be maintained with departed spirits, and between persons situated at the antipodes of each other ; by which tables and chairs may be induced spontaneously to start up and. perform quadrilles through the room, while the poker and tongs describe parabolic curves over the same area. The disciples of this highly " spiritual " faith will listen to no remonstrance or appeal as to the improbability or absurdity of such a belief. They have seen it done, and cannot help believing it ! In the same category we may rank the popular belief in dreams, as a means of predicting the future. Who has not met with dreamers who believe that they have seen their dream-predic tions literally and. wondrously fulfilled ? In this class also rank believers in apparitions, ghosts, haunted houses, and. "lucky" or "unlucky" events, localities, and objects. There is no form of super stition, however gross, in support of which may not be produced abundant eye-witnesses prepared solemnly to declare that they have seen the " facts" upon which such vagaries are founded. We have had winking, weeping, and bleeding Virgins, and the annual liquefaction 'of the blood of St. SANUARIUS, attested by tens of thousands. If with our own eyes we have beheld the " table turning" of the "spiritualist," "mesmerist," of operator, under whatever other designation he may assume, are we not bound to believe in them and in their theories? If we can neither demonstrate the isaccutacy of the explanation suggested, as to their mysterious or unexplained cause, nor prove that they are to be attributed to the ordinary operation of some known law of nature, are we not bound to accept them as great and impenetrable mysteries ? The appeal is to facts, and to sufficiently credible testimony:. Seeing is believing. Accordingly, to what rule of evidence, then, shall we withhold Our ? If we reject these" facts," the question recurs, Hour and wha shall we believe ? In so far as the appeal 'to our belief is made to 'rest upon visible facts, there need be no difficulty whatever. Any 'Confusion that might arise in the mind is "likely to be owing to the want of careful Ititcrimination between facts seen, which tnuit be believed, and conjectural or assumed ;explanations as to their cause, which is not seen. Seeing is, undoubtedly, believing. But we must take care in adjusting our belief in facts, lest we confound the things seen with those conjectured or inferred therefrom. The moment the human mind beholds a novel fact, the greatest anxiety is felt to find out some explanation of it. One or more theories are sure to suggest themselves, and that which seems most consistent with previous knowledge is most apt to secure belief. While certain of our facts, we may be wrong in our inferenc,es; and, still worse, we may mistake our own inferences for part of the facts demonstrated. There is no greater or more common weakness prevalent among a free-thinking people than the want of care and discrimination as to what really constitutes evidence and the process of accumulat ing the various points of that sum of evidence which is required to make a complete proof of any given proposition. If alongside ,‘ table turning," &c., we should propose to rank the con juring tricks of "The Wizard of the North," we dare say we should shock the feelings of not a few; and yet in what respect do they differ. We have beheld both " table-turning" and " magic," and "seeing is believing" quite as much in either case—but not one whit more in the one than in the other. The professed "spiritualist" and the professional " wizard" equally appeal to facts through the eye, and both may succeed, for a time at least, in challenging detection. So far as facts go and the eye is concerned, they are both exactly upon a par in the matter of evi- deuce. In either case we may conjecture or infer some unseen cause or modus operandi, but therein we may be wrong. Without going so far as to question the honesty of the " spiritualist" or " table-turner," either in the performance of the operation itself, or in his theory as to its moving cause, we decline accepting as evidence of a novel and startling proposition a few simple facts sus- eeptible in all probability of an equally simple explanation, were it no other than that of gross self-delusion on the part of the " spiritualists." 1n any case, whether as regards " spiritualism," or any other of the endless variety of " isms" Which demand the attention of the present age, the great point to be observed in weighing their respective merits is that we must vigorously de- viand the most ample evidence of whatever is put forward as the facts of the case ; and we must beware, above all things, of confounding these facts, when once established, with speculative theories deduced from them. The more general application of these plain rules to Social Science and Economies, as well as to general science and even politics, would do much to discountenance quackery and demagogism of all sorts, and to advance the nation in all its important interests. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Oct. 1. I have not yet learnt the full particulars of the terms under which Ancona has capitulated ; but it appears that General Lamoriciere did not surren der until the last extremity. The attack and defence were remarkable for the greatest display of bravery on both sides. The besieged had no more than 120 guns, as the defensive works had not been completed at the moment when the Beige commenced. When the fortress surrendered, every gun but one had been disabled. The Piedmontese artillery, which was in saperb order, was admirably served, and its fire, both by land and sea, was of the most formidable description. The victors have borne most ample testimony to the heroic defence made by the little garrison. From Naples the more recent accounts announce another success to the royalist army, which has retaken, it is said, Cajazzo and Piedmonti, tito towns situated in the vicinity of Labour, between Capua and Gaeta, after a series of sanguinary hand-to-hand fights. If this intelligence be true, the army of Francis 11. must have acquired the complete command of the line of the Vol turno. It is further stated that Garibald i, no ways disheartened, is determined, as early as possible this Month, to bring on a general action with the Neapolitan army. There can be no doubt that the Garibaldians have suffered great losses in the actions that have already taken place. It is said that the sick and wounded may be counted by thousands, the volunteers consisting almost wholly of young men, who are quite unable to Sustain for any length of time the fatigues of war. During the recent engagements the young Neapolitan Princes and the Count de Trapani conducted themselves with the greatest gallantry. The Count de Caserto is ✓eported to have been slightly wounded in one of the attacks. The Count de Trapani, who is the King's Uncle and Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Guard, continues to exhibit the greatest devotion to the totter ing cause of his nephew. The latter has himself come to Capua, with his young wife, who is described as pos- Pleasing a very resolute character, and they pass up and down the lines on horseback animating and encouraging the soldiers. But what avails all this firmness and heroism, now that the time for displaying these qualities has so long gone bye? Had they been exhibited a few months earlier, possibly Sicily, and almost certainly Calabria, might have been saved. General Bosco turns out, after all, to be in Paris, and not engaged in leading sorties against his mortal enemies, the Garibaldian Volunteers. The Journal of Verona n unle days ago published a letter from the general, dated CaPlia, in which he indignantly denied the statement that he had passed over to the service of Piedmont, and he now sends a letter to the Journal des Debats, which is dated from the Baden Hotel, Paris, in which he declares that he never wrote the letter which appeared in . the Veronese journal, - although he adds: "I entirely Clare the sentiments which are expressed in it." As to Garibaldi, the most contradictory reports con tinue to be circulated regarding his present line of con duct. According to some, he is more than ever bent on at once taking measures to complete the unification of t ub') by proceeding to attack Rome and Venice ; but a ccording to others, he has lately exhibited sentiments and views of a much more reasonable description. For ,inllleY part, as I have over and over again said, I never °e— • Yea in the possibility of his being serious in attack- I n g Rome, and the realisation of any such project has dome still snore doubtful, now that the route between Naples and the great Christian capital is obstructed not n ulY by a 25,00 • Pied montese army, but also by a force of 0 'Preach tzoope. Besides, the Dictator colitinues to find his hands fully occupied at this moment in the direction of the Volturno, on the banks of which river he has, as I have said, recently suffered several severe checks. I some time ago pointed out how useful one or two defeats might be to the cause which he represents ; and I now find it reported that he has actually found it necessary either to send an invitation to General Cial dini, or has accepted an offer from that officer, to hasten to his aid with the corps under his command, previously to the pitched battle which he intends forthwith to fight with the Neapolitans. General Bosco is not the only individual whom the papers have spoken of as having been in the vicinity of the seat of war, whilst they were a thousand miles distant. Victor Hugo has never left Guernsey, where he has long been engaged in his literary labours, and Ledru Rollin has written to the Opinion Nationale, to correct the rumour that he was in Naples. The division of the French army ordered to Rome consists of not less than 10,000 men, who will by this time, most likely, have been disembarked at Civita Vecchia, the voyage from Toulou, from which port they were to be despatched, not being more than from 30 to 40 hours. At Rome itself preparations are being openly made, for the departure of the Pope, who has declared that he no longer desires a protection which is purely personal. Most of the cardinals intend also to leave. This is no longer a mystery. Whenever General Goyon says to his Holiness " Whither will you go, Holy Father ?" the reply he receives is always the same—" The whole world is before me." It seems evident that M. de Goyon has some private instructions, which the French Ambassador, M. de Grammont, either does] not like to carry out, or is forbidden from tryirg to do so, for he studiously keeps out of the way, haVing taken up his abode at Frascati, only coming to Rome to transact the indispensable business of the legation, and leaving General do Goyon to manage exclusively the delicate negotiations at present pending between the French Government and his Holiness. News has seen received here of a very serious mishap which has occurred to the yacht in which the Prince Napoleon is making the tour of the United Kingdom The boiler of the yacht is said to have burst, and some of the passengers to have been killed or drowned. The Prince himself was precipitated into the sea, but was rescued. The vessel was afterwards burnt to the water' edge. LATEST NEWS. