PRINCE JOHN OF BOURBON, a lineal descendant of that ancient stack. which has so long asserted its Divine right to rule over a large portion of its fellow beings with a rod of iron—of a family whose very name has become almost proverbial for everything that is hateful and intolerable in a Sovereign—of whose blindfold wickedness, and its ruinous consequences, we have recently had so many wretched exhibitions—has stepped for ward to tell Europe that a DANIEL has at. last arisen in his royal house that he, JUAN DE BOURBON, is the man—that to him all the wisdom which was denied to his ancestors, has been at lust vouchsafed in amplest plenitude. Like all who are conscious of possessing great power to . illumine the minds of men, Prince JOHN is not only desirous of setting his light upon a hill that all may see it and admire, but he is prepared to devote himself wholly and unreservedly_ to the practical application and realisation of the grand truths and principles which he alone of all his line has been able to discover, or believe in. This.noble offer the Prince makes in a long and ably writ ten,address to the Spaniards on the subject of the succession to the Spanish crown, published in .• yesterday's limes. This Bourbon Pretender to the throne of Spain has become a convert to universal suffrage. " The.question of my rights," he says, "is insepa rable from the sanction of the people." To the Spanish people, therefore, he appeals. TO the want of a'free and loyal recognition of represen tative institutions, he attributes -all the evils which have afflicted that too frequently distracted country. I n possible means that the Will of the people be known and mani fested, he finds the secret by which all truly con stitutional inouarchs conduct their governments without mutinies or risings or the shedding of blood. This is the only bond, he conceives, • by which monarch and people can be bound together in close union. Recognising the ad vantages of an "entirely liberal system," he desires for his , country a sacred respect, of individual liberty,—the broadest liberty of the press, as the strongest corrective of every kind of abuse,—true equality before the law, and equal t prii,:ileges to all parties,—entire freedom in ace d .Lions, as.the only method of ,rendering the iepre sentative system a reality, = and inthe economical branch" the total abolition of grievous duties and .0 monopolies. The power of a Monarch, says this • politicaL convert, ought to be based upon the rs affection and respect of his subjects. And if all d this liberalty is not enough, this Bourbon is not le h the Prince who would put limits.to the wishes of is the people, which, according to his new faith, is alone the " national sovereignty." And all this .ci -from a genuine Bourbon Prince! We know no parallel to it, except that of the Devil quoting Scripture.". _ Prince JOHN' is quite prepared to hear expres sions • of surprise from those who know best what Bourbon principles are ; and with " noble frank ness" he sets to work to demolish all doubts, and remove all prejudices. He fairly turns round upon, and denounces the traditions of, his family. He tells us that he respects the memory Of his father, but not his principles. He even informs us how he came to be so much wiser than his obstinate and wrongheaded ancestors. Expe rience, the reading of history, and the practical example of that which he has observed every moment in this .4 classical country of liberty," have produced the conviction iu his mind that it is madness to oppose ".the progressive spirit of the age," and that the "Divine Right" has nosigni tieation without " the assent and love of the people." As an emigrant from his infancy he acknowledges to haVe benefitted by • frequent `opportunities of coming into close contact with the Sad" consequences of "absolutism and deceit." Be even argues this point and directs the atten tion of all to the hiStorical prods. In the year 1848 did we not witness the expulsion of monarchs who adhered 'to " antiquated ideas," and who turned a deaf ear to the " just aspirations of their subjects ?" Did we not see them • afterwards return to their thrones amid torrents of blood. Have we not beheld the downfall, one by one, of thrones in Italy, whose occupants would not evade their own ruin when so many opportunities were afforded them to do • so, when so many - Useful and disinterested counsels were given them —especially to the the last out-goer, he of Naples ? On the: other hand have we not seen a kingdom —a small Otte yesterday, but great to-day — governed by a tnaly constitutional king. Prince JOHN or BOURBON proudly boasts of his friend EVICTOR EMMANUEL, and takes credit for knowing shins and his " attribotes,"—having been his com panion in arms and having served under his orders in the -"distinguished brigade of Savoy." • Finally this renegade from " family traditions," " abso utisrri," and " antiquated ideas," ,sees in this great and hospitable " country a Queen whom —he eulogises as a constitutional mon arch, advised 'by responsible ministers; whO are called to that position by the national will ; " and whose strongest support is in that " liberal sTiteul" Which is so much dreaded by "the ad herents of aritiqUated ideas." It is natural, he conclUdes. that one like himself, who has received so itiany lessons in the school of misfortune—who has been a: close observer of many grave wants — who has been able to compare the results of the two conflicting systems for the dominion of the world, should have formed a firm conviction, and he . should now aspire to realise in Spain, the ..omitry of his, birth, those principles which con stitute the prosperity and grandeur of other more fort `mate nations. • Such is the . pleasant and specious manner in • :which .this B6l.TntoN woos Spain and solicits attention to his as pirations to govern hs". Will she listen to his soft and winning " addresses ?" On :the faith of :a BOURBON'S liberal promise s will the Spanish people again plunge their country into civil war? or, content with a fair measure of _prosperity, will they " rather bear the ills they have, than fly to others that they know not of ?" A BOURBON not on a throne is evidently a very different creature from one firmly seated thereon, 2.nd' surrounded by I .plenty of bayonets. But ?, - ithout uncharitably supposing Prince JOHN 13pp-RBoN though he be—to * be otherwise than fully convinced of the truths he -enunciates so forcibly, it is manifest that 1411074 . Jil s own s howing he has no better claim to the throne of Spain than any other man whom the people may choose to reign over them. To he consistent, he must admit that he occupies no higher ground than any other adventurer. He cannot elaith to be the first discoverer of consti filtional liberty;' and he must feel that he adds little to his claiM on our confidence as its honest, advocate and loyal champion in Spain, from the mere fact .of his being Prince JOHN OF BOURBON. "TH E I.ATF ACCIDENT IN THE TUNNEL AT LIME .STZEET. -On Sunday the funeral of the late John Pev;kes, the guard who died in consequence of the iniuries -received on the Knowsley review day in the 'tunnel, at, Lime-Street, took place under peculiar dr l'innistanees. The deceased was forty-six years of age, And was sixteen years connected with the company, and 'was, much respected by ' all who knew him. This was inanifest from the fact that upwards of one hundred 'guards and head porters from several parts of the country, who knew and esteemed the deceased, attended the funeral, and the company not 'only provided them with - l l : s ages , but also supplied them liberally with refresh "ents. There was a procession of the men from the -residence of the deceased, at Greenside to the cemetery, S yaithdown-lane, and when the body arrived at the church the procession opened a t each a ide , and s tood uncovered until the service and burial ended. Such a _nark • of of res p ec t h as scarce ly ever been paid to an official the company, and it proves their liberality and esti mation for dec ease d, wh o has left eight children to mourn his loss. No doubt, as the company has behaved so handsomely already, they will not stop here. el, ral let Low" the Che ;ted ch srs- rere bad pit osts, me acV- the. b:f Lelci nei the. Ind t t to, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. 