COURT OF PASSAGE.-YESTERDAY. (Before Edward JAMES, Esq., Q. C. Assessor.) The Court of Passage for the Borough of Liverpool, com menced yesterday in the Nisi Prius Court, St. George's Hall. The causes on the list for trial, three being special jury cases, number 64, but on the sitting of the Court at nine o'clock, nearly fifteen of those, being undefended, were struck out. LIVERPOOL ADELPHI LOAN ASSOCIATION 'V FAIRHURST AND WIFE.—Mr. Blants, instructed by Mr. Hume, was . counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Millward, instructed by Mr. Robey, appeared for the defendants. The action was brought under the following circumstances :—lt appears that a person of the name of Brassey was in the habit of getting loans from the Association, and that the defendant's wife was generally one of his securities. In 1848, Brassey obtained a loan of £3O from the Association, his securities being two parties named Brown and Costain, and the female defendant. She signed the paper with the signature " Jane Lloyd," her maiden name, though she had been married to the defendant in 1847, and this it was now alleged she did through false and fraudulent motives. £2l of the loan was paid, and one of the securities being dead, and the other away, the defendant, who is a journeyman painter, was sued for the balance. He denied his liability, and the present action was accordingly brought to try the case. On the part of the defendant it was denied that the motives were false or fraudulent, the wife coliceiling that it was a mere matter of form, and signing accordingly the name which she had always signed on such occasions. The jury, who were in deliberation during ;the day, came into Court about four o'clock, and stated they could not agree; but the parties in the case not being willing that they should be discharged, they were again sent back to their room for further deliberation. The jury evidently gave a verdict for the plaintiff for £ll, with costs. CARNEY V. BELL. The plaintiff is Mr. John Carney, poulterer, St. John's Market, and the defendant is Mr. Bell, dealer in live stock, Liverpool. The action was brought to recover £37 7s. Hid. for goods sold, for money lent, and for money due on an account. The defendant denied that he was indebted, but did not appear either personally or by counsel. Mr. Aspinall, instructed by Mr. Yates, junr., was the counsel for the plaintiff, for whom a verdict was returned. WHITE and WIFE V. Hoox and WIFE.—In the declara tion in this case, the first count charged the defendant particularly the female defendant, with assaulting ' the female Dlajntiff,.imprisoning her, dragging her through the streets, and so forth ; and the second count charged the female defendant with assaulting the female plaintiff on a subsequent occasion, with dragging her through the streets, imprisoning her in the defendant's house, giving her in charge to a police constable, who took her at the defendant's instance through the public streets to the bridewell, then before a magistrate at the police office, and ultimately to gaol, where she was kept on remand for seven days, thereby entailing on her serious injury and loss. Damages were laid at £5, and the defendant pleaded not guilty, upon which issue was joined. Mr. M'Aubrey, instructed by Mr. Grace, was counsel for the plaintiff, and from his state ment, it appeared that the plaintiff is a fireman on board the `" Arabia" American Mail-boat, and the defendant a publican, in Moffet-street, off Russell-street, Toxteth-park. It further appeared that the plaintiff's son was bound to the defendant, and that he left his employment in consequence, as it was alleged, of insufficiency of payment. On the 17th May, the female plaintiff was at the house of the defendant, and on that occasion Mrs. Hook charged her with receiving a sovereign from her (Mrs. Hook's) youngest son, knowing it to have been stolen. Upon this some words arose, and after considerably altercation the female plaintiff was given into custody. She was liberated after a short time ; but on the morning of the 19th of May, Mrs. Hook, and a constable called at the house of the female plaintiff, who keeps a small shop for the sale of confectidhary and vegetables, and the constable demanded of her the sovereign, threatening in the event of refusal, " to burst her boiler." (Laughter.) The female' plaintiff again denied having received the sovereign, upon which she was taken into custody by the constable, and the injuries set forth in the second count of the declaration were inflicted on her. — Mrs. White, and other witnesses, were then examined, and deposed to the facts stated by counsel. Mrs. White posi tively denied having received the sovereign, or having in, any way, or at any time, asked the defendant's son to take money from the till.—Mr. Aspinall, instructed by . Messrs. Francis and Almond, appeared for the defendant. He admitted the imprisonment, but said that witnesses would be produced, whose evidence would show that his client was fully justified in the courses he. had adopted towards the plaintiff.—Mrs. Hook was then examined. She deposed to having given the plaintiff into custody on the first occasion, in consequence of the noise she was making in the shop ; and that she had her arrested on the 19th of May, because she had admitted in the presence of witness, and other, parties, that she had received the sovereign.—Two other witnesses also deposed to this admission ; and the son of the defendant, a boy about eleven years of age, positively swore to having given' the female plaintiff the sovereign, and also to having been'fre quently incited by her to steal money 4om the till, pro mising to repay him by weekly instalmetts.—After a brief deliberation, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, COSGROVE V. OWENS.—The plaintiff is a lorry-driver, and the defendant a master-carter. The action was brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation for the less of his eye caused by the negligence of the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff was in the employ of the defendant, and that on the Ist of last July he was loading his lorry at one of the docks. The defendant was present assisting, and' the plaintiff alleged that he had frequently cautioned him during the day as to the negligent and improper manner in which he was using the hook. It would appear that his caution was but too necessary, for as a bale of merchandise was being hoisted into the lorry it slipped, and the hook entered the plaintiff's left eye, completely fracturing the ball. He was three weeks in hospital, and was altogether nine weeks un employed in consequence of the accident. Mr. Aspinall, in structed by Mr. Yates, appeared for the plaintiff; but the defendant did not appear either personally or by counsel. Verdict for the plaintiff, £2O damages, and costs. BRODRICE a. FOWLER.