I rar )cal )0 01 dis by Liverpool, and a very tardy iicknowledgement had been given of the blessings that had resulted therefrom. It was a reprehensible practice on the part of the registrar to make a comparison between places which possessed no feature in common. Dr. Greenough, some time previously, had actually held out Glenvale, in Cumberland, as a type for Liverpool —an absurd parallel. It was neither just nor genercrus to Liverpool that any place should be held out to her es an example for sanitary purposes. Liverpool was the first town that applied to Parliament. for powers for this very purpose, and it had always led the van of sanitary reform. Twenty-five per cent. of the inhabitants of Liverpool were dependent for maintenance upon unskilled labour, and the prevalence of easterly winds or a commercial crisis mast produce pauperism and crime, and therefore tend to death. Great injustice was done to Liverpool in the Registrar-General's report. No town had made such progress as Liverpool ; and although it stood before Man chester, Glasgow, and Greenock, those towns escaped the censure of the Registrar. He (Mr. Nickson) begged to move that the medical officer, the borough engineer, and the law-clerk be instructed to attend the Social Science Congress at Glasgow, in order to meet the state -ments of the Registrar-General. Mr. BOWRING seconded the motion. Mr. NEWLANS—The Registrar-General repeats the seroadal after having acknowledged that the refutation was a just one. That is the worst feature (Hear hear). Mr. CRELLIN said the Registrar-General had only based his observations upon the report of 1857, and had taken no notice of anything after that date. The motion was then agreed to. The application of Captain Hornby, asking the com mittee to provide twenty water carts on the occasion of the review at Knowsley, was granted. This terminated the business, and the committee adjourned. COUNTY COURT.-YESTERDAY. OPENING OF THE (Before J. K. BLAIR, Esq.) ACTION FOR THE RECOVERY OP A LOST £5O NOTE. An action was brought by Thomas Rice, cattle dealer, s taying at 6, Salisbury-terrace, Old Swan, for the re 'covery of a Bank of England note for £5O, lost by him on the 17th of November, 1859, and found a few days afterwards by the defendant, Bernard M'Camley, a labourer, residing with Mr. Holt, publican, 4, Sir • Thomas's-buildings. Mr. Yates appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. R. G. Williams, of London, for, the 'defendant. It appears that on the 17th of November last,the plaintiff, a man named Bannon, and several other perstsas were drinking in Holt's house, where they re mained until a late hour, and became rather intoxicated. The plaintiff and Bannon, who is also a cattle dealer, transacted some business previously. In the course of the evening complainant treated the whole of the per sons present to glasses each, tendering a £5 note in payment. Witnesses deposed having seen other notes in his bag, as well as a number of bank cheques. Bannon saw among other notes two for £5O. Between eleven and twelve o'clock Bannon accompanied the .plaintiff as far as Hatton-garden, where the latter took ,a cab and drove home. Next morning he missed the 'note in question. He proceeded to the public-house, and enquired of Holt whether he had left anything there the night before, not mentioning, however, from motives of delicacy, the fact that he had lost the note. 'On the following Sunday, the defendant found in the yard connecting the house with a public alley at the back a £5O note on the Bank of England, endorsed, according to his statement, with the names of two gentlemen. He left it in Holt's possession for two or three days, and - ultimately advertised it on three occasions in the columns 'of the Mercury. About a fortnight after the loss, the plaintiff's attention was called to the advertisement, and be forthwith proceeded to the public-house, procured an interview with the defendant, and arranged to pro duce the number and the names on the note in a few days afterwards. He then sent a list of the names to the defendant, who, however, refused to produce the tote, saying he would himself compare the names. It qPpears that he had, in the interim, lodged the note at the bank, receiving twenty pounds in change, of which handed three or four pounds to his landlord, Holt, 11 1 payment, it was said, for board and lodgings. The ether portion was spent for clothes and other things. Plaintiff called again, and was told that the names on the note were not the same as those which he had sup plied ; and it was denied most positively that the plaintiff's initials were on it at all. Defendant led the plaintiff to believe that the note was still in his posses sion unchanged, and he continued to promise that he 'Would immediately give it up on the production of the correct number and names. The list of names had been mislaid. Some time in July a detective accompanied the plaintiff to the lodgings of the defendant, who repeated the same story, still refusing to produce the note.—On cross-examination by Mr. Yates, the defendant said that be was induced to change the note in consequence of his 'poverty. Had the right owner, he said, applied for the mote, and proved his ownership, he would have been unable to meet his demand.—Mr. R. G. Williams con tended, on the part of the defendant, that, in the first place, the case had not been made out, inasmuch as the 'ownership of the note had not been proved either to the defendant or to the satisfaction of the Court; secondly, that the defendant had, under the circumstances, acted In the proper manner ; and lastly, that the evidence wanted the Court in giving him judgment.--His Rorreskr, in giving judgment, commented at some length on the defendant's conduct in the matter. remarking tlse.s h e would have been acting cue part of the honest t am if, when he found that the note wet .claimed, he had produced and compared it in the presence of the plaintiff ; or had .told him that :he had lodged the note and changed it at the bank, instead of refusing, as he did, to produce it at all, or informing the plaintiff as to where it was. It did not follow because the plaintiff did not state his loss ', l l the morning following his first visit to the public house, that he had not lost the note ; and he (his Xfonour) could not less than believe that the defendant way perfectly conscious at the time that the plaintiff was the owner. Farther than that, he found that within two or three days he hastened to change the note, and expend the money.—Judgment for the plaintiff.—Mr. fates enquired if his Honour would empower him to mover the money.—His gonour said they must settle / *t matter among themselves, and remarked to the Pleinte that in this ease l , he ought to have resisted temptation. 111 E ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS COMPANY (LIMITED) V. CHARLES SEAMAN. —lt may be recollected that some time ago ,%be above company brought an action of ejectment -against Mr. Charles Seaman, one of their tenants, and that his Honour (Mr. Blair) found that an alleged agreement .as to Mr. Seaman being considered a weekly tenant was wit properly substantiated. Yester day Mr,. Aspinall, barrister, appeared before his Honour on behalf of the company, and applied for a trial before special pry. Mr. Deighton, barrister, on behalf of lir. Seaman, opposed the application. Ws Honour, after hearing the parties, said he could not legally grant the application. It was then proposed to enter into the Zaerits of the case before his Honour, on whose recom raendation, however, the matter was withdrawn, the case being, we believe, privately settled. G. F. Train, Esq. LIVERPOOL• POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. ('biefore Mr. RAFFLES.) A WILD YOUNG MAN.

