THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1853 TELE generality of people .are too apt to form an opinion as to the,social condition of a city or town, by the. anaOunt of commerce or manufacture for which it is remarkable.' But the philosopher looks deeper. He is not led away by what he considers the_illusiOn of outward prosperity, but carries his investigations into the heart of society. Although he Etii,glit'admit with BeitET, that " the increase of ...,is. a great number of citizens in prosperity is a neces sarr element to the security, and even the existence of e'civilised people ;" nevertheless he forms his coOn,sions on this point more from the social andi o tnoral condition of the masses —the manner in.v#VC WO* laws are observed—and the character and -^ n - 4 of crime 7 -than from the semblance grSofV Success. • .We think it was Dr. c< - -alliii . : *(1, "-I care not who make the laws, (7.,7 -. .iorei'e44---t: It : but the making of the people's ( 2,1; •1 - 4 . . reference to the social condition ‘ \ c - :, - i_OCalvieri) . itc e 444 : ip.

A si ,i, i • • Upon this subject his lordship observes : " Now, •I cannot help thinking that it is a very bad " state of the law which permits persons thus to "be prompted . even to the commission of the " crime of murder. We know that on many " occasions it has been plainly remonstrated in " courts of justice, that such results have followed " from such premises ; and it behoves those who " have influence in parliament to see whether they " cannot, by a very easy and simple arrangement, " put an end to the temptation, and perhaps, with " the temptation, to the crime. It is a most simple " alteration which could be made, as it seems to " me, for the purpose of preventing this offence. " Why it has never been done, passes my compre " hension. It seems to me that this could be done " by preventing money being given for the purpose " of burial, and by compelling the clubs to bury " the-members themselves. They might supply " all that was necessary for the funeral, and by " that means there would be no temptation to the " recipient as there would be no profit at all. " There would be no surplus money to be handed " over to the family; and, therefore, the temptation " would be entirely taken away, if instead of giving " money in order that the parents or relatives " might bury, perhaps at a cheap rate, the persons " who are dead, they are compelled to furnish, " through an undertaker, the funeral requisites, " more or less subject to control according to the " subscriptions which had been paid. That seems "to me to be an easy and simple remedy for re " moving the temptation to this offence ; and I do " hope that I may not speak in vain." Prc vention is better than cure. And we do trust that the sensible and practicable suggestions thrown out by the, learned judge will receive that prompt and serious attention which their impor tance demands. The case now for trial is, unhap pily, not an isolated one. We can recall to mind, and doubtless will our readers, others of a similar, or if possible a more heinous character. Al though it is not within the power of the ablest and wisest administration to prevent the commission of crime, still there is much within the province of legisla tors to materially counteract, if not considerably to diminish it. But there is another topic upon which it is desirable to offer a few remarks. We allude to the new and atrocious features which the aspects of crime are assuming in this country. 'Tis but a few years ago since General HAYNAU was treated to a severe, and we must say, however well-merited, un justifiable castigation, by BARCL A Y and PERKINS' draymen, for having permitted or commanded the flagellation of the other sex ! And now the abominable and unmanly practice of beating, wounding, and even murdering women,thas become almost a confirmed crime—all the more despicable and criminal from the - fact of wives being the miserable victims of their husbands' atrocity. Can anything equal this degree of moral turpitude ? Can any spot of earth be found in this interminable globe,. out of civilised and Christian England, where such infamous deeds are perpetrated so frequently and to so lamentable an extent ? We do not believe it. The common instincts of nature, independent of moral obligations or the stringency of human laws, one would suppose sufficient to deter from such outrageous criminality. Among the lower grades of animal existence we find a degree of natural affection, which some monsters, called men, would do well to imitate. .Even " The poor wren, The most diminutive of birds, will fight, Her young ones in her nest, against the owl." But another crime, hitherto almost confined to one or two continental countries, is taking root amongst us. We refer to that of stabbing—a most dastardly, cowardly, and ruffianly mode of attack. For the last