NEWCASTLE : A small supply of farmer's Wheat, with an improved trade at 2s per quarter above the price of this week. There was more enquiry for South country. Both old and new fine qualities command an advance of is per quarter, but inferior sorts were difficult to sell at last day's rates. Flour was firm, and in better demand. Malting Barley hung heavily on hand, and prices were with difficulty sustained. Old Oats held firmly, and demand was quiet. Beans and Peas were the turn Iower.—PRESTON : The trade bas remained inactive all week, with prices for all articles about as before. 'We have little grain, fresh up this week. There was a good supply of farmers' Wheat at the Corn Exchange this morning. Dry samples sold freely at former prices, but the great bulk, which was in soft condition, was diffi cult of sale at prices in favour of the buyer. Oats and Flour as before.

NEWS OF THE DAY. rekiu has been captured by the British and French forces. Lord Palmerston and all the leading Ministers are awaiting the arrival of the China mail, with the greatest anXiety, and Cabinet Councils will be resumed in the Orly part of next week. Our news by telegraph from China to-day is most important. We have an astute but thoroughly unscrupulous enemy to deal with. But we have at length pursued him to his last Imperial lair. We have taken the gates of his capital (with four millions of inhabitants), and we have sacked his palace with an incredible amount of spoil. Such successes are dearly bought by the sufferings of some, and we fear the death of others, amongst the best men in our public service. But the lesson will not be lost upon the cruel and perfidious race with whom we have to deal. These proceedings may involve a winter occupation of these parts, but that cannot avail against a country possess ing the highest credit in Europe, and a fabulous amount of trade. There are no accounts of the fighting, but the loss—if it shall unhappily be realised—of the few chosen Englishmen who are killed in cold blood, will measure against 1 in 100 of belligerents in the public mind, and of I in 1,000 of perfidious and blood-thirsty Chinese. Two of the six prisoners made at Tung-than only have been recovered, namely, Mr. Consul-General Parkes and Mr. Loch, Lord Elgin's private secratary. Mr. Boulby, the Times' correspondent, is still unaccounted for, and two others have unfortunately met their death at the hands of the stupid and brutal Chinamen, who must either have been so ignorant as to mistake them for persons of the utmost importance to the army, or have been so insensate as to murder them in coldblood. Further particulars, however, of these great events are now on their way from Marseilles, and, until they shall have arrived, the public opinion must, in a greater or lesser degree, be suspended in the matter. Since the victory of Plassy, gained by Clive a century since, no event has occurred in Asia of equal importance to English power and influence in the east. Coming so close as it does on the heels of the suppression of the insurrection in India, this capture of the Chinese capital—inviolable for centuries as Pekin has been—must have the same effect on the Asiatic mind as the aaptate of Mexico by Cortes had upon the Mexican abori gines. It speaks in language not to be misunder stood that England will suffer no paltering for any lengthened period; and that if she postpones her rights, and forbears to strike, it is not from weakness, but from the consciousness of her irresistible strength. The only difficulty in the way of an 'immediate settlement is the possible cross action of French diplomacy ; but Eng , land is now in a position to remove , obstructions of any kind which may be thrown athwart her path. Honour to the brave men of both nations—Frnch and English —who have won the victory of justice and truth over treachery, ignorance, and chicane ; honour and regret also to the valiant dead. The Petrie alleges that, owing to the disturbances in the Bombay Presidency, two regiments which had arrived from China at Calcutta, were despatched to the former presidency. King Victor has returned to Naples from Sicily. The reactionary disturbances in the Neapolitan provinces have developed themselves into insurrections of conside rable importance at three places—Caserta, Aversa, and at Sora, which have required for their mastery the whole of the Garibaldian army. But the return of the Cardi nal Archbishop of Napl es to that city has been produc tive of a very serious o utbreak in the revolutionar y inter est, the mob having besie g ed his palace, and attempted to set it on fire. It is reported that Francis 11. has concluded a loan at Vienna; but, on the other hand, a despatch from the camp before Gaeta, dated Thursday last, asserts that a new battery has