Littledale, J. Holme, Rathbone, junr., T. Bold, Clint, Robertson Gladstone, Rounthwaite, llalhead, and Anderson. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The Sub•Commi=tee of works recommended that the tender of Messrs. Magee and Corcoran, for a quantity of old ropes, and of Messrs. John Bibby, Sons & Co., to supply a quantity of yellow metal-sheathing, be accepted —confirmed. The Marine Department recommended that David Davis be appointed assistant at the telegraph station, Point Lynas ; and that the following be appointed to work the new landing-stage : —Henry Thorpe, master, at a salary of £l2O a year; John Allen, first mate, wages 253 per week, and clothing ; John King, second mats, wages 23s per week, and clothing; Roberts, James Blezard, Thomas Jones. William Malcolm, Mark Thornton. John Greene, Richard Hill, Henry Wood, Henry Sefton, Thomas Jennings, James Blair, and Richard Brown—all at 21s a week, with clothing. All the ab;ve have been employed for several years at the small stage, docks, or in the light-ships. The recommen , dation was nnamitmily confirmed. Charles Gallagher was appointed to the old stage, in the roam of John King, promoted to the p)st of second mate of the new landing -stage. • Authority was grante I to the surveyor to let the Clarence half-tide dock run dry on the day tide of Thurs day, Ist of October, for the purpose of examining the gates and cleaning. _ Letters were received from Vienna, Chapple, and Co., and A. P. Law and Co., stating that several packages of goods had been damaged on the quay on the north side of the Nelson dock by the bursting of some weer pipe'', and that they would hold the committee responsible for the damage. It was ordered that the letters should be forwarded to the Water Committee of the Corporation, who, it was said, are the parties responsible for the damage. Mr. BOLD called attention to the fact that the govern ment had advertised for tenders for the erection of a new fort on the mite of the magazines, and that an officer had come down to look after the matter. Now, ,on that site they could not bring a gnu to bear in any direction with out firing into the docks on the Lancashire side of the river—(laughter)—and lte therefore thought that, before a large sum of money was expended on such a building, the c rcumstance should be pointed out to the government, and they remonstrated with. Block-ships would be a much better protection to the port, and there were plenty of them to spare. The CHAIRWAN agreed that block-ships would be better, but they had often in vain stated so to government As to the point in queltion, the committee had already given their s,nction to the site, when the subject was brought before them a sear or eighteen months ago. Mr. GLADSTONE thought the matter most important, and suggested that Mr. J. Hartley and Lieutenant Parkes should report on it. The subject was referred to the Works' Committee. This concladei the general bus ness. HE ILTH C OMMIITEE. The usual weekly meeting of th's committee was held at half past two o'clock yesterday, in the Town Hall, Mr. Alderman Dover in the chair. The other members present, were—Me.4srs. Beckwith, Shell, lifeGuffie, Crdsthwaite, Johnson, Anthony, Ilaydock, and Rvberteon Gladstone. The minutes of the lest meeting were read and con firmed. lIEILTII OF TEM Tows. The Medical Officer of Health reported, that in the week ending on the 19. h instant, the deaths registered in the borough were 237, against 272 in the previous week, and as avarag) of 232 in corresponding weeks of former years, excluding those of epidemic cholera. In the parish the deaths last week ware 154, and in the out-townships 83. Tne zymotic diseases caused 97 deaths, of which 47 were from d;arrhcea, being three less than in the previous week, but 15 mare than the average; 15 were from scarlatina, 12 frcm typhus, 8 from pooping cough (less than in any week of the previous five nt• nths) ; 3 from choler a, 3 from small-pox (two unvaccinated), one from measles, one from croup, ono front uphill., and one from Impure. From diseases of the lungs, the deaths were 39, being six less than in the week pr ceeding. Two males, aged 29 and 39, died from delirium tremens. Of the 47 who died from diarrbces, 41 were below two years of age. Of the 237 died from all causes, 162 were children, and 75 adults. The mean temperature was 63 8-10 degrees, being more than six deg rees above the average. On Thursday, it was nearly 10 degrees ab we the average. The only day on - which rain tell, was on Monday, when 4 100ihs of an inch were collected. The Borough Engineer, Building Surveyor, and Inspector of Naifaaces reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the wed:, from which it appeared that 123 nuisances complained of by inhabi tants had been inspected, aryl means taken to remedy them ; 1,710 houses in the nnhealliest districts; con ain ing 5,931 apartments and 417 cellars, had been put under examination, with the view of improving their sanitory condition. TREASURER'S S CAPP. The TREASURER (Mr. White) reported that the duties of his office are greatly on the increase, arsing partly from the erection of new houses within the borough, and partly from the introduction of the system requiring owners of small property to com pound for the rates thereon. It is necessary that . some re-arrangement of the in-door department be made, and he, therefore, submitted, for the consideration of the Collection of Rates Joint B ub• Committee, a list s showing the present and pronnEed In the case of Mr. Wilson, the treasurer recommended a reduction of salary, lighter duties being assigned to him, in consideration of the state of his health. The annual expense of the present staff is £1,638, and the expense of the proposed staff will amount to £1,678, showing an increase of £4O. • The report was adopted. This concluded the business.

