A Russian squadron, consisting of three slrew corvettes, and four steam gunboats, is in the road stead of Copenhagen. The destination of this squadron is the Amour river. The Russian screw frigate Askold, of 360-horse power, carrying 16 guns, and a crew of 470 men, has arrived at Kiel. Her destination is Japan. Her commander, Captain UdanowAi, com - nanded on that station for five years He will be at the orders of the Russian political agent in the Japanese waters. SPAIN. The fallowing private telcgratia has been re ceived MADRID, OCT. 21. " The convocation of the Cortep, which was to take place on the 30th October, is postponed to the 31st December. " Prayers have been offered in all the churches for the safe deliverance of the Queen." The Madrid journals of the 17th have arrived. It was said that the new Cabinet had resolved ,to display indulgence towards the press, and not to seize journals except for attacks on the subjects of religion or morality, or for exciting disturbances; or for insulting public functionaries ; it was even supposed that it intended to modify the law on the press in a liberal spirit. The newspapers were so delighted at this news that the offices of the Iberia the Occilente, the Estado, the Discusion, and or almost all the other political journals, were illu minated ; but, at the request of the civil governor, who thought the demonstratian obj,!ctionable, the illuminations were extinguished.. All the retiring Ministers, in grand uniform, had waited on the 'Queen to take leave of her Mejesty, and the Queen treated 4hern with kindness. On the formation of the •Min:stry the Ambassadors at London and Paris were to be changed. Permission had been sent by telegraph to Count de Reuss (Prim", and M. Chiefly Rente to return to Spain. It was considered certain that M. Bustillos would be the new Minister of Marine. It was reported than some friends of the retired Ministers had attempted to persuade the regiments of the garrison to send deputations without arms to the Queen, a raying her not ta disrdss the Cabinet, but that, the execution of the plan had been prevented by the intervention of the Ciptain General of Madrid. It was said that a brother of the new President of the Connell would be appointed CaPtain General of Cuba. "The last report about General Narvaez was that he meant to retire to France. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, OCT. .21. As long as the King remains in the present; lamentable state in which I am grieved to he obliged to describe him, I apprehend there will be no political news for me to report to you apart from what stands in immediate connexion with this sad event. Fortunately, there is no urgent question of foreign poiitics at this moment requiring to be settled.,, for; according to the discipline of this Government, it would not be com petent for the Minister of Foreign Affairs to forward any diplomatic despatch on it without its receiving the King's sanction ble, on the other hand, there are hundreds of matters con nected with the internal administratioe of the country that have already been waiting for months in .suspense, the despatch of which is imperatively necessary to prevent . the large interests of the country from coming to a standstill. My resent letters have shswn you that for the last five or six days, the King's convalescence, though it may not have absolutely retrograded, has by no means eon tinned to make that progress which the ,iret great rally on the 1•Ozh inst. gave promise of. a pro mise which was more or :ess fulfilled during the next few succeeding days. The physicians in attendance on his Majesty, when called on by the Minister in Council, on the 10.11 inst., named, as I have already informed yet', a period of nine days from the date of the attack as requisite to enable them to pronounce distinctly upon the turn the disorder would_ take. Nature, however, settled the first :grave question,: as to whether the attack would immediately • lake a fatal turn, by such a favourable change as set that point at rest. This change was so favourable as to lead to the hope that the King's state would admit soon•of its being suggested tolitueo empower the Prince of Prussia to administer the affairs of the kingdom in his name; the - pouviction of the ,physi-ians re maining unaltered, in spite,of the sudden improve ment that a total withdrawal from business for a lengthened period will be perfectly indispensable to his entire recovery. That period, however, passed over without the King's manifesting the capacity to entertain so important a question, and one of a nature so exciting to himself perSonally. 