SEPTEMBER 10, 1859. LIVERPOOL .rompf. COURT.yE,TERDAT [.Before Mr. PRESTON.] CHARGE AND COUNTER CHARGE.—A woman, named Mary Reid, was brought up byporce-officer 703, on the following charge :—He said that; about one o'clock in the morning, he was on dutrin - Upper Parliament street, when he saw the prisoner in company with d gentleman who was intoxicated. lie put her away froth him ; when she _Called him aside, and said the gentle man had a large sum of money, and that if he (the officer) would let him go with her,' she would "draw" him, and return mid "halve" with him. This proposal tie indignantly rejected, and turned her - down the :street, when she flew at him,_ kicked him on the shins, and otherwise acted in - an outrageous manner towar ?s 'him. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that the officer beat her, because -she-refused to rob the gentleman and share .the plunder with him afterwards. The prisOner was remanded 4.s.3A . x . tiTING A. POLICEMAN.—Thos. Hodson, a boat man, -was .eharged by. police-bfficer 730 with cOminit ling an assault upon him. The prisoner had been given in - charge in James-street, for being, drunk and dis orderly. He kicked the police-officer while being con-. Teyed to bridewell. He was sentenced to be fined in •:10s. and costs, or to be imprisoned for seven days. PALTRY CUARGE;—Captain Parkinson, master of .the screw-steamer IrOnmaster, made the following charge -against Henry Booth, a seaman on board that ;learner : —The ,captain said, when they were in the port of Malaga.the prisoner was observed attempting to throw over some 24 lbs. of rope to the owner of a bum-boat. The rope was recovered, and the captain accused the prisoner of stealing it. He, however, did not take it before the British Consul at M al a g a . The. vessel arrived - here on Friday last, but the prisoner was not Tgive;lni,;Custody until Thursday evening. Mr. Cobb defended the prisoner. The captain, in cross•;eiamina - tion, adinitted that ho would never have made the charge had he (the captain) not received an attorney's letter demanding the prisoner's wages. As he was so insolent, he thought it necessary to punish him,. and so he gave him into custody. Mr. Cobb addressed the bench on behalf OPBooth, and stigmatised the, master's conduct as unmanly, up-English, and degrading. Mr. Preston stated that the captain's evidence was not so satisfactory as it might be. He certainly treated the prisoner rather strangely ; but there was no doubt the prisoner had something to'do with the rope. He, however, thought that he had been severely punished, but he would put `him down for the present. The captain promised to leave the prisoner's wages with the shipping master. Ultimately Booth was discharged. A STOLEN WATCH.--SINGULAR CASE.—Alexander M'Auley,• an engineer, was brought up on remand, „charged 'kith stealing a silver watch from a "chum," named Duncan M'Farlane. The prisoner and prosecu tor were in Bootle together on Saturday night week, when they got rather tipsy. On Sunday morning, the prosecutor missed his watch, and in a few days he met the prisoner, who acknowledged that he had taken it, and said he had given it to a slop dealer in Park-lane for 245., and that he would redeeni it. He did not, how ever, do:so, and he was given into custody. Mr. Bluck appeared for the prisoner, and acknowledged the taking of the watch. It was, however, not with the intention of stealing it. He also stated that the watch had been pledged with Bernard Harris, 136, Park-lane. , Beruard Harris was in attendance, and examined : He strermously - denied receiving the watch,.but! ackowledged that the prisoner had been to his shop and bought some slops, which h e paid for in cash. The witness was cautioned by the magistrate to be •careful, for he might find him self in the dock on a charge of perjury. An officer was despatched to the shop of Harris to search for it; but, on his return, he stated that he could not discover the watch. The prisoner was again brought up, and pleaded guilty to stealing the watch, and was committed to pri- ion for two mouths, ONE LAD SMESDf No ANOIDER.—Thomas Craig, a lad engaged at some stables, in Oakes-street, off London road, was charged with stabbing a young lad, named Charles Wood, with a knife, under the left eye. From the evidence, it appears the prisoner was engaged in washing a cab, and was also amusing himself with squirting some water over lads who were passing. The brother of the prat ecutor came to him and complained, and he went out to - the prisoner, and requested him to desist. The prisoner, instead of doing so, ran into the Istable, brought out-a butcher's knife, and flung it at little Wood, whicU,struck him under the left eye. Mr. Martin, surgeon !tor' the infirmary, said , he had era mined the injuries , rceeived, and found a severe incised wound, which might-have been done by , a knife, flunk in the manner apse& to by the witnesses. The lad was in some danger; as erysipelas had set in. The p:i soner was remanded tilt Monday, STEALING CLOTIL—Mary Dviry was charged with stealing cloth sufficient to make four Guernsey shirts from the warehouse. of Moses Levy Sr Co., South Castle street. The prisoner was in the habit of working for Moses Levy - & Co., and. when receiving the stuff to make same trousers, she made off with the other pro perty. She graz committed to prism for three months. CIIAEGE or ENtirnaLtmeNr. Henry Finch was charged by Mr. Pitts, currier and leather dealer, with -having, embezzled the sum of £ll 175., the 'property of his master, The prisoner Was collector and canvasser for Mr. Pitts, awl had received the money from Messrs. Humble & Greysor) shipbuilders , an d had not accounted for it. In the absence of the man who paid him the - money, the prisoner was reMatided till to-morrow. [Before Mr. TlVrottilsoN.] PUBLICANS AND BEERSELLERS' CASES.—William Manley, publican, London-road, was summoned fo r "selling drink at half-past eleven o'clock on Sunday night last.