—The plaintiff, Sarah Brodrick, is an old woman over seventy years of age, and the defendant, Mr. Fowler, is a car-owner, Walnut-street ; and the action was brought to recover compensation for injury sustained by the plaintiff, through th 3 careless driving of William Roberts, his servant. From the statement of Mr. Aspinall, who, in structed by Mr. Campbell, appeared for the plaintiff, it seemed that on the 28th of July last, the plaintiff was crossing James's-street, and that when about two yards from the parapet she was knocked down by the cart of the defendant, which was at the time driven by one of his servants, William Roberts. She was much shaken by the fall ; her leg was broken, and her general health, which up to that period was most excellent, was considerably im paired. It further appears that Roberts subsequently, ad mitted that he had been driving very fast on the occasion of the accident, and that Mr. Fowler promised the plaintiff's son to make some recompense to his mother for her injuries. The plaintiff was then examined, but from her extreme deaf ness, which was produced as she alleged by the accident, her answers being ever wide of the mark, caused considera ble merriment in Court. She could merely testify to hav ing been run over, and to the injuries she had sustained. Her son was also examined, and stated that the driver had admitted to him that he was driving fast at the time, hav ing four " we ddinners " (Laughter) or a wedding party, in the car who wanted to catch the boat. He also deposed to the defendant having promised to recompense his mother, observing that it was much better to arrange the matter amicably, than to give the money to the lawyers, who were all d--d rogues. (Laughter.) Mr. Atkinson, instructed by Mr. Owen, appeared for the defendant, and while ad mitting the accident, contended that it was one which no care on the part of the driver could prevent. Several wit nesses were examined to prove that the driver was not cul pable in the matter ; and the driver himself denied that he had ever made any admission as to the speed at which he Arivine. Verdict for the plaintff, £5 damages, with costs. COUNTY v COURT. --ESTERDAT. (BEFORE JOSEPH POLLOCK, EsQ.) The Court sat at ten o'clock on yesterday. His Honour delivered judgment in the following cases : BEAD v. WINN.—It will be remembered that this was an action brought against a man who had left this country, and been in Australia for some years. The question which arose, was whether the service of a summons at the residence occ.ipied by his wife in Liverpool was sufficient to justify rendering the property there liable. His Honour held that the servicewas not sufficient. KERR v. PENNINGTON.—This was an action tried last ' week to recover damages for the worrying of plaintiff's sheep, by defendant's dog. His Honour ordered a nonsuit to be entered, but gave the plaintiff leave to amend his action by entering a plaint in trespass within the space of a week. RUDD V. FAIRCLOUGH.—In this case an action was brought to recover £2O, for a month's interest upon a sum of £2,000. The objection raised by Mr. Blair was, that the aggregate of the principal, which was to be paid by instalments, remaining still unpaid amounted to a sum which exceeded the jurisdiction of the Court, and that the plaintiff had no right to split his action. It was contended by Mr. Blair that the plaintiff should either abandon any further claims or be nonsuited. Mr. Aspinall, for plaintiff, argued the point and declined to abandon the claim. His Honour • ordered a nonsuit to be entered. AIKEN P. BAINES.— Judgment for the defendant in this case was ordered to stand. COMMITMENT SUMMONSES.—His Honour then disposed of some commitment summonses, none of which appeared t 3 possess any public importance. INsorvENT CASES.—FinaI orders were granted to Eliza beth Hann and Samuel Hulse. The Court adjourned at twelve o'clock. ISSUE OF RECEIPT STAMPS AT MANCHESTER, — since the new Stamp Act came into operation on the 10th instant, there has been issued from the Manchester Stamp . office the large number of 456,000 penny the value of £1,900. receipt stamps, of VALUE OF THREAD FOR LACK,---Some thread made at Hainault and Brabant, has actually been spun by hand of so exquisite a texture as to be sold..at the rate of 10,000 f., or upwards of £4OO for a single pound weight. 1 , . LORD CLAR_ENDON ON THE EASTERN QUESTION. On Friday, a deputation, headed by T. S. Dun combe, Esq., M.P., waited upon the Earl of Claren cbait, for the purpose of presenting to his Lordship an Address on the Eastern Question, which had been agreed to at a recent meeting in Finsbury- Mr. DIINCOMBE, in introducing the deputation, said that, a meeting having been held of the inhabitants of the borough of 'Finsbury, for the purpose of considering the present position of the Russo-Turkish question, certain resolutions were passed at that meeting .condemning the practice of secrecy in diplomacy, not applying particularly to the present Administration, but condemning the practice . generally, as calculated to keep the people of this country in ignorance as regarded their foreign relations. The other resolutions re ferred to the misunderstanding at present existing between Russia and Turkey ; and the meeting pledged itself, in terms not to be misunderstood, to give to her Majesty's Government every support, moral as well as material, which might be neces sary to resist the encroachments of Russia, and to preserNie the integrity of the Ottoman empire. These sentiments were embodied in an address, which was read, and embodied the resolutions adopted at the meeting. The Earl of CLARENDON, having heard the address, said—There is one portion of your address in which I am sure you will not expect me to concur, and that is the passage in which it is alleged that the character of this country for fair dealing has been damaged, and is in danger of being lost. Now, that assertion, in as far as this Government is concerned, I am prepared altogether to deny. You will not expect me at this moment to enter into any details as to the policy of the Government; but when the time comes for so doing, I trust that the people of England will consider that the Government have done their duty, that they have flinched from no obligation, and that the national honour has remained untarnished in their hands. With respect. to the other matter to which Mr. Duncombe has alluded—the mysterious veil which is thrown over The diplomacy of this country—l can assure you that, personally, no one more sin cerely than myself regretted that a mense of public duty alone obliged the Government to withhold explanations on this question, which has so long and so greatly agitated and excited the public mind. There is no one more fully than myself recognises the entire right of the people of this