'Oh Saturday last, the 17th. instant, therefore the physicians were again . summoned by mini sters to pronounce as t, the probability of h's • Majesty's soda being in a fit sta'a to attend to this most urgent subject, and, in the event of their expectations on this pint not being rerlized, what duration of the present btate of incapaeity would suffice to enable them to pro nounce, according to the reqeirements of the Char ter, that the King is "ddaernci yerkin lent" (die ablt d for a lengthy period) from exercising his func 'ions. The period the physicians have fixed upon, as I am credibly assured, ia a fo:tnight from that day (17:h ins ), so that if within that time the King should not have so far recovered as to admit of this subject Leing brought before him, they will at the expiration of that time feel themselves justified is pronouncing distinctly his disability for a lengthy period." In the event of this latter contingenty supervening the Prince of Prussia will assume the Regency in virtue cf Art 56 of the Charter, and is assured beforehand of the assent and approval of Ministers and the Royal Family of that step • Should the - King, hoiveYere so far recover his strength of mind as to entertain the subject, and consent to empower his brether to rule in his name, that alternative will be gladly embraced by the Prince out of respect arid consideration for his bro ther, although in the interest both of the. Prince and the State at large a distinct Regency would be far preferable. There is, however, aeother contin gency, which I poioted out in a former letter, for which, as far as I have heard, no provision has been made, and that is, that the King should recover sufficiently to. admit of the subject being in troduced to him, and should then refuse to give the Prince the requisite authority ; the very act of introducing theauhject to him, would be a recog nition of his capacity to decide upon it, and I:ne t-dude for a lengthened period all 'possibility or propriety pronouncing incapable, even though teat should Le obvious; and thus the present state of things which nay be termed political paralysis, would be prolonged indefiuitely: Mr. Carmichael, surgeon, of Mexborongh. near Don caster, is in custody on a charge of using it s'ruments to procure the abortion of his housekeeper. THE BATTLE or lin QuAcKs.—.At the :Welt Riding sessions, Leede, on Thur.day; William Langley Riley, described as a botanist, was charged wi;h obtaining 5i 61 from Henry Taylor, sinner, Wakefield, with intent to defraud. The prisoner had cxerci ,, ed his calling in that town as a med'cal botanist, and lived in flashy style He reptesented to Taylor that he could cure his son of epilepsy. Taylor asked him if he knew a Mr. Dickril!, of Herne Bay, vsho also professed to cure the same tr üble. Riley thereupon represented that he was Doekrill, and that he aeverthelLims , lf under tin:: came. Upon this the 63 61 was banded to him for the cart: of the lad. Befora the core could be effec'ed, Langley ad teen put in prison. The identical D ck-ill now appeand in the witne s box. and proved that Langley was a different pEr,on from him, — The berch found Langley - guilty of false pretence, but in consideration of his having bun already in pol, they gcn. l _teneeci him to one montb'a imprisonment. FAREWELL SOIREE TO THE HONOURABLE NEAL DOW, LAST NIGHT. A Tea Meeting was held at the Concert Hall, last night, for the purpose of giving "an opp ztanity to the Alliance and temperance friends to take a farewell of the Hon. Neal Dow," and to p esent, through him, " a congratula tory address to the American sons of temperance frolt those of Liverpool." There was a large attendance,—the body and galleries of the hall being well fillet. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform were the H m Neal Dow, Lawrence Heyworth, Samuel Pope, hon. secretary of the Alliance, F R. Lees, Joseph Thomas, Robert Harvey, Jas Williqma, T. F. B trker, Thomas Jones, Edgard Mundy, J. Wilson, J. Finch, William (ratty, J. P. Hen4erson, W. Carmichael. &c , &c. When tea had been partaken of, the chair was taken, amid load cheers, by LAWaENCa HEYW IRTII, E q. The Coat: sae, in a few opening remarks, alluded to the guest of the evening as the first man who had ca'led the attention of legislatures to the necessity of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating ligners, which were acknowledged by all men, and men of all &wee, to be the great source of all the immoralities wit ch disgrace our common human nature He Succ.:eded in obtainin IT a law against the sale of those liquors. It was true that like the tide of all other movement- which had made themselves suceessful for a time, its tide had also receded for a time, but the advocates of that restrictive law did not entertain any fear upon that account. They knew that the p-ine'p!e which they sustained —that th prohibion of the sale of intoxicating drinks— was essential to the progress and well-being of the human family, and that it must succeed. Tae chairman alluded to the fact that the Hon. Neel Dow Was ablut t ) 'save this country immediately. and declared on the pert of the meeting that he would carry with him the be t wiettes of all present, for himself, for the succe s of his efforts to promote the good of mankind. and for the great cause with which his name was identified (cheers). Dr. Lre , s was then &led up m to move the first resolu tion, wh'eh was as follows: —"That this meeting, in bid ding a cordial farewell to the lion. Neal D3W, expresses its grateful appreciation of his di tioguished and dis interested