The prisoner, in answer 1 M the c h arge , said he was only defending himself from e veral persons who attacked him. Mr. Ralles fined him £`>, or three rnoutke imprisonment , a, THE TWO PORTERS. JcsePh Forshew, iS porter, was charged with stealing -t, 50 gallons of liquid perter from one of the dock quays. It appeared that the prisoner wasaia the employment of Messrs. r•ckford & Co. for the last five years, as a carter. On Wed :eBday he was engaged in carting casks of porter from the T raf "••••r to the Waterloo Dock, and that , in conse q uence of fi o 445 `• happened, a watch was set on h i m, and he was tnething Ma. - °ba erved to draw two s - - . -111ons of porter from a cask , put it into -`zing it in his cart, when he was jar, and was in the act of pu...

The prisoner then said, " Well, then, I only rk two quar t s o f it." Mr. Raffles : You had no business to o n t ke two drops of it. I hope this wi ll be a warning to you and in the employment, for I shall punish all persons who t: of such thefts severely. You must go to gaol for Months, with hard labour. The gentleman from Pickford's ;ba nked t c his worship, and trusted his decisio n would have the "'led effect on the carters. " THE LIQUOR," AND ITS CONSEQUENWCESYoung W illiam Smith, a coach-maker, was charged by m. Ivit n having stolen a suit of black clothes, his property. It appeared that the parties lodged together in a house in Wilton it4st, and that the prisoner.was on a "batter" of drink for ir e days past. Having spent all his money, he cried loudly, hamlet's mother, " The drink, the drink ; " but no ;: h l34i ts" coming, either, from the vasty deep or the public lee bag, he had recourse to a s trata g em, and, having laid dishonest hands on the " sables" of Mr. Young, be coined '" e ni into silver by a process only known to benevolent people , eolle d l 'uneles."

FIRST STREET RAILWAY IN EUROPE• GRAND BANQUET YESTERDAY. Yesterday a grand banquet was given by Mr. George Francis Train, to inaugurate the opening of the first Street Railway in Europe, at Birkenhead. The carriages, which are exceedingly beautiful, were constructed from the plans, and under the immediate superintendence, of Mr. Andrew Palles, the engineer, and differ entirely from any omnibus or railway convey ance we have ever seen. They are wide, high and airy, with a platform at each end raised two steps from the ground, with sliding doors, and affording ample facility for ingress and egress. The entire length is twenty-four feet, and is capable of comfortably sitting twenty-two persons , inside ; at the same time affording a space of four, feet for the con venience of the conductor to pass through and collect the fare, which is done whilst in motion, or, in case of necessity, of permitting a large %umber of persons to stand. At each end is a powerful break, acting simultaneously on the four wheels, under the control of both driver and conductor, and capable of bringing the carriage to a full stop within a distance of a few feet. They are also furnished with bells at either end, by which the driver and conductor can communicate with one another. Two of the carriages are constructed to carry outside passengers, and are painted blue and white, ornamented with the Royal arms and those of Birkenhead, whilst two others are painted yellow, similarly ornamented, but without outside seats—the latter being exceedingly light and elegant looking. The interiors are fitted with cushions of crimson plush, and blinds, in exquisite taste, and quite regardless of cost. The road is well and solidly laid, and of such a form and gunge as to offer little or no obstruction to other vehicles, but, on the contrary, reduces most materially the draft of those who may choose to make use of it—an advantage soon discovered and appreciated by teamsters with heavy loads. Three months haVe scarcely elapsed since permission to lay the rails was granted by the Commissioners, and in that short time the iron has been manufactured, the carriages built, the line laid down, and the streets put in good order—a feat which is highly creditable to Mr. Train and the skill and energy of Mr. Palles, to whom has been entrusted the entire charge of the work, and to whose activity we are indebted for the rapid completion of this—the first street-railway in Europe. A large number of invitations had been sent to mem bers of Parliament, authors, editors, engineers, bankers, and merchants, throughout the Kingdom. At the appointed hour and place, some five or six hundred gen tlemen sat down to a most elegant defamer given by Mr. Train on the occasion. Mr. G. P. TRAIN, after taking the chair, read letters of apology from at least a hundred eminent persons, accompanying, most of the names with some humorous observation which kept the audience in uproarious good humour. The following were some of the letters received by Mr. Train : Balmoral, August 20th, 1660. have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of yopr letter of the rth instant, together with its enclosures, which I have not faded to lay before her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Consort. lam commanded to inform you, in reply, that it will not be in the power of his Royal Highness to accept Your invitation to be present at a banquet at Birkenhead, upon the 30th of August, for the celebration of the opening of a street railway in that town.

W HI TTEMORE, who was gr eeted Wit h said hearty cheering, rose to respond to the toast. ge Mr. Train had drawn very largely upon the liberty which existed on both sides of the Atlantic in calling upon him to respond to the toast. He was exceed ingly gratified, as he was sure every American present would be, by the ready and hearty manner in which the toast had been proposed and responded to. (1.1 0 4 d cheers.) He had not lived amongst Englishmen seven years without having learned great, and valuable, and glorious Lessons. He had learned a lesson which could only be well learned by mingling amongst each other, and it was this :—.That although water flowed between them, blood was stronger than water. (Great cheering) It would take more than the limed Atlantic to quo the interests and mutual feelings twhhaitChobr to sunderound thetwo peoples together (cheers). They were told that Americans were boasters.

