MR. MILNER GIBSON, M.P., AT ASHTON. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) Last evening, the Right Hon. Thos. Milner Gibson, M.P., President of the Board of Trade, addressed his constituents at the town of Ashton-under-Lyne. The Mayor, Mr. B. M. Kenworthy, presided. Mr. Milner Gibson, on rising, was received with great applause. Re said the circumstance of his return rendered it a duty to appear before his constituents. It was a more difficult task than it appeared, to give an account of the last session, because he could not be expected to con demn the two administrations with which he was con: fleeted. He certainly should not praise the administra tion; but would merely say that . their earnest endeayoure had to dO the licst foe, tile ,country ; if th6y had dint su'e,eeeqd in•passing their measures of reform; it wet RptAiciF facdt: There had been habit of late, be thought, el disciedithig parliamentary speaking ; but it had been said by an eminent writer that parliamentary govern ment was a government by speaking, and so he believed it to be, and though the debates , ' they had a oe lengthened • • ......ency to elicit the truth and ripen public epunon. There might, have been failures during the last session, but there had been great commercial re %this galetilated,to benefit the neighbodrhbod of Ashton iinder:Lytie: ~,hete had been Misgiv,iiigs ,to r the: traderif the cpuetryl ,bat ,althetigh, thq .e.x.pqrt Vide had geown to its preeeet enormoes megnitude, at.was at moment increasing. In the nine months of „n 4 jear the value of the exports of British produce bad been about £102,000,000. During the same nine months of 1859 the value of the exports was only £98,000,000. It was marvellous how the export trade had increased from the adoption of free commercial principles. The cotton manufacture formed a large proportion of these exports, being £48,000,000. The shipo,ng interest also showed ..signs of ; improvemep.t.; because, comparing the nine months in 1840 and 1850, British tonnage cleared with cargoes increased by 785,522 tons, against an increase of 475,165 of foreign tonnage, so that they would see that British shipping was holding its own. These facts broaght him to the commercial treaty with France, and they might rely upon it that the French Government made, so far as their tariff was concerned, a very great change—in fact, had taken a step greater than any step of the same kind taken by this country at any time. For this treaty the country was greatly indebted to Mr. Cobden for any benefit that might arise. There had been a good deal of misrepresentations about the commercial treaty: Sonic said that England had been taken in, and that we had given a great deal and got very little in exchange. A great change had been made in the British tariff, and we ad Rivetimbcids , , airy, thing. - ,We had given en l impul,se ,te. the iriduetry of khis country ,ae.the same time. ) we had got the litreneh gle,ernment to change her tariff—we had got two good pigs instead of one. There was no bargain to make any exchanges, and we were merely taking two good thin g at once, instead of only one. If the French had . „ not changed their tariff-, A ;Vela nave been out duty to 5 1 CFt t i de chalige which we had made in our tariff. As to the French wines, a great deal had been said. It Was said that Englishmen would not drink French wine ; but the increase in the imports arising from'the treaty had been very considerable, and had increased the revenue. It had been said that great distress had been occasioned at Coventry by the conintereial treaty but the Coventry `beavers,mild not be Made an eicep ton to the principle of ,free trade., . The ,import of French ribbons had only been small, 15 per cent. ; and he thought that ,by-and-bye th% effect of ,the,. treaty Would be to ,put . the Coventry ribbon, manufacturers on sourider,besis. i'The,paper makers made a cry as to she ,intprt - ation of foreign paper ; but there had been bo chutting-up of mills ; and there had been no great importation of foreign paper, or any increase in its price. The fact was that English paper makers were able to compete with any other paper makers in the world. Re was speaking of the customs on foreign paper, and tot of the excise. He had heard it urged that it was not good policy to make a commercial treaty with France— and there was a small sect who regarded France as our natural enemy—but he viewed this matter as one of the greatest events of the day, and one calculated to benefit this country more than any which had occurred in recent years. He had obeereed a very sensible reniark made y Mr. Bright at Wakefield, that it *as a strange thing that $0,000,006 of, people iii Englaild and 36,006,000 of people in Prance, separated only by a narrow sea, vould het just as well have as extensive a trade with +o.h other, as with. people separated by the Atlantic. (Cheers.) We had a great trade with countries with More restricted tariffs than France, and he was satisfied that from this time the French tariff would be, with perhaps one exception—and that exception our own—the most liberal tariff in Europe. With reference to the income-tax, he wished to say a Word or two. It had been said by many, "Oh ! if it had not been for this Government and the trench treaty we should not have had such a high iiieothe-tai:' Re denied that, and belieVed they Would have had a higher income-tax, for many reasons. The opponents of the income-tax had always said that it was a war tax, Which meant that it was a tax to which the Govern !dent had recourse when the military and naval expen diture was very high. That expenditure was very high flow, and the question was, does this income-tax bear a larger proportion to that expenditure than in past times ? Re found that we did not pay as much of our war expenditure out of our income-tax as we used to do. Sir Robert Peel's income-tax paid 36 per cent. of the War expenditure, but the income-tax at 10d. in the Pound paid no more than 32 per cent., taking into actolint the supplementary vote of £3,000;000 for the Chita war. Re did not objent to the iiieonte-tax being Called a war tat., but he objected to people calling it a war tax and yet refusing to allow it to be Used for that purpose. He contended that with a vote of £3,000,000 for naval and military purposes, a ten penny income tax was not out of proportion. It had been represented that there had been some general transfer of indirect to direct taxation, and that the income and the property of the country were paying more than their fair share •of the burdens of the country; but he found that for every £22 paid by direct taxation during 1860 and 1861 there would be £7B paid by indirect taxation. If large naval and Military armaments were necessary for the safety of the country—and there appeared to be a feeling in the country that they were—then we could tot avoid having a very large income tax. The effects of former reductions of taxation had been to realise more revenue from twelve excise duties than formerly from twenty-seven, and it was a mistake of the House of Lords to suppose that by getting rid of a tax they were getting rid of so much revenue. With regard to the late question of the paper duty, he was stilt of opinion that it would be to the interest of the country to get rid of it, and the House of Lords, in refusing to assent to the paper duty bill, made two blunders—one financial, and the other constitutional. Ile was sorry to say that the House of Commons was not sound upon that question. He believed that one great inducement to the House of Lords for taking the course they .did was that they believed the House of Commons was not in earnest, and that the mea sure would never have passed the third reading. The House of Commons did not wish to embarrass the Government, and therefore left the House of Lords to deal with the bill. The evil of the prece dent was, however, untouched, and in future such a pre cedent might be used for some unconstitutional purpose. With regard to the foreign policy of the Government he Should say very little. Their wish had been on the one hand to preserve peace between the Great Powers of Europe, and at the same time to enable the Italians to regulate their own affairs; and he believed that that Policy had been successful. What might be looming in the future was not for him to say, but he thought that there was growing up in Europe a stronger desire to Maintain peace. The ' exhausted finances of some countries, and the commercial views of others, were likely to prevent war for some time to come, although ,the Government had adopted the policy of non-intervention, they still sympathised with oppressed nations struggling for liberty and freedom. Holding office as he did, he did not feel at liberty to act the pro phet. He recanted none of his • opinions upon public measures; he stood where he had done in all the politi cal views which he had expressed to the constituency of Ashton; and it would be his duty, whether in office or out of office, to give effect as far as possible to all the Principles which he had professed. (Applause.) In reply to questions, Mr. Gibson said he was still an advocate for the ballot. As to the Reform Bill which the Govern tient introduced, both Liberals and Conservatives seemed to be determined to talk out the bill. The measure was one dealing more with the question of the extension of the suffrage than with the enfranchisement or disen franchisement of boroughs. At the present moment nobody seemed willing to support a Reform Bill, and everybody was willing to quarrel if no bill was intro duced. He stood where he did upon the question of reform. A vote of confidence in the right honourable .gentleman terminated the proceedings. FATAL ACCIDENT. Yesterday a fatal accident occurred at the timber-yard of Messrs. Grayson and Co., Sandhills-lane. Some carters were engaged in loading a timber waggon, the pole of which broke from its fastening, and with terrific force struck a young man named George Winstanley, who was conveyed at once to the Northern Hospital, but died on his way there. The deceased, who was 18 years of age, resided at No. 6, Cotter-street, Toxteth-park. COUNTY COURT.—At this court, yesterday, before W. Hutton, Esq., judge, the only business disposed of was the hearing of insolvency cases, which involved no feature of public interest or importance. In the case of John 34 , Kenna, supported by Mr. Husband, and opposed by the detaining creditor, (No. 6 on the schedule) William Shone, of the firm of Messrs. Peter Shone & Son, his HonouK adjourned the hearing till next court, a course adopted with several of the other cases. CRUSHED TO DEATH.—On Tuesday, Dennis Moran, aged fifty-six, a master tailor, residing at 4, Carlton .street, met with a serious and, as it proved, fatal acci dent, at the 'anal bridge in Great Howard-street. The bridge is at present undergoing repairs, and a boarding is put np which diminishes the width of the street at that particular point about one-half. On Tuesday, about mid-day, Moran was passing, when a lorry came up, and he was crushed between the vehicle and the boards. A policeman had him conveyed to the Northern Hospital, where his immediate wants were attended to, after which his son insisted on his return home; where lie died yesterday. A PROSPECTIVELY WEALTHY PAUPER.—Yesterday , at the meeting of the West Derby Guardians, an old woman, from Orrell, applied for parochial relief. One of the guardians, who knew her, asked if at Christmas next she would not come into possession of £l,OOO. The applicant admitted that such was the fact, but said that the amount was in the hands of the lawyers, " and lou all * no w, gentlemen," she added, " then when awyers once get hold of money they never part with it." (A laugh.) We believe the application was declined. THE LIVERPOOL VOLUNTEER PRESS CORPS.—This corps has been accepted by the Lord-Lieutenant. In addition to the funds already received, we have to acknowledge the receipt of £5 ss. from A. Castellain, Esq; T. B. Job, Esq., £1 ls.; Henry Greenwood, Esq., £2 2s. ; D.

