instance in which it has been necessary to disavow its acts. THE NEAPOLITAN CAMPAIGN. MEETING OF KING VICTOR EMMANUEL AND GARIBALDI. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) TURIN, Nov. 2. Victor Emmanuel has put off his entry into Naples for a few days. Before going to receive the acclamations of the inhabitants, he wishes to seal the annexation voted by the Plebiscite by a decisive victory over the Neapolitans. The task he has imposed upon himself will not be an easy one, but its execution is the reverse of impossible. The corps which is stationed between Gaeta and Pignatava, is estimated at • XO,OOO men. That which guards the defiles of Borano amounts to 1,000, t learn, and I have every reason to believe the news to be true, that Austrian, Bava rian, and Spanish volunteers are disembarking e'irery day at Gaeta; Thg iegular Piedifiontese army has been rein forced by seven divisions of Garibaldians, or at least of that portion which remains of the Corps of Volunteers, who have been decimated not only by the fire of the enemy, but by sickness and desertions. In order to attain a regular organisa tion, which shall secure for the Garibaldians the benefits of a service d'intendance, of hospitals, and likewise those rewards which are due to the bravery of the men, they have expressed a desire to be classed in regiments, and to be designated by numbers after the manner of the army of Victor Emmanuel. Colonel Masi, who, in the Ornbria, commanded the volunteers called " Chas tetirs du Tibre," has given the same name to his Corps; King Francis despatched General Ctitrofiano to Warsaw, as he, having taken part in the war, Would be able td gi - t'e full information regarding Matters to. the Sovereigns. But it is understood that he did not arrive in tithe ; besides, the death of the Empress Mother would render the Emperor Alexander very little disposed to enter upon the subject of his mission, should the General. be advised to push on to St. Petersburg. Victor Emmanuel has made the acquaintance of the Garibaldians. He reviewed them at Monte Croce. Hardly had the staff of the King Made its appearance in the plain, than Garibaldi 'ent forward to meet his Majesty. The King and the Dictator grasped each other by the hand, their faces at the same time expressing emotions, of the liveliest joy. The King was received with th e loudest acclamations, as he rode along the line, accompanied by General Fanti, the minister Parini, and most of the officers of the staff. In the staff in attendance on Garibaldi figured twenty of his most devoted officers—Trecchi, Caldesi, Baron d' Ondes, and two correspondents of English journals. After thp review, the King and Garibaldi tvithdrew to concert the plan of the campaign. Intelligence was received here yesterday that 'Admiral Persano has received orders to attack Gaeta by sea, notwithstanding the presence of th e foreign squadron. It is probable that he will do so, because the sooner the siege of that citadel is ended the better for all parties concerned. If the siege be prolonged, the Powers might insist lipon an armistice taking place, which would be viewed here as a grave check. The Genoese journals announce the embarkation of troops for Naples. Nothing shows more clearly that an immediate attack by Austria on Piedmont is no longer apprehended. These troops were 'retained at Genoa for several days, in order that th e y might be ready to be conveyed to the banks of the Mincio in case of necessity. THE WARSAW CONFERENCE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) BERLIN, Nov. 1, 1860. The Prince Regent received to-day, by tele graph from St. Petersburg, the melancholy tidings of the decease of the Dowager Empress of Russia, Widow of the late Emperor Nicolas, who died this korning at half-past seven, at Tsarko-telo, near St. Petersburg. The death of Her Majesty has caused the greatest grief in that city. The Em- Press saw and gave her blessing to all her chil dren yesterday. She charged them to transmit tile expressions of her tender regards to .her rela tives belonging to the Prussian royal family. The Princes Charles and Albert, brothers of the late Empress, are to set out to-morrow for St. Peters burg. Nothing appears to be decided as to the departure for the same destination of the Prince Regent, as his indisposition still continues. There is no further news "on the subject of Warsaw, unless it be the confirmation of the negative result of the interview. We are spared those fallacious i eports which, after the Tceplitz meeting, so much disturbed the public mind. No doubt some journals give a sort of timid currency to the report that Austria had received certain Promises of support or guarantees, in the event of 'Venetia being attacked, provided it were made by Sardinia alone; but they are not worthy of notice. The negotiations- for the allocation among the different States, other than England and Ham burg, of the three million destined for the redemp tion of the Stade Duties, are in a good train for Settlement. The allocation will probably take Place according to the respective flags, and not according to the place of origin of the produce and goods. The National Gazette publishes the text .of the declaration made by the Saxon Envoy at the last sitting of the Diet to consider the notification made by Sardinia of the blockade of Ancona. It is in these terms — The notification of such an act manifests a want of respect for. the Confederation and a despisal of political Principles which regulate the acts of its members. It is an act which forms part of a manifest rupture of the Public peace, and an infraction of public law, such as history has scarcely hitherto seen an example. Even although this incident belongs to history, a writing Which in the eyes of the Royal Government (of Saxony) forgets the respect due to the Confederation, ought not to pass without meeting with a direct refusal. ' I am informed also that the representative of Austria, on the same occasion, passed himself With much energy, to the same effect. This was only what might have been expected. The proceedings of the French Admiral before Gaeta are the subject of a good many comments. One often hears the observation made in public, that France appears to comprehend and apply, in a manner altogether novel, the principle of non intervention. To-day, for example, it even ap pears that t news has been received here to the effect that the French Admiral has declared a certain extent of the Neapolitan coast, from the Garigliano as far as Spalango, to be neutral ground. I cannot vouch for the truth of this statement; but I should not be surprised to find it confirmed. A deputation of the Regiment of Cuirassiers, of which the late Empress, strange as it may sound to English ears, was the chief, has set out for St. Petersburg, to be present at the funeral obsequies. