four thousand men and women assisted by the usual force of Lazzaroni, paraded the streets of that neighbourhood shouting " Viva Francesco II!" and compelling the residents of the houses to take in the tri-coloured flag, while ethers put out the Bouibonic banner amid the Cheers of this wild mob. The crowd continued its march to the railway station, where they were met by the National Guard; and; after some hard fighting; in WhiEla niatiy Were severely Wounded; the giiard succeeded in stopping the 1 3 fOgress of the riot, and arresting a large number Of the people. On the following evening another demonstration took place, the greater number of the rioters being the Lazzaroni, who, as on the Preceding evening, marched in a compact body through some of the principal streets, shouting Viva Garibaldi! Viva la Dittatam ! Abbas° Parini ! This mob had swelled itself into such a threatening crowd; that the tfoops Were called out to quell these distfiriiers of the tranquility of th e c ity, arresting and tying together, like so many dogs, a large number of the principal rioters, and throwing them into the MOnastero della Pace! , These demonstrations are carefully auppressed by the Neapolitan and Milan journals, but the truth of which I can most positively affirm, having my information from a source that is not to be questioned: . The Yiinre2}, a .Pert days tßco; stated it was certain that it would be impos sible to find, in the whole length and breadth of Italy, a dozen families that are opposed to the Present change of government; and I reply, in the most positive manner, that the Sardinian regime is by no means so popular as that writer imagines: I do not confine this oliscet'ation to the Two Sicilits; iiiasniuch as the same feeling is but too evident both in the central provinces and this city, where there are hundredS of families that would be delighted to see the Austrians, here to-morrow. I do not write from what I am told, but from personal observation, and positive know ledge of facts. This feeling I believe to be greatly influenced by the monopoly of nearly all the Principal offices and Government patronage by the Piedmontese hangerson of the Catoitrian Ministry. The present system of administration bf tile En:Lilian Provinces is so unpopular that the Municipal Council were on the point of compiling a formal protest, and publishing the same in the Press, but on further consideration of the subject, and the scandal that such a document would be Sure: to produce, it was decided by a majority of the council that a private letter should be sent to the 'Minister of the Interior complaining of the inequality of the present laWs and the serious consequences that they hate npon the poorer class of the ,people. What effect or reined* this letter may haVe in modifying the Present ill-feel ing towards the GovernMent it is. difficult to fore- , tell: Another cause, of tho grates i discontent 144-1 " i t city a large number of !amities o y that shortly after the departure of the Austrians the Minister of the Interior abolished a large linmber of Government offices or amalgamated %CM 'with others ; thereby depriving a large titinitier Of eiiiploy6s of the Means of subsistence, many of iviioai had bCeli id the seiilc6 of the late 0 0Vernment teft add tift6ert years: Nearly all it!': — Les e persons were either proMised by the pre- sent dovernment some pecuniary compensation °r other corresponding appointments to other offices, but I can most positively affirm that neither coMpensaticin Mir aPpointrnents have gi4eti to any of these persons, Whose families are nowreduced to the thisery. deem it my duty to give these particulars to lour readers in order that they may be able to see that all is not so contented as many writers imagine, who form their judgment from the super ficial appearance of the present political and social tonclition of the people, In harmony with the above, I find in Ld Gazzetta di Alaimo the follow ing startling paragraph, which is atiother of the zany cunning moves of the SU/Till-fiat:l goirernrnent fdrth tiinirepe the deSpietie rititeclition the Venetians lijr the Aiisiriati goiernnient Without guaranteeing the truth of the fact, we 41. e, nevertheless, compelled, in consequence of N-Teatod applications of numerous Venetians, to Ste that there are many emigrants from that 0A . iee rho complain of haling left eir employnient in tiie oitiCes of their unhappy country in consequence of large 'Ari a l promises of obtaining equivalent appoint- dents under the Sardinian government, but which Promises have not yet been performed by the t!eutive, We are, hoviever, certain that it is Qdl iiie itibkrit hutiottant draft's of the country . Which have precluded the reEdisation of tifd dthrtel' This is, as 1 have above stated, a startling an- l louncement, which enables me to conduct the reade r behind the scenes, in order to show him some of the tricks of this political comedy, which Roes far to slit w the means adopted by the present cl7ernnterit: These Verletititis tirriife in this city, 6 ,i' in Turin, and the riexti morriirig roe r6lici. in the journals flaming articles depicting in the severest l anguage the despotism of the Austrian Govern flent, whose brutality and tyranny have compelled _ . . 4 t l other batch of " noble Venetians, of the highest Position in society, to fly from their homes and families to avoid the dungeons of the barbarous foreigner." Without further comment upon this kibieet, I here give you some particulars of the 6 ljeratious against Gaeta. The Piedmontese at ktseiit oetttpy the positions of forgo Sant' Agata f konte Tortone, Monte frtei Monte Lonibere, the Capuecini and Ponte Corvo. Titotwitlistrinding that the fortress is entirely surrounded on the l and side, still the Piedmontese find that their task is by no means so easy as was anticipated, the fortress from this side presenting but a narrow front of attack, which is almost inaccessible, besides being furnished with three formidable batteries, and mounted with guns of great range and calibre. The mountains behind Gaeta, which °oinmand the fortress, are exceedingly reeky, steep, and abounding with precipices, which ?ender the conveying to, and putting into posi tion the artillery on these heights a work of the Rreatest difficulty, coupled with the disadVantzigc °r being at a long range from the fortress. In Order to facilitate the conveyance of the guns to the top of these mountains, the Piedmontese are tioW constructing a carriage road, which is r ',:=',:;rted to be nearly finished so that ill a few Says it is probable we shall liedr df the result of their labours. The fortress of Gaeta is beyond all doubt a stubborn undertaking for the Pied kontese. Independent of its difficult approach From the land side, it is armed with 700 guns, by