ANNUAL AOCOUNTS OF THE MERSEY DOCKS- AND HARBOUR BOARD. The annual accounts of the Mersey Docks and Har bour Board have just been published, and of these we subjoin it carefully 'prepared abstract. The accounts themselves, which include a full View of the financial condition not merely of the Dock Bfiard,"but also of the receipts and disbursements under _the 'important; heads of docks'and lights, and dock dues received at the port,. are necessarily voluminous; ; and although sufficiently explicit to show all the money transactions of the great estate, they are neVertlieleli's6numeroui items and details as to Ix uninviting to the general . reader: Convincad of this we h ave , w i t h considerable laboutt, prepared-latch a vidimus of these important accounts as will, we trust, render them both comprehensible - and interestink. . • ,„ The abstract, it will be seen, is arranged under five different heads, the •first exhibiting a general statement of the liabilities and assets of the estate ; the second presents an abstract of the capital, and the third of the revenue; the fourth, denominated the _ Conservancy account, shows the receipts and payments under various conditional arrangements; while the fifth displays the decimal progress of the trade of the port for the last century. • GENERAL STATEMENT OF AFFAIRS, As at 24th June, 1859. LIABILITIES: Bond Debt, bearing an average rate of interest at £4 98. id. per cent £7,184,323 2 3 Interest outstanding due; and Insurance ac count Balance of Compensation due to Town of Li verpool 147,528 12 9 2,318,00 0 e T0ta1....

The year 1840 ' shows a still more rapid rate of increase, the ships in that year being 15,998; of the aggregate tonnage of 2,445,708; and . the duties £178,196 4s. For 1850, tbe increasing rate con tinues equally marked and equally gratifying. In that year the ships are stated at 20,457, with an aggregate tonnage of 3,536,337 tons, and duties to the extent of £311,743.75. 7d. ' • while for the nine years ending 24th, of June, 1859, the number of ships is 21,214, with an aggregate tonnage of 4,451,969 tons, and an amount of duty equalling no less than £366,939 7s. 2d. Fulh a continuous and progressive rate of increase while in itself highly gratifying as showing the skill and procedure with which the affairs of this vast emporium have been managed, is scarcely less interesting, and not less important, reflecting, as it does, in an indirect manner, the enormous Andes with which the general commerce of the country has advanced, Materials on hand £176,973 7 8 Open account for exchange of - • _ _ - land Conservancy account : defi ciency to be deducted from next year's receipts Landing stage account, &e., due by tcAvn of Liverpool Cash in Bank and on hand 18,094 19 - 3 517 1 11 £3,948 7 0 278,548 9 9 Deduct Balance of Liabilities in exces, of Assets £378,08g X 9,272,269 9 5 This amount of Liabilities has arisen as follows : Expense of Birkenhead Works, &c £621,307 19 10 Ditto of Liverpool ditto 0,116,738 7 6 Compeniation to Town of Liverp00l Expenseßf • Act of Parliament As above £9,272.,269 9 5 ABSTRACT OF CAPITAL ACCOUNT.-1838-59, Bonita raised this year.

Of these liabilities £621;307 are for the expense of works at Birkenhead, and that £6,115,73A have been incurred for the expense of works at Liverpiiol; £2,518,000 of them being compensation to the town of . Liverpool. The annual revenue from all sour ces, it appears, is £638,600. Of this rev enue £379,116 are expended in interest and annuities,' £60,937 are for repairs, and the Landing-stages cost annually £5,683. 'Salaries absorb £22,788, and various other items of expense consume a lare portion of the residue. as it ia certainly the Probably the most interesting, most gratifying portion of this t l bular.statement, is to be found in its concluding part, viz..,Lhat which shows the greatz ; -indeed marvellously- rapid_ ien.crea Liverpool i th_e state of that-trade which has now plac ~m the foremost rank of commercial towns of the k],ngao . m, or rather t -of, the world. From the table now under eonsideration.it appears that in the year 1752 no record was kept of the number of vessels, - or - of their tonnage, trading to the port of Liverpool; but the amount of duties then levied was only £ 1 ,77 6 , B s. 2 d. In 1707 the number of vessels is set down at 1,371, the tonnage for \that year is not given, but the duties amounted to £2,336, 158. The year 1800 shows us a more careful state of accounts, and also a large increase in the prosperity of the port. The number of ships in that year is set down at 4,746, with a tonnage of 450,060 tons ; and the duties levied at £23,379 13s. 6d. In 1810, the ships were, 6,720 : the tonnage, 734,391 tons; and the duties, £6.1,782 _s. ; for 1820, we have 7,276 ships, BANKRUPTCy•COURT.—YtntriDAr [Before Mr. Commissioner PERRY.] In Ile Aunitll, PinToN.