disinterested persons who reside at Rome and po'ssess an :intimate knowledge of these States, there can be no doubt bitt that there is some ex aggeration in the accusations brought, against the Papal Government and the troops under the com mand of Lamoriciere. The progress of the revolu tion is gaining ground every day, Cialdini and Fauti defeating the Pontifical troops, at every encounter, taking hcindreds of prisoners,. among the number the famous SWisiColonel, now - .General Schmidt, who - commanded the troops at the late insurrection of Perugia. This officer,. is now on his way to:.Turin as a prisoner .of war, where Monsignore Betta is now safely lodged, the same who was arrested at Fossombrone while leading the Papal troops against the Piedmontese. For the last t' . oo days 'we are without any news from Naples or.the movements of Garibaldi. The Gazette of Turin informs us that the general has requested the Sardinian admiral to send him a sufficient number of the bersaglieri to take possession of all 'the forts and arsenals, which has been done. The same journal . , also states that Garibaldi has - written to r the- Marquis Giorgio Pallavieino Trivnizio, senator - of- the Sardinion Assembly, °Tering hila the office of ,fro -Dictator of Naples. The Marquis has requested time to consider. Nearly all the journals, three days ago, announced . that Francis 11. had left Gaeta for Saviglia, and - this morning the same telegram tellS us that he , is still at - Gaeta with 40,000 men. Is this to be a second edition of the death of Ferdinand,. who . - Was announced to be dead at least a dozen times,. and as many times contradicted by many prints,. statin g 4; His Majesty's health has this morning slightly improved," and another, His . Majesty "is Vin. 'the perfect possession of his physical and Mental faculties ?" Our present position is this, that wQ,i;tre in such delightful uncertainty and confusion, that we hardly know what'is passing Itround,sind . what wonderful changes the rising of :to=morrow's sun may bring about. .1 have Just heard that the troops that were at the camp about twelve miles from Milan, for exercise, ha. e received orders to return here without loss Or time,' and after to start for the Mineio, in eon ecluenee of the daily menacing attitude of Austria.. A rumour is afloat this morning that . Austria "succeeded in landing five regiments at Ancona before Persano came up with the Sar- Ilinian fleet. ShoUld this turn out to be true it is quite certain that Austria is resolved not to 'remain an idle spectator of the present events. I am positively assured that within the last week the same committees that -were charged by 'Garibaldi for the enrolment of the volunteers for Sicily have - already 'commenced to inscribe in Their regsters ihOse young men who feel disposed to enter the ranks of Garibaldi for the future eccil . ,ine2Ctif Venice., LAT EST NEWS. .AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.).

THE ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO ASSASSI NATE THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.; The 'Paris correspondent of the Post telegraphi that the statement of an attempt having been made on the life of the Emperor, at Toulon, is entirely destitute Of all foundation. The Time 3 has a telegram from its correspondent confirming the news :of Lamoriciere's defeat. The Times remarks that Lamoriciere has really done nothing in Italy which' might not have been done by one of the College of Cardinals. With 11,000 mer, and the vigo►ous aid of the garrison of Ancona, he has simply marched up to a signal defeat. He has been beaten upon his own ground, and upon a field of his own choice. The Times referring to the capture of 600 of the Irish brigade at. Spoleto, says that Count Cavour tried to make a favour to England 'of giving them up to the British Minister, but. Sir James Hudson did not think that these chop-fallen heroes came within the definition of distressed British subjects, whom it is part of his duty to help towards their homes. It is stated that King i f rictor lately received a letter from Garibaldi asking him to dismiss Cavour.. The King, thereupon, came to the determination to assemble the Chambers. On their meeting, a vote of confidence in the Ministry is to be proposed, and; if carried, the King will place himself at the head of his army, and march: upon Naples. If the vote should not be carried the Ministers will resign. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. BENEFIT OF - MISS R.

The pieces are very attractive, namely, a new local comely, "Early Closing ; or the Volunteer Movement," in which Mr. Watkins ivill personate a draper's clerk, and Miss Howard a milliner ; to be followed by a domestic brawl, "It takes Two to Quarrel; " to wind up with the 'grand American drama of "The Pioneers of Americo." This is the last night hat one of the engagement of Jr. Watkins and Miss Howard. MR. AND MRS. GERMAN REED'S ENTERTAINMENT. RE-APPEARANCE, OF MR. JOHN PARRY. Mr: and Mrs. German Reed, whose versatile, talents, 'combined with the refined and elegant nature ,of their entertainment, have for so many years rendered them the most universally popular of our amusement caterers, appear in Liverpool next week, at that most apprepriate loci*, the exquisite and b;joit-like concert-room of St. George's-hall. At all times Mr. and Mrs. Reed have proved a most decided attraction to our townspeople ; but on the present occasion they bring with them Mr. John Parry, who has not been beard in Liverpool for eight years, and- whom we never expected to see again in a professional capacity. • Happily, however, for the' lovers of music, oddity, and fun, John Parry, has once. more "visited ,the glimpses of the gas lights ;" And during the past season he and Mr. and Mrs. Reed Attracted the elite of metropolitan society for several months to their "Gallery of IlluStration," in Regent street. in every