FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday, Oct. 18th, 1860. The Moniteur , publishes the comparative table of the direct and indirect taxes received during Lac nine first months of the years 1858, 1859, and 1860. The receipts from the Ist January to the 30th September of this year amount in round numbers to 788 millions of francs (thirty ?lle millions sterling). They amounted during the same period of last .year. to 799 millions of francs ; and forthe same period of 1858, to 812 millions. The diminution, as regards the three orst quarters of 1860, is 11 millions, compared With the receipts for a similar period of 1859 ; and 24 millions, as compared with 1858. This falli ng off arises on the, customs duties received cereals, which from SO millions have fallen to ° 8 Millions; upon sugars, the produce of French colonies, which have Sunk from 35 millions to 24 millions ; upon the sugars from foreign col onies, the duty on which has fallen from 25 millions to 8 millions ; and upon the duty on the menu-, facture of native sugars, which have fallen from 39 millions, or thereby, to, 29 millions. 1 1 the other hand , a very considerable increase has taken place in the registration duties, on registrars' fees, and on mortgages, which reached within the first nine months of 1860 nearly 224 millions of francs, whilst during the same period of last year they amounted to no more than 216 millions, and in 1858 to only 197 millions. The increase of duty arising from the sale of tobacco in different shapes is not less considerable. F or elcamnle while there was received under this branch of revenue during the first three quarters of 1859 scarcely 132 millions, and in 1858 1304 killions, these duties have reached during , the fir s t nine months of 1860 more than 138 millions. & he receipts from direct down 'to Se- tember amounted to 356 taxes millions, out of 30th the 47 p 9 millions due on the whole year. This sum of 3 5 8 millions exceeds by 37 millions the eight twelfths exigible. •-: We have here very remarkable testimony to the beneficial effect on the French excise tittles Of the lowering of the customs duties, and to the growing prosperity and wealth °f the French people; and if all this increase in the internal resources of the nation has taken plac e in spite of the constant state of unsteadiness la which the trade and commerce of the country have been kept, awing to the Mystery and sus }ense in which the Imperial policy is enveloped, it i s no t difficult to iinagine how much that pros perity would be augmented if these doubts were removed. The Moniteur also publishes to-day sonic very interesting details regarding the operations of the allied forces in the Peiho waters, and at the end of the account there given of the proceedings of the ,troops since their disembarkation, it is men tioned that at the moment of sending off the de patch, a Mandarin with a' blue button, escorted ip by two horsemen, made his appea rance, wavin g a flug of truce, who turned out to be the bearer of cer tain propositions on the part of the Chinese Govern went but it was not known what was the nature of them. It is further stated, by the Patrie of this evening, in its latest news, that despatches have been received from China in which it is asserted that General Ignatchoff, the Russian Ambassador at Pekin, who was on board a Russian man-of- War inthe Pecheli, had received intelligence from Pekin announcing that the Emperor of China Was seriously disposed to make peace with the allies after he had heard that they were in pos session of the forts on the Peiho.• It is to be hoped, however, that the allies will not be diverted by any such ruse from making their way to Pekin; and that they will intimate to the Chinese autho rities that no proposals for negotiations will be entertained until after their arrival in the capital. The French Government has given an explana tion of the circumstances in which the French seized, by the Neapolitan steamor,. Protis was Government. It Appears that she had several hundred Royal, troops on board, who were being conveyed to Gaeta to rejoin King 'Francis li. The Garibaldian Government, hearing of this, despatched a fast-going steamer after the Protis, which she speedily overtook, and after some par- leyi ng between the w ith commanderthe two vessels, the Protis returned to Naples the soldiers. Meanwhile the French admiral' heard' of the affair, and interfered. lie said he would not allow the troops to be sent on shore against their and it was 'agreed that the men should be individually interrogated as to their intentions, in presence of an aide-de-camp of the French admiral. The result' of the interrogation was that 380, of the soldiers demanded to be allowed to rejoin the King ! 200 expressed a desire to be allowed to rejoin their families, and one only asked to be allowed to miter the ranks of the Garibaldians. The whole of these men were in garrison in Naples When the King left, and the foregoing fact not only speaks strongly in favour of the hold which Francis 11. still retains over the private soldiers belonging to his army, but accounts for their having fought so well at the Volturno for his cause. A correspondent of the Debats thus refers to some of 'the personnel, of whom the 'Garibaldian army is at present composed, and especially to our English friends : If Arrivabene, who bears one of the best names in Italy, did well, in a moment of desperation, to draw his sword with a view of dying as became a brave man , by the side of Garibaldi, I cannot say so much for certain of the young English who are on the same side. These, also, bears great names, which they conceal under assumed ones. They have their comfortable hotels in Naples, go to the camp with splendid arms de precision, and in the evening they return to supper and count up the number of "Royalist birds " they think they have brought down. lam quite aware they expose them selves to danger with characteristic English intrepidity ; but this does not, in my eyes, appear sufficient to justify such conduct. Let it be distinctly understood that I do not intend to refer to those who are enrolled for regular service. The right of the disposal of one's own life and that of others, when one is bound by a soldier's duties or when one is fighting for one's country , f or One's 'family, or for one's religion, is a right which the human mind holds justly sacred; but conscience revolts at the idea of converting the tragic fatality of war into an ordinary shooting party. ' As for the situation of Garibaldi, it is but middling only. Yesterday (the 18th), and the day before, he was Profoundly anxious. Re has lost a great many of his Peopl e , more than the Royalists, since the commence ment of the siege; he has 8,000 men hors de combat—a great many wounds are no doubt of a slight character. 11e h as only 10,000 'at the most left, wherewith to form his line of battle. The Calabr ians have nearl y all l eft uini, and for the following reason the Sicilians, the Calabrians exhibit a certain disinclination to fight— not that they are cowards ; for, on the contrary, they throw away their rifles to close with the enemy with their daggers; but they give out t hat the y hav e been dragged away from their homes under the pretext of serving as the escort of the Dictator, and not to have their ears saluted with no otb.ex *ado !save the noise of pistols and - the •roar of cannon. Garibaldi, wearied out with these men, ordered an inspection; and as he does not pique himself on periphrases, he said to them, "Let the cowards go to one side, • and the brave men among you to the other ?" Nearly one-half of them withdrew. Their havresacks and pockets appeared to be extraordinarily„ protnberarit, and he caused: then to tie sounded, when the contents of the pockets Of these Calabrian patriots datised tid little asicnii4, depthe. The Vincennes §hooting match, as originally proposed, closed to-day; but the managers have received some very considerable sums of money for prizes. It has been decided by the committee that these new prizes shall be shot for to-morrow and on Saturday and Sunday, -on the usual condi , tions. But several foreigners hating ekpressed a desire to have one or t*n days set apart for shooting at it long range, it has been resolved that, if a sufficient number of amateurs come forward, there shall .be a poule at 600 metres in the garrison shooting ground; to-morrow and the following The fOlicokirigt tidtioe 110 bebri i§e - tiecl 1i the Prefecture of • Police , and sent to the various journals for publication : Attention has bccil drawl fin tome time past to the improprieties which go on at certain balls, where women who have acquired a certain degree of celebrity in these establishments endeavour, by means of all sorts of excentricitds, and of unbecoming gestures, to attract the attention of the spectators. Sonic scandalous scenes of this description, having taken place at one df these at the Baxtheleniy-Mall; the establishment has been Closed for a fortnight. The movements of the Austrian troops on . the frontiere are again draWing attention: The even ing journals ,state that .the Aristriatie are Making great concentrations of troops between ovigo and Mantua, and appear, by the position which they have taken up, to menace the Romagnas and the Duchies. It was believed that if hostilities break out, this part of Italy will be the theatre of the operations. To meet these movements of Austria, the Piedmontese Government was con centrating on the Mincio the greatest part of its army ; several divisions which were to go to Naples had received counter orders, and were about to take up a position on the extreme fron tier of Lombardy. These m eas ures naturally engaged a great deal of public interest, Which has been increased by an address Which is stated to have been delivered by Garibaldi to his. troops, in which he declared that Austria was in Venice contrary to the will and rights of Italy; and that if it would not give up this provtgce tti. ati *cable mariner, - it Mug, be talieti from her by force. I inngt . s3S that if Garibaidi actually Made anb Stich threatening speech, the precautions and military demonstrations of Austria ought no longer to be matter for surprise. At a sale in an auction room yesterday, a great curiosity was disposed of, among others. It was a 100 f. note, issued .by the famous bank of the great Franco-Scot financier, Law of Lauriston. It fetched five fillies its original value. The BOurse opened rather favourably this morning, but the rise was of short dUration, owing to the cirenlation of intelligence Of the simultaneous reed] ; of the Rii§silin Minister at Turin,. said of,the Piedmontese Minister from St. PetOrslilirg.

