London : Groomblidge & Sons, 5, Paternoster Row ; or of any Bookseller in theecauntry. MORNING CHRONICLE having, at the close of last year, passed into the hands of a new Proprietary, is now conducted under an-entirely new management. During nearly a Century THE MORNING CHRONICLE has been the steadfast advocate of Liberal principles and enlightened views ; always ready to support the Statesman' whose meg.sures were calculated to promote the general inter ests—never the tool of Party. Faithful to its old creed, considering judicious amelioration to be the best Conservator*, THE MORNING CHRONICLE earnestly supports oar venerable Constitution in its essential principles—principles none the less important in their practical efficacy because brought into harmonious concurrence with th genius and tendencies of the age. Every department of this Journal has been remodelled. Its Political'lnformation is.derived from unquestionable sourees ; and whilst it keeps its readers conversant -with all important occurrences, peiitical and social, both at home and abroad—the lighter, but not unimportant, claims of Literature and Art are equally represented im its columns. The constant aim of the present Conductors of THE MORN ING CHRONICLE is , toenake it an organ of influence amongst Statesmen and public .rnen of all denominations; and whilst presenting a faithful reflex of the events and feelings of the day, not to lose eight of the permanent interests and prospec tive destinies of society. - mwf THE ONLY FULL-SIZED EVENING PAPER THE EVENING HERALD Is enlarged to Eight full-sized Pages, and is an ample Record of the Current Dare News. The increasing importance of public events, and the rapidity with whichthey transpire, demand a correspondini spirit of enterprise in recording. them. Home and foreign news has now become so expensive that it has been found impossible to meet the reasonable requirements of newspaper readers by offering them in a journal of four pages only. The EVENING , 11.8RALD is consequently doubled, and now contains the fullest Parlia mentary and other Reports, with the proceedings in the Law, Bankruptcy, Insolvency, Sheriff's, Registration, County, and Police Courts. Correspondents at Paris, Turin, Genoa, and Malta forward full and reliable intelligence,and Reporters and Correspondents at home supply the Home News, Political, Commercial, and Social, down to the moment of going to press. The EVENING HERA_LD may be had of any News Agent; and to Subscribers paying in advance it is supplied (stamped) direct from the Publishing Office by the Five o'clock Trains to all parts of the United Kingdom on thefollowing terms : Quarterly.

As on previous days, Mr. O'Dowd, solicitor for the Board of Trade, was present, and Mr. J. B. Aspinall appeared on behalf of Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. William Patterson was again called and cross examined by Mr. O'Dowd. He stated I believe the Royal Charter could have been classed A 1 at Lloyd's at the time she was built. The foreman, who came from Bristol to superintend the work, had been with me during the time after I was building , the Great Britain. His name was Barry. I consider that he was a competent judge of the quality of the iron and the work. When I say that we looked at the quality and the work, I mean myself and the foreman. When I took to the work, there was the whole of the frame work, the angle iron, and floor plates on the place. We found-some of this iron that we rejected because it would not-stand to be wrought. I -said that the diameter of the rivets in the keel was an ineh and a quarter, and I consider those quite large enough for a ship of the magnitude of the Royal Charter. I think there should not have been more beams in a vessel of that size than was in her: I said there were 'five kelsons, and I think these-were large enough. lam not aware of any other kind Of iron being used for sheathing except what is known as boiler plate. _ _ To Mr. Aspinal—l was asked to look at the ship by Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. before they purchased her. There was very little .of her put together at that time. John Penn and Co., df Greenwich, supplied the engines. • They cost £55 10s:per horse-power, which is a high price, by which T mean a price that would purchase good engines. • James Barry was the next witness, and stated, in re ply to Mr. Aspinall—l am Mr. Patterson's foreman, and I know the thickness of the iron used for the bulk heads was . 