—This bankrupt was an iron monger it , Great George-street, Liverpool. The last examination! was appointed for to-day, but Mr. Dodge appeared ov his, behalf, and stated that thebanirupt was arranging with his creditors for the purpos of superseding trie bankruptcy, and therefore, as he had not filed his bufavce-sheet, he had nowr to apply or 'an adjoarnmentr-111r. Sandys, who Appeared for the' assignees, offered r.o objection, and his Honour adjourned the sitting till the TAth instant.. Is. Re WILLIAV EkSTWOOD.—This bankrupt, a joiner and builder at Fairfield; came up on application for his ,certificate. Mr. Francis, on behalf of the assignees, was merely instructed to draw the attention of the court to the fact of tike bankrupt having made an , ass ;ignment only t . waive months before the bankruptcy, and also to intimate that he hadt contracted a ba&debt, contrary to the at.lvice, Bien him by his principal creditor. His Honour sa=d; as the assignees did' not press their objections . , he saionidl award a second-cliiss certificate.. • In re LEvi COBB.- -This, bankrupt, who kept the restaurant ur.dar the Angel Hotel, in this town, applied to pass 'his last .examinat ion., ITT.. Dodge appeared for the assignees, Mr. Cotton. for a creditor, and Mr. Sandy for the bankrupt. The bankrupt was' examined by Mr: Dodge with refereLee to the furniture in his cottage at Bootle, which bad been seized by - the landlord, and which was not accounted for in his balance sheet. The bankrupt stated that it was .an oruissionl which he could supply.—The court thought the balance sheet should be amended in that particular, and ordered' an adjournment to the 24th instant. In re ROBERT DitLx.—This bankrupt; described as a plumber, painter, and paper-ll:Luger ' in Park-road, came up on his last examination. Mr. Keating . Taylor appeared for the assignees, bra the bankrupt was un represented. Mr. Cotton submit ted a proof on behalf of a creditor for the amount of a contract which had not been cOmpletecl; and as the assignees- opposed it, the consideration thereof was 4 adjourned to.the dividend sitting. , Mr. Taylor shortly examined the bankrupt, but did not oppose his passing.--His Efonour, after reference to the balance sheet, allowed him to puss, and the certificate sitting was appointed for the 4th of November. COUNTY COURT.-YESTERDAV; (Before J. K. BLAIR, Esq., Judge.)' , ALLEGED MALPRACTICE.-- , SIIITIT v.. Lioxix—The plaintiff in this action, Mr. ,George R. Smith., is, a sur geon, residing at No.. 31, Peel-street, Park-road; and. the defendant, Daniel Lloyd, a person residing in the • neighbourhood. Mr. Hime, solicitor, appeared for, the plaintiff, anti Mr. Thorneley for the defendant. Mr. Hime briefly stated the case. The plaintiTiSotTbt to recover £1 55., for professional services ; and thedefence set up was, alleged want of skill. Mr. Smith, after having been twenty-one years an army surgeon, had recently came to reside in Liverpool. In the.course of his practice, he attended the defendant, far what he conceived to be a sprained ankle. The defendant would tell them that he had a broken leg ; but Mr. Smith alleged that the fracture, if any, must have taken place after the time of his attendance. Mr. Smith called—He produced a medical register to show that he was a duly qualified practitioner ; aad then' said he had been an assistant-surgeon and surgeon in the army for twenty one years. He was in the , 67th Regiment • for five years, and served in the West Indies. He then joined the 65th, and served with them in America.. He after wards joined the 99th, and went. to Australia. Receiv ing half-pay, he settled in London to privatepractice ; but when the Russian war broke out, he volunteered his services to Lord Panmure, and was sent out to the Crimea. He had subsequently come to reside in Liver pool. On the 6th of April he' was called, to see the defendant, who was suffering from a sprain of the ankle joint. He treated it with a cooling lotion, and also gave internal remedies. He paid ten visits in all, and his charge to poor persons - was 2e., 6d, a visit.. The last time he visited the defendant,. he found him down in the parlour, and understood that he had walked down. He said that he was very much better ; and he left with the instruction that time and rest, with the application of cold water, was all that he required. About a month after' he saw defendant's wife, and on saying, " I suppose your husband is quite well now," she said, " Oh, no ; his leg was broken, and he was obliged to go to Evan Thomas." His reply to that was, " Did you ever know a man with a broken leg to walk ?" —Cross-examined by Mr. Thorneley': The plaintiff said the defendant told him that he had been kicked by a horse, and his wife frequently complained of her husband's intense sufferings, asking' if he was sure there were no , bones broken. He always replied• that there were not. A person having either a splintered bone or a dislocation, could not use his foot at all. When he saw defendant last, which was on the 28th of April, he stood on both his feet and walked.