A RECENT C'oevraevenny.—The London csrrespondent of the Bury Guardian (a Tory newspaper) thus gossips whir his Lancastrian readers on the rubj , et of a recent war of words, in which a writer who signed himself " G. T." is thought to have had the best of i::—'• The Tupper case, which I noticed in last week's letter hoe increased in magnitude. A first-rate young satirist and poet at'acked he proverbial philrsopher in the Morning Star with such clever banter and such rich pAro.ly, that Tupper, kokirg to his laurels, attempted to ars ver in the Daily News. He made metters worse; squib after squib was fired at him, and Mar:in Farquhar at last retired, leaving Lis poetry (!) to the mercy of wicked critics, and himself to be laughed from the field. A man like Mr. 'Dinner, or any poet, who rhymes about everyaiing, must occasionaly please somebody; but one who, when our hearts are bleeding fur tt e w:ongs of cur mimeo, mounts, as it were, upon the shoulders of cur indignation to bawl forth his empty ballad verses—whi) gains popularity by the occasion, inste,d of making the occasion popular, is simely bee n and, blatant when he thinks he is poetic, and, instead of leading the people's mind, merely reaches with a feeble vice the great roar of thundered indignation which the nation long ago gave forth." AN AataniceN TRASEDY.—Taz Boston Rerald of Fest 8, gives an account of a shocking tragedy which heppened at Glaucester the day before, by which a husband and vvire have lost their livs. At about four o'clock on that'after.. noon ' Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, wife of M r . S amue l D av i s, lent her residence at Feist Gloucester in company with her two sisters and Mrs. Douglass, for a walk to Siyward's pasture, a short distance from the hoes>, for the purpose or picking berries. Mr. Davis soon followed, and after they bad got into the pasture he deliberately drew a small sized five chamber Colt's revolver and fired at his wife. The b,l/ took effect in the left side, just below the breast, passing throu - Th the heart and out at the b9ck. She in stantly fell dead. One of the sisters, Miss Ackley, was near by, and rushed to Mrs. Davis and said, " Speak tome, * sister." She received no avower. Mr. Davis is the mean time, walked off a rod o: two, and Miss Ackley ran to him -sad said. "You have abet my sister." He replied, "Dora', interfere," and fired the sec ntd time. The ball took off ct in the left arm. Mr. Davis, thou being about seventy-live feet from his wife, deliberately put the p'.stol to his own breast and fired. The ball took effec. near the heat and lodged. He fell on his face, and expired without a wad from his lips.' It is sated by another Boston' paper that the character of the woman was not good; that she spent three nights at the encampment at Islcwbiryplrt with other person., heving been escorted thither by a young man. Mr. Davis bad beet) absent some three week or so on a fishing Inner, end returned somewhat ti exp..ctely, to fiad his wife absent. Becoming acqu:ieted with the state of affairs on her return on Saturday, he had a qu-rrel with her, and they deliberately planned her punishment and his own death.

