The injuriou s e ff ect of theion()f eon: tinned easterly winds upon persons a d vanced in fife, is shown by the fact that the deaths above 60 years of age, since the Ist of January, have been 30 per cent. more than. the average of the same period of the preceding four years; while the deaths at other ages have been fewer in the present than in former years.—The Borough Engineer, Building Surveyor, and the Inspector of Nuisances, reported various particulars of the operations their several departments during the week, from which it appeared that 204 nuisances, complained of by i nhabitants, had been inspected and means taken to r emedy them. 1,671 houses`in th e un h ealth i est dis tricts, containing 5,155 apartments, and 611 cellars had been put under e x a m i na ti o n, with the vi ew o f i mprov i ng their sanitary con di t i on. —l t was s t a t e d that reports had been received from th e L aw -Clerk a n d th e B oroug h ofgrocer by th e su b- comm i ttee appo i nte d on the subject tak street railways, but that no action had y e t been reply t o M r.

He said the present wet had been written eq.ce of the interest whiar had been exeited,in the minci.of the pOlio by thp receit excise prosecutions. If the theory of the prose cutbn was correct, the gnilty parties had escaped though the glorious uncertainty of the law, while the innocent had been convicted by the medical evidence. Ee referred to the Food Adulteration Bill, and stated Mat the present question. was intimately connected with ' that raised by the bill. He thought that the adliltera don was one in which the society should feel an interest, and one ,on which they were well qualified to give an opinion. —Mr, H. S. 44w. then proceeded with his description of the adulterants most commop. in replier, Potato starch was frequently used ; the cells could be distinguished by their being pointed at the thin end. Arrowroot.was also used; its cells were pointed at the thick end. Sago, wheat, linseed, mustard, cayenne, and wood dusk, were also used as 'adulterants, and Mr. Smith detailed how these oo4ld be detected by the microscope.

'he proceedings of the Committee of Works were read, comprising a recommendation to accept tenders for -sheet lead ! cOppet, and block tin, for general purposes. The Committee reported that a letter had been received from ,Ilfr. •Stewart as to the purchase, subject to the approval of the board, of land at Seacombe, under the Works Act, ISSB. BR.OOKLEBANE moved the confirmation of the procediugs. The CHAIRMAN Said ;,t?,q Week Mr. Graves's notice, that he would put the following question to the chair man of the Works Committee :—" If the engineer has altered his opinion respecting the unsafe condition of the Morpeth and Egerton Dock " Mr t Graves was not present that day, but had written a letter to him (the chairman) stating that be hoped the question would not be postponed. He would ask the engineer whether there was any objection to the withdrawal of the indemnity given by ships entering the Birkenhead Docks. The engineer seemed to think that it would not be right to do so. The ENGINEER said there was no change in the position of the Birkenhead Docks to what there was when it was thought necessary to have an indemnity from all vessels going into the Birkenhead' Docks. The outer sill of the Morpeth Dock was exceedingly weak, and there was a " run" under it. Some measures of a temporary nature had ha= taken to stop the-run,-which might, however, increase at any time; and as there was only a small body of water in the dock, a mien leak was calculated to be serious in its consequences. He thought the indemnity should be continued. Mr. BROCHLEBANK asked whether the engineer would be in a position to remedy the defect. The ENGINEER said he could not until the dock was run dry, and to run it dry now would be stop all trade at Birkenhead. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to Mr. Boult, stated that Mr. Stewart had still under his consideration the case in reference to the Wapping Railway property taken by the board. The proceedings were then confirmed. WAREHOUSE COMMITTEE. The proceedings of the Warehouse Committee were read, comprising a recommendation to appoint a boy messenger for Albert Warehouses ; also three clerks and 1 1 three apprentices. On the motion of Mr. Arnold, the proceedings were confirmed. MARINE COMWTTEE. The proceedings of the Marine Committee were read, comprising a recommendation to authorise the marine surveyor to make a survey of the river. 11Ir. Mondel moved, and Mr. Moss seconded, the con firmation of the proceedings. The CHAIRMAN said, had Mr. Graves been present he would have put the following question :—" To the chairman of the 'Marine Committee;viz. : If the atten tion of the Marine Committee has been called to the present state of the Pluckington-bank, with the view of rendering it less dangerous to shipping, especially to vessels using the Queen's Dock.' " Mr. MONDEL quoted from the minutes of the corn mittee to show that from time to time they had been alive to the importance of the Plackington Bank. From time to time the Marine Surveyor had reported vim.", voce to the committee, and there was not any alteration in it to call for any special notice. Thnhank might be much affected by building a wall opposite Nnott's Hole, but he did not think it would be wise to do that because they did not know where another accumulation might be caused in consequence. He had received the follow ing letter from the Marine Surve L y h o e r ip :— 001, May 10, 1860. Dear Sir,—With reference to your inquiries for my report on the condition of P4liCiiill6!oll Bank since August la h st a , t h eg e tV changes t f av h such moment s u s e i for d t a y e o r u m that my moment as to