which if directed with anything like ability, the ging may be able to hold out for some time, and probably prolong the contest until next spring, by which time the young monarch hopes that the current of events will turn in his favour. The King is resolved to defend the fortress to the lest, which determination and pluck may perhaps induce the Times to change its tone, and award Francis 11. the benefit of "youth's distinctive N'irtue—courage." The fortress of Gaeta is reported to be furnished with provisions and munition for six months. The best feeling of devotion is evinced on the part of the officers and soldiers towards the King, and a determina tion to resist while one stone remains upon an other. As the number of troops now in Gaeta is snore than necessary for the defence of the town, it is intended at every available opportunity to draft off the superfluous number to the Pontifical States. The Italian press are unceasing in their representations of the state of Gaeta, declaring th e same to be in the last extreme, and unable to hold out for more than a few days, owing to the scarceity of their provisions ; but this is only another of the many misrepresentations of the s e journals, my information being confirmed by a recent letter to the Patrie upon the same subject. On the 11th andl4th instant, the Pied 'nontese commenced a fierce cannonade against the fortress, throwing several bombs into the town. Two of these bombs fell upon the hospital, which is full of wounded and sick soldiers, but it je reported not to have occasioned any damage. During the bombardment of Capua, the shells which were thrown into the town set fire to the hospital, and might have burnt alive every soul of the wretched sick and wounded that were its inmates ; but as they were neither Austrian nor ourbonic bombs there was no cruelty in the act. The Perseveranza evidently unintentionally pub lished in its number of the 20th instant that part of its correspondent's letter which stated that on th e 15th instant 1,010 Royalist prisoners were Sent to Gaeta in exchange for a similar number of Garibaldini. This is another fact to prove how Correct my information was respecting the battle of the Ist of October: these being prisoners of war taken by the Royalists in that sanguinary fight. t again report it is impossible to form any just idea of the immense number of killed, wounded, and Prisoners on the side of the Garibaldini, as we have never had any official returns from the first engagement up to the posent time.

I cannot take upon myself to give a positive denial to this assertion, but, knowing the proverbial exaggeration of the Italian press, class this among the many other inventions of these journals. nut this I can say, of my ovn knowledge, that the poor devils of Neapolitans, that were taken prisoners on the Ist of October, were stripped by the Garibaldini and National Guards of everything they possessed—even their overcoats and shirts—many scores having arrived here in that condition, and were huddled together in the fortress of the Piazza d'Armi of this city like so many pigs, without the ghost of a bed or even a straw mattress to lie on, and fed upon such a quality of soup till would not keep a cat aliv6: This I saw with my own. eyes, and as it is admitted by everyone Otit seeing is I must be permitted to believe and write what I have witnessed.

It is well known that there is roguery even in the bird trade ; and one rule we observe runs— IfThat no bird mottled, painted, or stained, or out of feather, or Marked in any way, shall be a show bird, except marked on toes of beak a cleir. bird, withy equal properties, t o h ave th e prefeience.'" The breed of canary which every amateur most affects iS the Bel gian, —a very gawky-looking bird, with long, thin shanks, and heavy p ro j ec ti ng 'shoulders, which seem to weigh down the head, and give " .Dick" a very strange, pert, and saucy appearance. The Belgian canary, in fact; bears about the same relation to our old . domestic favourite of English breed, that the Cochin China doeS to our farmer dunghill fowl; and there are but two grand varieties, the yellolr and the -buff.. The show, *MA Was "open to all Erigland,' l took place at the pdblie•.hall in Ifygeia.;street; and.ahout forty birds were eitlitfitcdi Who filled the room With a goad of harmony• during the mil& tiny: The canaries were not all Liverpool-bred, but had beet brought from Bolton, Wigan ; Warrington, and some evert all the way from• Kendal. A majority-of the visitors, judging from their dppearauce, Were factory operatives from the mama-hie , turing distfßis. Mr. John Robinson, of Manchester; was the judge; and the fist' prize for a yellow was awarded to a bird belonging. td i Mr', Baron', of Kendal, whose birds carried off also the second aild third prizes in the same class. The canary Which won the first prize has, we are told, carried off like honours at Whitehaven, Salford, and Carlisle ; and, the. exhibitor, who was enthuSiastie in his praises, declared that he bad just refused £l5 for him. The first prize for buffs was won by Mr. P. B. Vanderblies. Tut LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.—The fourth ordinary meeting of this society was held last night at the Royal Institution, the Rev. 11. H. Higgins in the chair. The following gentlemen were elected as mothers: Mr. Sames gen worthy, M.D. and Mr. W. Tooke: Mr: Moore, curator of the Derby Museum, exhibited living specimens of the trionyx ferox (a kind of turtle)`, from the Satarrnah river ; also the pen of a squid (a gigantic cattle fish), which had been presented to the Museum by Captain Mortimer, of the Flora Some rare and beautiful coloured corals, from the South Sea Islands, were exhibited .y Mr. Fabert, who also showed some cowrie and other shells from the Persian Sea and New South Wales, besides a variety of other objects of interest in natural history. Several donations of books and other publications were announced. The paper of the evening was then read by Mr. Thomas Dobson, 8.A., head master of the-school frigate Conway, and was entitled "The Results of the Royal Charter Storm." The principal object of the paper, which was illustrated with diagrams, was to show- that the storm was not local, but was concurrent in its action throughout Elio Conntryi arid that there was a marked coincidence between the atmospheric distUrbance which prevailed during the year with the number of fatal accidents from gas in coal mines. In 1859 there were 139 vessels totally IOSt on our coasts, and of these wrecks 77 took place between the 21st of October and the 9th of Novem ber. If this period of nearly three weeks were - omitted, the total loss during the remaining forty-nine weeks was 62,—leafing an average of only 2 weekly, whereas the average of the three weeks in question was upwards of 20. each week. The ninnber of lives lost by shipwreck in 1859 was 1,645 ; and 871, or more than one-half, were lost in the same three weeks. The number of fatal accidents in British coal mines, by accumulation of gas, also was far above the average in the month of October, 1859, Tiler° were in the year 81 such'fatal accidents, of which 18 happened in October, leaving an average of less than 6 for each of the other months of the year. One conclusion to which he came was, that the storm in question was a cyclone travelling to the south-eastward. At the close of the paper, Mr. Dobson remarked upon Sir John Herschel's theory of cyclones, which he thought too dogmatical for a science as yet so imperfectly understood. To his mind there was a great connection between cyclones and atmos-;: pheric electricity. All great storms arose in certain foci, those being also foci of galvanic action.