services on behalf of the Temperance cause, and reel, ds its confidence in the principles of the p-obibitiory liquor law, and in its increasing success in the New Englend States." The speaker advocated the resolution in a lengthened aldrees in the course of which he entered into a physioolg'cal and scientific analysis of the principles of total abstinence, the truth of which he contended was n .w established by all science and experience, and admitted by every authority really qualified to pronounce upon the question. Dr. Lees, also, in the course of his speech referred to the Daily Post, and at considerable length. and with much vehemence, replied to an argument used in that j ,urnal, which quoted Liebig in snppert of the u'ility of alcohol as a digestive aid ; and recommeadei the NORTHERN TIMES, which argued so frequently in favour of sanatory reform, to begin by the advocacy of a moral reform more-imper tent than any other. Mr. SAKI/1M POPE seconded the motion The resolutim was cirriel by enthusiastic segamAtion. Mr. :TONES, upon the part of the Sons of Temperanc3 in Liverpool, presented a brief farewell address to the Iron. NPal Dow. Mr Dow came for card to return thanks, and was re ceived with the most vehement and enthasi stir accelama tion. He said : Mr. Caairman and gentlemen, it is a matter of great regret to me that upon this occasion, the last night I can spend in England, I should be under the necessity of presetting myself before you in such a state of bodily health as to render it entirely improper, and I had almost said impossible, for 'mt to address to you any lengthenel remarks. I feel myself, however cempeled, in response to the very fleitering a Idrese with which I have been presented, and in response, alsre to you: kind news in gettir g up the present meeting to bid me farewell, to sty a few words before I depart from the shores of glorious Old Eeglan I. (Cheers) I can assay° you that I depart from your shores wi h n 3 other fesliog than th it of reverence for this great and glorious country, ant of love towards Englishmen, and, I may say, towards English women too. (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) I have come into- c tntact with them—it has been my happiness to come into contact with a great number of them during my sojourn here. Me di appointment has 'been rot liu'e in my experience here in Great Britain ; for my impression. in •eommen with many of my countrymen, that, on the nart of the Eeglish people, there was reserve and distance. and scone little degree of coldness towards stringers who came among them. On arriving here I expected to reeeiwe kindness and attention from all classes of the people, especially from those in the interest of the temperance reform; bat, at the same time, I supposed that it wold come in the form of great reserve, and with a great deal of dignity of manner. But great was my surprise, disappointment, and pleasure when, at the very first moment of my landing here, ifoutis myself taken to the hearts of all temperance men, not only in Liver Pool and Manchestee bat during the who'e length and breadth of Crest Britain. (Cheers.) I return to my native country laden with very rich ceperienees of the kindness, generosity, and hospitality cf the people of this glorious country, throughout its whole extent, from north to south, from east to west. Every place I have been received, especially by the friends of this great and glorious cause, in a manner which has left an enduring impression upon my heart and my affections In pissing through the cenntry I have taken occa ion, and more especiallyduring the first few weeks of my sojourn, to ex press my opinion undonb'edly and unhesitatingly that the Heine Liquor Law was sure and certain for this country. since I have had feller opportunities of observing the Ev ils'i character, and seeing that it posessed all the qualities which my countryten ta re snppe - ed to posses in an extraordinary degree.-the qualities of energy and pate°. verence ; indomitable perseverance in the accompli-hment of any object which the people believe to bo important for the general interest and especially for the honor and glory of the country—l fsel sure that the time is - no-, far distant when the people of Great Britain will be thoroughly con vinced that the traffic in intoxicating drinks is entirely inconsistent with the happiness and pro Tetchy of the people. and the honor and glory . of the country. (Lou cheers.) lam sure the day is not far distant when the people of Great Britain will feel thus c invincod, re garding the trefficin in -,oxisating drink.; and when that traffic will be entirely stipprete ed. (fear, hear and loud cheers.) The hon. gentleman then proceeded to say that the only obstacle to be encoun'ered iu the prosecution of this en terprise was the ove-e erring of the prejudice which existed on the part of larg e numbers of the people as to the rights of government in the provinces. He had been surprised to hear objections from respectable and intelligent men, that while it would be desirable that g)vernment, if it could legitimately do