He. is connected with the interests of the Township. of Toxteth, being the owner of large property in it, and he is also identified in interest with the interests of the ratepayers. Mr. Livingston, we are glad to learn, has been re quested to allow himself 'to be brought out as a candidate, by fully 300 of the most influential resident and occupying yoters in the ward. His success seems certain, , and in 'anticipating it we may mention that during his previous I) ocapancy of a seat at the Council, his 'services in the atch Committee were considered to be of the greatest Practical value. For South Toxteth Ward, Mr. Joseph Robertson again solicits the votes of the electors. - If untiring z eal, and unshrinking diligence in attending to the interests of his constituency, without compromising th ose of the community, be recommendations in the e y es of a constituency, the claims of Mr. Robertson o n the consideration of the electors of this ward O ught to be paramount. During the six years which he has sat in the Cotincil, he has been a more 'equent attender at the meetings of committees and of the Council than any other member. Snell services ought not to be lost sight of, and on the first of next month we cannot doubt they will be recognised by the renewed confidence of a well pleased constituency. 1 11 Everton, Mr. Charles F. Came comes forward Under most favourable auspices. In answer to a n umerously signed and highly influential requisition, he has agreed to become a candidate. As a recipient of municipal honours, Mr. Came is as yet a new man, although he is by no means unused to public business.. 4 .7 °lle well acquainted with the , true interests of the "rya and of the ward, he has numerous claims on the e l ' e ctors, who, we feel assured, will recognise and re ward ' l l Public spirit and his zeal, 'by placing him at the 1 13 e a- 4 of the poll. • To Pitt-street Ward, Mr. W. P.,Jeffreys,again pre /tilts himself to the constituency, after an honourable Probati on of n i ne years, d ur i ng w hich protraited period e has devoted himself to a careful understanding of th° questions w hich affect the interests of the ward. tie met the electors last night, and was most enthusias tically received by them. It would have been indeed Str ange if it had been otherwise. So long a period of 'valuable service as nine years is not likely to be for gotten, or swallowed up in the pretensions of one who comes forward for the first time, and that time merely ell the recommendation of a busy-body clique, whose connection with the ward it is impcssible to see.

Prince Alfred is_ about to visit Metelin, the Dardanells. The following appeared in a part of our impression of yesterday : SPAIN AND MOROCCO. The Morning Post has received the following despatch, dated Paris, Wednesday, 9.30 p. m. :—The affair be tween 'Spain aad Morocco has now arrived at a point when its immediate settlement may be expected; CHINA. The Times presumes that the Government has now received information which renders it abundantly cer tain, notwithstanding the denials of the Chinese officials, that the preparations at the mouth of the Peiho, were an imperial act of the Chinese Government, and that the repulse of the forces of England and France was but the successful execution of a predetermined scheme to resist the fulfilment of the treaty of Tien-Tsing. The Times insists that the great fact of our defeat at the Peiho, must be matched by an equally famous fact at Pekin, for your Chinaman believes in deeds but not in words. FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETIES. The revising barrister for East Surrey, in deciding the claims of about 40 persons holding small allotments as members of land societies, said he should take the allotments at the value they would stand at if brought into ,the open market.

