POLICE INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL. BEFORE MR. H. BARLE A FAMILY QUARREL. —Patrick Meade, a respectable looking person, was brought up by detectives Povey and M'Calloch, on a charge of having broken into the house of his sisters, situate in Bright street, Crown street, and for having stolen two boxes and other articles, value £4. At three o'clock on Sunday the police heard of the house having been broken into, and, on going to the place, they found the back wall had been crossed, a window and a door broken, the house entered, and the property stolen. They went to the prisoner's lodging, at 13, Hunter street, where the property was found, having been left there by the prisoner some time before. The prisoner was subsequently arrested in Nelson street. The sisters of the prisoner identified the property, and said the prisoner had no right or clFm to it. The prrsoner said the property in the house was joint between him and his sisters—(the sisters cried out "No, no"),—and that he was in great dis►ress. They refused to give him any assistance, and he admitted that he did break into the house, and take the property, although he knew it was a bad thing ; but if his worship knew the extremity he was driven to, he would look in a different light upon the subject. He knew it was a horrible thing to do what be had done, but as the property was joint he had a right to it. His Worship said, although the action of the prisoner was a bad o❑e, he did not think, under the circumstances, it amounted to a felony, and he therefore discharged the prisoner with a caution. BoncYa.Artlr.-LLawrence Cleary, a plasterer, was brought up on remand, charged with being concerned in a burglary and robbery, committed on Saturday night week, in the house ofi Mr. Thomas Clegg (reporter), Every street. In the absenca of Mr. and Mrs. Clegg, on the night in ques tion, the house was entered, and a trunk full of property stolen. Soon after, the prisoner was got in the street by a policeman, who found some of Mr. Clegg's boots, and some property belonging to Mrs. Clegg, in his possession. On Wednesday night, a shawl that had been stolen out of the house was thrown back over Mr. Clegg's wall into the yard. The prisoner was sent for trial. A "Noss I"—Patrick Larkin, described as a " Nose"— that is, a fellow who goes about pointing out pickpockets to the police, was brought up, charged for attempting to pick pockets. However well he '• nosed" for others, it appeared that the police " nosed him ; " and the case being fully proved, he was sent to gaol for one month.

WILKIE AND OTHERS. —This was an action brought by Mr. Campbell, solicitor, of Liverpool, against four parties, named respectively Wilkie, Howard, Owen, and Marsden, to recover X 45 13s. 6d. for professional services. Mr, Grocott appeared for the plaintiff : Mr. Aspinall, barrister, respreseeted Mr. Wilkie: Mr. Goodere, solicitor, appeared for Messrs. Marsden and Owen. The defendant, Howard, was unrepresented. The claim was made for services rendered by the plaintiff, as attorney, from December, 1854, to July, 1855, in aiding the defendants to form a company, called the " Llanerch Llandbadernfawu Silver and Lead Mining Company," for which purpose plaintiff performed journeys into Wales and other services. Having deposed as to his services, the plaintiff was cross examined by Mr. Aspinall, and denied that on the occasion of one of these journeys be had to be left behind at Oswestry, in consequence of being drunk, and that he had to be left in charge of a policeman. He admitted that he might, per haps, on one occasion, have been " lively ;" but declared that if not sober throughout the whole of the journey, he was, at leas', more sober than the individual who, be alleged, had instructed Mr. Aspinall to put such questions. Mr. Goodere farther cross-examined Mr. Capmbell, who den ed that he was rendered incapable of performing his profes sional services on any occasion by being drunk, or that he had, in one instance, to be propped up by the guard of a He admitted, however, that on these professional -eursions the parties did not spare expense, and did not live at all in anehorite fashion. Mr. Grocott, in re-examin ing Mr. Campbell, asked—did you ever see Mr, Goodere drunk in the Police Court ? Mr. Goodere : Oh, come, that is nonsense, you know : he was turned out of the Polic Court himself for being drunk. (Laughter.) His Honor declined to allow Mr. Grocott to put the question. Mr. Goodere : Were you not turned out of the Police Court for being drunk ? Mr. Campbell : N sir ; never. Mr. Goodere : Were you never drunk in the Police Court ? Mr. Campbell : Certainly not. ral witnesses were called, and, after the case was con eluded, his Honour said there was no doubt but that a n Important pany, and they must pay tor the blessing. lie solicitor was necessary in th e formation of mining - - uld give a verdict fur the plaintiff for the amount claim _ - ght deductions GOUTY MINISTERS.—The Marquis of Lansdowne has recovered from his recent attack of gout, and intends leaving London on Tuesday next for his seat, Bowood Park, Wilts.—Lord Panmure is suffering from an attack of gout, which prevented his lordship attending either the Queen's Privy Council on Friday, or the Cabinet Council held on Saturday. REMOVAL OF A POSTMASTER.