But whoever cui we the prince must be aware that he is little cal- On ated for a mission. The cause of his visit is this : R u e Of the nep h ews o f t h e o ld fi e ld- mars h a l, P r i nce 1441 -lee de Windischgraetz, five or six years back, e t he acquaintance of the Princess Louisa of You elilen burg Schwerin at the bath of Ischl. The ready prince being an accomplished gentleman, ee ls a great impression on the mind of the prin her' ' a nd was in his turn greatly captivated with h er Tarl amiable qualities. He at length demanded Pri n ,nd in marriage, and the Grand Duchess, the of - ;: s s's mother, sister of the King of Prussia, 111E4 ' ll ' B e, informed his Majesty of the off3r and eto his niece. The King refused his consent, t , e court of Mecklenburg in consequence i tim r LY declined to accede to the young prince's ber h lea tion, declaring that it felt great regret at p ri "g Obliged to give such an answer.

Accordingly, when 11 . ' 41 de Manteuffel proceeded in October last to Pri e n ti n na, he was charged by the . King to invite the r c to the court of Berlin. The visit was b ea -t "ed by an indiopoaition of the prince, and prf„ ° TtIY now taken place. The King and the u ti i_ee are exceedingly well together, and it is not b e ' i `elY that the young prince and his wife will aTresent here at the marriage of the enßeptat of with the Princess Louisa of Prussia.

The Queen of Saxony will arrive at Potsdam to day." A letter from Warsaw, dated Friday last, gives the following account of the arrival of the Czar in that city : " His Majesty the Emperor Alexander 11. arrived here yesterday at eleven o'clock at night. "At nine o'clock at night the news of his Majesty's appearance was brought by a courier, and at once the illumination of the city commenced, proceeding with the utmost rapidity. The bridge, the Cracovia Faubourg, and the walk which leads to the Belve dere Palace, at which his Majesty was to stop, were one path of light. Wax candles innumerable, lamps, Chinese lanterns, transparencies with the Imperial cipher or allegorical designs, burned at the fronts of all the buildings. - Under these lights pressed an immense crowd, which passed to and fro between the barriers and the superb viaduct which unites the city to the banks of the Vistula and the Belvedere Palace. Huzzas and cries of " Vive l'Empereur !" uttered by thousands of voices saluted the soverei , n when, after two hours of expectation, he appeared in a light travelling carriage, accompanied only by his Aide-de-camp, Count Adlerberg, Minister of the Imperial House. The Emperor, who evidently was in the enjoyment of perfect health, bowed with emotion, and appeared exceedingly pleased with his reception. "On arriving at the palace his Majesty was received by Prince Gortschakoff, surrounded by foreign envoys, civil and military notabilities of Poland, and the highest dignitaries of the empire. The Emperor, after the first presentation, received the Prince Lieutenant of the kingdom in special audience, and then retired into his apartments to obtain rest after the extreme fatigues of his long journey." The correspondent of the Independance Beige at Warsaw gives the following as the substance of a speech addressed by the Emperor Alexander to a deputation of the inhabitants of that city who waited upon his Imperial Majesty on the 23rd : " My line of conduct towards your country is— absolute forgetfulness of the past. I am content with the Poles, not merely because, in spite of revolutions and wars in which all Europe has been entangled, they have not forgotten their duties to their sovereign and to themselves, but still more because those of them who have fought in the ranks of my soldiers have displayed a bravery and fidelity which have proof against all temptation. I have them all in my heart, and shall not cease to love the Poles as my own children. Tell this, messieurs, I pray you, to your fellow countrymen ; but tell them also that the time for i,ile dreams is at an end. No more of reveries. Gentlemen : I wish Poland to be happy, and she can only be so by her union with Russia." THE CONVICT PALMER. In our early edition yesterday, we communicated to our readers the fact, that as early as possible after sentence was passed, the wretched convict was removed from Newgate to Stafford Gaol, there to await his execution . It may be premised, however, that before the judges left the Central Criminal Court, on Tuesday, they signed a warrant for the removal