PARTS, August 17. The Constitutionnel publishes a letter, from Turin bearing the signature of M. Grandguillot, commencing as follows :—ltaly is now entering the most critical and most decisive period of her regeneration. Henceforth, she stakes on a single card, either her ruin or her salvation. Engaged as she is in the path upon which she has been thrown by the expedition of Garibaldi, Italy will, - within two months, be either free and completely independent, or Austria will again reign, and this time from Messina to Turin. The letter then defends the course of past events, and states t the negotiations between Naples and Piedmont were unsuccessful, by reason of Garibaldi's refusal to arrest his course, and on account of the enthu siasm prevailing throughout Italy having para lysed the measures which Piedmont might other wise have taken to prevent further complications. SICILY. TURIN, Aug. 16. The Opinione publishes a despatch, dated Naples, Aug. 14, announcing that the Electoral Committees have been dissolved. The Opinione adds, although this despatch does not mention any disembarkation of Garibaldi, it nevertheless appears quite certain that he has succeeded in effecting a landing. A communication from Turin says, strong recommendations are being made to General 'Garibaldi in a dilatory sense. M. Bertani, instructed . by M. Farini, has under taken to make the Dictator comprehend that any attempt at the present time against the Neapoli tan provinces on the mainland would be unjusti fiable, the people not having manifested their wishes either by the legal means of the elections yr by a general insurrection, but appearing, on the contrary, to accept the new institutions. It is in consequence of previous representations the report goes that Garibaldi has paused. SARDINIA. A Paris correspondent of the Lidependance says, letters from Turin state that M. Ratazzi's joining the Cavour Cabinet has , become doubtful indeed. The situation of the Sardinian Ministry has become so embarrassing that it will probably tad great difficulty in recruiting its strength. The Nationalities of Turin says, the Sardinian Government intended to take part in the expedi ' tiatt to Syria, but has relinquished the design mowing to the opposition of certain powers. It will, therefore, only send some vessels of war to protect the Italian flag. AUSTRIA. The Elberfeld Gazette has the following The report that Austria had directed her ambassador at Paris to declare that she would not suffer any further extension of revolutionary proceedings in Italy is unworthy of credit." A Vienna letter contains the following : Among the liberal concessions to be made on the , occasion of the Emperor Francis Joseph's birth day, on. the 18th instant, will be a proclamation ,of the complete equality in civil and political - matters of all Austrian subjects belonging to the fdifferent religions or sects of the empire.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-YESTERDAY. Lord RFDESDALE, referring to the ncatiee given on the pre ceding evening in reference to the Savings' BAnks Bill, sug, gested that the motion should be repealed iu which case he should not oppose it, as the Government seemed to consider the question one of urgency. The Earl of Malmesbury and the Earl of Donoughmore made the same request. Earl GRANVILLE complained of the resolution of the house limiting the time of the consideration of bills, which he sa:d, had enabled Lord Monteagle to give the bill in question a fac tious opposition. However he was under the circumstances willing to postpone his notice till Monday. After some remarks from Lor4 Mouteagle, The Duke of ARGYLL approved of the coarse now taken, as the House of Commons would have looked upon the rejection of the bill as a breach of privilege. . _ . - The Earl of MALMESBURY called attention to the hardships inflicted on the volunteers in sending them to great distances to be inspected. Earl de GREY said that the Government had no power, except in cases of invasion, to send the volunteers anywhere. Their movements were wholly guided by the wishes of the several corps. The Government only appointed an officer to direct their movements. _ The Local Government Supplemental Bill, the Gas Metro polis Bill, and the Consolidated Fund £11,003,000 Bill, were read a third time and passed. The Wine License (Ireland) Bill passed tlaough com mittee; and • The house adjourned at half-past seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMON S.—YESTERDAY.