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, Oct.. 1, 3.34 p.nt. The Bourse has been firm and animated. Bentes opened 68 70 and were finally 'quotal 68 65, or 5 cents lower than Saturdfo nentes in liquida tion 68 65. FRANCE AND ROME. The Pattie says four steamers and fon. trans ports were to sail from Tonlen yesterday, for Civita Vecchia, with the I.egiments comprising the 3rd division of infantry of the army of Lyons. The Pattie adds that the troops of this division will be garrisoned at Rome, and in other cities of the States of the Church belonging to the domain of St. Peter. THE AFFRAY AT DERRYAAOASH. LURGAN, Oct. 1. The adjourned inquest on the body of Thomas Murphy, who died from the effects of a gun shot wound received at Derrvmacash on the 12th of July, was resumed and concluded this day. The jury found that the deceased died of a gun shot wound, inflicted by some person unknown. They also stated that the peace of the cotifttry would be much promoted by the discontinuance of party displays of every kind. GARIBALDI. The Globe asserts that the moral and political position of Garibaldi is more doubtful than were his military prospects, so that it is now a serious question whether he can extricate himself without the aid of Victor Emmanuel; while if he Accepts that aid, or if it be forced upon him, he must give up the independent line of action and the extravagant and impracticable projects it involves. The dream of going to Rome is dispelled by the interposition of Piedmontese Regulars quite as much as by the French army, and the reality of keeping possession of Naples is now contingent on a decisive victory on the Volturno. RESIGNATION OF M. THOUVENEL. PARIS, Oct. 1. Thouvenel tendered his resignation to the Emperor while at Ajaccio, insisting that a more efficacious protection should be granted to the Pope. Since the return of the Emperor, and the reply given to the Duke de Cadeur, M. Thouvenel has withdrawn his resignation. ARRESTS IN HUNGARY, AND NEW LEVIES OF TROOPS. VIENNA, Oct. 1. Numerous arrests have taken place in Hungary on account of the dissemination of revolutionary proclamations. The military classes of 1840, '39, '3B, '37, '36, comprising young men of the age of 16 years, have been called to service. The levy will terminate on the 31st December next. THE EAST. TRIESTP., OCt. 1. According to advices received here, the Com mander-in-Chief of the French troops at Bey routh has declared to Fuad Pacha that he had received orders from Paris to place himself at his disposal, and to act according to the instructions agreed upon on the 10th ult., at Constantinople, between the Porte and the foreign representa tives. These instructions state that the European Commission of Inquiry could not claim any legis lative or executive powers, the same being exclu sively reserved to the Extraordinary Commissioner of the Sultan. VISIT OF VICTOR EMMANUEL TO NAPLES WITH THREE DIVISIONS OF HIS ARMY. PARIS, Oct. 1. The Patric announces that further armaments have been ordered at the Austrian ports in the Adriatic. The same paper says it is said that the King of Sardinia, after having visited Ancona, will proceed towards the Neapolitan frontier. The Pays, in publishing the same news, adds, —" It is also said that three Sardinian divisions are about to enter the kingdom of Naples." TURIN, Oct. 1. King Victor Emmanuel will pass the night at Forli, and will leave to-morrow for Ravenna, where his Majesty will embark for Ancona. The conditions of the capitulation of Ancona are not yet known at Turin. The Sardinians found 145 cannons and 700,000 francs in the fortress. NAPLES. Letters from Naples to the 27th ult. state that the new Ministry formed by Garibaldi comprises Signor Bianco Guira and Ferronni. The deputation from Sicily has arrived at Turin. The following app care in our later editions of yesterday GARIBALDI. The Times obser ves t h ere i s no c h ance just yet of Garibaldi reaching Rome or Venice. The fear rather is lest he should find himself unable to perform what the friends of Italy still look to him to do. He must not allow himself to be beaten out of the Peninsula by the King of Naples. He must not lose what he has already gained. He is in a strait, out of which Victor Emmanuel can alone help him. ENGLAND AND THE ITALIAN QUESTION. The Daily News asks how is it that B r iti s h diplomacy is found speaking in a language unheard from i the mouths of ministers in Parliament. A British minister cannot have placed the influence of this country on the side of despotism. Lord J. Russell, we may be sure, has not failed to address to Count &ichberg a warning equally stringent with that sent to Count Cavour. This, diplomatic note ought to be made public. THE POPE'S TEMPORAL SOVEREIGNTY. The Daily News says that with the surrender of Ancona by Lamoriciere, the Pope's tempora l rule has ceased to exist, beyond the small circle over which it i s upheld by French bayonets; and the augmentation to the French garrison does not alter th e c h aracter w hi c h the Imperial Government had previously given to the occupa tion. - The Post remarks that with the surrender of Lamoriciere's force the temporal authority of the Pope is virtually at an end, so far at least as that authority depends upon the submission, voluntary or involuntary, of the Papal subjects to their Sovereign in any part of his territory, if we except the capital itself, and the narrow strip which the French corps of occupation holds with a firm and still tightening grasp. The Times remarks that the ultimate decision of the fate of the Pope must be with Napoleon 111. There is no reason why he should delay. He is no longer the puppet of the Church. Per haps h e m ay carry into action his own formerly LIVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE: The first mectinz of the present Winter Session of this Institution, was held yesterday afternoon in the School of Medicine, Dover-street. Mr. Wilson was called to the chair, and he opened the proceedings by calling upon Dr. Gee to deliver his ittroductory address, of which the following is an abstract : There was a time (said the lecturer), and that at no very distant period, when the school of medicine and the hospital were not so intimately allied as they are in the present day. But, happily, as knowledge increased, their interests were found to be identital s so thlt, to*, in close connectioa with the pritie;ip ; el itosPita Is in the metropolis and provinces, there are flourishing institu tions for tho education of medical students, with every facility afforded by the governors for, the practical inves tigation of diseaSe at the bedside X the patients. By this means the students are better efitripp'od for their after destiny, and the hesp . lt!nS furnished with staffs of medical officers bt incomparably higher attainments. And, gentlemen, let me, in the first place, warn you that nothing but diligent and persevering study will secure you success. And I would urge you to the adoption of a systematic method of study. If any of you have formed bad habits, resolve to abandon them. Let the dissecting room be your resort instead of the billiard room, the hospital in place of the tiCan, and the lecture room iti 116 . it O t is the theatre. You have all, I trust, ffaStered the rudiments, and some of you have Made very creditable progress, as the distribution of prizes this day testifies. Go on perseveringly until you have completed the allotted term for study, when it is to be hoped you will have gained what your teachers and best friends desire, namely a thorough acquaintance with the principles and practice of your profession. Endeavour to keep up your knowledge of class!'es and mathematics; a small portico of each day will suffice for this object. toil Will henceforward have to study natura kience. A knowledge of botany, chemistry, and the general principles of natural history will be indispen sable. In the class-room you will be guided as to the subjects which will call for your special notice: There you will receive general outlines, which are afterwards to be filled up by yourselves. But lectures and hooks, invalu • able as they are, will only give you theoretical knowledge. Lectures alone would soon be forgotten, and so would minute descriptions given in hooks hitt, ~ , riee fami liarised with objects by personal Contacl; and observation, the impression made will be permanent. The science of medicine is not learned as some handicraft, whore by the application of the imitative faculties during an apprenticeship the youth is expected to have mastered his calling. He then suggested a few rules for adoption