of the prisoner to Stafford Gaol, and an order to the sheriff of that county to carry out the sentence. The removal was thus effected. At twenty minutes to eight o'clock two cabs drove up to Newgate, one of them entering the gaol gates, and the other remaining outside the governor's entrance. In a few minutes after Palmer was brought out of the governor's door, placed in the cab, which, after the entrance of Mr. Weatherhead (the governor) and two officers, drove off as rapidly as pos sible, scarcely being noticed. A great crowd, however, had collected round the gaol gates, and when, a few seconds afterwards, the second cab was brought out empty, they saw that they had been deceived, and im mediately ran after the first cab, which, owing to the crowded state of the top of Newgate-street at the time it started, they succeeded in overtaking opposite Hatton garden. Several hundred persons collected here, and hooted the prisoner in the most excited manner. When the cab which contained the prisoner and his keepers drove into the yard of the Euston Station the prisoner alighted and walked through the large room on to the platform. He was immediately recognised by some per sons who had seen him in court, and the news of his being at the station spread rapidly. In a few maments there was a tremendous rush through the station on to the platform, and in an incredibly short space of time the prisoner was the object of general cu riosity, although the fact of his removal had been kept as secret as possible. H'e walked rapidly to the train, with a gaoler on each side, followed by the crowd which had collected. He was placed in the middle com partment of a first-class carriage, a gaoler being on each side of him. When he was seated in the carriage the crowd surrounded the window, eager to catch a glance of one who had attained such an unenviable notoriety. This was evidently annoying to Palmer, and the blind of the carriage window was drawn down, much to the disappointment of the curious. Palmer was dressed in convict's costume (having been divested of his own clothes within half an hour after the verdict was given), his feet were ironed, and his hands handcuffed, a cloak covering the whole. The prisoner left Newgate with unabated courage, and with an expression of reliance on the exertions of his friends and his solicitor to procure a remission of his sentence. The prisoner's brother, accompanied by Mr. Smith, the solicitor, called at Newgate shortly after seven o'clock, but were not allowed to see the prisoner, being told that ample opportunities for an interview would be afforded them at Stafford. It is stated that a memorial is in preparation, addressed to the Government, show ing strong medical reasons why the sentence cannot with justice be executed. Symptoms, it is urged, ought not to weigh. Diversity in tetanus is as frequent as in any other disease, and in strychnia poisoning the acces sion of symptoms is as ♦aried as in any other species of tetanus. The pathological and physiological data upon which the prosecution has taken its stand will be rebutted. DEATH OF SIR W. E. ROUSE BOUGHTON, BART.—We have to record the demise of Sir Wm. E. Rouse Bough ton, Bart., who died on the 22nd instant. The deceased, who was born Sept. 14, 1788, succeeded his father, the 9th baronet, in Feb., 1821. He married, March 24, 1824, Charlotte, daughter of Mr. T. A. Knight, of Downton Castle, who died in May, 1842. Sir William was a fellow of the Royal Society. Tli e late baronet inherited two baronetcies, Rouse and Boughton, of which the more recent was conferred on his father in 1791, who represented Evesham and Bramber in the House of Commons, and was for some years secretary to the Board of Control. The late baronet is succeeded in the baronetcy and estates in Shropshire and Worcester- shire by his eldest son Charles Henry, born Jan. 16, 1825, and was for some lengthened period in the 52nd Foot. THE CRIME A.