respect he is the John Parry who, years ago, used to "set audiences in a roar," whenever. he opened his mouth ; while his exquisite touch upon the piano-forte was the marvel of musicians. With such an ally as John Parry, Mr. and Mrs. Reed's . entertain ment..will be an irresistible attraction ; and we may naturally hope to see the St. George's-hall concert-room crowded nightly next week, as-weil as on Wednesday afternoon, when: a day performance ; will be giyen. THE COMER-STREET MURDER. THE INQUEST. Yesterday the Coroner held an inquest on the body of Ann Neesham, 20 years of age; who was killed by her husband, on Tuesday night,_ in Gomer-street. In addi tion to the details published in our paper of Wednes day and yesterday, the following evidence was given : Margaret M'Adam, the mother of the prisoner, stated that the deceased .occasionally got tipsy, and the pri soner and deceased had words now and thee 0)04 1 it , but nothing of consequence. They went out together at six o'clock on Tuesday evening, and the deceased was then worse for liquor. They came back about eight o'clock, and she was then better. The prisoner was sober then. She asked him for tobacco, and he said he had none. She put her hand in his pocket and took out some. They then had.come words, when the prisoner struck her in the mouth with his hand. Wit ness said she would not have such work there, and if they did not go out she would go for a policeman, and she went out to get one, but could not see one: Cie returned in three-quarters of an hour, and found a crowd about the cellar door, but never saw deceased alive after that. Mary Clay was examined, and gave the same evidence as she did at the Police-court on Wednesday, Mary Hart was also examined, and merely corrobo rated the statement of Mrs. Clay. Mrs. Phillips, the wife of a painter who lives in the street, stated that on the night in question, the deceased came staggering up to her in the street, and caught her by the arm, and asked her to take her to the dispensary, as she was dying. The deceased then fell down, and. witness fell on her. She never spoke after, but died almost immediately. Witness saw she was bleeding from the left breast; raised her up in a sitting position, and the police then came up. Knows deceased and the prisoner about two years and a half, and they often quarrelled, and. both used to drink. Never saw blows, struck between them. Anne Flaherty stated that she passed the door about nine on Tuesday evening, and heard a noise in the cellar, and on looking in she saw two persons on the floor, but could not tell who they were. Heard, the woman exclaim, " Oh, you wretch, what have you done this for? or what have I ever done to you?" (as witness -Understood.) Has no doubt the woman was the deceased. Inspector White stated that he saw a pool of blood on the cellar door, and traced the blood from that to where the deceased was found in the street. Mr. Tomilson, one of the superintendents of police, was examined, and gave the same evidence as he aid at the Police-court as regarded the arrest of the prisoner, and what he stated when taken into custody. The evidence was published in our paper of yesterday. Surgeon Gill sa id he was called to see deceased, and found - her bleeding from a wound in the left breast. She died there and then. Made a p unctured mortem examina tion of the body since, and found a _wound in the heart, the eTternal wound corresponding with that in the heart. The wound was in the right ventricle, and was the eause of death. The pericardium was quite filled with blood. A knife such as 4oir produced would be likely to produce such a wound. After the examination of a police-oflicer, whose evidence was not material, the Coroner cbarged the jury, and in a few moments they returned a verdict of "Wilful Murder" against the man. The Coroner issued his warrant accordingly for his committal. THE HEALTH COMMITTEE. The usual weekly meeting — of this committee was held yesterday at the Town-hall. Mr. Alderman Dover presided.

The Atlantic Royal Mail Steamship Connaught sailed from Galway on Wednesday, on her trial trip, and having made a successful rim of about three hundred miles, returned again to that port yesterday evening. The wind was strong from the north-west, with a heavy sea. The ship and machinery performed most satisfactorily, and it is expected she will reach St. John's in five days. Mr. John Palmer, Mr. Weir, and Captain Thompson were on board. The Connaught leaves Galway for America, with the mails, on Tuesday next, the 25th. Passengers by her can startirom Liverpool as late as Monday night, the 24th instant. LOVE, SEDUCTION, AND ROBBERY : ALIAS, " LOVE, LAW, AND PHYSIC.". When that truthful delineator of nature, William • Shakspeare, wrote those few emphatic words, " The, path of true love ne'er ran smooth," there is no doubt ' but that, in those days, he spoke the truth, but in those days—the "golden age of good Queen Bess"—the electric telegraph had not.been discovered, and instead of, having drowsy parochial constables, each town in Ensiand, at least one of any note, has its detective force. This national establishment, if it do not prevent the committal of fearful offences, has bad such an effect, when properly organised, as to bring, by the ever zealous and watchful eyes of. those engaged in the calling, a very great number of offenders to "the seat of justice," some Of whom get their proper deserts, whilst others,' through legal technicalities raised at the eleventh hour, escape. To whom is the blame to be attached? The real offenders—those who endeavour to bring their offence • home—or to the red-tapeism of the tribunals before which they are tried ? But be that as it may, it is our duty to record a little instance of " Life as it is," and, as " Truth is stranger than fiction," we will just give our readers a brief history . of how Miss Emma Perkins made love to a youthful swain whose