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday, John Wybergh, Esq., deputy-coroner, held an inquest on the body of Morris Broderick, twenty-two , years old, a labourer. Re was missed about three weeks ago, and on Saturday his body was found in the Canada Dock. Verdict — found drowned. A rather singular story comes to us from St. Domingo, viz., the discovery of a bust of Lord Nelson in a remote district. The bust was found on a fetish altar, where for half a century it had been worshipped as a heathen god. _ SWITZERLAND. --The Ticino Gazette announces that, in consequence of the threatening attitude of Piedmont and Austria towards each other,, the Federal Military Deiartment has been engaged in preparing measures for protecting the frontier of Switzerland in case of War. NEWSPAPERS IN PARlS. —Paris possesses at present 503 newspapers ; forty-two of these, as treating of Politics and national economy, have to deposit a security in the hands of Government; 460 are devoted to art, science, literature, industry, commerce, and agriculture. The most ancient of the latter is the Journal des Sevens, and dates from the year 1665. ADVENTURE WITH A BEAR. —An inhabitant of the Valley of Louron (Hautes-Pyrenees), a few days ago, drove his milch cow—which constituted the, ,principal resource of his family—to a neighbouring m ountain to feed, taking with him an axe to cut down any dead branches of trees he might perceive. While occupied in lopping off some parts of an old fir, he suddenly heard a noise near him, and going to the spot was horror struck to see his cow lyinc , on the ground struggling With a large bear. Without thinking of the danger he incurred, the man rushed forward and struck the bear a heavy blow with the axe on the head. The latter then let go his prey and turned against his new adversary, and rising'on his hind legs, prepared for a fight. The man, however, seeing that his cow had not been 'njured and Was galloping towards its home, did not feel any inclina tion to renew the contest, and so took refuge in a tree which stood near. The bear, furious at the blow it had received, came to the foot of the tree, and commenced climbing ; but when it reached near the branch where the man was perched, the latter dealt it another violent blow on the head, which made it descend more rapidly than it had gone up, and it then crawled away towards a ravine. The cow having reached home without the b lan, the family became alarmed, and a number of his neighbours, armed with pitchforks and other weapons, 'arne in search, and found him still perched in the tree, fearing to descend. A battue was decided on for the eat day against the bear. LATEST NEWS. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) THE FRENCH IN SYRIA. A leading article in the Patrie insists strongly upon the necessity both of augmenting the French army in Syria to a larger force, and prolonging its occupation for a longer term than it is limited by treaty. AUSTRIA AND VENETIA. It is remarked that, according to the recent news from Venice, the Austrians have suddenly ceased to send troops and ammunition towards the Lombard frontiers. Le Freese, of Paris, quotes correspondence froth Vienna, speaking of negotiations, through Dc IVietternicla; forfora peaceable solution of the Venetian question, which can only refer to a pro ject for the cession of Venetia by Austria to Victor Emmanuel for a money consideration. THE ROMAN STATES. The Code Napoleon has been promulgated in the Marches. FRENCH DESPATCHES FROM CHINA. The Moniteur publishes the official despatches from the Commander of the French Forces in China. He states that in storming the Tartar camp on the 14th August, Lieutenant-Colonel Schmitz, who commanded the storming column, was the first to reach the top of the parapet after crossing the ditch full of water, in which he was the first to throw himself. In storming the first of the Peiho forts he says that the French flag was planted on the summit by drummer Fachard, of the 102nd, one of the first arrived. The French General issued the following gene ral order :—The forts of the Peiho have fallen into the power of the allied armies, with 518 guns of large calibre and an immense quantity of arms and ammunition. I thank you, in the name of the Emperor, for the constancy and energy which you have displayed. You have carried high the flag of France at 8,000 league§ from home, and in a country in which the soil often failed beneath your feet. The Emperor will bear in mind what you have done. MEETING OF VICTOR EMMANUEL AND GARIBALDI. The Times gives an account of this event, which took place on the 26th October. Garibaldi, on being informed that Cialdini was within an hour's march, and that the King was not far behind, left immediately with his staff. On coming up with the column the Piedmontese troops presented arms gnd opened to allow him to pass through. Garibaldi dismounted and embraced Cialdini affectionately ; he then re mounted to meet the King, who was not far behind leading his own division. Victor Emma nuel recognised the red shirts with his telescope, and galloped towards Garibaldi. Garibaldi did the same when they were within ten paces of each other. The, officers of the King and Gari baldi shouted " Long live Victor Emmanuel." Garibaldi advanced, and in a voice hoarse with emotion said, " King of Italy." Victor Emmanuel put his hand to his kepi, then held it to Gari baldi, and equally moved, replied, " Thank you." They stood thus, hand in hand, nearly a minute without uttering another word. Garibaldi and the King, still holding each other's hand, followed the troops for about a quarter of an hour. Before reaching Teano the King ordered a portion' of his army to file off before Garibaldi that every one might observe the good feeling between him and the chieftain. The King afterwards reviewed one of Garibaldi's brigades, and was received with an unanimous shout of " Long live the King of Italy." GARIBALDI AND THE ENGLISH CHURCH AT NAPLES. The following is the reply of Garibaldi to a deputation for permission for the English commu nity at Naples to purchase a site for a church : " Grateful for the efficacious and generous sym pathy of the English, the Dictator thinks that this is a very small return to make for so many services received from them in the support of the noble cause of the Italians. Not only is permis sion granted to erect a church within the limits of the capital to persons who worship the same God as the Italians,but the English are requested to accept, as a national gift, the small spot of ground required for the proposed project for which they desire the use.—G. GARIBALDI." THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, Nov. 5. 3.25 P.M.—The Bourse has been very firm, and all Securities have again improved. Rentes closed at 69f. 90c., or 40 centimes higher than on Saturday. The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : THE VOTING IN THE TWO SICILIES.— GREAT VICTORY OF THE PIEDMON TESE ARMY. ENTRY OF VICTOR EMMANUEL INTO NAPLES. The. Daily News publishes the following despatch from its own correspondent: — NAPLES, Nov. The result of the Plebiscite has been officially declared to-day as follows :—Ayes, 1,302,0 64 ; noes, 10,312 ; majority in favour of annexation, 1,291,752. Nine thousand disarmed prisoners have arrived from Capua. Great rejoicings are taking place in Naples. It is said that King Victor Emmanuel will arrive to-day. Garibaldi remains in Naples. The battle on the Garigano, on Saturday last, is described in the Daily News. Victor Emmanuel crossed the river last Wednesday, the enemy falling back before him upon Gaeta. Their line of march lay along that of the coast. Attacked in front with great spirit by the Piedmontese troops, and assailed on their right (according to the telegram from Naples) by the fleet, the Bourbon army dispersed, leaving in the hands of the victors tents, waggons, materiel, and a very large number of pri soners. The victory was so complete that General Sonnaz was able to advance to the very walls of Gaeta, and has taken up a position at Mola, which is only three miles from the fortress. This battle is to the army of the King of Naples what the battle of Castelfidardo was to that of the Pope. The Bourbon army retires to its last re fuge. The Bourbon King has doubtless troops enough to enable him to make a stout resistance 'in one of the strongest fortresses iii Europe; but with his changed prospects he can have no motive for prolonging the struggle. The Times says the union of Italy under one crown is now plainly an inevitable event. DESPATCHES. A gazetteLondoCnilESE extraordinary is published this morning. It contains two despatches, bdth dated August 24, addressed to the Secretary at War by Sir H o p e G r ant, commanding the forces in China, with despatches respectively addressed to him by Major-Generals Sir John Michael and Sir R. Napier. They relate to the operations of the army down to the taking of the China forts. The main facts correspond with the accounts already published in the Times. The breach made in the gate of the Tangku fort was effected by a couple of howitzers which were brought to within fifty yards of the gate. A space sufficient to admit one man had just been made when the storming party forced their way in the single file i n , a most gallant manner. The despatch says Lieut. Rogers, 44th Regiment, and Lieut. Bourslem, 67th Regiment, were the first to enter, when they assisted in the regimental colours of the 67th, carried by Ensign Chaplin, who first planted them on the breach, assisted by private Lane, 57th Regiment, and subsequently on the er,was the first to mount. At av a the i same moment the F renc h e ff ec t e d th e i r Clwhic h entrance, and the garrison was driven back step by step, and hurled pell-mell through the embrasures on the opposite side. The General Commanding-in-Chief thanks them for their valuable services—Major-General Sir R. Napier, Brigadier General Crofton, and Lieut.