Vie nand weekly meeting of the members of this board wail held yesterday afternoon at the public offices, Park place, Park road. Mr.. G. Hlrsfall, the chairman, pre aided. The other ...guardians present were Messrs. J. Harrison, Robinson, Briscoe, .Eliddeley, Jones, Grindrod, Wilson, Ewing, McNicol, Alpass, and Leyland. OFFICIAL RZT URNS. The Master of the Workhouse reported that there were 357 paupers in the West Derby Wulkhouse, since when 30 had been admitted, 19 discharged. This week there were 371. In the hospital there were 36 patients, three admitted, two discharged, one death, leaving 36 ; total number of paupers balorging to Toxteth Park, 407. A t‘heque for £O6 was drawn for the maintenance of the out-door poor. THE MEDICLL OFFICERS. The Officers Committee recommsnded that the eslaries of the medical officers should be £175 each, and one at £125. On the motion of Mr. Alpass, it was decided that the medical officers should each reside in their respective districts, and that in the case of Dr. Whittle and others, the Clerk was instructed to write to those gentlemen, and inform them that they would be required to reside in their respective districts. The appointment of medical officers will take plate at the next meeting. TAR VALUATION OF TUE PROPERTY. This Board, in compliance with the wish of the West Derby Board, selected Mr. J. C. Stewart, as the valuzr of the property belonging to the West Derby Uniji. There being no further business the Board adjourned. ALLEGED SWINDLING BY A PUDSEY MA.NUFACTURER. At the Leeds Court House, on Wednesday, a nun of respectable appearance, named Benjamin Rinselift who described himself as a clothier, from Pudsey, was placed in the deck, chtrged with obtaining various parcels of woollen goods by fraudulent representations. A few weeks ago, Rinseliff was at the Leeds White Cloth Hall, looking over the cloths exposed in the various " streets " of that building. He afterwards waited upon Mr. Eyre, a clothier, from Eccleshill, near Bradford, and said that he had a commission to execute for Messrs. Atkinson, Brush, and Co (the Leeds successors to Messrs. A. Henry and Co.); that he wanted a peculiar quality and deecrip tion of woollen ; and that as he observed Mr. Eyre was exhibiting some cloths of that particular kind, he would negociate the bargain. —Mr. Eyre said he had no objection to Hinscliff taking the goods to Messrs. Atkinson and Co's warehouse ; and allowed him to trice them away, first stipulating that the lowest price for them was to be 6s 7d per yard. Not hearing any more of the transaction for several days, Mr. Eyre came over to Leeds, and went to Messrs. Atkinson, Brush, and Co.'s office. Here he found several pieces of his cloth. which he was informed hal been purchased from the prisoner at 5s 9d per yard, on Hinscliff representing himself as Eyre's partner in business. Mr. Sheepshanks, ano her large merchant, had also purchased several ends of cloth from the prisoner, at the same low figure per yard, and these were also identified by Mr. Eyre. There were several other cases against the prisoner, which brought up the amount of his frau lulent transactions to near £2,000 ; and as time was necessary to complete the evidence, the magistrates remanded Hinscliff until Saturday next. AMERICAN VESSELS FOR TIIE RUSSIAN NAVY. (From the New York Journal of Commerce ) Preparations are now in progress at Webb's Shipyard . for laying the keel of the great Russian frigate (propeller) of 80 guns, the contract hr the construction of which was closed a few months ago. The original proposition (about five years ago) for the building of this vessel provided for three tiers of guns, but Mr. Webb at that time advised the adoption of a plan for only two tiers, and this has finally been settled on. The guns are disposed in a similar manner on the Merrimac, Wabash, and other war vessels recently added to the American navy. The main dimensions of the Russian frigate are nearly as follow : Length, 330 feet ; width, 55 feet ; depth, 36 feet. The engines, two in number, will have a stroke of 3 feet 9 inches, with a cylinder about 84 inches in diameter. The vessel will be full rigged. In giving the contract for this vessel to one of our citizens, it was the design of the Russian Government to obtain a ship which should be a model of strength, symmetry, and all other desirable features in naval architecture, and complete in all the d tails of its equipments. A splendid cabin will be fitted up for the use of the Admiral of Russia. The furniture and table ware will be of the most superb description. The vessel will probably be ready for launching in the fall of 1858, and will be completed and delivevd in the spring of 1859, A s rong foundation of timber for the support of the stocks, on which she will rest, has been laid dee) in the earth, to guard against the sinking of the great we'ght abeve. Mr: Webb is also building foe the Russian Government a corvette (propeller) of 10 guns, destined for service at the _ Russian Ports in the Pacific Ocean. The dimensions are —length, 220 feet ; width, 37 feet, and depth, 18 feet. She will be provided with two oscillating engines from the Novelty Works, of 300 horse power, and 3 feet stroke, with cylinders 54 inches in diameter. Her construction will be very strong. She will have a light draught of only 13 or 14 feet, to enable 11 ,, r to move easily among the waters of the Maslen Pacific ports. The vessel (which will be full rigged) will prcb.►bly be ready for lauchiug early rkat year. At LRWI; & Co ' , IPANY'S, Ranelagh-street.

