RPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE =Yesterday BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD, HOW THE FIGHT BEGAN AND HOW IT ENDED. --Catherine Maguire, a resident of Rushton's-court, Prussia-street, was charged with having stabbed a young woman, named Elizabeth Sullivan, and she was also charged with having seared the arm of Mary Griffiths with a red-hot poker. Mr. Cobb defended. The way it all happened was as follows : Mrs. Garrigau—whether she is a myth or not, it is of no consequence; she was represented as a dispenser of " stuff" —what sort is also a mystery—in a cellar in Prussia-street. It came to pass that one Margaret Clarke, who is sister to the prisoner, Catherine Maguire, was a customer of the aforesaid Mrs. Garrigan. The latter lady, it seemed, was closing her books; and sent a messa to ' stump up," which Mrs but alleged that Mrs no obiect G. cla than was due to her "'difficulty and ti it camE relations and the "relations gan to co: court, and ambassadors began to arrive from all quarters of that neighbourhood. The line that was not to be crossed, without danger of " hostilities," was a certain water-course that ran down th e cen t re of the yard. The forces were drawn up at each side of this Rubicon, and a good deal of sharpshooting and skirmishing, in the way of talk, took place. At last, Mrs. Maguire, thinking that parley was of no use, resolved on a bold and determined charge on the enemy's left wing, and in order to be seconded in this movement, she armed herself with a red-hot poker, and rushed hea 7 dlong on her foes. This gallant completely broke the ranks of General Garrigan, - and they fell back left and right. The disorder, however, was only of temporary continuance, for the forces closed on her nddaring a( and made furious they did, but m attacks to capture the standard, whit until she left her mark on th arm of MWry Griffiths, a mark that is likely to remain . as long as her name remains Griffiths. She got away, however, and re-armed herself with a knife, and came to the charge a second time, cutt Elizabeth Sullivan d'i'd the parties; and of ours, lnie in for the worst of the affra but, preservin the prisoner inflicted which ran to an extent of nearly 3j inches long and - down to the bone.

The markets' committee met in the Town-hall, at eleven o'clock, yesterday, Mr. Johnson presided, and the other members present were —Messrs. Woodruff, Mellor, Houghton, Ridley, Holden, Haydock, and Shimmin. THE CHAIRMAN AND MR. LUYA, Mr. Woodruff begged to call attention to a paragraph which appeared in the Liverpool Mercury, of the 3rd inst., and which was as follows :—" MR. LuYA.•—A ratepayer asks what the police are about in not apprehending Mr. Luya, who was seen in Liverpool a few days ago. O ur correspondent also wishes to know if it be true tnat since the absconding of Mr. Luya, the chairman of the markets committee has had communications from him, and if so, whether the chairman, as he was bound to do, communi cated that fact to the police." Now, Mr. Wo o d ru ff t h ought their position as a committee was quite unplea san t enough, in consequence of recent disclosures ar i s i ng out of the defalcations of in the without a n y unnecessary excite ment being raised the public mind by such statements as that, if they were not true. He b egge d to ask the chairman whether he knew anything of Mr. Luya having been seen in. town The Chairman : I do not. Mr. Woodruff: Have you received any communication from him directly or indirectly, either as the chairman or as a member of the committee, since his absconding ? The Chairman : Most certainly not. I saw that paragraph myself, but, really, I thought it was so absurd that it was scarc e ly wor th ta k ing notice of at all. I must most certainly, flatly deny having had any correspon dence or communication with Mr. Luya, or having known anything at all about his whereabouts since he left the market. I have been from time to time in communi cation with the detective police, advising with them as to how they should proceed, and my instructions to them have been, on every occasion, to use every exertion in attempting to take Mr. Luva. Mr: WO'odru: ity to ask the question, proper, clear, decisive answer, yea or nat Mr. Ridley said his attention was called to the subject in the Exchange News-room, and he at once said he did not believe one word of the statement. In stating that, how ever, he must confess that he was much disappointed at the chairman's not havin g laid before th e comm i ttee certa i n correspondence he had had with Mr. Luya, about the time that the latter absconded. The chairman had had some communications from Mr. Luya, which it was his duty to have laid before the committee at the first opportunity. Now, that had not been done. The Chairman letters. There was no secret Mr. Ridley : I never saw them. The Chairman : I gave them into the hands of the Town-clerk. One of the letters is here now, and it can be read at once. Mr. Ridley: It was your duty, too, I think, to have laid upon the table, a copy of the notice of suspension which you sent to Mr. Luya. That you have not done. The Chairman : No, I did not, and I am quite unable to do so. I kept no copy of it. Mr. Ridley : I think you were exceedingly remiss in not keepinc , a copy of such a d ocumen t . Mr. ' Woodruff : I think it was rather unfortunate. The Chairman : Probably it was a little irregular. The following letter from Mr. Luya to the chairman was then produced and read : Dear Si "April 28th, 1859 many acts of kindness I M ) return my thanks myself.