—The republication of the following paragraph, wh;ch we find in the Kent Herald, may be useful In order not to inflict unnecessary pain, we omit the name and place •—" Mr P., who has for many years filled the officer of postmaster here, has been removed from his situation. For some years it has been a matter of surprise that one so uncourteus and disobliging should have retained his situation. The complaints to the Postmaster- General have been frequent, and a complaint from an influential M.P., who experienced some incivility, has been the cause of the change. We believe that Mr. P.'s strict integrity has been the main cause of his remaining in office so long." CITiL SERVICE SITPERANNUATIONS.—An appendix to the late report on civil service superannuations, just published, contains a supplementary report from the pens of Mr. Ansell and Mr. Morgan, actuaries of the Atlas and Equitable Assurance offices, on the subject. The select committee was desirouss to ascertain whether the deductions made from the salaries of the civil servants are more than adequate payment for the advantages by them receivable in the shape of retired allowances. These gentlemen report that there is sufficient reason to believe that the present rates of deduction (2i and 5 per cent) do press unequally on different persons in the civil service, so that, cceteris paribus, !hose who enter the service in early life contribute relatively more than those who enter at more advanced ages; and further, that those who, starting with equally low rates of salary, but who subsequently rise to the highest salaries, and therefore become entitled to a hither rate of superannuation, do contribute relatively less than those who, having entered on the same low rate of salary, are so placed in the service as to give them little prospect of advancing beyond comparatively low or moderate salaries. The second question put to the actuaries was this : Whether the whole body of the civil service, taken collectively, does contribute, by deductions from salaries, more or less is sufficient to provide for the pensions that have been granted under the Act of 1834, or may be granted under the altered state of the law as proposed by the bill under the consideration of the select committee, or under the Act of 1834 ? The actuaries report that there are not sufficient 4 ata for an answer -- further information and they solicit . on" the point, in the shape of official returns he 16th of June last. :Ito report ANOTHER Sliest NOBLEMAN.—Henry Philip Arthy, who has assumed the title of Lord John Hay, was charged at one of the London Police-offices, on Saturday, with defrauding various tradesmen, by means of spurious cheques and frau dulent representations. Mr. Denny, of 123, Ileg,ent street, jeweller, said :—On the evening of the 30th of September, prisoner came to his shop and made a selection of jewellery, Which came to £66. He wrote two cheques on Messrs. Stone, And Co., bankers, Lombard street, and signed them " Jobe ftuxton Hay," saying that was the family name, and th2t be was Lord John Hay. His story being creditei, he Was allowed to take the goods away, but when the cheques were presented the next day, the reply was " no effects." He enquired how the prisoner obtained a cheque book of the firm, and the reply was that he did so by representing himself as an attache to the Emperor Louis Napoleon, which statement he pretended to verify by producing what appeared to be a cheque from Messrs. Baring and Co. in his favour. The prisoner, in reply to this charge, said his family had rendered great services to the French Emperor and £3OO had been given to them as a mark of respect He expected £2OO to be sent on a future day. He would be of aga in December, and would instruct his solicitor to return the jewellery. He had given cheques for the amount in the belief that the money was at the bank to meet them. 4. second charge was for obtaining a dog from Charles End" ty peace of a spurious cheque. The complainant proved :that the prisoner bought a dog of him at the t letinninc , of this moe,th for twelve guineas, and paid him with a chequeon Jox and Co. for £9, and the rest in money. The leque was signed H. P. Astley, and was refused payment, no Such a person being known. The prisoner represented himself in this case to be the son of the Earl of Kinnonl. It being intimated that several other cases will be brought forward against him, the prisoner was remanded till next Thursday. THE GREAT LUXEMBOURG RAILWAY A meeting of the Liverpool proprietors of the Great Luxembourg Railway, was held in the Clarendon Rooms, at one o'clock yesterday, for the purpose of bearing a state ment from the agent of the company, Mr. H. C. Beloe, relative to the present position and prospects of the line. There was a numerous attendance of proprietors. Mr. Beloe stated, that as agent of the company, he had felt it his duty recently to go over to Brussels, for the pur pose of making himself personally acquainted with the present condition and future prospects of the Great Luxem• bourg Line. That line had long been before the public— represented as a must unfortunate concern; in fact, he found it called in Belgium the "Young Dutchman." having been started after the Dutch Rhenish Railway