NEWS, We are still singularly deficient of any, satisfac tory intelligence as to the actual position of affairs in Sicily. The dreadful filibuster is routed every hot* in the r;Tealiolitari official cle§paOles; Whilst 'tile Edens of thti insurrectionary- movement appear also to be a little given to exaggeration..' Taking, however, the general tenor of the , various despatches received, and the probabilities of the case, we are forced to conclude that Gari baldi actually delivered his assault upon Palermo on the 27th ; that the movement was aided by a popular rising within the walls I that the insur gent party-had actually effected a footing in the' place ; bit that the itqai troops, having retired 1.6 the idr i tieges, Which both defend and overawe ilia city, a bombardment by sea and land had taken place, and was proceeding at the last accounts. General Lanza, it is . said, has orders to destroy Palerino in case he cannot hold. it; and Garibaldi is said to be singularly deficient in artillery. The Sardiniatk Chaniber of Deputies, as we raiticipated, have approved the treaty of the cession of Savoy . and Nice by an immense majority. The numbers were 229 against 33, whilst 23 members abstained from voting. The speech of M. Fould, the French Minister of State, in which he claims such pacifid inten tions for his royal master; is nitwit Otitiassed in the diiereni journals. "It is kind of the Emperor," says the Times, "to set M. Fould to assure us there is nothing to fear. The Emperor is too loyal a neighbour and too faithful an ally to menace the rights of others. His moderation in the past is a certain guarantee for the future. So M. Fould says, and as M. Fould is a Minister of State, and speaks from authority, surely we. May go to Sleep iii peace. Why should Prus sia be uneasy and Belgium apprehensive ? Why should England be silently and, we may add, mournfully assuming an attitude of preparation for some tremendous effort ? Why should all the- populations that lie round France be at this moment suffering every evil of war except that one evil of bloodshed P" This is keen irony. ln spite of the,fairest words, a feeling of general d; trust as td the designs of the French Emperor everywhere prevails. His Majesty, it appears, borrowing an idea from the success of tne - Voluhteer movement, in England, which we have no doubt he has attentively studied, is about to introduce the voluntary element in respect to admissions into the Iniperial athirci. Warlike arrangements, however, by rid nieEiris occupy the sole attention of the Emperor ; arid the great works of public improvement which he is pro moting in various parts of France are on a co lossal scale. Excluding the immense works which had been undertaken by his directions, in almost every quarter of Paris, there may be mentioned the execution of that wondrous Rue de Noailles, at Marseilles, uhicli hag long been sPoteti of as the eighth wonder of the world—the construction of a double line of streets at Rouen, valued at 30,000,000 f.—the Rue de l'lmperatrice; at Lyons— the Iniilding of at entire city for the working poPulatiori dt Lille, tijimi the site of, the ancient fortifications of the place, just demolished—the extension and embellishment of Havre—and the increasing by more than half in number the streets of Bayonne) r:ecordirig to the idea emitted by the Emperor last summer. The execution of these great works increases his popularity with the masses, and the general public too gladly forgot that in the long run they will have to pay, by their own impoverishment, for all the gaudy :grandeur, Russia for a tinie is believed .to have become ttinre MOderite in her views respebting Turkey, from the coldness with which her appeal was received by most of the courts of Europe; and a new circular from.Gortschakoff has occupied the entire speculations of the different embassies of Paris during the last few days. The official journal of St. Petersburg contradicts the reports that Russian troops have been assembled on the Truth, Or that transports have been collected at Nicolaieff. Whatever the. designs of Russia may be, there is reason to fear that France is not an unwilling party to them, and we do not wonder that the speech of the new French ambassador 'at Constantinople should have greatly alarmed the French merchants in Turkey. Assuming the prophetic,—" beware," he addressed them, "of entering into any great speculations —more I am not able to say to you." The Sultan continues seriously ill, and affairs wear certainly a most unsettled aspect. Louis Napoleon appears to be 'viewed with the same distrust in every