General Tinker, ALickey Barlow—Knight of .the Soflorin.. Iron and Jug as will appear immediately, was put into the dock, on a charge of laying "murdered" Mr. gePtrailisso Margaret Green and Brigadier Patrick Green, ,son of the lady above named, was placed beside Mr. Barlow, on a charge of having kilt Mrs. Barl6w, and also for robbing her of : 168 3d of current eain .of our .Snrereign lady Queen Victoria. The " head dresses" OAP_ the parties, were not only interesting to look upon, but quaint and unique to contemplate. Turbans were no where when compared with theca, and as fur the bead gear of Parsee merchants, such could by no means be likened to them. The variegated hues of the skull coverings of these cele brateduwarriors would have delighted Sir Joshua Reynolds the ground appeared to he slun-,duck.ed-dy mud colour, with here and there exquisite sanguinary spots —locks of hair peeped out at conveaieut ,places, that gave quite a romantic air to the foregrou.ml, whilst the contemplation at the dexter and sinister hands showed such. tip.ts towards the optics, that made the whole a Plmptasmap;oria.of great won der. Mr... Black appeared on behalf. of. the ,younz Lieutenant- Colonel Qreen, and Mr. Cobb was in the same position as — ;eld-Marshal Barlow Mrs. Commander-in-Chief regal. a... Green t6hl her story in the following words.: —On last Saturday night last, may it be pleasing to your .li.xcelleney, the prisuaa:s sun's mother's brothex was (.Irunk as an owe. So, thereur4the same, his brother's soli vent to the lure ; and then his brother-in-law went to strik. r , s , brc4hcr'a evil; tlitat I 440" nun in, and his brother's son said hi made a blow at him. My brother then said he would go _home, and his little 4ether's son was struck on °the spot, and .shut the door. So, I opgned the door, and says I, "..Tem, you thief run now for yer life, as yer all safe," and then I went down to the end of the nnrt, when I saw Barlow coming out with a big jug in one of his fists, and a soderiNg iron,m the other claw. The firs : .thing he did after that was to give me a crack of the jug on the side of the lug hero, and tumbled me as dead as a giinea pig, and then he melted me away with the soderiag sron on the face and forehead. ",Qh, murder, Mike," s.: ( :ys I, "is that the way you treat a woman ?" and as :Aeon as I said that, the jug flew into.a thousand pieces over my head, and so I was kilt, and that's all. Mr. Cobb: Q,Aite enough, I should think; but how did it all happen, for ,I can't understand it ? Mrs. Green : You'd have understood it, if you got what I did. It all came about his brother's son, and the rest of them. Mr. Cobb : But I could not have understood it, if I were kilt like you. Mrs. Green That's exactly it ; but if you had been murdered as I was, you'd know more about it. Mr. obb : Then you mere murdered ? Mrs. Green : I was, and kilt into the bargain. Mr. Cobb : You're an Irish.w_oman, I suppose? Mrs. Green (with a degree of indignation that was truly krrific) : Do you suppose so ? No, I'te4tot, no more than you ; thank goodness I never belonged, i to anything so bad is that. Mr. Cobb : It was a zeal Irish. row, was not it ? rs. Green looked at the learned adr,ccate, in a manner gat spoke as plain as look could speak,---if I were over there with you, I'd let you know wheth er it was or not, and _th en screeched out —No it wasn't, boy, - could it be wheu i ll was murdered, and my son there at the bar kilt ? Mr. 1, - ,e4:13 : Then they don't kill or murder .each other in Irish rows.? No, they don't, they fight fakly and bravely --$l - ley don't murder one another in this way, with jnys and sodering irons. Mr. Cobb-: _Did you not knock sene of their brains out with a tongs? No, I hadn't a tongs : ; but if I had, and that.l could kasz got at them, I'd iiiv r e opened th e i r skulls like an oyster. Then followed the,exidence of th Xurray's, the Connolly'}, the Burke's, the 11,1'.?.ilamara's, an the Kelly's —curious enc,pgh all of whom stated that the were English. Such a .coplused mass of evider k ee was neve giver in a court before..

Barlow swore 4.?..4 Master Greeu assgsivatc. her, and gobbed her of 16s. 0d.,; and several other pexon swore that Mrs. Barlow was not o& the field of battle at all but "scruching" drunk in a public,house all the time of 11r..Bluck showed, by equally reliable evidnec.

ASSAULT ON A POLICE OFY;CER.—William and Eliza arnell, husband and wife, were charged with assaulting Police-officer 470. It appeared that, on Sunday morning, about two o'clock, there was a great crowd of low women at the bottom of Limekiln-lane. The officer tried to dis perse them, but they idused to leave, and the officer whistled for assistance. No assistance corning to hand, he drew his staff, bat the crowd su ccee d ed in wresting the staff and whistle from him. They then assaulted him, and the male prisoner struck him on the face and thigh with the baton. He had been off duty since, owing to his injuries. The two prisoners were the only ones arrested. Mr. Mansfield fined them £5 each, or three months' imprisonm en t. Th e prisoners were remove d, i n d e f au lt. GAMBLING IN ST.

Mr. Black contended that Ale ground on which th e alleged ga i m i ng was going 'on Tiff rivate property, and therefore could not come under the vqgpx. l 4; act.

