In the cat hedral of St. Michael they , both prostrated themselves before the tombs of his Majesty's ancestors. On quitting the cathedrals their Majesties, accompanied by the court, walked to the Palace of the Kremlin. At its gate they were received by the court clergy with the cross and holy water.

THE BROUSIL FAMILY—This heretofore favourite house of amusement, has, since the vaeation, undergone con siderable and most desirable alterations. It is now, and we say it with pleasure, one of the handsomest houses of the sort in Liverpool. The season commenced last evening, under the able directory of Messrs. Thomas, who, during the last season, produced such a variety of entertainments as gave general satisfaction. If we were to augur from the opening night, we might say that this house will prove inferior to lane during the coming season. Th e B rous i i Family, has already been spoken of with eclat in the Continental journals, and without at all submitting our judgment to be governed by any exterior opinion, we can say that this family realised all our expectations, and we were glad of it, for it too frequently happens that we suffer our selves to be guided by what is termed " judges. We pretend not to more judgment than other mortals, but we must say the six members of the family are well worth hearing, and cannot fail to be appreciated. In the vocal department, Miss Barwick is sweet and pleasing, although she lacks enunciation. Let her overcome this defect, and she will become a pleasing and favourite singer. Oa a first night, it would be, however, not fair to deal too critically ; may say, on the whole, that the "opening night" but we was successful, and that the Brousil family mast become deserved favourites with the Liverpool pubic. DOG FIGHTING v. MAN HUNTING k BATTLE PREVENTED. —For some days past the police -- been in posses , ion of a great scent, namely=that a great fight, and, very likely, as a sequel, a great man fight, ' take place some where about town. Of course the on the alert," and, of course, the "canine n the alert also. It has been said, with what not state, that in order to be a good detective, the man must be acquainted with all sorts of thieves and modes of thievery, and this gives the man a sueeriority over his victinas. In the present case the " dog fanciers," by their superior knowledge, out-flanked the man hunters. At six o'clock yesterday morning, the police force mustered strong in the locality cf Copperas-hill. Why they had got up so early was no secret, even to themselves. Other people could tell a trifle, as well as the officers, why they rose with the cock or the lark. The fact was, a " great dog fight" was to come off between two pugs—one the representative of glorious " Ould Ireland" from Dublin, and the other the Champion of Lancashire, called " Pincher," or " Snap," or " Tiger," or anything else you like. " Mickey Free" was the name of the Dublin hanimal; but, in this instance, the police became his friend, EO that he may be classed amongst quadrupeds lucky dogs," for the constables would rot allow any " freedom" "at all, at all," to be taken with him by " Lancashire Pincher." It may be all very well to prevent dogs biting men in the dog days, but the lewitimacy of pre venting dogs from biting each other is questionable in the extreme, for it is written— 8 were Let dogs delight to balk and bite.' The police of Liverpool recognise no hence the great " free and easy " that was to have happened yesterday morning, did not come off—or rather did not come on—in the neighbourhood of Copperas Hill aforesaid. The match was made some time ago, and the Dublin dog was backed for some hundreds of pounds to eat the Liver pool dog in three snaps ; whilst the Lancashireoniaps " laid on the heavy," largely in support of their favourite " Pincher," or " Towser." We were told that upwards of fifty backers of " Mickey Free" came from Dublin on Saturday night, to witness this fine display of canine science—that is, the display that did not come off—plague on intermedling polcemen—yesterday morning at six o'clock. Now, the principle, of which we spoke, of setting a " thief to catch a thief," was never more manifest than it was on yesterday morning in the locality of Copperas-hill. The police were up early, but the " fancy" were " wide awake" long before the officers. The police knew they were going ; the " fancy" knew the same thing just as well as the police did. The police concluded they would "make a haul ;" the " fancy" resolved that nothing of the sort should happen, and they were right. The police chuckled at the very idea of the " fun" that would be before Mr. Mansfield, and the " fancy" laughed in their silence at such an Utopian conception, resolving to have " fuu" somewhere else. At six o'clock it was a remarkably fine morning ; both parties, that is the police and the " fancy," were watching each other through scouts and advanced guards— something after the fashion of the Russians and the Allies on