POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-SITURDAT. LIVERPOOL. BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD. ARS kITTP:G TIIR POLlCE.—Barney Murphy, a gigantic looking young fellow, was charged with having assaulted police officer 169, in Pownall-Fquare. The officer was taking a prisoner to Bride well, when he was attacked by Murphy, who rescued the prisoner and assaulted the constable. He was fined £2, or to be imprisoned for two months. TEE ELEVENTH COsf➢IANDEZNT " TAKa CARZ OF Yooasm , "—James Grace, a rather elderly person, w s charged with being drunk and disorderly in Great Howard street. The prisoner sail he give himself up to the police for safe keeping. Mr. Mansfield asked him how that was ? Prisoner : I had a long way to go home, and being drunk, I thought I would not be safe, so I took care of myself by handing myself over to the police (Laughter.) Mr. Mansfield : Whit mere you afraid of ? Prisoner: I was afraid of falling into the canal, or into bad hand•, which would be just as bad. (Laughter.) Mr. Mansfield : Being so cautious when you were drunk. why were you not prudent enough to keep sober ? Prisoner : I can't tell that, sir ; but I considered I was performing an act of justice to myself by going to Bridewell for the night ; it was merely justice to a yecf, that's all. (Laughs -r.) Mr. Mansfield—Well, go now, and be more cautious in future. - FORGED FIVE POUND NOTES —For some time past paragraphs have been g ing the rounds of the papers, cautioning the public against forged five pound notes, many of such being in circulation. The f llowing case came before the court on Saturday, which may throw some light on the subject, and perhaps lead to the discovery of the forgers :—James Caddock, described as a bailiff, and also the keeper of an improper house in Spitalfields, was brought up by detective officer Smith, on a charge of having passed a forged five pound note to Mr. M'Grath, a publican in Whitechapel. Mr. Bluck was fur the prisoner. Smith said he arres•ed the prisoner on the charge, when he said he had the note a long time, and that, on going across the water one day, he showed it to a Mr. Harri'on, who Enid it was good enough. Cross-examined by Mr. Bluck :He said he got the noes from a man named Jones. Mr. Bluck: Weil, and don't you think he did get it so ? Smith: I can't tell that, but I know I saw Jones tried at the Chester assizes Mr. Cluck: Think you, I did not ask you that. Smith : No, sir, but I tell it to you for information ; and more than that. sir, I k now the prisoner and Jones to be coastant companions, and I know Jones to be a thief. Mr. M ans fi e ld : What was Jones tried at Chester for? Smith : for a knock-down robbery at Birkenhead. I went to the prisoner's wife to make inquiry about the note, and she said he had had it for a long time, and that he was a d--fool to pay it away. Mr. Bluck : This is not evidence, and I object to it. Mr. M'Grath, stated that on Tuesday week he changed the note for the prisoner, o ho paid him a small debt, and had some small thing besides. He knew the prisoner as calling at his shop now and then, and living in Spitalfields. The prisoner put his name on the note, which witness subse quently paid away, and it turned cut to be a forgery. The note is marked, dated, and numbered as follows—" I W No. 8.3,997, 13th August, 1857." It bore an excellent resemble! ce of the signing clerks signature, such as to deceive almost the best judge It bore the water mark on the fron.., but faintly on the back, and the paper, on close inspection, is coarser than the genuine note, yet on the whole,Bo per cent. of the ordinary public.would not hesitate to receive it as a good note. No doubt, hundreds of such notes have been struck off the same plate, and the public • should make a memorandum of the particulars, so as to detect such if offered. Mr. WO-nth was cross-examined by Mr. Bluck, who said he knew the prisoner to live in a house where young women were kept. Mr. Bluck :. Is not keeping girls a profitable business ? Witness : I don't know whether it is or not. Mr. Black : Would he not be likely to have a five pound note ? Witness : I don't know. Mr. Mansfield : Is the prisoner a bailiff of the County Court ? Mr. Clough : No, sir ; he is a bailiff for collecting rents and the like. There are a lot of low auctioneers and low landlords who employ such fellows as this, who are not responsible nor accountable to any authority under the civil law for their acts, and I think it is very improper to have such men going into houses to distrain goods, as they are not accountable for their acts. Mr. Mansfield said he did not think the case could be dealt with in that court. It was not shown that the prisoner got the note under suspicions circumstances from a suspicious person, and he was the'efore f opinion that the man must be discharged. Mr. Black said he was prepared to show that the prisoner could change twenty £5 notes. Mr. Mansfield said he would not place any confidence in that, as the greateet villains and scoundrels in England would be able to do the same thing. The prisoner was discharged. FALSE CHARGE. SOMETHING FOR THE LAW I ERS.