AYRSHIRE ELEarioN.—The writ for the election of a member for the county arrived on Tuesday, and the sheriff has fixed Wednesday, the 26th instant, for the nomination, and Friday, the 28th as the polling day. Both candidates have now concluded their canvass, and both, from the terms of new addresses issued to the constituency, arc confident of success. Time only will reveal who is to be the " coming man," although numerous bets are being taken that the young Conser vative will be at the head of the poll on the 28th.— North British Daily Mail. THE GREAT JEWISH FAST AT LEGHORN.—On the 7th of this month, on occasion of the Great Fast, the Jewish community of Leghorn filled to overflowing the synagogue of that city. There were more than 3,000 persons, in whose presence the rabbi recited the following prayer expressly composed for King "Victor Emmanuel :—" May He who watches over the safety of kings, who grants dominion to princes, whose empire extends throughout all generation, who freed His servant David from the murderer's sword, who opened a way through the waves, and traced out a path amidst the rushing billows ; may He bless guard, de fend, succour, elevate, and exalt to the highest pitch the elected King, Victor Emmanuel ! May the King of Kings guard him, keep him alive, and free him from every suffering and danger ! May the King of Kings, by His clemency, elevate and exalt the star of his destiny, and grant to him long and tranquil days of dominion ! May the King of Kmgs in His mercy grant unto him and unto all his councillors and ministers power and valour !" After these words, uttered with great solemnity and feeling, the whole auditory, deeply moved, responded with a loud " Amen !" ARRIVAL OF THE NORTH AMERICAN• The Montreal Ocean Steamship Company's screw steamer North American, Captain Aiton, arrived in the Mersey yesterday evening, with the Canadian mails, and 101 passengers-17 cabin, and 84 steerage. The Cana dian news is entirely devoid of interest ; and the United States advices have been anticipated through other channels. The following is a list of the cabin passengers : Lieutenant-Colonel Lucas and lady; Miss APlCenzie, Mr. Gibbs, Mr. L. J., Mrs., and Miss Marron and three children, Mr. T. H, Hodges and son, Al r. Dobb, Mr. Woods, M. A. Jorgenson, Mr. B. H. Bent, and Mr. E. Wright. The Vanderbilt arrived at Southampton last night. Sailed from New York on the Bth. On freight $704,000 in specie, $lOO,OOO of which are for England. The Canada had arrived at Halifax, and the Fulton at New York. Nothing new has transpired with reference to the San Juan difficulty ; and altogether the political news is un important. Despatches were received at Washington on the sth from the Marshal of New Orleans, stating that he was mistaken in regard to the sailing of the' steamer Phila delphia with Walker's filibusters, and that both steamer and filibusters were still at. New Orleans. The govern ment immediately sent a despatch to the Marshal, ordering him to seize the filibusters wherever they could be found. Without loss of time the Marshal proceeded to act on these instructions, and seized the steamer ; and the government of Washington, on being informed thereof, gave directions that the captain and crew should be detained, with a view of judicial proceedings for' being employed in a filibustering expedition. The tow-boat Panther had also been seized, together with the captain and crew, and 'the party who went down the river as far as the South Pass in that vessel had been arrested, surrendering themselves peaceably. An artillery company from Baton Rouge was on its way to the point were, it is said, the filibusters had congregated, and was to be used by the United States Marshal as occasion required in the effort to arrest them. The greatest earnestness had been exhibited for the frustration of the expedition, and so far the efforts of the Federal officers had been successful. The opinion was, that the whole scheme had been frustrated. Despatches were in preparation at the Department of State at Washington for the American Minister in China, enlightening him on the subject of neutrality. Several private despatches had been received at the War Department from General Scat, dated at the Key West, where the steamship had put in for the purpose of forwarding them. The old General was in excellent health. Despatches of great importance had been telegraphed to him in reply. The election in Georgia had resulted in Governor Brown's re-election by fully 15,000 majority. Senator Frederick and Judge Terry had fought a duel at San Francisco, and the judge received a wound in the throat, which was supposed to be mortal. The most recent despatches from Mexico say that the Liberals make light of the recent engageinent between Generals Won and Degollado. The latter was still near Villita, whence he had sent word to the Commae der-in- Chief that his division was nearly organised. The bri gade of Zacatecas, supported by . six field-pieces and a numerous park of artillery, had incorporated itself with the division of the centre. Numerous desertions from the enemy to the Liberals are reported—at one time 500 infantry, and at another a numerous body of cavalry. There was no concentration of troops for a combined attack, nor does it appear that any definite plans have yet been agreed upon by the Liberals. New York cotton market of 7th without animation. Flour rather higher. Wheat firmer. Cotton sales at New Orleans small--the market closing at 104 c. to 11-t i c. for middling.

STATE OF TRADE IN FRANCE.—The improvement visible in commercial affairs last week appears to be extending, although not with that rapidity which might be wished. A number of country buyers have been in the Paris market to procure their assort ments for the winter, and the retail dealers in the capital have also now come forward in good earnest to replenish their stocks, which, from the system which they have for some months adopted of purchasing only for present watts, have been reduced very low. The manufacturers of Paris have also received some orders from the 'United States during the last week, with promises that others will speedily follow. The accounts from Lyons, Rouen, and Mulhausen are more favour able. There has been an animated demand far raw cotton at Havre, but without leading to any material change in quotations. Little or nothing has been done in raw or refined sugar. In the Paris Corn Market during the week prices have been exceedingly firm. The four marks of flour were quoted as high as 55f. 50c. and 56f. the sack of 159 kilog. Wheat was but little offered, the price for fine qualities varying from 28f. 50c. to 20f. the 120 kilog. Rye was in demand at 18f., and 18f. 50c. the 115 kilog. ; and barley was firm at 18f. 50c., and 19f. the 100 kilog. The prices from the country markets all tend upwards.—Gatignani.

