possibility of a war with England is discussed, Oh, Louis NAPOLEON will never . go to war With us—it is not his interest to do so.' Such reasoners do not attach nearly enough importance to the chimerical element in his character. A man who has so strong a belief in 'destiny, and is so suPer stitious, is not to be depended, upon for a moment. We cannot persuade ourselves that he has a deep and settled purpose of attacking this country, though for that opini on we cou ld quote t h e very highest authority. Be sure,' said to us the man whom we . should be disposed to' call the first of living French 'prose writers, be sure, that sooner or later he means to try to avenge Waterloo :' and another person hardly less remarkable, deeply hostile to the Imperial Govern ment,. and very friendly to this country, remarked, speaking of the chance of aninvasion, It would be a great risk, but if I were he, I would make the attempt.'And what would there be to deter him from such an attempt, if only he had the French army with him, and the French people at his baCk? The avenging of Waterloo is well known to be one of those " ideas " which he has declared himself prepared to carry out at. any sacrifice — should the hope of effecting it once appear to present itself. And, as the writer we' have just quoted only too truly adds,—" what strikes us as 80 very alarming is, that he brings to the execu tion of liii•plans a total indifference to means. A more profoundly unscrupulous man does not exist. It is wonderful how much can be done, even in Private life, by one who, possessed of sufficient discretion to avoid the snares of the law and the pit falls of 'public opinion, gets rid, at the com mencement of his career, of that expensive luxury e 6 racience; Place such a man in high place in r evolutionary times, and he will play on the wand's great theatre"the same part which is so " ft " enacted successfully on a humbler stage." 'We have, then, just 'such a man now in a high P la ce in Europe—and in revolutionary times too; and , whatever part he may be designing to play the world's great theatre," it were assuredly ear truest wisdom' to avoid, by every means, be ing entangled with him in it. There need be no occasion for quarrelling ; but, with such e *a•Cter, we are certainly most likely tObe the best friends at a distance. SUDHEN DEATH OF BARON WATSON, YESTERDAY, WHILE ADDRESSING A GRAND JURY. We regret to have to announce the sudden death of the Honourable Sir W. H. Watson, one of the Barons °f the Court of exchequer, while 'delivering his charge to the Grand Jury, at Welshpool, yesterday. Thus, while performing one of the highest functions of an earthly Judge, he was momentarily summoned to appear before the Great jud ge o f a ll . It .is .a very remarkable coincidence that this solemn event should have occurred on the same da te, and under very nearly the same circumstances, as the death of Serjeant Talfourd, at Stafford, some time ago. It Will be in the knowledge of most of our readers, that th e learned Judge whose demise we now record, in the early, part of his life, served in the army, and fought at Xaterloo. For his military services the deceased' zaron was entitled to a pension, .which he continued .!° enjoy to th e d a y o f hi s d ea th.

For some time he sat in Parlia ment as the member for Hull ; and he received his Promotion from the Whig party, with whom he acted, although, it is barely justice to his memory to add, his Political views were certainly too moderate and constitu tieaal for the " advanced Liberals" of the present day. 13 nuintiinAn RAILWAY (Nos. 1 and 2) Brr.r.s.—The Select Committee of the House of Commons, yesterday, found the preambles of these hills not proved.

Forty-one French paper-makers 'have addressed a petition to the Emperor, praying him not to remove the prohibition against the exportation of rags from France. They assert that the result of the removal will' be to raise the price of paper in France, and to put an imme diate end to all exportation. Petitioners at Paris are greatly puzzled to ascertain whether there really exists an understanding between the Imperial Government and Count Cavour, and whether the language used by the French Government to Sardinia is not simulated.