country to be clearly informed of all the acts of the servants of the Crown, and minutely to scrutinise those acts when they have come to their knowledge. This has always been the practice as regards do mestic affairs,. but in foreign affairs you will admit that there is necessarily a different practice. In that case, not only our own affairs but those of foreign nations are concerned ; and having had personally a good deal of experience in such mat ters, not only in this country but abroad, I can assure you that, difficult as negotiations sometimes are now, carried on in the ordinary way, they would become absolutely impossible if at each progressive stage they were to be brought before the public, and to become the subject of public discussion—of open and free discussion, as in the case of our domestic affairs. Therefore it is not from the slightest wish to favour mystery that the proceedings, not only of this, but of all Govern ments, are withheld from the public while in an incomplete state, but it is from the danger of defeating our own objects, from a sense of what is due to the public interest, that not only this, but all Governments and all Parliaments have sanc tioned the practice—have declined the production of papers till the negotiations to which they re ferred had been brought to a conclusion. When the affairs are concluded, then the public have the right, through Parliament or otherwise, of having the documents submitted to them, and of appro ving or condemning the conduct of the Govern ment. Now, with respect to the question more immediately at issue, I have no hesitation in telling you that a peaceful solution of this question has been the object of her Majesty's Government. It would be highly criminal if the Government sought any other solution. Those who know what are the calamities of war do not rush lightly into it, and it is our object, if possible, to guard ourselves, but more especially Turkey, from those calamities. But, on the other hand, I consider that there is 4.1 r. ears myrn r , nv.. - 1 +ll.+ is TIOf;ATIO1 dishonour, a price at which, I can assure you, peace will not be preserved by her Majesty's Government. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) As I said at first, I will not enter at any length into the details of the policy we are pursuing, but content myself with saying that we are so fully alive.to the British and European importance of maintaining the Ottoman empire, that the deputation may rest assured twat there is not the slightest intention on the part of her Majesty's Government of abandon ing Turkey. (Hear, hear.) FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER M DTV A Y THIRTY-TWO LIVES LOST. On Thursday a most awful catastrophe occurred at Had low, which has hurried to an untimely grave no less than 32 human beings, —men, women, and children. The cir cumstances of this terrible calamity are briefly as follow : For some little time past, Mr. Cox, an extensive farmer and hop grower of Hadlow, has had a number of persons, principally from the counties of Surrey and Berks, in his em ploy picking hops, in addition to the resident labourers. It is customary when the picking has been finished for the day, and the hops measured, to convey the people home to the vil lage in waggons. Accordingly, on Thursday evening last, between six and seven o'clock, a waggon filled with the home dwellers, left the Hadlow hop grounds, and proceeded to wards Tudely, crossing the Upper Great Hartlake bridge, over the Rive - : Medway, in safety. This bridge is very old, and is built principally of wood ; it has a descent on either side of about eight feet in forty, with a close boarded fence, between two and three feet in height ; and on the Tudely side the road curves a little to the left, oak slabs, in a rotten state, supporting it for some little distance. At this spot there is a depth from the road of about eight feet, which is generally dry, but now, owing to the recent rains, it is covered with water, and thus the width as Well as the depth of the river is considerably increased. The bridge is forty-two feet across, and nine feet three inches wide. The first waggon-load of hoppers having been con veyed to its destination, the second waggon, containing forty, if not more persons, followed (the unfortunate creatures singing merrily, as usual), at the rate of two or three miles an hour. At the ascent of the bridge, the waggoner desired the hoppers to discontinue singing, as it might frighten - the horses, which was immediately complied with. The fore horse had crossed the crown of- the bridge, and was descend ing on the Tudely side, when its foot slipped, from the pieces of iron placed on the roadway to give a sure footing ; it gave a sudden plunge, which disconnected it l':om the wag gon, and the shaft-horse at the same time leaning a little to the right, had the effect of forcing the hind part of the wag gon against the fence on the off-side, which immediately gave way, and the waggon with its contents was precipitdted into the river •beneath. The scene that presented itself at dren all huddled together, in ;.antic terror, were Striving to escape destruction, but their efforts only tended to increase the hopelessness of their position. !As sistance was promptly obtained, and by the *aid of lanterns, the face of the' river', was examined, but it was too late •; the mass of human beings, with the exception of eight, had sunk to its bottom. For upwards -of half an hour after the occurrence cries for help were heard, but the unhappy creatures could not be discovered. One little Irish lad was found about twenty rods down the stream with a piece of fence, which he had clung to in his agony, Still fixed in his hand. He was up to his middle in water, and was speedily rescued from his agonizing. position. The poor fellow's garments were torn to shreds by the unfortunate creatures clinging to them for support ; and there is no doubt, had his clothes consisted of a less fragile material, his life would also have been sacrificed. The waggoner's mate was sitting on the side of the waggon, talking to his little boy, just as the accident happened : and, although he attempted to snatch his child from the wagon, he was un able to do so, owing to the close manner in which it Was packed ; and he only escaped by throwing himself in 'the opposite direction. The bailiff's life was saved in a similar manner. During Thursday night and Friday the river Was searched in all directions, and six bodies were recovered— five females and one man. An inquest was held on the bodies recovered, on Saturday, and after the examination of one or two witnesses, who spoke to the facts detailed above, the Coroner summed up, and in doing so, recommended the substitution of a stone or brick bridge for the present one, with store copings. The jury consulted together