Secondly: That the principal of all Exchquer Bonds which may be so issued shall be paid off at par et the ex. piration of any period not exceeding six years from the date of • such bonds. Thirdly : That the interest of such Exchequer Bonds shall be payable half-yearly, and shall be charged upon and issued out of the Consolidated. Fund of .the United King dom, on the growing produce thereof. He explained that £1,000,000 was demanded on account of the deficient harvest, which would entail large expenses on the Government. Mr. Henley and Mr. Willoughby complained that such a resolution was brought forward without notice. The resolution Was agreed to. IR the evening, on the motion for adjournment till Monday, Colonel Fe.exeit asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if the report is correct that the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland has transferred to the Inspector-General of Constabulary the appointment of one-third of Ito resident magistrates, to be selected by him irons the force under his command ; and if so, whether he could state the grounds on which sach * *ewe of system has been made; and further inquired whether any reports showing the necessity of such a proceeding, or any communications from the Lord-Lieutenant to the Home- Office respecting it, have been made, and- are to be laid before Par liament. He complained of the tendency of the Government, to appoint the magistracy from the police. Mr. SouLLY observed that the worst class from whom magis trates could be chosen was the police force. He took the oppor tunity of complaining of the conduct of the Irish newspapers in regard to the Irish members. He wished to know Catholic if the Government intended to a pp oint a paid Roman minister as well as a Protestant one. Mr. B. OSBORNE was glad that attention had beenrawn to, the subject as the Irish pol i c e way, in anything but ad atisfac tory state. The police was utterly inefficient Pr the de Bile of crime; they were ne i th er soldiers nor policemen, . whil their military character deprived there of all the cinalielee necessary for their office, that they were becoming mere mili tary every day, and it was high time that the subject was enquired into. Mr. Cannweee said that before 1836 all the magistrates were chosen from the police force. By the act of 1837 the appointments were thrown open. Lord Carlisle had adopted the ecetree pa every third appoin tment of consulting the I spector of Police; as to the force itself it was one of the most efficient ia existence 'and would bear the most searching enquiry. In reply to Mr. N. Scully, he said that there was no intention of appointing e second conemieaiener. Lord FenmoY, after a few words be reference to the came sub ject, called the attention of the Under Secretary of Seale for the Colonies to the sacrifice of human life about to be made by the present King of Dahomey in memory of his father, anti to ask him whether he is prepared to cause some steps to be taken With a view to averting this barbarous slaughter. He urged the Government to interfere for the prevention of the horrible sacrifice, for ;welch, he said, there was yet time. • Mr. KINNAIRD asked whether anything would be done to rescue from their nntortimtde position the women and children who had been carried off in the lete Syrian outbreak ? Mr. C. FoaTeseue said, that the eeport of the intended sacrifice to the Kiug of Dahomey, Was unfortunately tco tfue. The influence of England, great as it was on the coast, did not extend inland ; but the King of Dahomey had been warned to expect British resentment if he persisted in his intentions. M rN" " kwTßcomplained of the COUE9e taken by the Government with respect to the Roman Catholic Charities Bill. Mr. HIJTT said, that though the agent of the Government in respect at the bill, he was not responsible for its conduct. Mr. H. B. Seeeeeicaze asked what steps had been taken by the Government to inquire into the cause of the late explosion at Dover. Mr. S. HERBERT said that be acapipmeaorne.d The e t v t o h l e u r n e t were ee rs hadno 144 yule inquiries, aof nd it i r i e l e P e e i r y f e e : t p i ° r u e proper e ‘i r a i instruction before they had commenced their ball practice. iniwarns terms the conduct of the structions had been sent'out to n i w t b c h h l i e e na tg e t o , conduct d rb u c e t o f conduct England tb w e it g h av re ei g m a m rd ea to t k u oq, now that the system we had fLwsfyo:3riri:al'erahs.,:wwiCfrssww'YsreEreiriLr:e:;:rniaedlsainekpfnetoeodlnyrus the cause of establishing in its present form. He wished to estub lished had turned out so ill, whether we were peppered to take any steps for a change. Sir C. NAPIER admitted that when s Egypt it was far better governed pupi to liaYe Syria w;.s tender the forit4"eentdabi: control of the Pasha cf at present. Nothing could be worse than the conduct of the Turks, as he knew from his oeYn experience their tyranny el‘ b t* u b t li4 ev il en this was the Allied Powers on that occasion began before he himself left the country. It was t e h d e a du b t e y tt o er f Government in Syria. No dou bt it was a dangerous thing to • allow France to establish herself in Syria, better than leaving the Syrians to the tender mercies of the Turks, whose promises could not be depended upon for a moment. Lord PtLaERSTON explained the efforts which had been made to bring the monarch of Dahomey to a Wit h regard to Syria, Lord Dufferin had instructions to e sense of humanity. de mand the release of the women and children taken prisone by the Druses. It was not true that the late events were due to the tyranny of the Turks; on the contrary, they were due that the British Government were responsible to the want of authority on their part. He denied altogether asters. He could not lay the instructions of Lord Dufferin upon the table of the House. But one of them was ti inquire into the beet mode of b • ringeng about a better administration recurrence these lamentable occurrences. Colonel Dxcasom denied the authority of the published papers that the Maronites were, as asserted, the first aggressors. In reference to tne Irish conBtal?4 l 4Y .5 1 !" im ' he admitted the efficiency of the police, but objected' to their b e ing made stipendiary magistrates. Mr. EsMoND made some remarks upon the sagte subject. The motion for adjournment till Monday was then negatived. On the motion that the House go into committee of supply, Mr. VAIIOE called attention to neglect of Irish business, and failure of Irish bills, during the session. After a few words of explanation from Mr. Cardwell, Sir DE LACY gyAws commented upon the present arrange ments and organisation of the militia. He regretted the determination of the Govern/neat If3a ,o allow the extension of the Toluuteor rapvqielat t 9 Ireland. AMU SEMENTS. THE SAVAGE CLUB PERFORMANCE. This entertainment promises .to be a great success, the whole of the dress circle being now let.