—By Mr. Hime : Had made a strict examina tion of the .foot when he first came. Understood that the kick from the horse had taken place a considerable time before. Mr. Thornely, for the defence, and with , the view of showing that the leg was broken, offered a certificate from Mr, Evan Thomas, who was unable personally ,to attend. His Honoiir said that Mr. Thomas must attend, if possible. They could not take a certificate in a case of that kind, where a professional man's reputation was at stake. The case was then, ad journed till three o'clock, when we believe 11(1r, Thomas, junior, attended, and spoke to the ankle being in a frac tured or dislocated condition. The plaintiff re-called, persisted that it was a sprain and not a fracture. His Honoiir took time to consider, and announced that his judgment would be given on the 31st instant. Thitwas the only can of public interest during the day. , - THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS' COMMITTEE A. meeting of the Committee of the Select Vestry, charged with the management and control .of these schools, was held *yesterday, in the Board-room, at Kirkdale. Mr. Owens, the chairman, presided ; and the other members present were— , Messrs. Critchley, Syred, Archer, Whitty, Satchell, Cooke,. and Turner. A report was read from Mr. T. B. Browne, the GOvernment Inspector of Schools, stating that he had examined the children: He thought that the girls generally were making very fair progress ; and that the boys in the 'first; second, seventh,' and eighth classes did great credit to their teachers. But he was sorry to say that the state of the four intervening classes of boys was far from satisfactory, and that he found them decidedly deficient in reading, writing, and arithmetic. He thought it would be well if the preient head-master should exercise the same general superintendence over the whole school as Mr. Hagger used to do. At present, the boys in the seventh and eighth classes were likely to fall off when promoted to a higher class. The masters of the classes complained of, were called in, and the report read over to them. They were informed that they were only retained, contingent on improve ment, within the next three months. The usual returns were submitted, showing the num ber of children in the schools to be 435 a le n sr d 40 a girls—total, 8 3 7. During the last quarter b e en placed in service, twelve boys and nine the total number of inmates th ere were si c k, twenty-sixOf boys and thirty-five girls. Mr. SATCHELL drew attention to the dietary of the schools, with a view of aseertainin,,,c , what, if any, im provement can be made in it. He was prepared to expect opposition. It might be said the Poor-law Board fixed the dietary, and all they . had to, do was to carry out their instructions. It might be said the children had sufficient food, and th e p roof was, that they left some on their plates. It might be said they were generally healthy, and it was better to let well alone. It might he said they were better fed inside than outside the walls, and that a very small increase per head would make a very large aggregate amount at the end of the year. He admitted the plausibility of these objections, but denied their validity. Mr. Satch ell th en called in the Governor to explain certain apparent discrepancies in returns which had been Submitted ; then came to, the gist of his complaint, which was, that a shin of beef was all the flesh meat which the children have from .Thursday till Sunday. The soup on Saturdays must be like distilled cabbage, so no wonder that th e c hild ren l e f t i t. T he .question for thera was, whether they could not improve the diet; so as to implant in the children the seeds of a healthy constitution, • The CifAntatAN said there was no definite motion before thecOmmittee. Ifdissatisfied with the diet, Mr. Sat chell had better move for a committee. The dietary table showed that theY had flesh meat three times a week. In Ireland, they got meat only, once in twelve months. Were they to. feed pauper children better than working men's children outside ? Mr. SATCRELL then moved the appointment of a sub-committee; to consider the' questiorr, c,onsisting of— Messrs. Syred, Turner, Whitty, and himself.. The committ•ee. then adjourned. - 4 - THE GREAT EASTERN. [nun( ot,it OWN REPORTER.] As stated in the ..X)•t1ie11 .Pelqy Times of yatterdi4',. the Great Eastern arrived- off' Holyhead on Monday, about half-past twelvefeclock. At about: four she . anchored within the breakwater,- the intervening period' having been occupied Inicxperinicuts to test her steering and other .qualities.

