The guardians then proceeded to distribute out-door relief to the paupers of the town ship. Cheques were drawn for this purpose to the amount of £l2O. The Clerk stated that an agree ment had been come to between Messrs. Kelshaw and Stonehouse, as to the sewerage of the new workhouse. The Clerk read the following letter from Messrs. Whitley and Thompson : " Gentlemen, Your medical officers have consulted us as to their position with you, and we have advised them that you are responsible for their salaries to the end of the year, on the 27th day of September next; and as you have discharged them without notice and refused their services, we are directed to apply to you for the amounts due to them as at foot, and in case we have no satisfactory reply to our application, we are directed to take legal proceedings for the .several [amounts. We believe, however, on consulting your legal advisers, you will find that our view of the law is correct, and we shall be spared the necessity of interfering farther in the matter. Mr. Alfred Stephens, £B7 10s. ; Mr. Barnabas Barrett, £93 15s. ; Dr: Ewing Whittle, £l3l 55." Mr. John Wilson moved that the letter lie on the table. Mr. Johns thought that the clerk should take the opinion of their legal adviser on the subject. Mr. Cleaver replied that he had done so. Mr. Harrison moved that the clerk should acknowledge the receipt of the letter. Mr. Baynes seconded the motion, which was agreed to. This concluded the business. A NEW TYPE-COMPOSING MACHINE.—On Wednesday several gentlemen were invited to 41 private view of a new type-composing machine, in practical operation in the printing establishment of Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, Whitefriars, London. The machine is the invention of Mr. Robert Hattersley, of Manchester, and seems to be simple in construction and efficacious for its purpose. The letters are arranged in rows on a table, and by pressure on a key the desired letter is made to pass down a grove and into a "composing stick." A compositor was at work upon it, and though he stated that he had only used the machine three days, he appeared to thoroughly understand it, and to use it with the greatest ease. lie stated that he could compose and "justify" a " stick of matter" in seventeen minutes, the time ordinarily employed to perform that opera tion being thirty minutes. He further stated that he could "set up" 3,600 letters an hour, but that, with a little more practice, he thought he could do s,ooo—the ordinary rate of oomposition by hand being about 2,000 an hour. One advantage of the machine which was pointed out was, that the mistakes are less liable to occur in sitting up the type than by manuel composition, and consequently less time is spent in correcting. A GOOD WIFE.—In the Recollections of William ,Tay, of Bath, by his Son, the following is given as Mr. Jay's description of his first wife : " I was always desirous and anxious to be a good husband, nothing in my estimation and. remarkings ever being able to atone for the want of consis tency and excellence here, especially in a minister. But I must have been one of the basest of men had I not always endeavoured to act worthily towards the wife of my youth, to whom I was under so many obligations. It was she who contributed to give me that exalted idea of the female character which I have always enter tained and expressed. She excluded perfectly . the entrance of every notion and feeling of submission or authority, so that we had no rights to adjust or duties to regulate. She possessed every requisite that could render her a helpmate. Her special qualities were admir ably suited to my defects. Her domestic virtues rendered my house a complete home—the abode of neatness, order, punctuality, peace, cheerfulness, comfort, and attraction. She calmed my brow when ruffled by disappointment and vexation; she encouraged me when depressed ; she kept off a thousand cares, and left me to attend to the voice of my calling ; she reminded me of my engagements when I was forgetful, and stimulated me when I was remiss, and always gently enforced the present obligation, as the duty of the day required." THE ROYAL CHARTER. —The Liverpool and Australian Navigation Company's celebrated steam-clipper Royal Charter arrived off Queenstown on Wednesday, at 2 a.m., after a splendid run of 64 days, and anchored in the river yesterday morning. The Royal Charter left Hobson's Bay 31st January; rounded the Horn 21st .February, 22 days; crossed the line 14th March. She ran 4,079 knots average per day, being 300 miles, and her greatest day's run 396 miles. She brought the following passengers : Mr. Pender gast, Mr. Breageman, Mrs. Goldring, five children and ser vant, Mr. Laglaise, Mr. A. W. Schahlcraft and Mrs. Schahlcraft, Mr. Noble, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Jordan, Mr. Williams, Mrs. Lawrence and two children, and 169 second and third-class passengers. The following addresses were presented to the captain and officers by the passengers on board the Royal Charter : Liverpool, 6th April, 1859. " Dear sir,—We, the undersigned saloon passengers by the s.s. ship Royal Charter, of which you have the command. having, by the good providence of God, arrived at the port of our destination, in