which, if acted upon, would be of material service during a sttrient life. Read largely, notwithstanding; but solect those works which will be of service to you, either on the special subjects to which you are deVOted, or such as Will tend t , ) sti'efigilren your mind, enlarge your views, and improve your style both of thought and expression. Accustom yourselves to think and ponder over what you read; he more anxious thoroughly to understand one good work titan to read several in a desultory manner. Let me warn you against a prac tice that prevails to a certain extent in gaining infor mation through the means of handbooks or mannals alone. Many of these are good, and all useful fOr refer ence. But you should rather study monographs on particular subjects, and works of some pretension. Do not b e di s c our a ge d by any difficulty in grappling With A. stibjeCt. Let it not be passed over for the time , in order to be encountered at some future day; but brace yourselves for the conflict, and in the exercise you will find that you have gained an increase of power to con tend with future difficulties. To aid your memory, you will find it useful each day to review the labour of the previous one. Try to do everything well. In the leattre room, let your notes be well taken, fn the dissecting room, hospital ) and laboratory, strive to excel. Endea vour to be punctual in fulfilling all the engagements of the session, and so arrange your time for meals and exercise as not to interfere with any known duty. Be well conducted—at home, in your class, and in public. Actslike gentlemen; be courteous and kind, and render assistance to each other whenever you have opportunity. Having urged upon you the discipline of the mind, let me here advise you with all your learning to learn to discipline the heart. Devote some portion of each day to the study of God's Word, and let His Sabbath be a day of rest to you from the ,toil of scientific study, and be devoted to the high purpose for which it was benefi cently given. • A vote of thanks having been passed to Dr. Gee, the chairman said, that in Mr. Monk's absence he had con sented to occupy his present position. Ile eengrattilated the young men on the pfofession they had selected. It had often struck him, and probably many others, what a self-denying profession this was. They went into all kinds of danger, and there was, perhaps, no other profession in which the sympathies were so much called forth ; and in proof of its high character, they had only to look at the class of men who were in it. He believed there was no class of men who were so universally looked upon as gentlemen, as the members of the medical profession. At the present thrill the income of the institution WAS X 3,060 short of its expenses; and although they might not directly be able to remove that inconvenience, still they could, by raising its character, enable it to do anything. He hoped the young men would show the same delicacy, consideration, and kindness, to those who were partially under their charge, which they would expect to be shown to their own family, or which they would be expected to show in after life. By so doing, the poor people who left the institution would be able to say, "We have all we want." In that way they would return the debt of gratitude they owed to an institution which was enabling them to rise in their profession and in life. The prizes were then distributed in the following order : Surgery (Lecturer) Mr. tolig) i Silver Medal, Mr. Capper; Certificates, Mr. Ricketts and Mr. Sheldon.

COUNTY {COURT YFSTERDA.y.—(Before J. K. Blair, Esq.)—An action was brought by Mr. R. W. Braith waite, printer, 10, Blair-street, against Mr. W. Kean Miller, for the recovery of £4 7s. 6d. Mr. Dykes appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Miller conducted his own defence. It appeared that in August, 1858, Mr. Miller became a ca n did a t e f or t h e o ffi ces of " Removal and Enquiry" under the Toxteth Park Guardians, who from a number of other candidates recommended him for the position. A meeting was called; Mr. Pickup, Mr. Johns, the defendant, and others were present. A number of bills were ordered of the plaintiff, recom mending the defendant to the ratepayers. The bill was signed by the overseers of the parish, the chairman and vice chairman of the guardians. The plaintiff swore that the order was given by the defendant, admitting that a few days afterwards, not however before the bills had been printed, that .he directed him to charge the guardians with the acconnt. Defendant denied having given the order, and remarked that he opposed publish ing the bills. His Honour deferred judgment until Monday. COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT. YESTERDAY.-(Be fore Messrs. PRESTON and Moss:)—Two young girls, named Mary and Ell en Brearden, were charged by a gentleman, named Hammond, with having stolen a quantity of household goods from his house. The prisoners are sisters. Mary, the eldest, was in the prosecutor's employ as domestic servant. Ellen lives at home. On Sunday, Mary stole the goods, and, with the assistance of her sister, carried them away. A constable met them, and took them into custody on sus picion of stealing the goods in their possession. The girls appeared penitent. The prosecutor, in answer to a question by one of the magistrates, stated that he did not desire to press the charge. The prisoners' mother, who was present in the court, received a little advice from the Bench, and the girls were dismissed with a caution as to their future conduct, avowed opinion, and put an end to the temporal sovereignty of the Holy See. LARGE ARRIVAL OF SPECIE FROM AUSTRALIA. The . total of £1,179,694 in specie, brought by the mail steamer Tasmania, was contained in 2,160 pack ages, weighing more than 156 tons. The whole was landed in seven hours, deposited in thiqy-six railway waggons, brought up to Nine Elms Station during the night, and transmitted in the morning to thirty-six waggons and vans drawn by upwards of 100 horses for conveyance to the Bank of England: PIUMIJCE IN 130 ND. It is stated,in ira;eis,andion; ; CL;r, that on the 31st of August the produce in the bonded warehouses of the United Kingdom showed an increase over the same period last year of 81 per cent. in currants; 30 per cent. in raisins ; 4 in rum ; 31 in brandy ; 77 in refined sugar; 23 in Sugar'unrefined; 1.0 in tea; 18 . in t.2I3aCCo; and 29 per cen t. in Wine. Three articles show a decrease—viz., toeba, pepper, and nnaiasses, Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., M.P., has arrived in London from Naples. The Berlin correspondent of the Herald says that so long as Piedmont refuses to attack Venice the Prussian Minister will not be recalled from Turin. The Paris correspondent of the Times reports, that the French occupation will no longer be limited to Rome, and that it will extend to various towns in the Pontifical States. The Times, referring to the accounts of the quarter's revenue, thinks that taxation has almost &moiled its limit, and that the efforts df the GOkti - nnient should be directed to ocrto alleViation of the public burdens. the health of the troops in China was excellent at the end of July. One regiment, the 99th, 598 strong, had but two men absent from duty. The hospital ships are models of comfort and even a luxury. The Chinese were expected to resist to the utmost at Peiho. The result is expected by next mail. THE DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, OCTOI3ER 2, 1800. AMUSEMENTS. THEATRE ROYAL. Mr. Copeland, with that spirit of enterprise, which has characterised his able management, has engaged the celebrated Manchester company, which has created such a sensation and attraction in that city. The drama of "Faust and Marguerite," created a furore in Manches ter, and we know that from the manner in which it will be produced here, that nothing will be left undone to make it perfect and popular. From what we read in our bonteniporarits, it seems this performance is one of the great successes of the dab', and we are Mire it Will not lose any of its attractive interest here. It trill be repreSented this evening for the first time at the Royal. ITALIAN OPERAS AT THE THEATRE ROYAL. Last night Verdi's popular opera " Il Trovatore" was attempted at the Theatre lloyal IVe say attempted, for in many respects we are comp e ll e d t o a d m it it was not performed. A difficiilty occurred at the very com mencement; The Chorus were not,ready, and Ferrando's call to arise, "Al Ertu' ; had td he repeated by Signor Ciampi three times, and the symphony to he teptated three times before the soldiers appeared. Signor Ciampi was very successful throughout, not only in his own part, but in the latter part of the Conte di Luna, which he took for Signor Dragone, who was evidently overtaxed, and was received' with great disapprobation, after his ineffectual rendering of "Il balm." He was hissed by parties in. the gallery, and they were so exas perated that they also hissed the following chorus, " Udiam,. udiam celiamoci," in which he took part, and Wch was kilt well given. In the, impassioned • Parts; Madarhe eriergY, &The:ailed the ravages made by time upon her vocal powers; but in the more quiet portions we were driven to wish that she had retired before the change from her former self was so painfully evident. We must say the same of Mario. He acted ad mirably, and sang the forte parts, such as "Di quells Fire" very finely, but the more gentle parts were not so effective; yet in the use of his falsetto he still retains his peculiar sweetness and skilful blending with his chest voice. The heroine of the evening was Madame Viardot; who in the character of the gipsy Azu c'Pirt outdid her s elf b o th i n si ng i ng a nd a ctin g .

Signor Ciampi and Madame Grisi were also called for after the duett " Mira l'acerbe lagrime." The four principals were called for after the opera was finished. The house was crowded.

