- SATURDAY EVENING'S CONCERT. I On Saturday evening Mr. HENRY PHILLIPS, the well-known ballad singer, gave one of his popular musical entertain ments at the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street. The hall was densely crowded, and the Mayor (S. Howm, Esq.). pre sided. Mr. Phillips opened the concert with a brief address to the audience, in which he pointed out the elevating ten dencies of music, and laid down a few rules for the guidance of those anxious to cultivate the art. A 3 to the merits of the address, and a passing dissertation on poetry in general, into which he was tempted, we shall merely re mark that we consider they had much better been omitted, and that Mr. Phillips had confined himself to that in which he really is excellent, and not have approached too near the confines of the ludicrous, in his attempt to popularize, or make plain a very noble and a very subtle theme. The mo tive, no doubt, was good, but the result cannot be elevating. The programme contained a number of Dibdin's celebrated sea songs, and a variety of other ballads equally- well known, and in each and every [one of them Mr. Phillips was de servedly applauded. In theinterval between the two parts of the entertainments, Mr. Caine came forward and addressed the assemb . After remarking on the excellence of the entertainment provided for them, he observed that the success of the hall was owing to two causes. The first of these was, that in Liverpool there were some thousands of working men who preferred rational recreation. and the exercise of the faculties which God had . given to them, to the trash that was offered to them in what were nick-named " Free C oncer t s ." (Hear, hear.) He confessed he burned with indignation when he saw posted on the walls of the town various placards, proclaiming "A treat for working men," "Amuse ment for the million," " Classical entertainment for the people." Classical, indeed ! A man making a monkey of himself (laughter), but he can not wonder that these places were availed of, : when Parliament legalised and a bench of Magistrates licensed:theist. (Applause). They were told forsooth, that these places were requisite to such a po pulation as that of -Liverpool. He replied that they were not requirek(hear, hear), and that it was a stigma upon the people of Liverpool to assert the contrary. (Applause). The institution success of that was evidence that such places were not required in Liverpool, and he had even before him then two thousand witnesses to the fact. The other cause of their success was that gentlemen of wealth and station had from time to time come forward, and taken part in their proceed ings. He did not say that they condescended to do thi s , f or he did nos know in such a case what condescension was. A gentleman was but a man, and every man might be a gentle man if he liked. (Applause). He knew no better gentlemen than those who were in the habit of meeting within the walls of the hall. He had stood on the stairs and watched the crowd passing into the room, and amongst them he had noticed hundreds of young girls—veritable • unprotected fe males ". (laughter). Now if they were going to the circus orthe theatre, they would take withthem a stout fellow with astick to protect them, but when they came to that hall, they knew they had the protection of manly hearts, of men who would act as gentlemen and treat them as ladies, and they never yet had been disappointed. (Applause.) In conclusion, he would call on them to express their grateful acknowledg ments to the Mayor, who had come forward in the most dignified manner, and lent the influence of his station as a sanction and approval of their proceedings. They had a right to acknowledge it, and, in addition, his liberality, which he, (Mr. Caine) as the treasurer , well knew. He had found him (the Mayor) liberal minded, and liberal handed, and when a man possessed these qualities, he was truly liberal, let him go by what name he would. (Loud applause.) The MAYOR then came forward, and was enthusiastically greeted. Having expressed his thanks for the warmth of his reception, he said, that it was in that hall he had first the pleasure of meeting his assembled townsmen, when their representatives in the council had done him the honor of placing him in the civic chair ; and as Mayors, during the period of their office, were compelled, like Shakspeare's characters, to play many parts, he again appeared before them for the last time ere he transferred the office which he filled, to he hoped a more worthy successor. He almost regretted that the custom of such assemblies somewhat interfered with the harmony, -because after the excellent music to which they had been listening with such pleasure, and after the poetry which they had heard, he was afraid they would consider him rather prosy (no, no,) if he ventu re d t o a dd ress them at any great length. That he would not do. They would permit him, however, to say, that he did not think when a man accepted the office of chief magistrate, that he ought to have a pitch-plaster put over his mouth, (applause,) and he contended that whether he was in Liverpool, or wherever else he might be, if he filled the office a-right, he ought to bring all its influence to bear upon those thi ngs which-were for the benefit of mankind, and particularly for the benefit of all classes of the town; over which he was called on to preside. (Applastse..) He' had pleasure, therefore, in meeting them there in his