part of that Power is much nearer at hand than is generally believed. This seems the more cer tain, as Austria and every man who possesses a grain of sense must be convinced that it is the fixed determination of Garibaldi and Cavour to organise their forces with the utmost alacrity during the winter months, in order to be in a position to meet their enemy at the beginning of next spring. The temptation to attack Piedmont • in her present position seems to be so irresistible • that I am induced to believe that any , morning may bring the news 'that the Austrians have ;crossed the Po,' In this opinion .1 am strength.; cnedsby the article's of the Gazette' of the :Exchonge of Berlin and the Yaterland, which: declare the Situation of Austria to be too critical, and the dangers which are rapidly 'gathering around her too great, to give Piedmont the advantage of time till the ensuing spring, and that she only waits an encouraging word from _ Warsaw to again unsheath her sword and cry tortitirts. We shall soon see if this encouraging word has been gi*eiti or that Russia and Prussia have only promised to assist Austria iii the event of her being attacked by Piedniont: Let. us iii a tow. Words eliamine how far this assistance would be available or practicable next spring. The present army of Piedmont according to a recent official report of the Minister of. War, amounted' to 183,000 men, comprising non- , Commissioned officers and 7,000 commissioned, officers. Lbelieve this report was. June.uousiiesi last _ tnere has been a new levy of conscripts, which have augmented this force about 20,000, comprising volunteers, &c., thus' Inaking total effective force of 220 , 000 men.; 'This army is now spread over every part of Italy, the greatest numbers being those concentrated on this side of the Mincio and along the line from Piacenza to Bologna, These, eerps observation: are presumed to lie not more than from 100,000 to 120,040 men. Cialdids:division now advance ing towards Capua is about 18,000; General Itocca's division also advancing by another road ir, order to surround the fortresses and out off all communication, is about 12,000 ; and that of General Fanti's about 12,000 or 15,000, which is distributed in the Pontifical and Neapolitan States ; in all about 45,000, which with ! these concentrated' on the*. Witeht ittia ikoilld be about 165,000 'heti: This , *Mild leatte about 80;000 iiiiis - 4ets tor tile protection .of the other iotarts of Italy. The ,Present naval force of Pied nithit,iipen a rough calculation, is not more than 60 or 70 vessels; including, gan i -lioata, &c ! ;—the largest being frigates pot, carrying More than 30 or 60,guns: I believe #i tit till these vessels could Pe got ,ree.cl47 . for iintiiediate service in less than fteen days. If we take into consideration the . yresent posit;:i - in of affairs in Italy, it would be almost impossible. for Victor Emmanuel to concentrate a much larger force than , is at the present moment' watching the movements of the Austrians, and which is comparatively small in number, compared to the organisedand splendidly disciplined legions that Austria could bring against the Piedmontese. Let its suppose that an attack should be Made at the present monient,—in such a ease s theit *Mot be the slightest doubt that Austria Weald be able to tale Modena, Piacenza, Ferrara, and -Solbeila before fresh troops could arrive to turn the advantage against her. Nor is it improbable that another corps of the Austrian army would March on to Milan. The above is given merely to show the great advantages Austria would have in attacking -the Piedmontese forces in their Present numbers, and the superiority of her Position in being able to concentrate all her forces in one point. lut, should Austria give Piedmont • time till next spring, which is the evident genie of Louis Napoleon in proposing a emigress,,the real object being to' gain time for Piedmont, then theposition of Piednient WOfild aSsiiiiie a +eft different The ttreSetit tOieet4 flow Marching itgaitiat tioio Royalists are more than' auffieient when united to the Garibaldians to take both Capua and Gaeta ; then further resistance in of the NP-- -I ' 4,- - ' - • •••• E PUIILLLII states would be impossible, mod, is a matter of course,, the greater portion of the *onld fall into the hands of the Piedmontese gefierals; aiid.lib inborpar,atkd in the different regiments of the Sardinian army, tiB, they are body doing with all the prisoners taken iil the late engagements. This would ] increase Victor Emmanuel's army not less than . 1 30 or 60,000 men. In the month of January there , Will be another levy, which will give a further increase of forces of 40,000 conscripts. Add to this number 20,000 Garibaldians. now in the Neapolitan states, and at least 10,000 other volun teers throughout the kingdom, as well as from other countries, and 40 battalions of the National Guard, would -amount to 24,000 men, without : Calculating any, extraordinary lei7y; or more than SO or 60,000 men of the Neapolitan .artily. Pied- Mont, in the month of Igarch or Api.ll of next Year, would find.herself at the head of an army of not less then 380 ; 000. During the winter she Would be, able man the vessels of the Neapolitan hey that are now without crews, and, at the same period, Piedmont would be able to prepare a fleet of 130 vessels, several (late Neapolitan vessels) carrying . as Many as 90 guns.

Let us also suppose that Russia and Prussia assisted Austria 'with all their forces, France would then assist Piedmont in the equipage of the whole of her navy, which would number dot less than 230 vessels. This forte added to the immense fleet of .would Make the aboVe PoNyers,.think twice before engaging in hostilities With France and Piedmont. . The land forces would even be still greater; If Piedmont can keep alive the enthusiasiii of the people till next spring, and Sliotild such an event take place as I have just described, she would be able to raise a force of not less than 430,000 men. and calculating 80,000 for internal order, would leave at her disposition a. force of 350,000 . f0r active service. This army, united to what the. Emperor of the French could raise, would make the number swell into the enormous military force of 900,000 men. Ido not think that I have exaggerated these figures or calculations, which will give to your readers a tolerable idea of the united forces, of France and Piedmont. I must here break off this subject, to resume the same in my next letter, having only time to say that Cialdini met a corps of the Royal ists half way between Teano and Sessa. After two hours' sharp firing, the Royalists fell back Upon Garigliano, towards which place Cialdini is now advancing.. The same Piedmoritese general has just issued an order as brutal and ferocious as was ever committed by the worst of the Austrian generals, ordering that every peasant found in the possession of arms, or in any way offering the slightest impediment to the advan- Cing usurping artily of Piedmont, shall be shot on the spot: , ilre o Piedmontese liberty and huma wtlri he king .is following close behind .aaldini, and on the 27th was at Teano. To-day it is probable that the result of the votation of the city of Naples will be published, and Vittorio Emmanuel will enter either to-morrow or the day after. Here we are already making the prepa rations for the same illumination that we have had at least a dozen times within the last sixteen months, the present being in honour of the annexation.of the Two Sicilies. The state of our Bourse is almost the same as last week. One day there is a slight disposition of improvement and activity among buyers and sellers, but this is again deitroyed on the follow ing day by fresh symptons of further political complications. This ebbing and flowing of our exchange is not so much to be attributed to passing events as it is to the great uncertainty that sur rounds the future settlement of the present com plications.

