Jititt*u times WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1856 THERE are some stories in real life which are too incredible at..d revolting for a novel, and which *infra never be suffered to pollute the columns of a newspaper, if the safety of the public did not require their exposure. Poor Mrs. TALBOT'S case furnishes one of those frightful episodes, and from the universal' interest the TALBOT divorce trials fava excited both in England and Ireland, a brief lautline of the persecu.tion the unhappy lady Aierienced will not be thought out of place, or igtogether unnecessary. 'We cannot pretend to -oat= into a full history of the affair. . We can iiiiitbring under notice those portions of the pro -dings which are of importance to society at pirge; :sum for example, as the loose way in which rentity of accused parties is dealt with, and 3 — . l -A4raoter the . evidence relied ori by the tytruse of - Lords • in, such matters. Secondly, .the irele4tiOn 'of witnesses, whowe testimony is I veteaived by, the Ecclesiastical 'Courts . in -sogfecting the honour % peace, and hap a piness of large 'circles of the community. And, lastly, the extra. -,.ordinary and unpardonable part taken, not by one cr two members of the Irish Church, but five or lig of the Protestant priesthood of Ireland. The terrible tragedy in which Mrs. TALBOT is the heroine does not commence and proceed. like Jihose of our greatest dramatists, in which the victim of a foul plot drOps Walesa on the stage as ,‘Ahe curtain falls. She had to endure the most "'horrible brutality from her husband's servants. .1 , ; 31r5. TALBOT was first insulted by her protector's -vaervants in her own house, dragged from her home a h , d akild, her friends being denied all access to 54 her, and Placed under restraint in the house of a woman who had as many names as a heathen goddess. She was doomed to lose her senses, and be carried away an irreclaimable lunatic in the first scene - of the first act. The h ear t of the wife and,mother having been broken, the delicate mind of a .virtuous woman ravished, it was only necessary to carry away th e wrecked and frantic remains to some safe place of keeping, in order to leave the stage clear for lawyers and divines" of var i ou s degrees. The lady, accused gone raving mad, and, could ,of the criminal act, had not, as matter of course, be produced to defend e it her her own character, or the future happiness of her °ffe P rin g. Mr. TALBOT and his servants— the chief, a convicted male felon —had it all their own way. They - enter the Trish Consistory Court -.-the depository of many frightful enormities — and there, by the aid of hard swearing on the part of Mr. TALBOT'S butler, HALLORAN, the Con vietaxi felon fresh from prison, Mrs. TALBOT is found guilty, behind her back, of h av i ng dig. graced" - herself with - -her husband,s filthy groom. This was the charge, mind, brought against the accused in the Ecclesiastical Court, and it succeeded. This left Mr. TALBOT free to go to the House of Lords for a divorce bill—which simply means, leave to marry a second time—and he accordingly appears in Parliament, but not with the witnesses upon whose testimony he had obtained 2,0001. damages, and his degree in the Consistorial Court. Base servants, whether housemaids, or convict butlers, have a very dubious locus standi at the bar of the Lords, and as the convict was no longer required, ha was permitted to sail from Glasgow a day or two before the movement in Parliament was made. The Protestant clergymen—the friends and acquaintances of the wretched lady, alas !—how we blush at the thought—were equal to the remainder of the work. There were five of them in all—Mr. SARGENT, Mr. M'CLELLA'NT), Mr. KEmmrs, Mr. Coats, and Mr. GAGE—all clergy men, if not vicars. The first of these gentry, Mr. SARGENT, was tha gentleman who was an eye-witness to the commission of adultery by the accident of suddenly opening a door, under the influence of sudden fright, but he swore that MULLEN, Mr. TALBOT'S groom, was not the man he saw in company with Mrs. TALBOT in her husband's drawing room. Nor did the clerical gentleman tell his hearers who the man was. All he could say was, that he wore a gold chain, but he could swear that the woman he saw was Mrs. TALBOT ! Here, then, the identity established before the Ecclesiastical Court was broken up, and yet the Law Lords proceeded without calling the servants, on whose testimony the decree of the inferior court was obtained! There were witnesses of a "higher" order ready to be examined, and to prove Mrs. TALBOT'S guilt, by repeating her own confession. Mr. M'CLELLAND trys to establish the guilt of the accused by repeating conversations he said he had had with her, but which he con tradicts when before the House of Lords, where he is told by the LORD CHANCELLOR that ho is " an " Over zealous 'witness." Here the charge had again broken, when lo I the five " clergymen" came forward in a body to prove their victim's guilt by " her own confession." Now, what v,as this " confession ?" The Protestant public should rnark it well, as it is enough to bring scandal on the whole Church. The Rev. ROBERT PAGE, of the county of Derry, is a cousin of Mrs. TALBOT'S, and has been on terms of intimacy with her, and was her " spiritual" guide for