PRIZE FLOUT BETWEEN BEN CAUNT • AND NAT LARCH tWI POE £2OO A SIDE —The supporters of the P.R. are already aware that the passage of areas between these men has been pending for a long time past. Thera is no necessity here to record the anteceden , s of the men, for both are well 'known to every one who has read the history of tlae, ring fcr the pa-.t fifteen to twenty years. A period of nearly a dozen years has now, with all' its eventful changes, passed away since Ben Caunt lest fig iced within the ropes and stakes, the last occasion being when he con tended with Rendigo, of Nettingham, by whom he had the rnertification to be defeated. Since that event Caunt, until the present match, has been cofitent with his position a; mine boat of the Coach and Horses, St. M and it was ineaoed that he would never again appear within the rep a, and that, mare pa-ticularly, as he had :Anneal , ced his retirement from the ring. The last time Nat Laigham fi4ared in the arena was with the present champion of England, Torn Sayers, whom he defeated after a game battle. This took place nearly four years since, and Larg!sam, like Caun', was considered to have retired. Tee difference between the combatants in height, weight, &c., vials particelarly striking, for Caunt, in addition to b. ing nearly th - ee stone the heavier, was also much the taller, standing in stocking-feet 6 feet 2i- inches. The men were both c aefi lent ' • indeed, Caunt himself thought that, as rega r d e d th e battle, it was all over bar shouting. An aquatic trip was agreed upon; and four boats ware eageged in c inveying the partisans of the men to the scene of action. these b ing the Princess Royal, C ty of Rachester, - Ben nolr. and the William Swann. The debarkation was effected on Stanley Island, in the River Medway, about, ten miles from Chatham. Toe men, however, to - getting into the ring before half-past four o'clock, and owing to it being so late before hostili ies were cemaarnsed, the cnnttst, from the intervention of darkness was not brought "to any defieite c mclusion. Laughlin] was waited on' by John M`Danald and Tom Sayers, while Jemmy Sli lee and John Gill did the attentive for " Big Ben," who was the favourite in b tting. From 'he opening round, Nat displayed the superiority of his science, and in each succeeding bout he planted on hi' opponent in a manner that was quite surprising, doing so repeatedly with the utmost force and precision, and also cot away from his antagonist's returns with great ability. Each f. esh roun I rat but a repetition of the last, Lang ham, in almost all, forcing the fighaing, while ()aunt, as he followe I his man, seemed repeatedly not a little bothered at finding he could not' get home with his swinging hits. As the battle progressed, he hart his right head against the stake, renderiag it almost useless, In Gne, we iniq barfly say that-in the whole sixty rounds, occapying one hour and forty minutes, although Nat seemed leading, there was not to be sufficient daylight for a deft rite result ; the referee, therefore, pronounced it to he a,draii-, and as both these veterans have done everything for honour, we believe the intention of their backers is not to anew them to meet again, Lsngban declares he will by ne means consent to a draw, as prersed ; therefore, ace,ording to the rules of the P.R., the men will hate to meet again within the Week.

The annual meeting of the Chemists' Association was held last evening, in the Royal Instiiution, Colquitt street, the President, Mr. Abrahams, in the chair. LIVERPOOL. (BEFORE MR. DIXON.) Some routine business having been disposed of, the Secretary, Mr. Mercer, read the bilowing REPORT. " Upon all former occasions in preserving the annual report, your Council have been able to congratulate their fellow members on the improved position of the .Assoeis tion, and its increasing gro with in usefulness and strength ; and it is now their pleasing d sty, at the c'ose of the eighth session of the Society's proceedings, to present a report still more favourable than any that have preceded it. 'I here are a present 128 members an 12 associates; in connection with the Association, and you: Council refer wall great satisfaction to the =side:able increase in this number of members during the past session, 50 having been elected since the last report. They would like to see a corres ponding increase in the number of associates, the proportion at present taking advantage of the facilities for education affereed by the Society being very ernell, compared with the numb at within as easy distance of its operations ; for the association ndw possesses within itself, with its exten sive library, systematically arranged museum, pharmaceu tical meetings, and course of laboratory instruction, every facility 'for giving a sound prac ical chemical and. pharmaceutical education to the rising generation of chemists and druggists, sufficient to qualify them for the satisfactory performance of their daily labours. raise the character of the profession to which they belong, and enable theme with per- everence and industry, creditably to pass the examinations of the pharmaceutical, society, without the nece 3' ofanylengtheaed stay in the metropolis. Tice usual number of pharmaceutical meetings has been held during the Session, and the supply of Scientific com mitnicatians, both of local and g-eeral interest, has been suffic'ent to attract not only the attention of the profession but also of the general public. Indeed your council have had much satisfaction in observing the great interest the public take in the subjects brought forward and discussed at these meetings, and their appreciation of the purposes for which the Association was established; and they would be glad to see the privilege of introducing friends, partic ularly medical men, more frequently taken advantage of by their fellow-members, as many of the subjects brought forward are of as much interest to the medical as they are to the Pharmaceutical profession, and their talents and prof ess i ona l exper i ence would materially contribute to the interest, and increase the value of the discussions which are continually, and often unexpectedly, arising Your council hare received a very satisfactory report from the librarian Mr. T. D. Walker, of the con dition and working of 'the library during the past session. Since the last report, 63 volutneS have been added, making the total number now in the library 230. The circulation has increased f:om 217 to 303 vols., and the amount received for fines is £2 2e 6d The expenditure in the purchase of books during the year has been very limits 1, in consequence of the heavy demands on the funds of the society for the fitting up of the museum, which have necessarily been considerable, but ychtr council propose, early in the next session, to make a large adaition of valuable works to the