THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. THE CURRENCY QUESTION, SIR J. S. PAKINGTON, BART., M.P., AT I WORCESTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—ln some recent City Articles, the Times has admitted—l presume, inadvertently—that, while our gold diminishes, our wealth increases ; tbat, unless we spend more than we earn, we cannot become impoverished as a nation ; and that, if we earn more than we spend we must needs be enriched, without reference to the amount of the precious metals which we may hold at any given time. THEATRE-ROYAL.-ITALIAN OPERA. "Norma" was performed last night. This opera has been so often before us, and is now so well known, that a lengthened notice of it is unnecessary; however, we may say, hearing it again last evening brought back the idea that the work wants but little to have been dramatically and musically great, as a whole—great it is in parts ; but the lacking point is where Bellini, wrapt 'n the due developement of his sublime heroine, made a step-child of the hero Pollio, and leaves him—the cause of all the woe—an uninteresting and insipid pro-consul. The position of Pollio is one peculiarly calling for the fine emotional writing to portray the sentiment of the character in music ; but, Bel lini missed it, and ,has given us an immortal Priestess, seeking perdition, for what we must term a " walking gentleman," although the hero of " two loves and a life.' • Still, passing over the weak place in the work, " Norma " has become with us almost an institution, at least with Grisi. In the part there is come to an Englishman's mind what " Norma " is and should be, and from that he departs not. Madame Grisi seemed, in her perform ance of " Norma" last night, to go back ten years, and present herself to her admirers with her former fire almost undimmed. We spoke somewhat dis paragingly of this lady's last appearance in the concert room, but we are glad to have to record that, on her more legitimate sphere (the stage), Madame Grisi is still worthy of high admiration. After all, it perhaps now comes out, that she has always been greater as an actress than a singer; her Norma is slightly wanting in dignity and piety in the early scene, but, after that, when she reproaches the false Pollio ( Fiemi to per chi), when she resolves to sacrifice her children, and, finally, when she reveals her guilt to Oroveso, nothing could be more terrible and touching. In every part but the very high passages, her voice carried her triumphantly over every difficulty, guided by irresistible feeling, and the climax was reached in the piquant passage, " Qual cor which, uttered in a wailing prano, told the whole woful history of her heart betrayed. The audience, no less than ourselves, seemed taken by surprise at the excellence Madame Grisi seemed determined to throw into this—her great part—and showered their plaudits most liberally. Mdlle Sedlazek was a tolerable Adelgise, and sang in the great duett most artistically. Lorini, in Pollio, was deficient in feeling, but sang the music in its integrity as well as nature would allow him. Herr Formes was massive and impressive in Oroveso, and sang it with his usual excellence. The house was crowded from floor to roof, affording an agreeable evidence of a desire to hear good music when at a moderate cost, which is specially the tease in the present engagement. The chorus was weak, but quite au fait—the band, irreproachable. To-night, an act of " Lucrezia Borgia," and the whole of the " Barbiere " are to be given, when Mario appears. Vie gist of the argument employed by the Times to allay the anxieties of commercial men awakened by the unmistakable signs of an approaching monetary panic, is simply this—" We are not such fools as to barter our gold and silver for other articles, such as silk and tea, unless we hope to gain by the exchange, ergo, we need not be alarmed by a temporary drain of gold, for this cannot possibly affect us injuriously, so long as the credit side of our profit and loss account furnishes us with indubitable evidence of our commercial prosperity." Is, then, the Times a convert to the doctrines of the currency reformers? Has it abjured the creed of the bullionists? Is it prepared to demonitize gold, and to deal with it merely as a commodity, and not as the so'e basis of our currency, and the only real representative of our national wealth ? If so, the argument is sound and con clusive, and I congratulate the country on the conversion of the leading journal. For, were it not for the interven tion of laws which violate the first principles of political and commercial economy, we should, doubtless, increase our wealth by buying all descriptions of merchandise-- gold and silver not excepted—" in the cheapest, and selling them in the dearest markets." But, if a certain number of counters are in the very nature of things required to circulate that wealth, and if the laws of this realm require that counters of gold only shall be used