WARD MEETING. EVERTON AND KIRKDALE WARD, AGGREGATE MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF MR: STITT. Last evening a meeting of the friends and supporters of this gentleman was held in the Derby Arms, Kirkdale, for the purpose of promoting his return as a representa tive for these wards in the Town Council of Liverpool. The large room was densely crowded long before the hour appointed for the meeting, by some of the most influential municipal electors of the ward, amongst whom we noticed Dr. Chalmer, Dr. Arnold, Messrs. Ledger, Kitchen, A. King, W. Unwin, Reason, R. Kirkpatrick, W. Duckworth, Yates, T. Bird, Higginson. Maddox, Hall, Ackerly, Jordan, W. Haydock, R. Jones, Chapman, Stevenson, Swift, J. Roberts, O rre ll, R ou k e , Walker, Kendal, obinson, Crook, &c. On the chairman of the committee, Mr. C. Hall, and the candidate, Mr. Stitt, with the most active members of the committee entering the room, they were received with the greatest enthusiasm. Silence having been in some degree restored, Mr. Holt rose and said : We are now approaching the hour when we shall be called upon to record our votes, and to decide who is to be our representative—(cheers)—and I trust that the very friendly and enthusiastic feeling which has been exhi hied will continue, and will be also exhibited on the day of election, when we shall have to decide the issue of this contest. (Cheers) I have been told by a person who are more familiar with political contests than I am, that he had never seen electors behave better, or more respectable, than the electors of this ward had done on the present occasion. (Cheers.) I trust that this is an augury that we are about to enter into a better state of things, and I do hope that the electors will henceforth apply their minds in considering the questions which more peculiarly effect themselves, and that they will intelligently choose the men to represent them who will best advocate their interests. It appears to me that it should be one of the great objects of men who take a part in these meetings that he should endeavour if possible to rise the standard of intelligence, to infuse their minds into the minds of those who are about to represent them, and to strive to rise the intelligence and morality of the electors, and that the men such electors send into the council should be a reflex of themselves. (Cheers.) On a former occasion I referred to the value of our municipal institutions, they are the most ancient of all our institutions, they have been handed down to us from people who praised freedom and liberty, and they have ever been praised by liberal minds, and will ever be held sacred by such people. It is important that we should regard the rights of these municipalities, and we should endeavour to preserve them in all their purity and integrity. I say if we have a - wish to preserve this safeguard to our liberties, we have a right to preserve intact these institutions. and I do say that he is the true Conservative who will endeavour to preserve and uphold these insti tutions. (Cheers.) It is not my intention to trespass on your time, when the field more properly belongs to your candidate. It his opinions that you have to hear, and not mine. I have had the honour of being the chairman of the committee for conducting his elections, and I therefore concern myself more with the topics which relate to those duties which I have taken in my hands, than to make speeches. It is my duty, as it appears to me, to lead you forward in that path of rectitude and right, by which alone I desire to see this gentleman returned, and I trust on the day when you are called upon to record your votes in favour of the gentleman who now stands forward to seek your suffrages: (Cheers.) There has been a topic referred to during the contest in which we are now engaged, to which I must direct your special attention, because it is one of the utmost importance—l allude to the press— (ebeers)—and I am happy to say that the press, as far as we are concerned, have accorded to us every facility for promulgating our opinions, and bringing our views before the public. But our opponents have made a great complaint, and that is, that as far as the press is concerned that they are not fairly reresented—(laughter) —on their side They say that they have not got news papers to support them. (Laughter.) For our part we have no reason to complain. (Cheers) We are repre sented by the intelligent press of the town. (Great cheering.) The Liverpool press supports our cause. But, gentlemen, if they are not satisfied with the way in which they are supported by their press, have we any reason to complain. We, as the representatives of enlight enment and progress, will not be sorry to see them increase their representatives if they can. Let them proniulgate their ideas through the press, and then we should have an opportunity of knowing what those ideas are. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, we have a cheap press. (Cheers.) Let them come within the sphere of competition. (Laughter.) Gentlemen, I trust, with cheap newspapers, and thanks for them, that every elector will avail himself of that source of infor mation of reading for themselves, not trust to what they hear, and make themselves familiar with the topics which more concern them. Read, I say, not only the news of ; the day, but read the debates and the discussions which take place in the Town Council. (Immense cheeringt) Let them read what is said by their representatives, but do not do that alone, but let them read also the divisions —look to see how your representatives vote—(cheers) — and when the time comes for their re-election, let them consider those facts—let them see how they voted, and when those men come again forward for their re-election, decide by the votes they have given—(cheers)—and, if they deserve it, record your votes in their favour. Do not, I say, be satisfied with reading speeches, but look to the divisions, and if they have voted in that way which will be beneficial to your interes's, and to the interests of the town, support them ; but if they have not, then, I say, don't consider the party to which they belong, but reject them. (Cheers.) All I ask of you is to do your duty —use your own judgment—when they come back to ask for your votes— if they have fulfilled their promises support them. Your candidate has not given you any pledges, nor will he, but he has promised to fulfil the duties to the best of his ability. (Cheers.) I will not further occupy your time, as the chairman of the committee I have nothing further to