Alluding to the matter, ei v York Daily Times says : IN:P r o-slavery party has again tinumphad.

The result shows how little luey to be relied on in any emergency, and how certain ,I ) tir le i,' e t t when the time of trial comes, to surrender the 4 44,4'P'es they and throw the victory into the r, hods profess, •r the s l ave -h o ld ing power. This coalition in r esil ss is only the precursor of wb . at we shall see in the tf ental canvass. There is not one among the leaders Nett Fillmore party, North or South, who lhey a b lt ' j s the slightest hope of his election. But tto f e , ii eve that his vote may be so managed iciach a s' il l a vtde the North, and thus aid the election of Mr. ° lltb er It is already perfectly apparent that, in the rkh, States, the Fillmore movement is purely a political Chas tie use, tnhits object is merely to encourage the belief in eru States that he has a party in the South,—and : 11 04, rezto of from Fr e m on t i n th e F ree S tates votes F° mac ,o elect Mr. Bu c h anan .

The following is the latest telegraphic despatch from Washington :—" The treaty Which our go vernment has been recluested by the Dominican government to return, was, it is said, made by Mr. Elliott with Bobadilla., a mulatto s who was forced into the Senato Consulto by foreign influence, in order, as represented, to defeat the treaty made with Cten. Cazeneau, a year ago. Elliott's treaty has been in the possession of the government about four months, but was not submitted to the Senate for ratification, as unofficial representations had prejudiced that body against it." We have advices from Kansas to the 27th ult. The acting Governor (Shannon) was at Lecompton, and on the 26th issued a proclamation declaring the Territory in a state of insurrection, and calling on all law-abiding citizens to aid and assist the legal authorities to preserve the peace and protect the persons and property of citizens. Gen. Lane is understood to have three parties stationed at different points in lowa, for the purpose of receiv ing supplies or making his escape in case he is compelled to flee. From Nicaragua we haVe private reliable advices of considerable importance, by which we learn, that anarchy and misrule exist there now in. their worst form. Walker's position is a most precarious one He has only twelve hundred follow all told is Pre whilst Riva - s, who still contends that he dent, is fortifying himself at CianendagUa, already three thousand well armed troops. the sympathy of the entire country, execp' Americans who still adhere to "Walker, and his countrymen are daily rushing to his standard Honduran and 6uatemala are organising fc invade Nicaragua, and drive Walker from try ; and it is understood that as soon as the dry season resuttes-now near at hand —they will make a descent on Nicaragua. Rivas will, of 'nurse, receive their sympathy and co-operation, as Walker is now regarded by the people of Nicaragua as a usurper. At first they were disposed to look upon him as their deliverer—but his many blunders,and acts of cruelty have induced them to change their minds with regard to his character, airo, and pur poses. The commercial and business resources of Nicaragua, we are assured, are in the worst pos sible condition. Business of every description is entirely suspended, and there is little or no money in the country. The greatest distress prevails, and the future as well as the present of Nicaragaa presents a sad picture. We sincerely trust that succour will soon be afforded to that unhappy country. The qranada - correspondent of the New York Daily Times supplies the subjoined intelligence, under date of August 17:— I-lard times are coming fast to Nicaragua, and Walker's position is not a very enviable one. The natives are all more or less against the present state Of things, for they are treated in the hardest manner possible. and they will not be friends as tont as their property is taken away from theta by the improved law of the sabre. A. few days ago Colonel Herrera—a well known rascal devoted to Walker—left Massaya with about thirty natives to get cattle for the army, and returning with a prize of about ninety head taken forcibly from a Hacienda, was fired upon from an ambush by the owners. The Colonel was killed, and the others ran fast to Granada with the news. This is the love borne by the natives for the Americans. Desertion Is the order of the .day. We have now the report that the conipahy of Captain Turby, which deserted with their artias and have been committing all sorts of depredations in Chontales, were taken by the Chamorristas in Comalapa, and were almost all killed. Postmaster Rugles has