many years, and this is the account he gives Of that lady's " confession," made at the time he, declares she was raving mad ! " I drew up ft form of prayer, in which I put, in " the way of confession, what 1 conceived to be the " state of her case, and I said, you will go down on " your knees and pray that prayer with me." This is the groundwork of the TALBOT divorce—this is the conduct which is going on in society under the mask, the hideous mask of religion. Five clergy- men rush up to the seat of justice to accuse a maniac of a moat abominable crime, and the House of Lord's grant a divorce, in the absence of the evidence given in the earlier portion of the proceedings, without waiting to see the identity of the man or woman proved, and while they were in great doubt as to whether the witnesses before them were not too "over-zealous" to be credited ! The conduct of the " clergymen" who have played so conspicuous a part in this notorious case, we will leave to the public and their Bishops, whilst we simply ask, where is the safety for any high minded, virtuous woman, the peace, happiness , and respectability of any family, where such things can be done with impunity ? Of Mrs. TALBOT'S innocence, every man who has read the evidence brought against her must be satisfied, and that her destroyers should escape the 'punishment due to their conduct, will be long regretted by every honest lover of justice. THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. THE COURT °smarm AUGUST 4 —The Q'ieen and Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Princess Alice, and Princess Helena, attended divine service at Osborne, yester day morning, which was performed by the Rev.

Her paddle wheels made 16 revolutions a minute, and it was considered that 18 revo lutions could be got out of her. Twelve of her revolutions were equivalent to 14 knots an hour, and with 13 miles an hour only she could cross the Atlantic in ten days.

The Liverpool Corn Market is heavy, and the amount of business done to•day was very small, buyers only taking sufficient to supply immediate wants. Wheat declined fully is per bushel, and Flour was 3s the barrel and sack lower. Other articles were also easier to purchase, and Oatmeal was is per load cheaper. In the Manchester Goods Market there has been a buoyant feeling, and a good steady business has been done with prices for cloth from an eighth to a farthing a pound higher than on the last market The whole of the 240,000/ in gold ex the New Great Britain, from Melbourne, was yesterday taken for exportation to the Continent. The sum brought in by the Africa, from New York, is noless than 224,4001, but this supply, which will not be in hand until to-day, is expected to be also sent away, About 20,0001 of it was yesterday sold for the Con tinent The steamer Victory has just arrived at Plymouth, with 10,0001 in sovereigns from Con- stantinople. The arrival of the steamer Royal Charter, from Melbourne, is now daily looked for. The latest advices received from Melbourne, mentioned that her departure for Liverpool was fixed for the 25th of May, and assuming that she sailed on this day, she has now been at sea 71 days. As " settling day" approaches, the English Funds show a slight downward tendency. They opened to-day at a decline of an eighth on yester day's ruling prices, from which there has been no recovery. The closing prices were quoted at 95i 9511. The Money Market exhibits further easiness, since the demand for commercial requirements at this period of the month has passed over, The London corn market yesterday was visited by a species of panic, owing to the splendid harvest weather. Prices were very irregular, and transac tions difficult, but the price of English wheat is considered to be no less than 8a to lOs per quarter lower than on Monday week. In foreign wheat the fall was 4s to Os per quarter, and in flour 5s per sack, and 3s per barrel. Since last Friday 12 float ing cargoes of grain have arrived off the coast, viz., 7of wheat, 4of Indian corn, and 1 of rye. Busi ness in this branch of the market was virtually suspended, and stalest enillel not effPnterl at a eon. cession of 3s to 5s per quarter on the part of importers. _ _ _ The Foreign Stock Market rules heavy.

The report showed that the business of the company had been prosperous during the past year. The freights received in the past year for colliers were 17,6541, and by transporting 113,090/, which, with other items, made up 132,5371 17s 10d, leaving, after the expenditure, the net profits of the year at 39,288/, of which sum 28,3781 received is now disposable for the usual dividend of 10/ per cent per annum. The report was adopted, and the dividend agreed to. In the Railway Share Market business is steady, without any material alteration in prices. Shares of the Riga and Dunaburg Railway yesterday showed great heaviness. The price had declined, at the close of the Stock Exchange, to 3 to 3 prem., hut subsequently a further reduction was quoted. The directors of this company have announced that the statutes are about to be forwarded for confirmation by the Russian government, but that the caution-money of 5 per cent on the proposed capital must at the same time be lodged. For this purpose a call of 41 per share is to be paid by the 20th instant.