—l am. dear Livery BRATIAM LUYA " To J. Johnston, Mr. Woodruff : How did you get that lett( The Chairman : T letters were both left at the Mar Office by some messenger. Mr. Woodruff : How many letters . The Chairman : That and another. Mr. Woodruff : Were they both directed to yo, The Chairman : They were. Mr. Woodruff : What was the nature of the other com munication ? Was it public or private ? The Chairman : The nature of the other ran thus—" I hereby inform you that I, this day, resign my situation as superintendant of St. John's Market," or words to that effect. They were both sent on the same day. Mr. Haydock : These letters never came before the committee up to this time. The Chairman : I showed them to the town-clerk, and he said they were of no importance. I showed them to the committee at their next meeting after. Mr. Ridley : I am sorry to be obliged to deny that I ever saw them, or ever knew them to be produced at any meetir f the committee. I think I was at every meeting of lmmittee since, and I came early. I never " ' • Nnr T w them Mr. Hay , signation of 'Jr.) .4o a I showed the two ht to have been laid before the coninnittee The subject at this point was allowed to drop. Some conversation took place with regard to the closi if the North Haymarket, and the reference from the coun tpon that subject. It was finally agreed that Mess 'olden, Shimmin, and Mellor should be appointed a den to wait upon the watch committee regardin £HE CASE OF AGNES GIBSON. gal was read from tenants in the Fish Mark —crence to the case of Agnes Gibson, the unhap woman who recently co mm itt e d sn i c i de, as detailed by 11 Gladstone at the last meeting of the council. The - rialists stated that the take the stall, and carry on the busir A mem sister of the woman was willing ald grow to age when ti t of th kir. Shimmin advocated the prayer of the memorial, a ` 4 ontion to the whole case as a peculiarly distressi He a.rld if that poo: licide, and bef Mr: Tyrer w. lot paid her r While the thi4--ss was running on he asked her what she meant Co To r ; she said a person opposite had promised to lend her tl money. He reminded her that three weeks rent would 1 due the following Saturday. She called to him afterward and told him that the woman who promised to lend her ti money had declined to do so, and that she had now no meal of paying the rent. He reported the case to Mr. Ilutchi son, the superintendent. Mr. Hutchinson told him to 1 the stall, but he said he would rather not have anything do with it, and Mr. Hutchinson then asked who was tl oldest applicant for the stall. This was a young wom; who was a servant in one of the fish shops, and who h been fir some time an applicant for a stall. It was aft which h ister of A ion was therefore not seconded, at ROPOSED WHOLESAI A. deputation of farmers waited erence •to the proposed wholesa Willi ;mson- Town-c z. • and .own out to meet the wish it was 'e m trkct, which square.

They would then be able to see at once what places were empty, and what occupied. Under the former plan he was not at all surprised that the markets had been defrauded to so fearful an extent. A plan might be easily made out which would prevent any collector, however dishonest, from systematically cheating the corporation. He knew of no system more perfect than that adopted in the eolleetiop of the government rates, Regan notice that, at the next meeting of the committee, he would move that a plan of the markets be laid upon the table with the number of each place, shop, or stall given consecutively that a proper rent-roll be made out, and other steps, which he shonld th en b e prepared to explain, taken to ensure a free, full, and efficient check upon the collection of the rents. Mr. Haydock again complained that the resignation of Mr. Luya had not been laid before the committee. The Chairman said the resignation could not be accepted, and it was therefore of no importance. He mentioned the fact to every member of the committee, and he announced it from the chair. Mr. Ridley : You told me of it outside the door. I cer tainly expected to have heard it announced to the committee, but I did not hear it. This concluded the public business of the committ THE BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS. Yesterday evening, the commissioners held their last meeting in the Board-roam, Hamilton-street, Birkenhead, previous to the election, which takes place to-day, John Laird, Esq., chairman, presided. The other members present were—Messrs. Gough, Barnett, Baylis. Bradley, Hinde, Harrison, M`Gill, Willoughby, M'Whirter, and M‘Donald. HEALTH COMMITTEE. The minutes of this committee having been read, which had reference to the sewer at Park-grove, Mr. Bradley moved the adoption of the proceedings. Dr. Baylis, in seconding the motion said, there were many things in the local government act which, if it had been adopted by the township, would have given them much more power, to deal with those opposed to the improvement of the township, than they had at present; but they would have been obliged to make an annual report to the Secretary of State, and they would have had to get the consent of parliament, and considerable expense would have been incurred. He thought the committee were right in the view they had taken, and it was his opinion that the committee were anxious to have their own act amended as soon as poesible. One thing was evident, that the ma g istrates had not en f orce d the law, and that was one of theirdifficulties. But from whatever source these difficulties arose the law ought to be remedied as soon as possible, and he thought they could get their own act so amended as to give them the power necessary at as little cost as by any other means. Mr. Hind said that the nuisance, which originated from the drainage at Shrewsbury, was very great, and the com mittee could not go to work with clean hands so long as they were so crippled. They were extremely anxious to come to terms with the people of Oxton, and had offered to to join their sewers, which