—Advices from Sebastopol states that in the camp everything remains unusually quiet. There have been the number of parades, field days. and inspection of regiments, brigades; and divisions, and the shot collecting still goes on vigorously. The weather is still changeable. The Sardinian army is rapidly disap pearing. Balaklava contains a large number of fine Eng lish steamers destined to take teem with all speed to Italy, and the embarkation of the British army is sus pended for the present. The French soldiers who were arrested for the murder of a sergeant of marines, for wounding an English naval officer, and for firing on an unarmed party of our men, have been passed before a Council of War, or, in other words, have been tried by Court-martial, and have been acquitted for want of proof against the actual murderers. Whether this decision is acepted by the English authorities or not I am unable to say, but I have reason to believe that the Commander-in-chiet is not satisfied to let the matter rest here, and that some further measures will ba taken to procure redress. Major-General Garrett has received a fall from his horse, which has shaken him con siderably, and from the effects of which he is confined to his bed. CASE OF ARCHDEACON DENISON.-It was expected that his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury would sit in the Common hall, Doctors'-commons, on Tuesday to hear the case of " Ditcher v. Denison." The Admiralty Advocate appeared on behalf of the Archdeacon, who was cited to be present at eleven o'clock, but, after waiting upwards of an hour, his Grace not arriving, the learned Advocate withdrew. It was understood that the absence of the Archbishop was occasioned by the pro ceedings in the Court of queen's Bench on Monday, but no official notice to that effect was received by the proctor for the Archdeacon. The Admiralty Advocate, before retir ing. addressed Mr. Bathurst, the proctor for the Arch deacon, and said that he presumed all the proceedings were abandoned. He could only regret the absence of his Grace, because it prevented him from making a prayer to he dismivsed with costs. He hoped that his Grace would furnish an opportunity for that being done, which was the invariable custom. This was a highly criminal suit, and he must act on the legal presumption that the proceedings against his venerable client were abandoned, NORTHERN TIMES. IMPORTANT FROM AMERICA. By the arrival of the Liverpool and Philadelphia Steamship Company's steamer, City of Baltimore, we have received New York papers of the 15th instant, being one day later than those brought by the Persia. _ _ The City of Baltimore left the Delaware on Friday, the 16th, and arrived in the Mersey yester day morning, making the passage in eleven days seventeen hours mean time. She logged above 300 miles a day for the last six days of her voyage. SIL t brought home 107 passengers. Although the papers are only one day later, they contain news of great importance, inasmuch as they convey from Washington the intelligence that, on the 14th, Padre Vijil presented his cre dentials, and was received by the President as minister from the Walker government in Nica ragua. The usual courteous speeches were inter changed. The President, in his remarks, signifi cantly said he would enforce the neutrality laws. Senor Maecoleta is greatly disgusted. Secretary Marcy acquiesces in the result. The President would send a messase to congress on the following day, announcing the recognition of the Walker government, and giving the reasons influencing that step. In the senate, on the same day, Mr. Clayton brought forward the subject of Central American affairs. He said : He had seen in the morning newspapers what purported to he an extract from a letter from the British Minister at Washington, dated March 31, 1856, in which Mr. Crampton says : "It will be within your Lordship's recollection that Mr. Clayton was informed by Sir Henry Bulwer, before the Treaty . of 1850 was signed, that Ruatan was de ,lure and de facto a British possession, and Mr. Clayton has on various occasions since, in conversation with me, stated that he con sidered Ruatan a British possession as much as Jamaica or any other British West India Island." Mr. Clayton branded this statement as utterly untrue in every particular. The British minister must have laboured nnder a hallucination as strange as ever entered the brain of any man to make such a declaration. Nothing like it had ever escaped him in conversation with Mr. Crampton or anybody else. Fortunately, the fact did not rest merely upon the statements of Mr. Crampton and himself. Ho had a living witness, and first, ho would call attention to a letter written by Mr. Crampton, and read in the Senate on the 12.11 of January, 1854, in which he (Mr, Crampton) attempted to prove that Ruatan was not a dependency of Belise, and was not exempted from the provisions of the treaty of 1850. He then had Mr. Crampton's testimony on the subject, and read it to the Senate. He would