TaE POLICE.—The number of police of England and Wales, according to a return made up to Michaelmas lest, was 20,597, which would give one policeman for . every 870 persons. But of course the number varies , greatly in different parts of the country. • In Mend-les ' ter it is one for 502 residents; in Liverpool, one for 302; in the city of London, one for 210. In rural populations it is much smaller; in Suffolk only one in 1.602. The cost of the force for the. year was £1,485,029, of which the Government contributed £310,205.

Mr. Churchwarden Y. , Vrapper occupied the chair, and the other gentlemen .present were Messrs. Critchley, Whitty, Satchell, Smith, 4 " Scott, Williams, E. Byford. - The medical re ort for the ' week stated that the number of cases at last report was 682 ; new cases, 180 ; discharged, 137; died, 25 ; re-, =lining under treatment, 601.

The other business was of no public interest. Twn ELLESMERE - STATUE.—A commission having been given by the present Earl of Ellesmere to Mr. • Noble, the etninent sculptor, for a tribute to the memory I- of the late Earl (better known to many as Lord Francis •( Egerton), the artist has completed a recumbent statue, representing the deceased nobleman lying at full length ' with the arms placed crosswise on the breast, the body being folded in the robes of a Knight of the Garter. • The figure is rather over life-size, and is cut from a solid block of the finest Carrara marble; the treatment is 'entirely successful, the features exhibiting a solemn se renity and perfect repose, as well as bearing a striking resemblance to the departed. The work'has been visited ' daring the month at the studio, Bruteri-street, London, .by many. connoisseurs and friends. and admired, not only for its artis' tie Merit, but ash graceful and affectionate memorial of one greatly beloved for his amiable quail ties, and so justly celebrated for his princely patronage of the fine arts in general during his life. The statue • will in a few days be conveyed to Worsley, the family seat in Staffordshire. THE Tit/Jammu RIFLES.—The oath of allegiance - was administered to the 20th Cheshire' Volunteers, or Cheshire Rifles (Capt. Nicholson), by Mr. Harden, judge of the Birkenhead County Court. The interesting ceremony was performed in a field belonging to Mr. Gill, at Higher Vriurmere. Detachments of the Claughton and Oxton, :Birkenhead, Rock Ferry, and Tranmere corps were pre sent, under their various commanders. The number of. spectators was very large ; and the proceeding's were enlivened by the presence of two brass hands. The 'volunteer company were put through their evolutions by Captain Cadell. The appearance of the men of all the corps was very satisfactory; and the state of effici eney at which the Tranmere Rifles have arrived—taking ( 1 into consideration the comparatively short time they have been in oxistence—is highly complimentary to them. Mr. Harden expressed his sincere admiration at tie proficiency displayed by the corps; and made a few general remarks on the state of the country, and called • fel. three cheers for the Queen, which were vociferously - "reworded. Thanks were given to Mr. Harden for his attendance, at the instigation of Captain Nicholson ; and &Lola the other corps, for their presence. Corm COVRT.—Yesterday, 'J. K. Blair, Esq., committed the following debtors to prison :—Humphrey Bridge, 40, Pellew-streetfourteen days, in a fortnight ; Peter M'Dougal, 16 and 18, Houghton-street, fourteen in - i month; Robert Campbell, s.s. Arexis, Wel -liugton-dock, fouiteen days; Robert . . Grimes, 68, Athol street, fourteen days, in a month, to pay 20s. ; Niehael Daly, 18, 'Court, Chisenhale-street, fourteen days, in a month; and John Houghton, 10, Sandown terrace, Sandown-lane, fourteen days, in a month.—A - case of a little importance occupied the attention of the court for some time. The plaintiff was a, publican named Deary; and the defendant another publican, named Cole, *io were respectively represented by ttiesag. Gray and Almond. It appeared that the defen dant took a house from the plaintiff in Waterloo-road far 4800, *ad the result of their commercial intercourse left•the former iu a debt of Bs. 74d. On the 14th of • March, at the time the defendant profferred his last payment, they went to a public-house, where they partook of a large number of bottles Of champagne. The result was a fight, in which the plaintiff came off • victoriously or not, does not appear—but shorn of tis clothes, veined at £3 95., which was inserted in the Emmons, making the total the amount sued for— £s 19s. 7p. His Honoar deferred judgment. MATRIMONIAL DIFFICULTIES.—At the County Magis- trate? Court, yesterday, before Messrs. Campbell and Preston, a gentleman named Burkitt, was summoned- for assaulting his wife, Emma Burkitt. Mr. Black appeared on behalf of the plaintiff; the defendant was defended by Mr. Campbell. Mr. Bluck in his opening remarks ''descrlbed the case as a most unfOrtunate affair. The family were very respectably connected ; and at a former period of their history had enjoyed affluence. Latterly, 4oweYer, fortune had turned against them, and a series of unfortunate squabbles had from time to time taken place. ffe called Mrs. Emma Burkitt, who deposed that the had been married to the defendant for 21 years, awl had had by him ten children, three of whom att en d e d • • nil witnesses. She and her family were at present rssidiug in a furnished house, for which she paid forty five guineas a-year. Tier husband not having contri buted anything for the last two years towards her sup port, she had been obliged to obtain a living by making fancy work. On the 22nd inst., she was engaged in cooking some steaks for dinner, when her husband rushed into' the kitchen, violently pushed her aside, Upset the meat into the fire, stamped upon the fryingpan, strewed the potatoes about, and threatened to strike her voilt4 the stand, used the most disgraceful language b. towards her and her daughter, and at last struck her on the arm. lie then proceeded upstairs with a hammer in his hand for the purpose of taking all the sr bolts away from the doors; and whilst in the parlour he I:Accidentally struck her with the hammer. This was the third instance of his cruelty toward her. Cross , g-amined by Mr. Campbell : She positively affirmed that 'the defendant had not supported her, nor eontri v huted toward her support since he deserted her two pare ago at Caernarvon, in N - Fales. His brother, how ; ever, had allowed her per month, but not on his ;41 account, nqr through his hands. During the whole of the time she had given him a share of the food which she had provided for her children, but had certainly taken her breakfast in her room in order to avoid his e _9 Ol2 PanY , She desired a separation from him as it was perfectly impossible for them to live comfortably together, so violent was his. temper and disgraceful his mallet. For the last eight weeks they had not slept together, nor had she sent his clothes to the wash. 11! giSa Caroline Matilda Burkitt gave corroborative f:44snee, and admitted that on the occasion of the 441.1.1 t. she had struck her father. Mr. Black . OXVlhirrect that the object of these proceedifigs were not t i c e i obtain a fine,'but 'to get the defendant bound over; and 41 the former' part of the case he offered to with . taw tile summons provided the defendant' Would eseilt to a separation. This coune was objected to. Mr. CaMpbeli'addressed the magistrates, who bound the Ai: • • defendant ovgr in his own recognizance to keep the peace for twelve months. They also expressed their opinion that the conduct of the wife and daughter was most reprehensible.—Edward Owen, cabman, the party who fought with Maxwell, who was bound over on Wednesday, was also bound over to keep the peace for twelve months. The magistrates hoped the conduct of these men would receive the consideration of the - :Watch Committee. CASE OF STABBlNO.