22. P ARI 4, Sept. Owing to fresh ruptures : of the telegraphic wires, there is no additional. news from Central Italy.' I have nothing to add to what I have already said respecting the alleged differences of opinion between Garibaldi and the Government of Turin ; .I still incline to the persuasion that all will ulti mately be arranged satisfactorily. Whilst the tragedy at Castelfilard was being enacted, there was a comedy going on at Gaeta, which, but for the want of spectators, would be extremely :piquant. Francis H. has abolished the Constitution, dissolved the National Guard, recalled his Ministry, and all in the most private manner. It is even stated—but really the story is only fit for the columns of Punch or the Chunl. vari—that an aid-de-camp of the ex-king has brought all these various decrees to. Naples, and that Garibaldi, far from putting any obstacle in the way of his mission, has placed a carriage and horses at the disposal of the messenger. Whether this anecdote be true or_not, it is certainly a very good one. M. Adolphe Gneronet, the chief editor of the Opinion Nationale, a journal whose sympa thies are very elastic in -favour of the Italian cause in one direction, has just returned from Turin. He was received by MM• Cavour and Farini, and it is to be hoped he has benefited by the interview. The following amiable picture is given in:the Montteur of the character of the deceased Duchess of Alba, the beloved sister of the Empress : . The Duchess of Alba died at the age of 35. Her beauty, her grace, her esprit had made her the arbitress of elegance, the soul of all fetes in Madrid, where she was designated the Queen of Salons. She made use of her empire to solace all who were unfortunate,,to patronise talent yet unknown, and not unfrequentiv to inspire the Spanish aristocracy, whom luxury had not altogether caused to forget the chivalrous virtues of their ancestors, with noble and patri'tic sentiments and enthusiism. The fatigues undergone by `he Duchess; in consequence of the illness of one of her children, caused the first shock' to her health. She Was conveyed to Paris, •in order to consult the ablest physicians, but her matady defied all the resources of science. - This lady, surrounded by all the gifts of nature, a happy trbther, 'an adored daughter, the sister and intimate friend of sovereigns, displayed in her last moments a strength of mind and a resignation worthy of her race. In the midst of her agonising sufferings she never lost her serenity, nor even that gentle cheerfulness which her friends recognised in her. She appeared solicitous only of reanimating the hopes, or rather the illusions, of her mother, whilst she found courage to conceal from her the anguish by which she was racked. She expired with a smile ow her lips, in the arms of her mother, on the 16th of this month, at the moment when her sister, the Empress, was approach ing the capital of our African possessions. One cannot reflect without anxiety on the eflects of this sad news. The glories, the triumphs of the marvellous journey are forgotten; they have deprived the Empress of a dearly beloved sister. The gallant General de Pimodan who sank . under the wounds received Irk him in the attempt to force the lines of General Cialdini, at Castel fidardo; was previously an officer in the Royal Guard of Charles X. He belonged to a family of the Faubourg St. Germain. His family haying claimed his body, the Piedmontese Government hastened to respond to this request, and the mor tal remains of the General were to be conveyed to Turin to-day, and from thence to Paris, escorted. by one of the chaplains of the Pontifical army. This is quite as it should be. I understand that the Count. de Quatrebarbes, who was also formerly an officer of the Royal Guard in the service of Charles X., and deputy for Anjou in the last Legislative Assembly, com mands the garrison of Ancona. It thus appears that the three officers in the Papal army.on whom the chief burden of: supporting the Papal cause has fallen, are all natives of France. The two of whom I have been speaking, being Legitimists, and Lamoriciere a sterol Republican—at least, he was so at the time of the coup (Fetal. A Berlin journal, the Gazette de la Croix, men tioned some time ago a rather mysterious affair which has happened to an aide-de-ea»ip of the Prince Frederick of Prussia. This officer, M. d'Ostrowski—a Pole, judging from his name—had been struck by a conical ball during the military inspection at Frankfort-on-the-Oder, which wounded him severely. The above j ournal attributed the mishap to negligence, but it has since been ascertained, says the Correspondance _Tiaras, that the fact was quite otherwise, and t hat in one of the regiments raised in Poland especially, a great many of the men had fired ball, and that twenty persons were wounded. As a punishment, this regiment was restricted to remain en bivouac until the end of the rnanucevres, and during the three days it was fro confined, the men were placed on a diet of bread and water. Great efforts were made, it is said, to conceal this affair altogether. I see it stated that at the reception recently given to the King of the Belgians in the town of Ypres, in West Flanders, a magnificent bouquet was presented by a group of beautifully-dressed young ladies to the Duchess of Brabant, which was enveloped% a magnificent piece of Ypres late, called Valenciennes, which was more than 1,500 centimetres in depth, and was manufactured by M. M. Duhazon Brumhaiit. The animation I noticed at the Bourse still continues—Renter have risen PARI 68f. 50c. S, Sept. 24. No despatches, containing authentic details of the military operations which have taken place in the States of the Church, had arrived up to yesterday evening. Not only is . the telegraphic communication, as I have mentioned, interrupted, but those by the ordinary means betiveen Ancona and Rome are intercepted by the corps d'armee, whose headquarters are at Spoleto. In presence of such a state of things, it is not surprising that intelligence should be offered for belief from other sources. Accordingly,. it is now reported that a merchant ship which left Ancona on the evening of the 19th, and arrived at Trieste, has brought the intelligence that, up to the moment of. its departure, General Lamo: riciere had not entered the place ; that, however, a certain number of the soldiers of the Pontifical army had succeeded in entering the lines by the mountains in the course of thethat 19th, and that these fugitives had asserted that, according to their e stimate, the Roman troops, in the battle of the 18th, had lost . 