quarter of the world. it is very hard that nobody will anywhere give him perfect credit for sincerity. One or ,two Hong Kong journals express a suspicion that the Chinese Government, while rejecting the British • ultimatum, has assented to-the demands of France with a view to divide the two West - ern PoWers: They assert, too, that the Canton authorities have recently paid the Freneh $2,000,000 under .the provisions of the Treaty of:ben-Ulu, and seem to think that the French will take no further part in the operations against Pekin. It is probable, however,,that these aatementsare groundless. The lesson taught to the authorities by the late mutiny in India seems to be, that the " religious" prejudices of the natives are to be treated more tenderly than ever. The Supreme Government in that country has published an insulting notifi cation, said to have been based on instructions from the Secretary of State for India, that no clergyman is to be appointed an inspector of schools; while no one who is, or has been, a mis sionary-: is eligible for any appointment in the educational department. We are devoid of domeStic news of any striking interest. The commercial treaty..with France, as. its details come• into operation, appears to dis appoint those who at first were most . warmly : in its favour; and even in free-trade Manchester; a meeting of silk manufacturers has been held, to coniider the a*k*ard bearing which it has upon their trade. As French silks are admitted here free, they make the natural request that their own goods should . enter France in like manner, while - tut the imposition of . a duty. A deputation was appointed to go to Paris, and see the Emperor Upon the subject. . The threatened renewal of the builders'stiike in London; in favour of a curtailment of the da.y's labour, has given rise to a very sensible sugges tion of paynient by the hour. It is the best and justest system, in respect to every trade, And its general adoption would diminish by one•half 'the disputes perpetually arising between employers and employed. .An hour .is a fixed - and definite period; but who can tell exactly what a day's. work ought to be? That varies with local cus- toms, and is influenced entirely by circumstances. A riot having occurred amongst some militia stationed at 'the small town of Hamilton, near Glasgow, the volunteers were called out to sup press the disturbance, the authorities; in the . , absence of the regular military, being glad of their assistance. Captain Blakely, who, it will be remernbered, recently made some experiments at Southport with rifled cannon of his invention, has - Sent a letter to the Times, in which he challenges Mr. Whitworth to a trial of range between their respective guns at different elevations up to five degrees. He says he has' prepared 'a cannon which he wishes to place in competition with Mr. Whitwortl:Os 801 b. gun, which has therepu tation of being the best in existence. The weight of his thin gun he states td 13e Only about 48 cwt. .

THE present parliamentary session may be likened to a Melo-di-anta of three acts, which has already progreskd td the cidie df the ieeond,— the opening of the third and concluding act being now anxiously looked for at the expiry of the usual Whitsuntide. - recess. The first and second acts, separated by the interval of the Easter recess, have been 'characterised by many reverses of fortune to the principal characters, and the interest of the drama has been main tained by many thrilling events and most inte reititig iitaatietis: While waiting of the parliamentary drop-scene let us briefly review the story of the session, so far as it has gone, and glance at the relative position of parties, at the recent adjournment. Parliament assembled, an.l the play opened, in January last, with a Confident feeling of strength on the part of the Conservatives. With a certain niajoritY id the ifotise or Lords; add a probable majority of perhaps a dozen ,in,,the,ilouseof Cominons, Lord DERBY'S party indulged in .the pleasant conViction,. that even in Opposition a bright prospect lay before them. lithey did not carry everything befornthem, they might at least safely calculate on possessing numerical power siifficiedt to •conipel- the Whilpßadica GdveiriM.erit td pay; on all Occasions; and in the preparation and prosecution of all their tridaetires; the most respectful deference to the wishes of the great Conservative party. But alas! the scene rapidly changed, and confidence and hope were, momentarily 'shaken and-blasted.' The f•ride (if power seemed to forsake them, and, in apparently helpless prostration, they