The French national shooting match was brought to a conclusion on Thursday. The Emperor was present for about a quarter of an hour. It is expected the principal prizes will fall to the lot of foreigners. RUSSIA AND THE AFFAIRS OF ITALY. The Paris correspondence of the Herald con tains news and rumours of the most serious character. Russia has recalled her Ambassador at Turin, and the Sardinian Ambassador at St. Petersburg has received his passports. It is reported thit Austria has come to an understanding with Russia on Italian affairs. With Russian aid Austria can throw the whole weight of her forces on Italy. Austria has already concentrated a large force, which occupies a threatening position. The Pied montese are in consequence collecting large bodies of troops close to the Mincio. Several divisions about to start for Naples have been counter mandeFl, and ordered to proceed to the Lom bardian frontier. The correspondent of the Herald adds, that the second division of the army ,of Lyons has received orders to start for Rome, and that ten regiments of infantry have been warned to prepare for immediate departure. RUMOURED WITHDRAWAL OF THE POPE TO GAETA. The Paris correspondent of the Herald men tions as a rumour that Cardinal Antonelli is endeavouring to induce the Pope to withdraw to Gaeta, and remarks on the startling complication which would arise from such an act.

A journal, published on the Lower Rhine, says that business in hops had all at once assumed an extraordinary animation. In the course of a fortnight prices had risen from 368 to 380 francs per 50 kilogrammes, ;which is about one cwt., to 400 francs, and had at last reached 500 francs. CHINA. The Moniteur of Thursday, after giving a sum mary of the allied operations in China, says that at the moment that despatches were sent off a mandarin with a blue button, escorted by two horsemen, had displayed a flag of truce and brought propositions on the part of the Chinese Government, but it was not known what .the nature of those propositions were. ............

AGAINST GARIBALDI'S DECREE IN FAVOUR OF THE FAMILY OF THE ASSASSIN MILANO. • GAETA, Oct. 6. Signor Cassella has addressed the following circular note to the diplomatic corps at Gaeta : "After quoting the decree which appeared in the officialjournal of Naples, on the 28th ult., con cernin the family of Milano, Signor Casella says, in bringing the . above decree to the cognizance of Signor —, the undersigned Minister, Secretary of State, President of the ministerial council, and provisionally entrusted with the pOrtfolio of foreign affairs, considers him self justified in abstaining from any comment on this unqualified measure. Revolution has never arrived in any country at such a degree of, per versity and anarchy as to sanctify regicide, to set a premium upon assassination, and by the ex ample to officially stimulate the extermination of sovereigns. This,• in fact, is not only done, but done in a city occupied by . Piedmontese of Sardinia, and who, without being troops, by a leader acting in th e name of the King disavowed, has for the last four months assumed the flag and the name of the latter. A man who attempts to assassinate his fellow man ; a soldier who leaves the ranks to kill his general ; a subject who uses his bayonet against his king —these • are deemed martyrs worthy of praises, of tears, and of reward by the government of General Garibaldi ; and this apotheosis is publiey made in the journals of Naples : and in the name of king Victor Emmanuel are rewards given and offered to regicides. Such an example speaks more forcibly than all decla mations upon the miserable moral condition into which the Kingdom has fallh, and of the anarchy which, after the triumph. of invasion, has possessed the country with its designs. The undersigned considers it unnecessary to protest against this scandalous decree, since all the sentiments of morality, honour, and religion which exist i n t he heart of man protest for themselves. The under signed denounces this decree to the justice of Europe . as one of the clearest among the m an y proof s o f th e t en d enc i es o f the men who, by foreign f orce ; an d p ro fiting by unheard of treason , have usurped the most considerable part of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The unde rsi g ned profits, &c., &c.—Signed, Cassella." --- Mr. O'Shea, the eminent banker of Madrid, has died after a few hours' illness. BANKROPTCY COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner PEany.) In re . JACKSON AND ElsTiktAx.—These bankrupts, who were brokers and commission agents in Liverpool, and also agents for the Galvvay line of packets, came up yesterday o n app li cat i on f or their certificates. Mr. Col lins appeared for the assignees, and assented to the appli cation. Hi s H onour, after inquiring the nature of the liabilities i n w hi c h t h e b an krupts, in connection with Mr. Lever, M.P., had become involved, and whic h, it appeared by their balance-sheet, amounted to £5,000, allowed theni certificates of the second class. In re RICHARD HORROCKS.—This bankrupt, a flour dealer in Great Homer-street. also came up on appli cation for his certificate, and was supported by Mr. Evans. Mr. Martin represented the official assignee, and Mr. Hostage, of Chester, appeared for an opposing creditor. Mr. Hostage examined the bankrupt and several witnesses, with the view of showing that the debt with his client had been contracted by fraud, and that the bankrupt had no intention of paying for the goods obtained ; he also examined him with reference to his books, which, it appeared, had not been properly kept. Mr. Evans, for the bankrupt, said he always agreed with the court that every trader ought to keep proper books, and so far could not defend his client's conduct; but with reference to the debt due to the opposing creditor, he contended that the examinations had not shown that the bankrupt had done anything but what was natural under the circumstances. Mr. Evans then criticised the evidence given by the different witnesses, and con cluded by asking the court for a certificate.—The Com missioner said that the absence of proper books was of itself sufficient to warrant a suspension of the certifi cate ; and that, taken in connection with the more serious objection urged by Mr. Hostage, which he con sidered proved, called for the further punishment of the court. The certificate must be suspended for six calendar months, and the bankrupt to be without pro tection for four months, the certificate, when grantetl, to be of the second class. WRESTLING MATCH. —A wrestling match came off yesterday, at Mr. Walkers' Strawberry Gardens, West herby - road . The winn er of the heav y weights was George Scott, and the light weights James Graham. The match was for two belts; the stirdnc was large, and the evening being fine the affa turned out very successful. CLAYTON-HALL : VOUSDEN'S FIN Atg.--Vousden finishes an unp.recedented engagement this day. Eight weeks for one Individual to sustain and increase in popu larity with the public, is rather astonishing. During the past week the house has been crowded to excess, and the people seem to have increased in their admira tion of his abilities as he proceeded. We know that many regret his departure, but it must be so for the present. The morning performance of to-day will ter minate,.for the present, the engagement at Clayton-hall, and we know that there will .be a bumper to bid him farewell. Guilt , BAZAAR IN ST. GEORGE'S-HA.LL.—The long expected bazaar, in aid of the Soho-street Industrial Ragged Schools, commences on Monday , and terminates on Wednesday next, and we have reason to believe it will be the most magnificent thing of the . kind which has ever taken place in the town. The co mmittee have been almost overwhelmed with contributions, and from the great number and high position of the ladies who will preside at the stalls, we have reason to hope that the bazaar will in every respect be a great success, and will contribute most materially to the utility of this most important institution. ANNUAL BALL OF THE leT LANCASHIRE RIFLE VOLUNTEERS.—One of the most successful and fashion able balls of last year was that of the first corps of Rifle Volunteers, and now that Lieut.