public, as well as in his private capacity, and as he had pleasure on a former occasion in meeting them there, to witness the recreation they deserved, and which they ought to have after their labour, so again he met them that night at the end of his stewardship with renewed feelings of respect and attach ment, (Applause). They had met there in cordiality to enjoy rational recreation, and they enjoyed more, for they had provided for them a musical treat of a very superior ausesrperon. - araiiktne. required recreation. The body became excited, the mind became untuned by labour, and rest and recreation were the restoratives which nature pointed out. Tint recreation to be useful should be innocent, and such as could bear the reflection of a subsequent period: and he had seen' nothing in the. (msssstaneuts which were provided for them there, but such as every one might cordially join in, and such as he thought were deserving of the support of the whole of the community. (Hear, hear). A man might have, indeed, the excitement of the spirit shop, which might elevate him for a moment, only subsequently the more seriously to depress him. They should have variety of occu pation both physically and mentally, for nature taught them that variety was beneficial. He knew what it was in early days to work six days in the week from six in the morning until six at night as well as others (applause) he knew, that after his labour, the working man required bow to be unstrung, and the arrow to be placed in the quiver, and thst his mind, as well as his body, should have that variety which was so necessary for the preservation of his health and comfort. (Applause). And amongst the amusements which were rational, he looked upon music as being one of the richest treats, not only . the music which ; icy derived from the instrument,. but just as Shakspeare eke of their finding " s ermon s m stones, and good in everything," (renewed applause), so likewise, mu s i c was not merely confined to instruments, but they could find it in everything they saw, and in all they' heard around them. He could hear music in the sad sighing of the wind when he was alone. He could hear it in the various intonations of the human voice ; and how remarkable it was in the cis ative power of God, that there were not in the world two human voices nor two human faces exactly alike. They might discern music if they seriously thought, in the boom ing of the gun which announced the arrival of the trans atlantic steamer. They might find it while walking on the edge of the town, in the accumulated sound of ten thousand voices, which were borne on the breeze, when the world seemed waking and going to labour. He could discern mu sic in the clanging of the ten thousand hammers which were wielded by the brawny arms of the working men in this town. He could find music in the human voice when it was uttering the tender accents of affection, of pity, or of love; and he could hear music celestial strains—when he heard it uttered by the voice of an affectionate wife when she gave her husband a hearty welcome, and when he came home and found his fireside clean, and when he received the smiles of those whom he loved, and who loved him : and if there was any music in the spheres, it was such music as that. (Loud applause.) He spoke to the young men, apprentices, who were present, and he besought them, instead of spend ing their time in the club-room or the tavern, or in those filthy and abominable places—free concerts, which dis graced and disfigured the town, to cultivate music. Let them attend to the cultivation of their own minds in other respects. What wonders there are, for instance, in the very rudiments of chemistry ; o r i n as t ronomy , and in its study become acquainted with the myriads of worlds rolling through the eternity of countless space. They had now a public library which was placed at their disposal, and they were asked to go there, instead of to the low haunts of dissipation, which he was sorry to say so many visited, and endJavour to rise in the intellectual scale. Let them be ree solved to rise in making use of the talents which a bountiful God had given them, and they might depend on it th a t if they said so, they would obtain that happiness and pros perity which no other course they might pursue could attain for them. • Many blamed the laws, the social system, and the institutions under, which they lived, but they forgot that they had a right more frequently to blame themselves ; for it was they themselves Who . ....e generally the cause of their want of success. (Applause.) No thoughtful man could sit on the magisterial bench, and - ivitne'ss the misery brought before him, the result of drunkenness, and not shudder. More than half the crimes which had been brought before him in his magisterial capacity h a d b, D v drill ' , enness, and when he was chairman of th last assizes, he found that two-thirds of th, total crime sprung from drunkenness. Look at the domestic b look at the reckless husband and the broken hearted wife look at the ragged children, and the misery and vice whi, in every shape filled their courts of law, and when he kne\ that all this took its rise in:drunkenness, he would be guilty o, - violence to his own feelings if he did not caution every man to avoid the places which he had described, as they would be the destruction of their body and soul. (Applause). Th e mayor then narrated how whe n travelling some time ago for health, he met an old