Mr. Baron Watson entered the c)ttrt at nine o'clock this 'morning, and proceeded with the hearing of civil cases. WOOLSCROFT V. WATSON —This was an action to recover a balance of freight account received by the defendant, as broker for plaintiff; on a charter cn plaintiff's ship. the Euphrates. The action was originally brought to recover Xl3O, but there was a sutn paid into court, and the differ ence was left to be regulated by the verdict of the jury. Mr. Forsyth, 'Q C. and Mr. Quain appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Wilde, Q.O , and Mr. Burnie for the defendant. The plaintiff was Mr. William Wooliscrofr, shipowner, of Liverpool, and the defendant Mr. Caleb W. Watson, also of this town. It appeared that the defendant had entered into a charter party, on behalf of air. Schilizzi, merchant, of Liverpool, with the plaintiff for his ship the Euphrates, to go on a voyage to the Black Sea and back. It was stipulated, as usual in the charter party, that the defendant was to have five per cent. corn miseLn on that charter. It was contended, however, on the part of the plaintiff, that a subsequent agreement was made, by which, in consideration of an alteration in the vessel's route the defendant agreed to retn n 21 per cent. - to plaintiff. The defendant received the whole commis sion, but did re'urn the amount stated. The defence was, that there was no consideration for the second agreement. Evidence, documentary and otherwise, was gone into at great length. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for £5.3. HARGREAVES V. Tnosets.—Mr. Digby Seymour opened the pleadings, and Mr. Janes, Q C., stated the case. The learned counsel stated that the plaintiff, James Hargreaves, was the keeper of a place called the Britannia beerhouse, in Medlock-street, Manchester, and the defendant was one of the bailiffs of the Manches-er Court of Record. Upon the 10th of June, 1856, the plaintiff and his wife left their house and locked it up, leaving everything in a state of perfect security. On the 29th of June they were again in the house, and found that the furniture which they had left there was in the condition in which they had left them on the 10.11 of Zane. Upon the let of July, in conse quence of certain information which had reached them, they went to the house, and discovered that it had been broken open. Tne furniture had all been taken away ; • ilia fixture', of which there was a considerable amount, had been torn down in a reckless manner ; great damage do le to the house -itself, which was the property of the plaintiff, and various acts of mischief committed. Upon ciscavering this, and having some information given to him, on the :3rd of July, the plaintiff, who had previously consulted his attorney, went to the defendant's rooms. The defendant' besides being bailiff of the Man chester Record Court, likewise carried on business as an auctioneer, so that he was enabled to kill his birds outright himself When he seized goods in his capacity of bailiff, be sold them in his capacity of auctioneer, and thus had the whole benefit of the transaction. Upon arriving there -the plaintiff informed the defendant what his object was, but the defendant professed at the time to be very busy, .and told the plaintiff to come back at twelve o'clock, as he could not then attend to him. At that time the plaintiff sa* his goods in the front room, or at least the greater por tion of them, which had been taken from his premise. He went away and according to appointment came back at 12 o'clock. Matters were very much altered then, for, in the meantime, the goods which had been in some degree of order and easily recognisable, were removed into another room, where they were heaped together in the most indis criminate way, and could not save with considerable diffi culty be recognised and inventoried. The plaintiff claimed the goods, but the defendant said whoever was the owner of them, he would sell them, and sell them he did. He would not deliver them up, and they were actually. sold by auction. The learned counsel said he be loyal he could anticipate the defence which would be set up to this action. In June, 1855, it wou ld appear t h a t a person named Strafford, being a credit or o f the p l a i nt if brought an action against him. A compromise was entered into, according to which the plaintiff agreed to pay Straf ford by certain instalments. An execution had been put into the plaintiff's house prior to that arrangement, by the present defendant, the goods seized were,however, partly re stored to the plaintiff Some instalments were paid, but the plaintiff finally becoming embarressed in his circumstances, endeavoured to effect a compromise, in cyder that he might not give Strafford a preference ovor his other cre ditors. He went away, and locked up his house, for the very purpose of preventing his goods from being seized before he could .effect such an arrangement. For some reason he was .not able to effect this arrangement with S:rafford, and hence the defendant would, no doubt, en deavour to show that his otherwise utterly outrageous acts were justifiable under an execution, at the suit of the man Strafford, for the remainder of the amount due to him. The plaintiff, and other witnesses, were examined to prove the case opened by coon el. Mr. Overend, Q.O , who, with Mr. Wheeler, appears i for the defendant, denied that any breaking-in whatever took place. He stated that, iroceedioge having been taken by Mr. Strafford against the pleiatiff, a writ was put into the hands of Mr. Thomas and Mr. Hatton, officers of the Court of Record, to execute on plaintiff's property. On the morning in question, he contended that the door was partly open, and that the officer Hutton, before entering the honse, called the attention of a policeman to the feet that it was so open. The seizure was then made, and the learned counsel contended that under those circumstances it was a perfectly lawful transaction. Witnesses were called to prove the defence set up. Mr. James having re plied and his Lordship having summed up, the jury found a verdic, for the defendant. FITZPATRICK V. THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY C cuspAzirr.