Bd., and four g only 4s. 4d. per 4 7 to their bricklayers. The satiety did not contemplate 'haying a strike ; but proposed sending a memorial to those masters paying the least sum, asking them to accede to the rate generally naid Yn Art Iwn. A resolution wes carried Co the effect that the,y .ewed with utter contempt the conduct of those boys who, after being with masters a few years, deserted them, set up themselves as jorrneymen, and worked at a reduced rate of wages. The men, believing that this conduct acts prejudicially to the masters as well as to themselves, desire that all boys shall 'be bound for a term of seven years. ACCIDENT ON "THE MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL RAILWAY.—On Friday last an accident occurred on the above-named rartway between Patricroft and Barton Moss, whereby two individuals were seriously, if nett dangerously injured. It appears that the parties referred to, along with others, being disappointed in obtainingli special train from the Victoria Station for the Newton Races, took their places in a guard's van attached to a , toll 'train. On ar riving at the place referred to, one of the wagons belong ing to the train broke down, and threw the van off the rails. By 'this occurrence Mr. BarthOlomew Olney, to bacconist, in Oldham-street, and Mr. George Shephard, of Booth-street, both of Manchester, were thrown out ; the former hiing severely cut upon the hted, the latter having one of his thighs broken in two plates. The other parties in the van received no injury. Soon after the accident the two wounded gentlemen were tonveyed to Manchester, and taken to their own homes. TRt LATE Ma. JAMES MILMRS'S AFFAlRS.—oollSi deralge inconvenience has been felt during the past week by some of the depositors in tliiitank, as many required their money for immediate use, "bat were unable to pro cure. it, the bank having been qilosed since Mr. James Holmes's death, and the trustees not having yet returned from England. The notes continue in free circulation, aid there is every confidencein them, there being suffici ent security deposited in the rots office. Various rumours have been in circulation during the week, but from all we can learn, from the best informed authorities in Liverpool ns well as on the island, there is every reason to believe there will be a surplus after Anying every liability. We are informed that the executor is busily engaged in exa mining into the whole estate, and, therefore, we may ex r pect that, in the course of mother week at farthest, a state ment of the affairs will be laid before the depositors. We learn further that, notwitbvtanding the objections offer& iohnes, the .e viving brother, to the est blishment of the will, adniiristmtion will be applied for, pendente lite, so far as the property in the island is TOB cerned.—/tiona'4 Herald. STABBING IN LrvoreooL.—The use of the Icriifeiin this town continues on the increase. From a return moved for by the watch - committee it appears thetduiing the last three years, there have been no fewer than. - '233 cases of stabbing and attempting to stab, the number actual cases of stabbing being 174, and of attempting to stab 59. During the last twelve mouths, up to . the 18th instant, the number of actual cases of stabbing.was 71, and of attempting; to stab 28 ; in all 99. Of the 71 actual stabbing eases,. eight were sent for trial to ftltt d eight to the sessions ; three were summsvav were fined, one re Lifts antier3 the presiding magistrates. From this return it suit fie seen that a division 'cf the number of cases in the ',two first years of the peridd .equally gives to each so that the last year has a in:excess of each of its two prede cessors. There can 4,e little doubt but that the returns have been made for government purposes, as it is uniier stood that they are being furnished from the different Ire towns throe .g,houtifie country NEW lEONWOrKSJET THE SOUTH END. — Thee in course of building kin Harrington-street, Potteri extensive iron manufactory, in connexion with the Mere* Steel and Iron Company's works, Seft on - s t ree t, 'known af the Forge. It is stagthat this new establishment Will afford employment for nearly 300 men. These works trre to supersede those now in operation in Mersey View-stieet, which have been fonrfd far too small for the growingi•re quirements of the iron'trade. The nature of the woilk to be carried on at the :new building is somewhat different to that in Sefton-street. At this branch of the company's works all the heavy poeti'ons of machinery are produced, 1- I • such as shafting for large marine engines. lt was at this place the immense swivel-gun was manufactured for; the American frigate Princetown, in lieu of the one whith burst. Some idea of the extent of the business done.at this establishment may ;be gathered from the fact.that eight large engines are iday and night (with the exception of Sunday) continually. -at work. The new works Will be principally set apart for rolling iron ; the process being simply to form a solid lump of iron from scraps which have been thrown into :a small furnace, and which, after having been worked "ap,iis placed between rollers, amd so forged into any required breadth and thickness. This is an improvement upon the old method of hammering. The works are the property 'of the Messrs. Horsfall, bro -thers to the member for Liverpool. Ls. nuarr OF CA.RRIVIIS.