1,000 men, amongst whom were 600 prisoners and 400 put liars de combat. In addition to the above, it has been since stated that on the morning of the 18th, 2,00 u men belonging to OP corps of General Pimodan surrendered, from which It iesolis that the total loss of the Roman army in the bloody eng e ag e e r m , engagement of the 18 th w ould be 3,000 men. fuller information which is being expected, will probably lead to a modification of some of these details. Some further particulars have reached me regarding the lamented General Pimodan. He married, three years ago, Mdlle. de Coronel, the grand -daughter of the Duke d'Laval. The de ceased had a very large fortune, and as I have already mentioned, resigned his commission in he French army in 1830. Since that time, he as served in the Austrian arms; but he did as h as been erron eousl y said, fight against his in which he showed of the war of 1 848 ' des DPIIX Moncles, some memoirs cthouttyr enino a t Solferino. He contributed him self to be decidedly hostile to the Italian move ment. The Faubourg St. Germain, the Legiti mist quarter of Paris, is expecting with much anxiety the list of the killed at Castelfidardo and elsewhere, for a great many of its denizens are or were fighting in the Pontifical ranks. It is thought, also, that among the prisoners taken a great many will turn out to be French Legitimists. Latrioriciere's eqnadron of Guides was almost exclusively composed of French/ and the whole have been captured. The rumours respecting the intentions of the Pope are still contradictory. According to some accounts, Pius IX: is farther than ewer from leaving R ome , and he has placed himself un. reservedly under the protection of France —a result which is attributed to OW and entreaties of G enera l G o yon. According to after others, the succe ss o r o f St. Peter, consulting prguinents the Catholic Episcopate, has received it a s the opinion of that body that hi s di g nity as Sovereign Pontiff would be in more safety and in k ee ping if he aband one d R ome; an d it is even sa id that he has gone e far as to have 9better accepted an offer from Queen Isabella to ,accept an asylum in a convent in Mahon, in Majorca. It will, therefore, be safer to wait for the encylical letter which, his 4PlirlM 4 0)93# to issue to the faith .. ful of hii communion for more precise information on this point. I observe that after the combat at Castel fidardo, Gen. Cialdini granted to all the prisoners taken the honours of war, and that he has given them liberty to return to their own country, and to their own families. The General's conduct in this matter is made the subject of the warmest approval. This permission, of course, extends to the Irish. The police have arrested the parties guilty of the sacrilegious robbery at Notre Dame. The principal culprit is an Englishman, name Tem pleman, alias Herbert, alias Smith, and a woman who lived with him. ..__„ . No despatches, up to last night, had arrived here, confirming the rumour as to the allies having met with a disaster in China. LATEST NEWS. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH 1 A.GNETIC TELEGRAPH.) STATE OF SIEGE PROCLAIMED AT GAETA. BOAIBARDAIENT OF ANCONA. MARSEILLES, Sept. 24. Baron Brenier arrived at Toulon, on board the Algesiras. M. Cadore, first secretary to the French Em bassy at Rome, has disembarked at Toulon, and set out for Paris with despatches. According to advices received from Gaeta, the official journal of that place had published decrees constituting a Ministry, under the presidency of Signor Ulloa, and ordering a state of siege to be proclaimed in all provinces where the revolu tionary struggle exists. Another decree cashiered all the officers of the marine as guilty of high treason, with the exception only of those belong ing to the Parthenope, who had come to Gaeta. The same journal had also published proclama tions, adjuring the garrisons of Capua and the citadel of Messina to remain firm against the order of things established by Garibaldi. A decree had been issued by the King, exiling three bishops. • Ancona had been bombarded during nine hours by six Sardinian vessels. The citadel replied vigorously. General Cialdini had invited Admiral Persano to a . conference. In the mean time, the assault was _suspended. TURIN, Sept. 24. General Cialdini has ordered funeral honours to be paid to the late General Pimodan by the Queen's brigade. ITALY. CASERTA, Sept. 21. A few days ago Garibaldi attacked Capua, in der to mask a movement in the direction of Volturno, on which . occasion 200 Garibaldians were put hors de eonihat. The Garibaldians suc ceeded, however, in passing Cattabene. The Nea politans have endeavoured to recover Cajuz7o, but without success. Garibaldi has concentrated his troops on the heights of Volturno. General Tarr is expected to join him, in order to concert an immediate attack against the Neapolitans. A fresh proclamation of Garibaldi has been pub lished, in which. he states' that he will join the Sardinian trOOps at Rome, and will then march upon Venice. _ . TURIN, Sept. 24. An encounter has taken place near Capua be tween Garibaldians and the Neapolitan cavalry. Several of the former were taken prisoners. News have been received from Ancona.

Signor Pallavicini is sent here entrusted with a mission from the Dictator. A Turin letter of the 21st says, that Lamoriciere will surrender Ancona. The arrival of General de Goyon has, it is said, altered the determina tion of the. Pope, and he will not leave Rome. The Herald's Paris correspondent says that the quarrel between the Sardinian Government and Garibaldi has arrived at such a pitch that Victor Emmanuel has determined to proceed to Naples himself. It is known that Garibaldi is easily acted upon by personal intercourse, and this trip to Naples is considered a masterpiece of policy. NAPLES. The Neapolitan. Ministry has tendered its resignation. It is said that Signor Comforti had been entrusted with the formation of a new Cabinet. _ A letter from Naples says, that in consequence of the remonstrances of the Ministry no decree will be issued from the Dictator's private Cabinet, but everything will be submitted to the com petent Ministers. That explanation induced the Ministry to remain in office after their resigna tion had been tendered. LAYING OF FOUR SUBMARINE CABLES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.

THE PAPAL ARMY.-OFFICIAL BULLETIN. 3 - BSI, Sept. 19. In consequence of the battle of Castelfidardo , sines} on thelBth b 7 Lient.-Ge nera l Cialdini, and of the measures which he took in the follow ing night, a body of more than 4,000 men, chiefly foreigners, with more than 50 officers, the guides of General Lamoriciere, 6 guns with ammunition ,and baggage, capitulated on the 19th, and came to Loredo to lay down their arms to Buonati. General Cialdini, interpreting the generous inten tions of his Majesty, has conceded the honours of war to this corps, and officers and men are allowed to return to their respective homes. General Lamoriciere, accompanied by a few horsemen, fled from the field on the 18th, and following the road by the sea through the defiles of Comero, succeeded in reaching Ancona. All the prisoners and troops that have capitulated are indignant at his conduct. Nothing remains of Lamoriciere's army except the troops shut up in Ancona. All the rest are in the hands of the Royal troops, with the exception of 2,000 men dispersed in the mountains. A letter from Ancona in the Paine says, that Lamoriciere's troops, who had been engaged in the minor affairs which preceded the battle of the 18th, inveighed against the cruelty of the Piedmontese lancers, who killed the wounded, and adds, that those rancers are almost all Lombards, formerly in an Austrian regiment. GEN. CIALDINI'S OFFICIAL BULLETIN OF THE BATTLE OF CASTELFIDARDO. Osnro, Sept. 18th. Gen. Lamoriciere attacked my extreme posi tions this morning, at ten o'clock, on the junction point 'between Castelfidardo and Crocetta, lead ing towards the sea. All the prisoners affirm that he had 11,000 men and fourteen pieces of artillery, having added to the troops of Foligno all those of Terni, Oscall, and other places. To support the attack 4,000 men made a sortie from Ancona. These troops attacked us with,great fury. The combat was short, but sanguinary : it was neces sary to carry every point. Many of the wounded used their daggers against our men, who went to succour them. The results of the day are the following :—The junction of Lamoriciere's force with Ancona has been prevented. We have taken 600 prisoners, among whom are more than thirty officers, some of them of high rank. We have taken six guns, among others those given by Charles Albert to the Pope in 1848, one standard, and numerous ammunition waggons , &c. All the wounded, including Gen. Pimodan, who led the attacking column, are in our hands, and a great number killed. The column which made a sortie from Ancona was obliged to fall back,' but I hope to catch some of them to-night: Deserters are coming in fast. The fleet has arrived, and has opened fire against Ancona. CIALDINI.