Occasionally she rolled a little; but yid not pitch at: all';; and although exposed id the- fall swell of the Atruntic'wzre, no one , on board seas sick_ The subjoined notes of the voyage can hardly fail to prove interesting. As previouslr stated,. the Great Eastern quitted Weymouth on Saturday( afternoon,' about three. o'-'cleck. The engines- for working the 'paddles were solely and immediatel'under the direction of Mr. Scott 7 Rhssell ; and those fOralrivina. - the screw were underthe contra' of Messrs. Diftltan and Watt, it baying been- distinctly understood' that neither Mr.. McLennan , nor any other of the company% engineers had authority toanterfere or direct in • any way. Mr. Thiasell and Messrs. Bolton and Watt,:,had each a large staff employeditr working the vessel. After a good deal less trouble than might • halm• been expected, on Saturday, about four o'clock,- the Great Eastern was got fairly' under - weigh, the engines , being turned very slowly , at first. Some time-'was spent in getting several invited guests on boanA.and about twenty minutes before siX.the voyage may be said to havelfeguii. The paddles were-then making nearly 10 :.revolutions a minute, and the screw: about 30, with less than,2otbopres sure-of steam in either set of boilers. At half-past six.,'. the log showed that 13 ,knots had been run, andthe ship's course 'was made - WC:NM: By this time the speed of the engines had been accelerated ; the computation heirg--- Paddles, 11; screwy 33. With a light wand and smooth water, everyhodY on board was much dblighted;, asad the leviathan sped. down Channel, keepirgl: about eight or ten miles off the coast, the vessel running as steady as a rock. At a quarter-past ten the ship,,was• abreast of Start Point ; ands in , another hour, she passed that triumph of genius the Eddystone Lighthouse; the' gleam , of the-light- being clearly distinguished lfrecni the• deek, although the night was a- little hazy, and thelight was , passedifite or six ntiles•to the south. On Simdaymorning-the weather had freshened, and gave promise of a smart - breeze with .la tumbling sea; but as; yet there was •no perceptibla -indiention of an Atlantic." roll," which alone could try.the -steadiness in the water of an iron. monster 680 few long. aindi 85 feet wide. Falmouth was passed during : .the nitht - ; and the first laud made out on the morning was Lands- , . End, of which the ship was just abreast at six\ o'clock. The run to the Scilly Islands was made-by eight o' - b'ee', and another-half-hoar brought the ship•alOng to.the south of the islands and off the Bishop's:Rock, sane distance to the West. By- this time the windihad.risemto a brisk breeze, and there Was a decidedilonglemyrground swell. At a little after half past-eight in' the-morning, the shies Collin' waS brought round;' and. her- bow pointed direct for- Old Kinsale Head; which laity N. half W„, distant about 140 miles. The wind nearly N.E., and; the, combined effect of it, and the, swell, soon made the big ship . more lively- in her motions than it, had- been anticipated. Fer-upwardsollan hour she hadan unmistakeable pitch; , and she rolledi so much as to lead some on board to call: that: motion "-enormous"—which it- was not. 'Between:. nine and' ten o'clock, Captains Harrison. decided that he would for the first time unfurlthe sails of his giant ship; partly with a view of airing them, partly also to see what they would do towards-increasing the speed of the ' vessel or easing ~her engines—aut last, but not least, with, intent to steady, he n; " - which result, as all used to steamers must know, was.sure to be secured. Opera tions were commenced about ten o'clock, and by half-past ten the Great Eastern was " under all fore-and-aft-sail" That is to say, on each etthe• six masts there wasone or abdut as much as would ever be ordinarily Need, ex cept those for the setting of which the yards on the two ." square-rigged" masts. would be required. The result was admirable. Despite the ground swell the ship went ahead steadily, the. (cant" or " list" fr® the sails being scarcely 'perceptible ; and without any special exertion on the part of the ,engines, thee Great Eastern tripped along merrily, "doing" more than she had ever done before—clearing at least fourteen and a half knots, or nearly sesenteen miles an hour, When sail was begun to t 0,3 made at ten o'clock, the speed of the engines was—Paddles, nine revolutions a; minute ; screw, thirty. Al half-past ten, or as soon after as all was straight on deck, the visitors and a number of the crew assem bled in the dinner saloon, for divine service. The. Rev. Mr, Nicholson (a very largo shareholder in the com pany) officiated. He read the prayers.for morning ser vice, and the Litany ; and preached an appropriate sermon, taking as his text Matthew, c. 24, v. 44. Dur ing the service, the 109th Psalm was sung, the capital band of the ship leading with the air ; and after the benediction, the " Hallelujah Chorus" was played by the band. Just as the service commenced, an accident of a serious nature to the sufferer, although not as effects the ship. One of Mr: Russell's engineers, named John M‘Guigan, while in the act of examining some of the " bearings " of the paddle-engines, had his hand frightfully crushed. between the trunnion and the engine-room rail. The injury was so severe as to nearly tear off the hand, leaving it attached to the arm by , only a small piece of muscle. The poor fellow was speedily attended by Drs. Slater and Watson, belonging to the ship. On con sultation they recommended amputation, but M‘Guigan would not consent, and the idea was g iven up. 