VISIT OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION TO LIVE RPOOL.-MEETING IN THE TOWN-HALL, YESTERDAY. Yesterday, upwards of seventy gentlemen, specially sum moned by his Worship the Mayor met in the Town-hall, at two o'clock, for the purpose of making such arrangements as would ensure a suitable reception to the British Associa tion, on the occasion of their visit to this town in the ensuing year. The MAYOR (S. H6lrne, Esq.,) presided. Among the gentlemen present were—R. V. Yates, T. B. Horsfall, M.P., J. P. Homer, John Stewart, George Holt, John Grantham, Hugh Ilornby, Dr. Raffles, Dr. Inman, Adam Hodson, Joseph Pollock, (Judge, County Court), Thornley, M.P. , Wolverhampton, E. Arnaud, Collector of Customs, Rev. Rector Campbell, John Birch Lloyd, T.C., P. A. Tenney, J. A. Picton, Dr. Dickinson, Dr. Thompson, &c., &c. The CiIAIRSLIN, in opening the proceedings, said : Gen tlemen, the British Association having accepted the invita tion which has been sent to them, to hold their next annual session in this town, at the request of a number of gentlemen, issued circulars to some two hundred gentlemen in Liverpool, requesting them to. do me the honour of being present this day. Amongst others whom I wrote to were Lord Stanley and Lord Sefton. Lord Stanley wrote me a note to say that he would be exceedingly happy to be pre sent to-day, but this morning I received from him a com munication, apologizing for his inability to attend. The chairman then read letters of apology from Lord Stanley, Lord Sefton, Mr. Henry Booth, Dr. Musp r att, an d M r . J. P. G. Smith, expressive of their concurrence in the object of the meeting, but stating their inability to attend through pressure of private business. The chairman then proceeded: The object, I apprehend, of the present meeting will be to make preparations to give a suitable reception to the British Association when they come to Liverpool, by the formation of committees for that purpose. The object of the Associa tion itself is very simply set forth in the report of their last meeting. The Association contemplates no interference with the ground occupied by other associations. Its object is to give a stronger impulse, a more systematic direction to scien tific enquiry to promote the intercourse of those who culti vate science in different parts of the British Empire with one another, and with foreign philosophers—to obtain a more general attention to the objects of science, and to remove any disadvantages of a public kind which impede its progress. Looking at the importance of Liverpool, its geographical position, and the means which it possesses of providing a magnificent edifice for such an assembly as will doubtless - visit us at the forthcoming union of science and art, I rejoice that they will be blended with commerce, and I think that it augurs well for our having assembled in Liverpool so brilliant a meeting. It will not be the least gratifying portion of the visit of the Association to Liverpool that it will be presided over by the Earl of Harrowby, the present President of the association—(cheers)—one whose long and intimate cornice tion and association with Liverpool needs no remark from me. It is needless now to speak of the advantages which accrue from the :scientific intelligence of the age meet ing together to compare mind with mind, and discovery with discovery. Other nations are running the race with us in navigation, in commerce, and in manufactures. To keep our supremacy, we must continue to lead and combine the science of mechanics with the arts in every step we take —with every ship we build—with every locomotive which we fabricate—with every blade of cutlery which we manufac ture, and with every web of cloth which we weave, it is re quisite that we should pursue scientific investigation, and that it should be resolved into practical results. I remember a lady, the wife of a clergyman, sometime ago, when beauti ful scenery was pointed out to her 'by another, said " I much admire the magnificence of yourimountains, and the beauty of those vales, but I always look with greater pleasure on a wheat field, because you and I having large families have our attention more immediately directed to the subject of bread." And so . I may say some may pursue science from curiosity, but with Great Britain science must be combined with practical results, because the question of bread to our population, is intimately connected with it. I will not detain you by further obser vations of mine, because there are gentlemen present who are prepared with resolutions which they will submit for your acceptance, and you will probably adopt them, or others to the same effect, for the purpose of providing that machinery which will be requisite to give to the Association when it comes here, the suitable advantages which it requires; and I have no doubt that it will be in such a way as will do credit to the taste, intelligence, and the spirit of this great community. (Applause.) The Rev. Rector CA3IPBELL proposed the first resolution, which was to the effect that the gentlemen present form them selves into a committee, with power to add to their numbers, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements for the suitable reception of the Association, and that Dr. In man be requested to act as secretary. The Rev. gentleman said, in moving the resolution,that he had a very bad cold, and should therefore be excused for making a short speech on the occasion. He did not think, however, that the resolu tion called for a long speech under any circumbmnees, for it would sufficiently present itself in the form in which it was zed to the acceptance of the meeting. The promotion —fence tended most materially to the promotion of com merce, manufacture, and agriculture, and he was not the least afraid of its operation in connection with religion. He was satisfied that the advancement of science properly pur sued, would advance the inte res t o f t rue religion. (Hear.) The science of geology, /or instance, of which some divines hqd heon ay.ndAillp nfraid_ has not tAnfind pua siole degree to weaken the evidence of their most hol faith. Geology properly understood would mate- - * advance them, and having a tendency to make better acquainted with the -*eat Creat would lead tb.