—Yesterday, a seaman named Daniel Gleason. second mate on board the American ship Benjamin - K. Melan (now lying in the Victoria Dock), was taken to the Northern IlOpital, having, according to his own account, received a stab on the left thigh, about ten days ago at sea. The matter will, no doubt, form a case for investigation. DEATH FROM EXCESSIVE DRlNt.lNG.—Ysterday, an impost was held by Mr. Churton, at Fernihough's Hotel, Tranmere, on the body of Daniel Davies, 40 years of age, a seamen on board the Neath Castle, from. Milford Haven. Dr. Craig had made a post mortem examination of the body, and stated the cause of death 'to have been the result of excessive drinking. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. Ms QUEEN'S COROXATION.—Yesterday was the anni versary of the coronation of her Majesty Queen Victoria. Flags were hoisted upon most of the public • buildings, and also upon the ships in the river and docks. During the day a great number of persons visited her Majesty's ship Majestic, which was . specially thrown open for their inspection upon this occasion, and from which, at mid ay, a rpyttl salute was fired. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. MISS L. KEELEY AND MISS WYNDHA.II Last night these charming actresses again appeared. The acting was spirited, and the singing delightful. " The Little Treasure," " First Affections," and " Puss" (first time in Liverpool), are the pieces for to night: THE .HEALTH COMMITTEE.. The weekly meeting of this committee was held yes terday ; Alderman Dover presided, and-the other mem bers present were Messrs. Sheil, Nickson, Ridley, Crellin, Beckwith, Bowring, Haydock, Job, Steel, and Barton. The Medical Officer reported that the health of the town was in a satisfactory state. The only diseases whose mortality is somewhat above the average are those of the respiratory organs, in consequence of the state of the weather up to the end of last week. The total number of deaths during the week ending Saturday was 187, being 29 less than the corrected average of former years. The deaths in the parish were 120; in the out-townships, 67. No death was recorded in Exchange Ward : this is the first instance of the kind which has occurred since the Sanitary Act came into operation. Diseases of the lungs, with consumption, caused 73 deaths, the corrected average being 66 ; from zymotic diseases not more than 22 deaths were recorded, against an average of 58 in the same week of former years; of these measles caused 6 ; scarlatina, 3 ; diar rhcea, 3; hooping-cough, diphtheria, syphilis, each 1. The temperature was low throughout the week, the mean being 57 deg. 10 min., while the average of the same week of former years was 61 deg. 10 min. Rain fell on three days last week to the extent of 38-100ths of an inch. The Borough Engineer, Building Surveyor, and the Inspector of Nuisances, reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the week, from which it appeared that 230 nuisances com plained of by inhabitants bad been inspected and means taken to remedy them; 1,191 houses in the unhealthiest districts, containing 3,768 apartments and 471 collars, had been put under examination with the view of im proving their sanitary condition. In the proceedings of the Smoke Committee, a letter was included, in which Mr. Robert Wignall signified his willingness to resign his situation, and to give every advice and assistance to his successor. KERSEY DOCKS AND HARBOUR BOARD The. usual weekly meeting of this board was held yesterday. Mr. Charles Turner, chairman, presided ; and the , following gentlemen were also present :—Messrs. Tobin, Laird, Boult, Rankin, Arnold, Faramorth, Brocklebank, Rounthwaite, Forwood, Darbyshire, Lockett, Evans, Moss, Langton, Inman, Shand, and Littledale. The minutes of last meeting were read and confirmed. WORKS COMMITTEE. The 'Minutes of this committee contained recommen dations to the effect that the offer of Messrs. G. T. Chadbird and Co. to supply 2,000 tubular bricks at 4P. each ; and of Messrs, John Lomax and Co., to supply a quantity of fine bricks, at 80s. per thousand; and six tons of fine clay, at 21s. per ton, be accepted ; also, that the purchase by Mr. Stewart of 1,287 square yards of land on the north side of Wallasey Pool be confirmed. The minutes further stated that the solicitor had been authorised to issue notices to quit to parties occupying property at Nova Scotia, their terms of lease having expired. A deputation had attended on behalf of the timber trade, with reference to -acquiring a piece of land at the east end of the Huskisson Dock for the pur pose of storage. Mr. Brocklebank moved and Mr. Tobin seconded the adoption of the minutes. Mr. BOULT was desirous of knowing the price that had been paid by the board for the land to the east of Wallasey Pool. He had seen a report in the newspapers, from which it appeared, so, far as he could gather, that in this matter the board had the worst of it. He wished to know how they had come into such a position ? The CHAIRMAN said that this was rather a delieate matter, and at any rate it ought to be discussed when law and finance matters came up. MR. Bourir remarked that the board was in a very unpleasant position before the public, and le therefore eonsidered that some explanation should -be made. The SOLICITOR (Mr. North) said, that he supposed the case referred to by Mr. Boult was, that a Mr. Barton, who was the leaseholder on the property which the board, a short time ago, had purchased from the trustees of the late Mr. Woodward, of Seicombe. The claims made by Mr. Barton was for eight years and a half ; but these were subsequently altered, and it was found he had no legal claim for more than a year and a half, the remaining seven having been promised him on conditions which had never taken effect, and would not take effect—that condition being that the terms were to be exacted if the property was not previously sold. It had been previously sold to that board, and that, it was contended, was an end of the claim. From the very first they had been advised by Mr. Lloyd on the subject to that effect, who had attended. a council at the inquiry before the jury at Woodside, in January last. Upon his (Mr. Lloyd's) advice, seconded even more strongly by Mr. Quain, the board applied to the Court of Queen's Bench with the view of reducing the verdict come to by the jury from £1,300 to what might be an adequate compensation for the term of a year and a-half. In that application the board failed; they considered that they had a good case, but the decision just showed the uncertainty which arose from. depending on courts of law. Mr. BOULT observed that the solicitor hal not explained why the arbiter gave a decision against the board. The So',tenon—There was a verdict of the jury. Mr. BOULT—Who was the assessor? The. SOLICITOR—He was appointed by the sheriff of Cheshire. The CirninmAN—lt was a legal arbitration before inquiry. The matter has gone through its course and we cannot now alter it. Mr. RIDLEY said he objected to Mr. Wignall's giving advice to his successor. He had heard that Mr. Wignall was in great danger of being dismissed ; and if that were so, he had no right to dictate his own terms to the committee. After some further discussion it was suggested by Mr. Sheil, and agreed to, that Mr. Wignalts services cease from the time of the receipt of the letter. The ENGINEER reported that to carry out the improvements at St. Domingo Pit, in accordance with the plan, would cost £450. He also submitted for the approval of the committee a specification for excavating in Great Mersey-street and Gore-street North, and for embanking and filling up Rake-lane and Sandwhite lane. The committee recommended that the same be approved. Mr. RIDLEY said that, in conjunction with Mr. Shimmin,he appeared as a deputation from the Markets Committee: The . object of the deputation was to ask this committee to remove froM the Markets Committee the obligation to pay £2O per year for sweeping Islington Market.. No . .charge was made for sweeping Queen's square and Great Charlotte-street Markets; and as the one he referred to was swept by the same people, he thought the Markets Committee ought not to be saddled with this expense. Mr. CRELLIN asked the engineer what it would cost the committee to keep it clean, if it was not occupied by tenants of the Markets Committee ? The ExorxErn replied that the other places which were used as markets were streets, and were conse- quently swept 'without any expense to the Markets Com mittee, but it was not so with Islington Market. Mr. RIDLEY said the Markets Committee were quite willing to have it done; but they believed it could be done for virtually nothing,—the refuse being sufficient to pay for it. Mr. Ridley then moved that the motion .passed at the last meeting of this committee, respecting the payment of £2o.a-year by.the Markets Committee, be rescinded The motion was seconded by Mr. Nickson. On a division there were five members for the rescind ing and five against it. The chairman gave his casting vote against the rescinding of the motion, and it was accordingly retained. This concluded the business. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. • (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) THE KNIFE AMONGST WOMEN. Mary Collins, a married woman, who lives in Ilea Port land-street, was charged with having stabbed Margaret Allen. Mr. Block was for the prisoner. The complainant said the prisoner entered her house the previous night about nine o'clock, whilst she was at her tea, and took a knife off the table and struck'her on the' head, inflicting a smart wound. Cross-examined by Mr. Bluck : I keep a house for females; the 1 risoner came to ask for same money that Lowed her, but 1 had not got it, and told her she could not get blood out of a stone. Mr. Bluck : And then she took it out of your head ? Witness : Yes, and a good deal of it too. A young woman was called to corroborate the complainant's statement; and in reply to Mr. Bluck this witness said she was in jail at least a hundred times. Mr. Raffles asked the officer if he got any blood on the knife,lwhen the prosecutrix replied---No, I wiped the blood off the knife to cut -bread a .d butter with it. (Laughter.) A surgeon proved that the wound was a smart one, but he did not apprehend any danger from it. Mr. Bluck called on his worship to dispose of the case summarily. The prisoner was remanded for a week. TAKING CARE OF CAREFUL—THE LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT. A man named John Careful, was brought up by Officer 184, who charged him for loitering about Berry-street, at half-past twelve the previous night. 11r. Bluck (for prisoner) : Why did you take him up ? Because he keeps a brothel. Mr. Raffles : You had no right to take him up for that if he were doing nothing. Mr. Bluck : Oh. he was taking care of Mr. Careful; but he had no right to take him up at all, as it is a gross violation of the liberty of the subject. Mr. Kehoe : Tell the magistrate Why you took him up ; don't you know he is a returned convict ? Mr. Bluck : But that is no reason he should be prevented from walking the streets. Mr. Raffles (to the officer) : What did you take him up for? Officer : For nothing at all. Mr. Bluck : But -. Mr. Raffles : He had no right to bring him here. If lie saw him trying doors, or going into passages, or the like, it would be a different thing ; but I will not keep him here on this charge. The prisoner was discharged. DISHONEST CHARWOMAN. Mary Nicholson was charged for having stolen a quantity of articles out of the house of Mrs. Preston, Abercromby square. Mr. Bluck defended. It appeared that sonic time ago the prisoner was recommended to Mrs. Preston as char woman. and some days ago certain articles were missed, and the police, on searching the prisoner's place, got a portion of the missing articles. The prisoner was remanded for a week, in order to make further inquiry. ROBBERY OF DRAFTS. Mary Thomas and Mary Piers were brought up on remand, charged on suspicion of being concerned in a robbery of bank drafts, to the amount of £l5O, belonging to Mr. Henry Connor, fruiterer, John's Market, on the night of the 11th instant. The facts of this case were published in our paper a few days awo. The prosecutor was robbed of his bills in Lime-street, and subsequently the prisoners offered a £3O draft (one of those stolen) for payment at a bullion office, when they were stopped. Several witnesses were called to prove the case, when Mr. Bluek addressed the court, contending that the draft was found at Newton races, by the prisoner Piers, who sent the other woman to change it. The prisoners were sent for trial at the sessions. WIFE BEATING. A cooper, named Hugh O'Donnell, was brought up on a chafge of having violently assaulted his wife. The prisoner lives in Thomas-street, and it appeared that he was in the habit of getting drunk, and whilst in that state he used to ill-treat his wife. A day or two since he was drunk, and beat the woman, and flung her down stairs, breaking her leg. She is as present in hospital. The prisoner was remanded. • THE Mr. Raffles requested the reporters to acknowledge the receipt of £5 for the poor-box from a gentleman who did not wish his name to be published. (Before Messrs. TYREE and EfougnToN.) cAurroN TO SITU _3 ASTERS. Mr. Cox, one of the pier masters, summoned Capt a i n Chud leigh, master of a vessel called the Louisteen, for having violated the 60th section of the Mersey Docks Consolidation Act, the penalty for which is £2O. The section provides that any master of a ship forcing his vessel into the dock contrary to the direc tions of the pier master, and so as to endanger his own or other ships, becomes liable to the penalty of £2O but the magistrates possess the power of mitigatio n. It appeared that on the 20th instant, the defendant forced his vessel into the Sandon Dock, whilst another and a larger vessel was being taken into the dock. He ran great risk of having his own vessel injured, as well as damaging the Otter. The magistrates Said it was a serious case, and they were doubtful if they should not inflict the full penalty. They hoped . thiS Case would be a warning to masters of vessels in' future and therefore they would fine'hiut only £2 Ns and costs. 1., l' GREAT SUCCESS OF A N EW P ERIODTCAL .--...N0t .I.lg 0 t the periodical character that has come out to o ur time can pretend to a success equal to that whic h a tt e uled the new work which a pp eare d last Saturday, en titled ~ The Volunteer Review." Its first issued reached close upon 30,000.—Panch. Mr. EVANS thought that if the facts stated by the solicitor had come before the jury, he did not see how they could come to such a decision. Mr. BOULT said that this was just another example of the practice which seemed now to prevail in courts of law, by turning the scale against public bodies such as the Dock Boar& and in favour of private individuals. There appeared to be every facility now given to private individuals for plundering the public, and that too . . unduly and unfairly. Why, this was exactly the reverse of what should be the case. They (the board) were delegated by the body of the ratepayers to look after their interests; but there were parties Fho, to gain a certain advantage, would ettcrifice the interests of the trust, which ought to be supported and encouraged, and if any partiality was shown it should be in their 'avotir." He thought that they ought to prOtest against the decision. The CHAIRMAN---I am afraid we cannot alter the decision of the jury. Mr. Evarts—We must alter it by bringing public opinion to bear upon it. The minutes were then confirmed. WAREHOUSE COMMITTEE. The minutes of this committee embraced no point of public interest. On the motion of Mr. Arnold they were confirmed. MARINE COMMITTEE. The minutes of this committee contained a recom mendation that the offer of Messrs. Bauoioft and Com pany, to'supply 6 000 gallons of refined olive oil at ss. per gallon, be accepted. Mr. Langton