name was Gould—not gold—because she found that a necessary commodity ; and although she took it from her father's house, in which she was domesticated. On the night of the 18th of September Miss Emma Perkins was standing behind her own father's bar, vending the best of spirits, her bright sparkling eyes and flaxen locks, creating some little sensation amongs t those whom she had to serve, whether it was "a glass of bitter" or " two pennyworth of blue ruin ;" but there she was, doing her duty. Behind the counter, that is to say, the "space which 13 devoted to the public, sat a young man, "sipping his necnts ;" his hair was dark , and minus whiskers, but he had. a small tuft of hair growing under the chin. He was silent ; but the glance of his eye, and his Birmingham accent attracted the attention of Ali•;e Emma Perkins. It was not his first visit to the Bricklayers' Arms, on the Commercial-road, kept by James Perkins, the father of Emma Perkins. In that public house, besides the two living beings we have described, were other persons, and, in addition - to them, secreted in a drawer, was £B5 in gold, and £25 in silver. The silver was made up in small parcels, each of which Tontained twenty shillings. At a certain hour the house closed, and early on the follow ing morning it was also discovered that Miss Emma Perkins had not been to her bed. The faher was sur prised, and by some accidental eh cumstanee he went to look for his money, when—lo ! and behold !—it was gone; and he was almost fit to exclaim; "I have lost my ducats, and I have lost my daughter." The wardrobe was searched, and it was discovered that a lavender dress and a black bonnet were gone, as was alSo the useful geniis wbo spoke in a strong Brum magem accent. The tatber's suspicions were aroused, and he at once applied to the pity p 9 lipe-pfr i ee,. and 'telegrams were forwarded to every port in England, giving a description of Miss Emma Perkins ' the money, and her supposed paramonr. At an early hour on the 20th instant the wires of the electric telegraph gave the information at. the Pollee-office,' Dale-street, .Liverpool. A consultation was then held amongst the detectives, and Detective-officer Scott, the same individual who has frustrated so many of these delins quents, was on the alert. By- some peculiar ability which he possesses he went down to the Wellington Dock, knowing - well that the steamer North American, bound for Quebec and Montreal, was about to take her departure. Whey ea,* on board the vessel he scanned each Passenger, and BOA succeeded in finding the fair mnrheyrerskiurpnt.:Ltylsebetiruktihgla.nirgedd, h ß a ra ir m ed m la ag m eni l y ti o s u s th E . but cannot be described. Miss Perkins fainted ; the Brummagein youth, who gave his name as Gould, — looked and acted daggers. They were at once taken into custody by. Scott. Upon searching Gould .475 111 : ' sov ereigns was found upon hi s . person ; and instead of taking their departure for Quebec th e y were con veyed from Ibis town to London by the earliest train. When Detective-officer Scott will detail the particu lar, of this apprehension no doubt th e b enc h b e f o re which they' are taken vfsl,l deal to them even handed justice. Will not_ our readers .pay after this that "truth is stranger- than fiction,'? aud 4,44 the real Offender will get duly physieked. IVERPOOL POLICE COURT.--YEsTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) CURIOUS cARGE AGAINST A KILKENNY GIRL. .The old song sage, fae "Boys of Kilkenny are stout roving blades," and the girls of Kilkenny are famous for darkly, brightly, beautifully blue eyes. Sarah Kelly is one of the latter class, and it seems shnlitaitates the other se., in their .4 roving's- 7 propensities. It eppre that she was on a " tramp" , somewhere., from #e ." city without smoke," perhaps on her way to join Garibaldi, 'after the fa s hi on of no i ence Nightingale, or to comfort the Irish briga4e in their troubles. Some nights since, she Was coming from Dublin, by she good ship Princess, and a companion du voyage, vas one FAizabetle Aekers, a young Yorkshire lady, Who bad a parse, and £4;s. in it. The latter lady got sea sick, and the prisoner ecaing.eS a good Samaritanees, begged her to take " a drop of comfort " Out of a bottle, the said " comfort" being composed of a sole, Lion of tobacco, water, and whiskey ; and after taking this, she fell dead asleep, but when she awoke, her purse and money were gone. Her purse, minus the money, was found in the prisoner's basket. Dr. Edward's, who analysed the contents °I . . PO bottle, found the whiskey to contain a quantity of tobacco crater in it,. and he described the effects it would have on a person whentaken i trteenally. Mr. Pluck, for the prisoner, cross-examined the Octal' at sage lenettb. in a scientific man ner, and then Made an able appeal me lechelf Q his cp.en4 ocar tending that if the prisoner had committed the robbery, would have fiung the purse oyerboayd. and not !ts.ye , put it into her basket. He argtted tbat the purse west have been put into the prisoner's basket by some one else, or even by the prosecutrix herself, to conceal the fact of her heeeing ne money, The prisoner was sent for trial. THE SHOOTING CASE IN MIIRRAT-SiTtEET , Daniel M`Lorinan was brought up on remand, charged with ha , big shot William Gittins, in Murray-street, on Sunday P- 191 1 4 . 7 43'.

Mr. Cobb eon tended ;44 it Ty* , an unfortunate accident, arising cut of the incautious use of fire arm;, pee parties we're engaged for some time in snapping capped p‘ktcai 9Paer, and that the prisoner did not, nor could not, know that the r4.stel he used was loaded. There could. not have been any malice the case. He called a gentleman named Alan Murray, from Glasgow, who nearly corroborated the statement he had made, and Mr. Rallies treated the affair as au assault, without malice, and tined the prisoner £5, or two months' imprisonment.