- Colonel Mann. He especially notices the gallant conduct of the storming party. It was com manded by Brigadier Reeves, who, himself severely wounded in three places, did not quit the field until he had conducted his men into the fort. The Commander-in-Chief adds—Many others, both officers and soldiers, behaved in a manner deserving of being mentioned, but want of time does not permit me to treat of it in this despatch, and on a future occasion I shall do my self the honour of bringing their names to your notice. Writing August 24th, he says :—There is not now the trace of an enemy near us, and the whole of the forts and entrenched camps are in .our hands, containing about 400 guns, many of which are of very large calibre. Sir Hope speaks highly of the conduct and . gallant co-operation of the French, and says the General de Montauban has always shown every disposition to act thoroughly in concert with me, and to co-operate in every means in his power. Sir R. Napier extols the Armstrong guns. He says they first opened at a range of 1,560 yards on the enemy. These were the first shots fired with that weapon in war, and the range and accuracy of their fire excited the admiration of the force. The Tartar horsemen were surprised by the fire. The Tartar troops are said by General Napier to have borne unflinchingly for a considerable time such a fire as would have tried any troops in the world. The inquiry into the Road murder was re-opened on Saturday. The remains of the Earl of Dundonald are to be buried at Westminster Abbey.. The Post says that Lord St. Leonard is in his usual health, and has had no attack of paralysis. A large four-story piano -forte factory and store-rooms, belonging to Chappel and Co., music publishers, Soho square, were destroyed by fire on Sunday. The factory contained 100 pianos. An explosion occurred during the fire which killed a woman and injured several persons. AMERICA. By the arrival of the Africa we have dates from New York down to the 24th. The Herald gives its usual elaborate and ornate account of the Prince's sayings, doings, and danc ings. There is, in particular, a long account of the ball given. to His Royal Highness at the Boston Academy of Music, with the names and description of the various young ladies with whom the Prince danced ; and a highly graphic account of the ball and supper rooms, and of the exact amount of the receipts from the tickets sold. The same paper recounts the particulars of an inter esting interview between the Prince and "the last survivor of the battle of Bunker's Hill," which took place on the following morning; which is followed by full particulars, dressed up in the same truly American style, of " the grand ball of the solid men and splendid women of Portland to the officers of the squadron," " the outburst in Portland," and " the sailing of the royal squadron and its final departure for England," on the 21st. The leave-taking of His Royal Highhess is thus described : Passing under a large arch on the hill back of the harbour, and walking down a lo n g fli g ht of steps to the point oiembarkation, the Prince, after quickly reviewing the troops, which were d rawn u p a l ong th e w h ar f, said, "I'm very cold—hurry," and moved towards the Hero's barge. The steps leading to the boat were covered with crimson cloth. Shaking hands with Lord Lyons, the British Consul, Governor Banks; Governor Good win, Mayor Lincoln, and Mayor Howard, to whom be said, " I am sorry my visit here has been so brief," he jumped into the barge. The following is the parag ra ph w hi c h c l oses th e concluding report of the Prince's visit. It is cer tainly not less characteristic in its way than. any of the previous efforts of the New York Reporter : The English valets said they were glad to go, and I pron ounced this a blasted country. n this case the proverb, "Like master, like man," does not hold true. At the Revere House the Prince behaved more boyishly than usual, made Eliot and Hinchenbrooke perfect butts, breaking the former's head, laughing at him for running against his partners at the balls, and adding " Right Honourable Captain" and " Lieutenant of Grenadier. Guards," with his own hand, to the card upon the room door of the latter. The placard is pre served as a curiosity. Barnum succeeded in getting the autographs of the Prince and party. COTTON. (From W. P. Wright's Circular.) NEW YORK, Wednesday, Oct. 24, 1860. During the past week we have had quite an excite ment in all the various cotton markets in the country, resulting in large sales and an advance in price of about sc per lb. The origin of the movement was apparently I the frosts which were experienced on the nights of the 13th, 14th, and 15th instant. The movement began in New Orleans, where purchases for English account were freely made under orders contingent on a frost prior to 20th October, and a crop of 4,000,000 bales, or less. All the other markets have acted in sympathy, but almost exclusively on• local speculation or shipment coastwise. Nothing of moment has been done on English account in Mobile, Savannah, or Charleston, while in this city the apparent business has been largely magnified by resales, in some cases three or four times over. In this market we have had an active demand from speculators, for holding on the spot and for shipment to Liverpool; spinners have also bought with confidence. Prices have advanced fully lc for middling grades ; the lower qualiti es o f l as t season 's crop sh ow a l arger ad vance, whil e on th e hi g h er qualities the imp rovemen t i s barely ic per lb. Yesterday, after receipt of the Southern telegrams, the market became quiet, and only a moderate business was done, with more disposition on the part of holders to realise at prices which they refused the day before. The sales for the week have amounted to 24,000 bales. The export for the week has been —to Liverpool, 4,842 bales; Hamburg, 351 total, 5,193 bales. Transit cotton has been in good demand, and large sales at gradually advancing pricet, have been made daily, since our last report. Purchases made a week or ten days ago have been re-sold at Ic to c. advance, while numerous other purchases made early last week have realised -le to lc profit on resale, at the close. As far as,we can ascertain, the business here is exclusively on American speculative account, based on the opinion that the incoming crop will prove insufficient for the wants of the world, at our present scale of prices. Quo tations can scarcely be given correctly. The following are near the mark : with freight, V, for New Orleans low middling, 11c ; middling, 1 lac to 11A„c ; strict middling, Hie to 12c. Mobile ic to -lc below these. No Uplands on the market. By telegraph we have particulars of a large movement in the various southern markets, at advanced prices. The New Orleans market has been most active, and the greatest improvement has taken place there ; the other port markets have also advanced, but in the absence of foreign orders there is less excitement. On Monday, 22nd in s t an t, th e exc it emen t seems to have passed in New Orleans, and in Mobile the market was dull, with small sales. LIST OF PASSENGERS PER ROYAL MAIL S.S. AFRICA. —Rev. B.