CORONER'S IrrovErrs.—Yesterday, the Coroner held the following inquests: --On the body of a youth, apparently about fourteen years of age, whose dead body was brought to the Seacambe Slip, and given up to constable Parkin (64). Two sailors belonging to the steam-tog Iron King found the body in the river. The deceased was not recog n'sed. He was dressed is a barragan coat and trowsers, and dark cloth vest, and striped shirt. This was all the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of found drowsed. It was subsequently ascertained that the boy's name was Joseph Bibby, the son of a smith residing in the Potteries ; and that, on Thursday evening last, the deceased and some other boys were in a boat, when, by some means, he was knocked overboard and was drowned, although every effort was made to cave him.—On the body of John Ileuldsworth, a labourer, fOrty-one years of age, who lived in Kent. square. It appeared that the deceased was very much addicted to drinking. and hardly ever went to bed sober for months past. On Monday morning he went to work, and returned about half-past three o'clock, saying he had drunk a quantity of brandy, that made him very ill. He got worse, and died at twelve o'clock that night. He had often had fits from drink before: Verdict : Died from the effects of excessive drinking.—On the body of John Gordon, twelve years of age, the son of a labourer, residing in a court off Henry Edward-street. It appeared that he used to sell matches in the streets, and on Friday week he came home and complained that a strange boy had kicked him in the knee joint. He was subsequently taken to the workhouse, where every attention was paid to his case, but he died on Saturday evening, of inflamation of the joint, and the jury returned a verdict to that effect.—On the body of Patrick Taylor, a labourer, who resided at a court in Ashton street, who died suddenly whilst speaking to his wife at ten o'clock on Monday night. He had been subject to disease of the heart for some years past, and died in a fit brought on by J that disease. Verdict accordingly. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. SPAIN A despatch from Madrid dated yesterday, informs us that Marshal O'Donnell has addressed a circular note to the Captains'-General and other military commanders, calling upon them to supply to the Government, on or before 15th instant, reports in detail of the political state and condition of the several provinces in which they respectively hold the command. QUARANTINE AT THE RUSSIAN PORTS A despatch dated Vienna, August 5, announces the re-establishment of quarantine in the Russian ports. The same despatch mentions that the Turkish provinces are quiet, and that the Anglo-Polish Legion had been disbanded. THE FRENCH FUNDS PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The Funds closed to-day with the Three per Cents., 70f. 75c. THE FRENCH TROOPS ON THE SPANISH FRONTIER The Moniteur of yesterday announces that Spain being now pacified, the Emperor has given orders to suspend entirely the movement of French troops towards the frontier. The Emperor will return to St. Cloud on the Oth instant. THE EAST MARSEILLES, MONDAY, AUG. 4, 8 P M The Danube has arrived with advices from Con stantinople of the 28th July. The steamer Cale donia has arrived from Constantinople. Marshal Pelissier has left Marseilles for Plombieres. FRANCE. (PRO][ OTTR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY EVENING You will have seen by the Moniteur, forwarded by the early mail, that' Marshal Pelissier, on land ing at Marseilles, received a letter from the Empe ror, informing him that the title of Duke bad been conferred upon him. This leads people to suppose that the Emperor has at last plucked up courage to execute a design he has long been known to contemplate—the granting of titles to his principal adherents, partly to reward their ser vices, and partly to build up a new Bonapartian aristocracy. It is not said what the precise title of Marshal Pelissier is to be : some people guess that it will be simply " Duke Pelissier ;" others that he will be "Duke de Sebastopol." In the absence of political news of interest, peo ple are talking a good deal about the approaching marriage of the celebrated cantatrice, Duprez, with a poor Belgian musician, named Van den Hueven. From her brilliant position at the theatre, her youth, beauty, virtue, and wealth, the young lady might have married many a man of illustrious lineage, but she preferred to wed her lover. The Madrid accounts to-day are not important, but they say that painful suspense existed at Madrid, owing to the government appearing not to know what to do with its victory, and to its vanquished adversaries being full of menace. Espartero had left for Logrono, his country seat. As St. Petersburg news sometimes reach this city sooner than England, it may be well to state that we have letters announcing that Sir C Napier had had an audience of the Emperor, and been kindly received by him ; also, that he had examined the fortress of Cronstadt, and was to be present at some grand manoeuvres of the Russian fleet. A San Francisco letter, in the Independance, of Brussels, makes an assertion which I have not seen in any English journal. It is, that the vigi lance committee of San Francisco contemplates nothing less than the separation of California from the United States, and the formation of it, with Sonora and Lower California, into an independent republic. INDIA AND CHINA MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, AUGUST 5. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Euxine, Captain A. Kelloch, arrived here today, at 4.30 a.m., with the heavy portion of the India mail. The Euxine left Alexandria July 22; Malta, July 26; and Gibraltar July 31. She brings 63 passengers, among whom are the Rajah of Rumpore, Majors Fulton and Graham, Captains Bacon, Hughes, Parsons, and Grant, Lieutenants Godfrey and Parsons, R.N. Her cargo consists of 2,009 packages of silk, 607 sacks of wheat, and 50 packages of general cargo. The Rajah of Rumpore is a handsome young man, dressed in most gorgeous fabrics. The sword he wears is worth upwards of £l,OOO. He visits England on account of some dispute with the East India Company. The Queen Dowager and heir apparent of the kingdom of Oude, with their numerous retinue, were to have come home in the Euxine ; but room could not be found for them on board that steamer, and they are remaining at Cairo until the next packet. The Queen lost a jewel case overboard at Suez, which, amongst other ♦aluables, contained a necklace worth £lO.OOO. Divers ware endeavouring to fish it up from the Red Sea. She pre sented Captain Bla'-k, of the steamer Bengal, which con veyed her to Suez, with 1,000 rupees, and every other officer of the ship with 500 rupees each. She also munifi cently compensated a seaman of the Bengal, who had fallen overboard. She has with her immense treasures, and is going to contest in the British parliament, with Lord Dalhousie and the East India Company, the justice of the dethronement of her son. She and all her suite will arrive at Southampton in about a fortnight's time. The Euxine has experienced fine ,weather homewards, westerly winds having prevailed during her passage between Malta and Gibraltar. During her voyage she saw the following vessels :—On the 27th July, at 4 p.m., saw the wreck of the steamship Spartan on the Cane rocks, and at 7 p.m., a screw steamer standing off, and apparently waiting for fine weather to visit the above wreck. 30th July, 3 p.m.—Brig Chesterfield off Gibraltar, steering to the westward. 31st July—Schooner Maid of Athens, lat. 36.25, lon. 7.20, steering N.

EXTENSIVE FORGERIOS IN THE BANK OF FRANCE A letter dated Paris, Monday evening, announce that an alarming discovery has just been made, that an im mense number of forged notes of the Bank of France, amounting, it is supposed, to the value of many millions of francs, are in circulation. The forgeries are so ingeniously executed that several of the most experienced clerks in the bank were unable to detect them. It was only after a bundle of sus pected notes had been minutely scrutinised by several persons that the minute difference between the false and the genuine paper was detected. It was then found that out of a parcel of 88 rotes 87 were forged. The affair is so serious that orders have been given at th. government offices not to receive notes in payment at all unless they are first marked as good by the Bink. As far as at present known, all the forged notes are of the deno mination of 100 francs. GARSTON LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH. —The usual monthly meeting of this body was held at four o'clock yesterday, in the temporary offices of Mr. Hill, plumber and gla zier, Aigburth, Mr. Alderman Cooper in the chair. Other members present : Messrs. Chaloner, Moss, Chidson, Morris, Watts. Goodwin, Bevan. The minutes of the last meeting were read mad confirmed. The proceedings of the work's committee were read. The Surveyor submitted plans for four additional lamps in Aigburth Vale, which were ordered to be placed there. In reference to a com plaint by Mr. Moss of the nuisance from the smoke of steamers passing his house on the river, the Law Clerk reported that the Board had no power in the mater. The minutes were confirmed, and it was agreed that the Law Clerk should communicate with the General Board in Lon don, as to their powers in the matter brought under their notice by Mr. Moss. From the proceedings of the Finance Committee it appeared that the accounts of the township bad been audited and found correct. This concluded the business, and the Board adjourned. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENGLAND AND AMERICA. The extension of lines of telegraphic communication over the earth's surface constitutes, perhaps, the most remarkable illustration of the successful results attainable by scientific knowledge, when in conjunction with the energy and enterprise of the present day. Twenty years Ago the telegraph was merely a theory' now it is an indispensable necessary, and a matter of every-day use.' We have seen the range of its operation constantly extended from the period of its introduction, until at the present time all the principal towns of America and Europe are linked together by its agency; and the magic wires have penetrated, on the one hand, as far north as St. Petersburgh, and on the other, as far east as Con stantinople. While we write, the submarine communica tion is being extended between France and Africa, in order to unite the Algerian colonies of that empire with their parent country ; and schemes for connecting up in a similar manner our East Indian possessions and the United States with the telegraphic system of this country and Europe are not only matured, but in progress towards a speedy realisation. We now propose more particularly to direct the attention of our readers to wh - at has been done, and is doing, towards the accomplishment of the mighty enterprise that we have last referred to—the