'The injured limb was then bound up in the most careful manner, and 'up to last (Monday) night the sufferer continua to do well, although the surgeons do not be lieve he will ever recover the use of his hand, even although amputation may be avoided. Soon after the sails had been set, Captain Harrison, being so far satisfied as to the combined working of the screw and the paddles, was desirous of trying the effect of each separately, requested Mr. Russell to dis Connect them, in order to allow of the ship's being worked by the screw alone. This request Mr. Russell refused to comply with. At noon, the log showed that 134 knots were being made. .Sail was still kept on the ship ; the swell had increased; and the wind had strengthened to a very brisk breeze, and veered somewhat nearer the beam, and became therefore less serviceable. The paddle-engines were making 10 revolutions, and the screw 35 or a minute. There was at this time still some roll perceptible in the ship, and the pitching was more decided than before; but there was nothing disagreeable, although some vessels in sight had evidently a very lively compound motion. Some impromptu endeavours were made to ascertain the greatest angle of the Great Eastern's deck under the roll; and the worst calculation was said to fix it at 10°. The observation taken at noon showel the ship's position to be—lat. 50.30 N., long. 7.20 W. ; or about 57 miles from the Scilly Islands as marked on the chart, and 85 from Kinsale Read. At two o'clock the paddles were making 114,- revolu tions a minute; and the screw, for about a quarter of an hour, went 44, and then fell to 40. This was the greatest speed attained with both; the pressure of steam NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. of a dr . ag in the water Paddles---Screw - loose Screw fixed —Paddlds Bose Paddles fixed Eddystone Lizard Rena of Kinsale IThlyhead being never more than 201 b. to the inch in the paddle boilers, and 211 b. in those of the screw. At a quarter 'after three, the speed of the paddle's was 10 ; that of the screw, 39. The swell and the breeze were still fresh; and, the passengers remained conscious that they were . at sea. Between six and seven o'clock in the evening, the ship being off Kinsale Head, all hands were "piped" to take in sail ; and it was then calculated that a good 10 miles had been got over in something more than ten how's, The course of the ship was laid up Channel for Holyhead ; and during the evening, the wind and the swell both diminishing, the ship went steadily ahead, without check or mishap. MoNDAy.—At an early hour this morning the "great ship'? continued steadily OR her course r but was kept out, towards the Irish coast, and it .*as near noon before the passengers sighted Holyhead. There was again a tolerably fresh breeze as the sun got up ; and a fairish specimen' of an Irish Channel sea "chopped" nastily about the ship. But the experience of the gale off Dover, during the fi:st trip, showed that .that kind of thing could not affect the big.. ship." Apparently an arrangement had been come to between the captain and Mr. Russell ; for, sootr after noon, preparations were made for trying , separately each set of engines. The screw was stopped about a quarter after twelve ; and the paddles were tried, first with the screw "loose" (that is, disconnected, so as to revolve as it &used, owing to - the: ship's motion), and then fixed so an , necessarily to be-somewhat Afterwards, the screw' ira.4 tried, will the- paddles loose. and fixed ; a suKcient distance being rim in each instance. to allow' a satisfac tory calculation to- be made of the real rate of speed attained. The following sholothe extremes - of tlawcon , eltisions come to : Recvoittions Knot* an per minute. hour. SO soon as these trialhadbeen completed, the slap was put about direct forrolyhead; andiwith both paddies andscrew going, she washandled as ecsily as a boat, until) the anchor was drOpped iti.the new harbour at a quarter to font. The"big ship" ast night lay. steady to a single!: anchor; there being a freshening breeae and a moderate tumble in the sea, despite the shelter of the breakwater.- Asteam‘tendir to one of the line-of-battle ships ran out tco meet the Great Eastern, as did alio.some other steamers, and the crews an&passeng,era cheered like true Britons, prouX of a ship that more truly than any craft that ever' before floated may be said` to perform Brikannia'S diity by proxy and to " rule the waves." TVESDAIC-At earlyv hour to-day the Great Eastern was thrown open to the inspection of the visitors conveyedthy the steamship CitrifrAbeideen, fronnLiferpool. This boon was .granted. to 'the ladies and 7 gentlemen so conveyed, at the urger solicitation of Mr..Rebert Lamont, agent fOr the steamer; and Capt. W. O. Campbell;. one of the- passengers. Besides the passengfrs of the City of Aberolgen, several - parties who bad arrived by the Chester and :Holyhead RaiLway were also received on, Ward the Great Eastern.. Among' these. , latter; , we • observed • the Marquis of: Chandos (chairman of the liondon and North-western'. Railway Company) and a dlitinguished party, Mr. Owen Stanley, 'MT.,. and: several_ others. Admitted on board, every . attention was paiu to the newly-arrived visitors, who - were politely allowed to inspect the cabins-and other' parts of the great ship, with all of which they. appeared to -be greatly delighted.! The following is an !abstract of the. official log— of the voyage from We - yinouth to Holyhead :-- Arrived ofF Bill of Pdrtland at 5:43 p.m. on Saturday, Start at 11.27: S am.. as at 2 , .:10 at 6.10 p.m, at 2. 