moved the confirmation of the minutes which was adopted. PILOTAGE COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee embraced no fea ture of interest. On the motion of Mr. Moss, the minutes were confirmed. DOCKS AND QUAYS COMMITTEE. The minutes of this committee stated that the subject of better graving dock accommodation had been under the consideration of the committee, and had been remit ted to the Harbour master for a report on the subject. Mr. Lockett moved their confirmation, which was agreed to. THE INDEMNITY QUESTION. The Docks and Quays Committee had also the question of the bond of indemnity from the owners of vessels entering Morpeth-dock, Birkenhead, under con sideration at their meeting on the 13th instant, the result being that the engineer reports it cannot be safely discontinued. Mr. LOCKETT moved the confirmation of this por tion of the minutes. He remarked that in drawing up the form of indemnity the solicitor had tried to meet the views of different parties, but he could not, of course, succeed in pleasing all ; and he (the solicitor) was of opinion that the indemnity was absolutely necessary, in order to keep the estate safe. The CLERK read the form of indemnity, which was as follows : ETRVENU'RAD nbexs. I request permission for my ship to enter the Dock ; but Ido so with full knowledge on the part of myself and my owners, that the dock is (of neces sity) at prese,it in a defective state of repair and subject to much leakage ; and that if from the latter, or any other cause, my ship shall ground in the dock, and receive damage either as to her hull or cargo, such damage is to be at the sole risk of her owners, and that they are to indemnify the board from all consequences. - Mr. LAIRD, referring to the words "With full know ledge on the part of myself and my owners," said he did not see how any honest man could sign that declara tion. It bade the captain state as of his own know ledge what he only knew by hearsay. The SOLICITOR remarked that in advising the exac tion of a document he did not think he included a sacrifice of character. It was quite true that the document imputed to the owner a knowledge of the state of the dock. It was not a personal knowledge, however, but a legal knowledge. The words meant a notice, expressed or implied of the owners' knowledge. If they were omitted from it he thought it would be needless and inopportune to use the document at all. He might say also that precisely the same document, containing the very words obje:..ted to, was used in six docks in Liverpool, and instead of it being an objection, he had the authority of the Harbour Master for saying that they were eagerly sought for. After a few remarks from Mr. Darbyshire, Mr. LAIRD considered that there ought to be two separate documents—one for the captain, and another for the owners. At present the captain was placed in a very false position, and he could not accept the inter pretation given by Mr. North. The captain was called upoa to state as a fact what he only knew from the representations of others. Mr. EVANS considered the discussion was a mere quarrelling with words. The document embodied the conditions on which parties would be allowed to use the dock. The CHAIRMAN said that in the Wellington Half tide Dock, for instance, as well as other five on the Liverpool side of the water, the indemnity was asked for and willingly given. In regard to Birkenhead, it was perfectly clear that there was danger to vessels entering the dock, and if the board was to allow a vessel to enter without au indemnity they would, doubtless, be liable in a sum of money which might be very large. A legal indemnity was therefore required —an indemnity drawn out in such terms as would satisfy the solicitor—. before allowing any vessel to enter the duck. W e could not alto' ships to enter it while the works were in progress as the liabilities were so enormous. They must have an indemnity or nothing ; as it was, however, the matter was a legal one. Mr. LOCKETT did not think that any captain took a vessel to Birkenhead without obtaining the consent of the consignees. The minutes were then confirmed. THE MASTER PORTERAGE .BYELAW. The following report was then considered as, read REPORT. At a meeting of the Committee for the Department of Master Porterage, held this 6th day of June, 1 660—Present : Samuel James Arnold, Esq., in the chair, &c. The following report On the evidence given to the Committee on the subject of the operation of the e)cisting Laws for the qovernmant of Master Porters, was directed to be laid before the Board, viz : _ _ Many cases of dispute having come before the Committee for the department of Master Port9'age, arising out of the opera tion Of the Act of Parliament and the Bye-laws of the Board, in reference to the porterage of ships' inward cargoes, particu larly as it gards the cargoes of steam-ships, an enquiry upon the subject has, in accordance with a general desire expressed by the board, been instituted by this committee, and evidence has bean taken from parties representing the Associated Mer cantile Bodies, and from individuals interested iu the commerce of the port, as well as from persons practically acquainted with "That the security of £2OO, given by the master porter, under section 36 of the " Consulidation Act," 18.58, be increased to £5OO, under which security a master porter shall be em powered to act as a master lumper also, if duly appointed to that duty; and that so much of the bye-laws as prohibits a master lumper from acting as a master porter be repealed ; but that there shall be no obligation or necessity imposed upon the same party to act at any vessel in the double capacity of lumper on board the ship and master porter on the quay, unless he be duly appointed to both duties by properly authorised parties." "That the giving the security in the sum of ,E5OO shall no: alone entitle the party applying to obtain a license to act as a master porter and master lamper if, in the opinion of the Board, he is not, in other respects, a properly qualified person." " That the master porter shall be held responsible for the correct weighing and measuring of tile goods committed to his care, and the furnishing of a correct account of such weights and measurement, in a reasonable time, to each consignee, in consideration of which a small additional charge, to be here after fixed, shall be made to the mister porters' rates." "That persons acting as master lumpers only, be requir ed to give security to the amount of £2OO, and be miler the same control by the Board as the master porters ; the appointment of the lumper for the purpose of discharging the cargo to be in all cases made by the owner or consignee of the ship," " The appointinent of surveyors for each dock or district, whose duty it shall be to examine the stowage of all inward Cargoes, and the causes of damage thereto, and to furnish certificates thereof to the merchant and shipowner, upon pay ' ment by them of a suitable fee to the Dock Trust; and whose further duty it shall be to give information for the levy of fines where goods remain upon the quay beyond the allotted tine, and to ex.ercise a general suneriutendence over, and to report weekly to the Board upon the state of the traffic upon the dock quays, and upon any irregularities on the part of any licensed lumper or master porter ; the surveyors to have power at all times during the working or discharging of the cargo to go on board any ship lying in the open docks." "lii the meantime, the committee recommend an amend ment or altert4ion in the bye-law, by which alteration the porterage of stcam7ships will, in all cases, be placed under the control of the owners or consignees of those ships ; but shall commence only from the time when the goods or produce are placed on the quay." " The committee recommend en alteration in the rates authorised to be charged upon the articles undermentioned, viz. PROPOSED POItTERAGE RATES. Pro- Present posed Rates. Rates. s. d. s. d.