-Colonel Bousficld (their captain) commands a battalion, the prestige of the ball will be greatly enhanced. It is announced td take place on Tuesday, the 13th November, Mrs. J. A. Tobin being the lady patroness. The committee includes all the commanding officers of corps, and they have exercised a sound discretion in the selection of honorary treasurer and secretary. THE REV. J. C. M. BELLEW.—The preacher at St. Ann's on to-morrow (Sunday), and his lectures at the Collegiate on Tuesday next—Who is he ? what is lie ? how shall I get to hear him ?—are three questions which many are asking. To the last, we refer to our adver tisements; to the two first we reply—Re is a Lancashire man, born in 1823, in Lancaster, of Irish mingled with Spanish descent. Mountain lakes and our northern scenery fostered in his mind a love of the beautiful, and nurtured in him a deep poetic feeling. Nature has done much, early training did more ; an eastern residence has confirmed, painstaking and self-cultivation have com pleted, a preacher and lecturer so eloquent and chaste, —that London churches, large and capacious, have been insufficient to accommodate the delighted crowds. Mr. Christmas, in his "Preachers and Preaching"' writes of Mr. Bellew as one of the greatest orators, since the days of Irving. A popular Hl3 sketch, comp ar i ng him with Mr. Spurgeon, depict him as the smooth, clear, flow ing, brilliant entrancer." We believe that neither Dr. Cumming, nor even Canon M 'Neile, ever draw larger practical proofs from the pockets of his audience than the Rev, John Clan:dal Monteequieu Bellew.

(Laughter.) This had been effected by sanaltting two very important words of the reso lution,ft which pist-t3 the addition of that section — the reaohitidn being that a ,section should be esta blished of comnierciaf and international la*: They chose to leave out two inip'o'rtairt Words; "Cortiniercial" and f law," in Order to . leave' the Word "international" standing naked and alone, and which no cleat might have been liable to the construction. that they sought to be a general agitating Political body all over the world —anything under the *OO international. (Laughter and applause.) It was very well . they did not charge them with having agitated a question of piracY, or robbery, or wholesale murder—(laughter mid applause —but they, having added the words " commercial' and " law," having added those. two words purposely, in order to avoid the 'possibility of such a ridiculous mis conception, those two words " commercial" and "law" for the purpose of showing it was on subjects of com merce and law, the internationality, if he might so speak; tarried. ,(Applause.) He ought to mention that they had there the presence —it Was naturally suggested to him by the addition of, this international section—they had there the presence of a very learned and excellent person, Dr. du Harrel, a niember of the Acade m y o f Science at St. Petersluirg, and who, he believed, would be as much astonished as his iiiiperial master would be, at their establishing a section for the pUrpoSe of political agitation all over the world—(e laugh)—because,. though the Russian empire had many very great qualities, and very many good qualities, and its Government had deserved great praise, infinite praise for what it had lately done and was still attempting, yet he believed there were few parts of the world where a political agitation would be less acceptable, less welcome than in the capital of St. Petersburg—(laughter and applause) —a general political agitation. But don't let him pass over mention of the Emperor of Russia and his coun sellors without once more, as he had already lately done, rendering his tribute of thanks for the great measure new in agitation, —not in agitation, but in process of execution, though under enormous difficulties, it could not be denied, which difficulties enhanced the merit of the Emperor and his counsellors the more,—he meant the great measure of emancipation to millions of the people. (Loud applause.) We did a very great service to humanity, and did very great honour to our name, by the emancipation of our slaves in the West Indies and our colonies, and by the enormous price, though not too great for so great a boon,—the enormous price of twenty millions which we 1 1 paid for that purpose ; but the difficulties of the Empe ror of Russia, in his case, were still greater than those which we had to contend with, and the numbers were incalculably greater, for according to the best accounts we had of it there were no fewer than two-and -twenty millions of serfs,—the whole labouring population of the country, and who were the property of the Crown,—and not more than 150,000 or 200,000 private people. Therefore it was impossible for him to make reference to the subject of Dr. du Hamel's presence and avoid expressing what all men, all .free men, felt upon the great merits of the Russian Government, not shutting their eyes to the enormous difficulties with which it had to contend, and which made one almost dread that till other and previous changes and reforms take place in the government and system of internal pOlity, it would be hardly possible to complete this great, good work. [Mr. Wm. Brown here interposed to ask permission to put on his hat, as there was a draught on the platform. Lord Brougham said—l shall require every body to be covered who has the least apprehension. (Applause.) I felt something of the same kind myself when I first came on.] His lordship continued—Now, there was one topic upon which he meant to enlarge, and which he had time and again recurred to since he came to Liverpool—he meant the great change which had taken place all over this country, and, he would add, all over Scotland also ; and he hoped to live to see the day when the change would extend to Ireland also, where it had only began to work at length—that was the abnegation of party feeling, and the general dis position to devote ourselves to the propagation of sound principles upon great measures of social iinprovement, and the encouragement of Government, of Parliament, of parties, of all the authorities in the county to under take and perpetuate those measures of social improvement —(applause)—and what he had said, both at Glasgow and elsewhere, against party principles and party — (he would not give them a bad name, because there was no occasion to say factions : faction was an abuse of party, but literally it was an abuse to which, party was so liable that it was very difficult to have one without the other) ; but he would say that party distinctions, party grounds, in com bination' and opposition, were diminishing. Now it had been said that party might produce very great good. and that the combination of men, agreeing in opinion upon the same principles and upon the same grounds,—that that combination might he pro ductive of most useful—not only most harmless, but most useful, controversy,—and he did not deny it, because the combination added strength and force to those who, having the same opinion, and actuated by the same principle, the same motive, and the same desire to accomplish the same measures, sought t o give effect to those principles, and to embody those opinions. He did not deny it ; but he believed also, that there might exist a temporary and occasional combination, and that men might unite who had the same opinions, and on the same principles, on certain subjects, without a general and universal assent, which. implies a slavish submission ; and always thus has . the effect, as it has the tendency to very often produce the effect of subjecting the many to the domination of the few. (Applause.) But upon measures of social science, with people who pretend to promote the improvement of mankind in general, or large bodies of mankind, by such measures, why might there not be a temporary and occasional union, with all the benefits of party, by giving power, force, and effect to that combination, and without those evils which party had a tendency to produce, and not only the tendency but the effect which in many cases it had. (Applause.) His lordship-then went on to explain at great length the force of habit upon mankind, and its religious effect ; but, at the same time, he expressed a hope that his right reverend friend (the Lord Bishop o f Chester) would excuse him for having trespassed on his profession, but he felt that it would materially assist him in the argument he had offered. He then said there had lately been held in the borough of