LIVERPOOt POLidt 1-.T'ttlitIGE:CCE.—tEsTtbAT BEFORE mA244,aritap, CHARGE or KEEPING A BAD HOGrst.—:Tint Pritchard, alias Goff, was brought up by detective office iledman, on a charge of keeping an improper house in t arbock-street, and also for having attempted to procure Om seduction of a girl named Ellen 'Wilcox. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prisoner. It appeared that, on the to'th of April, the prisoner lived in Tarbock-street, and'fhat on that night she had tried to destroy the girl. The cross-examination of Mr. Cobb, although very strong, did not alter the case, and the prisoner was sent for trial. BEFORE MR. JOHN eTEWAR.T. CHARGE OF EMBErZLEMENT.—ohn Picurell, a was charged with having embezk l ik3d certain sums belonging to his employer, Thomas Simpson. Mr. Adel was for the prosecutor, and Mr. Cobb for the defence. Vhi case lasted a long time. The facts were these. Mr Thomas Simpson was the manager of Mr. Briscoe establishment, and had all the 'cars, &c., in his 'name. The defendant was a driver in the complainant' s employment. The ladies of the convent 'of the Sisters of Mercy were in the habit of emPloying the prisoner to drive them, and he used to receive payment at 'stated periods for this. It was alleged that he had received payment that he did not return to his emplOyer, and that latterly he had set up a car for himself, and 'tl.ds was the charge against him. It was proved by one df 'the Sisters of Mercy that, certain sums had been paid to 'the prisoner by the Sisters of Mercy, and the owner of the ear proved that such sums had not been received by him. Mr. Cobb, on the part of the prisoner, showed that his &kilt had engaged other carmen to drive the ladies and hail 'paid them, and that when he was absent he paid tbeTarrnan, and subse quently received the money himself after`payn% his owner. Some witnesses were produced to /neve this, and the prisoner was discharged. • .• SMASHING.— Mary Fagan was charged with passing base coin at Satton's public-house, Renshaw-street. She went into the public-house on Saturday, anasucceeded in palming off a bad shilling on the barmaid. This morning she attempted a like offence, but was apprehended. She was put down. STEALING COTTON.—Two women were charged with were known, they were discharged Another WOMA7I 'l' sent to gaol for one month for an ,cifenee CHARGE AGAINST 1,141,11 Roberts was charged with receiving a quantity of •gtolen property, consisting of a peculiardescription of iron. Mr. Mansfield said that there was no' evidence to show that , tbe prisoner had any knowledge of 'the property being stolen, and she was discharged. • " INTENDED " VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS IN LIVERPOOL. TO THE EDITOR OF TIFE NORTHERN =ES. Sir,—l was " exceedingly " amused, if not "con siderably" instructed, in reading your report•Of the speeches delivered at the meeting, on Friday—a meeting for the purpose of forming a Volunteer Rifle Corps in Liverpool. lam quite conscious that my intellect is not as sharp and decisive as they crack of a Kentuckyan rifle; and probably this is the-reason I could not discover, in the speeches delivered on that occasion, anything about the formation of a rifle corps at all. There was some talk about "loyalty," and more about invasion—but not - to the purpose, as Hamlet saith. Indeed the "'hero of Kars" was so far out of the vein, that he was led to believe he was at a quiet dinner party, and wound up admirably by " proposing the health of the Mayor !" Had he had a glass of 'Champagne in his honoured sword-hand, it would have been an excellent wind-up to the meeting, which was about the most ludicrous gathering that has been wit nessed, time out of mind, in the " good old town." No doubt " rifles " and corps " were mentioned two or three times, and had the ,speakers added a final " E" to "corps,' It would have been the most appropriate thing that could have happened. I was at the meeting, and it afforded me great satisfaction to see so much of the young blood of England, with fiercely down-turned collars and unwhiskered faces, present;-and how they gloried with military—" firey "—enthusiasm when they heard the " young soger boy" tell them how he had " worked his way up,"—l quote your own report of his speech,—although he is, as he says himself, only a "cotton broker !" By the way, this young hero, however, appeared to know something about those uncommonly stubborn things, called figures, for he showed that any of the generals, in embryo,— shirt-collars and all, —might become a rifle-man for £7 is 6d. Only think of it'! Seven pounds one shilling and sixpence - cheap as dust—to become a soldier, for the defence of the 'Queen and country !" And then just contemplate the value for the outlay-=the " right about face," the " left shoulder forward," the grace of " stand ing at ease," the " quick march," and a hundred other equivalents--who would not become a rifle-man after this ? But how many " young blood," who heard Mr. Bousfield enumerate the prices of the " knapsack," &c., could afford to pay -the odd shilling and sixpence, instead of the £7? Was the gentleman in earnest when 'he used the following Words ?