-- tion as *-- led to t works of th iate his mercy i divines, to accompany the men 'of science into the fiefs of science, and they trusted that the latter would accompany them into the temple of God, and listen to the still voice of revelation, and learn from it the knowledge of the moral attnbutes of God, which they could not earn from the progress of their scientific discoveries. (Applause.) Mr. JOHN BUCK LLOYD seconded the resolution. He said that as this was the age of progress ' 'not so much as rega r d e d commerce, but also science and art, he was sure the town of Liverpool would receive the Association not only in a manner suitable to the character and position of the eminent men who composed it, but in a manner conformable with its own proverbial hospitality ; and that the local committees would be so appointed as to give satisfaction to all who would take part in the proceedings. (Hear, hear). The resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. Joseph V. YATES said—Mr. Mayor, it is now 16 years since the British Association have wet in this place, and I can assure you that it has bceu a matter of regret with seve ral of its members that they have not been able to hold their meeting in Liverpool at an earlier period. But from hav ing attended myself at almost all their meetings, I can say with truth that there have been almost as great contentions for the honor of meeting in this town or in that town, as there were in ancient times among the seven cities, concern ing the birth of Homer. Upon the occasion of several late meetings, various important places have put in their 0 and although some of us attended year after year for the pur pose of enforcing the claims of Liverpool, we had not been able to succeed for the reasons I have already stated, until the last meeting which took place last September, Finding ourselves successful, we rejoiced to find that we met with the most cordial congratulations from every member of the Bristish Association, and they all expressed the senti ment, that they were highly delighted with the con templation of a meeting here. You yourself, sir, have very well laid open the advantages which generally arise to the cause of science by the meetings of the British Association for the advancement of science, and I need scarcely add to what you have stated upon the subject, and what my friend, the rector, has said to the same effect. I need scarcely add anything regarding the great advantages which will in par ticular be obtained by the town of Liverpool. Sir, we have now arrived at a distinction among the great seaports of the world. We have arrived at the summit. (Hear, hear). We are now the principal seaport in the world, and I should be glad that we should also run the same race in the cause of science, with that in which we have been already successful in commerce and in trade. (Hear, hear). I have not the least doubt, sir, that the holdi ng o f the meeting in Liverpool will go very largely towards the production of such an effect as I have described, and that we shall have a number of men arising in this place, who will render themselves eminent after a while in the cause of science. (Hear, hear.) The preparations for holding this great meeting in September next will 'not be remarkably onerous upon any of us, because I believe I may say, looking round the room, that we are a legion. (H ear , h ear. ) W e A ra all—and I find the sentiment pervades the town —we ;Ise all intending to join heart and hand for the purpose of giving the gentlemen of the British Association a favour able, a hospitable, a liberal reception. (Hear, hear and applause.) And with regard to the accommodation 41" hich we can afford them, I trust that our friend Mr. Lloyd, wb o is Chairman of StGeorges Hall, and the gentlemen asso ciated with him in that committee, will exert themselves to complete that building, by the aid of yourself, Sir, and other members of the corporate body, so that we may hold all the meetings of every section in the one building, which will be an object that has scarcely ever been attained at any period, during the 23 y ears which the Association has existed, with the exception perhaps of Oxford and Cambridge. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Sir, I consider that we are greatly in debted to you for summoning this meeting at the close of your Mayoralty, in which you have so very greatly distin guished yourself by your liberality, your munificence, and your public spirit. (Applause.) I consider the last act a most graceful act, that which you are now performing, to summon this meeting, in the midst of all your cares and laboura, which necessarily attend upon the close of your Mayoralty. (Hear, hear.) I consider the closing act a most graceful act, inasmuch as you have summoned us together upon this occasion. Sir, I have had a resolution put into my hands, to the following effect:—" That there be consti tuted from the general committee five sub-committees, namely first, the committee of finance; second, the committee for section room and soirees; third, for lodging and reception ; fourth, for printing and post ing ; and fifth, for excursions ; and that tb.— _ mittees consist of the following member to add to their numbers with power There are many gentlemen in this room who are not perhaps aware of the nec or forming these committees at so early a period. The ex pense attending the holding of the meeting in this town will not be very great, it will not be very onerous upon any gen tleman : but still it will be necessary to obtain a sum of from £l,OOO to £1,500 altogether, in order to defray the expense which is always incident to the holding of these meetings. For example, there is very heavy expense incurred in print ing and stationery : there is considerable expense incurred in providing for excursions. to various places in the vicinity and also the fitting up of section rooms and rooms for soirees. These expenses are necessary independently' of the private hospitality which we know to a certainty will be exercised upon this occasion, the same as it was upon the former occasion. (Hear, hear.) On the former occasion, most of the leading gentlemen of the town did, according to their means, invite the eminent members of the British Association to their houses, and of course that saved con siderable expense to the members of the association gene rally. Now, , sir, we have put down a number of names upon these committees, derivedfrom gentlemen who expressed their willingness to act chiefly, but there may be omissions, and there will be, without doubt, as it is impossible for any gentleman connected with the proceedings to state exactly who would be willing to act and take an active part, and who would not. The names, however, can be altered in any way you, sir, and the meeting think proper. The speaker then read the names, which comprised nearly all the gen tlemen present, and concluded by proposing the adoption of the resolution. Mr. THORNLEY, M.P., said he had much pleasure in se conding the proposition. He had attended with great gra tification some of the meetings of the British Association, and was strongly impressed with the importance of these meetings for the advancement of science. He felt quite sure that the object of the meeting would be carried out in Liver pool in the best possible manner. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was adopted without a dissentient. M.r THOMIS BERRY HOP.SFALL, M. P., proposed the next resolution as follows :—"That his Worship the Mayor, for the time being, be requested to act as chairman, and that Samuel Holme, Esq., William Lassell, Esq., and Joseph B. Yates, Esq., be vice-chairmen, and that those gentlemen, with he local treasurer and two local secretaries, be ex officio members of all the sub-committees." Mr. Horsfall said : I think, from my own knowledge of the gen tleinen hero named, we may have confidence that they will form very efficient chairmen and deputy-chairmen of the very extensive committee which has just been formed. (Hear, hear.) It is not necessary, sir, that I should trouble this meeting with any lengthened observations, but I cannot avoid ex pressing my entire concurrence in the observations with which you have favoured - the meeting, and I do hope that the gentlemen who will honour us with their presence at the approaching anniversary of the British Association will bear in mind the practical results which we are to expect from their scientific proceedings. In Liverpool we are emphati cally men of business who look to results, and I think that we may look with confidence to the results of the ap proaching meeting, judging by the effect of the last whichwas held in this town, and, sir, although Mr. Yates has told us that it is 16 years since the last meeting was held here, there are many in the room who may have, as I have, a very pleasing and a very vivid recollection of it. (Hear, hear.) And, sir, I think, in a few words, that it augurs well for the meeting in Liverpool that the noble lord whom we have so long known and so long respected has undertaken to preside over it. (Hear, hear, and loud applause) I think, sir, with such a noble lord and such a noble building, which; I trust, we shall have ready for the occasion, we may may anticipate the most happy results from the approaching meeting. (Hear, hear.) Sir, I have great pleasure in moving the reso lution which I have just read. _ _ Mr. FRANCIS Hziwoou seconded the motion, expressing his belief that the object the meeting had in view might be safely confided to the gentlemen named in the resolution. The C/lAIRMAN put the resolution which was unanimously adopted. Rev. Dr. RAFFLES said : Mr. Mayor, I beg leave to move that the mayor for the time being, be respectfully requested to call a public meeting in the sessions house, in order to secure the active co-operation of the town at large. I apprehend, Mr. Mayor, that it would b e unnecessary for me to occupy a moment of your valuable time in attempting to say any thing in order to enforce this resolution. I apprehend that it must commend itself to the judgment of every gentleman present. (Hear, hear.) Although Mr. Yates tells us, that there will not be a very large amount reqniried to shew such hospitality as we are desirous to shew to the highly respect able and honourable gentlemen who will visit us on this occasion, still some expense will be incurred, and in order to defray that expense it is important that we should interest the community at large in the object which we have in view. (Hear, hear.) I beg leave sir, to move the resolution. Mr. TriNr. seconded the proposition. He observed, it would be seen that the proceedings of that day were little more than preliminary m a great measure, but still it would be the pource of very great satisfaction to all the friends of the British Association, to find that so influential and so numerous a meeting attended there on the bare announcement of the visit next year. (Hear, hear.) He could not but think that it augured well for thesuccess ofthe object. (Hear, hear.) lib elite I:Ausizi nag of the meeting had been one through in so practical a manner, he would not detain them by making any further observations. The motion was unanimously adopted. The CuirnmAN- then announced that the business of the evening had concluded. - . Mr. Jos Eill PoLLocs., judge of the County Court, moved that the thanks of the meeting . be given to the mayor for having called them together, and for the manner in which he had presided over them. In proposing the motion Mr. Pollock observed, that as the ministers of religion had expressed their anxiety to further with the utmost of their aid the progress of art, literature, and science, perhaps he might bo pormilAcci, c 1,5 picaidiug. umr a court or law, to add their expression of his earnest anxiety to the same effect. Applause.) He felt well assured, that just in proportion as intellect extended, and in proportion as knowledge increased, so would be their attachment to their social institutions and their social rights, and such would- be their appreciation' of the advantages which they now enjoyed of civil and religious liberty. (Applause.) Mr. ADAM HUDSON seconded the resolution, which was carried by acclamation. The Mayor having briefly acknowledged the compliment ; the meeting separated. COURT OF CH ANCERY.-.THIIRSDAY (Dv - ore the Lords Justices.) Tax TRUSTEES OF THE BIRKENHEAD DOCKS V. LAIRD. THE BIRKENHEAD DOCK COMPANY, AND ANOTHER. This was a litigation between the plaintiffs, the trustees of the Birkenhead Docks, and the defendants, the Birkenhead Dock Company,both these compani es h av i ng o bt a i ne d pow ers from the legislature to make docks, &c., at Birkenhead, and claiming to exercise those powers along a piece of water called the Wallasey Pool. The question at issue was, whether the defendant company were bou n d t o exercise their powers in subservience to the plaintiffs, the decision of this turned on the construction of the acts of Parliament respectively ob tained by the two 'bodies. In July, 1844, the plaintiffs ob tained an act giving them power to embank portions of the shore of the Mersey, in order to make docks, &c., and in May, 1845, they obtained a second act, called the "Walling Act," enabling them to construct sea and wharf walls, and other works along Wallasey Pool. The 19th section of this second act directed that the owners of certain lands might become the purchasers of any of these walls, and should then be