A meeting of this society *as held last evening *the Royal Instittite, thilqUit-street . The Rear. H. Higgins presided. Some routine business havirii been dispesed' of, the Secretary read the annual report, from which it appeared that this was the commencement of the 50th session of this society, but it would not have attained its fiftieth year until 1862, when it would be celebrated in a heoming manner. The society included 169 members. The report detailed at great lcngth.the conferences with the other learned societies, relative to the formation of a special museum for the exhibition of applications of practical science, and their labours have resulted in an arrangement under which the council hope that Mr: Win, Brown's wishes will be fully rdlised, arid that his riiiinificeiide int result in ,a valuable addition to the buildings of the to*n, and in acknowledgment of that gift it was recommen d e d that Mr. Brown should be elected a corresponding member of the society. From the Treasurer's statement it appeared that there was a balance in hand of £176 13s. 6d. The meeting then proceeded to the election of five gentlemen to form the' council, who were not upon it last year.' Those elected were—Messrs. R. Brooke ' 0. Cldrke Wm: Bine, V a dli a bbi n Neoroji, and J. A. Pictthil ' The following nine I-tende r/len were also elected on the council--J. B. Edwards, T. Byerley, D. P. Thompson, H. Duckworth, C. Collingwood, J. C. Redish, Rev. J. Rob er t s , J . B . Nevins, an d G . H. Morton. Those gentlemen, there fore, constitute the council for the ensuing twelve months, the Rev. IL H. Higgins being the p res id ent. Dr. Ed war d s, Dr. Ihne, and - Mr. Piston were elected the vice-presidents of the society. Dr. Byerley was unanimously elected treasurer. Dr. Collingwood was also almost unanimously elected honorary secretary, and, at the request of .the society; he teluetatitly consented to act for the iddiety if he possibly could nerforift the duties. The following gentlemen were elected a depu tation from this society, for forming the joint committee for establishing the new museum of the Free Public Library :—The President, Dr. Nevins, and Dr. Coiling wood, Mr. Duckworth; and Mr. Higginson. The only other. business transacted was the appointment of Mr. William Brown, as a corresponding member of this society on the motion of Mr. Higgins, seconded by . Dr. Nevins, and the meeting terminated. hANKRUPTCY COURT, (Before Mr. Commissioner PERRY.) In re WILLIAM OSBORNE.—This bankrupt, a printer, bookseller, and stationer, carrying on business at Birken head, applied yesterday for his certificate. gr. Evans, in the absence of Mr. Rymer, represented the assignees, and consented to the bankrupt's application.. M r . Al fred Samnell, on his behalf, asked for a first class certificate. His Honour, after referring to the balance-she e t, said the bankrupt appeared td hate . itithirred liabilities with out any consideration : he could therefore only aiVard a second-class certificate; but for that circumstan ce h e should have been happy to have given him one of the first class. _ In re ANTHONY CUMMING, JUN.—This bankrupt, a merchant in Liverpool, came up on application f or hi s certificate. No trade assignee had been appointed. Mr. Banning represented the official assignee, and Mr. W oe . ship the bankrupt. Mr. Worship stated that hig books had been properly kept, that his trade and personal expenses Were small, that he had commenced business With a capital, and that his bankrUptcy had arisen from depression in trade. He therefore thought the court would think it a case for a first-class certificate. Hi s Honour, after conferring with the official assignee, said the bankrupt might take a first-class certificate. In re THOMAS MITCHELL. — The bankrupt, described as an apothecary in business in Liverpool, applied for his certificate. Mr. Alfred. Samuell appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Evans supported the bankrupt. His Honour awarded a second-class certificate. :fin re ' PALM AND Sox.—These bankrupts W ere maltsters in Chester, and also applied for certificates. Mr. Goodman, for the assignees, stated that h e was favourable to the bankrupts' application, as it appeared that their misfortunes were somewhat unavoidabl e a n d arose principally from law proceedings they became involved in with the excise authorities. His honour awarded second-class certificates to each of them. In re ANN A: LEvi.nns.— , This bankrupt ca rr i e d on btisitieSs iti lames's-street, Liverpool, as a hosie r , and came up for a certificate. Mr. Vans, for th e assignees, was not instructed to *oppose. Hi s H onour awarded a certificate of the,second_class. In re 'humus YOUNG.—This bankrupt, a 'tea and coffee merchant in Liverpool, appeared on his last examination. Mr. Pemberton, who represented the assignees, stated that the stock account which the court had ordered the bankrupt to furnish had not been filled in time for the official assignee to investigate; he had, therefore, to ask for a farther adjournment. His Hon our ordered the case to stand over till the 15th instant. SWIMMING MATCH.—The last swimming m a t c h for the season came off last evening at the Cornwallis street Baths, A large number of gentlemen entered' into the contest, and some elegant swimming re sulted. Much praise is due to the originators of the Liverpool Association, for it is certain that an art by which human life is occasionally saved mast be of great n a ti ona l i mportance , and should b e taught to every youth in the kingdom. It was a grati fying, interesting, and brilliant exhibition of s kill , daring., and nerve. Handsome prizes were awarded. A beautiful incident occurred in the coarse of the evening. The winner of the second prize, in his summer holiday tour had, it appeared, been instrumental in saving a life on one .of the Scottish lochs. He narrated the particulars, and was warmly applauded. RAILWAY Amur:rm.—The many railway accidents, especially to excursion trains, has naturally excited con siderable attention and anxiety to the public mind_ especially as it seems pretty evident that the formula of "accidental death" which so conveniently marks coro ner's juries as 'a stereotyped verdict—does not convey the real cause of these accidents or deaths. It has been truly said that accidents will happen even in the best regulated families, such as the Great Western and the Caledonian. Yet few travellers on some of the lines cannot have failed to observe many things which tend to increase the risk to the traveller. The excursion or cheap trains on the "Lancashire and Yorkshire" have for years had a narrow escape from the fate which lately overtook its train, the want of sufficient break power at the end of the train and the confusion at the stations. The subject was publicly drawn attention to by the writer three years ago, and vet the managers went on adding carriage to carriage with but a couple of breaks, and such a mass of confusion at stations on the route as would do discredit to the merest tyro in railways. What is wanted is a thoroughly competent manager, not a man promoted merely by seniority or favour, and a code of regulations that are meant to be acted up to, as to length of trains, number and position of breaks, and duties of overlookers. If the board cannot manage that, let the Board of Trade "wake up" and try its powers or obtain increased ones. Anything must .be better than the confusion and risk which now prevail, only in the Lancashire and Yorkshire districts. N. THE WATER COMMITTEE. The usual meeting of this committee was held yester day. Mr: Hodson took the chair. The other gentle men present were Messrs. Crellin„ Estill, Farnworth, W. Earle, Rae, Bel oe , Wagstaff, Woodruff, J. R. Jef fery, and Bennett. 1 1 The following report was read from Mr. Duncan, the water engineer :--" I have to report the following, for the information of the committee : Four of the filter beds have been cleaned out during the . past week; the other will be cleaned t o -d ay . 1 have had a plug and lever attached to the pipe which passes under the Mill stone embankment and Rivington reservoir, to secure it against accident.