5 -„ inch. I heard the evidence of Mr. Patter 'eon -yesterday, and I agree with what he said. I -superintended this . work, and was constantly there. The vessel was lengthened when I joined her at Sandycroft. Nothing more could be done -to make her a good ship. There were three foremen appointed to inspect the duality, end it was impossible for any thing defective in strength or quality- to have escaped them. As to the rivets an the keel, I believe they were inch and an eighth or an inch and quarter. The rivets in the bottom were inch. There were stringers on the wings ' and diagonal plates six inches by one on the lower deck ; the upper deck was lighter. There was a stringer running round the ship between the spar deck and the main deck. There are several qualities of iron plates, but Ido not know the whole of them. There is best best best, Yorkshire, charcoal, and others. I can say that the iron that was put into that ship stood its weight well. We had sometimes to reject iron, as we would do when we found a sand-flaw or a blister upon it. To Mr. Aspinall—We never had a lot of iron that we did not reject some of it, during the building of a large ship. To the Court—The ordinary materials were used in building this vessel that are used for building Nessels of this size. I have been connected with iron ship-building for twenty-one years, and I superintended the repairing of the Great Britain. I was in the Royal Charter when she grounded at Flint. I came to Liverpool in her, where she was docked and surveyed,. and we found that she had broke thirty-three or -thirty-ive of her angle irons, and bent her main keel two inches and a quarter in a •distance of about twelve feet. This was amidships. The midship keelson was broken. It was broken at a butt on the top and torn down the plates at the two sides. The garboard streak •was bent also, and I think three or four of the butts were strained. Some few plates were bent ; these were taken out and put into the furnace and reset. There were none of the side plates off, and only three or four from the garboard streak. The bilge kelsons—one on each side—were put in after the accident to strengthen her. She was originally built with three kelsons only. Four or five of the stancheons in the midship body of the ship were bent. There were some rivets squirted, and some of these we cut out. Neither the made heads nor the counter sunk heads came off. There were a good many of them, but they were all replaced. Everything was made good and additional strength given to the vessel. There •were stronger plates put to the sides and top of the main kel son for the space of probably forty feet. After these repairs, and on her first veyage, she . put back to Plymouth. T superintended her repairs on that occasion. There was nothing the matter with the hull of the vessel, but she leaked in her waterways. She was not put into the graving dock. We got carpenters on board, and had the water ways caulked. In accordance with the directions of the surveyor, she was lightened at Plymouth of 300 tons of stone ballast, which she had more than she required _ To Mr. Aspinall—l am inclined to think that-there were only three kelsons at first, notwithstanding that I heard Mr. Patterson say that .there were five. Mr. O'Dowd said he was informed by the Lloyds' surveyor, that when he visited the ship in 1857, she had five kelsons. Mr. Aspinall read from the originalspecification, on which the ship __was built,. by _which it appeared that there was to be, a main kelson, and two sister-kelsons on each side. He was under the impression that there were two more put in, making seven ; but as it was intended to hear Captain Martin, it 'was likely he would be able'to set them right on that point. The witness stated to Captain Harris that he was cer tain there were two kelsons added when she was being repaired at Liverpool. The r e were no f ore an d aft stringers introduced, while he belonged to her, in the upper deck. He was not aware of any further repairs except what he had told the court of, He had been employed at the ship until about a month before she left the dock in Liverpool. John Vernon said, in reply to Mr. Aspinall, I am an iron ship-builder, of the firm of Thomas Vernon, at Liverpool. I put a fore and aft stringer int o th e Royal Charter. I was requested by Messrs. Bright to say what form of stringer would be best to strengthen the ship after her first - voyage, and I suggested a fore and aft stringer. This was put in under my superintendence. To the Court—This stringer was introduced between the lower deck and upper deck. It covered all the available space, leaving only sufficient space for passing the rivets through. Inever saw such a strong stringer in my life up t o that time. No expense was spared-by Messrs. Bright. 