—On Wednesday an action twas brought in the Liverpodl County Court by Messrs. `Harker, of this town, against the Manchester, Sheffield, :and Lincolnshire Railway, -through their agents here, - Messrs. Faulkner and Co. The claim was for £2 14s„ -the value of thirty-six baskets of cherries, which ar rived from Hamburg by -steamer, and .were forwarded 'from Grimsby to this town, per the defendants' line, 'but did not reach the plaintiffe' hands till they hail fermented and were unfit for use. Mr. Alfred Hughes, of Manchester, in the employ of Messrs. Faulkner and C 0.., stated that the cherries were , received in Grimsby on the Ilet•of August, by steamer from Hamburg, and that they !left'by the regular fruit train. Their were received in Manchester the same day, andleft there by the night train in due course. He thought, therefore, that, if there were any delay, the London and North-western Company were liable for it.—His Honour said No such thing. It had `been decided, over and over again, that the first parties entrusted with anything were liable for its safe delivery, It was quite clear, undoubted law, and good reason. If any man, or set of men, undertook to deliver goods, they were responsible for the safe delivery of suel goods. There was no .contract shown with the London and North western Railway ; the contract was with the defendants. Lltimately-the case was adjourned till the-9tk of Decem ber, in order that it might be ascertained where the delays actually occurred.

The parliamentary train from Leeds, consisting of an engine and tenser, three passenger carriages, and breakvau, which is dueAt Knot tingley at.2o minutes past 8, a.m, Arrived thereat about the properftime, and the passenger •carriages basiibg been attached to others from York, the .united train was Pro ceeding on its way to Doncaster, when, in crossing the junction with the up-line to Goole, about 200 or 300 yards from the station, a goods train from that town, which arrived at the, point of intersection at the same moment, dashed through the passenger train, cutting it in -tsvo about the middle, and knocking off the body of a thiod class carriage, containing about 20 passengers. The vehicle rolled over on its side, amid a terrible screaming from the persons in it, while the wheels and under part of the vehicle remained standing on the line. The accident happening so near the station, effective assistance was promptly rendered, and the passengers, who were tumbling over one another in a state of great consternation, were speedily extricated without any more serious wounds than superficial bruises, with the exception of one man, who complained of internal inSuries from having been severely crushed under the great bulk of the other passengers. The goods engine sustained scarcely any damage, owing, no doubt, to the body of the _carriage with which it came in contact separating so easily from it supporters. The driver and stoker of the goods engine received no injury, although they remained on the engine ; indeed, they had no alternative, for the dense fog prevailing at the time prevented them from seeing the passenger train until they had run into it, and the signals were totally invisible.

One of the requisitionists, Mr. Harrison, moved that a burial ground should be provided for the extra-parochial place of Toxteth-park, under the acts 15 and 16 Vic., and 16 and 17 Vic. Mr. Alpas seconded the motion, which, after a long discussion, was carried unanimously. Mr. Alpas then moved that the following be appointed the burial board for the township, namely, Messrs. Gregson, J. Harrison, James Robertson, William Fisher, G. Harri son, J. D. Carter, Thomas Smith, R. Miller, and H. S. Alpas. Mr. Haihead seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Harrison next moved, " That the imri - al board be, and are hereby authorised to expend any sum not exceeding £15,000 for purchasing and laying out the burial ground, and for building the neces sary church or chapel thereon." He stated that land had been offered for the purpose in several situations, and he trusted that the board would be able to negociate such a purchase as would meet the satisfaction of the rate-payers. Mr. Macicol seconded the motion, which • was also unani mously agreed to. The next business was to appoint a day when the three first members of the board should retire from office; and, on the motion of Mr. Halhead, seconded by Mr. Alpas, the first Thursday iu May was the day fixed upon.