The broken weather of the past week has greatly impeded harvest operations. The wheat iirthe southern and midland counties was well nigh gathered before' the rain commenced, but in the northern part operations have been seriously checked, the principal part being yet . watarrested. Oats and barley have also suffereq, but chiefly the latter, and the condition of the wheat, already sufficiently bad, seems not likely to be improved. The potato crop, too, in Ireland, which hitherto was doubtful, or not so decidedly bad as in this country, has lately been rotting at a fearful rate, so that prices at Limerick have doubled, and maize has everywhere bean improving in value. , Under these unfavourable circum stances the price of wheat, has generally risen ls. to 2s, per quarter, and the few parcels of good new have also brought rather more money ; yet a contemporary, under mercantile authority, would fain assure the public that a very rainy season has been actnally favourable to an ample yield of cereals, and thus ignore and deny the statements of practical men, whose interests would naturally report an abundance, to lessen foreign imports. Some of the nearer countries, such as France and Belgium, not being abundantly supplied, show a slight reaction in favour of prices; but in the Baltic, at Odessa, and on the Danube, rates have given way under the more favourable advices from England. The same influence is observable in Spain. At New York the excitement produced by fernier reports hfq not yet subsided, both flour and wheat having risen further, with a large amount of busineas transacted, and _good shipments made for Great Britain. 'The capacity, how ever, of the States to send the enormous quantity esti mated by florid writers bas never yet been proved, and should 8,000,000 quarters he imported through thp entire season, it would fully reach the limits of our expectations. It has been resolved to present the freedom of Paisley to Lord Brougham.

A VESSEL RUN DowN ON.THE HUMBER.—On &friday morning a very serious accident occurred on the Ri ver Humber, near Hull. About a quarter past twelve o'clock the steamer Adler, Captain Munster, left. the Hull Docks to proceed on a voyage to Bremer. She had only got a short distance down the Humber—past her Maje s t y ' s ship Cornwallis—when she ran into a fishing smack; She immediately freed herself, and was about to proceed onward, when she ran into a Swedi sh y ac ht , which was coming up towards Hull. The Swedish vessel imme diately sank, and, before any boats could he ce,ot out, two men were drowned. Their names are If. Johan T Olof Baokstrorn, and Johan August Fredrickston, h e vessel's name was Anna B. Celia, and she was laden with iron. Efforts will be made to recover the vessel and the cargo. • TRIAL. FOR MURDER IN SCOTLAND. —At the Stirling Circuit Court, on Friday, before Lords Ardmillan and Neavis, Elizabeth Paton or Morrison was charged with having, on the 21st June last., at No. 57 bridge of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal, " feloniously assaulted James Morrison, jun., her son, a child of about three years of age, then residing with his father, James Morrison, mason, in Laurieston, parish of Falkirk, and with having thrown and pushed him into the canal, whereby he was drowned, or deprived of life, 4nd was thus rnlirdered lisc the said Elizabeth Peters or Mor rison." After a trial, the prisoner was ordered to be confined during her Maesty's pleasure , as it was proved she was l a b o hring under' insanity at the time of the murder. QUEEN VICTORIA AND THE HIGHLAND CH ILD.— The following Simple story illustrates a trait in the character of our Queen which explains much of the feeling of fond regard entertained for her by all classes of her subjects. One year when the Court was at Balmoral her Majesty made the promise to Jenny the daughter of a humble Balmoral neighbour, and who was an especial favourite with her Majesty, "I'll bring a pretty toy for you when we come back next year." The Court went, and the promise was t hou g ht lit tl e more of, at least on one side. Her Majesty that year went to Paris to visit the Emperor of the French, amid all the pomp and state of Royalty and tmperialty, and there was enough in the events of the year generally to drive many others besides the peasant child from the thoughts of the Queen, of Great Britain. Well, next. season came, and with it the Court returned to Balmoral. The Queen, in making her rounds soon called on her little po r td g e , an d w ith a "Now, I hav'n't forgot you," exhibited the promised present. While Queen Victoria was in the French capital, amid all the din and distraction of French State pageantry, she found time to think of her favourite, the little Highland girl on the banks of the Dee, and then and there selected and bought an article to please and gratify the dnsophis ticated little bodie, AMUSEMENTS. LIVERPOOL PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY. We would remind our readers that this evening the Liverpool Philharmonic Society give one of their 'sub scription concerts, at which Mdlle. Titiens, Signor Giuglini, Signor Valsovani and Vialetti will appear, and Spohr's Syn►phany in D will he performed. A good selection of miscellaneous music has been made, includ ing some old favourites and some others of good repute, but not so commonly heard. THEATRE ROYAL. We beg to remind our readers that the second and concluding performance of 'the members of the London Savage Club, in aid of the Brough Fund, conies off this evening at the Theatre Royal. In addition to the gentlemen who have been announced to appear, there will be Mr. G. A. Sala, the author of the Hogarth papers in the Cornhill ; Lieut.-Colonel Addison, Mr. Lionel Brough, Mr. John Brough, and Mr. Andrew Halliday. The bill of fare is a most attractive one, and is sure to draw a large audience. Visitors should be in early attendance, as the curtain rises at seven o'clock precisely. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. To-night " The Cricket on the Hearth," " Where's Piccolommi," and " The Pet of the Petticoats," are the pieces. To-morrow night, Mr. 3. C. Cowper takes his benefit, and it is beyond doubt that every available corner will be occupied. " Louis XI." of itself would draw a house, added to which will be " Where's Piccolomini," and "Faint Heart never won Fair Lady." CLAYTON-HALL-VOUSDEN. It is said that the weather has an influence on our spirits, but, be that as it may, it has a decided influence oh the attractions at Clayton-hall. On Saturday there was a morning performance at the earnest request of hundreds who could not attend in the evenings, and the house was oferflowing. Some beautiful new and mag netic songs are introduced this week, and last night the crowded house testified its appreciation of the novelties by bursts of applause. The time for closing the house draws nigh, and we again advise all those who have not enjoyed the greatest treat of the day to do so at once. MR. AND MRS. GERMAN REED, AND MR. JOHN PARRY, AT THE SMALL CONCERN'-ROOM IN ST. GEORGE'S HALL. A numerous and fashionable assemblage filled the Little Concert-room in St. George's-hall last night, to greet Mr. and,Mrs. German Reed, "and Mr. John Parry, on their return to Liverpool. At the commencement of the evening an apology was made for 'Mrs. German Reed, who, in spite of her best endeavonr4, showed that she was really suffering from a very severe cold, which rendered it impossible for her to do justice to herself in the general performance. We must, therefore, reserve any judgment in that respect. Mr. John Parry was most enthusiastically received, and when he had an opportunity he addressed a few words to the audience, thanking them for their find 'reception and remem brance of bins.. " Here we are again together and alone, after a considerable lapse of time, and with your permission I will sing you one of the Old songs." He then gave his Italian master's singing lessors with great effect. In the second part he volunteered to sing an additional song, in lien of those which Mrs. German Recd was, by indisposition, compelled to omit. ()n this occasion he introduced the old favourite, " Fair Rosa mond," which he sang with all his accustomed humour. He appears aged, but that has not dimmed his spirit or his brilliancy. There is a pretty and novel effect given in the scene at the hack of the stage. The moon !rises in 4 very striking manner. SUSPICIOUS DEATH. INQUEST ON THE BODY OF A CHILD AT BIRKENHEAD, An inquest was opened yesterday by Mr. Henry Churton, Coroner for the district, at the- Market Inn, Birkenhead, on the body of the newly-born male child of Eliza Black, assistant to Mr. Thompson, Fancy Bazaar, Market-cross, Birkenhead. An intelligent jury was sworn. The body .Was ileFed, and D r . Baylis was desired to make a post In-orient examination. No evi dence was gone into, and the inquest was adjourned until Tuesday next, for the attendance of the mother. In the mean time the Birkenhead pcdice officers refused to give us any information. The woman Black is said to be about nineteen years of age, and entered Mr. Thompson's service about four mouths ago. Previous to that date, she resided in London. Her parents are, we understand, residents of Liverpool. On Wednesday last "&lie was confined. The body of the child was found under sitspiciens 4euritstaTiqq on Saturday afternoon. The affair has createa a p o d deal of excite ment in the township. OLD SHAW'S BROW. Thomas Dawson, Esq., S.M., being in possession of the original painting of Old Shaw's-brow, by W.,Herd man, jun., has 0 length ameded to repeated solicitations by the members of the Historic Society to *Ash the same. A limited number of proof copies only will * be printed. It has been lithographed, and the figures drawn on stone, by Mr. John M'Cahey, Senr.; and the subscription list has ham entrusted to Mr. Bowker, 17, Stanley-street. This beautiful coloured print will daily become of greater interest as being a most faithful and interesting record of which is now no more. Con siderable antiquarian interest attaches to Old Shaw's brow. In 1644 Prince Rupert, in his siege of Liverpool, pushed forward his trenches and batteries to the slope of the pros!. The ancient pool, which partly gives name to the town, aim qowed at tide time past the bottom of Shaw's-brow, and was then 200 feet wide. In 1654 its Townsend Bridge was ordered to be repaired by the Cor poration, but was taken down by the same body thirty years later, to make room for alms-houses, and, a cen tury later, for St. John's Church and capacious church yard, And now those alms-houses, and other buildings, have gradually disappeared in their turn, and we have instead an open grand place or roadway, with the Free Library on the left, and crowned with the magnificent St. St. George's Hall on t he ri g h t. ' • u A PRESS COINIPANY FOR LIVERPOOL. TO TEE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. Sig,—.l noticed in your paper of to-day a communi cation from "A Friend to the Scheme" relative to the formation of 4 Press IJ4nlPany ill Liverpool, similar to . those in Manchester and Glas g ow. , Hav i ng given some consideration to the matter, I see no reason why, amongst a body of men numbering from 400 to 500 persons, a sufficient number to form at least one company cannot be found willing to come forward and offer their services. I do not think it has arisen from any want of sympathy with the movement that they have not already tendered their services, but. rather from a lack of inducement and opportunity. You are aware that the members of the profession are engaged later than mechanics employed in the majority of other trades, and it.. would be difficult for them to attend drill in conformity with the rules of many of the corps ; but if a Press Company was formed then the rules respecting attendance could be framed to meet. the general convenience of those joining. In a movement of this kind much would depend upon the amount of support it received, from the •proprietors of large establishments in particular, but I feel sure that the journeyman-printers of this town would hail with pleasure any measure that. world tend to cement a closer bond of fellowship between the employer and the employed, and I think this step would have that tendency. - • Should you be pleased to take a favourable view of the matter, and • resolve upon attempting to organise a Press Company for the town, I feel sure that the com mittee of the Typographical and Literary Institute would willingly permit you to hold any preliminary meetings you may find necessary in their spacious read ing room, which might save much in the preliminary expenses. . In conclusion, permit me to say that, as I consider example far better than precept, and to prove that a m Friend to the Scheme," I beg to offer myself as one of the company; and, from your perSonal know ledge of me, if you should think my pricate services of any use in the preliminary labours, I s h a ll f ee l a pleasure in placing them at your disposal. ---I am, sir, yours, &C., M.