Company. He said to those who made the remark, that he trusted the result would be equally successful. Now, especially as men of real business capacity had taken the management of the concern in hand, he felt a confident hope that it would be resuscitated from its formerly deplorable condition. How ever, what he now wanted to do, was to draw the attention of the proprietors to the actual position of the line at present, and to its prospects for the future. He went over entirely unofficially, merely to make himself acquainted with the facts. AU he asked from the directors in London was a letter of introduction to their manager at Brussels. Having obtained this, he received from Mr. Benjamin Reed, the very efEcient manager at Brussels, replies of the most direct -oncise kind to every question which he put, and which es had been carefully prepared before hand, with a view to elicit information. If he had nothing else to con gratulate the proprietors upon, it would be on the possession of one of the most efficient servants it had ever been his lot to meet in any railroad undertaking. The result of his erviries he would now proceed to state. The line from Brussels to Namur was now completed, thirty-four miles in length. together with a short branch of four miles round Brussels, to connect the Great Luxembourg with the Belgian State line. This latter had only been very recently made, and the main object of making it was, that goods might be at once transferred from one line to the other intended for the interior by Namur, and to bring it into direct accord with the Ostend and Antwerp traffic. At p esent a joint station was used, which was small end inconvenient, and which must be enlarged, or another must be built adjoining. From Brussels to Namur, by the present line of railway, was sixty eight miles, but by the line of this company only thirty fair miles exactly, so that the meeting would at once perceive the advantage gained by a direct communication with Namur, which was a town with about 30,000 inhabi tants, and was, in fact, the Sheffield of Belgium, as they were all aware that Liege was the Birmingham of Belgium. But while the distance gained from Brussels to Namur on this line, was thirty four miles, the distance gained from Brussels to Liege, at the other end of the Namur and Liege line, was but two miles. To any point on the Namur and Liege line, short of Liege itself, the advantage ef distance in favour of the Great Luxembourg line was in proportion to the distance of the particular spot from Liege. From Brussels, therefore, to many places of considerable manufacture and traffic, the distance was decidedly in favour of the Great Luxembourg. Namur was the central depot of large traffic in iron and wood, and from it the Great Luxembourg became in immediate contact with several other ;lines, such as the Namur and Liege, the Charleroi and Louvain, and the Sambre and Me Ise, over all of which the company now booked. Their line afforded an immediate facility, therefore, for travellers, whether they wanted to go to Cologne or to Paris. One third of all the traffic of the line was derived from goods and pas sengers to places beyond Namur, or one or other of the lines which joined it, and with which they were now in connection. The distant i from Brussels to Paris would be shortened by fifteen miles , when the traffic would fl ow over their line by Charleroi, rather than go round by the Stale line. He could not say that it would be advisable immediately to urge the permission to book through, because it would require a good deal of tact and policy not to create too much jealousy on the part of the Belgian Government for their own State line. The Government had a control over them, and might annoy them. But there could be little doubt that hereafter this would be accomplished. If the Trent Valley line was made to save ten miles, surely fifteen miles between Paris and Brussels must be a consideration. The same argument, although not quite so much as to distance, would apply to the per mission to book through from Brussels to Cologne, instead of going round by the State line as at present. It would be a slight saving of distance, about two miles, but it had the advantage, which gentlemen who had travelled through that part of the country would know very well, that the valley from Namur to Liege was one of the most beautiful railroad drives in Europe. Nothing could be more beauti ful, although there were several tunnels ; and the attraction of passing through the valley of the Meuse would mainly secure to them a large body of tourists in summer, from Brussels to Namur, rather than going round by the States line. Of course it would be quite out of his province to go into the financial considera tions, to attempt which would be assuming the office of the directors. But he might mention one fact, that the present revenue of the line from Brussels to Namur yielded a suffi cient profit, within a very trifle, to pay the interest on the hooded debt, which, up to the last year's account, had , en charged to capital. They would see on the map ' - - - e Namur to Arlon. He should confess q uestio al ways b that that wes the most difficult part of their line to con struct, and which was leant likely to yield them an im mediate profit. It