As an additional attrac tion, Douglas Jerrold's comedy of " Saint Cupid, or Dorothy's Fortune," will be performed by the members of the Liverpool Literary and Dramatic Society. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

Last evening a meeting of Welshmen was held in the Welsh schools, in Prince Edwin-street, for the pur pose of furthering- the formation of a division in con nection with the 39th Lancashire Pifles, in the north end of the town. Notwithstanding the inclement nature of the weather, the attendance was largo and influen tial. A detachment of :the 39th was present, and Mr. Ellis Jones was voted to the chair. After an apologetic letter from Mr. J. B. Lloyd had ,eeti read, Mr. Rien k utn U tgFFITHS, in an energetic speech, pro posed, and Mr. Williams seconded, the formation of a division for Everton. On the motion of Mr. Bracken, it was determined to place the new company on the same footing as the original one. Mr. Wx. JONEs, in seconding the foregoing resolu tion, regretted the unfavourable state of the weather, which prevented a larger number from attending the meeting. Dr. Glades asserted that every free people should be tutored to the use of arms, for the reason that no nation, whatever its bravery, could otherwise contend with trained forces. He looked upon the volunteer move ment in its relation with Wales not as an sffort to maintain nationality, but a demonstration of admira tion of the existing British institutions. He concluded by moving that the expenses .attending the enrolment of volunteers be defrayed by snhscriptions not exceeding 10s. per month. Mr. W. ROBERTS, in seconding the motion, remarked that, in an economical point of view, the Welsh corps presented greater attractions for intending volunteers than any in the town. The motion was put to the meeting, and carried. Mr. JABEZ JONES, in an eulogistic speech, moved "That this meeting expresses a hope that the Welsh residents, particularly in this part of the town, will take advantage, without delay, of the opportunity offered them to enrol, so that the loyalty of the 70,000 Welsh men of Liverpool should be manifested by as large a number of representatives as swell the ranks of any national volunteer corps in the town." This motion was seconded by Lieutenant Jones, who remarked that the Welsh corps (the 39th), numbered at present 110, and he supposed that by establishing a division in Everton, a much larger number would yet enrol. After some remarks by Mr. Henry Jones, the motion was put to the meeting and carried. Three cheers for Captain Griffiths followed, and that gentlemen explained that it was competent for the Everton Volunteers to elect their own officers if they chose, as he and his brother officers had no other object in view than the augmentation of the volunteer ranks A vote of thanks to the chairman and cheers for the Queen brought the meeting to a close.