say. We have stated our opinions fairly and openly. The field is open for our opponents to do the same, and I trust from what you have heard, and what you will hear, that you will do your duty, and that on the Ist of November you will give your votes to the best man. I shall now conclude by introducing to your 'notice, our respected candidate Mr. Stitt, in whom I do not think you can find a better representative. (Great cheering.) Mr. Stitt then rose and was greeted with prolonged cheering. When silence was restored, he proceeded to thank the great assembly for the cordial reception he had received, not only on that, but on all occasions when he had the honour of presenting himself before the electors of the ward, and from the approbation which he had received at the hands of the electors, he argued it was an appr oval of the sentiments he had already deli. vered. ( Loud cheers.) He thought it the duty of a candidate to let his constituents know his sentiments, and, although he had already given expression to his sentiments, he would again, even at the risk of repeating some of his opinions, trouble them with a few observa tions, (Hear, hear.) There should be a confidence between the representative and the represented, and this was the only basis of their representation. (Loud cheers.) He bad said so much at former meetings, that he bad little to add ; but, at all events, the meeting of that evening proved one thing, that the - infant was still living, or, as his friend, an Irishman, would say, " He was to the fore"—(much laughter)—and more than that, he had been engaged taking notes, and he had noticed, with much amusement, he would confess, the attempts made by his opponents to be jolly—like Mark Tapir under 'the circumstances. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) and their proceedings during the contest most forcibly reminded him of the conduct of a worthy divine, who was particularly distinguished for two things, namely, the singular emphasis and industry with which he quoted his text, and the singular ingenuity he had in avoiding it. (Cheers and laughter.) He went round and round it, from left to right, and from right to left, above and below it, and at last when the hearers thought he must go slap into it—what did he do ? Why he took a flying leap, and jumped right over it. (Loud sheers and laughter.) And so it was with his opponents —they announced their text, but they jumped over it Itenevred cheers.) He went on to say, that his op ponent, by one of that gentleman's supporters, was likened into Moses, and by another, into a fine old bottle of port wine. (Roars of Laughter ) but he did not find much fault with that, so long as it stuck to the text—(hear, hear, and laughter)—but there was only one step, as they y all knew, from the sublime to the ridiculous —but did they stick to the text ? (Hear, hear. ) No, they acted like the worthy divine, and jumped over it. (Cheers). One cried t out, Whigs and Tories !" Very good. Another shoue o d t' t Church and State !" and then they had a fine lect u re th v n er hel 3li g Fes and di ffi culties showed the that beset youth. A our advantage of being tongue-tied,yan th-anauttlywas a strong recommendation to be a counc ilman.al (Great laughter and cheers). He did not at unde r rate . these thought t t still such these advantages in a member of thecohuentehdo,o they left the original text untouched, but advantages were fast fading away before the public, and were falling into oblivion (Hear, hear.) They would, however, permit him to say that they had to decide (o n Saturday) between th e qua lifi ca ti ons of the two candi dates—(hear, heara )--because that was the real question of the business before them, and that was the selection of the best qualified man to represent them in the council — their interest and their wishes in that assembly. (Hear, hear.) He did imagine that some ability to speak was of some small importance in the person who was to become the mouthpiece and representative of a great community, but it was thought otherwise by his oppo nents, and that a silent member was the best man. (Oh! Cheers and laughter.) They were told that the work was was to be done in committees, and that speeching was a decided b ore; but even in committees, he Pe_was of oPluimithat to Do able to talk was or ooze THE little advantage. (Cheers.) He thought that a man I who was able to get up in committee and enforce the claims of his constituents was some sort of qualification. (Cheers.) The claims: put forward by his opponents, he considered as the weakness of a cause that could not be longer sustained. (Hear, hear.) He did not attach much importance to the form of a speech, but the subject of a speech was one of impor tance, and could not be forgotten. It was of importance that a man should think, and, at the same time, think rightly and independently, and that a man should possess the nerve to act honestly, conscientiously, and uprightly. (Loud cheers.) The person whom they sent to represent them would have plenty to think about, and should form for himself principles of independent action in regard to all the great finanical, commercial, and social questions affecting the interests of this great com munity. (Cheers.) He placed the financial question first, as affecting the interests of this great community. In dealing with the financial question, it required a large amount of theoretical and practical experience. The laws of taxation and expenditure were reciprocal—a large taxation involved a lavish expenditure, and a lavish expenditure again involved an increased taxation, which, by a wise economy, ought to be curtailed instead of being augmented. (Hear, hear.) The principle to be observed in taxation ought to be an equitable one, which should tax all classes alike, according to the means possessed by them—(hear, hear)—and this would be even-handed justice to all. He then alluded to the cottage property in the ward, and said he was very glad to see that sort of property increasing in the district, as it would add to the comfort of the working and industrious class, but they should be governed by an equitable adjustment of taxa tion; and this would be one of the grand objects of his exertions, to do equal justice to all parties. (Loud cheers.) In reference to commerce, he said this was a commercial age, and this country was a commercial country. (Hear, hear.) This town rose with unparalleled rapidity, and held at present a position beyond all the ports of the world, and if it went on increasing, as he trusted it would, the pros pect was boundless. (Cheers ) It was the duty of their representative to watch over it, and not let it become like a Chester or a Bristol. (Hear, hear.) He proceeded for some time in detail, and alluded to parks, public libraries, education, &c., and then read the following expenditure of the cost to the corporation for the maintenance of the following parish churches. St. Thomas's St. George's less seat rents St. Michael's less seat rents ... 