DEATH FROM BURNING.—On the 30th October, a woman named Mary Morris, 67 years of age, who resided in Spitalfields, was burnt so severely by her clothes catching fire, that she died yesterday from the effects of the injuries. ALIAMING ACCIDENT AT ST. MARY'S CHURCH, Ox.- PC/RD.—Oxford, Saturday.—The new w arming apparatus lately erected in this church was for the last time tried this afternoon, previously to being used at the services to-morrow. After the flues had been heated for a short time an explosion of a most alarming kind occurred, doing most extensive damage to the interior of the sacred edifice, and some of the workmen were much hurt. The seats and other woodwork were thoroughly smashed, the windows broken to shivers, and it is' feared that the organ is materially injured. The cause of this disastrous accident, which but for the merciful interference of Providence might have occurred during Divine service on the morning •of to-morrow, has not been correctly ascertained. The apparatus had been successfully worked during the week. IRISH WHISE.Y.---We have heard from a source on which we can rely that it is the intention of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, next session, to make 'a consi derable reduction in the price of Irish whisky. This was only to be exp ec t e d . Every tyro i n fi nan ce knows that the highe r th e d uty imposed on any article , so is the--lowering of con sumpt i on. Th e reven ue suffers a dead loss, instead of being increased, by the fallacy of exorbitant duties. This is particularly shown in the case of Ireland, after the latest experiment made on our principal manufacture. There was a loss of £30,000 on the last quarter's revenue in Dublin alone. Many distilleries in all parts of the country have been shut up, and thus remunerative employment taken from hundreds of families. The traders in towns feel their business gradually getting " small by degrees and beau tifully less." To add to the complication, illicit distilla tion was never carried on to such a pitch, north, south, and west. We are credibly informed that oats have been used for this purpose even before ripe in the fields, for a contraband trade. These are facts and considera tions which should induce the government, if they have not as yet arrived at any foregone conclusion, to change their fiscal tactics as regards the trade aild morals this country. —Galway Vindicator. of THE DAILY TIME TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1860. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. All the play-going public of Liverpool, and not a few who are not willing to be classed under that category, will be glad to learn that Mr. Barry Sullivan has accepted the offer of a re-engagement at this theatre for other twelve nights. Last night Mr. Sullivan appeared as Richard 111., which we look upon as de cidedly one of his best' characters. To-night he appears as Shylock in the " Merchant of Venice," and we anti cipate another bumper house. We again repeat that it is rarely, indeed, that an actor of the power and abilities of Mr. Barry Sullivan appears upon a Liverpool stage. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The monthly meeting of the Council was held yester day, W. 3. Tomlinson, Esq., president, in the chair. T4e report on the law as to the transfer and delivery of goods was deferred for consideration at a special meeting t 6 be called for the purpose.

CONGRESS OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION. The President reported having attended the Congress on behalf of the Chamber. The consideration of details was deferred. BANKRUPTCY COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner PERRY.) In re SAMUEL EASON.—This bankrupt, a coal mer chant in Liverpool, appeared yesterday on his last examination. Mr. Radcliffe, for the assignees, examined him relative to a settlement made on his wife, also as to certain moneys paid after the bankruptcy for the expenses of a petition for arrangement upon which he had been declared bankrupt. Mr. Sandys, for the bank rupt, re-examined him in explanation, and afterwards applied that he might pass. No creditor opposing, he was allowed to pass, and the 26th of November was appointed for his certificate. In re WILLIAM M. Towxsoisr.—This bankrupt, a publican in Christian-street, also appeared on his last examination, and was supported by Mr. Evans. Mr. Bartlett, for the assignees, examined the bankrupt with reference to a debt due to a creditor which be appeared to have placed in his balance-sheet for too large a sum. He was afterwards allowed to amend his account and pass his examination. The certificate sitting was ap pointed for the 26th November. In re ISAAC J. BARKETT. — This bankrupt, formerly proprietor of the London Restaurant in Clayton-square, came up on application for his certificate. Mr. Saudys, on behalf of the assignees, had no opposition to offer.

The Rev. Charles Kingsley preached the sermon. 7: - It is expected that her Majesty and the Court will leave Windsor Castle about the 12th inst. for Osborne, and that the Queen will remain at the Marine Palace for about a month.—Court .Tournal. A NEW ORDER OF KNIGHTHOOD.—We believe we are justified in announcing that an important addition to the prerogatives of the Crown will shortly be made by the institution of a new order of knighthood by her Majesty as Queen of the Indies. That this exercise of the Royal prerogatiie will be received with the greatest satisfaction by all classes of her Majesty's subjects there can be no doubt. England has its Garter, Scotland its St. Andrew, Ireland its St. Patrick, even the lonian Islands its St. Michael and St. George, and 'the magnificent empire of India will now have under the sovereignty of the Queen its Eastern order, with some appropriate Indian attribute. We are not aware that all the rules and institutes of the order are complete; but we believe they will be so framed that the native. Indian subjects of her Majesty and her European subjects serving in that empire will be united in one common bond, as knights of the same order. The institution of au order of chivalry with such an object will have a most beneficial, political, and social effect. It will also tend to check t he accumulati on of Indian medals in our military service, which were in consequence losing something of their importance. Sir Charles Wood, Secretary of State for India, it is under stood, received her Majesty's final commands on this subject during his recent visit to Windsor Castle. Court urt Journal. LIBERALITY OF THE RETIRING MAYOR.—We are glad to hear that our worthy Mayor, who has gained for himself the universal esteem of all parties during his mayoralty, has, on the eve of his retirement, hand somely contributed the sum'of £lOO to the funds of the Northern Hospital, a chsxity which, at the present time, stands in so much need of public support. COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT.—At the County Police Court yesterday, before Messrs. Bourne and Brocklebank, presiding magistrates, a dock labourer, named William Cheetham, was brought up in custody, charged with stealing a valuable golden pheasant, the property of Henry Hough, of Bootle. The prosecutor failed to identify the stolen fowl, and the prisoner was discharged with a reprimand. THE IRISH BRIGADE IN DUBLIN.—About three hundred members of the brigade arrived in Dublin on Friday night by special train from Cork. At the Kingsbridge terminus they were addressed in con gratulatory terms by the Rev. Canon Pope, who was in attendance to receive them on the part of the central committee in Dublin. They afterwards dispersed in groups of tens and twenties to the various Lodging= houses and taverns in the neighbourhood. Yesterday numbers of them paraded the principal streets, with green leaves in their caps, and followed by crowds_ " gents" and boys, who cheered them enthusiastically. Some of them wore medals on their breasts, and their costume was of the most medley and nondescript character. Several of them attended mass at the Roman Catholic Church, Marlborough-street, where a sermon was preached by Dr. Cullen. ExcURSION.—The well known bootmakers in William son-square, Messrs. Blakey, Yesterday gave their work people, a treat, in celebration of St. Crispin, at the Abbey Hotel, Broad-green. After football, bowls, and other games,.the men sat down to a most substantial dinner, which was served up by Mr. Childs, the pro prietor, in his best style. The party were conveyed to the place of meeting in one of Mr. Dilworth's omnibuses, drawn by four horses, and a band of music accom panying them. The weather being unusually favourable for the season, the men enjoyed themselves in no common degree. It was, we understand, the 9th anniversary of the copartnery of Messrs. Blakey. ART A LA. JAPANESE.