three years no fewer than 255 persons have been committed and tried for this offence, inclusive of 17 now on the criminal calen der for the County of Lancaster. The present. year witnesses an increase of 58 cases over the past, and of 39 over that immediately preceding it. In his charge to the Grand Jury, adverting to this very circumstance, the learned BARON observes . :— " Among eighty-three prisoners, • there are seven " teen who are accused of the offence of stabbing : " and I have been furnished, I am sorry to say it, " by.parties. who have taken pains to inquire into " the matter, with very satisfactory evidence to " show that this crime is increasing in a mosf enor " mous extent in this country. It is said this is "an 'un-English offence. I am sorry to say the " statistical account does not bear out that boast of " ours. Of the 99 who have this year been coin " mitted for trial in this country, only 9 have been " foreigners—the 90 have been natives of our own " dominions. No therefore, to boast over " the foreigner in that respect. It ceases to be an " un-English crime—it becomes a very English " crime ; and one cannot help lamenting that it " should be so, These cases have been evenly di " vided. Of the 99, 30 belong to this town—they " are natives of it ; 14 only are due to all the rest "of England; 44 to Ireland; 1 to Scotland; 1 to " the Isle of Man ; and 9 to foreign countries gene. " rally. What is the cause of this ? • Is it a general " fierceness of disposition ? That is a serious " question to be inquired into by those who live " here—clergy, magistrates, and gentry;' and I " commend it specially to their attention, that they " may do what lies in their power, to stop au evil " which seems to be so prevalent." Here, then, is ample cause for alarm. With all our boasted wealth, commerce, churches, schools, national education, police, laws, prisons, and charities, here is a patent fact before us—that crime, of a fearful character and, magnitude, is increasing in our midst—crime such as we have hitherto been almost unacquainted .with—and which, Gon grant, may not long abide with us ! Who, or what, is to stay the evil? That is the question! PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION.—SOUTH STAFFORD SHIRE.—There was a meeting held at Wolverhampton on Monday evening, in connection with the representation of the southern division of Staffordshire. The meeting was one of liberals, and Mr. Robert Scott, late M.P., for Wal sall, presided. It was unanimously resolved to nominate Lord Paget, and the registry containing 8354 liberal voters, they expect to carry his election. SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE.—There was a meeting held at Stroud on Monday in connection with this election. Nearly 2,000 persons were present. Mr. S. S: Marling :presided, and Mr. Holland, the liberal candidate addressed the meeting. A resolution to support him was passed unani mously. ANTI-CORN Law LEAGUE.—The prize of £250 offered by the anti-corn law league for the list essay, showing the results of the repeal of the corn law 4cl free trade p o licy, upon the moral, the social, the commercial, and the political interests of the united kingdom, has been awarded to the Rev. Mr. Dunckley, a baptist minister, at Salford. The second prize has £5O, been taken by Mr. James Grant, bar rister, of London. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.-=This house is at present occu pied by the renowned Pablo Fanque, who has with him a splendid stud, and a talented company. In addition to the equestrian talent of the establishment, the services of Mr. Brown, the very able clown, are secured. Hs celebrated electioneering speeches call dowg nightly thunders of applause. The performances on the whole are of a very superior character, and the attendance has been good. THE ASSlZES.—Yesterday the grand jury fount true bills against Emanuel Monterro, for the murder cf Richard Jarvis Crispin at Liverpool ; and against Thomas Copeland, for the murder of Richard Sunderland, a Liverptol police man. The trial of Monterro, is fixed for this morui, before Mr. Baron Alderson. It is not expected that the atzes will terminate before the end of the week. TAE PRESTON STEIKE.—The operative spinners' committee issued another address yesterday afternoon, in which they reiterate the principles on which they began their strike, and announce their determination to continue it. TLey say that the short time running is resorted to solely to prevent, if possible, subscriptions for supporting them, and call on their brethren to stand firm—that the contest at Preston is in tho cause of all the operatives, and of all the tradesmen throughout the kingdom. Loss OF THE MARSHALL STEAMER.