construction, by American enterprise, of an electric connection across the broad Atlantic between this country and America, in order to place the New World within instantaneous rapport of the Old. In August last year a steamship sailed from New York to Newfoundland, to lay a submarine cable from the Western coast of that island to Cape ' Breton, the only submarine link, that was wanting to con nect New York with St. John's, a point two days nearer to England than Halifax in Nova Scotia. That effort failed. After an absence of four weeks the steamer returned, having sunk forty miles of cable in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and then been obliged to cut it in a heavy gale, to save the barque which carried it from shipwreck. Undeterred, however, by this failure, the directors of the company immediately ordered a new cable, of improved construction, from the makers iu England. A few weeks since it was embarked from London on board the steamship Propontis, and we have now to' record the complete success of the attempt. The vessel then started from Cape Ray Cove in Newfoundland, at a rate of about six miles an hour, and in fifteen hours had crossed the Gulf of St. Lawrence, a distance of eighty five miles, and landed the cable in perfect order at Ashby Bay, in Cape Breton. Messages are now freely and instantaneously transmitted from shore to shore. There only remains between one and two hundred miles of telegraph to be built on the land, to make the line com plete. The company have about 700 men at work in Newfoundland and on Cape Breton. The line from St. John's to the point in Nova Scotia, where it meets the lines of the American Telegraph Company, is 825 miles. The whole will be finished by the first of September, so that telegraph communication will then be established from New York -to St. John's, a distance, as the telegraph runs, of over 1,700 miles. But the great obstacle still remains—the wide, wido sea! How to cross the Atlantic Ocean is the grand pro blem. A. project has been suegested for getting round the difficulty by following up the coast of Labrador, and then Crossing to Greenland, and thence to Iceland and the Faroe Island, and so reaching Europe by gradual stages. Rut this is an immensely long and round-About way. Besides, the dangeraare increased as you go North. Here you come into the region of ice, which, near the shores, freezes to the bottom, and when it breaks up would des troy any cable that could be laid. The same danger renders it impossible to cross the Banks of Newfoundland, where icebergs often get aground, and where thousands of fishing vessels cast their anchors. There is no way but to choose a deep place off the cliffs of Newfoundland, and north of the Banks, and there plunge boldly in, and swim straight for the coast of Ireland. From shore to shore the distance is 1,640 geographical miles. Can any human power stretch a cable across this vast space, swept by the wild and stormy Ocean ? The first step is to measure the ground —or rather the water. Explorers must pioneer the way. They must get down to the bottom of the ocean, and creep alone its mighty bed, to find what rocks or,- currents there baffis the pathway of the seas. This difficult work has'been partly done already. Three years ago, Lieutenant Berry. man, of the U.S. navy, then in command of the brig Dolphin, was employed by the government, at the request and under the direction of Lieutenant Maury, of th e Observatory at Washington, to make a series of deep sea soundings along this track to Europe. The result was very remarkable. He discovered that here the bottom of the great deep, instead of being broken into hills and valleys, as in some parts of the ocean, was of a very uniform depth. And instead of the enormous abyss of five or six miles, which has been found in some parts of' the globe, it seldom reached a greater depth than 2,000 fathoms. In short this whole distance from Newfound land to Ireland forms a grand plateau, which seems fashioned by the hand of the Creator to bear up this line of intelligence, by which thoughts are to be Sashed from continent to continent. Another fact of great importance was clearly ascer tained—that at the bottom of the sea on this plateau there are no rocks and no currents ! Wherever the lead struck bottom, it brought up, by an ingenious contrivance attached to the fathoming line—an invention of Lieut. Brooke, of the Navy—a portion of the ocean's bed, which was found to consist always of a soft sand. This was first thought to be mere clay or common earth. But when brought home and placed under a powerful microscope, it was found composed of millions of shells, once the habi tation of those myriad forms of life which fill the sea. While living they floated in the upper waters, and as their brief existence expired, they sunk down to these tranquil depths. Here for ages they have fallen like snow, covering with their almost invisible forms every submarine mountain and plain. Their minute structures are perfect, showing that there has been no sweeping of currents, no rolling of waves, to abrade and crush their fragile forms. They lie as they fell, unbroken, in those calm, eternal depths. In this soft ooze may sink the iron chain that links continents together, and there lie undis turbed for ages. The great importance of these discoveries to the success of this enterprise, led the Telegraph Company recently to apply to the Government to have these soundings repeated, with increased facilities for making a complete and accu rate survey. This