treated as owners thereof, and be at liberty to make oyen ings and other alterations, with the sanction of the plaintiff company. In June, 1846, the defendants obtained their act, authorising them to construct docks, and for this purpose en abling them to become owne rs o f the lands just referred to. They subsequently obtained a portion of the walls erected under the powers granted to the plaintiff company, and made a lease of it the defendant Laird. It appeared that this gentleman commenced making openings, &c., in the wall without the consent of th e pl ain tiff s. The trustees of the Birkenhead Docks then filed their bill to restrain him, the object apparently being to obtain the opinion of the court in reference to the powers conferred on the two com panies by their respective acts of Parliament. On the 18th MT last the Master of the Rolls, on a motion for a decree, detide s d in favour of the plaintiffs, and made a decree, de claring that the defendant was not entitled to make open ings, &c., without the sanction of the plaintiffs, in the terms of the 19th section of the act of May, 1845. The Birkenhead Dock Company now moved to set aside or vary this decree. Mr. Follett and Mr. Goldsmid, for the plaintiffs, supported the decision of the Master of the Rolls. A point of practice was raised in the course of their argu ment as to whether the court could, under the provisions of the act 15th and 16th Viet., c. 36, determine a mere ques tion of law, such question not being necessary to be decided previously to the decision of an equitable question, but solely for the purpose of a declaratory decree not followed by consequential relief. Their lordships suggested ,that there might be conside ra bl e d ou bt on the po i nt, an d to avo i d the difllculty arising in the case before them, the defendants consented to admit in terms that Laird was acting contrary to the words of the 19th section of this act. The result of thiS admission would be to entitle the plaintiffs to conse quential relief, in the shape, of an injunction, if the Lords Justices agreed with the view of the act taken by the Master of the Rolls. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Kinglake, for the Birken head Dock Company, contended that the plaintiffs and defendants had distinct and independent objects and powers; and that it was not intendedlby the Legislature to render the latter company subservient to the former ; and that to put the construction on the acts of Parliament which had been done by the Master of the Rolls, would be to render the large expenditure which had been made by the defendants, to an amount of £600,000, comparatively useless. In sup port of their 'view of the case, they referred to and com mented on the different sections of the various acts above mentioned. Mr. Kinglake had not concluded his address when the court rose. Narrow ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.—On. Thursday night, about nine o'clock,' a respectably dressed female fell overboard, from the Rock Ferry boat, (she was said by some to have jumped overl) and had a narrow escape from drowning. She became entanged in the paddle-wheel of one of the Wood side boats, and was rescued. Had she not come in contact with the wheel the must inevitably have been drowned. I.RELAJ.VD FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) FEARFUL INUNDATIONS AT CORK.-DESTRUC TION OF PATRICK'S BRIDGE, AND LOSS OF LIFE. DUBLLN, FRIDAY. The accounts from the provinces this morning are of the most discouraging description. Most of the rivers are so swollen by the rains, as to have flooded the lands in their neighbourhood, and otherwise done serious injury. I give you the reports seriatim. The Cork Examiner, of Wednesday, says : Tie most terrible flood which has ever appeared in the city is now raging not only in the river, but rushing like a mill race through the streets, flooding the houses, and sus pending the whole course of business. At an early hour this morning the western part of the city was covered to a con siderable extent with water, but this attracted no great alarm, as that portion is the first to suffer from the effects of delug ing rains. But as it was observed to spread across like a sea, bearing down portions of trees and fragments of timber buildings, apprehensions became excited. About ten o'clock the Grand Parade became flooded, and the stream, separating itself there, bore down rapidly along Patrick-street and the South Mall, and gradually extended itself over every portion of the flat .of the city. By twelve o'clock the rush of the water through every street necessitated the closing of the shops, and business was totally suspended. The aspect of the city now became very threatening , and the alarm became general and intense ; but thi s feeing was changed to horror when, about half-past twelve, the account of a fearful calamity came to add to the terror of the scene. At that hour the turbid and swollen water was rushing under Patrick's Bridge in large and rough waves like those of the sea ; the bridge was as usual crowded with passers-by, some of whom were gazing with mingled alarm and curiosity at the menacing waters, when suddenly a crack was heard, and in a second the western portion of the pier near Camden quay gave way, and fell into the tide, carrying with it a number of per sons who had been passing along. What the numbers were is not accurately . know ; there are various and conflicting accounts, some saying so h i gh as twenty, but the credited and more general account estimates them at between eight and twelve. At present no notion even can be formed of who those unhappy persons were. Not one of those that fell was saved, not a hand or a head was seen above the waters in which they were carried down. The pollee wore soon after in attendance, to prevent the passers-by from crossing the bridge, which, notwithstanding its dangerous condition, with half of one of the piers torn away, numbers of persons persisted in doing. Shortly afterwards General Maunsell arrived with a guard of soldiers, with fixed bayonets, which was found to be necessary to keep persons from crossing. At the present moment not only the bridge, but even the quays near, arc in considerable danger. The huge mass of masonry remained pressing for about two hours against the other portion of the pier, until, at last, underminded by the terrible rush of water, it has fallen, and placed the pier of the centre arch in a most precarious condition. About the same time a portion of the Coal-quay, near Market-street to the length of about thirty yards, was burst by the