—" A fine artillery corps might be made out of the shipwrights and others about the docks." If the final "E " had been added to the " corps " in this sentence, it would have been com plete. Did any of the speakers offer to do what would raise a real and efficient body—the " sinews of war ?" No, not a shilling was offered. Sir, it is easy to talk of rifle corps, and patriotism, and defence of the " Queen and country." All -looks well, sounds well, and all is very quickly accom plished on—PAPER ! It is a mockery to 'hold such empty, "gassy" gatherings as that of Friday. It may have made the unthinking shout; but th e j u di c i ous must grieve at the folly o such proceedings. Talk is a cheap article; but had a shilling a head'been charged for entrance to that meeting, how many per sons would have bee n p resen t ? I should be sorry to predict the failure of the project ; but, as the promoters of the corps are trying to get the thick end of , the wedge in first, they will soon find that, instead of a " corps," they will be in reality a "corpse" before -.long. If there is to be a Volunteer Rifle Corps in 'Liverpool, let the "prince merchants," the wealthy shopkeepers and traders, at once subscribe sufficient sums to purchase clothing and arms, and let those 'be given to strong men, like the " shipwrights and others about the docks"—men who could and would, in case of need, be ready 'to shed their blood in defence of their Queen and country— and a real Rifle --Corps may be found in the "good old town." But if ;such elements as composed the meeting on Friday be the peg on which dependence for the formation of such a body rests, -Liverpool will become the laughing-stock of the kingdom. , Mr. Torr spoke of America and Switzerland; but.are the corps of these countries composed of such persons as are counted anynight by the police in the midnight revels in the sup per-rooms of Lime-street? By inserting these hastily thrown-together suggestions, you, Mr. Editor, may be the means of enlightening the public, and provoking- a discussion that may lead to some practical results, instead' of windy suspirations of forced breath which, as a well-known friend says, is all "gammon." —I am, sir, yours, &c., " A KNOWING SHOT." Liverpool, 23rd May, 1859. of the -~--~-- THE " BOUSFIELD " RIFLE. • O THE. EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TTMES. Sir, — Mr. Bousfleld stated, at the meeting for the formation of a Rifle Corps, that a "cap and rifle could be had for 32s 6d. The latter weapon should he called " the Bousfield rifle." I know something about rifles and rifle-shooting, and I can tell Mr. 8., who appears to be the inventor of such a gun, that the man who would have the hardihood to discharge it would run 100 chances of being killed, rather than the m an a i me d a t. A rifl e for 30 s. —oh ! Yours, &c., 21st May, 1859. A RIPLE SHOOTER. The Pope has prat esente Lee d ds. cameo to a C atholic bazaar, which is beingheld The Times says that, in consequence of the n ew organisation of the Royal Artillery, tho appointment of a major-general to command that corps in Ireland has been discontinued. The Herald states, the drafts of the International Security Bank of Havannah were ret urne d yesterday, accompanied by instructions that they may be presented again after the arrival of the nest mail. Several of the drafts, ranging for sums of £l,OOO and £2,000, have p assed throuel the hands of the notaries. DiitliEkttab COM missianns A Special meetin of the Birkenhead Commissioners was held in their Be a rd-room, Hamilton-square, at half.past nine o'clock ytsterday, for the purpose of receiving a report from the eiiikamittee appointed to inquire into the subject of the incorporation of the township The chair was taken by Mr. ifohn Laird, and the other members present were-- Messrs. Ray, M'Gill, Bayliss, Barnett, Bradley, lieightley, Gotigt, Bell, and Willoughby. The following report was read:— ItErORT Of the Committ, , d to take into considention the ffemorial to the Continissi6 s respect ing a Charter corp oration ommittee haVe rah& inquiries ms to the mode of proeeedi xpense of obtaining, aVharter of incoroc tion, under the provisitins of the acts for tht regulating :orporations, and have teken the opinion dt counsel upon the effect • of a charter, 'oath relatiton to the powers and dutieS of tk sioners, anti the . hitOrests of the ratepayers —The mode of proceeding to obtain a. •dharter of incorporation, to present `a petliion to the Queen in COuucil, stating the upon whi•eli the ' , application is made, and describing the district proposed to be:incorporated. The iktition should be signed by a majority of oNVlters and ratepayers, and a very full statetnent of fhe grounds of ilieupplication, grounds particulars, muse be left`wlth it, at the Piirjr Council offs, A month's notice of the inteation to take the petition into eon sideration,*4l,ll then be publishetiiin the Gazette. Within•tha time pn - tiOns against the grant , a the charter may be presented the appointment of a commissionerqa hold a _ , at incltnry. The commissioner would hear evidence in support the petition, and any ohjeotions, either to the 'ptiniiplle of the ihrtermr to the proposed bcrondaries The'report of the eutnnikstioner w 'Oh ball points, the cost of a charter, if 'ttopposecl, would be 'belNeen £7OO and • 7 Ztfoo, but would of roursebe much increase tYppesed If a charter of incorporation were granted 'to'larkenhead and l'Claughton, under the utts for rel gulating muniCipal corpotations, it would he imperalive upon the Council to appOint a Watch Corn • .