Mr. ARNOLD, in a; speech of considerable length and much ability, moved - the adoption of the report. He recapitulated the vaeious points embraced in the above document dwelling {upon each, and showing the im provement that would' be effected by the changes pro posed. He was listeneff to *with great attention. Mr. ROVNTHWAITE 4donded the motion, Mr. DAnnysigAn said., lie had read the report very carefully, and he thought it was a great improvement on the present mode of working the docks and quays. With respect to the licensing of maker lumpers, he did not think that the power of employing whoever they pleased could be •taken out of the hands of the owners. The exaction of 'a bond of security was also a good feature, as it would tend to give owners more con fidence in the man they selected. As to the weighing of goods on the cituYs, it - would throw a great amount of responsibility on the masters, 410 he did not know exactly how it could be carried out. There was some difficulty in the way of that, but the objection might be obviated. if was also in favour of the ap pointment of surveyors as proposed in the report; but he thought it was lowering them below their position to cause them to be informers for the purpose of levying fines. With respect to the master porters, , however, if the largest consignee chose to insist on being his own master porter, he did not see how the 1 ?q44. 0 °4 1 object. F the nature of the work, an abridged report of which evidence is prefixed, The committee have to draw attention to the fact that the evidence so taken, and the opinions elicited, are of a most con flicting character ; various interests and customs have grown up with the present system, leading to an indisposition in some quarters to interfere with it ; but, upon the whole, it is evident to the committee that the mode of conducting the important work of discharging the cargoes of ships, and the clearing of quays when the produce is landed,•is unsatisfactory as regards not only the interests of the Dock Trust, but also the interests of shipowners and consignees of prodqee. • Under the present system the board possesses no power or control over lumpera or persons engaged in "discharging" the cargoes of ships ; and any person, whether properly qualified or not, provided he give the required security for £2OO, obtains a license to act as master porter, i.e., "to weigh, examine, assort, and load off," a cargo of produce, often of numerous and intricate marks, and of various descriptions, and in which many different parties arc interested, the right to perform such duty being founded upon the largest or second largest amount of freight being paid by the party acting as master porter ; the majority of persons so qualified and 'registered are merchants and shipowners; but these persons, for the most part, take no practical interest in the work, but delegate it to others, who perform the duty in their name, often with partiality to par ticular importers, and frequently, it is to be feared, leading to the infliction of injustice upon individuals in the matter of fines ; there can be no doubt whatever, and it has been discovered in the course of this enquiry, that the bye-laws of the board are in practice constantly evaded, and this com mittee are frequently occupied with the settlement of dis putes between rival claimants to the privilege of master porterage, and with complaints of the infraction of the bye-laws; in some instances, where, from the nature of the cargo and the amount of labour to be performed, the rates are unreruunetative, the largest and second largest consignees refrain from putting in a claim to the porterage; the respon sibility of the work falls then, with some injustice, upon the consignee of the vessel, or upon the professional master porter whom he employs ; and, on the other hand, it is in evidence that money payments are sometimes made for a transfer of the work. The manner of weighing and measuring produce is very unsatisfactory; no sufficient responsibility in this respect is attached to the office of master porter to furnish accounts of the weights to the different consignees ; such accounts are generally obtained by each party interested sending a clerk or porter to obtain the accouat front the weight-taker as he best can, and too often, it is feared, the weight-list is only obtained by the payment of a fee. In frequent cases, particularly where property of much value is conoerued, buyers and sellers decline to act upon the weight or measure so taken, and the operation is again performed, entailing, consequently, a double expense ; in this respect the warehouse docks are found to exhibit a great advantage, the declared quantities of the of of this trust being taken as possessing an authority seldom open to dispute or doubt. The operation of the present bye-laws is declared, and as it appears to the committe, with considerable authority, to be inconsistent with the efficient working of the large steam shipping trade of the port; practically in this trade, they are, to a great extent, set aside and rendered inoperative ; and although some objections on the part of consignees of produce by these ships, and some cases of hardship or irregularity in dealing with their goods, have been stated, the committee are, upon the whole, satisfied that the steam shipping companies perform the work, when, as is generally the case, it falls into their hands, in a manner satisfactory to the consignees of produce by their vessels, and as regards quick despatch, the most beneficial to the interests of this estate. If, however, the defects of the present system are so obvious, it mast be admitted that little aid has been afforded to the Committee by any suggestions from the persons, some of much commercial eminence, who have appeared before them; excepting in the steam trade, hardly any two parties have been found to agree in any recommendation to the Com mittee; and, in some instances, deputations from associated bodies have appeared before them, the members of which were by no means in accord, or unanimous upon the subject. The laws bearing upon and cleaning the operation of master porterage being, for the most part, imposed by Act of Par liament, very little can be done by the Board, uxtil further powers are obtained to alter and improve tke present system ; but the Committee recommend, that on the next occasion of the Board promoting any bill in Parliament, power should be taken to amend these laws to egeet the following purposes, viz.:— . THE DAIL [DAY, JUNE 29, 1860. Mr. EVAN'S recommended the postponement of the consideration of the report until next meeting, if it was not urgent. Speaking for himself he had only got a vague idea of what the report contemplated. Be thought that the appointment of surveyor might be attended with great advantages to the port, but he hoped that employment would be provided for them, so that they might not be only occupied in careering round the docks. Mr. ARNOLD said he saw no objection to the discussion being postponed fir a week. It 92 generally argued that the postponement should take place, but that in the meantime it might be serviceable to have an expression of opinion. Several gentleman afterwards spoke on the report; the general feeling being in its favour, subject to the revision of certain clauses. Eventually it was agreed, on the motion of Mr. Arnold, that the subject be postponed till next week, when a specific motion, with reference to the porterage of cargoes by steam boats, would be considered. A letter from Mr. C. E. Rawlius, containing a claim for compensation on account of five houses owned by him at Seacombe having been deprived of sea frontage, was referred to the solicitor. Several other communications, of an unimportant character, were submitted, and referred to committees, after which the Reporters withdrew. THE CHARGE OF MURDER, BY POISON, IN VAUXHALL-ROAD. in February last. I think Dr. Whittle attended de ceased then, as she was poorly. She got well after, and attended to the business. I saw her take medicine her• self in the shop ; Winslow paid her every attention, and was kind to her. Heard her complain of her nephews and nieces ; and that if Winslow did not protect her, they would kill her. Every one in the place made the sago in turn. A young man named Henry attended to the night duty along with Winslow. The deceased was a real lady in her business. Margaret Higgins, the sister of the last witness, who who has been two and a