gentleman in Nice, whose sole object seemed to be the doing of good. Having become acquainted with him, he learned from his own lips the history of his life. He was born in one of the eastern counties, and reared in a workhouse. He was then bound apprentice to a sweep in London, and when out of his time he became 0 -' grand jury at the chimni and worked on lull his verance and assiduity La.. -- This he was spending when the mayor met him, in works of charity in acknowledgment of God's goodness, and attributed his SUCCCS S i n li fe to his sobriety, an d never entering 'a public house. In conclusion, his worship hoped that though out of the committee would not fail to invite him again to Assemblies. (Applause). . mafortuneof£lob,ooo THE PRESTON STRIKE LFROM OUR OWN REPORTER PRESTON, SATURDAY EVENING Premising that the conduct of the multitude of unem ployed factory operatives thronging our streets continues to be most exemplary, marked, as it is, by a strict observance of the law, I proceed to report what has transpired since the date of my last despatch. TRADES' DELEGATE MEETING. Last evening, delegates from the various trades of this town met at the Farmers' Arms, and adopted the annexed resolution :—" That we, the trades' delegates, assembled for the purpose of inquiring into the affairs, and supporting the cause of the factory operatives, have, after mature delibera tion on the unhappy differences existing between them and their employers, found, that the speech of Mr. Cowell, in re ply to the Editor of the Times, coupled with that of the address emanating from the committee of the power-loom weavers, in answer to the masters' address, to be an honest exposition of the differences alluded to, that the statements severally put forth are a just refutation of the allegations recently made by the associated masters ; and that conse quently we have implicit confidence in the operatives and their several. committees ; and that, so long as they continue to act in the same peaceable and orderly mann er as h as hitherto characterized their proceedings, we will give them our sympathy and support." OPEN AIR MEETING OF OPERATIVES This afternoon, a meeting was convened in the Orchard, at which Mr. George Cowell was called upon to preside. The attendance was not so numerous as upon some former occasions. The CHAIRMAN criticised the masters' manifesto, charging the authors of it with mi sre p resentat i on and falsehood. He challenged them to a discussion. Let them have a meeting in the Theatre, the Temperance-hall, or the Corn Exchange, and when both parties had been heard, the public would be able to judge who was in the right. In the masters' ad- I dress it was stated that the weavers of Messrs. Birley were the best paid in th 3 town. That showed how they could misstate facts. The cloth made at Birley's was of a fine fabric, and the weavers had asked for an advance of 14d. upon two cuts—an eightpenny and a sevenpenny one. That was sufficient to rebut the assertion that they had turned out after having been offered an advance of Id. per cut. With respect to the statement that the hands of Messrs. Birley were the best paid in the town, he had mentioned the supe rior quality of the cloth they wove, and now it only remained for him to finish the contradiction by stating that those hands would not have received so . much as the hands of Mr. Paul Catterall by id. in the two cuts he had quoted. As to Mr. Bashall's hands, they were not offered any advance until they struck work, and when a deputation had an interview with their employer, they were unable to come to any pro per understanding. Something was said about Mr. Taylor's hands ceasing work on account of the dismissal of an over looker. Now it so happened that the overlooker who was discharged had been one who had made himself busy in the affairs of the union. The conduct of the hands was only such as might naturally be expected under the circumstances, one who had sought to promote their welfare being dis missed, and a new man introduced. Looking at the general aspect of the 10 per cent. question, he felt assured there was no reason to despair of success, for the whole country sym pathised with them, and rendered them pecuniary support. Mr. BROWN (of Blackburn) and Mr. GitnonAlu (of Great Harwood) subsequently addressed the meeting, but enunciated nothing new. Three cheers having been given for the ten per cent, the assembly dispersed. THE BOILER EXPLOSION AT BLACKBURN. CORONER'S INQUEST. BLACKBURN, SATURDAY NIGHT. The district coroner, Mr. J. Hargreaves, commenced an inquest this morning at the sessions' room, in this town, on view of the bodies of the seven sufferers by the boiler explosion at Mr. Hesketh's weaving shed, Starkie-street, on Wednesday last. Subjoined is a correct list of the deceased :—Edward Sharpies, engine tender, aged b 3; Thomas Sharpies, weaver, son of the above, 17 ; Thomas Bretherton, loomer, 36; James Howarth, fireman, 27 ; James Clegg, weaver, 43 ; William Benn, painter, 27 ; and Croft Robinson, five months. Several others are not expected to recover. Mr, Backhouse appeared for Mr. Hesketh, and Mr. Clough for the owners of the adjacent property destroyed or damaged by the explosion. Mier viewing the bodies, the jury visited the site of the disaster, and made a minute examination .of the boiler. On, their return to the court-house, Ralph Tomlinson was examined. He deposed—l am a power loom weaver and was in the employ of Mr. William Hesketh. Was at work there on Wednesday morning last. About eight o clock, I went to get my breakfast in the boiler house. Having finished my breakfast, I came out 'of the boiler house into the street, when my attention was attracted to some singers, and I thought I would stay out till half past Eight. Whilst I was listening to the sinsers.the boiler exploded " something like a blast us a delph . 