for that purpose, or, at least, counters which shall be vouchers for a certain amount of that metal deposited in the vaults of the Bank of England, then is the argument of the Times, as applied to a country so circumstanced, unsound and inconclusive. Then our wealth cannot increase while our gold diminishes. Then we may become impoverished as a nation, though "we do not spend more than we earn." Nay, though we may have been earning for many years mere than we have spent, the depreciation of property caused by the withdrawal of gold may make us poor indeed. If gold and silver were merely commodities, England, France, and other European countries, would clearly benefit by their exportation to India and China; but so long as the internal trade of the various nations of Europe cannot be conducted without their instrumen tality, it must be apparent to every one, that a continued drain of these metals can only result in a wide spread monetary panic, involving in one common danger all classes of the commercial community. Hence it is, that the weekly returns of the Bank of England are watched with so much interest, and that the state of things disclosed by these returns is now creating so much well founded uneasiness with regard to the future in the minds of commercial men. One of the latest expedients suggested by the Times, to check the efliux of the precious metals, is the debasement of the silver currency of the continent. This would be a truly barbarous expedient. Measures of this nature have frequently been resorted to by the rudest nations as a means of replenishing their exhausted exchequers. I attach, however, a good deal of importance to the sug gestion, as showing that the Tones has at length been convinced that a❑ exportable currency is unsuited to the wants of trade. I say this, because I presume that, by a debased metallic currency, is meant a currency whose nominal is greater than its intrinsic value. As such a currency would not sell in foreign states for more than its intrinsic value, it would, therefore, not be sent abroad to adjust the balances of trade, but remain at home to circulate the NNealth, which, in the absence of a cir culating medium, cannot be readily exchanged by its possessors, and property so circumstanced comes rather under the denomination of lumber than of wealth. I say that such a suggestion coming from the Times, hitherto the great oracle of our monopolist money changers, is deserving of attention, as indicating that a slight change has "come o'er the spirit of its dream" on the subject of money, for, in making such a suggestion, the writer admits that the danger which now threatens the com mercial world, is mainly attributable to the fact—that our present currency is an article of merchandise, which may sometimes be profitably exported to the advantage of the few who possesses the means of buying it up, and to the great detriment of the many who, without its assistance, cannot dispose of the products of their industry.

J. W. Liverpool, Sept. 29, 1856. IRISH SECRETARY TO THE LUNACY COMMITTEE.—A Mr. Michael Joseph Barry, author of Lays of the War, has received the appointment of Secretary to the Lunacy Commission, of which Sir Thomas Redington is to be the chief. nA DAY'S REAPING.—There was cut, on the 17th inst., on the farm of Easter Pitcorthie, Colinsburg, near Dundee, by Crosskill's reaping machine, u p war d s o f 18; imperial acres of a full average crop of wheat. The machine commenced at a quarter past five, and finished at half-past sir, with a stoppage of an hour and a quarter at mid day. " THE RAKE'S PROGRESS." MONUMENT TO TilE BRIGADE OF GoAnDs.—The officers of the brigade of Guards propose to raise a monument to the officers and men of the brigade who have fallen in the late stuggle. According to the terms of the meeting at which the project was discussed, the monument is likely to be on a grand scale. The officers have already appointed a committee to see it carried out, with Sir A. Woodford at its head. One of our London morning cotemporaries gives the following account of the career of William James Rob son, the transfer clerk, who has robbed the Crystal Palace Company :—Four years ago, and shortly after his marriage, Robson was found to be living with his wife in a single room in the vicinity of Chancery Lane, the rent of which was only 4s 6d a week, and his principal resource at that time was 18s a week, which he received from a law stationer, in whose service he was. His means for some time after this were as humble as hutni. EXTRAORDINARY, UNEXPECTED, AND UN REILEARSED SCENE. —A curious scene occurred in the Brighton Theatre on Wednesday evening during the performance of the comedy of " Still Waters Run Deep," in which Mr. G, Vining, as Captain Hawkesley, animadverted in an unmis. takeable manner upon the conduct of the editor of the Brighton Guardian in reference to the criticism which appeared in the paper of that day. In the course of the performance he remarked " Swindler as I am, adventurer, ruffian—l might be something worse, I might even sink so low as to become the editor of the Guardian—that butcher, who makes his paper a dramatic slaukhter-house ; and such a critic, before going to a theatre, should swallow half a box of antibilious pills." At the conclusion, when being led off the stage handcuffed, he observed, " I'm going across the herring-pond ; if justice wire done the editor of the Guardian he would have to accompany me." After the piece was over, Mr. Vining, being loudly called for before the curtain, explained to the audience that the editor of the journal in question bad for many years been in the constant habit of abusing the theatre and every one conrected with it. That a paragraph had appeared that day, " cutting him up" in Captain Hawkestey, a part which he had had the honour of performing before her Hajesty, and for upwards of 150 nights in the metropolis, with the highest encomiums from the press and some of the most distinguished literary men of the day. He concluded his address by entreating the audience not to put any faith in what appeared in the columns of the Guardian, for that it was invariably false—that the editor of that journal had been burnt in effigy upon the stage on which he stood, that he had been publicly horsewhipped in the streets for abusing an actor in a part which he never performed—and this he urged, not for his own sake (for, having passed the ordeal of a London audience, the editor of the Guardian could not possibly injure him), but for the sake of his brothers and sisters in the profession, who could not, for local reasons, defend themselves from his unmanly attacks. The address, which created much amusement, was received with vehement applause. _ _ lity could make them, and the first change found in them was on his obtaining a situation at the Crystal Palace at a moderate salary not much exceeding 30s a week. A subsequent promotion found him in the company's accountant's office, and finally lie was placed in the registrar of shares and dividend certificate office, at a salary of £l5O per annum. On this slender means he managed to establish a chemical works in Bowling Green-street, Kennington Cross ; he then took a fashionable residence—Kilburn Priory—furnished it in a style of great elegance, established his brougham, two dog carts, and six horses, two of the latter alone having been purchased for £540 ; kept his groom and coachman in dashing liveries ; and had his three domestic servants to attend on himself and his wife. This, to a man with such a limited income as that of Mr. Robson, might be supposed by ordinary minds to be extravagant, but not so with him. He, in addition, considered it necessary to his enjoy ments to have something more to beguile his leisure hours, and he took under his protection Miss B—, a courtezan of some celebrity, for whom he took Cottage, in the Park Road, St. John's Wood, and fitted it up in a style of surpassing elegance, and, in addition to other appurtenances for the lady's comfort, provided for her a handsome brougham, with coachman, &c., with liveries to match, and this establishment alone must have made a considerable hole in £1,200 or £1,500 a year. His attention to this damsel was perfectly lavish, and it was only a few months ago that he pre sented her with an elegant dressing case, furnished with silver,-which cost the trifling sum of £37. Not content with this expensive indulgence of his profligacy, Robson took under his care a young lady (Miss Mary C-) who had been a favourite " Columbine," and established her at a house in Craven-street, where he kept her at an extravagant rate._ This lady, however, he has latterly THE CONVENT OF POOR CLARES, BRUSSELS.—The nuns never lie down, but sleep upright. I went up a narrow, corkscrew, stone-staircase into their cells, and saw these extraordinary beds; they consist of a hard and almost cylindrical mattress stuffed with straw, about three feet long, at right angles to which is fixed an equally hard upright palliasse, to support the back. There is no pillow, neither are there sheets, and only one small thin blanket. A basin and ewer of water stood on the ground, and the sleeping habit hung on a peg behind the door. There was no other furniture. A small window opeitPd on to the garden, and the honeysuckle which embowered it gave something of a cheerful aspect to the denuded little dormitory. They rise at half-past four, are only allowed five minutes to wash and dress, and go down to chapel, where they pray and meditate till half-past five, when their first mass is said; this is always at a fixed hour, and is followed by one and sometimes two more. After this they remain in chapel till halfspast eleven. Their first meal, which they call dinner, is at half-pant twelve, and consists entirely , of herbs, vege tables, rice, eggs, &c. Butter, cheese, milk, and what they call Jail battu, they also eat, but not at maigre seasons. Their second and last meal