for a short time, and then returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," with a recom mendation to the River Medway Company to erect a new bridge. The following is a list of the persons who are now miss ing :—Samuel Leatherland and five children, Mrs. Brusling ton, Mary Mahony, Mary Bruslington t Sarah Taylor, Mrs. Howard, Jeremiah Murphy, Catherine Donovan, Mary Quin, Bridget King, Matthew King, Ellen Collins, Catherine Roach, Harry Donovan, Stephen Taylor, Taylor, (child), William Elsley, Mary Elsley, (wife), Ellen Dono van, Knight, (child) ; man, woman, and child unknoWn. It is estimated that the weight of the waggon, with its contents, was about two tons. The waggoner says that he has passed over the bridge with four tons. - SEVENTY-SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. The Melbourne papers, received by the Eagle, contain a long account of the celebration of the 77thl anniversary of American independence in that town on the 4th of July, and as some of the gentlemen who took part in the proceedings are well known, and not less respected in the Liverpool Ex change, we have no doubt the following abridged report will be read with interest by many of our townsmen. We would particularly draw attention to the lively, and indeed eloquent address of GEORGE F. TRAIN, Esq. The Melbourne Argus says " the 4th July, being a day ever memorable in the annals of the great republic of the New World, a large number of the denizens of Melbourne, who trace their na tivity from that land of republican equality, smart notions, and go-a head doings in business, met together in the great room, at Hockin's, late Passniore's Hotel, to celebrate the oc casion with all the usual festivities and form. Covers were laid for 160 ' • and the number assembled went considerably beyond that figure. Dinner being over, and the cloth hav ing been removed, the famous declaration of American inde pendence was read, and received with much applause. Mr. Train acknowledged the subject, by reading an ora tion which had been composed for the occasion. The address recalled to the mind of those present that this was the first occasion on which they had met to celebrate this day, which was, as it were, the birthday of their nation. Americans could almost forget that in Melbourne they were not in New York. The following toasts were then proposed in succession:— " The day we celebrate ;" " Her most gracious Majesty the Queen of England ;" " The President ;" " Prince Albert and the rut of the Royal Family of England ;" "The memory of those who signed the Declaration of Independ ence ;" " The memory of George Washington." On the next toast being proposed,—" The Armies and Navies of Great Britain and America,—may harmony and friendship ever reign between them,"—the toast being drunk with enthusiasm, the band played first, " Rule Bri tannia," and afterwards " Yankee Doodle." The two airs alternately excited much national enthusiasm : nothing un pleasant however occurred. Mr. GARDENER, then, in a neat and appropriate speech, proposed " The Public Press of Melbourne and Victoria." He briefly dwelt on the influence of mind acting with mind upon the advancing civilisation of the age. A free press was necessary to the existence of a free and enlightened people. England, with a press cramped by taxation, had yet to boast of a great and influential press ; while France, which might be considered the hot-bed of European civili sation, at this moment, was altogether deprived of the bulwark of freedom, and consequently was enslaved. In this land the press was free, and it was consequently vigor ous and enlightened. Upon the chair giving "Massachusetts," it was duly honoured in the manner usual to Americans. Mr. Geo. Francis Train responded to the toasts. He said—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, most cheerfully do I rise to reply to the sentiment which every Massachusetts man must feel a thrill of pleasure in responding to ; and although my proper place, it would seem to me, would be to hide myself in the shadow of the many eloquent gentle men present, who have the happy faculty of using the En glish language in a manner that cannot fail to interest you, I must beg permission fo say a word in telling you how much I appreciate the courtesy. Massachusetts is my native place, and I assure you I feel proud in representing her this evening. I was born beneath the shade of Faneuil Hall. My school-boy days were passed among her forest hills, and my mercantile experience I obtained amid the shipping of her capital. I love her as my natural mother, and notwithstanding my being so many leagues away, I cannot easily forget her sacred memory : but she needs no eulogy from me. In the magic words of her great dead statesmen, " There is Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill, and there will they remain .for ever." The prolific land that has given birth to a Franklin, an Alston, and a Story, reads in their works her beautiful history. Her statesmen—her histo rians—her . painters and her orators—her merchants and hermechamcs, rank high in that which makes men great ! Look at her merchant marine—note the magnificent fleet of clipper ships she has launched within a few short years, and observe the progress in their modelling; you have them, within a very short period, all the way from a sugar box to a pilot-yacht ! Remember that The clipper ship that won the race, Owns Boston as her native place ; Donald M‘Kay may well feel proud, To build the flag-ship Flying Cloud ! Not satisfied with having built the fastest ship, he is now about completing the largest in the world ! A ship 330 feet long, 53 feet breadth, and 30 in debth, a three-decker with four masts, and to register 4000 tons ? Need I tell you Mr. Chairman, she is to be called the Young America ! This is the age of progress—and surprised we cannot be at anything that may happen. If any man of good sense should tell me that he anticipated taking a voyage round , the world, with only a single shirt to his back, and a dicky in his hat, in some patent air-navigating baloon—or that England and Ameriea were shortly to be Siamese Twins, by means of a submarine magnetic wire—or that some promising son had discovered a patent for living without eating —or walking wnite sitting in Ins cnair—or a thousand and one incredible things, I should want to reflect a moment before I began to laugh.