On Saturday night the defendants came into the coffee room, and said they wanted a row with the French men, and they immediately began to insult some Frenchmen who were in the coffee-room. A general fight then com menced, the Frenchmen using their sticks and knives, and the Englishmen their fists. Cups, saucers, milk-pots. and sugar-basons were the ammunition on both sides, and in this way damage was done to the crockery and the coffee room to the extent of 50s. Mr. Bingham, the magistrate, remarked that, of the belligerents, the Frenchmen ap peared to have had the best. The waiter said he thought so too, but there were sixteen Frenchmen to six English men, and it was sticks against fists. The defendants were fined bOs each, and ordered in addition to find sureties for their keeping the peace. FRIGHTFUL ATTACK BY DOGS.-011 Monday, Mr. Geo. Birch, of the firm of Birch and Rawlins, house agents, Cherry-street, called upon some of his tenants in Pritchett street.

Scarcely, however, had he put his foot upon the threshold, when a rung dog rushed at him and seized him by the leg. lie had scarcely time to shake off tb' savage animal when three others made their app, and instantly sprang upon hilt, worrying him in the most infuriated manner. One powerful animal attempted to seize him by the throat, and in the spring bore Mr. Birch to the ground. The dogs fastened on him in every quarter, ferociously tearing his clothes to shreds, and lacerating the flesh. At this moment his cries and the uproar created by the growlitirof the dogs attracted the atten tion of same.of the neigkbours, chiefly females, who ran to his assistance, or in awl probability he would have been torn to 'pieces. As it 'was, they found him lying an the floor bleeding, and almost insensible, with every :article of apparel in rags. The shrieks of the women only added t o the fttry of the dogs. One female, however, courageously interposed between them and Mr. Birch, at , considerable risk - fold, with the aid of those present, succeeded in beat ing item off. Hoar he was rescued, Mr. Birth tan scarcely recollect.—Birminykam Journal. WICEADPITL ACCIDENT AT PLYMOUTH.---LOZI Thursday evening, at ten oz6lcck, two houses in - Southside-street, TlYmoigh, fell down, and caused the deathof several per- The i premises, which were vry..Old, had been per thased by the Improvement Commissioners, for the pur pose,of wideningike street. They comprise a frontage of abet:6'7o feeeby:a depth of 20, having adz& stone walls at the Sides. The front and rear consistedteliefly of partition 'work. The 'purdhaser of the materials sold the doors, windows, andi moveable portions in acts to various per lolls, who removes them forthwith. The place was thus thrown open, antl became the resort (of a number of lads, who were jumping and playing about, when, with the exception of the two walls, the whole suddenly fell in. Many escaped with slight bruises, 'bittlhe following were earance Aug Stanhcry, aged 12, whose 'father is a' bilreein Southside-street.; kßiehard Stubbs, 8, -sogrof a pilot inNew-street ; Edwarli -Jones, 12, son of a `fisherman ; John Foley, 10, son -Icif lot ; John Stoyles, 18.anason,' CaMbridge-street, and AV. %Williams, 11 son of a Bierman, New-street.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACGTDENT 'AT STAlN sutapaß.—AnotiuT of those fatAl accialents resulting from the careless hauMing of fire-arms, -occurred on Wednes day last, at Stair-bridge. The unfortunate man in 'the present instance is Mr. 'Robert Morrison, of Triboch . Maims, Stair ; ant the person Who wised his deathis a guar:-man namell Wm. Liaeall. _A little before two o'clock, afternoon., the deceased was :at the Manse, and 'had received permission to shoot Wiew rabbits 041 'the glebe /ands. Befare commencing he called at the Midge Inn, accompanied by Liddell, where they were supplied with some whisky and both continua chatting together for upwards of two hours. Mr. 3lerrison then rose to leave, ;and lifted lam; gun from the kitchen bed,,where lue had placed it on entering, - saying that he was Ong to have a Shot at the rabbits. Mrs. Pettigrew, the landlady, called to him to take care, asking if - the piece was loaded. He replied that it was, but there was no danger, as -the might pull the trigger and it would not go off, adding that' it was only on half cock. Re then held out the butt end to Liddell, who