FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE• (FROM OT'R OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARTS, Tuesday, July 24, 1860. My two last letters will have prepared you for the antagonism which has been developed between the governments of England and France respect ing the Eastern expedition. This antagonism, it is needless to say, absorbs at the present moment by far the largest share of the interest which is taken in the Syrian question ; and the uneasiness which is thereby excited has been augmented by the speech of Lord Palmerston, in intro ducing to the House of Commons the sub ject of the national defences of England. The Petrie of this evening, in commenting on the objections now made by England to the departure of the French force, in the face of the protest of the Sultan against what he maintains would be nothing else than an unwarrantable invasion of his territories, observes that the recent reply of Lord John Russell to Sir James Fer ; guson, " completely satisfied us, had Lord John Russell rightly expressed the opinion of all his colleagues. Bit the suspicions which Lord Pal merston has manifested in the subject of the armaments of France, in subsequently handling the question of the national defences, admits of our being doubtful as to this fact." The writer of the article then goes on to express his belief that the protest of the Sultan's minister here against intervention was prompted by England, and was a mere after-thought, 'engendered by "a pitiful (mesquine) . jealousy against France, and which abandons the Maronites to the 'protection of the Turkish soldiers, who, not many days ago, allowed these unfortunates to fall under the sword of . the Druses;: - if they did not themselves deliver them over to their executioners ! What magnanimity !" AS England does not pretend to go to War fOr an "idea," and France does, a French semi-official journal's notion of magnanimity is not likely to be of the very soundest. - There is, however, a tolerably general impression that France has gone rather too far in this attair to recede, and that no actual orders'have yet been given to countermand the assembling of the large force which she had, in preparation. Besides, there must be no small difficulty iu appeasing the martial thirst for glory which has been excited by the preparations in the camp at: 'Chalons. From whatever sisle,.in fact, the " Eastern ques tion" be now viewed, there is nothing but gloom, which, as a matter of course, has had most serious effects on the Bourse.: .: I have seen no contradiction as yet of the Mar seilles telegram of yesterday's date, stating that orders had been given for the immediate and simultaneous embarkation of troops at Toulon and Algiers ; neither have I seen any authentic statement that this order has yet been actually carried out. But. I see from this evening's latest news that Fluid Pasha had arrived at Aleiandria on the 20th, and was to set off the next day for Beyrout. At Naples affairs seem at last to have come to .a crisis. The chiefs of the Progress Party have illuminated . their city in honour of Garibaldi, and in anticipation of, his arrival, and the moderate Liberals have . fellowed their example. GroupS of people were calling out the name of Garibaldi in the presence of the soldiers, and a. dozen police 'agents .have been killed. . It is also rumoured that the King has sought a temporary refuge on board the Austrian frigate Sehwarzenberg: Garibaldi's arrival at Naples' will probably be the next announcement. The inquiry into the subject of textile fabrics, which is at present going on before the Superior Council of Commerce, is bringing to Paris a great - number of manufacturers from the provinces, in 'order to enable them at the same time to establish a comparison between their own productions and similar foreign articles. His Excellency the Minister for Agricultural Commerce and Public Works, has charged the Commissariat-General to 'collect samples of the finer description of fabrics, English, Belgian, and German. In consequmce of the'readiness with which several of the French Chambers of ComM erce an d pr i nc i pal merchants of * France, England, and Belgium have shown in carrying out of this idea, with the collection which is already formed at No. 58, Rue de Varennes, and - which manufacturers are admitted to inspect every day is already sufficiently complete to furnish them with highly interesting subjects of study. An article in the Revue des Deux Mondes, by M. S. M. Girardin, the celebrated Professor, is 'exciting a good deal of remark at present. The sentiments expressed respecting certain questions relative to the Corps Legislutif, coincide entirely with the known design of M. de Morny, President 'of that assembly, to demand from the Emperor an 'extension of its privileges and of its latitude of dis cussion. It is generally believed that his Majesty will have to make some considerable concessions on these points ; but the period when this body shall be entirely free, is far from being near at hand. A new brochure by M. Horn, entitled "Liberty a pu blication on Nationalities," is an nounce d for blication on Monday next, by Dentu. It is expected to contain the programme of the movement party in :Hungary with reference to this question.. It is said that this programme will be very libe ra l, and of a nature to satisfy all the legitimat e l aspirations of the different races which in habit the region of the Danube. Eh bien, nous v Meanwhile, rest assured, that this question of '"Nationalities" is a long way from solution, both nopects its meaning and its result.• The ,movement in the literary world here has lately „re mined all its vigour. Thanks to the movement towards watering places and the country. Nobody leaves Paris without mak ing ample provision in the way of books, for his change of residence. Hours of exces "aive heat are ,quite as good as days of rain rFrench literature. The great bookselling of Paris multiply their publications without ever satisfying the insatiable curiosity of a public wh ich daily grows more and more greedy of novelties in that way. The same is the esse, also, with the trade in cheap books, which is like wise having its good 'turn, Volumes which sell :at 20 sous (10d.), and in parts, at 4 sous (2d.), are in great demand; and what is also pleasing lo observe, public taste is pronouncing itself in ;favour of a good quality of paper, and of correct A nd carefully-edited editions. The 18mo series :of English authors, printed by Clage and Racon, at 3f. 50c. the volume, and the octavo series, enjoy most of the favour of the lettered public, and -authors of repute now object to have their works printed on that abominable grey paper. The successful books, of the season are al Characterised 'by careful typography and superior style . of • getting up.. c ens tance th n e d ":e li a d u am 4 e e Laroche" by George Sand , M a Fernel" by Ulbach, the "Voyage of a Student" by Stahl, are not only excellent and charming winks in .themselves, but they are , besides: hand ome Toluntes, worthy of being handsomely boued (which was not .the case formerly) and reser y:sd. There is a talk of a complete Rag= COMing out of the works of Victor which is to be a marvel of correct Railing and typeSraPhi., execution. A romance, by " one of the younge ...a cleverest Was of the age," is also onnounCed,'hisides nnmerons other publica.t;ions of the same class ; likewise, a hand some stage ..edition of George Sand's works, brought togeher for t4O Ant book is time.to appear,above of ail, a remarkai)Je labortly which it is presaged that " a great many people will think they recoil vise their neighbours, when in reality they are looking on their own por traits." It is stated to be a piquante and deleeate galerie of all the " originaux "' of the times, painted by the hand of one of the most distinguished writers of the present day—that of the Marquis de Belloy. It is to be called " LesToey.os," and will constitute a perfect museum of the whims and follies of the epoch. To conclude this literary gos sip, let me add that, owing to scandal having been busy in advance iv circulating erroneous reports respecting M. Ponsurd's forthcoming petite conigdie, which is entitled " What pleases woman," his friends have thought it desirable to betray the author's secret, and I am enabled to give you the following idea of the piece :—A young woman, beautiful and charming, is dying of ennui, surrounded by a cloud of suitors. " Come," she says to this crowd of admirers, " I will give my hand to that one of you who sha,ll extricate me from my ennui." Upon this each of them sets to work, and every ki n d of amuse ment and every description of fete are put in requisition for the entertainment of the young girl. The ennui still continues. At last a petit cousin of hers appears, who, taking her resolutely by the arm, says to her : " You are sug b ering from *t17124i, my cousin? Let us take walk together. Where shall we go ? to the Bois de Boulgne or on the water ?" "By no means." The cousin therefore takes the young lady first to one street, then to another, and then to one of the most illainous quarters of Paris (there are still some streets which merit this epithet). They mount to an attic. What a spectacle; what misery; what frightful want of everything ! the rest is easily comprehended. The young girl moved by the scene, feels her heart beat, she leaves joy where she found despair, and she, of course. marries her cousin. How completely French is the above conception, and how ridiculous it would seem for any English author to write a play which turned upon a young English lady of the present day, dying of-ennui, as well as to suppose that any such lackadaisical yOung person, if she existed, would find herself surrounded by a host of admirers—at least I hope such is the case. 4 . .