—" America has been making rapid strides in improvement. Iler land is crossed with railroads, lined with electric wire— _ _ _ " The steed called lightning, say the Fates, Was owned in the United States— Twas Franklin's hand that caught the horse, _ _ ' Twas harnessed by Professor gorse." Let us jump on board a Collins steamship, and shake hands with our relations on Albion's shores. Observe the good feeling that has existed between us, and my prayer shall ever be that the same cordial spirit between the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon race shall continue and increase under the beautiful flag of our own happy land and the strong arm of England, till the last wave breaks on the shores of eternity ! May no barrier spring up to mar the happiness of either, and why should they not ever be on the best of terms,—the gifted mother and the progressive child ? Compare their histories, and in many features you can but detect a strong family resemblance—in the one . you have an acknowledged republic—in the other the great Talleyrand tells us you have the " republic in disguise"—each free, and both with a broad and liberal government. Really they are not so much unlike. Go back to earlier days. While we were stirred by the burning eloquence of Patrick Henry and his compatriots, she was listening to the immortal Burke and the men of his day. If the same domestic fire side has given England two Premiers, so was the old Bay state furnished America with two Presidents from the same family ; for while she may speak of the eloquent Chatham and the wondrous boy-premier William Pitt, we can but remember the elder Adams and his son " the old man elo quent !" One from each land died in full honours while in the councils of their respected nations ! Look at Eng. land's stupendous monuments of genius. Go and see that leviathan piece of mechanism of Stephenson's, the Tubular Bridge ; walk through the Thames Tunnel, and stop a mo ment at the Crystal Palace,—and you will find wonders arti ficial as great in magnitde as in Niagara Falls and the Mammoth Cave in America, you have them natural ! Go with me to Chatsworth, the most beautiful palace in Europe ; and here the princely owner, whom I was honoured by meet ing on the banks of the Menai, will tell you of what Mr. Paxton has done. Industry and enterprise is England's excelsior motto as well as ours. We have taken many a leaf from her book, and have oftentimes rested beneath the wide-spreading branches of her gigantic oak, which covers one hundred and fifty millions of her people. Even now.we have to see what takes place in the world through England. Read that mammoth engine of the Press , that bears the same relation to England, that the Y. Herald does to America, the London Times, and you will see a daily history of the world. But enough of the land of my nativity, where I have spent so many gala days. Enough of England, where, in that great commercial port, Liverpool, I first learnt the true meaning of hospitality. A twelvemonth (among her mer chants, I can judge something of their dispositions, for -x li aQ •Irk n Tan] AQ much at home as though I had been with them as many years. I say enough of the land where I was born, and the land where I sojourned so short a time : but a word for the land of my adoption—Australia ! my new home ! May its precious treasure shed a peaceful light throughout the social circle, and develope a gold-field of happiness to all who have been drawn beneath its magnet. Australia! the brightest star in the whole British galaxy ! May it continue to shine over the pathway of the weary emigrant until he has found the haven for which he has so long sought ! Australia ! the great El Dorado of the Southern Ocean ! May the time be not far distant when we shall show the good effects of her yellow harvest in building a railroad to Sydney and to Adelaide, and every other commercial town in the Colony, with a magnetic telegraph for a companion. May this wonderful town continue to grow and widen until it has eaten up all the surrounding villages ; and may the facilities for business keep pace with the wants of her people. The criminal can no longer be seen among your people, and its emancipation is a subject for rejoicing. Several other toasts were proposed and amongst others Mr. THROCKMORTON proposed " the British and American Army and Navy," and coupled therewith the names of Colonel Valliant and Lieutenant Morris. If these things ever came to pass America would maintain them both. (Drunk amid loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in responding to his health being drunk, dwelt upon the unison of feeling that must ever exist be tween England. and America. Had the British Government behaved towards the United States as it had done towards the Australian colonies, she would no doubt have still re tained possession of them, (hear, hear) but her course of policy was diderent. He delighted in the feeling of amica bility which existed between the two nations, and he felt sure that the commerce of the United States and England would have no rival in the whole world. (Loud cheers.) Several other volunteer toasts were given, and the pro ceedingsbrolonged to an early hour in the morning amid the greatest hilarity and enthusiasm, peculiarly characteristic of the American feelings upon an occasion which is so much reverenced by the American citizen at home or abroad. THE PUBLTC DEBT.-It seems by a return to Parliament, that in the year ended the sth January the in terest on the permanent public debt was £23,637,936. THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. EARLY CLOSING To THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TrAts. SIR-I have this morning received the following anonymous communication ; and as there is no way of reaching an anonymous correspondent, except through the PRESS, perhaps you will allow me to anticipate his threat of bringing its vengeful power upon my head, by publishing his letter---the original of which I send you : " Liverpool, 14th Oct., 1853. " Mr. Flower, "Sin—l have passed your Establishment several times after Seven o'clock in the evening, and it has been in variably open, and from the appearance I expect it would remain so for some time. I have asked myself the question, is this the same Mr. F. who but a few years since was a shopman in Mt. Dismore's, in the same street ; and could write a very good essay on the needs be of early closing, for a variety of persons, so that young men in shops should not be slaves. Two copies of the essay I took myself, to help on the cause. To be consistent, let me beg of you to look at your old master's shop at Seven o'clock, and if pos sible be ashamed of yourself, and do as you wished others to do, when, you were yourself an employed. " I am Sin, yours, &c., "A LOOKER ON." P.S.—lf you still keep open after seven, you may hear from me again through the press.