so, suppress the traffic in intoxicating liquors , . yet that the attempt would be an interference with the rights and Drivilegei of the citizen. Such persons who ()Tired that objection ignored the fact that for many years the Eng'ish gorernmene bke other free geveremen - s, had been constantly iuter'ering with many matters relating to the generahinterests of the people, and involving the very principle which was involved in the law prohibiting the traffic in strong drinks. (Hear , hear) It was said, again, that if the suppression ol the liquor traffic were accomplished there would be the fear of numbers of persons being thrown on the parishes who Mete now employe -i in the cultivation of malt and barley, and in breweries and distilleries; but, as a set off they should rein Ober that if the liquor tratlic were suppressed, the .£l2 1,000,000 that were now annually spent would be drerted into all the channels of legt.imate trade, and greater employment era .t , d for the people. (hear, hear, and cheers ) As fer the people of New Engler' t, he conli safely and unhesitatingly say, that they were resolved to pursue this great object so long as a grog shop, either .openly or secretly. defiled their state. (Cheers.) In conclusion, he would say, that while his heart was filed with joy at the prospect of again speedily re visiting his e.untry, and of a speedy re-uuion with his family, yet that) feeling was mingled with grief at parting from those shores and so many English men and women whom he had learned to love. (Cheers.) He had to say again farewell, and might God grant in his Pr .vidence that the day was not very far distant, when this glorious country would bo relieved from the tremendous evil she was new enduring. in consequence of the traffic in strong drinks (Applause ) Thanks were then voted to the chairman, after which the aesemb'y separated.

MEETING 'OF VTR FRIENDS OF MR. D. CRO 3THWAITE. Last Evening the friends of Mr. D. Crosthwaite, held a public meeting at Barnsley's Coffee House, Everton, for the purpose of taking the necessary wisps to secure that gentleman's return at the approaching Municipal Elecion on the 2nd of November next. The meeting was called for &gilt o'clock, but it was long after that hour bef tie the electors gathered together. Mr. THOM 4.8 CHILTON, jun , the chairman of the commit tee, was called upon to preside. In opening the business of the meeting, he soil the eleetors were all aware for what purposes they had assembled, which was, to elect a gentlemen to represent them in she Town Council. (Hear.) He then alluded to the impottant duties to be performed by town councillors, which were neither easy o- light, and he con laded by observing that he did not think that they could have a better matt to represent them than Mr Crosthwaite, who had faithfully performed his duties for the last three years, and had attended to the duties, pethap , more so than any other member of the Calmed. (Hear, hear) He thought that the Liberal party had raised a factious opposition in bringing forward another candidate. He was in favour of improvement and reform, but he thought that the abuses should be pointed out to them before they interfered. He dd not express any fear as to the result of the election, if a contest really did take place. After what had taken . place be did not think that any man should be ashamed to call himself a Cen , ervative, but they did not ask the electors to supplant Mr. Crosthwaite because he was a Conservative, but because he had done his duty for th e last three years. (Cheers.) Mr E WHITLEY then moved a v .te of thanks to Mr. Crosthwaite, for his v stuable services for the past three years. He recommended Mr Crosthwaite because he lived in the ward and knew its requirements. (Hear, hear.) He 11.4 d hued that there would not have been any opposi tion ; but, at the last hour, they had hroneit'firi,ard a Person who was nit known in the ward. They had had great difficulty in getting a sand date, and a' last had brought forward a gentleman who, is his address, had insulted the electors. (Cheers) He was sure that the Conservative electors would support Mr. Crosthwaite to a man, and the liberal electors would do the same. He was sure that they would eot support a man who was only introduced by Mr. Corlthill —(laughter) —and who was the chairmen of the committee. He concluded by moving the resolution . Mr. BEdKLEY secasded the motion, in a speech of con siderable long h, in which be pasted some high encomiums on Mr. Crosthwaite for the past exertions and et ennon he had ,given as a member of the Health C. mmittee, the Education Committee, and the Gardens' Committee. He found that the rates h td been reduced since he hal become a member of the Council. He then alluded to the quest on of education, which was one of the greatest importance to the town. He then referred to the Corporation Schools, which were a most valuable acquieition to the town. The next subject he spoke upon was consistency of prineiple, and a ked why disturb the ward with the turmoil of a contest, when they had a good can didate. Hs next alluded to