the morning of Inkerman—each trying to ouffl ink his opponent. The " fancy" made a feint, in order to draw on the enemy ; the enemy was cautious, but advanced. The Redan, in the locality of Copperas-hill, was, however, to be taken, and an assault became necessary. This was done in the very best style, but the enemy was too cute by three score for the besiegers. On entering the citidal, it was found to be like a banquet hall—deserted. During the time the police were examining the " eurio.ities" of the " evacuated fort," the " fancy"— including the dogs and all, were marching in triumph down Copperas-hill! A good retreat is always preferable to a bad fight, so thought the " fancy ;" but their triumph was short-lived, for the flying artillery of the Blues brought their guns, alias their hard stick batons, into play on rear of the retiring foe, and made them march in double quick time out of—that! The enemy now beg.an to fly in great disorder, as their ranks were broken, and they ran hel er skelter. They had made a provison for this, not unforseea catastrophe, for they had appointed a place of rendezvous to collect their scattered forces. The Blues, having driven the enemy from their stronghold, were content to watch their manceuvres for the remainder of the day ; but whether " Mickey Free" and " Lancashire " Pincher" met in deadly conflict, backed for seer ral hundreds aside, the despatches saith not. If, however, they did, it mist have been outside the borough boundaries of Liverpool, for, up to a late hour yesterday evening the Blues were at their post, so that nothing wrong happened within that magic circle. ANOTHER ROYAL MARRIAGE.—The Dresden Gazette says that the Archduke Charles Louis of Austria will, on the 6,h of September, make a formal demand for the hand of the Princess Margaret of Saxony, and that a grand fete will be afterwards given at Court. POST OFFICE LEGIERDEMAIN.—It is rumoured that the wizard of the General Post Office has discovered a trick by which to get any amount of augmented duty performed not only without additional, but at a reduced cost. The secret of this legerdemain lies in putting extra work ad infiaitunt on the clerks without a farthing ,of extra pay, and in making sorters at £1 a week operate as established functional ies.— Civil Service Gazette. AN EN ER GETIC - ----- PAR:VER.— Last week (says the Li nco l n Mercury) a farm 1 - f under each farmer at Ryhall was seen carrying wheat held to hi s d we lli ng , conve yi n g a s _ea from a arm.

THE L ONDON DISCOUNT COMPANY.—At length the prospectus of the new Discount Company, so long spoken of, and which is to be called the London Discount Com pany, has been issued. The capital is to be £1,000,000, in 50,000 shares of 4:20 each. Th e directors are gentlemen of the highest respectability and influence. The pros pectus is brief, merely stating the objects of the company, and there can be no do u bt that the money will be readily subscribed, this description of enterprise being extremely popular among the speculative and general public.; THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, TUISDAY. WHEAT CROP OF THE UNITED STATES AND OF EUROPE. (From the Cincinnati Prices Current, August G.) The harvest being now pretty well over, and the wheat crop of the country mostly secured in good order ; and being in possession of very full and satisfactory informa tionfrom all parts of the country, we are enabled to give a pretty accurate estimate of the extent of the crop of the present year. It is true that, generally speaking., the yield per acre will not be a large one—not quite an aver age--but a greater breadth of land was sown with wheat last fall than ever before, owing to the prevailing high prices current for wheat, together with the favourable weather, both offering strong inducements to the farmer to cultivate this grain, and the result is that the quantity of wheat gathered the present harvest is greater by fully ten per cent. than has been gathered any previous season; and, not only this, but it has been secured in the best possible condition. Last year the crop was a very good One, but fully one half of that in the Northern States was damaged by wet, and the one-fourth of that thus damaged was so badly in jured that it was unmerchantable ; but, notwithstanding this, we exported more wheat and wheat flour to foreign countries than ever before in any one season, except, per haps, 1853, and had a surplus left, as the receipts this suinwer prove ; and there is no doubt that should the crops tail in Europe even partially, we shall be able to send to England and the Continent more flour and wheat by twenty-five per cent. than we did last or any previous year, should prices be sufficiently high to induce ship . We have carefully examined the-advt in regard the present wheat crop from the different States, - and el justified in giving the following figures as the quantity t gathered in each State this veal Bushed Bilshels. 1,200,000 50'1 500 150 o'o )LICE COURT.