library, In their, last report, your council referred to the success which had attended their endeavours to establish a Museum of Materia Medics and Chemistry, and to the large number of specimens which had then boon presented, These re cinired to be classified, and the Museum Committee have devoted much time and attention to this duty, on the effi cient performance of which, the museum for educ ational purposes materially depends. The museum was formally opened in December last, on which occasion your council held a conversazione, the rooms of the Royal Institutis n having been kindly placed at their service by the committee. This conversazione was eminently successful, there having.' been up wards of 400 visitors presen` ; and it gave your council much pleasure to find that the museum and the arrange ments for the evening afforded general satisfaction There are still many specimens wanting to render the museum complete, but even now it is, for the purpose of the student, a highly valuable collection, and though still in its in fancy, it is second only, as a Pharmaceutical Museum, to that of the Pharmaceutical Society in London. The public mind having been much excite I by recent cases of poisoning, marked by features of great atrocity, a strong wish has bean expressed that the legislature should do something to prevent such incidents, whether arising from crime or. accident. Accordingly, the government intro duced a bill into the HMG of Lerda to restrict and re gulate the sale of poisons.' No portion of the public will rejoice more than your council in the es ablishment - of regu lations ceculated to attain the end proposed, but your council were of opinion that whilst the bill would interfere vary much with your basiness,and with the interests of the pubic, it would nst in any degree attain its oleiest, and that instead of regulating a certain class of sales, namely, those in small quanti t i es to t h e po ;re it would only transfer them to a less responsible and more num,/ one class of tracieszt‘n. Your council, in accordance with your direction, petitioned against the bill, and deputed Messrs. Abraham., Edwards, and Mercer, to support their allega tions before the Select Committee to whom it was referred. By the kindness of the Earl of Darby, the two formergen tlemea obtained an audience of the committee, by whom they were most attentively and courteously listened to, and their evidence is reported verbatim in the blue book, which has beenepresented with an amended bill. Your council are glad to te..y that the latter is much less cbjectionable than the original, and that the committee, omitting- many pro visions, which, besides being irksome, would have pre vented its effectual working, have recognised the principle maintained by your council, that 'the legislature can do nothing towards the attainment of the object, unless the sale f the substances i n eptestion be confi 'led to respect a bl e an d ° co mpetent persons.' The cu r tail men t o f t h e schedules of p3pions, and the relaxation of some of the restricrons upon sales, render the bill more practicable, but the provisions re s pecting angular bottles, a poison closet, and colouring, are embarrassing and of very doubtful utility. The com mittee have introduce t provisions for establishing a Board who are to examine all parsons- desirous of selling poisons. end to give or withhold from them permission. Persons who have been in business one ye r are to be exempted for five years ; after that they also are to prove their qualifications. The Board is to be constituted of three government nominees, and of three other persons deputed respectively by the Pharmaceutical Society, the College of Physicians, and the Society of apothecaries. Your council regret that any other body than the Pharmaceutical Society should have been natnel for such a purpose, as they are already authorised by act of Parliament to examine candidates in pharmacy, and they are the only organisation which has, in this country, done anything towards the improvement of th 3 practice of pharmacy. Moreover, the proposed constitution of the board is a violation of the principle of self government, hitherto universally adopted in the formation of the examining bodies of all other professions. A copy of the bill, and of the report, with the evidence taken by the Lord, Committee, will be found in the library It is h - -ped that these will receive the attentive examination of the members, and the farther progress of the bill will be carefully watched by your Council. It is proper that the attention of apprentices and assistants should be empha'ically called to the direction in which legislation is tending. Educational qualifications are becomirg more and more important, and even essential to the prosecution of their business. Your council have received from Dr. E awards a very favourable report of the laboratory_ class, and are glad to Rod that several of the present pupils have belor ge3 to former sessions, and have p oved by their sustained industry and application that they have appreciated the instruction given, and taken a Just view of their opportunities and responsibilities- Of the students who have prosecute' the it chemical studies in this laboratory, six have passed the examination of the Pharmaceutical Society with credit, after devoting short periods to special prepara tion, and two more are nom so engaged, and your council trust that a succession •of qualified candidates will be kept up; thus affording the highest encouragement to the association to persevere in their disinterested labours for the bsnefit of young men. It has been the practice of Dr. Edwards to vary the course of Lectures every session. The subjects hitherto embraced have been,- 1. Chemical Philosophy; 2, the Metalloids; 3, the Metals and their Salts ; and he purposes, during the coming session, to confine his remarks to the prepara tions of the London Pharmacopoeia. These lectures will be delivered every Monday evening, at half-past seven, and your Council hope they will be attended by some who cannot make it convenient to enter for the full laboratory coarse. The succe-sfal competitor for the President's Prize at the examination of the laboratory class this year was Mr. J. W. Taylor, apprentice with Messrs. Til‘Guffie and Co. The Members of Council who retire from office this year are Messrs. Coupland, Edwards, Jones, and Wright, all of whom are elig ble for re election." B &FORE MR. B LTON. Faxoctous DJG.—Edward Roberts, the keeper of a public house in Great Howard -street, was summoned for having a ferocious dog. It was shown that the dog flew at three children and a man. The defence was that the dog was a water spaniel, awl as qa.iet as a lamb.. He was fined 23 6d and 24 6d costs. LIVBRPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT.-YE'TERDAY BEFORE ME. COMMISSIONER PERRY.