Referring to the incessant introduction of the Savoy question in the House of Commons, the Times remarks that it seems to be the object of the Opposition to pro voke a war, and that the Ministry shall be saddled with the responsibility of it. Let the war party bring the question to a division, (which would show what the opinion of the country really is,) to enable all foreign powers to put a true estimate upon the intemperate speeches that have been made.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in reply to Mr. Newdegate, stated that by article five of the commercial treaty, goods Of other countries, besides those of France and Algeria, he adniltt,e4 to this country, I t qrd d. EussE4, laying papers on the tahle, took the copper tquity to nialse his promised statement on the subject of Savoy. Lordltalmesbary, he said, had been inforined of the proposed anneiatien and bad failed in obtaining any satisfactory assurance that France entertained no designs upon that, territory. It was true that he was , informed that there was no treaty; but it did not follow that there was no understanding between France and Sardinia. Objections had been made to his own poliCi l that, by favouring the annexation of Tuscany to Sardinia, he had prepared the way forthe annexation of Savoy to France. He had no such policy. His simple policy fi as tO'PerinitltalyTto work out her own independence. yn corrohoration of this declaration;' alleged that'an interview which he had had with the Tuscan aient, when he endeavoured to persuade him that the son of the Grand Duke might be admitted to the Government of Tuscany. The agent replied that the ducal family had so entirely identified' himself with the Austrians, that his return was impossible. When, therefore; he foiind that the Italians were so determined on their own opinion, he had. no alternative but t.z), 4bstain froM th~artgug their wishes. f;or 11P (elf, 9 io Sar dinia, with 'Lombardy alone gposed to the fe g t r i sse 4 of the Mincio, woad be in 'an unsafe and precarions condition. They were of opinion that nothing short of the addition of Tuscany, Romagna, and the duchies of Parma and Placentia, would have sufficed to have formed a government sufficiently strong for the purpose of maintaining order in Italy. Still they had never been hostile to the restoration of the Grand flake. They had persisted in their policy of pernaitting the Italians to work out their qwn independence. They, thought that the people elmild have the opportMitY of expressing their opinion by vote. He had been accused of negligence as to the Savoy annexation, Now be 144 long been acquainted, by letters, with the intention of ,the French,Emperor to ask Savoy, in the event of Sar dinia acquiring the States of Central Italy. On the isubject, in July last year, Count Walewski had declared 1 that the contingency of the annexation of Tuscany to Sardinia was possible, though at another time he seemed to admit its probability, as the annexation of Savoy to France depended upon that of Tuscany to Sardinia. It was not only useless, it was absurd, for them to have entered into, protests upon a chance so remote. When the matter was again brought forward at the late period, they again stated their decided objections to the annexation of Savoy. They never concealed their opini,ms frOm the Emperor of the French. As for the other Powers, they had not been consulted by France ; and her Majesty's Ministers would have gone out of their way to warn those Powers. It was a matter which lay between them and France. The Ministers had been further accused of having neglected the true interests of Europe in favour of chimerical views of their own regarding the indepen dence of Italy. At the Paris Conference of 1859, though Italy was not properly their subject, yet Lord Cowley thought it his duty to point out the evils of the actual condition of the Peninsula—the presence of foreign troops, and the misgovernment of Naples Austria would not listen to the proposals for altering her I conduct, and the late war was the result. After the Treaty of Zurich the Ministry felt that it was an European, and therefore an English, object to establish the position of Italy on a broad and sound basis. They felt it of so much importance to raise a people so long trampled down, and to secure the independence of a , people so long oppressed, that he felt that they had done no more than their duty in the course they bad taken. . _ Mr. WHITESIDE admitted the soundness and excellence of the despatches of Lord J. Russell, but complained of the weakness and negligence with which he followed them up. The -statements of Count Cavour and the French Emperor—the one denying. the other admitting that there was an understanding as to the annexation, under certain contingencies—were directly at variance ; and he was bound to say that he believed the Emperor. Those Contingencies were the annexation of Tuscany to Sardinia; and her Majesty's Government, by furthering that annexation, had furthered the annexation of Savoy to France by a necessary consequence, This was the argument of the Emperor himself, and it made the British Government responsible for the confusion which has followed.' He reprobated the policy of Lord J. Russell, which gave to all nations the right whenever they chose to adopt ane wform of government by universal suffrage — how could they under such a policy expect the reduction of their war expenditure, or - 114 e, fur the tranquillity of Europe ? He could understand the conduct of the French Emperor, who had larger views in giving free trade to England in return for Savoy and Nice. He did not think the conduct of our .Foreign Minister . was judicious, and he therefore justified the inquiries which had been made fOr definite information. Mr. M. MILNES defended the policy of her Majesty's Government. lie defended Count Cavour from the im putation of Mr. IyhtteSide 7 his assertions would easily he reconciled with those of the Emperor. The annexa tion of Savoy to France was one of those old national traditions which no other nation would understand. The annexation was not new to French history ; it was proposed by limy the Fourth to Queen Elizabeth, and acceded to by the British sovereign. It was a sub ject which excited the interest of every French citizen, and it was riot to be wondered at if Prance took the opportunity and stbmitted the; question to the diplomatic consideration of Europe. , Mr. B. COCHRANE protested against the doctrines that a nation might at any time change its rulers. There was no knowing where the principle of a geographical boundary, Once adopted, would stop. Mr., HORSMAN admitted the difficulties of the position of lord John Russell, and would Mid in any way increasing those difficulties ; but there was, he believed, an 'alternative besides that of open war--:- . -a silent acquiescence. There was not a man in the house who would advocate the former alternative ; but the present frontiers .of France had been fixed