safety and in health, are desirous of expressing to you our grateful acknowledgments for your uniform kindness and attention to us during the voyage which has just terminated. It affords us pleasure to be able to speak in the highest terms of the gentlemanly bearing of your officers, of the order, punctuality, and cleanliness ob served in every department of the vessel, and of the boun tiful table provided throughout the voyage. With hearty wishes for your happiness, and the success of the noble ves sel in your charge, —We are, dear sir, yours respectfully, [Signed by all the passengers.] " To T. Taylor, Esq., Commander s.s. ship Royal Charter." "Dear Sir,—We, the undersigned third-class and steer age passengers of the Royal Charter, beg to express our satisfaction at the arrangements made for our health and comfort, and for the general good treatment we have received at your hands during our passage of 64 days from Melbourne to Liverpool. Wishing you a continuance of success, we are, yours, &c., [Signed by all the passengers.] "To T. Taylor, Esq., Commander s.s. ship Royal Charter." DEATH ON BOARD THE AKBAR.—INQUEST AT ROCK FERRY. Henry Churton, Esq., one of the coroners for Cheshire, held an adjourned inquest at Mr. Crafter's, Derby Arms Hotel, Rock-ferry, on view of the body of Joseph Marsden, fifteen years of age, a boy on board the reformatory ship Akbar, lying off Rock-ferry. As stated in our paper of yesterday, there were all sorts of rumours about this unfor tunate affair, and although nothing transpired yesterday to throw any light, for the present, on the subject, the rumours about the death were increased, and no doubt exaggerated. At present we only give the evidence already taken by the learned coroner. This testimony, so far as it goes, speaks for itself, and until the inquiry concludes it would be injudicious to say anything more about it. The following evidence was taken previously by Mr. Churton :--Captain Fenwick, the master of the vessel, stated that, on the 19th February, the boy was received on board in a bad state of health, but he was able to go through his duties up to Monday. He reported the case of deceased to the committee at Liverpool, and on his return on Monday he found the deceased on the after-deck, looking stupid. He said he would send for the doctor, but if the lad would confess to him that he was feigning he would forgive him. The boy said he had been " shamming," but could help it, and almost immediately after he became ill ; the witness felt his pulse, which bad been previously good, but had now decreased to 30 pulsations a minute ; he gave him port wine, and had him put into a warm bath. He sent for the surgeon of the Hastings, who directed mustard applications, and the wine to be continued. The lad had great difficulty in breathing, and frothed at the mouth. Surgeon Roper (of the Akbar) came at eight o'clock, and examined the deceased, but could not tell what was the matter with him. At half-past eleven the same evening (Monday), he found the boy . had ceased to breathe ; he was perfectly sensible during the whole of his illness, and only complained of a pain in his head. The deceased received corporal punishment once ; on Sunday he received six cuts over the breech with a cane ; his trousers were on at the time. [Dr. Roper and Dr. Wood of the Hastings had made a post mortem examina tion of the body, but in consequence of the absence of these gentlemen, the inquest was adjourned till . Tuesday next at half-past three o'clock, and the jury requested the coroner to have the boatswain who inflicted the punishment present and also the punishment book, in which the entry Ws made. The coroner gave directions to the police, to have all persons and things, necessary for elucidation of the case, present on Tuesday, and then the inquest was adjourned to half-past three o'clock on Tues day. The excitement increased as the evening wore on, and the jury intimated that as there were all sorts of rumours about the case, they were determined to have a full investigation of the whole affair. QUEEN'S COLLEGE, IRELAND.—SinCO the establishment of these colleges, in 1856, the various sums expended on them from the Consolidated Fund, and voted by the House of Commons, amount to £266,516 8s 11d, exclusive of the expenses of building the colleges. The cost of building them was £lOO,OOO, and repairs and additions during the last nine years amounted to upwards of £13,000. For the most part all this immense outlay from the public funds has been unproductive, since, up to the present time, no more than 425 students of these colleges have graduated at the Queen's University. BREAKING THE NEWS GENTLY.—During the summer of 1849, a Mr. James Wilson, of West Jersey, died of cholera while some fifty miles from home. John Rogers was employed to convey , the body in a waggon to his friends and home. By inquiry he learn e d th e p r ecise house of the deceased. On driving to the door, he called to a respecta bly appearing lady, who was, in fact, the newly-made widow, and asked, " Does Mr. Wilson live here ?" " Yes," was her reply, "but he is not at home to-day." "I know he's not at home now, but he will be very soon, for I've . got him herb dead la the w'aggon,"--.•itnericon .31o.senger.