been opened by the Piedmontese against that fortress, with terrible effect. The Presse of Saturday says it is in a position to announce that the Austrian Government is about to annul the concordat with the Pope, and to establish full liberty in Austria. The same paper asserts that the Austrian Government is willing to cede Venetia to the now united kingdom of Italy. The plan at present moeted is for Austria to receive in exchange a portion of the territory on the Lower Danube, which is at present under the nominal suzerainty of the Porte, but the population of which evince as strong a repugnance to the Ottoman rule as the Venetians do the sway of Austria. The correspondent of the Times, however, insists that no real concessions will be made as long as Count Rechberg remains at the head of affairs. The latter writer also affirms that the state of things in Hungary is, to all extents and purposes, revolutionary. Count Cavour has telegraphed to the firm of Roths child Brothers to pay the first dividend on the Itoman loan, the Piedmontese Government undertaking to make up the amount for which the Pope did not provide sufficient funds. It is reported that among Othei measures with which M. de Persigny will inaugurate his entrance upon the duties of Minister of the Interior is the repeal of the laws regarding " general safety," which were passed with reference to Orsini's attempt on the life of the Emperor. It is likewise mentioned that the French Government is about to grant an amnesty to the journals for previous infractions of the laws oft the subject of the press. A summary of M. de Persigny's circular to the prefects of France will be found under the head of our telegraphic intelligence ) where, likewise, there will be fotind a very liVely account of an interne* alleged ton Very doubtful authority) to haVe taken place between the EciperOr and the Bishop of Versailles, on the subject of the Papas, claims with ibspe . ct to the French ChUrch. As to the Franco-Syrian 4peditioit,the an ;titiCtionizel denies the repoited &than& of M. de Lavalette for the prolongation of the sojourn of the troops iii Syria, but this Circumstance does not alter the faCts. A shocking butchery has been perpetrated by the natives of Buckatoo, one of the South Pacific islands. The victims of the atrocity formed part of the crew of the whaler Henrietta, 'commanded by Captain Brown. According to the ship's log-book the carpenter and five of the crew went on short to Mit Sete spars and fire brood; When they Wert attached, and, with the exception of 'o'n'e man, Who swam off to the ship, murdered in a brutal manner. An attempt was afterwards made by the !satage4 to gain possession of the vessel, but fortii nately they *ere driVen oii and defeated. . The teritelice of death passed on Ann Padfield has been commuted to penal servitude for life. We have reason to believe that this extension of mercy has been granted upon ‘ a careful consideration of all the facts of the case, as disclosed at the trial ; and that is in no degree attributable to the statements made by the unhappy woman since her conviction, which inculpate other persons, but appear, on inquiry, to be 'ithout foundation...., , _, For several days Past the tidinity of Gloucester has been Visited with almost unceasing rain, which with the high tides has caused an extensive flood. Miles of meadow land are under water, and ploughing and wheat sowing have been put an entire stop to.

RAILWAY travelling is attended with many dangers under the system of management adopted in this country. Apart from the perils arising from imperfections of the perbiaiient iibay oi• ii tli~ rolling stock=froin 'collisions; or froth any Other ekter4iai Canses=the occUp'ants of railway trains Are subject to another class of risks, attri biltai3le to the present defective arrangeMents for regulating the conduct of the Passengers. All Cla . iseS of passengers are more or less liable to the annoyances and hazards consequent on occu pying seats in compartments open to all comers, but none more so than • young or delicate ladies travelling alone. At this season of the year this evil is, perhaps, More genbraily felt than at any other, froin the tact that 'daylight is so brief; and it happens, UnfortnnatelY, that as the Christmas holidays approach this unprotected class of railway travellers is unusually numerous, in consequence of the breaking up of the schools and the return of lady pupils and teachers to spend the festive season with their friends and relations. Even first class passengers can rarely select their corn pagnew de voyao throughout the whole of a long journey. The probability of encountering dis agreeable or dangerous cornpany May be greater in second-class, and greatest in the third, but we have heard even this denied