is at seven, and consists of dry bread, and the biere du pays. The sisters do everything for themselves washing, mending, sweeping, scouring, &c. The rule of the lay-sisters is slightly less severe in every particular, but even this is ascetic enough to startle most seauler persons. The sister who showed us the mysteries of the house was a very pleasant amiable looking woman of about thirty-five. She had a peculiarly calm, quiet expres • sion of countenance, and expresisea herself perfectly happy in the life of which she had made choice now about fifteen years since. The discipline they observe, she said, was bon pour fame, et bon pour le corps aussi." It seems they are removed from house to house, to prevent too great an attachment to one locality. She and another lay-sister were sent a short time ago, on a mission to Ingland, and this was mother considerable grievance to her ; but she said she kept her trouble to herself, and accepted 'it as one of the acts of submission to the will of her superior to which her rule bound her. The first night they arrived in London, where they put up at the hotel, they were shown into a room where the beds were, of course, hori zontal. This was a difficulty which bad not occurred to them, and they made up their minds to adopt the same position as the rest of the world ; but no sooner had they tried it than they found it impossible to sleep ; accordingly, they relinquishßd the attempt, and taking the mattress off the bedstead Placed half upright against the wall, and had reason to be perfectly satisfied pith their ingenious ex , pediept.—Flemish 1-nterion, managed to get off his hands by lending £3OO to a young gentleman who has married her. In addition to all this profligacy and extravagance, Robson was actually in treaty for the purchase of Kenilworth Castle Worcestershire, from its present owner, at a cost of' £5,000, but, before the bargain had been concluded, the bubble burst, and he was obliged to cut. A short time before he absconded, Robson paid £6O to an upholsterer in the borough, for 'five sets of curtains for his house at Kilburn : and the elegance of style in which that dwelling was furnished may be imagined from the fact, at on the sale of its furniture at the auction rooms of Mr. Oxenham, of Oxford-street, it realised no less a sum than £1,200. How Robson could have been allowed to carry on such a course of extraordinary extravagance is truly surprising. He was known to every omnibus driver in the metropolis as a particularly fast man, and the owner of some of the best nags about town, and it is said that his frauds, instead of being £5,000, as stated, will reach the enormous sum of £30,000. In addition to the other means adopted by the police for his appre hension, a number of daugerreotype likenesses of Robson have been struck off, and forwarded to the authorities at all the principal towns , and outports in England, so that his escape may be prevented by every possible means. W. SMITH O'BRIEN.—With respect to the intention of several of the Irish constituencies at the. next general election returning Mr. Smith O'Brien as a member of Parliament, it appears to be forgotten (says a correspon dent) that a person having been once convicted of high treason can never after sit in the House of Commons. EARL GRANVILLE'S MISSION TO MOSCOW.-It is esti mated that the mission of Earl Granville to Moscow as the Extraordinary Ainbassulor of England at the coro nation of the Czar, will cost the country from £25,000 to £35,000. COLLISION' ON THE NORTH UNION.—A collision occurred at Preston on Saturday evening. As the passenger train due at 6.35 p.m. was approaching the Ribble Bridge, about a quarter of a mile from the station, tl , e engine came in col lision with a coal train shunting upon a siding, and ran into and almost shattered two of the last waggons, besides doing considerable injury to several of the passengers. One man had his head and eye severely injured, another bis finger broken, while several others, besides being a good deal shaken by the concussion, received bruises upon various parts of the body. Two of them who were going to 13 &fist via Fleetwood, were so much injured as to be detained in Preston until the following evening. On Saturday, the annual meeting of the Worcestershire LIVERPOOL. Agricultural Society was held. In the evening, the J BEFORE MR. ALDERMAN TURNER. members and friends of the society dined together.

Pakington, Bart., f the Bull Hotel, Dale-street, was charged with having M.P., who addressed the company at considerable l eng th. stolen an umbrella, belonging to Mrs. Smith (of the He congratulated the agriculturists upon their present Mercury newspaper), from a carriage at the railway.

It appeared that the boy went to complain put him in a good humour, all they had to do ant's mother's house, and made a sad story to her of his was to ;ell him that he was hopelessly and irretrievably misery, saying he had no place to sleep. nor anything to ruined.