DEATH BY DROWNlNG.—Yesterday morning, a man named Peter Coleman, a labourer, fell off a stage at the Victoria Dock and was drowned. The London and North-Western Railway traffic returns for the week amount to £86,641, showing an increase of £5,199. ANOTHER ECLIPSE.—The second eclipse of the moon for this year will take place on the morning of Wed nesday week, the Ist day of August. The review of the Liverpool Volunteers in Knowsley Park is expected to take place on the last Saturday in August. LANCASHIRE. AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY.— At a meeting of the directors of this company, held on Tues day at Manchester, it was decided to recommend the proprietors at their next meeting to declare a dividend for the half-year ending the 30th of June last at the rate of 51 per cent. per annum, less income-tax. A very beautiful work of emblazoned caligraphy has been executed, intended for presentation by electors of Bury to the Right Hon. F. Peel, member for that borough, alike in congratulation upon his election and his marriage. The address, which is poetically and warmly worded, was specially written by the late Mr. John Bolton Rogerson, not long before his death. On Saturday last the London and North-western Railway Company conveyed 330 of the workpeople of Messrs. David Cochran and Co., builders, Gloucester- street, Manchester, to Liverpool, this being their third annual trip. Hitherto the men have paid their own fares, but this year, to mark the interest the firm takes in the well-being of the employes, Mr. Cochran gene- rously gave to each man half his fare. NEW TENDER FOH THE GALWAY COMPANY.—The Rover steam-tug, bound from Liverpool to Galway, called at Queenstown on Saturday, for coals. She has been purchased by the Atlantic Mail Company, and will be used as a tender to carry passengers and mails to the Transatlantic steamers plying from Galway to New York. The Rover is a remarkably powerful and safe sea-boat.-,-Cork Herald- At a meeting held at Accrington, Mr. Entwistle in the chair, resolutions were carried denouncing Easter dues. It was also resolved that " the friends if justice" should be requested to sign an agreement piedg,ing themselves not to pay the " obnoxious and odious impost," tmd to raise a fund among themselves for the payment of any eXpotwoo L. tllc of their number who may be summoned for refusing to pay the dues, &maim/14 C4usE of DEATH.—An inquest was held on Tuesday, in Maachestar, on the body of Richard Bailey, bookkeeper, who liyed In Ludlow-street, Titer- street, Chorlton-on-Nedlock. 04 the 13th ppfailt the deceased was at a friend's house. Ife had a nieerschauru pipe in his coat pocket, and in sitting down the head of the pipe hurt him considerably, and raptured a blood- vessel. A surgeon attended him, and by his advice the deceased was removed to the Royal Infirmary, where he died on Monday.—The jury returned a verdict of " Acci- dental death." TiiE VOLUNTEER REVIEW AT NE WTON.—Active measures are being Is,kon to complete the arrangements for this review, which is to take place on the 11th of next month. Yesterday Lieutenant-General Sir G. Wetherall, accompanied by Colonel Shad yell, p4d a visit to Newton, to inspect the ground upon which the review is to take place and to make arrangements. Sir Robert Gerard met the general on the ground, and dis- played the most lively interest in the proceedings. In all probability Sir llobert's troops of Hussars will.be present at the review, which it is expected will be a brilliant affair. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Tuesday night a man named Robert Robinson, aged about forty, died in a house of ill-fame in Johnston-street. It appears that the de ceased was the husband of a woman who was killed at the railway station,` Tithebarn-street, during the race week; and that he; had been separated from her for some time, and it 'furthe: appeared that he had been with another female for upwards of seyenteeu years. On Tuesday night, after entering the house in question, along with another female, he died in a few minutes. Aft inquest will be held on the body this day. BIRKENHEAD POLICE COURT.--At this court, yester- yay, John Armstrong was charged with defrauding the Birkenhead Railway Company, by riding from Birken head to Chester without a ticket or money to pay for hip fare. The offence was proved, and a fine of 40s. and costs inflicted.—Putrick Nolan wag charged by George Kid with cutting and wopidtng bini with intent to do bodily harm. The prisoner Vias sent for trial.—Patrick Kelly, charged by Ellis Roberts with stealing his watch and chain ; the case was dismissed.—William Mann, 'or attempting suicide by cutting his throat, was sent For trial to the sessions. ACCIDENTS, YESTF.RDA.Y.—A quantity of clay fell on a labourer in -the North Docks, named George Smith, residing in Bootle-village, who sustained sovere contu sions of the body.—fames Ashcroft, a boy seven years of age, residing at Great lioward-street, fell into a cellar in Denison-street, and sustained a fractured skull. William Ifathew, a boy fourteen years of age, residig in No. 11, Benson-street, fell into the hold of the ship Vancouver, in Prince's Dock, and sustained a severely contused back.—They were admitted into the Northern Hospital. FATAL ACCIDENT BETWEEN WIGAN AND SOUTH PORT.—On Saturday afternoon last, as the 6 30 train from Manchester to Southport approached the, Mew b),lrgh Station, the engine driver saw a woman walking by the-side 9f the line. As she was not on the rails he did not attempt to stop flip train, but sounded the whistle. As the train approached ber, however, from some unaccountable cause she got on the line, was knocked down, and killed on the spot, her body being dreadfully mutilated. The driver stopped the train, and the body of the unfortunate woman, who appeared to have been about 50 years of age, was conveyed to the nearest station. PIPOTS AND PILOTAGE OF LIVERPOOL.—It appears from a ]parliamentary return of Tuesday that there are in the port of Liverpool 46 master pilots and 168 journeymen pilots licensed to conduct vessels Of 411 Y size into or out of the port ; that there are 6 journeymen pilots licensed to conduct vessels not exceeding 500 tons, 3 licensed to conduct vessels not exceeding 200 tons, 19 apprentice pilots licensed to conduct vessels not exceeding 500 tons, and 38 apprentice pilots licensed to conduct vessels not exceeding 200 tons. It appears from the same return that the total amount of pilotage received in ate , year 1859 in the port of Liverpool was £62,743 14s. 4d., of whioli £35,400 13s. 11d. was paid by British vessels and £27,445 Qs. sd. by foreign vessels. The number of vessels which paid pilotage was 14,763. GRAND PARADE OF VOLUNTEERS IN PaINCE'S PARK.—Yesterday evening five companies of our local volunteers held, by concerting, their fortnightly meeting for battalion drill in Prince's Park ; and the weather X)eing extremely fine, there was an unusually large con course of spectators to witness the spectacle. The corps upon the gtonnd wexe time 9f the 2nd battalion of Lanca shire Volunteers, which; in the 44sQnce of Col. A. Glad stone, was commanded by Major Tinley : gth Conpeny, Captain Crosbie ; 14th (Edge-hill), Captain Brady 19th (Scotch), Captain Maxwell; and the 39th (Welsh), Captain Griffiths.