—TWO young women, named Margaret M'Guinness and Ellen Conway were charged wi h having stolen a gold watch, from a person named Samuel Ryan. olcer 546 s lid the prisoners were given in charge for stealing a gold watch and guard from Samuel Ryan, but it appeared that they had not stolen the p operty, but that the man himself left it in the house of Mr. Owen, publican, Chapel-street, whilst he was drunk. Where is he now ? Officer :he would not appear. Mr. Clough: what is he ? A shipping agent in Regent-road. Mr. Clough : Have you the watch here ? No sir. Mr. Clough : keep it for the present. Mr. Mansfield : are these young women known here? The governor of the bridewell replied they were not known. Mr. Mansfield : It is most scandalous to have these youog women locked up all night on such a false charge. Discharge them. CO2.ONER'S COURT. The Coroner held the following inquests on Saturday. On the body of .Hugh Anderson, 25 years old, who was engaged at the New Albany Buildings, Old Hall-street, as a plasterer. On Friday morning he fell a height of 23 feet, and was killed. The unfortunate affair was an accident, and the jury found a verdict accordingly. On the b )dy of Thomas PreEcott, 23 years of age, who was the rcaster of a flat on the Canal, and whose body was found in the Trafalgar Dock. The last time the deceased was seen, was on b, and his fiat, and at the time he was a little in drirk. The evidence went to show that he was found drowLed, and the jury returned a verdict accord ingly.

A large quan ity of wheat and barley was represented by sack, bushel, peck, and smaller samples, and a considerable amount of business was transacted, wheat making from 50a. to Cs. per quarter; barley from 38a. to 48zi. per quarter. The promoters of the Corn Exchange are very sanguine of success, a large number of farmers and dealers having announced their intention to support it. In the afternoon about 70 gentlemen sat down to the commemorative dinner, which was sena - I in a large teat erected in froLt of the Railway Hotel, and about the same number, who could not get into the tent, dined at tho Level.

LORD Exisxores F e ,NOMY.—Another well known joke of Lard E lsnborough's was that, when the income Lx was imposed, Lord Kenyon laid down his pocket handk,r chief. According to other authorities, he never had but one ; h's property in which was open to dispute, as he foasid it iu the pocket of a second-hand dress waistcoat which he bought of Lord Stormont's valet the first time he had occasion to attend a levee. They add that, when this was worn out, it was never replaced, and that it was his wont to wipe his fingers on his breeches, which may help to account for their gradual change of xolour, and the diffi culty of deciding Whether the original material was leather or velvet. By an analogous process, the primitive blatk of the coat wee converted into a sober green. The result of an economic system thus rigidly enforced was, that he was enabled to leave mo e than £250,000 to his family, in addition to the name which Lord Campbell ,11,:s vainly endeavoured to depreciate.—Edinburgh Review, new number, At LEWIS & PANT'S, 1:W0E1e-street. BOTS are CLOTHED f rom Coll the Agee of Six to Twenty Year THE SOUTH-WESTERN COMPANY'S STEAMER WONDER AND THE LAZE STORM. For the following partieblars of the frightful storm encountered on Wednesday and Thursday by the South- Western Company's steamer Wonder, on her passage from Weymouth to Guernsey, we (Guernsey Comet) are indebted to a passenger : The Wonder put to sea about 8 o'clock in the morning of Wednesday last, a stiff bra Eze from the southward then blowing, and the barometer lo.vering. At n'ue the wind increased to a gale, with a very heavy sea running; and the wind beirg dead a-heal, the vessel shipped many very heavy seas, but behaved rernark:ihy well. At 10 the weather was getting very thick, and the gale increasing more and more, and the sky ind'etting nothing ease than a hurricane, the bearing of Portland was taken, the log hov a and every precaution adapted by Captain Clement. Towards half-pas: 10 the