half years iu the service of deceased, was examined, and gave similar evidence, in some respects, to the other witness. Henry Bagman said—l am a grocer by trade, and lived in the house of deceased. I assisted Winslow in the shop at night. Mrs. James was delicate at times; food was taken to her from four to seven in the morning, but not always at the same hours. Her bedroom was at the back of the shop, above. Sometimes Winslow and sOmetimes Margaret took the food, but there was no fixed hour for it. Sago was principally taken of late. Saw Winslow prepare sago for bar, and he took it out of a paper. I remember Sunday, the 10th of this month, bat I can't say the hoar Winslow made sago for her that morning, nor can I swear he made any. I was in bed when Dr. Cameron and two officers came to the house that morning, and was called out of bed to come down to two officers. They asked me some questions about sago, and then I went to bed again. —Examined by Mr. Cobb : The mixing of the sago was not done in secret, but cooked like other things, openly. There was no appointed time, but deceased used to knock when she wanted. I don't think Winslow mixed any for her, without she knocked and ordered it—all was done openly in the shop Inspector William Home, of the detective police, said : On Sunday, the 10th instant, I accompanied Dr. Cameron and Superintendent Behoe to the house of deceased between eleven and twelve o'clock, and saw Winslow in the parlour. Went into the parlour when deceased was in her bedroom. She was then dressing to go to the hospital, as Dr. Cameron had been in a few minutes before. I saw this cup on the table, with a small portion of sago. Deceased said she had eaten some sago out of that cup that morning. Mr. Cobb did not see what a statement made by the deceased had to do with Winslow. The Coroner said, on a trial it would not be evidence, but in this court it would do for the investigation. The witness went on to state that the deceased said Winslow brought the sago about five o'clock. I removed the cup with the sago, and several bottles with medicine, and one containing wine. I sealed them all up, and took the cup with the sago and the bottle of wine to Mr. Edwards. I took possession of a package of sago that was on a shelf in the shop, and took it also to Dr. Edwards. Hearing that Mrs. James had vomited at the hospital, and that antimony was found, I enquired Who made her food. Winslow came to the police-office, on the Wednesday after the 10th, and appeared anxious, and. stated that be had been informed by Dr. Cameron, that poison had been given to Mrs. James. Told him to call the following day, and he did. I then took down a voluntary statement that he made, and read it over to him, and he said it was correct. PUBLICATIONS, The CORNHILL MAGAziNs, No. 7. July, 1860 This periodical is the first fore the month of July which has yet been forwarded to us. This number commences with the first part of Mr. Thackeray' s lec tures on the Four Georges, viz., George the First, which must be familiar to our readers. The writer remarks that,—" The days are over in England of that strange religion of king-worship, when priests flattered princes in the Temple of God; when servility was held to he ennobling duty ; when beauty and youth tried eagerly for royal favour ; and woman's shame was held to be no dishonour. Mended morals and mended man- ners iu courts and people, are among the priceless con sequences of the freedom which George I. came to rescue and secure. He kept his compact with his English subjects ; and, if he escaped no more than other men and monarchs from the vices of his age, at least we may thank him for preserving and transmitting the liberties of ours. In our free air, royal and humble homes have alike been purified ; and Truth, the birthright of high and low among us, which quite fearlessly judges our greatest personages, can only speak of them now in words of respect and regard. There are stains in the portrait of the first George, and traits in it which none of us need admire ; but, among the nobler features are justice, courage, moderation—aud these we may recog nise ere we turn the picture to the wall." Mr. Trollope's excellent and popular novel of " Framley Parsonage" is continued in this numbar. We have three chapters. We have also a useful article, entitled "Physiological Riddles." The poetical contributions are—" A Musical Instrument," by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. This short poem is accompanied with an excellent illustration of " The great god Pan" : " Sweet, sweet, sweet, 0 Pan, • Piercing sweet by the river ; Blending sweet, 0 great god Pan.' The iiun on the hill forgot to die, And the lilies revived and the dragon-fly Came back to dream on the river." The other poems are—" Men of Genius," by Matthew Arnold, and " Vanitas Vanitatuna," by W. M. Thackeray, the best part of which we annex VANITAS VANITATUM. 0 Vanity of vanities 1 .; How wayward the decree. of Pate are ! How very weak the ♦ery wise, How very small the very great are What mean these stale moralities, Sir Preacher, from your desk you mumble Why rail against the great and wise, And tire us with your ceaseless grumble Pray choose us out another text, 0 man morose and narrow-minded Come turn the page—l read the next, And then the nmt, and still I find it.

Ha'k to the Preacher, preaching still I He lifts his voice and cries his :sermon, Here at St. Peter's of Cornhill, As yonder on the Mount of Hermon : For you and me to heart to take (0 dear belored brother readers) To-day, as when the good King spake Beneath the solemn Syrian cedars. THE INQUEST. Yesterday the coroner and a respectable jury proceeded with the inquest in the case of Anne James, whose death is alleged to have been caused by antimony, and on that charge Thomas Winslow is in custody. The case has been before the public since Monday, when the prisoner was brought up before the magistrates at the police-court. It will not, therefore, be necessary to give any further preface to the proceedings of yesterday, as the details speak for themselves. Mr. Cobb appeared yesterday for the prisoner, at the Coroner's Court. The first witness called was Jane Cafferata, wife of Henry Cafferata, an orna mental japanner, residing in No. 6, Barton-street, Man chester.—Deceased was my aunt. Her name was Ann James. She kept an eating-house in Vauxhall-road ; her age was fifty-six. The house is kept open day and night. The establishment consisted of the deceased, Thomas Winslow, and two female servants. Winslow had the management of all. The servants' names are Eliza Higgins and Margaret Higgins, two sisters ; no relations to deceased. Up to December last, I can't say if she enjoyed good health ; she had attacks of a bilious kind, vomiting and purging. I formed the conclusion that they were bilious attacks. In February last I was sent for by Thomas Win slow, who reported she was dying. It was by letter „which I have destroyed ; the words were, "If You wish to see your dear aunt alive, come immediately." On receipt of this I came from Manchester the same night ; I found my aunt very ill; she was in bed. She said, I never expected to see you again. I remained a fort night, and then returned home, leaving her convalescent. I did not see Dr. Cameron. We all provided her with food; she principally took tea, egg, sago, and beef tea. I have prepared sago for her ; that was during the day, until I went to bed. I slept with deceased ; prisoner brought the food every night. He generally brought tea and sago ready prepared for eating. He took the sago from a shelf in the shop, a pound package. During the fort night she was occasionally vomiting and purging. I took no notice how soon * after taking the sago she commenced vomiting. I saw her frequently take sago. After a fort night I went home, and received a letter from my brother, in March, to say that deceased was still unwell. My brother is named Martin Townshend. Early in March I received the letter. I did not thou come, as I was too unwell, but I came over on the 2nd of May, I believe, in consequence of a letter from Winslow, which I have destroyed, I sent for money, £l, which was sent, and the words were, as near as I can recollect, he wished me to come by the next train, as she was veryl ill, On the 3rd of May (Thursday) I found h er i n th e I shop, sitting up, but very much altered for the worse. She kept up for several days, and complained of a pain in the side, and very sick. I