—The Londonourials of Wednesday contain a d e p os iti on f rom C ap t a i n Gatgens, respecting this ill-fated vessel. The document, however, need not be repeated in our columns, as it does not afbrd any facts in addition to those in our columns on Monday morning. Captain Gatgens is master of the barque Wool house, and there seems no doubt the Marshall foundered after a collision with his ship. Hopes were entertained that some of the passengers of the Marshall might have been picked up by some of the coasters which almost hourly pass the spot where the steamer went down, but the time that his intervened since her loss, without any such gratifying intel ligence being received, leaves little doubt but that the whole must have perished. On reference to Lloyd's register o! shipping, we find that that , steamer was an iron vessel of 260 tons, and was built at Shields in 1846, and had recently undergone some repairs at that port. 4. WEST DERBY Nis:mg.—Yesterday the usual periodical meeting of the board was held at the union house. Mr. Harrison presided. The guardians present were, Messrs. Alpass, Heyes, M'Gee, G. Harrison, Abrahams, Jeffreys, Mountfold, Kirkus P Roskell Tattershall, Rorsfall, Carter, Pilkington, Lunt,- Metcalf, and Craig. By the returns it appeared there were 667 paupers in the house ; during the corresponding week last year, there were 724. The balance in the hands of the treasurer, was 1,206/. 12s 9d, and checks for out door-relief were given for the following sums : Allen, 741.; Olney, 251; Potts, 851. ; and Lythgoe, 18/. A com plaint having been made by the inspector of schools, relative to the management of the school connected with the union, the subject was referred to the visiting committee, with a request that they would report thereon to the next board. Mr. Kirkus gave notice that he should move, at the next meeting, that an organ be erected in the workhouse chapel ; and by . Mr. Reyes that he should move the appointment of a vaccination surgeon to the union. There being no other business, the meeting sfparated. THE SHOEMAKERS EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT.—Last night, a meeting of the assistants in shoe shops, at which several of the employers were also present, was convened at the Roebuck Inn, Queen's square, for the purpose of. form ing a society, by which that object would be more speedily achieved. Mr. Turner was in the chair. Several excel lent observations were made by the speakers, clearly show ing the benefits that would be derived to the assistants, without any injury to the masters, by closing the shops at eight o'clock; and after passing various resolutions bearing on the subject, an early closing society was formed, several of the employers present, rendering their assistanee, by con tributions to carry out the object.. A vote of thanks was passed to those masters who had commenced on Monday to close their shops at eight o'clock, and a general hope was experienced that the few masters who still refused to do so, would soon see into the error of their ways, and by so doing, would confer a great,--beon upon the employees. generally. THE BOARD OP TRADE AND THE LIVERPOOL PILOTAGE SYSTEIL—The board of trade have stepped in to inquire into the grounds of the dispute at present, and for some time past, existing between the masters and men engaged in the pilot service of the Mersey. On Monday last, we learn, the pilots' committee were somewhat startled by. the receipt of an official communication from the marine department of that board, requiring information with respect to the nature of their ob jections to the claims of the men, a statement of which, it appears, had been laid before them; and upon the committee's reply, and the reasonableness of those objections, will pro bably depend the important issue, whether the pilot service of Liverpool will in future be subjected to the control of the board of trade, or its powers be withdrawn altogether, and central management es,tablished. We foresaw that into such a dilemma as this the committee would bring themselves, if they obstinately refused reasonable concession to the men and we therefore advised them some weeks ago, if they had at heart the real welfare of the service, to put an end to its internal feuds. They should have known, from experience, that the board of trade desired nothing more earnestly than an opportunity of justifiable interference with the body of men under their control ; and this fact should have been still more clear to them, after they had proclaimed their deter mination teset the pilotage act of last session at defiance, by refusing to license the masters and mates engaged in our coasting service. They chose to act, however, upon the promptings of their own wisdom, or of other perhaps inte rested parties ; and they must abide the consequences, unless, indeed, there be still time for them to re-consider their course, and, ,even at this la s t h our , re tr ace it. Of one thi ng they may be certain—that, whether or not, the board of trade possesses powers under the