Nor was that all. These few disastrous years had taught them that the prac ice of agriculture was governed by the same laws as any other occupation, that the time had gone by when the man who had neither money enough nor wit enough for any other profession, might take a farm and say he would try and live upon it. If a man was to succeed as a farmer, he must approach his business as he would any other ; he must have adequate capital, brains, training, and skill. The same conditions applied to the man who undertook to farm a piece of l'ind as to a man who under took to be a banker, or merchant, or manufacturer. They had learned that, if they meant to live upon the land, they must show confidence in the land, and place their capital upon it, and then they would eertainly suc ceed. He asked them to consider the millions of money which had been spent in guano alone during the last few years; the hund re d s o f t h ousan d s of acres which the spirit of English agriculturists h a d recent l y b roug h t i nto cultivation ; and lastly, upon the millions of money— he thought he might safely say millions—which had been spent under the wise, judicious, and liberal conduct of the government of this country in deep draining the land. He spoke with diffidence upon this particular question ; for, although not a very young man, he was a much younger farmer than many of the gentlemen present, but he believed deep draining to be one of the most important branches of agriculture, and that nothing paid better for an invest ment of capital. As to agricultural statistics he con sidered it most desirable to obtain them, and especially for the benefit of the agriculturalists themselves. He did not believe, however, that they colld be collected effectually without the good and hearty co-operation of the farmers themselves. He believed and hoped that some good system would be discovered which was not inquisitorial in its nature. In conclusion, he said the prosperity of the land was not simply the welfare of an individual farmer, nor of a class, nor of a district, but the welfare of a great community, of which they were all proud to be members. (Cheers.) CANADA-ITS GOVERNMENT, ITS STEAMERS, AND ITS RAILROADS. m C p o a Canada is now r tane ethat w il l beginning ultimately to a le s a s d u ma her on n n t attitude t t b i e t u o d n e e o o f f the great nations of the earth. Her colossal dimensions, her vast rivers and lakes, her fertile and active population, all combine to mark out her career as one of high destiny. The free institutions everywhere planted, the system of self-government established, and the protec tion of one of the most powerful nations of the world without the cost of supporting it, are incomparable advantages, and will yield fruits of greatness and grandeur to remote ages. We are led to this train of thought by the many developments of power and capa bility which Canada has lately exhibited, and among others the successful establishment of an admirable line of steamers with Great Britain by the national route, viz , the St. Lawrence. A more important event could scrcely be consummated, and we anticipate for it the highest advantages, both to the colony and the parent State. It is this successful opening of a direct communication with England that will give efficacy to the railroads of late years constructed in the interior of the country, and take to a ready market the vast productions, not only of Canada herself, but of the vast West which lies beyond. When the chain of internal improvements is completed, the shortness of the river route into Europe will bring it into full play for at least six months in the year; it will be the nearest road both for passengers and produce for all the Western States of this republic to the great marts of the old world, and will bring Quebec nearer to Liverpool than Danzic was to London under the old system of navigation. The Grand Trunk Railway line is to be opened to Toronto at an early day in October. The length of this line is 333 miles, or 12 miles less than the former estimates of its distance. The completion of this link makes a continuous line to lowa City, 1,372 miles from Portland, as follows : Portland to Montreal Montreal to T ronto . Toronto to Hamilton. Hamilton to London. London to Detroit 29 2 miles. He was attheTpayr window when the female rushed past him, put her hand into his pocket and took the money out, which she gave to the male prisoner (her husband ) He then gave them into custody. On cross examination by Mr. Bluck, he said he was sober at the time ; he d d not see the woman take the money, but he felt her ; there were others about at the time, and a great crowd outside, but this was inside of the hall at the pay window. Wben the prisoners were searched, 5s 3d was found on the woman, and is 6d on the man. Mr. Black : And the woman performed all that opera— tion in a rush past you ? Yes she did. Mr. Bluck : And took 18s 6d in loose silver at one chance pull from your vest pocket ? Yes. Mr. Black : She must be very expert, indeed. Mr. Clough : The most expert pickpocket in Liverpool could not do that. The police officer who had charge of the case, gave rather a different version of it, and said the prisoners loudly protested against being charged, as they were innocent. Mr. Blink addressed the court, and said his clients were respectable persons, residing in a court off Dryden -street. The man was engaged as a respectable mechanic, at Bathgate and Wilsons, of Canning-place. On Saturday evening, after receiving his wages, and regulating the household affairs, he resolved to spend his evening with his wife, not in a public house, but in rational and intellectual