The children were regaled with ham, bread, cake, milk, fruit, aza other things, such as children are wont to delight in. The day was pnsied very agreeably ; and the children returned at 9 o'clock, much pleased with the day's "out," and thankful for the kindness shown them. LIVERPOOL CO-OPERATIVE PROVIDENT ASSOCIATION. --,Thehaf,yeßzly meeting of the members of this associa tion was held iiist night in the Temperance-hall, Renshaw street.

The passage relative to Sardinia is, as follows: " In various parts of the regions of Italy unjustly subjected tu the 3ubA i itte euvelument, public .'" , liu" 1 " have been instituted, in which, to the great detriment of souls,. all kinds of erroneous, false, and depraved doctrines, quite contrary to the Catholic Church, are publicly taught, and the Church itself is attacked. It is likewise known to all that innumerable pamphlets and journals are being published, both in Italy and elsewhere, issuing from the workshops of Satan, for the perdition of the universe, with shameful and abominable engravings, with which these implacable enemies- of religion and. skilful artisans of wickedness and fraud endeavour to deride the sacred mysteries of the Church, and persecute the sacred mysteries of the Vicar of Christ on earth, in order to destroy his legitimate empire and cause the ruin both of ecclesiasti cal and civil society. And these enemies of light and truth do not hesitate to lay violent and sacrilegious hands on the sacred ministers and patrimony of the Church. Thus, when the Subalpine Government, on the 14th of April last, usurped the dominion of the Parmese and Placential Duchy, it iniquitously drove away the monks of the order of St. Benedict who lived in the convent of St. John the Evangelist at Parma. Then, by a decree of the 10th of last May. it ordered the seminary of the clergy at Pia cenza to be closed, in order to take vengeance on the bishop, who very properly abstained from performing the sacred ceremonies ordered by the civil power. And the same most vigilant bishop was arrested, taken to Turin, and condemned to imprisonment and gne, to which punishment also the vicar-general and some canons were subjected. For the same reason, both . in our provinces of Emilia, usurped by the same govern ment, and in other places subjected to the unjust Sub alpine domination, several venerable bishops and ecclesiastical personages and members of religious frater nities were sorely persecuted and subjected to severe inquisition, and not a few exiled or imprisoned. For this reason the Pro-vicar of Bologna was dragged from the bedside of his dying bishop, and sent to prison. And when that illustrious Archbishop of Bologna died, the propeity of the see was immediately subjected to the administration of the Government. For the same reason the venerable brother, the pious Bishop of Faenza, was Brat guarded by soldiers in his own house, because, liming ill, he could not be dragged to prison, and was afterwards condemned to imprisonment and fine. For the same reason the Archbishop of Pisa was arrested and sent to Turin, the Bishop of Imola was placed under restraint in his own house, and the Arch bishop of Ferrara molested in various ways." On the subject of Sicily the Pope said:— "You know the serious evils which religion and its ministers suffered lately in Sicily; through the acts of abandoned men, who have disturbed the authority of the rightful Prince. Among other things, two religious orders that had deserved well of the Christian religiOn, were dissolved, and their members exiled. And what is most to be lamented, venerable brethren, is that there were many of the clergy who, forgetful of the Lord and their duty as priests, did not blesh to favour the enemies of the Church and of justice, to the ;immense scandal and wrath of the righteous." His Holiness then adverts to the constancy and faith of the Bishops under these trials, and exhorts them to pray for the cessation of all these evils, and concludes as follows : "We doubt not that the . same venerable brethren, animated with their usual zeal, piety, and spirit of religion, will endeavour, with increasing alacrity, toge ther with the faithful committed to their care, to defend the cause of the Church and of this Apostolic See, and will, full of confidence, approach with us the Thrune of Grace, and implore the powerful protection of the irtitua culate and holy Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, in order that, this great and dark tempest being laid, the Catholic Church may obtain the desired peace and enjoy its liberty, and that all those who have deviated from the path of truth and justice may return to consci ousness and be converted to God, and, by abandoning evil and doing pod, may walk in the path of the Lord." Sir Cursetjee Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, of limbo', has orwarded a liberal donation to the Royal nition&-1 Life-boat Institution. THE ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF SCIENCE AND ART.—The Irish Times says--Master Joseph Crawford Withers, a bov only in. his fourteenth year, has borne away a first-class prize—the " Queen's prize"—in the department of chemistry connected with the Royal Society for. the Prowtion of Science and Art. Six prizes were set apart for the Glasgow students ; and, though Master Withers was axe yogig est but two or three of about seventy students; he ,pore away everything before him. What renders this cir cumstance the more extraordinary is, that the boy had attended the sessional lectures but a single session, while some of the other competitors, as we understand, had been studying three and even four sessions. Master Withers is, we believe, sou of James Withers, Esci, long known by his connection with the peg of this and the sister country. Tun PEACE PRESERVATION ACT.—Copies of the pro chmation issued by the Privy Council have been received and. posted at tine various police stations in the city and county of Armagh, ordering all those parts of the county not hitherto proclaimed to be placed under the' provi sions of the Peace Preservation (fre4nd) Act, 1856. Previously to this order in Council the Act vas in operation in the baronies of Upper Fews and Upper Orior since the 2nd of August, 1848, and in the parishes of Derrynoose and Keady since the Bth of DedAmber, 1851 . The proclamation is signed- by "Maziere Brady, C.," "Frederick elzw," and "A. Brewster," and has appended to it a summary of the Act, one clause of which makes it a misdemeanour, liable to imprisonment for any p er i od n.owingly not exceeding two years, wilfully or to have possession of any gun, pistol, sword or other tyre-arm, or part of a fire-arm, after this date. A NovT.I. MO D E 7 OF COMMITTING R O BBERY.--On Tuesday, at Worship-stna police-court, London, a man about 40 years of age, uncouth an appearance, and who stated that he was a maltster, but without any fixed residence, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with st.'eal estate agent, re s idi ng i n Suffo l k - p l ace , ing a clock, val ue £ 2 s s.