Bank Shares, 28.40. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. PARIS, Wednesday.—We are still left to conjec ture on the great question of the day—peace or war.. On one hand it is declared that, as Austria has insisted upon Piedmont disarming as a preliminary condition to her entering the Congress, Piedmont manifests no such intention, and probably will not unless under considerable pressure, war is inevitable. This feeling, I believe, exists at the French Foreign office, and is shared by some of the highest func tionaries. The uneasiness of Ministers I do not set much value on. Cabinet Councils are but a pleasant way of passing an hour or so; or, if any thing like business is done, it is not of a serious description. It is known that the Emperor seldom thinks it necessary to consult his Council on any important project he has in petto. Whatever be the real object for which Ministers are kept, I believe affairs of State do not enter for much in. their duties. To neutralise, in some measure, the apprehension in certain official quarters, we learn, on the other hand, that the contentment which M. Cavour expressed after his interviews with the Emperor was anything but real. Indeed, it would appear that he left this in no very enviable frame of mind —disappointed, disheartened, and all but disgusted. To one of his intimates he is reported to have said that; as Piedmont was not to be admitted to the Congress, he had the satiSfaction of knowing 'that on his return to Turin he could at any time apply the match to the pile, and force France to join him. Be this true or not, M. Cavour has probably the terrible elements of conflagration at his command, and there is little doubt that, unfortunately, he can do much mischief. Yet he may ove-calculate his strength. He counted to a certainty on an in surrection in Lombardy following the conscrip tion and the change in the currency ; and if he is not much wronged, his friends did their best to promote it. He --was disappointed then, as he may again be disappointed. So much deception has, however, been practised lately, that we may well doubt hether M. Cavour's satisfaction, or. discontent, is not affected ; and whether he is not playing the hypocrite—a character which, from the original frankness of his nature, he probably . plays more ,pwkardly than others to whom it is long habipicils What passed between him and the Em perorlri their tote-ci-Mtp interviews is known but to themselves. The Piedinontese Government care much less for the regeneration of Italy, Central or Southern, than for aggrandizement; and if Lombardy eonld he torn from Austria any pretext would serve. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 2nd have arrived. In the Senate the members who had abandoned their seats on account of the Callonge affair had, in accor dance with their recent resolution, resumed them. On taking his place, General Callonge requested the President to have certain of the standing orders read, which was done. M. Luzuriaga then observed that the object of the request could be no other than to create doubts as to the legality of the decision respecting the General adopted at a recent sitting. The General said that the hon. Senator had no right to judge what his motives were, and the Senate, declining to reopen the matter, proceeded to other business, and adopted the Bill fixing the strength of the army. In the Chamber of Deputies,' M. Rivero, the sole member of the Ultra-Democratic party, had notified his intention to propose, a vote of censure on the ministers for their general policy. As the standing orders require that every motion shall be signed by at least seven members, six members of the Pro gressist party had joined M. Rivero, in order to enable the motion to be discussed. It is stated in the Espana, that the Pope was informed by tele graph, of the refusal of the Senate to try the charge of embezzlement against M. Santaella, and of the determination taken by the Government to leave it to be dealt with by the ecclesiastical tribunal; and it adds that his Holiness was so pleased that he sent a telegraphic despatch to the Queen, warmly con gratulating her Majesty, and expressing thanks to Heaven. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE NORTH BRITON. The steamer North Briton has arrived . here from Portland, with dates from New York to the 25th, Boston the 26th, and Portland the 27th ult. A telegraphic despatch from Halifax, dated the 24th, announces that neither the Niagara or Alps steamers, from Liverpool, had arrived. The political news by this arrival is quite devoid of interest. _ . A writer at Washington, on the 24th ult., says " Much concern has recently been manifested by several of the foreign ministers regarding the Arizona emigration movement, and it has been stated that the Administration is opposed to it, on the surmise that it is connected with General Walker ; but the assurance is given that such is not the case, and, as a consequence, the opposition which was raised against the expedition has ceased. As it is claimed, the Administration cannot be adverse to legitimate colonisation in the United States, a company of emigrants is forming in Washington." Later news