3 a.m. MAiictay. at,12.30 ~ (From; the EVENIXV HERALDtS Special Citorspondent of Yestensay.) . . _ _ . The variation of the Compasses is probably the smallest ever known in an iron ship ; and although the Great Eastern passed Greenhithe without being " swung;". the easeful observations made 1 40 Mr. Gray as she turned with the tide, confirmed 4- further annotyations iu Portland harbour, proves two degrees and. two point. to be the extreme deviation of the least- accurate e£ 'the compasses i a conattaion, which is highly creditable to the science and care oG: Dir. Gray, whose unwearied assiduity in making : observations deserves more than this passing notice. it. has been - remarked, - witbi very great truth, that it 7:s,peesumed to be impossible-that an impartial observe should be on hoard the Great Eastern. With the exception of a very few persons, the passengers, who sudde4y increased in number on Sclt - arday front twenty to, fifty-five, are divided into the partisans:of Mr. Scott Anssell, the par. tisans of ;Messrs. Watt, the believers in Messrs . Magnus and Guedella, and ths. supporters of 'the chairman. Captain Harrison bear& with a firm an, even hand the balance between the factions, and with notable common: sense declines to offer us opinion on tie conduct of cer tain individuals, which I shall have occasion furthc.r to refer to: The 'bearings of ale screw engiges since the• ship left the. Thames have never been fi®t enough to, melt the tallow,, notwithstanding the speed at which they have revolved, equal to 280 feet per minute.. The consumption of fuel is very smalt in the screw,- stoke hole ; 26 tons ill four hours is, the largest amount burnt, and the entire twenty-four hours concluded at four- on Menclaiy• morning had the,consumption " logged" at 125 tons. The quantity used, in the pad engine room, was not` to.. be ascertained with any exactness, but is.suppokid to be about 90 ek 100 tons. Judging- and calculating from. the perfortr.oaces of the Great Eastern on this trip,, the voyagF to.. Melbourne would occupy thirty-six days, and this is only one day more than the original calculation. By the aid of the, trade winds, it is not doubted that the calmlatiou exceed the actual result. _ s We arrived off Holyhead about noons to-day, (Mon, day,) and as it had been determined there to try the paddles without the screw, and the latter without the former,,the experiment was accordingly proceeded with. The paddlei made 7 1-15, or, according to ilf,r; Russell, 8 revolutions, producing 71 knots ;, and the screw, 38 to 39, making 11 knotsor rather nwe•than 12.1 miles per hour. - One of the. powerful Liverpool tugs ran out to Uolyhead harbour, and, havinro.unded to accompany as, was very speedily left behind. The view off the South Stack Lighthouse VMS magnificent —the fine hold headland rising almost perpendicular from the water line, intersected by numerous caves, which appear to be well worthy of exploration. After cruising about for four hours, we. proceeded to enter the bay. We anchored half-a-mile inside the breakwater at 4.15 p.m., much to the delight of the inhabitants of Anglesea, who from every available standing point were, watching the prog . ress of the Great Eastern. Their unsophisticated -minds could not comprehend the necessity of the oruise off the island, and it waa evident they formed an opinion that some further accident bad occurred to disable ns.• When we came to an anchor, her Majesty's ship Hast ings dressed mastheads as a welcome, and her tender, also presented like colours. The various vessels in harbour likewise dressed ship, and the coastguard look-out on the headland presented an imposing appearance, the only Misfortune being that we were at too great a distance to distinguish the gay bunting which floated from fla g staff, guys, and stays, in fact, from every possible spot. We had not been long at anchor, when Capt. R. Mends, of the Hastings, and Capt. Boyd, of the Ajax, now at Kingstown, came along side, and requested admission, whichwas at onee granted. Both these gentlemen expressed themselves highly delighted with the ship and her appearance, and seemed much pleased at the very satisfactory progress we had made. Taking into consideration the defects which undoubtedly still exist in the ship, and which must be fully rectified before the Great .Eastern pro ceeds to sea—as an instance, the defective stowage may be mentioned—beyond all question the trip must be considered an undoubted success. Messrs. Watt and Co. and Mr. Russell are too jealous of each other to consult on the proper degree and proportion of speed between the paddles and the screw ; wonderful as is the improvement in the discipline and, regulations, there is room for much more ; the stokers are compara tively " green," and do not keep up the steam at' all evenly. The remedy is, of course, a few experienced leading stokers distributed amongst them. It will be interesting to the public to learn when the Great Eastern is expected to leave Holyhead for Portland, United States.. I am enabled, from special information, to say that the Queen's health will be drunk on board the ship on Christmas-day at her present anchorage. Those, therefore, who anticipated paying a Yule visit to their friends or acquaintances in the At lantic States must make up their minds to go by the Cunard line, or stay at home. Why it has been deter mined to put off the departure for so long a time it is impossible to say. LIVERPOOL POLICE_COURT,--YEsTERDA.y. [Before Mr. MAxsrlELp.] CARMRS It( TUOUBLE.—Michael Dobbs and Aidrew Berry were charged with attempting to steal a sack of flour, the property of Messrs. A. F. and R. Maxwell, corn brokers. The prisoners were carters, and had been engaged to take thirty sacks of oatmeal from the ship's side, in Collingwood Dock, to the goods station of the, London and North-we4tern Railway. The thirty, sacks of oatmeal had been put on the cart, and the overlooker (Mr. Madrill) had occasion to go away for a few minutes ; when he returned, he found that a sack of flour had been put on the top of the oatmeal. The pri soners were asked why they had interfered with the flour, and.they replied that They did so for the purpose of balancing the weight of the cart. —The prisoner& were put down' until another witness• was in attendance, and on his arrival and his evidence being given, they were committed for trial. • Ii:YDTAINING A FBAIDIER BED ON FALSE PRETENCES. -MiSS , Elizabeth Jones, a young: and ; ,good looking woman, had been a lolger of a Mr - A -Brown s Sumner strec4 Pitt-street; at a weekly rent of ss.