-YESTERDAY (DEFORE MR. ALDERMAN TIOLME.) INGRATTTUDE.—A shabby and dirty looking fellow, named William Hayes, alias Page, was charged by a very nice looking and well dressed young woman, named Anne Brown, with having stolen a purse and 17s 6d from her. The girl told a very curious story, the amount of which was to the following. effect—and, from the difference of appearance of the parties, much surprise was created. The girl said she met the prisoner in the street, and at cnce took a great liking to him. She took him to a public-house, and treated him to some drink. She had her purse, which contained 17s 6(1, in a bag, which she tarried in her hand, and which contained personal articles, as she Was on a visit in town. She went to another house, and, after spending some time there, they went into the street, when the prisoner wanted to carry the bag, but she refused, when he snapped the bag, broke it open, and took the purse out of it, and she then seized him. and they were straggling for it, when a police officer came up and took the prisoner into cusiody, and found the purse in his hand. His Worship said, according to the girl's own showing, he must discharge the prisoner. Susricious.—Detective officer Sullivan brought up a fellow named Peter Rickett, on a charge of having four brass taps, apparently belonging to a brewer, in his possession, On Saturday, the prisoner offered the taps for _ - sale to a marine-store dealer, named James Follows, in Preston-street, but, as he could not tell where he got the articles, he handed him over to Sullivan, who now asked for a remand, on the ground that he had not had time to look for an owner. Remanded accordingly. J POCKET P.lCKlNG.—lsabella G r iffi n , a we ll dressed female, was charged with picking the pocket of a la ly named. Sarah Bird, in St. John's market. On Saturday evening, the complainant was in the market, making some purchases, and, whilst so engaged, her pocket was pi c k e d of a purse and 3s 6d., which she saw the prisoner throw from her, as she was seized by a gentleman . The prisoner was sent td awl for three months. THE TEA SrsALTNa.—Edgard Perry, the person charged with stealing 431 lbs. of tea belonging to Mr. Syres, of Ranelagh-street, was brought up on remand. The facts of this case have already appeared in onr piper. Mr. Dodd appeared for the prosecution, and having called all the witnesses, the prisoner was fully committed for trial ILLEGAL PLEDGlNG.—Catherine Reed and William Ebbles, were charged with illegally pledging a watch, belonging to a sailor named Joshua Lawrence. Mr. Bluck defended. On Friday week the prosecutor lost his watch and chain in Peter-street, and it appeared that the man was identified as the person who subsequently pledged it. In reply to Mr. Bluck, the prosecutor denied that he had given the watch to any one to pledge. There was £2 lent on the watch. A witness who was put up for the prosecutor, in cross—examination, admitted that she took the watch and gave it to the man to pledge. His worship did not think the evidence sufficient, and discharged the prlsorierg. Ar OE OE BEER !—T*o persons, who sported great nioliStaclios, arid who gave their names as John Boyd and Andrevi Cordry, were brought up by officers 499 and 440, on the following charge i—tt appeared that about four o'clock on Sunday morning, in consequence Of infordiation communicated to the officers by a Mrs. Hannah Cotter, who resides in Plumbs -street, that they went to an ale and porter store, kept by MeasrA. Wolfe and Co., in the above street, and there they saw the prisoners—one coming out of the centre of the store with two bottles of ale in his hand—the other was standing at the door, having the keys, as he was the storekeeper. On asking what they were doing there? they said they were working all night, in order to com plete an order for a ship. On enquiring of the owners of the store, it sppeared that they had no right to be la the store. Boyd was the warehouse•keeper, and kept the key of the stores, and the other prisoner worked in the store. Mrs. Cotter said, about three o'clock in the morning she heard a noise, and on looking out of her window, she saw the prisoners and gave notice to the police. In reply to the officers, the prisoners, when arrested, said they had come to prevent an escape of water. (A. voice : It was the ale that was escaping.) Mr: Goodier appeared for the prisoners, and cross examined Mrs. Cotter, in order to show that she had a spite against the prisoners, in consequence of the loss of a favourite torn cat, hot she denied that she had any " .1" rudffe" against them on that account. Ur. W o lf e _ proved that the prisoners had no business in the store, except to steal, at the time in quetion, The defnce set up by Mr. Goodier was, that the wife of Boyd had quarrelled A.D. 8. d. 1 with him on Saturday night, an d th a t b e ca ll e d on t h e 1803..58 10 1 other prisoner to go to the store with him to sleep there 1804..62 3 all night.