lately passed pilotage act, to carry out their views fully, they can readily obtain such powers. They can carry any new measure which receives the sanction of the department over which Mr. Cardwell pre sides, whatever amount of local opposition may be directed against it. If, therefore, the committee, and the general body of commissioners, wish still to retain the management of the pilotage system of the port in their own hands, they should at once take away, so far as is possible, from the board of trade all apparent necessity for its present interference. Anti as one indueement for surrendering apiniors upon the "subject of the claims made by the men—opinions which may have been too hastily formed—they may safely urge, what must be their conviction, that an inquiry once instituted into the present system by government, may possibly be car ried much beyond the simple questions out of which it origiaated, . _ [The committee took the whole subject of the railway and is difficulties into consideration—the expenditure in making plant and stock—the value of the whole at present, and . going brough whatever has formed a subject for discussion or !mated difficulty, presented a seriatim report and decision on every point. Most of those are touched upon in the beech of Mr. Parker.] The CHAIRMAN said he presumed it would now be for a nember of the committee to propose the adoption of the !sport, as . it was their own report. The Right Hon. J. PARKES, chairman of the committee cf consultation, said it fell to his lot to move the adoption cf the report ; and the committee had to ask for a deliberate, and calm, and business-like consideration of the important matters brought before them therein. The fate of their railway depended, in his judgment, as the committee had said in their report, upon the concentrated energies of the board ,and the shareholders; and the more they could direct,their energies into a consentaneous channel and act harmoniously together, the sooner would they have a chance of being ex tricaied from the position in which they had been for some time. He would undertake to say, that though the subjects before the committee were luminous and comprehensive, and though gentlemen entered upon their consideration with dif fereit opinions, and came from different parts of the country, yet there was a disposition on the part of all to adopt no coarse except that which appeared to be for the benefit of the proprietors. He trusted, therefore, that the committee would have credit for having :lone their best. The com mittee had, in their report, gone upon the principle of giv ing the proprietors the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. As to the financial portion of the company, the committee had placed the simple facts before the share holders. Now he came to what was called the manage ment of the company ;' and in reference to that the com mittee proposed the adoption of the method of affixing to the ordinary amount of salary, a certain proportion of aug mentation which would depend upon the net receipts—a plan which had been successfully carried out at the Cale donian line. (Hear.) The committee had also agreed on the appointment of a new manager, Mr. Edward Watkin. (Hear, hear.) He was told that ho brought with him a very high reputation, and that he was of opinion that his efforts in the restoration of their affairs would be more or less successful. Into the state of the board of directors he would not go at present, inasmuch as he understood that some gentlemen, who were unable to give up sufficient time to it, were about to retire, and that other members would retire by rotation at the next half-yearly meeting. And, in the meantime, some satisfactory arrangement, as to the construction of the board, might be come to. He came now to alliances, and the'course of policy which the company should pursue in respect to them—a subject, the full importance of which the committee have felt, because on the alliances formed depended, in a great measure, the prosperity of the com pany. (Hear, hear.) There were only two alliances open and before the shareholders. He would remind them that they had an agreement now existing, and if they had such an agreement, probably that would be ,a ground for their considering whether they should lean to the London and North-Western or the Great Northern as an ally, There was an agreement in existence, and he thought they should postpone their decision on the subject of alliances until the agreement 'existin had drawn to a termination, and, in the meantime, they might endeavour, if they could, to improve and amend it. He said when they had an agreement they should keep it, whether the agreement was right or wrong was another matter, but the events would show. And when they had kept the present agreement, they would have a clear stage before them to take what course they pleased respecting