Man , cheater a meeting of great importance. It was the annual assembly of the General Alliance for the Promo tion of Temprance amongst the People. (Hear, hear.) He had not been able to attend it, but from what he had heard of it, he wished it every possible success. (Cheers.) It was held for the purpose of forming a general union amongst all parties favourable to the temperance cause ; and if such a union could be carried out it would be most beneficial to all classes. It was suggested to modify the vie ws of the total abstainers, and he had no doubt hut that a great deal of good would arise from following out the views of those who suggested the alteration in the system that had pre viously been adopted, and it would have a most salutary effect. His lordship concluded, amidst much cheering, by saying that he should then call upon the several r gentlemen friendly to the inauguration of the associa tion, observing that he thought the association should have the general support of all classes of the corn munitY ; and that should suc h an association be formed, he had no doubt but that it would have the most bene ficial results, not alone upon the district, but it would be the means of diffusing information throughout the the district, and to the nation at large. (Applause.) The Lord BISHOP of CHESTER said the resolution he had to move had reference to the establishment of a local association, and in doing that it was necessary that they should have a council, and therefore he would move that the names of the following gentlemen be elected the council, but not to increase to more than twenty-four. Having named the committee, he said he had no doubt but that those gentlemen ,he bad named would be acceptable to all. There were some of them,. Mr. Melly, for instance, who was • well known to faMe, and he "did not think there would be a single objection to the president, Mr. Win. Brown. (A'pplause.) He hoped they would think that in appointing him as the president it would only be a well-timed mark of respect—(hear, hear,)—and a proper accompaniment to what had taken place on the previous day. His lordship had no doubt but that his (Mr. Brown's) heart was then full at what had taken place, but it would be a lasting remembrance to his name and the munificent bequest was one that could not be stirpaSsed in any country in the world; and he hoped that the noble-hearted donor would long be remembered in the hearts of the people, and he hoped he would live many years. He concluded by moving the adoption of the resolution. Mr. HASTINGS, General Secretary of the Association, rose to second the resolution. He felt sure that every one.who had attended the meetings of the association from year to year must have been convinced of the pro gress of the movement ; but far greater than this was the fact that the principles which originally led to the establishment of this society are now taking root in dif ferent parts of the country, and are producing fruits throughout England, Scotland, and, he trusted, in Ire land also. One of their in establishing the association was, that they might be able to obtain correct statistics of the population in different localities, of the improvement that had taken place in their condi tion, and to inquire into the best way in which they could be raised. The association had succeeded at Glas- gow, and at B' roofers, and at Thriningham ; but we must all feel that far more Valaftitte would be those facts which are furnished by permanet local associations existing from year to year. This, then, was the' object of, local associations; and he had no doubt that in filtnre we would receive most valuable reports from the Liverpool association relative to the condition of the several inhabit ants of the town. He considered that the great functions of this association were to collect facts and stimulate in quiry, It was supposed by many people that because the elOo'aation did not build schools and establish reformatories its Week sfal eearipeatetively unimportant; but this was not so.. They had tO edlletit fa* ttrid experiences, and with the aid of these facts and experieteeS Vide the individuals Oi 4 a g id in these philant topic' tifid benevolent oblects, If they asked what real work the sietheiation had done, 14 wd refer fo' the wile cemmittees, both Of which originate in this ,town: the first was the Quarantine Committee, and he would SaY that to the exertions of that committee during Me la'st two' years, aided by. the colonial and other foreign offices; they had obtained from the British consuls throughout the would a s record of the quarantine regulations in different parts of the 'otld.,of so valuable a, kind, that at the end of last session of Parliainient the p6ard of Trade moved for its being printed and presented to bOth Houses of Parliament. The other committee Vat • the one to enquire into the operation of Trades Unions. Up to the time when that committee was appointed, the sub ject of Trades Unions bad been one of the bitterest ani mosity; By means of the committee, however, the state- Metes 61 lipaltelpployers and employed were obtained, they will shortly be issued to the world in a large octavo book. He felt convinced that when the volume was read, whether the public aseietti with the convictions of the committee or not, they would at Teatt derive much benefit from the great amount of inforniattoti collected in the book, and it' would probably enable them to fi'dge with fairness and impartiality. It appeared to him that there were several subjects which a local association would dad it . worth their while to investigate. In the first place them was that subject, — so ably treated by Sir Eminerson Tennant in his address at Glasgow, We Peculiar position Which the Irish population ocCUM kti,glaiid: • .He had no doubt that they would have some day tin inipurtial report on the question. Then, again; there wds the subject of a more enlarged employment of weinenin intinstrialpiiratilts. He boned that subiect world be. taken up; and snore Worked out, and he was convinced that. the mote attention Was paid to the subject, the more' Cm would be the cOnvictle 'that there does exist a necessity, in this country for employing women more getletally than . has hitherto been the case. It was sometimes objected' to the extensive employment of female labour; that it wotild have the effect of overthrowing male labour. He did not believe this was so ; he would not advocate anys thing so unjust. The introduction of women into the printing trade, for instance, would not accomplish this; tot they could not—or ought not—to be employod for night work, or in the more laborious portions of the work. Ileither did he think that the indroduction of feinales into that department would at all have the effect of loStering the wages of the men. Considering the increase of all our indastrial pursuits, there was ample room for the eiripiossnlent of feniale labour. view was, that woman shotild tit . freely admitted to all pUrsults without prejudice against lief, or any favouritism on either side. - He would congratulate the local aSectelation in having fotrnd so' excellent a mart to All the post of secretary. I 1 r. Itathhone had worked with a devotion which tio math had exceeded. Ife.concluding by referring to Mr. Rathhote i s earnestness in the cause of social science. Lord BROUGHAM said he could confiten the opinion which the last speaker entertained of Mr. gatlibone. He then put the motion, which was carried by accla mation. WILLIAM BROWN, Esq., next addressed the meeting. e was received with great cordiality and enthusiasm. Pre said When his friend, Mr. Rathbone, and Mr. Hub back called it hini; requesting him to accept the pre sidency of the association, he told them that he really must decline, and' that at hie time of life he could not perform those duties which are of such importance to society in general ; but they were so' urgent and so pressing., that he Consented at last, provided they would permit him to have assistance in the duties of his office, and sit as a cipher in the chair to hear their deliberae tions. He did not feel less than any one now present the great importance of this Ideal Social Science Asso ciation in Liverpool. Still he then& that with Mr. Hubback and Mr. Rathbone to relieve him, he might fairly trust himself to his duties. It would have been better for some gentleman whose