If .4.lxeriei. 2.nd Americans did any thing wurt4 bogitin 70.,1.4 tell Znglishinen that they ought to be proud of it as well as the Americans. (Loud cheers.) It was not exclusively the Americans who did the act : it was the race that did it. (Applause.) It was their common ancestry which should make one nation proud of the deeds of the other; the greatness of America was the reflection of the hearts and minds of those who first went from England to that country and peopled it. (Hear, hear, and cheers). How the Americans had upheld the struggle they must look upon the page of history to learn. The Americans did boast,—and they would hold him recreant to his country who denied it,—that they were the greatest country on the face of the earth. He loved his native land,—God bless it !—but he said of America that if the people did anything entitled to credit, the English ought to be equally proud. The Americans were but a transplantation from the old stook, and they had shown the English that they could walk up to the mark. (Great cheering.) . That day was a glorious one. It commemorated a glorious event : the ntroCu ;don of a system which was established in the United States, and which he was sure would succeed here. He was sure it would succeed, because the sache energy which had ensured its success in the States would deal with it here ; and there" was no such word as "Can't " in the Anglo-Saxon dictionary. (Cheers.) The distance between the two countries was being rapidly diminished by the power of steam, which had reduced the ocean almost to a river, and the peoples were taking advantage of each others improvements. The Americans took the English laws and institutions right away . across the Atlantic, and they were returning something in the way of interest by giving England the horse railway. (Cheers.) Let the English people accept them; and in conclusion he would say, what he knew would please many present, they would pay. (Great applause and laughter,) The CHAIRMAN gave "The Monarchs of Europe," coupling with the toast the names of all the consuls present—the consuls Nugens, for Belgium; and Prangi, for Bremen. The CHAIRMAN, in giving " The Press," after " The Monarchs of Europe," said he considered this was the natural order, and denounced the old-fashioned process of putting The Press—the most influential power of the day—at the end of the toasts. The editor of the Melbourne Argus, Australia; Mr. Wilson ; Mr. Whitty, Daily Post ; Mr. Pliny Miles, Mr. Bean, Mr. Sherlock; Mr. Fox, Manchester; Mr. Mansfield, Dublin Mail;. Mr. Dignan, Chronicle, &c., ale.. rissponded warmly to the toast. The CHAIRMAN gave " The Army and Navy," which was replied to by Lieutenant Hookey and another. The CHAIRMAN called for a bumper to " The Com missioners of Birkenhead," to which Mr. Laird replied. The next toast from the chair was, "The Corpora tions of the Kingdom," which was responded to by Messrs. John Stewart, Bromley, Manchester ; Mr. Kinalian, Mr. Daman, and Mr. Hodges (Chairm an of the Marylebone Vestry).' From the chair was then given, " The Commerce of the Mersey," to which Mr. T. M. Mackay, Mr. 11. Littledale, and Mr. Laird, eloquently and elaborately responded. -4. • .* The Engineers *bre:proposed, and replied to. In reply to the toast of his health, which was pro posed by Mr. Laird, Mr. TRAIN said :—Unaccus tomed as I am to public speaking, overwhelmed by the Warmth of your greeting, don't be surprised if, with the national timidity of my character—so peculiar to my countrymen—my knees shake, and my tongue cleaves to the roof of my mouth, in rising on this (30th of) August occasion to tell you how proud I am to throw back upon you as many kind and honest words of friendship as you have showered upon me. Having been called upon so unexpectedly, being totally unpre pared, and naturally'bashful, you must be generous in your judgment should I break down while addressing yoa. Want of confidence is a great drawback to a public speaker, and an unassuming disposition almost fatal. Possessing, as you are aware, these unfortunate attributes, with all possible humility I beg the indulgence of this most noble audience of distinguished men during the few minutes which are allotted to me in acknowledging the toast. One would have supposed that a really good thing in this live age of competition would have been at once adopted ; but I assure you Banyan's pursuit of know ledge under difficulties was nothing to my endeavour to introduce late the old world one of the greatest luxuries of the new. Ailen are true to their instincts good or bad. The sacred fire bums to a greate r - or less degree in us all. When the instinct of travel got boid of me I was not contented till I had looked in at the windows of all the nations. When the instinct of learning languages pos sessed me, I was not satisfied till I could order a biftek in many countries. Then came the instinct to write letters—to make books—to represent Young America on ChristianoNi l i d m p o a u t l s s e . in friends.thisE d 4 e al w tvi a oe y i her national anniversary, and during some years I have are o t directing t e h e a t g u r o r e u e a creatures been o d f i sg in u s s t st i ci n ow c i' t i act ng ing policy, our passions are modulated, and actions goveroed by interest or fear. We are wonderfully alike in feeling, see ing, hearing, talking, with similar hopes and similar e e ars---Lord Brougham feels the same sensation in sit ting down upon a pin as would the lowest menial of Exeter of us excessively virtuous until we are tempted. History states if he bad only felt five minutes before as he did five minutes after, he would net have done,it. Solomon was a moral Hotnceopath in practice, but an Allopath in theory. That Uriah story in our day would have damaged David's chances for the presiOncy. The world commenced with a bad lot, if the captain of the ark was the only one worth saving for seed. When I found there we no more contracts to make for the Italian army, I er left France and went to America last year, to look after the extensive domain, near an Atlan tic city, of one of the royal families of Europe. The first thing I saw in Boston were Street Railways. They met sue everywhere-7eStreet Railways in New York, Street Railways in Baltimore, Street RailWaYs in 'Cin. cinnati, Street Railways in Philadelphia, Street Eail ways in St. Louis, and Street Railways in Chicago. Why are they not in Europe ? I asked myself, but could give no answer. One reason was every, body was occupied—nobody had time and nobody money. Observation has taught me that the higher you go in life—socially, financially, commer ekelly, and politically—the shorter people are. Every body ;cogs hard-up. Finance—like wind, wave, and weather--,pep in eyclee. Rothschild's bills meet about once in forty years ; and when file yank of Eng land is in a tight place, they get an extension from the government. Then it was that I sold myself to an idea. The more I reflected, the firmer was my conviction. Some bankers joined me, but only for London, Paris, and St. Petersburgh. Never mind--the instinct got ,complete control, and out I