever in this Matter, we - feel the more- confidence in•referring to these facts, as indicating the conclusion that the opinion expressed by the meeting yester day is to be taken only cum notd. If we have rightly- appreciated the character of the move ment in its origin and of the " Town's Meeting' , yesterday, we may be excused for pausing before we concur in its competency to decide on the particular question to which the majority so clearly confined themselves—namely, how far a well-known, small, section of interested parties, who may have constituted the meeting, shall . be called upon to share the burden of effecting these improvements. • We - need give no offence when we say that the resolutions adopted at yesterday's meeting was only what might have been expected of them. If on that account the general community shall think their expression of opinion less worthy of attention, we cannot help it. The general public are the best judges, and, we believe, in the end, are infallibly correct.. The only difficulty is in fairly obtaining a public judgment. In the meantime, we must be excused for denying that character to the resolutions adopted at yesterday's " Town's Meeting." LATEST NEWS. (By BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) FRANCE. PARIS, June 5. The Moniteur of to-day contains a bulletin stating that the improvement in Prince Jerome's health continues. SICILY. Garibaldi; in letters from Salerni and Calata fini, praises the zeal of the Sicilian insurgents ; and speaking of the Neapolitan troops, says they were more determined in their resistance than the Austrians last year in Lombardy. Garibaldi asks for arms and ammunition. A despatch from Cagliari, of the 2nd instant, announces the safe arrival of volunteers, arms, and ammunition. Messina, on the 29th May, was quite deserted, the people having taken refuge in the shipping. Garibaldi's diary to the 26th May describes his continued successes ; the feint with such successful results before Palermo ; and concludes by stating that the wounded are doing well. NAPLES, June 2. _ _ Letters received here from the French squadron off Palermo state that the armistice was to last until Tuesday. The fury of the inhabitants of Palermo during the late fighting - is indescribable. They even threw valuable furniture at the troops. It is asserted that the King has demanded French mediation, upon the basis of a separate government for Sicily. ROME, June 2. The Neapolitan Ambassador has been summoned to Naples by telegraph. It is stated that he will be entrusted with the formation of a new Ministry. Since the last victories of the Garibaldians, the Papal Government had feared disturbances in Rome. Strong French patrols traverse the streets. SWITZERLAND. GENEVA, June 5. The Marquis de Targot, the French ambassador, is expected to arrive at Berne, after having been absent for eight months. M. de Tallos will leave on Saturday, for Bucharest. The journals of Berne express their regret at the approaching departure of M. de Tallos, on account of the moderation and impartiality with which he has discharged the duties of his mission. The Dowager Empress of Russia left yesterday, for Zurich, attended by the Princess Marie Eugenie, of Leuchtenberg. THE EASTERN QUESTION. MARSEILLES, June 5.

The Bourse has been very flat, and yesterday's advance was not maintained. Rentes closed at 69f 85e, or a fraction higher than on Saturday. The following appeared in our. later editions of yesterday : SICILY.

Carafa called the attention of the Powers to the situation of ySicily THE TOWN'S 'SIEETING, YESTERDAY. LIVERPOOL has risen, within a comparatively brief period; from the dimensions, of a„.tisbing Village to be a place of importance, second only to LondOn—the metropolis of the world: - The rapidity with which Liverpool has, increased in population is without a parallel. It is as indis putable as it is remarkable that it has quintupled the number of its inhabitants within half a cen tury ! The original character of the little nucleus from which the town latterly extended in every direction was that of a miserable jumble of narrow and inconvenient streets, lined by dull and heavy looking houses: The haste with which new streets were subsequently laid out, and requisite accommodation •was provided for its sudden development of commerce and trade, is a well known fact. The teeming thousands so speedily attracted to the port by the prospect of employ ment, and of profitable merchandise, gave no time for the conception or digestion of an economical and uniform plan for effecting the extension of the borough. The people who flocked in such crowds to this spot, on the east bank of the Mersey, required to- be housed immediately ; and those who planned and built in those - days seem to have acted, not conjunction with each other, or on the basis of any general plan of operations, but each man only "as seemed right in his own eyes." The Liverpool builders of a former generation, eager to meet the con tinually growing demand for accommodation of all kinds, with the least possible delay, seem to have entertained small regard either for the quality of their work, for its architectural character,' or for the subsequent convenience of a greatly-extended town and seaport. This has been more or less the history of every large town, but, in the case of Liverpool, it has found a more than usually striking illustration, owing to the general fact we have already alluded to—its unusually bad beginning and unprecedentedly rapid enlargement. The evils arising from such an ',ill .regulated accumulation—we might say conglomeration—of streets and buildings, of. all sizes and shapes, except those we now desiderate, soon become manifest. The streets are too con fined for a great traffic ; the dwellings remain imperfectly ventilated ; sewerage and other sani tary requisites are impeded ; and all sorts of im provements, the benefits of which . might have been secured, by anticipation, at little cost, become so difficult .to effect that every makeshift is had resort to, from time to time, until the evils com plained of reach a climax and work their own cure. The lapse of time thus not onty aggravates the orginal mischief, but renders its effectual remedy so much the more ex pensive, and of course, correspondingly irksome, to those who have to hear the cost. The conclusion is very manifest, hoWeVer, and' it especially deserves the serious consideration of the burgesses and ratepayers of Liverpool, that the, longer certain desirable improvements are deferred, the charge for effecting them—as they must beat some subsequent _period—will un doubtedly,bear so much the more heavily npon them or their representatives. So that whatever opposition may be offered by selfish and narrow minded people, who may think that the present unimproved state of things will serve their day— and there will always be found some such human oysters—it is unquestionably the duty r ,' and fOr the interest of Dicky Sam, junior, to welconie and promote ally safe and well-matured plan for the gradual improvement of the borough. Much has already been done in Liverpool to repair the errors of the past. Of public building§ we can boast some that will bear a favourable comparison with the finest architectural efforts even of metropolitan cities. Private enterprise, especially of late years, has also been most judi ciously and tastefully applied in the erection of magnificent piles , of masonry,--which -are not unworthy of a town that boasts of its merchant princes. Even under-ground, beneath the feet and beyond the vision of the sight-seeker, most valuable sanitary improvements have, quite recently, been executed in Liverpool at an enormous cost. In this unostentatious way alone, the town has expended the princely sum of upwards of three millions sterling ! There is still, however, a vast amount of work to be done and money to be spent before Liverpool, above and below ground, is brought into a condition commensurate with the grandeur of her position, the value of her commercial resources, or the number and wealth of her inhabitants. The spirit of improvement is now stirring up our population to make some adequate effort towards the further beautification and substantial improvement of the town ; and a comprehensive scheme of public improvements, as we have often had occasion to notice, now engages the attention of the magistrates, the town council. and their constituents. Yesterday a public meeting of the burgesses snd ratepayers of the Borough, convened, on requisition, by His Worship the Mayor, was held for the purpose of adopting proceeding's relative to the proposed corporate offices in Dale-street, ind to the scheme of public improveinents in the Borough. The virtual deliverance of thatmeet ing was that all the proposed improvements onght to be indefinitely poStponed. The value and importance to be attached to the verdict of any public meeting depends patkely on the character of its originators, the parties coniposing it, and the tenor of its deliberations.. A so-called Tong's meeting may have negative as - well as positive qualitice. For instance, every one will admit that a meeting ealied cri a barely sufficient requisition, attended by none of the greater lights of the community, and in its discussions marked by a great want of proper and enlight :ne.d feeling on the part of the majority then tssembled, is not an assembly whose decision can ')e looked upon as that of the general body of the inhabitants. Qty these important points we state only facts, when we say, that the requisi tionists were so insignificant in number that, although His Worship the Mayor might not 7 is the circumstances, have felt justified in dis regarding it altogether, the originators of the movement, ac far as numbers go, cannot be said to constitute a perceptible portion' of the con stitliencies ; that the weagre attendance, at the mseeting of yesterday, was characterised chiefly by the marked absence of most of those *gentle- LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 4. (Sittings in Banco, Trinity Term, before Lord Chiei Justice Erie and Justices Williams and Byles.) MERSEY DOCKS AND HARBOUR BOARD v. JONES AND OTHERS This was a special case, arising out of an action of replevin, to try the question of the liability of the Birkenhead Docks to pay poor-rates. A rate was made and levied by tile defendants as overseers, 444 the plaintiffs replevied. The importana Of the question in dispute was shown by the fact that the sum claimed from the plaintiffs for their contribution to the particular indi vidual rate now in question was no less than £20,580. Sir Fitzroy Kelly (with whom was Mr. Quain) appeared and argued the case for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Boyill (with whom was Mr. Mellish) for the defendants. The plaintiffs contended that the docks in question were used for public purposes, and that the plaintiffs had no beneficial occupation, and that on those grounds they were not rateable. The defendants contended that the rateability of docks, the tolls or dues arising from which were applicable--,fixst, to keeping them in repair, and afterwards, for general public pnrposes, in precisely the same manner as these docks, had been decided to be rateable .by the Court of Queen's Bench, and that the whole public were not benefited by the docks, but only a class of the public, and that this was such a bene ficial interest as rendered them rateable. A great number of cases were referred to in support of the respective arguments. The argument was adjourned tntil to-morrow. Ju:sa 5. On the openifig of the case to-day, the court, without ' hearing Sir F. Kelly in reply, said that the principal question, apart from certain authorities, was whether these docks were used for public purposes. Mr. Bovill said because only that portion of the public-who invested their capital in ships used them ; but the same might be said of a highway for carriages for it was only that portion of the public which invested capital in horses 414 carriages that used it. In the one case, like the ()flier, all persons had the right of use • and if a great public harbour like this were to be rated they did not know how it could be said that the owner of the soil of a highway was not liable to be 'rated, for the benefit which the public received. It was said the distinction was this —that the frequenters of this great public harbour paid dUes for using it ; but this was analogous to the case of a turnpike road which the public paid for the use of. It had been long ago decided that the soil of a turnpike road was nut rateable, on the ground that it was devoted . to the public use, and they could not see the difference between that and a public harbour, which any inf;.n might enter with his ship. Upon this ground they were bound to say that the case of "King v. the Liverpool Docks, " was rightly decided; but at the same time their judgment must be based upon the ground of the incompetence of this court to review 6. solemn decisions of the Queen's Bench with all the ir Parliamenteumstances before their, „ th e e s e p e ec c i ae al e l s y a a s s laswev,eirna this lAas of par ticular instance at all events.