with some appearance of reason. The case may be to some small extent provided for by running a carriage or compart ment for ladies alone; but it is easy to see how that safeguard might be abused, and thus only aggravate the evil. With every precaution to secure freedom from annoyance in any part of the train, it is certain that when once the train is in motion it is too late to discover, as is too frequently the case, that the immediately adjoin ing passenger is an improper or dangerous person. All risks must then be run, and all consequences of the mistake must then be endured, until the train arrive at the next halt; and even then the chances are all in favour of the offender's escape before the guard's attention can be brought to bear on the subject of complaint. This grievous and perilous state of matters can never be remedied until some mode is adopted whereby every passenger in the train shall have it in hi s or her power to effect instant, easy, certain, and complete communication with the guard in charge of the train while in full motion. A fearful illustration of the horrors that may be perpetrated under the present method has been afforded by the cruel fate of M. POINSOT, President of the Imperial Court of Paris,—a very eminent man,—showing that the French cliemins defer are liable to this objection as much as our own. The deceased entered an empty first-class carriage. He was subsequently joined by a stranger. It was night. The stranger drew down the window blinds. Thus completely isolated and alone with his victim, he deliberately proceeded to murder and rob the worthy magistrate. The bloody outrage having been accomplished, the murderer Unfastened the door, and, as the train gradually slowed to receive the mail bags at Noisy, stepped safely out, and marched off with his booty unde tected. It was not not until after the assassin had had ample opportunity to conceal himself, that the slaughtered corpse of M. POINSOT was discovered by the ticket-collector lying bathed in blood in the bottom of the carriage. 'the other details, as given in our Paris Corres pondent's letters, clearly bear out the infer ence that, had any means of instantly calling for aid been available to M. POINSOT, either his life would have been saved, or, at all events, the mur derer might have been caught red-hall - hied. Now, although this may be a case of unusual atrocity, and one which we would not willingly look upon as likely to happen often, yet it serves to show the full extent of mischief - which attaches itself to the terribly unprotected and utterly helpless condition to which railway directors consign their customers. Granting that the case cited is an extreme one, and that it has had no parallel, perhaps, in this country, yet what has been on the one side of the Channel may be on the other, seeing that there is the same defect in the systems of both. Moreover, apart from such extreme cases, is it not within the knowledge of every observant traveller by rail that respectable people of both sexes are continually subjected to disturbance, annoyances, and affronts, to say nothing of more serious insults and assaults, to which they would not be liable were the guard in constant commu nication with every compartment ? With re ference to this minor class of misdemeanours, so far as male passengers are concerned, we don't think it necessary to say much, seeing that they are or ought to be able to take care of themselves. The " Sam Wellers" may suffer from being locked up with " widders," and the " pigeons" may be plucked by the " sharpers"—but in the meantime we must pass them by. It is quite otherwise with the female passengers travelling singly. No doubt it is due to the rougher sex to state that for the most part they are gallantly disposed to show every proper attention and respect to " the unprotected female," but there are brutes in the shape of men who frequently travel on the rail, and zi ho seem not only dead to every decent consideration and becoming sympathy for the fair companions of their journey, but who appear to think the opportunity for displaying their ferocious impudence and disgusting imper- tinence too great a treat for their savage tastes to be let slip. Nor is this gross behaviour to be altogether remedied by an appeal to the other passengers ; for even when every physical annoy ance may have, by such means, been put an end to, the thwarted rascal may still wag his tongue after a fashion that proves perhaps fully as offen sive as a more silent annoyance. If the case be so irremediable; When there are gentlemen pre sent to whom a lady may appeal, what are we to say or think of a system which permits a single ady to be exposed to attacks of such uncivilised men without a witness, as is too often the case ? Suppose the case