in 1815 on the principles of European tranquillity, and Sardinia had no right to grant 13PlIsion which interfered with the arrangements then made. The great inestion of frontier involves considerations much larger than the possession of a small territory. Lord John Russell had pointed out the danger of further annexation. Our remaining alternative was to form alliances with those powers who had an equal interest' in checking the advance of ;France. This was the.tra- ditionary policy of former times. What we ought to hive done was to have formed a direct alliance 'with Prussia, for the purpose of preventing future danger. While we ought to have been doing this we were bag ging a commercial treaty. While we would not go to war, a silent acquiesence would be cowardly and undig nified, and we ought to have told the Emperor of the Fren,ch that if be persisted in his design, the conse quence would be a European Confederation against him. Lord HARRY VANE said that it was important, with a view to the consequence that the House of Commons should express its opinion. He regretted that so much of the correspondence had been carried on in private letters. He trusted that every important ministerial conversation on the subject of the annexation would be reported to the lionse, _ _ After .a few words from Mr. D. Gyiffiths and Mr. Kinnaird, Lord PALMERSTON defended the silence of the Govern !! meat so long as there was any prospect of a Congress ; but wheti the idea was given I,lp, the Government had no alternative , but to repeat her remonstrances. It was admitted on all hands that they aught not to go to war to prevent the annexation; nor could he coincide in the opinion that European combination ought to have been formed. This would only have irritated France, and caused her to make it a point of honour not to surrender Savoy. On this subject he agreed in every respect with the despatches of Lord ,T. Itussell, deeply regretting that the Emperor had not been contented with his first success. As for national boundaries, history told them that they were no defence at all. If other Powers joined with Piedmont against France, they would not attack - her through the Savoy passes ; but he did not believe in the possibility of any such combination. The danger of the annexation was not a direct one to England : it arose from the principle and the precedent. If the principle of identity of language were adopted, there was no knowing where it wool} step, 4s to the independence of Switzerland, they would net make terms on that point while the annexation was still undecided. They were not yet come to this point. - In reference to the annexation of the States of Central Italy to Sardinia, it should be remembered that the sovereigns of the several states had run away, and •the people were determined that they shOuld apt come back. The principles, therefore, which applied tg those 'states did not apply to Savoy. He con tended that all along the Government • had pursued the proper course in urging on France the earnest and friendly remonstrance of this country against the annexation of Savoy, He was persnaded that the OW Powers would bold the same firm and dispassiouate opiiiion, and he c 4414 nut divest himself of the impression that the government of France would see that it would gain more by preserving . the pod opinion'of Europe, and disarming its suspictons, than by acquiring a comparatively unimportant territory. As to the Italian question, he trusted that the creation of a great northern power in Italy would place her in the position of greatness and civilisation she had already twice occupied during the Roman Empire and the period of the revival of literature. He bore testimony to the temper and statesmanlike qualities, during the past year, of the Italians in general, and defended the conduct of Ct h it Cavour in particular. DISRA.Ep said that he 1,4 neither advoCated War qr finltirqpean confederagy against pie annexation of Savoy. He had reCoMmended a protest, Mit the same course had been Firsiled by Lord obn #tissell himself in the case of Cracow. The noble lord, in his explana tions of to-night, seemed to hate fnrgoften Savq3'. altogether-he gaye no information. Ile did not deny that be had ample and complete notice of the .plans of the French government ; and an indif ference on the subject, and the careless manner in which he treated the ' information, argued a great want of judgment and perception. His silence to that House and' to foreign powers was equally to be blamed. He strongly reprobated the practice of diplomatic correspondence in private letters, affording an excuse for the withholding of information. At the beginning of the present year when Switzerland was urgerit'in her anxiety, he did not 4nd that anything was done to remonstrate with the French Emperor, v%-hile' at the sante tiine, the GidTeriuneht was pOsuing q ell to bring about. the annexation of savoy to France. Ile course • in: /ta Y best Ole lat ' the very denied that the Gevei-nnient ha any right to coin -Plain of these discussions as irritating to foreign powers. The house, without expressing approval or blame, had a right to demand information, and, when that infor mation was supplied, had the further right to demand explanations. The policy of France throughout had been frank, open, and straightforward. She had given timely notice of her intentions, and we had nothing to complain of in her proceedings. She had renounced the policy of annexation, except in the 'Case of the ultra-aggrandisement of Sardinia by the :addition of Tuscany and the uchies. This m i g ht b e -the test' tnlicY for It 'D ,1% 1 ! 1 §4 l lal, rte tbe annexation of Savoy as th e p r i ce of ostahlisnment of a great power in Italy ; but we had no right to turn round and accuse France, France could vn ot be irritated by these discussions, though they might injure some one else. The policy of France involved the great principle of the natural boundaries of empire, and required to be watched' with the ° 0-reatest consideration. We had no reason to c o mplain of France, but her policy was none the less fraught with danger; and the Government which had assisted that policy was responsible to history and the ii.INgLAIs.:E said that it was gratifying to believe that the annexation would not take place without the consent of the Great Powers, as he inferred from the msiniterial statement. But why was this not brought at once to an issue ? He denied that those who brought forward the question were in favour of war; and asked why the Government trusted rather to the Empero r o f the French than to th e H o use of Commons. The official correspondence had nothing in rea lit y a b out it, for it was evident that t he Emperor of the French paid •no ttention 'Whateyei p the remonstrances.' - ' Mr. S.FTTZGERALD said that it was now evident that Fraiice inteided te tiroceed to the annexation--withcriit pensultiug eit4,r the Great Powers or the people Of Savoy, After some remarks from Mr. B.

