YESTERDAY'S MARKETS LIVERPOOL CORN.—We had a good attendance at our market this morning, and have had a fair consump tive demand for wheats;the inquiry being directed chiefly to,parcels of fresh American red, on which sellers obtained an advance of Id to 2d per bushel over Friday's rates ; this, however, checked a large extent of business, and in white wheats there was no improvement either in value or demand ; several lots of red were taken for holding over. In flour we had rather more doing, but being held for 6d to 95 per brl. advance, the transactions prove unimpor tant. Barley and beans dull, and nominally unchanged from last market day.

SOLOMON AND WIFE v. VESEY.—A verdict was given in this case for the plaintiff, for 13s 6d. SAMUEL V. A DAlliSON.—This was an action to recover the sum of £24 3s id, alleged by plaintiff to have been over paid to the defendant. Mr. Aspinall appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Brett for the defence. From the opening statement of counsel for the plaintiff, it appeared that he was a watch manufacturer, carrying on business in this town, and the defendant had been in his employment as a journeyman. It appeared that a singular custom was observed by the plaintiff, of paying wormen previous to the execution of the work, quite in opposition to the • state of things - ordinar as regarded master and wa In eases where the 'work was not done, or no iftsimmimeminmwalimao isisabalf LIVERPOOL NORTHERN HOSPITAL The annual meeting of the trustees of this valuable institution was held yesterday at the Board-room in that establishment. Mr. W. Brown, M.P., presided. From the annual report it appeared that during the past year there had been 3,422 patients admitted, of which 2,541 were accidents, 303 medical cases, 472 surgical cases, and 106 on recommendations, 2,526 of whom had been 'dis- charged, 553 relieved, 84 irregular, 11 incurable, died, 115, out-patients, 30, remaining in the hospital, 3,422. The nature of the accidents would appear to be as follows :- 548 fractures, 62 dislocations, 70 burns and scalds, 1,790 contusions, 3 suspended animations, 5 for attempting suicide, and 63 for various treatment. The localities in. which these accidents occurred were, in the town, 1,384; docks, 608 ; manufactories, 59 ; shipping, 271; warehouse, 97; canal, 20; and railways, 102. The total number of patients, 3,422, consisted of 1,542 labourers, 913 sailors, women, and 261 children, of whom —.vs of Liverpool, 413 belonging to different .elugland, 1,082 to Ireland, 88 to Scotland, 93 to Wales, and 639 were foreigners: .nits, 44' 1,107 were nati statement of accourils showed that the receipts had a upwards of £3,000, and that there was still a small balance in the h tie treasurer, institution were all unanimously re-elected, alifl a vote of thanks was accorded them for the ttiou they had bestowed on the management The vffieers of the care and al of the inetitutiou, A special vote of thani.? was also ae?ortlei to Mr. Anderson, the secretary, for vvht.;,e services the hospital is much indebted to its prosperity Th'e meeting then parated t the worknian mount was debited as ag the 23rd of April, 1845, au arrangement plaintiff and defendant, by which the former was to be paid 303 a week, provided a certain amount of work was done. It was stated that this agreement was never acted upon by the defendant, and the agreement being only for three years, it would, in any case, have been void, by lapse of time. In January, 1853 it was said there was a balance of the amount, which had been overpaid to the defendant, of £22 is 3d, which, it was contended, defendant had admitted and adopted by making entries of other items in the same book into which the balance had been entered. Since 1853 there had been other overpayments made which together made up the amount sought to be recovered in the present action. The evidence of the plaintiff and others was given to support the case. Mr. Brett contended that the action was altogether a trumped-up one, because the defendant had set up in business for himself, and remarked that although they had heard a great deal about arbitrary conduct upon the part of workmen, yet when agreements came to be committed to writing they found that such men as Mr. Samuels always took care to have the advantage upon their own sides. Evidence having been given en the part of the defence, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. 1e between SNEADE V. STONE.-ThiS was an action brought by a person named Craven Berkeley Sneade against George Stone. Mr. Brett, who appeared for the plaintiff, said the plaintiff was a commission agent, and the defendant a publican. It would appear that the defendant had a public house, in which his daughter was living with him, and he required another house in order that he might give up the house in which he then lived to his daughter to set up for herself, and he himself go into the other public-house. He therefore employed the plaintiff to look out for another public-house • for him. The plaintiff did look out for some time, and he heard of a house called the Napier Vau:ts, kept by a person named Murphy, which the latter was willing to give up. He de.cribed the house to the defendant, who sent his wife and daughter to look at it, and the latter was so much pleased with it that a specific engagement was made that the plaintiff should get the house, and act as a commission agent usually does, his commission to be 410. The defendant went over the house, made out an inventory, and drew up an agreement. The amount originally demanded for the house was £250, but the plaintiff succeeded in getting it for £230. He attended the licensing session, and saw the licence transferred to the defendant, who accordingly took the house, and had it. the plaintiff applied for the commission of £lO, bat after repeated applications it was not paid, and the present action was accordingly brought. Mr. Aspinall, upon the part of the defence, proceeded to show