The use of the Kensington reservoir was granted for a site for the display of fireworks on the occasion of the ih6 Fiep Li151.41'7 . 6n the ab'eve tidy. 1. • • . CIE L'TE §iANLEi 006 K: The. repOtt of the iiib4,'onitiiiti3O,,,.l4liioh hfiS so* often discussed, and on the last occaii6V,iti . aii, ieferieit back for reconsideration, was aga i n brought lip, add was as follows : " From the evidence before the committee, it appears hat a fire took place at the Stanley Dock warehouses on Wednesday, the Ist of August. The police report the alarm to have been received from a civilian, name unknown, at 9 45, and that the roof fell in at 10 30. "There is only one fire-policeman on duty at Stanley 1?oek during the night ; but he has no access to the searelloils6, and the ,alarm of fire did not proceed from ~, • him. - The valves which supp s lY thhhtdrants, and which are under the control of the dock authorities; always closed during the night, and the hydrants locked, so that much valuable time was necessarily lost in the application of water. The roof having fallen in three quarters of an hour from the time the alarm was given, it may be fairly conjectured that the fire had been burn ing for a. considerable period before it was discovered. Mr. Hewitt says, in answer to a question, 'Do you think, with a more abundant supply of water, you could hare extinguished the fire ?"No ; it was too far adVaxided before f . got there when I got there it was a complete fiirnaee.' 1, The police repert aim insufficient supply of water, Mid . in thi, they are silpipcitted lit the evidence of Mr: Brafleker dad Mr. HeWitt. a On the other hand, policeman Platt, Po. 06; .Snyd; 'The. supply . of water was good when we turned it on, and it remained good for twenty minutes; I should say the Pressure would go tens of yards ; from five minutes past ten to half-past the water was full pressure, but to the best of my knowledge we were comparatively with out water for half an hour.' And policeman Boyd, No. 406, says, 'lt was a capital supply ; I played it, but the wind caught it; it was a very good supply, and con tinued to twenty-fiveipinutes to eleven. " Mr. Dun an adopis the idea that at the commence of the fire the, titeSilte Was fonnd not to be sniff thcritly stfong td throw the d gredte;± distaiiee than a few yards from the 'nozzles;' and theti fitoeVedi to account for this by stating that 'the fireman in his zeal ordered the turncock to open up the Athol-street side services, and by that means.deprived the parties at the fire for some time from obtaining such a supply as they otherwise would have done.' From the evidence, it appears that the hose was applied at about from ten minutes to ten to ten minutes past ten that evening . ; and further, that the fire policeman did not meet Web ster. the turncock of Athol-street station, for whom he ietit in search, tintil a,quarter past ten, who then had to traverse nearly 1,000 yaids befoie he wild open the valve referred to. It therefore seems dear thdt the proceedings of Webster cbuld have nothing to do With the deficiency of water at the commencement of the fire. "The engineer then proceeded to explain that, not being satisfied, he made further inquiries, more espe cially as, on the day after the fire, the dock authorities complained of want of sufficient water, and he found it was so; and he then made arrangements for testing with the pressure gauge the supply of that district, when he found the pressure to be only 301bs. instead of 601bs. ; but still he was informed that all the valves had been Of ainined, and eterYttiing was tot: Some days after war& he applied the gaiie to' the top hydrant of the statrease iii the, roam adjoining . that in which the fire took pace, and, instead of getting 301bs. could only get .161b5., which *as again, materially reduced by opening up the Athol-street Vaite, but the pressure was restored when that valve was shut; and on testing . the effects of opening the lower hydrants to supply engines below, the first hydrant opened reduced the pressure to Blbs., and the second took it away altogether, but he could not tell what was the matter ; and on Friday morn ing, the 10th, the fire having happened on the Ist, it was discovered that a flushing-sewer scouring valve, close to the Stanley Dock gate, had been leeopen, and the stater running away into the sewer, and he thinks some one connected with the warehouses, not knowing the nature of the valve, opened it inithinkingly, and took away the pressure. Some years since a similar valve was left open, and, in consequence, safety guards were adopted, so that no policeman could open one' without knowing it to be a sewer valve; but in this instance the cap was wanting, and hence he assumes some man had unthinkingly turned on the valve. There was, however, nip evidence td prove fur what lengthened period this valise had been open, or Whether it had been opened before or after the fire. On the contrary, it was repeatedly asserted that the valves had been reported as all right. • The Engineer also stated that as a rule the pressure of the water in the warehouse district is not tested, and that, the qnantity of water escaping through the valve was three-quarters of a million gallons per day. The turncock Nolan, in his evidence, not only recol lected that this particular valve was without a cap, but that several others were in a similar condition, but he neglected td report it—in fad, he never made any report on the subject Wit once, and that was fifteen months ago, when their use Was first adopted. It was about a month or five weeks before the fire that he last turned that valve, and he had seen it since with the cap of, but he had no means of knowing whether the valve had been open ten or any other number of days before the fire. About three days after the fire had been got under he was ordered to try the valves, and he did try the valves at each end of Regent-street, but he had not the slightest idea that the one in Walter-street, being the valve referred to, would be meddled with, because it stands by itself. "Yolk committee. having referred to the facts that the fire was not discovered by the policeman on duty within the dock wall, and also that the valves that supply the hydrants in the dock are shut during the night, and the hydrants locked, have now to report with great regret that from the evidence they cannot but feel that very great want of discipline prevails in the staff of the engineer. " It seems doubtful whose duty it may be to instruct the fire policemen ; but in reply to a question put to Platt (P. C. No. 296), as to who supplied him with inforratitta: as to the mains, he says, We talk with the watermen, and pick it up as best we can. We find out a good deal from experience.' Again, Boyd (403) says that when he told Webster to open the Athol-street valve, the answer was, ' lie did not know whether it would be right or not;' and, finally, the committee find, by the statement of Mr. Duncanson, the deputy-engineer, that he asked the turn cocks were they sure there was none of the sewer valves open? had they examined them? and shut them off ? and they distinctly reported them all right ; and Nolan confesses that he has completely neglected his duty for many months, and the engineer himself admits there is no uniform system of taking the guages, and, as a rule, the pressure of water in the warehouse district is not tested. " The committee cannot but view these irregularities and want of system with the greatest anxiety and alarm. At the same time the committee cannot but feel that there is much want of co-operation between the turn cocks and the fire-police, and the committee hope that Mr. Duncan will place himself in connection with Major Greig, with a view to an amendment of the present system." Mr. Beloe moved its adoption, which was seconded by Mr. W as and, after a brief conversation, was adopted, the Engineer, however, ob serv i ng that he never wished to shirk any responsibility, and denied that the whole of the responsibility was upon his shoulders. Mr. EARLE thought that there should be two officers, the one to attend to the reservoirs and Mr. * Dancan to the pipes in the town. This concluded the business of the committee. A. young woman was yesterday taken by the police to the hospital at Birkenhead. Her ear was almost com pletely bitten off ; and, upon being questioned as to how this happened, she persisted in saying that "she had done it herself !"