TURIN, Oct. 29, 1860. Some important changes in the Customs duties and regulations have just been made, and the line of the .Douane, between the Abruzzi, the " Marches, and Umbria has been abolished. All prrivals, by sea are treated as coming under the Coasting trade. On and after Monday (this day) Ile* postal lines are established between Genoa, Naples, and Palermo. There will be five de partures a week. The pro-Dictator, Mordini, did a vey odd thing before he gave up his office. Among a number of appointments which he made after the cominti of the Marquis of Moriteietilolo was announced, figures one in favour of hiniself as General of the Carbiniers. The ambassador of Francis 11. at Turin, Baron Winspeare, quitted his post at.the instant that the Piedmontese troops disembarked .at Naples. He left M. de Mortino behind him, to wind up the affairs of the legation ; but he also has left, and retired to Gaeta; • The last act of the Neapolitan drama will be the siege of Gaeta. But before entering Naples, Victor Emmanuel will haVe some battles to fight. His army, by taking that of Francis 11. in the rear, will infallibly cut in two the royalist line's, between Capua and, Gaeta. The following are the measures; aecordirig to a letter from the camp, which are to be adopted for the iiiyestnient of Gaeta : General de la Rocca, descending towards the mouths of the VoltUrno. will occupy the ettreme left. Cialdini and Garibaldi, ,forming the centre in the positions be tween the Volttirho and the Garigliano, will baie their headquarters at San GetniatiO., By Means of tlie Bridge of Cori() they will maintain their communications with the division of General de Sonnez, who will have his headquarters at Fonti, to the north of Gaeta. These corps will draw round 'Gaeta, which will be t h e Sebas topol of the campaign. 'The "2. Mila .. n announces that the n a n: or artillery which was dispatched from 'Ancona by the Tanaro and the Dora, will be • disembarked at the mouth of the Garigliano, along with four companies of artillery, under the Orders of Major Mattel. The transpritts having sailed on the 20th, they must, by this time, haVe passed the channel, and the guns will arrive in time to be tised in the attack of. the ifiticg. The snecessfiil tesiilt of the siege of Aticotia hits given great hopes of a similar result at Gaeta. Some most powerful projectiles have been tried in the Adriatic, and there i§ a number of rifled cannon which. Will, it is said, batter down the strongest walls in a few hours. Gaeta has become a fortress of the first-class. Its name is said to be derived from " Gayeta," the nurse of Eneas, as is mentioned by Virgil, in the Ist verse of the. 7th Pneid; Ontsttneted ,at the eitietiii4; ,cir it an promontory, was ed bythe sea on three sides; and commanding: .the isthmus, which unites it to the main land; it is defended by regular works, having three tiers of batteries. It was .Ferdinand. V. who :set about, with that obstinaCY hhiCh was the fqundation of his characteil eonstrneting all these new works. The French corps d'arm4e, in garrison at It was the cause of so much apprehension to him, that, in order to hasten the erection of the works, he promised liberty, or a commutation of their sentence, to the convicts, whom he caused to labour at them unceasingly. He was also par ticulatly careful to render impassable the road leading from Rome across the mountain, and in this, it was understood, he was most successful. TATE,ST `I PI (Ili BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) VRANdEL The Herald's Paris correspondent says the Government has contracted with private ship builders for the immediate construction of 150 iron cased steam gunboats, to mount a single rifle gun in the.bows, and be of small draught of water.

THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, Nov. 2, 3 35 p.m. The Bourse has been firm and animated. The last quotation of Rentes was 69 35, or or 10c. higher than on Wednesday. TAE \VAIiSAW CONFERENCES: The correspondent of the Times at Vienna supplies information as to what passed at the conferences. The monarchs and their ministers had several' interviews, but they did little more than exchange opinion§ concerning the state of MiroPe: A programme , Of some kind or other was draliri itp, biit ;as lint signed, because the sovereigns arid their ministers could not come to an understanding on several matters of importance.. , Prince Gortschakoff failed to convince the Prussian and Austrian statesmen that it would be advantageous to, all parties if the treaty of March 1856 were subjected to a revision. Russia is e±ceedingly desirous of regaining her position on the banubei and to do away with the neutrality of the Black Sea. It is related that Prince Gortschakoff and Count Rechberg had an altercation at their very first interview. THE FRENCH INTERVENTION AT, GAETA. None of the French journals offers any explana- tion of the French intervention at Gaeta. They publish, without comment, the original news, as it appeared in the Daily News. REPORTED DEFEAT OF THE PIEDMON TESE BY THE NEAPOLITANS. A Gaeta letter of October 27th claims a great victory over Cialdini ; and asserts that the Pied montese lost at the battle of Garigliano five guns. 300 prisoners were taken, and 2,000 killed and wounded ; while the Neapolitans had but 22 men wounded, and only 1 man killed. TURIN, Nov. 2. It is officially announced that the news pub lished in a message dated Rome, October 30, to the effect that General Cialdini had been beaten by the Neapolitans is completely false. An attack has been made on Capua : the garrison have sent convoys to the Sardinian camp, to negotiate for the surrender of the town. THE DUKE DE GRAMMONT AND GEN. LAMORICIERE. The Paris correspondent of the Globe says that the Duke de Grammont has insisted on the official journal of Rome rectifying the misstate ments as to French assurances that nothing was to be apprehended from King Victor's army, which Lamoriciere had reiterated in its columns. THE IRISH BRIGADE. CoRK, Nov. 1. The 'Cork Examiner says a steamer, with 960 of .the Brigade, left Havre at 3 p.m. yesterday, and is expected to arrive in Cork some time to night or early to-morrow morning. The men will be brought up to Cork by a small steamer chartered by the committee, and will proceed homewards by a special train. If they do not arrive in sufficient time to be sent forward at an early hour, they will be detained for the night, and sent forward next day. In consequence of the whole number arriving together, the idea of entertaining the Brigade at a public soiree had to be given up, there being no room in Cork large enough for the purpose. Ample arrangements have been made for supplying the men with food and clothes. Mr. Maguire, M.P., chairman of the local committee, and Mr. A. J. Sullivan ; as repre sentative of the Dublin central committee, will proceed to Queenstown to await the arrival of the Brigade. THE CAPTURE OF , THE TAKU FORTS. FURTHER PARTICULARS.