'We put in some breast hooks or crutches in the forefoot of the ship for the purpose of giving her additional strength at that point. Floori were flied to each frame as they mounted upw ar di likea sc r o o n w of steps. I might observe that if th e o ld iron had be en d e f ect i ve the heads of the rivets would have off, but nothing of the kind took place, and my impression is that the iron was of a good quality: Captain Martin showed- me through the ship, and" requested me to examine her. It was considered in consequence of the great length of the vessel that she required additional strength in her upper works. There did appear to be some weakness, but I do not think that it was occasioned by the weight of her masts 'and rigging. I understood that this was to meet' anything that might happen to her rather than to remedy anything that had happened to her. This great stringer' was much larger than anything that t Lloyd'shatt r e ule w s e direeted, either at that time or up to the present hour. I considered her a very strong ship. Of course we are making improvements every day; but at "nsiconesriedderhtehratthLeloys strongest ship areshi p n cyth to could be built. I be followed with profit, as they only refer to the tonnage, so that by following these rules you would build a short vessel of the same strength as you would do a long one, whereas it' is well known that a long one requires to be inueb. strOnger. I -- woidd throw the Strength in the main body of the ship, and make her lighter at the ends. I am not acquainted with any of the evidence up to this time. I 'was • aware that she had some severe weather, and that she made some water in the upper works, which was occasioned by the channel bends being too high, b u t it Bras of too littl e importance to go to any expense, ad it could not have added much to her strength. I was called upon, in. October, 1857, to repair the ship, be cause of a hole that was stove in her bow, about two' feet square, by the fluke of the anchor going through when she came in collision with another vessel, and I had then an opportunity of seeing that the material was of good quality. I put in new plates and angle irons. When she was being launched at Sandycroft, and while hanging on the stocks, I went to see her, and as a builder she appeared to me to be in very good order. To Mr. Aspinall—Something of the same kind of stringer as I put in was adopted hy other vessels of that class. I am not aware that this was the first of that class of stringer that was introduced, but if not the first it was among the first. I have seen none so strong as the one that I put jute the Royal Charter. I might • observe that in building a large vessel recently, we adopted the same principle. The Royal Charter was a ship of very great strength, but liable to straining, be cause of her great length and fine ends. The iron and rivetting was very good indeed. With the stringer in most undoubtedly I considered her a very strong ship. To' Mr. O'Dowd—l have spoken of an edition of Lloyd's rules, published in June this year, which super sedes those of 1857. I think that Lloyd's rules are capable of very great improvement. To the Court—ln regard to the specific arrangements for building a screw steamer, I would take especial pains to incorporate into the ship's propeller screw port frame the great strength, and make the upper'works as light as possible. John Jordan agent to the Liverpool Underwriters, said—l am a shipbuilder and engineer. I have examined the Royal Charter after each voyage, as it is my duty 'to de with every ship that comes into. the port,. She was an average specimen of the usual class of large screw steamers. She had a three quarter shell, double rivetted, composed of plates about thick, in lengths of about six feet, and breadth two feet six. She had a vertical iron, frame thraughout. Every alternate frame had three beams upon it. The frames, beams, and floor were not connected longitudinally. On the top of the floor there was a box frame about half a foot wide and six feet deep. There was a bilge stringer rivetted to the beams. On the ends were flat stringer plates, about 27 inches broad by thick. There was a vertical stringer joined to these flat stringers. There were diagonal tie plates on.each deck from stringer to stringer. These were running fore and aft. After the first 'voyage I found her, as I 'find alllong ships that have not been stiffened spring amidships in the butts. The plates had to carry the whole of 'the strain, or nearly so. After straining, we find that the butts work the edges away. In this 'fore peak we found that she worked something like a pair of bellows, so that some of the rivets in the frames Were loosened. A double five-eight stringer was put in as de.scribod- by the last witness. One way of. strengthening is to double the bilge and top streak, so as to scarf the butts. Another way is to give additional breadth to stringer-plates in the top of the beams. I saw her on her second voyage , and if it had been required to have the working of the butts stopped, she would then re quire additional stiffening. I think the plates of the Royal Charter were quite thick enough. I do not approve of the whole strength being in the shell as laid down by Lloyd's rules. I consider that there should be an interior strength. I believe if you put in too thick plates, the work will give way before the plates. I think in every large ship there should be girders on the ends of the beams, so as to take the strain off the shell. To Mr. Aspinall—l considered the Royal Charter as an average iron ship. The symptoms of weakness are shown by the cracking of the paint, and the rust ing of the butts, which .if allowed