DEPARTURE or THE Etnoras.--:-The British dna North American Royal Mail steamship Europa, Captain Leitch, sailed from this port, on Saturday, for Halifax and Roston, taking the mails for the United States, a fair cargo, and about sixty passengers. 110IITIER 4 f ON BOARD THE SEAAEW.—On Saturday, at the Birkenhead Police court, William Ford, a stoker on hoard R.M.S. Seamew, lying in the'Sloyne, was charged I L' s th having stolen two -a notes, the property of the thief-engineer of the vessel. The prisoner has disposed 'of the notes to a man in Birkenhead, named Whillegan, for *about one-third of their value. He was committed for trial, and direCtieds were given for the apprehension of thillegan on the charge of receiving the notes know- Ingthem to have been stolen. DIVIN E SERVICES FOR NON-ATTENDANTS AT PLACES °T. WOR,IIIP.---Lad evening the last of a series of Divine Services at Hengler's Circus was held; Dr. 11 ' 2 'Teile officiating. The attendance was, as asual, extremely large ; the greater part being composed of work ing fine promoters of 'aide sir/icea hive certainly sticceeded in their object; for, daring the last frw Sjulclair evenings, the class fol *lsom the services g " ere sPacially designed Mustered' in strong number s, and nothi n Corild have exceeded the devotion with which they lieehad to the precepts spoken by the variotis 6 i i iii 4 Cis Who ' addressed them. TUE IRISH EXODU4 VROM LIV.ERPOOL.—The official returns of the essalgration from the Mersey have just beell cal liPlc 4 sed, and present extraordinary results, espe cially as legards the great exodus of the Irish popula "h; the vessels loading here being scarcely able to a ccommodate the number applying. The retorts report that during the past month 197 cabin and 9,705 steerage 13a ssmageis (9,992 souls) sailed in ships "under the act" to the United States, of whom 8,0 3 7 belonged to Ireland, 1,40 8 to En g l an d, 165 to Scotland, while 187 were inhabitants of other countries. In the previous month, 8 ., ‘ 0 cabin and 6,529 steerage passengers sailed from the .."'erseY from New York. It is curious to notice the Paucity of Irish passengers on board the steamers sailing Isere weekly, and "under the act." Four sai led for the united States, carrying 157 cabin and 758 steerage passengers, 553 of whom were English, 78 Scotch, only short ships" carried to the United States 115 souls ; 'whilst the Canadian mail steam-ships carried to the States SO cabin and 56 steerage passengers, and to -` C b altada 40 ca bi n an d 400 s t eerag e passengers. To iCew :tertkeilsge Nvicki two "short ships," with 11 cabin and five passengers sailed. The Australian emigration 15 limited to two ships, "under the act," with 31 cabin and 816 steerage passengers (748 adults) -283 English, 79 Scotch, 388 Irish, and 66 of other countries. "Short "Pis" conveyed 2 cabin and 45 steerage passengers. To s °Oh America four ships, "not under the act," have carried 19 cabin and 7 steerage passengers. To the East Indies, 3 cabin pass , eng ers were conveyed by the John Wei* t West Indies 10 cabin passengers were al "in • To the 1 ., -°ll/e yed; and to Africa 20 passengers were carried out the royal mail steam-ship Armenian, and 6 per the Olincla to Old C a l a b ar . At p r esent the tide of emigra tion is on the flood, and likely to continue.

CU.RIOUS CHARGE ~..~-~ OF MANSLAUGHTER madeAn e e x a tr m e. Orer dclinneasrayaC,,h.!:rgEeaosftbMciurannSel7bgeufhotio:eri was. ev, a Ihrby : chairman, agtusi Timm schoolmaster, who was accused of havhig killed one of his pupils, named Reginald The Rev. J. H. Cancellof, brother of the deceased boy, last 'saw hird alive in February. He died on the 25th of April, - and the witness then carne to Eastbourne, in consequence of hear ing what took place at the inquest. I asked Mr. Hopley why a medical man had not been sent for directly he discovered that the boy Was dead. He said that I must make allowance for his agitation at the time. He had recently been so shocked at findinr , him dead that he didn't wish an y bod y else .t t 'o go suddenly into the room. His first impulse was'to lock the door, and then go for a medical man. The witness, after describing the interview with Mr. Hopley, proceeded as folfoirs : —I then said, , " Mr. Hopley, you told my father that you left my brother's room about ten ; I find froni the report of the inquest that you there stated that you left at half-past eleven ; and how was it that Screams were heard from my brother's bedroom when you told my father he was pun ished down stairs?" He said, "I wished to spare your father's feelings, and so did not wish to go into painful details." Mr. Hopley said to me that he carried the .boy up to his. bedroom; because he would not go when told ; and he punished him in his bedroom. He told me that my brother took no notice of the punishment till after the last flogging, when he burst into a flood of tears; and then, ho said, my brother put his hand on his breast, and asked to be allowed to say his lessons. Mr: Hopley told me, in answer to my question; . that he did not faint nor swoon. I asked hitt If he drew blood when he flogged him, and whether there were any marks of blood. The prisoner—You say you asked me how it was' hat screams were heard at such and such an hour ? Witness—l did. • Prisoner—Not a word. of the sort was ever said. You also say that you put some questions to me about faintiag and swooning ? Witness — I did. Prisoner - -I say nothing of the sort was said. It is a question whose word is to be taken. Sir Charles Locock first spoke to me about swooning, and then I expressed my surprise, and asked one of the servants who sleeps in the next room to the deceased ; but it was useless to ask any of the other servants, because they sleep at the bottom of the house, Alice Deacon, housemaid to prisoner, said—l remember the death of deceased. On Saturday, 2ist April, at half-past nine in the evening, Mr. Hopley told me to send deceased to him in the dining-room. I went to the mess-room and told him, and that was the last time I saw him alive. He was then in his usual health. About a quarter to ten I heard Mr. Hopley and Master Cancellor in the room.. Mr. Hopley called him to the pupil room, and after he had been there about five minutes I heard him beat him. I waited up till nearly eleven to take 'Master Cancellor's candle. He did not go to bed, and so I went to my bed room, which is at the bottom of the house. Master Cancellor's bedroom was at the top of the house, which is four stories high. -He cried when he Was beating him, and sometimes ran about the room. It continued off and on