Sutton, Formby; Richard Sutton, Formby ; James Shaw, Formby ; and James Reynolds, Ince Blundell, A Boy - DRINKING HIMSELF TO. DEATH.—An inquest was held yesterday before P. F. Curry, Esq., coroner, on the body of Martin Moran, a boy, aged ten, and living at 72, Blundell-street. The mother of the deceased stated that she sent - her son and another boy to buy some candles, and it appears that while on the .way they passed some casks of rum, from one of which the deceased withdrew the bung, and took several drinks, which affected him to such an extent that he died shortly after.—A verdict of -" Death from excessive drinking" was returned. COUNTY COURT, YESTERDAY. BEFORE W. A. HULTON, ESQ.—ACTION ON A Goon—D UTTON V.

The price agreed upon was £9. The defendant's wife paid down £2, and afterwards paid £5. The remainder (£2) was not paid, -on the grounds, as alleged by the de fendant, that several of the fixtures which had been bought from the plaintiff had been carried off. In the account rendered to the defendant, there was the sum of 15s. claimed for a blind, 3s. 6d. damage done to a bed, and oue or two other small items. The blind, the de fendant averred, was included in the goodwill.—His Honour took this view of the case, and gave a verdict for £2 Os. Bd. EXTRAORDINARY DEATH.—At the Coroner's Court, yesterday, an inquest was held on the body of a widow lady, named Walkinshaw, residing in Sandon-terrace. From the evidence of the servant, who appears to have been the only witness present at the time, it appears that deceased was standing on a chair, for the purpose of removing one of her window curtains, when the chair accidentally slipped, causing the unfortunate woman to fall with such violence upon one of its legs, that it en tered the abdomen, laceratinc , its sides, and inflicting . in juries to such an extent that she died yesterday morning. Mr. John Atcherly, the surgeon who attended before death, was also called, and stated that when he was ealled to attend deceased, he found her suffering from profuse hemorrhage. 1 iTpon making a post mortem examination of the body, lie found the cause of death to be laceration of the lower portion of the abdomen.—The jury, after some considera tion, returned a verdict of " Accidental death." GREAT EASTERN.—EXCURSION FROM WEXFORD.— ' Tie steamer Troubadour left Wexford, for Holyhead, on Tuesday evening last, with a large party of the most influential and respectable inhabitants of the town and county of Wexford ; that magnificent vessel" having, by the kindness of her owner, Jno. E. Redmond, Esq., M.P. for the borough of Wexford, been placed at the disposal of his constituents and friends, for the purpose of visiting the Great Eastern at Holyhead. This libe -rality on the part of the worthy and energetic member was.duly appreciated by large numbers, who partook of the welcome opportunity, including several ladies, the number of which latter would have been largely in creased but for the unfavourable state of the weather at starting. The enjoyment of the excursion was much enhanced by. the fine weather during her stay at Holy head, the kind treatment of the able commander of the Troubadour, Captain Edmond Roach, and the seaworthy properties of the ship. CHURCH RATES. - Last evening, a meeting was held 'in St. Columba's school-room, Pleasant-street, for the purpose of communicating information on this subject, and on the attempts which arc made to deprive the poor of their rights for the benefit of possessors of property. The meettng had been summoned only on Tuesday, by a few handbills, yet there was a respectable attendance of the working classes in the district. The Rev. Wray R. Hunt, incumbent, occupied the' chair, and in his opening address he alluded to the general aspect of the question. He maintained the reasonableness and equity of some provision for preserving, religious ordinances in the land, find showed that while voluntary efforts have done much • good, they mee tin requirements of a great nation.—The Rev. Dr. Hume instanced the new Poor-law system, and the modern arrangements of the Committee of Council on Educa tion, to show that public objects are not left to be pro moted by private benevolence entirely ; and he men tioned his own church, which', though a public Institu tion given by private generosity, ho had been obliged to insure. from • fire, himself, for two years.—The Rev. Thos. Moore; of St, Stqnliere Edge-hill, next addressed the meeting briefly, after which a form of petition was 'adopted to both houses of. ,parliament, and signed by most of the men who were present. TILE BYROM LITERAILt ..SOCItTY.