Rtrfetifeene4 A " NATIVE') MURPHY ! The families of the alurithies are not Confined to mere frill potatoes, for we have "natives " of that tribe in the "good old ttevre."„ One of the " family"---certainly anything but a "mealy" specin?eie of the confraternity of that useful esculent ---named James Murphy, selit eharged by 31r. Carr, the gover nor of the workhouse, for being' &mark and for having nearly killed himself into the bargain. Poo;• alaerred to have been smitten by the disease that has run into the faluity for so many years, for he was as dilapidated a specimen of the " root" as ever eye rested on. "First and foremost". it was ascer tained that Jem is a real live native of Liverpool. having first opened his optics in that classic (that was) street called after the county that boasts of lakes, namely, Cumberland. He was Orieifialle a knocker about the docks, and from a statement made by a Brldeetell keeper, he had received mere knocks than all the rowdies that hale existed in Liverpool for the last century ; in fact Vrilcen When forging the bolts of Jove, in Etna's roaring gloat, never hanereeted the bars to such an t e i X te te e n to t as tivi the e, e f or ro p rei ul other men's fists, and p o o f itoe Sem ole M ie u s e s p ti h o y k lzd been haneittered from shipwright's "mauls." eeticaia notions we±e entertained whether his body had not been ossified into impenetrable granite or constipated other materials of a w p a u s n a c ishte thid n n atu o re f d ,o e t 6 ei h ti b e b th sn e e t : t s ite in s e e w thin an g d s marble, for nothing else could have endured the " wolloppings" he got for the last 25 years from all manner of created men. The only visible effect, however, that it had produced e s d t o h n e Jem was the eirtklng of his head between his twoshoulders, latter being an aid/ or so higher than the apex of the cranium. Where his eyes might h'at'e Peen placed originally, would require two commissions 'of inquiry to' aseertain. At present one of them appeared twisted round towards his gala and the other was raised 'towards the centre of his forehead.. One looking at his tout ensemble would do so more in sorrow than in anger, thinking of the dangers he had past, and how he had Managed to survive them. A constant drop, they say, will Wear even ti stohe ; and stoney and irony as the frame and constitution of lets Murphy midst leave been, the " drop" at hia began' to realise the pteverb, end at lest he was obliged to ta i ke refuge the' legal vollintary prison, Yclep t the workhouse, but that seems - a misnomer; for nobody Works there except such as are past labour. licaveieta a a denier ressort, resorted to Brownlow-hill, the ratepayers lareing been taxed for his support. He stopped there for some time, arid then, having gained his freedom by means of a magic bit of. paper called a " discharge," he once more breathed the free air (barrin the smoke nuisance), and this, along with an admixture of certain fermented alcholie combustions, put Jem into a worse state than the man who first planted a vineyard. In this state he presented himself again at the gate of the asylum, but it lat , 'heg agatrist the rules to admit him in that state of obnubila tion, of coiVitte . he tag/ refitsed the entree. The alarm created in the first year of paataia tee vex hardly equal to the ruckshin caused by this native leitarph l Y at file gete of the house, and several policemen had to be called to' relttove him. From that time up to the present day, Mr. alurphy has fluctuated in his lodgings, which he has divided between the workhouse and the bridewell, after the following fashion of patronage : He would spend a month or less in the house, then take his discharge, go out, get drunk, go back to the house, kick up a " shindy," get charged on the police, and get another month in Kirkdale, by order of a magistrate. This little game he has carried on for a period, that enabled the police to say that Mr. Murphy had patronised them at least a hundred times during his career. His last act was described by Mr: Cart at follows On Saturday, the prisoner took his die: ehirge ftent the h'dsiee, went out and got drunk, and, whilst in that state, he retetited; got Wet the workhouse wall, and nearly killed himself in this oaietatiou-in fact, ne man in sobriety could have done what he did *Rhona hieing his life, and it was a perfect miracle how he escaped. He (continued Mr. Carr) is a most unfortunate man when drunk, but when sober he is not a bad fellow. If he is let out now, he will manage to get drunk again, and then come to the howe and create a disturbance. As he is quite destitute, I will take him into the house; but an officer should be sent with him, for he could not trust himself. The prisoner tried, but failed, to raise his head from between his shoulders, thanked Mr. Carr, and ntede £1 rev that he'd never offend any more. Tke "native altirpha )1 lens then escorted by an officer to his former lodgings at BrewnloWaltill, Wheee he remains at present, according to law. (Before Messrs. Rurcuiso rind PEEL.) VOLUNTEERS IN TROUBLE. Two young men, named John Legerwood and Edward M'Ewing, who were dressed in the uniform, belonging to Colonel Brown's division, were brought up by Inspector Blair, and police officer 630, on the following charge. Mr. Bluck was for the prisoners. The officer said, at twelve on Saturday night he heard there was a row in Netherfield-road, and on going forward he found a pork butcher, named Maguire, Who lrees there, and four volunteers in uniform, the prisoners being two cif them, and a civilian. Maguire complained that one of the men had as'saulte'd him ; but as he did not see the assault, he said he could not interfere, but asked the man for his name and address, which he rehired to give, and then the officer said he would lock him up. A scuffle took place, and the officer took the man into custody, and then the civilian, who had a knife in his hand, cut the officer on the fingers ; the prisoners rescued the other man and the civilian, who got away,Thut the prisoners were captured. James Maguire, John Leonard, and Thomas eorkhill, stated that they went into a public house where the prisoners and others were, when the velunteer party accused Maguire of having sold bad pies in Foxastreet, but this he denied, as he never lived in Fox street. An altereation followed, and when the witnesses got into the street, they veere assaulted by the volunteer party. In' reply to Mr. Block, the witnesses would not swear that the prisoners struck them at all. Mr. Block said the real facts of the' case were these, the prisoners seeing a man With a knife, apparently abbot to attack some one, they volunteered to arrest him, and fo'r their kindness they got locked up 'them selves. He (Mr. Block) could call witnesses to prove these facts. Mr. Peel Ido not think we shall trouble you. Mr. Hutchinson: I think they are sufficientlyepunished for this peccadillo. Let them be discharged. . . HUSBAND AND WIFE. • John Mark, a shoemaker, living in Pellew-street, charged his wife Catherine with attempting to kill him. Mr. Bluek appeared for the prosecution, and detailed a variety of dream stances connected with disputes between the parties, which arose out of the drunken habits of the prisoner. On Saturday they had a quarrel, and the allegation of the husband was that the prisoner knocked him down, and with is knife threatened to stab him to the heart, and he felt she would have done so, but he was rescued by two persons who entered the house at the time. The husband and two witnesses were called to prove these facts, and a third was called to corroborate the statement, but he admitted that the prisoner acted in her own defence, as the husband struck her with a stick twice and knocked her down, and she only took up the knife to defend herself. She was therefore discharged. ECLIPSING THE MOON IN SUN-STREET. 'One of the clearest cases of robbery before the eyes that ever came before a court was presented to their worships yesterday. Cecily Ackroyd, a repulsive-looking female, was charged by a respectable-looking man, named William Bearsworth, under the following "bare-faced" circumstances :—He said he was in Sun-street, the previous evening, and had his fine concave "specks" on his nose, gazing at the moon, when the prisoner came up and asked him for a contribution of sixpence; but not being in a benevolent humour he refused to comply. She, however, persevered and caught hold of him by the tail of his coat, and pulled with such energy that he imagined she would extract that portion of the garment ; and then he concluded it would be better to comply with the sixpenny request, and he did so. He imagined that he was then free, and was about walking on; but the prisoner, not being so easily got rid of, declined to part from such good company, unless he gave her 2s. 6d. (Laughter.) This he positively declined to do, and after some time she said, "Well, as you won't give me the half-crown, I will have your spectacles," at the same time snatching the concaves and darting aw ty with them, leaving him hardly able to see his way after her. She was pursued, captured, .and the glasses recovered. The prisoner to Id a rig marole story. at the end of which she was sent for trial at the sessions. SERIOUS CHARGE ABOUT A BILL OF EXCHANGE. John Constantine, a pe:son well known about town, was brought up by detective officer Patrick, on a charge of having issued a Bill of Exchange for £25 knowing it to be forged. The prisoner is a tall stout man, with grey hair and hardly any whiskers, and was described as an auctioneer and house agent, at 7, Pembroke Gardens. Mr. Kehoe stated that the charge against the prisoner was for uttering a 3,111 of Exchange which he knew to be a forgery for £25, and thereby defraud-. ing Mr. John Orr Bradburn, a provision merchant, Dale-street. The bill parported to be drawn by Mary Anne Pigott, of 70, Upper Pitt-street, on and accepted by Jane Jenkins, 178, Waiertree-road, and encicirsed by the drawer to Eliza Curry, 2, Stafford-street, then by the prisoner and John Cook to Mr. Bradburn who cashed it. Officer Patrick said on the 21st of September he got a warrant for the arrest of the prison , r, and called several times at his house, but was told he was in the country. He met him that morning in Dale-street, and told him the charge, when he said he got the bill from Mrs. Curry, and that Mr. Cook, a beerhouse keeper in Vernon-street, took him to Sir. Bradburn who cashed the bill, and Cook had a por tion of the money. Mr. Black said, as Mr. Cook's name had been mentioned, he appeared for him and denied the state ment. Tars. Pigott was examined and denied that she drew the bill ; never gave any one authority to draw it for her ; never saw the prisoner but once, and knew nothing about him. Mrs. Jane Jenkins, of 178, Wavertree-road, stated the acceptance on the bill was not hers ; she never gave anyone authority to sign it for her. John Cook, beer-h use keeper, Vernon-street. said the prisoner asked him to cash the bill, but he realised. He introduced him to Mr. Bradburn, who cashed the bill, witness putting his name on it as a witness. He denied having got any money out of the bin except 10s that prisoner owed him. Mr. Bradburn was examined, and stated that he cashed the bill on the strength of Mr. Cook's credit, but he did not then mind that Mr. Cook endorsed it as a witness only. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he got the bill from Mrs. Curry. He was a remanded for the present. STEALING COAL. airaßluck appeared on behalf of air. henry Johnston, coal merchant, Leeds-street, to prosecute three men who were in his employment, for stealing a large quantity of coal. One of the men *as . a confidential person in the employment, and from the evidence of Wilson, Scaife, and Eaton, detective police, it appeared that all the prisoners entered into a con spiracy, and took large quantities of coal out of the yard, and sold it at low rates. The prisoners were sent for trial. TOO FAST DRIVING. A respectable looking young man, named John Stewart Earle, who said his father lived at Rock Cottages, Isle of Man, was charged for having stolen a horse and trap, the property of Mr. T. Lloyd, Newington. Mr. Black defended. It appeared that on the 13th September, the prisoner went to Mr. Lloyd's, hired a horse and trap, went out with some other persons, got drunk, sold the whole for O. and lost the money. Mr. Block asked for a remand, as he stated the prisoner's father would arrange the matter. The prisoner was remanded THE HARVEST AND THE CORN TRADE [From the Hark -lane Express.] Without a set in of fine, drying winds, there seems little hope that the remainder of the grain, if saved, would be in fair condition, sunny weather at this late period, on wet ground, brings with it such a volume of dew. Some quantity of wheat, even in the south and midland counties, remains to be carried, and the bulk of all grain is yet jeapordised. Scotland is better off. Ireland, too, is in great neril with much to be gathered. The agricultural districts of that country show a defi ciency of 28,000 acres this year with growth of potatoes. As maize is the principle substitute, it is sad to hear that heavy rains in Southern Europe arc beginning to threaten this important grain, which now keeps con tinually advancing. With such weather the market here could not fail to rise, the average for the week being about 3s. per quarter. There has been an unusual demand for dry foreign red of low quality, to help off, our own damp new by mixture ; and as our own stock of old is nearly used up, it seems doubtful whether we shall have enough old foreign to meet our necessi ties. Throughout the Continent very little is left, and much is wanted here, while America is quite exhausted, and the shipmen ts latel y made are n early all new, with re been some yhas have in Sp a i n an d the condition of some not well re ported.