habits of life were not such as to interfere with the discharge of his duties, to have taken this position—the distinguished position of the president of the society. However, as he had accepted the position, so far as his health and time would permit, he would endeavour to do his duty by it. (Applause.) The CitAiltatAN said their excellent friend Mr. Brown had very judiciously taken a course which his lordship himself pursued in the ease of being an executor to William Lord Melbourne. Then he had no trouble except that his name was three of' four times in a Chancery snit,—(laughter)—but happily none of the the costs fell on bim. The Hon. ALGERNON EGERTON, M.P., was the next speaker. He said certainly this was a great port, and afforded great fields for inquiry. If he might be per mitted to refer to what fell from Lord Brougham at the close of the proceedings at the Amphitheatre, when he gave an account of his election experiences in Liverpool in 1812. lie would draw a. eofflparison between that time and the present. He found that the imports then numbered 400,000 tons. • Now, he believed, they amounted to five millions. The line of docks was then about one-third of what it is now. There was then no St. George's Hall, no Free Library, n o Colle g iate Institution,—and the efforts to improve the people s did not attract Much attention. (Hea r, hear.) Thi association aimed not only at an improvement in the dwelling's of the working classes, but also at the dissemi nation of right principles on important subjects. He alluded to the instruction given on board the Conway, and expressed a hope that similar institutions would flourish and be abundant. Referring to the evil of intemperance, he said that although not agreeing with everything that was said at the Alliance festival, there was no doubt the meeting wa s p roductive of great benefit. He concluded by moving a resolution to the effect that this great port, with its extensive population, affords a field for enquiry, and that the assistance of the female portion of the population be givea with this object. — The Rev. Mr. Howsoer, in seconding the motion, advert e d a t great length to the latter part of the resolu tion, viz., the elevation and the amelioration of women. In order to do so effectually, it was absolutely necessary to obtain the aid and help of woman herself. lie referred to associations on the Continent, founded for the purpose of watching over grown-up females, arguing that it was full time that similar institutions should be established in this country, to afford protection to unpro tected, friendless • females, in and out of service, with a view of ameliorating their condition, and elevating them in the social scale. The Lancashire Association, just established, was calculated to accomplish this. He enumerated its objects. They sought the to-operation • of all classes, women especially, in ascertaining and recording the daily life of various classes of the cora munity, and in devising measures for their protection, • amelioration, and elevation. He concluded by appealing for aid in the performance of this glorious work. Sir J. KAY SuurrLEIVOILTII was then requested to move the next resolution, which was to the effect that as the working classes were deeply interested in many of the problems which would occupy the a ttention of the association, that they be re q uested to co-operate, for the life &c., &c. He at some le n g th refuted the objections purpose of giving in formation as to their mode of which had been made against the Social Science Asso ciation by, as Lord Brougham said, "the ignorant and malevolent," and contended that they had been pro ductive of the grea test good ; and as illustrative of that, r e ferred to the Social Science meetings at Brad ford, where the employer and the employed had stood on on e platform, and had argued the g reat question of the causes of the strikes in the counties of Lancashire and. Yorkshire, when much valuable information was elicited on both sides, and a perfectly good understand ing prevailed ; and by such meetings and conferences the most important results had accrued, and had had a tendency 16 the settlement of that important question. Referring to the committee on strikes, he said that not only had several members of the committee personally investigated the facts which occurred in different parts of the country, but they had had before them for several days the masters, whom they had examined, and also the natives of the great mining districts, who were present in London asserting, for the first time, their claim to the protection of the law for their children from excessive labour. They had received information from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, part of Lancashire , an d other p laces also. This information would shortly be published, together with the report of the committee. This was an example of the operations of the society; this of itself would, he ' thought, be an answer to the ignorant and malevolent reports to which the society had been subjected. But ' this was only one thing. They had also had a discus sion on national education in Scotland. In the room on that occasion there were gentlemen of every variety of opinion, who spoke their sincere convictions in an open manner. The speaker went on to say the association did not belong to any party in politics or creed in reli gion. They believed there was such a thing as law ; they believed in the operation of Christ's law, and the natural intelligence of the working classes. After some further remarks to a similar effect, which were listened to with attention, The motion was then briefly seconded by Mr. William Rathbone Mr. D. GUILES, a working man, had much pleasure in supporting the resolution, as he believed that both the employer and the employed would be much benefitted by the working classes joining such associations, as the masters would become better acquainted with the habits and ways of the men, and the men would become more versed in the ways of the masters, and a better under standing. would spring up between them, which wa s a most desirable object to be attained. Sir J. Bownueo also addressed the meeting i n sup port of the motion. He referred to the great changes which had taken place since 1832, and went on to show how desirable it would be for the master and the men to be more closely united. He explained that there were on the Continent--for instance, France, &c. —con ferences held between the working men and their em ployers, and the result had been found to be most cheering in the settlement of disputes.—[Lord Brougham : 69 out of 70 are settled without going to law.]-11e assured them that those conferences were found, on the Continent, to be exceedingly beneficial, and he should like to see them fully carried out in this country. I n certain cases he recommended the employment of females in mechanical trades, such as watch making, Wood engraving, &c., which bad been so much adopted in foreign countries, and said that in some 'places the women earned as much as 7s. per day. He strongly urged a unity of exertio n between the em p lo y er and employed, and resumed his seat amidst much applause. I Mr. R. Sheil then moved a vote of thanks to the Directors of the Collegiate Institute, for the use of the hall on that occasion. The CHAIRMAN then said that there was one great object that should be achieved, if they wish to benefit !themselves, and that was, the ear l y closin g m ovement. (Hear, hear.) To do that they must set thei r faces against making purchases in th e evenin g . (Hear, hear.) Mr. G. ISIELLy seconded Mr. Shell's motion ; and in doing so, said that• he had always taken a deep interest in the association, and if the lo cal branch was ' ex pected to flourish, it must adopt the c ourse so successfull y pur sued by the parent association for the last five years, which was to exclude from discussion all matte rs of political or sectarian charact er. The motion was then put an d carried. fir. CHRISTOPHER BUSH ELL said he had been re quoted by the directors to a cknowledge the vot e thit t h ha ft ed d o j b u jsetebtseeonf thepas listened to the speechessseode.ietryH e was sure l s d ur a e gr th e a e t itt every sayingo ne thatwho temporal importaneo, iie lf lv t as he o g ni ea tonesis) of the empire was to be t 4 .6.. e l done by assigning each maintained; a scale.