application was warmly seconded by Lieutenant Maury of she U.S. Observatory, and Professor Bache, of the Coast Survey, who regarded these facts as of great scientific importance. It is highly to their honour that they showed an earnest and enlightened zeal in a matter of such public interest, and it is equally to the praise of Mr. Dobbin, the Secretary of the Navy, th a t he entered so cordially into their plans, and gave to theta the sanction and authority of the Government. The propeller Arctic, which is already known as the gallant vessel which bore Captain Hartstein and his crew through all the dangers of the last Arctic Expedition to rescue Dr. Kane and his companions, has been assigned to the task. She is placed under the command of Lieut. Berryman, who made the soundings before, and whose experience will be of great service. The vessel has been thoroughly equipped at the Na v y Yard for the expedition. All her guns have been taken out, as she goes on an errand of peace, and their place supplied by scientific instruments. She carr i es out over 100,000 fathoms of sounding line, and every, instrument requisite for determining the depth, temperature, and currents of the sea. The Arctic has sailed on her voyage to Newfound land, from whence she will strike directly across the ocean. The proposed soundings will probably occupy two months. The expedition is expected to return about the end of October. Should the result of this submarine survey confirm the present impressions of the route, the cable will imme diately be ordered, and will probably be laid down in June or July of' the next year. While the spirit of enterprise is thus active in America, these lines of communication are, as we have already noticed, being rapidly extended in other parts of the world. The telegraph needs only to pass the Ocean, from Newfoundland to. Ireland, to connect the two great con tinental systems, and to form a chain of communication between all the commercial centres of th e world. Soon, too, the lines of telegraph will strike 'into the heart of Asia, and stretch to India, and even to. Australia. Should this gigantic scheme be successfully completed, it will revolutionise all the inter , ourse of the two hemi spheres. The globe will be, as it were, comp-essed into a smaller compass, and instead of being a bilge array of dissevered continents and remote islands, it will become like one vast human brain, covered all over with a fine network of nerves, along which lines of light will flash and dart in every direction. News from Europe will be pub lished in our papers as regularly as from Philadelphia or Washington; and every morning we may read what was spoken the night before in the House of Commons, or what transactions took place on the Royal Exchang. ; nay, if there be another war in Europe, another siege like that of Sehnktopol, we may receive tidings direct from the field of conflict, and know how the battle goes from hour to hour. The imagination is utterly confounded in contemplating results so vast. Let us hope that when the world is thus brought into close union, and daily intercourse, it may be not to receive tidings of war and blood, but that messages of peace may unceasingly pass from one portion to another of the family of mankind. T t h fu e l un a r C o C r i . - FRIGR'rrtIL DEATIr AT SHEFFIELD. --Sho rtly wksorn b e e s fo ir r s e . t) effi el. i gh eleven o'clock on Monday morning, a fdr d lv e n ni t H o e u e t u t r o r n e d a d a t s o t n h s e , u s i i g lv h er s - t p r la e t t i , n sz or tunate victim of the casualty is a girl named Emma Memmott, aged 13 years, who was employed to assist in the various occupations of the works. A few moments before eleven o'clock she was engaged at a lathe making up some finished articles, when a shaft, which runs underneath the lathe, caught her dress. The place where she was caught was at the coupling point and so firm was the hold which had been taken, that her efforts to disentangle herself were fruitless. She screamed aloud, and a man named Birks, who was at work close by, ran to her assistance. A strong iron bar which had been placed in front of the lathe bad enabled her to withstand the drawing of the shaft, and Birks, who to o k h o ld o f h er , feeling that she was being dragged from hi s gras p, ca lled lustily for assistance, and for the engine to be stopped. In another moment, however, the poor girl was dragged from his arms, the strong iron bar bent, and the body literally twisted round the shaft, which was revolving at the ra t e of 300 times a minute. It was about a minute before the engine was stopped, and th en the mangled corpse was shocking to look upon. Th oug h i t was presently known 'that the girl was dead, y e t th e men who extricated her from the shaft hurried her to the Inliraary, but the attention of the surgeon was fruitless. SELECT VESTRY.-YESTERDAY The fortnightly meeting of the select vestry was held at ten o'clock yesterday in the parish offices, Brownlow hill. The Rev. Rector Campbell occupied the chair, and the other members present were Messrs. Woodruff. Owen, Bairstow, Jackson, Satchel!, Mellor, Taylor, Denton, Syred, ereilin, Whitty, Smith, Critchley and Cooke. Mr. Denton asked whether any reply to the chairman's letter had been received regardimr the measurements by Mr. We;ghtrnan of Messrs. Holmes' contract. The Chairman replied in the negative. Mr. Denton remarked that at the last meeting of the board a gentleman stated that it was in accordance with the wishes of the contractors the measurements were not sub mitted to the board. He should state in justice to those gentlemen, whom he had seen since, that the measurements should be presented to the board. The Chairman said he wrote to the surveyor last Friday, but had received no answer. WORKHOIiSt COM M TTTEB: The minutes of this committee were read. It appeared that the numbers admitted into the vagrants sheds were 280 males, 80 females, and 22 children—in all 382. The number of sick cases in the hospital on the 30`h ult. was . . 