HORRIBLE ISIUTIDER - IN SO UTH STAFFORDSHIRE. Yesterday, at Wallbrook, a small place near to Tipton, a horrible affair happened, which has caused the greatest consternation. On Monday last a man named Henry Lewis, an engineer, came to reside in this place. With him and his wife a man named John Stephenson came to litre, and It was Understood he was simply a lodger.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, WESTMINSTER, NOV. 20. (Sittings in Banco, Michaelmas Term, before Lord Chief Justice Erle, and Justices Byles and Keating.) BRUMFIT V. BREMNER. This was a considated appeal from the decision of the revising barrister appointed for South Lancashire, affect ing the Farr, number of 1;560 votes: Mr. Welsby and Mr. Aspinall appeared for the appel lant; and Mr. Monk, Q.C., and Mr. Power, Q.C., for the respondent. The case stated that the appellant objected to the name of the respondent, and also to the names of a great number of other voters appearing on the register of voters for South Lancashire, and sent a notice of his objections to them as required by the statute, signing himself as " William Brumflt, of No. 8, Netherfield road North, in the toViiship of Evertthi, oil the register of t oters fdr he parish of Liverpool ;" and his name • appeared the bound ,copy of ,the,. current ,register of 4cr:s . ,,,prpNeed h.:0114,0p etistddit, „tile sheriff, on a sheet pasted into the book after it was bound. The name had been ommitted from the register, and after wards interlineated in the book. On the 12th of December last the deputy-clerk of the peace for the cowity of Laucaster was applied to by Mr. Bourne, of Manchester, for two copies of the register of voters for South Lancashire, and two printed copies of the regis ter were furnished to him, and neither of those copies contained the name of the appellant. A copy of the register was also brought by the appellant, which did not contain his name, and he called the attention of the clerk of the peace to the omission: In consequence, the reiise of the 6st year's reister was examined, it was fodnd that the ipPellant's name was not initialed by the revising biii:rister as intended to be erased, but by mistake a pen had been partially run through the name, and immediately afterwards the wet ink rubbed off, which had given the appearance of an erasure, and so misled the printers who had printed the register. The register, although bound at this time, and ready for signature by the deputy clerks of the peace, had not in fact been signed by them, nor deli vered to the sheriff,,, as required by the statute ; and they had therefore interlined William Brumfit's name in the register, after which the bound register was signed, and delivered to the under-sheriff. The retising, barrister held that the issuing of the two copies df fhb Printed register, and their sale by the deputy clerks of the peace, must be taken as a publica tion of the register, and as an adoption by them of the signature printed at the end, and that they had no power afterwards to make any alteration in it ; and that as the name of William Brumfit, the objector, was not legally upon the register, the notices of objection given by him could not be received, and that the names of voters objected to by him must therefore be retained on the register: If this decision was right, the names of the Voters so retained were to remain on the register of Voters ; if wrong, they were to be removed. Vol. the appellant it *as contended that the decision of the revising barrister was wrong. By the 47th section of the 6th of Victoria, cap. 34, the clerk of the peace was to sign and deliver the list of voters, as revised by the revising barrister, to the sheriff of the county, to be by him kept. The register of voters was the printed book delivered to the sheriff. In the present case it had not been delivered till the 13th of January to the sheriff, and by the statute it ought to have been delivered before the last day of November ; but this provision was Wily directory. The only register of which the revising barrister could take notice was the one delivered to the sheriff, and in that the appellant's name was inserted. For the respondent it was contended that the parties objected to had applied to the proper quarter—namely, to the clerk of the peace, for copies of the register, and on referring to it bad discovered that the objector's name was not on the register, and that therefore the notice of objection was not valid. The clerk of the peace had no power to tamper with the register or to alter it, and provisions were contained in the statute to prevent such alteration by requiring the names to be put down consecutively, and numbered. After the register was printed and sold, it was published, even before it was delivered to the sheriff. The register was signed and published, and was complete, before such delivery. If this were not so, there was no register till till the 13th of January ; but the clerk of the peace was bound to have it ready by the 30th of the preceding November. The Court were of opinion that the decision of the revising barrister was wrong. The list signed by the clerk of the peace, and delivered to the sheriff, was the register. The remaining requirements. of the section of the statute, as to the time when this was to be done, were directory only. Until the list was so signed and delivered, it was the duty of the clerk of the peace to correct mistakes in the list. If the register was a com plete register before signing and delivering, when .did it become complete ? The Court thought that the inten tion of the statute was, that it should be a complete register only after it had been signed by the clerk of the peace, and delivered into the custody of the sheriff. There must, therefore, be judgment for the appellant. STOPPAGE OF THE TyNESIDE PlTS.—Nearly all the pits lying east of Tyne Bridge are closed, and the larger proportion of what is termed Wall's End coal—i.e., the best household sorts sold in the London and other markets, are from the banks of the Wear ; the Wall's End, Willington, Howden, Percy Main, Jarrovt, Hep burn, awl other groups of pits are closed, and have been so several years ; but they are closed, not through the exhaustion of their coal seams, for their largest seams are unexplored, but they have been stopped by the irruptions of water. Various schemes have been projected from time to time to make the immense mass of coals in these pits once more available to the public. None of them have succeeded, mainly from the fact that the outlay in machinery necessary to clear and keep any of those pits clear of water was beyond the power of any single coalowner. A project, however, has just been set afoot, and the parties promoting it are going to Par: liament for the necessary powers, to incorporate a body of commissioners, to regulate their qualification, elec tion, powers, duties, &c., and to enable them to borrow money upon mortgage of the rates and tolls to be granted them, with a view to erect and maintain pump ing stations for clearing and keeping these pits clear of water in groups. It is proposed to erect pum ping sta tions at Fria rs ' Goose, Hepburn, Jarrow, Manor Wall's End, Howden, and Wall's End, with watercourses and outfalls into the Tyne. For purposes of revenue, it is proposed to levy a rate upon mines within the district intended to be cleared of watef, and also to levy a rate upon all coals wrought. The bill is promoted by the leading coalowners concerned. ANOTHER SUSPECTED MURDER IN ROXBURGHSHIRE. —The south of Scotland has enjoyed of late a com parative immunity from crimes of a grave character ; but we are sorry to have to record, within the last few days, a second case of suspected murder. Follow ing so close the Hawick murder, the case has naturally attracted much attention. It appears that a man named Crosier, a cadger by trade, some time ago fell into difficulties, and lost his horse. Much sympathy was excited on his behalf, and a subscription was set on foot with the view of raising sufficient funds to purchase another for him, in order to enable him to carry . on his business. The money was pre sented to Crosier, and he left at the end of last week to go to Kelso to purchase the horse. He never reached his destination, however, for his body was found in the river Kale, at Eckford Mill, with several marks of violence about the head. Crosier lived in the parish of Lanton, near Jedburgh ; and was a man of sober and industrious habits. When the body was found the pockets had been rifled, and there is too much reason to fear that the poor man had been first robbed and then barbarously murdered. An investigation into the cir cumstances has been made by the procurator fiscal ; but as yet no facts have been elicited tending to throw light on the melancholy occurrence. HORRIBLE ACCIDENT TO A RAILWAY GUARD AT PORTSLADE.