killed himself with brandy, and his place is now filled by Major Crane, an excellent man of business, and a gentleman. The new Minister to Washing ton, Mr. Oaksmith, has been the subject of a great deal of conversation here, as none knew who he was. But now some New-Yorkers have said that he is nobody, and will prove another of Walker's failures. He has been represented as a man of great wealth and standing among your eminent merchants ; but it is now said that he is a bankrupt. The new power to raise a loan under such a man is a most extraordinary manoeuvre, and, of course, no one expects anything to come of it. The worst we fear is that he will not be received, and that another Col. French drama will be repeated. Dr. Livingston has not been executed. I do not believe any of the absurd rumours that have been circulated about his execution in retaliation for the death of Salizar. Rivas has fortified Leon, having placed cannon in the tower of the cathedral and around all the entrances of the Plaza. Walker will have some trouble in taking the town if he does not receive more men and artillery. - The army of Rivas is about 2,000 strong. Walker's army, on the other hand, is demoralized in every respect. Drunkenness is the prevailing vice. General Cazeneau and lady leave by this steamer. They have purchased a groat tract of land in the hope of this being shortly a slave country, which will be the final movement here. Later advices from Havana inform us that Gen. Concha continues to receive the congratulations of his numerous friends and admirers. The cor porations of the several interior towns have sent deputations to offer their devoirs to the newly appointed Marquis. The Cerro road is crowded with vehicles of all descriptions, including our clumsy omnibuses, which bear the Havana aristo cracy to the General's country seat, where he is recruiting his health and enjoying his newly earned dignity. It was currently reported that Senor Argudin's project for the introduction of 40,000 African apprentices, has been approved by the Home Government, and that the English Consul has authorised a Mr. Englehardt to go out as surgeon to the first expedition. The English Government has consented to the introduction of the appren tices under the following conditions; First, that slavery shall be totally abolished throughout the island in the year 1900; second, that all vessels employed in the traffic shall be registered in the English Consulate at the Havana, and be furnished with proper medical assistance; and last, that said vessels shall only be allowed to procure the appren tices in ports hereafter to be designated by her Britanic Majesty's Government. description of fancies and extras have nearly maintained last Friday's currency—the eastern trade buying quite freely of the latter. Exporters seem to have entirely withdrawn from the market, prices being relatively higher here than those ruling in Liverpool at the latest dates. The bulk of the flour no* arriving consists of new, and is generally a decided improvement upon last season's product. The wheat crop was garnered in most excellent condition, and with a thorough reform in the system of inspec tion, American flour will once more occupy 'the same rank at home and abroad that it did prior to the degeneracy of 1854-55. The sales for the three days amount in the aggregate to 17,000 brls, the market closing heavy at our revised quotations. The market for Canada flour continues dull, and prides, though unchanged, favour the purchaser. Southern flour has arrived more freely, and with only a limited demand, the low grades have declined 25 cents ; sales 4,500 brls, the market closing at 6 dols 75c to 7 dols for mixed to straight brands, 7 dols 10c to 8 dols for low to medium fancy and extra, and 8 dols 50c to 9 dole 50e for favourite and choice do. The export dettand for wheat has been somewhat restricted by the advance in freights, and, with fair receipts, prices of red have declined 3c to sc, while white, which is comparatively scarce, is firm at last Friday's prices. Home millers buy sparingly in anticipation of a further decline with the increased receipts that are expected within a few days. Indian corn is in moderate demand, the market is firm, and prices rather higher. ASHES Pot arrive sparingly, and continne in request at 7 dols, at which 100 brls have been disposed of; 60 brls Canada, Montreal inspection, brought dols 26c• Pearl are wanted, and sell readily on arrival at 7 dols 7&c. Export, from Ist August to 29th August, trls 926 . 146 . ..... 