The export of tea is stated at 75,000,000 lbs., and that of silk at 60,000 bales. The exchange at Shanghai is quoted 6s. Bd., being about 14 per cent. worse for this country, and at Hong Kong 4s. 9d., showing little alteration. The market for imports was without change. The stocks of exports were small, and the transactions limited. The prices of silk were falling. The date from Hong-Kong is April 25th. The Court left Buckingham Palace yesterday after noon for Windsor. . The Bombay rate of exchange shows a favourable movelittgit of 1 per cent. The fleet which has been lying in the Downs for some days sailed yesterday for Leith. The Calcutta, Bombay, and China mails, via Mar will be distributed in London on Wednesday morning. The Stock Exchange Committee, yesterday, confirmed the suspensien of Messrs. Scrimgeour, but by a dimi nished majority. The private telegrams received yesterday in antici pation of the China mails, have strengthened the posi tion of the tea market. . The letters of, apology addressed by the directors of the Thames and Mersey Company to those subscribers to whom no allotment can be made, are now in course of issue. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—YESTERDIYa Lord CHELMSFORD moved the third reading of the Sunday Trading Bill. Earl ST. GERMAINS objected to the bill as legalising Sunday trading within certain hours. It would compel certain classes to open their shops till ten o'clock on Sunday mornings. lie moved as an amendment that the bill be read a third time that day six months. Lord TEYNHAM supported the amendment. Lord CHELMSFORD defended the measure, which would stop the disgraceful trading on Sundays in the public thoroughfares. Earl GRANVILLE opposed the bill. After some furtker debate the House divided, when the motion for the third reading was car►ied by 40 to 29. The bill then passed. The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Bill was read a second time. Some bill were forwarded a stage, and the House adjourned at half-past seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS-YESTERDAY. The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock. In reply to Mr. Wyld, Lord PALMERSTON said that the Government was ready to furnish ships to survey the Northern Sea in order to test the possibility of laying a telegraphic cable to America by way of Scotland, the Faroe. Islands, Greenland. and Labrador. Mr. LINDSAY moved for a select committee to enquire into the organisation and management of those branches of the Admiralty, War Office, India Office, and Emigration Board, by which the business of transporting by means of shipping troops,.convicts, emigrants, materials of war, stores, and any other similar service, is now performed, with a view of adopting some uniform system by which such services may be economically and efficiently conducted under the authority of one consolidated and responsible department. As the . motion was not, he believed, to be opposed, he would not occupy time in argument. Sir N. SEYMOUR seconded the motion. Lord C. PAGET said that he had no objection to the motion of the honourable member, but he feared that there would be great difficulty in the way of the success of his plan. Mr. BAILLIE advocated a separate department to be charged with the control of the transport setvice. After some discussion, Sir J. PAKINGTON declared his satisfaction at the consent by the Government to the enquiry, and deprecated further dis cussion under the circumstances. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. B. COCHRANE moved, that for the future the Civil Ser vice Commissioners shall publish, with their annual report, all the examination papers submitted to candidates, specifying the proportion in which the maximum of marks assigned to each branch of knowledge is divided among the questions con tained in each paper. He attacked the entire system of examination, which deprived the Crown of many valuable servants; but if it was to be carried on, it should only be under complete publicity. He complained that the absence of publicity had led to many instances of individual hardship, some of which he detailed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion, as directly levelled against the competition system. That system checked the spirit of jobbery, wh'eh was still rife in the country, and often indirectly encouraged by members of Parliament. Sir F. SMITH made some observations as to the manner of distributing the marks allotted to candidates. Mr. BENTINCR declared that examination was more neces sary fdriiiteMbers of the treasury bench than anywhere else. So long as the Treasury exercised its patronage without responsibility, there would be that feeling of dissatisfaction which gave rise to the present motion. Lord STANLEY defended the present system, entering at some length into the advantages of competitive examinations in bringing out the merits of the