He then kept a public house, but from his having drank too deeply, and neg lected his business, they wer e n o t a ble to ge t an y " stuff . " to sell. About two years ago, he turned her out of the house, since when they had been separated, she having been partially maintained by her father and friends. She had had a situation, but was compelled to give it up, because the prisoner was always annoying her, and then she went to live with Mrs. Hughes, in a street off Paddington. On Tuesday night he went there, and fired a pistol, and then broke the window by throwing a large stone into the room ; and on Friday, he accosted her in the street, used most filthy expressions towards her, struck her with an umbrella, and threatened to run a knife into her as long as his arm. She said she did not require any assistance from him, all she wanted was not to be molested, and to have her friends kept from being annoyed. Mrs. Hughes was calle I, and corrobo rated the evidence of the complainant as to his breaking her windows and throwing the stone into her room, on Thursday night. Mr. Roby, who appeared for the prisoner, said he was instructed to deny the whole charge. Mr. Mansfield, after ha v ing characterised the conduct of the prisoner as most malignant, fiendish, and abominable, ordered him to enter into his own recognisances for £5O, and to find two sureties of £25 each, to keep the peace, and be of good behaviour for six months, at the same time informing him that, if he was set at liberty, and another complaint was made against him, he should require larger securities, and for double the time A CONARDLY SCOUND/IgL. - William Dunn, a mechanic, living in the locality of Brunswick-road, was charged with assaulting the landlady of the Brunswick vaults, in Oswald Street. The complainant stated that, on Saturday night, she saw the prisoner in the Belgrave vaults, reckoning up his money, when she went and asked him if he did not intend to pay her what he owed her. He replied, " I have nought for you," and, after some few words, he stamped upon her toes, and when she endeavoured to push him off, he struck her a violent blow in the face, which made the blood gush from her nose and mouth. With some difficulty he was secured, and a policeman was sent for. The daughter of the complainant went into the town with the police man, and, upon her pointing him out as the wretch that hsd struck her mother, he gave her such a blow on the ear, that felled her to the ground. The policeman (187) witnessed the last assault, but had not time to prevent it. Mr. Mansfield ordered the prisoner to pay a fine of £2O- and in default of payment, to be imprisoned for six months with hard labour. CHILD DESERTION. —Mary Cavanagh was charged with deserting her child on Wednesday last, by leaving it in an entry. The nurse at the workhouse stated that the prisoner had been delivered in the workhouse, and went out on Wednesday last; and in the course of the after noon the child was brought back, having been found in an entry with its clothing nearly all taken off. The prisoner admitted that she had put the child in the entry, and left it there, but stated she was in drink at the time, and could not find it when she went to look for it. Mr. Mansfield said he scarcely ever heard of such abominable and unnatural conduct on the part of a mother. He had no doubt but that she had stripped the poor infant of its clothes to procure drink with. He ordered her to be imprisoned for one month, with hard labour. THE ACCIDENT AT GOODWOOD.—Bartholomew is now enabled to take both diving and walking exercise, and has been pronounced out of danger. INSURANCE OF FARMING STOCK.—The insurance offices have found it necessary, in consequence of the frequency of fires which take place in farming stock, to raise the rates on this description of property to 4s. per cent. The offices which have come to this determination, insure, we believe, five sixths of the farming stock thus protected in this kingdom. THE NEW INCUMBERED ESTATES Acr.—The new act to extend the period of applying for sales in the Incumbered Estates Court in Ireland and to amend the acts on the same, contains a clause of considerable importance. Under the former acts there was no appeal without the permission of the commissioners, but now appeals may be made as of right. Applications for sale may be made within five years from the 28th July, 1853. By the former act the period was limited to three years, which would have expired last July, COUNTY COURT.