197 BARK : At Philadelphia, 90 hhds No. I Quercitron sold at 36 dols to 38 dols, cash—an advance of 3 dols ner ton. At Baltimore, 200 bags Unercitron sold at 28 dols to 30 his, the latter price for prime No. 1, free on board. HOPS are dull and inactive; the sales amount to 150 bale', to brewers, at 7c to 9c cash, as in quality, for growth 1865. The arrivals of new are as yet limited to sample bales ; in all, about bo have been received, and the most of them sold at from 14c to 17c for Eastern and Western, principally 15c to 16c; the quality is very good for so early a period is the season, and give good promise for the crop in general. It is said that where yards have been already picked, the artual yield fell very much short of the estimate a . • made before picking. IRON : Holders of Scotch pig are firm, at previous quota tions ;we estimate the stock at 7,500 tons. Shipments of the article to this port are light, and probably will remain so while present prices rule, at which. it 'cannot be imported with profit ; the sales are 300 tons, in lots, at 31 dols 50c to 32 dols, with a little at 32 dols 50c, six mos. Rails are quiet —l2O tons English common bars sold at 55 dols, six mos., and 100 do refined, on private terms ; the latter is held at 62 dols 50c. English sheet is in brisk demand, and held more firmly. Doubles 4ic, and trebles 41, stook light. Singles are in full supply, at 3i to 3t, six mos. _ _ NATAL STOItES : There is no turpentine here unsold, the receipts, which are small, having been previously disposed of at 3 dols 50c per 2801bs, The tharket for spirits turpen tines with isrge receipts, has become weak, and declined to 412 c to 42c cash—the lower rate for a parcel under. stood to be in poor order—stock 6,000 brls in yard and afloat. Common rosin is dull, though less plenty, and in small lots, brings former rates; white is scarce and wanted. Tar is without change—stock 4,000 to 5,000 brls. PROVIStONS.—The subjoined official stock of pork indi= cater a decrease of upwards of 6,000 brig during, the pad. month, which has beeh Wade the basis for an advanCe of 121 c to §sc on mess, with a fair business at the improve ment ; in other kinds there is no change to notice; sales 3.000 brls, closing at 19 dols 874 e to 20 dols for mess, and 17 dols 750 to 18 dols for prime ; including 1,500 mess, deliverable within thirty days, buyers option, at 20 dols. The beef market is quiet, and without. quotable change, though the reduced stock, as indicated in the annexed statement, has induced more firmness on the part of holders ; sales 1,000 brls, at 6 dols to 7 dols for country prime, 8 dots to 9 dols 25c for country mess, 11 dols 75e to 12 dols sOc for Vermont mess, 8 dols .50c to 11 dols repacked Western mess, and 11 dols to 12 dols 50, for extra do. Prime mess continues dull, and prices are nominal. Beef hams are scarce, and firmly held, though there is not much demand. Cut meats continue dull, and we have only to note small sales at Bic to 810 for shoulders, and Die to 910 for hams. Bacon is scarce and nominal. Lard is scarcely so firm, but price.; are not quotably lower ; sales 700 brls and tres at 121 e to 11c—the latter now an extreme price. Butter is selling at 163 to 19cTor Ohio, 18e to 22c for ordinary to good State, and 24c to 26c for extra do. Cheese continues dull at 6c to 93 as in quality. . _ . _ _ . SALT.-There is a steady fair demand for all kinds at previous rates, which are well sustained. The sales are 900 sacks fine Liverpool, of a brand not well known here, at 1 dol 271 c ; 1,700 do. ground, Sac ; 45,000 bushels Cadiz, about 20c ; 0,000 to 7,000 do. Lisbon, 23c ; a cargo of Turk's Islands, 341 c, and one at 31c, 4 mos. Several large invoices of Liverpool have arrived since our last, that were sold and reported previously. SUGAR : With a large stock'pressing on the market, and a general impression that prices had reached the highest point, the market has continued heavy with a further decline of cto ac, making about lc off from the highest rate, and closing quite unsettled ; the sales 8,297 hhds Cube at to 871; 800 hhds Porto Rico Bto9l ; 209 do. in bond 7 to 7; 400 English Island at 7;--1 to 81; 200 New Orleans at 7 , `, 3 1 to 6 ; 45 hhds cistern bottoms 41 ; and 450 boxes at 8 to 101. Refined is heavy at 121 to 13 for crushed and loaf. WHALEBONE : There is nothing doing here, but the sales of the week at New Bedford reach 80,000 lb, Ochotsk and Polar, at 60c to 70c, according to siza and quality ; including 13,000 lbs Polar at the latter rate. Stock in the country 900,000 lbs.