now read it again to contradict Mr. Crampton's statement, which was made known to him for the first time this morning, and of which he had not the most remote conception. In this letter Mr. Crampton said : " The dependencies of British Honduras are, in my opinion, distinctly enumerated in the treaty of 1786," He had made this statement deliberately, and the irresista ble conclusion was, that Ruatan was not included in these d, pendenc!es. Mr. Clayton said while he was detained at his lodgings by sickness in February or March last, he was called upon by Mr. Crittenden, anti. while they w ere engaged in conversation on Jr's subject, Mr. Crampton came in to invite him (Clayton) to dine with him. He (Clayton) was too sick to accept of the invita tion, but took occasion to ask Mr. Crampton if he knew any. thing of the charge that he (Mr. Clayton) had ever admitted that Ruatan was exempted from the operation of the treaty, and Mr. Crampton, in most unqualified terms, acknowledged that there was no truth in the report that he (Mr. Clayton) had ever made any such intimation to him. Mr. Crittenden c3rroborated Mr. Clayton's statement. He could not pretend to give the details of a conversation at which he was accidentally present, but according to his recollection, the substance of it was directly contrary to the statement in the newspapers, and sustained the account Mr. Clayton had given of Mr. Clayton said he had made speech after speech in the Senate, endeavouring to prove directly the reverse of what he was represented as admitting. Ho was willing to put the most charitable construction upon it, but it was an utter mistake. !kir. Cass thought it very certain. Mr. Clayton, unless in some fit of insanity, could never have said to Mr. Crampton what was attributed to him. Mr. Pratt enquired what evidence there was that this letter was authentic? He thought there must be some mistake. Mr. Clayton had no knowledge as to its authenticity. When his attention was called to it this morning he was much astonished, and his urst duty was to prove the statement. No matter by whom made, it was false. If Mr. Crampton never made such a statement, he was not injured by these remarks, but if he did make it, it was for him to explain. It had appeared in the public prints, and until it was denied or disavowed, Mr. Crampton was bound to suppose that it was a genuine document. He should, however, be very happy to be assured to the contrary. Mr. Fish, in response to a question from Mr. Clayton, said that in the course of two interviews with Mr. Crampton, the latter had stated that Mr. Clayton always denied that Ruatan was a British possession. He (Mr. Clayton), thought there must be some mistake in the copy of the letter. Mr. Cass said . that Great Britain, being repeatedly driven from one point of defence, had invariably taken refuge at another, and recent events had showed this more strongly than ever. In reference to the foregoing, the Washington correspondent of the New York Times says: Mr. Clayton's expose in the Senate of the falsehood of Crampton's official letter of the 31st of March last, was com pletely overwhelming. Of the genuineness of Crampton's letter there is no doubt, for it is published in the official Blue Book, a copy of which I have examined to-night. There can be no doubt here that Crampton stands convicted of a glaring and positive falsehood. _ _ _ The same writer, in reference to the recall of Mr. Crampton, says : There is not the least foundation for statements made by cotemporaries, that Great Britain has formally refused to recall Mr. Crampton, or yield or. the Central American ques tion. No dispatches whatever were received by recent steamers. A long dispatch had been prepared by Lord Claren don defensive of Crampton, and declining to recall him. This was considered in the British cabinet on the 22nd ult., but was not forwarded, as is supposed, in consequence of doubt as to its propriety or policy. The following are the latest reports of the NEW YORK MARKETS. MONEY AND STOCKS : Both Stock and Money affairs improved to-day, and a strong demand for the speculative Road Shares was manifested at each session of the brokers' board. The market was freely met by a leading and distinguished seller, whose transactions for the day are said to sum up 10,000 shares. Prices, however, steadily stiffened, and closed in the afternoon 11 per cent. dearer on Reading, to per cent each on Erie and New York central, and per cent on Toledo.

BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS, The Board of Trade returns for the month end ing the 30th of April lost, afford evidence of a very steady and gratifying increase in the export trade, consequent upon the restoration of peace. The statistics for the single month show an increase of 1,288,050/, or 18 per cent, compared with those of last year, and an increase of 1,570,7771. or 23 per cent, compared with 1854. Taking the aggregate exports for the, four months, we find an increase of 6,004,0011, or about 29 per cent over last year, and an increase of 2,550,1291, or about 9 per cent, over the corresponding period of 1854 The recent favourable change in the Money Market may be expected to give a further stimulus to the com merce of the country. Examining the chief items of these exports, we arrive at the subjoined general figures for the month, viz 1355. 1856. Cotton manufactures £2,171,706.... £2,339,063 Cotton yarn Linen manufactures Linen yarn 132,986.... 109,703 Woollen and worsted mania- factures Woollen and worsted yarn.

After the heavy shipments of cotton yarn which were made in the previous month, the return under review exhibits a dimin ished export under this head, but the aggregate for the four months stands at 2,562,7561. against 2,092,3061. last year. The annexed shows the quantities of the chief articles of food taken for consumption during the last four months, viz. : 1855. 1856. Cocoa Coffee Rice . cwts. 274,654 425,755 Sugar (unrefined).cwts. 2,889,375 1,993,198 Tea . cwts. 20,840,483 22,750,229 Tobacco (of all kinds) lbs. 10,001,779 10,960,878 Wines The chief increase is in tea, rice, and tobacco, and the chief falling off in sugar and cocoa. The late Sir Edward Tierney, Bart., died worth £13,300 a year—landed property, £6o,ooo—the latter of which descends to his son, Sir J. Darrell, Bart. The service of plate, presented to Sir Matthew Tierney, Bart., remains in the fam:ly as an ancient heir-loom. - - MILITARY MISCONDUCT IN DUBLIN.—An affair, which has led to the expulsion of eight " temporary" members of the Hibernian 'United Service Club, and in which some of a light cavalry regiment are unpleasantly involved, seems to be a formal cotnplaiut, addressed by the secretary of the club to the managing committee, of the behaviour of a party of those " gentlemen" in the coffee room on the evening of the 30th of April. He says they were not content with bawling, shouting, and making all sorts of noises, but threw about the potatoes and meat, pelting each other from one table to another, soiled both the carpet and the walls with a shower of sauce and other liquids; and when they were remonstrated with, declared that " they did not mind—it was nothing but a d—d pothouse." When the c tmmittee took up the matter, four of the per sons complained of sent apologies, which were deemed satisfactory, but the explanations of replies of the eight who are expelled were not expressive of the due contrition of their offer ce. A CHILD SHOT BY HIS COUSIN.—At the Croydon police court, on Saturday, a little child, named George Sales. only seven years of age, was brought before the magis trates, charged with cansing the death of Edward Sales, his cousin, aged about five years, by shooting him with a gun at Warlinghatn, a small village, about five miles from Croydon. Tho grandfather of the child, a cattle doctor, named Standing, was in court. The sergeant deposed : From information I received about half-past twelve to-day (Saturday). I proceeded to the house of Richard Sales, at Warlinglaam. I there found the body of a child, named Edward Sales, lying on the floor dead ; he appeared to be about five years of age. He had been shot through the head, the shot having entered jest under the right ear, and passed out at the left. There was something like brains lying upon the table. I also found the gun produced. [lt was a very old single-barrel gun, there was no fastening to secure the barrel in the stock, and the lock was broken out.] The little boy said " that when the gun went off it fell down, and so become broken." The gun was near the body, and had every appearance of having been recently discharged. When I went the house was locked up, and the little boy taken to his grandfather's. The place was covered with blood. The prisoner said he found the gun in a drawer, and put it together. The magis trates considered this impossible, but upon the gun being given to the child he, after a very little time, arranged