was 83 miles in length, exclusive of two small branches to the frontier, the one to Langwys, and the other towards Luxembourg, together about thirteen miles, which were not yet constructed, and the probable cost might be taken at £12,000 per mite, or, altogether, £1,000,000. The whole was contracted for, and the works were now in progress. Eighteen miles of it, from Namur to Ciney, would be open in December, 1857, .and the rest in the following month of August, and it was to that portion of their line that the Government guarautee of 4 per cent. extended A Shareholders : That is from Nimnr to Arlon. Mr. Beloe : Yes, that was the portion of their line to which the guarantee applied, and it was absolute for fifty years upon a total expenditure of £BOO,OOO, commencing as each portion of the line was opened. It was simply a guarantee which, if the government was called on to fulfil, so also weuld the government seek repayment if circum• stances permitted—that was, if the company earned only 3 per cent., government would pay 1 per cent., and if the company earned 5 per cent., then they should repay the sum granted by government out of the surplus above 4 per cent. On the lst January, 1858, the guarantee of 4 per cent would be rayable on the 18 miles from Namur to Ciney, and so on as they opened the line from tme to time. Mr. Reed, however, though that when the line was completed in its integrity, it would pay more than 4 p - 2r cent. ; but having given the guarantee, the government reserved to itself the right of a surveillance over the working of the line, which they would have an interest in doing in the most economic it manner. The guarantee, however, was specially important, because the gradients throughout that part of the line were exceedingly unfavourable, and the workings would be expelisive, but when the line was con nected with that of Strasbourg, it would amply repay all parties. Having stated that the 13 miles—the short branches already mentioned—would be constructed at £9,000 per mile, Mr. Beloe proceeded to show that the large amount of traffic which now en tered Belgium from Strasbourg and Central Eu rope by way of Cologne and Verviers would, on the com pletion of the Great Luxembourg, ft ,w from Strasbourg dirre via Arlon and .Namur. It was first feared that they would have an opposition to their line by the States line adopting a competing tariff, but there seemed little fear of that when they considered the respective mileage of the two lines on the one hand, and the guarantee on the other. In conclusion Mr. B doe mentioned that a B Agian gentleman had told him that their line had yielded a larger mileage rate on opening than any other railway in Belgium, not excepting the line from Brussels to Antwerp, which was the most lucrative of them all. A Shareholder asked if the line at present paid its working expenses ? Mr. Beloe replied, that it not only paid the working expenses, but yielded £22,000 a year against the charge for interest on the bonds of £20,000, so that the bond debt was perfectly secured whatever happer Another Shareholder asked if the earnings of the whole line were to be considered, when the account between them and the g , vernment, as to the guarantee, was being arranged. Mr. Beloe replied that they were not. The Namur and Brussels line was entirely independent of the Namur and Arlon line. The guarantee only applied to the latter, and its earnings alone should exceed 4 per cent. before they were called on to pay the money advanced by government. It passed through a sterile country, though valuable in mineral products, and it was on that account that the government gave the guarantee. Mr. T. E. Moss moved that the thanks of the meeting be given to Mr. Beloe for the valuable information which he had given them respecting the line. Ile (Mr. sloss) had been in Belgium last month, and what one of the Belgian directors had told him fully confirmed what Mr. Thine stated, namely, that the line would be open in August, 1858, and would pay 4 per cent. The motion was carried by acclamation, after which the meeting separated. CRIMEAN SoLmeus.—The New York Evening Post of the 4th inst. says :—" A great many men who left our ghores during the late war with Russia to join the British army in the Crimea have now returned and enlisted in our army. Many of th em h ave the Cr i mean medal bestowed by the B r iti s h government, which they are still rtermitted to w ear . T en or twelve of them made applica tion_ at the rendezvous in this city on one day last week, and we are told that some are enlisted almost every day." LIVERPOOL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The usual monthly meeting of the council of this body was held yesterday, Chas. Holland, Esq., in the chair. Among the communications was a letter from the London Law Amendment Society, inviting the opinion of the council as to the desirableness of holding a conference to conside' the subjects for future commercial legislation, and enquiring whether the Chamber would send a deputation, should such a conference be held. Ordered to be replied to in the affirmative as to both questions, the letter to be referred to the Commercial Law Committee, to arrange the subjects it would be desirable to have discussed. The following letter from Mr. M'Leod, Tier Majesty's Consul at Moz imbique, was ordered to be inserted in the report of proceedings, for the sake of publicity, and to collect infor. mation on the subject on which it treats : To the President of the Chamber of Commerce, livelpool. London, Nor._22, 1856. Sir,—Being about to proceed to my post at Mozambique, I am anxious to place myself in communication with the Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool, to request that they will do me the favour of forwarding to me, at their earliest convenience, any suggestions which they may consider condncive to the furtherance of commerce, and more especially the introduction of British manufactures to a portion of Africa hitherto almost unknown to the merchants of this country.