(Before Mr. Baron WILDE.) THE LIVERPOOL BREACH Or PROICSE CASE.— GALTON V. Eaur...— : With reference to this, ease l which is fixed for Wednesday next, Baron Wilde atated. yester day morning that the defendant had called anc!lt bitla at his lodgings after the business of the day on Thursd ay , and from his expressions appeared very anxious that the case should be settled out of court, as he was afraid, should it be made public, his character would be destroyed and his prospects ruined. He (the judge) refrained with difficulty from committing him to prison for the intrusion, and of course refused to listen fo his proposals, intimating that if he desired to say anything referring to the case he should do so through hi s counsel in court. The case will be interesting locally, since the fair complainant is the daughter of a gentle manwho is well known in commercialial circles, and th e defendant is a relative of Mr. Earle, a member of the Town Council. MARSUA.I4. V. CORPORATION OF thi s case Mr. Thos. Marshall, colliery proprietor, of Wigan, sought to recover the sum of £63 15s. from the Mayor and Corporation of Wigan, under the following circum stances :—On the 19th of January last Mr. John Mar shall, the plaintiff's brother, whilst driving a horse and trap through Wigan-lane, came into contact with a mound of earth, at which the horse took fright, darted away, and at length tumbled into a gully hole connected with the sewerage, and was killed. There were two public gas lamps Within a distance of thirty yardS ; but the usual fire was absent. The plaintiff's counsel con tended that the accident was the result of the defen dants' negligence; and witnesses were called, wh o deposed that the horse was a quiet animal; and was proceeding, at the time of the occurrence, at the rate of five or six miles an hour. One of the witnesses stated that he passed the mound without perceiving it, immediately before the plaintiff, and only saw it by the glare of the plaintiff's, lamp. The defendants, on the ol.hel hand, alleged that the driver of the vehiclewas incompetent and anskifful, and the horse running at the rate of eight or ten miles an hoar. The gully hole was protected in the usual manner, and no negligence could be attached to the corporation. A great number of witnesses were called on both sides. The learned judge summed up in a clear manner, and the jury returned a verdict for the full amount. The counsel for the plaintiff were Mr. Mellish and Mr. Fitzsimon. Mr. Monk and Mr. Jones defended. The case occupied sayer prpe hours. ALLEGED FRAUD BY A GROCER.--GRAVE S v. WIL SON.—,Mr. Janes appeared for the plaintiffs and Mr. Price defended. The action was brought by Mr. John Warrington Graves, grocer, of York, to recover from Mr. Lawrence Wilson, farmer, of Whitby, the sum of £135, being a balance on a bill of exchange for £2OO, drawn by Alfred Wilson, grocer, of York, and accepted by the defendant. From the opening remarks of the counsel, it appeared that Alfred Wilson, who carried on the business of grocer in the city of York, and was the nephew of the defendant, Was 81, 11 ) Pliesi With a quantity of grocery goods by the plaintiff, who, after some preliminary arrangements, accepted on the 4th of April a bill of exchange made payable on the 7th of June. The bill was accepted by the defendant, whose signature was attached to it in due form ; and the plaintiff was satisfied that everything 'was right. However, so that there might be no doubt on the plaintiff's mind aboqt the stability of the defendant, he sent him a letter, enclosing a copy of the bill of exchange, and intimating that if the moneywas not paid o n the 7th of June, the bill would be returned dishonoured. The receipt of this letter was admitted. Haying heard rumours, however, of the instability and expected t'ailure of Mr. Alfred Wilson, plaintiff sent a "reminder" to the defendant. The result was the nephew called upon him and desired a renewal of the bill, which was refused. At length, however, plaintiff was induced to renew the bill, on condition that an instalment of £65 was paid on account. The money was paid, and the bill renewed on the Ist of June. Some time afterwards Wilson's the "nephew's" goods were advertised for sale. On hearing this, the plaintiff sent a letter to the defepdant, enclosing a copy of the bill announcing the sale: There was no reply received. The sale took place, and immediately afterwards the nephew disappeared. Plaintiff, accompanied by a public officer holding a writ, visited the defendant at his farm, and found that Wilson, the uncle, 'had not signed the bill of exchange, or at all events he denied having done s°. ith resept to the letters Okla plaintiff had sent him, he said that none but one arrived at their destination. The attorneys of the parties met subsequently, and the defendant offered to compromise the affair by paying an amount of money which the plaintiff considered tar too small, On behalf of the HIE DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1860. defendant it was urged that the signature attached to the bill of exchange was a forgery, and the whole transaction a series of frauds. The letters which the plaintiff addressed to the defendant appeared to have been left by the postman in a small cottage, where, it was contended their progress was intercepted through the agency of .the " nephew," who, obtaining posses sion of them, was enabled to answer each verbally. Witnesses were called in support of this statement, and after the Judge had summed up the evidence, the jury found a verdict for the defendant. THE EDUCATIONAL SYNOPSIS OF THE ASSIZE CALENDAR. Having given our readers the details of each case which has been tried during the assizes for the southern division of the county of Lancashire —including as it does the two great emporiums of commerce Liverpool and Manchester—we now lay before our readers an educational synopsis of the calendar, in which is shown the amount of education that each of the persons committed had received, and the offences for which they were tried, with the respective punishment awarded. From this synopsis we find that the city of Manchester sent twelve offenders, whose offences were of such a nature that Baron Martin found it necessary not only to pass upon them very severe sentences, but also, in his observation-3 upon passing sentence upon the prisoners from that city, to comment upon the immense amount of crime which existed in that city, and also on the means that were adopted for the frustration of the ends of justice, which he said, had " happily not had its effect ;" because the gang of marauders had been broken up. Liverpool, the great mercantile commercial port of the world, with its heterogeneous population, has contributed her share to this ealender, and has sent eighteen pris,oners for trial ; and it will be found that amongst that number were some of the most atrocious cases that can possibly be ima gined, including, as was remarked by the learned Baron, in his charge to the grand jury, "every crime except treason," which had to be disposed of. All those cases have been brought before the tribunal of justice, and disposed of, with the exception of one,—that particular case in which the accused has to be tried for the wilful murder of a female by the administration of antimony, being fixed to take place on Monday morning next ; so, with that exception, we are enabled to place before our readers the amount of punish-. ment each prisoner received, and the amount of education he had received, at one view. The educational synopsis of the calendar is as follows, with the punishment they haVe received: Burglary-8 months' imprisonment. Unlawfully stabbing-12 months' imprisonment. Burglary—Acquitted. Unlawfully stabbing-12 months' imprisonment. Manslaughter—Penal servitude for life. Rape-12 months' imprisonment. Manslaughter—Bill ignored.