He would heartily thank them for so . enthusiastically thanking. him. Hi s Lordship then referred to the great changes which have ' taken place since lie mins a candidate for this borough, in 1812; and related, ,Wild la4iter and applause, the now well-known anecdote of the slave captain, who endea vowed to raise a laugh' against his Lordship's principles on the Slave Question. D l r. Du HAMEL next addressed a few words to the meeting, stdting that he had' an invention which was now being tried, and which would be of great service to the poor man. The proceedings then terminated. - ----- THE MAYOR'S SOIREE CONCLUDING FETE TN HON OUR OF THE OPENING OF TRE NEW LIBRARY. Last night his Worship the Mayor (T. D. Anderson, Esq.) and Mrs. Anderson entertained' a: company of considerably upwards of a thousand ladies and gentle ' men at a soiree in the Town-hall as the concluding ' fe'tc in honour of the opening of the Free Library and Museutn. The party was invited to assemble at eight o'clock, after which hour the magnificent suite of apart ments in our municipal palace gradually became filled with a brilliant and crowded assembly of the elite of the town and distiidi, to an extent perhaps never equalled whether for re , 4nber,sr or effect, in the history of civic hospitality. The Mayor himself seemed to be every where to direct, to enliven; and to entertain his numerous guests. The alderrnent` were in no respect wanting in adding to the dignity aid conviviality of the occasion. Town councilors musteYe& plentifully and mingled cordially in the general throng: . The clergy of all ranks lent their countenance to tin' festi vity. The army and navy were amply represented f3s , many officers in full dress costume. The consuls and representatives of all quarters of the globe were there, decorated by all the symbols and paraphernalia of state, to testify their sense of the importance of the event which had assembled so many noble, so many illustrious, and so many distinguished in science, literature, and art, to do honour to the grand moral triumph of modern civilisation—the opening of William Brown's palace for the education of the people in general knowledge, and in all the useful arts of life. Pe irhaps the first impresssion produced on the majority of last night's guests, was the magnificent restoration and re-decoration of the municipal state apartments. We know of nothing finer than the high dome sur mounted grand staircase of the Town - hall. Whetr we look upon it in an architectural , artistic , or scenic point of view, we cannot fail to appreciate it as one of the finest vestibules in the world. To be appreciated it must be seen—description were futile. Entering the first drawing-room, and moving along towards the other two, the visitors could not fail to be im pressed with the vast improvement which has this year been effected in their appearance. Always imposing by their altitude and dimensions, they have now etchanged their former sombre hue, for one of of rare elegance, cheerfulness, and harmonious colouring. The smaller and the larger ballrooms have been corre spondingly improved under Mayor Anderson; and the dining-room surpasses anything of the kind we have ever seen, even in Windsor Palace. In addition to the apartments we have named, there were called into requi sition the coffee and refreshment room, and even the Council Chamber. Music was liberally supplied by splendid and efficient hands in the lobby and in the orchestra. The following is the programme of the instrumental concert in the large room : I. Overture " Fra Diavolo" Auber. 2. Selection..." Lucia di Lammermodr" Donizetti. 3. Shadow Song from " Dinorah" Meyerbeer. 4. Overture "Figaro" Mozart. 5. Sold---German Song' Storch. G. A. Wielopolski Phillips. . . 6, Selection ...... ..." II Trovatore" Verdi. 7. Reminiscence from " Lneine" Wallace. 8. March " Eroica" _ Gollmick. . __ _ 9. Overture "Lae des Wes" Auber. In the drawing-rooms the tables were covered by ancient manuscripts, by various illustrated works of science and art, and by microscopic, kaleidoscopic, and stereoscopic instruments. Presiding over the micros copes were Messrs. Hardman, Browne, Abraham. and Sanson. Over the manuscripts was Dr. Constantine Simonides, who exhibited some unique and highly inter esting relics. Among these we observed the earliest Christian manuscript in existence, written forty-eight years after Christ, being part of the 19th chapter of Matthew, and another of the 6th chapter of Acts ; l e tters of Hermippus to Herons Hephiestionides, of Alexandria, in the first century ; part of the Epistle of St. Jude in the fourth century ; and several other MS. of about the same date; Palimpset manu script, historical genealogy of the Kings of Egypt, writ ten by Uranius, in the third century, and a copy thereof prepared for publication by Dr. Simonides ; one of the earliest Greek manuscripts written on paper ; Egyptian theological work, in hieroglyphics, with Greek transla tion by Melambus, written on human (female) skin, first century before Christ ; earliest Byzantine paintings, Hymen, Bacchus, and Apollo ; a Greek poem by 2Eno pides, written on prepared human (female) skin, first century before Christ; the history of the 72 interpreters, first century; the tragedy of lEschylus, third century ; &c., &c. On the walls of the ballrooms were hung 284 .water-colour paintings, of the highest excellence iiieluding works by Roberts , Coo p er, Maclise, Ward, Herbert, Webster, Pickersgill, Lewis, Stanfield, Poole, Turner, Landseer, Stothard, Callcott, Collins, Payne, &c.. the whole of the drawings having been contributed for the occasion by the personal friends of the maven It is a pity that such a magnificent collection could not be laid open for public inspection for a few days. The refreshments provided were of the most elegantly sumptuous and yet substantial description— Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo Hotel, being the caterer. The dining-room was laid out with unsurpassable taste, and the tables were covered with every luxury, laid out in most appropriate style, and decorated with unequalled taste and effect, and the whole arrangements, if we except the ventilation of the apartment, were perfect. In a separate apartment were provided coffee, cakes, and ices. In the council-room a splendid baron of beef was carved, and generally patronised. Nothing was wanting to complete the comfort and happiness of the guests. Having thus briefly alluded to