the proposed alliances. (Hear, hear.) At pre sent they had an alliance with the London and North- Western, and there were propositions from the Great Northern. The proposition on the part of the Great Northern was one for a fair interchange of traffic. The great object of the Great Northern was to get their traffic to Manchester ; it was the most natural scheme they could propose, and they wanted to have the use of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire line to have the run up to Man chester. And what was got, the Great Northern got ; but what was lost, the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire lost. From the moment the Great Northern passed Retford, the London and North-Western, seeing the Great Northern, and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire companies in alliance against them, why, what will the London and North Western do ? They would im mediately attack the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire in every way they could. It was the interest of the company to avoid conflicts ' • but he was sure there would be conflicts if they adopted an alliance with the Great Northern. He hoped the new system of paying the superior officers would lead to a diminution of the working expenses. As to the coal branches, they bad hitherto been unsuccessful, but there was a very fair prospect of a different result I takin& place. The committee had gladly proposed that ar bitration be offered to all parties having disputes with the company. Then as to the Humber ferries suit= the com mittee had agreed that the sooner the company got quit of that concern the better. Therefore the committee proposed that the directory be authorised •to • bring the proceedings to a close ; if they could do so. .Then as to preferential arrears, there were £280,000 of such arrears; and the committee were bound to say that this was a subject which sooner or later ought to press itself on the consideration of the com pany. But they proposed no plan, thinking that that might be done much better hereafter. The right hon. gentleman proposed the adoption of the report. Mr. W. FENTON seconded the resolution. • After a somewhat lengthened conversation the motion was carried all but unanimously, there being only one dissentient. Mr. Edward Watkin's engagement is for five years, at £1,200, with a small per tentage on increase of means to the. company. It was stated on the part of both the directors and the committee of cousultation, that there was no intention to compromise the interests of the holders of 6 per cent. pre ferential stock. _ _ The Right Hon. J. PARKER moved a resolutionto the effect that the directors be authorised to make terms with the de fendants in the Humber ferries suit, with a view to the final abandonment thereof. Mr. RonEwrs seconded the resolution, which was carried almost unanimously, there being but two dissentients, who were of opinion that it would better to postpone the matter to the next, half yearly meeting. After a vote of thanks to the noble chairman, the meeting separated. THE POLICE.-DETECTIVISII. 7-••T9- THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. Sir,—lt was with the greatest pleasure that I perused your leading commentaries, in this morning's paper, on the recent police transactions in the case of the Messrs. Riley. The case was 'so fully reported as to convince anybody that the famed detective policy of the police force is anything at all approaching to that wary, cautious, and prudent course, which should characterise the movements of those who are entrusted with such a peculiar mission.. The utter ignorance, and palpable stupidity manifested in the recent proceedings, ought not to be suffered to pass without reprehension from the proper authorities, and it is to be hoped. that the affair will. be brought under the notice .of those functionaries whose duty it is to administer the law in its integrity.. This system of wanton and bungling espionage, has been, and still is proceeding to a very great extent.; for not only do the police officers in innumerable cases exercise the most tyranical and illegal authority, and that, too, very evidently with the knowledge of their superiors, ..that it is high time public opinion should be expressed upon this very important subject. • In these few remarks, I do not wish to include all the members of our police force, for I know there are numbers of good, useful, and highly efficient officers, in whom caution, intelligence,.and firmness are combined ; but I .do say there are many who do not know their duty as conservators of the peace, and therefore ought not to be entrusted with any controul over the actions of their fellow-men, and who often ought to be made to change places with the unfortunate being in the dock. Let us hope, sir, that since you have so ably taken up the subject, you will continue to do so. Your advent has been hailed with good feelings on the part of those who plainly see that unlessthe powerful weight of a free press be brought to bear on the mal-practices of official functionaries, the evil will extend, and we, the common public, " must grin and bear it."