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY EVENING The Royal West India Mail steam-ship Atrato, arrived here to-day, bringing the usual mails, fiity: eight passengers, and specie amounting to eight hundred and sixty-five dollars. The Atrato's dates are Greytown, August 50 ; Demerara and Trinidad, August 25 ; Jamaica and Barbadoes, August 27 ; and St. Thomas, September 1. Our St. Thomas advices inform us that a severe earthquake had taken place on that island on the 28th August. Considerable damage was done. There were several deaths taking place from cholera, daily, The island of Jamaica was healthy, and business was rather active We have still later acivices from Nicaragua, but they agree in the main with those received via the United States. General Walker's prospects were darkening, Guatemala was advancing with 4,000 men, to join with Costa Rica in giving battle to Walker. Rivas was at Leon with 700 men PENINSULAR MAIL. (FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT ) SOUTH:k.MPTON, SATURDAY, The steam-ship Aden, belonging to the Penin sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, Captain Week, arrived here this morning with the usual Peninsular mails, in charge of Lieutenant J. Hay, R.N., Admiralty agent. The Aden, during the voyage, experienced heavy head winds, with very heaVy S.W. swell on the coast of Portugal. She brings twety nine passengers, *Seventeen first class, seven second class, and five deck; besides a general cargo, consisting of 30 boxes Of eggs, 441 boxes of leMons, 30 of almonds, 118 bags orehelia, weed, .137 boxes tomatoes, 26 boxes Palma baskets, 453 boxes cf grapes, and 1,357 boxes raisins. She has twelve packages of specie on freight, valued at £3,280 sterling. The dates by this arrival are—Gibraltar, Sept. 6 ; Cadiz, 7 ; Lisbon, 9 ; and Vigo, 10. H.M.S. ships, Vesuvius and Ariel, were at Gibraltar. On the evening of the 10th inst., the Aden passed the screw steam-ship Albanian, steering to the N.E. ; and at noon on the 11th, saw the screw steamer Sultan, steering S.W. The Lisbon exchanges for three months are quoted this mail at 531 on London ; Paris, 5.30 ; Amsterdam, 431; Hamburg, 48; and Genoa, 528. The business done on London was rather more than the previous market, ,and on other placeS continued scarce. The atom market has tt decline h in e e oprices, change ge 4 Three sl p b e e r en c d en u t l s l a w t e a 8 were to 46 coupons ; 4 6 to 46 registered , and 24 1 to 25 deferred; Bank of Portugal shares , 50) to 002 mil reis each ; and Oporto Bank shares 19 to 20 per quoted e d a cent premium. Our Lisbon correspondent informs US that great preparations are being made for the approaching election of a new Chamber of Deputies. Four electoral committees have been formed by different parties, and three of them have just published their manifests, viz, the Royalists, the Cartistas, or Conservative supporters of the charter, and that proportion of the Progressista party which opposed the late cabinet and supports the present ministers. The committee for the other portion of the Progressistas which acted with and formed part of the late cabinet, and also gives its support to the present administration, has issued an advertisement for a public Meeting of the electors of Lisbon, to be held, by perniission of the Government, at the Theatre of San Carlos, on the 11th inst., for the purpose of appointing a committee to conduct the election of such candi dates as support the principles the meeting may discuss and adopt. Although the Government declines at.present to take any direct part in these electoral proceedings, I have no doubt it will step in at the last moment, and, by its influence secure the return of a good portion of the candidates upon whose support it may best rely. We have intelligence from Oporto respecting 12 Portuguese ships engaged in the Brazil trade, which the Lisbon Board of Health ordered to be immediately sent out of the Douro, in consequence of their being reported to have carried the yellow fever to that port, where 30 to 40 cases are said to have occurred, mostly fatal, within the last three or four weeks. The mercantile body of Oporto have long been upon the worst terms with the Board of Health, and attributing its orders in this case to arbitrary persecution rather than real necessity, a strong representation upon the subject was discussed at a public meeting called by th e C o mm e r c i a l Associa tion, and forwarded to the Government by tele graph. Private letters from Oporto deny the existence of yellow fever at all, while the reports made to the Board of Health contain certificates of post mortem examinations which declare that decease to have been the cause of death. Hitherto it does not appear that any case of yellow fever has occurred at Lisbon, and those of cholera do not amount to a dozen per diem, with scarcely any deaths.