Neven Moore, Esq., Consul-General in Syria, and James Brant, Esq., Consul at Damascus, are appointed Companions of the Bath, third class, Civil Division. The Queen has approved of.

The fdlidi+iliei diSpedrect our rater edition's or yesterday !---a THE CHNESE WAR. The China telegrams received in the city yes terday, via Trieste, were few and meagre. They state that an early submission, on the part of the Imperial Court, was expected. The Times trusts the 'telegram has brought false.news, and that Lord Elgin Is not going to Pekin wlthotir. his array, as that is exactly the aposite Of Whitt he do to obtain a per nent pease .. ith China; Nothing more is necessary than that Pekin ,sil t odld lino*. that England has an arm long enough to' rata. her; and to chastise any breach of faith. So long as the Emperor believes his capital to be out of reach, so long will he care little what treaties he may sign to remove any immediate pressure. Now what is going to happen. News that the Tartar army has marched forthwith in triumph from the southern parts is already spread far and wide through the streets of Pekin. It is doubt leis added the garhurians have made their sub mission, arid that theSe are all coming an to bring tribute to 'the Emperor. this, o't .6ertainty nothing better than this, is the impression which Lord Elgin, with his escort of cavalry, will pror duce at Pekin. The Emperor cannot make important concession to a people whom he pre tends to have overcome in arms, and whose ambassadors he has exhibited to his people as bearing tribute and submission., The Times hopes, therefore, that the ambassadors, with the magnificent army which they have at their com mandi will make their appearance at Pekin, accontanieci by a force sufficient to make such an impression on the Imperial mind as to render any Chinese expeditions unnecessary for many years to come. The rate of exchange, both at Hong Kong and Shanghai, had . become rather more favourable for this country, a decline having taken place. The derriand for shirtings was very dull at Shanghai and brisk at Banton, and the settlements of silk anlounted to 8,000 bales. Portions of the wreck have been discovered of the four missing steamers lost in the Baltic. The Times is still without any comments on the French intervention at Gaeta. The Paris journals have not yet adverted to the subject. A Naples letter of the 27th ult. says that next day Gavazzi was to preach his first sermon in the principal church of the Jesuits. M. Szeme, who has expressed in the Paris journals a favourable opinion of the new Hungarian constitution, was formerly Minister of the Interior under Kossuth. General Klapka has protested against this opinion. THE FOUR MISSING STEAMERS. DISCOVERY OF PORTIONS OF THE WRECKS No doubt is now entertained respecting the melan choly fate of the four steamers which have long been missing, namely, the Edinburgh iron screw steamer, 800 tons, belonging to Leith, outward bound to Cronstadt ; the Moscow, also an iron screw steamer, 600 tons, of London, bound to the same port; the Vispount Lambton, steamer, belonging to Sunderland ; and the Thor, from Copenhagen, for Hull. It will be remembered they started a day or two prior to the outbreak of the ter rible storm which swept the North Sea and Baltic on the 3rd, 4th, sth, and 6th of October, when so many vessels were wrecked. With the exception of the Moscow, nothing has been heard of them from the period of their sailing, and from quantities of wreckage and cotton that have been met with in the North Sea, it is inferred that the whole of the ships in question must have foundered during the fearful hurricane, and every soul belonging to them met with a watery grave. The Edinburgh was a superior class iron ship, being rated in Lloyds's Re gister A 1 for 12 years. Her crew consisted of Capt. Steel and 27 officers and men. Like the Arctic steamer, which was lost in the course of thg storm, she was bur dened with a dangerous deck load at this advanced period of the season, namely, two steam boilers and nearly 500 bales of cotton piled in tiers fore 'and aft. She carried out four passengers for St. Petersburg ; among them was Dr. M‘lienzie, his wife, and several children. It is believed that there are twenty-four widows and nearly sixty children bereaved by the deplorable loss of this ship: The wreckage seen sup posed to be part of the steamer consisted of cabin furni ture, panels, &c., and a board with the letter H on it, painted blue and gold. It was passed in lat. 65 N , long. 30 E., together with a large quantity of cotton bales: The owners of the Edinburgh believe the wreckage to have belonged to that vessel. Respecting the Moscow a quantity of wreck and bales of goods, known to have formed part of her cargo, have been washed ashore on the coast of Finland. • Amon.. ' the wreckage was some baggage belonging to one of the 'cabin passengers, of whom there were six on board. The bales of cotton are in the possession of Captain Boulton, of Lloyd's Association, who was sent out to Jutland to protect the underwriters' interest in the wreck of the Arctic steamer. At first the cotton was supposed to have belonged to that vessel, the Arctic, but when closely inspected it was discovered they bore the brands of the Moscow. It is somewhat remarkable that the Moscow and Arctic, which were both from one , port, Grimsby, sailed at the same time for St. Peters burg. The Moscow kept company with the Arctic, on the passage across the North Sea, until within a few hours of the wreck of the Arctic, when the master of the latter lost sight of her, and that was the last time she was seen. She, like the Edinburgh, had an immense deck cargo, consisting chiefly of cotton bales, piled the whole length of the deck, and which is the main reason assigned for her loss. That she was one of the two steamers seen to founder near the Shaw, on the Danish coast, there appears to be very little doubt. Her crew numbered about 25 hands, most of whom were married men and have left families unprotected. Other wreckage has been washed ashore on the east coast of Jutland, evidently from the other missing steamers, the Thor and Viscount Lambton. The Board of Trade having ordered an inquiry into the loss of the Arctic steamer, the whole question of steamers being allowed to carry heavy deck cargoes when bad weather must it be experienced is to be fully gone int o, and which, is expected, will terminate in some recommendation to the Government to pass an enactment pro hibiting deck loads at the period above mentioned as being dangerous to life and property. It is on record that a great many vessels have been lost, with their crews, in consequence of car rying heavy deck loads. It is computed that , the loss of these fine steamers and cargoes will exceed £150,000, RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An accident of a serious nature occurred on the Hereford line of railway on Tuesday evening last, at about half-past five, by which several persons were injured, some of them severely. The pas senger train which left Newport at three, p.m. , s oon after leaving the Ludlow station came into collision with portion of a preceding goods train, which had b e come detached, and remained on the line. In conse quence of the dense fog which prevailed, and the short ness of the time, the danger signals could not be com municated in time to prevent the collision. The driver and fireman escaped by jumping from the train ; one of the waggons was smashed to pieces. ®NEW PATENTS.—The following patents have been granted during the week ending October 26, 1860 : James White, George White, and John White, all of Hulme—" An improvement or improvements in machinery .for pressing and cutting tobacco or other substances." c e or n s ' Icr p ry Sason, of Jersey—" A machine orenthSamsun,e cultivation of the soil."