from a quarter to ten to nearly half-past. eleven, so far as I heard. Master Canceilor went to his bedroom about half past eleven or twenty minutes to twelve. It seemed by the noise they made going up stairs that Mr. Hopley: was either carrying or pushing him up. • - Mr. S .;adding----Have you seen what he beats the lads with ? Witness—l have seen him take up a rope. The Chairman—That is no evidence in this case. Witness continued—On Sunday morning I saw blood on the carpet in the pupil room. It seemed as if it had been powLred and rubbed. After I had done that room I went up to Mr. Hopley's dressing room, and I saw in a chair - a pair of trousers and drawers. The left leg of the drairers, and also the left leg of the trousers, had been washed out and were wet. One sock was also wet, and the 'other sock had marks of - blood on it. They were Master Cancellor's. In Mrs. Hopley's bedroom I saw that two dusters had been washed out ; they were lying on the floor. There was a sheet in the dressing-room with marks of blood on it. I went up . into the room next to Master Cancellor's room, and heard Mr. and Mrs. Hopley in his room. At a quarter past eight Mr: Hopley rang his dressing-room bell, and called me' in. He told me he had been to Master Cancellor's bedroom, and had found him dead ; and that he and Mrs. Hopley had made him comfortdble, and put on him a clean night shirt.- I asked Mr. Hopley if I could help him ; he said I might help Mrs. Hopley after break fast. ',Mi. 'Hopley. said lie would send for his friends and Dr. Roberts. Ellen - Fowler, nursemaid, and Fanny Holland, cook, were also examined. Dr. Robert Willis, of Barnes, Surrey, who made a post-mortem examination of the body, said that the lad died of fainting, or syncope, from the immediate effects of this personal violence, the severe punishment which he had received. - After a lengthy hearing of upwards of seven houra, the prisoner _was committed to take his trial at the assizes, bail being"acceptod, himself in £l,OOO, and two sureties in £5OO each. The court was crowded throughout the inquiry, and .the case created great excitement in the town. COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES'. *ELLS V. WELLS AND RTISHBY.. This was a petition on thepaitoi the husband, Frederick Wells, praying for a dissolution of his co-respondent, b e s i3 y n n r d e n a n s t o , n a of and his wife'sntn recoveradu adultery er y damageswh i with marriage against the latter, who denied the adultery. It appeared from the evidence that the peti tioner was a railway porter, and resided at the village of New Lake, Lincolnshire, and that the co-respondent, Rushby, was a farmer in the same neighbourhood. The marriage took place in 1854, and the alleged adultery was said to have commenced in 1858 with the co-respondent, Rushby, who availed himself of the absence of the husband from home, attending to his' duties at the railway, to seduce the wife of the peti tioner, and induced her to leave her husband, and they were afterwards traced living at various places, and cohabiting together as man and wife. Mr. Overend addressed the jury on behalf of the co-respondent, not denying the adultery, but confining himself to a reduction of damages. The learned'Sudge summed up. CALLWELL v. CALLWELL AND KENNEDY. The petitioner, Mr. William Callwell, was a gentleman of property in Kildare. He married the respondent on the 16th of March, 1850, ai:d had had three daughters by her. In 1858, while he was in London on business, she eloped with the co-respondent, who was a friend of the family. On the 9th of Stine she sent the follow ing letter to her husband, at the Conservative Club, in London. It was written at Dover, before she crossed over to the continent with her paramour :—" I am wine, William, for ever. I never dared to tell , you all my deceit and treachery. Curse me, for you may well do so, for lam a curse to all I belong to. Oh ! I feel well assured that you will be better off without such a miserable wretch.--Farewell." Mr. Henry Callwell, the brother of the petitioner, • subse quently went to her at Munich and brought her home with him. She was confined at Norwood of another child on the 19th of November ; but she afterwards renewed her intercourse with the co-respondent. The jury found for the petitioner, and assessed the damages in the full amount claimed--03,000. The decree was suspended, in order to allow an application to be made with respect to the settle ments and the disposition of the sum awarded as ,mages. THE PRUSSIAN ARMY.--A Berlin letter says :—" The Prince Regent has approved of the works proposed to be executed in the course of the present year for the com pletion of military ports at Jasmund, in the Isle of Rugen, and at Jande. A great deal of money was spent in these projects under the preceding Cabinet without any great result having been attained. The report of General Stavenhagen on the military part of the bills relative to the Prussian army is terminated, and is now being printed. It ,pronounces against the demands of the Government, aria proposes to reduce the duration of the service to two years for the infantry, and three for cavalry, and to allow non-commissioned officers to attain the grade of officer. Curiosity is felt as to whether the Government will decide on incurring the risk of having the measure discussed and voted on by the chamber, or will prefer to take for a year only the sums required, in conformal with the proposition of M. Kuhner, so as to gain time. Petitions against the bill continue to reach the chamber ; one of them is from 500 of the principal inhabitants of Dusseldorf. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.—The 57th anniversary meeting of the Sunday School Union was held in Exeter Hall, which was crowded. In the unavoidable absence of the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, the chair was occupied by Mr. Alderman Abbis. There was a large muster of the lay and clerical supporters of the union on the platform. Dr. Archer, having offered a prayer, the chairman congratulated the union on having arrived. at the 57th year of its existence. It seemed to him to grow stronger as it grew (Add. He was glad to see that it did not circumscribe its usefulness, and that its opera tions embraced the world. Mr. Watson read the report, from which ft appeared that the union was issuing eight periodicals, the yearly circulation of which was 1,340,352 copies. The trade operations of the union had increased, the sales at the depository having amounted to £ 1 7 ,041. 3 s. 6d., b e i ng £2,277 i n a d vance of ftlieprevio us year.