— Now, Mr. Editor, although I hold that no man is bound to notice au anonymous letter, and although I could have wished that this letter had been couched in more respectful. terms, yet for the sake of the good cause of EARLY cr.osING, I shew the writer a greater courtesy than he deserves, by bringing his effusion before the world, and pleading my defence. When my anonymous friend refers with so much pathos to my aged master, does he know that my said master, good venerable man, has always been, and still is, one of the sturdiest opponents of the Early Closing Movement ? Does he know that my venerable master discharged me from his employ, for no other reason than for my determined and unflinching advocacy of that movement ? —Does he know that the present early closing of my venerable master, is one of the fruits of my labour,—that it has not grown out of the convictions of his own mind, but is the effect of a great pressure from without—that movement and that pressure having indissolubly associated respectability with seven o' clock-closing:?— Does he know that after my venerable master had discharged me, I devoted three months, solely and ex clusively, to the work of emancipating the , shopkeepers'- assistants from the slavery of late hours in business ; having, during all that time, two clerks and two messengers con stantly employed in the work, attending in the office longer hours than the assistants were in their shops, and working harder than most of them in their daily labours ?—Does he know how many papers were written, printed, and circulated during that time ? —how many Town Hall sittings by day, and committees late at night, were then held ?—what public meetings were got up, and how the eminent speakers thereat were instructed in the merits of the case, and brought to lift their voices in favour of the assistants? —Let him refer to the newspapers of that period, and let-him note some of the gentlemen who took part in those meetings, whether I laboured with energy and industry in the cause—l will not say at what personal sacrifice of time and money. From the time of commencing business on my own ac count, and for eight years my shop was regularly closed at seven o'clock on every evening of the week, and at all seasons of the year. When I removed to my present house, new rivals in trade had sprung up in my immediate neighbour hood. After many unsuccessful endeavours to bring them into the same rule, and finding I lost business by closing, while others, close by me, kept open, I was at length Com pelled, in self-defence, to keep open likewise—thus acting, by compulsion, contrary to the principles I had always avowed, and still as strongly entertain. In this I am, as my anonymous friend desires me to be, " ashamed" of my self ; and I am still more ashamed of my neighbours, whose determined opposition has thus far forced me to depart from the good rule. But perhaps there is still hope of my refor mation, for the difficulties are now lessened—in fact reduced to one instance of opposition—that instance being one res pected firm, my close neighbours, whom I have repeatedly asked to join me in adhering to the good rule of closing at seven. I now ask them publicly to do so, and I pledge myself that if they comply with the request, I will pumtually observe it. Their trade, I believe, like my own, does not lie among persons who are likely to be late purchasers; and whatever respectable competition may exist, I have no desire to compete with any who may find their account in cultivating a connexion with the fashionable inhabitants of Williamson-square, and Hotham-street.— Those who aim so high may have the field all to themselves so far as I am concerned. • I hope I have said enough to satisfy my anonymous cor respondent, who has proved himself a friend indeed to early closing, by the fact of his having spent a shilling upon my essay—and if he will improve his spelling, and mind his manners, I shall be happy to aid him in any efforts he may make towards a more general closing of shops at seven o'clock. lam, Mr. Editor, yours respectfull E. FLOWER, Dold-ktreet. 22nd Oct.. 1853 IW e have reaS , m. to know that the events which Mr. Flower here records are but kportion of the labours he has bestowed upon the early closing movement. We know that for years previous to the period he speaks of, he was ear nestly, though not publicly, engaged in the work, and we believe that his domestic and social enjoyments, and even his hours of rest, frequently give place to the work which he had adopted as a duty.—En. N. D. TrmEs.) CANADA The Quebec Mercury publishes the following speech of W. Jackson, Esq., M. P., at an entertainment given at that place. Wm. Jackson, Esq., rose and said :—There are periods in a man's life when he is called upon to speak plainly. At this railway meeting a few railway remarks are expected from me, and you will excuse MC, if for a few moments, I am rather dry. With the eyes of all men upon me I hardly know how to begin, or how to finish. The way in which I am surrounded, is such that I never can forget the dis tinguished honour done to me. I had no right to expect it. But I may speak of my . associates of whom I am justly proud. They have carried into effect, undertakings in Nor way, Belgium, Italy and Egypt, having completed works to the extent of millions, and never had a dispute, The firm with:which I am associated esteem the value of character, and will not sacrifice the value on this side of the Atlantic. We have come here, courting no man's favor, and fearing no man's frown. What we have undertaken, we shall fulfil, and to show the earnestness of my speech, I may be per mitted to remark that since Mr. Betts and myself left Great Britain, forty-six ships have sailed for North America on our account. We have endeavoured to anticipate your anticipations, by an outlay of capital, and by bring ing to an early completion those lines of road for which we have contracted. Even th ,, ugh ill should come of it, we have resolved to take our chance. We do not, however, ap prehend loss. Your country has wonderful resources, and will repay any outlay of capital however great. When I went home last fall, I was full of the most sanguine expec tations till I was almost afraid to communicate them to any associates, but. one of our firm, the most cold of any 'has come with me, and he is fully sensible of the great railway traffic which will yet be in this province, a province which is fast hastening to independence, and which is even now fit companion for older countries. Eventually it will be hide pendent. But turning from that point, nowhere have we received such heartfelt kindness as in this city of Quebec, which used to be, after the Ist December, the Cul-de-Sac of Canada, from which we must now relieve the young ladies. * * * * * * • * * The railway system cheapens the transport of sawn timber. 