THE CHESTER RIFLE CONTEST, • . • YESTERDAY. The contest was vigorously resumed yesterday morn ing on Leaso we Common, within a few hundred yards of the residence of Sir Edward Cust, Bart. The day was favourable. A little rain fell in the afternoon not in sufficient quantities, however, to impede the proceed ings of the day, or to damp the ardour of the volunteers. The spectators were numerous. The aristocracy of the county was strongly represented, and the muster of volunteers was tolerably large. Amongst the officers we noticed the umpire, Col. Clarke Kennedy, C. 8.; Col. Wilbraham, C.B. ; Captains J. Cadell (Ist), W. Chase- bees (3rd), Edwards (11th), H. A. Grey (4th), F. P. Jdnes (4th), W. Hope Jones (14th), V. A. King (2nd), W. Laird (sth), Nicholson (30th); Sir Edward Cust, Messrs. John. Laird, H. H. Laird, S. Ledward, John Ravenscroft, the honorary secretary Mr. Hadfield, and the head constable of the Cheshire police, Capt. Smith. The grounds presented a gay and lively appearance. Official and refreshment tents stood here and there, and flags were . displayed from every prominent point. The greatest good humour prevailed amongst all classes, and no person seemed to express the least dissatisfaction with the arrangements, the treatment which they received, or the result s . A body of police was in atten dance ; but their presence was not, we are happy to say, necessary. The inward man was provided for by trust worthy caterers, the volunteers being provided with refreshments at all official tents at a regulated tariff. The gentlemen immediately connected with affairs were indefatigable in their several spheres ; and we beg to return our thanks to Mr. Hadfield, the secretary, for hie courtesy to the press generally. Shooting commenced, as on the day before, at eleven o'clock, and continued until after five in the afternoon. On the whole the proceedings were successful. No one expected all the competitors to be "crack shots ;" but no one, we feel assured, who took the surrounding circumstances into consideration—the short time the Cheshire volunteers have been in existence, and the patient practice it requires to enable a man to learn the rudiments of the art of shooting—could have felt disappointed with the result of the day's labour. Indeed, the steadiness with which each and every one of the candidates handled the rifle, and the correctness of the majority of their aims was really surprising, and elicited words of approbation and encouragement from senior army offleera present. Nor could they justly withhold their commendation, for among the competitors for the prizes offered to the best shots open to all comers, were two sergeants and a private from the Stirlingbire Militia; if years are a test of experience, these men ought to have carried away all the prizes, ami with ease. A great philosopher, however, once said that a man might be young in years and old in hoiirs : and the truth of his remark has been singu larly proved in the history of the volunteers. In the present instance, the highest number of points made by tho of " 4perience" was eight, whilst E. A. Coul born, of the Lanark !Volunt eers , m ad e in all fifteen. The best shot on the ground was Mr. Frost, of,the 14th Cheshire Rides. With unerring precision, this geritle man, daring the two days, striick the target again and amain. He scarcely ever made a miss. Fate seemed,, bound to his rifle : and the old Napoleon Buonaparte would have declared that lie bad the " Devil in his eye." The encomiums showered upon him were well earned; and, the many prizes which he took away ought, as Lieutenant -Colonel King remarked, to have made his w if e , if he 44c1 4pe,. or his sweetheart, be he single, hug him caressingly., Qther3 proygd themielyes skilful Marksmen ; and all and every one of the competitors will, if they continue the practice, become perfect in the art before the leaves of another autumn are strewn over Leasowe Common. We shall make further remarks as we deal with the competition for the prize of the day. THE FIRST CONTEST. prizes for winners of the prizes won the day before, and the neTt' bect, shots at ranges of 700, 75 0, and 800 vards; e4ch firing five shoPs For the best I ' diot . ---the magistrates' prize of £5O, with an additional prize of a splendid ornament valued at £lO 10s, presented by Lady Edward Cast. For the second best shot—A prize of 25 gnineas, pre pnted by Mr. J. R. Shaw. For the there liegt• shot—Llo, presented by Captain H. M. Edwards, of the 11th For the fourth best shot—Xlo, presented by Sir Phillip Egerton, M.P. The size of the targets at 700, 750, and 800 yards was 6 feet by 12, with 3 feet centre. Sixteen gentlemen entered into the contest. The tiring centinned during the whole of the day. The skill displayed by the competitors was something remarkable. Thera was decision apparent in every inoveznent. 4 perfept acqnaiutan9e with the rift was i4nibited at every titrn• The position of the body, with a view to ease and firmness, had been carefully studie , fly all the , eontewling parties and the consequent grace of their deportment was a subject of ceaseless admiration. Every one did, his best —and that well ; the points made told the result. At a range of 700 yards Mr. Frost, Mr. Wakefield, and Mr. Golbourne accomplished six points each; five other gentlemen made five each; and three made four points each. At 750 yards , there was a marked difference in the quality of the shooting. Mr. Froit w...ade only pile, Mr. Golbourne one, and Mr. Wakefield two ko lu t s . 4t thislanae the highest nnm bee of points gained was Olive." 'The tontesnllC4 lay between Messrs. Wakefield, Golbenine, Watson, ErierlY, and Frost: In the second range, exalting at his pre? rims good fortune, Mr. Frost became careless ; but now, when he found that he had powerful rivals to conquer, his aims were steadier, and his success accord ingly greater. At 800 yards he made four points, making a grand total of- eleven. A gentleman who had hitherto shown no great skill, compared with Mr. Frost, made three pojats ; the number ma d e by th e ,_ other competitors' being smaii. Mr. Cawap made in all ten, I*. Rilerly tiine ' and Mr. Wakefield e i g ht points. Therefore the ma g i s tr a tes'lpriza and Lady Cust's orna nitent was won by Mr. Frost, by one poiat only, and he will doubtless value it the more bemuse he had such corals to deal with; and T,ddy Gust and the, magistrates of the coanty of Chester mast be satisfied that their money was not distributed 'to tinwerthy 'cern petitors, The second prize canr by right to' Cawap, the third t o Mr, Briolt 4114 the fourth to Mr. Wakefield.