by evidence that the agree ment with the plaiutiff was to the effect that he should have £lO commission, provided he effected a purchase of the house for £2OO, and that as he had not done this, he was not entitled to recover. It was also stated that when he went to the Napier vaults with the defendant's wife and daughter, Mrs. Murphy absolutely declined to have any dealing at all in the matter if Sneade continued in it, as she said he had acted unfairly in a previous instance with her former husband. The defendant, George Stone, was examined, and created considerable amusement in court by the manner in which he gave his evidence. In the first instance, he persisted, not withstanding the repeated interference of the court, in kissing the book before a word of the oath could be admin istered, and at every new reprimand of the bench, turning to the learned assessor and signifying his respect by pulling one of the locks of hair on his forehead, beading his head, and giving the peculiar nautical scrape of his left foot. As a kind of explanation of these performances, Mr. Aspinall said : You are a sailor, I believe ? Witness . Aye, aye— I'm nothing else. (Laughter.) The witness then stated, in answer to Mt. Aspinall, that he never promised to pay plaintiff £lO, and had nothing to do with the case at all— in his own words, he never had any chat at all about it. Mr. Brett You paid the money for the Napier vaults ? Witness . I did, sir. Mr. Brett : Yo u d ran k the' beer there ? No, I aidn't drink the beer—l drank the ale. (Laughter.) Mr. Brett : Did you sign any agreement?? Witness :No I never bad a pen in my fie.. (Laughter.) Other witnesses having also been called, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. The Court : It seems to me to have been rather a bold thing to deny it. (iGsroN u. JACKSON.—Mr. Raffles appeared for the plaintiff in this action, and Mr. Crompton Hutton for the defendant. The plaintiff was a woollen merchant in Hud dersfield, and the defendant a tailor and draper in Crosshall Street, Liverpool. The action was brought to recover £3O 153. sd. for goods ordered at different times from the plaintiff's traveller and supplied, No defence was gone into, and a verdict was given for the full amount. DiXON AND ANOTHEI, V. EILODIN.--ThlSPi7 an action brought for work done and materials supplied. Mr. Brett appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. fziimon fur the defence. The plaintiff's allegation was that in August 1854 they were employed, being joiners and builders, by the defendant, who is a broker, to make some alterations in the premises of the latter, which amounted to £2B 93. 3d. Of that amount they received £2O on account. Babequently they did some small work for defendant, amounting to £2 4s 2d. This latter amount was paid by defendant into court, and tin balance of £8 9s 3d, claimed by plaintiff, was disputed. On the part.of the defence, it was contended that the amount claimed was an overcharge, and that £lB would have been sufficient to pay for the work done. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed, the learned assessor. remarking that it was one of the - most hopeless defences he had ever known. GREEN V. ROBINSON AND ANOTREIL—This was an action brought to; recover damages for grievous bodily harm done to the plaintiff, in consequence of alleged neglect and careless conduct upon the part of the defen dants in the case. Mr. M‘Donnell opened the pleadings. Mr. Aspinall said : The plaintiff in this case was a little boy, only nine years old, the son of a labourer. The defendants were extensive, and, he believed, very pros perous and, wealthy spirit merchants, wh o a l so carr i e d on a retail trade in this town, at the corner of St. James' street and Duncan street. The action was brought to recover damages from the defendants for an accident of the most serious nature, which was alleged to be the result of their negligence in carrying on their trade. It appeared that there were three doors to these premises, projecting into the street further than the windows pro jected, and between the doors there was a railing along the wall of the premises fronting to the street. In the front of the space where the windows were, the railings constituted a small recess or area between the outer wall of the house and the street. The defendants were in the habit of making use of the small space, which would be shown to be only two feet six iuches for storing barrels. The length of the barrels from end to end would be shown to be three feet nine inches, so that the jury would observe that the end of a barrel resting on the rails would project into the street fifteen inches. The little boy was going along the street when from some cause or other, either some vibration of the motion going on in the street, or from its own insecure position, the one of the barrels tumbled over, fell upon the boy, and broke:his leg. The accident was of such a serious nature, that it was found necessary to have the leg am putated. The child was in the hospital still. He had undergone a number of operations, and it was not certain that another would not have to be performed, while as far as regarded the question of mere pain and suffering, the accident was one of a most serious character. Mr. Aspinall contended at some length that the defendants were responsible for the accident which had thus resulted. The amount of damages claimed was 5001. Witnesses were examined to ,show that the accident which took place on Sunday, the 7th of October, occurred without the barrel having been touched by the boy in passing under. The evidence of Mr. Royston, surgeon, was given to show the nature and extent of the injuries.' Mr. Brett, on behalf of the defendants, denied that the accident was caused by their negligence, and that the manner in which the barrels were placed, was the manner in which" they had always been placed withlsafety up to that time. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 2501.