FANCY BAZAAR.—Yesterday, a fancy bazaar was opened at the Assembly Rooms, Great George-street, for the purpose of raising a fund to liquidate the debt upon St. Peter's Presbyterian Church, Great Oxford street. This large room was most tastefully fitt e d up ; and the stalls, presided over by the lady shopkeep ers , abounded with every article appertaining to such an occasion. The following were among the ladies who took part in the interesting proceedings, and their exer tions were well rewarded :—Mrs. George Bell, Brook lands, Aighnrth ; Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Coubrough, Mrs. Elder, Miss Dunn, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Gerrat, M rs . J ac k , Mrs. Lockhart, Miss M'Kenzie, Mrs. Matheson, Airs. Purchase, Mrs. Ritchie, Mrs. Ross, Mrs. Waddell, Mrs. M'Connall, and Miss Grindlay. There was also a refreshment stall, presided over by Miss Avyi e, Mi ss Morrison, and Miss Taylor, which was well patronised. Indeed, in every department, the fair ladies vied with each other in pressing their wares upon the visitors. The bazaar will be again opened this day and to-morrow. ST. PETER'S CATILOLIC POOR SCHOOLS.... T A concert. was given last night, at the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson street, in aid of the funds of the above schools,—the principal artistes being Miss Wynne, Mrs. Searisbrick, Mr. Graham, and Mr. Scarisbrick, assisted by members of the Vocal Union. The house was crowded in every you to guess,' , part. Miss Wynne (pupil of Mrs. Scarisbrick) sun.) , " Truth in absence," " I leav e and " Kate O'Neen," "Come where my love lies dreaming," and was encored in the two former. Mrs. Scarisbrick's singing of "Oh, Erin, my country," and a new song, (first time,) written and composed ;for her by Mr. H. Lawson, of this town, received a merited encore. The last song was a very pretty melody. Mr. Scarisbrick pleased the audience by singing some of his comic songs. Several glees and part songs were given by members of the Vocal Union. Mr. Lawson played two solos on the violin, which were redemandeci, and the task of accom-. • panyist fell into the Ale hands of Mr. 11. V. Lewis. SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL IN FOREIGN PARTS. Last night the annual meeting of the Liverpool Auxiliary of this excellent society was held in the Lec ture-hall of the Collegiate Institution, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of the diocese in the chair. There was a numerous and respectable attendance, and . a large number of the local clergy occupied the platform. The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. G. W. Warr, the secretary. • The Right Rev. CHAIRMAN said it was scarcely-neces sary for him to say that he felt the highest interest in the proceedings and success of this society ; that it deeply gratified him to see increasing, year after year, the number of churches in which sermons had been preached on behalf of that society. There were in the arch deaconry of Liverpool eighty churches in which sermons 'were preached on behalf of the society. The Right Rev. Prelate, in very graceful terms, then spoke a few words of welcome and introduction for the severa: speakers who were to address the meeting. The report had been printed, and, therefore, was not read as usual to the meeting; but from a copy w hi c h we obtained, it appears that the total number of mis sionaries maintained, in whole or in part, by the society is 414. In addition to this list of clergy, the number of divinity students, catechists, and schoolmasters main tained by the society is above 700. • The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of MA.URMUS proposed the first resolution, which was to the effect, that the pecu liarclaims of this venerable society upon our prayers and alms having been more responded to during the past year than during the 160 years of its existence, the meeting devoutly recognise the hand of God in a fact so encouraging, and again commended the great cause to those who would do a•ood to all men, especially to those of the household of faith. In the Island of Mauritius, he said, there were only about 1,500 residents of European origin. There were, however, between 15,000 and 16,000 seamen, who passed through that port during a year, for whom nothing previously was done, bat for whom there was now a floating church, and the regular services of a minister. There was another and a very numerous class for whom they had to take care, consisting of ex-apprentices, who had mostly come from Africa, and of whom there were about 40,000 in the island. For -these they were in need of churches, ministers, and school-masters. Then there were between 7,060 and 8,000 who came to them from the island of Mailagascar, some having learned Chris tianity there, Nit some pf whom were Pagans. Another large element of the population consisted of the Indians, for, although the Mauritius was only 40 miles by 30 in extent, they had there not less than 201,879 East Indians, or more than double the native population of New Zealand. These came from every part of India, some. of them never having heard the Gospel before ; and, one circumstance of the greatest inte rest in connection with this was the fact that caste— which had beer) such aq impediment to the spread of Christianity—was more easily broken down in the, Mauritius than in India; and this was of the more importance; from so many again returning to India: The right rev. prelate then related a variety of interest ing anecdotes as to missionary effort in the island§ lying off Mauritius, and in more remote parts of the Indian Ocean. In one of these, an enlightened native had actually built & (dwelt, in the hope that some day a 'missionary would be sent. The right rev. prelate con eluded by an eloquent appeal for continued and extended support to the society. Think, lie said, how immense was the field, how varied the populations to be affected by the work ; and by giving to its funds as God had blessed us, we should best show the sincerity of our prayers when we asked God to extend his kingdom upon earth, and that. he should make his saving faith known amongst all' nations. (Applause.) The Rev. Dr. Flusters HRSSF.Y, of Kensington, London, seconded the resolution. He said that from the facts which had been laid before them by the Right Rev. Lord Bishop of Mauritius, they. would at once see the advantage of the episcopate in the British colonies. They could now send out men who were not only able to superintend missionaries, but who could 'at the same time pass from one %field to another and appoint new men. From what had been laid before them he also trusted that all present would resolve to do something. It was a great privilege to be able to advance in any way the good cause ; the best of all the ways in which that advancement could be pa l * was by training up our sons and sending them out as missionaries. There was no place from which so many went out to the British colonies as from this port, and Liverpool should therefore take the most part in providing for the spiritual wants of those colonies. He was glad to say that the emigrants were not entirely neglected while in Liverpool, for Mr. Welsh laboured amongst them, and it was his duty to go amongst them before their departure, so that if they had no religious books, they could be provided with Bibles and Testaments and tracts. Tn order tq fuily carry out tbia objects ot the society, more extended fonds would be necessary; at present; he estimated that the society had about £116,430, but of this £75,000 would he required to keep up the present missionary establishments, so that there was not a very large margin for future extensions of their operations. The resolution was then put, and oartig unanimously. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of LABUAN next addressed the meeting. He -referred to the mission in Borneo, and spoke of tlip itapcatanoe of the work which was goipg 04 in that colßny. 4ealting of Sir Jaines himm ro Brooke, go health u eheosat ai. id ag he n had 'spent all upon hi s Di o cese, and no o.W in such a state th a t it W Rat at for His nephews, however, were well carrying out the work which he had begun. There was a great deal which Christianity had to contend with, particularly with Mahommedanism, which was lately rapidly walking over the; Eastern Archipelago. His lordship concluded by proposing the following motion:— " That the new openings for missionary enternr* which haVe of late been Eroyiclentially opened appear as a Divinely appointe 4poititniiy for extending the Kingdom of Christ among nations among ehom the name of Christ is still unknown, and that prayers should he offered without ceasing that the Lord of the harvest may send out labourers into his harvest," The Very Rev, the Dean of Ely seconded the motion, which was put and carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman, which, '505 carried by acclamation, follolled h,lie benediction, terminated the proceedings. THE WATER COMMITTEE. The usual weekly meeting of this committee was held yesterday at the Town Hall. Mr. Hodgsoß presided: The other members present were, Messrs. Crellin, Wag staff, Farnworth, Woodruff, Bennett, still, Jeffery, and Yernon.