' This completed the public'competition. Whilst, however, these contests were taking place, a large number of the men not otherwise employed en gaged in private contests at a game called "Aunt Sally." A small fee was c h arged for every shot, and the money thus collected was divided amongst the men who used their rifle most successfully. In this ol onner 'thirteen or fourteen • volunteers' realised, on Wednescliq, ' about thirteen shillingi each. It was not k nown last evening what the result of 'yesterday's genie's et '"Aunt Sally"• amounted to. The electric target was a novelty, and attracted the attention of 'volunteers and visitors during the day. 4. telegraphic wire Was laid from the spot on which the competitors stood to the target, and by an ingenious invention the needle was made to show the point at which the ball hit the targat. If it missed, the needle stood motionless ; if it. struck on the right or left sides, the needle turned in these directions. After the competition was closed,. the names of the winners on Wednesday and Thursday were announced. The Lancaster rifle was won by Watson; the Wesley Richards rifle by Frost; and the Whitworth rifle by Gregory, The rifles were presented by Mr. J. Laird.

Lieut.-Colonel Ring seconded Mr. Laird's motion in a humorous speech, and the vote of thanks was enthu siasti9ally accorded. Colonel Kennedy briefly responded, placing his ser vices at the command of the Cheshire Volunteers. It was announced that the distribution of prizes would be made the occasion of a great demonstration, which would take place very shortly. This concluded the whole of the day's proceedings. LIVERPOOL LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASSOCLATION. The adjourned arinaal meeting of the members of this association was held at the institute, West Derby-road, yesterday afternoon. Mr. Thomas Jones occupied the chair. There were upwards of seventy of the members of the association present, the meeting having been convened for extraordinary and special purposes which could not have been transacted unless there were at. , least sixty of the members present. THE ELECTION OF A TRUSTEE. The CHAIRMAN said the first business would be the election of a trustee in the place of Mr. H. Morris, and as such, he should be most happy to hear some gentle man named. Mr. GEORGE Howa rose with much pleasure to place before the meeting the name of a gentleman whom they all respected, and one whose exertions , on behalf of the society was ever acknowledged. He (Mr. Howe) be lieved that the gentleman he should name was the Chairman of the Association when the foundation of the Institutiom was laid. He concluded by proposing Mr. Richard Lumb as the new trustee. Mr. WILLIAM COWARD seconded the proposition which was unanimously adopted, amidst much applause. THE ALTERATION OF THE RULES. The CHAIRMAN said that the next business was the consideration of the six new rules, the adoption of which the committee recommended. Although they would be submitted to that meeting, before they could become a part of the deed of trust they would hEtTe to be con firmed at another general meeting, which would be convened for that purpose. However, he would call upon the secretary to read those resolutions, and then perhaps some gentlemen might have some observations to make upon them. Mr. Secretary Citossmior then read the following draft of the proposed new rules :- 1: That every adult inmate now in the institution, beiag single, and every new candidate, being single, to be hereafter admitted, who may not be entitled to any goods, chattels, estate, or effects, either in posseslion, reversion, remainder, or expectancy, shall make And sub scribe tip. declaration to that effect. 2. That every snob ininate'or new candidate who may he entitled to any goods, chattels, property, or effects, either in possession, reversion, remainder, or expectancy, shall, at the time of admission, declare and set forth a full, true, and particular account of all stich goods, chattels, property, or a4ects, au where the same are situate, and in whose possession or control; and upon the death or' removal of any inrnate or candidate from the institution the said goods, chattels, and effects 811411 become„the property of the institution; and they shall be at liberty to sell or dispose thereof, or seine part thereof;to revahar.ae theniaelre the ?mount expended in support of such inmate or candidate, and the funeral expenses, and the expenses of such sale, or to hold the same property, estate, or effects, until the amount which they may have expended as aforesaid shall be fully paid to them. 3. That any inmate now in the institution, and every new candidate to be hereafter elected who may he mauled, sliall,where such is the fact, slab a deelaaation that neither be or lds Wife are, - pOsesaecr of ank goods, chitoi, property, estate, or effects, either in possession, reversion, remainder, or expectancy, sufficient to main tain and support them. And if it should happen that the said inmate or candidate shall ha possessed of any goods, chattels, property, estate, or effects, either in possession, reversion, remainder, or expectancy, either iu hid oven right or right of his wife, then he shall, ~t the time of making such declaration, state and 'set forth a full, true, and particular account of all such' goods, chattels, property, and effects, and where the same are situate, and in whose possession or control. And upon the death or removal of any such last mentioned candidates from the institution, the said goods, chattels, property, and effects shall become the' property of the said society, and may be sold by them to , defray the expenses Which they may hap bear, piut to in the maintenance and support of the said inmate or ea ndidaie,jnad'his wife and family, and edu cation a. his children, and funeral expenses, if paid by the society, or the same may he held by the said society until the amount which may have been so expended,' as aforeaaid, shall be hilly. repaid. 4. That upon the election of any candidate who may be a minor, the relations and friends of the said minor, or any person who may he trustee or executor of the parent of the said minor, or trustee for him or her, shall, on the election of the said minor, sign a similar declaratien to that mentioned In rule I, in a ease where the said minor is riot °ailed to any property, estate; ot e tru the event of the said minor being entitled • to any property, estate; or effects, then he shall set oot a full, true, and particular description thereof, and in whose hands, possession, or power, the same may be, and shall . sign an authority to the said society, to enable them, on the death or removal of the said minor, to sell and dispose of the said property, estate, and effects, to reimburse themselves the amount expended in the sup port and education of such minor ; or to hold the same until. the amount which they may or shall expend as aforesaid shall be fully repaid to them: 5. Thai, in the event of the said minor having no person who may hold'ah'e chara'cter Of triistee, eieclitor, or #uardian to-him or liela•then the trustees of the said society shall, if they think fit, be' at liberty to appoint some relation, friend, or other person, to act isl that behaieto make arid sign such declaration as aforesaid. 