the enter tainment prepared, we wish we could do some measure of justice to the varied character of the select multitude who enjoyed. it. To see the venerable Lord Brougham, the philanthropic William Brown, and his worthy brother, to note one after another of the most esteemed and useful members of the com munity, moving about socially amid so much that• tended to elevate the mind and feelings, was no ordinary treat. Uniforms of every colour, adorned by stars, crosses, and badges of dazzling brilliance, gave variety and interest to the spectacle. But last, not least, the presence of so many of the fair sex in every descrip tion of toilette, adorned by every delightful com bination of colour and outline, heightened the charm and transformed what had else been a cold and formal display of stateliness, into a fascinating and fairy like scene. If Liverpool is under an inextinguishable debt of gratitude to William Brown, Esq., for his splen did gift, the inauguration of which gave worthy occasion for this splendid fete, the town is also under no small obligation to Thomas Darnley Anderson, Esq., for having so appropriately and efficiently done all due honour to the event by this civic feast—the concluding fete of the three days' ceremonial. COLONEL MACIVBR'S SPEECH AT THE LATE BANQUET. In our report of the proceedings on Thursday, space obliged us to condense the most of the speeches at the Banquet, and Colonel Maclver's amongst the rest. We have now pleasure in publishing a full and correct report of that speech. Colonel MAclvea (who was greeted with loud cheers) said :—Mr. Mayor, my lords, ladies. and gentlemen,-1 cannot but feel that it is a fiction in me, with so many friends before me, who know me as Mr. Maclver, to address you to to-night as Lieut.-Col. Maclver. But if you will allow me this evening to do so, I will tell you the chief reason why I came here to-night, and it was simply to do an act of justice to the Corporation. (Laughter, cheers, and some disapprobation.) I have been for the last week in whit I call, or the Ameri cans would call an undeniable fix. (Laughter and cheers.) In the absence of Lieut.-Colonel Bourne, who. I believe is in Paris, I became accidentally the senior field-officer of Liverpool, very much tb my surprise. (Laughter.) Then came the question of inviting the Volunteers to the banquet, 01, iu.other irorcle, the distribution of tickets. (Hear, hear, a few hisses, and cheers.) lam very sorry that strangers should be troubled with local u r‘tters; but there has been, and is now, a great deal of -:ositv outside prevailing , an d ori g inatin g in a mis „., (Hear, hear, cheers, and disapprobation.) As far take. o'l only it was a question with me as to back taking a part in this demo nstration. It was a simple with all my regard for Mr. Brown, not question whether, 'ociation and friendship, though he withstanding old ab. ' I know that t. •. m have had his— has my confidence, an nt as we could not pass. there was such an impen. e (Hear, hear, and interruption.. I be lieved, in my own intended . o bi? , b ,o snuffe , d mind, that the Volunteers were out by the Corporation. (Hear, anct cri w es ill hear Me llo on ' t ) , I hope the gentlemen who cry "no no , ' for I have not half done yet. (Loud cheerb, . - To resume .thefe had the thread of the discourse. (Hear, hear.) been but one volunteer in Liverpool , i t devolve, upon me to resent the affront, as the senior field officer, D.: that I should have done. (Hear, hear.) But, at twelve o'clock yesterday, a deputation waited upon me, and I found that, when I came to know the whole of the subject, that wherever blame lay, or whatever may have been the duties of the arrangement committee, there was certainly no blame in any shape or way attachable to them, and I came here to-night to say so. (Cheers, and some interruption, mingled with a few hisses.) You may all hiss if you please, but though there may be a difference of opinion as to whether I am capable of leading the volunteer forces, there is no difference in the mind of any man who knows me upon a question of fact. (Loud cheers). That is the fact. (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, I have done my part for what I call justice. One more word or two for the volunteers. (Cheers.) The volunteers, I hope, will remain as one of the institutions of the land. (Cheers.) Three things, however, I think, are necessary for that. (Hear, hear.) I hope that all the officers will exercise a sound discretion in keeping down ex pense—(loud cries of " Hear, hear")—and, in fact, as our time is our money, that we shall not tax the indus try of the country nor the energies of the country too much. (Cheers.) We can never pretend to be regular troops—(hear, hear) —we can pretend to do some things, such as was done during the revolutionary war in America. We have philosophers in Germany who tell us that the British volunteers are very well drilled, but that their officers are only soy ell Well, no doubt, that may be the case to an extent, but we will only learn in time. (Hear, bear.) As to the volunteers themselves, as a body, I believe that those German pY l ,l , :yra who speak in that way need not prophecy at all as to what we will do. (Cheering, and interruption, which prevented the gallent colonel proceeding for some time.) I thought. gentlemen, there was some disapprobation— if so, I will not defend the volunteers. (Cries of "Go on," cheers, and renewed interruption.) I really don't know what all this interruption is about (hear, hear); if there is any disapprobation, state, if you please, what it is. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have to say this, that the volunteers, I believe, will do their duty. (Loud cheers.) God grant the day may never come when they will be called upon, because that 'would he to suppose a very different scene from what we are witnessing at the pre sent. (Renewed cheering.) On Thursday night a ball was held at Mr. W. Clerc's Rooms, Renshaw-street, which was most respectably attended, several officers of the Mounted Rifles and other corps attending in full uniform. TESTIMONIAL TO WILLIAM BROWN, ESQ., BY THE CLERGY or LIVERPOOL. —We are glad to learn that it is intended to present to Mr. William Brown, a copy of the Bible and Book of Common Prayer, as a mark of the gratitude of the Clergy of Liverpool for his munifi cent gift to the town, and as an expression of their sympathy with his noble effort to benefit the working classes.