—Mrs. Pattison teaches a new and much improved system of drawing and painting from nature as taught in London and Paris,—a most delightful and easily -acquired accomplishment, especially for ladies. Drawing and painting from nature taught in six lessons. These accomplishments, formerly so difficult in acquirement, and demanding more time than persons generally could bestow on them, are, by the present system, rendered so easy in a short time, as to excite the surprise and pleasure of the pupil. Birds, animals, flowers, &e., either from nature or drawings, are painted in the most beautiful and accurate style in six lessons; and so simple and easily remembered is the Japanese system, that the learner who has once gone through the course is able ever afterwards to paint with ease, rapidity, and pleasure. Nothing is more delightful than to see a beautiful painting start as it were by magic, after half an hour's easy labour, to grace lady's portfolio or drawing-room ; this style is applicable to painting on silk, satin, damask, wood, &c. ; and even young ladies of twelve or fourteen years may accomplish this. ALARMING FIRE. . . . Yesterday afternoon, about foui o'clock; an alarming fire broke out in Strand-street, opposite We Canning Dock. The ground floor was occupied by Messrs. Pryde and Co., sail-makers and ship-chandleri; the floor above by Messrs. Ellis and Co. and Mr. Bedell, as a store for patent felt and Portland cement ; the cellar by Messrs. Davis and Jones, blockmakers and shipsmiths ; while the upper rooms were used for storing merchandise, and as sailrooms. The fire was first seen in the back part of Messrs. Pryde and Co.'s store, on the groundfloor, where there stood a number of oil cisterns and casks contain ing like inflammable articles, and almost immediately the warehouse was filled with dense smoke, and in a few seconds broke out into a fierce flame, which communicated so quickly with Messrs. Ellis and Co.'s felt warehouse above that it was only just possible to save some of the books and papers and escape into the street. A gentleman, having the appearance of a clergyman, who happened to be in the warehouse selecting some hair felt to protect his hot house plants from the effects of the frost, had only just time to grope his way down stairs, through the dense smoke, into the street, before the flames burst out with irresistible fury. Great fears were, at first entertained for the safety of the sailmakers who were at work in the top rooms, but as none of them appeared at the windows it is presumed they escaped unseen through the volumes of sraoke. The fire reels were quickly on the spot, but there was some delay , in procuring water; but for this unfortunate circumstance the fire would probably have been confined to the room in which it is supposed to have originated. In the meantime the fire had communicated with the patent felt warehouse, which afforded abundance of combustible material, and for a lotg' time baffled the efforts of the fire brigade, and was not subdued before it had extended to:the floors above, and shot up the stair case with such fearful rapidity that the destruction of the whole building seemed inevitable. The loss, which is mostly covered by insurance, will chiefly fall upon the Queen and the Royal, the latter being for only a small amount. FIRE AND MELANCHOLY LOSS OF LIFE. Last night a fire was discovered in a small house, in No. 2 Court, Ashton-street, Park. As soon as the alarm was given, Mr. Josoph Pr ;' nrr. con, with other gentlemen, went to render assistance ; and upon the flames being extinguished, a most melancholy and fright ful sight met their view—namely, the body of an aged female, burned almost to a cinder and quite dead. The deceased, whose name was Penelope Horabin, was in the 90th year of her age, and had lived on parochial allowance for some years, with her son and daughter. When the fire was discovered, it subsequently appeared that the deceased was alone in the house, her daughter and son being at an adjoining public-house in a state of intoxication. Row the premises caught fire is not known ; but it is presumed that the clothes of the deceased caught fire, and, from her age and debility, she was unable to raise an alarm. Every article of furniture in the room was totally consumed. An inquest on the body will be held this day, when no doubt a strict investigation will be instituted. The remains of the deceased were con veyed to the dead-house. VERY SERIOUS FIRE AT BIRKENHEAD LAST NIGHT. Last evening, about twenty minutes after six o'clock, a fire broke out in the workshop belonging to Mr. John Morris, builder, joiner, and timber merchant, Oliver street, Birkenhead. The workmen had only just left when flames were seen to issue from the premises. The rattles were immediately sounded, and a policeman residing close to conveyed word to the Police-station. The engines and reels were at once taken to the scene of the conflagration, and a plentiful supply of water per mitted the police and fire-brigade, who mustered strongly under the command of their superior officers, the super intendent, and inspectors, to play upon the flames efficiently. Every effort, however, to stop its progress proved unavailing.; in less than twenty minutes the whole of the premises was in one brilliant blaze, which illuminated the whole neighbourhood. An immense crowd gathered together and help was tendered to the fire-brigade willingly. Attempts were made to rescue some of the tools belong ing to the joiners, and some of the police distinguished themselves creditably thereby, although we regret to add their efforts were not crowned with the slightest success. Four branches were got into play. The water, of which there was a capital possure, was obtained from the stand pipe in Oliver-street. The fire extended to a painter's room under the workshop, hut the damage done to that is, we understand, comparatively trifling. The origin of the fire is not known. There was a steam engine on the premises, but from what we could learn the fires attached thereto could not have originated the conflagration. The general idea is that a spark fell from the pipe of one of the workmen. The damage is very great. The value of the joiner's tools is said to have amounted to above £lOO. One man alone owned about £2O worth. The shop was thoroughly gutted. It was rumoured that the premises and the stock were insured to the full extent a few weeks since. Commissioners Walker (chairman), Gough, Peck, and Evans, were on the .spot during the evening. The fire was out by about half-past ten o'clock. THE POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY. The monthly meeting of this society was held last night, at the Royal Institution; and it was attended by a large number of members. After the transaction of the ordinary private business, the public business com menced, by a description of Milner's quadruple patent strong holdfast and fire-resisting bankers' treasure-room , for the Bank of Mauritius, 19 feet deep backwards, 13 feet wide, 10 feet high, and 35 tons weight. Mr. Mil ner, by mans of a diagram, described his manufacture to the complete satisfaction of the meeting, and kindly invited any member that would feel so disposed to pay a. visit to his works, when he should show the safe. A vote of thanks to Mr. Milner was passed. unani mously. The adjourned discussion on Mr. M'Ardle's model of high level approach to landing-stages, was resumed. Mr. Hignett explained the subject, and also described Mr. M'Ardle's new paddle-wheel. Several members took part in the discussion, which was a very animated and interesting one. The advantages of the proposed Landing-stage approach were pointed out by Mr. Hignett, who assured the meeting that the adoption of his plan would not involve any considerable expense, and would confer immeasurable advantages on persons whose business would call them to make frequent use of the Landing-stage. The inventor of the new paddle wheel stated that it was intended to have it applied more to canal than sea-going or Mersey traffic. It pos sessed one great advantage over the common screw steamers, inasmuch as the back water had no effect on it, and it obviated all the difficulties that screw-steamers had to encounter in passing on canals. Mr. M'Ardle observed that he had tested his invention on the Shan non, in Ireland, and complete success attended the experiment.—Mr. G. B. Galloway explained his new mode of propelling ships by means of compressed air, and also his improvements in lifeboats and ships' boats, illustrated by models. The object of the invention was to supply a general power to merchant ships, which he expected to effect by means of compressed air, worked by engine power ; and be pointed out that up to the present time they had no perfect paddle or screw propellor, and felt confident that his suggeition would supply this great desideratum, so long and so much felt by persons whose avocations are connected with a seafaring life. Mr. W. T. Tongue exhibited a testing apparatus, showing the practical use of Clibran's patent gas regulator. The several speakers were listened to with great attention, and the models ,and drawings which they exhibited of their inventions or improvements'in the various branches of mechanical science were examined with care and minuteness. The satisfaction of the audience was frequently expresso in loud and continued bursts of applause. WORKS or ART.—As will be seen by advertisement, which appears in another column, a very fine collection of proof engravings, modern oil paintings, &c. , are on inspection, previously to being sold to-morrow, at the gallery of Messrs. Walker and Ackerley, Church-street. The catalogue comprises about 300 lots, and embraces many rare and .costly specimens of modern art.