1. was un able to see anything for steam and "smudge ". The weav ing sheet dropped in before I could get accross the street, and the materials were widely scattered around. The boiler was driven through several walls across the street and em bedded itself in the brewhouse under the dancing room of tho Floooo inn. El w two bodies In the ruins but. was unable to, recognize them. The engine tender was called " Old Ned"; Ido not know him by any other name. About:two or three minutes before the explosion I lit my pipe with him ; he was then on the boiler. I left him there.—Saw nothing unusal about the boiler when I lit my pipe.—lts a thing I don't understand. Had got my breakfast in the boiler house re gulary every morning for twelve months. Did not notice whether the steam was blowing offon Wednesday morning.— Don't,know what steam is ? By Mr. BACKHOUSE.—There were four people in the boiler house besides myself at breakfast time on Wednesday, viz :—" Old Ned" and his son, the fire beater (Howarth), and a little boy who worked in the shuttlem.h...s snop, over the engine house. Did not hen" a word said as to whether the engine was ready for starting, or anything of that kind. Willi9m. wllson. —I knew Edward Sharpies, engine tender, at ,tiesketh'S. Saw his dead body on Wednesday last, after the explosion. His son Thomas was cut at the back of the head, his breast crushed in, and an iron bolt or screw had penetrated the lower part of his abdomen. He was out of work, and had gone down to the shed to see his father when the explosion occurred. Richard Sharpies proved that the deceased, Edward Sharpies, had been an engine tender 14 or 16 years. George Duesden witnessed the explosion. Removed Sharpies to the Fleece Inn. He died that night. Thomas Rossthorn.—Was overlooker of weavers in the employ of Mr. Hesketh. Knew the deceased, Thomas Bre therton. When I last saw him alive he was smoking his pipe in the boiler house. Saw Bretherton lying dead at the Fleece shortly after the accident. By Mr. Backhouse.—Had known the engine tender, Ed ward Sharpies, for several years tending an engine for Mr. Switherbank, of Green Bank, Have frequently gone to the boiler house to " have a smoke" after breakfast. Cannot speak to the amount of power required to work the looms. Have repeatedly heard Hesketh caution Sharpies about having the steam too high. I myself have also cautioned him. Last week, particularly, I heard Mr Hesketh cheek him, and tell him not to keep the steam too high. A new boiler had been ordered. When I left the boiler house, im mediately before the explosion, the parties in it were, Thomas Bretherton, James Howarth, Edward Sharpies, and his son. A AMOR—Did you notice any steam blowing off differ ent on that morning ? Witness—No ;it was much as usual. The reason I checked Sharples was, the engine was running too fast for my looms. The engine had a " governor. '—l thought it must have too much steam on.—Never noticed what the steam guage indicated. The looms have gone foster since Howarth was the fire beater. I fancy Sharples was in the habit of running the engine as long as possible without putting water in the boiler, and that he "fed up" with water all at once at meal times. James Cope proved that Sharpies was in the habit of having the steam as high at stopping time as when he was at work, instead of lowering it gradually. He was often complained of when in the employ of Mr. Swithenbank. Have hoard Mr. Hesketh's father-in-law, Wm. Harwood, cheek him repeatedly about getting the steam up too soon. Last week the engine stopped about an hour before the pro per time, and I went down to the boiler-house to see what was the matter. Found that Mr. Hesketh had ordered the engine to be stopped, until more was put into the boiler. On Wednesday I was on the spot immediately after the ex plosion. Ephraim Shorroek was the first we got out; he is still alive. I next found Thomas Bretherton, he lay at the end of the boiler-house, "like a bag of coal." The body was so much disfigured that I was unable to recognize it un til after its removal. By Mr. BACKHOUSE : Don't know the power of the en gine. All that it did besides driving Hesketh's looms was to work two shuttle maker's machines. Sharpies was apt to keep his steam too high at stopping time : the same as in the middle of the day. Instead of opening the fire-hole door 'when the hands were at meals, he used to keep it closed. Don't know the pressure at which the boiler was generally worked. I have seen steam blow off, but,not much. There was a safety-valve on the top of the boiler, but I did not notice the weight upon it. Ann Robinson—:The - decased Robert Robinson was my son. Our hou.,e was next to Mr. Hesketh's weaving sheet. On Wednesday morning I had gone across the street when the explosion took place. I left in the house Thos. Brooks, a lodger, and three of my children.