sea became so heavy that the yes el shipped a great deal of water ; anl, the barometer contiauieg to fall, and there being rap chance of re aching Aldern before night, the captain wisely determined on putting back for Portland ;grids. Here we arrived in safety, and brought up c:ose to the breakwater with the small bower anchor and ebout 50 fathoms of chain. On returning to Portland we saw several casks floating on the water. They were etch as generall contain wine or brandy, and supposed to be a portion of the cargo of a vess-1 that went down in the Race of Portland, when all hands perished. During the whole of Wednesday it continued t blew a buricane. In the course of the night the steamer drove, when the best bower was let go, and was again brought to close to the guardship Meander. Oa Thursday morning, the weather having moderated, Capt Cement, thought it adviseb!e to weigh his ncbors aad move further in-shore out of the way of the guardship ; but, on making the a tempt, it was found impossible to weigh the best b .ever, the anchor having, it was suppose 3, ho ked the guardship's moorings. Ultima'ely, the chain was slipped, and the vessel moved further in; bat, unfo.tunatly, iu surging the chain around the windlass, the second mate's hands were sadly mutilated, the tops of two fiageis merely hangirg by the tendons. The poor fellow was taken on shore at the small town of Chiz 'l, where he was properly attended to. He will not be able to resume bis duties far a long time, which will be a great loss to the ship, he being a ve:y good sailor. On landing at Chizsl it was distressing to witness the effects of the storm. The town was deserted by the inhabitants, wh i had been compelled to leave in consequence of the sea having inundated their dwellings and filled the lower floors with shingle and sand. In the afternoon of Thursday the wind lulled, and an anchor was brought free' the shore to rep:ace the one that had been slipped. Towards evening the baro meter began to ascend, the skies became c:earer, and the wind drew round to the north-we=t, with occasional E gnalle of rain. At eleven o'c'ock the Wonder weighed anchor, and proceeded on her voyage. At about midnight the wind again rose, the glass sank, and a terrific gale cam.t on. The sea was tremendous—so much so, that when in sight of the Caskets, at about half-pas: three a.m. on Friday, it broke above the steamer's mast-head. The captain, mate, and Weymouth pilot, secured themselves by life-ropes extending from one side of the ship to the other ; the two men at the wheel beirg also secured wi'h strong ropes passed round their waists and fastened to ring-bol:s at the stanchions, fearing that every moment one or the other would be washed away. Thee, with the sea making a fair breach over the vessel, and the water waling from stem to stern, did the gallant mariners keep the deck, drenched with rein and sea-water; Captain Clement g . ving his orders with that precision which characterises him among the best of seamen, and his mate and crew always ready to execute them. ''wins been taken through these many perils by her intrepid commander, the Wonder safely arrived in Guernsey Roasts at ten minutes before seven on Friday morning, without basing carried away a single thing during one of the most stormy passages on record. Too much praise cannot be given to Cautain Clement for his manly and successful exertions duriig this perilous voyage. WRECK ON THE BARBER SAND. LOSS OF TWENTY-FIVE LIVES. [From the Norfolk, News] YARMOUTH, FRIO AY. We have just been made acquainted with the fact that last night (Thursday), about midnight, during a tremendous sea and heavy gale, which had been blowing all the day. but greatly increased towards night, a full rigged vessel of 700 or 800 tons, supposed to belong to Newcastle, and laden with coals boand for the East Indies, went on the Barber Said, and was en irely broken up. The Caistor beaahmen succeeds I in saving one man (the mate) who was washed up on a piece of wreck in a very exhausted state, and considerably bruised, and from whom they were just able to learn that he was the only oae out of twenty six who was saved. The bodies of two men and that of a female (the captain's wife) were washed ashore, and are awaiting an inquest, which will take place on Saturday. Another vessel went down the same night, not far from the same spot, and it is feared that all hands perished. We have also received the following from Yarmouth : [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPII ) '• YARMOUTH, Friday Morning. "A sh p —the Ontario, of Shields—was wrecked last night on the Cockle Sand .