'B5 13 9 and graves 2O 0 0 St. Luke's less seat'yents St. Martin's less seat rents 779 14 2 218 17 3 789 7 4 105 13 9 871 6 8 149 17 10 857 1 4 27 0 0 683 13 7 721 8 10 830 1 4 fr , Cost to the corporation for the year .W 3,045 15 11 He said, if half the sum had been laid out in the education of the poor, it would save the public more than half of the forty thousand pounds expended in public prosecutions. (Bear, hear.) After some further remarks, Mr._ Stitt sat down amid prolonged cheering. . .. Mr. William Unwin was next - introducedto the meeting, and was received with great applause. He said he did not expect, nor did he desire, to have taken any part in the present election, He had said that he would not do so ; but he had resisted the entreaties of his friends, and had come from the tea-table to do that which he conceived to be his duty. (Cheers). This step he had been induced to take from the course the other side had adopted in carry ing out this election. He had not heard any of the speeches which had been delivered, but he had read some of them ; and he had heard that one of the speakers liked silence so well that he had said that he would not eat with a man who would speak. (Laughter). They had heard the speeches of the gentlemen who there came forward to represent them ; they were, as far as he had read, most intelligent and intellectual speeches. Some of them might, also, have heard the speeches of the other candidate. He had not ; and from what he had read of them, he did not think he had lost much. (Cheers). He admired those speeches ; and instead of calling him their candidate, he did hope that they would call them their re presentatives. There were some people like a par rot, who did all their work by thinking, and, from their inability to speak, no person could find out what they thought. (Laughter.) For his part, he pre ferred a person who could speak, and show the index of his mind—(cheers)—in preference to those who could not speak—but there were some who could not speak—who could not write—and who could not read—(laughter)— but surely they would not select such a person, when they could have a person who could explain his views, and so eloquently dilate on the subjects that come before them, as the gentleman had done on that occasion. (Cheers.) He then related to the meeting a circumstance which had taken place, on the previous evening, at a meeting at Manchester, when a rev. gentleman (he would not men tion his name) had, in the first instance, objected to such a beautiful and splendid building being named the " Free Trade Hall," and that was because the rev. gentleman was opposed to free trade ; but when he found that it was impossible to stop the tide of current opinion, he changed hiq npininn. .na ho doo;snotod it as one of the finest buildings he had ever seen, and was a nt omitting to De dedicated as a monument of the late war. Such it was in the present contest, when their opponents could not find arguments to support their former assertions, they turned round and supported that which was popular. After expressing his opinion that it would be by far the wisest course to select a man who could explain his ideas, and enforce them with pure English language, so as to be forcible, he moved the adoption of the following resolution : —" That John Johnson Stitt, Esq., is a fit and proper person to represent this ward, ad that this meeting pledges itself to use all lawful means to return him to the Council Chamber." Mr. Ledger seconded the resolution. Mr. George Holt had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. He said that he ht.cl been led to do so, by the speeches which he had heard during the last ten days, and expressed it as his opinion that, if they selected a man for his intelligence and his fitness to fill the situation of their representative, they would choose Mr. Stitt. Mr. Walker then came forward to support the resolu tion, and, in doing so, he begged to be allowed to congratu late the constituents of the ward, and the splendid assembly he saw before him, at having such a candidate. From the interest that had been felt in the meeting, it was a proof that it was not a Shabolath, for, if it had, the number would have diminished. In the most eloquent and enthusiastic terms, he dwelt on the present movement, and expressed his regret that their opponents should have resorted to the means that they had done, by low scurrility. He next dwelt on the necessity of educating the poor, and of having public parks and libraries for the people, and expressed a hope that the time was not far distant when they would have a library in every ward, and a public park at each end of the town. [Our space will not permit of our giving this gentleman's speech at length.] . Dr. Chalmers next came forward, and was received with great applause. He explained that he had been most unexpectedly called upon to speak to the resolution ; but in the most forcible terms supported the election of Mr. Stitt, and as he had already been a candidate from time to time, expressed a hope that the electors would not be deluded by promises, but be early at the poll, and record their votes, and then go to work and get their friends to do the same. He related an anecdote of one of the contests at which he had been engaged, when eighteeen persons had actually signed his requisition, but on the morning of the election, in consequence of a well supplied table of eatables, they had, before ten o'clock in the morning, gone and voted against him. The resolutions were then put and carried by acclama tion. Mr. Robinson then came forward to redeem a pledge given on the previous evening, and said he found that Mr. Longton had contributed £6 to the charities of Liverpool. Mr. Millward, in proposing a vote of thanks to the chair• man, observed that, although Mr. Longton had stated that he called three ships by Liverpool names, not one of these vessels were built in Liverpool. The meeting then separated, cheering loudly for Mr. Stitt. NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL THURSDAY INAUGURATION OF THE JUNCTION OF THE DUTCH, RHENISH, AND COLOGNE AND MIN DEN RAILWAYS. THE BANQUET AT