call for any writ ten report. The condition of the bank in August last is shown on the obsinsecrevatliloant % e a 4 v Q e d not appeFe4 0 accorappying plan; the figures in red, enclosed in circles, indicate the height above 10 feet b elow Old Dock sill in 1857, and the tracing shows ire actual condition at the date of my last observations—viz., Bth instszt. The survey taken in August last followed the slirnmer tides, " Which seld om e xceed in effect the mean of the tides, and found the surface of the bank, from Queen's Dock southwards , at a mean level of 6 f e et above the forementioned level or low water of extreme spring tides, with winding gullies from the Queen's and Duke' s D oc k en t rances . The stron g t id es o f t h e s p r ing of the year have deepened the gullies, and have raised some portions of the tank so that the highest part off King's Dock wall now dries 8 feet, and that off Queen's Dock wall 7 feet above the same level, or respectively about 2and 3 feet belpw Old Dock sill. These portions of the bank stand like islands except at very low tides, there being a wind ing gutter between them leading up Queen's Dock entrance scarcely dry at low water, and a deep run between the islands and the sloek walls. The contour of the western face of the bank marks nearly the same extent as before, but towards its south end that wL4lifoymerly appeared as an island now dries right over to the main part of t),,v bank.--Yours truly, Sgseph Mondel, Esq. Nplawy P. PARK& The CHAIRMAN said the statement of Mr. Alondel WAS very sgtkfacOry. Mr. BxocxLEßAxs deprecated questions being - put in that Board which, were ealenlated to cause public alarm, when subsequent information showed that there was no cause for fear. • Mr. RANKIN thought a very small sum of money, 'spent in sluicing and dredging the bank, would improVe the approach to the Brunswick Dock: The CHAIRMAN said he was sure the attention bf the Mgine,Committee would be given to the natter. Letters from Mr. T. M. Mackay (James Baines and Co.), and Messrs. WiLson and Chambers were read. They directed attention to the state of the Pluckington Bank, near the Queen's The ENGINEER feared that Jiredging, would not at all affect the bank. Mr. RAmcw—What 'is the effect of dredging in the Mississippi? Mr. MOribEL 'said, accor ding to the tide, the bank rose and fell four feet. The ENGINEER said the returns showed that fortnight by fortnight the bank -varied greatly in its height. The proceedings were confirmed; and the two letters, above mentioned, referred to the committee. PILOTAGE COMMITTEE. The proceedings of the Pilotage Committee were read, comprising a recommendation "that masters and mates of sailing vessels constantly employed in the coasting trade to and from Liverpool, be admitted to examination on the same terms as masters and mates of coasting steamers." A letter from the master pilots asking that the board would not confirm the above recommendation until they should hare had an opportunity of being hoard before the committee on the subject, was read. Mr. Boult movocl, and Mr. Farnworth seconded, that the proceedings be confirmed with the exception of the above recommendation, whiCh should be postponed for a week. The motion was agreed to. DOCKS AND QUAYS COMMITTEE. The proceedings of the Committee for the Manage ment of the Docks and Quays comprised a recommenda iion to.board down slides in sundry sheds ink the quays of Clarence and Trafalgar docks, at a cost of tl6B ; to remove the Glasgow traders from the Canning 13asix to the south side and east corner of Canning Dock-; and to . give notice for running dry, on the 18th Ane, the Vic toria, Trafalgar, and Clarence half-tide docks: The pro - Ceeaings Nverc, confirmed on the motion of L oc ii e f t ,.

ACCOMMODATION FOR THE COAL TRADE AT BIRKENHEAD. The following letter was read : ' Denbighshire Coal Owners' Association, Wrexham, May 4th, 1860. sit', - At a meeting of coal ow ers held at the WynustaT Arms IlOtei, IN ; rehain, to discuSs the question of do* accom modation for the chipping of coals at Bi4eiiheatVit was itesr4yed,--That the present arrangement's for 'shipping coals arc defective, and enormously expensive, and that the honorary se4retary he vequested to 0.4 t 1 a cjiairman of the Mersey Dock and Harbour Board, urging upon him the neces , sity of adopting the Cardiff method of shipping coal, by means of a high lerel railway and the accompanying shoots. In complying with this request, I would remind you that at present the cost of shipping coal at Birkenhead amounts to Is per ton, and in some cases to more, while at Cardiff the coat does not exceed .14: per ton. This extra charge .of 10d per ton is a heavy jai on Ate 94(4 of coal, and one that spill tend to prevent any increase hi :the trade. The teal field of Denbighshire is of considerable extent,'and the " outpht" of coal could be • iry much increased, and I have no doubt would lie, if better arrangemeuta existed at Birkenhead for despatch of waggons and (Or loading ships. By the present system waggons are flat 44ye malting a trip-to-the:port find back to the colliery. By an lai,proyeq. system of unloading the same waggons might make five journeys in 14 days. This delaY. is - a heavy tax to the coal owiiers, and One' that .only be removed by in4Prove4 arrangements at Birkenhead• coal of this district is particularly adapted for shipment to hot climates, and the .trade would Increase rapidly, if better accommodation were provided at Birkenhead, and the high level System of shipping adopted. I trust your board will take this matter into their' considera . • tion, sad that I shall have the pleasure of hearing from you that the'coal owners' suggestion has been adopted.--I your obedient stryaat, ' , 4.lkgs SPARROW, lion.