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT AGAINST AN INSURANCE AOENT, David Evans, a reniectable looking person, dhnt fifty years of age, was brought up on remand, charged with having embezzled certain sums of money belonging to the " Prudential Insurance Association" of London. Mr. Aspinall, barrister, instructed by Mr. Palgrave, sppeated for the association, and Mr. Deighton, instifteied mt. Cobb, for the prisoner. Mr. Aspinall said he appVared for the Association, which had an extended business, WI Which to other branches of insurance had added ari industrial department, for the benefit of the humbler and working classes, and which was carried out as originally intended, and was of con siderable advantage and benefit to the poorer classes of society. The company has an extensive business in Liverpool, and has an income of over £3,000 a year out of it, which would show the extent of the business done in this town. They had a number of persons to represent them here, in consequence of the nature of the business, as parties had to go out and collect, and amongst these was the prisoner, Mr. David Evans. His accounts, it would appear, were kept with great irregularity, and on something coming to the knowledge of the society la London, it assumed the shape of an embezzlement, and the company were fully justified in adopting the course they did. There were a variety of small accounts to be investigated, and although the whole was not a large amount, yet, for the benefit of the parties insured, it was of the utmost consequence to hate all the accounts kept in the most correct, manner. The prisoner had given assurance that on a proper investigation there was no fraud, bat he admitted that there was much irregu larity in his books, and in consequence of that the society had agreed to go into the accounts, as the pri soner strongly asserts he would be able to account for, and explain all to the satisfaction of the company. This offer was accepted, and that further litigation should cease :at both sides; 90 therefore the company would withdraw the charge. Mr. Deighton said his client admitted great irregu larity in the way he had kept his accounts, but he denied, in the strongest terms, any dishonest intention. He was bound to account far the property to the com pany; and if on investigation anything was found due to that body; he would pay it over to them. He (Mr. D) must, however, again say that his client dis tinctly denied anything dishonest being intended on his part, although he admitted the irregularity. Mr. Aspinall said it was of the gr eatest i m portance that the agents of the association should keep strictly accurate accounts, not only for the benefit of the com pany itself, but for the parties insured, so as not to have any dispute in case of claims. The prisoner was then discharged. ROBBERY AT THE WHITE BEAR " HOTEL, DALE-STREET.-CAPTURE OF A FOREIGN THIEF. Paul Haunch, a German, about twenty-seven years of age, was charged for having stolen two gold watches and' chains, value about £5O, from Mr. Rowell's "White Bear" Hotel, Dale street. Police-officer 658 said —This morning, about four o'clock, I met the prisoner in Dale street, coming as if from the Exehange, and his manner attracted my attention as a suspicious person. I o bserved he h a d som ething behind his back, and asked him what it wa s . He replied it was a box. I saw it was a cash box, and he said it belonged to his master, who had an office in Chapel-street, and lived in Duke-stree t. I was not satisfied with this, and as he put his hand into his pocket I asked him what be had there, and he replied a glove, and attempted to put it into his other hand, when I caught it mid found this gold watch and chain in the glove. I then took him to the office and searched him, and got this gold watch and chain in another glove. He said this one belonged to himself, and that he bought it in London for £26, and the other was the prope r ty of his master. I locked him up and went to 22 , Duke-street, where he said his master lived, but there was no such person to be found there. I went to a German lodging-house in Bent-street, where the prisoner said he lodged, but they knew nothing of him there, as they said he was only four or five days in the place. I subsequently discovered that the watches and box. were stolen from Mr. Rowell's, White Bear, Dale street. Mr. Raffies—How far is the hotel from where you arrested the prisoner ? About 150 yards. Mr. Rowell was then sworn, and said, I went to bed last night at from twelve to half-past, seeing, as usual, the place all made up safe. The prisoner was not staying at the hotel. I left all right at night, and found all so below this morning, except the smoking-room window, which looks into Hockenall-alley. About half-past six Mrs. Rowell awoke, and finding the curtai n of the bed drawn close which ' had not been so when we went to bed, she said there must have been some one in the room. lat once got up and discovered that two gold watches had been, taken from the table, and a box (now produced) that was left in our care by Captain Dove. I found that the key of the bar had been taken from the bedroom, and the person who was there must have been concealed in a room, for we • found some small wax tapers burnt there. The shutter of the smoking-room window es was opened and the person must have got out that way. Mr. Raffi—ls it on the ground-floor ? Yes ; and had only to slip the bar off it, and raise it up to get out. We then sent out for the police, and the officer came with the watches and box. Mr. Rafiles—Was the prisoner seen in your house before? Mr. Rowell—Yes; one of the servants observed him there on Wednesday going up the stairs, and he says himself he wa Inhere on W M ednesdaffl ay. es, the The watches are worth £5O. reply to r. R prisoner told some sort of story about a girl, but no one comprehended it. His Worship sent the prisoner for trial. Mr. Rowell said he thought the police-officer entitled to much credit for what he had done. Mr. Raffies said—l think he does, great credit, for he has discharged his duty very well. The prisoner was fully committed for trial at the assizes COMPTON* HOUSE AND THE BREWER'S DRAY; Yesterday a rather strange scene took place in Leigh street, not a hundred yards from the office of the Daily Times; and although no lives were lost, it will become a question for magisterial inquiry, as, so we are informed, a special information has been, or will be, placed before the Watch Committee. That committee (the Watch) transact all their business in private. The reporters for the press are not admitted to their deliberations. There fore what will become of the official report, as rendered by Police-constable 645, it is impossible to sty, if it should not be brought officially before the police magis trates. But the simple facts are these :—Yesterday morning a brewer's dray, the driver of which is a Robert Park, and the dray belonged to an eminent brewing firm in this town, was standing in Leigh-street, opposite the back premises belonging to Messrs. Jeffery and Morrish, where—we de not know how true it is—the man stated that he was delivering barrels or casks of ale, of course for the use of the establishment, but while so engaged, *the horse, a fine animal; became impa tient, and started off. What direction it intended to take is not known, but instea d of g oing either u p Leigh street or taking a turn roun d Basnett-street, which it might have done, it rushed i nto the lobby of the court leading to Mr. J. O. Ewart's office. The horse was nearly on the stairs, but the door-posts prevented the dray from going in, but, as our Yankee cousins would say, the horse and the dray were in a "considerable fix," from which they were relieved by the brewer's drayman (who rushed out of the Comp ton House establi shment , ) and police-constable 64 5 . Fortunatel y no particular damage was done, and we understand that all the ale was afterwards delivered at Compton House by the back I entrance.