ARTS , . THE LIGHT OE THE WORLD. By NV. RohnEit Hunt. Now on view at the Gallery of Messrs. T. Ape* and : 49115, ief the rainy pictures which have been exhibited in the cOn'fifty, none offers the extraordinary claims to notice which *e abinit to paint out as belonging to this certainly the ni'CL - t impressiie work that has emanated from the school famed pre-Raphaelite, of which Mr. Hunt has decidedly taken' tt-e lead. It is a painted parable, combining in one figure several of the types under which the Christ is spoken of in the Scrip tifrei ; and, to speak of it as a work of art, it, is concei'fed in a spiYit imbued not only with religious inspiration, but a learned Eitertraintance with Holy Writ and a deep sentiment of devotion, and pat into visible form with consummate skill as reglttds the design and the peculiar illumination of the subject, find wrought up in all the details with a perfection of finish that surpasses anything yet produced in the same medium—oil-4iy. any artist of this country. Yet, exquisite as is thelnanipulafitin, it is on far higher attributes that we depend for making good our assertion that this is to be looked upon as a picture conveying lessons of the highest import to Christians, and as serving to impress, with vivid reality on the mind, the Saviour in a four-fold impersonation, as God, who had taken upon himself the person of man; as the " light of hig h the world ; " as a priest after the order of Meichisedek ; an d the character in which these words represent him--"behold I stand at the door and knock ; if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and sup with hi m an d he with me " Rev. iii 20. In the representation of "the word made flesh," the figure comes as near perfection as hunnni faculties can attain—the beautiful countenance, "as the sun shineth in strength," is radiant with life, and is iderttiNed At once as that of " a man of, sorrows," who waits with resignation to see if his knocks at the door are to be answered: knowing but too well how "the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not." Then, as "The Light of the World," that light (Or word) that John came to bear witness of, and whose own words are—" T am come a light into the world that whosoever believeth in me should not abide in darkness," our Saviour is seen bearing a lantern, on which we trace the seven stars which represent the seven angels or ministers of the churches, which are to spread the ligiit atifog the Gentiles. Christ has the halo of divinity atoiind his head, and the crown of thorns bud ding into leaf, emblematic of the accepted sacrifice of his humiliation and sufferings, conjoined with which is a regal crown, proving His sovereignty as "King of kings, and only ruler of Princes," himself the "Prince of peace." In his capacity of priest, after the order of Melchisedek, "a grand High Priest," "that is passed into the heavens—Jesus, the Son of God," "who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life," he is clothed with a crimson Mantle; richly embroidered with precious stones and metals, and this Is clasped with the symbolical jewels of the Levite priesthood; but these decorations are strictly allegorical, for by the eternal priesthood of Christ, the Levitical priesthood of Aaron is abolished. The hour is night, as is indicated by the moonlight which plays on the ivy over the door, and falls here and there on the person of Our Saviour, mingling with the arti ficial light from the lantern with magical, but radiant effect. The'warm glow likewise illuminates the face, and sparkles in the beaming eyes of Our Lord. The parable is still further sustained by the import conveyed by the door, at which the Saviour knocks, being over-run with ivy and bramble, and choked with noisome weeds ; while the hinges are rusted from disuse, and thus typify the sinner, perverse acrd impenitent, who, like "the deaf adder, stoppeth his ears and will not hear the charmer, charm he never so wisely." The degree of elaborate accuracy with which every point, however minute, is wrought out, is as wonderful as the thought evinced in the invention of this allegory, than which nothing ever painted suggests so much for serious contemplation, or is more capable, if carefully studied and digested, of im proving those who examine it. in a proper spirit, The engraving will be not only an ornament, but a valuable medium of religious instruction—a beautiful specimen of art, if we are to judge by the etching, and one of those suggestive subjects that may will find a place in every Christian family.—Communicated. THE ROAD MURDER. A new turn has been given to this case by the arrest of Elizabeth Gough, who, at the time of the murder of Francis Saville Kent, was the nursemaid who slept in the same room with the unfortunate child, and who will be placed at the bar at TroWbridge for examination. The circumstances which have led to her arrest are as follow :—Mr. Slack, the solicitor, of Bath, who, under the sanction of the Home Secretary, and at the request of the Wiltshire magistrates, has been prosecuting an investigation into the circumstances of this myste rious murder, having completed his enquiries, for warded the depositions of the various witnesses to the Attorney-General. That learned functionary, having given them an attentive perusal, appointed Wednesday last for a consultation, which was attended by Mr. T. W. Saunders, of the Western Circuit, and Mr. Sink. The result of the conference was that an opinion was signed jointly by the Attorney-General and Mr. Saunders, to the effect that there were sufficient prima facie grounds for issuing a warrant for the apprehension of Elizabeth Gough, and that the interests of public justice required that a public examination should be instituted. On the following day Mr. Slack had an interview with Messrs. Ludlow, W. Stancombe, W. R. Stancombe, and the other magistrates of the division, who have bad the conduct of the case from the commencement, and, having laid before th em th e opinion of the Attor ney-General and Mr. Saunders, a warrant. wae issued for the apprehension of Elizabeth Gough, the execution of which was entrusted to Mr. Superintendent Wolfe, by whom Elizabeth Gough was taken into custody and brought to Devizes on Friday. It has not yet trans pired whether the prisoner is charged as principal or accomplice in the murder, or as an accessory after the fact. This will, of course, be shortly made known, when she will be brought up for examination. , At the request of the magistrates of the division, Sir John W. Awdry, chairman of the Wilts Quarter Ses sions, who has had great experience in criminal inquiries both in this country and in India, will preside. Mr. T. W. Saunders (instructed by Mr. Slack) will conduct the case on behalf of the Crown; Mr. Edlin, of the Western Circuit (instructed by Mr. Dunn, of Frome), will watch the proceedings for Mr. Kent and his family, and it is expected that the accused will have the benefit of the professional services of an eminent solicitor. The inquiry is expected to last at least three days. There are about 20 witnesses for examination, the evidence of the majority of whom will be made public for the first time. FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER. (From Le Follet) The redingote form of dress will inaugurate the season, and can be worn either with a pointed or a round body. Of course, with the latter, the skirt must be set in large plaits. Flounces will -be the ornament mostly used on silk dresses; either several narrow ones to the knee, or one large, surmounted by narrower ones, or by a trimming. Passementerie, which has so long played an important ,part in toilettes, will continue so to do; it is much em ployed both for robes and mantelets. The naletot is the form of mantle most used, and is made either in light cloth or silk. The burnous is still worn with either a round or a square hood, though our elegantes seem to prefer the capuchon vieille femme, on account of its being more becoming to the fig,nre. Both paletots and burnous are generally trimmed all round with some opposite colour. It is as yet too early to speak of Cashmere shawls. Llamas are much in vogue on account of . their lightness and elegance. A form of ileglige has lately made its appearance, and has created a great sensation. It is a species of peignoir, with large plaits at the waist, and is accompanied by a small pointed heod, finished by a bow of ribbon. They are generally made in Cashmere, but of course any other material more or less costly maybe used. In the country dresses arc worn slightly looped up, so as to take the skirt off the ground. Underneath is worn a coloured petticoat, either black and white, or black and gray. No staring colours are allowable. The tight sleeves, which have been laid on one sick* during the summer season, have again made their