terminated at the end of Shrewsbury-road, so as to carry off the nui sance. The proposal was that the Oxton people were to pay the sum of 20s. a-year, and be limited to seven years. Oxton had no passage to the river, and would at some time have to make a sewer at an enormous expense, or come to terms with the commissioners. They, however, objected to the agreement for seven years, thinking that the commissioners were intending to trap them in some way or other ; and one of the members, with great good sense, said the agreement should be made in perpetuity. It was finally agreed to leave the matter in the hands of Mr. New lands, of Liverpool, so that he might say how Oxton and the board might come to terms. He had been much disappointed in their letter, to find that they had shirked the great question entirely, stating that they would turn their sewerage into an open watercourse ; that they had no more right to do than they had to run it into his drawing room. The committee had therefore come to the determination of carrying their sewers,to the extreme verge of the town ships and the owners of landed property there would have a right to fill up the ditch and shut the people of Orton up. The Chairman said, it was a matter that had occupied a great deal of their attention, and the only objection was that, the committee should be bound to provide a sewer and drainage for the people of Oxton. That was the objection that the committee took, and he thought that it was not fair that the ratepayers of Birkenhead should make a sewer for those people FERRY COMMITTEE. This committee recommended that the ferry boats should ply every quarter of an hour during the summer months, from both sides of the river, up to midnight. The followin g were the ferry receipts for May:- 1858— £2,579 4s 5d .. 1859—L2,373 16s ld Receipts from the 24th of April to the 31st of May :- 1838—.0,986 15s 2d 1859—L2,767 14s 3d Expenditure during the same period:- 1858—£1,819 7s 1859—L1,442 7s 9d Mr. Harrison, in moving the confirmation of the pro ceedings, said it wo u ld b e o b serve d that this year the receipts had not been so large as in the corresponding month of last year, this was, however, accounted for in the receipts of Whitsuntide being included in last year's. He and Mr. M`Donald had waited on the Mersey Docks and - Harbour board in reference to the carrying of carriages across the river in the ferry boats, and the arrangements had been very satisfactory so far. He had seen the pro posed plan of going in and out by the new landing stage, and he thought there could be no better arrangement. He thought the dock board had given great attention to the subject, and he thought it would be satisfactory to the Commissioners to see the matter carried out, as he was sure it would be to the satisfaction of all parties. The Chairman said the Mersey Dock board had done all they could in the matter, and the plans were such that any gentleman could cross the water in his carriage, or any tradesman with his goods without taking his horse out of his cart. It would be a great convenience to both sides of the river, and there was a strong desire on the part of the board to meet the Commissioners fairly, and he hoped that the new board would take it up, as it would be of great good to all. LIBRAILY COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were read, and the third annual report, in accordance with the Act of Par liament, was also read Baylis proposed that the report be printed and cir lated, and also that the general proceedings be confirmed The Chairman said, the town and board were very much 1- `)ted to Dr. Baylis for the interest he had taken in the --- Tie was aware that the books were much sought ' a frequent applications from his clerks and r, as he I worKmen to obtain permission to borrow books from it. It was one of the best things that could be in any town. He believed they had an excellent librarian, and he hoped he would be better paid for his services, as they could not expect a man of ability to give his services for a trifle. Dr. Baylis said, that that was to be considered soon. A letter was then read in reference to having a town hall as a more commodious place of meeting. Mr. Ilinde said, before Mr. Laird would leave the chair, he had a pleasing duty to perform, and that was to move vote .of thanks to him for his able and impartial conduct (luring the past year as ch a i rman o f th at b oar d . He went on to detail the several improvements that had been made Mr. Laird's term of office, and concluded by hoping year that chair should not be dishonoured by worthy person ' Mr. Harrison seconded the motion. Mr. Laird thanked the proposer and seconder, and the other members present, for the manner in which thanks had been voted to him, and assured them that, whether he held office as commissioner another year or not, he would do all in his power to promote the welfare of the township. (Applause.) The meeting then separated. -......._ LEWIS AND COMPANY'S NEW ESTABLISHMENT FOR BOYS' CLOTHING.—Number of boys clothed for the week ending Saturday, June 4th, 966: corresponding week last year, 914.—Increase, 51 boys.

There were scarcely any applications at the Bank. —Daily News City Article, Saturday Evening. The English Funds opened at the reduced quotations of yesterday, and subsequently experienced a further decline. The renewed probability of a ministeriftl crisis next week, and a report that the militia are to be called out, and the tone of accounts from Germany, were among the causes assigned for the ultimate heaviness, and probably some effect was also created by the speech of Lord Ellenborough, and the reference he made to the secret agreement between Russia and France, and to the contingencies of neutrality.-- Times City Article, Saturday Evening.