-21r. Mdlward opened the pleadings, and Mr. Pickering, Q.c., stated the case. The learned counsel said it was an action brought against the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company for an injury which had been done by an accident upon the railway to the plaintiff himself, and to some bullocks, his property. The plaintiff was a cattle dealer living in the queen's County, Ireland, and in the Course a his vocati on had come to this country with a large stock of cattle, which, having been landed in Liverpool, were conveyed to the different markets through out the country. It appeared that in April last th e plain tiff came over with 43 head of cattle, which he was go i ng to take to a place near Harrcwgate with the view of selling them. He started from Liverpool by the Lanca shire and Yorkshire Company's line upon the 25th of April. It seemed that the custom was, when there were a great many head of cattle and drovers going that the in to the were placed in trucks, and th e d r ov er s went the van along with the gun d. On this occasion there were eight other drovers besides the plaintiff; and the number of heads of cattle amounted altogether to 180-12 out of the 43 belonging to the plaintiff were placed in a truck next to the engine. After the cattle had been placed upon the wagon and the plaintiff had paid his money, one of the servants of the company came to him and handed him a ticket. It so happened that the plaintiff could neither read nor write, and he therefore asked what it Z 4014114 "Oh," the reply was, " you know," That was Defendants' Attorneys. all the answer he got. Afterwards seemed Out some of the drovers signed the ticket and some did not ; rand the plaintiff at that moment did not recollect whether he put his mark to it or not. After that he again asked - what it meant, and he was told by one of the company's servants that it meant that he was to run all the risks, and that if any accident happened to the cattle the company would not be responsible. He said that was no time to tell him, when his cattle were in and his money was paid, and that if they injured his cattle lie would make them pay, as he had done before. It was therefore pretty clear that he did not hold himself bound by any contract of that description. Tae train went on until it came to a place a little short of Leeds, where there was a junction and a siding. The guard here said the drovers could not sit any longer in the van along with hint, and that they must go into the different trucks along with the cattle. They did get into the different trucks, and the plaintiff went into the waggon next to that in which the twelve head of cattle spoken of before were placed. About two o'clock in the morning the waggons went right off the rail, in consequence, it was alleged, of the absence of the pointsman. It was then quite dark. The truck in which the twelve head of cattle were was turned right over, and the cattle received some serious injuries, so that some of them wore rendered unfit for sale The plaintiff himself received some injuries which, although at first he diehot pay much attention to them, turned out subsequently to be of a very serious nature. He received an injury to his 'spine, and when he got back to his own country, although he under went a course of medical treatment and tried sea-bathing, he did not recover, but got worse. From being a strong and active man, he could not now walk a mile, and he was compelled to employ another person to perform his business. Under these circumstances, the plaintiff sought to recover compensation for the loss and personal injuries he had sustained. When the plaintiff had been examined to prove the facts stated, the court adjourned. BOYS' CLOTRING MADE WITII GREAT TASTE At LEWIioSE COMPANY'S. Ranelw.Th stmet. Tun SHOOTING EDITORS CDTDONS.—The disgraceful street example of certain Louisville editors is contagious. We learn by the Journal that two Irishwomen. after indulging in personalities, a la Journal and Courier, resorted to pistols. One shot the other in the neck, hittiag the first fire, thus beating the chivalry, who missed nine shots in succession. besides practising all sorts of dodges.—Cleveland Herald. Cu..IOSITIEM OF THE RIITURNS OF MARRIAGE.