I do not get angry when anybody calls me an old bachelor, etc. My temper is proof against such petty charges. But I feel considerably hurt I hear somebody assert that I could not t g f e ir . .‘ , .•ould. not be a bachelor to-day. -1 many of my young I empitatleillY dell If ) , - if they chose lady acquaintances Cotild day M yak. -417 to speak the truth.

My shirts then would not be buttonless, nor my home comfortless; nor would there be such a longing for something somewhere beneath my waistcoat. I Might, also, have had two or three little prattling angels to dangle on my knee, and call me " papa." I never hear a lisping child give utterance to that dissyl lable but I wish it was addressed to me. I know some of my readers will call me childish, but by way of apology I will say that I am very fond of little children—especially round..faced, smiling ones—and that my home need not excite the envy of any unfortunate Benedict. But I must go on with my story. I have a very susceptible heart—so much so in fact that I can never see a pretty sorrowful face without being irresistibly drawn towards the owner. My deepest sympathies are awakened in a moment ; and as I never stop to consider the consequences, they are sometimes received rather coldly. As a general thing, however, they are readily appreciated. Such was the case when my friend Bob in troduced me to the pretty widow Burnett. She was young—very young just arrived at that attractive age when widows are so interesting. Her person showed gracefulness in every move ment. Her features, though faultless, wore a tinge of sadness, as if some secret grief were tugging at her heartstrings. She very seldom laughed, but she smiled that sweet, melancholy smile which even stoical old bachelors can never resit t. There must have been a corresponding attrac tion--a secret blending, as it were, of our feelings —for we had not been in company more than a few minutes before we were as friendly as if we had been acquainted for years. She related to me, with artless confidence, some of the troubles 4. ale Want, of a proper person to look after her affairs. There was something peculiarly._touching_in. the soft cadences of her musical voice. A common ob server might have seen that her heart echoed her words; for when, in the course of the evening, her thoughts reverted to her lost husband, her lips quivered, and her eyes filled with tears. I truly felt for her ; and I was rendered so far happy as to know that my sympathies were received with the same genuine spirit of sincerity with which they were expressed. We parted mutually pleased with each other. She begged I would visit her as often as I found it convenient to do so- r —which invitation, the reader may be sure, I cordially accepted. She had a comfortable home; a comfortable income, and that sweet, benign manner so cep tivatiirr in a hostess. 1 soon found it convenient to visit ° her pretty often. We always occupied her little front parlour. She sat at one end of the table with her sewing--for she was very industrious--whilel read from a volume of poems, stopping now and then to remark on some fine passage, or gaze at my beautiful listener. I was well aware that such an amusement was a very dangerous one for our hearts—especially when no interference was likely to be met with. But who cared? If love did creep in, a few words before a certain religious functionary would prove a sure remedy for his boldness. So, to the no small astonishment of those friends who considered me too dull for the society of ladies, we passed our evenings with equal pleaStire and satisfaction to both. One, evening, two months after our first meet ing, we were spending the time as usual, when our conversation turned to the .death of her husband. This was the only piece of confidence she had kept locked in her boSona ; for; as the subject gave her pain, I bad Wisely forbore from broaching it. This evening, however, she honoured me with her full confidence. _ _ _ Harry Burnett had been a large-hearted, hand some ship-captain. His many noble qualities won her heart, and they were married. Three weeks after he left her to conduct his ship home, intending, at her request, to give up his business, and make a living on shore. " Alas !" continued the weeping widow, "he never returned. His ship was lost at sea, and none of the • crew, except a broken-legged old sailor, lived to relate • the melancholy tact: I loved him well—perhaps too well—for, though ten long months have elapsed since I heard of his Untimely end, there is still a. cheerless void in my bosom which I fear can never be refilled." Here, Overcome by her emotions, - she buried her face in her hands, and wept bitterly. If any of my bachelor readers have ever been placed in the same position they can imagine my feelings. A pretty weeping woman is a sight to melt the hea,rL of auy . man,but when OITA Woman holds a prominent place in your affections, you are generally sure to make a fool of yourself. Reason is drowned in the intensity of your feel ings. If your next movement insured your death blow you could not avoid it. It is not to be wondered at then if I found myself unconsciously sliding off my . chair and .keeling at her feet. Heaven knows what I was going to say ; my brain was on fire. I believe I caught her two hands in mine, and was on the point of begging her to accept me to fill up that " cheerless void" in her bosom. My thoughts, however, never found vent, for the next moment a - severe blow fr . = an unseen hand laid me sprawling on the carpet. I do not believe that I saw stars, but I have an indiStint notion of seeing the room whirling round at a rate that threatened destruction to all concerned. I fancied, too, that I heard a shriek, but whether mine or the widow's remains a mystery. When I had collected •my senses sufficiently, I sprang to my feet, and the • first object my eyes rested upon. was the pretty widow clasped in the brawny arms of . a middle-sized giant. The truth flashed upon me at once ; this was her lost hus band. I did not stop to enquire, but dashed through the door, and hurried home as fast as possible. The next morning I received a note from the ex -widow, begging me to look on the past as something not to be remembered, and to forgive her husband for his rudeness. .Then followed an account of his miraculous escape from a baud - of Indians who had held him in captivity, etc.; etc. I hurled the note into the fire. Matrimony was banished froth my thoughts. _I forgave her husband the blow, though my head ached two days afterward, but I could not help wishing the . Indians had placed a better guard over their prisoner to prevent his escape. Tst STRENGTH OF THE MILITIA.--A recent Parlia mentary return shows that when:the militia was first called out for training, the numbers of the, isembodied militia in , attendance were 44,340 ; the absentees were no less than 30,557. Let us hope that it will be other wise this year. The regiments , are now to be called out simultaneously. It is curious to observe a difference in the returns tor the three kingdoms. In Scotland, the absentees, though numerous enough, were not half so many as the number in attendance; in ,England, the absentees were equal to two-thirds of the number who presented themselves ; in Ireland, the absentees would really have made almost as large an army as those who were present, for 9,037 attended, and 7,937 were absent. Of the embodied militia the effective strength at present is 623,735 ; the number wanting to complete the force up tQ its nominal strength, 8,831. FRANCE AND ENGLAND.—A CONTRAST.—It is calcu lated by Mr. Greg, in his "Essay on Political and Social Science," that the labouring classes in Great Britain, not including Ireland, are threefold more numerous than the class possessing property. It may be said, and should be borne in mind, that this vast majority of manually-working men do not possess sufficient property of any kind to prevent their feelings from being entirely on one side of any question that may be raised between capital and labour. It would be inapt 'to stylethem all pro let a i re s, as the unpropertied, th e nee d y, workmen of called; and, .happily, industri ous h a bi ts, free envy, and respect f or th e Pldaoawniri,sfrhaoranieve thfoereYrinianpyassiaognes of envy, the English people. In France, on the other sand, the calculation is, that two-thirds of the entire population are pro prietors—against one 2c10,11.030 quarter in England. Out of 2,0 were found to form the landedto° 0,00 of souls, proprietary, 7,000,000 form e d th e town popula tion, 3,000,0 00 were agricultural labourers and their families, and the remaining 2,000,000 were ar ti sans 3 es employed in agricultural di s t r i cts. Hence the vast majority of the French people feel the .Conservative interest attaching to the possession of hereditary landed property, while the vast majority of the English are dependent on weekly wages for their daily bread. It was that interest which, in 1848, refified to be taxed to find work and wages for the, proletaires of Paris, and therefore sided with the army when' the insurgents were suppressed.. Universal suffrage and the ballot are safely entrusted to the masses in a country where the masses pay the largest, proportion of direct taxation ; whereas the sam e power, if conferred in England, would, by giving the numerical majority the great voice in decid ing' legislative questions, be the predominance of the receivers of wages over those wha pay them----the supre macy of the interests of labour over the interests of D u blin University Magazine. HoLLoway's PiLLs.—General debility, low spirits, and nervous irritation are the consequences of dyspepsia or indi gestion. The pills soon give tone to the stomach, renovate the digestive powers, purify the blood, and give strength to the whole system. Sluggishness of the body and depression of the mind are succeeded by a cheerful activity of the physical and mental functions. Indigestion is the parent of so many evils, and is so common, so almost universal a complaint, that it is a great blessing that such a remedy as this invaluable medicine should. have been discovered. No one need long suffer from indigestion with these pills at hand. 3 THE DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, MAY 7, 1860. AUSICAL DRAMATIC, - iITERARY; 'AND CORRESPONDENCE. ARTISTIC NEWS AND GOSSIP, _ . .

Sra,' 'While yoluntarilly assisting at the fire in the Sailors' Home, on the . 29th ultimo, I receited a con tused scalp wotindi besides other slight injuries, froth which lam at present 6:rl eying. About one o'clock in the morning of the above date, F assisted three sailors in effecting their escape down the ladders at the south sic of the building.