POPPING TMB QUISTION.—Some young people of b nth sexes, w.ra a few days ago ssrolling through one of the delightful lanes in the environs of our town, when one of the company, a riling man, who is presumed to be secretly attached to ens of the young ladies of the party, plucked one of the thistle heads, and with buxom intrepidity be, to pop the question in right earn- st, perhaps intending a reality to grow out of the popular joking supers:iticu. "Come," said he, " shall I tell you how long it will be More you (us) will get married?" A blush, of course, arose, and an unmeaning reply, of " No, thank you ; " but, on the second appeal, a resolute reply, worthy of the fair damsel, followed, the truthfulness of which none will doubt,—" Well, then, if you will, please blow hard P Torquay Paper.

EXTRAORDINARY FRZAK OF A Cow —The vicinity of the " Town Clock" and Market-arcade was snddenty startled from the mere than eranary quiet and propriety it observed on Saturday last, on the occasion of the faneral obsequies of the late Earl Fiizhartlinge, by a singular and almost unexampled occurrence in the history of le bceuf Bras. About two o'clock in the after noon, as a couple of fat cows, belonging- to Mr. Page, butcher, were being driven up the High-street, one of them made a precipit a t e bolt into the shop of M r . Witherspoon, draper, next door to the Market-arcade. Mr. Witherspoon's daughter was behind the counter at the time, and two of the younger children were at the back part of the shop, which is very narrow. The animal walked deliberately to the further end of the sh-p, where its progress was arres - ed by a large counter running across, and on which was piled a large quantity of fl,mnels, theetin!zs, &c., and behind which was a window, looking into the back g arden. Find ing no other mode of egress, the cow gut her fore feet on the counter, and pushing down the arttc'es piled thereon, she took a flying leep through the back winuow, smashing the lower frame to pitees and breaking down a heavy iron balcony outside, and thence knocking down ano.her iron fence, she made her way into thr; garden, having, as may be supposed, severely injured herself in the extreordicary adventure. The escape of Mr. Witherspoon'e two children was quite providen'ial. One of them was stauding . at a small desk where there was but just room for illy unwieldy animal to push by, while the other had nctnally in her fright crouched down beneath the counter oTer which the creature scrambled in her frantic efforts to reach the window, and, s t range t o say, b at h o f th e m ezcaped injury. —Cheltenham Examiner.

At the Southwark police-court, on Friday - , Mary Aria call, an old woman, the keeper of a registered lodging house, 271, Kent-street,was summoned under the Common Lodging House Act, fur unlawfully allowing an admixture of the sexes in one sleeping room contrary to the Act of Par liament. Sergeant Saunders, 54 A, said that he was ap pointed by the Commissioners of Police to inspect common lodging houses in the district of this murk, to see that the owners properly carry out the provisions of the Act of Par liament. The defendant was the keeper of a registered lodging-house, at 271, Kent-street, and was perfectly well acquainted with the rules, a copy of which she had been furnished with. Regulation No. 8 set forth that there should not be an admixture of sexes under certain restrictions—that is where they are adults, unmarried, and not of one family. A. fortnight ago he visited her house, and in one room he saw two beds. In one bed were two young females and in the other bed a man and a woman, strangers to each other. There was also another room in which men and women were sleeping promiscuously. He told the defendant of the circumstances, and she said she thought the man and woman were married. She never asked them. Besides that she said there was a partition in the room. Witness told his worship that there was a partition, but that it was not more than three feet high. In answer to the charge the defendant said that the two young women in the one bed were regular lodgers, and the other female broug'tt home a male acquaintance. Mr. Combs told her that her defence was quite sufficient to corroborate the testimony of the officer. He inquired whether she had ever been summoned before ? Inspector Dodd, the officer hsving charge of the lodging houses under the Act of Parliament, here raged that the had been summoned four times and had been convicted ; but it was of no use, she defied this authority, and conducted her house in a very immoral way Mr. Combe told her she must be taught to obey the law, and as all the other Convictions had done no good, he should fine her £5 and costs, and in default of payment she must be committed for two months in the House of