ANORITiER ACCOUNT OF THE: FEHIO DISASTER At Bishop Auckland, last week a,' gratifying demon stration took place, in offering a eongratqlatory welcome ta Cnptain Langley, son of the Bishop. of Durham, who was. severely, indeed dangerously. wounded, in the fatal attack on the forts on the Pehioxiver. The gallant officer was received with every mark of respect and affection ; ' and, in answer to an address, of'con,gratidation, which was. presented to him on the occasion by the leading gentlemen: and tradesmen of the neighbourhood, Captain Long-ley replied as follows :--" It; is with feelings of sincere. ,gratification that I return you my thanks for the address which you have, presented to me. I have, as: you say, been - a long distance from home.lt was in October, 1857, that I was ordered to India with my company, but on our arrival overland at Point de Galle, our do stination was changed to China. I arrived therein time to take part in the action at Canton under Gen. Strau benzie, after which I had the . honour ta he named aide-de-camp to the general. ..I was present at the affair at the White Cloud Mountains, and captureof Namtoin, and remained at Canton till the arrival of his Excellency the Hon. F. Bruce, her Majesty's plenipotentiary, and Admiral Hope. In June we left Canton for the Peiho, under Admiral -Hope, who, 'we expected, would go direct to Pekiu to ratify the treaty which had been made. We found, as. you know, that the passage up the river was stopped by a strong barrier, and-the forts which had been taken last year, rebuilt. Of course,' we were not able to ascend the river. Mr. Bruce and Mons. Boarbonnel, the French ambassador, then placed the matter in the admiral's hands, and an attempt was made to pass the barrier, the result of which is already known to you. My company was distributed among the gunboats, and I with ten men was on board the 'Plover, where we acted as sharpshooters. On the order being given, I went ashore with the landing party, and was in the act of carrying the scaling ladders through the mud, when I was unfortunately wounded. I remained two hours with my men, and then returned on board to get my wound' dressed. It is not for me to criticise the acts of my superior officer ; there is an oriental proverb which says Speech is as silver, but silence is as gold,' and the. is so much my senior that it would not become, me, and I am sure you will excuse me going any further into the matter. There is one expression, however, in your address which I would like to correct, if you will allow me, and that is as to the ' treacherous Chinese.' I don't thinkwe have any right to accuse them of treachery, because, when Mr. Bruce made his appearance, they told I him to go up by another way which was open ;,but for cer- OCTOBER 12, 1859. tAtt reasons, perhaps thought it was not; consistent with 'te honour. of this country, he thouglil it better to erupt to force the passage; but they c'ettainly, did —er to let him g 3 up the other way,- and therefore there perhys be some excuse for' then-;• they certainly lid not fire the first shot ; for it Was not until after Capt. Willis, the admiral's fig captain, had blown' up the 'first barrier, which was tantamount to a declaration 0! war by us, that they fired upon him, and he . retired. Next morning the gunboats were ordered to take up their positions at seven' o'clock, but on account of the strong tide aid the wind,. this could not be effected until two o'clock in the afternoon; and during the whole of this time the Chinese never fired a shot. Had they opened fire during this interval when they were aground, I don't think 011e' of the gunboats' would have escaped; but they waited uttil the admiral lead pulled . up the first row of stakes, and gone towards the second, before they fired upon us. /herefore, I don't think we can call them treacherous Chinese. Then, as. to the report which stated that there was a , trap laid ffsr as-- this is entirely incorrect—there was no trap at all. lire saw it' all before we went ; we saw the masks before the embrasures, and of course' concluded that there were' guns behind them, and - Vire saw the mudl we had tro• cross: Therefore I hope. you will hear no more about traps or treacherous Chinese.. Then, as to our • foiseing . civilisation upon these• barbarians, as we term them: It appears to me to resemble such a cam as this. A crusty old gentleman livesiin Bishop Auck;- land, who` likes' to' follow his own crotchets and keep' within hiwown house.; but a number of persons meet' together, go' to' him, and say, 'You mutt come out and be civilised', or you must let us into your house,. and become a Chriitiant Now I think that man has a right to defend' his own house the• best way he can—(hear, hear)—every man's house is his castle, at least it is' acknowledged to be so in . Engiand, and I don't know' why it should not be se in China. (Applause.) r dOn't say that we are to give up our trade, if we can' help it; but I don't think - wt are right in forcing our civilisation upon China ; - don't think we show them very gooA examples of Chrietianity, or teach such_good customs, that they need wish it. imitate ; and it is a fact, asastated'by Lord Elgin, that the further he went into the interior,, the better disposed the people were towards us ; but at Canton and other places where we have been establiihed fOr 200 years, they halve very bad feelings towards . us, because they have had much injustice done to there' ANOTHER PAPAL MANIFESTO The pastoral letter of - Dt: Callen, read on Monday in all the chapels of Dublin,-runs to such an extraordinary length as to defy any attempt