On Saturday afternoon last a paperotrthE "Philosophy: of Education" was read at the - llOys` Ifiberniatt - School, Pleasant-street, by Mr. John Jenkins, M.A. " The attendance ofleachers, &c., was pretty good. The chair was occupied by the Rev. Mr. Griffith, Dean of the Liverpool Institute. Mr. Jenkins, we may inform our reacisisi is x gentleman who has spent a life and no inconsiderable; fortune if promoting th e grea t cause o f •. A • education. At thd University he acquired honours, and was Made Barrington lecturer on Political Economy ; he Wont one time Secretary to the Valid Society, and Com- MisSioai on Education. During, the Corn-law League agitation he was tile of its principal supporters in the south of England. In South Wales he is Well known as the; founder of the courts for the reedratit of parliamen tary electors; and of a number of banding societies,; which have proved of incalculable benefit to the /labour ing classes. ldueation, however, has been his principal. hobby. A proformd and accurate thinker, he has, in' conjunction with Sir John Pakington and others, worked diligently and well ; and to him, in an eminent degree, is due the thanks of the. labouring community, for the amelioration In their condition which has taken place • during the last twenty years. The paper on Saturday 'was a masterpiece of thought, and we should not be doing our readers justice did we not concisely reflect his expe riences through the medium of these ectlamns. Well, then, the philosophy of edttation is described as that collection of facts relating to tlicitincl—Tartieularly the infant mind—the mode or conditions of the operation of its powers, their relation to each other s and the order of their development, forming a set of principles which the teacher might apply to all cases, in the work of education. Every constituent of a school curriculum OuS be capable of having its definite result assiglied 6:it in deVeroping, strengthening, Or modifying some special faCiiltY of the mind; and the laws of thought would become` beacon lights, by which the atmosphere of the school would be irradiated, avd to which the practical educationist *mild lobk for guidance whenever new methods of instruction enforced their claims to trial. Does the present state of mental science fulfil these conditions ? This question is answered by the fact that there is in existence no system of education, baa Oh' it given system of mental philosophy ; and in the practied arraugemmits of education, there is no reference made eithV at- to the subject matter of what is taught or methods of itairuttief in mental science be yond an indirect recognition of *bit* .tery obvious order of phenomena—those of memory, the' reasoning powers, and to some extent, imagination—and this ICir. Jenkins illustrates-by referring to the old methods of classical study, when it.was the custom to burden the memory with numberless forms and rules of grammar embodied in the larigtiage which the pupil was about to learn. The study of the Greek and the Latin bad its origin in other sources than a< regard to . their undoubted educational value in developing certain phWers of the' mind, they were looked upon as rich depositotiea - of learning, and from their connection with divinity, law, diplotthey, and mai 'cine, they becamethe only entrances to tfroserearned pro 'fessions. Afterwards they were retained for the imprefe- Merit of taste ; and in the controversies on the sub ject in' rate years their advocates assigned reasons for retaining hum' as a feature in education alto gether extrinsic of t 1 4`r ' educational 'value. Th& fact that in the preseUi-Say a large and. intelli gent body of educationists ad.i.Oiate their expulsion from .the school curriculum in favour of the modern languages, and the disparity in the methods phi-sued at our two leading Universities, Oxford and Cambridge- , -:; . , the one, till recently, excluding the classics in favour of mathematics, and the other mathematics in favour of th e classics-4elciently prov& that we are far from arriving at fixed principles applicable to instruction. The object of the paper Was to find out these defects, 'anti the means for their removal. The mental philosophers of the last century - have - directed attention to the grokiping together of the mental phenomena, and the resolution of the more complex order of manifestations to their simplest forms. In doing so; they com pared the phenomena; in their own minds• with the phenoMena in, other Mies. By thii ineans correct conclusions cannot be deduced, because the phenomena, i.e., the powers of the mfcnY in4amhination and action frequently exhibit results wholly different from what these powers, acting independently of each other, would bring about ; and reference is made to' Gall's theory of the human mind—that the general con ditions ranked as faculties are neither - original powers nor common modes of action, but the concurrence of different mental operations. An illustration is afforded by a boy analysing a difficult sentence : and here there are several mental processes in operation—the sensa tions and correspondent perceptions of the several letters, their recognition as representatives of certain sounds :. a case of memory; the aid of the will to join the letters into a word, constituting a second automatic action ; the word suggesting the ide : a case of association assimilating the word with the grammatical class or part of speech under which it is arranged, implying com parison of grammatical . properties : judgment and memory. These processes are performed instantaneously, and they have to be performed on each word successively, with the addition of the memory, or combination of the faculties necessary to keep up the continuity of the train of thought from word to word, to the end of the sentence. This is not all. The mind has to grope its way to a dis covery—compare the suggested trains of thought—pro nounce judgment on their agreement or disagreement, &c. The phenomena on which the classifications called faculties are based, are facts observed without all the conditions necessary to bring them, into connection with that which actually takes place in the educational process. The conclusion arrived at is that the basis of the formation of a philosophy of education should be laid in.the observation of the manifestations of the mind, as evolved in the actual processes of the . various branches of education, reversing the method generally pursued in mental philosophy —observing the phenomena in the minds of others not in our own. We should have recourse to classification thus arranged :-1. The mental manifestations engaged in the various uses of language, or the phenomenon of expression. 2. The phenomenon of observation, being the properties of objects as perceived externally in ourselves and in society. 3. The emotions of taste. 