The proceedings of the Sub-committee of Works were read, and amongst other subjects transacted by them mOntioned the fact that there had been no less than ninety-four applicants for the situation of assistant secretary in the water engineer's office, seven of whom had attended personally before the sub-committee on that day, and the committee recommended the appoint ment of Mr. George Perry, of Salford. Mr. WAOSTA.FF begged to move the confirmation of the proeeedino. said he had been absent. from lowa ior toe - last bra net-.., anu alit ....ltem unit.. that had been done during that time, but there was one subject to which he would divert attention, and that. was the appointment of an assistant secretary. The recom mendation from the sub-committee, for making such an appointment., had already been confirmed by the general committee, and an advertisement had been inserted in the newspapers. There were ninety-four applicants, and out of that number the sub-committee had selected one whom he considered a very suitable and fit and proper person for the situation. It was Mr. George Perry, who had been accustomed to such work, having been engaged on the water-works at Salford, near Man chester, and was, therefore, quite conversant with the duties he would have. to perform. Re (Mr. Wagstaff) was aware that an amendment would be proposed, but he cordially concurred with what the sub-committee had done, and would move that their report be confirmed. Mr. CRELLTN had much pleasure in seconding the motion. Mr. FARNWORTH s aid that, having been absent from I home for the last five an or six w fo h r a a t n h a a s d si b st e a e n n t going not imagine for what an ;assistantweeks, he did not know untilhe advertisementsa se w er t e l t i a e rywas in the engineer's secretaryin the newspapers., He could assigned was that would ask the P from age and infirmitT yes could not perform the duties., If so, some person ' work Mr. Ro , e _s had might be found who would do the as they had recommended. r done. for £lOO of appointing a e per annum, instead t offi hie.ee ' Rogers, The 1 onlyvil o reason he w h e i nhtand the office, inaiffienateredi, person with such a large salary. He committee whether, in the Council Cham ber, they were prepared to justify such an appointment :11...1 .. r. Woonnurp--Certainly. , Mr. FA RNWORTH thought that the whole subject had not been duly considered, and, therefore, he had given notice of the motion lie wag about to propose, which was, "That no further steps be taken in the appointment of an assistant secretary, until a committee had been appointed, and investigated the duties per formed by the clerks in the engineer's office, and reported to that committee." Having at some length assigned his reasons for taking th e ste p s he had done, he said he could not conscientiou sl y vote for the recommendation. of the sub-committee because he had not sufficient information upon so important a subject, and would, of which t t therefore, Perhaps more light would be thrown on move the adoption of the amend He e would, however, move the conversation he had given notice ; but from the con_ ln ve e amendment. ODRUFF then detailed all the proceedings of r to. r w r.:. seconded the amendment. t w h o el : ls l tur d ...b f Ewi o es l r l o, them o g ot e e n d e , ra a l nd said the reason made had made the recommendation since t wNtwv l h i hahi e ssyo o S Ni. nvt the was s - c incompetent accountuo m b -i appointmentcnoimtot efmNevas te a e t n efiao d gr a: infirmities of Mr. Rogers, perform tand the duties. He replied to the observations Mr. Farnworth, and some thing approaching a scene took place, Mr. Farnworth denying that he had heard him (Mr. Woodruff) reply . to an observation made by Mr. Beine at a former meeting of the committee. Mr. Woodruff concluded by saying that he believed that the recommendation of the com mittee was a sound and a good one; that all they wanted in the office was ahead, and he felt sure they had selected a good one. Mr. Diuican would be relieved from attend ing to the books and correspondence, and would have more time to devote to his out-door dirties. Mr. VERNON supported the recommendation, but at the same time thought there was a great necessity for a committee of investigation into the duties performed by the clerks in the office. He did not see that there was any necessity for the appointment to be deferred. Let that be confirmed, and then let a committee be appointed and report to this committee. Mr. ,Teffery supported the amendment. Mr. C HEWN was surprised that Mr. Farnworth should leave town, and thus neglect his duties, and when he came home again, endeavour to upset all a committee had done. Tt would he better for notice to be given in future, "Because I am going out, no busi ness can he done," than.to have all upset after it was done. He, for one, would not succumb to such treat ment. After some further discussion the committee divided, when Messrs. Estill, Jeffery, Farnworth, and Hodgson, voted for the amendment. ; and Messrs. et-elfin, Vernon, Bennett, Wagstaff, and Woodruff, for the confirmation of the sub-committee's proceedings: The latter was carried. THE STOPPING THE PUNIPS. Mr. BENNETT, from circumstances he had heard since their last meeting, withdrew the motion he had given notice of, in reference to the stopping the pump ing process, and having only Rivington water for one month. He had understood from the engineer that it could not he carried out. The committee then separated. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDA.T. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) WINSLOW AGAIN. Mr. Cobb appeared on behalf of Thomas Wiiisiow, eating house-keeper, of Vmshall-road, who charged a man named John Rill for having assaulted and abused him. Mr. Cobb said it would be in the memory of the court, that Winslow had been recently before the court, two_or three times since the assizes, prosecuting persons for having annoyed and assaulted him. He trusted that his Worship would teach persons in the position of the prisoner, that they could not go to the house of Winslow, and insult him after this manner. On Saturday night, about nine o'clock, the prisoner went to Winslow's eating-house and had some slipper, and when asked for pay ment, he not only insulted but assaulted him. He trusted that his Worship would 'show that Winslow was as much entitled to protection as any man in society. Mr. Rafts : No doubt of it. Mr. Cobb : He really must not he molested after this fashion. The prisoner after having his refreshment, com menced calling Winslowa poisoner, and used other insulting language, and when desired to go out, he would not do so, but assaulted and kicked him severely. Mr. Raffles : Is this a licensed house? Mr. Cobb; Yes, it is under the new aet• He then called Winslow, who said : The prisoner came to my house cut Saturday night, about nine o'clock, and had some supper. There was a friend of mine assisting me in the place, and when the prisoner was done, he asked him for payment ; but the only payment he got was a blow. My friend being a snore powerful man than the prisoner, knocked him down, and when both were down, T went to take my friend off him, and when the prisoner got up, he struck me several times. He then got on the cellar steps, and kicked me severely. I ant suffer ing from the injuries ;my. Thomas Boardman stated---I was assisting Mr. Winslow, and when I asked the prisoner for payment he struck tile. Winslow has stated that I knocked the prisoner down, but that is not correct, as it was he who pulled me: down nn hint by catching me by the hair of the head. He would not go out. Mr. Raffles :He is liable to a penalty of 40s. under the act for not going out when requested to do so. Boardman said---He knocked me down, and bit Me in the cheek ; and the marks of his teeth are in my check. Mr. Raffles : What have you to say ? There is a double assault here. You are liable to a penalty of 4,05. Ander the act for refusing to leave the house when roonentevi ; hut I will only deal with it as an assault. TIT prisoner said he knew nothing about the transactkou, as he was drunk ; but he was very sorry, for wkkat had happened. Mr. Raffles: You have no right to go to this man's house and insult him. He has leen tried and acquitted, and is as much entitled to