-YESTERDAY. (BEFORE JOSEPEE _POLLOCK, ESQ, JUDGE.) FRAUD SUMMONSES.—A large number of fraud sum monses were heard and disposed of, none. of which possessed any public interest. A FEMININE FREAK WITH TROUSERS.—FOWLER V. NATLon.—This was an action brought by Jasper Fowler to recover £2 from Joseph Naylor, laceman, of 25, Chnreh- The plaintiff was what may be known as an "elderly young man," having rather a lachrymose expression of coin- The defendant being absent, was represented by Mrs. Naylor, who came attended by a formidable bah of female witnesses. The, plaintiff stated that he was engaged as sbopman in Mr. Naylor's, at the rate of £52 a year, and with the arrangement that he was to have one week's notice in the event of dismitHal. He alleged that he was dismissed without any such notice, on a Wednesday, and claimed £l, as wages for that week, and tl in lieu of notice. Mrs. Naylor alleged that the plaintiff himself told her twice that he would leave, and although she requested him to remain until Mr. Naylor returned from the Isle of Man, he persisted in leaving on the Wednesday. She added that the plaintiff used very ' - s0 to her and one of the young ladies in the TRADE REPORT.-MONDAY. h whom she hinted that he had had some LIVERPOOL. d be would explain the whol COTTON. —We have again Po report an active market to-day, the demand has been very general, an' with plenty o ff ering full price* are obtained.

There is no doubt whatever that the increase in the culture of wheat has been far greater during the last five yeats than it has been in the previous ten years, because the inducements to cultivate it have been stronger, owing to the high prices at which it has ruled. The Russian war, by which the supplies from Russia were cut off, and the failure of the crops in France last year, created a large demand, and kept up prices far above the average. The last advises from Europe would lead to the conclusion that in France and Spain the wheat crop does not promise well ; and we find orders for flour and wheat from France in the New York market, which have been brought out by the last steamer. But then, the high prices which wheat commanded in all the European markets last year, have stimulated the cultivation of it in all wheat-growing countries, and there seems to be little doubt that the breadth of land sown in all those countries bordering on the Mediterranean, is vastly greater the present than the previous year, and should the yield be good, of Whicl4 hoWever, we have no definite information as yet, there can be no doubt that . the quantity exported from these countries the coming season will be large. In Russia, owing to the Unsettled state of the country consequent upon the war, it is cleat that agricul ture has been neglected to a great extent, as is clearly demonstrated by the fact that there was no Wheat of consequence to be hai in any of the Black Sea or Baltic ports of that country at the close of the war, and as large numbers of the agricultural population were employed in the armies of the empire, it is doubtful that the amount of Wheat exported from that country the corning season will be even moderate, The last advices we had from St. Petersburg speak favourably of the crops, however. After the ekperience of last year, no faith whatever can be placed on accounts of the result of the harvest in France, and it is only by the acts of the Government that the result can be known. Last year it was publicly announced that the Government of that country would not interfere in the purchase of breadstuffs, and yet we tbund its agents in this country purchasing largely during the whole of last fall and winter; and, though this was denied at the time, the large quantities of flour sold by the French Government last April and May at auction settled the truth in the case beyond a doubt. In England and Ireland the crops looked well, at the last advices, and if the weather, the great terror of the British agriculturist, should prove favourable, there is no doubt that the crops will be abundant. .BLE SHOWING THE YEARLY PRICE OF WHEAT PER QUARTER AVERAGE FROM 1641. s. d.