Correction at Wands worth. THH COAL-WHIPPERS OF LONDON. At the Mansion Howie, on Friday, the Rev. W. Weldon Champneys, rector of Whitechapel, and the Rev. T. J. Rowtell, of St. Peter's, Stepney, waited on the Lord Mayor, with a crowd of half-starved coal-whippers, to make an application respecting the so-called strike of the coal whippers. Mr. Champneys said, that he, Mr. Rowsell, and other clergymen had taken great interest in behalf of the coal whippers, who are now out of work, in consequence of a misnnderstanditg on the part of the coal owners. It is erroneous to suppose that the coal whippers have struck; they have not done so. His reverend friend, who was fully acquainted with the facts, would now state them to his lordship, _ _ The Rev Mr. BDwsell said that the coal-whippers now out of work were most industrious men, who had been for years perfectly contented with their work, and nineteen out of twenty of them wish to go on in the same way under Mr. Gladstone's act, under which the wages were paid at an office ; and although, with hard work, they could earn only 14s. or 15s a week, they were perfec ly satisled. under another system, the wages were paid at a public house, and, after deducting for drink, vary little was left to be brought home to a man's wife and chi'dren. When Mr. Gladst ne's act expired Mr. Lowe let it drop, as he did not like the precedent of interfering between labourers and employers, and he felt sure that the spirit of the act would be respected by the coal owners. But paying at public houses had again sprung up, and, in a case which occurred a fortnight ago, when a poor man had earned 10s. by work ing hard for three days, 73. 41 were deducted at the public house for drink The men require 7d. or 81. a ton, bat only 61. is offered, at which price they could not live. He had seen several caves of severe distress. In one case, where a man had five children, none of them had shoes, and the poor mother lay ill with a baby by her side. The poor men had not struck at all. The men could only starve at 6d. per ton, and the coal ownes had given them 7d. or Bd. a ton. The grievance is that, although they obtained a committee in the HOURS of Lords, they failed in the Com mons Under the public•hou.se system the men would be starved. The object is to revive Mr. Gladstone's act. The Lord Mayor : The Corpora ion of London did all in their power to get that act renewed ; but the coal owners got the ear of Mr. Lowe, and the bill was lost, and the system of paying wages in public houses was revived. I shall be happy if you can point out any way in which I can be of service. Mr. Rowsell : If you arbitrate, the men are willing to work according to whatever you may decide. John Foley, a coal-whipper, corroborated Mr. Rowsell's statement., and said that the men hal offered to arbitrate, but the coal owners refused The Lord Mayor : How many days are you employed on an average Fuley : Ten days out of thirty is considered go Al employment. Some who have acquaintances in the docks get work there occasionally ; but we are generally walking about from morning to niet, for fear of losing a chance. At 6 , 1. per ton we cannot earn more than 2s. sd. per day, of which we pay 2d. for water dues. The Lord Mayor : It is one of the hardest cases I have ever met with. The coal-whippers are a body of men who deserve well of the city, and if you tell me how to serve you I will do it. - After t• n 3 eonv_rsaticn it was arranged fiat the Lord Mayor should see the Chairman of the Coal-whippers' Committee, and endeavour to bring the dispute to &termi nation in favour of the men, and communicate the result in a day or two. The deputation then thanked his lordship and retired. At LEWIS & COMPANY'S, Renehigh-street. BOYS are CLO HIED from the Aga of Six to Twsety Years. Vice-Admiral Sir M.

There was up eards of 5001. received,last year f troop', which is an excep`ional traffic, and the fading off at the Aldershott station still c nitietns from the fact that there is a very small number of troops in the camp. This is to be imme diately refilled, and we understand that Were 'Christmas there will be between 18,000 and 20.000 troops of all sorts again at the Aidershott camp, which alone will make a weekly ircrease of ,5001. to 6001.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGIL-0 2 Saturday morning information was received of the following frightful accident, which took place at a late hour the previous eight upon Blicktriars-bridge. It appears that a car`, blonging to Mr. Lencefield, a butcher, residing at Camherw el, was being driven over the bridge on its way home from the cattle ma , kat, when another cart, coming at a rapid rate in the ether direction, came into violent collision with Mr. Lancifield's vehic'e, which was com pletely thrown over.