—l have, &c., I'. LYONS M'LEon, Her Majesty's Consul at Mozambique. An important communication from the East India House on the subject of the iron ores of India, and one from the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce, complaining of the delay in discharging vessels at that port, were laid on the table. Mr. Heath brought firward the motion, of which be gave notice at the last meeting, approving of the declara tions of the late Paris Congress concerning maritime law in the case of war ; and also the additional propositions made by the Government of the United States. The motion was seconded by Mr. Coake; but, on a discussion taking place, it was agreed that It was not, at present, expedient for the council to express an opinion upon the subject. LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY, The usual periodical meeting of this society was hel last evening, at the Royal Institution, Colquitt street. Dr. Inman, the president of the society, was in the chair. The usual routine business having been disposed of, the Rev. Dr. Higgins exhibited some curious specimens of fancy woods—both English and foreign—out of a great number he had collected. Some conversation ensued as to the great usefulness of the poplar, which was stated to be very much used in other foreign countries for domestic purposes, the flooring of bed-rooms, for which it was peculiar is applicable. being much warmer than any other. The Secretary then exhibited a Russian saddle-bag and hussar's cloak, taken at the Redau, by Captain Plunket, by whose lady it was sent to the society. The former was of Russian leather, and very capacious, while the latter was exceedingly gaudy in its outward appearance, but of great weight and exceedingly warm and comfortable. Several donations were presented to the society. amongst which were the Report of the Belfast Natural H'story and Philosophical Society, and Memoirs of the Ilianchester Botanic Society, for which the thanks of the society were voted. Mr. Archer then exhibited a specimen of coal found in a mine in Glamorganshire, which he explained as being very rare. The chairman then said the paper for the evening should have been read by Mr. James Yates, but he was sorry t) say that that gentleman had been prevented from doing so by the death of his brother Richard; but, in his absence, the Rev. John Robberds had consented to read a paper on " A Manchester Newspaper a Century ago." The Rev. gentle man then read an interesting paper, chiefly consistirg of extracts irom the Manchester Magazine of 1742, and con trasted the difference of the pubiication with a newspaper of the present day. A vote of thanks to the Rev. gentleman concluded the business of the evening. GOVERNMENT CERTIFICATES TO SCHOLARS IN DAY SCHOOLS. Yesterday evening the Rev. W. Birley, her Majesty's Inspector of Schools, held a meeting, in St. James's School, of the parents of children who have received their education in schools under Government inspection, at the south end of the town, and who have either left to go to situations, or are about to leave for that purpose. The rev. gentleman first addressed the parents, generally, on the importance of a sound Christian education, and the duty, on their part, to make any and every sacrifice, in order that their children may obtain it. He showed the advantages now offered in our pnblic schools, through the liberality of Government, and those who choose to avail themselves of these advan tages may, by regularity of attendance, and good condact at school, obtain certificates of character that tray be invaluable to them. At the conclusion of his address, the rev. gentle man called up eighteen boys and gir's, belonging to St, James's, St. Barnabas's, St. Bride's, and at. Thomas's, schools, and delivered a certificate to each. After this he addressed the recipients in affectionate terms, exhorting them to persevere i❑ the course they had commenced, retai❑ their good character, be truth fel, trustworthy, and conscientious, and, by so doing, give satisfaction and con fidence to their employers, We had an opportunity of examining one of these cer tificates, sent down from the office of the committee of council. It is a neatly engraved design, surrounded by an appropriately ornamented border. On this certificate is the boy's name, age, time he has been at school, progress made in arithmetic, grammar, geography, history, and Scripture, and his general character and conduct while at school. This document is i,igned by the teacher, countersigned by the