It is understood that the Great Southern and Western . Railway Company will form a junction with the Youghal line, so as to facilitate the forwarding of passengers and goods from Dublin to Queenstown.— Cork Herald. GARIBALDI AND AUSTRIA.—A significant and char acteristic fact, or rather series of facts, has iqat, come to our knowledge. When the NPar between Austria and Frar,ee syas imminent, ami danger to Venice was anti cipated, the Austrian government deputed an officer of engineers, an aide-de-camp of the Emperor, to inquire into and report upon a formidable means of warfare, (Macintosh's system,) by which sea-faced works of de fence (can be rendered absolutely untenable withoqt a blow being struck. That officer attended a most suc cessful experiment, which was conducted secretly upon a spot selected on our own coast ; and he came to the conclusion that the system was unquestionably practic able, and altogether in favour of the attacking party. We now learn that this system, haying heen hrought to the notice of Garibaldi, is in a fair way of bein g practi cally tested against Naples as well as Venice, if need be. In the hands of such a man as Garibaldi this system of warfare will doubtless prove a most efficient means of making up for the deficiency of his naval power. We are also able to state that Garibaldi is putting himself in possession of large quantities of incendiary projectiles of a most formidable character. Projectiles of this kind can be constructed for any arm from a rifle to a 109,- pounder ; and while possessing all the ottlYAntages of rifle projectiles in respect of range and precision, at the same time carry an incendiary charge which blazes for some minutes after reaching its destination with an intensity so great that water cannot extinguish it. We have our selves had an opportunity of witnessing the terrible character of projectiles constructed upon this principle for small arms, and we belieN:e that no troops in the world will ever be brought to face men armed with such terrific means of destruction. We may. ad,d ghat, the projectiles in question, gltbotigli hitherto unused, are not all altogether recent invention, but have been well experimented upon for some time past, and have already been manufactured in quantity. This remark refers to those for small arms, about the supply of which there CAD, therefore, be no doubt,—Xechollies' Magothic NORTH AND SOUTH WALES BANK. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of proprietors was held at the Clarendon-rooms, yesterday. There was a full attendance of proprietors; Mr. Richard Griffith, chairman of the directors, in the chair. Mr. Rae, the general manager, read the report, of which we append an abstract, which was received with applause, and carried unanimously. The retiring directors were re-elected ; and after a vote of thanks to the officers of the bank, and to the chairman for his conduct in the chair, the meeting separated. The directors have pleasure in submitting to the pro prietors the following statement, which will show' the result of the operations of the bank for the past year The profits for the year ended 30th June, 1860—after deducting interest due to depositors, rebate of interest on bills, salaries and all other charges and expenses, and making provision for losses—amount to Deduct dividend at 8 per cent. per annum on shares held by proprietors, including those held by the bank, viz.:— Half-year ended 31st Dec., 1859 ... £6,4e3 10 0 Half-year ended 30th June, 1860 Income-tax paid by bank 484 15 3 -- -- . 13,411 15 3 Surplus profits of the year 12,177 7 3 The amount of undivided profits, or reserve, as per last report, was . 