• y rate to pros cease on notice being given, as provided 'he commissioners would retain other powers and property vested in them by'the•scveral Birkenhead ritnprovement acts, bn would have power, if they should think fit; to transfer such power and property to'the corporate body In the event of such transfer being mtde by the commissioners, all the property vested iu them as su:th commissioners, would 1 'in. the Council for the -same purposes, and the income thercorivotild be carried to the account of the borough fund of the incorporated district Counsel is of opinion that an Act Parliament would not be required to give effect to such transfer, but observes, it would be for the consideration of the promoters of a charter, whether for greater certainty they should not apply for an act. The expense such an act would, of course, greatly increase the expense 'of the proceedir The Council' would have the power of levying the rates now levied by the commissioners, which are limited to 3s in the pound, and'in addition a borough rate of unlimited extent. The Council would not be able to exercise the powers of sale , of land now vested in the commissioners, but would be obliged to obtain the sane Von of the Lords of the Treasury for every sale and disposal of any-of their land beyond a lease for thirty years. This would be prolluctive of great inconvenience, and would seriously interfere 'with - the disposal of land for reduction of the bonded rlnh+ In the event•of a transfer of the powers of the commissioners to rporate body, the bondholders would be deprived of the right tx rditions •.• • if their assent to the Act of Parliament, by which the arrears of interest on the bonded debt were capitalised, and the rat( of interest reduced from 5 to 31 per cent., and other advantages secured to the,commissioners If any other places than Birkenhead and Claughton should bc included br the Goyernment Cammissioner within the district to be incorporated ; such places would be subject to a borough rate, but now levied by the commissioners, nor - to any part of the present debt of tho , township, The committee have collected the best information they can on this important subject, and must now leave the question in the lands of ,the - ratepayers, calling their special attention to the Following 1. That, taller a charter of incorporation, the present limit to he taxation of the township to 3s. in the pound would be entirely 2. That, without their consent, it would be a breach of 'faith with the bondholders, who 'cannot have a representative-at thr board, under the municipal corporation acts, 3. That the sale of lands for the reduction of the mortgage debt would be seriously impeded. The Chairman moved the adoption of the report, observ ing that it went so fully into the details of the question, as to need no further explanation from him. If any gentleman wished to a& any questions regarding it, the Law-clerk would be ready to answer him. Mr. Keightley seconded the adoption of the report. Mr. Gonf2ll said, it seemed to him that the report did not actually recommend anything. Dr. Baylis obs erve d - that the committee was appointed merely to report upon the subject. . . The Chairman said, the memorial from the ratepayers was to request that the.subject should be enquired into. The committee had enquired into it, and laid the matter before the board; And it was now for the board,. the rate payers, or the - town generally, to take upon themselves to say whether they would adopt the act. Mr. Gough suggested that the best way would be to call a public meeting of the ratepayers. The Chairman : I 'think the better course would be this— the report has 'been drawn up with considerable care, let it go before the public through the means of the press, and it will be then for the inhabitants, if they wish to have a public meeting, to call upon the commissioners for, that purpose. Certainly if a requisition be presented, I should be ready to calla public meeting, in order to have the mat ter discussed, .and to give every one an opportunity of expressing his opinion. Ido not think we should take any further steps in the matter at.present. Dr. Baylis said, if the report were passed, he should be prepared to move that the -matter be adjourned to another meeting. At first it seemed a very simple matter of trans fer, but upon enquiry there were found to be so many serious obstacles in the way, that he thought, the township ought to be aware of what they were doing before giying their consent. The question -of taxation was a very important one. He 'knew parties who had come to that township, and invested money,'in the belief that 3s. in the pound was the highest amount of taxation to which the local authorities could go. According to the report that limitation would no longer exist. Mr. Waln had said that an act of parliament was not required ; but he would ask Mr. Wain whether, if the bondholders did not consent, it would not be necessary then to seek for an act of parlia sient ? 