6: That. ip the event of any present iornate or newly: , appointed Coe, whether adult or minor', beooming, after his or her admission to the said institution, entitled to any moneys, property, estate, or effects, the said society shall be entitled to any such property, estate, or effects, to the extent which they may hare or shall ex pend for the maintenance, education, and support of the said inmate or new candidate from the time of his or her admission into the asylum. Mr. Arx.iNsoN, at the request of the tileetii9(r , explained the nature of the altefations and the Iteceasity that existed 'for the Paeienf amendment 'being,earried into effect; fair at the present they had no power of recovering any amount from any person 'who might hare reeeiyed the herie4ts af the, inetitntion, oral after- Ward; become possessed of property- Again, the com mittee had had considerable annoyance and diffieulty to contend with from peranns putting in cjairaa for any prope r ty, h owe ver small, which belong to deceased inmates, although they had never before come forward to render assistance. Ile concluded his observations by moving the adoption of the rules as just read. Mr. J. Atttsox had much pleasure in seconding the proposition, TOT thought that tie siNeg was of ao great importance; that should be well considered. Kr. DENNIS LARNIN disapproved of the alterations altogether, and characterised the conduct of the com mitte as not only illegal, but tyrannical. In fact, as it was said oust of doors, the committee was the whole society, and the members merely went there as- auto- matons, flier. the speaker wls Balled Co order by the chairman. I e proceeded to say that 'the'aSsoeiation had . full powe4 to redress any grievance, if they liked, b,Y regrring it to their solicitor, who was paid for doing such work. . _ _ Ur. RYMER, solicitor, assured Mr. Larkin that the association only paid hitn V(her} they engked him, and as a proof' of that, last year his bill was only £3. 10s. Re also stated that the rules had been drawn on the same basis as those of the Loudon and Birmingham associations, but he would fr4ely tell the members that he thought that there would be some difficulty in carrying out the regulations with reference to infants. In reply to Mr. Itairstow, Mr. ATKA/490N said there had been a case where three children had been got into the institution, and for years re c elyed all the benefits, while the father had only paid in three subscriptions:, And then left After some further conversation, Mr. Luff moved an amendment to the effect, "That the _propositions sub mitted to the meeting be not adopted." Mr. Jackson seconded the amendment. On the amendment was rejected by 42 :o 16. It was then decided that the several propositions should be put seriatim. On the Secretary reading the first' monition, its adoption was moved by Mr. Atkinson, rind seconded by Mr. Tailick, and adopted-46 for, and orily 14' against. On the motion of Mr. May; secondM by Mr. Cowaid, the second proposition was adopted,-56 for,. and 13 against. The third rule, on the motion of Mr. Warriner, seconded by Mr. Tonlmin, was also adopted, 44 voting for it 4 ,iwi 7 against it. The fourth and' fifth clauses in the above proposed rules were then briefly discussed, after which an amend ment was moved that neither of them be . adopted, which was carried, 43 persons voting for the amendment and 21 for the motion. _ _ _ The sixth proposition was unanimously adopted, after expunging the words "minor" and " education," con sequent upon the rejection of the previous proposition. It having been announced that another general meeting would speedily be called, for the purpose of unanimously accorded to the chair confirming the adoption of the propositions agreed a vote of thanks .70 0 man, and the meeting separated.

HARTLEY AS DOC: ENGINEER. From the proceedings of this committee, as read, it appeared that an application from Mr. 14. Samuels, to take on lease 100 square yards of 'land on the east side of Great Howard-street and opposite the Stanley Dock, for the purpose of a retail coal-yard, had been declined.—The suggestion made by Mr. Graces, at the last meeting, for completing the pasiage between the Brunswick and Coburg Docks having been taken , into consideration, it had been resolved that the com mittee could not recommend the work to be undertaken at present. Several of the cranes at the Canada Dock, let to the Bridgewater Trustees, having been broken by . parties in the employ of the trustees, who refuse to repair - them, the matter had been referred to the solici tor.—ln reference to the application of Messrs.

Dawbarn & Co., read at the last meeting, it was re commended that 550 square yards' of laud near the Ptince's Basin be let to them, for a slate and iron yard, at the rent of £llO per annum, subject to six months' notice.—The foundations for a sixty ton crane at Birken head being now in course of completion, it was recom mended that the erection of such crane be now pro ceeded with, at a cost of about £3,soo.—The com mittee having proceeded to consider the resolu tion of the board on the 30th ult., by which it was referred to them to arrange with Mr. John Ber nard Hartley for the_ continuance of his aervices as Dock Engineer of the board, reported, recommending that he be appointed at a salary of £3,00 per annum, with the. understanding that he should have efficient assistance in the performance df the duties of his office. BROCKLEBANK moved the confirmation of the proceedings. There were two rather important points to which he should wish to call attention. The first was the erection of the crane at the Birkenhegd docks, .The question was brought before the hoard some time ago. It was then decided by the board that .it should not he Rpeeeded with—that the foundations should be put iu, but that the crane should not be erected without further consideration. It was thought desirable by the committee that they should now have the crane, and they had recommended accordingly. He believed there was at present considerable applicution for crane accom modation at Bithentread, which the board could not supply. This wag one of the, grounds on which they recommended its erection at present. In erecting syh a crane as that, it Would be applicable to many pur poles,—not only for pitting beAns in steamers (and they hoped for a gonaiderable amount of business of that kind, by the way) but likewise for roasting vessels. They had no means at present of doing so. It seemed a crane of very great power ; but what a twenty-ton crane would do, a sixty-ton crane would do, EtTv.i, it could do what a twenty-ton crane (191 d, riot do. (gear, hear.), The next point was the, appointment of )\.cr. Hartley as engiyeT. of the board ; and he must say that no resolution *Nell he had ever asked them to confirm gave him more pleasure than the one he. had now to propose. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Hartley'S merits as an engineer, and his many other merits, were well known .to the board and the public: therefore it was quite unnecessary for hint to enlarge upon them. It was of great iniEurtc.,nce to that board that they should have a gentleman who had 4 thorough hnowledge of every part of the works, and 4et only of' the works, but of e ver y p ar t o f t h e dock Mate. This thorough knowledge Mr. Hartley possesses. He trusted that this would he a permanent engagement, and he hoped, that his health would be so far re-esta, blished, by. relaxation from the ardupos dikties which he had to perform, that he would be able at Tice, oil his return, to take tbern up -- . Many subjects had been pressed . upon him which, really hiirdly came with the province of the engineer ; and the Committee of Works considered it desirable that he should have an efficient gentleman , under him to attend to many 'ol tbe details which had generally, perhaps improperly, been put upon the engineer, They must be prepared, when the proper time arrived, to find such a man, and to retain him at such a salary as would secure the services Oa really efficient gentleman. He moved tie ?on n fir ro ati on of to proCeedV! . . . Ra.rimx had great pleasure in seconding the motion. With regard to the crane at Birkenhead, it was exceedingly desirable that every facility should be given to draw vessels to that quarter, and withovt such appliances they could not expect vessels to frequent it. With respect to Mr. Hartley, no one at the board could too highly appreciate his services, which were snore almost than Mortal man could accomplish ; and he trusted he would endeavour to find some person to assist him, to be mqeh like what he was himself when his name was assooiate4 with that of bis respected father. The eHAIRKA:s; rose to say that he cordially concurred in the observations made by the chairman of the 'Works Oaninittee and Nr. Rankin with Tefiarenoe tnthe ger- vices of 34T. 4aTtley, and he hoped the recommepdation would he adopted unanimously ; he was sure it was for the best interests of the board that it should ba so, and he might state that it was with reluctance that Mr. Hartley accepted the offer which the Works Committee had thought proper •to make. The labours of Mr. Hartley were , so severe that he had seriously impaired . . . his health. He trusted. tinit a little relaxation would restore that health, moving as they did how able he was to perform those services, and haying experience of tile way in which he had performed them during the life of his lamented father, in whose latter years Mr. l'ohn Hartley had been really and truly the engineer of the estate. (Applause.) Mr. B„enur was sure there would be no difference at the beard as to the recommendation to appoint Mr. Hartley,eand no feeling but one of gratification that he had consented to take the office. He should not trouble them any more upon that point ; but, with respect to the crane at Birkenhead, he n.Anqt confess he was rather taken by stirprise at the subject being brought forward Wilt so soon. Itt was not many weeks since the board, after full discussion, had come to the conclusion that there was no necessity for such a crane at Birk.enhead— that the cranes at Liverpool were more than sufficient for the trade of the port; that they were net fully em ployed ; that they qid not pay a percentage on their outlay.; end that, therefore, the erection of this crane at Birkenhead should be postponed for a season, till they eve whether it would be used if erected, and that there was some probability of their getting a return for. the money which it would cost. Now the chairman of the Works Committee had ste t ted nothing more than a vague inipeession, that this might be, or sho u ld be a t a f uture time, II necessity—that after a time they might mast ships there,-or put in boilers, which, for anything they had heard, had never been made; and .he :had not heard of a single specific application for crane accom modation. He should be ready to vote for that crane, or any other facility, when he saw that trade was there requiring accommodation ; but he protested against this or. any other outlay on speculation, on the chance of business which might never pule, and which they had no reare to think would come. If 'ply gentleman 'there could state specifically that- he knew of steamers wanting to be fitted at Birkenhead, or who knew of vessels ready to go into Birkenhead docks to be masted, then he should he ready to sustain the recommendation ; but till then must still oppose the erection of the crane. He moved that, that part of the proceedings be not confirmed. No one seconded the amendment. Mr. LAIRD said the two subjects were of considerable importance : one more so than the other,—he ellu,ded to the appointment of Mr. Hartley. Noone.more c.ordially agreed than himself with the eulogiurns, and he spoke from considerable eTperience. He considered that from the time Hartley's father had come there., na trust had been so efticiently served, or so economically, as that trust had been. He believed they had nearly used up Mr. John Hartley in their service, and he only hoped that he would go away, and that he could recommend to them some assistant to relieve him of duties which might still be performed under his direction. Now, as to the crane. Mr. Boult had said that if he heard of one application, be might change his mind. He (Mr. Laird) had had several—he had one from a firm largely engaged in trade to the East Indies. Fe laelieved the crane would pay well ; and as a proof, had practised what he was saying. He had at his awn cost, in, his own small cloA, put up a crane which cast £.1009 . i and he forma, with the'limited business which he did, that it was paying him well. Now, nothing would do more to induce +rad e ; and the eepeiriug of vessels, than that would do there. At thets meeting last week, Mr. Hartley had stated that he could net permit steamers to be tried in the docks on th e Li verpoo l side, bi\t, that they might he in the Birkenh ea d Float. law, he did not see that vessels could go to lse repaired there, or to pi their engines, unless they had this crane. Of course his guarantee wood he worth n o thi ng; b id he should like n 9 better than to take seven years' lease of it,. at five per cent., and he should make a good thing of it. The recommendation of the Works Committee was unanimous. The decision of the board before was not that the crane was not wanted, and Mr. 13,ontt admitted the necessity of the foundations being put W.' As they were about to open the Float, he trusted that The board would carry out the, ifsUoßimendation which the com mittee had unanimously made at a very large meeting. Mr. Mcilep,net,., said they p ropose d t h at M r. H ar tl e y should succeed his father as engineer of the Dock Board, He should like to know whether it was the intention of the hoard to name any portion of the docks or towers With, the name of Jesse Hartley. (Hear, hear.) Some monument -to his memory, and of respect for the services eot which he h a d ren d ered since he first began, was . du to the man ; and h e s h ou ld lik e t o re fer it to the F Committee to con s id er th e que stion.