24.041 16 4 The amount is now therefore But according to clause 70 of the Deed of Settlement, the Reserve Fund cannot exceed a certain percentage of the capi tal. In the opinion of the directors it may be expedient, at a future time, to take steps to amend this clause, but as the Deed now stands the Reserve Fund cannot exceed There will therefore remain at the disposal -- - of the present meeting the sum of. ,117,901 13 7 It will be in the knowledge of the proprietors that in eonsequence of heavy losses sustained by the bank, prior to 1847, it became necessary to write off as lost one forth of the paid up capital, and the shares were accord. ingly reduced from £lO to £7 10s. each. Now, there ore, that the reserve fund has been made up to the limit prescribed by the deed of settlement, the directors are of opinion that the next application of surplus profits should be towards a restoration of the capital. They therefore propose that the above surplus of £17,901 13s. 7d. be set aside as the commencement of a fund for this purpose, to be called the Restoration of Capital Fund, and that the annual dividend be not raised above its present rate of 8 per cent. per annum, nor any bonus declared until the fund shall have accumulated to such an amount as, in the opinion of the directors, will justify them in restoring the shares to their original amount of £lO each. The account's and bills at the head office and branches have as usual been carefully examined by the directors, and the securities taken at such value as they are expected eventually to realise without trenAing on the reserve fund. To render the examination more com plete, a dephtation of the directors, accompanied by the General Manager, have recently visited every branch of bank, and investigated the accounts, bills, and securities, on the spot ; and the result of the investigation through out has been satisfactory. The bank will lose nothing by Oie failures in the leather trade, or by the reoent oases of embezzlement and forgery at Ahyl. BIRKENHEAD RAILWAY COMPANY. The half-yearly meeting of the Birkenhead, Lanca shire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Company • was held yesterday at the company's. offices, Cathcart -street, Mr. Darbishire nresidAg. The (NAIRI A AS said that the late chairman, Mr. Salisbury, having, together with Mr. Townshend, one of the directors, resigned, he had been requested to take the ofOce of chairman,. which he. had agreed to do. Before the ordinary business was proceeded with he wished to say a few words respecting a statement which had been published in the Manchester Guardian and _other papers, and made by Mr. Chapman, the chairman of one of the railway companies, to, the effect that that company had been negotiating with 'other companies. TUE) ellEtir . nlett then quoted from the minutes to, show that they had entered into no Aeggti4tions which could contravene the arrangements with the two great companies. After a few comments upon the report, the chairman explained that the reasons they did not recommend the filling up of the vacancies caused by the retirement of Mr. Salisbury and Mr. Townshend were, first, that those remaining ontln hoa L rd would be sufficient to carry on the business, and secondly, because the, two. ccompantes might reclaim to elect two directors to sit upon the board until the act WA passed. The report, which was taken as read, was as follows : '"At the adjourned meeting held on the 21st of July last, the proprietors were informed that the London and North Western and the Great Western Companies had completed their arrangements for working the Birken head Railway under the powers of the act obtained by the Birkenhead Company in 1859, and that the seals of the three companies had been atti ! xed to, the wor,king agreement, dated August, compliance with the provisions of the act, ,the 4gre.ement is now, b,efere the Board of Trade for their sanction, an attaining which the joint companies will, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, pay to the Birkenhead proprietors their dividend for the half year ending June 30th, 1860.

"In consequence of an alleged informality in the notices convening the meetings oftku, pkikrietarik of the three companies, for the up,p,roxnl of the propos4l work ing agreement, in August and September, 1859, it has been decided (in order to place the matter beyond doubt) to issue fresh notices, and to take a confirmatory vote of the proprietors at the August meetings of the three coin ponies, at which meetings the working agreement will accordingly be submitted for approval and confirmation. The present notices have beeadrawn up by the solicitors of the respective companies, and the same focin of reso lution will be submitt.ed to the propiet.cra of each com pany.