1 Mr. Wain said he•did not know th a t th e mere o b jection of the bondholde rs wou ld i nvo lV e that necessity. Dr. Baylis : But wou ld they not have a l ocus s t an di to eonipel us to go to parliamext ? Mr. Waln apprehended Chat they would have great diffi culty. As ratepayers, they might object.to a charter being granted, but when granted they would ;not have power to compel the board to go to :parliament. In answer to a further question, Mr. Wain - said, it would certainly deprive the ratepayers of the power of ,having a repre sentative at the board. Dr. Baylis : It would be a broach of .faith, in fact. Mr. Wain : It would be a. broach of faith, without their ;onsent The Chairman said, he thought he could go somewhat further. They had been advised by,eounsel that, it would not be absolutely necessary to seek for an act of parliament, but that it would be better they should go.for one. He apprehended, if they went to parliament, the bondholders could go there and oppose them. Mr. Waln : Certainly, they would have the power. Dr. Baylis asked, what would be the cost of an act ? Mr. Waln said, he could not tell. The lowest cost would probably be £2,000. Mr. Rae said, the most serious objection, if be understood the question rightly, was that it would prevent the beard from going on with their intended sales of land without the consent of the Lords of the Treasury. Mr. Waln said, for every lot sold they must apply to .the Treasury for permission. Mr. Rae : Then the property now in our own absolute control would then be under the control of the Lords of the Treasury ? We could not sell without their consent ? Mr. Kcightley : Nor lease for thirty years. Mr. Rae : That is a very serious objection. Mr. Gough : I hope we are not going to sell it all; to-day. Mr. Rae: No, sir ; you cannot sell to-day. The Chairman : I believe it will most seriously impede the sales of property. The report was then adopted. Dr. Baylis moved, "That the report be printed, for the information of the ratepayers, and circulated, and that its further consideration be deferred till the next meeting of the board." Mr. Barnett seconded the motion,. which was agreed to The board then adjourned. Fria .NORTHERN TIMES..WtDiUSDAI, MAY 25, 1859 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BATH RACES.—YESTEttbAY.

LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening. The Liverpool Cotton Market continues quiet, and prices without change. The sales to-day amount to 4;000 bales, and include 1,000 taken for specu lation and export. The Liverpool Share Market has been quiet,-and only a small amount of bnsliiess done, but prices have rather shown a tendency to improve. The sales cornprised :.-- . -Eastern Counties, 101 ; Lanca shire and Yorkshire, 841, 847 4 ; London and North Western, 861 •, Midland, 93a, 931 ; South Eastern, 184 -; Grand Trunk of Canada, 71; Ditto Seven per Cent. Debentures, 1867, 64. After official hours, sales were made in Eastern Counties at 101, Lancashire and Yorkshires at 85, and London and North Western at 861. The final closing quotations were :--Blackburn, 111, 11-'4; 'Chester and Birkenhead, 591, 60 ; Caledonian, 74, 741 • Eastern Counties, 10 7-16, 10 9-16 ; E ast Lan cashire, 83, 85 ; Great Northern, 94, 96 ; Ditto A., 79, 81 ; Great Western, 51, 511 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire Stock, 841, 841; London and North- Western Stock, 861, 861 ; Ditto one-eighth shares, 2, 11 d ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 33, 331; Midland Stock, 93-1, 931 ; North British, 511, 521 • North Stafford s hi re , 4 7 7 „ 442 d; North Eastern --Berwick, 831, 841 ; York and North Midland, 671, 681:; Leeds Capital Stock, 42, 43; South Eastern and Dover, 184, 18 7-16 ; Dutch Rhenish, 71, 74- d ; Great Western of.

The stagnation which has for some time prevailed, in the Manchester Goods Market continues, and to day there was an almost total suspension of business, except for goods and yarns for India, on which a few transactions took place. Continental buyers are completely out of the market, and prices for yarns for Germany continue to decline. The London Stock Market opened with consider able buoyancy, and Consols were firm all the morn ing at an advance of about a quarter per cent. on the closing quotations of yesterday. At twelve o'clock they were quoted for Money at 91,;- to 92, and for the Account at 911 to 911. Afterwards they became a little weaker, and finally closed-for Money at 914, and for the Account at 911 to 911. The closing prices for other Securities were : -Three per Cents., 901, 90 1; Bank Stock, 219, 222 ; Exchequer Bills, Large and Small, 19, 23 pm. A better feeling has pervaded the London Share Market, and prices, influenced by the tone of the Stock Market, had an improving tendency in the earlier part of the day, but the amount of business actually transacted was small, and at the close quo tations were hardly so good as at an earlier period of the day. The following were the final clo s i ng ' prices : -Ambergate 54, ; Caledonians, 731, 741 ; Preference, 99, 101 ; Eastern Counties, 52, 53 ; East Lancashire, 83, 85 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 68, 70 ; Great.