AMSTERDAM. This event has been celebrated in Holland, in a style commensurate with its importance to both countries. The series of festivities commenced on Friday, the 17th inst., when the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs, and several other distinguished individuals—including the directors of the Cologne and Minden, and German Union Companies— were invited to Amsterdam to partake of a magnificent enter tainment provided by the Government. The town itself presented a very gay aspect. The English party, so deeply interested in the undertaking, were composed of Messrs. Hesleden, J. E. Moss, W. Al!card, I. A. Tinne, G. E. Taunton, R. Waterhouse, R. J. King, J. M. Still, J. S. Moss, F. F. Goodwin, S. J. Arnold, James Robinson, Mr. Mozley, the Rev. J. Jamieson, Mr. Dapledge, Mr. Beloe, &c., 44c. The first oration was delivered by the Prussian Minister, who said, that the junction of the two railways could not but tend to the increased prosperity of both countries, and proposed " The Health of the King of Holland :" in reply, the Netherlands Foreign Minister proposed " The Health of the King of Prussia." - The Minister of the Home Depaitrnent, in an eloquent speech, proposed the happy alliance of Prussia, Holland, and England, and stated that it was mainly owing to the perseverance of English talent and capital that they were this day met to celebrate the junction of the two countries by railway communication. Mr. Faber van Riemsdyk spoke in energetic terms on the perseverance of the shareholders, who had this day completed all that they had undertaken to perform, and having paid a compliment to the memory of the late Mr. Donker Curtius, President of the Direction, proposed success to both Companies. KIRKDALE SESSIONS The business of these sessions was resumed yesterday morn ing, at the Sessions House, Kirkdale. Precisely at ten o'clock, Lord Stanley, M.P., the chairman, took his seat on the bench, accompanied by the following magistrates—namely, Messrs. Pollock, Harden, Preston, Campbell, Answorth , and the Rev. Mr. Powell. The usual formalities appertaining to such an occasion having been disposed of, the following were then sworn as THE GRAND JURY Henry Jones, Great Crosby ; Charles Callis, do ; James J. Davis, do ; Alfred Freth, do ,• Robert Gill, junior, do ; James Gerrard, do; William Humfries, do ; James Heynes, do ; John Browne, do ; J. Shaw Clayton, of Bootle , Wm. Parling, do ; Benson, Ainsworth, Pritchard, do ; H. Lyon, of Litherland, John N. Morris, do ; Charles Turner, do ; Thomas Bryce, of Penington ; Richard Gaiest, do; Thomas Travers Keyes, do; Joseph Knott, do; Robert Neild, do; James Diggle, and Henry Isherwood, of West Leigh. The usual oath having been administered, the chairman proceeded to deliver his charge. His Lordship, in addressing the Grand Jury, said— Gen tlemen, the calendar, as far as I can see, is rather tighter than usual, and there do not seem to be any case in which it will be necessary for me to call your especial attention. The number of prisoners to be tried at these Sessions is only 38, and it may be interesting for you to know that the number of offenders convicted under the Criminal Jurisdiction Act, during the last three months, has been 69, which but for the passing of that Act, would have been brought here for you to deal with. It may, also, be a matter of. interest for you to know from what class the persons came from. Out of the 33, there is only one who is able to read and write well, and a more than one-half of the number are unabl e to read and write at all. The bills will be sent before you immediately, and should any of the cases present any difficulty, the court will be most happy to render you any assistance in their power. The grand jury then retired. There were several appeals entered, but, when they were called over, no counsel being instructed, they were struck out, and the court proceeded with the trial of prisoners. None of the cases in the calender possessed auy feature of public interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL. BEFORE MR. T. BOLTON. A DISHONEST AGENT.—A well-dressed young man, named Edward Woodward, was charged with having stolen eight pair of trousers and three coats, the property of Mr. Gurley, his employer, an outfitter, carrying on business in St.James' street. The facts of the case were these :—The prisoner was employed at a weekly salary, in order to go about the docks and solicit orders from captains and officers of ships. He brought orders to the prosecutor for the goods men tioned, stating that he had received them from captains. On the 11th October the goods were given to him to deliver, as he stated, but, instead of doing so, he pledged the things for £3 is, and absconded. On Tuesday he returned and gave himself up to the police: The prisoner was identified by the pawnbrokers, as the person who pledged the articles. Mr. Bluck, for the prisoner, said he was a young man of respectable character, but he, unfortunately, had fallen into bad company, and had been tempted to do wrong. He trusted the case would be dealt with in a summary manner. The prosecutor, in reply to Mr. Black, said the prisoner was with him for three months, and he had nothing to say against his character. The prisoner was fined £3 Is, the amount for which the goods were pledged, and in addition a fine of £5, for illegally pledging, or, in default of pay ment, three months' imprisonment. A FEMALE PICKPOCKET.—A nice looking, well dressed young female, named Sarahßurns, was charged with picking the pocket of Mrs. Swit, a publican, residing at Rainhill. The parties met in the shop of Mr. Simpson, grocer, 30, Whitechapel, and whilst the prosecutrix was engaged making some purchases, the prisoner pushed close beside her, and Mr. Simps - n saw her put her hand into Mrs. Swift's pocket, and when she withdrew it she was caught hold of. She then dropped two half crowns, but retained one, a shilling, and sixpence, all of which she had abstracted from complainant's pocket. Mr. Black defended the pri soner, but did not elicit anything in the cross-examination. He begged that the prisoner might be dealt with in a sum mary manner, as she was not known to the police pre viously. The prisoner was sent to jail for three months. THE LIQUOR.