amusement, which he (Mr. Bluck) was delighted to find, had at last been provided for the working classes, at a reasonable rate, in one of the finest Hall's in Europe. They went to the Hall, and as there was an enormous crowd, the man went to get change, as no change would be given at the door, and whilst waiting for that pur pose, the woman was given into custody. He spoke in very strong terms of the conduct of the prosecutor, and contended that he must have lost his money in the crowd outside. He would at present, call it no more than a mistake of the prosecutor. He dwelt on the hard.hips suffered by the prisoners being confined since Saturday night. When he spoke to them, and heard their case, he told them they must be discharged, when they re plied, " that would be very poor compensation for their feelings and character." He called Mr. James Hamilton, the conductor of Messrs. Bathgate and Wilson's house, and he gave the prisoners an excellent character, and said he was instructed by the firm to do so. He hap pened to be present on Saturday night at the Hall, and he offered to go bail for the prisoners, but it was refused. He gave a different version of the case from that of the prosecutor, and said the latter was intoxicated at the time. The prosecutor denied the latter statement, when Mr. Bluck asked the Gfficer in what state Mr. Yates was? and he replied, " he was certainly, the worse for liquor." Prosecutor : I was not. Police man : You were, certainly. His Worship said, lie had no doubt whatever that it was a case of mistaken iden tity on the part of the prosecutor, and he hid no hesita tion in saying, th it the prisoners left the court without the slightest imputation on their character. Mr. Black was very glad to hear his Worship say so, as it would prove of some consolation to them. He would, however, communicate with Mr. Yates in another way. The prisoners were then discharged. (Both wept bitterly whilst in the dock.) They seemed respectable persons in their position, and the case excited some interest. BEFORE MR. AIKIN. 333 " 38 " 76 " 111 " DISORDERLIES.—A very great number of drunk and disorderly persons, who had been apprehended since Saturday night, were brought up and fined or imprisoned for various terms for disturbing the peace o' the streets. ASSAULTING A POLICE INSPECTOR.—A ruffianly—looking fellow, who gave his name as Sandy Law, a female, named Agnes Lloyd, with a child in her arms, and another female, named Mary Welsh, were charged with assaulting Inspestor Skinner, on the previous night. The Inspector stated, that he was going towards home about half-past eleven o'clock on the previous night, and when in William Henry street, the mile prisoner came up and struck him a violent blow in the face, saying, "this is the b —." He had his hands in his pocket at the time, and therefore could not prevent the blow, but instantly held up his hands, saying, "I am an officer," being at the time in private clothes. Whi?e employed in holding the man back, another man came up and struck him another blow in the face. Being alone, he deemed it advisable to make a retreat, and seek the aid of another officer, which he did, and then went and apprehended the prisoner. He was again attacked, but succeeded in securing the prisoner. On their way to the station, the two females assaulted him and also attempted to rescue the prisoner. For the defence, it was alleged that the Inspector had been making improper overtures to the female Lloyd. The Magistrate fined Law 20s, or one month's imprisonment, and sent the two females to g aol for three days each, stating that had he not believe.] that they had mistaken the inspector for some other person, the punishment would be much more severe. DESERTING FROM A SHIP.—Four foreign sailors were charged with being deserters from the ship Emma Goodwin, the property of Messrs. Perrin and Co., of this town. The evidence went to show that the sailors all shipped at Antwerp for a voyage to Quebec, Montreal, and then to a port in the United Kingdom. The vessel put into Newfoundland in a leaky state, and then it was that they deserted the ship and joined the Merianda They were all four clearly identified as those who had deserted. In their defence, they alleged that the captain had been drunk for three weeks before they left the ship; that he had drunk the wine, and accused the crew of stealing it ; and that, on the day that they left the ship, he hod gone to the forecas - le in a state of drunkenness, and told them to take their clothes and go ashore, which they did. This statement was corrob 'rated by a boy who was on board the ship at the time, and the Magistrate ord red them to be discharged, observing that the loss incurred to the owners had been from their placing their property in the hands of a drunken captain. Had it not been so, he should have severely punished them for deserting. 