force of the water. As we write, an account has arrived that the portion'of the same quay near Half-moon-street, on which the fountain is plaeed, has been also carried down, and large cracks along the pathways indicate the almost certainty that further portions will meet the same fate. Great fears' are entertained for the safety of North Gate Bridge, the water rushing through which is literally foaming over the parapets. From an early hour the traffic by cars has been stopped, and chains have now been thrown across to prevent, as much as possible, foot passengers from running the risk they incur in crossing it. Accounts have reached town that the whole country . for thirty miles round has been inundated to a terrible extent, and a fearful amount of damage has been done, but of course we cannot as yet estimate to what extent, or give any particulars. We have been informed that the Black water is flooded in a similar manner with the Lee, and that houses, corn, and cattle have been borne down. The extent of damage that has been done up the river has not, of course, been yet ascertained, but thou-ands of evi dences of it are being momentarily swept down by the current. A blacksmith, whose whole house and workshop were carried away by the flood, came floating down upon a bed, to which he clung desperately. He appeared to have come a considerable distance ; but, being a large powerful man, he still retained his strength - and self-possession. As he came near the Anglesea Bridge, while the most breathless interest was excited by the spectators, repeated, and, we are glad to say, finally successful attempts were made to save him. Ho was thrown ropes from several of the ships, one of which he grasped, and was carried frequently under the bottom of the vessel by the terrific rush of the water, but was at last dragged ashore safe. It was stated that his son also had been saved, and that his wife and child were drowned. Thousands of spectators crowd the quays, in some cases to their imminent danger, and, notwithstanding all the efforts of the police, watching the various objects that are brought down by the flood.. One of the most singular of these was a tree upon which a live turkey was perched. e have heard that the flood on the Blackwatev exceeds anything that has occurred within living intinory. - Yost' trees are said to have been torn up from their roots and carried away, bearing destruction to every obstacle they encounter. FOUR o'cLocK.—Judging from present appearances, the flood is not likely to rise higher, but we cannot say tha great dangers are not yet to be apprehended. Business, a youriatl, stAl remains suspended, and boats are to be-seen i various parts of the streets. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.—The Constitution ves us tidings up to half-past Eleven o'clock p.m., o f We dnesday, by which it appears that the gate house of the Munster Model Farm was swept away. It is also stated, that the number of persons who lost their lives on Patrick's bridge, was from twelve to fifteen. The Mayor was unluckily absent in Dublin, on official business. His secretary, Mr. Pierce Fitzgerald, was actively engaged through the city all day. Towards evening, many Of the inhabitants of Nile-street, and the more lowly situated (licit:iota of the town, began to utter cries of bread, having been unable to procure any provisions all day. On hearing of the circumstance, Mr. Fitzgerald procured a boat, which he loaded with bread and distributed to the people. This he continued to do during the entire night up to twelve o clock. The High Sheriff, A. J. Wood, Esq., gave orders to the bakers, that the police should be furnished with bread, on his responsibility, to any amount they might require. The different police stations were crowded with children, who remained there the entire night, having each received a good supper through the liberality of the High Sheriff. The constabulary were actively engaged all day. At an early hour in the morninc , they had gone round the city, warning shopkeepers of the flood which might be expected. During the dayhead constable Crowley was engaged with a body of police at Patrick's bridge, to prevent the pub lic from crossing. Head constable Porter was similarly occupied at North Gate Bridge ; whilst to head constable Roe was confined the care of the quays, at which men were stationed at intervals, to prevent parties from approaching too near the edge of the river. A party of mounted police, under direction of sub-inspector Walker, proceeded to the different roads outside the city, to warn parties not to come into town. The gas lamps, of course, could not in many parts of the city be lighted. The streets would have been in total dark ness if the residents had not lighted them up by holding can dles, lamps, torches, &c., in their front windows , which they continued doing until an advanced hour of the night. What the extent of the loss of property, consequent on the floods, may be, it is impossible to estimate, but it must be eiceedingly . serious ; the shopkeepers in the main streets, on the quays, ni Patrick-street, and. the Parade, must all Have suffered considerably. It is rather singul ar th a t in Black pool, which is usually one of the first districts inundated when the city is visited by floods, has not suffered the slightest inconvenience from the present visitation. Black pool and all the streets adjacent are quite dry. In anticipation of the tide, the vessels in the river were all secured to the quays by their anchors. Large holes were dug in the quays, about eighteen feet from the edge, and the anchors firmly imbedded in them. By thi s p reca ution the shipping escaped without serious damage. The entire country near Macroom is inundated to even a greater extent than in Cork. Macroom Bridge has been swept away, and one of the railway bridges on the Kil larney line has been carried down, completely stopping the transit of the trains. it is stated that Mr. Lead-r, near Kanturk, has lost a flock of 300 fine sheep, which were car ried away and drowned. Mallow has fared still worse. A miller residing in that town, whose name we were unable to ascertain, has lost two horses ; and five persons have been drowned in their houses, three in one, and two in another. The water is flowing through the streets to the depth of over twelve feet. The shops are, completely filled, and even the first floor rooms are floating with water. Rafts are plying through the streets, manned with police, and loaded with bread and other provisions, which they are distributing to the poorer inhabitants,. who would