of a young lady returning from school at the approaching Christmas-tide. She has to travel by rail from London to Liverpool. At starting she feels happy in the society of seve ral 'companions, and the rest of the compartment May he filled tip by respectable people. One by one, however, leaves; and by-and-bye the Liver pool lady IS alOnc: The ti'ain. then ,§tiip'S for a couple of minutes at some roadside station, and is about to start again. Suddenly the door opens— a " gentleman" seats himself—the door is shut— and the train is nearly at full speed before the lady discovers that she is alone with a daring and unprincipled fellow. What can she do P She may shriek for help; but it will be wholly in vain. It may be a long run to the next stoppage ; and if the intruder desires to escape before that time, he may follow the example of the murderer of M. POINSOT, and safely jump out as the train slows before entering the station. This is no extreme case: On the contrary, we know that with taria , - tiOnsand Modifications of details it 18 tofiStantly occuring on ii.ll our lin'es if the amedit of inconvenience—to use • 110 stronger , i nich the public necessarily suffer in this way, could be reckoned up numerically, we fear it Would startle many ; but tlom . its tot nature the aetilal eitetit atid. dept i of the eril can never lie definitely ascertained: The subject, however,, is one loudly calling for the considera tion of all lietieSt Men; with a vier tO it Prompt and eteetUal remedy', Instant communication with the guard, we have said, is the only cure. It is not for us to specify or discuss the details and merits of the various plans proposed or ip practice; for realisig this object. It is enough for us to know that the thing is necessary, and that it can be easily plied. In Mwrica, Belgium, Germany, and else where, the means of such communication have been long in operation. The schemes there ployed may be susceptible of improvement; or re adaptation in tilis catiritry, but in some forni or another the desideratum ought to be met. It is for the public to agitate this matter, and in duce Parliament to work out a reform, which the existing rail Way boards would Certainly resist, to . , the last'. It would cost money, and to render all the parts of the train safe, would be to encourage second and third class travelling, which, of course, would never do. So, at least, think shortsighted railway proprietors and direc tors, although it is a great mistake ; for the dan ger of travellibg, to which we haVe adverted, prekTrit niany thoiisand'§ of lathe's froth Undertak ing a long railway journey at this, and we may say at any, season of the year, who would other wise gladly visit their friends at a distance. The improvement we advocate would prove in the end as advantageous to the Railway Interest as to the community at large, and the ladies in particular. On such a subject, however, it is difficult for isolated individuals to bring influence to bear upon the Government and Legislation, sufficient to counteract the opposition of so powerful an Interest. It is only to be done by combination. For this reason, we would at present leatc the matter, by earnestly recommending it to the attention of the Society for the Promotion of Social Science. That society only requires to show itself competent to the task of effect ing some such great practical reform, to satisfy all sceptics as to its utility, and thus forever to secure its permanency among the valuable institutions of the country. If Lord BROUGHAM, as founder of that association, will only take up this topic we feel convinced that success is certain. If appealed to, the public would respond in a manner which would make the legislative halls of St. Stephen ring again with the clamour, and convince the legislature that this measure of Railway Reform cannot much longer be withheld. MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS ALICE. The marriage of the Princess Alice has been defi nitively. settled—to be solemnised during the ensuing season in London—with Prince Louis of Hesse Darm stadt. Prince Louis is the eldest son of Prince Charles, brother and heir presumptive of the Grand Duke, who has no children. The mother of Prince Louis is a Prin cess of Prussia, daughter of the late Prince William, (uncle to the King, and whose name was distinguished in the grear wars), and of a sister of the Queen of Bavaria, and Prince Albert of Weldiunar, the latter of whom (now deceased) was well known in this country for the noble part he took in the dangers of our armies in Lord Hardinge's Punjab campaign. THE EMPRESS EUGENIE IN THE TOWER OF LONDON. The Empress of the French, accompanied by the Marquis La Grange, visited, on Thursday, the two Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey; on Friday her Majesty paid a visit to the Tower of London. The Imperial party arrived about one o'clock, in a private carriage, and alighted at the Spur Gate. Her Majesty, who wore a thick veil, preserved her incognito for some time, and the illustrious visitor was conducted over the most interesting portion of the fortress by one of the warders, On Saturday afternoon the Empress of the French, accompanied by the Duke of Athol' and her suite, and the stewards, Mr. B. T. Brandreth Gibbs and Mr. Boul nois, visited the Cattle Show, Baker-street. Her manners were most kind and gratifying. The Queen will visit the Cattle Show on Monday morning, according to pre sent instructions. REV. H. STOWELL BROWN'S LECTURE.