From the evidence of the deceased's father it appears, that on Thursday, the 4th inst., she was missed from the house, and he under stool afterwards that her body had been discovered in the Serpentine, Hyde Park. She had had some words with her mother the previous day, but nothing had occurred that could have been calculated to lead her to destroy her life. About four years since she was attached to a young man about 18 years of age, a neighbour's son, wio was employed in a wholesale house in the City, at a salary of £2O per annum. Witness felt that, for the welfare of his daughter and the young man, he was com pelled to put an end to the acquaintance, but since that time the latter had, by his ability, raised himself in the firm, and was now in rece ipt o f •El6O per annum, having married a young lady of some fortune. Mr. Hall said : There was a letter left by his daughter at the time of her disappearance. He had not the letter with him, but he believed it wished them all farewell, begged God to for give the wicked act she was about to commit, and was also about the dispute with her mother. He did not know what became of the letter. The Coroner said the letter must be produced, and a messer , er was at once sent to procure th e a tt en d ance o f M rs . H a ll, w h o , on h er arrival, made the following extraordinary statement. .That the dec ease d l e f t a l etter on t h e ki tc h en ta bl e, b u t witness had destroyed it. She did not read it, and was not aware what it contained. Witness never struck her daughter. She was quite unable to say who gave her the letter. The dispute was about some coals which the witness asked the deceased to fetch. Her daughter was in bed, and it was past 11 o'clock at night. Witness did not pull the clothes off the deceased, but laid hold of the quilt and put it on a chair, A little while ago her (laughter was reading some of the letters sent to her by the young man who had been courting her. She said she would not burn the letters, and that she would take poison, which she did. When she said she would take poison, witness told her if she was determined, she must do so. She did not know the letter was in existence long enough to be copied, or who gave it to her. Mr. Hall, on being again recalled, said he made a copy of the letter, and gave the original to his wife. The letter was here read, and was, in substance, the same as given by Mr. Hall in his evidence, concluding with the words, " Tell mother not to abuse me when lam gone. " Mi ss Harriett H a ll (the sister Of deceased) gave evidence of various facts, and totally con. tradicted the statements of Mrs. Hall. The Coroner having carefully summe d up, the jury returned a verdict. of " Tempor ary i nsan i ty , an d the jury feel very indignant at the conduct of the mother towards the deceased." ATTEMPTED DESTRUCTION OF Tlll3 ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE, ON FRIDAY . COMMITTAL OF THE OFFENDER. On Saturday, William Ball, a man in the employ of Mr Copeland, as carpenter and joiner in the establishment, was brought before Mr. Mansfield, at the police court, on a charge of having been found in the Royal Amphi theatre at a late hour on Friday night, under the following circumstances :—lt appeared, in evidence, that about twenty minutes to nine o'clock, during the performance of the first piece, "Like and' Unlike,' in which Madame Celeste and Mr. Webster take the leading characters, the prompter discovered that there was some deficiency is the lighting of the house, when the son of the man, who has the care of this important department, immediately went to ascertain the cause of the deficiency. Finding the metre all right, he, with others, went below the stage, where they found the prisoner standing on a heap of rubbish. Ho was in a state of intoxication, and, upon seeing the men with the lights, he said, " here it is." At that time he had hold' of the pipe leading from the main to the theatre. Ile directly fell from off the heap of rubbish on which he was standing, and a large piece of lead gas] pipe fell from his hands as he rolled over. It was then discovered that a portion of the pipe had been cut off, which portion was in the prisoner's hands, and that the saw with which the pipe had been cut was standing by the wall. The lights went out, but the damage being soon made right, all went on as usual. The flickering of the lights was observed by the audience, but happily they did not know the danger in which they were placed, and, therefore, they made uo attempt to escape. The prisoner—who, as we have stated, was an employee in the theatre, had been told on the preceding day that his services were no longer required, and, therefore, had no right on the premises—was told immediately to leave the theatre, but instead of doing so he went on the stage, and the assistance of the police was required before he would quit the building ; and on his to the Police Station he had several violent les with the policeman who had him in Mr. Edward M'Cann, the officer from the gas works, whose duty is to watch over the gas department of the theatre, was then called. Mr. Mansfield : 'What would have been the effect if this cutting of the pipe had not been immediately discovered ? M'Cann : If the gas had caught fire, the whole of the building must have been burned down, as the escape occasioned was not more than eighteen inches below the stage, and it would have put forth a flame six feet in length at least. Mr. Mansfield : Well ; if it had not caught fire ? : Then the gas would have con centrated underneath the pit and would have blown the whole premises up. Mr. Mansfield : Then it is your opinion that if the gas had not caught fire, sooner or later the entire building must have been destroyed either by fire or have been blown up, with all persons in the house. M'Cann : Certainly, that must have been the effect. Mr. Mansfield, addressing the prisoner : It is from this diabolical act of yours, that the result might have been the deaths of hundreds of persons. You must have known that such would have been the case. custody COMMERCIAL,-NEW YORK, SEPT. 3 MO:NU:TART MATTERS.—Money continues in active de mand, and there is a perceptible decrease in the supply, which, although not so decided as to advance the rates of interest, is still sufficient to induce holders of stocks to sell freely, while from the same cause the disposition to purchase is materially diminished. The exports of specie for the two weeks ending 30th ult, were 1,296,971 dols, and the receipts of gold from California for the same time, 1,465,157 dols. Although the supply of money is less abundant, loans on call are still readily obtained at 7 per cent, and first-class paper discounts at 8 to 9 per cent. The business in Exchange has not been brisk for the steamer. The market is amply supplied for the moderate demand from bankers and importers. We quote Bills on London 9i to 10 per cent prern ; Paris. &c., 5f •16ic to 5f 15c 60 days, and 5f it is short sight; Antwerp, 51 17-I.c to 5f 16ic ; Amsterdam, 41•1 to 413 ; Hamburg, 36R to 361: Bremen, 781 to 79; Frankfort, 41i to 41* ; and Thalers, 72 to 72i. COTTON.—The market has ruled steady, with only a moderate enquiry. Our quotations are again slightly reduced in conformity with the purchases for export, but, it should be remarked, that limited sales for home spin ning have been made, and are making, at * to * of a cent above these figures. The business for the three days com prises about 2,500 or 3,000 bales, and during the past week some 3,000 bales were sold in transitu, principally from New Orleans to Liverpool, on a basis of 10i cents for low middling, with freight at 13-32 d. We see nothing in the crop accounts before us of special interest. The recent storms do not seem to have extended over a large area of the producing country, and, with the exception of a por tion of Louisiana and Alabama, the reports are generall y favourable, and the picking is progressing finely. _ _ Excess of Receipts this season — v J 13 -. 1 . es 691,915 ~ Exports Shipments North 14,844 We annex an extract from the circular of Mr W.