We here continued our labtiurs with unabated crei.tionE, and succeeded in gaining admittance to an adjoining room at the west end. It was here, in obedience to orders of the superintendent Mr. Hewitt, that I was about to proceed further, when a portion of the burning ruins fell upon me and inflicted the wounds above stated in the presence of Mr. Hewitt. Afterwards I assisted in releasing James Clark, who died in the Southern Hospital. I applied for and obtained medical relief at the North Dispensary, and continued a patient until Friday, the 4th instant. In the meantime I applied to Major Greig for recompense f* damage to my clothes. I was rewarded with the amount of 2s. 6d. I obtained a note of admittance to the Royal Infir mary, but owing to the number of patients I was unable to gain admittance. I received a recommenda tion to the Workhouse Hospital. I was here refused admission until I was examined by the parish doctor. I was examined by the surgeon, and received a note to adniit me to the Workhouse Hospital. When I arrived at the hospital, at 3 p.m., on the sth instant, I was informed it was too late. I enquired for Mr. Peard, but no one would tell me where he lived. _ _ It is quite true (says the Critic), as has been reported, that a season of English opera is projected by Mr. Smith at Drury-lane Theatre; but we fear that the further rumour that Madame Catherine Hayes is to be the prima donna is not so well founded. We say " fear," because, as that accomplished songstress is still in the very zenith of her powers, it would be good news for the musical world to bear that she was about to appear in English opera. - Let us hope, however, that, if this vague promise is not destined to be fulfilled, we shall find Madame Hayes's name more frequently in the concert and oratorio bills of this season than we did in those of the last. It is, indeed, not less extraor dinary than true that, whilst she is received with the utmost enthusiasm throughout the provinces—whilst Manchester, Liverpool, and Glasgow welcome her with thorough appreciation and warmest applause—in the metropolis only this great national singer is kept studi ously in the background, and treated with studied neglect.. To what petty cabals and despicable jealousies this crying injustice is due we do not intend now to explain; but we are not quite sure whether it would not be the more honest course to lay bare before the public the intrigues, the back-stairs influence, and the critical venality employed to deceive them into applaud ing pretty little Italian nobodies and pianoforte playing automatons, whilst really great artists are left compara- Now, Sir, as I am ,a stranger in Liverpool (a native of Manchester), will you be good enough to inform me if there are any rules in the Liverpool Workhouse Hospital to prevent a man accidentally injured, as I have been, to be admitted without all this circumlocution.

It is to be an exact transcript of the original, which will be first traced, page by page, and then lithographed in fac-simile.

Chevalier Bunsen, ive are informed, is going to leave Heidelberg, and will take up his future abode at Bonn, in order to pursue the literary labours which he has in THE FIRST dUARREL MADE UP.—He only stood still at the top of the stairs, arid said, "Maggie, you're to come down." But she rushed to him, and clung round his neck, sobbing, "0 Tom, please forgive nie—l can't bear it—l will always be good—always remember things—do love me, please, dear Tom." We learn to restrain ourselves as we get older. We keep apart when we have quarrelled, express ourselves in well-bred phrases, and in this way preserve a dignified alienation, showing =tell firmness on one side, and swallowing much grief on the other. We no longer approximate in our behaviour to the mere inipulsiveness of the lower animals, but conduct ourselves in every respect like members of a highly civilised society. Maggie and Tom were still very much like young animals, and so she could rub her cheek against his, and kiss his .ear in a random sobbing way; and there were tender fibres in the lad that had been used to answer to Maggie's fond ling; sn that he behaved with a weakness quite incon sistent with his resolution to punish her as much as she deserved ; he actually begat to kiss her in return, and say, "Don't cry, then, Maggie=here, Cat a bit o' cake." Maggie's sobs began to subside, and she pta (Art her mouth for the cake and bit a piece, and then Tom bit a piece, just , for company, and they ate together, and rubbed each other's cheeks and brows and noses together while they ate, with a humiliating resemblance to two friendly ponies.—The Mill on the Floss. A BUSINESS QUAKER.—The Quakers are, in the main, as everyone knows, a thrifty, kind-hearted, and undoubt edly honest people; but in some of them, even as among the "world's honest people," love of filthy lucre will predominate. In one of their farming communities lived friend Benjamin and his son. It was their custom to boy up cattle to fatten for sale. One day, Benjamin, junior. had selected a choice portion of stock from a passing drove, and was about to buy, when Benjamin, senior, came along. "Father, I am about to buy these cattle. What lost thee think of them?" "What does he ask ?" " So much." " I guess thee'll get them for less. Offer him $5OO, and wait till morning, if he don't trade." Filial Benjamin assented—made an offer in vain—went home with the old gentleman—slept—and next morning after caring for the stook, mounted his horse to try again to buy the cattle. But on the way he met Benjamin, senior, returning home with the whole herd in question. Benjamin, senior, was wealthy as well as smart ; he had taken an early start and bought the lot. "Thee will let me me have my ' portion,' will thee not ?" asked filial Ben. "No, sonny, of course not ; I've bought the whole; .want 'em all." Isn't that a hard trick to play thy son P and I trusted to thee!" "Ah, tenny," said paterfamilias, reprovingly, "thee must be sharp and wide aut2t. • fruit Nobody.