—A girl of 15 was married to a boy of 15 ; six girls of 16 were married to youths of 16; a lad of 16 was married to a gill of 18. A widow of 17 laid aside lest- weeds for a second husband steed 17 ; while no less than 207 widows of 20 were wedded to bachelors of the same age. Two widowers of 25 forgot their griefs in a second union, one with a lass of 15. and the other with a girl of 16. A venerable widow of 80 was induced to re-enter the matrimonial state by a widower of the mature age of 60 ; and a spinster, who owns to 70 years, accepted the hand of a widower of 65. An old bachelor of 75 was converted to matrinonial views by the charms of a spinster of 60. An immense msjority of marriages takes pl ice at the age in both sexes of 20. Registrar-General. WET:up3.-0i the 14 h inst. there was a public auction, conducted by Mr. John Leslie, auctioneer and appraiser, of forty-one whales, which had been s'randed the day previous at Minn, in Burrs Isle. The blubbers sold at from £l6 to nearly 16 guineas per ton. The heads went et from 30s. to 405., in lots of fire each, varying in size. The crangs or carcases sold at nearly 40s. for the whole. A goodly number of spectators were on the ground, but perchavrs were few. This is the first occas'oa, to our knowledge, on which the crangs were sold so publicly, and at such high rates, for agricultural purpo - es in this quarter. Although this is the first capture in the present summer, report says that the sea surrounding the islands is teeming with these monsters, so that we may expect another of these stirring chases. We hope it may be so, as it will give good returns t) the captors, and contribute largely to the comforts of many who have been unsuc cassfel at the other tiihines.—John O'Groat Journal. Fresno.° A Fox, —On Monday last a man working in the Old Castle plan'ation, in Chevelry Park, had the cariosity to explore the large mound upon which the castle once stool, and, on examining the mouth of the well, was of opinion that something had fallen into it. He apprised Mr. Bell the head gamekeeper at the Park, who, with some more servants, ultimately aseert:ined that a fox, some short time before seen in the Park, must have fallen in. Ladders and ropes were procured, and Mr. Bell and his man were lowered to the bottom, a depth of upwards of forty feet, and having secured poor Reynard placed him in a sack and brought him safely oat. From the beaten condition of the b Atom of the well, and the fact of seven holes, six feet from the bottom, having been scratched round the walls, evideirly done by the poor animal en deavouring to climb up, it appeared tnat the fox must have been in the well upwards of a fortnigh`. Thera were some frogs and toads at the bottom of the well. but it is doubtful whether the fox had eaten anything, as he was in a dreadfully emaciated state. When sufficiently re covered from his present starved condition, Mr. Bell will turn him leose into the Park covers —4tamford Mercury. BEiOLIITIC CONDUCT OF A MAGISTRATE.—Upon Saturday Mr. J. Besnard, J. P., was proceeding down Market-street, towards the Brideweq, when he observed a notorious thief thrust his hand into a lady's pocket. The lady ineffectually endeavoured to seize him, but he escaped ; Mr. &sand immediately pursued him, and after a run through four streest, he being bard pressed, turned into Hirpurs-lane, and d sappearel. Calculating from the distance between them that he could nut have reached the second house, Mr. Besnard searched the first, and there found the exhausted delinquent hid behind a door. Having arrested him, he proceeded to bring the prisoner to the police office, and whilst upon his way an immense crowd collected manifesting, of coarse, the warmest sympathy for the thief and every disposition to prevent hts bein g taken. En couraged by such a manifestatio n , Ly nc h, a determined housebreaker, and who was only one week out of gaol, after an imprisonment of twelve months for a violent highway robbery, interfered to rescue the prisoner. In this effort however he counted without his host, for Mr. Bernard also arrested him, tied, in spite of the most violent struggles, succeeded in bringing his two captives the entire length of Castle-street, where at length a policeman was found, and they were placed in the dock; whilst there, the office being empty after the morning sitting, they assaulted the constable, and had very nearly overpowered him; but assistancehaving been procured, they were finally handcuffed. It is very discreditable to the lower classes of our community that not a single person was found at two o'clock in the day to second the magistrate in his courageous endeavour to capture there scoundrels. We take it forgranted that no gentleman witnessed the trail'. action or he would have acted upon the impulse of Field ingse saying " No one need blush to do that which will save an honest man, or bring a rog ue to th e ga ll ows ."—C or k Reporter. BOY'S CLOTHING MADE WITH GREAT TASTE, A►t LEWIS & COMPANY'S, Banelagh street. THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1857, POLICE INTE LLIGE /4C E. —Yara 'aut . . LIVERPOOL. DIM ..E MR. MANSFIELD. FXARFUL ATTACK ON A BLACK MAN.