She became gradually worse, and died at noon the following day. The cause of death was apoplexy. FOOT RACE.—On Monday, a foot race came off near Eastharn village, between two Liverpool men named Jones and Walter. l'he distance run was 160 yards, and the sum contested for £l5. Jones was the favourite and came in first. On Sunday week, two brothers named Parker, one fifteen years old, and the other nineteen, were bathing in the river Ribble, at Settle, when the younger got out of his depth and was sinking, when his brother attempted to rescue him, and unfortunately both were drowned. SUSPENSION OF Two POLICEMEN.—On Wednesday Mr. Rushton suspended officers 105 and 581, for having taken a man to bridewell, and then declining to make a charge against him, and also for drinking in a public house. The annual dinner of the Protestant Benevolent Society took place at the Derby Arms Hotel, Kirkciale, on Thurs day. Mr. C. S. Rowland occupied the chair, and the evening was spent in the utmost harmony. The society has been established some years. and ranks amongst its Members men of considerable standing. It is under the Patronage of Lord Sandon, Sir H. Douglas, and Mr. Jus tice Cresswell. SHOPLIFTING.—On Friday. John Kennedy and Mary Evans, were committed for trial, by Mr. Rushton on a charge of stealing a quantity of drapery goods from the shop of Mr. Briscoe, in Oldhall-street.

About half-past seven o'clock a smash of the window was heard, and on the porter hastening to the spot, he found the prisoner with the teapot in her hand. SECESSION TO ROME.—Rumours have for a long time been prevalent, that the Rev. John Milner, B.A. of Queen's Coll ege , i nten d e d to f o ll ow the steps of Mr. New man and his friends, and eow there is no doubt whatever remaining. Mr. Milner was publicly received into the Roman Catholic Church at Preston on Sunday. He per formed the duties of his curacy up to the very time of his departure for Preston.—Oxford Herald. CORN AND SAND.—Last Tuesday, a little girl went into Mr. Thomas Barcrott's shop, at Nuttallane, Rams bottom, near Bolton, and accosting Mrs. 8., inqu , red how she sold her brown sand. " Whv," replied the shop keeper, with some surprise ; "a halfpenny a quart. to be nre." "A half-penny a quart !" with astonishment re joined the girl, " why, has it not dropped, now as the corn law is repealed? Mother said it would be cheaper when bread dropped in price." STABBING. —O n Friday, at the Police -court, two sea men, named Carter and Johnson, were charged by John Read, first mate of the ship St. George, wilh assaulti• g him on Thursday evening. It appeared that these men had refused to work after six o'clock, and when ordered to do so by Read, used most abusive language toward, him. They then went down into the forecastle and were followed by the mate. A quarrel, of course, ensued. Words came to blows. Read was seized by Johnson round the neck, and held tight, while Carter gave him two stabs with his reefing-knife. The prisoners were both fully committed for trial WRECK OE THE RAMBLER.—ThiS ill-fated steamer left Liverpool on Saturday week for the first time since her fatal collision with the Sea Nymph, in the river Mer sey, and the Athlone steamer, which arrived in this port on Tuesday morning last, brought the intelligence that she got on the North Maiden Rock, near Belfast, during a fog, about four o'clock on Sunday morning, where she lies with her hold full of water, and very little prospect of being saved. Happily both passengers and crew got safe to shore. Her cargo, which consisted of about 150 tons of guano and other property, was being landed iu small steamers in a damaged state. She w a s b oun d f or Sli go.

It appeared the prisoners were in a public-house singing and drinking, when some one tapped at the window, and ran away. Upon this, they rushed out, and seeing the complainant, who happened to be passing, struck him air:d another person who was along with him in the most unmerciful manner. Brown's father hearing the cries for assistance, then came up, when one of them struck him with a poker, and knocked him senseless on the ground. The assailants were then secured be ►he police. The elder Brown was so much injured as to be unable to appear in court. The prisoners were remanded until he should be able to attend and give evidence.