Exclusively for CT.OTHING BOYS front Six to Twenty Yenra, LEWIS 8s COMPANY, ttikrielagteestar,t THE DUKE OF RUTIAND ON THE INDIAN MUTINIES. A meeting of the county of Leicester, convened by the High Sheriff, in aid of the fund for the relief of the sufferers from Indian mutinies, was held in the Nisi Prius Court of Leicester on Thursday. The attendance, though not very numerous, comprised the leading noblemen and gentlemen of the county and a considerable number of the clergy. The High Sheriff (M. E. C. Middleton) presided ; and there was also present — his Grace the Duke of Rutland, Earl Howe, Lord Berners, Viscount Curzon, M.P., Mr. C. W. Packe, M.P., Sir H. Raiford ('ate M.P., for South Leicestershire), Mr. E. B. Farnbam, M.P., Colonel Ring, Sir A. Hazelrigg, Major Powis, S r J. Fowke, bir F. Palmer, Captain Knight, Sec. The High Sheriff, in opening the p:oaeedings, said, he had convened the meeting in puisu ince of a requisition which ho had received from a numerous body of the principal residents of the county. The object of the meeting was to sympathize with the sufferers from the recent Indian revolt, and to enable the people of Leicestershire to express their abhorence of the cruelties which had been practised upon their fellow country. men, women, and children. He felt persuaded that the county would not permit such atrocities to pass by without publicly declaring the feeling with which they regarded them and their warm sympathy with the unfortunate sufferers, (Elear, hex.) He begged to call upon his Grace the Duke of Rutland to propose the first resolution. The Duke of Rutland said,—Mr. High Sheriff and gentle men, as you have done me the honour of asking ma to move the first resolution upon this occasion, it gives me the greatest gratification to respond to the call. lam quite sure that it will not be necessary for me to trt,uble the meeting with any lengthened remarks to induce you cordially to pass this resolu tion. The resolution itself has a double object. In the first place it calls upon us to express our warm sympathy with our fellow brethren who have suffered in the East from the muti neers who have lately murdered women and children ; and, in the second pace, it call s upon us to add our subscriptions to those of the people of the borough of Leicester, in the hope that by the relief which we thins afford we may iu some measure mitigate the bodily sufferings of our countrymen, though un fortunately it will be impossible for us to alleviate their mental sufferings. (Hear, hear.) Horrors equal to those which have been enacted in India no ale of the world has, I believe, ever witnessed. (Hear, hear.) This is not the time to consider what provocation the mutineers may have received, nor is it the time to consider whether the East India Directors have done their duty, or whether the Government at home have done theirs, as our olject now is merely to express our sympathy with the sufferers in the East. But one thing is certain and is agreel upon by almost every man and woman in England— namely, that henceforward we must declare in a more oprn manner and in the ftce of day our Christianity. (Cheers.) Unfortunately in India we have gone to the other extreme, and we have endeavoured to coaciliate men who have not had tbe feelings of men, and who have returned our kindness and our attempts to conciliate them by acts of treachery and murder. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, this mutiny must be put down. I hope that it may be done very shortly, but whether it is crushed in a month, or in a year, or in ten years, this country must re-assert her dominions. It is not only necessary for our own dignity, but it is a great moral du y, a right that we must perform, and I am quite certain that every Englishman will do his utmost to effect this great national obj et. (Cheers.) lam sure that every man now present will do all in his power to furnish recruits both for the militia and for the regular army, and I am happy to say that the militia of this county, under my excellent friend near me 'Colonel Xing) has nearly received its full comple ment of men. (Cheers.) His Royal Highness the Commander in-Chief stated yesterday at Sheffield that already he considered the turning point in the mutiny to have been giined, and I trust that by the next mail we shall hear that the revolt is entirely crushed. net vlcaory will be ours those who have seen the gallantry of the small handful of troops we have had in In lia rip to this time cannot, I think, for a moment doubt, but when victory is achieved let me express a hope that we shall not in the flush of victory allow our passions to carry us away and seek for vengeance, even upon Indian Sepoys. (Ilear, h ar.) Justice, and severe justice must be done; but let us discriminate between the guilty and the innocent. Let not the page of history that shall record the heroism of our countrymen and women in the East—that shall record