slept in the same bed with her. No doctor was in attendance. I was informed Dr. Cameron was the first doctor. She was supplied in the same way as before. I and the servants attended by day, and Winslow by night. Dr. Cameron was sent for—l believe 'Winslow went for him. At that time Winslow did not say she Was dangerously ill. Dr. Cameron attended her for some days. On the Thursday before Whitsun Week, I asked Dr. Cameron his opinion, and he said it was a tumour in the inside. I asked him if it would be advisable to send for my brother Martin, who was at Plymouth—he was in the militia. The doctor said she was in danger. She got better on Saturday again. Dr. Cameron visited her, and found her much better, and I believe he discontinued his visits. She was better on the Monday ; she gat up ; and then con tinued to get better and worse. I think Dr. Cameron gave a prescription on the 11th. When D. Cameron came again, nothing passed between us 110 allusion was made to her being removed to the Hospital. He continued in attendance upon her up to the early part of the present month. He did not make allusion to having her removed; he requested me to keep the eva cuations for his inspection; and I did so. Saturday, June 9th, I prepared sago, and the deceased eat it ; I took the sago out of the package on the shelf. I saw the remainder of the package of sago taken possession of by Horne the inspector. At two o'clock in the morning I took a cup of tea, and at three I retired to bed. I left 'Winslow and Henry Bagley up. My aunt, I think, appeared worse in the night than in the day. This was on the 10th. On that morning I was asleep and 'Win slow did not inform me if he had given sago or not : he did not say so at any time. Dr. Cameron came on the 10th. Dr. Cameron said she must be removed to prevent another occurrence taking place; she was removed that day. 1 saw her occasionally at the hospital : sometimes I saw her, and sometimes I did not. She died last Sun day, 23rd inst. She was possessed of considerable pro perty. I believe she made a will. I had no suspicion that anything improper had been mixed with her food. Winslow was very kind and attentive to her. After the removal of my aunt he said that I had been trying to Palmerize him, as he had been very bad in the bowels and insulted me very much. After some questions of no great importance, Mr. Cobb proceeded to cross-examine the witness, who said— I did not tell my aunt anything. The reason was, I did not want to disturb her, as she was ill. I met him at the door, and he took the key out of his pocket aftd introduced me to her, saying here is Jane. He was in the shop when I met him, and he said come and see her. I think there was only one lodger at that time, and there were a great many rough characters visiting the house, so the door was locked to keep anyone out; that was the time she gradually got better.• Went every night to the hospital to see her, and Winslow went every morning to see her, and expressed great feeling for her, and said the world would he a blank to him without her. Knew the will was made, but was not present when it was executed. Martin was on his way from Devonshire then. I did not hear him say he was to have all the property. Heard my aunt say that Martin would squander money in drink. Never asked her to make a will, nor did my husband. Winslow might have said to her, " Make a will, for it will not shorten your days;" but I don't recollect such a thing. I think Winslow suggested that a respectable attorney should be sent for to make the will. I was not present when my aunt gave instructions in the will. Winslow might have been in bed through drunkenness when the will was signed, but not through illness. I know my aunt bad a gold watch, and Inspector Horne has it now. Never heard her say to give that watch to me after her death. This book, I think, belongs to Wiaslow. [The book is the "English and Irish Lawyer," and contains a great deal about murders by poisons, &c.] One of the legatees in the will is my illegitimate son.—Mr. Cobb Will you swear the book is Winslow's ? I never saw him reading it.—Mr. Cobb : When was the child born ? In 1851. What were you doing in 1851 ? I won't answer that question. I was in Radley's confectionery in Old Hall-street in 1852. I decline to say what I was doing in 1851. I was with my mother and father in 1853, and they supported me. Eliza Higgins examined-4 am twenty-five years of age. I have been with Mrs. James three or four years, with my sister Margaret. The evidence of this witness went to show that herself and sister, with the last wit ness carried on the business in the day, and 'Winslow carried it on in the night, and took deceased her food. On the 10th of June, Jane Cafferata said she would pre pare deceased's food, and witness might go to bed.— Cross-examined by Mr. Cobb : Martin Townsend and the last witness prepared the food, and Jane administered the food, Mr. Cafferata is at Vauxhall-road. Heard Martin Townsend say he was a long time looking for this, and it came at last ; dad that he was master now. That was the week before she went to the hospital. She was then very ill. Cafferata comes back and forward ; heard him one day, when going for medicine, tell his wife that poison was to be given to the deceased, and that a couple of spoon fulls of laudanum would do the mistress good. He took a bottle in his hand and went for the medicine. Can't say Martin said anything else.—Mr. Cobb Have you made any statement about Martin ? I can't think now; I told a person that Martin was watching for his opportunity, and I heard him say so on the Friday or Saturday before she was taken to the Hospital. He said it in the shop, but j don't know who was there. I don't knew anyone particular who was in the shop at the time, as there were several in and out when I went there; the family consisted of Mrs. James, Mrs. Townsend, and her three sons. Mrs. James some times got good health, sometimes bad, and at other times was very poorly. She Ny,a.a awful bad at one time with a sore ' l eg. I iemember when Samuel Townsend died, and deceased loved him and when he died she said 'she would never have anv plea sure again, for such a nice young man to go that way. I remember when Mrs. Cafferata came from Manchester The Coroner then read the statement of the prisoner, which was the same in substance as the statement opened by Mr. Kehoe at the Police-court, on Monday, so that it is not necessary to repeat it here; It was a detailed account of how he conducted the business of the deceased, and how Mrs. Townsend (Mrs, James' sister) and her two sons died in the house, as already stated. He went to Manchester for Mrs. Cafferata by direction of deceased. He admitted having made the sago for deceased on the morning in question. He went for Mr. J. B. Lloyd about a fortnight before to make her will, hut he did not know how she had disposed of her pro perty, although he knew she had considerable sums of money. Mr. Horne then went on to say—l took the prisoner into custody on Saturday last, between seven and eight, as he had been with me several times, and said he sus pected Mr. Cafferata, as he was the son of a chemist. I called him out of the shop to the back parlour in Vauxhall road, and told him that I was taking him on suspicion of having administered antimony to Ann James, on the morn ing of the 10th of June, in sago, as the sago that I took from the parlour had been analysed, and antimony found in it ; told him he need not say anything. He said he made the sago, but did not put any antimony in it, as he knew its use, and did .not use it for the last eighteen years, when he used it for cattle. The sago that he made he took from a package off a shelf in the cellar. That was analysed, and found to be pure. He then pointed to a drawer, and told me to take care of it. I found the will and £35 in gold in it, gold watch, bank book, and gas shares. Mrs. James had the keys at the Hospital. He was not aware that Mrs. James had told me that he made the sago. He told me no one knew what the old lady was worth, only himself. If be had been disposed he might have run away, as he was with me every day, and threw suspicion on the nephew and niece in Manchester. He offered to assist me in every way. Cross-examined by Mr. Cobb—l got the book in a corner (the book alluded to before). Mr. Cobb said there was not a word about antimony in the book. Mr. Horne said there was something about murder in it. Mr. Cobb cross-examined the inspector at some length, and he said the deceased told him the prisoner was a faithful servant to her, and that she placed every confi dence in him, and that he transacted all business most faithfully. The shares in the Gas Company and the bank book are in the name of the deceased. After some short conversation, the inquiry was ad journed to this day, at eleven o'clock, when it will be resumed in the Sheriff's Court, St. George's Hall. The Newcastle Chronicle states that the Marchioness of Londonderry has declined the ptition of the Roman Catholics of Seaham Harbour for a piece of land on which to erect a chapel. A Newry paper mentions that the police had succeeded in arresting a young man en route for the Papal recruiting depot in London. The captured hero extenuated his offence by at once enlisting in her Majesty's service. DESTRUCTIVE FIKE GLASOO W.