—The third soiree of the members and friends of this .society was held on Wednesday evening, in the school-room adjoining the ßyrom-street-chape. The room, which Wag profusely and tastefully decorated with flags, &c., for the occasion; was crowded, considerable numbers of the fair sex being present, contributing not less by their personal at tractions to the adornment of the room than the artistic efforts of the members. The chair was taken shortly after seven o'clock, by the Rev. Thomas Dawson (president of the society), who strongly recommended such societies to young men anxious for helps to self-improvement, and desirous of extending the limits .of their knowledge or that of others.. He invited all to join in the cultivation of their nobler faculties, and advised the adoption of the. Bible as guide through life and chart to immortality. An excellent paper was then read by Mr. James Davies, "Glimpses of other times," which provoked much laughter at the eccentricities of the past. -Mr. J. S. H. Evans read a capital - essay on " Grievances," giving a facetious account of popular grievances, real or imaginary, past and• present, -which was much applauded. Mr. Linton also read a paper on " Satire,' its history, use and abuse, and givin, .short descriptions of the special characteristics of different 'safiiktsts of the present day. This subject was very ably_ hated, and was received with much enthusiasm. The last paper was one by Mr. Cooke, on " Self-culture," in which were embedded some sound practical suggestions, to aid in the performance of this . essential duty. moreT he proceedings itne rteeislt,ianlgs by ehrl3e, the v enlivened, vie delivery rßayn. of fn i fchkpumon Lockman u b ! an e nt,sd rendered Josephrecita tionsaniraotl.;), ),udialogue,g Powell, which elicited much applause, and still more so concludingaipn which Mrs. W.

RISE OF THE NILE.--The great and absorbing sub ject of interest at Alexandria during the past month has been the slow rise of the Nile this seeson. As compared with last year, the river has continued throughout the whole of its period somewhat lower each day, and has not reached to its greatest height of last year, when, however, it fell more rapidly than it has been falling up to this date. The latter circumstance will mitigate in some measure the disastrous consequences of the river not having risen this year even to the height it reached last year, when it was insufficient for the complete irri gation of those lands (called Bayadeh) which constitutes t wo - thirds of the arable laud of Lower Egypt, and which are not, like the rest (called Mistowih) cultivated by artif.eial irrigation.

M. Mackay, Mr, 0, R. Hall, Mr. Stitt, Mr. Melly, and other gentlemen will address the meeting. SIMON FRASER, Chairman. JABEZ JONES, Hon. Sec. Please produce this circular on enteriag the hall. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES Sir,—So we really are to have an opposition. The small clique of restless, rabid politicians, who, without weight, position, or influence in the ward, have, never theless, contrived for the last month to keep it in a ferment, and to drag the Liberal party through the mire, to the disgust of evory honourable mind. After being snubbed by two gentlemen, they have at length succeeded (and, as rumour states, by the promise of paying all expenses) in inducing a third to come forward and lead their "forlorn hope," in the person of Mr. Clarke Aspinall. What the claims of this gentleman are, lamat a loss to imagine. He is an entire stranger in the ward, and totally unknown to the electors; whereas Mr. Nickson is personally acquainted with the great majority of the electors, and his long residence in the town has not only made him cognizant of its local wants and requirements, but his general conduct, character, and ability, have inspired that respect and unanimity of feeling on bis behalf, which renders opposition hopeless. I have nothing to say against Mr. Aspinall; he may be "All that fancy paints him," but he is not the man for the tradesmen of St. Anne's ward. Had Mr. Aspinall consulted their wishes, instead of listening to the repre sentation of a wise few, he would not have been placed in his present false position. It is to bo regretted that his discretion has not equalled his valour, and that his first entrance into public life should be associated with — Defeat. It may not yet be too late to retreat ; and that, as in the case of Mr. Hall, some " unforeseen and unavoid able circumstance" may yet transpire to extricate , him from the dilemma into which his simplicity has led him. —Yours, &c.; AN ELECTOR. CASTLE-STREET WARD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. __. Six,—May I ask if one of the persons attending the meeting of Mr. Steains' friends, at the Common-hall, Hackin's-hey, last night, who, on the occasion, appeared to be more big with speech than pregnant with argu ment, is the same who, a few years ago, resigned his seat in the Town Council in order to become a candidate for the office of "chief of police," in which high aspi ration. and stroke of relief, he was, fortunately for the -• • - public, checked by the good sense of his late colleagues id the council chamber, If he be the gentleman in question, a key at oiled afforded to his observations Of 1. 