came, arriving in the Mer sey in October last. While waiting for a friend at the Birkenhead ra ilway . eta ion, I e ntertained the cabman about what I was going to do at Birkenhead. Then came the tug of action. I argued—l explained—l reasoned — but to little purpose. Pamphlets, letters, engravings, I threw by the thousand. Knowing that the tongue and pen were the battering-rams of good or evil—knowing that thinking men were persecuted, and enquiring minds thumb-screwed in every age, I stuck by the ship. I went to Paris. The Emperor was too bu with the armies. I came to England—london was too con egyative. Liverpool seemed asleep. Time .pressed-e -weeks ttlew past- 7 - mon ths were going, and money too , when instinct again pointed to Birkenhead —practical men met me in a practical way. I showed them my cards. Will you take all risk ? Yes. Will you pay all legal damages against the commissioners ? y es. Will you take up the rails in case of being a public nuisance? Yes. Will you repave the street at your own expense —pay for lighting and watching the road during said works? Yes. Well, you know, Mr. Train, we are business men, representing a business community, —what security will you give, we don't know you personally ? Anything you like, gen tl eme n—say the rails, the timber, the m a t er i a l on thel gi °end. No, that won t aneweF. Arhat then Three tinnsand pounds. " Three thousand ducat4- 7 well'!" All right—you shall have it in sovereigns or consols, and, to-day, if you say so. Hedged in with conditions,bound down with legal ties, I went at it without one word of actual sym pathy or encouragement. I knew that it was a natural law that prejudice could not be removed by preaching against it. I knew that the only way to dislodge a bad thing was by proposing a better. I knew that round tables always looked oblong to the short-sighted. I knew that majorities don't always rule—that bankers to have more faith iu advancing on two good names than on gold dust, and thought, up to the recent panic there was nothing lik4 leather ! I knew that t was called fast but have not yet discovered why there is Mor' dignity in dulness thad in vivacity, more dignity in 'going slow than moving fast. Is the owl any wiser than the eagle ? Iu what respect is the donkey or the mule superior to the race-horse ? I have long believed that the hare was making the second journey when the tor toise" passed him daring his siesta ! Observing these things, I' remembered that a little chink lets in a great light. Where there is a will, there's a way. So I kept my own counsel, and amused myself by noticing the shrugs and winks of the doubters, and in listening to the sneers of the sceptics. I was not aware before this that there were so many infidels in this Christian country. During this Pilgrim's Progress, I think it proper to state, I have had enough good advice poured upon me to lime swamped a dozen such projects ; but know ing that it was a great natural law , thata man was not' a prophet in his own country, or with his own kindred,. or among his own friends, —firmly believing that the good advice of one's friends is perfectly suicidal to his success—l made up my mind to accomplish whatever I undertook, one of the most serious of my man faults being the Herculean idea I had of my own . y ability ! My speeches are sometimes called Ga s, therehimsinuat ing that they were both ltiMinons and exhilarating ! The modesty of assumption is better than the egotism of humility. Few practice humility to their inferiors. Men are humble for two reasons—one, the fear of ridi cule, which paralyses their energies ; the other, the praise of having men say, "There is a clever man ; see how modest and retiring he is." Nov take the modesty of assnMption. The Man who assumes a position with ant capacitY to supppit will fall, through the un charitableness of the world. But your ha in the fire and you will get burnt. Walk off St. Pads, and the Newtonian law will bring you dawn. Step out of the Great Eastern and you sink. So he who puts on airs must take them off again. Water won't run up hill. It is a singular fact that if you run your spring-cart over a rough road, that all the small potatoes will go to the bottom ! A man is either a diamond or not a diamond. If a diamond, the more he comes in contact with clever men, the more polished and valuable he becomes. If a PRbble,h,e will Waste awe Y with the action of the intellec tual fide. I believe -;*, 4 estiny, but it roust be bac ked up by Patience,rieverande, and Pluck. 1 believe in a star, but It must be endorsed 'by Yeah,' Hope, and Energy. I knew the better the invention, the more severe the opposition----that this was not opposed for its impracticability, but for its practicability. Provid ence, Napeleqn observed, w as always ou the side of the strongest battalions ; and I also remembered of the old lady saying, when her horse ran away down the bill, that she put her trust in Providence till the breeching broke, and then she thought it time to take care of herself. Cromwell, you remember, had the same idea about the po wder. I knew the road to success was Macadamised With the bones of unsuccessful men, and yet success is not always the test of merit. A. man's mind must be in proportion to his zeal,. As one fact was better 'than one 'hundred analogies, I built this road (and the Com missioners say I have done it well—they are all present, ask them), most people looking upon me as a harmless luna ti c , growing saner and saner, however, as I Prq" -reseed towards completion. -res Rumours'7 every day came out--another omnibus hrolte-7-another horse fell On the rails—another carriage wheel, wrenched off. Then 'stories of injunctions, proaecutions; manda muses, but what of • that, a re i g-Ment of bayonets, a battery of rifled cannon, would nut lav e deterred me, 'bad *.Teq 11 , ilvfaYs ; livAce these Lilliputian popguns, revolvers, and muskets of opposition were only •pepper and mustard to my roast beef, 19.4ny,1 heal nothing of the noble army o f mar. tyrs. Nothing so stimulates the passions :as opposition —nothing so bracing to the system as cold water— where would the engine go in Lime-street tunnel but for the brakes ? How preserve Champagne in the bottle without the corks ? It is the opposition wad upon the sanguine powder that gives force to the carmen ball. Peel floored protection, and Gladstone pummelled it after it was down. Spurgeon has introduced free-trade into the pulpit—Napoleon into diplomacy—Rowland Bill into the Post-office—Rarey into horse-taming—Gari baldi into revolution—Fowler into phrenology—and Birkenhead has to-day introduced free-trade into locomo tion. Is it popular ? Go and ask the labouring men employed in making the road—in cutting the timber—in casting the iron. Go and ask the navvies who have so well earned my money, if street railways are not a blessing to the community ? Satiated with commenda tion, censure was gratifying, more especially as the rotten eggs of slander and dead cats of sarcasm are always hurled at innovators, in every land. Week after week I paid the workmen—fifty to eighty a day. Whet e does the money