—John O'Brien. and Johanna, his wife, the keeper of a bad house in Prince Edwin street, and Mary Anne Maley, one of the inmates, were charged with being concerned in the robbery of £47 from a person named John Atkinson, a cattle dealer, residing in Juvenal street. Mr. Black defended. Detective officers Thompson and Scaife stated that, on Saturday night, the prosecutor met the prisoners in a public house in Great Homer street, and, after some drink, he lost his money. The prisoners, on Monday, purchased a large quantity of new clothes, and other things, and also released over £8 worth of property which they had pledged. Thompson handed in a certificate from a medical person, which described Atkinson as unfit to attend, as he was labouring under the influence of liquor, and therefore they (the police) wanted a remand for seven days, to make enquiry about the money, as they knew some of the notes. M r . * Black pro tested against such a course ; it would be unfair to the prisoners to remand them until Atkinson recovered from the effects of his own vice. Mr. Bolton said the fact of the clothes being purchased and redeemed to the amount mentioned, was enough to warrant him in granting a remand. Mr. Black would respectfully urge it was not. It would be enabling the police to " make a case" against the prisoner, if they were remanded for seven days ; it would be unfair to do that. He had no objection to a remand of a day. They were remanded to this day accordingly. BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD ALLEGED CRIMINAL ASSAULT ON A GlRL.—Alexander Hart, described as the mate of the ship Ferozepore, was charged with having committed an offence of the above description on Jannet Douglas, a servant girl in the house of the prisoner's mother-in-law, in Northumberland street. On investigating the case, the charge resolved itself into one of common assault, and the prisoner was fined £5 on the latter charge. A BIG SMOKE PREYENTED.—John Miles, a cab driver, was charged by Scaife and Thompson, detectives, for being concerned in an attempt to smuggle 160 lbs. of foreign manufactured tobacco. Mr. Tyndall appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bluck for the prisoner. The officers were out " on their rounds" on Tuesday night, when they saw the prisoner drive a cab along Yanxball-road into Maguire-street. They did not (as the saying is) " smell a rat," but they caught up the fragrant odour of some fine Cavendish tobacco. They followed the cab into Maguire street, where it stopped at a public-house door. The prisoner went into the house for a short time, but returned , and drove off. They followed and stopped him, and, to the interrogatory of "what have you in the cab ?" he replied " nothing." They, however, proceeded to search the vehicle, and in two bags they got the " weed." In reply to Mr. Block, the officers said they did see a man jump out of the cab and run away. Mr. Tyndall asked for a remand, until he could get the advice of the Board in London. Granted. OUT OF THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE l—Williagl Stroud was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and, having paid the penalty attached to such indulgence, he xvuo utoppinr., out of the dock. no clouht with v.ry ClAtiClfQr.fAry feelings. This state of quietude was not suffered to remain long over the senses of Mr. William Stroud, for a relieving officer, who happened to be in the court on other business, tapped him on the shoulder, and said he was the identical man he wanted. " For what ?" enquired the astonished Mr. Stroud. " For deserting your wife and family, and leaving them chargeable on the parish ; I have sought you for many a day, and now I have found you." The officer then proved the charge in the clearest manner, and the pri sober was sent to gaol for two months. BEFORE MR. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE, STEALING SUGAR.—A man, who gave his name as William Johnson, was charged with having stolen several pounds of sugar from warehouse No. 179, on the New Quay. In the course of the preceding afternoon, a warehouseman, employed in the establishment, caught the prisoner with the sugar concealed about his person. In answer to the charge, the man said he was in drink at the time, and did not know what be was after. This having been proved to be the case, ha was ordered to pay 5s for being drunk, and cautioned as to his future conduct. ALLEGED CHARGE OF PASiING Bt SE ColN.—Four persons, named Mary Lee, Elizabeth Williams, Joseph Dixon, and William Perry, were brought np under the following circumstances :—A police constable stated that the four persons were given into his charge by one of the county constables on a charge of passing some base coin, and all he knew about the matter was, that he saw the female (Williams) drop a base half_crown, and he picked it up. By Mr. Block (who appeared for Lee): He saw Lee talking to the woman Williams, on a piece of waste ground, when he took her into custody. She was not then passing bad money. A Mrs. Chadwick, keeper of a beerhouse in South street, stated that a man, like Perry, called at her house and asked for a glass of ale, and gave her in payment a half-crown. She gave him his change, and then he left. She could not swear that the prisoner was the man. Several other witnesses were called, but none of them could identify the prisoners. The rural constable was called, but all he could say was, that somebody had told him that the prisoners had passed some bad money, and, as he saw they were going away, he gave them into custody. Mr. Gladstone, smiling : Mr. Block, surely you will return your fee ; your place is quite a sinecure ? (Laughter) Is there any more evidence—if it can be called evidence ? Mr. Clough : No. Mr. Block : It is most disgraceful to have parties brought here on such a charge, and I am sure you will say they have a right to be discharged—at least my client, who is a most respectable woman. All the prisoners were then discharged, with the exception of Williams, who was remanded to see if any further evidence could be obtained against her. STEALING FLANNEL—A person, who gave her name as Winefred Quin, was charged with stealing a roll of blue flannel from the shop of Mr. Hassel, in Byrom-street. The prisoner was caught in the act, and immediately handed over to the police. She was committed for one month. STEALING CARPET.—John Keeling was charged with stealing a roll of carpet from the shop of Mr. Corkhill, of Mill-street. The carpet was found in the possession of the prisoner soon after the robbery. He attempted to conceal it, and to direct the policeman's attention to something else, but the policeman was too cute, and took him into custody. He was committed to take his trial at the sessions. BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD. MORE. STABBING —A girl, named Sarah Leman, was charged with stabbing another girl, named Isabella Green, on the Vauxhall-road, on the preceding night. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the girl had been instigated to commit the act by her mother, a very bad woman, and, consequently, she was remanded for the purpose of having her sent to a reformatory, th a t s h e might be removed from such pernicious associates. THE LATE DOG-FIGHT. —A few days since, we record e d the fact of a dog-fight having taken place in Preston-street, when one of the animals was killed. This day, several of the parties who were present were summoned for aiding and encouraging such an amusement. The first case gone into was that against Thomas Harrison, o ne o f the parties present. The case was dismissed, as was also those against the other parties for being present, Tr-morrow the landlord of the house will be sum moned for permitting such an affair to come off in his premises.