1,; last night, in his a ssume d versa::._ v 0144', 7" `°" makes him a fit parallel to the illustrious anu: . " 8 " 11 ". guished political leader of the small Whig party, of whom it has been written, that he would be willing either to take the command of the chan nel fleet, or to undertake the minutest operation in phlebotomy, so conscious is he of his consum mate ability. The members of the legal profession who addressed the meeting last night may be excused the pique displayed, in not having the honour thrust upon them which has been so graciously proposed to Mr. Woodburn, by not only a majority of that body, but, I believe it will also be found on the Ist November, by a majority of the electors of the ward. The twenty-four " sitting in a row," so eloquently alluded to, by several speakers, will, no doubt, prove blackbirds, and not show the white feather; and to indulge these platform orators with a little more nur sery literature, from which source they borrowed so largely, I woad remind them "when the pie was open" (the return of the poll, Ist proximo,) " the birds begin to sing," and the chorus will be— Woodburn has in the Council-chamber got a seat, Steains has sustained a signal defeat. I remain, sir, yours obediently, October 20th, 1859. VINDEK. SUPPOSED LOSS . ,OP A STEAMER IN THE CHANNEL BY Ex PLOSION.—For several days much anxiety has prevailed respecting some wreck which has been cast up on the Cornish coast, and which is believed to have formed part of a large steamer .which has blown up. The schooner Devonport, Captain Ferguson, on a voyage from the Thames to Plymouth last week, fell in with some : wreck off the Bolt Head, and being a light wind, a. boat was sent to examine the timbers, build, &c. It was found to be part of the maindeck of a large vessel, and from appearances it was judged to have belonged to some foreign steamer. The deck had been capsized, and the deck beams and under part of the deck were exposed and were painted white throughout. The beams were of large scantling, and the deck was com posed of 4 or 42 inch plank, the metal spikes of which are evidently of foreign make. Lashed to the under side of the deck was an iron tiller (spare one) of nearly 5 cwt., which was brought off by the crew of the schooner; a piece of copper or metal pipe of 10 feet long and 3 to 4 inches diameter, with a short length of canvas hose attached to one end, was also brought away. A large hole, supposed to be that for the funnel, was visible, and the under part of the deck in the neighbourhood had been lined with tin, as if to preserve the wood from the heat. It bad all the appearance of being but recently in the wat er , no grass , or wee d, or s li me being about it, and the paint was quite fresh. On the fol lowing day the wreck was washed ashore at Pentewan, and Captain Eden, R.N., of the Plymouth Dockyard, proceeded to inspect it, and from his report, which has been forwarded to Lloyd's, it appears that he is of opinion that the wreck is the remains of some i steam boat which apparently had blown up ; that t is of foreign build, and had not been long in the water. The catastrophe must have happened, therefore, in or near the mouth of the English Channel. • 5 MONUMENT TO THE LATE MR. FIELDEN, •M.E: Wtr are indebted to the Manchester- Examiner for an -aee.ount of .a public meeting at Stalybridge, on Tuesday evening, to promote the erection of a monument in Tod inorden, to the memory of the late John Fielden, for merly M.P. for Oldham, for his exertions in procuring the. Ten Hours' Bill. The Rev. Joseph Reyner Stephens of Stalybridge, presided. Mr. Abel Swan, Stalybridge, moved :---“That, in the opinion of this meeting, the ser vices rendered by the late John Fielden to the factory operatives of this country are deserving of grateful recog to ebtx e ho r cer e eo c e du, t, erect , in ui xh i gondl , y nitiort, and we therefore hail with satisfaction the pro posalKTa wn o i enddl King," o f, or thewdr e a n hs , i a r. appointmenta sssu ita bleale, aant dtmonumenthhoeef delivered tevt to eirnl his memory." The motion was seconded .by Mr. Joseph Wardlow,and carried unanimously, with much com mittee g to etio ca a rr d y dress, out ie t he eu pp a o bo rt ve ef cheenng ; as was, a resolution to raise. a subscription objects. the e h j e e tM,erf. the R. il° m an e sk e tte t ilh i nne n ereg g : . He said he was thnnkful to his God that he was once more enabled