come from ? asked one, Will it succeed ? enquires another, Why make such liberal offers to the commissioners ? Because I wanted despatch. Will it pay ? says a third. Why interest yourself on that subject ? I don't ask you for any money—the best evidence that I think so is that I run all the risk. Others seem astonished to see me patent the whole principle. They should know that priority itself is a freehold under the primogeniture laws of England, and I am twelve mouths a-head. By the patent laws of this country, the man who introduces an invention into the kingdom is the inventor, and receives full security—besides, my nationality guaranteed the right—who ever heard of an American running any risk in placing unbounded confidence in an Englishman's sense of justice ? With priority—with money—with the patent—with the knowledge—and having full confi dence in my engineer, Mr. Palles, who came endorsed to me from Philadelphia—l never turned to the right or the left. The result you see to-day. I knew that I had the most profitable idea of this generation—and little by little I could disarm prejudice—little by little an acorn makes an oak sand by sand the insect • makes the coral mountain—drop by drop the ocean is created—stone by stone the pyramid of Cheops was built —so argument on argument, word by word, I have worked street railways into Birkenhead. How rough and dull the diamond before you polish it. The Australian shepherds were making pillows of the Australian nuggets, ignorant of their value, when Hargreaves saw it was F old —yet so slow the mind, so suspicious the people, it was sold in Lombard-street for a pound less than its market value, for nearly two years ! It was only the other day they •discovered that a drum just half the size made the same noise. Only a few years since,. McHenry invented the nose on the ink bottle, and Appold the step to the carriage. Since Noah's inebriation, each improvement in ship-building has been sneered at. Where ignorance is so wise it is folly to be blissful—Street Railways were howled down when first proposed in America—councilmen held back. Our ferry-boats are constructed, as I hope yours will be next year, to allow carts and horses to drive on. At the New Yotk pier one day a team of horses walked on, as well-bred horses always do, and took their proper place on the boat—then shortly afterwards a team of sleek fat mules. The boat was delayed some minutes before they were forced on board, and when embarked they were smelling and snorting until they backed hard up against the stern rail, under the belief that they had still carried their point, but it so happened there was a sanguine little party in the hold—au enthusiast, a fan atic—l mean the steam engine (for there is a certain madness in liene4t energy), rapidly propelling the boat over the river, and duly lauded horses aqd mules on the Brooklyn side, the aforesaid conservative animals walking away, with the conviction that they had succeeded in retarding the progress of the boat! I am glad the simile does not apply to this country, although there are still many here who believe that bricks cannot be made without straw. Some people always strike when the iron is cold ; always doing the wrong thing in the wrong plece—too late for battle, too early for victory. In youth, men are held, radical, liberal ; and in old age, timid, cautious, conservative— the same applies to countries. Ripe fruit falls without shaking the tree. Street railways were just ready for importation when I went to America. Not wishing to forget the seed time and have no harvest ; to neglect the tide and lose the voyage, I determined to carry my point. I have done so; but it has been 111)1141 work-- those who had ears would not hear, eyes would see not. Some talked large but did nothing. Sympathy like sub scriptions to charities usually commences with pounds and ends with shillings. Tears over the pall sometimes end with laughter over the wake. As a rule, I never con tribute to charities without an express understanding that it shall be reported in the newspapers! When you are in Rome do as the Romans do, did not apply to the Isiah Brigade I There are more slaves of fashion than of passion. Man's memory is so defective it is almost impossible to remember a kindness. Bums' idea about seeing ourselves as others see us is simply absurd. Others in this case thought me mad ; a member of Parliament cautioned me against talking so strong, urging that he did not dare to introduce me to his friends, When the Irish committee, some dozen M.P.'s Leaded by Mr. Cardwell, came to see my models, I told them how I had 'been Crammed 'for the interview, that I was told I must talk with great precision and dignity ; I begged them to let me talk naturally first, and then I would assume the dignity if they desired it. Innovation is my creed; something new was wanted; all were wedded to old forms. I obtained opinions from intelligent men, and whenever they all concluded that the whole thing . should be arranged one way, I was sure to order it just the reverse. Here are some of the innovations. The rail, the sleeper, the carriage opening 'at each encl. The allies printed for drivers and condactors ; bells on the harness, but no blindeti on the bridles ; uniforms for the drivers and conductors ; large horses ; new style of banquet card; Order of toasts intro ducing Princ e of Wales, and placing the press where they ought to be—up among the sovereigns. New fashions come in hard. Holmes gives a beautiful simile of removing old notions and implanting new. After great exertion the stone that so long lay upon the grassplot was lifted up, when, lo and behold! look at the colony of frightened conservatives—lizards run ning here—spiders on this side—bugs and insects on that—and all uncleeu things scattering to their holes, slimy; dark and`cold," Thts; stone' Aqui 'taken away. A year later the traveller passed, and, lo and behold the change !—violets and delicate grasses and lovely flowers had sprung up on all sides, happy in the sunlight. Wishing to make sure that I alone had faith in what I was doing, I spoke about raising some money. Like Copperfield, trying to sleep with one eye open, found it could not he' clone.' The "thing was untried. My timber merchant stood with a sle4per in one hand, and the bill in the other. The ironfounders the same. One and all said—Your money or your life ! My highly conservative solicitors looked on, it seemed to me, more in sorrow than in anger, at what appeared to them a reck less speculation. The only live men in the whole pe a t y seems to be the car-maker---Mr. Main. He had faith The fact is, I did not want their assistance, for I h a d thirty thousand peunds as a nest egg to begin with I only wished to try them ! Said one of my banking friends, Why don't you realise—sell out? Pray, what should Ido with the money : Place it in the bank N ot a mite of it ? My idea of a banker is, that . he should l end me money, net that§hgula legit hid} Money; The modern banker always assume s t he air of doin g you a great service by allowing you to draw out the mon ., you have deposited with him.