Saturday morning broke forth with a charming autumnal freshness, aided by sunshine, and as the guests assembled at the Amsterdam station at 8 a.m., all parties seemed in high spirits to commence their journey to Cologne. The scene was not only enlivened by bands of excellent music and the floating of innumerable flags, but also by the presence of many gaily dressed and elegant ladies. A mounted guard of honour was in attendance. When the train arrived at Utrecht a slight halt took place at the station, which was thronged with eager spectators, and the military bands were again in attendance, as indeed they were at every large station. The bridge at Utrecht recently damaged by an unfortunate accident, and which during three weeks had serionsly impeded the traffic, had been repaired with won derful energy and despatch, and the party passed safely over, and in due course arrived at Arnheim, where an elegant dejeuner had been prepared. The Prussian minister here, in a very flattering speech, complimented Mr. Hesleden and the direction on their admirable arrangements to which Mr. Hesleden replied in a short but feeling address, which drew forth from the Ministers of State an expression of the warmest sympathy. From thence the train proceeded to Emmerich, where a vast crowd was present, and where an address was presented by the town authorities to the Prussian Minister. Here the real opening commenced, the line from truce to Oberhausen not having been hitherto traversed. Throughout the distance, nothing could exceed the enthusiasm of the population. Addresses were again presented at several points of the line, and the party arrived, much pleased with every thing and every body, at Deutz about four p.m. BANQUET AT ROTTERDAM. Rotterdam was the scene of the third day's festivities, and her wealthy merchants and esteemed burgomaster seemed determined not to be outdone in the race of splendid hospi tality by the previous displays. The entertainments were given in the new and very extensive hall of the Yacht Club, which was most tastefully decorated—the flags of Holland, Prussia, and England being displayed all round the enclo sure. When the numerous guests—comprising a host of Prussian dignitaries and of the notabilities of Amsterdam, including all the government ministers and the burgomaster of that city—had arrived, the company sat down, to the number of upwards of three hundred, to a most sumptuous repast. The Burgomaster of Rotterdan, Mr. Hoffmann, was in the chair, having near him the Prussian minister and officials, and the Dutch ministers of the home, foreign, and finance departments, and opposite to him, at short intervals, were planed Mr. Hesleden, president of the board of directors, Mr. Holland, the chairman of the Eng - lish board, and several of the English commissioners . After the preliminary toasts of the King of Prussia and the King of Holland, given respectively by the Burgomaster of Rotterdam and the Prussian Minister, had been duly re ceived and applauded, the Minister of Finance rose and addressed the meeting in a most complimentary speech, en larging on the merits of the English shareholders. His Excellency, who spoke in English, in order that our coun trymen present might more fully appreciate his remarks, concluded an eloquent speech by giving her Majesty the Queen of England, observing, at the same time, his gratifica tion at seeing so many of the principal English shareholders present on this occasion, and among them Mr. Holland, the head of the English Commissioners, and the President of the Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool. The cheers which fnllnweri this toast were of rho nincif.lnsfeningMud, and showed that Rotterdam feeling responded most warmly in sympathy with its English allies. When a lull in the en thusiastic outburst had been obtained, Mr. Holland rose and said, " M. le Ministre and gentle men, on behalf of myself and colleagues here present, I beg to tender our most grateful acknowledgments for the very complimentary manner in which you have introduced the name of her most gracious Majesty the Queen of England, as connected with the accomplishment of this great under taking, which we are now met to celebrate. It is unneces sary for me to say to your Excellency and this vast assembly that I feel assured they are right in assuming that whatever tends to promote commercial intercourse between her country and the rest of Europe, and thus conduce to the progress of civilisation and a communion of feeling through out the world, cannot fail to be an object of interest to our gracious sovereign. But, on the present occasion, I doubt not that when the knowledge of the tribute which has so gracefully been paid to her by your Excellency, and so warmly responded to by this assembly, reaches her, and that she is made aware of the prominent part which Englishmen have borne in this great undertaking, she will feel a special interest, not only from the fact of her subjects (my coun trymen) being thus honourably associated with it, but from the additional circumstance that in thus binding together the three great countries of Germany, Holland, and Eng land, by another chain, which your Excellency has so happily termed, not an iron, but a golden one, they are further cementing the relations of England with countries, one of which has already claims upon her feelings, arising from domestic ties of an endearing kind, and th e other bye historical sympathies and associations. Your Excellency has been pleased to eulogise the conduct of the shareholders of the Dutch Rhenish Company. On behalf of those share holders, of whom I feel some pardonable pride in saying that nine-tenths are my