—l am, sir, &c., December 7. BELFAST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, SATURDAY, DEC. 3. A memorial to the Board of Trade, in conjunction with the other chambers of commerce and agricultural boards, was adopted, praying that her majesty ' s gover n men t wou ld en deavour, by a friendly negotiation, to convince the Peruvian government that it would be for their interest to throw open the trade, and permit all nations to buy guano from them direct, without the intervention , of any agents in this coun try. The irregularity of the arrival of the Liverpool mail at Liverpool, via Fleetwood, after some discussion was again referred to the postal committec,—lforthern Lewis Meyers has been fully committed for the robbery at Leighton Buzzard. Mr. Robert Francis Webb, a person of great wealth, residing at Clarence-street, Islington, London, has been held to bail for beating his wife with a red-hot poker LINEN YARN.—The value of linen yarn exported was in the first ten months of this year £979,454. Last year it the same period it was £935,051. Tns VALUE Or STOCKINGS EXPORTED.—It is shown by a return just issued that, in the first ten months of the present year, of British manufacture there were 1,119,632 dozeri pairs of stockings exported, the value of which was £287,835. In the like period of last year the value was only £182,556.. EPISCOPAL ACCIDENT.-4:111 Friday evening . last, as the Bishops of Natal and Graham's Town were proceeiling to Cuddesden Palace, to meet a party at the Bishop of Oxford's, the carriage was upset near Wheatley, and the right rev. brethren were extricated from their perilous 'situation by being helped out through the window. FRENCH POLICE AND FRENCH MILITAItY.-21. fracas has just occurred at Calais. A young . officer conversin g in the theatre was ordered by the eommissiary t o desi s t. He as sented, but soon recommenced, and being spoken to a second time most peremptorily refused. The result was that the commissiary was about to take him into custody when he threatened to draw his sword. A fracas ensued, but no blows were given, and the police desisted, but both parties complained to head-quarters.. INQUESTS.—Yesterday, the coroner was engaged in hold ing inquests on the bodies of the following persons, who had died on the previous day, under the following circum stances :—Mary Small, a child, five years of age, whose clothes caught fire, and she died from the injuries she had sustained.—Bernard Dougherty, a labourer, who died sud denly, after taking tea, from natural causes. —James Bewley, a joiner, who, while in a state of intoxication, leaped from the Prince's dock into a boat, by which he received a severe wound on the head, and died soon after, being admitted to the Northern Hospital. Verdict accordingly.— James Dob son, who (lied suddenly from natural causes.—John Cooper, who died from having ruptured an artery neea the heart.— And Margaret Gore, a servant to Mr. Spencer, who died, after taking luncheon, previously, apparently, having been in good health. ACClDENTS.—Yesterday, the following persons were ad mitted inmates of the Northern Hospital, where they are at present under surgical attendance:—James M'Grath, who, while engaged on board the ship " Liverpool," received a severe wound in the face, by which it is expected he will lose his sight.—William Atherton, who fell into the hold of the ship " Alexander," by which his leg and . jaw were both broken, besides receiving other severe injuries.— Thomas Jolly, who fell into a cellar in Lowe-lane, and re ceived a contusion of the spine.—William Cochrane, who fell into the hold of the ship " Compromise," lying in Bramley-Moore dock, and received a severe contusion in the back.—And Philip Rowden who had injured his ankle and leg, by falling into the hold of the ship Tempest." SUICIDE OF A YOUNG• FEMALE.—A melancholy and disastrous occurrence, calculated to give rise to most painful feelings, occurred on board the " Laurel" steamer, during the passage, on Friday night, from Glasgow to this port. From the account of the occurrence which has reached us, it appears that a person who has attained some notoriety for keeping a house of an abandoned character in Queen-street, engaged passages, from Glasgow, 'for six or seven unfortu nate young females on the occasion referred to. During the course of the voyage, the party indulged rather freely in wine, and their conductor, perhaps apprehending that some accident might occur, succeeded in inducing them all to retire for 'the night, with the exception of one of the females, named Elizabeth Nixon, belonging, it is said, to