—A shocking and fatal accident occurred on Saturday night to the guard of the short train leaving Worthing, at seven o'clock. From the evidence taken at the inquest held on Monday afternoon, at the Half Way House, Copperas-gap, by Mr. F. H. Gell, the county coroner, it appears that the deceased, gu, named Upton, a b ou t 31 years of age, has been em ployed as an extra guard, and was engaged in that eapa oity to the train mentioned. On its arrival in Bri g hton he was missed, and as he had performed his duties at Portslade, a special engine was despatched to that station, the last which the train had stopped at, but nothing was seen of him. The station-master and his assistants commenced a search, and on the north side of the up-line, about 100 yards east of the station, the deceased's body was discovered in a horribly mangled state, the lower part being completely t o rn to pieces, and a very large h o l e i n th e head. It is surmised that the unfortunate man got upon the train, near to the middle of it, on its starting from Portslade ; that in walking along to the break van, his foot slipped, and that in falling the injury to his head was inflicted, an injury which Dr. Fuller, of Shoreham, who examined the body, stated was sufficient to produce insensibility. His body must have then fallen on to the metals, for there is no doulit that the express t f a te n r, pa over him and tore h him to pieces in a minutes shock whic passed twenty arifrosm sed ing manner, in which he was discovered, for one of his shoes was found to have been thrown into a garden a distance of forty yards from the body, The jury returned a verdiet of accidental death, WEST DrII:RY (AJARDIANS. The weekly meeting of this body vlas at the board room at the workhouse. Mr. Pilling pre sided, and the other members present were Messrs. H. Edwards, I. Edwards, Shaw, Woods, Roberts, Jeffreys, Abrahams, Wareham,. Whitby, Richmond, French, Mawdsley, Webster, and Clarke. From the returns of the hospital, it appeared that last week the number of patients was 7; admitted since, 7; this week ) 14; corresponding week of last year, ; 12 Of the eases at present hi the hospital are of fetid'. The number of inmates in the Workhouse Was reported to be 3$J, Against '3d4 id the edriespOnding Week of 4st Year: CheqiieS fpr .OntddOr. relief were,grdnted as folleVri Potts, £116; "Mr. Lgthibe; £2l, miss 11i:: Roberton, £37. A communication was read from the Commissioners of Lunacy, who had visited the house, and now expressed tneir opinion runt rue sensing or viotat cases direct to the workhouse should be discontinued, and that the relieving officer should have the power of sending them at once to the county asylum. Mr. ABRAHAMS said it had been unanimously agreed by the Visiting Committee, that,. except in special cases, the retommendation should be carried into effect. He alsO stated that the COninfitten had spit mach time in the sick wards of the. workhouse, and felt the iietessity of urgirim : the board tq take I..nipecliate ptepS;.,,or,the Ock patientsiVere increasing so ,rapidly that no.furthjer peds were available for theni , enerodchinp upon the space for healthy inmates. He moved, therefore, that the architect be instructed to prepare such plans as would meet with the approval of the Poor-law Board. Mr. H. EDWARDS, in seconding the motion, said that there were at present not less than 159 sick cases in the workhouse, and it was absolutely necessary that some further provision should be made. The motion was agreed to. A lettet was tlien read from Daniel Gunn, of Garston , complaining that Mil': Itottertrini the tepe!ing-officer for that district, h a d re f use d re li e f t o lln inothei-ld-ld~9• He charged the officer in broad terms with corruption, insinuating that, for the sake of drink, which they gave him, he was making allowances to parties in Garston who had a large income weekly, independent of relief. Mr. EAMERTON gave an indignant denial to the charge. He had never taken a glass of drink with a pauper in his life. With reference to the parti€ular case of Dunn, he stated that he bad brought the step mother before the board on a former occasion, and she had been refused all relief. It was resolved to take no notice of the Conirritini6atiort; CHARGE OF , CRUELTY AND i4G -4 1:EC 4 f AGAINSI It will be remembered that an inquest,, was held last week before the borough coroner, respecting the death of Mary Ann Nile, an idiotic and insane girl, which was supposed to have been hastened by starvation ; and during which inquiry ri charge had beer evolved against Jonathan Bramham, the relieving officer for the Everton and Kirkdale district, ,of cruelty and neglect. It then appeared that the deceased resided with her grand mother and a brother, the latter earning; only Bs. or 9s. per week, in a cellar below the house 59, Townsend-st., Kirkdale. The grandmother, however, had died about a month before the deceased; and from the evidence tendered, it appeared that the attention of Mr. Bram ham had been frequently called to the girl's destitute condition, but that he had refused to give her any relief, and did not even mention her ease to the board. It was further alleged, that When, applied to on her behalf, Mr. Bramham had intimated that he might act if. they would treat him to "something hard." It was also stated by the witnesses that the deceased had been several days without any substantial food. At length a person acquainted with the family called upon Mr. Gough, the governor, who at once communicated with Mr. Johnson, the medical officer for Kirkdale. He visited the case, and she was removed to the workhouse, where she shortly after wards died. A post niortem examination was held by Dr. Nevins, who stated that death was the result of disease of the brain, but whether accelerated by want of food he could not tell. A verdict to that effect was returned by the jury. The coroner requested Mr. Gough to communicate the case to the board, and the matter having come before that body last Wednesday, a special committee had been appointed to investigate the charge. That Committee met on Friday last, when additional evidence was taken, to the following effect :— = Mr. James Johnson, the medical offier, called, stated that the deceased was too imbecile in body and mind to make personal application for relief. She had been in that state of indapacity , for at least two weeks, and would certainly have been in a more fit state for removal six weeks ago. Margaret Hogan, who lived in the cellar 59, Townsend-street, stated that the deceased's grandmother, and with whom she lived, along with a brother earning 9s. a week, had died about a month before. About four months ago the grandmother applied to Mr. Bramham for relief, but returned stating that he had told her to apply to her own parish in Ireland. About seven or eight weeks ago, witness asked Mr. Bramham for relief for deceased who was sick, and her grand mother ; but he made no reply. About a week after the grandmother's death she saw Mr. Bramham again on the subject, when he said he could do nothing for her---, she must go to Ireland. She wanted hint to take her to the workhouse, but he would not. After this the deceased was seized with fits, when she, a third time, saw Mr. Bramham ; but he only laughed a t h er . Thi s was only three or four days before her removal to the workhouse. Jane M`Callum repeqted the evidence which she had given before the coroner, stating that she had, on one occasion, informed Mr. Bramham that the deceased and her grandmother were dying from starvation. He, however, made no reply. Mary Smith. residing at 59, Townsend-street, was next called in cor roboration. Mr. Bramham had put questions to each of the witnesses, with the view of showing that he had offered the house to the deceased, even undertaking tol send a car for her : but he received, in each instance, a 'negative reply. The committee, having considered the evidence; had resolved unanimously " That from the testimony of the several witnesses brought before the committee this day, they cannot come to any other con clusion than that Mr. Bramham has been guilty of great dereliction of duty in the matter under investiga tion—that at least three distinct applications were made to him for relief for the deceased ; and that he knew she was not only sick in bodily health, but imbecile in mind. The committee have also reason to fear that Mr. Bramham has endeavoured to obtain drink from the friends or neighbours of the deceased, as a reward for the performance of his duty." Mr. `Poops, who had been the chairman of the special committee, moved that the resolution be adopted. After a full investi g ation, the charge brought against Mr. Bramh am h a d een proved. He had had every opportunity of cross-examining the witnesses, but had not been able to shake their testimony ; and from the manner in which they gave their evidence, the com mittee had a firm conviction that what they stated was true. Mr. H. EDWARDS asked what they intended to do by adopting the resolution. The CRAIRMAN said it would be for the board to take action in the matter. He thourrht they could not go through the evidence without thinking that there had been gross cruelty and neglect of duty. In the first place there was want of attention to the poor unfortunate, and then he had aggravated his cruelty by holding out an offer that if he got some drink he would attend to the case. Mr. H. EDWARDS said he rose to take upon himself a grievous duty, but it was one which some of them ought to perform. Mr. Bramham was a man far advanced in age, th e f a th er o f a f am il y , an d a l so , h e believed, a grandfather ; but he had known so much of Mr. Bramham's goings-on for the last four or five years. independently of the present matter, that if the charges could have been positively proved against him, it would have been the duty of the board to have discharged him. He should therefore move, that Jonathan Bramham, relieving officer for the township of Everton and Kirk-. dale, be suspended. He thought he was a most immoral character. very unfit for the office : and if he was not suspended or discharged, the board would disgrace itself. Mr. WOODS, as chairman of the committee of investi gation, thought he could not do less than second the resolution of Mr. Edwards. gated twice before the proper tribunals, he.did not see what advantage could result from further enquiry. Mr. CLABIOE isuppprted the amendment, as he con sidered a supension equiv;tlent.ton, dismissal. The Ciiirmas - *1 the character of the West Derby Board was now bercre tl c tieblic:;,,and ? if itherdid' not act unflinchingly in the matter, they rrtieipcteti ,in it.