had been received at New York from Havannah and Mexico. The dates from Havannah are to the Bth ult. Sugar was inactive. The stock on hand was 200,000 boxes. The difficulty between the banks and the planters continues. A conference has been proposed. Miramon was still marching on Vera Cruz, where the garrison was reported as small and disaffected. Zacatecas and Leon had been evacauted by the Liberalists. Gayoza holds Degol lado in check near the City of Mexico. The Canadian advices mention that a bill for the incorporation of the Transatlantic Telegraph Com pany had been introduced in Parliament by the Hon. Mr. Dorion, It provides for a line from Quebec via Labrador, with a capital of $1,000,000, which may be increased to $5,000,000. The work is to be commenced • within one year, and completed to Labrador within three years. The Californian mails, by the steamer Quaker City, had reached New York. The news has been anticipated by a previous arrivaLhere. The commercial advices from New York report the stock market as very steady, and prices tending towards an advance. The demand for Exchange on London was not very active, but the quotations were firm at 1091. There had been no change in the 1 money market. - NEW YORK MARKETS. ASHES : The market is steady for both kinds, COTTON : The market is firmer and very active, especial].) for in transitu, lots ; the trade ou the spot is moderate at full prices ' • sales of 18,000 bales, including 14,700 bales in tram situ.

Fine qualities are less active, but the supply is light and prices rule high. Tar is inactive, but is firmly held at 50c to $2 750' for shipping qualities of Washington and Wilmington. Oils Linseed is in limited request, and the bear party have succeeded in lowering prices. Crude whale is a little more active ; sale& of 350 brls at the East (oil three years old) at 55c cash, and 300 do.

FIGHTING ON EQUAL TERMS.—In Georgia, Judge T., a celebrated duelist, who had lost his leg, and who was known to be a dead shot, challenged Colonel D., a gentleman of great humour. The - friends tried to prevent the meeting, but to no effect. The parties met on the ground, when Colonel D. was asked if he was ready. " No," he replied. "What are you waiting for, then ?" inquired Judge. T.'s second. "Why, sir," said Colonel D. "I have sent my boy into the woods to hunt a bee gum to put my leg in, for I don't intend to give the judge any advantage oven me. You see he has .a wooden leg.", The whole party roared with laughter, and the thing was so ridiculous that it broke up the fight. Colonel D. was afterwards told that it would sink his reputation. " Well," he replied, "it can't sink me lower than a bullet can." "But," urged his friedds, " the papers will be filled about you." " Well," said he, " would rather fill fifty papers than one coffin." No one ever troubled the Colonel after that. PLAYING CARDS TIM' ORIGIN OP PRINTING.—It must not be forgotten that it is partly to the use of playing cards that we owe the invention which has been justly regarded as one of the greatest benefits granted to mankind. The first cards, as we have seen, were painted with the hand.. They were subsequently made more rapidly by a process called stencilling---that is, by cutting the rude forms through a piece of pasteboard, parchment, or thin metal; which, placed on the cardboard intended to receive the impression, was brushed over with ink, or colour, which passed through the cut out lines, and imparted the figure to the material beneath. A further im provement was. made by cutting the figure on blocks of wood, and: literally printing them on the cards.. These card-blocks are supposed to have given the first idea of woo&engraving. When, people saw the. effects of cutting the figures of, the cards,upon blocks,,, they began to cut figures of saints on blocks. in the same manner, and then applied the method to other subjects, cutting in like manner the few words of necessary explanation.. This prac tice further expanded itself into what are called block books, consisting of pictorial subjects, with copious explanatory text. Some one at length bit upon the idea of cutting the pages, of a regular book on so many blocks of wood, and taking impressions on paper or vellum, instead of writing the manuscript; and this plan was soon further improved by cutting letters or words on separate pieces of wood, and setting them up together to form pages. The wood was subsequently superseded by metal ; and thus origi nated the noble art of printing.—Art Tourng. MR. COBDEN AT BUFFALO.—Richard Cobden was at Suspension-bridge, Sunday, on his way to Illinois. The Buffalo Commercial says :—" It is regretted by many of our citizens that lie could not visit Buffalo. He was here many years ago, and his leading . recollection of the place is that of being ushered at night into a bedroom where about thirty-five men raised up their head at his entrance. There was one spare bed, whieh the host assigned to Mr. Cobden, who explained that as an Englishman, he had his prejudices —one of them being allin The host favour of having a separate bedroom. politeness ; he had one spare room, but it w . as a ve7 obden large room. `That is exa ctl y what I like,' said Mr. .