4. The applica tion of thought to action or practice. Mr. Jenkins then enumerates: or classifies the studies or instruments by which the phenomena are evolved. In conclusion he suggested that registers should be kept'by every teacher, in which should be recorded the results of his observa tion of the minds under his care at every stage. After a short discussion, a vote of thanks, proposed by Mr. Rathbone; brought' the proceedings to a close. — Communicated.' THE. BOROUGH SESSIONS, YESTERDAY. (Before the Recorder, G. HENDERSON, Esq.) THE CORPORATION OF LIVERPOOL v. THE CLERK OF TAE PEACE FOR Tun BOROEGII.—The learned recorder proceeded to give judgment in this case. It was argued a f e w days since, a report of which appeared in the Daily Times. Thesfirst question' raised was as to the f ees charged for thZ` certificate of previous convictions. In explaining this point, the recorder referred to the 78 Geo. IV., c. 28, sec. 11, by which the question was abrogated ; but by the 124th sec. of the Municipal Corpo ration Act, the recorder had the pow& of dealing with i t t a , bl a e nd nf b fe y es t , ha n t f se n c h t a i r o gn section the for clerk previous erkha the nn hep n or t r i , nn by ss. ythe ; but he had charged 6s. Bd., and he. (the recorde rr r) thought that it should b e re d uced to ss. Wi t h reard to the second question; he thought the Clerk of the Peace .was entitled to the fee of 78. for each prisoner when !entered on the indictment; but he did not think that. when two or more prisoners were named in one indictment, unless they were convicted, that the fee of 7s. should be paid for each prisoner. The next question was as to the fees for the depositions. In this he decided that the Clerk of the Peace was entitled to the fee for filing the depositions of the proiecutor, but' not . for each witness, as the depositions in each case were not detached, but formed one document when delivered to the Clerk of the' Peace ; and however numerous the witnesses might he, the document was headed the examinations of C. D. or E. F. as the case might be, and formed one point, and therefore no fee was to he paid after the first. He next dwelt upon the fee for filing recognisances and the notice to discharge recog nisances ; and from the wording of the act it was required that every recognisance should be discharged ; but he apprehended that such was not the case, for there were circumstances in which the recognisances might be forfeited by persons not being forthcoming , and therefore were not entitled to be discharged from their recognisances. He was free to admit that there might be a diversity of opinion on this point ; but in his opinion no fee was requisite except in such cases as those in which it was requ i s i te an d necessar y thit the recognis ances should be actually discharged. In ordinary cases the recognisances become ipso -facts null and void, but in cases as they generally occ u rr ed, no difficulty would arise; for if the recognizancies were not forfeited, no risk • could actu a lly occur . The learned recordernd explained this poi n t w ith cons id er able minuteness, and said that' he thought that the fees for the discharging of the recognizances must be disallowed. With regard to the fee for the fili ng , o f the recogn i zanc es of the prosecutors and witnesses, he thought that the cha f rg r e n ef 2s. should be reduced to Is.

IMPORTANT TRIAL OF A NEW WATER POWER APPARATUS. Yesterday afternoon a number of gentlemen, including the representatives of the local press, the Shipping Gazette, the London Times, Mr. Jordan, surveyor for the underwriters, a surveyor from Lloyd's, and ether scientific gentlemen, assembled on board the flat Joseph, 'in the George's Basin, for the purpose of witnessing the trial of a new water-power apparatus, invented and patented by Mr. R:ohert Formby, a Liverpool shipowner. The apparatus is applicable to the working of ships' pumps and winches, and to many other useful purposes. Before detailing the result of the trial, we will give general description of the apparatus. The screw weighs 39lbs, and is 26 inches in diameter. It is formed of two semi-discs placed on a wrought-iron boss, at an angle of 45 degrees to the line of the axis. The semi discs or fans are each made of two pieces of No. 18 sheet iron, rivetted round the circular edge, but left open at the base',. They are affixed to the boss by its wings being passed between the two pieces of sheet iron, of which the fans are made, and bolting them together with screw, beats, and nuts. The fans crux be easily removed, and in the event of their sus taming fin: accide n t, new ones can be substituted in a few minutes. The chain which is attached to the machine is formed of rods made of -a iron, eighteen inches long, and so p o i n t e d t h at i t w i l l not tw i s t lik e an ordinary chain or rope. It is aixty feet in length, and weighs about 751bs. The w e i g h t o f the whole appratus suitable for a ship of 500 to ns i s not mote than between three and four cwt.. and it may be p u t i nto a box about e six feet long by 21,- feet deep and w id e . At the trial yesterday the flat was towed from the basin u p the riverl for a considerable distance against the tide; the steamer was then put about, and the flat towed with th e tid e nearly to the Canada Dock, when she returned to the George's Basin. During this time the steamer went at various rates, from two knots per hour up to full speed. The body of water thrown out by the pumps worked ley the screw was very large. It was the opinion of all who witnessed the experiment that the pumps were worked as fast and more steadily than they would have been by eight men, The general impression produced was certainly favourable, aid there appears to be every likelihood of the apparatus coming into extensive use. The resistance offered by the screw to the ship's progress is very` trifling ; on a voyage to Calcutta, even supposing it to be towed the whole way, it would not lengthen the voyage more than sixteen hours. When it is remem bered, however, that the working of the pumps of a leaky ship knocks up the crew so that full sail cannot be carried, it will easily be seen that, instead of lengthening the voyage, this apparatus will tend very much to' shorten it. The power may be conveyed from the fixed bearing at the stern of the ship up to the pumps in variotts ways; for instance, along the bul warks either inside or outside, or along the deck, as may be considered most convenient to the particular ship in which the apparatus is adopted. The apparatus used at the trial yesterday was made by Messrs. Bathgate and Wilson, of the Canning Foundry. 1 : LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.—YESTERDAY. , . • (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) DESPERATE ASSAULT BY A WOMAN. Bridget Begley, a powerful-looking woman, about fifty years of age, who lives in North-street, was charged under the following' circumstances. John Jones, a barman in Lane's public-house, Manchester-street, said the' prisoner entered the house on Thursday, in a state of intoxication, and wanted drink. He refused to serve her with any, when she created a disturbance. He went to put her out, and left her outside the door ; she returned, and seized a water bottle that was on the counter, and endeavoured to throw it at him, but she was put out again, but returned, and seizing a glass tumbler that was on the counter, flung it at him, inflicting a' deep cut on his left eye, and another across his nose. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said she was quite sober, and that the complainant was struck by a man aad not by her, but both assertions were disproved by witnesses , His Worship said it was an outrageous assault, and one' that might have injured the young man for life. He fined her £5 or two months' imprisonment. EFFECTS OF THE ELECTIONS! At' unusual number of persons, who came within the circle of what is termed "respectable," were brought up, some charged with being drunk and disorderly, some for being simply " drunk," and others being merely "booked for safety." Curing enough all were taken up about Pembroke , place. The excuse in every case was, that the parties were engaged at the elections on Thursday, and the excitement hail a great effect on them. In cases where the parties had money booked to them, they were fined in sums of from 2s. 6d. to 55., but where the " needful" was not forthcoming, the " un fortunates" were discharged. STEALING FROM A SHIP. Two young men, named John M'Carthy, anal John Esling, were charged with having stolen a quantity of ship stores, from the store-room of the Donald. Mclz,:ny. It appeared that the prisoners had been at work on . board the ship, and that the store-room had been broken open, and the ship keeper caught the prisoners leaving fhe vessel with the property. Mr. Parker, for the prisoners, contended that any one else might have taken the property as well as his clients, although it was got in their possession. His worship not agreeing in this view of the case ' , sent the prisoners (on their pleading guilty, notwithstanding the strenuous effort of their advocate to make them appear innocent) to gaol for three months. CAUTION TO PERSONS DISCHARGING PISTOLS, &c. IN THE STREET. In the case where a boy, named Isaac Sharman, was charged with having discharged a pistol on the day of the procession, and wounding two lads in Shaw's-brow, the boy, was brought up again yesterday, when Mr. Raffles directed Mr. Kehoe to make an order to have every one who was found• discharging arms in the streets brought before him, and he would deal with such persons severely, as the practice was a most dangerous one and must be put a stop to. In the present case the boy was again discharged on recognizance. One of' the injured lads is not yet able to leave the hospital. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A PUBLICAN'S WIFE. Edward Fitzackerly, described as an engineer, in the employment of the London and North Western Railway Company, was charged with having committed a violent assault on Mrs. Walsh, the wife of a publican Ch a t swor th-street, Edge-hill. Mr. Cobb defended. The complainant said on the night of the 18th October, about a quarter or twenty minutes to twelve, I went outside to put up the shutters, when the prisoner came out of the house, where he had been for some time, and asked me to draw him more drink, which I refused to do, and then he struck me a violent blow on the fore head with a cane that he had in his hand, inflicting a serious wound on me, so that I was not able to be out since. Cross-examined by Mr. Cobb. The doctor was with me twice since that time; I did not drink Billy Brown's health that night. Mr. Cobb : What, not drink his health on the opening of the new library ? No, sir. Mr. Cobb : Was there not a regular jollifica tion on the occasion ? Na, there was not. Mr. Cobb : Was your husband drunk ? No. Were you drunk ? Witness (indignantly) : No, I never was drunk in my life, and I think it is a very impertinent question to ask me. Mr. Raffles : But you see there are questions that must be asked when people come here to tell the truth. Do you know the man ? Yes, I saw him before in the house. Mr. Cobb, said he did not deny the lady had been assaulted, but he denied that his client had been the person' who did so. Mr. Walsh was examined, and swore that the prisoner was the man who assaulted his wife. He (Mr. Walsh) was as sober at the time as at that moment. Joseph Jackson, a joiner, also swore positively that the prisoner struck Mrs. Walsh. Mr. Cobb produced 'a woman to s , :,,kv that the prisoner could not have been at Chatsworth-street at the time stated; as she alleged he was then at Stnithdown-lane. Mr. Raffles said, after the positive swearing of three' witnesses, be could not come to any other conclusion but that the prisoner was the man who bad injured Mrs. Walsh. Mr. Cobb said perhaps Mr. Walsh would not wish to punish the man. Mr.. Walsh said, I would be the last man in the world to punish another, but here this man has left a permanent injury for life on my wife. Mr. Raffles : Well, let the case stand until to-morrow, and let the doctor who attended her be here to'describe the injuries. The case stands accordingly. PERSIA.-GREAT BATTLE. The following intelligence from Teheran, under date of ith October, has arrived : I have already informed you of the depredations com mitted on the north-west frontier of Persia by the wander ing Turcomans, who are the scourge of that district. In violation of the treaties existing between them and the g overnment of Nadir-Eddine-Shah, they plunder the caravans, sack the frontier villages, and threatened to attack Mechede, the capital of Khorassan. It was high time to punish these brigands, as they had already collected about 30,000 horsemen in the environs of Mero. Prince Manza Mirza, Governor-General of Khorassan, resolved to attack the troops so collected, as a victory would place all the deserts where the Turcomans camp in the power of the Shah. With that design Prince Mirza suddenly appeared before the walls of Mero with. a division of 10,000 infantry, 4,000 irregular cavalry, and some pieces of cannon. This was in the middle of the month of Sefer, which, according to the Koran, should be kept holy and devoted to devout exercises and pilgrimages. Notwithstanding that, on the dawn of the following day a desperate conflict began, and lasted for nine hours without intermission. In spite of the brilliant charges of infantry, led by General Mourteza-Kouli-Khan, the struggle might have continued longer, but for a successful manoeuvre of the Persian artillery directed by the Prince in person. The enemy at last fled, leaving from 3,000 to 4,000 of their number on the plains or Mero. Nearly the same number of prisoners, including many Turcoman chiefs, a great number of horses and camels, with immense quantities of arms, fell into the hands of the victors. The Persian loss was also very considerable. The brave General Ali-Kouli-Khan, who, at the beginning of the battle, commanded the artillery, was severely wounded. He was still living at the departure of the courier, but no hopes were entertained of saving him. ACCIDENTS AT BIRKENHEAD.