HO s ET,tEIA 11\1, 1 0gT• "GEMS OF THE EMERALii Our notice of the opening entertainment by Mr. Hodson, was necessarily curtailed, but we now return to it with satisfaction. Somehow or other, Irish enter tainments on the stage, draw houses when other things fail to attract audiences, and, therefore, there must be something in these things that charm the public. It is too often the case, however, to ridicule the people of the sister kingdom= --to misrepresent them, and to attribute all io j iy, Of bYtttdcfs ahstirdities to the sons of the socl h ; th4igs: ale tioy heirig e:tploded, and Pat may be seen.la all lifi t and intenigende, for which be need not tarn hid Vali, to an oi'li ' er Mate in the world. Wh en th e I r i s h &tread is.fairlN sented, it, may challenge competition, and fierier speaking, Mr. Hodson is a fair exponent of the character ho• assumes. He personates a good many leading features in Irish life, and has evidently studied these, for in some he is peerless. In the opening scene be tween the Irish gentleman and. his servant he is excellent, and although the story is not quite fresh, he manages it with tact and ability. The original story finishes up dArerito ftorn Mr: Hedson's version, and in such hands as his, We thi*.f,tic adoieli of the peroration about the spectacles (which is omitted),,Vienici be Ore Most irresist able thing w e k now of. His SeNdoiriltdster i in dress and manner, is excellent, but the rnaitq4the dialogue, is no more like what is to be found in Tri . sli schools, than a piece of Dover Cliff is to double Gloucester cheese. No', no, that will not do—it is not even a good caricature—reform it altogether.' The Kilkenny Assizes too, is another piece of--we do not know what to call it; better not mention it at all. We allude to these defects, not because Mr. Hodson performs badly, for we may at once say that his acting is everything that eciithl be wished; but for the purpose of disabusing theAincla fit these Who draw impressions of Irish life and customs iron ghat stO on the stage only—and this we knowie frethient jr the ease; to the prejudice of our Hibernian neiglib l ours: . dive then/ a deaf stage and no favour, and represent theM more; and fairplay will have no less. As an rish "jarvey" (car-driver) Mr. Hodson dresses to the pink of perfection ; but appearing in this difficult character so soon after Valentine Vousden, shows no small pluck. The latter must ever remain the Emperor of Irish jarveys, and so we leave Mr. Hodson, with this remark, however, that he sings that ballad, " Sweet Pe gg y —th e Low-baCked Car," remarkably well. This is one of the few ballads by Lover worth calling pretty. Let us glance now at the other side of the picture : in the character of "Paddy O'Rafferty" (with a little less grotesque, and more attention to natural pronunciation) Dix: itodsott may be said to be peerless. He dresses and looks titan the dialogue Is good, and given admi rably. It is truly fi fine Charade/ 1 faithfully represented; and, as we have. already , said; tile song " The Whistling Thief," that aceelitianieS obliterates all the sins of commission and omission cornMitted by Mr.. Hodson, in our eyes. As we are on Irishism's, the one, we could go eight nights out of every week to hear him sing that song ! He has no equal, nor ever will, in that song. The great flexibility of his voice, and the power of changing it in this exquisite cantata, is almost enchanting. In fact he sings all his songs to perfection —no matter what the poetry may be he makes them tell. Here, however, we must observe, that the accom paniment of the piano—excellent in its way—is much too loud, and drowns some of the best passages in the voice of the vocalist. This should be looked to. In the " Bellman i " Mr: Hodson is natural and droll: He tells one old story in a new dress, so that its own father would hardly recognise the bantling; but that is neither here nor there, as it is well told, and cannot fail to produce an effect. Such ate a few of the leading features of that part of the entertainment called " The Gems of the Emerald Isle." The second part is not less attractive, and represents a number of animate celebrities on and off the stage, in many departments—oratorical, vocal, tragic, comic, musical, (instrumental,) and the like, His voice—for he is an A 1 ventrilognist—here renders him yeoman's service, and his wonderful powers of absolute face changing, makes the thing perfect. His personation of a showman at a country , fair, with one of the best trained dogs we ever saw, is incomparably the best thing we have looked on. This, and his imitation of the celebrated conjuror—with real conjuring experi ments—must be seen, and will then be enjoyed. An imitation, and a very graphic ono too, of the Christy's Minstrels, winds up the whole, of which we have endea vottred to give a correct synopsis. And let us now say, that on the whole Mr. Hodson is a man of versatile abilities, and that in his excellence; and his exertions to please, he is successful. Re goes through more real hard work in two hours than any other single actor we have beheld, .and we trust he will remain at least a fortnight amongst us, to delight thousands more than he has already succeeded in pleasing. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) SHOP-LIFTING. Richard Walsh, a young man but an old Offender, was charged for having stolen six shirts from the shop door of Mr. E. Kersley, draper, 20, London-road. From the evidence of two persons who were passing the shop about six on Tuesday evening, it appeared that the prisoner and another young man were observed lurking about the shop door in a very suspicious manner. An eye was kept on them, and after some time they snatched a bundle of shirts consisting of six, and ran off With it. The prisoner was captured, but his companion got off with the shirts. The prisoner was remanded. PLUNDER OF TOBACCO. A young girl, named Louisa Holt, was charged by Mr. Steele, tobacco manufacturer, Duke-street, for steal ing a quantity of tobacco. The girl was employed in the large establishment of Mr. Steele, and was detected going out with a quantity of tobacco. Mr. Steele said he had upwards of 100 girls in his employment, and he only wished to find out if any of these bad influenced the prisoner to steal the tobacco. He did not wish to punish the prisoner. She was put down for the present. AN ESCAPE WITH £6O. Eliza Taylor and Mary Walton, " unfortunates," were brought up on a charge of having . stolen £6O from a gentleman, named Robert Cochrane, in a house of bad repute, kept by a person named Hayes, in Finch-street. Mr. Bluck appeared for the prisoners. The prosecutor said he went to the house in question at five on Tuesday evening; he was not sober. He then told how he had gone with the prisoners to the Parthenon, and other places ; and subsequently he lost his money. On cross examination by Mr. Bluck, the prosecutor said he came from America about three months ago, and was in Scot land and England since. He is a builde r, and is g oi ng back to America to-day. The cross-examination, Was continued at some length, and the prosecutor gave an account of his wandering through town, to singing rooms and other places with the prisoners and other females. He admitted that he was "pretty drunk," but that he knew what he was doing. Mx. Bluck contended that there could be no reliance placed on the evidence of the prosecutor, as be was so drunk that hecould not tell where or how he lost the money. The c prisoners were remanded for a week, in order to make inquiry about the money. CHARGE OF remand,EMBEZZLEMNT. John Downes was brough t up on charged with having embezzled several sums of money belonging, to his late employers Messrs. Jones, Enwright & Co., shipbread bakers. Mr. i Martin appeared for the prose cution, and Mr. Cobb for the prisoner. Mr. Cobb said he was not prepared to go into the prisoner's defence, and he would therefore ask for a remand. Mr. Martin said he had no objection, and the prisoner was remanded for a week, but to be brought up before that time if the case be ripe for hearing. GRATITUDE! John Pierce was charged by David Davis of. Caza neau-street, with having stolen his watch and £2 in money. It appeared that the prosecutor brought the prisoner from the country, and got him a situation ; h e also kept him in his house and fed him, until he could get " square." On Monday morning he took prosecutor's watch and £2 in money, and went to a house where he spent the latter. When that was gone, he pledged th e watch in Whitechapel, but told where it was. He w as sent for trial at the sessions. PROTECTION. Mr. Bluck appeared on behalf of a respectable-looking female, named Anne Hall, of Chadwick-street, to seek an order of protection from her husband, under the following circumstances : —He stated that the husband of the applicant was the steward of a ship, and some tun years ago lie left her, and has not returned since, although she has