The Corn Markets generally continue to show a downward movement. In Liverpool this morning there was a fair attendance of buyers, but, notwith standing, Wheat declined in price to the extent of 6d per cental, and Flour was a very dull sale at a similar decline. At Hull wheat declined 3s, and at Newcastle is per quarter, with small businesses in each place. The accounts from Paris to-night report a rise in the French Funds of about a quarter per cent., promoted chiefly by the report that. England and France have resumed diplomatic relations with , Naples. The Discount Market is still superabundantly sup plied with money, and first-class bills up to two months date are readily taken at 31 per cent., or less. At the Bank the applications yesterday were very few, and confined to regular customers. In consequence of the difficulty of employing money, the London and Westminster Bank have announced that their rates of allowance for deposits will heenceforth be as follows, viz.:-2,- per cent. for sums of £5OO and upwards, and 2 per cent. for sums below £5OO. The reduction in. the former instance is 1 per cent., and in the latter -} per cent. The terms of the other . Joint-stock Banks remain as last* reported, viz. :-1 per cent below the Bank of England minimum rate of discount. The annual meeting of the National Bank took place to-day ; Mr. F. Newsham in the chair. The directors congratulated the shareholders on the social condition of Ireland, and the general prosperity of the bank during the past year. The net profits of the year were £89,327 16s 6d, less rebate on bills not due amounting to £16,124 ; leaving 'a surplus of £73,203 16s 6d, to which the profit on sales of shares, .£5,972, were added, making, with the former Rest £183,967 19s 2d. From this two dividends (at the rate of 6 per cent per annum, and 25s bonus per share), amounting to £60,000, were paid, which reduced the present Rest to £125,967 19s 2d, as against £104,792 2s Bd, the balance at the end of December, 1857. The report was adopted, and the meeting passed off most satisfactorily. There was a further arrival •of 70,000/ in gold from Russia yesterday, but it was immediately taken for exportation. The success of the Allies at Montebello has been attended with a favourable effect on the English Funds. Notwith standing the continued and remarkable absence of speculative animation, the Funds closed to-day with a firm appearance at an advance of I, per cent. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange business was again almost at a standstill, but general firmness prevails. The Discount Market is still superabundantly supplied with money, and first-class bills up to two months date arc readily taken at 31 per cent., or less. In conse quence of the difficulty of employing money, the London and Westminster Bank has this day announced that their rates of allowance for deposits will henceforth be 21 per cent. for sums of £5OO and upwards, and 2 per cent for sums below £5OO. The reduction in the former instance is 1 per cent., and in the latter t per cent. There were no withdrawals of gold from the Bank to-day. The Africa bas brought £329,000 in specie from New York. About £68,000 in gold, half imperials, have arrived to-day from St. Petersburgh, and is expected to be sent to the Continent. At St. Petersburgh the exchange on London was quoted 331 d. There are buyers of bills at 32d, with no sellers at that price. --Daily. Yews City Article, Monday Evening. Neither the intelligence of the fight at Montebello, nor - the death of the -King of. Naples, produced any effect on t the English funds to-day ; but, sometime after the com mencement of business, a rise took place, in consequence of several purchases on behalf of the public, and the consequent increase in the supply of money on 'the market, 'discounts have again been effected to-day at lower rates, three months paper being negociated at 31 per cent., and six BANKRUPTS. months at 5 per cent.

At our corn exchange this morning, there was about an average attendance of the trade, and also a number of Irish buyers, who more particularly directed their attention to cargoes of wheat from the Continent, but in consequence of the scanty offers from France and other quarters, and these being at comparatively high prices, very little business was done in this branch of the trade—on the spot holders partially conceded a decline of 6d per cental since this day week, and at a further reduction there was a disposition evinced to buy some quantity—however, the extent of business that resulted was of an extremely limited character. Flour is exceedingly difficult of sale, and fully 6d per cental lower. There is no change to notice in barley, beans, or pease, which only met occasional buyers. Oats and oat meal sell slowly at former quotations. Indian corn upon a moderate demand is held firmly at last week's prices. ROBERT MAKIN & SONS. LIVERPOOL SCOTCH (Pica IRON) MARKET.—MAY 24.