With a view, however, to arriving at as satisfactory a solu tion as possible, Mr. Herbert requests you will move the board to depute some duly authorised persons to confer with the authorities of this office upon the question in order that it may be discussed, and an arrangement concluded which may, as far as possible, be satisfactory to the parties concerned.--I am, Sir, your_obedient servant, DE GREY & RIPON. The Secretary, Mersey Bock Estate, Liygpool. Mr. SMITIi htved the letter would result in the adop tion of a plan of defence for the port more efficient than any yet devised. The CHAIRMAN suggested that himself, Mr. Smith, Mr. Hubback, the chairman of the Defence Committee, and the engineer be a deputation to confer with the War Office authorities. Mr. BROCKLEBANK hoped the Committee would report to the Beard before making any agreement. The CHAIRMAN said certainly the Committee would report. He understood that the Board adheres} to their previous opinion. (Hear, hear.) The Chairman's suggestiot was approved. THE DISPUTE BETWEEN THE INLAND CARRIERS. The following letter from Mr. Charles Mason was read : Birkenhead, May 9, 1860. Dear Sir,—Having submitted to the members of the sub committee of my board a copy of Mr. Egerton's letter to your chairinau, dated 4541 041 last, and also the information I have collected with referente'io the subject of t4e letter in question, I have been directed to request the favour of another interview with the Works Committee of your board, when my directors will present additional evidence in support of the company's application for a share of the quay space at Liver pool available for public carriers ; and also statements in sup port of the allegations contained in my previous communi cations, and in reply to 14t, Egerton's letter.-,I am, yours faithfully, CILIRLES Masox. Secretary. Daniel Mason, Esq., Secretary, ' Mersey Docks and Harbour Board. The letter was referred, and it was understood that a deputation would be received on the 19th of May next. A letter from Mr. J. F. Owen, resigning his situation in the treasurer's office, on account of ill-health, and after a servitude of twenty-4ye years, was read and referred to the Finance Committee. MR. RANKIN AND MESSRS. REYN AND CO. Mr. RANKIN said he had. received the following letter from Messrs. Heyn and Co. : Liverpool, 9th May, 1860. Dear Sir,—Referring to the several interviews we have had with you regarding the statement made by you at the Deck Board on the 19th April last, and the documents we have shown you on these occasions, we hope that you will do us the justice to state to the `boaid as publicly as tin charge was made, (and as you have 'in fact already done to parties who have made inquiries of yQII from abroad,) that having received our explanation, you are satisfied that the imputation of fraud made against us is unfounded, and that we have not charged Messrs. Schroders' captains more than we actually paid. We have shown you that the speech you made at the board has been used greatly to our prejudice in foreign ports, and that a garbled translation of it has actually been printed as an advertisement in foreign papers, we une by rivals to us in our business, actuated by not very creditable motives. We trust, therefore, that you will see how necessary it is that you should do all in your power to repair the injury dcue to us.— We are, sir, your obedient servant's; R. Rankin, Esq., Chairman of the Finance Conitnittee of the Mersey Dock Bbard. Hate & Co. The board would remember that at a previous meeting he stated that a claim had been made on the board by Messrs. Schroeder, of Riga, for a return of dues, being the difference between £B3 and £64, the latter sum being the proper charge, sud the former the charge which had been made by Messrs. Heyn upon their cor respondents at Riga. He further said that the officers of the board had made the p ro p er char g e, an d that the overcharge n o co t ncf £l9 was a matter with which the boa r d concerned ; but that it was one which should constitute a question for explanation by Messrs. Heyn to their elients at Riga. There had . been a . garbled report of What be (gr. Rankin) said published in some of theGermau 4 --- ewspapers4 r,Tift Oqt pgft Q#' his speech, stating that thedifferenee (419) had` lioi . been paid to the board, was given, but the latter paFt, in Which he stated that no doubt Messrs. Heyn and Co. could explain, tad been suppressed. Messrs. Reyn had offered to him THE DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1860. an inspection of their books and vouchers ; but he told them that that was no part of his duty. He was merely concerned with the Let that a claim for £l9 was made upon the Board, which they had never received; but from what he had heard, he believed that Messrs. Heyn had satisfied their principals that the charge was a cor rect one, and that it was made up of dock and town dues, and money expended by the captains about the docks in facilitating their business. It was only due to Messrs. Heyn and Co. that he should state this; and he regretted that anything should have occurred to injure them in the eyes of any person. Mr. EYRE EVANS said, whether Messrs. Heyn and Co. were injured or not, this event showed the advan tage of such discussions as this, which tended to raise the morality of trade. Mr. BoULT did not think the explanation sufficiently satisfactory; for iu a previous letter Messrs. Heyn and Co. had insinuated that the balance of the account against Schroeder & Co. had been expended by the captains in bribing dock officials to facilitate their business. He therefore moved, that unless Messrs. Heyn and Co. satisfactorily explained that point, the solicitor