The memorial ists desire that the rails should be raised for three reasons-Ist, because it offers peculiar advantages to the inhabitants to visit Liverpool for marketing pur poses; 2ndly, because the rails have caused numerous accidents to vehicles; and lastly, b e cause the railway is worked on Sundays. WINSLOW AND MS LANDLORD. —Mr. S. K. Blair, the judge of the County Court, delivered j udgment, yesterday, in the case Walker v. Winslow Walker owns the house in which iWinslow lives, who was acquitted at the list assizes on the charge of murdering Ann James. It appears that the defendant had assumed a right to the property as yearly tenant, whilst he paid weekly rental. For some reason or other his landlord became dissatisfied, and gave Winslow notice to quit. He refused to leave, hence the application for ejectment to the County Court. His Honour ordered the premises to be given up by Winslow, and taken possession of by Walker in one month. THE FIFTH OF NOvEmio.n.—The celebrations usually attendant upon the anniversary of this day have appa rently died away. yesterday the only demonstration that was made was by children letting off fireworks, much to the annoyance of the general public, and to their own personal danger. In some instances the police interfered; but the young urchins were too nimble, and thus escaped the perils of the law. In the evening a number of the members of several Orange lodges hell a tea meeting at the Teutonic Hall, Lime-street, and spent an agreeable evening. Several addresses from the brethren were given; but the demonstration assumed more the shape of a private reunion than a public dis- L play. Our reporter attended; but as he had not been supplied with a ticket, his admission was objected to. LANCASHIRE- RIFLE CONTEST. Yesterday. was the closing da/ of thiqieat contest, and.the weather proved no more favonfalaiethan on the preceding . days. If the sun shone brilliantly, MA the atmosphere, wfs clear, th e goo d effect which these i n fl u ences won d have had u p on t h e s h oot i ng was a l mos t heavyacross thewindwas blew ;lparticularly unfortunate that the shooting hae to be extended into the present week, as many " crack shots''' . were unable to prolong their leave of absence. Taking ell the circumstances; however, into consideration, the shoott ing at the long ranges cannot but be pronounced to be far above mediocrity. Had it not been for the obstinacy with which the wind blew, we have no doubt whatever that we would have been able to present a much better score than the one appended. For the second prize there were three ties—Dunbar, Viscount Fielding, and Colquhoun ; and it is a curious fact that each of these gentlemen used Whitworth Rifles, and were trained in the School of Musketry at Hythe. The gentleman who made the highest score and won the first prize, was Lieutenant Ick. Liverpool Cotton Brokers' Prize. A Purse, value £5O, pre sented by the Cotton Brokers of Liverpool.

On Sunday morn ing, the, prisoner and another man, were fighting in Whiteehapel, when the inspector came tip and separated them, and requested them to go away, whereon the prisoner struck the other man in the fate, and the inspector said if he did not go away, he would lock him up ; and ,on this, the prisoner turned on him, gave him two blows on the eye and blackened it. In reply to Mr. Raffles, the inspector said he was in uniform, and the prisoner saw it, as he cautioned him to go away. The prisoner said he did not know who he had struck. He was fined £1 and costs, or a month's imprisonment. ASSAULTING A BAILIFF. Thomas Lloyd, a County Court bailiff, charged a labourer, named William Bowes, for having assaulted him. It appeared that on Saturday evening, the com plainant had a County Court warrant to arrest the prisoner, for a debt due to one' of those traders known as " Scotchmen." In company with one of the "Scotch men," he went to the Landing-sta r e, where he met the prisoner coming from his work in Cheshire. He told the prisoner he was 4 ‘ wanted," when he denied that he was the man, but the " Scotehman" settled the question, by fully identifying him.. The prisoner then said he would get some money from a friend of his, a Mr. Carroll, a publican in Mill-street, if the officer would go with him to the house. He did so, when the prisoner took a purse from his pocket, and handed it to Carroll, saying, "take what I owe you out of this, and give the rest to my wife, as these have a claim against me." He then rushedinto the yard where he was followed, but he drew a knife and swore he would stab him. Carroll assisted the prisoner to get away, but he was subsequently arrested, not before he cut the bailiff in the head with some sharp instrument. Mr. Raffles told the bailiff to report the conduct of Carroll to the judge of the County Court, and let the judge deal with it as he might think fit. His Worship fined the prisoner £2 for the assault, or two months' im prisonment ASSAULTING THE POLICE. John Walsh, Margaret Connor, and William Cahill were charged with assaulting police-officer Hill, No. 85, in Wright-street, Scotland-road, on the night of the 28th of October. Mr. Cobb appeared for Walsh. The case was up before, 'and the details were • published in this paper two or three days ago. On the night in question there was a great row in Wright-street, when Hill and some other officers went to quiet it. They were attacked by a large crowd of people and very roughly handled, Hill being knocked down, and kicked in the head, and it was proved that the two men had so ill-treated him. The woman took his staff, and rescued one of the prisoners. Surgeon Sheppard said the officer had been much injured, but he was now getting on well, and out of daunt Mr. Cobb offered to call witnesses for Walsh, but his Worship said he had better reserve them for the trial, as he would send the men for trial, which he - did. He fined the woman £l, or one month's imprisonment. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—ESCAPE OF THE PRISONER. A curious case of the escape of a prisoner, took place yesterday at the police-court. The facts were these : A person named David Morrison Clarke, a clerk in the employment of Messrs. Frederick Came and Co., ware housemen, Exchange-alley North, was given into custody on , a charge of having embezzled certain sums of money belonging to his employers. When the case was called on, it was discovered that the prisoner had escaped. The prisoner had been locked up in bridewell by detec tive-officer Graham, and it appeared that Mr. Jones, one of the bridewell-keepers, when the prisoner was wanted in court, called police-officer 850, who happened to be present, and gave the prisoner to him, telling him to take. him to the court. The " brilliant" 850 did take him to the court, but only to the door, where he left him to find his way before the magistrate to answer the charge. The accused, however, having an antipathy to measures compulsory, did not remain long at the dOor, but where he went to is altogether another affair. When he was missed, there was much consternation in the court and the premises thereunto adjoining. Police man 850 was sent for, when Mr. Kehoe, in accents wild, asked him where was his prisoner ? • Officer—l don't know. Were you not told by Mr. Jones to bring him to the court? Yes, and so I did. Mr. Kehoe—Where to ? To the door, What did you do with him then ? Left him there ! Mr. Kehoe—How long are you in the police? Two months. Mr. Kehoe (to another officer)—Take him at once before the head constable. A dozen constables were at once sent in search of the lucky individual who had fallen into the hands of the verdant 850. AN UNNATURAL MOTHER.