otherwise be placed in a position of extreme privation. In one houie near the rail way, water flowed into the drawing-room. Two houses in the heart of the town have given way. A somewhat amus ing incident has occurred. A gentleman residing in Mallow,' had kept two casks of old whiskey, which he purposed re serving for future use, when matured by age. The water, however, entered his cellar, and the two casks of whiskey were staved and carried away ; the cellar was surrounded with people drinking the grog, which flowed copiously out. One gentleman who had to travel to Cork on business, was forced to get out of the second floor window of one of the hotels, and go down a ladder into a boat, by which he was eo4veyed to the railway station. LATEST INTELLIGENCE, The following extracts are from the Southern Reporter received this morning:— In the account of the accident at Patrick's Bridge it was not stated that more than eight or ten perished. As yet it is unknown how many perished, but an informant of ours estimates the number at thirty. The appearance presented by the city this (Thursday) morning was of the most melancholy character—the streets in many parts were completely torn up ; and Great George's street seemed more like the dried up course of a mountain EARLY CLOSING TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, SIR-4 have read two letters which have re- 3ently appeared in your journal, respecting Early losing, emanating, I understand, from an Associa- tion formed by the Assistant Drapers of this great commercial town, which is advancing rapidly in commerce • and in science, and will, ere long, rival any other in this great kingdom, if all classes but work faithfully together, each man doing all in hip power to elevate those placed under him to hap piness and independence. I believe the sole and grand object which stimulates these young men to agitate for shorter hours of business, is only the culti vation of that mighty power, the intellect ; cer tainly there may be a few isolated exceptions, such as those quoted in one of the forementioned letters, viz., that young men become mo re di ss i pate d w h en the hours.of business are shortened. If such is the language of Mr. No. 2, indeed I must say his capa city is not beyond the precincts of his pocket. Are our noble merchants, bankers, &c., dissi pated, because their hours of business are .short? I say no. In all grades you find men of various stamps, some moral and some dissipated ; but are the good to suffer for the bad in this respect ? If such was the case, deplorable indeed would be our position. - Young men in these establishments work ,hard, and very hard indeed, from seven in the morning until eight, nine, and in some houses until ten and eleven. at night. Where is the time for improving the mind, or refreshing the memory in former studies ? Many young men connected with that trade possess very high orders of talent, which would shine forth as bright as jewels in any of the professions, if that fickle smile of fortune had not darkened their meridian, to, blast their prospects, crush their hearts, and lead- them to Mr. No. 2, (professor of A.8.C.), to finish a course ofhard study, (late hours indispensable), who will do in his power to have them lost for ever to society. Ladies of Liverpool; who have placed the golden plumage. on this bird of No. 2, come forward with all your power, beauty, and fashion, to clip the wings of that haughty bird, if the lords of creation are not set at liberty.

The victim of the barbarous act is a young woman named Mary Ann Sturgeon, whose friends reside in Suffolk, but who had been living for some years as a domestic servant in the family of Mr. Bayley, at Britwell Farm,_ previous to her taking the situat ion o f h ouse k eeper to Mr. Ralph Willis Goodwin, of the Burnham Abbey Farm, about three months ago. On Wednesday an inquiry was opened be fore Mr. John Charsley, coroner for Bucks, at the Mile house, on the Colnbrook-road, and adjourned for the production of further evidence. According to the testimony already taken, it appears that Mr. Goodwin, who is a highly-respectable young man, of the class of gentlemen farmers, is unmarried, and that his household consisted of the deceased and a groom named Moses Attow. In the farm-yard • there is a cottage occupied by John Bunce, the groundkeeper, who lodges in his house several labourers employed on the farm. In the evening of Tuesday, Mr. Goodwin 'left his, home soon after six o'clock, on a visit to a neighbour, and returned about half-past eleven. During Mr. Goodwin's absence deceased called at the cottage of Bunce, where she remained until about nine o'clock, when she returned to the house for the purpose, as she said, of preparing the supper for the groom. The groom states that he was served with his supper by the de ceased, and that he soon afterwards went to bed. The farmhouse, it should be stated, is a modern and con venient dwelling, built some years ago on the site of the ancient abbey of Burnham, by the late Mr. John Pocock, of Lake End, a part of whose large estate it formed. The kitchen in which the groom had his supper is separated from the other part of the house at eight by a door, which, h e says, was locked on Tuesday night by the deceased, the groom himself sleeping in a small chamber approached by a ladder from the kitchen. He further says, that when he had been in bed some time, he was aroused by a noise as of some one falling down, and he thereupon got up, and proceeded to the cottage of Bunco, who was partly dressed, with the intention of looking round the yard, as he fancied something was the matter with one of the colts. This proved to be the case ; and after the animal had been attended to, Bunce and 'Attow went round the yard, but could observe nothing wrong. At half-past eleven, Mr. Goodwin came home. Letting himself into' the house by a latch-key, he was surprised not to find his candle burning, as was customary ; and in walking along the passage up stairs, after he had provided himself with a li g ht, he discovered on the floor a human tooth and a hair pin. He also perceived a dense mass of smoke, and a strong smell of burning, both of which appeared to proceed from the bedroom of the, deceased, at the further end of the passage. Calling Bunce and Attow to his assistance, he went to the housekeeper's room, and there a horrifying sight presented itself. The bedroom is provided with a fire-place, and, in contemplation of a visit from some relatives, Mr. Goodwin had ordered fires to be lighted in that and the other chamber. When the door was opened, and