-21.71 intel ligent black man named Penigan, charged Thomas White, a shoe maker, living in Waterloo-road, with hiving nearly killed him by a blow of an axe on the head, on the 11th inst . From the evidence it appeared that on the evening of the 11th, the complainant, and some other " chaps," were pro ceeding along Vauxhall, when they were met by the pri soner, and some other "gentlemen," who cried out lick the " darkeys." A fight fillowed, and all sorts of weapons were used ; the prisoner struck complainant a heavy blow .of an axe on the heal, and he was confined in hospital ever since. Surgeon Davis said that there was an incised wound three inches long and cut into the bone, which was indented, and this led him to think that the man was right when he said the blow was given by an axe. The prisoner was sent for dial._ _ _ PUT OUT THE LIMIT, AND THEN . —Edward. Wilson, a lamplighter, charged two men named Neal Sinclair and David Watts,!painter., with having assaulted him and broken a lamp. The complainant said, about four o'clock on Monday evening he was cleaning a lamp in John's lane, when the prisoners came up to him and said he was a German, and had taken the bread out of their mouth, by painting lamps, and he not being a painter. Witness said he was not a 'Ferman, and he was not painting the lamp (which he had on the street,) as he was only cleaning it. The prisoner Sinclair swore only the Corporation law pro tected the witness he would knock his brains out, at the same time striking him and kicking in the lamp head, which he broke. The other prisoner squared at him to strike, but did not do so, being prevented. Sinclair was fined 10.1. ror the assault and 144 for the damage, or one month's impisonment ; the other prisoner was fined one or three days imprisonment. WIFE BEATING.—John -Harris, a clothes dealer, residing in Marybone, was sent to jail for six months for beating 'his wife, and at the expiration of that time to find bail to keep the peace, or in default to be imprisoned for six months additional. THE CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER —George Mourfor I, who was remanded on a charge of having killed a child n im.d Msgee, was brought up. In addition to the evi dence already given, some 'witnesses wore produce4 . who fully identified the prisoner as the driver of the cart Mr. Mansfield said, this is not an ordinary case of accident. It is a question for the jury, whether the accident took place in consequence of the prisoner's drunkenness—if it did (as there is a probability from the.evidence that it was so), the prisoner will clearly be guilty of manslaughter. He must therefore be sent to the next assizes fir trial. (A. coroner's jury in this case found a verdict of Acei dental death.") ANOTHER "RUCKSIIIN" AT TH3 POLICE COURT. In the course of a case that came before Mr. Man-field yesterday, at the morning sitting at the police clue, Mr. Clough,the chief superintendent of the detective department, asked a witness a question, when Mr. Cobb, who was the advocate in the case, objected to the superintendent exa mining a witness, and just as the case ended, Mr. Goodere rose and addressed the bench, saying that in consequence of an observation made by Mr. Clough regarding him, he wished to state that he would not allow the superintendent, nor any other man in existence, to use such language to him. He said he would pat a stop to any •' touting" here. He denied that "touting" was ever done for him. Any ob servation made regarding him should be made in public. Mr. Clough : Why, I did not speak to Mr. Goodere, nor of him. I said I would lock after the touters whom I saw about the court outside. Mr. Goodere Mr. Clough is in the habit of examining, and cross-examining ; but he ('t(r. Goodere), in future, would not allow a common police officer to act as an advocate, and if Mr. Clough attempted to cross-examine a witness again, he would lay an information against him, under the 611 and 7th Viet., and mike him pay the penalty. Mr. Cobb : So will I, if he acts so. Mr. Mans field : I think these remarks are most improper and uncalled for. You have no business to interrupt the court in the improper manner you have done. Mr. Clough is one of the ablest, most respectable, and valued officers in the force. It is my duty, if he does anything wrong, to look to it, but whilst he conducts himself to my entire satisfaction, I think these remarks of yours highly uncalled for. Mr. Goodere : What I have said was with the utmost respect for the Bench. Mr. Mansfield : Your tone and manner were by no means respectful, you used terms and made statements that were very improper, and you had no right to interrupt the business of the court in this way. Mr. Goodere was about to offer some further observations, but his Worship at once cat the affair short by ordering ithe business to be proceeded with. CORONER'S COURT. Yesterday the Coroner held the following inquests : On the body of Jane Carter, aged 49 years, who resided at 38, Hatfield•street. She was subject to a bad cough for a ion; time past. She was found dead in bed on Monday morning. Toe jury found a verdict of died of natural causes. • On the body of Owen Mackin, a dock labourer, who died in consequence of injuries be received by a fall into the Bandon Graving Dock from on board the Great Britain, having been thrown down by the falling of a bale of wool against him.