fellow-countrymen, I have, on the part of my colleagues now present and myself, to offer you our warm acknowledgments. Permit me, at the same time, to remind your Excellency and this great meeting of the many difficulties with which those shareholders have had to cantend, and the manner in which they have overcome them. First, they were met by the obstacles which natu r e carryinghas interposed in a railway across your country ; but that difficulty was solved from the moment that a gen tleman whose name is a guarantee for whatever he under takes—l allude to Mr. Brassey—contracted to do it. Then came the financial difficulties, which had long been felt by the company, and which required the most energetic efforts on the part of the shareholders ; and here I rejoice in having the opportunity of thus publicly testifying to your Excel lency, on the part of the shareholders, our appreciation of the friendly and fostering spirit shown by the government of the Netherlands to aid in overcoming these financial obstacles, and the very liberal feeling they have always displayed towards the company. Let it be borne in mind, too, that during these difficulties public opinion in Holland was sceptical as to the beneficial results for the shareholders. Old associations and habits looked on the waters of the Rhine as the natural highway to Central Europe. That opinion yet lingers in Holland. It has already been practically solved in our country, and we are convinced that in these days economy of time, beyond every other consideration, is the essential e l emen t o f commerce ; indeed, I m a y sa y, that it has already been proved so here, for since the introdution of railways in Belgium, has not Antwerp been enabled to seize upon a great part of your former transit trade, and to carry it by her railways to Cologne ? From that moment your position at Rotterdam, as naturally commanding by means of the Rhine, the great transit trade to the centre of Germany was lost—your large colonial products alone remained to you. But Rotterdam can now resume the leading position she formerly held and regain the trade for which her port so admirably qualifies her. This happy union of English and Dutch capital and energy must doubtless soon produce a marked effect on the pr greys of Rotterdam ; and it is highly gratifying for us, the English now present. and will be to the shareholders, to feel that the interests of those shareholders, and of the communities of Rotterdam and h msterdam, are thus so closely identified ; and there cannot be a doubt that, under such auspices as we see around us, and in close connection with such a powerfsl ally as the Cologne Minden Company, the shareholders will be remunerated for all their sacifices. I beg, therefore, to conclude by again acknowledging the grateful sense we entertain of the very handsome manner in which your Excellency has expressed yourself, and to propose " Pros perity to the town of Rotterdam." The assembly evinced their sympathy by cheers, and various other toasts and senti ments enlivened the progress of the entertainment, and those of the gusts who chose adjourned to the ball-room, where dancing was kept up until a late hour. Thus terminated the three ',days' festivities which inau gurated the opening of the Dutch Rhenish Railway, conducted on a scale of expenditure and magnificence unparalleled in railway annals. Two great communities, long isolated from each other, though such near neighbours, have thus been brought into intimate union ; and if the warmth and cordiality of feeling displayed on the occasion be any criterion, the shareholders may safely look forward to the realisation of their moat sanguine calculations Among the English guests present were the Chairmen of the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union Railways. These gentlemen bad crossed over from Harwich in the Aquila steamer, to judge for themselves of the facilities offered by this new route between Harwich and the continent. Their advent was hailed with delight, and several of the English shareholders, including the commissaries, availed themselves of the friendly offer of these gentlemen, and returned with them the next day to Harwich, ' They thus ascertained that with suitable boats the passage from Rotterdam to Harwich could be done in about nine hours and a half ; or, adding two hours and a half from Harwich to London, twelve hours between London and Rotterdam. Comparing this with the time now occupied by steamers from London to Rotter dam or Antwerp, which is about twenty-two hours, the route by Harwich must eventually take the lead, while the direct and expeditious transist from Rotterdam to Cologne, in about eight hours, must give this route a decided preference for the traveller over the circuitous one by Belgium or Calais. The visitors in the Aquila, most of them from Liverpool, and unacquainted with Harwich, were struck with the immense capabilities of its harbour ; and all agreed that the shareholders, both of the Eastern Counties and Dutch Rhenish Railways, would find it their interest to turn such great natural advantages to account. MEETING OF THE SHAREHOLDERS On Tuesday, the 21st, the shareholders — held their adjourned general meeting, and also a special meeting. Mr. Van Dam Van Isselt, in the absence of Mr. Faber Van Rymsdik, took the chair. The number of shares represented was between 50,000 and 60,000. Mr. C. Holland said that the annual general meeting had been adjourned in conse quence of the retirement of Mr. Donker Curtius, the then president. The shareholders deeply regretted that retire ment and felt awkwardly placed and had anxiously delibe rated how to fulfil the pledge they had given in June, to select, if possible, a native of Holland to succeed Mr. Cur tius. Their efforts, however, had, he regretted to say, been unsuccessful. The presidency or such a line must be com mitted to a man of business, and it was impossible to find a man willing to make the needful sacrifices. If such a position had been conceded to a man of high name, he would have been exposed to all the responsibility of office without adequate knowledge to protect himself. In this dilemma, Count Schimmelpennick had exerted himself, but equally without success. The shareholders had, therefore, come to the conclusion, that now the junction with Prussia was completed, the office cf president should no longer remain in a state of interregnum. more especially as there was a gentleman present enjoying the confidence of the English shareholders and of the Dutch commissaries, and be was happy to propose Mr. Hesleden as president