Mr. Evans supported the bankrupt, and urged that whatever complaint the general body of creditors might hav, though they off,red no opposition, Mr. Dodge's clients had in jititice no ground whatever to complain of a debt of £l7O. The bankrupt paid them £lOO in cash, just as tbey were abaut to make him a bankrupt, and 83 fir from they coespliisiog of his con duct the creditors had reason to complain of them.

DE3TEUCTION OF OLD ROCHESTER 13 FIDGM-0/1 Ttle3- I day afternoon some inheres ing mining experiments were cartied into effect by the Royal Engineers at Rochester ol i bridge, at the be'ght of spring tide, c )mmencing at 2.30. The mining operations were in charge of Captain Noble. The whore of the Engineer officers, together with those belonging to the service of the East India Com pany, and the non-commissioned officers and privates of the Royal En&aers, to the number of upwards of 1,000 men, wore stationed in the vincinity of the works, and every piece of vantage ground which commanded a view of the operations was civored with speeators, there being some thousands. The work of destruction commenced at the lower eortni of the 'ourth arch, which was thrown down by two charges of gunpreder of 41b , . each, which had been lodg.d in one of the voussoirs of each haunch and two charges of l'b. each lodgeclin the voussoirs and the key stop-.

One of the witnesses is the case, in reply to 'lira, sail he heard the primer was abant to give up the hsase, as she was g)ing co be married. Several witnesses were examined, and Sully proved the case. Mr Bluck said the prisoner had given up the house, and as she was to be married he trusted his worship would not frustrate that event by sending her for trial. She was sent feg trial—for all that! Catherine Washting was charged with a like offence, and sent for trial. several other women were charged with like offences, and also sent for trial. STABBING BY SPANIARD 3 —Tcio Spanish sailors were charged . with having stabbed a - sailor named John Johnston. The parties me'. in a dance house in Spading street, where they had some quarrel, and, is complainant alleged, one of the prisoners knocked him down and the other stabbed him. Sirgeon Pope said th ere were two stabs on complainant's head, cut into the bine, but he did' not apprehend any danger from the wounds. Ttle prisoners were dieeharged, as th 3 evidence of identffimtion was not sufficient. DI/WANG —Daniel Fitzpatrick, a 'dock " duffer," was chsrged with having swindled Wm. Little, a "green 'un," from Cumberland. 'Mr. Campbell was for the,prisouer. The usual means adopted , by ' dock swindlers were resorted t 3 on this occasion by the prisoner, who managed to "stick" the verdant one fn. 17s for the usual valuatle shawl (value ab mt 61d.) and gold chain Mr Clough was proceedi-g to examine a witness, when Mr. Campbell' objecte3, stating that under the 6 and 7 Victoria, chap 73, see 3, no person could act as an aivo cate, except an admitted attorney. Mr. Dixon said the practice had been allowed by the magistrates, and he would not now prevent it. Mr. Garnett, the chief clerk, said the question should be raised before Mr Mansfield. Mr. Campbell said he would do so. Ths defence was an alibi, attempted to be proved by a brother " duffer" of the prisoner. Mr. Clough asked the witness how many daffers there were in Liverpool, and the fellow replied, with seeming innocence, " Oh, there are now too many, and we can't do much business." (Loud laughter.) The prisoner was remanded for further evidence. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF WATCLIES, &C Farrel!, the keeper of a beerhousa in Cheapside, and Francis Kelly, the keeper of another beerhouee in Hatton Garden, we:e brought up by two detective Officers from Dublin. named Ryan, and Keegan, on the fallowing charge. Mr. Snow ball was for the prisoners. Ryan sold, on the 16th instant he was at the detective office in Dublin, when he received information that there was a man in a jeweller's shop convenient, wh3 was offerin r some gold for sale in a sus - picious manner. Ile sent Keegan (the other officer), and arrested him, and he found a large number of gold and silver Fetches w:th him. One gol I watch, he said, he bought from a sailor, in Liverpool, and another from the mate of a ship, and that he gave £3 103 and a silver watch for it. He said he brought another from a dealing man, but could not tell where the persons were that he pa . chased them from. Another gold watch and chain, be said, belonged to his brother, who etas dead about a year ago He also got some gold przrd chains with him, and. £l6 in money. He would not tell where he lodged in Dublin, but they found .ut, and got his wife there, and got some watches and £lB 