In'accordance with a custom, honoured with many years' observance, the eminent firm of Messrs. Maefie and Sotis, sugar refiners, gave yesterday their annual treat and excursion to their employes: Shortly before eight o'clock in the morning, nearly 900 persons (or, to be as exact as possible, 860) assembled on the North Landing-stage, preparatory to proceeding to Chirk and Chester. The steamer which had been engaged for their conveyance to the Monk's Ferry slip was soon filled—cabin, deck, and paddle-boxes were crowded with the excursionists when the boat left Liverpool, at about 16 minutes past 8 o'clock. Everything promised ' ad agreeable day, except that which upon such °cell '. 'Sion' is always the principal consideration—the weather. It at lei-opposed the wishes of all, and was of the most disagreeable kind which could have been had. At an early hour in the morning " Scotch mist" was thick, and rain fell heavily at frequent intervals. The passage across the river was made amidst a drizzling rain, but the company put a good face on the matter, and under the influence of an excellent, brass-band, the good humour of the party was not in any way diminished. At Monks' Ferry the company was met by Mr. R. Made, by whom they were accompanied to the station, and during the remainder of the excursion. A long train (specially engaged for the conveyance of the excursionists) was quickly filled, and without stoppage, mishap, or misfor tune (barring the weather) they arrived at Chester, whence they proceeded to Chirk. It is scarcely possibl e to exaggerate the amount of misfortune which people will "put up with " and disregard when intent upon enjoying themselves, especially when, as in the present instance, that enjoyment has been provided by the kind ness and liberality of their employers. In the smaller as in the larger concerns of life it is generally the best plan to look ill-fortune in the face, and to defy its power. So in the present case. The weather, which at first threatened to mar the enjoyment of one (to some perhaps the only one) pleasurable day in the year, was smiled at, and at last, before arriving at Chirk, the rain consented to hold up, and the sun occasionally peeped from beneath the black clouds which threatened an unpleasant day. Passing the beautithl scenery of the Vale of Llangollen. we arrive at the romantic little village of Chirk. Here the company rambled fur some time over the lanes and fields, and valleys and mountains, of the district, and then walked to the castle. Every one who visits Chirk has a look at the castle : it is one of the lions of the place, and if only as an historical curiosity, the spectator will feel well repaid for walking two miles,.which is its distance. from the station. About half an hour was agreeably wiled away in the inspection of this place, and on returning to the village various amusements were indulged in, within a large field containing a refresh ment tent. Foot-ball, racing, and dancing were exten sively patronised, and indulged in until half•past two in the afternoon, when the. company returned to Chester. Preceded by the band, and succeeded by a number of pipers in Sootoh costume, they marched through the tawn towards the Music-hall. The appearance of nearly 1,000 men and women (for the numbers had beau aug mented since the morning by the arrival of stragglers), accompanied by several Scotch pipers in full dress, is not an every day occurrence in the quiet town of Ches ter; and it was, therefbre, hardly surprising that they should attraet great attention. The appearance of the urea excited much admiration, for they were all well dressed, and having with them their wives, sweethearts, and their little onee looked as happy and conteated as mortals ever canlook. A little rain began to, fail again, but it was soon over, and upon the whole. the weather in the latter part of the day• coald not fairly bear much blame. At all events it was a great improvement upon the morning when it was in the state described by the " Lancashire man in London," when he said " Ould Moore and the rest of the Almalutek makers have been on the spree, and so we've bad no sort o' weather at all." IA the, Music-hall a liberal tea was provided, consisting of the usual delicacies, strawberries and gooseberries, Wake, &c., &c. After tea, Mr. Maefie took the chair, and in a few pointed remarks addressed the men. He noticed the object, of these meetings, which he said wera •far the purpose not only of relaxation, tint tp Trigg the men together and to make them, fee} that they were all - united by one common tie, and membere of the.same great family. He referred to those periods in the history of Scotland when English kings had visited it under circumstances very different fro - m the present oyes, and he thought that if Queen Victoria could now come and see them, as, they were assembled together for a common purpose, she would feel proud of them. Notwithstanding the wetness of the morning,, he ventnred to say that there was not one man, woman, o; 04 , 4 .w h o Atad accompanied them on their excursion who, had regretted, doing so. They had come together for the purpose of enjoying themselves, and he did not intend to interfere in the least with that enjoyment by detaining them with a long speech. ite , cons eluded by calling upon Mr. M'cline, and Mrs. Fitzpatrick for a Scotch duet, -which was given in good style, and enthusia,stically applauded. Mr. John Graham ithe vice-chairman) then made some observations, in, the course of which he alluded to the kindness. of Mr. Macfie in trying to make all his servants so, happy, and he trusted that God would long grant him health and strength to preside over such meetings u,Den future