were left by the umphant. Radicals to chew the cud .of bitter. • • reflections. In a seeminglylicipelessi minority, they found . themselves ' . parelyzed by the sudden reverse of fortiine—an astonishment to them selves, and objects of derision to their opponents. The country and the press shouted for the suc cessful party. The Manchester Radicals flapped their wings and crowed lustily, for . lo ! and behold, by an unexpected turn of'events, Cotton Statesmanship Was in the iscendatif.. Those obsdlete "tOries 4 had Icidt . till Chance of distruet ing their anarchical schemes ; and'tition the place hunting and threadbare Whig-Radicals there dolt beamed the glorious anticipation .of. long andUninterrupted lease of seats on - the Treasury benchei. A feeling of discomfiture among the Conser vatives produced many and varied surmises and suggeStieriS as to the cause of the misfortune, and as to the best and Most likely rnearis of repairing the disaster and regaining lost lio*er . ; Some proclaimed that another DEMOSTHENES had arisen among the Whigs, and that the irresistible eloquence of the CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHE QUER was enough to account for the catastrophe.. Others broadly hinted that the defective tactics of the Conservaiiite leaders had been fatal to the cause. Mr. bisRAELT himself has Irltai fhli and happily described the true origin of such an abnormal state of confusion among politicians and statesmen, as neither more nor less than a fit of temporai, 'hut wild and uncontrollable, excitement—it all originated in the delirium of the Treaty." Throughout the remainder of the first, and into the opening of the second acts of this session, the opposition; guided by the most patriotic motives, declined to run the risk of attempting to embar rass the Goverdnierit id the p'reserit cordition of Europe. The treaty was not quashed, and even the monster budget was accepted—but only upon receiving from Ministers their most solemn assurance; given at their utmost peril, that their relations with France virere of the most friendly nature ; and that there was nothirig known to them, on the European horizon, that could induce us, to look upon the treaty in any other light than that of a great practical demonstration of the amicable intentions of the Emperor of French towards this country. The Cabinet announced to the world that such was the only fair and justifi able construction to be put upon our communica tions with the French Government. Any attempt, therefore, by the Conservatives to oust the Ministry or to reject the Treaty, and its consequent, the monster Budget, could only have beedrepresented as giving the lie direct to the official assertions of of the Foreign Secretary and his coadjutors—a responsibility from which any party might well shrink. Opposition, in these circumstances, would have exposed its leaders to the charge of desiring to offend France, and to effect a disruption of peaceful relations with a powerful neighbour and ally. However sceptical most good Conservatives. may have been as to the truth of those Ministerial assertions, coming through so incompetent a diplo matist as our quondam plenipotentiary to Vienna and present Foreign Secretary, it would have been an act of useless daring, in the circum stances,. to have entered Upon a factious and obstructive course of opposition. The Whigs in opposition might not have hesitated to do so. The Conservatives, however, were actuated by more patriotic and cotistitutional motives; and, satisfied of the justice of their cause and never doubting the ultimate triumph of their principles, they were content to watch the pr4ress of the great political drama, and to bide their time." The Government seemed to be intrenched in perfect safetyos the second act approached its climax—when suddenly the bubble burst, amid a great storm of thunder and lightening. The descentlinc . torrents of rain, however, left the horizon clear, and " the delirium of the treaty" is followed by the triumph of Conservative . . principles : As"the drop-scene fell, - there might he seen the dismayed conspirators skulking off in all diroctions; ; in. Most admired disorder, perplexed with fear and confounded by, a sense of shame; while the : Conservatives remained triumphant Masters of the situation. So has ended the second act: We aCtait. the Openirig of the third, and anxiOusli calcUlate what may be its probable renouement. It is universally felt that a Conservative reac- ton had set in. The returning and rapidly strengthening Conservative feeling of Parliament has been displayed in all the leading