the conduct of the Ltberals in geeing up oppositions, and particularly 'o St. Peter's Ward, where they were opposing Mr. H. Banner, and bringing forward a stranger, for he never knew Mr. T. C. Bowring until he saw his name on the books, although he had lived in the town for twenty years. He would, in their owe wan), have liked to see some person of a higher position then' Mr. Corlthill, backing up Mr. Melly, who, it would be rec,llee'ed, was not the man who supplied the water finntains, but a brother. He then seconded the resolution, and hoped that all would rally round Mr. Crosthwaite on the day of election, ant again return him to the Council The resolution was then put, and carries unanimously Mr. CtIOETIIW&IT4 was then introduced to the electors, and was most cordia ly reesivei. Re said that he felt very grateful for the vote of thanks they had passel upon him for his past se vices, but before he proceeded with giving them a fall account of his steward hip, he must claim their indulgence, as he was suffering from the effects of a severe cold, and his medical man had told him that he must keep himself warm, and he felt that they had given him a warm reception, and had thus acted up to th 3 advice of his medical advisee lie really did say that he felt very much flattered with the way he hal been received on that occasion, and in giving an ace omit of his stew tr iship, he wool', he feared, have to talk about himself, which was very unpleasant., but he had a right to ell them what ha had done It was nearly three years since he had been sent into the Town Council, and when he did take non him these great and responsible duties, he assured them, that he felt he was undertaking a great responsibility in ... go . ng to represent such a large and important ward. weldrat • at th at time he was well aware that he had a g ooti coi -1 league to support him, and instruct him in the, antine bit-ineis of the committees. From that gentian:laq he had received every assistance. Witten he first want into the Council he was placed on nine committees end snb_ committees. to that. he had his work laid out for him— (hear, hear) —but he had worked hard, and had accom plished all the dia.:alias with which he has been sue rounded,' and had.made himself well up on all subjeats (Hear; hear.) He had first looked into the rating backs, and had examine I them all • most minutely, and he found a b,lancs against Everton of £-115, and the same w mid apply to Ktrletale. On that committee he had sat for six days snece-sively, and had advised that there should be some alterations male, and they were referred bask, and the result was, that both in Everton and in Ktrkdele the rates h'd been reducer), and there was a balance in the favour of the townships instead of against it ; therefore, it would appear, that the estate had not cuff: red since he had been in the Couhcil. (Rear, hear.) He next re• ferried to the Health Committee, of which he was also a member, and had attended nearly 500 meetings, and had done a 1 he could to improve the sanitary state of the Borengh. He was also a member of the E lucstion Committee, and he did hope that the time was not far distant when they would hate a branch school between Everson and Kirkdale, as one-was very much required in that district, and he would do all he could to impress that upon the committee and on the CyonAl. (Hear, hear ) Ike was also on the Garden- Committee, and he did hope to see a perk within the ward, and whOn-ivsr the sutjt,ct was b:ou..ht forward, it should have his best attention and consideration There was another point to which he wished to say a few word, and that was in refe• ranee to the roads in the out townships. Those roads lead to places at a distance, and were chiefly used by gentlemen who lived out of town, and were kept in repair at a very grew expense He thought that all the out townships ' should be annexed to the borough, and to have only one general rate (Hear, hear) He then referred to the gas and s noke.committees, of which he was also a member, and had attended many meetings, and he though. that great and goad results would accrue to the consumers of the former from the fact that they had appointed an inspector, to whom all disputes as to meters we - e referred (deer, he tic) Mr. Crosthwaite, in speaking on the question of water, said they were all conversant with his opinions of that point They all kne v he eyes opposed. to the P.lce bog eagle (Cheers:.) - He then detailed slt the steps that he had taken for the purpose of ascertaining the qua ity and the colour of the water, and the conclusion to which he had arrived was that the people should have the pure well water restore I to them as soma as possib e, for he did not he'ieva that any system of filrraion would give satisfa lion. (hear, hear.) In conclusion, he said, that if elected egain, he should endeavour to do the duties that devAve .1 upon him in the same itraightfirwar i way as he had done f ir the last three years, and th awi hoot fear, favour, or affection He thanked them for the kindness with which they h id listened to him, and resumed