was standing near, telling him to try it. Liddell put forward his 'lmndiand in doing-so must have touched the rigger, which; raost unfortunately, was instsatly discharged. The gun, ;a double-barrelled one, was 'leaded with No. 5 shot. The whole charge en tered the breast of Morison, passing - through his heart, and he neither spoke nor moved after: Le fell. A careful investigation took place 'by the proper authorities. No thing, however, was fount to implicate Liddell. That the occurrence was entirely accidental there is no doubt ; but the fool-harilitiess of a roan touching the trigger of a loaded gun, pointed at thetreast of another, cannot be too strongly reprobated. Mr. 'Morrison was *bent 42 years of ;age. He has left a widow and a young family. It is ,somewhat singular that he,was in Ayr the Tuesday pre- Mous, and got ;his will drawn up and completed in due 'form, little thinking that the very next day he would be eternity.—Ayr Observer. A BRUTAL MURDER was irrpetrated in Norfolk, on Friday week :thetvictim is Lorewo Belia, a - jeweller of Nor wich, who travelletl the neighbourhood with trinkets. As a hatcher of Tittlesbell was coming home from Wallingham, a , neighbouring vill?ge, he observed blood in the road, which he traced through .the lagge to a (lit& on the cos non, where he found the murdered man. The head ha.dteen nearly severed from his .body by a blow across the :tack of the ;seek, and there were four deeply-cut wounds on his temples and face. By the side of the murdered man lay a .woodman's hatchet, covered with blood and hair. His trousers' pockets were turned4nside out, ant; rifled, but in Us waistcoat pocket was a watch, still going. Shortly afterwards a man named William Webster went to the parish,constablea, And stated that as he was driving along in 'Ms cart in the afternoon She observed asnan in the plantation near swhich the book' was found, who stooped down and hid himself as he approached. This man, he said, w as William Thompson, a labourer 'employed in felling timber. Proceeding to Thompson's . touse, the constables found hha in bed ; and ;upon his ,bed, not at all secreted, was a pair .of trousers, the legs of which were soaked with blood.; and in another room were a pair of highlows, in the lace-holes of which blood was also .observable. The prisoner was brought , before the county magistrates on Saturday, when William Webster identified him as the man he had seea in the plantation; and two other men deposed to having met him coming in great haste from the spot where the body was found, on the afternoon of the murder. He had been flush of money, paying several bills, and according to one woman took the money from a purse like that of Belia's. He is only eighteen years of age, and his appearance is described ,as superior to that which is generally charac teristic of his class. The prisoner's house was again searched, and behind some old boots in an oven a watch was found, with name "L. Belia," as maker on it, Another watch ivas found in the chimney, and another in the water-closet; in the house were also found two bunches of keys, When the ollicer opened the oven, con taining the first watch, the prisoner's father said, " Oh, that has been searched before." His family are said to be by no means of a general good character. He has since been committed for trial at the assizes, STAMP RECEIPTS. The Commissioners of Inland Revenue, in answer to the many questions which have been made to them relating to the new stamp duties, have authorised the publication of a popular explanation of the recent statue. It appears from this that the stamping of a receipt for any sum above 40s. is not an optional matter, between payer and receiver, but that if any receipt at all is given, it must be stamped, under a penalty of £lO. Entries made by persons receiving money in pass-books, kept by the person paying the money — memorandums of money paid on sale by auction, payment of wages, or any other transaction—discharges and acknowledgments of payment made by bills, notes, drafts, or other securities— the writing!'" paid," " balanced," " discharged," " settled" or such like, on a bill of parcels or invoice—are to be reckoned as the giving of receipts, and as such, if relating to sums exceeding 405., are liable to stamp duty. The chief exemptions from the duty are—receipts written upon promissory notes, bills