to go on will wear away the ends of the butts. I will not say if that has shown itself in the Great Eastern. To the Court—l consider the great strength of the Royal Charter to have been in her box kelson, and I consider it was a _good job. To Mr. O'Dowd—The object of bulk-heading iron ships is, in case of accident, that if one compartment be broken into, the rest may be sufficiently buoyant to float the -ship. The number of bulkheads is always regulated according to the capacity of the vessel. Wm. Gilmour said to Mr. O'Dowd--I was for two years surgeon on board the Royal Charter. I was not on board during the last voyage, having left her in April last. I have written to the Liverpool Hereury, stating my opinion of the sea-worthiness of the vessel. The first paragraph contains my opinions on this point, and it is as ;follows :—" First, the ship.—At sea, with a good breeze on the quarter, which was her. best sailing point, she was the best sailer I ever saw. We used to pass an thing we came up with. I have known her to sail eighteen knots an hour, and.yet go steady through the water; but in very rough weather, with a head wind, she laboured very much, and shipped a great deal of water, which made her a very uncomfortable ship for passengers, more especially the third-class. I have very often seen the water knee deep between decks, and in sloppy wet weather the main deck always leaked; sup posed to be from the working and straining of the ship. Indeed 'I have seen the boards of the deck working up and down like the keys of a piano, and the seams all a mass of froth. This I have frequently pointed out to the captain and first officer. I have also seen and felt her vibrate from bow to stern, like a fishing rod, and have often heard the rivets rattle in her sides ; but I must say I never saw her leaking in any part only once, and that was a small one in the bow. These things I have more par ticularly noticed during the last two or three voyages, before the unfortunate one; and I am thankful to God that I was not in her the last one. During those two voyages, but more especially the last one, I lost much of the confidence I had in her, and determined to leave her as soon as I could get a chance of settling down on land ; in fact, such was my anxiety to be out of her, that I had a presentiment which haunted me continually that, sooner or later she would be lost. This I have often told to Mr. Stevens, chief officer, ,Mr. Rogers, chief engineer, and Mr. Lewis, purser. I never had the same confidence in her that I had in the Great Britain, of which ship I was surgeon at the time she was engaged in her Majesty's transport service during the Crimean war, which was a period of eighteen months, and all that time I never saw her decks wet by a wave, but the Charter's decks I have many times; indeed, I once nearly lost my life by a huge wave, containing many tons of water, which nearly washed me overboard one night when I was going to the surgery.. I thank the boatswain, whose name was Albond, for saving my life. I may have exaggerated a little when I say that I saw the planks of .the deck work like the keys of a piano, I merely make mention of the keys of a piano as a simile. To Mr. Aspinall—l did not exaggerate when I said I felt her'vibrate 'from stem to stern like a fishing-rod. I have told 'this to Mr. Stevens, the chief officer, and others, who I am sorry to say are now dead. I never told it to anyone who is now alive. That is my hand writing. Mr. Aspinall then read thefollowing letter : _ "Ball's Cottage, Buckingham-road, Aylesbury, April 25th, 1859. Gentlemen,—l beg most respectfully. to tender you my resignation of the situation I have filled for some time as surgeon of the S. S. Royal Charter, and to say that the only reason of my doing so is, that by and with the, advice of my friends, I am going to commend the practice of my profession in Aylesbury.' I may succeed, and I may not; if the former, I will be delighted to be in the bosom of my young family ; but if the latter should occur, might I hope that my services, while in your employ, will not be forgotten, and that should I ever find it necessary to seek employs ment, and you should have a vacancy, might I hope you would giye me a berth. Wishing you every success to the two splendid shiPs, Great Britain and Royal Char ter.