several candidates. Those who had been rejected had failed in the lowest elements of the examination, in spelling and arithmetic. He opposed the motion, as a committee on the entire subject had just con cluded its labour, and was about to issue a report which would throw much light upon the subject. The information that report would furnish would enable them to discuss the matter to much greater advantage. Mr. BOWYER entered into details to prove the imperfection of the present system, which constantly demanded knowledge from the candidates totally inconsistent with their future duties. Sir G. C. LEWIS said there was no attempt to adopt the examinations to the future duties of the candidates ; the object was, in a general examination, to ascertain that they had a liberal education. Lord R. Czcir. objected to the high pressure aystera which brought in clever and worthless men to the exclusion of per sons really fitted for these duties. Sir S. Noaracorn urged the House to wait till the evidence of the committee was brought forward, whose inquiries bad been searching and extensive. • • Mr. B. COCHRANE replied, declaring that he had heard no valid reason against his,niotion ;" still, as the report of the com mittee was about to issue, he should not press it. The notion was negatived without a division. Mr. Dr-viaav moved for leave to introduce a bill for the amendment of the proceedings on trials for felony and misde meanour, the object of which was to assimilate the criminal to the civil law in enabling the counsel for the prisoner to comment upon the evidence after it had been given. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought that the bill deserved con sideration. Leave was given to introduce the bill. ; Captain Jervis was making a motion against, the Wakefield prosecutions, when the House was counted out, at twenty-five minutes•past seven. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. CASTELLAIN.) STABBING BY AN OLD WOMAN. Mary Gibney, an old woman who keeps a small eating-house in Gascoyne-street, was charged with having stabbed a young female named Mary Keith. Mr. Bluck defended: The com plainant said at 4 o'clock the previous day she, with another female, went into the shop of the. prisoner to get something to eat when the prisoner, without any provocation, struck her with a knife on the nose, inflicting a long wound on that organ. Mr. Bluck endeavoured to show that the girl went in and was making a blow at the prisoner, who had a knife in her hand, and on raising that hand to protect herself, the knife struck the girl by accident. A girl, who was with the prosecutrix, cor roborated her statement. Mr. Bluck called two witnesses to sustain the view of the case he had pot before the court, and having proved his point, the'prisoner was discharged. PLUNDgR. A well-dressed female, named Mary Williams, who refused to tell anything about herself, was charged for having stolen nine waistcoats from Miss. Cheshire, .a vest maker, living in Leeds-street. It appeared that Miss Cheshire had six of the vests from Messrs. Watson and Lord-street, and three from Mr. Davis, of Great Howard-street, to make, as she Worked. for these shops. She had them safe in her place at ten in the morning, and missed them at six hi the evening; but she knew nothing of the prisoner, nor had she ever seen her before. The property was worth 50s. A woman named Ford, who keeps a broker's shop in Greetham-street, said she stopped the prisoner, offering some of the property for sale ; she had already disposed of some of the vests. The owners of the property having proved to it, the prisoner was sent for trial. CHARGE AGAINST A FAMILY Isaac Nicholson, and Mary, his wife, with John, their son (a Youth about 17), were brought up by detective (doers Redman and Marsden, on the following charges. Mr. Cobb appearedto prosecute in one of the charges, and Mr. Bluck defended the Prisoners. , The officers said they went to the house of the pri soners, at 111, Back Salisbury-street, in order to look for some property that had been stolen from Sarah Dutton, 'of Soho street; and on searching the house they found a quantity of f at: l .OY soap, pickles, candles, tea, marmalade, oil, and other things, which the'two elder , prisoners said they had brought from Manchester. Not believing this • statement, they made enquiry, and found that the ynunger prisoner was employed as a messenger in the establishment of Mr. Thompson, grocer, of Elliott -street, and on questioning him he admitted that he took the things from Mr. Thompson's shop, but did so by the advice of his father and mother / and said that he often told them it would come to that with them all, Mr. Thompson said the Younger prieoner was in hie employ for some few mouths, and he had a great opinion of him; he had not missed anything, but he identified a portion of the property and two baskets, that were stolen from his shop and warehouse. Mr. Block argued that - the -woman•onght to be discharged, as she was acting under the influence of her husband ' • but the magis trate sent all three for trial on the. charge. Mr. Cobb then said he would proceed with the charge against the two elder prisoners, for burglary and stealing in the house of Mrs. Dutton, who' was the sister of the female prisoner. The officers produced a mantle, which they got in a box in the prisoner's house ; and Mrs. Dutton said it, was her property, and had been stolen from her house. Mr.: Bluck said he was not sufficiently instructed in this case, and asked for a remand, whioh was granted to this day. - A MISTAKE. 