it properly. The officer continued—There was a little girl in the house with the children when it occurred, and she said the gun was lying down by the side of the table. She also stated that a younger child, of three years of age, fired it, and not this boy ; but that I think impossible, as I do not imagine he could lift it. Afterwards, as we were coming to Croydon, the prisoner said he fired the gun. I should think that he must have been quite close to the other child, by the marks of the Powder. The case stands remanded until next Satur day, in the meantime the inquest will be held. The child was allowed to go home with his grandfather, Isaac Standing, upon his entering into his recognizance of £lO for his appearance. DAY. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES THE DERBY.-YESTERDAY The Derby this year occurred under extremely favour able auspices. The display attached to the celebration of the peace induced great numbers to make the present a holiday week, and a very large proportion of those who will be in town to-morrow evening were on Epson Downs yesterday. The weather also falsified the anticipations of the previous night. Heavy showers fell yesterday morn ing ; but as soon as noon approached, the clouds rolled off, and the sun broke out with a seasonable heat. This relieved the anxiety of thousands and greatly contributed to the unusual proportion of visitors from London proper. The rain had even an advantage, for it served to lay the dust and to give the country a fresh and cheering aspect• The railways, of course, drafted off great numbers from the road and deprived the latter of much of its former confusion and:excitement. Nevertheless, the road down continues to be largely patronised, and the throngs assembled at the Elephant and Castle: and other conve nient spots of the route were not disappointed this morring of the variety of equipage associated with the great national event. The ladies of England have always taken an interest in the Derby. It suggests purchases of the prettiest kid, fortune-telling, and delicious luncheon on the hill, and gives, it may be secretly insinuated, an opportunity for fascinating the ruder sex by those miraculous combina tions of physical advantages with triumphs of art and the latest whims of fashion which are peculiar to our time. Never have the ladies appeared in greater numbers than yesterday. The present Derby boasted of the presence of royalty. Yesterday morning his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by Prince Frederick William of Prussia, his Royal Highness the reigning Prince of Baden and Prince Ernest of Leiningen, left Buckingham Palace in four of her Majesty's carriages for the Downs. The illustrious party proceeded over Vauxhall-bridge en route for the Cock Tavern, Sutton, where they changed horses and proceeded to the race course. On their return home, according to arrangements, they visited Hampton Court Palace. Leaving these accessory topics, it may be interesting perhaps to professionals.to know the state of feeling in the miscellaneous betting circles of the metropolis. It may be mentioned that the " paper-hanging establish ments" (a term which the unitiated reader may be informed, presupposes a violation of a certain stringent act) were numerously frequented, and there was an extensive run upon Fly-by-Night. The speculators were loud in their complaints of the mysteries of Scott's stables. The perpetual change in the favourite of the stable, produced some exasperation ; and while not a few attributed the rush upon the horse just named to a desire to get out, by those who stood awkwardly against him, there were still others who were equally ccinfident in believing him to be the real Simon Pure of the Great Yorkshire Aristocratic Confede racy. The state of the course and its probable influence was of course warmly debated ; but the hour for the departure of these small book-makers to the scene of action arrived, and the curious localities were speedily deserted. In the City, and at the Milk-street rendezvous, a good deal of excitment was manifested throughout the morning, but although at the various places of resort there was a strong tendency to get up private sweeps, speculation generally was dull, as compared with two or three years ago. The race for the " Great Event " was appointed to take place at three o'clock, and we subjoin the state of the LATEST BETTING. 9 to 4 agst Wentworth (taken) .5 to 1 Cannobie (taken) 11 to 2 ...