—Robert was in bed; the other two followed me to the door. William Benn, who also lodged with us, had gone out at the back door into the yard. I was in a shop on the opposite side of the street at the time of the explosion. A cloud of ashes came against the window and made it dark. As soon as I could I ran out to look for my children. The house had been blown down. My husband discovered two of the children in the ruins— Betsy and Thomas ; they were seriously hurt. Some time elapsed before Robert was found—he was dead. Michael. Dean—Was one who searched amongst the ruins for those buried underneath, rani the deceased child, • Robert Robinson, in bed. The child appeared to have worked itself into one of the sheets and got fast. The child was dead, and appeared to have been suffocated in the sheet. William Dobson—Found the body of William Benn under a heap of wood, stone and bricks. The finding and identity of the other bodies having been proved, The Coroner suggested the desirability of taking the opinion of some scientific man, with regard to the condition of the boiler. Mr. Fairbairn and Mr. Nasmith, of Manchester, are to be consulted upon the subject. _ The inquiry - was adjourned to Saturday next IRELAND (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING THE FLOODS The reports received from the provinces to-day, represent the waters as having in great degree subsided, but the sufferers from the calamity are left in a condition of great distress. In Cork, on Thursday night, over 400 families received relief in. the shape of food, shelter, and bedding, through the medium of the mayor's secretary, and yester day a public meeting was held, which was influen tially attended; and at which it was at once agreed to enter on a subscription to alleviate the condition of the poorer sufferers by the inundation. The Examiner of yesterday evening, describes the then state of the streets to be unusual and extraordinary. They are chiefly covered with sand, and many of the quays completely denuded of facing stones. All the bridges are injured, and breaches made in more than one. The number of persons who have lost their lives by the breaking down of Patrick's bridge is not yet ascertained, but some bodies have been discovered and iden tified In Mallow three persons were drowned, and over twenty head of cattle, whilst in Fermoy, Macroom, and Limerick, the flood is described as having carried away hay, corn, horses, and even casks of whiskey, belonging to the traders of the towns. The floods are however now greatly on the decline, and it is hoped that, some apportion ate estimate of the damage may be soon ascertained. As yet itjhas been impossible to make any calcu lation on the subject. THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. INCUMBERED ESTATES COURT Some interesting particulars relative to this tri bunal have lately been published, by Mr. John Locke, whose essay on Ireland, read at the last meeting of the British Association, attracted so much attention. Amongst other statistical matters detailed in it, we find that, from the establishment of the Court, in October, 1849, up to July last, 2,878 petitions were presented, which have already had results in 2,109 orders for sale, and 3,523 conveyances. The number of acres sold was over a million and a half, having a rental of nearly 800,0001. a year, and bringing a total of purchase money to the extent of ten millions and a half— that is, an average of above thirteen years pur chase. Of this ten millions and a half, six millions and a half have been distributed amongst the vendors; something over a million was allowed to purchasers, on foot of incumbrances vested in them ; and the remainder awaits distribution, being in the meanwhile vested , in stock and con sols. The total number of purchasers was 4,123, of which only 181 were English and Scotch, sup plying 1,800,0001. of purchase money. This gives a tolerably fair idea of the work done by the Court, but its relative expedition may be better known by a partial comparison with the Court of Chancery, with which Mr. Locke furnishes us, and which states that, of 974 estates brought to the hammer by the Incumbered Estates Commissioners, 9 had been the subject of a fifty years Chancery suit ; 27 had been in that Court over 40 years; 51, over 30 years ; 135, over 30 years ; and the remainder for periods from that downwards to five years. The annual expense to the country, of all this, in cluding salaries of commissioners, masters, exami. ners, clerks,. Sze., is 12,5301. • - ' BIRCH AGAINST GRAY.—It may be recollectedthat this was the title of a case which was tried at the last, Naas Assizes, and resulted in a verdict for the defendant. It was an action for libel against the proprietor of the Freeman's Journal, the alleged libel being contained in an article referring to the plaintiff, who was " somewhat celebrated as the cmpluye or Lora uiarenaon In '46, for the purpose Of writing up the cause of " law and order in the World newspaper. Mr. Birch, who is rather of a litigious disposition, and has been in gaol already for extortion and libel, was rather ignominiously defeated at Naas, the jury with very little hesita tion judging for the defendant on all the counts. However, a motion for a new trial was brought on by him in the Court of Exchequer yesterday, and having been postponed till to-day, was argued by Mr Hayes, Q.C. The issue has been, that the judges granted 1:1, ooraitional nrylor, nn +ha orniirtti of " surprise," and that the verdict was against the weight of evidence. KELLY AGAINST BIRCH;—In this case 'a gentle man named Birch is also concerned, but not, as far as T am aware, in any way connected (except perhaps sympathetically) with the plaintiff in -the