discussions Of the sess . ion, and in the divisions which have fol lowed them. The gradual discovery of the blun dering mistakes of the Ministry, in the Foreign office, and in the . Exchequer, to say nothing of their miserable " little Reform Bill," has led to a corresponding .diminution of the Ministerial Majorities. The Minister reputedly " transcen dant" in oratory, has been found to be more than transcendental in finance ; and his greatest skill has been manifested in the facility with which •he can say one thing at one time, and flatly contradict it at another, when personal or party convenience may require it. By offering no oppo sition to the second reading of the " little bill," the Conservatives have most effectually expoked it to Universal derision: The result of the debate on the Paper Duty Bill is the latest triumph of the Conservative policy in the present session ; and it has doubtless inspired a fresh vigour into the hearts of those who, for a time, could not but feel greatly disappointed. What may be the next great event in this political drama, time only can unfold.. One thing, however, is certain, that the revival and re-assertion of 'a sound and liberal Conservative policy is a great fact, for which our warmest thanks, as a nation, are due to Lord DERBY,---a fact which will every day shew itself to be of growing importance % and which is, of itself, sufficient to rescue this 1:el/fat:liable session from the undesirable pre-eminence it seemed, at one tune, most likely to acquire, to use the words of the Lord President of the Council, as " the year of immortal smash." OBSEQUIES. OF THE LATE MR. JOHN BARON, THIS DAY. The funeral solemnities of the late Mr. John Baron will be performed this day. His earthly 'reelable' *4il_l he interred in the family vault, at St. James's Cemeiek. The late Mr. Baron had long maintilifed a high position in this great commercial community, as one of the most extensive and successful brokers in Liverpool. In_ an age unfortunately characterised by the too frequent occurrence of cases of commercial dishonesty and financial mismanage ment, we can ill afford to spare a man whose high principled integrity and scrupulously honour able dealing, had gained for him the warmest esteem and admiration of his citirens. Few men, indeed, in this respect, have attained an equally enviable position. Mr. John Baron was an unostentatious, but a most worthy and invaluable member of society ; and all that is mortal of him will, thii day, be followed to the grave amid feel ings of universal regret for his loss to the town and trade of Liverpool, and of the deepest sym pathy- for his sorrowing wife and family under their painful and irreparable bereavement.

SARDINIA. TURIN, May 29. In the Chamber of Deputies, after the adoption of the treaty of cession, Signor Ratazzi rose to demand explanations of Count Cavour, who, in reply, expressed his regret at having been com pelled to say very delicate things, but the respon sibility attached to his remarks upon the question must rest with Signor Ratazzi. Count Cavour further said, we have no guarantees from France in favour of the annexed provinces of Italy, as we have not asked for any. We have considered the declarations of France that she would ensure a policy of non-intervention on the part of the Foreign Powers to be sufficient. France has not exercised the least pressure respecting the auto nomy of Tuscany. She has limited herself to simple non-official diplomatic conversations, in which we have declared that the autonomy of Tuscany must disappear. To this France has not made the least objection. The following is a summary of Signor Ratazzi's speech in the Chamber of Deputies :—Signor ;Ratazzi said that he inust.again demand whether ' it was not owing to the counsels of France that the autonomy of Tuscany had been granted. Relative to the treaty, he said also, I am a parti san of the French alliance, but to make this alliance the cession of Savoy sufficed. At the same time, I believe that the cession of two pro vinces, instead of strengthening the alliance and causing the Emperor to guarantee to us the annexation of Central Italy, will have a contrary result or none at all. Signor Ratazzi concluded by saying, we may be asked, at a future time, to make fresh territorial sacrifices, and it is to pro test against such a system that I abstain from votirg. TURIN, May 29, 6.30 p.m. • The Chamber of Deputies has approved the treaty of the cession of Savoy and Nice, by 229 against 33 votes. Twenty-three members ab stained from voting. THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY. Various