occasions. Various songs were then sung by the men, and the band and the pipers kept the spirits of the party up to the highest possible pitch, until it was time to depart. It was curious to observe the nationality of these people ; the ' Scotch, the English, the Irish, and the Welsh, were all represented here. But Scotland claimed the majority. For what with " Auld Lang Syne," which was repeated over and over again by the chorus aid the band, and the other attendants of th e party, and "My Ain Fireside," and Burns; favourite ballads, the English, and the Welsh, sod the Irish were thrown completely into the back-ground. If there was one thing more than another which called for special remark it was the conduct of the men. It i s scarcely,. to be expeeled that when a large number of men, of various classes• of life, meet together, as in the present case, avowedly for the purpose of enjoying themselves as much as they can, that they should all keep within those bounds of propriety which, under other circumstances, there would be no temptation to break through. But these men, whether taken collec tively or individually, were in their conduct most ex emplary ; and it seemed that the spirit which gave rise to that treat OA the past of their employers was recipro cated by. the men, who vied with each other, to show their appoeciation of the liberal manner in which they were being entertained. The rain was falling heavily as the party returned to Liverpool, but they returned to their homes dissatisfied with nothing, and highly gratified with the result of their excursion. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.7-YESTERDAT. (Befexe Mr. RAFFLES.) A GANG (W PICKPOCKETS.-CURIOUS CASE. Charles Patchett and John Freeman, two well-dressed, young fellows, were charged with picking pockets in the new Roman Cathnlie chapel in Eldon-street on Wednesday night last. The following is a. history of this case, which is rather curious. It appears that the prisoners belong to a gang of travelling thieves, which consists of males and females, and that a number of these eame to Liverpool for the express purpoie of attending 'at the opening of the chapel to carry on their operations expecting a full ba7rvest. There was. a great cvowd of people at the chapel on Wednesday night, and the prisoners were there and made "Ileitis"- of several watches, purses, and other property. Some persons missed their watches, and a cry was raised that there were thieves in the building, and this caused much confusion, of which the prisoners availed themselves to a considerable extent, and pulled watches and purses in plenty, which they passed to female and other companions, •who got away with them. Shortly. one of the priests in the chapel, caught the hand of Patchett in his pocket and seized him, when the prisoner Freeman struck hits} on the arm, and then the other got away, but both were caught by • a pOlice officer, attempting to escape from the chapel ; The prisonet Was identified by a lady, in vOlose pocket they had their hands, and on their persons were found a locket a nd e t ther things that ha .l been stolen from the pockets•of ladies in the building. The most curious part of the case was the recognition of the prisoners by detective officer Laycock. He saw a brooch in the breast of a female, with a - likenesa in it, and this being of a peculiar construction, on a swivel, con tained another likeness on the back. He. knew he had seen the brooch before, and on looking into the dock he at once recog nised the prisoners as ta,o fellows he had arrested last May at the fete given at Alton Towers, by the Earl of Shrewsbury, for pocket Ockiug, and .who 'were imprisoned in Stafford gaol. The prisoners were also recognised by William Holt, of Salford gaol, as persons who got three months there for Dietin g pockets. The prisoners were niw remanded, until the ownera of the property found on them came forward to identify the articles. , CHARGE OF 'VIOLENT ASSAULT. Edward Gault; a Prussian sailor, charged John Mitchell w ith hajng violently assaulted. han with a " sling shot " in the head. Mr. Parker was for - complainant, and Mr. Muck fordeeend.ant. It appeared that the latter keeps, or manages, a boarding-house in Pitt-street, and some time ago the prose cutor lodged at that house, and it seemed he Owed money there. On Tuesday evening the prisoner Met htm, ant, according to the evidence; gave him a severe blow with a sling shot on the head, inflicting a dangerous wound. The prose cutor admitted to Mr. Blu i ck that he shipped, got an advance note, which he bad cEtshed, ran off from the ship, and did not pay his bill at the lodging-house. Mr. Black said he would cAisPrOve the statement as to the assault ; but be would wish to have the cloitor Riho attended the complainant, in order to ascertain the extent of the injury. The prisoner was therefore remanded to this day. (Before Witbasti: HOUGHTON and L. PEEL.) •' : . ' THE COW-KEEPER'S WIFE. John Owens, cow-keeper, of 3 3, ekr e rry-hule, summoned Elizabeth Owens, his wife, for hating • "thrashed " him !

The Teeth influence the form and expression of countenance more than is generally imagined, and the ADVIL face is disfigured if the Teeth are irregular, and a dis agreeable expression is produced. When the Teeth are good and regular, there is, whea speaking or smiling, a fascination present which prevents• further examination of the countenance. The most striking cases are those persons about the middle period of life who have lost their Teeth; for, how ever clear and perfect th e i r utterance m ay have been. before their loss, it is impossible to rel i t it t plying the deficiency by means of Arti alTwel Without suP etthlio.