ELEGRAPH IN completed, F3LtNCE.—A letter from Cherbourg announces that the electric wires are now comp which extend along the entire coast from Cape de la ' Rogue to St. Pierre rEglise. These wires all meet at Cherbourg; they extend, likewise, to each extremity of the breakwater. M 'l'Dmit. AT KILIARNET.—A correspondent of the Daily Express, writing from Killarney, states that on Sunday -night last, an " unfortunate" woman, named Sullivan, was murdered behind the bridewell, and quite near to the railway station. The body was discovered almost naked, the clothes havin g been torn off, an d a a handkerchief round the nec k, by which she was choked. POLITICAL DEMONSTRATION HUDDERSFIELD. A grand banquet was given at Huddersfield on Thuri day night, to E. A. Leatham. Esq., M.P. for the borough, " to celebrate the triumph of reform principles in his return for Huddersfield at the last election, and to commemorate his narrow escape from the awkward dilemma in which he had been placed by the bribery and corruption that so extensively prevailed. The banquet took place in a monster pavilion, erected in a field near Bath -buildings. The pavilion was gaily decorated with flags and banners { and in the centre there was emblazoned, in white letters on a crimson - ground, the motto; "Honesty is the best policy." About a thousand sat down to dinner ' and there were a number of ladies gaily attired present, on seats .provided specially, for them.. After dinner about two thousand persons entered by tickets, which had been supplied for the meeting at a nominal charge. This caused the pavili on t o b e d ense l y c r owded ; and as those at the extreme end, opposite to the platform, could not hear some of the speakers, con siderable interruption to the proceedings took place. Matthew Hale, Esq., oceiVied the chair ; and amongst those present were—E.. A. Leatham, Esq., M.P., who sat on the chairman's right ;- John Bright, Esq., M.P., who occupied the seat on his left ; Frank Crossley, ' E s q. , M.P., Edward Baines, 'Esq., M.P., &e. The main feature of the evening was, of course, the brilliant harangue of the Birmingham tribune. The chief burden of Mr. Bright's speech was the necessity for an extensive reform in the laws affect ing the representation of the people in parliament. He mourned over the mis-spent sessions which had passed over his head; and so disgusted was he with the apathy exhibited by the House of Commons on the' great Ties tion of reform, that he felt almost inclined, to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer for " - the only office he should probably ever fill."—the Steward ship of the Chiltern Hundreds. After allading to chnrch-rates, and other abuses which he wished* to see brushed away, he referred to our excessive naval and military expenditure; bathe despaired of any good results from an appeal to the present House of Commons en:the subject of economy in this respect. A notable featurein the honourable gentlemanrs- speech was the energy with which be repudiated the epithet of " demagogue.' lle was ever as ready, he said, to- rebuke the excesses of die people as he was to denounce the errors of the governing classes ; and he contended that when he asked for an extension of the franchise and cognate- reforms, he war only pleading for that, which, in his opinion, would , secure the welfare, permanent power, and grandeur of the British Empire. The assembly. was- also addressed by Mr. Crossley, M.P., and Mr:-E - : Baines,,, M.P. DEATHS OF EMINENT MERCHANTS , OF BAILTI MORE. — BALTIMORE, AUGUST 26.---George• Browns,. aen., of the Baltimore banking-house of:George,Browis and Co., and immensely wealthy, died at his -residence thie morning, at an advanced age. James - Swan, .another wealthy citizen, also died this morning. Bahl of the. deceased were ex-presidents of the 111brchantgaink, at this city. GREAT CONFLAGRATION IN` BIRVITICSIIA,PC—AR ex tensive conflagration has happened. in Bilmaingham, whereby works for the manufacture of perambnLators, fancy baskets, and japanned ware, have bean: entirely destroyed.