telegranis from Naples, headed official, all announce the defeat and retreat of Garibaldi. The Times (ides not place any reliance on them, as sufficient time has now elapsed to show that these official despatches are sheer fabrications. The following is the latest intelligence received by the Timcs from au authentic source : PARIS, May 29. A second telegram from Naples announces a popular rising at Palermo, and an attempted bombardment by sea and land by the Neapolitan troops. The entrance of Garibaldi into Palermo was expected. The above is confirmed by a despatch published in the Turin official Gazette of to-day. It is stated in the French papers that as soon as Palermo shall have fallen into the power of the insurgents, a dictatorial decree will declare the country to be annexed to the new Italian King ' dom, subject to the ratification of the Sicilian people by universal suffrage. At the same time a provisional government., composed of 15 members, chosen aniong the principal persons of Sicily, will be established, and remain permanently sitting under the presidentship of Garibaldi, who, in his quality of dictator, will exercise the functions of chief of the executive power. This combina tion will give a regular and energetic direction to the insurrection. PARIS, May 30. The Pays publishes a despatch, dated Naples, May 29th, confirming the entry of Garibaldi into Palermo, and the continuation of the bom bardment by the citadel and the fleet. ROME. The Minister of War at Rome has adopted the competitive system of examination for the admis sion of officers into the artillery. THE EASTERN QUESTION. The Paris correspondent of the Tinzcs says it seems likely that the European Powers will have to turn their attention once more to the Eastern question, which the treaty of P . aris failed to settle. It is known that a modification of that treaty is the earnest desire of Russia; and it is supposed that it is with a view to satisfy that wish that efforts ere making to assemble another con gress, and probably to carry out the , objects contained in the written engagements between France and Russia, half avowed by Russia, and not disavowed by France. Russia seems to be cast- , ing once more a longing eye to the East, and the Emperor of the French has not concealed his opinion of the hopelessness of restoring the " sick man." TURIat MARSEILLES, May 30, Letters from Constantinople confirm the illness of the Sultan. The Sultan's brother was confined in the seraglio. A reactionary plot in his favour has been discovered. The speech of the new French ambassador at Cctnstantinople has greatly alarmed the French merchants in Turkey. He said—" Beware of entering into any great speculations. More lam not able to say to you." THE BRAZIL MAIL. RIO JANEIRO, May 8, There is no political news. The Chambers are not yet open, owing to a sufficient number of deputies not having yet arrived.

Referring to Lord Derby's evidence, it is stated that it was given without having the necessary documents before him, for arriving at a correct conclusion on the Galway contract, and as a consequence, this country is now supporting a line in rivalry with one subsidied by Canada. SHOCKING MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. A shocking murder took place at Washington, Sussex, on Monday evening, Mr. Samuel Rowland, landlord of the Star Inn, at Ashington, and who was well known and much resfietted in the surrounding locality, having been shot dead by Ater DUcteney, a man who rented a cottage and some land at Washington. Immediately after committing the horrid act, the murderer attempted to hang himself in a plantation which adjoins his house, but • he was discovered and cut down before life was extinct, and is now in the custody of the authorities at Steyning. Mr. Rowland must have used some expression to exasperate Dudeney, who shot him dead upon the spot. THE VOLUNTEERS CALLED OUT.-THEIR FIRST SERVICE. A military riot has taken place at Hamilton, near Glasgow, owing to the refusal of the West York Rifles (who are station6l in that town) to permit the arrest of some of their comrades, by the police, upon a charge of a very serious nature. On 6 of the accused was forcibly rescued three times, and some of the constables were entirely disabled ; the officers in command appearing, for the time, to have no control over the men. Two companies of volunteer riflemen belonging to the town were ordered out under arms on Sunday, by Sheriff Alison, and remained on duty all night. The accused privates in the York Rifles, having been ultimately apprehended, have been sent to Glasg