—Yesterday, the body of a new-born child was found amongst some goods in the George's Dock shed. Police-constable 629 at once conveyed the body to the dead-house. GREAT FIRE AT 11031 BURG.—A Frankfort letter of the 30th ult., says :—" This afternoon, at half-past two, a' fire broke out at Homburg in the large dining-room of - the bathing establishment, just as the tables were laid for the wedding dinner of the director of the bank. The fire spread with such rapidity that this handsome hall, the decorations of which alone cost 100,000 f. Was entirely destroyed, as was also the theatre adjoining, where a French company were tolhave begun their per formances the next day. The other portions of the building were saved. The fire is supposed to have been caused while trying the gas-pipes of the theatre." SALE OF BLOOD HORSES IN EGYPT.—The following catalogue of horses, which are to be sold at the Palace of Abassia, near Cairo, has been sent to the Government by Mr. Col9uhoun, her Majesty's Consul-General in Egypt, as being of importance to . all breeders of blood horses in England :---" Catalogue of horses of known high breeding i n th e stu d of his late Highness Elhamy Paella, remaining from the stud orthe late Viceroy Abbas Pacha : 33 stallions (one of these was bought of Colonel Blood for £1,000) ; 137 mares, of Arabian and Syrian stock; 51 colts (entire) and 59 fillies (produce of the above) ; 2 mares, highest Egyptian breed ; 52 stallions, ditto. The above will be sold by public auction at the Palace of Abassia, near Cairo, on Monday, the IQtli December, 1860 ; and the sale will be con tinued on two 'days of each week till the whole stock be disposed of.—By order of the official...trustee, Edhem Pacha.—Alexandria, Oct. 11, 1860." AUSTRALIAN TESTIMONLAL TO SHAKESPEARE.—It is proposed to erect a testimonial to Shakespeare on the approaching tercentenary of his birth. The proposition has since met with great favour, and a number of sub scriptions have been obtained for the desired object. At a meeting of the Shakespeare Testimonial Committee, held at Melbourne, it was resolved that three gentlemen IA appointed in London, to act as a " Committee of Taste" in the se l ec ti on of a design' for the intended statue—such c omm itt ee t o cons i s t of Messrs. Carlyle and Ruskin, and Sir Charles Eastlake ; and that both colonial and English artists shall. contribute designs, the above com m itt ee h av i ng t h e power t o se lect the most meritorious. The selection of the committee does infi nite credit to the discernment of the patriotic admirers of our national poet. Only fancy Sir Charles Eastlake in consultation with Mr. Ruskin and Mr. Carlyle to assist them in arriving at an harmonious judgment as _ e a "committee of taste !"'We believe the proposal is made with the utmost gravity, but it certainly looks more like a jeu d'esp r it fro m th e M e lb ourn e Tunch.—.Aus t r and New Zealand Gazette.

From Shanghai we receive the following account of the approach and repulse of the Tae-ping insurgents : " Sunday morning broke on a scene of conflagration and destruction.. During the night the enemy had advanced in large numbers to the water suburbs, firing a few gin gals at the south gate en• passflit. A large number, concealed themselves in the ruing both at the south and west gates during the morning, but for some two or three hours, during which time the Rev. J. Hobson read his usual service, no firing was kept up. The insurgents had, however, worked: their way round ant oSt: to the French quarter, and had planted some flags on the temple of the Queen of Heaven. Our gallant allies set to work in a manner peculiar to themselves to drive away the danger, and to prevent its recurrence fired the subur, Which is by far the richest and most important collection of native houses. It is here that the Chinese wholesale merehants live; an immense quantity of-goods, especially sugar, was stored there, and as the conflagration in its rapid progress licked up a sugar hong or soy factory, the flames sprang up with fearful grandeur. About two o'clock the Kestrel and Hong-Kong came steaming down against a strong tide, past the burning suburb, with the news that the rebels had evacuated Sungkiang, and could not be heard of near there. Twelve conflagrations that were burning round the city told them that they would not have to go far for them now. The firing, too, had recommenced at the south gates from double-shotted guns and howitzers. Driven from their cover by these means, and compelled to take up a new position, the enemy laid himself open to some fine rifle practice. Macintyre's guns were too well handled to let them hide in any of the buildings yet standing, and Lieutenant O'Grady, with some marines, opened a most destructive fire from the "look out." This gallant officer is really an excellent shot ; the braves at Canton have some cause to remember him, and we believe it is reckoned that in this affair twenty men fell to his rifle with scarcely one intervening miss. The immense range of the Enfield bothered the enemy terribly, and they soon became anxious to get beyond it. On Sunday night they were quiet enough, and it was a very striking sight to see their camp fires dotting for an immense distance the country on the south-west, while on the east the fire raised by the French was burning with great brilliancy, leading the foreigners to believe from the noise made by the falling houses that the musketry had recommenced. On Monday morning, the 20th August, the enemy had advanced in greater strength than ever. It was really a curious sight to see them moving along every one of the little paths which run parallel to the city walls, each man carrying a flag, and all moving in Indian file, but in excellent order, and quite calm and steady. On they came, without hesitation, perfectly within range, and seamed to direct their attention princi pally to the west gate. Lieutenant O'Grady had been sent there with some marines to assist Captain Cava nagh, and the Madras artillerymen having rigged up a Chinese gun, a heavy fire was kept up, and the insur gents have to thank the nature of the ground that their loss was not very large. Strange to say, scarcely a shot was returned, and the Imperialist soldiers, after firing a couple of times, got up on the battlements of the wall, hung their legs over, and smoked away without any apparent fear, although the foe was lurking among the graves and rushes below. The cracking of the rifles seemed to have had no effect in changing the line of march of the insurgents, who now seemed to threaten the English settlement in great numbers. They actually planted some flags within a couple