—Captain Inman afterwards rose, and, from his practical experi ence as a shipmaster, threw doubt upon the truth of the, circular theory of storms. The conclusion to which he had come was that every storm was caused by two dis tinct currents of alt, forming an elongated semicircle, which crossed each other at two points, the force of wind being greatest at the points of crossing, so that one ship, by adopting the circular theory, might be saved, whilst another was lost. He denied, also, that -the Royal Charter storm was a cyclone. An interesting discussion ensued. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.--YLsTERDAT. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN MONEY. • Arthur todaskie, a foreigner, living at 37, Park-lane, was brought up by detective officer Layeoek, ou a charge of having attempted to obtain money by false represen tations from the society for the Relief of Foreigners in Distress. From the evidence of the officer and Mr. Hartman, the secretary of the society, it appeared that some ,days ago the prisoner applied to the society, for relief, and he , got 10s. and a pair of shoes: Subsequently the prisaner wrote to the Mayor, inclosing a letter from some person (a foreigner), stating that he was'an object of charity. The Mayor sent th letters to the society, and then it was discovered that the letter purporting to have been Written by the foreigner was a forgery; and Mr. Hartman, finding the prisoner was the person he had so recently relieved, gave hint into custody. When the officer 'asked the prisoner where he got the letter ? be said—from a foreigner ; but when pres sed about it, he said there was no use in denying the fact that he bad written it himself. Mr. Bartman in reply to Mr. Black (for the prisoner), said he believed the prisoner to have been in distress, but when be went to his house he found him in bed drunk; so that having spent his money that way, he did not think he must be very distressed. Mr. Bluck said, unfortunately the , talents of the prisoner were not duly appreciated in this country ; he spoke seven languages, and was a highly educated person. He had a wife and child very badly off, and if be were sent to jail they must be sent to the workhouse: Mr. Raffles said if the prisoner was a man of abilities he . ought nofto go about forging letters. tie thought the case'a very oad one. Th society w as formed for the relief of foreigners in distress, and it was only right to have them protected from impostors. lie would send the prisoner to jail for a month. Laycbck said the prisoner's wife had good friends in Liverpool, who were able to take care of her. BURGLARY.. An elderly man, named Thomas Alford, was charged for having committed a burglary in the house of Harriet Milliken, Rose-vale. Police-officer 847, said about half_ past three in the morning, I met the prisoner in Great Homer-street, and 'seeing something balky about him, I asked him what he had got ? He said, nothina.; but as I suspected" him, I sa id I must search him. 7-it the ,station I found a tea-pot, some candlesticks, caps, knives, tea-holders, glasses, and a variety of other property_ on him; and also a black coat. I subsequently found that the house of the prosecutrix had been broken into, an d the property stolen from it. The prosecutrix said, I Went to bed ahout eleven, and left all fast below. About half-past six in the morning I got up, and found the Brack door open and a square of glass broken in the scullery window, and the things .now produced gone. In reply to the magistrate, the prisoner said, I got the things from a man whom I met in the, street. He was sent for trial for burglary. NEGLECTING A John Levee, a German, and Mary, his wife, we re brought up on remand charged by, Inspector Valentine for neglecting their child. The details of this case were published a few days ago. The prisoners lived in D av i s _ street, off Dale-street, and it was proved that they were drunkards, and - they used to go out and leave the child (thirteen months old) in the room on some straw and nearly naked. In this way they frequently left the child for many hours, and gave it very little food, so that it was nearly starved. The inspector had the ebiid sent to the Workhouse, where every attention was p a id to it, and the surgeon from that establishment now said it was ant of danger and going on very well ; a n , i t wanted was attention and food, which it now had. The prisoners were sent for trial on a charge of misde meanour for neglecting the child. (Before Messrs. CHILTON and MAXWELL HYSLOP.) KNOC KING DOWN A " WOODCOCK." Sarah Woodcock, with a face like the top of Mount Etna in the twilight, and a gown of many colourS, an d who lives in Upper Atann-street,summened Sarah Bently, for having assaulted her, by giving - her a smack on the right side of the face that knocked her down. Mr. Parker appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Black for the defendant. Mr. Parker commenced to open the ea se by going back some time abont the period when the parties were iii perambulators, but after proceeding' from I that interesting period up to the. time they were about ten years of age, Mr. Black in terestbd him b y statin g that howe ver i n t eres ting the story of the young lives might be, neither the magistrates nor-himself had time just then to hear it; but if Mr. Parker would condescend to confine himself to last Friday week, when the knocking down of the Woodcock" took place, i t would be benefi c i a l t o the community at large. The complain an t was t h e n ca ll e d, and proceeded in a romantic strain to tell h ow t h e littl e ga me commenced, and went on tOstate that she was standing on the to p st eps of her own d oor, when the defendant came up and gave her a blow on the right her to side of the face, and knocked her down telling smoke put true t k hat in her pipe and e it !