ow. that a military inquiry will be instituted. It is stated THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE ON THE VOLUNTEERS• On Tuesday night, at the banquet of the Grocers' Company, in London, the Duke of Cambridge, speak ing of the volu nteer organisation, said :—That move ment, if wisely and judiciously conducted, would prove of the utmost value. Ho trusted that that movement would not be an evanescent one; but that it would ba kept up, so that the great exertions and great expense t o the people of this country would not he throwna w,-ay. lie had no doubt that if the services of the volunteers were ever required, they would prove most valu a bl e au xiliaries to the regular force.lie trusted, however, that their services never would be required. In respect to his observations on the conduct of military affairs, he hoped they would sink into the mind not only of those who heard him, but that they might find an echo in every part of this great empire. (Hear.) Pullinger, it appears, operated largely on the turf. • The prevalence of Ribbonism is becoming again apparent in Ireland. PRICE OF PAPER.—The Irish paper makers have signified their intention of raising the price of paper from the Ist of June. They say they waited to the pre sent iu the hope that the repeal of the duty would enable them to do so at less inconvenience to their customers. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

SINGER'S SEWING M2icniNE.—Prominent among tan inventions of the age stands the machine, of Americ an origin, which promises soon to supersede the tedious process of the needle and thread. Those to wheel the palm is usually awarded are produced from the works ° f Messrs. I. M. Singer and Co., New York, whose age nt in Liverpool is Mr. F. T. Blakey, 6, Elliott-street. They are all constructed on the same principle, but differ in detail according to the quality and thickness ° f the texture they are to operate upon. The work pro duced by them is superior to that by the hand, it also excels in point of durability and neatness, all altogether the machine is calculated to economise time with superior advantages in other respects. TREAT TO WORKPEOrLE.—On Tuesday last the work men in the employ of John Hamilton, jun., Esq., ° ,, f the Windsor Foundry, Edge-hill, numbering 180, left Liverpool between eleven and twelve o'clock in onini buses and other vehicles, for Prescot.

We may remark that 84 of the number ate formed into a company of volunteer artil lery, forming the 7th company of the first b ri g ade. They are clothed and equipped solely at the expense 'ef their employer. After dinner they repaired, headed bY their drum and fife band, to the Present Cricket Club ground. Here they enjoyed themselves for several hou rs ;in games and racine-, fun and amusement, &c. 111° whole returned to Liverpool soon after eight o'clock the saute conveyances. A FORTUNATE CA.PTI.-RE.— A young Irishwomal l, named Matilda Murphy, was brought up at the Maty chester Police-court, on Monday morning, charged bY Mr. Hayes, re;ieving officer, with having deserted he r infant, only 13 days old. The prisoner came from Bel mullet, in Ireland, about four months ago, and afte r spending some time in Liverpool came to Manchester, and there her child was born about a fortnight sr' its father being said to be a married man residi o in Belmullet, who. assisted her to leave Ireland, a nd subsequently supplied her with sundry small 0 1115 of money. On Friday se gave her child to a wornl ' ll named Downs, and arranged litith her to take it to the workhouse, in New Bridge-street', giving her 4s. 6d. 36 payment for her trouble, while she herself took the seven o'clock train to Liverpool, where she- expected t°'‘ find a post-office order from Belmullet to pay the cost her journey back again to him. The woman Dovr °fr finding the doors of the workhouse were not o pened her so readily as she expected, went to the police. gr: M'Hugh was sent to apprehend Murphy before she goy on board the Dublin packet (by which it 'O . expected she would sail), Downs accompanY i l him to identify her. The whole of the f eral f population of Ludgate-street, Angel Meadow, ',./1 which they lodged, were up in arms agains t both Murphy and Downs, and any of them would have g° °6 down to assist in the capture. M`Hugh got to Lice ( ' pool, traced out the lodging the woman had occupied t" night before, ascertained that she had there receicea Post-office order for £l, and had got it cashed, but (4 0 he was half-an-hour too late. He hurried to °le Clarence Dock, and captured Murphy just as she 1736 ' about to enter the Sligo boat. In five minutes more O le would have been safe from pursuit, and the workb o ' authorities might have had to keep her unfortunate obi' for twelve or fourteen years, while she was living irt f Ireland. The magistrates regarded the case as one °, such extreme heartlessness that, without hesitation , t he ' committed the woman to prison for three' mont 10 • .Ifairehester Guardian. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF GALLANTRY '1 SEA. Yesterday morning a special meeting of the c3g Lo t Marine Board took place, for the purpose of pre setttin a telescope to Captain Thomas Dick, of the ship Aci vic ,. e : of Glasgow, in consideration of his having rescued tu' crew of the Greenock, of Belfast, while their vessel 1135'. disabled. The declaration of Captain Dick states that on tile Bth October last, while proceeding to Quebec, he cal. upon the Greenock, on the banks of Newfou udiall She was laden with a cargo of timber and deals, watel; logged, and with mizentnast and mainyards gon e ' d . strong gale was blowing at the time, and he was oblige to lay by until the weather became more moderate' during which time the ship drifted south-east , at th:. rate of 2-; ; . miles an hour. The number• of t he cre rescued was twenty-eight. were The gentlemen present at the meeting yesterdaY - C. 111‘Iver, Esq., L. H. M'lntyre, Esq., James COP. bell, Esq., and Thomas Chilton, Esq. Mr. M'lvEtt having been called to the chair, said Captain Dick, this meeting has been called to-day h ' the Secretary to take into consideration a letter fronl' the Board of Trade, dated the 29th instant, requesting the local board to present the " accompanying telescope to Captain Thomas Dick, of the Ad vice, for his human assistance to the crew of the Greenock, of Belfast'' The chairman being absent to -day, I have just been called on to take his place. I don't think that words cam convey the difficulties and dangers under which you rescued this crew—no words of mine can convey thorn' half so well as your own declaration before the 11.1ay'o.r. of Dublin. In your own declaration you fully detail the great r isk to yourself and crew, and the difficultic . : under which that s hi p 's crew was rescued; and I don't think thathin k w t o h u e l r d e a i d s da to your gift n feelingstohlivseountry could bestow upon y ou of satisfaction that yo u had done your duty in this matter. That, I think, is the highest of all co nsiderations. As regards the fash ion that has now come into practice,—of g i v i ng pres ents, -- th e re is, practica ll y , no value attached to them ; b ut still, this telescope will always he a memento to Y eti ,, r c hildren, or your friends, that in the h o u r of need Y e " were not found wanting, and that you did a brave action without reference to the consequences to y o urself. 1-.4 m ust never mistake that tel escope as a money conside r - tion for services rendered—the thing itself is a baub le ' but it has a great value attached to it when viewed rn the light in which I put it to you. As an individual' having been m uc h at sea myself; I can apprec i a te it is to send a b oa t f rom one sh i p to another i n a gale,' „ wind, with a h eavy sea runn i ng, muc h l ess reraalfil", two and a half or th ree d ays b y th e di sa bl e d vessel. IL: Chairman then handed the telescope to Captain Die. ; remarking :—I have simply to say that this local boar has great plea s u r e in p r e s enting to you this tele scope :. Long may you live to go to sea. I hope you may ne Te , fall in with another case such as that of the Gr eenoel,, but if you do, I am certain you will again do your &AY'. for it is only through such as you that we can hope the high character of the British seaman will be main tained. Captain DICK. acknowledged the gift in a few words, when the proceedings terminated. The telescope bears the following inscription : sented by the Board of Trade to Captain Thomas Pic master of the ship Advice, of Glasgow, in acknowlet.- ment of his humane assistance to the crew of t e Greenock, of Belfast, whom he rescued from t heir abled vessel on the 10th October, 1859." On Monday night, a destructive tire took place i n I‘l . r. Hall's paper mill at Saddleworth. The damage Is estimated at between £5,000 and £6,000. The machinerYl and building were insured in the London autl Lie r P °° office. ;PECIAI Last nig' for th e pm Mersey Doi Cheshire si Mr. p t the fact, an lute law, ham boats the Liverpc new ferry -1 now named bill did pas ferred on 13 ger and lug any other t he navigal s'on, resole the bill, es: the levoine brotighi so; LONDO CONIPI Yesterda Messrs.