be instructed to proceed against them for the penalty consequent upon the act of bribing the servants of the Dock Trust. Mr. ARNOLD thought there was something yet requiring investigation. Mr. RAsixts said he had nothing to do with investi gating Messrs. Heyn's accounts ; all that he had to do was to mention the fact that a sum of money had been claimed from the board for an alleged overcharge of dues, and to show that the officers of the board had only charged the proper sum—i 64. The difference —Xl9 Messrs. Heyn and Co. ought to explain to the satisfaction of their principals at Riga. He believed they had written to their constituents, and had perfectly satisfied them that the expenditure was made, and that it was a proper expenditure, for which they had the receipts of the various captains. Mr. ARNOLD—The proper course, then, for Messrs. Heyn to adopt is to get from Messrs. Schroeder a letter stating that they are perfectly satisfied. The CHAIRMAN—Heyn and Co. say they pay dock and town-duet, and other charges, on behalf of the captains, but the whole has been put under the head "dock and town-dues " Mr. SMITH thought it wrong that any step should be taken in that board which subsequently necessitated an apology. The apology of the chairman of the Fivauce Committee that day was humiliating to the board. Mr. RANKIN said Mr. Smith was very much mis taken if he supposed for one moment that he (Mr. Rankin) was making any apology. If a similar circum stance again occurs he should follow precisely the same Course that he had adopted in this case. He did nothing of the kind as make au apology, but when the remarks he made in that board had been translated into German, after a garbled fashion, it was only due to himself that he should eiplain the facts. Mr. DARBYSHIRE thought it very desirable that the question of bribing the servants of the trust should be most thoroughly investigated: Mr. FARNWORTII said Messrs. Heyn contended that they had paid the £l9 referred to, and that they held the captains' receipts for it, but they also stated that the money was paid about the docks to facilitate the business of the ships. That required investigation. Mr, LOCKETT demanded an i„ 9lf s.t4aAion of tie charge of bribery. Mr. IROCKLEBANIC, said the important question now arose whether the board ought not to give receipts for all dues paid to them. The CnAraNAN said if that were done it would make no earthly difference whatever, because the charges were made out to the party abroad, but the agent here held the receipts in transactions of this nature. As to the question of bribery, he expressed his great regret that shipowners and brokers constantly said there was bribery going or„ bit those gentlemen never would go 'before the committee and expose it. Mr. RANKIN said Messrs. Heyn and Co. had offered to show him their books and other documents ; but he had declined to inspect them, because all that he had to do was to state publicly that that hoard had made uo overcharge. Ali other matter was for settlement between the agents and their principals abroad. Mr. ARNOLD hOped it would go forth to the public that in no way whatever, that day, had the board made any apology to Messrs. Heyu, or to any one else. (Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") The subject then dropped. THE SENIOR HARBOUR-MASTER. Mr. BOUT, in accordance W;th notice of motion, moved That the salary A the senior harbour-master be increased to £BOO per annum, in consideration of his long and very valuable services." After a long debate, Mr. Brocklebank moved, and Mr. Farnworth seconded, that the considgation of the motion be deferred until the board shell ba s e ec37,liderect the whole glie.s4an of the salaries paid to the officers of the estate connected with the docks and quays. The board divided on the amendment, which was carried by the casting vote of the chairman. The votes were recorded as follow : For : Messrs. Arnold, Brocklebank, Evans, Farn worth, Moss, Rank - in, Segar, and the Chairman. Lutuan, Lockett, 14.ondel, Rounthwaite, and Smith, This conclUded the Whole Of the public business, which had lasted nearly three hours. did not mean to deny that the house had been given and that no money had been paid, but he did mean to convey that the Corporation would not take the house for nothing, and those gentlemen, he was sure, would not have given it if they had not in contemplation something of a quid pro quo.

LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT, YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFII.ES.) ATTEMPWiG To . STAIS A CArrAiN.---George Brown, an able seaman, on board the American ship Golden Rocket, arrived here, was brought up by detective-officer Laycock - , on a charge of having attempted to stab the captain of that vessel. Mr. Wilding, the secretary of the American consul, was iu attend ance ; but as the captain was not able to be present, the prisoner was remanded for further inquiry. AN HOTEL PLAIN DERSB---40111 Millen, are spectable,;ook in g person, who said he came from Bristol, was charged with having stolen a quilt and other things, from the public -house of Mr. Henry Deming, Coilqe-iane. It appeared that a night or two since, the prisoner engaged a room in prosecuto,es house, and on Wednesday morning he went out, taking the things, which he pledged for ss. Inspector Horn said there was a number of pawn-tickets tonnd on the prisoner, and the police were of oiliition that the prisoner was au hotel plunderer. There were bracelets and other articles, supposed to have been stolen, found on the prisoner. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and said it was want that made him take the things. He was sent to pri:oa for three months, with hard labour. CHARGE OF SMUGGLING BY A CAPTAIN.