THE PROPOSED NEW INDUSTRIAL RAGGED SCHOOL, AND FREE SCHOOL-ROOM CHURCH FOR KIRKDALE.— The fourth meeting of the working men' 'engaged in raising £lOO towards the building of this school was held on Monday evening, the 12th instant, in St. Mary's school-room, when no less - Allan .£24 was paid in, being the result of four hundred small contributions, making in all sixteen hundred subscriptions, amountin g t o £80. 3 Surely this speaks volumes for the self-denying interest which the working classes have voluntarily taken inlthis important movement. It is earnestly hoped that all other classes will Unite in encouraging this good feeling, and make the proposed work a decided success. RAISING OF THE. W HECK OF THE R OYAL C HARTER. —Operations are about to be commenced for the pur pose of raising the wreck of the ill-fated Royal Charter steamer. --- A - steam-tug 'and several - flats have been moored near the spot, and a large number of casks and spars have been brought from .Liverpool to assist in weighing up the remains of the unfortunate vessel. A labouring man picked up a bar of gold of the value of . 2400.0 n the rocks. . He at once placed! it in •charge . of the Customs authorities, and the poor fellow will be entitled to some 15 or 20 per cent in the shape of salvage. -The work of raising the wreck will occupy some time, as it is thought that not more than 40 or 50 tons will be brought up in a day. ST. PETER'S PARISH CHURCH.—.The third of the annual series of lectures was delivered last evening by the Rev. J. W. Twist, of Christ Church, the subject being,--." The Communion of the Saints," There was a good attendance. The preacher spoke first of God's design in old and new dispensations respecting com munion of saints; ,secondly, of the proper meaning of the term "saints,"—of their principles and 'character ; and, thirdly, of that in whiehtheir communion consists, namely, communion with God, communion with each other, communion with mankind 'at large, and commu nion with the spiritual world, - lie preached for forty five minutes. The next.leoture Mr. Denny said would be delivered by the Rev. G. W. Warr,,of St.,Sayiour's, on " FOig,iVeness,of Sins" . ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH, WIGAN.—The incumbency of this, parish having become vacant by the resignation of the Rev. B. Powell, the rector of Wigan, in whose hands the appointment rests, has offered the living to the Rev. A. Smith, curate of the parish church. To the bulk of the congregation this is extremely distaste ful, as they have home attached to their present curate, the. Rev. J. Clarke. Accordingly, understanding that the offer had not yet been accepted by Mr. Smith, the congregation met in the schoolroom on Monday morn ing, when a memorial, to the .Rector, requesting Mr. Ciarke's appointnient as incumbent, was unanimously adopted ; and the meeting at once formed itself into a deputation to .. present the same. The Rector said that all he could say, is reply to the representations of the deputa tion, was that he lic f d offere4 the living t 9 a gentleman he thought competent to perform its duties, but that he had not received his answer. It was then asked whether, in case Mr. Smith did not accept the office, he would appoint Mr. Clarke'; but the Reefer said he could not make any promise. The deputation then returned 'to the sehoojrnorn, when, as there seemed no probability of Mr. Clarke's appointment, it was proposed to build a new church for him ; those'present forming themselves int, a committee to carry out the object, INQUESTS, HELD YESTERDAY.---(Before P. F. Curry, Esq.)—an the - body of Charlotte, 43 years Of age, wife of William Dyke, corkcutter, 4 Court, Circus-street, who was found strangled, on Monday night, under most peculiar circumstances. For years the deceased had been addicted to drink ; so much so that the husband was in ttos habit of taking away her clqthing, c l icipr to prevent her from going out, 'On Monday he returned home from work about.flve o'clock, found his wife intoxi cated, and remonstrated with her on her conduct, when she said, "This night will finish it." At seven, the husband fastened the, shutters and the window ; and having locked his wife in the house, proceeded to a friend's - house at School-lane.