TIMES, IHURSDAY, JUN 26, 1860. . THE NEW LICENSE ACr. Yesterday, at the Police-court, before Messrs. E. Gladstone and Booth, several applications were male under the new act, for licences for refreshment houses, for wine licenses, &c. The process of proceeding in such cases is as follows :—ln the first place, a requisi tion must be made to the officers of inland revenue, and they are to forward a duplicate of the same to the magistrates, and the latter are to hold a sessions, and to hear any complaint that might be made by the police against the applicants, and then to decide whether such objections are well founded ; and if sustained, to report the same back to the officers of inland revenue, and then they are to grant or refuse the license accordingly. In the cases that came before the court yesterday, Detec tive-officer Scott was the inspector of the applicants' houses, and made his reports according to his knowledge of the manner in which they were conducted. There was nothing publicly interesting in the details, and in some cases the objections were sustained, and in others not. The magistrates made their report, and sent back the list according to their report. Mr. Clark Aspinall, Mr. Bremner, and Mr. Dodd, were engaged in the cats that came before the court. COUNTY COURT.—YEsTERDAY. (Before J. K. BLAIR, Esq.) THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS COMPANY (LIMITED) V. CHARLES SEAMAN.—In this case the proprietors of the Zoological Gardens were the plaintiffs, and the defendant was Charles Seaman, a tenant of the public-house adjoin ing the gardens. Mr. Yates appeared for the plaintiffs, and the defendant was represented by Mr. Wynne. The action was brought in consequence of the defendant's refusal to quit the tenancy of his public-house at one week's notice. From the opening statement of Mr. Yates, it appears that the defendant has for a consider able length of time been a tenant of the public-house adjoining the Zoological Gardens. In the latter part of last year he received notice to quit, and during the time that this notice was running, the plaintiffs became pro prietors of the gardens and the public-house in question. Upon their taking possession, an arrangement was entered into by which the defendant agreed to remain in thehouse as a weekly tenant. Mr. John Gale, the first witness, said he was the managing director of the Gardens Com pany. Tn the early part of the present year the company became the pi;a - cbaccrs >f kho 1 olofitovl ( - .4,,dens, and took possession or mein, also of the public-house in which the defendant is a tenant. Sometime after they had taken possession he (witness) communicated with the defendant regarding his tenancy. In the month of May an interview took place, at which the defendant acknowledged that his tenancy had expired ; he also stated that as he could not conveniently remove his things, be would enter into arrangements with the company. 411 arrangement was then concluded between witness and the defendant relative to his future occu pation, by which the defendant agreed to become a weekly tenant, at the rent of 12s. per week. When this agreement was made, in order to prevent any mis understanding, witness urged the defendant to g o to Mr. Blackhurst's office, which was near at hand ; this he did, but not with witness. The defendant did not pointedly agree or pointedly object to receiving a week's notice.—Mr. Blackhurst was next called, and he read the agreement that had been drawn tip in his office according to which the defendant was to pay I.:is per week, and to consider himself liable to a week's notice. Mr. Black hurst added that this paper which he now produced was merely the substance of the argument The parties were to have called again the following morning to receive copies of the document in a legal form. The defendant did not say at this time that he would not go out on a weeks notice. Mr. 'Wynne here put in a legal objection to the paper produced ; it was not signed with initials, and was, therefore, no more than a memorandum, it was not stamped, and could not, therefore, be ten dered as evidence. His Honour intimated that he would "consider the objection. Mr. Love, the resident director, was then called. He lived next door to the defendant he accompanied him to the office of Mr. Blackhurst, soliCitor.' The paper which had been read was intended as the substance of the legal document which was to be called for the next day. It was drawn up by the consent of all parties. On the next morning Mr. Seaman would not agree to what be had agreed to the day before ; witness therefore declined to have any more to do with the matter. The defendant said he did not agree to sign the paper which had been read by Mr. Blaakhurst ; it was never read over to him. If he had_ known that it obliged him to he a weekly tenant he would have very much opposed it. It would take him at least four weeks to Fa opt the museum and other additions he had made to the public-house. 4e built the place himself, and was a tenant of Mr. Atkins! father. Mr. Wynne, or. behalf of the defendant, said there must he a clear assent to the terms of the tenancy proposed. In the present case there was no legal document prepared ; that was left over until the second day. It was evident that the defendant had never assented to the paper drawn up in Mr. Blaekhurst's office; he scarcely understood its nature, and was cer tainly - and3r the impression that it was not the one by which the terms of his tenancy were to tr,:c. determined. The defendant's notice, which he had received fr . orn Mr. Atkin, was not a legal one, inasmuch as his tenancy commenced on the 25th of December, and this notice was not received until the Ist of February. He con tended that it was most improbable that the defendant knowing this to be so, should voluntarily tell Mr. Gale that he was no longer a tenant. The whole circum stances of the case was in favour of the supposition that the defendant did not believe, at the time that paper was drawn up, that he would he liable to ejection at a Week's notice. The judge said he considered the ques tion to be one of fact as well as of law ; he would decide the ease on Monday next. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFr.vs.) CRYING ENTHUSIASTICALLY ! A respectable looking man, named James Bond, the keeper of a beerbouse at the corner of Berry and Milford streets, was tharged by poiice 7 otlicer Carrol, 223, and alto by a bailiff named James Tomilson, for having assaulted them. Mr. Biikk defended. The officer said after one o'clock yesterday m orn i ng he heard a noise in the prisoner's shop, and thinking there was some one drinking there, be knocked, and, on entering, h o saw the man Tomilson in the shop, who told him that he was in possession of the place, under a warrant for water rent from Cornwallis-street. He then went away, but immediately after he heard cries of " Police," and " Murder," and on going back he found the cries coming from the inside. He knocked, but the prisoner refused to let him in, and, as the cries still conti nued, he at last broke in the door, when he found the bailiff on the lloor,'and the prisoner standing over him. Some alterca tion ioprwcd, when the prisoner assaulted both. The bailiff corroborated the stateinefit. Mr. Bir f ck crqssTeanii ne ,i Lan, but their evidence was not altered. Mr. Block contended that the bailiff had entered the house at an imPTOP.er rout, an d that the prisoner wanted bim to wait till morni ng, when he could procure change for a note to pay the paltr) amount some 12s. or so, but he would not d o so, but "cried ent h ua i. astically." The defendant was fined 20s. and costs. PLUNDER AT A RAILWAY STATION. Bridget M'eann and Ann Cromp ton ( her daughter) were charged with having stolen ten pair of patent shoes from the Park-lane station of the London and North-Western Railway Company. Mr. Gill (of the firm of Lace, Marshall, and Gill) appeared tor the prosecution, and Mr. Cobb for the prisoners. It appeared that some tithe between the 26 th of May and th e 6th of June a Mr. Derby, a boot and shOe' maker'at Mirth ampton, sent a hamper of boots and shoes to Mr. Robinson, of Paradise-street. When the hamper was taken to Mr. Robin son he refused to receive it, as it was behind time, and the hamper was taken back to the station, where it rem a i ne d t il l the 6th of June, when it was sent back, and then t en p a i r of shoez sere misled, value of which wag £a 13s. 6d. The husband of the prisoner Ceompton was a stoker at the' stutioh ' and it was supposed he broke open the hamper and t oo k th e boots, as he has absconded. The prisonet a were stopped by Mr. Syred, pawnbroker, offering some of the shoes fat pledge,e five pair of which were found with the prisoners. The evidence was not sufficient to reach the young woman, and she was discharged; and Mr. Cobb then argued that the fact of the. old woman having offereel , !ai_e_ 4 oe ti ihkop u t , s , for pledge w as leas 110 c c _ a - pledge charged tie Cycl woman also.

Bridget Moab, of 38, Poplar-street, summoned Nathan Mille gam, of the same street, for having used abusive sued insultiric language, calculated to create a breach of the peace. E. Bluck defended. This affair arose out of the 12th of July, is it appeared that the defendant was out at the Orange proces sion on that day, and on his return he exhibited an orange dig out of his window, which is next door to the complainant, and he then used very insulting language about Pope and Porery, and said he would rip all PaPsts like re,lerriws. Thi s , a a such like language constituted that complained of. e m . rai witnesses were called on either side, and at the donelusionthe magistrate said the evidence fully established the chtLrg: on behalf of the complainant ; and Mr. Gladstone aid it was 'cry outrageous conduct on behalf of the defendant.

YeSterday a trial of Mr. Whitworth's breach-loading cannon took place on the beach, four miles from South port, in the presence of Colonel St. George, President of the Secret Ordnance Committee; Colonel Bingham ; General Weatherall ; Captain Herbert, of her Majesty's ship Excellent ; Captain Moore, the Duke of Somerset's secretary; Captain Egerton ; Sir John Burgoyne, In spector-General of Fortifications ; and the Honourable Captain Wrottesley. There was a large number of casual visitors present, but the congregation of spectators was not nearly so large as on the previous occasion, owing probably to the fact that the trial was not announced until yesterday morning. The beach presented a very lively appearance between the town and the scene of operations. In addition to the men belonging to Mr. Whitworth's establish ment, the trials were carried out by experienced men belonging to the Reyal Artillery and Marine Artillery, under the immediate superintendence of the committee. The regular artillerymen first took their place at the guns, and the gunners afterwards ; none of whom had previously seen the ordnance. The experiments were, it is understood, highly satisfactory and success ful. In one or two instances, however, the large gun, gun, eighty-pounder, ruissfired; which, we understood, was owing to inaptitude in firing. In the first set of ten shots from a twelve-pounder with solid shot, the greatest range (that is where it first struck the ground) achieved was 4,298 yards, and the lowest 4,102 yards, at an elevation of ten degrees ; the greatest deviation was 42 feet, and the smallest 2 feet tq the left. Ir► the second set, at 44 elevation of seven degrees, the ball traversed the air, find struck the ground at a distance of 3,233 yards, deviating seven feet to the left of the strait line marked out. The shortest range at this elevation was 3,036 yards, with a deviation to the left of 16 feet. In the third set, at an elevation of five degrees, the greatest range accomplished was 2,603 yards, and the smallest 1,853 yards. In the fourth set (twelve-pounder with shell) the greatest range was 843 yards, deviating 1 foot to the left, and the shortest 757 yards, deviating to the left 6 feet. The greatest range of the big gun (eighty-pounder), with solid shot, was 1,008 deviating four inches to the left ; and the shortest range 274 yards, with a deviation of only two inches. With c lJUuulcr 1..01ci1 n itl 514e11, a maximum range of 1,328 yards, and a minimum range or 1,506 yards way aitai4ed, the de7i4t4on in the latter case being five feet to the right. The following is a table, showing the number of shots fired, the size of the guns, the degrees of elevation, the range attained, and the deviation of each shot to the right or to the left.