From these it appeared that two lucifer matches had been found amongst some loose coir yarn, as it was being landed from a vessel; and that a whole box of lucifer matches . had been thrust into a bale of cotton discharged from another ship. On the motion of Mr. Hnbback, seconded by Mr. Arnold, the proceedings were confirmed. The proceedings of the Marine Committee were then read. From these it appeared that a wilful obstruction to the line of telegraph between the Great Ormahead and Voel Nant had been found, and that the matter is under investigation. A letter from the Trinity Board was read, giving the sanction of the elder brethren of that corporation to the proposed alteration of buoys in Hilbre Wash, &c., ren dered necessary or advisable by the alterations in the Channel, as stated in the report of the marine surveyor last week. It appeared that Lieutenant Parks had been up in London to make the necessary explanations on the subject. The proceedings were confirmed, as were also those of the Pilotage Committee. It appeared from the proceedings of the Committee of Management of the Docks and Quays, that a claim for damage having been sent in for injuries sustained by the Ocean Bride, by being grounded in the Toxteth Dock, an inspection and report upon the subject had been ordered. —The Engineer had reported that in six weeks it would be necessary to take down the shed on the east quay of the Huskisson Dock, and recommended its re erection .at the Queen's Dock. —It Was recommended that the necessary notice should be given for runni ng dry the Canning ho c k an d half-tide ll'E;ein, after evening tide on the 11th of October. Mr. Boult haying racied the confirmation of the proceedings, The CHAIRMAN said, with reference to working the engines of steamers in dock, he had been requested to say that the engineer did not object to their being worked at the same speed as the Ulster's had been •in the Sandon Dock ; or to the speed of ten or twelve strokes per minute in the Canada and Huskisson Docks. Mr. FaRTLFX—There can be no possible objection in the locks; if they can be spared,becau2e there is no mui" there. Mr. TOBIN said it, WAS satisfactory to know that it. would be allowed in any place where the engineer could certicy that. 4 could be done without injury, for it was of great importance that such facilities should be given. The proceedings were then confirmed, as were- also those of the Master Porterage Committee. A long letter was read from Mr. Wawa, Ilowe, 'suggesting the advantage of tha elevator system in working cargoes of cont, as a means of giving those facilities so iitgetatly demanded by the cow tradvs and relieving he cock and quay space. It could be applied with little expense to the existing warehouses; and the writer entered into calculations to show the superior economy of such a scheme, as contnisted with the em ploitnent of manual labour. Al* HVIIBA.OK observed that it was quite impossible to apply it to their present warehouses : . 13,nt the letter was referred to the Warehouse Committee. Mr. Momom.'s notice of motion was then read as follows:—" That it be referred to the Finance Com mittee to consider tb,e propriety of erecting some memo rial or testirnonia -to. the memory. of the late Jesse Hartley., who, so, long. and ably perfomod his duties as engineer. to, the dock estete." • In answer to a questioa by Mr. Derbyshire, Mr. 11....un0t.N stated that there was n o grea t difficulty now in getting masons for the dock works in progress. This Was the whole of the public business. THE COURT, OSTiORNE, Sept. 19. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort walked and drove in the grounds yesterday afternoon.

Ooulborn had been brought to their present state. These circumstances are now so well known to our readers, from the reports of the meetings of the Wal lasey Board of Health which have appeared in our columns, that if is unnecessary in repeat-*them here. The speaker stated that it was not for him to dictate to the meeting the course which it should pursue. He explained that even if the 00,00 were paid, and the ferries - taken possession of, the Seacombe people could at any minute he turned out by Mr. Penny. If, under these circumstances, they were of opinion that the matter should be allowed to go on, of course they would take no further steps • if they were of .e, contrary' opinion, they would probably assent to the resolutions about to be proposed.—Two resolutions were then put by the chairman, only one of which found a proposer, and was carried. It was to the effect that the step about to be taken by the Board of Health was a prema ture ore..—A third motiou was subsequently put and carried, as to the adoption of a memorial expressing this view.—After votes of thanks to the chairman, and to Mr. Hill, the proceedings terminated.

Amor.gst the recent improve ments the new "fountain pen," just introduced by 'Rudhall and Co. is the ly.st we have ever seen , By a simple hut efre4. , - live contrivratee the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib , and this bat rel can be taken out at any time , so the p e n c an b e kept perfectly clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feature in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for live minut es ' quick'writing. The pen iiself is of the &lest description, an d in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will be. found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. we hate tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall, South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are sure all whn use it will give a full verdict in its favour. ...... - OCO4SIMPTION, COrOn, AsTIIMA, ANTI BRONCHITIS CURABLE.. 6, j believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound' and Aniseed (as prepared by .211 r. ilartiii, of 22, Copperas hill, Lirerpool,? will prove of inure value, in eases of bron chitis and incipient eoustssnption, than any other remedy „t w o; It t•elieres the most irritating tough In a few minutes ,- and, although it COntailiS no preparatioq of opium, it induces sound and refreshing sleep, soothes the nervous system, and restores the healthy action of the lungs."