of exchange, or drafts, or orders for the payment of money, already duly stamped; receipts written upon bills of exchange (unstamped) drawn out of, but payable in, the United Ki ng d om ; l e tt ers by post, acknowledging the safe arrival of bank-notes, bank post bills, bills of exchange, cheques, letters of credit, post-office orders, or other promissory notes, or securities for money, provided the receipt of money itself be not acknowledged,or any intimati on b e conveyed relative to the appropriation of the money represented by these securities ; receipts for land-tax, property and income taxes, and assessed taxes, and bankers' deposit notes, or accountable receipts. To make a cheque to a banker, payable to bearer on demand, not liable to stamp duty, it must be issued within fifteen miles of the place where the banker carries on his business ; must be dated on or before, and not after, the day on which it is issued, and must not direct payment to be made by a bill or note. Persons residing beyond the distance of 15 miles from their banker, ought, therefore, at all times to be provided with stamps, since any infraction of the part of the law just mentioned, subjects the issuer of the un stamped cheque, and the banker who, carrying on business at a greater distance than fifteen miles, knowingly pays it, to a penalty of £lOO each; and the person knowingly recgiying it in payment to a penalty of £2O, A LOAN SOCIETY has been opened in Oxford for the Alaraed is only thirty per cent ts, Dover AN OLD PEAR TREE at was blown down some four years ie Western 11€ _ go and has sit but at the present twice planted without any sign of lift time (17th of November) it is in full bloom. Pnixosopnir ox THE BENCH.—Lately, in the Ex chequer, in the midst of a learned artrument upon the construction of an act of parliament, in which the pro noun " he" occur re d, th e learned Chief Baron observed— "lt has been the course of modern legislation to enact that the word he may be read she." Precisely so," added Mr. Baron Alderson, "and the singular may be read plural; ergo, one man may be taken to mean three women .1" TICE GUARD of an omnibus plying between Glasgow and Baillieston, who goes to kirk morning and evening on Sundays, but is obliged to conduct his omnibus before and after the hours of service, recently applied to the Kirk Session for permission to have his child baptised. The case was referred to the meeting of the presbytery, who decided that the man " was unable, from his engagements, to fulfil the obligations which baptism involved; and h e was not, therefore, entitled to that privilege." SITICIDE.—A man was found by some boys hanging dead inside a hollow tree in Hyde-park, on Saturday se'nnight. In his pocket was a paper, on which was written, " I die a victim, and not_a self-murderer ;" and also an address, "W. Warner, Pudbrook, near Botley, Southampton." On application to this Mr. Warner, it was found that a person, answering the description of deceased, had been his clerk, and had lately left his situation without any apparent cause, except Mr. Warner considered that he was of unsound mind. A verdict of " Found dead" was returned. PHOTOGRAPHY ON TEXTILE FABRICS.—MeSSTS. of Paris, have placed before the French Institute some specimens of photography on linen, oilcloth, chintz, &c. This discovery will be of great importance for architectural ornamentation and oth can be cleaned by wiping, nay, they can be washed, and a portrait on linen or long-cloth can be forwarded in a letter. As, moreover, these photographs can be obtained at a cheaper rate than those on metal or paper, the art will become more popularised. A SHORT WAY TO DEAL WITH THE SCRUPLES OP CONSCIENCE.—The Univers vouches for the following story, on the authority of a letter from Bucharest :—" Six polish soldiers in Moldavia, who read the first proclama tion of the Emperor of Russia, in which he says that his army would march in support of the orthodox faith, so licited their discharge, declaring that, as "Catholics," they could not conscientiously fight in defence of the Greek re ligion. The fact was communicated to the Government of St. Petersburg, with a request for instruction, and the answer received was, that the men w ere t o b e shot. The order was immediately carried into execution." MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY SPANISH SAILORS.