The weekly meeting of the West Derby Board of Guardians, was held yesterday, in the board-room at the w q r 10, gu t s q. The c,hr t ir waS occupied by Mr. Heyes. The other memhers present were Messrs. H. Edwards, Roscoe, Ledger, Williamson, Abrahams, Pilling, Clarke, Medcalf, Wareham, Smith, Webster, J. Edwards, Roberts, and Shaw. The Governor reported the number of inmates in the workhouse to be :—Last week, 309 ; admitted since, 15; discharged 17 ; dead 1 ; this week, 340. Mr. Hall, the master of the Hospital, reported the number in the hospital to be :—Last week, 53 ; admitted since, 6 ; disehargld, 13 ; dead, .1 ; this week, 45 ; corresponding week of last Year, 78. Cheques for out-door relief were drawn as follows : Mr. Potts, £ll5 ; Mr. Roberton, 438 ; Mr. Lythgoe, £22. The Clerk read a communication from the overseers of Aintree, applying for a new valuation of the township. The request was granted. After some cenversation, Mr. WILSON LEDGER made the following notice of motion. He said—On Wednesday next, I intend to move that this board take into consideration the de fective state of the medical depirtment of the work house. All the guardians are lirobriblY aware of the discussion which occurred at the coroner's iuquest, held on Monday last, on this important question —a question fraught with many difficulties,—but it is generally known that, as long since as February, 1847, the Poor-. law Board advised the then guardians, instead of a dis penser of medicine, to elect a regularly qualified practitioner. In compliance with their advice, I shall move that a duly qualified practitioner, as assistant to Dr. Nevins, to reside in the work house, with a suitable salary and first-class rations ; and that such appointment be made before or WWI LLIV sntrUi aLs. the two medical stags. my object is not hastily to convince the Guardians to any injudicious arrange ment, but to induce them deliberately and dispassionately to commit this difficult and important question in all its complicated bearings. The speaker went to say that for the last seven years Mr. Gough had given assistance to Dr. Nevins without any remuneration. Some irregular and unimportant discussion ensued, and PILING enquired whether the Board could legally defray the expenses of 14r. Gough with respect to the late inquiry before the Coroner into the death of the woman by chloroform; or whether it was competent to award him a gratuity? The Clerk answered in the negative. Some farther conversation took place. Mr. Roscos facetiously proposed that £lOO a-year be given to Mr:Gough for the seven years—Dr. Nevins to pay it. Mr. SITAW remarked that there would, and ,must be, a further investigation into the circumstances attending tae woman's death ; and complained that at the late in•uest there had been asked no questions touching the syste n practised in the Workhouse. Mr• lEYES affirmed that all had been done that could be done. Mr. Si"- , was not satisfied with Mr. Heyes' asser tion, and remak e d that he had come there thinking he in whose presence he desi r ed to should meat Mr.w ar d , say a few words;,,,,t, since lw was on his feet, he might go a little f u rt En. into the question. Mr. HEyES—Are yoi,,,poing to make any motion Mr. SHAW—No ; but- am going to answer some slanderous remarks that hav,been made by certain par ties at this board. (Uproar). Mr. HEYES interfered. Mr. SuAw stated that if the bo— d would not hear ilittt he would sit down ; and referred, mid some confu sion, to the proposed new medical officer. Several members inquired if there was Trspticul before the bo'ard. Mr. RoscoF world object to anything being pail out of the rates to the new otteereproposeti. Mr. Sitiw—lf his salary is to come from anywhere; $ it must come out of the rates. After some further conversation, the meeting terrn. noted., ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. SIR WILLIAM AND LADY DON. Last night Sir William I)on appeared before a nume • roils and fashionable audience as Dandie Dinmont, in " Guy Mannering," with his usual success. Mr. Cooper played Dominie Sampson with excellent effect ; and, generally, the members of the . stock ompany ably sustained the play. There's Nae Luck aboot the Hoose " was sung with good effect at the conclusion of the piece, and was loudly applauded by the audience. Lady Don appeared with charming effect as Gertrude in " The Loan of a Lover," and was of course well received. The per formance concluded with the clever burlesque "mealy drama" of " The Miller and His Men," in which Sir William and Lady Don both appeared. To-night "Married Life," "The Loan of a Lover," and "The Miller and His Men" are the pieces ; and we can promise all those who may find it convenient to attend a capital evening's entertainment. A BOAT CAPSIZED ON THE MERSEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. SIR,—On Sunday afternoon last, a small " speculating gig," with four boatmen in it, was capsized, through inadvertence, at the mouth of the river ; when the James Atherton, steamer, and a boat belonging to an American barque were put off in pursuit. The chase down channel lasted some time, -and eventually the crew of the steamer picked up three of the drowning men, and the American boat's crew the other one, thus saving four lives ; the steamer towing back both boats and men in gallant style. A subscription was at once entered into by the passengers of the ferry steamer, amounting to about 365., and given (as I understand) to the men who were immersed, whilst three hearty cheers were given for the American boat's crew. lint as 1 wit ne:setl. with anxiety, the seamanlike intrepidity displaye4 j the captain and crew of the James Atherton, may I be permitted to ask what tueans should be taken to compensate or compliment those brave fellows for their humanity, or the owners of the steamer, who perform such expensive services gratui tously ? —Yours respectfully, BRAITHWAITE POOLE, Marine-terrace, New Brighton, July 25, 1860. THE IRISH NATIONAL CATTLE SIAOW AT CQRI.i.. SPEECH OF THE LORD-LIEUTENANT, &e. This great agricultural exhibition was inaugurated yesterday by a grand banquet in the Corn Exchange, at which the Lord-Lieutenant was present. We have been favoured by the Magnetic Telegraph Company with the following report of the proceedings : The banquet was held at half-past six, and v, , us 4n a splendid scale. Tile hall wus I , ,andsomely decorated, and preee.nted a tailliant appearance. Over .500 noble men and gentlemen were present. On the head of the table were placed the five challenge cups, awarded at the show. A band, stationed in the gallery, performed during the evening. Lord Clonbrock, as president of the society occupied the chair. At his left side his excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, the Marquis of Water ford, the Earl of Shannon, the Epal of