SCARCITY OF AMERICAN SEAMEN. -I Wellin to an advertisement of Mr. John Costa, the American ship ping 4. master, in our pages, it seems that there is at the present time a great scarcity of American sailors in Liverpool. We are informed that this is owing, i n a great measure, to the excessive crews which the present emigration laws compel passenger ships to carry, an d drains the port of the already insufficient number of sea men available; and thus occurs the great difficulty of procuring crews for other ships, e specially as, at the pre sent time, when the arrivals of h o meward bound Ameri can vessels are few and' far between. High wages and other inducements have to be offered, and large advances given, and although the latter persua s i ve is only resorted to in times of great scarcity, as at the present; for there can be no doubt thAt large_ advances' act injuriously for the sailor, for he benefits nothing by them, bey n ond a night's excessive dehanch, but, on the other hand, is more crippled ill taeans, and has no'fauds to tall baclt nrn, to assist him on the othe r side upon 1 44 arrival. ill fact, the only persons that benefit by large advances are those, above all others, into whose hands the increased amount should not fall. We see that Mr. de Costa offers advance of wages of from £2 10s. to £7. We presume that the lower rates are for ordinary seamen, and the higher for the kuzerior grades of the service. If thementf emigration laws a ct injurious) i to American'` shipping in the matter of shipment o crews, it must be remembered the trade With America, which benefits Liverpool, should be glad to see the:objectionable clauses repealed. We are informed that exertions are being now made to WA about this result, and we may mention that Mir. John Costa, who is the larses; American shipping master ill J?:ierpool, and who is consequently interested Wilicb in the matter, has had an interview with the Emigration Commis sioners upon the subject, p resent i ng at t)Aek aft name time most numerously signed and i n A a ential memorial from the American 4'. o viris and nie, 3 teri frequenting the pay t, praymF or tle . 3 boA t i m of the objectionable Cl al YA s\IIIC:14 net (:' injuriously to the interests of the s hipping community, and which benefit no one by their continued adoption, but only l ea d to con ti nue d eva s i ons , frakuls, and duplicity, • TIIE DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 31; 1880. CORONER'S COURT, The following inquests were held yesterday : On the body of Peter Maxwell, 15 years of age, who was a shipcarpenter's apprentice, at Messrs. Challoner's yard. On Tuesday he was at work in the yard at a ship, when by some means the frame gave way, and he fell with it to the ground, and received such injuries that he died soon after in the Southern Hospital. Verdict, " Accidental death." On the body of Helen Gibson, five weeks old, the child of an ironmonger in Epsom-street. The deceased was overlain by accident in bed. Verdict accordingly. BANKRUPTCY COURT.—YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. Commissioner PERRY.) In re ANN A. LEEVERS.--This bankrupt, a hosier, in St. James's-street, appeared on her last examination yesterday. Mr. Sandys represented the assignees, and had no instructions to oppose. The balance sheet re quired amendment in several particulars, which the bankrupt having made was allowed to pass her exami nation. The certificate sitting was appointed for the Ist October. _ _ In re JOSEPH JUKES.—The bankrupt was an iron master, late proprietor of the Poukey Iron Works, near Wrexham. His balance-sheet not being filed, the last examination was adjourned to the 25th September. Mr. Sandys appeared for the assignees. In re JACKSON AND EASTMAN.—The last examina tion of these bankrupts, who were commission merchants in Liverpool, was adjourned to the 11th September, owing to their balance-sheet not being filed. In re WHITTINGHAM AND SUTTo24.—These bank rupts were millers at St. Helen's, and came up on application for their certificate. Mr. Sandys supported the bankrupt Sutton, and Mr. Bedwell, from Messrs. Lace's, represented the assignees. It appeared that the estate was likely to realise 20s. in the pound, and that the bankrupts' conduct had been satisfactory. The court therefore awarded them certificates of the first class. re W. J. SHARPE.—This bankrupt, a timber merchant at Northwich, was, on the application of Mr. Woodburn, allowed a certificate of the third class. Mr. Sandys, for the petitioning creditor, did not oppose. HALE FLORAL AND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. The picturesque little village of Hale wore quite a gala aspect yesterday, on the occasion of the annual exhibition of this society. The crowded state of the streets bore ample testimony to the interest taken in the affair by the holiday-seeking and sight-loving portion of our population. The exhibition was above the average character, and indeed, taking into consideration the state of the weather during the summer, better than might have been expected. The pait harsh weather told more especially on the cottagers, as all their pro ductions are necessarily grown in the open air, and without those means of protection within the reach of their wealthier neighbours ; but notwithstanding these drawbacks, tho cottagers' exhibition attracted considerable attention, and received unqualified praise. The beautiful grounds of Hale Hall were thrown open by Mr. Blackburn, and were crowded by a large and respectable assemblage. The band of the 4th Royal Lancashire Militia was in attendance, and added much to the interest of the scene by the performance of some excellent music. Amongst those present we noticed J. I. Blackburne, Esq., with a distinguished party of visiters who are staying at Hale Hall • Col. Blackburne, Capt. and Mrs. Mullineux, Capt. Hopwood, Messrs. Richard Leger, Richard Wilson, - Long; Mr. Cornwall Leigh and Mrs. Leigh, Rev. It B. Steward, &e., We regret that space precludes our noticing in detail the more prominent and beautiful of the flowers and fruit exhibited ; but we would name the first and extra prize given to Robert Owen, for his two devices in cut flowers, both of which were greatly admired. The ericas exhibited by Mr. Booth were very beautiful. Miss Leigh, of Hall, received an extra prize for some handsome achimenes. The model of a flower garden, executed in the petals of flowers by Ralph Naylor, was very much admired, and received an extra prize. The agricultural produce was very good, especially the oats ; and the mangold wurzel exhibited by J. I. Blackburn, EN. The judges of the agricultural department were James Fairclough, Robert Birch, and William Owen, Esqrs and in the horticultural department, J. Bissett, J. Mere dith, William Shaw, and Thomas Davies, jun., Esqrs. The prizes were delivered by J. J. Blackburn, Esq., the excellent and indefatigable secretary, R. Dwerryhause, Esq., reading the list.