managers of the school, the clergyman, and her Majesty's Inspector. It strikes us very forcibly that if a list of such holders of ceetificates were kept, the merchants and gentlemen of Liverpool would do an incalculable amount of good to the cause of education, by giving appointments to such deserv ing youths, or by giving the preference to such as hold certi ficates of character over other candidates. They would, by so doing, give an impetus to the work of education ; and, when p rents saw that good situations are obtainable by such as have remained at school a certain period, and earned a good character, they would be induced to send their chil dren regularly to school, and retain them there. Gentlemen would themselves reap the benefit of having intelligent,well conducted, confidential youths in their employ. THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. FASHIONS FOR DECEMBER Among the various forms adopted this winter for man teaux the casaque jupe will be very generally in favour ; the simplicity of its shape, and its comfort and convenieuce as a walking dress, will render it especially suitable for young Tal pa s s are still worn. Sometimes sleev es are a dd e d ; at others, a rounded berths of the same material, or a deep fringe. List winter, sleeves were made with several bouillons terminating at the elbow, or a little below, by frills, thus leaving the arm covered only by the muslin under. sleeve. This winter we see them with two or three progres sive bouillons, reaching nearly to the elbow, and the lower part of the sleeve to the arm, and buttoned at the wrist. This style is called a /a Francois I , and a 1' Isabelle when the bouillons are continued to the wrist. Bodies of dresses are still trimmed with berthes, rounded or p,inted behind, trimmed round with lace or fringe, and finished in front by brandenbourgs. The materials for dresses this season pre sen t no thi ng _ particularly new in des an—largo bouquets ofsmall flowers, d s'ripes, small and large checks, being the principal Large patterns of all kinds predominate. For varietie ress, velvet is mu ch employed, The two following dresses are both handsome and novel : —The first, a green silk covered with lozenges of blhek velvet. The skirt very full, especially at the sides The body high, with a large lozenge of black velvet forming a stomacher ; another lozenge ornaments the back. A hand some pattern in cut velvet trims the basques and the edges cf the sleeves, which are large and open. The other of a material very much resembling that for merly called veleurs d'Afrique, now known under the name of veleurs d'Orient. The dress is made with two skirts, each trimmed by five or six rows of raised velvet, of the same colour as the dress, which is very light brown. This plain high body is ornamented by a pelerine of black guipure, pointed behind, and reaching only to the waist, where it is finished in front by a large bow of velvet ribbon ; four sm filer ones are placed down the front of the body. The sleeves are formed of several large, puffs from the top to the wrist, separated by bands of velvet to match those on the skirt. B nnets are generally very much trimmed just now ; we have, however, seen some exhibiting great taste, combined with simplicity. Some of those more elaborately trimmed were of velvet, blue, green, drab, or light brown, trimmed with a wide lace, star pattern, forming a voilette, thrown back over the front. A black velvet bonnet was trimmed with a wreath of small black feathers, joined on the top of the front under a black velvet b'ow ; four very small feathers fell also on each side towards the cur ain, which was covered with lace. In the cap were sprays of rosebuds, mixed with, lace. SECRECY or THE INCOME TAX.—A dealer in provisions, carrying on business in the county of Durham, sends us (Gateshead Observer) samples of the waste paper sold to him for wrapping up half pounds of butter, slices of bacon, kippered herring, &c., consisting of Yorkshire income tax returns, made under the old and the present law. GOOD NEWS FOR WAITERS.—A very ingenious imple• mcnt, called Hancock's Safety Inkstand, has recently been brought under our notice, and, such is our experience of its value, that we strongly recommend a trial of it to all who are troubled with the sediments and coagulations to which ordinary inkstands are subject. The construction of Mr. Hancock's production is extremely simple, but so efficacous that it enables a man to supply himself with a stock of ink atone time which will keep clear and prat. ticab'e for a twelvemonth. We recommend all those who are inclined to take our advice to give the article a trial. Price is Bd, 2s 6d, 3s, and 3s 6d each.—The Birmingham Daily Press.—Adut. ANNIVERSARY OF THE POLISH REVOLUTION. -011 Satur day, being the 26th anniversary of the Polish Revolution of 1830, the Polish exiles attended the funeral service, which was performed by the Rev. Emeritus Podolski, at the Roman Catholic chapel, Sutton street, Soho, for their countrymen who fell in that and other national struggles. Later in the day, a meeting was held in commemoration of this event, at Sussex chambers, Duke street, St. James's. Colonel B. Wiercinski presided, and after addresses by Major Grelgud, Captain Chodasiewicz, Major C. Szulczewski, and Lieutenant Winnicki &c., resolutions were carried exprese ing the unabated attachment of the Polish exiles to the cause of national independence, and their thanks to the British nation for the asylum and hospitality afforded to them, as well as to the British press, and to the Literary Associati"n of the Friends of Poland for their sympathy with the Polish cause. MRS. SEACOLE.