---A\ WHIM Young, the master of an English ship, caliet\ the New York Packet, was charged with Laving atcenlptetl i to smuggle 12ilbs of tobacco contrary to ' l lte act, the penalty for Which is £lOO. Mr. Tyndall appeared for the revenue, and Mr. Block was for the defence. An officer prOved having found the tobacco concealed in the captain's cabin, although the latter denied having any there. When it was found the defendant admitted that he had the tobacco 'to giNe to, is fiiends. Mr. Blusk contended that there was no intention to smuggle, and that a recommendation for a reduction of the penalty ought to be given to the revenue board, Mr. Raffles said he could not do less than inflict the full fine, but he would advise a mitigation of the penalty. The tine of £lOO was then paid. ASSAULT ON SHIP BOARD.---Henry T. Naughton, first, and Thomas King, second mate of the ship Evening Star, in the river, outward botnid for New York, were charged for having asaaulte,d named Samuel Adams, who is now in the NOrthern Hospital, not in a tit state to be removed. Mr. Cobb appeared for Naughton. Evidence,was given to show that the injured man went on board in a state of intoxication, and that some dispute arose between him and the prisoner King, when the latter struck him on the head with an 'rep pin, inflicting a serious wound. The fleet mate then interfered, to prevent further hostilities; but, in consequence of the conduct of Adams; the mate gave hind a kick in the back. Mr. Cobb con tended that the mate must be dealt with for a common assault only, AS be at hut interfered to protect the man from the violence of the other. Mr. Raffles took the same view of the case, and fined the mate £2 for the assault, but rernand,ed King for a week, until the result of the injuries yr k Adams can be ascertained. LANIRNTABLI RESTaT C,DIUNIK.-•-,lohn Haggett, a porter in a tee W e ferekelese in Manesty's-laue, and who lives in ,Liesent street:Edge-hill, was brought up by Inspector Deacon, on a charge of having caused the death of his wife. Mr. Pluck defended the prisoner. From the eviaeace r$ a man named Joseph Blackwood, who lodges in the house of the prisoner, it appearedthat on Wednesday night the prisoner went home and found his wife in a state of intoxication. Soule words took place, when he ;vent out, and on his return she was still in drink, and more "" words" took place, when the prisoner gave his wife a push, and ~he fell on the floor and died soon after wards. In reply to Mr. Pluck, the witness said he did not think the prisoner intended to injure his wife. She was an habitual drunkard, but the prisener was a seber man. The prisoaer was remanded until after theinquest. Mr. Bluck said it was at most a case of manslaughter, and he thought of a less degree ; and he trusted hie Worship would take bail for the prisoner. 114. Raffles said he would accept of bail, when the prisoner would be brought up again for examination. THE "FORTUNES", AND OF 11 - ketikßl,) PARKIN maxi, epparsnny /moot sixty years of age, whose face resembled the head of an over grown eel, was brought up by officers Marsden and Redman, on a c harge of haying swindled Caroline Harrison, a married wetnen, living 4t Edge-bill, and Anne Smith, a milliner, resid ing in Great Howard-street, out of a shilling each, under pretence of telling their fortunes. The case caused a good deal of attention. The prisoner resides at No, 1, Bala-terrace, Roscommon-street, and it was stated that he lived 111 excellent style. Marsden said, in cpnseouence of certain letters and communications made to Major Greig, I, along with Redman: went to the prisoner's house, at half -past six, and after a Ideate tune we eicisoiae• Of theee ladies go into the house, and in about half-an-hour. she came gat, when we told her to stop for a short time, In a few minutes after, Miss Smith went in. I followed her, and ran up stairs, where I found the prisoner sitting at the window, and Miss Smith sitting opposite him. Ile had some apparatus belonging to a galvanic battery in his hand, and she had a hold of it too. (A burst of laughter followed.) I heard him tell her to bold it tighf. Hen; he produced a long three-sid s ed piece of heavi glass, a glass egg-shaped, hell, end a geese globa, till solid, the exhibition of which caused renewed laughter. When I ran in, he (the prisoner) pulled this sword of glass out of her hand, and put it between his legs to hide it, (Give% itingleter.) I caught hold of Lim, and asked, why did Y 44 not prOphecy that we were coming to catch you'? (Renewed laughter.) We will tell your fortune for you. "Oh, said he, I don't care a pin about you, for I have been with an attorney, and I don't tell fortunes now, as I only sell them papers telling them about herbs and that sort of thing." I then arrested him, and Mis a Smith seemed in a terrible state about her fortune being told. When we came down, we saw some ladiet crewed in :as and satins come up to the doer, Nell° were going to have their for tunes told; but had taitten up the Prophet, end we promised to tell them his fortune so-day. • (Roars of l etig h tee.)

Kehoe then called Caroline Harrison, a handsome young married woman, and asked her, what is your husband : The witnees lemehed heartily, and then replied, " I don't know." (Great laughter.) Mr. Kehoe : What I Don't you know what your husband is Well, he is no particular trade. Mr. Kehoe : Is he a gentleman, then'? Oh, no, I thick be may be a tailor. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Kehoe: What rlyd you go to the prisoner's house for I Why, i went partly out of curiosity, and paid him a ehilling, and I don't think ie was away.'