THE SwrLir, MOB'S PEOPLE.—Jamee Sweeney alias Thomas Itenteleson, and Mary Sinclair alias N'Farlane' were brought up oil remand, charged with picking the pocket of Mrs. Godwin, of Birkenhead. T he facts of the case have been twice publiCed. Mr. Bluck defended. Inspector Kehoe asked for another rem and, on the ground that the evidence from Glasgow would silo* that the prisoners were notorious travelling thieves. He also asked for the remand in consequence of the absence of Mrs. Godwin, from illness. Mr. Bluck very strenuously opposed the request, but his Worship granted the remand to twelve o'clock this day. On Saturday the American ship Cherubim, which caused the terrible catastrophe to the Ocean Erome emil grant ship, off the Lizard, on the sth instant, arrived is the river off Gravesend, but no investigation will take place by the Board of Trade, both ships coming withitE the category of "foreign' vessels. and therefore do not Come within the operation of the Merchant Shipping Act. Some of the poor survivors, emigrants, reached London Friday from Plymouth, and received every kindness from Mr. May, the consul. The poor creatures gave harrowing tale of i!:.eir sufferings. One poor man, a car penter, named Wynveen, rather advanced in years, lost his wife, his mother, and five chiLiren, and about £lOO worth of property, the result of seve,7.al years' hard earned savings. He was in his berth with his family, when the shock of the collision, and the rush or water between decks aroused him. He ran up On deck to see what was the matter. He endeavoured to return below to sTee his family, but the rush of water prevented him. Ins few minutes the decks were covered with water. He heard the cries of those below, but they could not reach them, He was put into the boat which was lowered. The Ocean Home went down shortly afterwards. Another .emigrant, G. Wensink, apparently a young farm labourer, lost his mother, four brothers, and three sisters. They had clubbed together for the purpose of purchasing land in the United StateS, This poor fellow was below when the catastrophe happened, and he spoke of the rapid man ner the ship filled. A third survivor, a young man, whose mind seemed to have been almost turned by the calamity which had befallen him, lost his wife and three young children. A fourth survivor had been deprived of child:en. The consul made provison for their ato Rotterjina. The loss of the Ocean Homo and argo is estimated at about £200,000. three of hi retu There would seem to be a strange fatality attending ehips which are - named after the element they are destined to traverse. There was the Ocean Monarch burnt at Liverpool ; the foundering of the Ocean Queen ; two other Ocean 1 , 101;3,rch9 ; and now the Ocean Home, all within the last few years.

The re-appojrltEoent of the committees will be moved for next session. THE WEATHER. continues exceedingly fine and warm, and there is every appearance of its lasting a considerable time.

TtiE HEAD.—The importance of taking care of the head at all times. but more particularly at this season, when the weather, as it were, jumps from ono extreme to another, is apparent. ii, is therefore necessary that great attention should be paid to ti.LC .sort of hat we wear. There is a large and superior assortri;f.nt of these articles at Mr. Woods, Lord-street, and we can st.;.,' from experience, that for durability, lightness, ventilation, s t y :o ; and price, the articles cannot be surpassed. Some newly inth7fluoad hate are well worth inspection, for a combination of su‘'.‘Tel quality, and cheapness. FlRE.—Yesterday morning, between two and three o'clock, a fire broke out in the extensive timber yard of Messrs. Rankin, Gilmore, and Co , south end of the pot teries, and for some time the greatest alarm prevailed in the locality as to the safety of the enormous pile of timber in the piece. Soon as the alarm was given, reels and engines %" to the South Dock, Essex-street, and Temple-court were in pron;;lt attendance, and in about an hour and a half, by united exertion, the fire was got under.