The cindering and gravelling of the drives .. and also of the play-grounds, has been a work of consi derable time anti labour. The quantity of material con sumed for this purpose has been enormous. For instance, there has been laid on the four small play -grounds in the Queen's Park, 125 loads of gravel. The trees have, generally speaking, borne transplanting very well. Some trees of more than 30 fart in h e i g h t have been remove d w i t h out sustaining any injury. Alto,. gether, The trees and shrubs, purchased for the three parks, in addition to those already on the ground, have cost the committee about £BOO. A great number of plants, including a collection of American plants, a number of flowering shrubs, roses, annuals, &c. have been planted in the flower-garden of the Peel P , rk, the roses-iron and borders of the Queen's Park, and in the parterres of the Philips Park; and owing to the long drought and extreme heat of the weather, it has been absolutely necessary to water these regularly for some weeks past ; and in this way, the peculiarities of the weather and the temperature have involved an expendi ture of not less than £2O a week ; of herwise about £5OO of valuable shrubs, ptintt;, and flowers would have been totally destroyed by the heat and drought. We may just notice that prudential considerations have led the committee to abandon their original intention of having a b )wling-green at each park. Not only would the outlay be large; but the cost of keeping them in good condition would be very heavy, involving for each green the wages of one man constantly employed in watering. cutting, and rolling the grass. It has been determined to substitute gymnasia, with all the usual apparatus of climbing and leaping poles, swings, horses, &c. Sixty open seats (20 feet long and a foot broad), are about to bet constructed, 20 for each park; these are to put in shady, cool places; and there are also to be a number of rustic seats of old tree stumps, logs of timber, &c., placed in appropriate situations.

H e therefore expressed hionlym self cordially in favour of the clauses. Mr. HUGH H ORNBY said the vote of the Council would be whether they would accept of the bill as it was now re turned to them, or reject it. The two clauses had been introduced by the House ot Lords. If they obtained the powers which they were required to apply for, th , y would not be called upon to build warehouses where they were not requisite--as, for instance, round the timber docks. or docks for coasters. He had never been an advocate for the clause, but, having gone so far, he was of opinion that they should accept the bill. Mr. Alderman EARLE enquired of Mr. Moore what amount of xpense bad already been incurred in forward. Inc the hill ? Mr. B. MoonE said not so very much, and that the whole had arisen from the opposition to it. (Ilear.) Mr. EARLE —Will the warehouses clear five percent. ? Mr. EVAN S--Aye and more. I should beglad to lease them for 124 per cent. (.1 laugh.) Mr. 13RAM LEY MOORE said the bill was R most impor tant one as regarded the effect it would have in affording means of export and imuorr at a cheaper tate. It would enable them, indt ed, to underwork every other port in the kingdom. Here they would have a dock at the east end of the King's Dock, in immediate contiguity with the railway tunnel, which would be accessible without car tage. [Mr. Evans remarked that that was the case now as regarded the King's Dock.] Another great advantage would he that cattle, sheep. &c., could be conveyed to the bottom of the tunnel, by toe intended railway along the inner quays, trom the North Docks ; and this, he con ceived, would have the effect of bringing back what they had lost of that trade, in favour of Fleetwood, and would also increase it—the inconvenience of driv ing the animals through the town to the Edge Hill station hieing done away with. %%NI respect to the warehouse-owners, when it was understood tha , warehouses were to be built all round the docks, he had seen Mr. Birkett and several of the owners who would have had a right to oppose it, and the subject of the half. deck floors of the Albert Warehouses, to which t ey were opposed, was spoken of in consultation with them. He had been somewhat misrepresented on this point, it being imputed to him that he bad nor attended to their remon strances.

Robert Glass, the mote of the packet Sherrivore said that on Friday morning, ahout eleven o'clock, while he was in the packet, about two miles outside the Bell Buoy, he saw the body of deceased floating in the water. He had the corpse taker on board, and it was on the vessel's arrival at. the port, taken to the dead-house. The face was much disfigured.—Thomas Perry, a boatman, said that he knew the deceased. Eleven days ago, deceased, ano ther man, and himself, were in a boat in the Formby Channel. The wind was blowing fresh, and there was a heavy swell on the bar (or bank).

DEATH BY FIGHTING. --On Thursday, about one o'clock, John Frost and John Davies, together with some other parties, were drinking together at a public-house in Vauxhall-road.