-011 Tuesday morning, in High-street, Deptford, an atrocious attempt was made to murder two men named John Sullivan and Thomas Breslam. Three or four men were ill-using a respectable woman, near the gate of the Dept ford Dock-yard, when she screamed violently, and Sullivan and Breslam went to her assistance, when a claiming, " Oh,' I am stabbed." Sullivan was also stabbed immediately afterwards. The Spaniards, on the cry of murder being raised, managed - to escape. MILITARY QUARREL.—The following affair appears to have caused a little sensation from the rank of the parties concerned. About two weeks ago an affray of a very nove character took place in the Citadel barrack-yard, Corfu between Lieut.-Colonel Denny, 71st Highlanders, and Dr ptinCipal medic 11 1 officer at the station. It appears that the doctor found fault with the colonel for drilling his men so much in the sun, which gave rise to a stormy altercation ween tt :ring w doctor's whip, alleging that he (the doctor) made use of it in a menacing manner towards him. On this request being refused, the colonel attempted to take it by force, which he was prevented from doing by the doctor throw- _ ing the whip over the railings. The affair ended by the colonel placing the doctor under arrest, and had him escorted to his quarters by an ensign of the 71st. It is not knew') how the matter was patched up, but they are both doing duty as usual.—United Service Gazette. SEVEN PEOPLE DROWNED.—The fog on Monday last week at Stourbridge was the occasion of several fatal accidents. Two young women, sisters, on their way home from work, missed the Wordsley dock, and walked Into the water. Both were got out of the water, but not untfi.one of them was past recovery, and the other appears to be in a somewhat precarious state. Two young women, sisters-in-law, named Reece, with a young man named Alfred Hampshire, who was courting Miss Reece, were present when they were brought to their house; and Miss Reece having observed to Hampshire that they had better go to look for her father, who would be by the canal side, they started together, and it appears soon met the father, with a lighted candle sheltered between his hands. The father joined the party, and almost immediately afterwards the whole four walked into the water together. All were brought to land, but not before life was extinct in both the females. A young man, named Joseph Ridley, married and 'having one child, was also drowned in the same neighbourhood ; also a boy called Mail, and an Irishman, name unknown. A boy who had been bedding up a horse on the Stourbridge canal side, in endeavouring to find his ,way hime, walked into the canal and was drowned.; POwrAL ANOMALIES.—The postage on a letter exceeding an ounce in weight by the smallest scruple, transmitted to India-rid Marseilles, is 78.9 d. ! This is probably the most this exorbitant charge for letter postage necessary—for a newspaper weighing three ounces is transferred to India vid Marseilles for 3d. or for only Id. per ounce. Thus mart gcript mail matter is charged at the rate of 812,000 per ton in this direction, printed matter pays only at the rate of 0160 per ton. The postal anomalies in other directions are more striking still. From the Channel Islandstto the remotest of the Shetland group, changing from.stitamer to railway, and from railway to steamer for nearly;l,ooo miles, the charge on a letter weighing half an ounce is ld. From Dover to Calais, two ports almost within light of each other, the charge on a letter of the same wen ht is ls. 3d. ! From the iwestern boundary of Texas to the north-eastern boundary of the American union, a klistance of 3,000 miles, lid. From Dover to San Francisco, in California, rid the United States, involving three oeeaa transits, each averaging 2,000 miles, besides three inland services, ls. 2d. From Dover to Calais, a Aistance.uf less than thirty miles, one shilling and three _pence for,a letter weighing half an ounce! The charge on a single kti.er from London to New York is is., but from London to Can Francisco rid New York is ls. 2d., leaving only 2d. fornhe cost of its transmission from New York to Chagres, the ice across the Isthmus to Panama, thence by ocean steaanr to San Francisco, a voyage of about 15 .days ! These are some of the postal anomalies: which would be removed by the establishment of a universal ocean penny ppstage.