A subscription has been commenced in Liverpool for th e purpose. of erecting a monument to the memory of the late Earl of Dundonald, better known as Lord Owl - cane, , A considerable amount of money has already been ; collet - 4A with little or, no solicitation: and the list Of 'contributors will be found in our advertising coimuns. We cannot doubt for a moment but that the people of Liverpool will hasten to come . forward to share in this just tribute of respect and gratitude_ to the memory of one of Britain's very greatest naval heroes. The general talents of the late Earl of Dandonald were worthy of Ilts professional ones. In his letters and speeches evidence Will be found of a quick and powerful mind. He enjoyed a high reputation for his scientific attainments; and he suggested, as is well known, several valuable hints for the improvement of - our steam navy. He was also emphatically the sailors' friend, so that the object now proposed has peculiar claims upon the numerous 'mariners who frequent this extensive port. The personal appearance of Lord Dundonald, in June, 1855, has been thus described :—Fancy to yourself a broad-built Scotehman, rather 'seared than conquered by age, with hairs of snowy white and a face' in which intellect still beams through traces of struggle and sorrow and the marks of eighty years of active life; a slight 'stoOp takes away from a height that. is, almost. comuian4ing. Add to these a vision, of good old fashioned, courtesy colouring the whole man, his gestures and speeches. There is now being exhibited in the windows of Messrs, Webb and , Hunt, Castle-street, an excellent portrait of his lordship, the property of Admiral. Grenfell, to whom it was, presented by our public-spirited townsman, Mr. Bramley-Moore. . AMERICA. ATIR/VAL OF THE EUROPA. The - royal tnai4 st carnet Europa, Captain Leitch, arrived. in the Aersey last evening, with dates from New York - of the 13th, .Boston the 14th, and Halifax the 1.50-1. . The New Yuri:: 11: , :rter! of the 13th inst., in an article on the administration of Pfcsident Lincoln, says:,—" The. true policy .of the President elect is simple and easy. It is marked out in the federal constitution, and in the compacts and compro mises thereof, touching this peculiar Southern institution' of slavery. The„Fugitive Slave law is only a special embodiment of one of these constitutional compacts between the North and South. Let it be faithfully adhered to, and let those other provisions of the constitution re-, cognising and protecting the sovereignity and the local institutions of the several States, slavery and all, be respected by Mr. Lincoln in all his administrative acts and recom mendations. and he will soon have a party at his back which will not be limited to the northern side of Mason and Dixon's line. To this end he should seize the first occasion that may offer for the proclamation of his• views and proposes to the country in connection with the great office to.which he has been promoted, in order that, on the one hand he may quiet,• With out delay, the apprehensions of the South, and, on the other hand, bring the radical anti-slavery agitators of his party to a distinct understanding. He has the power now to silence them. Let him exercise it' before they can .weave their webs around him for his destruction." The general and commercial news is anticipated ►y telegraph. COTTON. (.F`rthn 7V. P. Wright g Co.'s Circular.) NEW YORK, November 13.—During the past week we have had a moderate inquiry for Cotton, chiefly from our domestic consumers, who appear to be determined to get well into stock- Some few pur chases have also been made for export to Liver pool and the Continent. Prices have been steady at the quotations of last 'week, and close with more firmness since the receipt of Liverpool advices to 2nd November. The sales for the week have amounted to 6,500 bales, and the clearances have been as follow : To Liverpool, 5,219 bales; Glasgow, 135; Havre, 1,896; Bremen, 823; Antwerp, 65. Total, 8,138 bales. Crop.—"We have nothing, definite to say in relation to this subject. Even at this late date the extent of the crop is still an open question. The tendency during the past two or three weeks has been towards increased estimates, and these continue up to our latest advises from the South. Receipts for the week, although liberal, 'axe 23,000 below those for the, corresponding week of last season. The total deficit is now 140,000 bales, and the proba bilities are that we shall show a further weekly decrease for some time to come. Exports this week are on a liberal scale for Great Britain. Next week we shall show a marked falling off, as compared with last year ; we l oo k for moderate exports to England for some time. There is only a Moderate business doing in Savannah and Charleston, while at this period last season cotton was being shipped with unusual freedom. The difficulty in negotiating . and 'decline in the rate of exchange will cause the export of cotton to 'fall off, perhaps considerably, during the coming sixty days.

NORMAN BREEDS IN THE UNITED STATES.—The Monies:lr du Calvados says :—" An American gentleman, Mr. D—,_ well known in the sporting world, states , that forty-five years ago, a person of the name of Morgan bought in France a young horse of the Norman breed, and took it to America, and ttiet it is from this horse which was a very handsome animal, and of great speed, that all the best trotters in the United States are descended. So highly are the trotters of the Morgan breed, as it is called, esteemed, that every colt fetches I,ooof. more than of any other breed. The :celebrated mare, Flora Temple,' is stated to be so descended." PALLAVICINO.--It may not be generally known that Pallavicino, not long ago the pro-dictator of Naples and Sicily, was a felloW-prisoner and fellow-sufferer of Silvio , Pellico in the Austrian fortress Spielberg. A young and rich man, lie was kept for fifteen years there, in chains, a "State criminal," No news from his family was per mitted to penetrate to his cell, no letter, no book; his food was scanty, and he had to consider it a favour that he was allowed to pull charpie (lint) and knit stockings. Later in 1848, Austria sequestrated his large estates in Lombardy, where he had been one of the greatest landed proprietors. In 1856 this measure was withdrawn. But in all .circumstances his ,patriatism was the same, and his love for Italy's liberty ruled all his thoughts and actions.—Athelimum. A GA:IiEKEEPER SHOT AN GANTON. At a little before two o'clock on Friday morning,, a messenger came from Ganton to the police-office at Scarborough, with the information that one of the keepers on the estate of Sir T. D. Legard, Bart., at Ganton, near Scarborough, had been shot, and desiring that the police might be on the look-out for suspicious characters pasaing through the neighbourhood. A slight chic had been obtained at .the time our correspondent sent off his parcel; but the particulars we reserve until the sus pected party has been apprehended. The man on whom suspicion so far. rests has got several miles start of the pollee; but - his dfrection is known, and another day or two will no doubt see him in custody. The keeper is in a dangerous condition ; his face, arms, and body being severely . wounded. He was unable to state arty parti culars of the attack. WILLS AND BEQUESTS.---The will of Lieutenant- General Sir Harry Smith, Bart., G.C.8., colonel-com mandant of the Rifle Brigade, and late governor and commander-in-chief of the Cape of Good Hope, was proved in London on the 15th of November by his relict, the sole executrix, the personalty being sworn under £6,000. . The will is attested by General John Bell and Lieut.-Col. H. R. Digby • it was executed on' the 30th of July, 1860, and Sir Harry died on the 12th of last month, at his residence, 1, Eaton-place, West, aged seventy-two. The General married, in 1814, a Spanish lady, Donna Suana d e l os D o l ores de Leon, of Badajos,, to whom he leaves all his property', both real and personal, for her own use absolutely. There being no issue of the marriage rind the general having no male relative surviving, the baronetcy becomes extinct. Sir Harry was raised to the baronetcy. in 1846, for his services in the Affghanistan campaign, at Moodkee, Sobraon, and Ferozeshah.—The personal estate of the late Sir John Edward Swinburue, Bart., was sworn under £Bo,ooo.—The will of the late John Finlaison, Esq., the late Government actuary and financier, formerly residing at Gothic House, Richmond, Surrey, and late of 15, Lansdowne-crescent, Bayswater, was proved in London on the 13th_November, by his relict, the sole executrix. The personalty' was sworn under £2;000. The will is attested 'bv Andrew van Sandau, solicitor, King-street, Cheapside, 'and It. S. Tripp, Richmond. It bears date the 16th of April, 1851, and the. testator died at his residence on the 13th of April last, hi his 77th year.