—On Monday morn ing the Lancefield Cotton Spinning Factory, Centre street, Tradeston, was totally destroyed by fire. The loss in stock, buildings, and machinery is estimated at £B,OOO. The London correspondent of the Leeds ifercpbry says : _ . —" It is not impossible that the Queen may visit Lan cashire and Yorkshire before she goes to Germany. I do nqt know the motive." JUMPING FROM A TRAIN.—The son of the station master at Oarrickmines was returning from Dublin, on Wednesday evening, and, falling asleep, was carried past the station. On awaking and finding how he was situated, he jumped out, and had one a his logs broken. INAUGURATION OF TICE HOGG MONUMENT.—The Scotsman annonnees that the monument to the Ettrick Shepherd, opposite Tibby Shiels' cottage, between St. Mary's Lake and the Loch of the Lowes, is to be formally inaugurated on Thursday next, and the event is naturally exciting great interest in the district. SINGULAR ACCIDENT AT BRAT.---On Friday last, some workmen were employed in slating four new cot tages, belonging to Mr. John Bruce, in the valley of Diamonds. They saw some water suddenly gush out of the bank of earth which rose to a considerable height above the cottages and, becoming alarmed, made _ their escape into the road. They had hardly done so when a large portion of the bank fell, bringing with it part of the boundary wall of Miss Hutchiusou's of Palermo, and utterly destroying two of the newly-built houses. On Monday night, between forty and fifty feet of the north wall of Bray Church yard fell. The whole mass tolled down a very steep declivity, and was stopped by the rear of the houses in Brewery-lane, which narrowly escaped destruction. Both of these occurrences are at tributed to the late heavy rains. FIGHT WITH SNAKES.-Mr. James Lankford, of Fearing township, had a severe tight with three enor mous spotted black snakes on Monday morning last. He had been repairing a barrow by the side of a large tree, in one of his fields, when a strange sensation came over him, paralysing him to such an extent as to render him powerless. He felt conscious that danger was ap proaching, yet seemed unable to save himself. He heard a rustling noise on the tree beside him, and was partially aroused from his stupor by a snake, six feet four inches in length and seven inches in circumference, striking him on the back, passing over his shoulder, around his body and under his arms. Another snake coiled itself around his body. Seeing a third approach ing, and aroused to desperation, he seized an axe, which he fortunately had with him, and by a lucky blow severed it in two, six inches at the back of its head. This one was five feet eight inches long. Mr. Lankford then turned his efforts to ridding himself of his other two foes, then beginning to tighten themselves unplea santly round his breast. A severe contest ensued, lasting 15 or 20 minutes, during which Mr. Lankford was thrown down several times. The snakes kept up a constant hissing noise, and emitted a fetid, sickening odour. At length the largest snake, in endeayouring to strike Mr. Lankford in the mouth, at which it made repeated efforts, was seized by the back of the neck be tween Mr. Lankford's teeth, and literally crushed. The snake instantly uncoiled, and threw itself from him to the ground hors ate combat. The third did the same, and made his escape, Mr. Lankford being too much exhausted to make an attempt to pursue it. It was a narrow escape. for Mr. Lankford, who is a farmer, and whose veracity is unquestioned. We had the narrative from his own lips.—Maietta Home Hews.

T Barry, 77, Regent-street Lendon, The papers on " William Hogarth," by Mr. Sala, are continued. They are redundant with curious writing and quaintness of expresSion, the peculiar characteristics of his style. The round-about papers are not so well written in this number as the last. We extract one of the best— "THE HORRID LITTLE SQUALLING WIIETCH. "One of the pictures I admired most at the Royal Academy is by a gentleman on whom I never, to my knowledge, set eyes. This picture is No. 346, Moses, by Mr. S. Solomon. I thought it had a great intention. I thought it finely drawn and composed. It nobly represented, to .my mind, the dark children of the Egyptian bondage, aid suggested the touching story. My newspaper says . Two ludicrously ugly women, looking at a dingy baby, do not form a pleasing object;' and so good-bye, Mr. Solomon. Are not most of our babies served so in life ? and doesn't Mr. Robinson consider Mr. Brown's cherub an ugly, squalling little brat,? So cheer up, Mr. S. S. It may be the critic who discoursed on your baby is a bad judge of babies. When Pharaoh's kind daughter found the child, and cherished and loved it, and took it home, and found a nurse for it, too, I daresay there were grim, brick dust coloured chamberlains, or some of the tough, old, meagre, yellow princesses at court, who never had children themselves, who cried out, Faugh ! the horrid little squalling wretch!' and knew he would never come to good ; and said, Didn't I tell you so ? ' when he assaulted the Egyptian." _ sprtitrff 4rttelliffnut. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE RACES.-YESTERDAY, Breeze Gardiner Joey Jones TYNE HANDICAP. GOLD CL?. Wildman Reny . Tousle . Syringe ..

Elizabeth Elwell, a woman upwards of seventy years age, and of rather respectable exterior, was sentenced six months' hard labour, under circumstances indicat: of a discreditable amount of gross ignorance, not o among the working classes of the district, but among others higher in the social scale. The of . night, between twelve and one o'clock, a young g . named Elizabeth lligginson, rushed into the Pot, Station at Wednesbury in a state approaching insanit exclaiming that the prisoner bad bewitched her, st that her life was in imminent danger. It was alm impossible to soothe her. She was kindly corduc . home, entreated to go to bed, but she refused to do declaring that she could not go to sleep, and bewaili her destiny in a manner painful to witness. Under circumstances the police authorities brought the prisoi before the Stipendiary on Tuesday, when the girl Ili, ginson and two of her companions were examim They stated that the prisoner had told their fortunes , means of cards, and that when they visited her sor. young ladies whom they named were in the house on similar errand. At the close, a remand took place Wolverhampton, among other things to obtain tl, attendance of a man named Fox, who lives at Wt Bromwich, and who had never seen the prisoner, hi, who informed the girl Higgiuson that Mrs. Elwell, tl.l sorceress, had "bewitched or bedevilled" him, addin;- that he knew his destiny to be closely connected with that of Miss Iligginson. Fox did not appear, and letter from the Wednesbury police informed the sou“' that he was afraid to come forward, fearing thi prisoner's power; also that he and the two girls full believed that the proceedings against Elwell would hit most hazardous to all concerned in the prosecution; even if it were possible to detain her in gaol, of whit) they expressed strong doubt. In mitigation, certificate* of character were put in from a surgeon and three chemists in Wednesbury, and a respectable woman' who, however, gave her evidence with much trepidation,. was put in the box to prove that what the prisoner took for fortune telling she gave away in charity. Th e penalty provided by the Vagrant Act is three months' imprisonment for each offence ; and after a serious admonition from the Bench, the prisoner was sentenced to that term on two of the charges, and a conviction recorded in the third.