FRESH ME AN BARRAGES:The physician to the King of Sweden shows that the enormous mortality of ' the garrisoned troops in the chief European armies, that of England inOluded, is largely owing to the small quantity of fresh air allowed them, especially by night. The ventilation system recommended by the author is that of M. L6on Diwoir. The cknantity of pure air required by each soldier he estimates at forty-eight cubic metres, which no European army even approaches. The European soldiery are the flower of their youth, but in France 19 in 1,000 of these men die annually, while of the male population there is only a mortality (between 20 and 30 years of age) of 10 per 1,000. 10 England the mortality in the Footguards, from consumption, is 14.1 per 1,000, which is three times the average of the general population. LAN OF Evrniurcr. The district court of Schaffhausen, in Switzerland, has lately furnished a useful precedent in the law of evidence. A citizen of Schaff hausen was accused of having boxed the ears of another citizen, There were no witnesses to the act, for at the time of the alleged offence the parties were alone in the coffee-room of an hotel. But the landlord and the waiters who were in a room near to the scene of action, swore that they heard the blow. The defendant, of course, pleaded " Not guilty," and that if even the offence had been committed, the witnesses could not have heard the blow. In order to elucidate this very nice point, the court adjourned to the scene of the alleged offence. Several members took the places of the witnesses in the case ; two of the judges were locked up in the coffee-room, and the ears of one of them were duly boxed by the other. It was clearly established that the blow could be heard in the adjoining room, and that the plaintiff's witnesses were correct in their statements, Sentence accordingly. WONDERFUL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE ELECTRIC TELE GRAPH.—WonderfuI as the electric telegraph in its present form is allowed to be, it is on th e po i n t o f b e i ng discoveries imp rovemen t s .

By a con trivance of surpassing ingenuity the transmission of the message will be simultaneous to any numbe r o f ra diating stations without the aid of intermediate operators, only one operator being required at each telegraph. This invention is calculated to insure the most perfect and unerring accuracy by the absence of quivering points and needles, and by abstaining from the use of chemical pre parations, always liable to mislead and very often to fail. The arrangement of the apparatus is managed in such a manner as to give motion to a marker or tracer, and thereby impress, mark, or otherwise ren d er visible, in a continuous line on paper, characters representing letters, words, and figures on the recording surface, which is kept constantly moving by means of clockwork, or other suita ble machinery, whilst the characters are being marked upon it in such a manner that they may be distinctly and easily read. There will be only one telegraph wire used, and the message sent will be written at the place from which it is despatched,. as well as at th a t to which it is transmitted, thus enabling the sender to verify his message aS it is written.