objects could be distinguished through the smoke, the body of the unfo r t una t e woman was f oun d, lying with her head next the mantel-piece, her legs on the hearth-rug, in the direction of the bedstead; and on her legs and the lower part of her body was a mass of fire still burn ing furiously, and consuming the flesh of the deceased. A dressing table and a quantity of- linen had been used as fuel. The fire had burnt through the floor of the chamber, and was already consuming the joists. Had Mr. Goodwin's return been delayed one half hour, the house would have been on fire past redemption. _ _ On examining the body of the deceased, it'was found that both legs had been burnt off nearly close to the trunk, from which they were completely separated. The head and upper part of the body were not injured by the fire, but ex hibited marks of great violence. One of the teeth was miss ing—the tooth found by Mr. Goodwin in the passage—the hand was injured as if by some blunt instrument. Near the hand ofideceased was a large pool of blood, and on the door of her apartment, and on the handrail of the staircase, there were marks of blood. When the reporter visited the room, the remains of the deceased had been removed, but the apartment was left as it appeared when the fire was got under. It was, indeed, a sickening and heart-rendmg sight, and the smell of the roasted human flesh was quite distinguishable. That the deceased was foully murdered down stairs, and her body then taken and set fire to in her bedroom, is the present belief, but no distinct clue has yet been obtained to the guilty parties. Suspicion at first rested on the groom, but the result of the inquiry, so far as it has proceeded at present, tends to establish his innocence. - At first it was believed that nothing had been stolen from the house, and the absence of plunder rendered the barbar ous deed still more mysterious ; but Mr. Goodman discovered that some valuable rings, a gold pencil-case, and other arti cles were fakers from his bedroom. LIVERPOOL MARK ETS.YESTERDAT. Written expressly for the _Northern Duly Timm. COTTON.—The sales to-day are 6,000 bales, 1,000 having been taken for export, and on speculation. The market closes quietly. UonN.=- - - - Alth - O - tigh the season is already very late, and after long excessive rains a few days may be required to bring some of the heavy lands of the country into a state fit for. the recep tion of seed, the return of fine dry weather, prevalent here since the close of last week, affords a fair prospect of autumn culture being shortly in extensive operation, as is now the case in this district, and represses the fears so long entertained of another serious falling off in the breadth of land intended to be planted with wheat. This apprehension has of late been one of the several important causes which have influenced the steady advance of prices, and the prospect of its removal ap pears therefore in influence In Checking their up ward progress, notwithstanding the great deficiency of our recently gathered crop, the continued 'large consumption, and the declension of our usually most reliable foreign supplies. In most markets•of the country this week, the trade has con sequently made a stand, some few are quoted at a trifle lower, and here, with a very limited business passing in any article intermediately from Tuesday to this date, wheat and flour have been rather more pressed for sale, and each could have been purchased on slightly easier terms. Beyond a tolerable quantity bf oatmeal, we are still very meagerly supplied with any kind of British er Irish produce ; of Foreign wheat, however, we have to note a rather liberal arrival, into this port sines Tuesday, amounting to upwards of 17,000 qrs., principally from the United States, and partly from Canada, Spain, and Egypt, Whilst of other grain from abroad the import is light, and of States and Spanish flour 9005 barrels and 1960 sacks only. Our market this morning presents an unfavourable contrast to most of those which have preceeded it for many weeks past ; the attendance has been exceedingly limited of millers and dealers from any quarter, and little more than retail sales could be effected in Foreign wheat, for which holders were generally willing to accept a reduction of 2d to 3d per 701bs. from the currency of Tuesday. Farmers being actively en gaged with sowing, there were scarcely any samples of country wheat - offering. We note flour Is to is 6d per barrel lower, end very little business done. Barley is neglected, and Id per bushel cheaper. Beans aro in good demand, and some quantity on passage has been taken to deliver at our extreme quotations. Oats are confined, the value has receded is per load. Indian corn meets a fair inquiry, but the actual business is un important to-day. Arrivals from the Ist to the 3rd November, 1853, inclusive,—wheat, 17,143 qrs.; barley, 1,028 qrs.; oats, 2,315 qrs. ; beans, 118 qrs. ; Pease, 125 qrs. ; Indian corn, 2,502 qrs. ; oatmeal, 5,217 sacks; flour, 2,377 sacks and 9,028 brls. Exports from Ist to Brd November, 1853, in clusive.—wheat, 1,576 qrs. ; Oats, 646 qrs. ; Indian corn, 50 qrs,; oatmeal, 26 sacks; flour, 945 sacks and 4,711 brls. current than a thoroUghfare for pedestrians. On the Parade large quantities of clay and gravel were collected tOgethei by the flood, and in other parts the paying was completely ripped up. The land lalong . .the Western Road, on both sides, as far as Carrigrohan as still under water ; and the south road to Macroom is rendered impassible, owing to the collection of rubbish and the many chasms that have been made in it by the inundation. A portion of the wall along the Dyke has been swept away; and the ditches and hedges in the fields near the Dyke, have all been levelled. The Carrigrohan bridge has suffered some slight injury, and would, in all probability, have been carried away, were it not that the wall and road on this side were swept away, and thereby a vent was given to the immense volume of water that passed on the bridge. The Lee bridge appears to have sustained no injury. It is estimated that the danger done to' Messrs. Perrott's concern will alone amount to £6OO ; and that the men employed in this extensive foundry will '—, able to commence any "castings " , for the next fort night. At one period of - the day, the flood rose to over five feet in the foundry. This morning ihe city magistrates ' accompanied by Mr. Tracy, the county surveyor for the Wdst Riding, Mr. Alex ander Deane, and sub-inspector, Walker, visited Patrick's Bridge, and after minutely inspecting it, Mr. Tracy