H. J. Atkinson, chairman of the shipping coin mittee of the Hull Chamber of Commerce, gave evidence before the special committee of the House of Commons, last week, to the effect that he had no doubt vrhatever but that British shipping would benefit if supposing the government of this country were to give notice that on and after a fixed period, say the Ist of January, 1861, all nations which did not place British ships in their respective ports on precisely the same footing as their notional vessels should henceforth be excluded from English colonial trade. VICISSITUDES IN THE LIFE OF A BALLET GlRL.—Last week an inquest was held, before Mr. C. J. Carttar, coroner, at the Druid's Arms, Greenwich, on the body of Alfred Arthur Langdon, aged two years. From the evidence given, it appeared that the mother of the deceased, a young woman, nineteen years of age, was a native of Madrid, and followed the occupation of a ballets dancer at the London theatres. Sbe had placed the deceased and another child, now eight months old, to nurse with a woman at Greenwich in December last, and kept up her payments with tolerable punctuality until Easter last, when her engagement at the meths politan theatre ceasing, she was deprived of the usual means of support for herself and children. On Thurs day week, the nurse, named Thinell, the wife of a Greenwich pensioner, was compelled, in order to obtain proper nourishment for the deceased and the other child, to have recourse to the relieving officer. Oa the follow ing day (Friday) the mother sent a Post-office order to the nurse for 10s., being the whole amount she had been able to obtain during a period of four weeks. On the Sunday, while being fed, the deceased, as was thought, was taken in a fit and almost instantly expired. A pet mortem examination of the body, which presented a very emaciated appearance, and weighed scarcely more than 101 b., was ordered by the coroner ; and the evidence of Mr. HollingswOrth, surgeon, proved that death had resulted from snffocation, the deceased having, it is sup posed, from a long want of proper nourishment, been so voracious in its swallowing that, from its weakly and debilitated state, it bad not sufficient power to relieve itself of food placed in its mouth, which, with the stomach, was found full after death. The other child was also in so emaciated a condition that it was at once taken to the Greenwich Union, where it now remains. The mother, who was in the inquest-room, was ieterrogated by the coroner, and stated that the father of the child now living was a medical student at the London rniversity Hospital, but had not contributed towards its support. The father of the deceased, who was a person in a " respgctable" position in life, had not furnished her with any means towards its support during the last twelve months. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony. THE VOLUNTARY-SYSTEM.—The Essex County Court, sitting at Colchester, has been occupied with a curious case, in which a Dissenting minister sought to recover a sum of £l4 155., balance of salary alleged to be due to him, at the rate of 255. a week. The correspondence under which the plaintiff was engaged was as follows.— " Colchester, Jan. 3, 1859. My dear Brother,—At a church held on the 2nd of January, it was agreed alinost unanimously to invite you, if disengaged, to supply our pulpit for three months, in view to the.pastorate, under the consideration that you can stipulate the conditions under which yeti would undertake such a call. You are somewhat aware of the disadvantages we have been in under the failing of supplies of temporals. The hope is that under a change and a more settled state there would be no doubt but this would increase. We wish you fully to state your own views in the matter, and also when you could commence your labours among us. If your way appears providentially clear, I have no doubt the friends would do all their power to make you comfortable. We are provided next Sabbath only, therefore should be glad to hear from you as early as convenient. lam not aware of the slightest obstacle in your way, but, of course, am not in a position to say more on the subject till we have •your mind upon it. With Christian love, we are, truly yours, in Christian bonds, S. OHISWELL. P.S. You will understand me when I say 'almost unanimously.' One weak brother stated he thought we were not in a position to support this. We did not entertain it, but I like to be as correct as I can."—The plaintiff replied :—"Jan. 10, 1859. My dear Brother,—l was not at home when your letter arrived,'so I answer it as soon as possible. I hope it finds you and family and all the friends well. I do accept of your invitation, feeling, under the providence of God, that it is the way lam to take. If the salary will suit you as a people, I was thinking about £7O a-year, to .be paid monthly or quarterly, which the friends think best ; also, after all other expen se is p aid, give me the surplus if the congregation increase ; but if you think that the church cannot raise the above sum named, send me word, stating what sum they can raise. Also, will the church bear the expense of removing my goods to Colchester, which is a regular practice among the churches? Also, if the friends can furnish me with money for the first quarter, I pay back £5 each quarter till the amount is returned. Let rile know by Lord's Day next ; it so, I shall be among you, if the Lord will, the first Lord's Day in February. I hope the union formed will be a lasting one as long as life lasts. I do need the prayers of the Lord's people of Colchester; be assured they have got mine for every covenant blessing to rest upon them.—Yours truly to serve in the gospel of Christ, C. E. MERRITT." Ihe "union," however, was, after all, cut short by the " failing of supplies of temporals," which the "weak brother" seems to have foremen. not hold our;eir6s. responsible for the opinions of -^ndents.] MISCELLANEOUS. Press. T HE GREN ADIER GVARDS.