On the former occasion Mr. Danson, instructed by Mr. Hobt. Norris, appeared for the bankrupt, an Mr. Deigllton, instructed by Mr, Banner, opposed for the assig nee (Mr. Balmain), who was the bankrupt's late partner. Mr. Deighton urged various grounds of objection :to the allowance of the certificate, particularly as to the deficiency of his cub-hen in partnership with Balmaiu ; which were when Balmin kept the cash, there were also deAciences to a small extent, His Honour said he ought not to hesitate in pronouncing his opinion in this case, where it had been proved that there was a fraudulent retention of monies belonging to the partnership, of which the bankrupt gives no account, and he should, therefore, altogether refuse the certificate. He could not certify that the bankrupt had made a full disclosure of his estate, but there was a higher tribunal where they could have the benefit of another opinion. Mr. Denson gave notice that he should appeal to the Lords Justices, and the amount of deposit was fixed at £35. In re J. 17.

A. MILTON, E:4)., JUDGE. CLAIM FOR COMMISSION. - WATKINS Y. MCDONNELL...-. 71-4,' action was brought by the plaintiff, who is a scholastic agent, in Liverpool, to recover the sum of 43 15; alleged to be due by the defendants, as commission, in con sequence of the I. , .Laintilf having obtained a situation for the defend ant. Mr. Hime appeared on • behalf of the plaintiff, and Mr. Grocat was for the defendant. It. appeared, from the evidence of the, plaintiff, that Mr. McDonnell, the de fendant, called upon him, and signed an agreement to the effect that 'he would give five per cent. commission on his first year's sah,iry, in case the plaintiff obtained a situation for him. Mr. Watkins then wrote him a letter, by means of which he ohtained a temporary situation in the Liverpool Institute, and was afterwards engaged perma nently at a salary of £75 per ate ,um, upon which cotnmi, sion was claimed. Upon the 04r/tiff making application for his commission, the defendant refused to acknowledge the justice of the claim, stating that the situation which he held had not been obtained through him. Tha defendant was examined, and stated that having heard from a friend of his own, that there might be a vacancy in the Liverpool Institute, he was on his way there when he called on. the plaintiff, and told him be was wanting a situation, and also where he was going. The plaintiff then gave him a letter to the head master, Mr. M'llven, and he then got a week's employment, in place of a teacher that was ill. He after wards saw an advertisement in the Times, for a teacher wanted in the Institute, and he put in his application, with a number of testimonials, and was successful in obtain ing a pe rmanen t situation. His Honour said, it appeared to him from the evidence adduced that, the permanent employment was obtained by the defendant's testimonials, among en whieb th e plaintiff ' s letter did not appear to have presented, He could not see th a t th e pl a i n tiff h been e instrumental i n placing the defendant, and he would ad therefore give a ve r di ct for the defendant. he states that the delay is in Landon,.read that he will expedite the maatter by every means in his power .No change has taken place duce I last reported, The following is the quantity of water received during the week ending 14th May, '0359 : —From Rivington, 57,769,685 gals; pumped from , the- wells, 00,09Z801 gals; proportion of Rivingtou to well water, as 57 is to 32. , - The Town-clerl' read a statement relating to people fishing in the reservoirs without •a license. It was asked whether there tould not be a.license taken out for the caretakers to act as gamekeepers? The Chairman thought that right might belong to the landowners. It was agreed that enquiry-should be made and :reported to the committee at their next ineetinz Mr. Bennett asked if the eemmitteehad agreed to try the Rivington water without beiog mixed .with well , water. He had waited from month to month, and it was•now May, and no word of it being tried yet. Mr. Crellin was of opinion that it would be better , to wait for a month or two yet. Mr. Bennett said he wished it tried for 'many reasons, :and he thought it would be well to make the trial. Mr. Crellin asked the engineer if it would be necessary to shift the barrels to make the experiment .and , being answered in the affirmative, he said he thought it would be a useless waste of about £3OO, to please one or two members a the committee. Mr. Ryley had supported the matter when first men tioned, but he would withdraw that support, and he thought it•was only a waste of time to discuss it further. The Chairman said the town at large seemed well satis fied with the quality and the quantity, and he could not see what.benefit it would be to brew a storm, when :that was the ease Mr. Bennett said a storm was ;brewing at the expense that was being incurred. The matter then dropped. This was all the public business. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE TATTERSALL'S.-.-- , MONDAY.

YELLOW BUTTER FOR EIGHTPENCE, KELLY'S BUTTER PLACE, HOW TO PRESERVE THE PEACE OF EUROPE, The aspeet of the Continent Now fills us with alarms, When we behold Sardinia, France, And Austria in arms. Not that we tremble for ourselves, Here in our home sea-girt; Yet still we would the scourge of war • From other lands avert. The skilled n foreign politics Their brains are racking now Peace to preserve in Europe By all means, no matter how. A General Congress they propose, By means of which they trust The various points of difference To speedily adjust. With all respect for such wise heads. I rather think I can Propose a much more simple And a much less tedious plan.' The self-same plan which I propose, When India rebelled,* Which plan was then adopted, And behold the mutiny quelled- Let every one who peace desired To Kelly quickly hie, And him beseech each army With his butter to supply. On tasting which all thoughts of war Within each breast would cease, And every voice break forth in praise Of butter and of peace. And tell me, would each hostile host A whit more glory gain By struggling like " Kilkenny cats." Till tails alone remain ? The brilliant suggestion referred to appeared thus, in June, 157 " In re"—greased cartridges— " The Government should really send to Delhi, " Some Butter from the celebrated Kelly," And we all know what followed. As some uneasiness was felt by the people of _Liverpool, with respect to a continuation of this yellow Butter at Bd., we beg to inform them, we shall have quite enough to meet the Wonand to the 12th May.