The essayist showed folly the influence of the great religious societies upon the opinions and pre judices of the people—upon the system of government interfering and compelling parents to educate their children, The society had a warm debate, and it was held by a majority that government had no right to interfere in the Matters QUEEN') MALL, BOLD•STREET.—On Saturday morning a fashionable audience attested the continued anxiety of the public to witness the clever feats of the talented "American Enchantress," who, as many of our readers pleasingly rcmember, for some weeks past has been performing at the above Hall, The neatness and " cleverosity" exhibited by this lady in the celebrated " Gun Trick," and the thereby maaufacturl , of oranges and lemons, together with the "ivizirding of sweeties, all of which were plentifully dig , tributed amongst the audience, particularly the younger branches, realised an amount of pleasure rarely to be wit nessed.

THE " TIMES" AND MR. CHARLES PEMRERTON.--011 Friday evening, and all day on Saturday, a large number of small boys and girls seemed to be doing a good stroke of business in all the great thoroughfares of the town, by exhibiting a large placard, on which the following words were printed—" The Times on Pemberton." The merchan dise consisted of a " broadsheet," on which was printed an article that appeared in Friday's Tines in reference to a recent affair in our Court of Bankruptcy, the said sheet being 8,1 cl" for the low charge of one half-penny." From what we saw, the vendors must have done "a roaring trade," for we o b serve d th ous ands of copies disposed of in quick time, and we have heard that some hundreds of thousands of copies went off freely, so eager Were the public to see " the Times on Pemberton." Coatis.—Of all the minor evils which beset humanity s and in one of its most tender parts, perhaps th e se small but exquisitely painful callosities, from which the feet of but few are free, are the worst. The daintiest foot, if encum bered wi h them, must, perforce, be thrust into an ugly, because loosely-fitting shoe or boot, thus incurring the risk of easing one part, and causing a precisely similar incon venience in another, while the change from the neat shoe or boot to its lax substitute is productive of an awkward and inelegant gait. We fancy that any one effectually relieving the corn-encumbered foot at a moderate charge is deserving or, and likely to obtain, both popularity and enaolument. Mr. Sims, from Berlin, it will be seen by reference to our advertising columns, proffers his services to relieve those whose feet are afflicted with these painful excresences ; an. certainly his testimonials entitle him to that credit which generally is a guarantee of success in a profession—a success, we hope, he will meet with in our good borough of Liverpool.

The complainant stated that he was walking along the street, when the defendant, whom' be had never before seen, deliberately went up to him and struck him a blow, which knocked him down. The defendant denied the charge, and said the complainant had made a mistake, as it was not him who had done it. The complainant positively swore that the defendant was the man, and Mr. Mansfield said it was one of the most ruffianly attacks he had ever heard of. There was, how ever, some drUbt in the matter, although, for his part, he did not doubt the statement of the complainant, therefore, he should send the case f6r trial at the sessions. If the defendant wag guilty, he hoped he would be most severely punished. ASSAULTING A CHlLD.—Robert Ellis, a respectably dressed person, was charged with assaulting a little glill in Deacon's publichouse, in Cumberland-street. It appeared that, on the previous day, the defendant went into the house in a state of intoxication, and asked for a glass of ale. The parties refused to supply him, when he hecatne very troublesome. The child, who was in the bar, Was givinganother person a glass of ale, when the defendant strtick her on the atrn With a loch rule, at the same time saying that no person sisould have any drink if he had not. The defendant denied the charge, and said if the child was struck, it was done by accident. Mr. Mansfield said the denial of the charge only aggra vated the offence. He had better state that he *as drunk and did nOt know what he did. lie should fine him 40s and costs. NOTED PICKPOCKETS —Two notorious pickpockets, named Hardyman and Ryle, who had frequently 'deen in custody on various charg , -s, were brought up by detective officer Thompson on a charge with having attempted to pick the pockets of several persons in Whitechapel on the previous night. The officer, who had watched the prisoners for some time, pfoted the offence, and Hardy man was remanded for a week, previous to being sent On board the Akbar hulk, and Ryle was committed far three months. Pm: ammo FEmALps, , .—Sit females, of the lowest character, living in the locality of Whitechapel, were charged with fighting in that street, and creating a great disturbance much to the annoyance of the public; They were each committed for two months. AN UNNATURAL PARMIT.