—The present year being the 200th anniversary of the formation of the let (or Grenadier) Regiment of Guards, raised by Charles 11., after the restoration in 1660, as his own Royal Regiment of Guards, it is intended to commemorate the event by a grand entertainment. At a meeting of the officers, held a few days ago, comprising Colonel the Hon. James Lindsay, Colonel Hamilton, C. 8., Colonel J. Lambert, Colonel Lambert, Lieutenant -Colonel Wynyard, Lieu tenant-Colonel Bradford, Bradford, Colonel Conway, C. 13., Lieu tenant-Colonel Ponsenby, trc. ;it was arranged to celebrate the event by a dinner of the officers nu* con nected with the distinguished corps, and all those who have at any time served in the regiment. His Reya H i g h nes s the Prince Consort, who has been colonel of the regiment since the death of the Duke of Wellington, was solicited, and has consented to preside on the occa sion. It is propose atd th His Royal Highness the Du the ke of Cambridge, as general -commanding-in-chief, Secretary of State for War, the superior officers, and gentlemen connected with the military administration of the country ; also, that the colonels and lieutenant colonels of the Household Cavalry, of the Coldstream, an d Scots endive Fusilier Guards shll be invited. A dinner is a lso to b g n to the non-acommissioned officers and soldiers of the regiment. The officers' banquet is to take place on Saturday, the 16th proximo. Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to place at the disposal of the committee of officers formed to carry out the pro ceedings the Banqueting-hall of St. James's Palac e. SUICIDE or A SOLDIER.—A letter from Fermoy, dated says Never has it been my lot to witness a Sunday, sight so revolting as that presented to my view this day. I went to the general hospital here to see the soldier i body n her of a so ldie r named Charles:Chapman, a private Majesty's 68 t h Regiment, who committed self-destruc tion. Yesterday, a party of soldiers, amongst whom was the deceased, went out to the rifle practice ground, on Cairn -hill, for the purpose of perfecting themselves in the use of the. Enfield rifle. It is the custom of the troops-in wet or very hot weather ose to fire from under cov er of sheds ere cted for that purp by the Govern ment. The party above referred to had loaded, and were about beginning to fire, when the deceased, under some pretence, got leave to fall out, and rifle in hand, went to the rear of the shed. He there took off his right boot, rested . his chin on the muzzle of his rifle, and with his great toe (the stocking nd over which was the twinkling torn or cut for of t an he purpose) pressed the trigger, ain eye the unhappy man was a corpse. The ball broke the lower jaw bone, tore away the tongue, the front portion of the upper jaw, and the cartilage of the nose, and with the force of the powder burst the skall open in in a most fearful manner, tearing away a great portion of it and the scalp, and scattering them with the brains and tongue a considerable distance from where he was found lying. The unfortunate man had in his forage cap a heavy, well-whetted razor, with which, it is sup posed, to cut his throat in case the bullet did not prove fatal." POWERFUL PREACHERS.—Not that I have any curiosity to hear powerful preachers. Time was when I was dragg ed by the hair of my head, as one may say, to hear too many. On summer evenings, when every flower, and tree, and bird, might have better addressed my soft young heart, I have in my day been caught in the palm of a female hand by the crown, have been violently scrubbed from the neck to the roots of the hair as a purification for the Temple, and have then been carried off highly charged with saponaceous electricity, to be steamed like a potato in the unventilated breath of the powerful Boanerges Boiler and his congregation, until what small mind I had was quite steamed out of me. In which pitiable plight I have been hauled out of the place of meeting, at the conclusion of the exercises, and catechised respecting Boanerges Boiler, his fifthly, his sixthly, and his seveuthly, until I have regarded that reverend person in the light of a :most dismal and oppressive charade.

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—At the monthly meeting of this society it was stated, among other things, that on Easter Monday 17,727 persons - visited the gardens, being the greatest number of visitors on any , Easter Monday since their opening in 1828. The total number of visitors during the year had amounted to 74.604, exceeding the same period of last year - by nearly 16,000. Several interesting additions to the menagerie by presentation and purchase were also announced. At a period when the Shaksperian drama was in vogne among the play-going classes, it became necessary to withdraw "King Lear" from the stage. The unhappy condition to which the then Sovereign of this country was reduced, wade it objectionable to present upon the boards a British king in a state of mental aberration. The play was set aside. Upon one occasion, when the Prince Regent was likely to iisit Covent-garden, there was a discussion in the manager's roam as to the per formance the Princo would like. Hook was present. "He leaves it to yourself," said Theodore. " How do you mean ?" " Why, the Court has given you a ((mg , : de Lear."—Once a Week. ANOTHER CHILD BURNT TO DEATH. —The other evening, between the hours of six and seven o'clock, a ; distressing accident occurred at the residence of Mr. Barrow, 1, Prince's-place, Commercial-road, Lambeth, which unhappily ended hi the death of his child, a little girl, aged one year and four months. It appears that Mrs. Barrow went out for a few minutes, and left the child lying on the bed. When she returned she found the child (who had been pliyinz with a box of lucifers) enveloped in a mass of flame. The child's clothes were soon extinguished, but not before the accident had proved fatal, and the poor little sufferer expired shortly after. A coroner's inquest will be held. A letter from Rome in the Monde says : " The general subject of conversation here is the extraordinary honour accorded by the holy father to Mme. de Lamoriciere. After granting her a long audience, the Pope deigned to act as her guide in a visit to the galleries and libraries of the Vatican ; and the Marquise de Vignacourt, cousin of Mme. do Lamorici.e.re. shared the same favour. The Pope, having one lady on his right, and the other on bis left, explained to them the different objects in the gal leries, and on reaching the library he caused them to sit down, remarking to Mine. do Lamoriciere, Yon are now, madam, sated on a chair which I lately offered to a queen!'" The Wine Licenses Bill has been the subject of a public meeting in Manchester. The meeting was con vened by the Mayor, in compliance with a numerously signed requisition, and the large room of the Town'-hall was partially filled with the requisitionists and those interested in the question. A resolution was proposed, strongly condemnatory of the provisions of the bill, in consequence, as it was expressed, of their affording increased temptations to intemperance, and as a conse quence tending to the increase of "immorality, pau perism, and crime." An amendment was proposed, supporting the bill as a free-trade measure, calculated to promote sobriety, arid to improve the social condition of the people of this country. The resolution was carried by a very large majority. CITY Cue/sm.