Holywood. She had been in the cabin saloon for some time,• and in consequence, it would seem, of repeated re quests that she should go to rest like her companions, she went on deck between eleven and twelve o'clock, while the vessel-was off Ailsa Craig. She was followed on deck by* the female who had the party in charge, and while the latter was requestingcr the intervention of an American gen tleman who was on ° deck, in order to induce her to, go beloW, she suddenly caught hold of a portion of the rigging at that part of the vessel, and flung herself overboard into the sea. The vessel, at the time, was going at full speed, and all exertions to. rescue the unfortunate creature, who thus met an untimely and premature end, were entirely fruitless.—Northern Whig. REPREHENSIBLE CONDUCT OF A SHIP-MASTER.—WO have been informed, by a highly respectable commander of a Clyde-built brig, of a proceeding which, in our opinion, is not only very reprehensible, but is such as to call for the expression of the strongest terms of censure and disap probation. Our informant reached the English channel on the 25th ult., after a rough and tempestuous voyage from Paraiba. The weather was thick and heavy, and he had reason to imagine that he might be in error as to his position. He' had been unable, from the density of the fog, to obtain an Observation, and his soundings did not agree with his computed latitude. Ho had a fair wind, with which, in clear weather, he could easily have reached Liverpool, his destined port, on that evening. Believing that he might be mistaken as to his latitude, he did not risk proceeding up the channel; but, observing through the haze a ship, appa rently outward bound, he determined, for his own safety, and for the safety of his crew, ship, and cargo, to obtain, if possible, from the master of that vessel, information as to his whereabouts. He hove his ship to, and upon a black board exhibited his latitude and longitude, written in chalk. The master of the outward bound vessel must have seen it, for so closely did our informant come to the stern of that ship that he was able to distinguish her name. He spoke the ship, but received no answer; and, after hanging by her for some hours, he determined to beat about till he could make himself sure of his position, without having received, what the commander of the outward bound vessel must have been perfectly able to give, namely, a knowledge of his latitude and longitude. Had our informant received the information he so much desired, he would, as we have said, have reached Liverpool on Friday the 25th, but because of the incivility (to give his conduct the most courteous term possible) of the outward bound captain, lie did not reach that port, until late on Satnrday. It will be admitted that such condnet as this is despicable in the extreme, and it would be well that the energetic representatives of Lloyd's make an inquiry into the matter, when a fitting 01,1 - ; occurs.

And the history of `decayed empires, once &Med for their . civilisa tion and greatness; only prove how fatal it is to suffer public virtue to expire ; kit sedulously to guard every avenue to vice, as we would provide agaipst the emergency of invading foes. We have been led into this train of thought in consequence — of the address delivered by Mr. i3aron ALDERSON, to the Grand Jury, at the ,open ing of the South Lancashire Assizes, on Tuesday last. That address is most important, and any- - thing but consolatory. And some of the observa tions which have fallen from the learned BARON deserve the most careful consideration. The crime of murder, it would appear, is on the increase in this county; and awful to relate, one case is that of the destruction of two little children, by its unnatural and viscious parent, for the pur pose, it would seem, of drawing some money from a burial club ! Upon this - occurrence Baron ALDERSON, commented at some length ; and cer tainly his observations and suggestions not only merit, but imperatively demand the highest and fullest consideration of the British Legislature. We have no objection to Burial Clubs and Friendly Societies, when conducted upon proper principles and based upon scientific laws ; but we are of opinion that something should be done by the authorities to prevent visciously-disposed individuals from having an incentive thereby of them to the most fearful and abominable of crimes.'

From the - evidence and statement of Mr. Almond, who appeared for the plaintiff, it appeared that the defendant entered into possession of a house belong ing to the plaintiff, at Eyerton, on the Ist of last June, and that he left it in July. He alleged that he had not been accepted as tenant, and that he had merely been let in by the outgoing tenant, until such time as his offer had been accepted. He accordingly contended that he was not liable for the rent. Verdict for the plaintiff.