10s. with her. Keegan said he got the gold bars now produced with the prisoner. and he then corroborated the statement of Ryan. Mr. Chadwick, who is in the employment of Mr. Samuels, watchmaker, Duke- . street, proved that the bar s were sto l en f rom t h at h ouse ; they were worth twelve or fourteen pounds ; gold was missed from time to time In reply to Mr. Snowball, the witness said he knew the gold, because he d-ew it through a certain shape, which he produced and, beside, the shears with which it was cut was peculiar and left a peculiar mark on the bars. Detective officer Horn said he searched the prisoner Farrell's, beer house, in Cheapside, and get six watches and a quantity of jewellery there. He'had not yet been able to find owners, but for some of the watches found in Dublin, there were owners then in court. Mr. lease Crosthwaite said he had examined the watches and revgaisecl one of them as his property ; but the initial letter " C," was changed to an " E," and the number 1,061 charged to 1,062. • He said it was stolen on the 15th May *Ryan said he found that watch on the prisoner in publin. Mrs. M'Allister, of Dublin-st eat, sa id t h e steward of the ship Middleton lodged with her, and he had a gold watch, and she knew the watch She recognised it amongst the other watches. This was stolen from the cabin of the ship on the Bth August. It was got with the prisoner Farrell in Dublin. Detective officer Laycock said the prisoners had a conversation in the office that morning, when the prisoner Farrell said be purchased the gold watch from Kelly, and gave him a silver watch and -.C3 10s for it. He searched the prisoner Kelly's house, and found four pawn-tickets relating to pledged watches and gold chains, but he had no' had time yet to make enquiry about them. A young woman, a daughter of Farrell, was examined, and said she remembered the prisoner Kelly coming to her father's, and selling hiin the gold watch for s sifFerone and £3 10s. Mr. Clough asked for a remand, which was granted for seven days, to give time for further enquiry, and to find owners for the watches and chains TEE GREAT LANDING STAGE. TO THE EDITOR, OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—So "Humanity;'' in a spirit of philanthropy, has come forward ,as the champion of the `. smokers," and the " females o f a cer t a i n class. " don't 'envy him the thanks and gratitude his advodacy may win him, of • either class of public nuisances.. • "Humanity" evidently wants a "clear stage" for himself and friends, anti argues that if either one or; the other should prove obnoxious to any of the other frequenters of the stage, such parties have the remedy in their own hands, namely, to "abandon it" (the stage) to the smokers.and the females aforesaid—a proposition, that savours more of selfishness' than any other feeling, except it be exclusiveness. But he is welcome to his company. N " Hum - anitj , " accuses Ma and others of a dispo sition to " - restrict the liberty of the subject," and says, speaking of the stage—" It being a public promenade, and open .to the public in general (he does not say to the universal public) I therefore can not see the slightest reason to prohibit, smoking, or use any measures to "prohibit the,working and lower classes (beggars, I suppose, he means) of availing themselves of its benefit." Exacily so. It is because I wish the middle, and especially the " working classes," the full benefit of this delight. ful marine parade, that I desire the drawbacks alluded to maybe withdrawn. With reference to the "liberty of the subject," " Humanity" may be aware that a "certain class of females" are not admissible into the theatres, nor into certain of our public streets ; neither should such a moral pestilence be suffered to con= taminate the precincts of the Great Landing Stage.—Y9urs, &c A VtsiTuß• • September 24,1857. CANADA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sta,—Your remarks upon Canada, in your. paper of this morning, have attracted the attention of those who—like myself—have spent much of our lives there ; and are still intimately connected with the Colony —and we have all come to the same conclusion respecting the remarks alluded to. We shall, in the first place,'out of courtesy, presume that you may, yourself, have glanced hurriedly over some of the clonial newspapers, and may, on the spur of the moment, have penned the, remarks in q ues tio n , w i t h out seeking information from some one connected with the colony, who could have given you more correct ideas. But, if we are correct in be lieving that the. remarks referred to were not written in your office, but 'contributed," then the responsibility rests on other shoulders of publish ing what, in