his seat amidst the most enlusiasic cheering. A person of the name of Bennett, wished to know from the Chairman, whether it was true that Mr. Melly was a Uni arias ? _ . The CIIAIRMVf said, he could not answer that question He rian.t answer the question himself. A Voit , e : Yes, he is ; he is like Stitt. BeNsaTr : The reason he had asked that question was, b:cause he wished to caution the electors, so that they might nct have the Bible agren taken out of the Corpora tion school, nor again sae the civic carriage drawn up at the chapel in Renshaw-street. (Cheers.) To avoid such a state of things, let them vote for Cros , hwaite. (Cheers.) Mr- Alderman B, hNI TT then proposed the next resolu tion, and in doing so he did not expect that Mr. Croeth waite would have been opposed, for he had always found him most attentive in performing the duties that hai devolved upon him The resolution was to the effect that a committee be appointed, and that they all use their' utmost endeavours to secure his triumph int return. Mr. D ANDUSON had tuuat pleasure in secon .ing the resolution, and expressed his surprise that any oppo sition should have been made to Mr. Cro , thwaits.'s re ura In alluding to the v ater question, he said that he was in favour of the Pike (laughter), and he did not believe that it was injurious to health, and before running the town to an expense of £150,000, cr more, for a new set of pipes. Le thought that all plans of filteration should be tried, and then it it was found that it could not be die enloured, why then let the old sand stone water be sup plied. With regard to the corporation schools, he could say that they were in a most satisfactory state, and there were 3,400 children in the bo, ks, but he mutt say that he did not know what M. Dyke meant when he said at a ward mee:7ng a few nights since, that they were not smil e/10 to the middle classes, None were excluded, and if the middle classes choose to send their children, they c mid do so. (Cheers) He then eulogised Mr. Crosthwaita and concluded by seconding the resolution, which was un an imont ly adopted. A vote of thanks t, the chairman concluded the business of the meeting, after which three cheers were given for Mr. Crosthwaite, and heartily responded to. LIVERPOOL SUNDAY SCHOOL AND LITERARY INSTITUrE. The annual meeting of this body was held last night, in Hope Hall. The chair was taken by C. R. Hall, Esq. Mr. E. W. Wynne, the hon secretary, read some letters of apology from gentlemen whoa ere prevented from being present. The attendance was very thin, not more than twenty-five gentlemen being p esent. The Chairman regret.ed that so few persons were present, and did not know whether to ascribe the paucity of numbers to the ab,ence of the usual refreshments, or other causes. There ware. however, both encouragement and drawbacks con nected with the past year, bat he feare i there was not as much interest taken in the institution as hereto fore, . but he trusted that the members would exert themselves, and overcome the difficulties that at present threatened them. He referred to a nevciation that was pending fir an amalgamation of the society with the Young Mens Christian Association, and that would b alluded to in the report, which would be read by Mr. Wynne. Mr. Wynne then proceeded to read the 11th annual report of the society, and it appeared that at the close of last year, the society was £140" in debt. It would require about £260 a year to sustain the association The report detailed the number of lectures given during thl last year. A. per4g.aph in the report, in regard to the reading room, stated that in consequence of cheap newspapers, the news rooms ware not so well , ttended, because the people get whit they wanted at home. The rep ert was very ample and alluded to the proposed amalgamation cf the s ciety with the Young Melts' Christian Society. The report concluded with the financial statement, from which it appeared that there was a balance due by the society of about £2ll. Tne Chairman then said tha meeting wa! one of business, and he would ask Mr. Woodward to mere the adopion of the rove, which that gentlemen did, and it was sec ended, aid after a few observations the motion passed. The meeting then proceedei to the election of officers for the aiming year. Mr Wo)dward inquires whether the society was to be given up or to be amalgamated with the Young Mons' Christian Society ? A long discussion took place on this point, when it was re'olved to refer back a setter received fmn the association for reconsideration, and after some other business the meeting s -parat ed.

When Pr.

These two events formed the theme of Brigha n Young's sarmoa one Sunday, of which Dr. Hoy sp talcs in th most derogatory terms. He says it was both ng but a tirade against the Unitdd Sta'es. He ( righam) spoke of the coming troops ; said he would sen I lithe women against them, and calal Ga,.

Dr. Hoy's account of the Mormons and their Sunday worthip is ludicrous in the extreme. Treacherous and treasonaids they certainly are, and in the blasphemy of their conduct, unecsallei in the world.