Her niobt body-clothes-and the bedclothes were also on fire, and the house Wa& full of smoke, and it-was with the greatest difficulty that he succeeded in extinguishing the flames. She died the same' day in great agony. The fire, she stated,. originated:: by her haNcing struck a match to light her pipe. The, verdict returned was, " Died from having been accidentally burnt.'" —A. young lady, residing with her friends,near Cork, was so hor ribly burnt, on Friday week, that-she expired in a few- , hours. She had .gone into the- kitchen tc.superintend some preserve-making,. when herisght dress,,attraetedhy the flames, caught fire. - Her- piercing scrams brought the footman to her assistance, who endkavoured - to. extinguish the fame, but ineffectually, as„ the poor girl in her agonies rushed from, him, and ran out of the kitchen, enveloped in fire.. Her sister, a: young girl of, fourteen years of age, beium in one of the bedro7ons.ar* hearing the screams, snatehed a blanket from the bedi, ran down stairs with AI thing it over the flames, and succeeded in extinguishing them, but not before the young lady had been ; so, severely burnt as to render all chance o'recovery hopeless ; and after agonising mai' ing, she expired, the , same evening. AN ENORMOUS, GOLD-FIND.---A, gold-digger in .4?cus tralia, who appears to be more than tisusually lucky,,gives the following account of a large mass of gold he and his fellow-workers have succeeded in, obtaining. The intelli gence is communicated to his friends in England in a eater :,_,cc It is the largest calmer amalgamated gold that has ever been produced in the world ; it was tha result of eighty tons of quartz, exactly four days' work,ist it took ten men three weeksto get, it. li(hen the monster cake was taken into Sandhurst it was too heavy to carry, so we placed it in one of the carts, and brother Will, Mr. Sibley, and myself took charge of it. We proceeded to Sandhurst without exciting much interest ; but on our arrival at the bank it began to be known that there was a monster cake of gold to be seen, and before we could carry it into the bank it was crowded to excess, and hundreds were collected round, which entirely put a stop to business, so the manager thought it would be advisable to place it in some window, so that the people could feast their eyes upon it without putting a stop to their business ; so it was transferred to Mr. Jackson's store, and exhibited for two days ; thousands came to see it. The police were called in to keep the footpath clear, but all to no purpose. I.am sure it would have done your eyes good to see it, for it was a glorious sight." THE CRYSTAL PALACE AND THE TONIC SOL-FA ASSOCIATION.—The existence of the Tonic Sol-Fa Society is a curious fact in the musical history of the present day. Teaching music by means of a notation mainly composed of the letters of the alphabet, totally distinct from that in ordinary use, its advocates state that it enables them to instruct and bring forward juvenile and adult pupils in much less time than under the old system. Whether this be so or not, it is certain that the promoters of the new method of nota tion labour most energetically in support of their theory. One result of this industry is manifested in an extra ordinary, degree at the great choral meetings held by the Tonic Sol-Fa Association at the Crystal Palace, where from 5,000 to 6,000 children and others' are as sembled, who perform a variety of choral and part-song music in a manner which elicits the warmest admiration of practised musicians. The annual festival for the present year will be held at the Crystal Palace on Wednesday next, the 14th of September. It has been fixed, at this somewhat later date than usual, that additional preparation may be made for giving full effect to the music selected. From the long:con tinued practice to which the, various schools and insti tutions have been subjected, it promises to be the most pleasing and perfect exhibition of the kind which has yet taken place. The programme comprises several chorales, Mendelssohn's "Lift thine eyes, from Elijah, Handel's " Hail, Judea," from Judas Maccabeus, " Rule, Britannia," and " Sound the loud timbrel," with many other popular pieces and part-songs. Miss Stirling, the celebrated lady organist, will also perform several solos. It is an object with the managers of these displays so to keep a li ve th o i n t eres t o f th e c hild r en, that there should be no flaming of attention on their part. The strictest attention to the directions of the conductor is enjoined. Simultaneous rising and sitting down is rigidly attended to. On the last occa sion a very pleasing effect was produced by the entire mass of children (who will at this time far exceed the number at St. Paul's at the celebration of the Charity Children's Anniversary) rising and fluttering thei r mus i c , books of various colours. As they are arranged in pic turesque groups the effect is very novel and pleasing. As the especial desire of the promoters of the as sociation