its assertions, we declare to be false, and in its tone is dishonest and unworthy of an Englishman. The pas sage re f erre d to opens thus— . " The mutiny in the Indian army seems to have spread to the British forces in Canada." It is insulting in the highest degree to make such a remark, and preposterously false in logic, s as no comparison can be instituted between the Indian Mutineers and the desertions in Canada, which arise from the Very simple fact that, by crossing the lines into the United States, a man gets 8s a t day in place of Is. • The attempt to write down Montreal is so very transparent that the reference to 0 Montreal Frater nization with Mutineers" is hardly worth our notice. There is in Montreal, as in every large city, a bad " quarter ;" and the lower class of Irish who inhabit Griffintown are proverbially "-mauvais sujets," and had been irritate I by the very decides conduct of Mr. Tryon, of the 38th, who, very properly, shot one of the "rowdies" who attempted to interfere with him in the prosecution of his duty. Again, you say-- "This is not even yet the worst—bad as it is-- and requires an example to be made. Montreal, or the rowdy portion of it, and that is nearly the whole of it, is decidedly as disloyal as she was in 1849, when she issued that celebrated manifesto sonoerning a peaceable separation from the mother country." This is totally and utterly false. Of all the cities in her Majesty's dominions there is not one more loyal than Montreal. If the above was written in ignorance, we have no doubt you will be glad to find you were mistaken ; but, if by a corresponient, we can only entertain contempt for one, who, for private or corporate ends., c3uld endeavour to cast a doubt on the loyalty of a Province, or throw a falao colour on the easily explained desertions of a few blackguards, at a time when we surely have more than enough to give us pain and anxiety, and when none are more devotedly loyal than the ANGLO-CANADIANS [We have no hesitation in giving insertion to the above, leaving to our readers to determine how far the remarks we made yesterday were justified by the ample reports we published in the shape of extracts from the Canadian journals.—ED. N. TIMES MRS. ROGERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—ln order that you may be satisfied that I am sincere and alwus mean what I say, I have this day taken the liberty of enclosing to you half a sovereign on behalf of Mrs. Rogers, widow of the late Captain Rogers, and her fatherless children. lam a very poor man, otkervhse I would hive given a larger sum. If every man and every woman, in Liverpool alone, were to give as much as I have given, in accordance with their circum stances, the sum given would astonish men and angels. I have been informed that from thirty to forty thousand men, women, and children gathered themselv,s together on the morning of the execu tion, in order to witness a poor unfortunate fellow -creature launched into eternity by the wretched hangman. I trust I shall newer hear it again boasted on platforms and in pulpits that we are the envy of surrounding nations; after the scene at Kirkdale, we ought properly to be called a nation of barbarians. Suppose an angel of distinction had been sent to the earth on the morning in question, and had a courier spirit assigned to him as a guide, no doubt, when hovering over Kirkdale, he would have said to his guide—" You are -ignorant of your business ; you undertook to conduct me to the earth, and you have brought me into hell." Doubtless the guide would have answered him thus—" I have made no mistake ; this is really the earth, and this vast multitude are men, women, and children who rejoice at the slaughter of their fellow-creatures."— Yours, &c., A WELSHMAN.

It has always been the custom, on the occasion of swearing-in the new sheriffs of Lend, n and Middles x, and also the 1 ord Mayor, for the civic proces ions to take water at London Bridge or Blackfriars, and proceed thence to Westminster; but on the coining swearing-i❑ of the sheriffs, that time-honoured practice will be abandoned. The swealieg-in of the new sheriffs (Messrs. Lewrence and Allen) on Monday next, wilt pro sent a new feature, and be rendered memorable by the fact that it will be the first time within the reco!lection of the "oldest iatabitant," ef the sheriffs of London and Mild esex proceeding to 'Westminster on such au occa sion by land ins'ead of water. The procession will be formed at Guillhall, and from there) proceed, by St. Paul's, Ludgate-hill, Fleet -street, and the S'rand to West rniester-ball, arriving about two o'clock, when the usual formula of counting hebneils, chopping faggots, adminis tering the oaths, &e , 011 be gene thiongb.