APPROACHING MARRIAG2 IN THE HIGHER LATITUDES. —One of the aged freemen recently elected to fill o3e of the cottages on the Freeman's C3MMID, being of the ma ture age of ninety-five, and feeling himself lonely at the Knighton Gate, is about to espouse a grave lady of the age of eighty-eight. Should she be the longer liver, being a freemen's widow, she will be entitled to a rever sion in the eotfage and pension under the act of parliament. —Leioester Mercury. fiza MAresTv's " Moaximo."—The Queen of the Belgians had told her molter that the Queen always drank a glass of iced water at ten o'clock ; in consequence of which one of the attendants at that hour broeght her a waiter, on which were a dec enter and two glasses, but this she declined, an lit was placed on a table. The Q seen of the French saw this, and guessing the reason, told the Prince de J )inville to pour out a glass, and offer it to her Majesty, which 1p did, and it was forthwith accepted. Thee came Lord LiverpoJl, wh) had not observed this, hurrying in with another glass of water, but it was too late for the exemise of his pat.—Journal of T. Raikes. Tuts IfoinAvtAx ELEcrums —Telegraphic despatches from Constlntinople announce thi reccip , , by the British and Austrian Ambassadors, of the fresh instructions from their resp'ctive governments, by which they are ordered to demand of the Porte conjointly with the representatives of the other four Powers, that the Moldavian elections should be annulled. It is added, that before obeying these orders, the two Ambassadors thought it their duty to make a fresh representation to their Courts. There ap pears not the least doubt of the sat'sfactory arrangement of the affair, the Sultan having declared his willingness to conform to the decision of the six Powers as socn as that should be nnaninvms. It seems pretty certain that Kepriali Pasha will be Vizier. This bias is decidedly French. I am assured that the French Government's latest instructions to M. Thouvenel are to be as concilia tory as possible in his manner of transacting business, and carefully to spare the susceptibilities of Lord Stratford and Baron Prokescb. Tgs New &ALUM GOLD FIELDS.--By the last advioes from Nelson it would appear that the population is flocking from the other provinces to the Aorere gold fields, which, if it does not aff)rd such " stunning" yields as those of Victoria, at least enables the generality of diggers to obtain a fair wage for their labour. Men who are both willing and able to work are, in the great majority of cases so far successful as t 3 pursue their work cheerfully, and to be well satisfied with their earnings. Many of the diggers are making, it is reported, front £1 103 to £2 a day, while the earnings of others are much less. Upwards of 600 persons are represented as being at work, and the Wellington papers present us with many adver tisements of cutters and schooners bound for the auri. ferons and more attractive side of Cook's Strait. As at the other gold &ids the prices of provisions at Aorere have risen to a golden figure. Flour was quoted at £35 a ton ; potatoes scarce at 9s per ewt.;*, and mutton 103 per quarter. At LEWIS & COMPANY'S, Ranelagh street, BOYS are CLOTIIED from the Ages of 6 to 20 Tears) THE CLIPPER aHIP LIGHTNING AT GRAVESEND. GRAND DEJEUNER, ON MONDAY. The enterprise and energy of Liverpool merchants have always been made available in the crisis of war; and the service performed by our mercantile marine—and more es pecialy by the noble ships frequenting our port—during the late obstinate struggle with RliSia • were of the most essential importance to the interest and success of our armies. Now th it we are at war with another enemy, even more distant from our shores, the Government and the East India Company are displaying their wisdom by chartering the finest and the fleetest ships for the conveyance of troops to the scene of action. Messrs. James Baines, and Co., have been singularly honoured by the Beard of, Control, for, after having chosen two of the Black B all Line of Australian ' clipper ships, they have now taken up a third—the Lightning. The Lightning is familiar to the Mersey, and would in our river only excite a moderate share of the wonder bestowed upon those " huge leviathans of the deep;" but in the Thames it becomes a matter of great interest and moment. This may perhaps be attributable to something more than the symmetrical beauty or vast proportions of the vessel itself, for it is destined to carry to a campaign, the duration or ferocity of which cannot yet be foreseen, a considerable number of British seldiers ready to endure the toils of a sanguinary war, or the worse horrors of a pestilential climate. Yesterday it, embarked depots from the Bth (the King's), 16th, 29th, 32nd, 35th, 53rd, 60th (rifles, Ist battalion), 75th, 82 id, and 84th. Anxious to do healer to the interesting occasion, the Messrs. Baines determined to hold a grand dejsaner on board their favourite clipper, now stationed at Gravesend; land, with that view, invitations were sent out to the following distinguished persons : The Duke c f Cambridge, E trl of Ellenhorough, E trl of Harrowby, E of Hard wicke, Earl of Cardig in, Lord Par_ mere, l‘Ljor-General HO).

Early yesterday afternoon it was telegraphed from the War-Office that the Duke of Cambridge would, in all probability, attend, but:his Royal Highness was subsequently prevented, in consequence of being called to the distribution of some military colours at Shorncliffe. Doubtless some of our readers will feel interested in knowing the dimensions and some of the performances of the good ship Lightning. She was built by Donald Mackay, of Boston, in the spring of 1854 ; her length from stem to stern is 246 feet ; her extreme breadth, 44 feet ; and depth, 24 feet. She is 2,036 tons builders' measurement, and 1,463 tons new register. Her poop is 92 feet long, and the saloon 86 feet ; the latter is elegantly fitted up with paintings on glass and china; it has more the appearance of a gentleman's drawing.room than a