FOREIGN 0 FFICK, May 21.—The Queen has been pleased to approve of Mr. George Knehmer as Consul general in England, for his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias. The Simla, steam transport, arrived at Spithead on Tuesday night, from Scutari, with 469 cavalry officers and 297 horses. The Orinoco arrived the same day, with nearly 600 men and above 250 horses, from the East. The _Daily .2Vews says, owing to continued severe indisposition, Mr. Baron Platt is said to have, yesterday, tendered his resignation Mr. Watson, Q.C. and M.P., is already spoken of as likely to be the new Baron of the Court of Exchequer. SUSPECTED IVlutinna.—Margaret Jones, the under-matron of the Deaf and Dumb Institution, Swansea, is in custody on a charge of murdering her male infant by smothering it under the bed clothes. Joseph Maslen, and another female, are also in custody as implicated in the clime BAPTISM OF THE FEFRCH IMPERIAL PHINCE.—The following are some few details of the preparations now in progress at Notre Dame for the baptism of the Prince Imperial. The whole of the church will be decorated with paintings, to harmonise with the style of the build ing, and all the windows filled with coloured glass, so as to throw a soft light over the interior. The keystones of the vaulted roof, and the capitals of the columns will be gilded. In the centre of the transept, and on an estrade approached by six steps, will be placed on the right and left the legate, the archbishop, the cardinals, the prelates, and the other dignitaries of the Church. In the centre will be se ,ts for the Em peror and Empress, the Imperial Family, the ladies of honour in attendance, and the ministers. The altar, which will be placed at the entrance of the choir, will be covered with a canopy, and on either side in the choir will be erected tribunes for the ladies of the high pub lic functionaries. Between the altar and the prie-dieu of their Majesties will be placed the baptismal font. The water for the ceremony will be put in the vase of St. Louis (now in the Musee des Souverains), and which will be placed on a table of white marble. The diplomatic body and the senate will be placed as usual in the southern transept ; the northern being occupied by the legislative body and the council of stole. On the right and left of the nave will be seats for the public. The orchestra will be placed, as on the occasion of the marriage of their Majesties, over the grand entrance near the grand organ. Outside, front of the central entrance, will be raised a r i c hl y d ecora t e d porc h, w ith masts ormtmented with flags.-904sani. - - DOCK COMMITTEE.---YEsTEBDAy The weekly meeting of this committee was held yester day, this day being sot apart for general rejoicing. Mr. Francis Shand presided, and the other members present were—Messrs. Robinson, Palmer, Gregson, Rounthwaite, Gladstone, Mondell, Smith, Lockett, Anderson, Rankin, and Evans. Reports were read from the surveyor, the dockmaster of the Huskisson dock, and the head constable, regarding the fire which took place, in the dock mentioned, last Thursday night. These documents, especially from the head constable's office, were of great length, and compris ing the most minute details, and the names of all parties engaged. The reading occupied a considerable time. When at length all had concluded, Mr. Evans exclaimed : Thank Heaven, it's over. (Laughter.) Mr. Gladstone: There is one satisfaction, that even if you promote all these parties mentioned in the report by and by, you cannot promote the bugle. (Laughter.) That, at least, must remain where it is. (Laughter.) [We may state that the services performed by the sounding of this warlike instrument were made a prominent feature in the last of the despatches.] The Chairman stated, in answer to a question, that the cause of the fire was scarcely known. The goods in the dock were French goods chiefly, and it was assumed that some package containing matches or other combustible matter must have been among them. So far as could be ascertained there was an explosion in the very first in stance which spread the fire in every direction. They were very much indebted to the militia, soldiers, and to Co'. M•Dougall and his officers for the very judicious assistance which they rendered. A letter was read from Col. Sir Duncan M'Dongall, enclosing a statement by the Quartermaster of the Royal Lancashire Artillery, of injuries received by some of the men in person and clothing. The letter urged that the committee should not allow the loss to be borne by these men, especially as they were about to be disembodied on the 30th inst. The letter was referred to the committee of works to consider how the injuries received by the men might be compensated, and their services rewarded. Mr. Smith moved a vote of thanks to the colonel and officers of the regiment• Mr. Gladstone seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation. - A letter was read from Messrs. Humble, Greyson, and Co., urging on the committee the necessity of providing additional graving dock accommodation. Mr. Evaiis saki there must be a