at -even a summary of its contents. The main subjects discussed are • the well thrashed question of edikatiOn, and the perilous position of the Popedom., Leaving - the question of education, Dr. Cullen turns to what - he-calls another ilhistration of " hypocrisy and bigotry' acting under the mask of a desire to put down oppressiOn and support the rights of man." He then proeeedi as follows : " During the past months4we must have all observed that the most wicked attempts have .been incessantly made to misrepresent and”malign the acts of the supreme Iread - of our Church on earth ; and especially.the tem poral administration of Ifig States.. In order to per suade the world that the- *meekest and kindest of men, Pius IX., was a tyrant and' an oppressor of his people, statements based upon falsehood and calumny have been recklessly circulated in-the press, and every wicked art employed to show that he was unfit and unworthy to-retain any temporal authority. At the same tine the- Pope's • Prime Minister; anian who had displayed extraordinary, abilities, in - managing public affairs, in most difficult and crifteal times—a man of un impeachable integrity and' most virtuous and edi fying in_ his life, a patron and encourager of the fine arts—was insulted in- the most unworthy man ner; and calumnies agaiiist him widely circulated onAhe authority ofli French scribbler, whose ignorance , and impudence were only, exceeded by his malignitY• While this spirit prevails iii high places, we are notate he surprised that a committee should •be projected" in England, of which the evangelical Lord Shaftesburrhns provisionally accepted the presidency, f or th e purpose of arming a band of rebels.ity Bologna, consisting in P of outlaws and stranger s t o that country, and aiding 'them in their wicked oppoi4ition to their just and humane setereign, our Holy . Father-Pius .IX. . And here let us ask, is it not hypocrisy of an extraordinary character in :men to encourage treason and sedition, and trample on 'the laws of the Gospel, while they assume the name of . EVangelical, and glorify themselves, like the PhariSees, :as models for the imitatioir of mankind ? "The first and principal ground of complaint arable the Pope apjears to be,. that he is not willing , to extent! to his Pope that liberal form of government - which, under: English influenee,..and with the applause of the British Press, has been int ro du ce d i n t o th e kingdom of Sardinia by its Ministers Cavern- and Ratazzi. gat there anything in thefritits obtained in that kingelera , bl the-liberalised form of . goverument to induce the-Pope to adopt it ?-" What has Veen the effect of the reforms those applauded Miaisters ? Under their auspites- the property of convents and monastries has been eon" Seated, nuns and friar's dtspersed, priests and , bishoPs exiled. or persecuted, , the• rights of the chnrelt-hivadeal heresy and error ratronised; and the fountains-of 'know ledge poisoned by- anti.;-Chtholie and infidel" teaching; All this has been done under the name of progriss awl liberality ; but, to show how hypocritical is :such a pretence, we mnp add that the boasted liberty of the press has been assailed, every Catholic newspaper suP pressed, and intolerable- and most oppressive burdens,. placed upon the-people.; so that under the care er the friends of progress, and those who, are put for ward as models of good statesmen, a, country which twelve years ago was: happy and fioorishing is now almost reduced!to -astute of utter destiutiOn and bank` ruptcy, and groaningunder a fearful despotism.. But, forsooth, their liberal institutions are- a> sufficient coin pensation faro.ll their losses and miseries 1 . It is enough that the Catholic Church is robbed and oppressed; thi s is sufficient-cansolation for British Ilirangelicals in their aspirations-for freedom : they are perfectly satiefied-w iti l the hypocritical liberty which gives. to a violent, and anti-Catholio. minority the power-to insult and enslave the Catholionaajjority of their fellisw,citizens. „ . " Another ground of complaint which is eontinuallY repeatechiii, that the people of the.PoPes. States are dis satisfied; that..foreign troops are. employed to keep therm in obedience, and that misery,. povratT, and crime abound* in them. In answering this: objection, it is necessary to recollect that no human. institution is free' from defects, and that no government- can render all 4 5 ' snl f ilects. rich, happy; a nd contented , . Political econeinist s : an enthusiastic statesmen, sometimes promise to bring" back the golden age, andi to banish misery from this world'; but their schemes are mere delusions- This earth is only a, place off` exile and banish' ment, where man's let is.. to. suffer and to eat_ his bread with the sweat of hi s br ow .

Even th e British empire is not exempt from such evils, and ve r n Y i lately it has. been considered expedient to reress the to in India by fire and sword, by destroying and pillage to great cities, and even by blowing unfortunate soldiers pieces from the mouth of the carillon, 0 1 " Now, 'while the Pope is assailed by evang committees and statesmen, by biblical emissary„wo and foreign _ money, why should he not call strangers to aid in preserving his authority ? - o the prince has a full right to. do -so, and 'ho Pepe more - than any other ; for in reality those " e d are, called on to assist him cannot be oonsir r h is strangers, as all Catholics are his children and A a spiritual subjects, and all feel -it a r ight dut to contribute to the defence of him who is oontin ual W e watching . over the interests of their souls.