ships' cabin; the decorations alone cost upwards of £2,000. There are ten commodious family state-rooms, and ten rooms for single persons ; a first-rate piano is also provided for the use of the passengers. Her 'tween• deck accommodation for second-class and intermediate passengers is 176 feet long, 40 feet broad, and eight feet high, which is the loftiest of any ship afloat. She carries 36,000 gallons of water—or about 160 tons—in iron tanks. Her height of mainmast, from deck to truck is 157 feet, and her main-yard is 93 feet long. The total cost of this magnificent vessel was 1:30,000, and her performance cpite justify this large sum paid for her by her spirited and enterprising owners. She sailed from Liverpool on her first voyage to Aust - alia, on the 14th May 1854, and arrived back on the 23r1 of October, m sking the voyage in five months and eleven days—the passage home being the shortest on record, viz., sixty-three days, thus avera Ting 240 nautical miles per day. Her passages out have baen respectively seventy-six, severity-two, eighty, sixty-eight, and six eight days; and home -s'x y-three, eighty, eighty-three, and eighty-three days, Her greatest tray's run was 430 nautical miles, or about eighteen knots an hour, and she ran, in seven consecutive days, 2,188 knots. The greatest rue she hag ever made in 24 hours, by observation, was on the 27th February, 1855, and amounted to 390 knots, equal to 445 statute miles, being an average of 161 knots, or 19 miles per hour, during the whole day. At the same time, in eight consecutive days, she ran 2,158 knots. Daring her last voyage but one, in seven consecutive days, from 28th June, to 4th July, 1856, she ran, by ob-ervation, 2,188 kn,ts, or 2,553 statute miles, being an average, during the week, of 13 knots, or rather more than 15 statute miles per hour ; and in the last 25 days of the voyage, she ran 6,958 knots, or 8,118 statute miles, (1,000 miles mo - e than twice the distance from Liverpool to New Yerk), being an average of 11 knots, or 13,-r, statute miles during the whole time. We believe the records of the performance of clipper ships show no parallel to thi?. Her shortest passoge from Liverpool to Melbourne was her last but one-68 days 10 hours—and her quickest passage borne was the first she ever made, and was accomplished in 63 days. The following parricalars of the speed of the Lightning on her last homeward passage are interesting : DISTANCE SAILED IC tCH MEEK.

Shortest ditto The Lightning yesterday displayed gay bunting from the truck to the deck, and the beautiful vessel altogether wore a pleasant holiday appearance. Shortly after two o'clock in the afternoon, the company, numbering about a hundred, having all arrived on board, a cold collation of the most superb description was served up in the 'tween decks, Mr. Mackay occupied the chair, and Mr. Baines the vice. After the repast had been concluded, The Chairman said : -It is a very amiable phase in our nation, that wherever Englishmen meet on any festive occasion, that their first impulse, after thanking Gad for their creature comforts, is to drain a bumper to the health of their Queen. Nov, if this holds true on ordinary occasions, with how much more enthusiasm will you now drink to the toast within these wooden walls which, ere sunset to-mm)w, will be filled by our gallant countrymen who are going to the East to vindicate the supremacy of her Crown. The toast was drunk with all the honours. The Chairman next said—l am sure nothing that I can say will enhance the esteem felt for the Prince Consort by the English nation. His position at first was a most deli cate one, but his own solid worth and homely wisdom has earned him a pllce in English history that all might envy. I trust that the children may all inherit their parent's virtues. If they do, whaever in the providence of Gad mounts the throne, will find that they, like their excellent mother, will stultify the poet's adage, "that uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." Indeed, we all prize every member of the royal family so much, tLat I may b 3 per mitted to change the usual toast and drink to the Prince Consort and the 8100 l Royal of England. This toast was warmly responded to. _ _ The Chairman said—lt would indeed require an utter ance to which I have no claim to do justice to the toast of the "Tbe Army and Navy." Whatever diff,r eine of opinion may exist as to the detail of their admi nistration, there is none about our confidence in them in the hour of trial. We feel that, " though their swords are ten thousands, their bosoms are one." They are true to the last of their blood and their birth, And like reapers descend to the harvest of death. It is true that . the foe which they have now to contend with is only the cruel, merciless, and treacherous Sepoy ; and I believe the most merciful command, at such a time, is "Smite--smite—smite !" till the dead alcrm the dead, for the British Lion can and must crush the Bengal tiger. But at the same time let us not forget that those unfortunate people have never had the light of our glorious Gospel brought home to their minds, and while exacting the mist signal reparation for their atrocities, let us evidence our Christian principle by tempering judg ment with mercy, not forgetting that the God whom we adore has said. " Vengeance is mine, I will repay." There is not a soldier now afhat that will long ere he