—Lord Rokeby has received the following letter from Mrs. Seacole :—" No. 1, Tavistock street, Nov. 25. Lord Rokeby,—My Lord,--With much gratitude I beg to offer you my sincere thanks for your letter, which I have just read in the Times of to-day, and would publicly acknowledge your present as well as past kindnesses to me, but I fancy you, my lord, might object to my placing your name in the public papers; consequently I take this means of expressing to you my gratitude for the i'terest you take in my case. lam fully aware of the kind feelings yourself and the army have towards me, and this knowledge tends to sustain me in my present difficulties ; and, far from re gretting my visit to the Crimea, I feel proud, indeed, that I have had an opportunity to gain the esteem of your lord ship along with that of many Ethers in the army ; and, indeed, I would much rather suffer my present poverty, with the knowledge that the Almighty permitted me to be useful in my small sphere, than have returned wealthy without the esteem and regard of the brave defenders of our country. Trusting your lordship will excuse the liberty I have taken in thus writing to your lordship, I am your lordship' s very h um bl e and g r ate f u l servant, MARY SEACOLE. To the R ight Hon. Lord Rokeby, M.G., Portman square, London." " FANCY" TO rim FEMININES LLEWELLIN V. MILLS.—This was an action brought in the Court of Queen's Bench to recover six quarters' arrears of an annuity, which had been granted by a gentleman named Mills to Miss Dignam. I t a pp eare d th a t Miss Dig nam was the daughter of an attorney, who had formerly transacted business for Mr. Mills, a gentleman of considerable property, and about 61 years of age. In the year 1846, Mr. Mills took a great fancy to Miss Dignam, then 14 years of age, and paid for her education ; and, on her leaving school, he took a house for her at Streatham, which he furnished in a very handsome style and allowed her a large income to maintain hesself, and to keep a pony equipage and groom. She subsequently removed to Stockwell, where she lived under the name of Mrs. Smith. In the year 1853, Mr. Mills gave her a bond to secure her an annuity of £4OO for life. Mr. Mills died in 1854, leaving property to the amount of £140,000, and a legacy to Miss Dignam of £2,000 by his will. Miss Dignam died nine months after him, and her executors brought this action against the executors of Mr. Mills, for payment of six quarters' arrears of the annuity, alleged to have been due at Mr. M;lls's death. The defence was, that Mr. Mills had given Miss Dignam very large sums of money at different times, far exceeding the annuity, and that these sums were intended to be in lien of the annuity; and, moreover, that Miss Dignam had given receipts for her quarter's annuity, after the death of Mr. Mills, without making any claim fo r p rev i ous arrears on the part of the plaintiffs. It was a'mitted that large sums of money had been given to Miss Dignam by Mr. Mills, during his life. Lord Campbell said, he thought these sums ought to go against the alleged arrears due upon the bond. A verdict was accordingly found for the defendants. In consequence of the increase of garotte robberies, the police authorities have resolved on placing an additional number of constabes on duty after ten o'clock at night, and in the outskits the mounted patrols are doubled. This new regulation came into operation last Saturday evening. A IfusslAN WAITER.— The head waiter was a gigantic Russ, with long fair well-brushed hair descending in curls on his shoulders, and a magnificent beard that might have fitted the Farnese Hercules. He wore a shirt or tunic of crimson satin, open at the throat, and over it another of fine linen, and the remainder of hie costume was in keeping ; Russian boots of the finest kid, over which his black velvet trousers bulged, and festooned at the knee, completed a dress which, to my eye, was both striking and characteristic. In the centre of the misty room stool this tremendous looking fellow, Woden, "god of Saxons," and every time he waved his potent napkin a score of white familiars might IY? seen flitting through the smoke to take the orders of the visitors.—lfurphy's Lettersf sin Russia. THE CGUNTY OF FORFAR DINNER TO LORD PANMURE. —The popularity of the Minister of War in his own county is attested by the formation of a committee of seven noblemen, four members of parliament, and between 400 and 500 of the landed, professional, and commercial gen tlemen of the county, to invite his lordship to a banquet, in acknowledgment of his distinguished services to the country, and as a testimony of respect to him as Lord Lieutenant of Forfarshire. It is not precisely fixed whether the celebra tion, which will be altogether unprecedented in this quarter, will take place in Arbroath or Dundee, the decision depending upon the extent of the accommodation which the former place can supply. Wherever it may be fixed, special trains and conveyances will be required to rut to and from all parts of the county in connection with the banquet.