other case. The plaintiff is the very wealthy Mrs. Kelly, whose name was so lately before the public in the extraordinary conspiracy case at the head police office. The facts in the present instance are rather interesting, and involve a charge of em bezzlement, to th amount of some £54,000. Mr. Birch was Mrs. Kelly's agent, and, it is stated, bolted with the money in question- He was pursued, and arrested in France, and having been brought back, was sent for trial to the commis sioner, but succeeded in removing the case by certiorari to the Queen's Bench, where it is ex pected to come on during.the after sittings of the present term. Meanwhile Birch is in goal, and about £24,000 of the money said to be embezzled has been impounded, having been found vested in Stock and other speculations, in various names Mr. Birch being also accused of having persona ted the several parties to whom those names were supposed. to belong. The same transfer was executed as a " blind" and was effected with great ingenuity. It is also reported that the prosecutrix is anxious for a compromise' on condition of receiving some £30,000 of her money back. Against this Mr Birch holds out, relying as a defence on the repre sentation, that he invested the cash by Mrs. Kelly's order. Lest by any chance he might secure an acquittal on this ground, a detainer of the Court of Chancery has been laid on him. To day a motion was to'have come on in that court, with, I believe, the intent on the part of Birch, to set aside the de tainer, A postponement, however, took place, and it is not improbable the affair may be settled in the interim. But should the case come in extenso, be fore the Lord Chancellor, such is the extraordinary nature of the circumstances that will be opened to him, it is not thought improbable he may take the whole case out of Mrs. Kelly's hands, and order the Attorney-General to prosecute. SUICIDE Yesterday Dr. Ball of Cork, hung himself whilst insane. RAILWAY ACCIDENT. —On Thursday, an accident hap pened on ,the 'Ulster railway, at the Dunmurry station, by which a passenger, a poor woman, had her leg injured. The accident arose from a waggon moving from the station by its own momentum, and coming in contact with the train that was just moving off, by which this waggon was thrown off the line, and displaced several of the carriages. Some of the passengsrs became alarmed, and jumped out, and among them the woman that was injured. Nova", SWINDLING.—At the Commissioners' Court yes terday, a man named John Wilson pleaded guilty to some ingenious swindling transactions with which he was charged. The Chief Baron, in pronouncing sentence upon him, ex plained the nature of the transactions. The prisoner had forged a number of letters, and on information which he collected by some means directed those letters to several poor persons, and alleging that they were from friends in distant colonies and had been intrusted to himfor delivery. demanded 2s. custom-house duty on each of them. He represented himself as a sailor belonging to the Ocean Queen. A policeman named Quin, on whom he attempted to commit one of these frauds, arrested him, and found upon his person seven letters of a similar kind to that which he was attempting to pass upon him, along with a document pur porting to be a certificate from a master of a ship, a justice of the peace, and some others, that he was one of the few persons saved from the wreck of the Ocean Queen. The letters which were found upon him were ingeniously circum stantial, but were i n many particulars copies. The court sentenced him to be imprisoned for four months for each of the three offences with which he was charged, and to be kept to hard labour. His lordship regarded those imposi tions upon poor people, as very heinous offences,mnd only regretted that the court could not qrr ti nce the prisoner to four monthsmore for each of the seven letters found upon him, FATAL ACCIDENT.—Lady Langford was drowned yesterday whilst bathing atatalbliggluii- - • QUARANTINE REGULATIONS. BRITISH CONSULATE, CADIZ, 26TH OCT., 1853. SIR-I regret to have to acquaint you that the Board of Health of this city, has just imposed a Quarantine of observation of eight days in this harbour, on vessels that may arrive from Gibraltar. Vessels from ports infected with cholera, that may have been admitted to pratique at Gibraltar, and may afterwards come here, will be compelled to proceed to Maton or Vigo and perform Quarantine. Vessels that may arrive from Lisbon, or the ports of Portagal, will be subject to a Quarantine of ob servation in this harbour of fifteen days, deducting the time employed on the voyage. Thus a steamer that may arrive here in two days from Lis bon, will be subject to thirteen days of Quarantine in this harbour. These absurd and restrictive measures will I trust, be of short duration. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, WM. BRACKENBURY. Thomas Court, Esq., Secretary to the Underwriters, Liverpool. CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE COI PORATION OF LIVERPOOL OUT OI THE SUM CF £1737. On Saturday, Joseph Rosson and William Clarke, the former the contractor for bricks, and the latter the clerk of works, at the new borough gaol, at Walton, were again brought before the magistrates, (Messrs. Benn and Booth), charged with conspiring to defraud the Corporation of Liver pool of a sum of £1737 by means of false returns as to the number of bricks supplied for the new borough gaol at Wal ton. Thomas Kitchen and Samuel Ingram, two brick makers, who worked for the defendant Rosson, were called to prove the number of bricks which they had made during the summer, also the number of stools at work in the field. From their evidence it would appear impossible that the number charged could have been made. Mr. Archibald Tweedie, clerk in the treasurer's office, proved from the books put in, that the number of bricks charged for and not delivered, was 1,196,580, or, including the ninth stool charged for, but which had not been worked, 1,643,445 bricks for which there had been paid £1738. Laurence Kehoe, inspector of the detective police, deposed to having apprehended both the prisoners. He apprehended Clarke at Oswestry, who was in drink at the time. Next morning he told him the charge was conspiring with Rosson to defraud the corporation, by returning nearly two millions of bricks which were never made, and that for so doing, he was to receive £l5O. Clarke said he knew nothing about the bricks ; he depended upon Harper's returns, and ad mitted there was gross negligence on his part. He admitt e d also that he had receiVed £ 5 and £lO notes on several occa sions from Rosson to pay off his debts, and for which he save him 1. 0. U's.. He then added, "as it has come to this it will go further ; it will go to the heads," or something to that effect. He (Kehoe) had made diligent search for Har per,..but could not find him: - Mr. Simon, in reference to io the absence of this important witness, said he had been put out of the way, and that a sum of £lOO had been offered to a witness named Daniels and two others, to go out of the way for ten weeks.

JENNY LIND A ND HER HUSBAND. The Philadelphia Inquirer contains the following letter from the Rev. Samuel H., relating to Jenny Lind and her husband, and addressed " To the American Public" : " The late Jenny M. Lind, now Madam Otto Gold schmidt, resident at Dresden, as a sweet singer, has made herself of pleasant and precious memory to tens f thousands of our countrymen, and to millions in the whole world. Hence every fact that may illustrate properly her history, is interesting to the public, and every circulated novelty or change respecting her, affects all who know of it. A cer tain worthy and respected lady, a member of the church of my pastoral care, being well acquained with her, and having, since her return from America, continuously corresponded with her, has, with several others, desired this publication, in the following circumstances:- -In a late affectionate letter received from Madame G— which has been shown me, and which is now before me, the facts are all stated in genuine style, which perfectly demon strates the authenticity of the present statement. A sense of justice and propriety has induced me to yield to' he request, and to give the matter to the public over my own signature, 'as lam fully persuaded of their truth. Her feelings have been deeply wounded by the story that her husband is un kind to her, inconsiderate, reckless, even cruel. Not to examine such - reports, it is enough for me to say, that her self being witness and judge, they are all totally false ; that envy and malice, or foolish loquacity coupled with ignorance, invented th - ern all ; that , nothing but the diametrical reverse is true of her "dear Otto;" that no woman in the world has more reason to be grateful to God for her husband, and that no man in the world could be a more anti p.mploto pattern of conjugal tenderness, consideration, and affection. This is but a brief epitome of what, with full heart, she writes to her friend aforesaid. She writes indeed plainly, wihtout reserve, and without affectation ; but not without sensibility, at once stung and virtuously indignant. It is very certain that the American people have no inte rest or wish to dissent from her own most credible and con clusive statement. Her friends here all unite with her, in the strong desire to have the calumny discredited and cor rected. Certain it is, also, that any person in public life, however pure and faultless, is all too liable to have miscon ceptions, and detractions, and aching wounds, to 0n0...4,er and to bear,_ as the_nonot7 a - pvpular greatness. T o every generous mind it must .occasion grief to know of such an infliction, and joy only to find it both without foundation and without continuance. If there any is thing of the class, worse than the facility with which evil sports both gain a being, and grow by going in this naughty world, it is the difficulty, often the positive despair, of their correction. Still, some of us hope that, in the rare case of this universal favorite, this night ingale of the two hemispheres, it may be only necessary to publish the truth, authenticated .from her own pen, to des troy the illusion and arrest the mischief; albeit, after its severity has often wounded the gentle bosom, that now re joices, and should have no such pang to countervail her joy, as the accomplished mother of a lovely and beautiful infant justly crowning the happy communion of its parents, in thei own peaceful and private home." THE MURDER AT BURNHAM ABBEY FARM.) The coroner's inquest on the remains of Mary Ann Stur geon was resumed at ten o'clock on Wednesday. morning. A broken pocker was produced, and identified by a char woman named Staymaket as having been whole when it was taken from - Mr. Godwin's bedroom to the bedroom where the body of the disceased was found, on the afternoon of Tuegday. Mr..lLdph Willis Godwin, the occupier of the farm, was recalled, and in answer to the question from the coroner as to whether he observed anything unusual in the conduct of Hatto, the groom, on Tuesday night, witness said he did. Before witness had discovered the murder, and before he had been upstairs, Hatto ask him whether he had seen any thing wrong ? Witness replied that he bad not. Hatto also came into the kitchen more than once, before he had time to :dress his horse, and maed a humming noise, contrary to his usual custum. [Mr. Superintendent Symington, of the Bucks constabu lary, here informed the Coroner that circumstances had been discovered that cast suspicion upon Hatto, the groom, and that he was then in custody. The announcement created a deep sensation.] 