—This talented divine delivered the second of his Sunday afternoon religions lectures at the Concert Hall, yesterday, before a crowded audience, chiefly composed of the working and middle classes. The text of his discourse was selected from the writings of Solomon, " The way of the trans gressors is hard." The same copious fluency of language, chaste and appropriate imagery, and elevated tone of ethics that so pre-eminently characterise the writings, sermons, and speeches of the rev. gentleman pervaded the lecture he delivered on this occasion, which was listened to with devout and respectful attention by the large audience present. The proceedings closed with the singing of a hymn. ACCIDENTS REPORTED AT THE NORTHERN HOSPITAL ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.—Catherine Howard, 111, Back Portland-street, seriously burnt on Saturday morning. It appears that the deceased, a prostitute, set fire to the bed-clothes by smoking in bed. She rushed into the street, and was picked up by two police men, who conveyed her at once to the hospital. She expired the same evening in great agony. An inquest will be held on the body to-dap.—Joseph Casey, a labourer, residing in No. 2 Court, Porter-street, fell into a ship's hold in the Waterloo Dock on Saturday. He was not seriously injured.---Thomas Kelly, a seaman, fell into the Bramley-Moore Dock yesterday. He narrowly escaped drowning.:—Margaret Doyle, No. 19 Court, Charter-street, fell into the hold of the Nep tune in the Waterloo Dock, and fractured her collar bone. She is a poor *man' an d obtainee her living by selling fruit. She would not remain in the hospital.: VOLUNTEER BALL AT MANCHESTER. --- The first grand volunteer ball that has ever taken place at Manchester is fixed for Monday next, the 18th instant, and is to be got up in the most magnificent style. The ball-roomis to be gorgeously decorated with rich mirrors, stands of arms, shields, &c. In the gallery are to be placed eight oriental tents for light refreshments, which, viewed from the ball-room, - will have a delightful effect. Two tents are being erected in the ball-room itself for the supply of fruit, confectionery, ices, tea, coffee, &c. The fine assembly rooms are both being richly decorated and fitted up as supper rooms ; a promenade will be reserved round these tables, and the tables themselves will be richly laid out with silver and other ornaments. Wines will be served in these rooms of first quality only ; and the proposed bill of fare is of the most recherche character, and promises to add much to the fame of our townsman, Mr. Anderson, of the Merchants' Dining-rooms, Castle-street, to whom has been entrusted the entire supply and management of these rooms, supper, refreshments, and wines. Messrs. R. Anderson and Sons, of Bold-street, have undertaken the decorations of the whole building, which are to be effective, and will no doubt be in good taste. The ball is under the most distinguished patronage, and the tickets limited. Mr. Anderson, of Castle-street, has secured a few for Liverpool ; applications should be made to him early. • FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Bth Dec., 1860. I have reason to know that the affair of the cession of Venetia is still under consideration, as I formerly mentioned to you, but privately_ and extra-diplomatically, and this in spite of all the rumours to the contrary. It is positively stated that the question was opened and dis cussed at some length at a private dinner party at the Princess Mathilde's, at which the Emperor was present; the only other guests being Prince Metternich, the Austrian ambassador ; Lord CoWley ; the British ambassador; and also no less a personage than his commercial assistant Mr. Richard Cobden, the amicus curice of both Governments, so far as concerns the adjustment of the details of the Commercial Treaty; like- wise the Russian 'ambassador, Count ItiSseleff. Prince Metternich has been invited to join the sports at Rambouillet. He is to remain for three days, a fact which in present circumstances will possibly be