THE BAZAAR AT THE QUEEN'S will have been observed from our advertising columns, an active movement has. been set on foot to raise funds for the pqrpose of defraying the expenses incurred in the extensive alter4tlons 444 11.0ivenients whichhaYe recently taken place at Trinity Church,. M. Anne street. The movement has assumed the 'very appropriate shape of a bazaar of fancy and useful articles, which was opened at the Queen's hall, Bold-street, yesterday, both morning end evening. A numerous and fashionable attendance testified at once to the popularity of the worthy inciimhent, the Rey. Mr. Pizey, and , the general excellence of the undfirtakia4. Independently qt the good' cause which it was designed to Csrward, the bazaar itself, in the beauty.of the decorations and . the, pleasing variety of the articles exhibited, is a spectacle sue ciently gay and attractive to ensure a full'ineasuie of public support. The decorations of. the ball have been completed . under the able sUperintendence of Mr. 13.4iilf.prd, of Compton-house. The walls are festooned, d la Alhambra, with pink and white wreqtb4 of flowers and blue-ribbons, the stalls being ranged in a circle, and each stall being arched and fe4ooned , with blue and red trellis work ; while silk flags of all nations, arranged with nice artistic taste, make up a pleasing and beautiful ensemble. Each of the stalls was exquisitely laid out,, and embraced articles of singular beauty and value; it was estimated that Mrs. Pizey's stall alone would repre sent a value of 440 Q ; but where all were expellent, it would be invidious to particolarise. The' ladies of the congregation, ail those whose nanas figure in all good works, have been unusually munifi cent ; and Messrs. Elkington, Dismore, and Tooke, silversmiths, have also displayed great liberality in some pretty coatribations. Messrs, I)reaper and son, 4o1d: street, haying sopplied gFatnitously one of their _patent (three-unison) oblique grand pianofortes, M r . F. W. West enlivened the proceedings by performing during the course of the day his " Canadian Fantaia," his Impromptu de Concert, sur la Melodic, " Home. Sweet Home," (dedicated to Mademoiselle Arabella Goddard,) also a "Waltz," by Beethoven, published for this occa skin, and other compositions. The band from the Akbar Reformatory Frigate was also stationed in the gallery, : and played various popular and lively airs, Altogether, the baaar yesterday may he pronounced q (leaded snc cess ; and if it be as extensively supported to-day and to morrqw, when it will be thrown open, at a recluQed price for admission, a considerable amount of money will he realised. The sum required to pay the expenses incurred at , Trinity Church is set down at £1,700. Under the care of the Rev. Mr. Pizey, the church, which formerly - presented - a discouraging array of empty pews,.lS 110 W tilled el HI Sutylav 'by n large ipongrega tion ; and as this is the result of only eighteen months of the incumbent's efforts, we have a happy augury of further success.

A lively §Qpg Oyer a silirt, 41 the >pilsle of the pretty little machine that stitches it, may now be sub stituted for that distressing lamentation. Everywhere, say the manufacturers, has this magical instrument produced the same beneficial results ; everywhere has it benefited alike the capitalist, the female stitcher by the machine, and last, and most singular as it may seem, those employed in merely finishing the work sewn by the machine. Entirely new trades' have sprung into being; and mail) , fabrics that were formerly shipped in the piece now go out in the made:up articles of 'dress. It is scarcely necessary • to sc6' one weld es to the Charaetee of these'maChines. Already they have justly acquired a name and' a reputation which plaCe them beyond question. Itor beauty of workmanship, thorough finish of•all the partS, Otfiligempt, and durability, they are unsurpassed,' and all that C.otild be desired. All the 'nullities use two threads, both being taken direct foul the spools withont re-windiug, The stitch made is.the " doulde'chain or interlocked stitahi", the strongest and most elastic stitch that can be pro: duced by a sewing machine, and much stronger than any that can be produced by hand work. These machines are of various patterns, according to the class of work for which they are intended, and at various prices, according to the style of finish; but the cheapest (£7 75.) forms an excellent family machine, which is guaranteed by the manufacturers to do any c l inount of work, to the g ttisfaction of the purchaser. T.hOse machines are produced in-such'a style as' to torm superb aitielei of furni , lo, suited_ for the est drawing-room,' while the machine itself converts the toil of sewing into a new aria fascinating amusement, a harmless yet certain pa s nacea for ennui. We reccitUmehd all to see this hetiutifol elhihitiOn. • Everyone will at once be struck with the ease and celerity with which the work is executed ; and the proeess is so simple that anyone may learn to use them in a single lesson. CONGREGATIONAL SOIREE. AT HAMILTON-SQUARE INDEPENDENT CHAPEL, , BIRKENHEAD.----Last even ing, the congregation and friends attached to this chapel held their annual soiree, in the school beneath the chapel; Mr. D.