The c inmissioner retired with the parties to another room, where the bankrupt underwent a private (amine ion, the result of which was that Mr. M‘Manus, the chief constab'e, attend the rola), and took the barkrupt into custody. Mr. B ight was brought into the palice court at three o'clock, and took his place in the prisone 's eock, the soli citors,assieg'snseeemsbicdnte case, and other gentlemen having previously Mr. England (.dlessing Mr. Travis) said : May it please your honour, the piisoner before you is well known as Henry Smith Bright.

Mr. Payne was then sworn : Mr. England : Do you pro duce the writt r examination of the prieeter tkken in the Court of Bankruptcy this day. Witness : Yes. This is it (the examination was here produced). It was tt ken before Mr. Colarcii,sioner West. and signett by Mr. B ight.

Mr. Travis said he had just received intimation that there was another charge to be preferred against the prisoner. Mr. Wells then applied for the prisoner to be admitted to bail. Mr. Travis declined to grant it. Mr. Wells urged thet he required a full opportunity for conferring with his client. Mr. James Holden (who had just entered the court) here rose and said now becomes my painful daty, and a very serious duty it is, to prefer a charge against Mr. Bright, and I may state thit never in any case have I appeared with feelings of greater g ief to myself than I do now, preferring against him the very grave charge to which I shall have to draw your attention. The charge against him is the very serious ons of forgery, and that to a very large amount. However, at present, I shall only ask fur a remand, and lay before you such evidence as is r qulsite for that purpose. The late Mr. J Taylor, of Hud, who was the partner of Mr Bright, had a number of railway sharee, and his son, Mr. R. I. Taylor, had also sotte shares in his own name, and un to some few days age, he (Mr. R. I. Taylor) had every reason to beliove that those shares were in his tether's and his own name. H rwever, Mr. Taylor went to York the other day to make inq dries at the office of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway, and to his surprise and grief a trans er of those shares had been made. Both his own name and the name of his father had been writ'en on them; but both those names were forgeries. 'P e leose .eignat tares had actually been witnessed by Mr. Bright Mr. Teyl( r (lir. Holden went on to say) had not had time to make further inquiries respecting those shares, but he would pot hill into the witness box, and would then ask for a remand to enable the parties to come from York with the documents, and prove to the court how far the charge against Mr. Bright could be substantiated. Mr. Ilolden then called Mr. Robert I. Taylor, who, after te'nq, sworn, said : The late Mr. John T.iyior was my father ; he Is now dead. He had some shares in the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway ; I hrd also some shares. My father had one hundred and forty-four, and I had fifty. eight shares. I proceeded to York within t he last few days, and went to the secretary's office to examine the transfer deeds. The transfer deeds conveyed shares —Mr. Travis objected to the evidence.—Mr. noklen From what you have heard. you believe that your name has LI , en forged ? —Witness : Yes. I am satisfied that the shares have been transferred by a forged document The name of the witness to .the document. was H. S. Bright.—Cross examined by Mr. Wells : These shares were my father's property. Tney were not the partnership property of Taylor and Bright, I cannot swear that the fhares which • were mine were not the partnership I,roperty of Taylor and Bright.—By Mr. Travis: As understood by me. the whole of the shares were my father's own property.—Mr. Wells : I am instructed to the contrary._Mr.Tr , vis . That must be matter for.evidt nee.;—Mr.Wells then again applied for bail.—Mr. Heiden stated that. Mr. Taylor would not object to bail ; but. Mr. Taylor declined to tsl:e upon himself the responsibility of gransirg it.—Mr.Wells: Ain I to understand that I shall have every facility afforded for the inspection of the papers and other docurn , nts ? Mr. England: Yes —Mr. S.ixelbye : We will undertake, on behalf of the assignees, that he shall have free access to his bo rtf r. Travis then remanded the prisoner until WAnes dav next, and stated that it would be taken in the ordinary course on that day, but as early as the arrangements of the court would allow. The prisoner then left the dock, and was removed to the gaol in a cab. The warrant issued f;the apprehension of Mr. Bright was for forging an endorsement of Charles Tiltson upon it certain bill of exchange fir the payment of .£491 4s, with i:ltent to defraud Robert Harrison and others.