regarded by the world at large as a first step towards the accomplishment of so desirable a consummation as the compromise of this long standing Venetian difficulty. It is even reported that, at this dinner at the Princess's, whose salons have become a centre of reunion for politicians of the highest rank—just as those of Madame Saint-Florentin were under the previous reign—the actual price of the proposed cession was named, and despatches relative to the matter were:shortly : glei:WdrdS Sent off to Vienna from the Foreign Office. . The Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, the auditeui• of Rota, and who recently arrived in France on a secret mission from Pius IX. to Napoleon 111., has gone back to Rome, after having had an audience with his Majesty. Probably, therefore, some new turn of affairs will be recorded in a few days. Meanwhile the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, M. de Bonald, has published a letter to his clergy, in referenee td the teeent circular of M. Billault to the Prefects on the subject of collections for the Peter's Pence ; but the terms in which this document are couched are so violent that the religious journals of Paris dare not reproduce it. It is mentioned in official spheres that the Emperor has made within the last few days a renewed attempt to induce Francis IL to make up his mind to quit Gaeta, on the ground that 'wig furtllCi tc.?iistiitiCe oil liis part 3voitld only iisele§S shedding of bleod: This &Ad= munication is said io ie only preliminary to another, containing a threat to witnaraw TIM protection of the French fleet, a step which, according to other accounts, has been quite re solVed On: Sonic fre li explariatioii have lieeii recently ex 7 changed between the Vrench and Sardinian governments as to the conduct of Admiral de Tinan, with reference especially as to his having ordered a Piedmontese vessel, the Marie Adelaide, to be fired Upon for venturing, to operate against Gaeta. It is affirmed that the only satisfaction given on the point to the cabinet of Turin, was simply that Admiral de Tinan in what he had done had only obeyed his instructions. But, d propos of explanations, it is also said that the Spanish governme4 has demanded explanations froth the government of the Emperor as to th 6 meaning of a French camp being formed so near the Snanish frontier as Baeneres de Bignorre. The fear of some annexation project in reference to the Iberian Provinces being under consideration, seems still to occupy the Spanish mind a good deal; perhaps, not without some good reason. The Government of Piedmont continues actively to .exert itself in the reconstrtiction of its new navy, and genTitity With the iinprovpmont of every branch of the two services. Whilst Fiance works incessantly at the building of her cuirassees ships, Sardinia is experimenting on earthern batteries defended by an impenetrable cuirass, and which revives, of course with an immense increase of power -t-the id.eo, of the celebrated " tortoise" of the RorrianS, Tile lihrCeiritite Courier of Genoa mentions likewise an invention of a weapon Of offence, which is to be greatly more formidable than the lance, but it gives no precise details upon the subject. The Paris Deputies, MM. Jules Favre, 011ivier, Picard, and Darimon, members of the Opposition, and their colleagues and political co-religionists, MM. Cure, of Bourdeaux, and Henot, of Lyons,_ have taken the resolution, after an explanation of their Motives,ito xesign their appointments imme diately after the discussion on the address in reply the speech from the Throne. These gentlemen desire to express by this act their opinions on the necessity of a dissolution of the Corps LegislEttif, as a necessary sequel to the late reforms. No less than a third of the whole of the independent Deputies are understood to be contemplating the the same step. There is a talk of the anti-annex ionist party in Nice starting Garibaldi as a can didate in the new Parliament against the Govern ment, but it is not very likely that he will consent to lead a forlorn hope of that kind, merely for the sake of creating confusion and adding to the cause of disorder. Some further important changes in the French Marine are under Consideration. On the Ist of January nexi a .reat many new appointments of Lieutenants de Vaisseau are to be made, and it is intended to create two great maritime commands, one at Toulon, and the other at Brest. Thb officers nominated to these will have very exten sive duties, and they will be entrusted especially with the inspection of the new naval construc tions; dna with the transformation which has been decided on of the entire naval materiel. The frigate Gloire has been experimenting In the Worst Weather that could be selected for the purpose; in