EMIUNDS, Nov. 24.—A long-pending inquiry, attending the death of a poor boy named Robert Murton,at Fornham .13t, Genevieve, near this town, on Friday, the 7th of September, Was resumed and concluded last evening, by Mr. G. A. Partridge, - the local: coroner. The deceased lodged with a labourer named Curtis, and his wife, at Fornhara. Curtis is in the service of Mr..C. Nunn, a farmer in the village,, and had for some time been on bad terms with a fellow farm servant, named Hawkins, who lived near . him. The' deceased boy kept a little stock of flour apart from that of the Curtiss, and on his re turning home on the 7th of September, a pudding was made for him by Mrs. Curtis. After having eaten part of the pudding, he-exhibited symptoms of having been . poison e d, an d di e d a ft er a f e w hours' severe suffer ing. On the Sunday following the Curtises were also attacked with similar symptoms, and an examination of their flour, as well as that which belonged to the deceased boy, showed that it contained arsenic in cojasiderable quantities. Arsenic was also found on a post-mortem examination of the body of the deceased, and in the crops of several fowls which ate some of the pudding the boy left. Hawkins had had in his possession— for agricultural purposes —a quantity of arsenic, and on the' , police searching f or it t h e packet was found open, although Hawkins stated that he was unaware of 'the circumstance. It is singular that on the morning of the Bth of September, the day on which the boy died, .Hawkins in person borrowed some flour of Mrs. Curtis, a thing which he had never done before, for the purpose, as he said, of entertaining some frien&, who did not Come' to see him after all; and the greate r part .the borrowed flour was found in his house un touched, although a little was used for a pudding made Sunday and Tnesday following Friday the 7th of September. On the resumption of the inquiry last evening, it appeared that the police had not been able to show conclusively how arsenic becaree mixed with the flour in Curtis's house ; but several witnesses were called to prove that Hawkins was fully em ployed in. carting and turning barley on the Friday on which the poison was administered. On the other hand, Curtis stated that Hawkins had threatened him' several times, and that he had sent him about the yards on the Friday, twice in the forenoon, and once in the afternoon. On the whole, however, the evidence adduced was iu favour of Hawkins, who admitted that he had gone once in the day to his house for some forks. —After two or three hours devoted to the hearing of the witnesses examined, the room was cleared, to enable the jury to deliberate in private. On the re-admission of the public, the coroner announced that a verdict had been returned to the effect that the deceased had died from the effects of arsenical poison, but that there was not sufficient evidence to shew whether the poison was administered by himself or the hand of another. ESCAPE OF A CONVICT FROM ARNLEY GAOL, NEAR LEEDS.—On . Sunday morning, Thomas Foggy, 28 years of age, and a convict undergoing sentence in the above prison, escaped by scaling the walls during the time the other prisoners were at chapel. It would appear that when the chapel time arrived, all the prisoners, except those incapacitated by illness, are expected to attend divine worship, and it is the duty of a warder to see that the proper number passes him on their way. Foggy appears to have stayed in his cell, and when the other convicts were in chapel, along with the warders, he made his way into the yard, and scaled the wall with the assistance of a rope, probably constructed from the matting fibre he was engaged in weaving. He was seen on the Hoisforth road almost immediately after by Mr. John Rayson, of Lloyd-street, Kirkstall-road, and he was then proceeding northwards. Foggy, who was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment at the last Leeds - sessions, for uttering base coin (and who had, consequently, ten months yet to serve), is a native of Appleton Wiske, in the North Riding of York. FLOOD IN NORTH YORKSHIRE.—The recent heavy rains have caused the Derwent and its tributariea to overflow their banks, and on Friday and Saturday the vast tract of country watered by that river and the smaller streams was laid underwater. In many places the waters rose to a depth of four feet and even more, the hedges having for miles quite disappeared. The consequence of the inundation -will prove most destruc tive tO" the lowland farmers, the unusually rainy season having already done much injury in retarding the sowing of the wheat crop, -which will now be rendered quite impossible. Many thousands of acres will thus be thrown under spring crops. The aftermath in the grass lands will be quite spoilt by the deposit of sand and mud, and the cattle will now be totally dependent upon the scanty root crops. , Several stocks are floating down the stream, one farmer alone being said to have lost npwarels Of 20 'acres of Oats. In the marshes several beasts are reported as having been found drowned. FALLING-IN OF A RAILWAY TUNNEL.—An accident, which, had it taken place an hour sooner, would have. sacrificed the lives of sixteen human beings, occurred on the Severn Valley Railway, a new line in course of construction from Shrewsbury to Stourport. Close to Bridgnerth an extensive tunnel is in course of excava tion, which will partially run. under the town. Above the entrance, and for some distance into the tunnel, there -was a' thickness of thirty or forty feet of soil, in which a number of- large trees were rooted. - Tile usual props and supports bad been used to keep up this mass while the brickwork was being executed.. Six teen men were employed in the tunnel, and these had only left work about an hour when the superincumbent mass fell in, choking up the tunnel with earth, rock, and trees, for a distance of fifty feet. It is expected that this accident will somewhat retard the opening, of the line, which was fixed for next May._ A BOY ACCIDENTALLY SHOT AT HULL. —Between two and three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, a lad, aged 11 years, named Henry Watson, son of a labouring man residin g in Broadly-street, Hull, met his death under the following circumstances. Deceased, and another boy, named Robert Ledgard, were in the cabin of the keel Mary, of Hull, lying in Salthouse-lane Staith, i n - whi c h a gun had been left by the master of the keel olin Ostrich, who, on the previous night, had loaded it. Ile very incautiously,lett the gun loaded in the cabin, and Watson, not knowing that it was loaded, took it up and, in a playful manner, threatened to shoot his com panion Ledgard; and, whilst dodging about under the pretence of getting in the right position to take aim, he accidentally let the gun fall, when it went off, and the charge lodged in the left side of his head. Ledgard was so terrified at what had happened, that he made off, and was not heard of until some time afterwards, when he gave the above explanation of the occurrence. The dead body of Watson was found on board the keel shortly after the accident. WHAT TO DO WITFI DESERTERS.