is to interest the great body of the people in the system taught, the popularity of their meetings is o alit to be upheld by the lowest . possible rate of consequently, no advance is allowed upon theo:dnunitihussi this one i u o a d n l a ; y la s t shilling year 2 9 7 5 7 1 of p e admissionrsons attended to t the e ing palace. in parents large and numbers,frd s of i f .t t h h e t h fi e v e ad thousand fires usannadl cl ; dr a e n n d at as ten th d e preparations which h m a a v y e h b e ee aa n tie m ip a a d; el f i or the ent occasioii, a great day NORTHERN DAILY TIMES THE." LIBERALS " AND BRIBERY. We have come through an ordeal of fearful trial. Lord Derby, to carry the Conservative cause, 'was announced, by the 44 Liberal" press to contemplate the absolute purchase of constituent England. There was a secret fund at the Carlton Club. If you walked the streets, men with the evil eye of Pall-Mall smiled benefi-. contly andoffered gold. Few Could say they had not been tempted. The Premier himself had drawn a cheque upon his bankers for £20,000. The neiv peers hid 'given a handsome consideration for their peerage. Half a Million of money was afloat, doing its corrupting work. Lord John Russell at Huntingdon, said it was so much that he could not add it up. The figurei were so large that Mr. Jam e s Wilson alone could deed with them. .Sir James Graham was the only man who knew the whole particulars: The gentlemen of the "Liberal " press confessed that the contempla tion of politics was at last corrupting even them. There were not wantingsigns 'corroborative even in the heavens. The sun went down in those disastrous days darkened with a sickly gold. Forms and shapes; l/kened to a golden rain, usurped the functions of the moon. Con servatism was pronounted a moral raurrain. The " Evangelical" clergy, it was said, were c',)en active in their parishes, but so monstrotts a calumny &it not live a day. The plague was not stayed; and it was list until the elecqou committees were strati that we could kamsnill ciently how to shudder at "Conservative corrupt : ol4' dr understand how wonderful a human passion was the purity of "Liberalism." The virulence' of the disease wase;per haps, most disastrously felt in Glareester and Bralliirdl. At Aylesbury, where there was- a counter pettion,_ the constitutional candidate wilt , declared cleated, and we were' scandalised by hearinsthat the " Libe-salv candidate, by his , agents, had been pithy of bribery=- scandalised because; when we heard of such things of "Liberalism,' we had another lesson'• in the fallibility a? human infallibility; and openly dititrnen long for thee loiter days, At~ Beverley, where thelletition affected' the.purity of botii. parties, the constitutiOnal candidate obained an acquittal, which it is grevious to say was not f.ellowed up iii' the . case of the " giberar purist.

As already reported, Normington said, as he passed through the crowd in the aorridor, that "he would, tell all about it before he had, done with it," and when he got into the police-office be called Mr. - English aside, and said he had somethingto comm M unieate. r.

The text of his confession we are atpresent unable togive,,lttwe may state its purport. . After;giving an account of hiabeing in com pany with anotherrean, whom he fully deserilses, hestated that the murderous, blows were not struck by himself, but by his companion,;: that he was then distant from Mr. Broughtou a number of yards, and after the attack he refused to travel in company with his, " pal" again. This is taatamount to a confession of his.own guilt, for the stick with which the blows were struck was his, and he is found dealing with the pawn-ticket immedi ately afterwards, or rather the same evening. . The con fession having been read over to Normington, he said it was correetT, Mr. English subsequently gave a descrip tion of the second man to Mr. Superintendent Pollard, of the West Riding police, who at once proceeded to Wakefield and saw Colonel Cobbe, the chief-constable of the West Riding, in relation to the subject. It is said that the evidence against the second man is very strong, and that he is expected to be speedily captured, Funistcit RAILWAY STATISTIC:3.7 , IIIe following de tails respecting railways in France have jhst been pub.. lished :—" The force of the locomotives at work on the railways in France amounts to 460,000• steam home power, working one day out of three, and representing 1,900,000 ordinary horses, or 6,300,000 men, working ten hours a-day. In the wholc‘ world there is, oa,reii ways steam power to the extant of 4,150,000.h0r5e5, and after the completion of the lines now conceded, there will be 7,100,000. The annual distance per, formed by the locomotives: on the, whole globe is 884,790,000 kilometres (iths of a mile each), or 22,1119 times round the globe, an in a few years it will, be 2,293,145,000 kilometres, or 57,329 timesrouncl the earth, and 6,882 times the distance from the earth to. the moon, and fifteen times that from the earth to