'Richard Harrison, an able "seaman, on bsard the City of Washington, was charged with having stolen a box, containing a quantity of wearing apparel. belon.ing to another sailor, named Thomas Burt. Mr. Bluck defended. It qppeued tug when the prisoner left the ship he was in a state of intoxichtiOn, tiVit taking : away !lit tbings.hi. ord wed the' prosecutor's box to be taken with his o-,,vn property. It was subsequently found in the prisoner's lodgings, at 24, Reacon-street, but the con tents were untouched, and the•box locked. The prisoner Was drunk all the time, and Mr. Muck contended that it was a mistake on his part, and was the fault of the drink—there was no felonious intent on the part of the prisoner.. The magistrate was of the same opinion, and discharged him from the charge of stealing, but fined him 5s and costs for being drunk, A FAMILY QUARREL. Johu Tfas cared by Mary ItlgGildion, hoot and shoe maker, of tfoorfield's,lor stealing a go.d and silver watch, a gold bracelet, two gold rings, and other property. Mr. Bluck defended the prisoner. l'he prosecutrix stated that the Pr4oner was the manager of her business, in the nicchaitioal department. He' was grandson of her hus band, and some time ago, while she was ill, she We the keys of the safe to the pri, sorter for business purposes. and, as she alleged, he took the pro perty and pledged iy. ' dp masTexamination by Mr. Black, she admitted' that since her husbaud's.death, last Christnr a, the Prisoner conducted her business, but she denied that heft . authority to pledge the property, a lth oug h s h e gave biro the keys of the safe, some time ago, when she was ill. She denied that the prisoner pledged the property in order to get money to carry on the b4sittess, as lie could get leather on credit for six months. She also denied that she was a drunkard, but, could take a glass. Mr. Bluck showed that the property was pledged by the prisoner, and the money used for shop pur poses ; and the magistrate, thinking there was no felony, discharged the prisoner.. . THE ROUL • • • R.

GREAT AND IMPORTANT SALE.-011 the 12t1 of Jo.no and for ten days afterwards, Mr. Branch will bs engaged in the sale by auction of the valuable and important plant and machinery of the Liver Ironwoncs in this town, belonging to Messrs. Thomas Pearson and Co., who are declining the business. This, for . dtration, probably, be the largest sale which has eve' taken place in Liverpool, and the catalogue, a heaiy volume, is quite a curiosity in its way. There are as many lots almost as there are years in the Christian epoch ; and how the auctioneer is to get through the whole, even in the lengthened period allotted, would Seem a mystery, except to those familiar with Mr. Brunch's dexterous professional skill and high business oaalifications. On sales of this character taking place in the provinces, the common practice is to engage some first-class London auctioneer ; there are, however, so many skilful and eminent auctioneers in Liverpool, 'hat the practice tneY well be departed from so far as this district is concerned; and Mr. Branch, we may be assund, amidst all the pres sure of his other extensive lisiress, will be more than equal to the occasion.

The flag is intend' represent the amity that exists betwp.- • • s countr and the United States. - a"ll who have seen n it admire the § II C- -a _ l _nee of the idea. The dimensiena of the flag are 36 by 18 f ee t, th e grouu d b e i ng a blue slig h tly tinged with purple, Tn the centre, on the dexter hand is flyan g th •ficrure of Thritumni n , with U."' coilchant, an d a trident in he r right hand, supported by an imperial' crown, in gold. On the sinister hand is a figure representing America- with a bow and a quiver. of arrows, and the American - eagle, supported by $ star, in gold, to correspond with the crown. Between , yet joining the two figures is' a large flag combining the "stars and stripes" of America and the union jack and, • Q--earge's ensign of E ng l an d i n t h e usual colour s 0' these flags. The idea is quite original, and altogether the flag is is novelty and is much admired. It i 9 intended' for'the private flag of Mr. Decosta's ships. OUR HOSPITALS AND 1103ICEOPA.THY IN 1860.—D r * D.