PRESS HOAXES.—It seems that hoaxes on the press are not confined to England. The statement in the continental papers that picture galleries, costly furniture, &c., have been destroyed by the firing of the troops during the late insurrection at Madrid turns out to be mere fiction. One of the p rsons named as having claimed an indemnity of £90,000, the Duke de Medina, Celi, and the Duke of Alba, have denounced the whole stsry as a " tissue of falsehoods." Co aosrat's INQTJESTS.—Yesterday the borough coroner (~ hero e were glad to see resume his duties in good health, after his recent attack of illness) held the following inquests: —On the body of Anne Stephenson, aged thirty years, who died suddenly on Sunday morning, in the house of Mr. John Hudson, spirit vaults, corner of Leigh and Williamson streets. It appeared that the deceased resided with her father in Pddiham, and that for some time past she had suffered from disease of the lungs. She had been stopping at Bootle and returned on Saturday to Mr. Hudson's, who was a friend, to spend a day at his house. On Sunday morning she was found dead on the floor, and a quantity of blood, which she had thrown up, about her. Death was the result of natural causes, and the jury found a verdict accordingly.—On the body of Mrs. Catherine Scott, an account of whose death appeared in our paper of yesterday, the jury found a verdict of accidental death, and, at the same time, made a presentment, which the coroner would forward to the dock committee, strongly recommending some protection to be placed about th e pi ers t owar d s th e head of the Prince's and George's dock gates, as these were in a very dangerous state at present.—On the body of a man, name unknown, found in the river. The deceased was six feet high, and was dressed in black frock coat, black satin vest, grey tweed trousers (with straps), short Wellington boots, white cotton stockings, and white linen shirt, and black satin stock. There was no papers to identify him, nor was there any money found on his person. He appeared, from his hands, not to have laboured. The jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned." Subsequently the body was identified as that of Mr. Chester, a solicitor, residing in Wellington road. He had not been seen since Wednesday, on which day he went to attend a sale at Crosby.

Contr.—Our market was fairly supplied with new English wheat this morning, the quality and condition of moat of the samples very indifferent ; and it was disposed of at prices 5s and 61 per qr below those of Monday last. Much of the decline must be attributed to int/riority of quality. Foreign wheat was a slow sale at Is to Os de cline. Americin flour Is per hrl cheaper. Norfolks were sold at 48s per sack, being 4a to 5s below last Monday's rates. Barley was fuily as dear, and fine malting qualities much wanted. Oats were in fair r. quest, and factors were enabled to obtain Is more money than on this day se'nnight. Beans and pease underwent no change. CATTLIL—We have had a very large number of beasts, but the average quality is not improved; choice kinds are therefore not much lower; inferior are lower, and several remain unsold. Although the supply of sheep and lambs is smaller, late prices ca not be main tained throughout especially for big fat sheep. Trade is dull for all kind., but a short supply prevents much reduction.