and Mr. Deane both pronounced it unsafe even for foot-passen gers, and directed that barriers should be at once erected to prevent persons passing over it. They also inspected the North Gate Bridge which they considered sufficiently strong for the additional ;raffle. Guards of constabulary were sta tioned all night and all day at Patrick's Bridge; and strict orders have been issued by the magistrates to prevent all persons passing.over._ A large meeting of magistrates was held to-day for the purpose of adopting measures for the immediate relief of those poor people living in the lanes and off streets on the marsh, and north and south Main-streets, whose little all has been destroyed. It was resolved that they should be at once supplied with bedding and coals ; and, we understand, it is intended to convene a public meeting of the citizens for an early day, to originate subscriptions for the more effectual relief of those poor persons. Up to the present hour—three o'clock, the police have re ceived the names of but two persons who are missing site° yesterday—they are Mary Lynch and Catherine Daly, both of Brown-street. The police of the Silver Spring station picked up a cloak and white straw bonnet trimmed with blue, out of the river this morning. The bridge leading from the Western-road into the County Jail and Queen's College has sustained serious injury one of the buttresses is completely broken ; a large crack extends from one side to the other at each end. One of the turnkeys has been stationed at it all day to warn persons from passing it. MALLOW :—On Wednesday the Blackwater suddenly over flowed its banks, and carried away cattle, corn, and even some human beings, but the loss has not yet been ascer tained. Yesterday morning the flood was on the decline. FERMOY :—The gas works have been swept away, and the town is innundated to a considerable extent. BUTTEVA.NT : —The down train on Tuesday night was stopyed by the floods. KILLARNEY :—Two railway bridges have been swept away. Co. TIPPERARY :—The Suir has overflowed its banks. A man named Mulcahy was swept away off' his horse, and drowned, on Tuesday, within five miles of Clonmel. • LIMERICK :—Several tributaries of the . Shannon have broken their bounds. The whole country is in a deplorable state ; all the standing corn is beat down, and a great quan tity of what was stacked carried away. Most of the public roads are impassable, and the side streets• of the city are rushing with water. • NENVRY :—A large portion of the town is under water, and several persons narrowly escaped being drowned. KILDARE : —The Barrow has flooded some thousands of acres, and carried away a great deal of hay and corn. MISS CANTWELL'S cam • In the course of the day Mr. Fitzgibbon, Q.C., came into court and asked the chief baron to make an order for the clerk of the peace to keep in his possession, until further notice, the two pieces of ribbon, and other articles which were produced during the trial of Miss Cantwell. He made this application because they might be wanted for the purpose of ulterior proceedings. One of the, pieces of ribbon w as , in point of fact, th e p ro p er ty o f Miss Cantwell. Chief Baron—The verdict itself *does not authorise any proceeding to be taken, and I for one am not disposed to make an order that you are entitled to have these articles impounded cx debito. I am not aware of any act of the court which would lead to the impression that we imputed perjury or falsehood to any of the witnesses for the prose. cution. _ _ Mr. Fitzgibbon—l. do not say, my lord, that there is any intention to prosecute anybody for perjury; but I think.it would be for the benefit of the ends of justide to have these matters retained in the custody of the clerk of the peace. Mr. Bergin, who represented the firm of Cannock and White, said that he had no objection to the course proposed by Mr. Fitzgibbon. Chief Barim—Well, the application being made by counse: for Miss Cantwell, and no objection being made on the part of Messrs. Cannock and White, let the articles in question remain in the hands of the clerk of the peace until furthei orders. - - THE LATE ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE CAMISRIA..—Mrs. Nugent, sister to the Dowa&er Lady Talbot de Malahide, ortne surrorers from tin e effects or tne storm on 'Monday. Her leg was broken immediately below the knee, and although the greatest attention was paid her by Dr. Jones of Holyhead, yet from the age of the patient, as well as the situation of the fracture. serious consequences were apprehended. On Tuesday a consultation was considered desirable, and Dr. O'Ferrall, of Dublin, was sent for, and we are happy to • say that ; in the opinion of the surgical attendanti, this lady is progressing favourably. Two female servants of Captain Hart have been very.seriously injured— one has her arm broken, and is also hurt- in the side; the other has received a compound fracture of the leg, of a very 'serious nature, 't?gether with a fracture of the collar bone. The latter, especially, remains in a vofy prooarium position. All tho -wounded continue at the Royal Hotel, Holyhead. Mr. J. Taylor, of Birmingham, gives the following details of the late accident to this 'vessel, which left Kingstown • for Holyhead on Monday morning The wind had been very high during Sunday mght, and when we proceeded to sea,- the sea was raging from the effects of a gale•then blowing hard. The waves seemed to run almost mountains high, and when we had got about three parts of our way across• the channel there was the most awful crash and screaming I ever heard—an immense sea had struck • the ship on the starboard bow, and not only stove in the bulwarks from the quarter deck, to the bow, but had swept away one side of the cabin on the hurricane deck, sending' every • one , • into a confused mass. All the cabin furniture was broken to pieces like a bunch of crushed matches. The screams were awful. I thought the poor creatures were drowning. One lady had her leg broken, another her arm broken, and there was a baby, only a few months old, floating in the sea shipped on deck, which was dropped by the nurse in her fright when the cabin was destroyed. .1 was sitting by the , helmsman, and the immense body of water shipped on board, rushing to the stern, immersed me up to the neck. I thought it was a gone case with us all. However, thank God, we weathered the storm, and reached Holyhead about four, instead of two o'clock, and all thankful to step on shore, all soaked to the skin with our sea-bathing, and the vessel looking very queer, so knocked to pieces."