17,000,000 of feet will pass over the line to Portland in a year, and indeed the whole produce of the Ottawa will find its way to market by the railroad instead of in the raft. Mr. Jackson next alluded to the suddenly getting rich rumours, and said : —lt had been said that their firm had placed at the disposal of a membor of the ministry £50,000. nu - ("mica. cue statement. He could say positively that neither directly or indirect) , had any newspaper or minister been corrupted by the firm to which he belonged. The press had accused him of being adverse to the North Shore Rail road, but he could not accuse himself of having been so. He hoped the enterprise would succeed. The North Shore road would rather be an advantage to that on the south shore than otherwise. The steamboat companies would only suffer, for travellers would come to Quebec by the North Shore, and return by the South. Mr. Jackson then spoke of his travels through the pro vince, lauded its resources, and sat down amid great applause. LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN, AND SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM COMPANIES.—It appears that the state ment in the public prints, to the effect that Vice-Chancellor Wood had granted an injunction, on the application of , the London and North Western, restraining the Shrewsbury and Birmingham from running trains over the Stour Valley, is not so, but that the matter is to stand over for reference es to tolls, &c., until the first week in next month. EXTRAORDINARY CASE----CLIFDEN SESSIONS.--Mary Kyne, an infant, by John Kyne her father, v. Michael Nlulroe.—This case excited a good deal of painful sympathy. It appeared in the course of the evidence that the defendant owned a pig of singular ferocity, which attacked a little girl of six years of age, sister to the infant plaintiff; some weeks ago, and the hild with difficulty escaped from it, and that although the defendant had notice of this circum stance from the parents of the ehild, he did not take sufficient precaution to prevent the animal from committing the atrocity now complained of, and on the first September, while the parents of the child were digging their breakfast, the pig went into the house, dragged the little child, two years old, from her cradle, cat off one of her hands com pletely, and three fingers of the other, when the mother at tracted by the creature's cries, rescued her. The poor Child was in court, and the wounds presented a most distressing spectacle. On the part of the defendant ownership to the pig was denied ; but his wershipconsidering it clearly proved, decreed that the defendant should pay 410, by yearly instal ments of £2 each, to be placed in Lord Leitrim's hands, as landlord of the parties, to be invested for the benefit of the child, and not to be handed to the parents, lest the child may net derive the benefit from it. —Galway Packet. ,POLICE COURTS.-YESTERDAY. LIVERPOOL. A sailor was charged with bringing ashore out of a vessel lilb. of foreign manufactured tobacco and cigars. It appeared that he had brought his luggage ashore into the Nelson Dock, when it was examined, after which he returned to the ship and brought out the tobacco and cigars.—He was fined 20s. A man named John Stubbs was charged by a woman, in whose house he lodged, with stealing 3s. 4d. from her. It appeared that the prisoner borrowed the money under pre tence of releasing some clothes, and left the house taking with him what articles of property he had there, and did not return. The prosecutor met him by chance in Soho street, and had him arrested. It was stated by the police officer that the prisoner had obtained £3 from the Rev. Dr. Raffles, but that gentleman was not in town at present. The case was accordingly ordered to stand over until to-morrow. ESCAPING FROM PRlSON.—Charles Robinson Bromley, chief warder of the borough gaol, appeared to prosecute a man named John Smith, for having escaped while under going his sentence. It appeared that in October, 1852, the prisoner was tried at the sessions, committed for felony, and sentenced to twelve months imprisonment with hard labour. While in gaol he was put to work in a joiner's shed, which was erected against the rear wall of the gaol. On the night of the 20th of December, prisoner was seen by the warder safe iu his cell, next morning, shortly before seven o'clock, the warder saw a roughly constructed ladder placed upon the joiner's shed and reaching to the top of the wall, a height of from fifteen to eighteen feet. On further exam ination it was discovered that the prisoner had escaped by this means. On the 19th of January, police constable John Marks saw the prisoner in Paradise-street, at the corner of Cable-street; when prisoner saw the officer he ran away, but was pursued and apprehended. He was brought back to the prison, and the twelvemonths having now expired, the warder was directed to prosecute him for the escape. The prisoner had been out of gaol nearly a month when he was arrested. Court :—This is a case which the recorder must deal with, and I shall send you before him. Infor mations were accordingly ordered. ROBBERIES OF WEARING APPAREL.—Sarah Lunt, was charged with stealing three dresses, two shawls, and a scarf, the property of her sisters-in-law, Mary Lunt. Prosecutrix said prisoner came to her house on Saturday night, a little the worse for liquor, and asked for her husband; she told her he was not there, and prisoner then went to search the house for him. Prosecutrix proceeded for a policeman, and whilst away, the robbery was committed. Remanded for seven days.- Sarah Irwin, and Jessie McKensie, ladies of easy virtue, were charged by Mrs. McGreer, of 97, Christian street, with entering her house at Two o'clock on Sunday morning, and stealing therefrom, a counterpane and child's dress. She further said, that she met the prisoners on the stairs, when Irwin knocked her down, and McKensie held her whilst they took 3s. 6d. in silver from her pocket. Prosecutrix also exhibited a slight black eye, which she said she received on the occasion. The prisoners said, prose cutrix kept a house of ill fame, which she denied, and the case was generally remanded, in order that inquiries might be made.— Catherine Brokleboy was charged with stealing a pair of stockings from Barbara Sullivan's standing in Mill street. She had in her basket, a pair of new children's boots, and seven pieces of meat. She had taken the stock ings - whilst pretending to purchase them. The case was remanded to this day.--Thomas Marshall, William Sinclair, Anthony Smith, and Samuel Blooinchild, seamen, belonging to the ship " Old England," bound for New Orleans, were ;charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, and various miscellaneous articles from the ship; It appearing that the vessel was within the Cheshire boundary on the river, the Magistrates had no jurisdiction, and prisoners were directed to be taken to Cheshire.— Michael Casey was remanded, he not being able to account for having in his possession, on Sunday morning, on the Canal-bridge, near Mr. Muspratt's Chemical-works, 100 eggs, a leg of mutton, and four pairs of children's stockings, which were conce a l e d un d er some o ld rags i n a basket.