reason to believe he is alive, an d perhaps would return. She was going into busi ness, and was anxious to protect her little property, if her husband should return. The applicant was then sworn, and having corro borated the stat ement of Mr. B luck , the order of protection was granted. (Before Messrs. BOOTH and CUILTON.) Mr. Higgins, the chief inspector of nuisances, h a d the owners of several cellars summoned for neglecting to have them clean and whitewashed, and various fines were imposed. Mr. Wil son , th e i ns p ec tor d , had the lodging-houses owners of a number of lodging-houses summoned for not having th e i r h ouses washed and c leaned, according to the act. Fi nes o f f r om one to fiv e shill ings were imposed. Mr. H. EnwAnns was sorry to say that for a number of years past he had known Mr. Bramham to be a pro fligate and immoral character, and if he were continued as a relieving-officer of that Union, the board would disgrace itself. He did not speak with any vindictive feeling against Mr. Bramham, for he had none. Mr. WOODS said it was right to say that two wit nesses had appeared on his behalf. One, Mr. Royds, spoke strongly in his favour, as being a humane and attentive man ; and another, a Scripture reader, who attended at the workhouse along with the party who had called upon Mr. Gough respecting the deceased. Mr. H. EDWARDS—WeII, I have heard the same man talk of Mr. Bramham in the most disrespectful manner. Mr. Woons—l thought it right he should have the benefit of that. Mr. WHITBY—At the same time, I understand, that was the unanimous resolution of the committee. Mr. ISAAC EDWARDS said he always understood that Mr. Bramham was a most efficient officer. He proposed as an amendment that the evidence be sent to the Poor law Board, and that they be requested to send down an inspector to examine the witnesses. Mr. H. EDWARDS—If suspended, it would be in the power of the Poor-law Board to reinstate him. Mr. ISAAC EDWARDS—I don't wish him suspended. Mr. H. EDWARDS said the witnesses had been already twice examined. Mr. ISAAC EDWkRDS thought the motion was very severe upon Mr. Bramham. He was an old officer, and he was sorry to hear the remarks of Mr. Edwards. elMr. H. EDWARDS said he could say more about the immoral conduct of Bramham. For the last four or five years he bad watched him, and knew more of his goings on than any other man at the board could possibly do. There was not a more immoral man in the county of Lancaster. Mr. ROBERTS thought it an unusual course, and a very severe one, to suspend an old officer. He surely must have had some merits when changed from one position to another. It had been said that it was the unanimous decision of the committee, but — The CHAIRMAN—You were appointed on the com mittee. Mr. ROBERTS was not aware of it; be knew nothing of it till the enquiry was over. There were two guar dians for Everton and for Sirkdale, but, to his know ledge, none of them were present. They should take into account the class of officers that they had to deal with, and should not give credit only to one side. He believed the Commissioners of Lunacy were about taking the matter up ; and if he was proved, to their satisfaction, guilty of neglect, it would result in some thing like punishment. They should give the man a fair chance. He seconded the amendment, that the evidence be forwarded to the'Poor-law Board. r.eLE:eveErittatsn legalaidthe firm to Commissioners instructed Bram ham for his neglett in the matter. Mr. RoBERTs—The man would be morally discharged or suspended. The CHAIRMAN said the evidence was either true or false. The committee had examined the witnesses as well, he believed, as they would be in a court of justice. Mr. Bramham was present the whole time. Ile had asked a number of questions, but could not shake them in the least. Mr. Brown, the scripture reader, gave the best of characters to Leischmann, who commenced these proceedings, having looked in and seen the deplorable comiition of the deceased. Mr. ABRAHAMS said, after the matter bat gone so far, he did not think they should be doing their duty to the public at large if they did not suspend Mr. Bram ham. They were bound to protect the poor as well as t h e i r o wn aggro ; and after the case bad been investi- THE DAILY TIMV, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1860: TRYING A FIRE! Mary Sullivan, summoned Patrick M oone y , for £ 5, damage don e to certain dresses, &e. Mr. Bluck was for the complain an t, an d M I. C o bb for the defence. The defendant lodged with the father of clai mant in Wrjght street, and it was stated that he got notice to leave the house, and on this some ill-feeling was created, and the defendant was heard to say h e would burn the com plainant's clothes. Th e clothes were burnt, but the difficulty was to bring home the charge to the defendant. Mr. Cobh asked th e g i r l h ow o ld she was ? and she replied, eighteen; and he then submitted that she could not sue, as she was an infant, and her father should be the person to sue. Mr. Wybergh said, there was a penalty in this, and therefore the girl was competent. Mr. Cobb then cross-examined the girl with the view of showing that she had a vindictive feeling against the defendant, but she denied that allegation. Several witnesses were examined pro and COO. and at last the magistrates decided on di sm i ss i ng t h e claim. SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.--A sad case of self destruction occurred at Hipperholme, near Halifax, on Tuesday morning, when the Rev. John Warburton, master of the famous school there, was found s uspended by a cord to his own bed, and dead. The deceased, it is said, had become much dep resse d d ur i n g the last few m onths, arising from family disquietudes, a depression much increased by the death of his wife, which occurred some six months ago. He was a man of rather reserved manners, but yet amiable, and greatly respected. Very many will read this brief record of his end with regret and even distress. It may interest some readers to know that the late Sir Robert Peel was fora considerable time a scholar at to liipperholme School. THE' I i AW IO3 / 1 9 1( TEAS ,AND‘ SIR It. W. CAItbEN.. At the Guildhall Poliee-v!ffeei on Tue.sday, Mr. Ser ijeant Parry, itistructed by Mr. Alberi soliciyr to the, Pawnbrokers' Association, attended before Sir Carden, accompanied by the following deputation :—Mr. LkOlr; of Flinglial-street ; Mr. Attenborough, Ox ford-street; ; Mr. Nathan, of Limehouse; Mr. Walters, of Adttsgotesstreet ; .Mr. J. Dicker, of Limehouse; Mr. Sowerby, 6lal'svtii,b:tteet; Mr. Blizard, of Paddington ; Mr. G. Smith, of Cheiliet Mr. Robertson, of Southwark ; Mr. Folkard, Vauxhall ; Mr. Redpath, of Seymour-street; Mr. Child, of Shad well ; Mr. Dicker, of Camberwell ; and Mr. Avant, of Yltet.street. Mr. Serjeant Parry, addressing Sir R. W. Carden, said==l ad/ going to ask, as a matter of courtesy, that fort Will allow rite to make a statement on behalf of a reapettable Cody of gentle - men. I represent the pawnhroVerief the' ritettop'oiis, being instructed by their trade association, the tifesiVerit Of which you are acquainted with and know to be a' frklify tespectable and honourable gentleman, and the statement liWe to make to you is in reference to certain observations made by you in a case in which a person named Graham was accused of matters which, I have no doubt, form the subject of very grave charges against him. It is not my intention to offer any remarks upon that case, but merely to remove from your mind an erroneous impression *hi& gate rise to observations from you towards the En ot the ease ;: and I think, Sir Robert, you knout enough of lee to tee)' silted that I will not make any remarks of an tinebateen&Ot di - Yespbetfuli chatratet. The gentlemen I represent do not e W:114. tri &eking this explanation, to convey anything offensite or di towards yourself, of whom I may say, as a magistrate, they have the highest opinion. I hold in my hand the shorthand writer's notes of that which fell from you on the occasion, the effect of which was, that pawnbrokers lent but a very small proportion of the value of property pledged, and that when the property happened to have been.ectolett ltd further inquiry was ever made about it by the person' die ;' and, although pawnbrokers , were required to send it a't tte entl of twelve months to a , public auction, and ke4 &beard of the surplus, it was very rarely that such sUrpluS vialfepplied for, so that a pawnbroker's profit on such transactions was enormous, and in many instances induced them to risk having to disgorge the property under circum stances like those then before the Court. That is the part which affects my clients, and at which they feel exceedingly annoyed. lam bound to tell you that the Act of parliament compels them to send all unredeemed pledg,eg W Ise sold by public auction, and, so far from there being a large profit derived from such transac tions, I