Wwfinkr v. GORE,—James Wilton and Tames Harter, cart-owners, of Liverpool, were plaintiffs, and Michael Gore the defendant. The action was brought to recover 165., being the difference between the price paid and the money received for a mare l which the plaintiffs purchased froth defendant. Mr. Hime appeared for plaintiffs. It was stated that defendant, who sold the mare to the plaintiffs, warranted her as being quiet, and undertook if she did not prove so, to return the money. The plaintiffs accordingly paid 410 for her. She turned out to he very unquiet, and was sold at Lucas's for £l3 2s. 6d. The action was brought to recover that amount, with some additional charges on the sale. After hearing the evi dence, his Honour expressed his opinion that the case was not sufficiently made out, and, accordingly, non-suited the plaintiffs. " SCIENTIFIC THEOLOGY TO TILE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIME Sir,—lt is, I regret to say, necessary to trouble you with a few words in reply to the letter signed " Verax," in your paper ofThursday last, which came to hand on Saturday. In the first place, then, let me call attention to the fact, that the writer still thinks it prudent to wear his mask, and thereby disentitles himself to all confidence. Secondly, be it observed, that "Verax" has not withdrawn one of the " false accusations" which he has made, and which, although anonymous, I took the trouble of ptoving to be untrue Thirdly, " Verax" repeats the absurd clurge of want of candour, wl►ich be has been so often challenged to bring in his own name, and concerning which I repeat, or.ce for all, that if he ventures to do so, I will prove that it is equally unaccount able with all his former charges, which have been refuted, but never yet withdrawn. • Fourthly, " Verax" denies that he is the author of the letter signed " W.," but confesses to have written under the title, "Save me from my friends." I wish him joy of the exchange. Any one that has endured the pain of reading the letters which have appeared on what is humourously called " The Inspirational Controversy," is aware that the worst have been those which have borne the signatures which be acknow ledges, and that the very best was that which, it appears, I was mistaken in imputing to him. An apology is indeed due to the amiable writer, " W.," for having confounded him with " Verax." With his argument, of course, Ido not agree, but the spirit which animates it commands respect. Lastly,—The closing paragraph of" Vcrales" letter evidently belongs to " the higher branches of mathematics," in which I have avowed myself to be unable to cope with hint I shall merely add that, when he has candidly confessed his error, in making charges which he now knows to have been unfounded, and refrains from alleging others equally untrue, under the cover of a fictitious signature, the public will be better in clined to consider him a suitable representative of " the gentlemen of Liverpool." Until he accedes to these terms further correspondence is only waste of time and space. Assuring you of the regret with which I have trespassed upon your columns, in reply to my persevering assailants, and them of my best wishes, in every point of view, I remain your obedient servant, Josua B. LOWE. Ist September, 1856. TEMPERANCE Mr. Hereorth has received the following letter on this important movement : Sir,—The committee of Kensington Band of Hope desire me to thank you for the patronage of your mime, and to say our fete of the llth inst. was most auspicious and happy, and that we had more than 7,000 persons present, and that Mr. G. Tarlton, superintendant of the T division of police, who, with his men, were on duty on the occasion, writes me : "I have no hesitation in saying, not only from my own observation, but from the report of those under my command, that although there were many thousands of persons present on the llth inst., on the occasion of the great rural festival in the grounds of Gore House, yet decorum and propriety of beha viour were not once violated." A great feature this in the holidays of the people, and clearly attributable to the sober and improved habits connected with our temperance principles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS IRVING WHITE, Secretary, Aug. 22, 1856. 5, Church-street, Kensington. L. Ileyworth, Esq., M.P. STOCK IN TRADE EXEMPTION.—Among the acts of the late session was one exempting stock in trade from being rated to the poor rate. The exemption is to extend from the Ist October next for one year. DEFALCATION OF AN INCOME.TAX COLLECTOR.-011 Friday, the commissioners of income and property tax for B'ackburn, after an investigation, suspended and arrested Mr. W. B. Illingworth, the collector of the income and property taxes for the borough. The defalcations of this officer amount to upwards of £l,OOO. Ho was on the same day lodged in Lancaster Castle. The sureties are ample, and will almost cover the entire loss. THE KING OF PRUSSIA has presented the Emperor of Russia with a large medallion in gold, four inches in diameter, on which figure the Russian and the Prussian eagles. The edge of this medallion is formed of sixty brilliants, and the colours of the eagles are represented by precious stones. The value of the whole is estimated at 30,000 gold thalers. The Queen has sent to the Empress the insignia of the order of the Swan. At the end of the chain is a swan, the plumage of which is formed of bril liants. This present possesses a total value of 50,000 gold thalers. POLITICAL STAGNATION.—The once eventful 25th of August has passed, and not a single objection has been served to persons on the borough electoral list, by either the liberal or the tory party; and only two new claims have been put in. The revising barrister, therefore, will this year have nothing to do when he pays us his annual visit-- a strange contrast, certainly, to the doings of former years. A more remarkable proof of the total prostration of poll. tical parties could not be found than the above fact furnishes. How long this will last time only can reveal. — .Hants Independent.