—Mary Magrath and John- Ellis were committed for trial to sessions for having, on Saturday, in their pos session, and pawning at Mr. Murdoch's, in Marybone, a valua ble coat, the property of Mr. Greenwood, printer, 7, Faulkner- street, and stolen from his house on Friday night. —John Thompson, a respectable-looking old man, was charged with stealing a coat, the property of a fellow-lodger, and selling it to John Gorman, a broker, of No. 7, Hatton-gardens, for sixpence. The prisoner pleaded d es tit u ti on , an d said he was a gilder by trade and could get no work. The clerk of the Court said this man was only just out of gaol, and had been three times before committed; he was now sentenced to three months' imprisonment. ROBBERIES FROM THE PERSON.—Ann Sing was charged with stealing a half-sovereign, two half-crowns and three shillings in silver, from William Wright, in Tithebarn-street. Prosecutor, after being robbed, watched prisoner into a pub lic-house, and then informed the police. When arrested, two half-crowns were found on the prisoner. Sentenced to 14 day's imprisonment. GRANDFATHER WHITEHEAD.—Ann Iremmit, a young girl, was charged with stealing a purse containing half-a soverergn and half-a- crown, from a very old man of re spectable apparel and appear ante. This hoary debauchee met prisoner on Saturday' afternoon, at four o'clock, in Church-street, and escorted her into Leigh-street, where they patronize Smither's beer-house. Whilst there.' he made some disgusting proposals to the girl, and she de livered him of his purse and money. The magistrates indignantly dismissed the complaint.

ROBBERY emen tionedver saoline d d th MBEZZLEMENT FROM AN EMPLOYER.— i nus l g s Barr, was charged with s t ea li ng £B, th e AND E pftvhi ca by inoi a monies of his employer, Mr. James Lamb, ironmonger, of Stanley-street. The suspicions of prosecutor were first aroused by hearing of very extravagant • purchases on the part of prisoner in the shop of Mr. M'Taggart, draper. On Saturday he found that he had paid a bill of some pounds there, altogether inconsistent with his means ; for he was but an apprentice, receiving eighteen shillings a-week. Prisoner had access to a safe where Mr. Lamb kept certain monies. He should make up his cash at a certain time. Mr. Lamb missed £B, and Barr, when accused, could not make up the cash ; he then said he took the money but did not mean to keep it. The case was sent to Sessions for trial. CHARGE or MURDER.—Emanuel Montero and Thomas Williams, the first a Spanish, and the latter an American sailor, were charged with having, on Sunday morning, at half past twelve o'clock, in Charles-street, off Whiteehapel, stab bed two English sailors, names]. Richard Crispin and John Crimp, one of whom has since died. It was stated that the present investigation by the magistrates was necessary (as the coroner was not going to hold an inquest to-day) in order to justify a commitment. The first witness examined was police-constable Francis ONeil, 220, who deposed that at half past twelve o'clock 091 Sunday morning he was in Charles street, on duty in that neighbourhood. A row took place at the bottom end of the street. He went to disperse the crowd. They all went. away and he turned into Whitehapel, and there was a . crowd there round a man that, was lying in the street, bleeding very badly ; it was stated. to witness that he had been stabbed by a foreigner, who ran up Church ' street, round the corner of Marlborough-street. When the officer went up there he found a man standing bleeding against the corner. There was no sign of the parties who had committed the offence, and he subsequently took the _person who had since died to the Northern Hospital. The other person is still lying there in a dangerous state. He apprehended, yesterdr• :afternoon, about half-past five, the foreigner Montero, at the west side of George's Dock, found a knife stained with blood, in his possession. Thomas Cottom, Police officer 509, received information in White chapel yesterday afternoon, and in consequence of it, he went up to 19, Peter-street, and there apprehended the prisoner Williams lying on a sofa in the house. He asked if he knew anything about a case of stabbing committed in Cha r les'-street on Saturday night, or Sunday morning, he said he knew nothing about it. As he was taking him to Bride well,' he said he was in company with a foreigner who had done the deed in Whitechapel, but he did not know at what time ; he had remained with him all night, and they had both slept in the same house, and that the man had gone 'away that morning ; when he brought him to Bride well he asked to speak to witness, he said that he him self had kicked: one of the men that was hurt twice, because he called him a b y, son of a b that a row took place at the bottom of Charles-street, and that he went to 19, Peter-stret, where he was when witness ' had taken him. (The prisoner himself stated that he had got first into a row with the two stabbed men before Mon tero came up. Harriet T,etgrime, liveg in ohm-les-street; about twenty minutes past twelve on Saturday night or Sunday morning last, there was a row in the street where she lives ; notice two English sailors come up the street, one a tall one, the other a little one ; they appeared to be sober. She went into the street. The prisoner Williams says to the two sailors, -"who do you call a son of a b to ?" The little sailor said he never insulted him, nor never called him such a name. Williams up with his foot and kicked him in the bottom of the belly ; says the English sailor, " will you give me another half dozen of them." The prisoner said he would, and up with his foot and kielked him again in the same place. Both turned out to fight in the street; the Engliih sailor knocked down the prisoner Williams. The foreigner, Montero, stood by' smoking a cigar, and when he saw the prisoner Williams down, he turned round and fought with the tall man him self. Witness went away, and when she came back the man was stabbed. She left the tall man and ,the foreigner, Montero, fighting. Montero stood looking on, until the American was knocked down, then Montero first interfered.—Betsy Salmon, lives in Cross-hall-street. On Sunday/morning, about a quarter-past twelve, she -was com ing down Charles-street, . when she heard the tall young sailor chap shouting for his shipmates—ran up to him, and said, " Young man, don't be foolish, those foreigners always carry knifes.' He was arguing with another man, and that man was a foreigner. Had hardly the words said, when the foreigner came behind witness, and stuck a knife into the tall man's abdomen. The blood spurted over her clothes, — did not see the foreigner's face. Went to the hospital, and closed the man's eyes and mouth after he died-=! mss Ormski;k.., William Garside. Prescot...