am prepared to show that they are the most unremunerative branch of a pavnbtOkeris business. Mr. Serjeant Parry having produced smile statNtic in sup port of his statement, Sir R. W. Carden said,—l am very glad you hate given me the opportunity of explaining that, far from imputing any dishonourable conduct to the pawnbrokers in general, I consider them a very useful body of men. Some of them are guilty of indiscretion at times, and we know that there are among the pawnbrokers, as in every other trade, good, bad, and indifferent. There are some who do not deserve the encomiums which I am dispuseel to pass upon the gentlemen who have cbm'e b'efore me to , elay, for in the case of Graham, allifded to by the learned eoonsel, it was proved that goods were pledged to the amount of £5OO, scarcely half their wholesale ttade table, and we know what the retail value is. In one instance the pawnbroker took in valuable goods from a woman who_ gave two different addresses, and I do say be ought to have been more careful. I know that the general body of pawnbrokers are respectable men, and I should be very sorry to cast any imputation upon so respectable a body. You cer tainly have relieved my mind of a very great error, for from the quality of the goods, and the value, I was led to believe that if left unredeemed the amount advanced would leave a profit which would justify the remarks I made. Perhaps the gentlemen before me have been more liberal in their advances, which would account for the losses shown. At all events, I had no wish to cast a slur upon the trade as a body, as they are not only very useful in their business, but the information fre quently furnished by them in furtherance of the ends of justice has been of great public benefit. _ _ Mr. SeijeantitParry again thanked the worthy alder man, and withdrew with the deputation. The Grand Duke of Tuscany is at present staying at Vienna, but will soon leave for Bohemia, where his family possesses extensive estates, to which large addi tions have been recently made. The Semaphore of Marseilles states that twenty-five mare of the Irish Brigade who were taken prisoners by the Piedmontese have arrived there on their way home. They were sent to Marseilles by the Sardinian Govern ment. THE FEMALE SCHOOL OF ART.—The exhibition of paintings, drawings, sculpture, and other works of art, will be opened early in June, 1861 ; the proceeds of such exhibition, and sale of pictures, &c., to be appro priated to the fund now raising for a building . for the permanent establishment of the Female School of Art. The exhibition will terminate with a bazaar, for which contributions are respectfully solicited, such contribu tions will be thankfully received by the superintendent, at 43, Queen-square, London, on or before. the Ist of May, 1861. GARIBALDI.—We read in a Naples letter :—" The Washington, which had returned to Genoa after having Conveyed Garibaldi and his friends to Caprera, has again quitted that city for the island, with Garibaldi's daughter and the family of Col. Deideri. It was with this family that Mdlle. Garibaldi remained during the war of inde pendence in Sicily and Naples. Colonel Deideri is the most intimate friend of Garibaldi ; they both belong to Nice, were at school together, fought side by side in America, and have, in fact, scarcely ever been sepa rate. The colonel resembles Garibaldi, and is about of the same age." DEATH ON A RAILWAY. PAINFUL SIGHT. —On Tuesday an old man was cut to pieces on the West Midland Railway, at the Daisey Bank station of that line, about three miles from Wolverhampton. Having taken his ticket for Wolverhampton at about half-past ten in the forenoon, he heard a train approaching, and was about to cross the line, when he was told by the station master that that was not the train that he wanted to travel by. Nevertheless, the old man ran across the line. .In his haste he could not obtain a firm footing on the platform on the opposite side, and fell hack on to the line. He leaped up again, but again fell back. Before he could make a third attempt the train was upon him, knocked him down, and, passim* Over him, cut him to pieces. The sight was a most painful one to the passengers at the station, by all of whom the unhappy man's death was seen. It was afterwards found that he was John Vale, a locksmith, of Walsall-street, Wolver hampton, and that he was 68 years of age. The train by which he was killed was a goods train, and did not stop at llaisey Bank. SPECIAL SERVICES FOR THE WORKING CLASSES. — Arrangements have been completed for a series of ser vices for the working classes, under the auspices of the London Diocesan Home Mission, of which the bishop is the president, and which will be held in various densely- Populated districts of the metropolis during the forth coming season of Advent. Among the churches which have been selected are St. George-in-the-East, All hallows, Thames-street; St. Matthew, Pell-street All Saint s , Spit a lfi e lds ; St. George, Ealing ; the parish church of Hammersmith ; St. John, Bethnal-green ; St. Giles-in-the-Fields, St. Leonard, Shoreditch ; and St. Anne, Limehouse. The mission has at present six clergymen at work under its auspices—two in the east, one in the north, one in the north-east, and two in the south-east of London. Another will be appointed at the close of the present month, and the number will be increased as soon as the state of the funds will admit of additional appointments. SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY. — On Sunday morning last an accident of a very serious nature occurred on the Midland Railway at Nottingham. It appears from the facts adduced that on the morning in question, about 4 o'clock, the mail train from Derby was going to Nottingham, and when it arrived at the Midland goods station of that town the engine-driver perceived that the gates on the Victoria-toad (which is the principal thorbughfare into the town) were shut. He immediately put on full steam and dashed through them, while he and the fireman threw themselves down between the engine and tender, and thus escaped the flying missiles from the gates. The cause of the accident is explained in the following manner :—On the gate there are two signal lights, one facing towards Derby, and the other towards the Notting ham passenger station. The light facing Derby had gone out, and, although the engine-driver signalled three times before reaching the gate, the two men on duty, John Coultman and William Cort, failed to hear them ; the consequence was that the gates were com pletely smashed. The train shortly afterwards arrived at the Nottingham station, none of the passengers hav ing felt the least shock. It is suspected that the gate men were asleep at the time the accident occurred ; and an inquiry is to be made into the matter. AN INTERVIEW WITH ANTONELLI. — A correspondent of the Patric, at Rome, gives an account of an inter view which he had a few days ago with Cardinal A n tonelli :—" The Cardinal received me with great courtesy ; when I was announced, he rose, advanced towards me, and with an amiable smile offered me a chair by the side of his own. His Eminence is 'dill young ; at least he is not so old as would be imagined, considering the high dignities he occupies in Church and State, and the length of time he has been known in the political world; he is short, thin, and has that yellowish complexion which is common at Rome. His appearance at first view does not create a favourable impression ; his eyes are deeply sunk and extraordinarily brilliant; his regard is restless but piercing ; on his forehead are wrinkles caused, not by age, but by overwhelming res ponsibility. As to the subject of our conversation, it was, I confess, of little importance to politicians eagerly desirous of diplomatic revelations. I was not up to the mask of the President of the Pontifical Council of Minis ters, and he kindly placed himself on my level. We spoke of Rome, of its ruins, of its monuments, and of Franca, which his Eminence knows as well as if he had resided in it for years. Of politics the Cardinal said not a word. But in speaking of the commonplaces referred to, and which are often so insipid, he displayed great charm and good nature. The stay of the French army of occupation at Rome would have appeared to me a natural and convenient subject of conversation, but on it the Cardinal maintained extreme reserve. He, how ever, gave me to understand that in his opinion our troops really had nothing else to do than to live quietly at Rome. He,- with a marked intention, reproached the French with copying the uniforms of the Pied montese, and I could hardly help smiling at what he said. lie afterwards spoke of the social relations to be ' formed at Rome, and promised me a pleasant winter with balls and parties. From this I drew the multi ' sion that in his opinion the French are not on the eve of leaving the Eternal City, Such Was the substance of our conversation.