reaches India have heard of the glories of Plessey, Assay°, Meanee and Hyderabad, and live in the hope they may see the name of Campbell added to those of Clive, Wellington, and Napier. God grant it ; and when we see among them those on whose breasts hang the medals for their glorious deeds at Alma, Inkeiman, and Sebastopol, rest assured that those whom the horrors of the Crimea could not paralyse, will not quail tinder the fiery sun of Hindostan. I couple with the toast the names of Colonel Elea and Captain Schomberg. (Applause.) Colonel Eden briefly acknowleJged the compliment on behalf of the army. Captain Schoenberg said : Ladies and gentlemen, for the navy I have the honour to return you thanks, more especially at this time when the army is going forth to fight our battles. I hope I may say for the navy they are always ready for peace or war when called upon, and I hope in whatever circumstances, however difficult, they w 11 be well worthy of the toast now drunk. (Cheers.) The Chairman then said—lt is a fortunate thing that the indignation of John Ball rare!) , assumes a more dangerous form than a good honest grumble, and far better this than raising barricades, or popping at your neighbours across the street, like our more warlike friends across the channel. Well, I need scarcely tell you that the Directors of the East Iddia Company are at present enjoying all the benefit of the British safety valve. Luckily, however, there is noble substitution of jasece in our wrath, and when we discover we have made a mistake, the reaction is stronger than the fit. It is not quite six months ago since the East India Company was one of the most wonderful facts in English history. Nay, it was our chief pride to point out the wisdom and moderation of our great merchant princes' rule in India, which for a hundred years has been increas ing in wealth and prosperity. Be in a moment a change came over the spirit of our dream, and what no ono foreseen, save the prescience of that wonderful man Sir C. Napier, is now converted into a crime against the Directors. To my mind it appears like a fire in a joiners shop. When the first spark was lit, if it had been trampled out firmly and decisively we might have lived on for another hundred years, but the elements of combustion were at hand, and once it gat head it buret into a conflagration, which has now a mo,t alarming appearance, bet when the bond of cohesion is cat asunder, will sink down beneath the onward tread of the European. Sorrow may endure for a while, but rest assured that the result will be to consolidate the B,itish rule on the ruins of Hindoo fanaticism and Mahonedan snaerstition. With this toast I associate the name of Mr. Mason. (Applause.) Mr. Mason, H.E.1.0 S., said—M.r. Chairman. I feel myself deeply indebted to you, sir, for the kind manner in which you have singled me out to respond to the toast which has been so cordially drank, for the Hon. E.I.C. Sir, the E.I.C. is a curious body, as you indicated in the commencement of your speech. I regret, sir, that there is no one, crttioelly speaking, belonging to the Hon. M.O. constitutionally present here to-day to hear the speech that you have made, a❑d to respond to it in a becoming manner. I may, therefore, sin take upon myself to say, that the chairman of the E.[ C. had commissioned his private secretary, my young friend on my left, to state for him— and I believe he did state—in fact, I heard him say, that he felt great regret that the pressure of public business prevented him being here to-day. (Hear, hear.) I take this opportunity of saying this much, as you have been kind enough to i lentify me with the Hun. E.1.C., I will not venture to follow you throughout what you have so kindly said about the Company— t would ill become me so to do. And, now, sir, I may say, that the Hon. East India Company, is the prop3rty of histo-y, and history has literally done that great b ,dy justice, and indeed I have not the slightest doubt under all the circum stances than, and he would not be behind hand -in giving the Hon. Company its .due—(hear, hear)—he would not be behind hard in lashing her if she had not done her duty. I speak in the female sense, for lam old enough to recollect when the Company had what is called a " hus band." (Laughter.) lam sure she will not be sparing of praise if by the exertions we are now in some degree met to celebrate, they turn out auspicious. (Cheers.) Sir, it has been said, and truly said, that India is the brightest jewel in the British crown, and rest assured that those members to whom the brightest jewel has been entrusted, and still remains entrusted, will never be suffered to be in the slightest degree tarnished. Sir, the exertions which the H.E.I. C 3. have made to seal out troops, it has been, I may say, their good fortune to have among their transports two very splendid vessels. We have now the pleasure of being on board the third which it has been their good fortune to take up, and I am quite satisfied that those gallant sons of England that have been destined to go out in those magnificent vessels, will have a splendid passage—that they will have every comfort that can be afforded to them throughout the whole of their journey, and that they will be landed in India, I em satisfied, so far as the enterprising and energetic owners of tie Black Ball Line can manage, and is the least possible time, and in the best