"Unquestionably the safest (Nide to health,'" THE DOCK BOARD The usual weekly meeting of the members of this board was held yesterday, at the doelLoffices. Charles Turner, Esq., presided ; and the other members present were Messrs. J. Laird, hfondell, Smith, Rounthwaite; Tobin, Evans, Arnold, Boult, Derbyshire, Shand, Langton, and Forwood. THE LATE MR. JESSE HARTLEY. After the minutes of the last meeting had been read and adopted, The CHAIRMAN said—lt is with extreme regret that I have to announce to the members of this board, the death of our able and respected engineer, Mr. Jesse Hartley, I may say full of years and full of honours for although he had in mind a retiring disposition, he was beloved as a friend of sterling worth. He fulfilled the duties of this board most ably and successfully for a long period of years, and his loss will be much felt by the town of Liverpool, fur the prosperity of which they are so much indebted to him. The docks constructed by Mr. Hartley are able monuments to his memory, to this and future generations, as long as they exist. He concluded by expressing a hope that the Works Com mittee would immediately take steps to place Mr. J. B. Hartley, his son, in the situation held by the late gentleman. THE WORKS COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were adopted without comment. THE WAREHOUSE COMMITTEE. The report of the proceedings of this committee were read, and alluded to the folio z form of indemnity, which that committee recomoiended the board to adopt : " Inasmuch as our ship -, -, master, from -, now lying in the River Mersey, laden with guano, intended to be stored in your Birkenhead Ware houses, is now too deeply laden to approach such ware houses, we request that you will proceed to lighten her, by discharging so much of her cargo as we may find it necessary so to discharge, into fiats, which we will pro vide for that purpose, such discharge as well into flats as from them on to the quay, to be proceeded with as and when we may direct, and to be entirely at our own expense and risk." Mr. HUBBACK said he begged to move the conttma tion of the resolutions, and also the form of:indegnifi cation, a copy of which had been plated in the liaids of each member of the board. Mr. BOULT wished to know, supposing any damage occurred to the cargo in its transit to the quays in the fiats, whether or not thC board would be liable for such damages. The DOCK SOLICITOR replied that they would not, as the cargo would still be in the possession of the shipowners. After some further conversation, The CHAIRMAN said, that if the cargo was taken into flats, the captain alone was responsible until it touched the quays. Mr. MONDELL thought that the delivery into the lighters, might be considered as a delivery of cargo, and he did not think it reasonable that the servants of the board should be at the beck and call of any man. Mr. EVANS said if any damage did arise to the cargo, how was it to be decided. He would suppose a case— A Belgian captain, or any other foreigner, delivered their cargo into the flats, and after that left the port. Who would the owners of the cargo look to ? They would look to the board for the damage incurred, and say they knew nothing of any previous arrangements. The CHAIRMAN thought, as it was an important question, that it had better be referred back to the com mittee. He did not see why the captains should not employ their own Sate, and not those of the board. Mr. INMAN said, by carrying out the recommenda tion of the committee, the board would be taking upon themselves the office of stevedores. They were asked, when a vessel was too deeply laden to go into dock, to have her lightened with their own fiats ; and if they did that, they were clearly doing the work of a stevedore. Mr. SMITH explained that the recommendation alluded to guano, and guano alone ; and that the Peruvian Go vernment would have the cargo weighed and delivered by a regular constituted board. The CHAIRMAN said in all oases the shipowners were responsible for the cargo until it was delivered on the quay, and that the board should not take any responsi bility upon itself. After a few more brief remarks, the subject was referred back to the committee for re-consideration, Mr. Hubback expressing his concurrence. In reply to a question put by Mr. Forwood, Mr. Hubback said the extracts to which that gentleman had alluded had been sent to the underwriters and other Parties interested, and in reference to the tanks at the Stanley Docks, that matter was in the hands of the Works, Committee. MARINE AND PILOTAGE comonici,s. The proceedings of these committees were confirmed without comment. THE DOCKS AND QUAYS COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee stated that the captain of the vessel in which some gunpowder had been found, had been fined by the magistrates £5, and that a report had been made of two parcels of lucifer matches having been found on hoard a vessel without any notice to that effect. _ _ DA.uv5,142,1, in allusion to the fines imposed by the. magistratea on dock offences, said a friend of his had been summoned before the magistrates and fined for having goods on the dock quays. Now, he (Mr. Darbyshire) thought that some of those fines were most arbitrary. But he was not much surprised at it, as some of the magistrates who sat in judgment on these cases did not know the stem from the stern of a vessel. The goods had to he discharged on the quays, and if they were only left there for a short time the parties nese summoned and fined without any consideration. He merely stated this for the purpose of showing , that that board had nothing to do with the large fines. It was in the hands of the police. It had been said by those who had been so fined that they were marked men. The OnAiaitio.N—No; certainly not. N. PARB;r9IIIRE then went on to say that some of the adjudications were very arbitrary, particularly when they had been fined once, twice, or a third time, and hoped that more consideration would be taken into the circumstances of the cases when such. Ushes were imposed. Mr. EVANS said that Mr. Derbyshire's remarks could only t en d t o the abrogation of the dock-laws. With regard to the decisions of the magistrates, he thought that the parties were very easily dealt with. The only thing that could be done was to act on the laws as they existed, and if they took any other view, then they would get into quite a chaos. The CHAIRMAN said he could not agree with.. the remarks that had been made by Mr. Derbyshire, for he thought the magistrates had always exercised the greatest leniency, instead of being arbitrary in, their decisions. From his experience, the magistrates, generally speaking, erred , on the .side of leniency in adjudicating upon d oc k cases . T hey had all to com plain of the inadequacy of the quay space ; and if goods were to be permitted to lay upon the quay, it was a great injury to the ship that succeeded to the berth of that one from which the goods had been delivered. Therefore, it was not only necessary, but just, that fines should be increased, when it was found that the parties had not removed them after t b e , first or second summons. Mr. J. A. Torax could not agree. with the remarks made by Mr. Derbyshire, nor did he think that that gentleman had applied his usual discretion, in making the charges he had done against the magistrates—him self also being a magistrate. He did not think that there was a magistrate who sat upon the bench, that did not know the stein from the stems, of the vessel. He was sure the magistrates never decided these questions,,' without great consideration, and in imposing the tries, one question was always asked,—whether or tint the cargo occasioned any inconvenience? If there was no ineonvenienee to other vessels, then the fiuo waa small; but if there was inconvenience, or if the parties had been summoned more than once, or 'twice, or thrice, or more frequently, then the fines were increased % Mr. Tobin then requested to direct the attention of the board (for Mr. Laird had been compelled to leave the room) to an application which had. been made by Messrs. Fletcher and Co., asking that a timber ship, could, immediately upon its arrival, be taken into the Birkenhead dock-s. There had already been an application, made by Mr. Halhead to the same effect. He (Mr. Tobin), had, seen the report on the application, and he hoped, every facility would be given to that request. This was the first timber ship that would go into, the. Birkenhead !look, he therefore thought that under that circumstance every assistance should ha given to comply with the request. The Onsumume said the application Ms, that the ship should immediately upon its arriya), be admitted into the dock. The ship had not yet arrived; when it I had arrived it would be time. enough to, consider the question, as it was irepes,sihie for them now to say what dock acconimpdatian they would have. It was impossible t4at the board could then appoint vessel to go into, any particular dock ; but he might say, when the vessel did arr i ve , an d they, he4l s een,what could be done, he h a d no d ou bt b a t th a t a ll, would be done that a. could be to comply with the request. Mr. SH AND. m id h e hadnet beard all the discussion h a d , net magistrates; there could not be a doubt but that some with regard to the doCk fines imposed by the parties si feel . aggri t eveci atbeipg so,ikeventlY fined, an d bi d.( SO ncn , but he was qn ite sure that when a fine was imposed, it zyas_doge kiVertie4Y. teMood was, Making some remarks e,endee;ko94„ of the conk:A b the police in referent* to, these infor mations, when it was considered that be was out of order, and the committee's proe,eSings were confirmed. arisce4, l 4‘mous.