—Believe me, gentlemen, to remain, your very hum ble servant, WILLIAM G mmo en." Another letter was also read, which th e witness ac knowledged to be in his handwriting, in which he stated that he was glad to see the Great Britain and Royal of coldehad the oe r of his bunk water thanh Charter so highly spoken of in t he p a p ers . In referene to the following paragraph :L--" And now f or th e one s t un r ail orphan. solitary middy on board, whose name w as F re d er i ck Foster, punishment, and deck, and many an hour he has spent at the mast head a manyHe wasa bucketfnd about him to waken him up. He was a l so ver y f on d of st ' ToXing,' or feigning ill wh en h e came un d er my notice. He never would have made a sailor ; but' now his trou bles are over." He (the witness would have written that about him if he had not been an orphan, and did, not consider there was a want of Christian or gentle manly feeling shown by it. George Barber, in reply to Mr, O'Dowd, said—l am a surveyor to the Board of Trade, and it is my duty to survey passenger ships. I have had considerable ex perience, both at this port and at Hull. I have examined the Royal Charter on four separate occasions. I gave her a certificate in May, 1857. I first saw her in 1856. I examined her in the Graving Dock after being• strengthened, and I found that all the require- Ments of the Merchants' Shipping Act had been com -1 plied with. I am required by the act to look to the sufficiency of the, hull, and on two occasions I have objected to plates that were being put into vessels that were being built. There is no person bound to comply with my wishes, but I may object to give him a passenger certificate when he comes. In May, of the present year, I examined the Royal Charter's bottom, and I was struck with the excellent appearance she presented. I found only one slack butt, it was amid ships on the starboard side, on the fiat of the floor. The certificate is only in force for six months. To Mr. Aspinall--It is my duty to see that a ship is fit to carry passengers before granting a certificate. I made a very careful examination in May, 1857. Ix May, '59, my colleague and I went together, and he wrote the certificate. lam satisfied that she was entitled to it. To Mr. O'Dowd—lf the ship appeared to me to be good, it would be my duty, as the shipwright surveyor to the Board of Trade, to grant a declaration that she was sufficient. To the Court—We always examine when we have any doubt. ' James Myrter, surveyor, corroborated the evidence of the last witness. The court then adjourned until to-day at one o'clock.. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY (Before J. S. MANSFIELD, Esq.) DASTARDLY ASSAULT ON A WOMAN. William. Williams was brought up charged with having com mitted an assault on a young woman named Ellen Rigby. The ptosecutrix stated that the prisoner met her about ten o'clock last night in Edmund-street, and offered to treat her to some drink. They consequently entered into a public-house, where they had some ale. On leaving the house, they proceeded along Oldhall-street, when the prisoner, without any provocation on her part, knocked her down. The plea raised by the prisoner was that he had done so in self-defence. Mr. Mansfield, however; characterised the conduct of the prisoner as cowardly and brutal, and ordered him to pay 40s. and costs. ASSAULT IN AN EATrNo-TrousE.—Thos. MTaughlin was charged with having entered the cook-shop of Mr. Wilson, in Park-lane, and asked for a bowl of s t ew , b u t was refused, on which he thought proper to attack in the most ferocious manner Mrs. Wilson, her daughter, and husband, .and break several articles used in the trade. He was ordered to pay 10s. and costs. A VETERAN THIEF.—An old, ragged, and miserable looking woman,_ named Bridget M'Coll, apparently between seventy and eighty years of age, was charged with stealing from the shop of Mrs. Burns, broker, No. 4, Derby, a brass kettle or urn. The prisoner pleaded that she was so drunk she was not aware of what she was about. The policeman who apprehended her, how ever, deposed that she was perfectly sober. The prisoner was accordingly committed for trial. ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON.—AIice Molloy was placed at the bar on the charge of robbing Jas. O'Brien of five sovereigns. Mr. Bluck appeared for the pri soner. The prosecutor stated that he was proceeding along Marybone on the previous evening, about twelve o'clock, when the prisoner, with a child in her arms, met him, and offered to sell him an article of dress for a baby. He would, however, have nothing to do with it. She then asked him to treat her. lie accordingly went into a court with her, and gave a small sum. Sh e . immediately went off, leaving the child in his charge.. He gave it to the first policeman he met, and also informed him that he had been robbed of £5 in gold The woman shortly afterwards came to the policeman seeking her child, and was immediately apprehended Mr. Bluck contended that there was no evidence to prove that the prisoner was the_ woman who had com mitted the, robbery ; that there were plenty of people in the court besides her, any of whom might have been. guilty of it. Mr. Mansfield, kowever, considered there was sufficient evidence to warrant him in committing her for trial. (Before Mr. Wm. EARLE.) CONTRAVENTION OF THE BYE-LAWS OF THE MARKET —Michael Kearney, a dealer in fish in St. John's Market, was summoned on the charge of ob structing the avenue of the above named market, before his stall, by allowing a quantity of fish to lie in it for an unreasonable length of time. The deputy Town-clerk appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Blackhurst con ducted the defence. The latter contended that the fish did not cause such an obstruction as to come under the 25th article of the bye-laws; he also took objection to the mode in which the bye-laws had been made, which he maintained was not in conformity with the provisions of the 90th section of the Municipal Act of William IV., which provides that no bye-laws can have force unless agreed to by at least two-thirds of the Council. Now those for the regulation of the public markets had been framed by a committee, and there was 40 proof that they had been sanctioned by the Council. It was not, moreover, clear that the Fish Market was-St. . John's Market. A long debate ensued on these topics, and it was finally determined to adjourn the case till next Wednesday.

Mr. Clarke Aspinall, instructed by Mr. Jacob Walters, made application on behalf of Mr. Thomas Armstead, for the transfer of his license from the " Golden Fleece " in Sir Thomas's Buildings to a house at the corner of Vauxhall-road and Paul-street, under the 14th section of the act of Parliament for regulating the transfer of licenses. Mr. Aspinall stated that the applicant had been before the magistrates on a previous oc'asion to have his license transferred, but was refused, on the ground that his house was not a proper one, but the house for which he applied at present was superior to any in. the neighbourhood, and fitted up in the best style, having been built for the express purpose. When any house was bought and pulled down by the Corporation, they were entitled, by law, to remove the license to another. The new house for which the applicant wanted a license was built by Mr. Blezard, from whom he had a lease of the premises at £l2O per annum. Applicant was examined, and corroborated the statements madaty Mr. Aspinall. Mr. Deighton opposed the application, on behalf of two scripture readers. Mr. Samuel Holme said that he had seen the house, and as it was not furnished, the magis trates were precluded by law from granting the license. Mr. Bremner appeared on behalf of Mary Lee, for the removal of the license from the Golden Cross, in Sir Thomas's-buildings, to a house in Park-street, Park road. He said she was in possession when the property was purchased by the corporation. The application was made under the fourteenth section of the act of Parliament already cited, which provides that Whorl - a licensed house was pulled down for public improvements, the license shall be transferred to'another. Mr. Mellor. he said, would oppose—but he had no right to do so— as though he was, the lessee of the house. Mrs. Lee was in possession. This application was made befoie when there was. no objection to Mrs. Lee, but there was objection to the premises.—Mr. Hohne said, if there was a question between Mrs. Lee and Mr. Mellor, the magistrates would not enter into it. The point they had to settle was, whether Mrs. Lee was the person in possession of the premises at the time whet). she would be entitled to another license.---Mr. Bremner said he would show she was both legally and morally entitled, and that Mr. Mellor had no r ight to oppose her. Ms. J. B. Aspinall, instructed by Mr. Snowball, appeared for Mr. Mellor. lie stated that, in August last, he had o bt a i ned a decision against Mrs- Lee, that, and s o h n e 1 1? give n 2lst of up the Augustt house.l last, Mr. Bremner the magistrates granted a li cense to M rs. Lee, which she held up to t h e present moment. He, hereupon, showed the court the license. Mr. Holme said they must assume that Mrs. Lee was in possession. Mr. Bremner contended that, though she had not been in possession, she was entitled to the license. He had known magistrates grant licenses two years after the house had been pulled down. After a long and desultory discussion, the magistrates decided that she was entitled to the license. Mr. Bremner then applied for the house in Park street, Park-road. This was opposed by the minister of St. John Baptist's Church, who had a memorial to' the bench. Mr. Bremner asked him if he was the clergy man who had signed a memorial to have a license granted to a person on the opposite side of the street. The clergyman said that it was not a memorial, but only a testimonial that that person was a proper individual to entrust with a license. The magistrates decided that the house for which Mrs. Lee made application, was too near the church. Mr. Snowball made application on 'behalf of _Thonias Deeary, to have a licence transferred from the house of Mr. 'Cole,. Waterloo-road, to Lime-street. It was, however, stated by Inspector Houzh, that th e app li cant formerly kept 'supper-rooms in Lime-street, and that they were very irregularly conducted, and that' he had been four months in jail on that account. The magis trates, consequently, refused to grant this licence. G. B. BELL, COAL AND CANNELL MERCHANT, 4 A, DUKZ-STREET, HEAR THE CUSTOW.EQIISE, Aim i6l, WELLIN GTON-ROAD, • TOXTETH PARK.