850 " Portland to Detroit on Broad guage linen Narrow Gunge lines— Detroit to Chicago Chic ago to Mississippi River at Rock Island-- 182 " Reck Island to lowa City 5B " 522 " Total length of road from Portland to lowa - City 1,372 miles. From Toronto west the Grand Trunk line is completed to St. Mary's, 91 miles, which is to be extended to London, 19 miles, the coming year, making a double line between Toronto and London. From London a single line will be extended to Sarnia, operated for the use of the Great Western and Grand Trunk companies. From Toronto north a line extends to Lake Huron at Collingwood, on the 5 1-2 feet gauge, a distance of 96 miles, so that the completion of the railway to Toronto furnishes a perfect connection between the seaboard at Portland and the Far West. IMPRISONMENT OF A. CLERGYMAN FOR MISAPPROPRIATING CHARITABLE CON TRIBUTIONS. - A painful case was heard at the close of the proceedings in the Lancashire Insolvent Court lately, against the Rev. Arundel Verity, late incumb en t o f All Saints' Church, Habergham Eaves, near Brunley, Lancashire. The insolvent was opposed on the ground that he had preached a sermon in his own church, in May, 1855, on behalf of the Patagonian Missions, and afterwards appropriated the amount of the collection made on that occasion to his own purposes ; and that he had received £l5O from the Church Missionary Society, partly as salary in advance, and partly for his outfit. The judge (Hr. John Addison), in making a final order (the case of the insolvent having twice before been partly heard), said, the charges against the insolvent were the most extraordinary and painful that had ever come before him. The insolvent (his honour continued) had given evidence before a bankruptcy commissioner regarding the receipt of £350 from Mr. Turner, a bankrupt, in which he stated that that money was a loan which Mr. Turner had repaid to him. The:commissioner, however, disbelieved his evidence, and directed the official assignee to bring an action against him for the recovery of the £350. A verdict was on that occasion returned for the defendant, but on a second trial the verdict was against him, and he was thereupon lodged in prison, for the amount of the verdict and costs at the suit of the official assignee. The bankrupt (Turner), in whose estate the insolvent was mixed up, was his father in-law ; and it might be that Turner, finding him se lf b ankrupt, h a d made a puree for himself,' and had intrusted the money to his son-n-law. The insolvent had also been charged with receiving two sums of money, of £lO and £5O, towards the erection of a public parsonage, and with subsequently applying those sums to his own purposes. His account was, that the money had been subscribed for a private residence, and he had made out a list of names, with a view to show that he had received various sums for the erection of a parsonage, from his relativts and friends. He (the judge) believed that the sums placed opposite to the names were fictitious, and had no existence, except in the imagination of the insolvent. There was a further charge against him of mis appropriating the amount of the collections after the sermon on beh a lf o f the Patagon i an Mi ss i on F un d , an d o f retainin g £4 55.. the funds of a sick society in existence among his parishioners, of which he was the founder. There was likewise the fact of receiving £l5O from the Patago n i an Mission Fund, which he had not accounted for in his s c h e d ule. He had ab a ndoned the i dea of going to Pat agonia, and had aft e rwards gone to the Crim ea , f or which h e h ad purchased a complete outfit, amounting to £6O, which was still unpaid. Among his debts was one of £26 for wines, and he had contracted many others by way of loans, for which he had given personal security, Taking into consideration all the circumstances, therefore, and remembering that two others had been brought before that court through becoming his securities, he (the judge) felt bound, althou g h w ith great pain, consid er i ng h i s station in life, to rem and him for s i x months. IN THE FIRE AT MESSRS. BROA.DWQ94'S.--TIIO list of subscriptions towards replacing the workmen? tools is, we are informed, on the point of being closed. The amount in hand is about .£l,Bso,and a further sum, little short of £lOO, is expected to be realised by the recent fete which was given, spontaneously and unasked, by the liberal proprietors of Cremorne Gardens. Ineluding the amount of insurance (some £l,lOO odd) the work!, men will come off with a deficit of something like £250 only—a small proportion of the gross amount of loss, which, we believe, was upwards of £3,500. WHALING EXTRAORDINARY.—A Yankee skipper is at present in Manchester for the purpose of getting two rifles of a peculiar character made by Mr. Whitworth, mechanical engineer; they are each 401 b weight, and are intended to shoot whales that cannot be approached and killed in the ordinary method. The barrel is only 20 inches long, rifled polygonally to describe one turn in the length. The projectile is a shell of 31b weight, six inches long, fired from the shoulder, with 2 drains of powder, and having a charge inside of 4oz. The skipper states that he killed three whales last season, out of forty fired at with a bomb, in the shape of an arrow, 2) inches long, and having India-rubber wings to guide its flight. The rest spouted blood, hut got away. owing to the length of the bomb detracting from its destructiveness. religious ceremotnhye.lutelrt_ They are 100 feet long, and weigh 200 tons.

Several police officers deposed that drunken persons were seen coming out of the hous;. , , and two men, paid by the police to ask for drink, were furnished with drink, though not members of the club. It appeared, h o wever, that the men had gone in with members, and the liquor was brought to them in bottles on which a member's name was written. Neither the house nor the clubmaster were licensed. Liquor was given out and paid for. The drink was ordered from the clubmaster. There was a reading-hall and dining-room, but no sleeping. rooms. The entrance money was seven guineas, the annual subscription two gu ineas. The clubmaster's salary was £1.50 a-year. He had no profit. Several members of the club were examined. They said they joined it because they could get no drink anywhere else. There are 300 members. The keeper is paid by salaiy. The Court decided th a t the charge was proved, and fined the defendant £l3, op three months' imprisonment