The tail of Derby, in moving the second reading of the East India Loan Bill, stated, in reply to questions put on a previous evening, that on Monday a vote of thanks world be proposed to the Governor-General, the Commander'-in- Chief, and the other officials and civilians engaged in bringing about the pacification of India. He stated, further, that a form of thanksgiving for the happy event would be drawn up, to be used on such days as her Majeekty should appoint. Recurring to the bill itself, he observal that, for the purpose of restoring the balance of Indian revenue expenditure, great reductions were necessary in the latter, and especially in the expenditure in the army. A commission on that subject had recommended the formation of a local European force, in the propor tion of ace to two to the native force;- in some places, - and of 'one to three in others. He agreediwith the commission ac -to expediency of a local force, though he would not give-his opinion as to the proportion. II stated ;the actual positiOn and numbers of the European and!native armies in India. Recurring to the state of the country, he stated in some cletitil the development of Indian railways and public works,- and the manner in which the sum hitherto expended:had been applied. The Duke -of Argyll protested against any responsibility being thrown upon the Imperial Exchequer on account of Indian liabilities. Those who had lent money to India had dime so at a 1241 , rate of interest, expressly on the ground of the absence of any Imperial guarantee. It would not be worth while for this country to undertake the responsibility for the sake of lowering the interest. The Earl of Ellenborough objected to the system of giving Government guarantees at five per cent to the companies undertaking public works. lie had sanctioned such a guarantee in cases of very great impor tance; but he would go no further_ He 'regretted that the government had not sanctioned a loan to a still greater extent, so as to be prepared against all contingencies, and urged a reduction of expenditure to the extent of two million -pounds annually. The Earl of Albemarle remarked on the impossibility of raisiug.increased revenue from a population already taxed up to 18s imthepound. After some observations from the Earl of Donoughmore, Lord Menteagle declared that nothing could be more inconvenient than the form in, which the Indian accounts were kept at present. He recommended that an imperial guarantee should' be given, under existing circumstances, to Indian loans, as the least of the choice of evils, as he con sidered that this country was responsible for the debts of India if the financesef that country failed. The bill wasthen-read a second time. The standing orders being dispensed with, it passed through its remaining stages. • The Patents for Inventions Ammunitions of War Bill, was read a third time and passed. The house then adjourned at half-past eight. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TxunsDAY. OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS': Lord Palmerston gave notice that, to-morrow, on the motion for adjournment till Monday, he should call atten tion to the state of our foreign relations, and should put a question to the government as to the precise position of the country, whether as mediator or negotiator in the dissentions now pending at Paris or elsewhere, on the subject of Italy, or of Europe in general FINANCIAL STATEMENT. In reply to , Sir. Cr. C: Lewis, The Chancellor of the Exchequer, deprecating being called upon to make a partial financial statement said, that he had no difficulty in saying that it was his intention to pay off two million pounds of exchequer bills falling due in . May, and that he did not contemplate the necessity of borrowing for that purpose. MANOR COURTS (IRELAND BILL.) The Lords amendment to the Menus cues t. in (Ircis.na Bill) were considered and agreed to. The Iroise then went into committee of supply. Several votes were taken on the army and navy estimates. The Superannuation Bill was read a third time and passed. The Combination of Workmen Bill passed through coin- mittee ROYAL WESTERN YACHT CLUB OF IRELAND. Mr. Cogan called the attention of the House to a letter from the Lords of the Admiralty to the Royal Western Yacht Club of Ireland, dated the 26th day of June, 1858, withdrawing the privilege of wearing the white ensign from that club, although