condition. (Cheers, and hear, hear.) Sir, I am quite sa tisfied, if it were possible, the present colonel of the regi ment to the private soldier that they would express their thanks if it were correct in them to do to for the manner in which ample provision for their comfort has been made on board this splendid clipper. If it wore possible now for them to givo expressim to their feelings, I am sure it would b 3 in one unanimous vote of thanks for the very great care that has been taken to meet all their requirements. (Bear, hear.) And, therefore, sir, it is due to the spirited owners of this most excellent vessel that I should, in some measure, reciprocate their kindness to our countrymen about to sail on a long voyage, by proposing " Success to the Black Ball Line of Liverpool and Australian ex Royal Mail Packet-ships," and I have particularly to request that this highly influential and numerous company will join wi:h me in drinking this toast with all the honours due to it. The toast was drunk with the ut nost:*enthusiasm and bursts of cheering repeated in succession, and loudly tes tified the gratitude that was felt towards Messrs. James Baines & Co. for the admirable arrangements on board the Lightning. Mr. James Baines, on rising to respond, was greeted with loud cheers. He said : Mr. Chairman, for the very kind terms in which Mr. Mason has proposed, anti ladies and gentlemen, for the c rdial manner in which you have drunk success to the ;Black Ball line, I beg to return you my grateful acknowledgments. It would, indeed, be pure affectation on my part if I professed not to feel a degree of pride in the line of packet-ships with which I have the honour to be connected in, and on board of one of which you are now assembled. (Applause.) And I think you will feel with me that our line, at least, is an exception to the prophecy of those who, when we entered the Australian trade, and had shipping constructed by old and well-known builders, said that we should never succeed. (Hear, hear.) When we had our ships built, they were looked on as the very romances of navigation, but I think the period has arrived when even those who were against us Rill admit that we were right in our views, and that consequently they were in error in theirs. (Hear, hear.) It requires a person to have a knowledge of emigrant ships of former days to enable them to appre ciate the benefit that the emigrant now receives by embarking on board such a ship as that in which we are now met. It would, indeed, be wrong in me to take entirely the credit to our firm for the very many improve ments that have been effected in this an I other ships of our line. We are very much indebted to the emigration officers at the port of Liverpool, and especially to Capt. Schomherg, for many, very many of the improvements and the comforts that have been introduced on board, not only on our own ships, but those of other lines sailing from the port of Liverpool. To the East India Company, in having honoured us with their confidence in taking up three of our ships, we feel most deeply grateful, and are proud of the distinc , ion conferred upon us. (Cheers.) Nothing has been, or will be left undone on our part, to contribute to the safe and comfortable conveyance of so many of our brave countrymen, to uphold the dignity of our Sovereign in the East—(loud cheers)—and I hope in a few short months we shall have such news as will prove that the Hon. East India Company were not wrong in placing their confidence in us. (Loud cheers.) The Chairman : Permit me, by way of supplementing my partner's remarks, to observe one fact which shows you what energy can and will do. Donald 111-Kay was in our office in Liverpool on the 7th of September, and this vessel, on board of which you now are, was ready to be launched at the Christmas following—(cheers)—after he had to make his passage to Besto , and there make all his arrangements, and the drawingswand plans for her construction. (Cheers.) I am jealous of this subject, for, although Donald APRIL) , hails now from Boston, he was by birth a British subject, and I discovered a short time ago that he was of Scotch connection—(laughter)— our common parent having been hanged about 150 years ago for the gentlemanly accomplishment of sheep-stealing. (Roars of laughter.) Captain Schomberg, R.N., said : Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, I am before you to-day to perform a very pleasing duty —one that in the whole of my life time I have never before had to carry out. Captain Enright, I have been requested by the cabin passengers of the Lightning, on your last voyage to Melbourne, to present to you a token of their grateful remembrance and respect. Yon have been hurried away from Liverpool, so that I have been unable to fulfil my duty to you there—in the Mersey. I have followed you to the Thames, to prove to you that it is no small gratification to a captain in the British Royal Navy to present a captain in the mercan tile navy who has circumnavigated the globe in uniform success and great skill in the grateful acknowledgement of those whose lives were in your hands. (Hear, hear, cheers.) With your permission, ladies and gentlemen, I will now draw your attention to the sentim e nts of cabin pusengers In the Lightning on her last outward voyage, wfrhoinichthheaßulevb.el 15, : Ship Lightning, off Melbourne, AP e m en r. conveyed lieedham ns in the following Fr Cant.