OF SHARE EOLD:ER S_A T MANCH ESTE R.—YESTERDAY. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) Yesterday afternoon an extraordinary general meeting of tie proprietors of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincoln mire railway, was held at the Corn Exchange; to receive tie report of the committee of consultation, appointed by tie shareholders at the adjourned haX-yearly meeting of the ompany, held on the Bth of June last. There was a nu nerous attendance of shareholders, and the chair was occu- Tied by `he,. Right Honourable tha Earl of YARBOROUGH, chairman of the company. The SECRETARY having read the advertisement by which she meeting was convened, The noble CHAIRMAN said, it would be in the recollec tion of the shareholders that when the committee of con siltation was appointed, a wish was ex,preised that the shareholders should have sufficient time to consider it before ioming to any decision respecting it, and an intimation was riven that three weeks would be long enough for the purpose. Chat time having elapsed since the report was sent to the )roprietors, it was for the meeting to decide whether the •eport of the committee should be read in extenso. There was a general expression of feeling that the report Ihould be read. SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY—ADJOURNED MEETING', YESTERDAY. • The adjourned meeting of `the shareholders in this com pany took place yesterday, shortly, after 12 o'clock, at Hawkstone Hall, Waterloo-road. The meeting was very thin. Outhe motion of Mr. PUNCHER, seconded by Mr. AUSTIN. Mr. Sergeant Gaselee was called to the chair. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE (who was alone on the platform) stated that he had obtained the opinion of Sir Fitzroy Kelly and other eminent counstl, to the effect that the ad journment of the former meeting, on the dictation of Mr. Scott, was illegal, and it was on that account that the pre sent meeting had been called. A division had taken place in the direction, and five of the directors had retired, but although he agreed with the policy, he had not re signed. In the selection of your new directors you have to take care that proper persons representing the proprietory should be appointed. They had obtained two great vic tories against the extension principle, and it was for them to say whether that victory was to be fruitful or unfruitful. The learned gentleman 'then entered very fully into the question , of the extension of these lines, upon which previous speakers at former meetings spoke very fully, and were re ported very fully. Mr. ASHMORE wished to know how the officers of the company voted. Mr. sergeant GASELEE : The engineers gave 95 votes against, and in all, the officers gave 180 votes against you. The motion for the dissolution of the meeting was then agreed to, and Mr. Snell was appointed to the chair. The meeting being constituted into a meeting of the shareholders of the South Western railway, A resolution to support proper candidates for directors was then put and carried, and the meeting adjourned. PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM COMPANY. The annual meeting of this company was held yesterday, when a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum was declared, and the report and accounts adopted. From the report it appears that they claim to have saved the public by their 8 years' contract £621,200 comparing the cost of working now with the period at which the contract was made. The double performance of the trunk communication between Calcutta and Southampton caused a necessity for extra coals to 111,000 tons. The cost of fixing the com company's staffs at the. various stations was £100,009, and of maintaining it £70,000 tons. The whole fleet of the company has 65,185 tons tonnage, and 15,610 horse-power. No casualties of importance having happened to the com pany's fleet durinc , the period embraced in this report, the directors consider that a payment out of the premium charged, of £1 per old share, and 10s. per new share, may be made to the proprietors early in the ensuing year, as on former occasions.

THE .MOILNING ADVERTISER. - The Times newspaper lately published a police report, from which it ap peared that the plaintiff had ill-treated his wife , and five days afterwards a gentleman connected with the Advertiser, com mented unfavourably upon the conduct of the plaintiff as described in the report. Subsequently, however, the editor of the paper discovered that there•was nothing which reflected on the plaintiff, and that he had been a kind and affectionate hus band, but that the wife had been labouring under delusions. Under these circumstances, Sir F. Thesiger apologised, which was accepted, and a verdict for 405., with costs, re turned: ST.