—An interesting looking little child, not more than ten yeare of age, was brought up by Police 719 under the following circittmlances : The poor little fellow, whose father—if such a brute deserve the name—lived in Woolf-street, in the Park, had been found, with a number of other lads, sleeping in an outhouse. The boy stated thaLhe was afraid to go home, as his father and stepmother beat him so, and appeared perfectly regardless of everything. The father was in constant work, at the Rice Mills, in Rainford square. Mr. Mansfield : Take the child to the work. house, and I will punish the father for neglecing to maintain him. The Policeman : I did take him there before, and he was only treated as a vagrant, and turned out the next morning. Mr. Mansfield : I will write to Mr. Carr, and inform him of the case. The poor little fellow was then removed. PHYSICAL tORCE, AND MOCK AUCTIONS flow CARLYLE SERVED AN AUCTIONEER A few days since, we gave a suggestion to the police in reference to mock auctions, and we have now to record an exploit performed by detective Carlyle, at a celebrated snook auction shop, in the locally of Lime-street. A lady was taken in, and, of course, got an immense bar gain of a gold watch and chain, for £lO, the same being worth about £3. On discovering the swindle, she communicated with the polite, and Carlyle resolved to make a capture or die in the attempt. He procured some constables, and placed them at a side door, where he knew a retreat would be made in case of an attack on the citadel. He also placed two or three men in front, and having given all strict orders as to the discipline to be observed, lie made a furious rush into the sanclorzon. His progress was interrupted by the fellow who cries "walk into the ox-slain—step into the ox-skin," who stopped hind hi catching hold of his coat. Carlyle did not understand this Sort of thing, and with a " clout" of his fist and a tip cif his boot, down went the crier, quicker than the hammer of the auctioneer when he got a good bid from a gull. The prostrate sentinel shouted out, as load as his lungs permitted, " the beaks are on us—the beaks are on us." A smart application from the toe of the officer had a Wonderful effect in silencing the sentry; for, in plain terms, he nearly knocked the wind out of him. The screen was at once thrown in life fate of the intruder, the gas put out, and a smart retreat was made for the side door, but the guard there repulsed the flying enemy, and the reserve in front, coming in at a given signal. a regular, or rather irregular, fight followed. The auctioneer, and his " swectners," struck out with despe ration, knowing that, if they were captured, it would he a decided case of "cooked goose" with them. They made several efforts to get out, but the precautions taken by Carlyle rendered that operation nearly as hard of accomplishment as it was to get into the Ttedan. The fight continued for some time in the dark (the only way the parties recognised each other, was by their voice,) and many a knock-down (not with the ivory mallet of the auctioneer) took place. At last Carlyle procured a light, when the enemy cried for quarter. At this time, the field of battle presented a strange and most ludicrous scene. Coats lacked skirts, and hats were dilapidated ; eyes were in mourning, and noses emitted unusual streams of purple. Pieces of cloth and broken crockery were mingled together; tobacco pipes and Lucifer matches, metal teapots and plated spoons lay side by side. One fellow limped con sideralq from a collision that took place between a policeman's heavy boot and his shin; another man's arm hung as if twisted out of the shoulder socket, (This latter operation is a favourite and peculiar amusement, known only to the police.) The lady who had been diddled by the disinterested auctioneer, was in the locality all the time, and was only waiting to he called in by Carlyle, in order to prefer the charge against the parties. She was brought in accordingly, and asked would she give the parties in charge ? After a good deal of parley, the auctioneer sent his gold watch and chain, and popped them for ten pounds, which be slipped into the lady's hand, telling her it was better to take the money, than run the risk of losing all. This she deemed it prudent to accept, and so the "mocks" got off, with a very supe rior " pounding" from Carlyle and Co., which they will remember for a month or more. ARGUMENTS IN FAVOUR OF MORMONISM At one of their meetings, lately held at Copenhagen, a Jew hawker, after listening to them with great attention, cried, " I abjure Judaism, and I embrace the worship of the Latter Day Saints." He was at once accepted. Ho then got up and proposed the abolition of polygamy, which is authorised by the sect. An angry discussion ensued. The Jew was warmly supported by several women of the lower classes, and the Mormons were backed by the men.