of the direction, in doing which he was fortified by the opinion of Count Schimmelpennick and various com missaries of the propriety of the nomination. Hereafter he hoped to find a native of Holland qualified to assist Mr. Hesleden as vice-president, but at the moment he was not prepared with the name of a suitable gentleman. Mr. Van Dam Van Isselt agreed with Mr. Holland that a president with out knowledge and experience in railway matters would be useless, and cordially concurred in the nomination. Mr. Hesleden was then unanimously elected president, and briefly returned thanks. Mr. Van Dam Van Isselt con gratulated Mr. Hesleden upon his appointment, saying that he enjoyed the confidence both of the English and Dutch ; and although differences of opinion had arisen, they (the Dutch) had always appreciated his energy and talent. Mr. Zillisen was also named vice-president for the current year. Mr. Van Dam Van Isselt then expressed his regret that at the meeting of June Mr. Goddefroi had not been re-elected a commissary. This was a time of general peacemaking, festivity, and joyonsneas, and on behalf of himself and the Dutch commissaries, he asked, as a favour, that his old colleague should be re-elected a commissary. Mr. Holland then proposed that gentleman's re election, and Mr. Tinne seconded the proposition—disclaiming all personal feeling in the part he had taken on a previous occasion. Mr. Thos. E. Moss then proposed that Mr. Hesleden's salary be fixed at £l,OOO per annum, which was seconded by Mr. Allcard, and carried. The adjourned meeting having been concluded, the special meeting followed, and was opened by a speech from T. E. Moss, Esq., who proposed that a sum of 80,000 florins be hold at the disposal of the committee, to be divided in such way as they might think proper. Mr. G. E. Taunton, whilst cordially seconding the resolution, could not omit to mention the high sense entertained by all parties of the servides of Mr. Beloe, who, front the first, had acted as secretary to his friends in Liverpool. The directors were subsequently authorised to apply to the government for permission to make a small connecting link between the two lines near Utrecht, by which the direct line from Rotterdam and Amsterdam would be considerably shortened, and a large saving effected in working expenses. Thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting separated. BIKKENHEAD POLICE.-YESTERDAY. _ _ BEFORE J. S. JACKSON, ESQ. John Morgan, an engineer, was brought up charged with stealing a brass gland, belonging to the machinery of the steamboat the Queen of Beauty, of which Messrs. Colborne, the Seacombe ferry proprietors, are the owners. The prisoner was detected while offering to sell the property at a marine store dealer's in Birkenhead, and, when asked to account for the possession of it, he said he found it.

The Magistrate said it was one of those cases now, unfortunately, of very frequent occur rence, where a servant was receiving good wages, and yet, at the same time, be robbing his employers, and he was determined to send all such cases, if clearly brought home to the party charged, to the sessions for trial, and accordingly committed the prisoner for trial at the next Knutsford sessions.

WEST DERBY GUARDIANS Tho usual weekly meeting of this board of guardians was held at the Board-room, Mill-lane, Everton, yesterday—Mr. J. Harrison presided. The other guardians present were— Messrs. H. Edwards, Siddeley, Lunt, Wilson, Morris, Elias, Leyland, Abrahams, Evans, Whitby, and Wensley. OFFICIAL RETURNS The Clerk reported that he had examined all the books kept by the several officers of the Union, and found them correctly made up to the present time. The Master of the Workhouse reported that last week there were 631 paupers in the workhouse, since when nineteen had been admitted, twenty-six discharged, and two deaths, leaving this week 622, and there were for the corresponding week of last year 646 paupers in the house. The Master of the Hospital reported that there wore ninety five patients in that establishment last week, since when twelve had been admitted, nine discharged, and two deaths, leaving this week ninety-six ; for the corresponding week of last year there were only sixty‘six. A NEW WORKHOUSE Mr. Pitts said he rose for the purpose of giving notice that he should move for the appointment of a special committee, to take into consideration the present accommodation of the in door paupers, with a view to the extension of the present building, or the erection of a new one, and for them to report thereon to the board. Re said as theto was not a quorum at the meeting of the visiting committee, on the previous evening, when he should have brought the subject forward, he felt it his duty to bring the subject before the General Board. He was aware that there wero many opinions existing as to the propriety of erecting a new workhouse, some thinking that it would bo advisable to take Toxteth Park from the Union, and to let them manage their own poor. In that view he did not agree. He then went on to suggest that the Board should pur— chase about 100 acres of land, erecting a new workhouse, and have farm premises, and cultivate the land, which would be a good labour test. By adopting such a course he thought the Board might save a net revenue of £1,500 to £2,000 per annum. He then stated that they would require some alteration in taking the averages of the Union, contending that as they were at present taken, was unjust to some of the townships. Having been told that the introduc. tion of such a subject was irrevelent, he concluded by moving the appointment of a special committee to consider the subject. Mr. Whitby moved, as an amendment, that the subject be postponed for six months. Mr. Lunt seconded the amendment. Mr. Edwards, although not agreeing on Mr. Pitts details, had much pleasure in seconding the original motion. After some conversation, it was moved that the subject be referred to the visiting committee, which, on a division being taken, was carried by a majority of two—eight voting for the amendment, and six for the original motion. After transacting some routine business, the board adjonrned, " THE NEW SAFETY INKSTAND, we can bear personal witness to, secures to all classes one which will keep the ink always clean and good, will prevent that accumulation of oxide which spoils the finest writing, and de- troys the best pen ; by means of this inkstand, too, the amount of ink taken up by the pen can be easily regulated."— Portsmouth Times and 11 T aval Gazette.---Sold by all Book- Eiellers.