protection as any man in the land. You, nor no other person, have a right to annoy this man, much less assault him in his house. Winslow : I beg your worship's pardon, but I do not wish to punish him se\ erely. All I want is protection. No doubt the house has caused great excitement, but---Mr. Rafte*; I don't want to have any speeches on this, pojwi. (To the prisoner) I would fine you double , sr,hat j awl about to do but for the interference of the PMeetttoTs I fine you les. for the assault. THE SWEETHEART AND THE KNIFE diehard Carter, a well-dressed young sailor, was charged fei' having cut the cheek of Ellen Seymour. Mr. Block appeared for the prosecution, and stated that complainant lived in Penrington-street, and had a servant girl, who "kept company" with the prisoner. On Sunday night he ea/led at the house,, and asked to see his sweetheart, The,ptosecutrix said he could not see her then, and he went ont, but returned in a few minutes, and kicV in tiw door, swearing he must see the girl. Complajnant Mil; refused, and said she would send for 4 130)A.mn,',11, when the- prisoner teak something out of hifi,pc.c.ket, and struck leer cm the cheek, cutting her, and at the same tine swearing , Ito would take her life. The prose cutrix was called, slid corroborated this Statenient; as did also the smant girl. The wound; however, was not serious. The prls)ner denied having used a knife. lie was fined £2, ov two months' imprisonment. MORE KNIFING. It is truly frightful to find the numbe:;p,f-twes of stabbing that ara brought before the police magistrates. Charles Stephenson, a boat but\clv t was charged for having stabbed a female narses; Alai') Anne Davies. Mr. Cobb defended. On the lath inst., in a house in the Park, the prisoner's wife and the prosecutrix had some quarrel, and it seemed the latter went to the prisoner to revenge herself, and spat ill Ilis face, and also struck him. He was cutting tobacco, and with the knife which he had in his hand, he *truck hfrr a blow on the neck, inflicting a serious wound. Stwgeon Cavanagh, having described the wound, he. said in reply to Mr. Cobb, that nflthing but a Ifra6(lcoold have caused it. The defence set up was, that the prisoner had a pipe in.his band when he struck the woman, after she had struck him, and that it was the stem of the pipe that inflicted the wound. Some witnesses were called to sustain this view of the ease, but his worship sent the prisoner for trial, admitting him to Lail, (Before Messrs. HounnToJi and PnEsTax.) "THE PARTIES CWARQING DON'T APPEAR!" There were no less than Ave prisoner% consecutively brought up, clArged with various cases of felony, and Mr. Cobb aPPaared for them. In caoh ease, the policeman said "the parties charging don't appear." Mr. Cobb loudly complained of parties who gave others into custody, and after the prisoners ' had been locked up for a day and a night, am'ing , t all sorts of thieves, burglars, pickpockets, wnmen of ill-fume, " naegs men," " cracksmen," "smashers," "Care, shrpcgs," and all other sediments of human natuye, th.at the only thing lieard when they were put to the liar, was " the parties charging don't appear.'t What compensation was this to the injured persons? In cases where the charging persons were worth anything, of course, compensation could be recovered; but in other cases, there was no redress whatever, although the prisoners suffered the greatest injury. He could wish that policemen had some discretion in s - ach cases, but unfortu nately they had tot, for once a person was given in charge to an officer for felony, there was no, alternative but take the charge, and lock up the accused person. In one of those cases, however, he had, redress, far the person charging, and who " c‘idno‘ appckr,"was the wife of a pull'ican living in Denison-street. She 'nad given an American sailor into cus,tody as a person who was suspected to be about to Commit a filmy, and the only grounds she bad for giving him into custody was that he went into the bar to hare a glass of ale, and was seen speaking to a prPtty bar girl. (Laughter.) He would take care to have some redress in this case. Until an example of s : ome sort was made to put a stop to such con duct, it would continue. The Magistrates agreed with Mr. Cobb that it was a hardship to have persons locked up on un founded charges, but the police could not help that, and all the Magistrates could do in 'slut eases was to discharge the parties accused. COAT STEALING. Police-officer Barrow, 7, brought up.a young fellow, named John Edwards, on a charge of having stolen two coats. The Qfficer said, for some days past.up wards of forty coats had been stolen from ships in the docks. He got the prisoner going out with two good coats on his arm. lie had got no owner for them, and asked for a remand until he could mate inquiry about them. The prisoner was remanded.

Lloyd, and Rogers.

CORONER'S INQUESTS.—Yesterday the COroner held ►won.,^" i n " I * . -1' oral a abourer, who died the Northern I ospit I. Val Saturday the deceased was engaged carting some goods on the Regent Road, when a pack of goods fell on him and he was so much injured that he died in consequence. Verdict—Accidental Death. On the body of Robert Graham, a labourer, who lost his life at one of the rail way arches, near Tithebarn-street, where he was engaged scraping an arch preparatory to painting. The affair was purely accidental, and the jury found accordingly. [The deceased was a man much respected in his position, and has left five children, the youngest three months old, totally unprovided for.] -0n the body of a child named Martha Simon, eleven weeks old, that was over lain in bed. Verdict, Accidentally suffocated. THE LATE COLLISION ON THE SHREWSBURY AND HERErORD RAILWAY.—Sh re wsbury, Saturday.—The ad passen ger who was kilted on journed inquest on the this line was resumed to-day by the coroner, and . has resulted in a verdict which strongly reflects on the management of the line by the officers engaged. The circumstances were of a melancholy character, and have caused deep regret amongst all parties. It bas .- been old that " Accidents will happen in th e truly said of b es t regulated families," and the Great 'Western officials have not escaped, though it is universally admitted that that line is, par exeellence, the best regulated of the railway fatuity, and is served by the.best railway talent in existenee. Few lines can boast of such experienced men as Mr. Kelly and Mr. Patchett : and there can be but one opinion on the excitsablz- mistakes in reading a„telegraphic despatch which led, to such unfortunate results. DARING SHIP ROBRERY.—At the County Magis trates' Court, yesterday, before Mr. It. Brocklebank, three men, named respectively Robert Wilman, William Frank, and Henry Vichorst, were brought up 071 charge of stealing from two • vessels in. the Garston Docks. The facts as they appeared, in evidence were briefly these :—On Sunday night, James Conway cap- tain of the Tees Packet, went to bed in his ves s el, and ,eioek left. his watch hang at in up. He awoke five 0 next morning and found his watch gone. John Ken in his ship dall, captain of the Eliza Hanson , also slept he found his on Sunday night, and when he awoke trousers had been stolen, together with £2 3s. 6d., a cork-screw, knife, and other articles. He afterwards found his trousers on the quay side, and the purse there also. Captain Conway gave_ information to the police, and Serjeant Moss and P o li ce - co nstable Groupie mime diately went z mbarth, where they saw the three prisoners going la t towards Liverpool. They were brought. back and searched, when a watch and some money were found Frank.o.u'iidupon Wilman, and a cork-screw, knife, &c., upon Vichorst had no property in his possession ; he belonged to a vessel in the Garston Dock, but he took his clothes and l eft her yesterday morning to accompany t he other two prisonerS.

Amongst the recent improve ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Rudhall and Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec tive contrivance the ink is remitted in a fountain, by means of a second inverted barrel, above the writingnib, and this barrel can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feature M this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes' quick writing.