appearance. Nothing is at present considered so thoroughly distingue as extreme simplicity. Dresses, mantles, bonnets—everything, as unpretending as pos sible. This luxurious simplicity is the best criticism of taste and style, for the various articles must be well made, and worn with elegance and taste, or they make both wearer and clothes appear common, while, on the other hand, if bien faites and bien portes, they give an aristocratic cachet, which cannot be obtained by any other means. For evening dress tartalane and Chambery gauze are much worn, generally with a foule of narrow flounces. With white the ornaments are generally of some light colour, such as pink, pale blue, or apple green. The skirts of ball dresses are made with a train, and expanding like the tail of a peacock. The trimming is very varied; it is rare, however, to see any reach above the knee. Narrow flounces, perhaps, form the most general style. In light materials the robe is as wide at the top of the skirt as at the bottom, while in other arti cles it is frequently made on points, and quite flat at front and on the hips. It is not probable that this fancy will be lasting. Bouillons form one of the favourite trimmings for light dresses, as also on robes for evening wear. Long paletots, demi ajustes, with a collar and wide sleeves, are considered the most fashionable. Some are made in a mixture of cotton and wool, and with pockets, have a smart appearance. Grey, trimmed with a ribbon, and with large buttons of the same colour, is a favourite. Those in black taffetas are more dressy. They are either plain, or finished with a guipure passementerie, or a choux of ribbon. We have noticed some with an insertion of guipure all round, and a white ribbon passed under it. The fronts and seams were stitched with white. The contrast is rather violent, and to some tastes may not be acceptable. • Its originality is, perhaps, its principal recommendation. Zouave pickets will, most probably be in vogue this winter. their smart appearance and great convenience are strong recommendations in their favour. They will be slightly wadded. The loose style of dress introduced by the paletot will no doubt prevail, more or less, for sonic time. It will be difficult to find a substitute possessing equal advan tages. • `A. tarlatan dress; the invention of one of our leading dressmakers, has caused so 'much excitement, that a de scription will not be uninteresting to our fair readers. It was trimmed With very narrow flounces, which reached ., a little above th e k nee , t r i m m e d w ith a ruc h e o f tulle illusion, and the top flounce headed with a ruche of larger dimensions than those on the other flounces. The ceinture. of the same material as the dress, with long ends, and trimmed with the same description of ruches, formed a kind of scarf. The sleeves and body were covered with ruches of the same character we have already described. A single rose, with light foliage placed on one side of the head, is the most appropriate coiffure which could be found to suite so fairy-like a dress. There is a tendency to wear dresses open at front, they arc even now occasionally seen. They will no longer be worn so closed. s It is expected that revers will be fashionable. Embroidered gmmpes in mu s li n, and a moderate sized collar, are worn with these dress es . Some are also made in Valenciennes with insertion. Cages are much diminished in circumference, some are almost flat at the top, increasing downwards, which imparts a very ungraceful appearance to the figure. As a rule, paletota in silk take the l ea d, and burnous predominate in wool. Each has its advantages on certain occasions, and in its turn is better adapted flay particular use. MUSICAL, DRAMATIC, LITERARY, AND ARTISTIC NEWS AND GOSSIP. On Monday (this day) Miss Pyne and Mr. Harrison commence the winter season at Covent-garden with " Lurline." Madame Celeste is also about to open the Lyceum with a novelty from the pen of Mr. Torn Taylor, entitled " The Brigand and His Banker." The Theatre-Royal, at Melbourne (Australia), is now regularly used on Sunday evenings for religious services. The clergy of the Episcopal, Independent, Presbyterian and other denominations have pre ac h e d id terns, and the services, as in London, have been. crowded. Mr. Trig= has already made several engagements for the Saint James's. Among his company are Mr. Emery, Miss Herbert, and Miss Kate Terry. Mr. Fechter goes to the Princess's, and makes his first, appearance in the English language ; and Mr. John Brougham, the Columbian Irishman, appears at the Haymarket in a comedy of his own writing. Miss Clara Seyton, says the Era, has entered into the matrimonial state, and is now Mrs. Vaughan. The room in which the late Mr. Albert Smith gave his " Mont Blanc" entertainment has been thoroughly redecorated, and will be epened this day (Monday) with a series of panoramic views, forming an entertainment called " Hamilton's Excursions to the Continent and Back." During the two hours occupied by the dioramie tour the visitor is taken to Italy, France, Austria, Russia, Prussia, Switzerland, and the Rhine, and the description of the views will be given by Mr. Leicester Buckingham. The amateur actors of the Savage Club have per severed in their labour of love to get together some pro vision for the family of the late Robert B. Brough. Judging that the great success of their efforts in Liver pool and Manchester and the large unsatisfied demand ter tickets at both those places, warranted a repetition of the experiment, they have given two supplementary performances there. At both places the success has been very great, and the result a very large sum to the fund. The lighting of the Royal Lyceum Theatre has been entrusted to the well-known firm of J. Depies and Sons, who have carried it out with very great success. The 17 crystal chandeliers all around the theatre are of richly cut massive crystal. The arms and pans are also very richly cut. Above the tent is formed eight beautiful tassels, which on the whole form one massive piece of cut crystal, adding much to the beauty of the theatre. Mr. Horace Mayhew, says the Critic, has returned from a pleasure trip to Canada and the United States, and the reading world will probably have the result of his impressions in the shape of a small book. It has 'been arranged that the fund raised for the benefit of Mrs. Thomson, daughter of the poet Burns, should .be invested so that she may receive £l5 half yearly. New currency is being given to a rumour which dates from the death of Lord Macaulay, leaving his history unfinished, that Mr. Thackeray has in contemplation a maguunt opus—a history of that Anna Augusta whom, Dr. Johnson remembered as a " stately lady in black velvet and diamonds," and who touched him for the evil. A new picture gallery, 200 feet by 35 feet, is being erected on Broadway, near St. Thomas's Church, New York. A collection of paintings from Dusseldorf and elsewhere will be placed in it. The Autumn Session of the Female School of Art, late of . Gower-street, now of Queen-square, Bloomsbury —where,' in Government despite, it finds a roof over its head--will open on Ist October. The only additions made to the National Portrait Gallery during the recess are an excellent portrait of Cecil, Earl of Salisbury, the " little beagle" of James the First; and a very curious full length of the " British Solomon" seated in the robes of the Garter. Alterations have been made in the position of several of the pictures, so as to enable visitors to examine more favourably those portraits which had hitherto been hung furthest from view. The Gallery will re-open to the public without necessity of tickets as hitherto. During the winter months it will close at four o'clock. THE COSTLINESS OF PROVING INNOCENCE.—The Rev. Mr. Hatch in a recent statement to the public press states, that upwards of £7OO was expended in the pro ceedings which established his innocence of the offence fur which he had been convicted. This sum was exhausted in fees, counsel, and witnesses, quite indepen dent of any lawyers' bill ; for, (he says), his attorney, Mr. Holt, of Bruklesbury, volunteered to take up the case, and gave his services gratuitously, else another £7OO would have been wanted and justice been defeated Stipp* Antriligurt.

Both the Ointment and Pills are composed of rare balsams, unmixed with mercury or any other deleterious substance. They are, accordingly, as mild and safe as they are powerful and efficacious. NEW INVENTION.—ThE NEW FOUNTAIN Pax.---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 writingnib, and this barrel can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly clean without ant - chance of being corroded. Another feat ure in this pen is, that one dip 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 g i ve a full verdict in its favour.