—There are few more striking indica tions of change of manners and customs that two or three hundred years have brought about, than these deserted churches. Many of them are handsome and costly structures, several of them were designed by Wren, many of them arose from the ashes of the great fire, others of them outlived the plague and the fire too, to die a slow death in these later days. No one can be sure of the coming time ; but it is not tee much to say of it that it has no sign in its outsetting tides of the reflux to these churches of their congregations and uses. They remain, like the tombs of the old citizens who lie beneath them, and around them, monuments of another age. They are worth a Sunday-exploration now and then, for they yet echo, not unharmoniously, to the time when the city of London really was London ; when the 'Prentices and Trained Bands were of mark in the State ; when even the Lord Mayor himself was a reality —not a fiction conventionally be-puffed on one day in the year by illustrious friends, who no less coventionally laugh at him on the remaining three hundred and sixty-four days.—Diekens's All the Yerr .Rwead. CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY. —The annual meet ing of this society was held in St. James's Hall, Picca dilly; the Bight Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair. The Secretary read the report, from which it appeared that during the past year forty-three grants made by the society had lapsed or become vacant, and fifty-five new grants had been made. The number in each lass at the present was 400 clergymen and 167 lay assistants, making a total of 557. Additional pastoral supervision was now provided for upwards of three millions and a quarter of the population. The total income of the year was L 41,475 18s. 9d., being £2,380 16s. 6d. less than the preceding year. The expenditure was £41,036 12s. sd. The chairman, after suggesting that the report should be published as a blue book, and that the members of both houses should be compelled to read it, expressed his surprise that there should be a diminution in the society's receipts. He had the greatest respect for nonconformists, yet the Church of England should take the lead in religions enterprises. The church had money enough to do what was required, and he hoped they would all join in the prayer that there might soon might be a fold for every sheep and a shep herd for every fold. The Bishop of Ripon said Resistance. was very much needed at present. Other gentlemen spoke, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. CRINOLINE AND HOOPED PETTICOATS. —The far thingale of the time of Elizabeth answers to the hooped petticoat of the days of Queen Anne and to the crinoline of Queen Victoria. Against the farthingale, the great master, Philip Stubbes, inveighed with thundering eloquence. "When they have all their goodly robes upon them," says he, "women seem to be the smallest part of themselves, not natural women, but artificial women ; not women of flesh and blood, but rather puppets, or marmots, consisting of rags and clouts compact together :" The Queen herself condemned the fashion, and passed laws to put down such extravagance. The wits assailed it, and what was the result ? the farthingale expanded, and under James I. became as remarkable for ugliness as for •discomfort. Hooped petticoats came into fashion again in the time of Quee n Anne ; and Addison's keen satire was directed against them. In the Spectator, No. 272, appears an adverti s e_ ment, dated from the parish vestry, Jan. 9, 1711-12 " AlI ladies who crime. to church in the new- fashioned hoops, are desired to be there before. Divine service begins, lest they divert the attention of the congrega tion." Gay to ok u p the sub j ect, . aud handled it very roughly ; more polite wits averred that these hoops only kept the men at a proper distance; the caricaturists represented a fashionably-attired lady as a donkey carrying two panuiers; and. Hogarth pictured the incon venience of a full-dressed belle entering a sedan-chair. What the wits and caricaturists did in Queen Bess's time and Queen Anne's, has been done over aging in Q ue en Victoria's,-17:4 Ladies' t'r'easury. FRANCE AND GERMANY. The Times appears inclined to credit the rumour of a treaty having been concluded between France and Den mark, coupling this report with the official announce ment that Prussia intends to interfere once more in the affairs of the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein. The Times strongly deprecates such a course. The very • that France must most wish that Prussia L":l4l„4,:iertake at the present time is an attack of her n6y6erit . fidg). l•bour, which would be sure to amalgamate in one .t.:Milact Sweden, Norw a y, an d D enm ark, at the disposal of France.

A meeting of French women was held at the West end at midnight on Thursday, convened by the commit tee of the midnight meeting movement for the reclama tion of fallen women. In the produce markets during last week a steady business has been transacted, although the demand.for many of the leading articles was inactive, and present rates do not. appear sufficiently low to induce speculative inquiry. Pullinger, on Friday, requested the Mansion Rouse reporter to state publicly that he had done his utmost to atone for his crime, by assigning everything he had in the world to the Union Bank, leaving his wife with out a bed of her own to lie upon, and without any other clothes than those in which she was dressed at the time. DRA.TR BY Flat. —A w,)inan named Catherine Richardson, residing at lci, Webber-row, Blackfriara road., last week met with her death under the following circumstances :—At about eleven o'clock in the morn ing the neighbours were alarmed by screams proceeding from the house. They immediately ran to give assist ance, and found the p oor woman completely enveloped in flames. They succeeded, however, with blankets and other available means, in extinguishing the flames, but not before the woman was fearfully burnt. 11r. S. W. Smith, surgeon, 111, Blaekfriars-road, was immediately on the spot, and rendered all the assistance in his power, but without avail. An inquest was shortly after held, when from the evidence it appeared that the clothes of the deceased caught fire while she was sitting asleep A yerdict of "Accidental death" visa returned.