A num ber of the clergy have already subscrd t o wards the object, the list being the names headed by circular of the Archdeacon and the Rector • headed a has been sent to the whole of their number by the Rector, inviting the contribution of each. CORONER'S COURT. Yesterday the Coroner held the following inquests : CititßOTl OF MANSLAUGHTER. -On the body of William Evans, who was the manager at Mr. Roberts' public house, Commas-hill. He was 38 years of age. On-Sunday night last, a War named George Simpson, his wife and sister, were in! the house, and called for drink, but deceased refused to supply them as they had no money. Simpson's wife then called the deceased some bad names, and a row, in which severs/ persons were engaged, followed; the deceased requested them to go out, when George Simpson seized a kettle of boil ing water that was on the counter, and flung it with great violence at deceased, and hit him on the head and knocked him down, and the hot water went all over his face, The deceased did not give any provocation to Simpson. Several witnesses were examined and proved the above facts in detail. Surgeon Shaine was examined, and said he attended deceased, and found a severe wound on his head, and he was dreadfully scalded all over the face. He died from exhaustion and deli riuM tremens, caused' by the shock to the nervous system induced by the severe scald. The Coroner summed up ale evidence, and left it to the Jury to say whether it was a case of manslaughter. The Jury found a verdict of Manslaughter against Simpson, and the Coroner issued his warrant for his committal. The man is at present in custody of the police on the charge, but he was not present ; but he will be brought before the magistrates on this day. On the body of William Kithkelly, a sailor, 60 years of age, who lodged at 27, Kent-street. He was nearly always drunk since September last, when he came from Spain, and it appeared that he died from excessive drinking. Verdict accordingly. On the body of Isaac Forsyth, master of the flat Gipsey, He was 30 years of age, and it appeared that on Tuesday night, whilst he was going on board his flat, at the Stanley' Dock, he fell into the water and was drowned, although every exertion was made to save him. Verdict, accidental death. On the body of a child, four and a .half years old, named William Ankinstall, the son of a miller living in a court off Elenbeim-street. On Thursday morning the clothes of the child took fire, and he was so badly burnt that he died in consequence of the injuries received. Verdict accordingly. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.—YSTERbAY (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) SERIOUS CHARGE. Thomas and Ellen Cummings, man and wife, were charged with having committed a violent assault on a Mrs. Cogins, in Warwick-street, Park. It appeared that the woman (who is not able to attend) and some friends were in a public-house in the Park, about a week since, and the - Prisoner (who is a plasterer) was there also. They had some drink, when the female prisoner came in, and she took some offence at seeing her husband in the company of the other women. Angry words took place, and then the injured woman and the female prisoner commenced striking each other. Thd man then joined his wife, and both attacked Mrs. Cogins, knocked her down, and kicked her. The result of the beating was that sho had been prematurely con fined, and lies in a dangerous site at present. A medical certificate of the state in which Mrs. Cogins at present lies was put in, and it appeared froth. that document that she is in considerable danger. Mr. Parker (for the prisoners) called a witness to disprove the case, but the evidence made the case rather worse, and the prisoners were remanded. • A COMPLIMENT TO PRINCE ALBERT! A young man named George Spencer, was brought up by Detective-officer Rigby, on a charge of having attempted to pick pockets, on Thursday, in the streets, at the time of the procession. The officer swore positively that he saw the prisoner on two occasions distinctly put his hand into the pockets of two ladies, but did not succeed in getting anything, and then he arrested him. In reply to Mr. Bluck, who appeared for the prisoner, the officer persisted in his statement, and that he could not have been mistaken in the prisoner. Mr. Bluck said the prisoner was a most respectable young man, and had served his apprentice ship to Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, and Co., enoineers, and had worked for the firm since that time. He bore a most excellent, character, and he would prove it, and then ask his Worship, would it be likely that such a per son would all a a sudden drop into the crime of picking pockets in the streets in the open day. A gentleman, *he said he was one of the firm of Fawcett, Preston, and Co., said the young man served his time there, and was one of the best young men they ever bad. He was an example to all the other boys, and bore an excellent character. Mr. Bluck : Do you think it likely he would pick pockets in the street ?—Not at all ; and I don't believe he ever did such a thing. Two foremen engine fitters, who are in the employment of the firm for over thirty years, gave the prisoner a very high character; and Mr. Bluck asked one of them, Do you think it is likely the prisoner would pick pockets in the streets ? Wit ness (emphatically) : No ; I think Prince Albert would do it as soon'--or is just more likely to do it. (Laughter.) The time-keeper at Messrs. Fawcett's proved that the prisoner was an excellent youth whilst an apprentice, and a model for all the boys in the employment ; and since he was out of his time he was most punctual in kis time, and bore the highest character. He believed it quite impossible that be would do as the offi. - ier described. His Worship called the officer again, and he swore he could not be mistaken. Mr. Raffl es said he had a doubt about the ca s e and would discharge the young man. He was, therefore, DISCH ARGING I.ITREARMS IN THE STREETS. discharged. CAUTION T o BOYS AND OTHERS. A half-black coloured boy , named Isaac Sharman, was charged with haying discharged a pistol or small TomilSon and James Brown, Thse latter is in hospital, cannon in Shaw's Brow, whest: b y he w ou n ded William in a very b a d s t a t e , and Mr. Kehoe said the doctor had hardly a n y h o p e o f hi s recover y, very danger ously wounded in the neck. The o ther _ 11,, 1 was severely wounded in the arm. It appea re d that i.he , this tdhieehaconducted a of pistol any t y o lo discharging a piece firearms o f wounded ne the two boys. Mr. Raffles highly prisoner det,Jecated an fa a . on any occasion, and was ..` surprised that ma.. more injury had not been on done , in consequence of tit dangerous practice, on Thursday. On all future owl , police to arrest a n y one found dis charging firearms in the streets, and he would punish them. He hoped this would be a warning to all per sons, and prevent them from pursuing such a dangerous practice. The prisoner was remanded. ANNE KENNEDY'S P A wild looking female, OW DER HORN! named Anne Kennedy, was charged by police-officer 57 under the following circum stances : The constable said, at twelve the previous night, he heard a great noise in Oriel-street, and on going forward he saw the p • risoner break some windows in a cellar, and then kick in that barrier, got n the door, and she having smashed into the cellar. He looked in and saw her strikino. tin canister.. Her matches and applying them to a large from him,husband caught her, but she got away tried the matches at the canister again. Her husband roared loudly for assistance, and at last the officer got in and found the woman trying to put a match into a tin case that contained about two pounds of powder, and, had she succeeded, the h into the house would have been blown air. He thought it his duty to arrest her for the pres erva ti on of herself and the house. Th e p ow der was detained, and the woman discharged with a caution. THE. PROCESSION ON THURSDAY. An immense number of persons, male and female, were brought u p, c h ar ged with being drunk and disorderly on Thursday and Thursday night. In every instance the excuse was the procession and the free library. Several persons said they could not help getting drunk, and others alleged that they got drunk on pur- Rese,--in fact, as a matter of course, in order to celebrate the event. In many cases, where the parties were not particularly outrageous, they were discharged ; and in other cases, fines of 2s. 6d. to 10s. were imposed, according to the circumstances of the cases. (Before Messrs. MILLS and HOUGHTON.) PUBLICANS' AND BEER-RW.3'SE CASES.—Thos. Brown, publican, Scotland-road, was charged with selling spirits and beer at hours prohibited by law.

Dismissed.—Emma Giles, pub- Haan, Fitzakerly-street, *as charged with doing business at twenty minutes to eleven, on Sunday morning last.

His wife states that she slept so soundly she did not hear any noise during the night. An inquest will be held on the body this day. THE DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT AGAINST AN INSURANCE AGENT. Yesterday morning, at the Police-court, before Mr. Raffles, Mr. Palgrave, solicitor, on the part of the Pru dential Life Insurance Company of London, applied for a warrant to arrest the agent of the company in Liver pool, on a charge of embezzlement. From his state ments, and the evidence of the secretary from London, it appeared that the name of the agent in Liverpool is David Evans, and that there was a branch of the society for tradesmen and artizans here, and that there w ere upwards of 10,000 policy holders in Liverpool. From some circumstances that took place, the secretary from London came down here and examined the accounts. It appeared that in one case the agent here h a d furnished his account up to the 30th July. Thi s was furnished in September, and he stated in that account that a certain policy had lapsed previous to that date (the 30th July). On investigation this turned , oist to be untrue, for the secretary went to the policy holder, and the latter produced his book, which showed that the policy had not lapsed, and that he had made three ' payments to Evans, on account of the policy, since the time it was stated the policy had lapsed. The secretary produced the receipts, which he stated were in the handwriting of Evans, and added that he did not know the extent of the embezzlement, as the society's opera tions were so large hi Liverpool. Mr. Raffles said enough had been shown tG induce him to grant the war rant for the arrest of Evans, and the warrant was granted accordingly, BANKRUPTS. Thomas Myott, grocer, Manchester.