Not at all, sir. Then all the prisoner told 'you was untrue? Tes, every word that he told me was a lie from beginning to end. What sort of a house is at Officer Marsden : It is a very elegantly fare nished house. Anne Smith, a bashful looking yeting lady, a milliner in Great Homer-street, said : I went to the prisoner's house out of amusement, I don't know for what efse. He gave rue the glass and then gave me a paper, and I laid a sixpence en a glass plate. Did you ask him to tell you anything I No, for I thought he knew what I came about better than I did. (Laughter.) When I tOoked through the glass, he said it was tieing most gloriously. (Yt;onts of laughter.) Mr. Kehoe m 4 d di l l it riFe i• I don't know, for at that instant the police came in and gripped him, glasses and all. (Re newed roars of laughter.) This was the evidence for the prose cution. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said it was not half the truth the witnesses told against him. The ladies came to him, as hundreds of others did; they used to tease him most wonderfully to tell their fortunes, and what could he do but comply He could not help it, if they same to him. He sold them charms for herbs, said that was all. The two female witnesses here said the prisoner gave than some papers and said they were charms fer husbands and sweethearts. It was proved that ip 1853 the prisoner got three months' im prisonment for telling fortunes. Mr. - Rallies said the prisoner was an idle, silly, and, he feared, a blasphemous old man, and he wondered flow people at this time of day could be fount so foolish as to go to him for toriune telling purposes. Officer Marsden Bald he saw six ladies, all in silks and satins, coming up to his door. Mr. Raffles sent the prisoner to gaol for three months, with bard labour. • (iefc,re Mr. 11.

MR. AND MRS. CHARLES KEAN. THE GAMESTER. • Mr. and M rs . C . K ean, appeared as M r . and 'Mrs. Beverley in Edward Moore's magnificent tragedy of "The' Gamester," at the Theatre Royal last evening, before a fashionable and well filled house. "The Gamester" is, in the truest sense of the 'word, a domestic tragedy. It exhibits a just and pathetic picture of the infatuation and effects of gaming; and not an incident is intro dnced that is not warranted by fatal experience. The language, though written in prose, has all the spirit of poetry—the plot is so artfully conducted, and the interest maintained with such intensity, that every scene heightens the distress, and the catastrophe, shocking as it is, seems to be no other than the natural result of such accumulated misery. The drama presents not a finer picture of domestic virtue than Mrs_ Beverley. that can be imagined of devoted attachment, heroic virtue, and patient resignation, are more than realised. in that incomparable woman. Pressed by the severest trials, she rises superior to them all ; and, too noble to regret the state from which she has fallen, she dares the utmost contempt that poverty can bring ; and beholds it without a tear. The highest species of heroism is patient endurance under adverse fortune, of which the severest privations are not half so bitter as the sneering pity of pretended friendship. The mild splendour of Mel. Beverley's character exhibits in a stronger light the madness of her infatuated hus band. Still we cannot but regret that a mind so formed for virtue and happiness should fall a victim to an exe crable passion, even had it involved no other rni: , erie=, but its own. The mind that is not awakened and improved by an exhibition of such deep interest and importance,—as the Tragedy of the Gamester—must be dead to reason, sensibility, and virtue. The character of Mrs. Beverley, as performed by Mrs. Kean, was deeply impressive —a perfect picture of calm and patient suffering. Her reproach of Stukely, in the third act— " Would that those eye* had Heaven's own lightning, that with a look t_hias I might blast thee'-'-- • was eten with great effect. One of the fines pas sages, as given by her, in reference to her husbatia, was. in the second scene of the third act— " I live but to oblige him ; she who can love, and is beloved like me, will do as much. Men have done more for mistresses, and women for a base betrayer; and shall a wire do less." Mrs. Beverley is a character which Mrs. Ileau has made peculiarly her own. Her acting throughout the entire play was one continued triumph. As a true wife and oomfor .. ter, her personification of the part was per fection. Mr. Kean's delineation erthe Get?kilter is one of his most powerful and successful efforts, and never fails iu exciting the deepest interest in all who witness it. Painful and almost repulsive though the character be in itself, by Mr. C. Kean it is invested with a moral charm, which elevates the spectator to the regions of poetry, while it irresistibly conveys to every bosom a lesson of instruction and warning. We do not envy the man who can retire from such a masterly per formance as that of Mr. Kean's lizverley without a deep and lasting impression that the insidious vice of gambling dare not be trilled with even by the rich and honestly disposed, without running the most terrible risks of ruin in every conceivable form. Not alone the once rooted, always growing, and ov , rpowering passion for the gaming-table itself, blit, above all, the treacherous .and hollow-hearted company which surrounds it, make the gamblers' den one of the most dangerous and fatal snares for the ardent and trustful, who seek plexiurable excitement or delusive gain by the uuballowed art. We think we hear the designing gamester reply to us and say, with the artfttl; and sneering Stukely (Mr. J. F. Cathcart)dov,it moe - " Ay, rail at gaming---'tis a ric4 topic, and affords noble declamation. Go preach 4gist it in the city—you'll find a congregation in every. tavern. If they should laugh at you, tiy to my kor . 