Yesterday morn • g, a meeting of the ratepayers of tu. place of Toxteth-park, was convened at the Public-offices, for the purpose of electing a member of the burial board, iu the room of Mr. Miller, resigned. Mr. Hilton Halhead occupied the chair. Dlerk having read the notice convening the meeting, " 1--- -- tid they were met for the purpose of elect to fill the place of Mr. Miller at the ing a gent burial boar He had much pleasure in proposing, as his successor, Mr. John Cropper. Mr. Cropper was well known, in the park, and took a great interest in its affairs. Mr. - .D. Craig had much pleasure in seconding the appoint ment of Mr. Cropper. _ The.appointment was unanimously confirmed. The Chairman said, the next business on the notice, is to take into consideration the bill for the extension of the borough of Liverpool, but as that bill has been withdrawn, since the notice was given, it would be unnecessary to refer to it. ifs might, however, be permitted to state, that the bill which was intended to be introduced, was a most gigantic measure, and was such an one, that it was scarcely likely to have ben carried, but was put forward, no doubt, for the purpose of ascertaining the wishes of the parishes on the subject. Birkenhead had been at one time favourable to the bill, but they had asked the council to comply with such preposterous terms, that the bill had been withdrawn and as was said in the council a few days since, he thought it was a happy deliverance. A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, the meeting, which was but very thinly attended, separated, there being no other business to transact. FREDERICK-STREET SCHOOLS. A meeting of the subscribers and donors to the above schools was held at one o'clock, yesterday, in the New Schools, Frederick-street. The chair was occupied by the Rev. T. L. Pain, M.A. ; and amongst the other gentlemen present were—Rev. Dr. AP.N eile, Mr. Alderman Robinson, Mr. W. P. Jeffreys, Mr. J. Rigby, Mr. Wilson, Mr. West, Mr. Southward Mr. Gough, &c., &c. There were also some ladies present. The Chairman opened the proceedings by reading the following REPORT. The committee of St. Thomas's schools have great plea sure in presenting their annual report to the subscribers on the present occasion. They are enabled to inform them that the school for girls and infants has been conducted to their entire satisfaction throughout the past year, and that since their removal to the present building, notwith standing it took place under some disadvantage, the num ber on ;the books has increased to nearly 150, and the attendance to 120. The Sunday school has also been well attended. During the seven years of its existence the blessing of God has been abundantly vouchsafed upon the exertions of those connected with it, land the committee could inform you, from circumstances that have come to their knowledge, that impressions have there been made productive of the greatest good. But the event of the past year especially deserving of notice is the completion of this commodious building in which we are now assem bled—a work which will remain as a lasting record of the interest the subscribers to it take in the religious training and secular education of the children of ' the labouring classes. To the subscribers the committee would offer their best thanks for their very liberal donations, and they trust that their latest act—the appointment of a master possessing a Government certificate of merit for the boys' school—will be a proof to,them that they are determined, with God's good blessing upon their humble efforts, to proceed steadily forward in the course they have hitherto pu - - _ ed, towards supplying a sound, useful, and religious education to the children of the labouring classes residing in this populous locality. Mr. Alderman Robinson moved that the adopted, printed, and circulated among the sal__ - In doing so, he briefly dwelt on the advantages of educa tion, and illustrated its importance by reminding working men that the first question which was now asked of a person seeking employment was, whether he could read and write ? In a worldly point of view, then he urged that no greater benefit could be conferred on a child, by its parents, than a good education. report be Mr. W. P. Jeffreys seconded the motion, and observed that the report would be must acceptable to the sub scribers, as it announced that the building was now free from debt. (Hear, hear.) The motion was unanimously adopted. On the motion of Rigby, seconded by Mr. Wilson, the committee for the ensuing year was appointed. The Rev. Dr. M‘l‘Teile proposed the following resolu tion :—" That this meeting desires to acknowledge, with thankfulness, the blessings of Almighty God upon the efforts of those who have been engaged in establishing a nd cJnducting those schools, and in enabling them to complete the work of erecting this handsome and commodious building, and they trust that in His goodness He will con tinue His blessings on their efforts, and rise up friends to assist them in carrying on the work in which they are engaged." In moving the resolution, the rev. gentleman said that it required nothing like argument, and still lesa artifica, to induce the meeting to adopt it. It was not, then, for the purpose of pressing it on their acceptance that 1 10 would offer a few observations, but for the purpose of grati' fying himself in taking a part, though a small part, in the completion of the good work in which he had felt an inte rest, from the first time Mr. Thompson spoke to him about it. Too much praise could not be given to Mr. Thompson for his zeal and enthusiasm in the matter ; for in this world there were so many impediments, so many hindrances in the way, that without some enthusiast no goo d work wag now carried through. They heard people sneer at enthw Blasts, saying, " Oh, he is half mad !" but they might rest assured that but for enthusiasts good works would languish altogether in this world. The Apostles were enthusiasts ; the Reformers were enthusiasts ; all good men that moved society were enthusiasts ; and their labours had at eyed time been beneficial to the world. The rev. gentleman thee directed his discourse to education, and in illustration of its advantages, pointed out that it was a natural law which held good in every clime, in every soil, and in every age, that 6. those who think must gove rn th ose w h o toil."Sett'e strong minds, he said, bad certainly been able to think without the aid of cultivation, but they had been very rare! and those only who in their youth were educated and taug ll to think could hope to govern. He then referred to religions education, and in an equally forcible manner illustrated not only its importance but its necessity. The Rev. Mr. Boardman seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the pro' ceedings terminated.