481,Ittcludin.;27 fever and 34 itch. The total number of persons in the workhouse on the 30th ult. was 1,981. Mr. Denton moved the confirmation of the proceedings, which was agreed to without dis9ussion. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS' COMMITTEE. The minutes of this committee contained the following— Upon the motion of Mr. Bairstow, - seconded by Mr. Satchel!, the followingminutes was unanimously agreed to :--The chaplain having reported to the committee that the Rev. Richard Doyle-had been speaking to Protestant children upon the subject of religion, and Mr. Doyle having required an investigation, the committee, after a searching enquiry, "came to the unanimous resolution, that as the children were originally recorded as Roman Catholics, Mr. Doyle was, under the circumstances, and according to the regulations then in force, justified in the course he took, and that there is no ground of complaint against him." Mr. Satchell, in moving the confirmation of the proceed ings, said it appeared that the Rev. Isaac Holmes, who was head master as well as chaplain, reported that Mr. Doyle had spoken to Protestant children upon the subject of religion. After a close and impartial investigation, the committee came to the conclusion that the report was not substantiated. At the same time that he was very desirous of giving Mr. Doyle the full benefit of the resolution—indeed, he had seconded it at the committee ; still, it placed Mr. Holrne in rather a peculiar position, and he (Mr. Satchell) was, therefore, desirous that the public should understand the true nature of the case. The Rev. Mr. Holme was perfectly justified in the course he took, because the children had universally attended his services, and regularly received Protestant instruction. Mr. Doyle was also free from blame, inas much as the children were represented to him as Roman Catholics, and he supposed, that in speaking to them he was speaking to members of his own flock. Now Mr. Doyle denied that he had spoken to the children at all— he said that the children spoke to him. Some gentlemen might say that there was very little difference between "tweedledum" and " tweedledee." But in this case there was a very important difference, because it did appear, ou the most close investigation the committee could give, that the children went to Mr. Doyle, and made the state ment themselves. he did not go to them. He had only to add, that Mr. Holmo had done right in reporting the matter to the committee, and that if he had neglected doing so, he would have neglected doing his duty to the committee, and to the children of the institution, over whom, as their chaplain, he was bound to watch with the most jealous care. (Hear, hear.) He wonld suggest, that all matters of importance should be reported, either by the chaplain or by the house steward, Mr. Coates, and his advice to the officers would be, "nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice." Mr. Denton hoped they should have no more squabbles upon the matter. The Chairman said, his impression respectinß the rev. gentleman was, that neither of them was in the least to blame. (Hear, hear.) The proceedings were then confirmed. riv ANCE COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were read. Mr. Woodruff in moving their confirmation said, hit had to call the attention of the vestry to a matter of some importance, which would involve the closing of St- Martin's Cemetery, and the opening of that. at Walton. He requested that the clerk would read a letter which had been received from Sir George Grey upon the subject. _ . _ _ The Clerk read a letter from Sir George Grey, inform. ing the vestry that the order made in council for the closing of St Martin's Cemetery had not been repealed' and must be obeyed. Mr. Woodruff' said the board would perceive by that letter, that it was imperative upon the rector and the churchwardens to cease making interments there, and, therefore, there was no time to be lost in making arrange' ments for interring the dead in Walton Cemetery- They were all aware that some ten years ago; the land at Walton was purchased, and th cemetery was now completed, or very nearly se , He thought they all agreed in the desirability of closing St. Martin's Cemetery • but, whether they agreed to it of not, it row appeared that the order was imperative upon them from the government that no more interments should take place in that ground. Therefore, it would be well that the vestry should make arrangements for the i n ter' ment of the dead somewhere else. If the vestry thought fit, the rector and ehurchwardens were prepared immedi ately to have the dead buried in Walton. In moving the confirmation of the minutes he also moved that the vestry instruct the rector and churchwardens to that effect. Mr. Denton said before the board made any order 0 ' that kind they ought to conside r th e expense of removal from Liverpool to Walton. He feared the removal would be very expensive, and he should like to know what arrangements would be made for