Huntingdon, the Earl of Balinor, Lord Dunlo, the High Sheriff of the county, the night Hon. W. I). Tighe, Sir G. Colthurst, Mr. Justice Hayes, Captain Moore, A.D.C., and Doctor Hatchell ; at the right of the noble chairman sat Earl of Erne, Earl of Cork, the Earl of Bandon, Lord Car bery, Lord Doneraile, Lord Talbot de Mayihide, the High Sheriff of the city, Malt:lr-general tiAe Hon. A. A. Dalzell, 4heritf‘ot the county of LimeriCk, Lieutenant Andrew, R.N., Captain Everard, Colonel Parke, and Colonel Smith. The cloth being removed, and the usual loyal toasts being drunk with enthusiasm, The Earl of Balmore proposed " The Arms and Navy," to which General Dalzell and SAmiral Talbot responded. The galleAt admiral assured the company that the greatest sympathy existed between those who plough the sea and those who plough the land. (Cheers.) The president, Lord Clonbrock, said it gave him sincere pleasure to propose the health of the Lord- Lieutenant, and knew it would I.e ruc,st heartily received. (Cheers) Iney were all anxious to pay him that honour and respest due to him officially as the representative of her Majesty, but also personally as the warm friend of Ireland. (Cheers.) Ever alive to the interests of the country over which he so worthily presided, his Excellency is ever ready to afford the advantage and honour of hia p.reAeuce upon all occasions important to those interests, whether of a local or more general nat (cheers) ; whether, tak ing advantage of our geographical position, the magni ficent project is entertained of spanning the ocean with a magnetic wire, and thereby joining together the interests and desires of the old world and the new one ; whether a foundation stone is to be laid of a building devoted either to scientific or other useful purposes; or whether, as on the last occasion of his Excellency's visit here, a fresh country is to be opened by a new line of railway—on all these occasions we find his Excellency at the post, and, in that graceful and eloquent language which is peculiarly his own, encouraging our hopes and bidding us God speed. To his name most approvingly is added prosperity to Ireland, which prosperity is the object of his Excellency's best wishes. The toast was received with great cheering. His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, on rising to respond, was greeted with loud and continued cheering. He said,—My L or d Cl on b roc k, m y l or ds and gen tlenaen, for the g rea t h onour which 1 14 s beeu and warmly paid me, I beg to return my hest thanks to this numerous and distinguished erunPanY• I can assure you all that I look upon it as one of the most pleasant of my functions, when I have the privilege to attend those great annual gatherings of the Royal Irish Agri cultural Society, (cheers) for, besides the animation and the gaiety which lie upon the surface, I attach a deep and wide, and I may say national, importance to these occasions. (Hear, hear.) It assnmes, from the very nature of things, that agriculture in Ireland is the most important of all subjects connected with her prosperity. After having referred to the agricultural statistics of 1841 and 1851, and giving a glowing description of the climate, position and sceneries of Ireland, his Excellency went. on to say that here we find in the soil and the climate the conditions best suited for pasture—and pasture frequently of too rich a kind to be good for several species of sheep, which I say it in the face of the splendid show of sheep in the showyard hard by, will often be found to, browse better in such hilly uplands as Scotland abounds in. pence it appears that, cattle above all things, seem to be rendered by the conditions of soil awl climate the most appropriate stock for Ireland—(hear, hear,) — and the laws of the market, to which 1 have before inverted, co-operate in recommending this source of supply. Corn, you all know, can be brought from one country to another from a great distance, at compara tively small freights. It is not so with cattle. Hence the great hives of industry in England and Scotland, across the Channel, can draw their very frequent shiploads of corn from more southern and drier climates. Rut they must have a constant depend ence upon Ireland for an ahundant supply of meat. (Great applause). Now, the precise test of a very few figures will be found to confirm these general remarks. In the year 1859 I eompared Scotland and Ireland. The heads of cattle in Scotland were 974,437, in Ireland they were 3,630,954. (Applause.) This shows the immense preponderance of cattle. With sheep, as I have said before, it is the reverse. Scotland produced 5,683,068 sheep; Ireland only 3,452,952 ; but it appears that whether for cattle or for sheep, nearly half of the whole surface of Ireland was devoted to pasture. Now it is obvious that with this immense quantity of your capital wasted in the production of live stock, ton much caution and vigilance cannot be taken in providing against the a great measure, through which we have lately passed, and which, I fear, will be found to have inflicted very serious injury, especially upon the small farmers. Now the moral of what I am drawing your attention to is this that the country ought not to be coveted with stock fie cording to the measure of good which may naturally be produced on one or two very favourable seasons. (Hear.) For instance, you ought nut to calculate on the abundance of ote year very favourable to the growth of hay, at the risk of its being succeeded by another year which will prove to he very short in the hay gop, whether from drought or over much rain. His Expel lency, atter referring to the great progress made in all agricultural departments, then proposed " The Health of the President of the Society, and Success of the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland." The noble Chairman responded in suitable terms. Several other toasts were proposed, and responded to, after which the company separated. Four workmen in Dublin were dangerously injured , on Monday, by the fall of a scaffold. THE GALWAY COkPANY.—The Freeman's Journal states that Mr. Jobn Orrell Lever has written a very creditable letter tendering his resignat c ion as a member of the Galway Board of Directors. The Freeman'; hawnat says :—" Our London advices assures its that the whole body of the Galway directors have resigned, and . confirm the intelligence hinted at in the Times—viz. that. capitalists of high standing a re about to replace the old hoard." AFRICAN Missiox.—The Mission to Central Africa, which up to a short time ago was known by the n ame of the Oxford and Cambridge Mission, lately added th e name of Dublin . to those of the two English univ ers iti :r;, It has now received a farther reinforcement from thir ham, the name, of which university;. is in, like n IR/mer : to be incorporated into, the title.