of hundred yards of the Race-course Stand, but were met with a shell or two from a gun commanded by Lieutenant Williams. Lieutenant Crease fired a couple of rockets at them too, so that they gradually retired. During the night the dispatch boat Pioneeer had proceeded up the river, and began dropping 13-inch shells in among the rebel flags. One of these exploded right in the centre of about 100 red banners, which immediately afterwards disappeared. About one o'clock the dispatch boat Nimrod threw a shell clean over the settlement away out into the fields an astonishing distance. This practice was kept up slowly for about two hours, when the insurgents retreated out of range. The Pioneer continued firing until the evening had far advanced, but the enemy had had enough of it, and retreated so far out towards Zee-ka-wei that they were out of all pos sible danger. On Tuesday but very little work took place, as the rebels had retreated quite out of range, and, with the exception of one or two small bodies, none were seen near enough to fire at. The conflagration raised by the French in the water suburb was still raging, and it was melancholy to see hong after hong full of valuable goods falling a prey to the devouring element. But nothing could possibly be done to stop it, as the houses are constructed of the most inflammable materials, and crowded together as thick as possible. On Wednesday Mr. Forrest volunteered to take to the insurgents the despatches that had been sent to Sunglliang in the Kestrel and Hong-Kong. His offer was accepted, and every aid afforded him for effecting what seemed to all a sufficiently daring ride. Accompanied by a single soldier named Phillips, who had a white napkin attached to his bayonet, Mr. Forrest rode out of the south gate, skirted the city wall to the south-west angle, and then rode for the bridge IThich crosses the Zee-ka-wei canal. A good system of sig,nals had been arranged with the west gate, one dip of th 6 flag on the bayonet meaning all right, and three dips all wron• Finding no one at the bridge, it was determined proceed to the rebel camp, which was about a mile ahead. On nearing the flags, a man was observed on the roof of a house, and on being hailed by Mr. Forrest, descended, and by the appearance of many soldiers run ning to the camp, evidently gave the alarm. The two foreigners thereupon rode through the first lot of flags up to the gate of the camp, and were met by several soldiers, almost all having European arms in their possession. On the request being made that some officer should be sent for, a mass of about 200 rebels came down, bearing a huge white flag, in the centre of which was painted the "pa kua," and a fine daring-looking man, dressed in purple silk, then pre sented himself as an officer. After the usual civilities the officer complained of the resistance thg the foreigners had offered to them, asserting at the same time that the insurgents had been invited to Shanghai by foreigners of all nations. Mr. Forrest was pressed to proceed to Kee-ka-wai and see the Chung-wang, but declining the request, that gentleman delivered his despatches and made his way back to the city wall, making the signal that all was well. About twenty corpses were passed on the path alone by the tainted atmosphere the locality of many more was designated where they could not be seen, and the loss of the insurgents, taking what was seen on this ride as evidence, could not have been incon siderable. ADDITIONAL RAILWAY ACCOMMODATION FOR LIVER. rooz.—We undetstand that the inhabitants of the district of Toxteth-park will speedily have additional railway accommodation for the transit of their goods, as a very extensive railway company have agreed to erect a new station in Parliament-street, and that to this pro ject not the slightest opposition will be made. This will give great facilities to that end of the town, and has long been much Tequired.

THEATRICAL LIFE IN ROME.—The prima donna is the good mother of a family ; her s ix ch i l dren have p aid their mamma the delicate attention of not spoiling her voice. Her husband is a baritone or, perhaps, a broken down gentleman whom she supports. Do not fear that she will be unfaithful to him ; she has too much to do. The performances, the rehearsals, the children, the pot au feu, absorb all her time. * * Her hnsband is to her a necessary piece of furniture; he takes I,:er to the theatre and home again, he signs agreements, ho leads the little boys to school, he buys provisions in the market.—About. GALLANT EXPLOIT OF A NAVAL OFFICER.—AB her Majesty's ship Exmouth lay off Canea, Crete, on the 24th of September, a sailor, who bad been up the rig gin, lost his hold and fell into the sea, a depth of thirty feet ; one or two sailors jumped in after him, but their efforts were without effect : he sank to the bottom. At this moment Lieut. G. L. Sulivan came up and jumped overboard, and it was thought that he, too, had sunk to rise no more; but after two minutes of breathless sus pense he reappeared, much exhausted, but with the mail he had so bravely risked his life to save; and it is satis factory to know that both have now recovered from the effects of their long immersion. ,lieutenant Sulivan was complimented and congratulated by Captain Payn ter for his gallant deed, while the ship's company came forward with the noble-heartedness of true British tars grateful for the safety of their comrade, and expressed their desire to offer Lieutenant Sulivan a lasting testi monial of their esteem, and the sum of from £BO to £9O was at once handsomely subscribed by them ; but their kindness was respectfully declined by Lieutenant Suli van, who expressed himself sufficiently rewarded by saving life. In 1852 the same officer received the Humane Society's silver medal for rescuing a man front drowning, who had fallen off her Majesty's ship Megnra, when the ship was going at more than six knots an hour. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.—FemaIe complaints. On the mothers of England devolves much and serious re sponsibility in securing to their daughters robust health; frequently, alas I thoughtlessly sacrificed by culpable bashful— ness at a particular period of life when all-important changes take place in the female constitution, and upon the proper management of which hangs future happiness or misery. Neglect in assisting nature has consigned thousands of Eng— land's lovely daughters to despondency, disease, and premature death. Holloway's Pills, especially if aided with the Ointment, have the happiest effects iii establishing those functions upon the due performance of which our social position depends, and our race may be saved from degeneration. Mothers and daughters may safely use these powerful deobstruent remedies without feeing the faculty. The misery, the disappointment, the interminable expense of ", physic-taking," are now happily suspended by the use of Die Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, which, by a pleasing and natural action on the system, removes chronic and exhausting diseases, and replaces languor and pain by vigour and health, The following are not the least remarkable.