(Before Mr. RAFFLES.) PICKING POCKETS.—A young gentleman, named John Farrell, -who -had on several Occasions occupied apart , ments at Walton and Kirkdale, was brought up on a charge of having made free with Mr. David Drew's ;pocket, intending to take possession of a handkerchief contained therein. On Friday . night, Mr. Drew when 'passing down Lord-street, felt a " tug" at his pocket, and ,turning round saw the prisoner running away. Having previously lost a pocket handkerchief in the same place a short time ago, he determined to pursue . the'prisoner and did so until the prisoner was stopped by a police-officer. The ease was sent for trial. . ASSAULT ON' A WIFE. —John Goss, a resident of Plumb-street,- -- was charged with having YSiiiiilted his wife. On the day upon. which the assaalt was coin ruitted, the prisoner 'had been at Aintree races, and whether he 'had - been engaged in some unfortunate transactions or had indulged a little with his friends, he was not in the most amiable humour when he retu r n e d lhome, His wife, seeing this, and mindful of past pro- Ceedines removed the poker. Disappointed of his favourite• weapon, the prisoner seized a chimney orna ment, flung it at his wife and inflicted a severe wound between her eyes. In palliation of his offence the pri soner ,said, that his wife was inclined to the bottle and neglected his household. He was ordered to enter into his , own recognisance, to keep the peace towards his wife for twelve months. THE VOCAL UNION. This society gave a performance of Mendelssohn's " Elijah" last night, in St. George's-hall, the principal singers being Mrs. Weiss, Miss Hiles, Mr. Mason, and Mr, Weiss. We do not think the selection of this oratorio yery j ndicieus, partly because the accompaniments cannot be rendered with anything like their proper effect except by a band, andalso because Mendelssohn's choruses depend for their effect not so much on the movements of the different parts as upon the disposition of large masses of sound, partictilarly in the piano passages, and are therefore better suited to a chorus of 300 voices than to one of 60. Considering the small means for prforming, it, - however, the oratorio was certainly very well done. The chorus sung well throughout, with the eiception of a slip at the beginning of "Lord bow thine ear,". which was commenced in - the wrong - key, but fortunately, by the help of the organ, the mistake was immediately rectified. Of Mr. and Mrs. Weiss too much cannot be said—they both sung in their hest style; and we cannot say whether Mrs. Weiss in " Hear ye, Israel," or her husband in " Is not his word a fire," pleased us most. The latter we have not heard in Liverpool for some time. Why, we cannot say, as he is certainly the first bass singer we have for oratorio music. Miss Hiles was guilty of her usual fault of want of animation ,in_ the recitative " Have ye -not heard ;" but made amends in " 0 rest in the Lord," which was encored. Mr,' Mason sung "If with all your- ilearti". and Then shall the righteous " with very good expression ; and if he,had not the misfortune to have a weak and (in the high notes) rather unpleasing voice, he would be a very good singer. Concerning Mr. Best, we may say that he accomplished the arrange' meat of the accompaniments on the organ (one of the most difAcylt tasks that an organist could have) as well as could possibly have been done. We should recommend the society, in some future performances, to try some of Haydn's Masses, or Bach's Mottetts,—things almost unknown here, and which will be admirably suited to their small, but very etAeierit chorus, X THE LATE CORK ELECTION. The following is Lord Campden's version of his case as a candidate at the late Cork election. It certainly places a very different construction upon his lordship's conduct, to that given by the statelllPAtiwbieh had been Preyiotisly tnade qn the subject. The letter is addressed to the Editor of the Times Sin„—Having read in the Times of this day a letter' from Mr. John Gecrge M'Carthy, giving a version of the proceedings at the late election for the county of Cork, which is not in all points correct. I request of you the favonr to insert this letter, ti- i t the puhlia may be enabled to Judge between the two statements. I had been asked by Mr. J. P. Hennessy to stand in opposition to the Attorney-General; bat on the Friday b lore the nomination I positively and finally declined, for various reasons, but chiefly; as I explained to him, on the ground , that I was not prepared to meet the expenses q' a centesti In answer to au nrgent uestion he then put tq me whether if put for ward and elected, notwithstanding my refusal, I would sit, I replied that if the electors chose of their own accord to elect tpe I would, Imt that I vfonld give Ho antlmrity fir any steps to be taken on my behalf. Sub sequent to this, application was made t 4 another person ' to stand, but with what result I was not informed, and I concluded that the matter was at an end, till I learnt accidentally on Sunday evening, to my great surprise, that I had been put forward. No further intelligence was.sent to me, till on Wednesday evening I eeceived copies of an address which had been issnei In my name. I immediately cli§aTqwe4 Oa authenticity of this address In a letier tq the chairman of the committee, self appointed to oppose the return of the Attorney- General ; but, having stated that I, would serve if elected, I did not feel called upon to do anything to interfere with the free action of the parties who had put me forward, it being perfectly competent to them to nontivate whqni they choose. In the night prieVlous tq the first day of polling I received a telegra phic t eoage from Mr. Hennessy (the first communica tion. I ever received from him after the interview qn Friday, in which I told him of my deteimAinatiqn not to stand), asking fc; the use of my name for autberising 'the appointment of inseetors, of booths and check clerks; and, under the lirpresson that this was merell a matter of form to enable the. eleetiqq to ppaeol, and feeling eemAdqc that alctel'• villas I bad said t i ct Mr, Hennessy he walla not ask me to do anything involving me in any responsibility, I returned the affirmative