4, and sermonise it there : he'll thank you and reform." We would, however, answer with the true hearted Lewsou (Mr. G. Everett)— " And will example sanctity a vice ? No, wretch, the custom of nay lord, or of the cit that apes him, cannot excuse a breach of law, or make the gamester's occupation reputable." An unanswerable retort, well spoken by Mr. Everett, whi f ch, we are happy to say, met with re-echoing applause from the audience. The once happy and prosperous, but now ruined liererky, well describes his own folly when he sags—. What had Ito do with play 1 I Wanted nothing. My winces and my means were equal. The poor followed me with blessings, loye scattered roses on my pillow, and morning waked me to delight—oh, bitter thought, that leads to what I was, bs what lam 1 I would forget both." And, again, after a disastrous night's play, he says to a faithful old servant, Jarvis (Mr. Lunt), sent to lure him from the dice-box — "My wife t my wife! wouldst thou believe, it, Jarvis? I have not seen her all this long nights-4, 'who have loved her so, that every hour of absence seemed as a gap in life ! But other bonds have held me---oh, I have played the boy ! dropping my counAers in the stream, and reaching to redeem them; lost myself !" The ensnared, yet conscious victim, struggling in vain to extricate himself from the bonds of beguilement, again exclaims before his devoted wife— tuim Alk ICI Al ai . • now nag it sunk ine. A vice whose highest joy was poor t o my d omestic happiness. Yet how have I pursued it ! turned a ll my comforts to bitterest pang., and all my smiles to tears. D amned, damned infatuation !" Deeply impressed with hi s wife's unparalleled devo tion, , O k p, gives up every ieW.Ol 413.E1 possessed to redeem him, he resolves, in, vain, tiewever, to abandon his bad habits, and addresses her thus— " Where learnt my love this excellence?' 'Tis Heaven's own teaching: that Heaven, which to an angel's, form has givell mind more lovely. lam unworthy of yoU, but will deserve • you better. " Henceforth my follies and neglects shall cease, And all to come be penitence and, peace ; Vice shall no . more Attract rue with leer charms, Nor pleasure reach me, but in these dear arms." Half awakened to the artifice of the designing knave (Stokely), who plotted his ruin, he says of him— "lie fo un d me happiest of the happy. Fortune and honour cIONVIIed ; and love and peace lived in my heart. One spark of folly lurked there; that, too, he found; and by deceitful breath blew it into flames that have consumed me." Robbed of everything he possessed, his tempters have yet in view another and final step to complete his. ruin. They have only to hint to him that something yet remains which has escaped 114 all r devouring passion. The thought drives him despairingly, on his knees, to demand an explanation of it, thus— " Show me Abe means to save me, or I'll commit a murder here, and next upon myself. Peythee forgive this language —I speak I know not what. Rage and despair are in my heart, and hurry me to madness. My home is horror to nae-, I'll not return to it. Speak quickly; tell Me, if, in this wreck of fortune, one hope remains Naute it, anA be ray Oracle." Ho actually sells his reversionary right to a rich uncle's property and means, and again loses At last Beverley becomes an outcast end - naiduight wanderer, terrified to return to his true wife, and meditating self-slaughter on the darkened streets.

Yesterday, the semi-quarterly transfer of licenses took place in the Sessions-house, Chapel-street, before the following justices:—Messrs. S. Holme (chairman), Alfred Castellain, John Buck Lloyd, John Torr, R. W. Houghton, J. R. Jeffery, J. li, TirUcr, 'and . liChard Mrs. Orfeur applied for a transfer of her license from the house she at present occupies in Redcross-street. Mr. Bremner appeared for her. Some discussion arose upon this case, and a letter from Mrs. Orfeur was read, from which it appeared that her present house is in very he r d conciitiol4; it 44s hecu purchased by Messrs. lfackie and Gladstone, who intend to ereq a bottling warehouse on the site. She applied to Mr. Gladstone for . compen sation as the possessor of the l ic ense, but he reMTe4 her discourteously 444 refused all acknowledgment of her claim. Under these circumstances she applied for a transfer of her license. No notice of the application had been given to Mr. Gladstone. The magistrates were favourably disposed to the applicant, but considered that they ought not to grant the application, in justice to Mr. Gladstone, without his having had notice. They advised her to make a renewed application at the annual licensing sessions. They decidedr case a very he hard one. Application refused. Edward Hughes, late the landlord of the Blue Anchor public-house, Blundell-street, which house has recently been taken down for public purposes, applied to have his license transferred to the new house, corner of Dale street and Hackin's-hey. Mr. Clarke Aspinall appeared to support the application. He said that he was in structed to make that application on the pc of Messrs, Robinson card freston, brewers, litnid-street. The house in Blundell-street was wanted by the Corporation for purposes of publie improvement, and those gentle men having a fifty-three years' lease of the house at once gave it up to the Corporation, not 4104 e without having had any remuneration, but without asking any, He thought those gentlemen, having acted so generously, were entitled to especial consideration at the hands of the court. Having taken a lease of the house in Hackie's-bey they h 44 put Tiughes in as 4 proper tenant, and he now applied for a transfer 9f the licen4 from Blaisdell-street to that houie. • ' • Mr. Flolme—Was there not' a'memorial against the license before ? Mr. Wybergh—Yes, sir ; and it had the advantage of Mr. Aspio...ll's) a4vep4 , :y Mr, Aspivall---4g4, I rout wuer 1-,„`e now a memorial signed by all those occupying houses in the neighbourhood from Exchange-street to Moortields, and further on ; and I have the letter from Mr. Weight man, the borough surveyor, who states that my clients surrendered the Blue Anchor for Corporation purposes, and that they did not even claim any remuneration. Mr. Williams, of the Philadelphia Chfitabers, stood up to oppose the transfer, and handed in a memorial, upon which a questou was raised whether it had not been really taken round for signature, 'and been signed, not for this occasion, but for some time since.