In this case there were no such grounds. but contended that Ilieresi Lon was orougnt to recover, rs. 6d. for work and labour for the' defendant ie Bth of October last in the words of the summons done by the DI Revision ( in attending the The plaintiff proved that he had received the notice of objection to his name being put upon the burgess list on the 15th of Sep tember, signed by Mr. Buckmaster. He accordingly at- • •=• tended t h e Revision Court on the Bth of October, from ten o'clock in the morning until half-past two, and when I his name was called upon, Mr. Buckmaster said " the objection is withdrawn In cross-examination by Mr. Bremner, the plaintiff said that during the time he stayed he heard some hundred oojectzons made by by a Mr. Brumfit. !master anc hundreds Mr. Bremner contended that the action could not be maintained, and that the•plaintiff must be nousuited, upon two grounds ; first, by the 17 sec. of the statute of William: "Every person whose name shall have been inserted in any burgess list for any borough may object to any other person as not being entitled to have his name retained in the burgess fist for the same borough." Now that was without any limitation, nor did the statute inflict any Under the reform bill there was no a notice of objection, and it was not eleven years after _ the Reform Bill, penalty for so doing, penalty for serving that the legislature passed the statute which gave a revis ing barrister in counties and boroughs power to inflict costs " upon any person who shall have made, or at-. tempted to sustain, any groundless or frivolous and vexa tious claim or objection ;" but the legislature has not thought fit to grant such'power to the court for revising the municipal lists. If the legislature had thought that they should have had that power, they would have given it, because since the statute of Victoria had passed there had been many acts passed amending the municipal reform act, but no clause had been proposed, though it would have been very simple to have done so. The statute, therefore, having given the right to object to any person, the objector could not be liable in law for having made an objection though it did not succeed. The second ground upon which he contended that the plaintiff must be nonsuited was, that the summons was " for work done by me for you," which had not been attempted to be proved, and of course could not. Mr. Akpinall said that his Honour could amend. His Honour asked Mr. Aspinall to put down in writing the amendment which he proposed to make. Mr. Aspinall moved to amend the summons as follows " For maliciously, and without reasonable or probable cause, objecting to the plaintiff as not being entitled to have his name retained on the burgess list for the borough of Liverpool, and thereby causing him great loss of time in attending the Municipal Revi s i on C our t , on S a t ur d ay, Bth October." Mr. Bremner submitted that the court had no power to make this amendment —that though the court had large powers of amendment, and very properly so f.,r the sake of poor persons who made out their on-n plaints, and who _ _ • • •.• .• substituting an entirely different cause of action, which it would be doing if it made the amendment proposed. His Honour said that he was of opinion that he could not make the amendment, and that the plaintiff must be nonsuited, on this ground, but that he would allow a new summons to issue without further expense to the plaintiff. His Honour further said, that he was prepared to give judgment if both parties agreed to take the new summons as issued. This was agreed to. Mr. Bremner contended that there was no malice, or want of reasonable cause upon which to ground the action against the defendant. He had exercised but a statutable right in objecting to the plaintiff; and it could not be contended that he had done so maliciously against the plaintiff, for they had heard that hundreds of like objec tions had been made against other parties by Mr. Buck master. Mr. Bremner also argued that as the objection had been served on the 15th September, Mr. Buckmaster might then have believed that valid grounds did exist, though he might afterwards discover that no reasonable grounds did exist. He therefore submitted that the plain tiff should be non-suited. Mr. Aspinall replied, that Mr. Bremner's answer to the malicious intent was the oddest possible, for it meant that a man could not be considered to have acted maliciously to an individual, if at the same time he acted maliciously to hundreds of others. His Honour said he had no evidence of malicious objec tions in any case at all. It might be, for all that ap peared in evidence, that 200 objections were made and 199 of them were held good. Mr. Aspinall contended there was the strongest evi dence that there was no reasonable ground for the objec tion, for when the case was called on,. Mr.. Buckmaster withdrew the objection. His Honour was not prepared to say that an action might not 1- ‘upnort-A bef- - 'he -0 ue s ~,,rtea tor bringing a person „tore Municipal Revision C our t t o d e f en d his undoubted right if he was so brought maliciously and without reasonable' cause. In this case he was of opinion that there was evidence to support the charge of malice or want of I sonable or probable cause. It was quite true that ma need not be prove be inferred; but in that A there was a want Nmpti case it was for the plaintiff to prove of probable cause for objection. When a person an action, it was not to be considered as a want of pro bable or reasonable cause, and that was the position of the present case as it was put before the court. That was the whole of the evidence before him ; but he was of opinion that that was not enough either to infer inalid , or want of probable or reasonableeause. He should th ere f ore .non- suit the p] )e considered that he g no opinion on any other case which might come before I supported by such evidence as he had referred to. THE CHARGE AGAINST MR. BRA.DLET.—OR Thursday', the committee appointed to inquire into the allegations made by Mr. Hodson against Mr. Bradley, met again at the Town-hall.