The usual annual giant of £lO to these infirmaries w as made on the suggestion of the chairman. A TIMBER DOCK FOR BIRKENHEAD. Mr. BOULT said, as they had been asked to give accommodation for a timber ship in the Birkenhead docks, he thought it was a question for the Works Committee—seeing that there was no accommodation for timber ships in those docks—whether they should not give such accommodation before the docks were made, and have a timber ground where timber could be placed. It could be done at a much less expense now than after the docks were completed. This being all the public business the reporters with drew. WORKHOUSE COMMITTEE. The usual weekly meeting of the Workhouse Com mittee was held yesterday, iu the board-room at the Parish-offices, Brownlow-hill, Mr. Churchwarden Crop per presiding. The other members present were Messrs. Churchwarden Smith, Owen, Critchley, Scott, Denton, Peck, Groom, Goodacre, "Williams. Mr. Carr, the governor, reported that the number in the establishment- was last week, 1,747 ; this week, 1,767; corresponding week of last year, 1,773. The number of vagrants relieved during the week in the night asylum was 432—.242 men, 150 women, and 40 children, showing a decrease of 27 persons as compared with the last week's return, and au increase of 133 persons compared with the corresponding week of last year. The medical officer reported that the number of indi viduals remaining under treatment in the hospital as per last report was 444, admitted since 135, cured and discharged 130, dead 11, remaining under treatment 438. Number dead from pneumonia 1, from bronchitis 1, phthisis 3, paralysis 2, marasmus 3, cerebral disease 1,--total 11. A letter was read from John Sampson, a patient in the hospital, who, according to his letter, had been dismissed from the police force, and, being reduced to penury, prayed the committee to advance an amount of money sufficient to carry him home to Ireland. The CHAIRMAN suggested that inquiry should be made with respect to his character. Mr. Churchwarden SMITH feared that he was dis missed from the force through his own fault. The CLERK remarked that the applicant desired, he believed, only the repayment of lls. Sd., taken from him at the time he was admitted to the hospital. The Committee directed the Governor to return the money if the applicant were worthy of relief. The CLERK explained that the large number of the vagrants relieved during the week in the sheds arose from the bad state of the weather, which had reduced the harvestmen from Ireland to a state of great necessity. APPOINTMENT OF SURGEON. The candidates for this appointment, who were requested to, attend the meeting, were in attendance, and the chairman proceeded to take the votes of the members with a view of recommending the four most eligible gentlemen.

COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT, BIRKENHEAD. (Before the Rev. R. M. FIELDEN, R. BRYANS, J. B. CASE, Sir E. CusT, Bart., J. JACRSON, and T. DAR EYSHIRE, Esqs.) Mary Burns, anything but an amiable-looking female, was charged with robbing a child, about two years of age, of threepence. The facts of this case were proved by a little girl not more than four years of age, who said, on the proceeding Tuesday she was going along ) Kent-street towards Sandford-street, when she saw the alio child with threepence in her hand, going for bread. They went to the bakers, but could not get the bread, and were returning home when they met the prisoner, who took them up an entry, and threatened to kill the child if she did not give her the threepence. The child being frightened did so, and the woman decamped, and nothing more was heard of her until sb a was apprebeaded by the poliee. The girl was posit' we as to the prisoner being the thief ; but that she ste „ Ai) , denitd, until the bench threatened to send her for ; trial, when she pleaded guilty, and was sentenced ti .) be im prisoned for fourteen days. TIKE GRAND CHARGE OF THE CHESHIRE V OLUNTEERS ON THE BIDSTON TOLL-BAR.—TiIiS case was to have been heard this day, and so much exciter dent was mani fested, that the court-house was crow ,ded. However, Mr. Bretherton stated to the bench tf. ,at it would be a great convenience to Mr. Conway a► Ad himself if it was postponed until a future day ; and., as it was a point as to who was right and who was tirrong on the occasion of the attack upon the toll-bar,, Ito evil would arise from its being postponed, provide(' 4, as Sir Edward Cost said, there was no more goin`z through gates in that way, without paying. The bench then consented to the adjournment. A CAUTION TO 'T. BIRKENHEAD MONEY-LENDERS. —Messrs. W. Currie, auctioneers, of Hamilton street, Billen } .iead, appeared to answer a summons pre ferred agel'Ast them by the Board of Inland }Menne, for havir,g advanced money upon furniture, contrary to the ac t . of Parliament, by which they had rendered them seiv,es liable to a penalty of £5O. Mr, Tyndal, the soli c:Ator to the Board, in explaining to the Bench the act of: Parliament, said it had been introduced for the purpose of protecting parties, mostly of the lower classes, &cull extortion. In Liverpool, cases had frequently bee n brought before the Bench ; but this was the first case that had occurred, to the knowledge of the Board, ot) that aide of the water. Therefore, as it might act as a caution to others, it was deemed desirable to bring it before the Bench. In this case the defendants had lent a young man £7 lOs upon some furniture, and, for six months, had charged 255. as interest. At the end of the six months he was not able to pay the prin cipal, and as the matter had come to the ears of the board, this action was brought. He then proceeded to explain, that he was perfectly sure that the defendants had acted in ignorance of the existence of the law, and, therefore, he would suggest that the magistrates should mitigate the. penalty to one-fourth —the lowest they had the power of doing. In answer to Sir Edward C os t, Mr, Tyndal said that no person keeping a shop, unless A pawnbroker's shop, could lend any sum under £lO without a license. The defendant having acknowledged that he had committed the offence under ignorance, the bench mitigated the penalty to £l2 10s., with the usual costs. FOUND DROWNED.—On Wednesday the body of a t utu named Donald Ralph, a sailor, was taken out of Canning Dock. It is supposed he fell from the ship Nymph whilst in a state of intoxication, on Tuesday night, and was consequently drowned.

The Teeth influence the form and expression of the. countenance more than is generally imagined, and the tiuest• face is disfigured if the Teeth are irregular, and a dis agreeable expression is produced. When thy• Teeth are good and regular, there is, when speaking or smiling, a fascination present which prevents further examination of the countenance. The most striking cases are those persons about the middle perfiod of life who have lost their Teeth ; for, how, ever clear and perfect their utterance may have been before their loss, it is impossible to regain it without sup— plying the deficiency by means of Artificial Teeth.