answer which Mr. M'Carthy quotes. I now learn that this authority was by no means requisite ; and I cannot help feeling that an unfair advantage Was tittn f i g ap-. plying for it. With regard to Ow tOegiaphie message to Mr. M'Carthy, I was, urged to send a message stating that I would go to Cork for the purpose of encouraging the voters on the day of polling ; this I refused to do, but it being urgently represented to me that some words of encouragement would be of mat seffiee, i sent the telegram in F estion, Ithich invoked no Kopf of agency yhatever. ad I been returned I should have felt it in ydn i q to, thank the electors personally, as 1 tk, eye proposed to do. I may add that I inyured to whom I * t o B ,44reils such a telegram, as , I kne7 no one at Cork, find then it was t hat Mr. SI Carthy s name and address were given to me. ' It is clear that my n ame has been used in an unwar rantable manner. I stated that I would serve if elected, for the sake of the cause, but I did not imagin9, thej th e electors would have used it in Ti. p : oiler way than the names c ethers have been similarly used when P i nt or ward and nominated without their authority; lior dial I for a moment suppose that it was being Used is any other sense. I gave no authority to Mr. Hennessy, nor to any one else, tq °A gs, my repre ; sentati,ve, bentlcl the telegraphic message given long after the actual commencement of proceedings under the impres sion I have stated above; I never knew of the telegram iwhich ' Mr. Hennessy sent to Mr. M`Carthy on the Saturday night, until the election was over, nor of his letter desiring Mr. M'Carthy to "consider himself as conducting agent" till I saw it mentioned in the Times to-day, and I have great reason to compl E d A vri „, the license with which my name was e, l 9loyed Mr. lienW l T waB,. acting, iftf kr ole, but k t or the parties opoi si ng the Attorney,Ttoneral; he and Mr. M'Carthy thought the 61eqtion secure, and that succe ss wou ld justify the means adopted to obtain it ; but I am not answ erable for the mistakes they have been led into.— I remain, sir, your obedient servant, C.I.74PDEN Portman Square, March 12. • 4.

THE BONDING SYSTEM IN CALIFORNIAN PORTS. The following com munication has been addressed to the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce by 'the Board of Trade:— " Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, .Whitehall, 9th March,"lB6o." " Sta,—l am directed by the Lo t & of the.Cornmittee of Privy Council for Trade to transmit to you, for the information of he Chamber of Commerce at Liverpool, the enclosed cog of a statement which has been received through the Secretary of State for the Colonies, froth the Governor otßritish Columbia, Oil the subject of the bonding sy4em.in Californian ports... "I am, sir, your obedierdservant, 4 .J. EMERSON TENNENT." " The Secretary to the Chamber of Commerce, Liverpool." • (CoPY) Statement showing the charges on goods. imported from England and other countries i n Europe _into the port of San Francisco, and the rate of adv ance on first cost at which inch goods are generally sold by the merchants of that place. The following are the ordinary charges on such im ports : Freight (depending on bulk), say.... 7i per cent. Insurance Customs duty (average). 25 „ Entry, wharfage, cartage, storage, &c 2l „ Profit if the goods are bought, or com mission if consigned 10 „ 'Making an advance. on first 471 per cent.' cost of goods of MENLORAI•iDUM. In the above calculation nu charge is made for inte rest, that is to say,—when the importer remits for his goods immediately on their arrival, or as it is not unfre quently the case, on the 'receipt of the hills of lading. .His. goods may possibly remain unsold for three, four, or six months, and it is usual in such cases to make an :additional charge of 2 per cent. per month. On English or other European goods stored in the ,bonded warehouses of San Francisco the charges would be the same as shown in the preceding statement, with the exception of the duty, which would make the rate of advance on first cost about 22,i per cent. In the case of bonded goods, however, the Custom house and other charges, not included in the preceding statement, will be found to average, at the lowest calcu lation, about 5 per cent.,—making the totalcharge 27i per 'cent. To these charges the mercha n t i n Victorta,•purchasing in San Francisco, must add freight. from San Franciseo to Victoria —per steamer $2O per ton, sailing vessels $lO pei ton, and insurance 2 per cent., which together may be estimated, at a low average on general and assorted goods, as an additional charge of 7 3 per bent. The advance an English and other European goods bought at San ,Francisco, with the duty paid, will thus be about 55 per cent, on first cost; and in the case of English or other European goods bought in bond about 35 per cent. floods imported direct from England can be landed at the port of Victoria at a cost not exceeding.ls per cent., as shown in the following table : Freight from England to Victoria 10 per °mt.' - Insurance 1) Cartage, wharfage, storage, &13 , 2 „ 1.5 per cent. Thus it is shown, that by importing goods direct from England, a saving will be effected, as compared with the oost of such goods purchased at San Francisco, with the duty paid, of 40 per cent., or, purchased in bond, of 20 per cent. Of the wines, liquors, &c., imported into Victoria from San Francisco, during the months of June, July, August, and September last, about one-third was import"d by three , or four large houses, who procured their goods from the bonded warehouses, and paid no duty ; the remaining two-thirds were bought in small quantities by numerous persons, dealers and others, and had been purchased by them in San Francisco, with all the customs duties and municipal charges added on, amounting, as before shown, to about 47,3 per cent. The same remarks as to the prepayment of duty will apply to cigars, which were also, in almost every instance, bought with the duty paid. I have also ascertained that English goods, such as clothing cottons, boots and shoes, iron, crockery, hard ware, &e., imported daring the same period, were, with very few exceptions, bought with the duty paid.