order to ascertain the extent of her performances in such circumstances. A better season than the preSeht for furnishing the desired opportunities could not hale been Well selected. Some further particulars hen been made known respecting the murder of M. Poisnofi revealing facts of peculiar atrocity. It seems that the deceased was shot. The Droit affirms that the assassin must first have fired at the heart of the deceased, as a ball was found lodged in his clothes near it, after penetrating his great cost, coat, waistcoat, shirt, and flannel waistcoat, and causing a contusion of the body. The man then fired a second time, and the ball penetrated above the right eye, remaining in the head; a third shot was fired just above the left eye, and the ball also penetrated the head. Next, the assassin, with a hammer or a life preserver, or some such instru ment, dealt his victim dreadful blows in the head, completely smashing the forehead and the skull; with such fury indeed did he strike him, that all the brain was scattered about, adhering to his clothes and to the seats and sides of the carriage- What probably eatiood the man to commit the crime was a leather bag which M. Poinsot had suspended round his neck by a strap, and which was well filled, but, instead of articles of value or securities, it only contained plans of his house at Chaouree, and of some projected improvementsi a number of paid bills, and a book called the " Parfait Jardinier." COLLEGIATE HONOURS.—Mr. R. Sinker, of Trinity College, Cambridge, and recently of the Collegiate Institution, has obtained, at Cambridge, the Carus prize for the criticism and interpretation of the New Testa ment. This prize is open to all students in the University under the standing of Bachelor of Arts. CAMBRIDGE LOCAL EXAMINATION.—This examination begin, in St. George's Hall, to-morrow morning, at ten o'clock. An Oxford examination will take place here at the end of next May. The arrangements for the co operation of the two Universities in this matter are not yet matured, and we are requested to state that, at the last meeting of the local committee, this resolution was unanimously passed :—" That this committee urgently requests the continuance of the Cambridge Examination at this local centre, especially on the ground of the marks given for religious knowledge." LIVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY.—RetUTII for week ending December 8, 1860. Admitted : in-patients, 39 ; out-patients, 28 ; surgical casualties, 31. Discharged : cured, 22 ; relieved, and at own request, 13 ; made out patients, 4 ; irregular, 1 ; dead, 5. Remain in the house, 173. Visitors : Messrs. Thomas Bourne and G. J. Woodhouse. Physician, Dr. Inman; surgeon, Mr. Long ; house surgeon, Mr. R. Harrison ; junior house surgeon, Mr. H. G. Rawdon ; chaplain, Rev. Edward Poole; treasurer, Mr. Charles Wilson. AN OLD OFFENDER.—On Saturday, at the County Magistrates' Court, an old woman, named Selina Bur gess, was charged with stealing a dress and shirt at Walton, of the value of Bs. When arrested, she said she had to steal or starve ; but on being searched at the Police-station, some money was found upon her, and also 3 lbs. of sugar, which had evidently been stolen. The bench said, looking to the record before them, the prisoner was an old offender. She had been transported once, committed nine times for felony, and discharged ten times on charges of felony. She was committed for six months. BOROUGH SESSIONS.—The following is a list of the prisoners sentenced at the borough sessions on Satur day :—Catherine Jones, stealing one pair of gloves, one cornelian stone, two rings, and other goods, and certain monies, the monies and property of Margaret Jones four months. James Turley, office boy ; being a servant of the Waterford Steamship Company, did receive and take into his possession, for and on behalf of the said company, the sums of 10s. 6d., and 10s. 10d., and did afterwards feloniously embezzle the same ; one month. John Hewitt, labourer; stealing one pair of boots, the property of George Moreton ; five years. Bridget Fox, stealing the sum of 12s. 6d., the monies of John Jordeu , from his person; four months. Robert Campbell, striker; stealing one clock, the property of John Rohrer; five years. THE RISCA EXPLOSION.—It is said now that tha number of miners supposed to have descended the pit 43 .. 11 Saturday morning was overstated, and that a bout 200 e men and boys—not 300—is the corrected estim ate of the real number. Of those who went down on the fatal morning it is estimated that about 150 are dead, and that 62 or 63 have been brought out alive, o whom have since died. The estimate of the n . um s uar b ni d e , r e o o is f victims, grounded on the number of lanip f s u as certained to be incorrect.