Mr. Howard Glover is writing an opera to a book founded on the subject of the,celebrated drama, " Rug Bias," supplied by a well-known hand. The story (says the Musical World) is admirably suited to the purposes of the operatic stage ; and few would be likely to treat it more con g enially than Mr. Glover. A new drama, from the pen of Mr. Watts Phillips, entitled " A Story of '45," has been successfully pro duced at the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane. The drama is cleverly constructed, the interest of the audience rising to its conclusion.

Madame Dudevant, better known as Georges Sands, who a few days ago was reported as being at the gates of death, has recovered and is even in perfect health. Madame has grown enormously 'stout, in fact. She has recently made over the whole of the copyrights which remain in her hands to the firm of Michel Levy and Co., the representatives of her former publisher, M.

Nisbet and Co. is another contribution to the Maurice contro versy (as it may be called) by that eminent leader (if the Free Chnrch of Scotland, Dr. Candlish, of Edinburgh. The work will be entitled " A Letter to the Right Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury, President of the Young Men's Christian Association, on Mr. Maurice's republished Defence of himself." Dr. Candlish, it will be remem bered, is the author of a previous " Examination of Mr. Maurice's Theological Essays." • We some few weeks ago stated that Herr Leopold 'de Meyer, the eminent pianist, had been suddenly attacked by paralysis—the cause of his non-appearance along with Madame Novello's party. We regret to learn that he is still a sufferer, and that there appears to be little hope of his again delighting the lovers of the piano forte. Equally regretful tidingA, come from poor Ernst, the greatest of modern violinists since the days of Paganini, of whose recovery there is said to be no hope wh a tever. . . Mr. Tom Taylor, in the production of a real " origi nal" drama at the Haymarket—not this time to be mistaken for a vamp from the French—has met with another reverse, the usual fortune of a life struggle, whether on the stage or in the field. " The Babes in the Wood" had the misfortune, in spite of Mr. Taylor's experience, to keep the audience four hours before the fall of the curtain, and the consequence was much dis approbation. The piece has since been considerably curtailed, and being broadly farcical keeps the people in good humour, but it cannot be accepted as a sterling comedy, which it professes to be. We hear that Messrs. Chapman and Hall will shortly publish another volume of poems from the pen of Wm. Bennett, the author of "Baby May." Mr. Bennett's new volume is to contain the "'Worn Wedding Ring," and other poems stamped with the character that has given their author a place of his own amongst the chosen writers of the time. The author of some of the sweetest poetry that has ever been written.about child hood will in the volume now under promise, try his hand on a bolder form of utterance, and is to give us 100 sonnets, which will be brought for the first time before the public.

At Mr. Murray's annual trade sale, which took place a few evenings ago, the attendance was unusually large, and the sale of the new books excellent. Of Mr. Hepworth Dixon's "The Personal History of Lord Bacon," 1,400 copies were sold; of Mr. Motley's "History of the Netherlands," 2,950 copies ; of Sir Francis B.

The sale of reprints and new editions was unusually large. At Mr. Bentley's trade sale there was also a lively com petition among a more that usually large gathering of the trade. Among the more successful new works pre sented were Dr. Hook's "Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury," of which the whole of the first edition was sold ' - "Autobiography of Mrs. Delany ;" "D un- , donald's Autobiography ;" and Davis's a' Carthage.' Among the reproductions were the "Inp;oldsby Le gends," of which Messrs. Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. took 500 copies ; “Creasv's Decisive Battles ;" " Fran catelli's Modern C o ok er y,"' &c. PROTESTANTISM IN ITALY.—The Sunday Journal, of Kcenigsbere, publishes a letter from the Rev. M " Detroit, a Protestant minister now in Italy, which states that Protestantism is spreading in that country, and that congregations, following that religion, have been formed at Pisa, Pistola, and Leghorn. ARMOUR-CLAD VESSEL FOR RUSSIA.—The Russian Admiral, Count Putiatine, left London on Wednesday evening last for St. Petersburg, taking with him, for Imperial approval and ratification, the drawings and contract far an iron-plated vessel of war, which is to be built fort with on the Thames.

ADDRESSED TO THE EUROPEAN COURTS. The following note has been addressed by the Mlitister of Foreign Affairs of Francis 11. to the cl : ipthmattie agents of that monarch. It is dated Oath.; 15th instad In a previhnh despatch I Made known to you in what manner the feVolationary Government of N'aples had despoiled the King ett meet and all the Royal Family of their private fortune, and ?tilde& oalatnny to the viola- tint! of all•laws. It was not enough: to . take possession of the" iinmense artistical riches which his Majesty, although they &longed to him by inheritance, had always left at the command of his people, thereby drawing an immense number of person's . to' the capital ; it was not enough to arbitrarily confiscate this majorats of the princes, the marriage portions of the princesses, the resources of orphans ; the legacies left to the poor by Feralhand IL, and the inheritance of the holy Princess of Savoy, nit adored mother of the King our master, but they have ohefttf the logic of anarchy by distributing the private fortune of . thr; Royal family among indi viduals who for the last twelte• years have not ceased to conspire against the dynasty, the throne, and social order, and against all the principles vrhiCia , constitute the basis of universally recognised right. You will comprehend, sir, that these are not men of sincere opinion who have fought and suffered in the struggle against the established government, and that it is not those men rho will profit by this sub -Persive act. Honest men, of whatever opinions they may he f will reject with indignation all participation in this act of rapine. After the glorification and remune ration of the regicide, those who have several times sworn to murder Ferdinand 11. must have a large part of the booty of his family's fortune. The justice of the revolution wills that children shall be forced to remu nerate attacks committed against their parents. In the decree enclosed, note well the preamble and the date. It is therein said, "On the 15th of May, 1848, Ferdi nand 11. violated a sworn compact, filled the city with terror and with blood,• substituted arbitrary acts and Violence for the law, and from that time commenced political persecutions." If a Government ever had a right to make resistance it was on that day. For the first time the representatives of the people assembled ac cording to the Constitution sworn to by the King and by the nation, when, in order to prevent the pacific inaugu ration of parliamentary labours, revolution broke out. Everyone knows that the Government adopted every means of conciliation before it had recourse to force, and that after the suppression of the outbreak it has tened according to the same constitution to convoke a new Chamber. The decree above alluded to is signed by King Victor Emmanuel as well as the others ; the date of the 23rd October is posterior by two days to the plebiscite attributing to Victor Em manuel the sovereignty of the Two Sicilies, and by eleven days to the determination come to by the King of Sardinia not to wait for the plebiscite, and to pass the frontier of the kingdom and take possession by force of the States possessed by the House of Bourbon. The insolence of those acts is evident, since the King of Sardinia has conspired against the throne of the King of the Two Sicilies, and, violating Divine and human laws, went in person to consummate an odious aggression, and now lends his name, his authority, and his armed force to the execution of those enormities of which he dares to take the responsibility before Europe and before posterity. I have considered it my duty to address myself to you, Sir, in order that.you may make known to the Cabinet to which you are accredited in what manner the King's Government regards those facts, and in order that you may solemnly and formally protest on the part of Francis 11. against the revolutionary decree of the 23rd October. Be kind enough to leave a copy of this despatch with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and acknowledge the receipt of it. PROTEST OF SPAIN AGAINST SARDINIA. The following is from the protest of the Span ish Government, against the entrance of the Piedmontese troops into the Neapolitan territory. It is dated from Turin, 9th October, and bears the signature of the Spanish Ambassador at the Court of Sardinia : The treaties constituting the international law on which the peace and equilibrium of Europe repose, cannot be cancelled by univeral suffrage, exercised under the circumstances and in the form that it will be in Southern Italy. Europe will never admit, in its rela tions between nation and nation, a political criterion which would overthrow all legitimate right and all international facts. To condemn the series of facts which have brought the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies into its present con dition, the undersigned need not to appeal to the most simple rudiments of right, or to the opinion of Europe, or to the higher principles of morality ; it will suffice to cite the severe but just judgment which the Sardinian Government has itself pronounced on the armed inva sion of Sicily