pressure sometimes, as it would be quite impossible to provide full accommoda tion at once in every instance. Mr. Mondell observed that the want of accommodation was not caused so much by the increased tonnage as by the greater size and altered shape and material with which vessels were now built. Iron vessels required to go into a graving dock every three months, if in port, to have their bottoms cleaned. Mr. Rankin thought additional accommodation might be obtained by better regulations of the graving docks. _ The letter was referred to the works' - committee, with a recommendation to the harbour masters' committee to report upon the subject mentioned by Mr. Rankin. Four additional water troughs for cattle were ordered to bu placed respectively in the Nelson, Collingwood, Clarence, and Trafalgar dock. It was agreed that the warehouses and offices should be closed at eleven o'clock this day. Mr. Glads'one called attention to the rough and incon venient state of the pavement on the west side of the George's dock. The Surveyor explained that the committee hal under their charge only ten yards from the sheds, the remainder being under the care of the health committee. A - letter was read from Mr. T. K. Hassall, on the part of the Wallasey local board of health, asking permission to use one of the lifeboat houses at the magazines as a temporary receptacle for the bodies of persons found drowned, whose friends could not be discovered. The letter was referred to the marine committee. A letter from Messrs. Pappiani and Mussabini, urging a reconsideration of the committee's decision upon their application of the 9;h ult., for a permanent berth for their steamers, trading bet ween Liverpool and Turkey, was referred to the harbour—masters' committee. This concluded the general business. WEST DERBY UNION The usual weekly meeting of this board was held yesterday, at the Board-room, Mill-lane. The Rev. W. Badnall the chairman, occupied the chair. The other guardians pres3nt were, Messrs. Shaw, Medea Ir, Abrahams, Harrison, Roscoe, Lunt, Morris, Siddeley, Baynes, Leyland, Wilson, Tatar, J. Eiwath, Walkin son, H. Edwards, Elias, Craig, Callis, Pitts, Wensley, Roberts, Evans, and Bolton. The Clerk reported that he had examined the books of the officials connected with the union, which he had found made up and correct. Cheques to the amount of £206 were granted to the relieving officers, for the relief of the out-door poor, within their several districts in the union. The master of the workhouse reported, that last week there were 635 paupers in the house, since when 19 had been admitted, 2 born, 24 discharged, and 2 deaths. This week 630, and fur the corresponding week of last year, 652. The master of the hospital reported, that last week there were 88 patients in that establishment, since when 10 had been admitted, 15 discharged, and 2 deaths. This week 83, and for the corresponding week of last year, 83. In consequence of a resolution passed at the last meeting, relative to the discharging of several of the medical officers of the union, for non-compliance with the regular orders. Mr. Barrett attended to explain the matter, but was informed that the matter was not then within the jurisdiction of the board, the subject being ❑nder the consideration of a committee. He com plained that several of the missing returns had been left with the lodge-keeper. This assertion renewed the complaint, that after the order of the board, the lodge-keeper had not yet taken his wife home, whom he had deserted, and he was called into the room, when he stated in answer to the first point, that he had never received any document without send ing it to the office of the clerk, and in answer to the latter, that his wife was ill. After some conversation, it was decided that the 'lodge-keeper should obtain a medical certificate as to the state of his wife's health. The report of the hospital committee was received and adopted, but contained no notice of import. A correspondence was read between the Select Vestry and the West Derby Board, relative to the relief of the poor, upon whi,h Mr. Whitty stated that five out of the six of the re lieving officers of Liverpool, declared that there was no cause for such a charge— And it was resolved that the relieving officers should furnish a statement of the cases complained of. Mr. John Davis was elected by a large majority, the master of the hospital, in the room of Mr. Mann. A female, who laboured under the impression that the master of the workhouse had the possession of the body of her husband, who died some years since, and from his malformation was an object of anatomical curiosity Mr. Shaw said that the body of the deceased man was buried in the Necropolis, and he had, no doubt, that it' the woman applied there, she would have the opportu-. nity of seeing the body, but, at the same time, expressed it as his opinion, that she only wanted it to sell to the • profession The hoard multi not entertain the application, they having had nothing to do with the body, more than burying it. After the transaction of some routine business, the board adjourned.