— Dundee Advertiser. STEAM SHIP TAY.—The following is a copy of a letter sent to W,lliam Strutt, Esq., late master of the Tay Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Marine Department, Whit e h a ll, N ove mb er 5, 1856. Sir, —I am directed by the Lords of the Committee o f Privy °Jilted for Trade, to inform you that they have received the report of Mr. Traill and Commander Robertson, R.N., on the investigation into the loss of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's steam .ship Tay, on the 30th August last, in the Gulf of Mexico, of which ship you were at the time master : and as the court have not attributed the loss of ' the ship to your wrongful act or default, lam to return to you, ycur master's certificate of competency. In so doing, however, my lords desire me to express their strong opinion of the sl oven l y an d uno ffi cer lik e manner in which the ship was navigated by you.—l am, &c., T. H. FARRER " CREW OF THE STEAMER NEVA,—DOVER, Nov. 30. Twelve seamen were landed here this morning from the Prussian bark Danzig, of Dauzig, part of the crew of the Neva steamer, of Hull, bound from Cronstadt and Gotten burg to Hull. On the 15th instant, in a gale of wind, the Neva sprung a leak, and struck with a heavy sea, putting the fires out. She went down about 100 miles from the coast of Jutland. All the crew and passengers took to the boats, and were picked up about an hour after they left the steamer by the schooner Belford, of Dundee, bound to London. on the 26th. Part of the crew (12) were put on board the Prussian barque Dsnzig. On the 12 men landing at Dover, they were immediately taken to the Sailors' Home, where they were abundantly provided with everything, and sent free by the South Eastern Railway by the 5.45 train to London. Preparations were made at the Dover Sailors' Home for the remainder of the crew and passengers at any hour of the night. All hands saved. THE PEER, THE EDITOR, AND THE HORSEWHIP.— In the last number of the Norfolk News, we observe a report of a rabbit case, with an article thereon, and some observations on a threat of Lord Hastings to assault the editor, It is a case which excites a great deal of interest in that locality. The editor says : We had hoped that we should hear no more of the Holt rabbits, and that the claims of the poor men to every advantage accruing from their own heath would be acknowledged, or at least not objected to, by the parish authorities. But the powers have ordained otherwise; and at the moment that we are writing, two of the labourers belonging to the class for whose benefit " the Lows" was allotted nearly half a century ago, are in prison, and at hard labour, under sentence of the petty scs4ions at Holt, for insisting on what they believe is in law, and what all knew is in equity and common ho nes t y, these poor reer.'s just and inalienable rights. Lord Hastings has threatened, in the event of the Norfolk New s ma ki ng any observations obnoxi ous to his lordship, that he would inflict personal violence on the unhappy editor. Our readers will observe that it is a peer of the realm, and the chairman of a bench of magis trates, who adopts this mode of preserving himself from criticism. Were Norfolk a dependency of France, and Lord Hastings Louis Napoleon's deputy, his threat might amount to a decree, but it requires an Emperor's power and a despot's heart to dictate to us what use we shall make of our type. Why Lord Hastings should anticipate the censure of the press we cannot conceive, e xcept i t b e that he has mis• givings on the propriety of his own proceedings. Such threats are to us a provocative to duty. Our observations are made, and it remains for his lordship to consider whether he likes them or not. If t h ey do not meet his entire approval, his lordship may attempt to carry his threat into execution. But it may be as well that Lord Hastings, before he makes his journey to Norwich for that purpose, should know that we think the press is far too indulgent to the weaknesses and vices of lords, and that if we change our course at all, it will certainly be in the direction of a more determined and fearless out s p o k enness on evc 7 topic which concerns the public inter es t s and the public morality.

LONDON CORN MARKET.-DEC. 1. The foreign arrivals of wheat and H)ur during the past week, although liberal, have not been of equal magnitude to those of the previous week. There was a fair quantity of English wheat on sale, and a better demand was expe rienced for both English and foreign, and (upon the low sales of Monday last) an improvement of is per qr was in many instances realised. Flour was firmer, but cannot generally be quoted dearer. Barley likewise was a more ready sale, and the turn in prices was against the buyer. Oats met more enquiry, and an advance of fully 6d per qr was established. Beans and pease were dull, and to force sales is to 2s less money must have been taken.

LONDON MINING MARKET.. Dee. 1, Great Wheal Alfred and Vale Towy shares have met with an increased enquiry during the last day or two, in consequence of an improvement in these mines.