granted them by royal warrant, dated the 6th day of Feb., 1832, and confirmed by letters of the Admiralty of the 30th of July, 1819, and the 29th of April, 1853, and ratified by vote of the House of Commons on the 29th July, 1853, and moved for copies of papers-and docu ments relating thereto. He complained of the withdrawal of the privilege without any cause. Mr. Lygon said that he had no objection to.the produc tion of the correspondence, and that the matiser would be taken into consideration. Sir J. Graham thought that the admiralty ought to re consider the question before it finally withdrew a privilege exercised for 27 years, without any abuses of it, or any allegation of improper conduct. After some inaudible observations from Lord Lovaine . Colonel French said that the Royal Yacht Club of Ireland only asked for the same privilege given to the English Royal Yacht Club. The motion was agreed to. The remaining business was dispose& of, and the House adjourned at 7.10 p.m. EXECUTION OF FREDERICK, PRENTICE. The execution of Frederick Prentice, for the murder of Emma Coppin, at Queenborough; in Kent, took place yesterday morning at Maidstone. Since the murderer pleaded Guilty, and was condemned to death by llaron Martin, he has expressed deep,contrition for his crime r and paid the most earnest attention to the chaplain of the gaol, Having thanked the authorities.for their kind attmtion he was handed over by the sheriffs to Calcraft; who pinioned his arms, an the proccession moved - to the drop, where the unhappy man was placed under the fatal beam, and the rope being adjusted about his neck, the holt was -withdrawn, and he.was launched into eternity.

He ex plains that he could be no party to a Reform Bill Nirtich would have undermined ' the resident constititency in boroughs. He further says, speaking of the defunct bill, the absence or-any provision to reduce the franchise in boroughs, and the bard' line of separation thus left between - the middle orders and' those who earn their - livelihood b a r manual labour, would have tended to foster discontent and make a war of classes. The noble lord next•rindieates the course he pursued in moving his resolution. He says," It seemed to me that to move• an amendment pointing nut, on the second reading, the chief faults of the bill, would be a most clear, manly, and direct course. It was , approved by a majority of the whole House of Commons:: Two-thirds of that House were agreed as to the requisites of a good bill of Reform. Some- points of detail, rather than of prin ciple, remain to be adjusted between the most eminent of the independent men who spoke in the. debate.. It wag ovidont that thh, wgrooment faeilitsted, and the public interest required, a- settlement of this question in the present session. The state of affairs on the Continent makes it desirable that the voice of the British Parliatnent should be heard in defence- at once of peace and of freedom. A minister who advises a premature dissolution, generally does so in pursuit of some policy which he thinks beneficial to the country ; but we are left in doubt as to the policy of the present Ministry. Whether they propose to revive their bill, to propose a new bill, or to leave the whole question in suspense, favouring agitation and postponing settlement, is matter of pure conjecture. For my own part, if again entrusted with the duty of representing you, it will be my endeavour to procure the. immediate enactment of a sound, moderate, and constitutional measure. I will not recur to my votes on public and.' secret voting; that is a question which must be decidtd by the growth and • maturity of public opinion. lam in favour of publicity, as in the end most conducive to freedom of thought and action; but I honour- the aim and object of those who support the ballot, and I' wish, like them, to- check intimidation and' corruption."' Lord John concludes his address by a rebuke. to those who impute unworthy motives to men s whether irr.. or out of power. SIR TAMES GRAHAM'S ADDRESS , TO THR ELECTORS OF CARLISLE., Sir James Graham has issaed: the following address to the electors "Grosvenor-place, April 5. "Gentlemen,—The ministers of the Quecu have announced that her Majesty has been.advised by them to dissolve the present parliament without. delay. Th4y had proposed a. measure purporting to be am amendment , of the lava:which. regulate , the representation of the people.