and Naples, and to repeat the explicit and solemn reprobation which official documents have in flicted, in the name of Victor Emmanuel, on those who violated the territory of a friendly Power, making war on a nation which was at peace with Sardinia. It is in vain that attempts are made to justify this intervention, so hostile to the King of the Two Sicilies, by the desire of putting an • end to a state of anarchy arising out of voluntary aggressions, and by the inten tion of preventing demagogical revolution from making itself the master in Southern Italy. Right-thinking minds and Governments truly conservative will, with reason, maintain that the violation of all international principles, and the ostracism of legitimate dynasties can never be an effectual means of checking the development of revolutionary elements in Italy and in Europe. The Spanish Government, which has spared no effort within the spheie of its influence to obtain a close alliance between the principal States of the Italian Peninsula, and has always seconded every tendency calculated to bind the interests of the Princes to those of their people, contemplates with deep grief the series of events 'which, commencing by the attack made on the legitimate rights of an innocent orphan in the person of Duke Robert 1., continuing with the invasion of the States of the Holy Father, and finished by the conquest of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the annexation of Southern Italy to the hereditary possessions of the King of Sardinia. Loss OF SEVEN LIVES.—A sad catastrophe occurred on Wednesday night week. A sloop called the Char lotte was on her way from Leeds to Lincoln with a cargo of rape cake, and while taking the turning from the river Ouse into the river Trent she came in violent collision with a sandbank and capsized. The tide was running at the rate of eight knots an hour at the time, and the unfortunate vessel turned completely over, bot tom upwards. There were seven persons on board at the time, the whole of whom were drowned. They consisted of the commander of the sloop, Capt. Taylor, his wife, and two children; the mate, named William Hopkinson and a young woman and a boy, who were going to Lincoln. Another vessel was near at hand when the Charlotte capsized, but no assistance eould'be rendered to any of the persons on board the unfortunate sloop. REPRESENTATION OF PEMBROKESHIRE.—III conse quence of the elevation of Viscount Emlyn to the Upper House, Mr. G. Lort Phillips, of Lawrennv Park, has issued the following straightforward and practical address, soliciting the suffrages of the electors :—" A vacancy having occurred in the representation of this county by the lamented decease of the Earl of Cawdor, and the consequent elevation of the Viscount Emlyn to the House of Lords, I venture to offer myself as a candidate for the vacant seat, and to solicit your suffrages. having always entertained Conservative principles I shall continue to be guided by them. If I should have the honour of being elected your representa tive I would support all measures likely to be conducive to the general good of the country, and I would not oppose any improvements which a change of circum stances may require. I would support any government in keeping up a strong force in the country by sea and land, and in giving full encouragement to the volunteer movement, as I am convinced that the best way of ensuring peace is to be prepared for war. If you should do me the honour of electing me as your representative, I would carefully watch over the interests of this ceunty, and no efforts on my part should be wanting to merit the confidence you may place in me." Tun FOREIGN COURTS.—The Archduke Maximilian and the Princess Charlotte have arrived at Vienna, from Trieste. —The King of the Belgians is now nearly recovered from the violent cold from which he has been for some time suffering.—The King of Hanover has sent Colonel Von Geyso and Lieutenants Prince Von Solms and Von Beck to St. Pertersburg, to attend the funeral of the Empress Dowager.—The Princess of Prussia had made arrangements to return to Berlin at the end of last week, but the Empress of Austria being expected at Coblentz, where H.R.H. is residing, the Princess will wait, it is believed, to receive her Majesty. The report the King and Queen of Holland were about to visit the Emperor at Compiegne, is unfounded; 'but the Prince of Orange, heir apparent to the Dutch Crown, is said to be expected there. The Berlin journals state that MM. Friedeberg, of that city, jewellers to the Russian Court, have executed a medal commemorative of the death of the Empress Dowager, and similar to one which they coined on the occasion of the death of of the Emperor Nicholas, in 1855. The medal, which is in gold and silver, is designed by Professor Fischer, and b ears on one side the effigy of the Empress, and on the other the Byzantine cross, with the date Ist Nov., 1860.—The Precurseur of Antwerp says: "We are informed, on good authority, that the Empress of Austria is to arrive on the afternoon of the 21st, at the Hotel St. Antoine, in this city, where apartments have already been taken for her Majesty and suite, the latter consisting of 50 persons, among whom are the Princess Windischgraetz and the Princess deTour et Taxis. Her Imperial .Majesty is to remain one or two days at Antwerp, and then to embark in the Osborne direct for Madeira." Other accounts froM Vienna state that the Empress of Austria had been attacked by' pulmonary, hemorrhage, and that her Majesty bad, in consequence, become so much worse that the projected departure for the Island of Madeira is likely to be postponed. A letter from Copenhagen, 12th inst., says :—" The King came the day before yesterday into this city to visit the Landgrave William of Hesse, who celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his marriage with Princess Char lotte, his Majesty's aunt. On this occasion there were great rejoicings at Court. The King attended a dinner offered by Prince Frederick of Hesse, and a ball given by Prince Ferdinand, at which 800 persons were present. At the ball his Majesty wore a Swedish uniform, and remained until two o'clock. Yesterday the King, after attending a Cabinet Council, returned to Jrcgerspriis. His Majesty has nominated the Landgrave of Hesse Commander of the Order of Daneburg, an honotir rarely given. The Landgrave was born in 1787, and the Princess, his wife, in 1789 ; but both, notwithstanding, their great age, enjoy excellent health."

IMPROVEMENT IN GENTLEMEN'S HATS. TITIIEBARN-STREET, LIVERPOOL. GENTLEMEN,—I have given your Patent Eas'y-fitting Hat a fair trial, and I must say it is the most comfortable hat I ever wore,•particularly when crossing the water in a windy day, when with the old style of hat I invariably had a headache, which with your new style is not the case. I can, therefore, safely recommend it to any one, particularly to those subject to headache.—l am, gentlemen, yours truly.A I have worn for some time one of the Patented Easy-fitting Hats sold by Mr. -, and I can testify to the advantage derived from the absence of that unpleasant pressure, particu larly on the forehead, usually felt from the hats generally worn. -- House, Cheltenham. (Signed) - This letter is from a first-rate English admiral. The name is not given for obvious reasons. NOTICE.—Five Pounds Reward upon conviction of an in fringement of my Patent. Simpson's Patent Easy-fitting Hats are on.y had in Liverpool at No. 6, St. George's-crescent (two doors from the top of Lord-street), and at 9, Dale-street (opposite Royal Bank Buildings), and in upwards of one hundred other towns, a list of which would make this advertisement too long. The Agents in each place make themselves known. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.—Blotches, pimples, d eruptions, c.e.s.kin soon pas,s away before the action of this extraordinary Ointment, win= produce's its enecis with a rapidity and certainty never experienced in the case of any other medicine in the world. Many of the ordinary eruptions are caused by suppressed perspiration, and as this penetrating unguent at once opens the pores and invigorates the absorbents, it disperses the inflammation by a double process. Any lady who is disfigured by cutaneous diseases may quickly remove the blemishes and restore the skin to its natural state. It. requires no skill to use it right, and all that is required is that its hould be well rubbed into the parts affected. NEW IsvENTros.—TnE NEW ForsTAIN PEN.—A greater annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with—the difficulty is to get a good one. 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 nriting nib, and this barrel can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feature 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 indeed 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. Our readers have only to send their address to D. T.

CONSUDIFTION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCIIITIS CIMADLL. —" I believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas hill, Liverpool,) will prove of more value, in cases of bron chitis and incipient consumption, than any other remedy extant. It relieves the most irritating cough ma fete miente4 ; and, although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces sound and refreshiny sleep, soothes the nervous system, and restores the healthy action of the lungs."

The following is from Dr. Brett, the eminent chemist :—" I consider the balsam of hore hound and aniseed, as prepared by Mr. Martin, an elegant and efficient cough remedy, and I fully agree with Sir Alexan der Tralles and Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson, that, in conjunc tion with cod liver oil, it is an admirable remedy for con sumption and delicate constitutions."— R. 11.