that purpose. Mr. Woodruff said whatever the expense might be the vestry were bound to meet it. It was quite certain that holies could not be any longer interred in the town However, Mr. Denton need not have much fe a rs Oil account of the expense of removal. It would involve the cost of an additional horse and:an additional van, probablfi but that was all. Mr. Jackson reminded the board that the prerogative and power of Sir George .Grey in such instances were but limited. On a former occasion, when he enquired how soon the interments would commence at Walton, he was told it would be in a year or two. From this it was evident that there was still some space left in St. Martine cemetery, and he recommended the board to goon makief; interments there until they had time to deliberate upon the course they should take, and consult the public. 11° expressed a strong disapproval of the purchase of the Walton ground, in the first instance, and condemned the ground as unsuited for the purpose, because of it having a clay soil, as well as for other reasons. He contende d that it would involve a very great additional expense--- 50 . much so that where the vestry were now payi ng .elOO f:t interments they would have to pay nearly £l,OOO. He urged that they would be subject to new fees there' according as the existing rector desired to charge, an,t that whereas they were now paying 6d. each pauper, they went to the new ground and paid according to the scale of fees charged on ordinary private funerals at W I; Martin's cemetery, they would h ave t o pay Bs . 6d. person. In addition to that, the toll-bars must be pal: for. He therefore called on the vestry not to take such responsibility on themselves, but to bring the who , ' subject before a meeting of the ratepayers generallf, Although the ground was not suitable for burial purpose s ' he had no doubt that., if they had the power to sell it, thef t might obtain for it as much as it had cos t th em, if 11° more, for building purposes. Mr. Jackson therefor ° moved as an amendment that the whole question b e referred to a general meeting of the parish. The Chairmen said it was impossible for any state' ment to be more utt er ly i naccurate than Mr. Jolt: son's. The payment t o w hi c h h e referred, as amount' ing to 8s 6d, would include the 2s 6d which was rt°,7 charged for the pur c h ase o f t h e land b y the c h ur elt wardens, and would also include the fees to the cler: and sexton. These payment s mus t , th ere f ore , b e deducted from the 8s 6d, inasmuch as they were additie°, to the 6d fee previously demanded and paid at St. Martin: cemetery. He distinctly decla re d th at funerals should 0, be permitted in St. Martin's parochial cemetery 0,4 longer. He would not permit hi s curates to officiate in thili cemetery, for the plain reaso n th a t if t h ey did so they wow. be punishable twice over—they would be committing misdemeanour, and in addition any common infertil e : might sue them in a penalty 0f,.e10 f or every funeral se r a vice they performed. Therefore, a ft er a certain time to V: agreed upon by the churchward ens—for he did not wish t : put the parish to the slight es t poss i ble inconvenience— he would not any longer subject himself or his curates to t' l l penalties he had mentioned for performing the Neel, service there. The Secr e t ary of State had written to t h e churchwardens to say. th a t the order was in force atir, must be obeyed. He th ere f ore now declared that funerals must be discontin ue d at S t. Martin's cemetery. He 4 not say they m us t go t oWalton o' l but he would advise the' ra to go there, b ecause i f they did not do so, where : 0 they go ? They inkht go to St. J ames ' s ceme t er y, but ' 0 addition to the fees, they must pay for the ground there' They might possibly go to the new cemetery in Sm tb ith ;down-lane, b u t th ere they woul d h ave to pay 3s to officiating minister, and to pay for the ground, and Ye t ' highly too. Mr. Owen thought that the matter required much na 014 . 6 consideration, and that it might be worth while to disP°' of the Walton cemetery and buy another. et The Chairman : I am no lawyer, a n d i n d ee d I d o O A know any one who is. (Laughter.) The decisions t i ; so conflicting, that I defy any ma n t o say h e i s a lawie 0 But as you talk about selling thi s l an d , there is ° li person to be consulted in the sale, viz., myself. The fre e e hold of the cemetery is 'vested in me y law. Of court; an act of Parliament c an ta k e it away from . as it can do anything, but I do not know that the l e g's/ if ture will take away my f reehold from me without [tiff having to say a word on the matter. Th erefore do 1!.01. talk so glibly about se lli ng the consecra t e d eeme tery--10 consecrated it is —a n d / tel l you th a t I w i ll not agilio subject Myself, or any o f m y curates, to a p ena lt y o f •Id for any future funeral services. Mr. Denton seconded Mr. Jackson's motion. te Mr. Bairst ow move d that a committ ee b e appo i n t e d take the question into consideration, but subsequentip withdrew the motion. Finally, after a lengthened discussion, Mr. Woodr off withdrew his opposition to Mr. Jackson's motion, wil lco accordingly passed without opposition. The other proceedings were then confirmed. A letter was read from Mr. Hastings, requesting to 11 :. allowed to resign his seat in the select vest r y. The on nation was accepted, and Mr. Woodruff gave notice tiro at the next meeting he would move:the appointment successor. The vestry then adjourned.;