Napoleon the Third intends to carry out, it is said, the projects of Napoleon the First. Among these was a project of invading England. What' were Napoleon's designs in determining on that inva sion, and what would have been the results, must be looked for in the words of the Emperor himself. We therefore translate them for our readers' benefit. "Had I succeeded in landing my troops," Ile said, " I have little doubt but that my designs should have been successfully accomplished. Three thousand boat , were ready, each of which was made to contain twenty men, a horse, and a proportionate amount of artillery. The English fleet having been allured to another place (as I before explained), I should have been master of the Straits. Without this, I should have made no attempt. In four days I would have been in London ; for in a flat country like England, it is difficult to make any defence. I doubt not that they would have done their duty ; but did they lose a single battle, the metropolis was mine. They could not have brought men enough together to beat me in a general battle. Your ideas about burning, destroying the towns, and even the metropolis, seem very specious in theory, but are practically impossible. They would have offered battle, and last. ' True, we have been beaten,' they would say, ' but we have not lost our honour—we must now make the best bargain we can ; we must make conditions.' I would have offered a constitution to be chosen by themselves, saying Let the deputies of the People assemble to form a constitution : I would have called upon Burdett and other popular chiefs to organise one after the people's heart; I would have abolished the nobility, proclaimed liberty, freedom from privileges, and equality. Think you that, to preserve the House of Hanover upon the throne, the rich citizen merchants and other dwellers in London would have consented to sacrifice their wealth, houses, and dearest interests, especiallywhen I should have made them understand that I only came to deliver them from the privileges of an oligarchy, and to endow them with freedom ? "No ! the supposition is opposed to the history of human nature. They are too rich—the principal inha bitants have too much to lose, and the people too much tp gain—to think of resistance. If they supposed that I wished to snake England and France one province,. th, national spirit would, doubtless, have done wonders, But I would have created a Republic according to their own liking. I would have exacted but a moderate con tribution only sufficient to pay my troops, and, per haps, not even that. Yonr mob would join with me, knowing that I myself am one of the people, that. I belong myself to the mob, and that whenever a mart had merit, had talent, I elevated him, without asking how many quarters of nobility his shield bore, knowing, in fact, that in taking part with roe they would free thmselves front the yoke of the aristocracy, which they groan under. There is not in the world— not even in Prussia—a people more ill-used. Except the obligation to serve as soldiers, the German people is more happy than ours. You have no more care for yours than if they were a troop of slaves, and you treat them precisely as such. As to the lords and ladies, the aristocrats and the gentlemen, you have all kinds of care e„nd attention for them ; for them nothing is too, gooxl, act treatment too generous. But, as to your people—bah ! they are to the Government as ao many dogs—as your contractors used to, say, when they furnished provisions for the French prisoners, ' It's too good for these French dogs; Yet God has made all men equal (in rights) wha com pose the nation. Not the lords, nor the tat prelates, nor the churchmen, nor the oligarchy.. Oh ! the people will avenge themselves -- sortiß 44y, and terrible scenes will occur. " Were they a half-savage nation, poor and barbarous, mounliarneers or savage shepherds, like the Seythians, then, indeed, they might have destroyed their towns and desolated their country to arrest the progress of a foe—but you are too rich an,d too egotistical. Where amongst you would cane he found to say . I will de stroy my home, abandon my property to pillage, and my children to destruction ! and wherefore ? To main tain this or that family on the throne, Lord Bathurst and the Archbishop of Canterbury in their salary of £20,000 a-year ? I will make all these efforts to resist a man who offers us such a constitution, such as we desire ourselves ?—no, no ! it would be too much to expect from human folly. Pitt knew it himself, and one method he took to form the coalition against me was to assure all that a descent on England was possible ; and that if it took place the kingdom would he conquered before 3 year. That then the whole Continent would be at my mercy and disposal. That if England once fell all was lost. The King of Prussia has since given Inc this information." Napoleon then repeats d what lie had already stated concerning the inhabitants of Moscow (i. e.) that they had not only aided to set fire to their city, but, on the contrary, done their utmost to extinguish it, and con tinued as follows : " The English, after one hatte, seeing that we came neither to pillage nor to massacre them, that the inhabi tants suffered. no annoyance, nor any molestation whatso ever (for I would not have permitted the slightest outrage, immediate death would have been the fate of any of my soldiers attempting a disturbance, or fault), the English would have been convinced , that we came to them neither to pillage nor to, slay, but solely to free them—if. indeed, war wen waged as in former times, when the male prisoners were immolated or reduced to slavery, and the females to concubinage, then the conquest of the nation would be impossible. " But no ! we would not have molested the people more than their own soldiers. We would have done everything to conciliate the people and to establish good feeling and harmony," The ladies of Aci, in Sicily, have addressed a letter to General Oaribaldi, announcing that from a wish to fol-. low the noble example of patriotism given by the women of Central and Upper Italy, they intend to collect together and forward to him a sum of 6,000 f., which they had intended for the purchase of their summer dresses. The donors express a wish that the sum in question may be employed in the purchase of muskets. SINGULAR ACCIDENT TN KENT.—On Saturday morn ing last a ploughman at Chilhant Wes at work with a team of four horses op a farm in the occupation of Mr. Bay, when, passing too near the edge of a chalkpit, the ground Ander the wheel-horse gave way. Observing this, the driver struck the front horses, with a view to save the others from going over, but unfortunately the chains broke The two last horses were consequently precipitated into the pit, dragging the plough after them. One was killed upon the spot And the other only lived a short time after the accident. The two horses were said to be worth nearly .Cloo.—Meitistone Journal. THE IRISH LAw COURTS.—On Tuesday was issued a parliamentary paper, showing the salaries payable to the officials of, and the individual expenses attaching to, the superior law courts of Ireland during the year ending 31st of Mardi, 1560. The salary of the master in the Court of Queen's Bench is £1,351 a year. The principal assistant has £BOO a year, and the other salaries make up the total expenses to £5,873 per annum, to which must be added £1,280 for incidental expenses. The cost of the Court of Common Pleas, including incidental expenses to the amount of £1,116, was £6,956, and of the Court of Exchequer, including £1,398 incidental expenses, £7,428 Similar returns are given for former years, but the year we mention seems a fair example. A STUPID Ditivas,.--,A party of gentlemen, returning in an omn,ikus from the sham fight at Chislehurst met with 4 serious accident. 011 reaching the Bull Hotel, Dartford, the driver, without being aware of the danger, drove into the yard, and there, being but a few inches space between the top of the vehicle and the roof, the six passe'ngers, on what is technically called the knife board, were tnrown ott, and we regret to state several of therm were seriously injured. Mr. Phileox received several severe contusions, and such serious internal injuries, that he has not since been able to leave his bed. Mr. Cuthbert Russell, Mr. James Hards, and Sergeant Court were also seriously injured; while Mr. Talbot, Mr. Tasker, and another gentleman escaped with a few bruises. Mr. Phileox, although slightly better on Saturday last, is yet, we regret to say, in a dangerous state. AD the sufferers are highly respected, and con fleQted with the first families in the town, and quite a gloom has been cast over the place by the accident.— Maidstone Journal. . THE UNITED STATES CENSUS or 1860—IMMENSE GROWTH or THE REPUBl.lC.—Preiarations for taking the eighth census since the - organisation of the Republic are now being made in Washington. The cen,sus offi cials are to commence operations on the Ist of June, and they are required to complete the work in every State and Territory within the. earliest practicable time.

The total population of the Stites and Territories ac cording to the census of 11150, was 23,191,876, and after an elaborate calcntation, the New York Herald estimates. the Inc;erse of the ten years which have elapsed at — in sound numbers-12,500,006, making the pteeent popu lation 3 6,01)0,000, " Thus," says, our " we shall soon exceed the population of either France or England, exchksiva of their colonies ; contemPra r Y.