—What to do with their deserters and bad characters is 'no doubt a diffi culty with our military administrators. If we might suggest an expedient, it would be to form a corps. for foreign service, into which disconten'ed or disgraced men could be drafted—a sort of English Bashi-Bazouks. They might be called the "Retrievers" .or the "Re-, formers," with the motto on their ensign, " Not so bad 'as we seem," or, " Never too late. to mend." There is not the least doubt these fellows would fight and follow their officers as • bravely and truly as any, if selected with anything like judgment; and of f icers would be found ready and willing to command them. During the Crimean war a proposition was made to form a cor.- vict corps, and several officers of experience viewed the project favourably, more than one . offerinz to take them in " Temple Bar," PRESS TRIALS IN FRANCE.—The affair of the Opinion Nationale, about which so much has been said, came on before the Tribunal of Correctional Police.. M. 'Gueroult, the editor, and M. Dubuisson, the printer of that journal, were proceeded' against for having pub. lished, in the number of the 27th of last month, an artiele entitled "Un Cases. Belli," affirMing that "a warlike note had been or was to be presented by the Austrian Embassy to the French Government ;" that statement being erroneous, and consequently constituting what the French law calls "publication of false news." M. Gueroult and M. Dubuisson, who were both present, • were defended by M. Marie and M. Lachaud. No . report of the proceedings cL+n. be given, the law prohi biting journals from producing detailed accounts of such 'matters. The judgment of the tribunal was to the effect that "it results from the circumstances of the case that • the news contained in the article was false ; that it also r e s ults that the article was of a character to disturb the public peace, but that it w as no t p rove d th a t it h a d b een published with bad faith." - The, tribunal, in virtue of Article 15 of, the decree of the 17th Feb., 1852, and of certain artiele.s, of. the Penal Code, fined M. Gueroult I,ooofa and M. Dubui sson 100 f., an d or d ere d t h em jointly to pay the S OLD IERS AND Y costs. OLUNTEERS.—Large , standing armies h av e never been exa c tl y agreea bl e to a pe o p l e like us, who practise the arts of peace on rather an extensive scale. We are proud enough of our soldiers, when they d o anythinc , glorious; we ,welcome them home with t ea rs of joyful gratitude; we' decorate them by the royal hand of our Queen • pension them—do all we can with money to supply the loss of health or limb; subscribe for their widows and orphans in princely style; and employ our sculptors'to raise monuments to their valour. We insist that. our island home must be inviolable: that our colonies are to be protected ; and, occasionally; that the cause of freedom should be countenanced when in difficulties abroad; but if we ask any one of the '"gentle men who live at home at ease" what he thinks about war and soldiering, the chaneeS ire that while a serious cloud passes over his Ceuntenance, his hand involuntarily moves towards hi s pocket. Ilere we come upon a reserve,force in. the citadel heart of the wealthy civilian. Of course he knows well where his interest lies, and is rather disposed to boast that he has a stake in the country ; and this leads hiM to look a little -shyly at his military friend, whose sole business is fighting. Peace and Industry make a very pretty tableau, and so do War and Glory; but it is not easy to compose an allegory of the discordant elementFi without running the risk of I being offensive o r r i dicuously insipid to those of the community who, love and emulate chivalry of heroes, and those who think every thing a folly but the golden glories of commerce. But how does the picture- look under the new light shell by the volunteer movement ? Does it not promise to throw a warm harmony over the subject ? We imagine the comfortable classes may find- very deep sources of congratulation in our new institution of social defence. They may be assured that certainly no increase of the army can be entertained ; and; possibly, with the expan sion,and perfection of the volunteer 'folic, some consi derable reduction may eventually be effected, and even that terrible invader; the income-tax collector, may be kept off th e premises. The movement, which n9w advanehig so favourably, cannot be estimated by ‘that which, to use the express i on, b ro k e out i n 1 800 , although the old :" Bony " same instinctive of those days called up the e energy of self-defence. Events abroad have stirred up to a fresh sympathy i n us for all efforts to improve d overthrow all powers used against the natural expansive tendencies and aspirations of humanity, whether the peoples may be suffering under the actual evils of foreign armie s in their native land or not. This alone .favour a milit ary feeling Then we have still a live amongst us the memories of the Crimean war, the Indian campaign, and the Luekno iv heroism. These haVe infected us anew with admiration for the noble deeds and perilous adventure of the soldier's life,— grafted a new flower of, chi v alry, upon the old. stock.— Front " Bar," Na. I. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. Mr. James Anderson gave a most successful and remarkably accurate representation of Sir John Falstaff last night, at this theatre. It was enthusiastically approved and applauded by the audience, and will be repeated to-morrow and Friday. To-night, Schiller's celebrated play of "The Robbers" will be performed, Mr. Anderson playing Charles de Mr or, a character which will afford admirable scope for his abilities. • MR. AND MRS. GERMAN. REED, WITH MR. JOHN PARRY. Last evening these favourites of .the public of Liver pool gave the first of their entertainments during their present visit, in the elegant concert-room of St. George's hail. The audience was, as usual, of a highly fashion able type, and the room was well filled. Mrs. German Reed was in excellent voice; Mr. John Parry was, as usual, super-excellent in all that he undertook, and Mr. German Reed most ably and efficiently filled up his part of the programme. The representation will be given on each evening this week, and also on Wednesday afternoon. Tickets may be, had at Messrs. Smith's gaud musical emporium, Lord-street, and also at the "CROMWELL REFUSING THE CROWN OF ENGLAND." We had the gratification of having' a private view yesterday of this grand historical picture, painted by T. 11. Maguire, Esq., at • Griffiths' (late Winstanleys') Gallery, Church-street. We have no hesitation in according to this magnificent and elaborately-finished work of art the very highest rank. It is a splendid accession to the comparatively few really historical paintings which we now possess, and it represents one of the most interesting periods in English history. All the first artists and greatest critics of the day who have had an opportunity of seeing the painting have been unanimous in according to its conception and execution the palm of being much the ftuest work of its kind produced of late, not only as regards the pow - Trill/ and bold treatment of the subject and its artistic excellence, but for its really wonderful finish. Though overlying a really enormous breadth of canvas, the picture is elaborated in all its de tails With the most careful and minute touches. All its accessories are quite illusively painted, and the longer the gratified visitor gazes upon the glorious artistic feast before him, the more his admiration • and delight are excited. The Protector is taken in the attitude in which he stood in- the House of Parliarnent, oil the Bth May, 1657, when he intimated to the committee his final deter mination to refuse 'the title and office of Bing which he had been repeatedly invited to accept, in an address which concluded with the following words :—" I say I "am persuaded to return this answer to you, THAT I CANNOT.. UNDERTAKE THIS GOVERNMENT WITH THE TITLE OF KING; AND THAT IS MINE ANSWER TO THIS GREAT AND WEIGHTY BUSINESS." AFOUSd,CCUIII*CII, who stands on a dais,'holding the petition of the committee of delegates in one hand, while the other is placed on his breast, deprecatingly but firmly, are ranged in distinctiYe but harmonious group ing, the members who are recorded, or may be supposed to have taken part, in the deputation. Cromwell's figure and face are carefully studied from the Cooper miniature and the cast taken after his death, which Car lyle declares to be the most faithful portraitures of the great Protector. Among the surrounding group, each one, of whose lineaments any record remains, is a care fully executed portrait, and in all, the expression is varied, : earnest, and life-like, the attitude graceful and natural, while the general action of the scene presents a resultant at once forcible, correct, and picturesque. The drawing is free, flowing, and true. Nor, while repudiat ing the "pronounced" tints and nielodramic effects of some contemporary artists, has Mr. Maguire proved less successful as a colourist. The picture is to be engraved in the finest style, and we are informed that special arrangements have been made for the security of subscribers. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.—A man may stand for several Minutes in a particular spot; he may be proved: to have been guilty of other strange acts ; he may bear generally a bad character; an intrigue may be suspected; it may he worth his while, at any cost, to prevent his immoral conduct being exposed. All this may he true, all this may give a shade and a colour td" his every action ; but motive is not abSolutely proved, oral testi mony is wanting; and it is fooligh, and perhaps criminal, without these to point the finger of suspicion against him. Any thinking man will be brought, even re luctantly,' to this conclusion by a study of reports of criminal cases. Take ,such recent . causes celares as Palrier's,. Madeleine Smith's, and Smethurst's — one acquitted, one absolved by virtue of the Scottish verdict of " not proven," and one conviction, Palmer declaring with his dying breath that he fell the victim of a medical theory. —Front " Temple Bar," _NO. 1. THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. DENTS.—The works which have been senile time in hand at the Cathedral of St. Denis are approaching completion. The most curious portion of the building is the crypt of the Carlovingian kings, which formed a portion of the third church raised on the "mine spot, the first having been erected' over the tomb of St. Denis before the invasion of the Franks; the second by Dagohert 1., about the year 63 0 ; the third by'Cliarlemagne, in 775 ; and the pre . - sent structure in the 12th century. This ancient crypt was found tolerably preserved, and has been repaired with great care. It'contains at - present the remains of Louis XVI., Marie Antoinette. and the aunts of the former, with those of the Due de Berri and one of his children, the Prince de Conde, and Louis XVIII. The new crypt, which has been constructed to receive the.ashes of the members of the Bonaparte family, is placed beneath th e transept and a small portion of the chancel; and Immediately. west of the Carlovingian tomb, - thus bringing the two extremes into contact. It is very large, and consists of a central space and two side aisles; at the cast end of the former is a small altar, lighted by means of a window or skylight behind the high altar of the chnrch. THE GALWAY ATLANTIC MAIL STEAM PACKET COMPANY AND THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT.—The Irish Royal Atlantic Mail Steam Packet Company have made a proposal to • the Imperial Government of France for the conveyance of the French mails to and from America vid Galway, as well as for the transmission of tele graphic communications each way, the company's vessel touching at St. John's, Newfoundland, whence the cable is laid to the United States. The Emperor appears to be favourable to the project, seeing that it would tend considerably to the commercial advantage of France, by a more expeditious and more frequent intercourse with America; as, in the event of obtaining a subsidy, a weekly service would be substituted for the present fort nightly one. The Chambers of Commerce of Paris, Bor deaux, Havre, and Nantes, have passed resolutions strongly in favour of ,the project, and th e ex p ectation is that Marseille s will follow their example. From these manifestations in such important commercial centres, as well as from the favourable disposition. evinced by the French Government, the success of the undertaking may be anticipated ; and amongst other advantages likely to follow from it will he the opening of direct communication between Ireland and France ; as the chairman of the Company, Mr.'lVtalcomson pro poses putting on stea mboats between Havre and Water ford and Galway, The French and Irish markets will thus be placed within easy reach of each other. Mr. Blake, M.P. for - Waterford, Dr, Gray, of the .Freeman's Journal, and J. Leister . O'Beirne, Esq.; have been. actively engaged for some time past in taking the neces sary steps for carrying the matter into effect. A " RELIGIOUS IMPOSTOR," AND A WHOLESALE 'THIEF."—At the Bradford Borough Court, on Saturday, before the Mayor, Mr. Alderman Brown, and Mr. Alder man Light, a well-dressed woman, ;who gave her' name as. Mary Morley, aged about forty, was charged with plundering several temperance 'rind other houses, where she.had been lodging for several weeks. The prisoner was apprehended by police-Officer Bewer, in the Market Place, on Friday. Reports had reached the police sta tion 'of 'a person of the prisoner's description having, after lodging at various places in the town, plundered them of property on decamping, At the time he apprehended her she had concealed under her cloak a Bible, an American clock, and a set of fire-irons, property whiCh she had stolen from Mr. Tweed's Temperance Hotel, situated in Well-street. Bradford. She lodged there several weeks. She .at first refused to give any name or address, but afterwards gave her name, and said she had come, from Birmingham in search of her husband, who was an engineer. It also transpired that she had committed similar depredations in other t o wns, and was "wanted" . at - Halifax - and Rochdale. There were no fewer than six charges of felony against he r at Bradford, but three onl y were selected, n amely, the robbery of Mr. Tweed's Temper ance Hotel, a robbery of wearing apparel at Mrs. Curtis's house, in Sedgwick-street, and the robbery of Manningliam`Wesleyan Chapel. The prisoner appeared to be very pious, and attended frequently at public wor ship. • At Manningliam, she stole the carpet of the vestry floor. Its value was £2, and she sold it to a broker for lie. Most of her plunder had been turned into money in like manner. She stated that she was a lady reduced in circumstances, and obliged to part with her property. t She was com mitted for trial.

Sluggishness of the .body.,and depression of the mind are succeeded by a cheerful activity of the physical and mental functions. IndigeStiOrl is the parent of so many evils, and is 'so coalition, so almost universal a complaint, that it is a great blessing that such a remedy as this invaluable medicine should have been discovered.

The subscription about to be raised to reimburse Mr. Nicholls for the money lost by the late garotte robbery at Newmarket, was introduced at Manchester on Satur day last, and met with very liberal support. It is suggested that some gentleman of respectability in the sporting world in every district should take upon him self the duty of collecting subscriptions for so laudable an object. The fracas which took place at Newmarket on the Cambridgeshire day, between Sir Robert Peel and a well-known member of the ring, and which promised to furnish employment for the gentlemen of the long robe, has been arranged by the former withdrawing the offen sive epithets applied to Mr. Donald, and writing to his solicitor that he knew nothing derogatory to his honour or integrity.—The _Field.

Liverpool Early Closing Association, 7, Heathfield-street, 24th November, 1860. Gentlemen,---I have j at. received the following letter; will you kindly insert it in your paper? In the hope that ethers, may go and do likewise, I remain yours truly, CHARLES BREWER, Hon. See. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE EARLY CLOSING ASSOCIATION. The Butter Place, Liverpool, Nov. 21, 1860. Sir,---Enclosed we beg to hand a guinea towards your funds. We owe a great deal to the promoters of early closing. At o:o.e time we did not close before ten ; we were then " unknown, unfriended, melancholy, s l ow !" The early closers persuaded, us to try nine ; we did so, and our trade doubled ! That enlightened us Considerably ; so we then tried eight, and to our great surprise the trade increased as before !! This was rather more than we could properly attend to ; but, as an experiment, we tried seven. Strange to say, another jump in the trade wt.s the consequence; hence the recent extensions. Who shall say now that we are either " unknown" or" slow ?" We may thank certain gentlemen for all this; and hereby' express gratitude accordingly, not only for the above-men-. tioned pleasing results, but for the many leisure hours and other benefits more tangible arising therefrom. (How could any person write an advertisement after ten p.m. ?) We now have it in contemplation to close at six, but must net do so until we complete the erection of our little fixtures for cutting and folding butter by steam power, judging by past experienca the rush would overwhelm our prest otresources.--- With best compliments, and many thanks for your good ildvices, we remain, dear sir, yours, as usual, EDWARD KELLY St CO., Usually styled KELLY THE BUTTERMAN.

Amongst the recent improve ments the new "fountain pen," just introduced by Rudhall and Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this barrel can be taken out at anytime, so the pen can be kept perfectly clean w thout any chance of being corroded. Another feature in this pen is, that one din in the ink will last for five minutes' quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and in merchants' offices, banks, and mdeed in every place, it will be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall, South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour, CONSI7,4?TION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURABLE. -"I believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound and Aniseed - lag :prOarptl by Martin, of 22, Copperas hill, Liverpool,) grill iwo;:e of mare value, in cases of bron chitis and -incipient cnisumpaott, than any other remedy extant.