—Edward Davis, of the Dock Cottages, and John Hanshaw, were killed on Thursday last by a block of timber falling upon them. An inquest on the bodies was held yesterday before Mr. Churton, the coroner, and a verdict, o!' accidental death in each case was returned. ROBBERY AT BIRKENHEAD.--At the Birkenhead Police Court, yesterday morning, before Messrs. Derby shire and Case, four persons, named Ann Parr, John Duncan, Elizabeth Duncan, and Frances Quelly, were Placed in the dock on a charge of having robbed a house in Oli ver - street. Th e g r ea t er p ar t o f the property which had been stolen was found in the prisoners' pos session; it in,cluded a•quantity of groceries, —butter, tea, sugar, and some wearing apparel. Mr. Bretherton, who was engaged for the defence was unable to attend, and the c H a E s e BLUE-C OA T therefore Ec r remanded cu ooi till h e boysr o Monday.his school, for some time past, have been undergoing military drill, under the direction of Mr. A Davies, and from the best authority we learn that they have shown great aptitude, and have progressed wonderfully in every way. Some excellent military judges state that the boys are remark ably quick, and go through the evolutions with an astonishing degree of precision, such as would do credit to the best disciplined force. This, perhaps, is due to the attention paid to them, as well as their readiness to receive instruction ; and we are sure the supporters of this excellent establishment will feel gratified at being informed' that the lads are everything that could be • wished, and we trust it will be a strong inducement to others (who are able) to come generously forviarei to aid an institution that deserves much public support, which. would enable the managers to extend their sphere of usefulness, and give to the world many persons of genius that might otherwise perish for want of support. THE WHITWORTH RIFLE. The' Moniteur de l'Armee has the following remarks on the performances of the Whitworth rifle at Vincenves:— During the late national rifle match, where the com mittee had to class no less than 80,000 shots, the Whit worth rifle was tried, in presence of Mr. Whitworth himself, and by one of his men, against a rifle in the French Chasseurs. It bad a very decided advantage at all distances, but it must be mentioned that our rifle, with a bore of 18 millimetres, competed with one a bore half less. The Whitworth system seems, however, to be superior to ours, at least in theory, but it is as yet an experimental weapon, not a weapon for the soldier. Mr. Whitworth brought with him the rifle which was used in the trials ; it was made expressly for the English rifle match at Wimbledon. If we are not mistaken, General Guiod, presidelit of the commission, struck with the results obtained, =lied the inventor if he felt certain of obtaining the same results with two of his rifles belong ing to the French Government. He replied in the affirmative, but found himself greatly mistaken, for our Whitworth rifle, though fired by Mr. Whitworth's own man, an excellent shot, whom he had brought with him, did not equal the French Chasseur's rifle. The inventor then examined the weapon, and finding several screws not tight enough, asked permission to put them right, which was at once granted. He then went to the workshop of the fort, took the rifle to pieces, put it together again in his own way, and came back with it in the after noon. The results obtained were much better, being superior to those with the Chasseur's arm, but inferior to those given by the rifle which he had brought with him. Thus it appears that one of his rifles w ill carry better than another, and that the least negligence in putting the weapon together affects the accuracy of the aim. This is a great defect in a weapon of war, liable to be placed in the hands of so many men who may not be over-intelligent or awkward, and at times tired and hurried. The cartridges are not admissible for the army ; they absolutely require a small disc of grease, which would melt in the soldiers' knap sack or cartridge-box, and the rifle would then be use less. Nevertheless, the Whitworth rifle is a very remarkable weapon, and demands serious attention ; for if means should be found to render it rather less delicate, less precise, and more capable to endure rough usage, it will give a fearful advantage to troops armed with it. It is easy to see that this invention will receive further improvements. THE NAVAL CAREEI=I, OF THE LATE EARL OF DUNDONALD. Our rising naval commanders will derive great profit from the study of Lord Dundonald's career. While few seamen can hope to be entrusted with a fleet like that of Nelson, the command of a small steam sloop or of a gunboat is within the reach of almost every young and heroic officer, and affords an opportunity of serving England well. Should war unhappily break out, we trust many brave men will seek to rival the exploits of the com mander of the Speedy. Our present sailors are at least equal to their predecessors. On the day of the recent battle of Santa Maria, six English tars who had obtained leave on shore from her Majesty's ship Renown, proceeded, from motives of curiosity, to the camp of Garibaldi, but, when they had reached it, consented to join in the engagement, and, having been supplied with arms, captured two pieces of field artillery, which they turned upon the enemy. While we do not approve of their interference in a quarrel which is not that of their Queen and country, we feel a pride in their valour. We are sure that when duty calls them to hazard their lives they are capable of the per formance of the most heroic deeds. What may we not expect from such men when commanded by a leader like Dundonald ? While we glory in a series of great naval commanders, far beyond the rivalry of any age or Any country, we are convinced that our naval supremacy is due, not to their heroism alone, but at least equally to the excellence of our pri va t e seam e n , an d t o th e skill and daring of the captains of single vessels. As long as English sailors are proverbial for reckless valour ; as long as they are carefully trained in gunnery and in other duties of their calling; as long as English captains are ready to engage ships of treble their force, Britain must hold the empire of the sea. Our only fear is lest an ill-judged economy should expose valuable lives to undue risk and the credit of our navy to a temporary eclipse. English seamen care little for the superior numbers of an enemy but they must be s ecure d aga inst the destruction of their ships by guns of superior range and shots of more deadly effect than their own. The early deeds of Lord Dundonald are worthy to be studied and emulated by the rising generation of our naval officers. We com mend the pursuits of his old age to the consideration of the Board of Admiralty and of the whole people of England.--. Herald. BANKRUPTS. John Slater Marshall, Billiter-street, City.