1)r. Roberts, of Burnham, gave a description of the inju ries inflicted upon deceased. An internal examination of the body proved that deceased was not enceinte. As to whether recent vinipnee had }wan often:a tho (Leo/140, it wcbc, impOssible to say, from the circumstance of the lower part of the body being so injured by the fire. Witness was of opinion that death had been occasioned by the injuries in flicted by blows on the head, which brought on concussion of the brain ; and death ensued before the commencement of the burning of the body. Jane Mince, the wife 91 the farm bailiff, deposed that, on the night of Tuesday, deceased was in witness's cottage at about eight o'clock; she brought a piece of sticking plaister to put on witness's bad finger, after which deceased said I must go into the house and get the boy's supper out." Deceased added, that when she had done so she should go up stairs, and sit in her room, as the boy's (Hatto's) conversa tion was so " indifferent" that she could not sit with him, neither should she. Deceased told witness, on Tuesday night, that she and Hatto had words together. Witness did not understand deceased to mean that words had passed between them that night. In answer to questions from the coroner, Mr. Godwin said that Hatto was a civil and obliging servant, and had borne, up to the present time, a good character. William Coker, a boy in the service of Mr. Goodwin, de posed that he slept with Hatto on the night after the murder. Hatto said he hoped he should have a pleasanter night than he had the night before ; he jumped about in the bed very much, and appeared very uneasy. Haito was here introduced, and asked to sign the evidence given by him on Wednesday. The prisoner, who appeared perfectly unmoved, is of middle size, and about 30 years of age. . Police-superintendant Symington produced a pair of tronsers which Hatto wore on Tuesday last ; there were marks of blood on them. and the blood had Men pronounced to be human blood. He deposed that he had observed marks of blood at the bottom of Hatto's bed; the marks appeared to be partially obliterated, and the blood was of loner standing than, this mornin g . Wi tness also produced a jacket on which were marks of blood ; but it was ex r)lained that Hatto had‘been employed to remove the body, and that the blood might have been communicated to the garments by that means. Cleare (the foreman) said it was a suspicious circum stanbe that Hatto should have fallen into a pool of water in the yard, when looking round on Tuesday night, and so in duced the necessity for washing . his clothes. They had been partly , washed and were hanging to dry in Mr. Goodwin's kitchen, on the. Wednesday raormng: • - POLICE COURT.----SATURDAY.

The officer concealed himself in the yard, and in some time after saw the prisoner on the wall. The latter said, "Whist, I'll hand it over to you." Just then, there was a noise in the house, and prisoner jumped off the wall, when the officer ran round and apprehended him. A girl had seen the prisoner with another boy in Oxford-street, with two parcels, on the same night. Mrs. Davis fully identified the butter as her property.

He desired her to go away, but she put her hands about his pockets, and he feeling, to see if his purse was all right, found it in his pocket, but the money which it contained, was gone. He seized prisoner but she got away. The officer who apprehended her said, that the prisoner and a paramour of her's, had been, ever since, in Dublin.. The magistrates said, that prisoner must be an adept to take out the purse, empty it, and return it to the prosecutor's pocket without hi s k now l e d ge .

A woman, named Honor Kelly, was brought forward, on Friday, as a witness; she was seen walking behind the boy at the time, but she denied all knowledge of him, except that she lived in the house with him. On Saturday, both were put forward as prisoners, when it was stated, that on enquiry, it was found that they were mother and son.

The prisoner denied this, and stated sh e was stewardess of a vessel just returned from America.. The magistrates ordered the case to stand over the an hour ; and on i nquiry being made, it turned out that h prisoner's statement was perfectly correct, and she was discharged.

The magistrate said that althou g h the officers had s done perfectly right in arresting the prisone rs , as they were suspicious characters, yet it was only a case of suspicion and they must be therefore discharged. Mr. Clough said that it was reported to him ,that the town waa at present infested with such characters ; he had therefore determined to send out detectives each night to apprehend every one of them who were on the streets and known to the police.