—Mr. Allen, of the firm of Stewart and Allen, claimed t o b e sworn, and he depose 4 that he knew for a fact that the memorial was written and signed within a week. —To Mr. Aspinall Mr. Allen said that i he was . the occupier of the house opposite, and which is in the same trade ; be also occupies the tap, which is in ffackiWs-hey. From this memorial, it appeared that there were ebven public-houses and three beerhouses within a circle of fifty yards.—Mr. Williams said he got the memorial :rola Mr. Gibson, hatter, formerly tenant of the house.—Mr. Aspinall said he was instructed to say that Mr. Gibson had offered to become tenant of Messrs. Robinson and Preston for this house. _ _ Mr. Holme, in consequence of what bad been sated by Mr. Aspinall, that his clients had given to the Cor poration a house of which they had a fifty-three )ears' lease, was desirous to say that those gentlemen had given the Corporation nothing. An arrangement had been entered into—a perfectly legitimate one—between the Corporation and those gentlemen, by which the louse was surrendered, tio doubt with a view to the license, but they had given nothing. Mr. Aspinall.—Well, sir, at all events, ahouldthey not get this transfer, they will have been, to use a pirase much used in similar cases, very considerably done. The votes were then taken, aut4 Mr. eunouiced that there were two for and tlye against the transfir.— Application refused, , Subsequently Mr. Robinson, who was in cm, ad dressed a note to Mr. Hobne, calling his attention •o the, language he had used respecting the surrender' d the house in Blundell-street, and asking if he still adiered to the assertion that he and his partner had riven nothing to the Corporation.

Tar BAYONET.—On Thursday evening last a com munication was read to the Society of Antiquaries from Mr. Akerman, their secretary, entitled "Notes on the Origin and History of the Bayonet." Mr. Akerman observed, that he had been unable to verify the state ment that this weapon derives its name trom Bayonne. sue reputw place or its invention. Poltaire alludes to it in the Bth book of the " Henriade." The results of the inquiry niay be thus briefly recited : That "bayonette" was the name of a knife, which may pro bably have been so designated either from its having been the peculiar weapon of a cross -how man, er from the individual who first adopted it. That its first recorded use as a weapon of war occur in the memoirs of r u y geg ue, and may he referred to the year 1647. That it is first mentioned in England by Sir J. Turner, .1670-71. That it was introduced into the English Lardy in the first half of the year 1672. That before the - peace of Neniengen, Puysegur had seen troops on the Continent armed with bayonets, furnished with rings, which would go over the muzzle of the muskets. That in 1686 the device of the socket bayonet was tested before the Preach King, and failed. That in 1689 Mackay, by the adoption of the ringed bayonet, successfully opposed the Highlanders at the battle of Killicrankie. Lastly, that the bayonet with the sock e t was in general use in the year 1703. How THE NAVY EXPENDITURE IS WiaSTED.—The announcement which has appeared, oi the defective state of the gun vessels and mortar boats undergoing a careful survey at Chatham Dockyard, merely described. the condition of thoe Vessels so far as could be ascer tained at the time. that report was written. The survey of the two, mortar vessels numbered 30 and 32, in the first dock has, however, been continued, the result fl.hcrwittg that the statement previously giien conveys but a very modified description of the actual state of these vessels as ascertained fronk.g, extended examina tion of their timbers and frames. Both these mortar vessels were built abont live years' since towards the close of the Russian war, and were constructed by contract at private establishments, without, as it would now . appear, even the slightest supervision on tke part of the Admiralty to insure that, good workmanship. and sound • materials were used. NOtwithstanding the short time they have been MAU, arid, the fact, that they have seen little or no service, the materials of both vessels are fouod so seriously rotten, and the boats altogether so defective, that on the receipt-of-the report made by the dockyard. officia)s directed to survey them, the Lords of the Meniralty forwarded an order to Chatham Dockyard in both the vessels to be broken up, their condition being such as to render them altogether unfitted for any service whatever, Not only are some of the timbers literally marked with " sap," but, from certain. unmis takeable symptoms now exhibited, this fact must have been known to the builders at the time, and yet, extra ordinary as it me t y appear, there would seem to hove been no supervision nor controlling power on the part - cf the Admiralty to prevent the gross deception, and the scandalous fraud perpetrated. The two mortar vessels which have been ordered to be broken up at Chatham Doillaid were 10414 we believe, prouliscuously from the squadron, of that class of vessels, bi t % i n g„ Creek and hauled up at the de4yard, and as the first two selpeted for survey are. found to be so rotten as to, require to be taleu, en. pieees, fears are naturally entertained lest. . the greater part, if not the whole, of that costly fleet of gun and mortar vessels will not, upon survey, pr i ve qually unfit for Nrthei service, : - I • HO/EX-Man liilaiikTa. ________. `• ''''' NoTICE.—AII Shirts made t the Goldeu (Owe Establishment, 18, Berry.stratecire cie. to orderadmae by Liverpool Niedlewomen. d The latest edition.