to stand before them--not with ` the same energy as formerly—but with a heart as fully in their service as it ever was. He was also thankful that they were assembled to do an act such as they w er e c t h he it fac was tory their la w called together to perform; that evening , and he hop e d they would do their duty: in subscribing their sh are determinationt ovardserce t erecting ra that ise . moil e u m never would be kept until the breach of the law was rewardech by criminal punishment. Mr. Oastler then spoke at-considerable length as to the factory apprentice ship system, and gave- an interesting account of the b e e il l t iev w e h d i exertions of those who had been engaged in obtaining the passing of the Ten Hours' Bill, naming Robt. Owen, Sir Robert Peel and Nathaniel Gould (who spent £lO,OOO in the movement, and who, Ile had been told, left £lO,OOO, but it never got into thehands of theshort time committee), and others. Mr. ()ostler then alluded to. Michael Thomas Sadler, to Hindley, and Brotherton. When Hindley introduced him to Brotherton, Brother ton took him in his arms and kissed' him es the friend of I:little children. Ho glorified him, and said, " Oh, that Nathaniel Gould was alive !" Then John Fielden took him in hand. At first he told him that he feared him, because he could not see that a Tory could take such a part. But he afterwards said lie saw that be (Mr. Oast ler) was in earnest, and he gave him his hand, and a more faithful one he never clasped. Mr. Fielden went with him through good report and throtigh bad report. His money was always ready, and he knew that he (Mr. Oastler) could net have carried on the work as he had, had it not been for his (Mr. Fielden's) sovereigns. Alluding to the select committee which was appointed, he said a more important document than the report of the committee did not exist, and he recommended every one present to read it. After alluding to several person ages who were engaged for and against the measure, Ihe came to the time when John Fielden took the cause in hand, and he paid a high tribute to Mr. Fielden's exertions and to the talent which he displayed whilst advocating the Ten Hours', Bill, until it passed the House of Commons. Mr. Oastler then alluded to Mechanics Institutions, public parks, to the education of the people, &c., and to the general progress for the better of the working mom, and he said these things were never dreamt about until the factory movement commenced ~ so that all, more or less, owed a debt of gratitude to John Fielden. He did think that it became the nation to raise a monument worthy of the name of John Fielden, and as an ex pression of that gratitude that should be felt to God for raising up a man so worthy of perpetual fame. (Loud and long-continued cheers .) A vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting terminated with three cheers for the " Old King," the Fielden Monument, and the Ten Hours' Bill. COURT AND OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. After breakfast, on Monday morning, the Queed planted in the grounds of Penrhyn Park, very near to the Castle, two young trees—an English oak and a Wel lingtonia gigantica. Lady Louisa Pennant and several of the distinguished guests were present at this cere mony, and no doubt the "Queen's trees" will long re main as a memento of the Royal visit. The Cabinet Council on Wednesday was only attended by Lord John Masse% the Duke of Newcastle, the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, Sir Charles Wood, the Duke of Somerset, Sir George Grey, Earl of Elgin, Hon. T. Milner Gibson, and the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers. Viscount Palmerston left London on Tuesday even ing for his seat, Broadlands, Hants. The Chancellor of the Exchequer left London on Tuesday evening for Holyhead. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess d'Au male and the Count de Paris, arc staying on a visit to Count and Countess de Jarnac, at Thomastown Castle, their seat in Ireland. the last sittin of ill the P iTel t g A in " Acte 'r m i l o -k- f " Sc z i e en l4- . c — es, A a t: from M. Telesphore Lois, dated from Quito, in whim ue says :—"The Brazilian and Peruvian Governments have promised a large premium to whoever shall descend .the river of the Amazons, from its source to its mouth. I have collected sixty-one men resolute and well armed ; we have 1,500 leagues of river to descend, an immense country to cross, and one hundred barbarous nations to visit. I hope that the good fortune which has hitherto attended my other expeditions will not fail me on this occasion. If I die, I have taken measures that my manuscripts and my collections shall be transmitted to the kademy." Sport* Antageatt. OCTOBER. RACING FIXTURES, 1859. Newmarket, li.