the sun. Mr. Stephenson, calculating- the, niunber of Passengers con veyed on the English railways, and the sax* o f t i me which results from that rapid mode of travelling, estab lished that the value of the time of a man being taken at 3f. 75c. a day, England profited in one year 50,000,000 f. M. Perdonnet has made a similar calculation, and finds that the profit realised in France is 3 7,500,000 f. The number of persona employed on the French railways is about 55,000, and in the whole world it is eOO,OOO. A great number of other persons are, however, employed, either directly or indirectly, by the lines. The number of those who derive their livelihood in Franee from working on the lines may be estimated at half a minim, and there is about the same number in England. When the entire French network shall have been completed the number will be _nearly :doubled, As to accident, M. Perdonnet proves that railways are of all modes of com munication the least dangerous, and he shows it by cal culations. It results from an inquiry made on this sub ject by the French government that since the first open ings of railways in France, the number of passengers killed, as compared to the number carried, is 1 out of 1,958,555, and that of wounded, 1 out of 496,551 ; and that by the diligences from 1846 to 1855 the killed was 1 out of 355,463, and the wounded 1 outof 29,871. In Bel gium, according to official documents, there was in 131 years one killed out of 8,861,804, and about one wounded out of 2,000,000. In the Grand Duchy of Baden and in Prussia, the proportion is still more in favour of railways, for in six years' working, there had been only one out of 17,5 14 , 9 77 killed, and one out of 1,154,331 wounded." The frequent accidents which ' have lately taken place on the French railways have determined the Minister of Public Works to appoint a commission to examine into the best means of preventing a recurrence of them. It is, nevertheless, probable that the railway returns will show fewer accidents on the French lines than on the English once. During laBt year, on the latter there were 276 persons killqd z nncl 655 more o 4 less severely injured. THE MANCHESTER 'AND LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S EXHIBI- SECOND DAY, YESTERDAY, The show-ground was opened to the public yesterday forenoon, at ten o'clock, and soon after that hour - the company began to arrive in large numbers. The day was beautifully fine. Up to about noon, there was a cantiimous . stream of visitors, and the appearance of the yard was most animated. . In consequence of the great length to which our account of the prizes went yesterday, we were unable, to give a detailed description of the different departments of stock and agriculturni implements. In reference to the display of horses, the crowded appearance of that department of the show, yesterday, testified to its. Superior character. The . fudges stated that at no previous meeting of the society bad the spe.' eimens of this class of stock been equal to That shown on the present occasion. The work horses int particular were admittedly admirable, as were also the butters and roatisters. . The show of cattle wasc equally good, more egpecially as reads that portion of the stock exhibited) which refers to bulls and cows. The specimens exhittied' in this department attracted, and deserved, the laigehest commemtatiom The short-horns and dairy 'Rook were nunierousonti, generally venting, presented at very favourable evidence of the improvement which caul i)e. effected by judieiouti crossing, andlintelligent attentijan fo feeding, as well as 4 breeding.

GAROTTE ROBBERY AT BURNLEY.—A notorious in dvidual, named John Child, alias Tower, was brought up on remand at the Court-house, on Tuesday, charged with robbing John Crowther, of Mendough, in Cliviger, aged 71, on Saturday night last. It appeared that, on Saturday, Crowther had come to Burnley, and had i gone to a beerhouse, in Cannon-street, called the Blue Bell. He had on him a silver watch, with guard, and about twenty shillings in silver. In a minute or two after entering the beerhouse, the prisoner went and sat down beside him. Ie asked Crowther to drink with him ; he did so, a nd then the prisoner asked what time it was. Crowther did not pull out his watch, but shortly left the house ' followed by the prisoner. When a few yards from the door the prisoner seized Crowther, saying he was going the wrong way. He then dragged Crowther into a passage, and passed one arm round his neck. Crowther begged him to spare his life, but he pressed more tightly, until the old man beeanie insensible. When he came to himself, he found his watch and money gone ; part of the guard was round his neck. Information was given to the police, and in a short time the prisoner was taken. Ho had nothing on him when taken. The prisoner W 52 committed for trial. MAINE LAW AND THE LICENSING NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER TifiVING. „„ SYSTEM. The CESAREWITCH RrAxEs, 2 miles 2 furlongs 1.