Earl Nel son occupied the chair. The Secretary read the report, which stated that the executive committee had drawn up rules and regulations for the institution, and they had received the sanction of the Archbishop of Canter bury and of the Bishops of London, Winoheater, Oxford, Exeter, Bangor, and St. Asaph, and the treasurer and secretary were corresponding with other prelates. The Chairman said, in consequence of the report that had appeared in the papers of their last meeting, much misunderstanding had existed with regard to their in tentions. It was thought that they wished to subvert convocation, but that was not their intention. It was also thought their object was to oppose the revision of the Liturgy, and that that institution had been got up ' for that purpose. it was a mistake, for it was not their intention to do anything upon which there should be any difference of opinion among themselves. Mr. Bing ley moved the adoption of the report. Mr. Bell seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. The rules were agreed to. The first and second rules are as follow :—" Rule 1. That the objects of the institution shall be to combine as far as possible Church- men of every shade of political and religious opinion in the inalutenanee and support of the Established Clinrch and AS - rights and priVileges in relation to the style, particularly as regards all questions affecting its welfare likely to become the object of legislative action ; and generally to encourage the eo-operation of clergy and laity in their several districts for the promotion of measures conducive to the welfare of the Church.

THEATRICALS IN SCOTLAND.—The Aberdeen Herald says :—" The visit here of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean, whose third performance was given on Friday evening, has been a complete success—complete alike in regard to the enthusiastic reception these eminent performers have received, and the marked appreciationintnefllitgheenitr efforts by the large, fashionable, and audiences who have nightly been drawn to Marischal street." THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The Zoological Society have just received an important addition to their mena gerie, in the shape of a tine living specimen of the Gigantic Salamander of Japan, - AR - largest kn o i vn species of amphibian. This singular creature, which -somewhat resembles a monstrous water newt, .inhabits the lakes of the basaltic. mountains .of Japan, where :it was discovered by the Dutch naturalist Dr. von Siebold, but even there is -considered a scarce animal. It is famous as being the nearest living analogue of the Fossil man or Homo ~dilur!i testis of Scheuchzer (Andrias Selrenchzeei of • geologists). The society's specimen is at present about three feet in length, 'and i s the first of the sort whichi has b een b rought alive to this country.—Tim". s: • Tir,p R.r.suu or A YOKE (?).—There is now in a female lunatic asylum at Hammersmith, a lady of exqui site beauty, who was driven mad by being suddenly startled by her maid. The lady's name is H----, and she resided with her husband, Mr. 11— a wealthy sharebroker, at a splendid mansion in Cavendish Square. One evening about six weeks ago, she strolled in the dusk into her husband's library, to procure a book. The lady's maid saw her enter the apartment, and in mere '. frolic concealed herself behind the curtains belonging. t o the window, until her mistress had placed Ile r b an d upon the work she came in search of; when -she sud denly sprang upon her with a loud shout: - The lady was so astounded by the shock, that she - Was struct almost senseless. Delirium ensued ; confirmed madness followed, which has ever since continued without abate ment, to a degree dangerous to all who come near her. Ifer propensities are tierce and vicious : she tries to bite at all who approach her, audit is more than probable she will never recover her reason.—Court- sgorting 3uttitigeurt. • • LATEST • MANCHESTER. • NORTILANIPTONSHIUE STAKVS :9to 1 agst Rattlebone, of d; 25 to 1 agst Man-at-Arms, taken.

[We do not hold ourselves reapotasibk for the opinions of our correspondents.] MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. Sur,—Last week ao less than forty-two petitions were sent from London to Norwich, to be distributed to as many parishes in that neighbourhood which have organised themselves to aid the " Marriage Law Asso ciation," in opposition to legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister. Petitions of a similar tendency are being sent to all parts of the country. Why do not Liverpool, and adjacent towns, &c., unite, and, by a combination of countless numbers of signatures send petitions to both Houses of Parliament, which, in con nection with the above, will for ever set at rest the impropriety of lawfully permitting a man to marry his deceased wife's sister.—l am, SENTA. RECRUITING--A number of witnesses from the prin cipal officers of- each of the large garrison towns, have been under examination for several days past by the board of officers now sitting at the Horse Guards, to inquire into ,the present system of recruiting for the army, with the view to some important alterations being made in that department of the service. CARtAtTIEA •AT SEN-A very favourable contrast with the present severe losses among shipping will be found recorded in the little return of "Transport Services during 1854, 5, and 6," not before published, by which it appears that 666,136 officers, men, women, and chil dren were conveyed in her Majesty's ships of war, hired transports, and freight ships without the loss of a single life, and that in conveying 80,062 horses and mules the loss did not amount to 2 per cent.