the gallantry of a Havelock and of a Nicholson against innumerable hosts, have also to add that, when victory was ours, we condosended to use the weapons that had been- wielded by such dastardly hands. (Loud cheers.) Again I say let justice los dono r but let it be a discriminating justice. Let an example be made of the murderers, to show them, and to show the world,, that England's Jaws ate not to be violated with impunity,. but that death— and an ignominous death—is reserved for those who show that they have- no principles of humanity and no feelings either of common kindness or of Christianity. (Cheers.) In conclusion I beg to move the following resoltrion :—" That this meeting views with the greatest abhorrence the barbarous and inhuman cruelties inflicted on their fellow countrymen, on women and on children; by tho mutineers in India, and desires to give expression to the warm sympathy which it feels for those who have undergone such brutal' and unparalleled sufferings.!' Earl V Howe, in seconding tho resolution, said, his noble friend had so admirably expressed all that he (Earl Howe) could say upon this distressing sulaj..et that it would be useless for him to- occupy the time of the meeting for more than a single moment. Circumstances had happened in his own family which had made him more susceptible, probably, than any other gentleman present of tho dreadful nature of the atrocities committed in India. ,He should, however, only harrow their feelings if he were to attempt to describe-them, for they were of such an atrocious descrip ion that even the public press had abstained from entering into details. All he would say was, that they were unexampled i❑ the history of the world, and he sincerely trusted„ thOugh agreeing with his noble friend that there-should be no revenge in the punishment awarded, that the sword of justice in which the red hand should yet be visible should be severely laid upon.theoffmders. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that all who•beard him would a free with him that in these times no p,litical feeling, no prejudice of any kind should interfere with the support which they gave to Her Majesty's Goveinne;nt in sending out the last man that could be found in the country to restore the brightest gem to be Lund in Her Majesty's diadem, (Lend cheers.) He believed in his conscience that every exettion had been male to forward our gallant soldiers to j-Jin their heroic countrymen in India. He felt deeply grateful to the Government for those exertions, and he wished to impr. ss upon the people generally that it was their duty to support the G..}vernme.nt by every means in their power in lestoring tranouility. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put by the High Sheriff and unanimou•ly agreed to. Lord Berners said he was anxious before proposing the next resolution to thank the High Sheriff for the prompt manner in which ho had answered the requisition to convene the present meeting, and to thank also the noble Duke for having originated it. Though that court was only thinly filled, he wee. well acquainted with the opinion entertained gen rally throughout the county, and ho know that in no county could there be a more anxious desire to express sympathy for the sufferers and abhorrence at the abominable outrages which had been perpe trated in India. (Hear, hear.) He believed, however, that ho justly attributed the thin attendance in that hall to the fact that a subscription had already originated in the town which had been contributed to by numerous gentlemen residing in the county. Ho could not but regret that the borough had taken the lead in the matter, not front any wish not to co-operate with the town, because he thought it desirable that upon all fitting occasions the county and borough should go hand in hand in the proesotion of every hing good, charitable, and for the welfare of the community at large ; but he regretted that, in the first instance, a public meeting had not been called on so important an occasion as this by the highest authority in the county,—the Queen's represeet&tive, —in ender that their proceedings might hive paresken as much as possible of a national character. (Bear, hear.) He thought that a question, and a very serious question might be asked—namely, had we as a Christian nation done that which a Christian nation ought to have done ? Had the Government of India acted with proper vigour as well as discretion ? To use the words of one of the most eloquent prelates of the present day, had not our whole policy been one of timidity? Had we dents our duty? Instead of acknow ledging that authority by which kings reign and princes govern, had we not almost appeared to have been ashamed of our Christian profession, and to have truckled and given way to the cursed practice of expediency rather than acting upon principle? (Hear, hea%) Had we not yielded where we ought to have remained firm? Was it true that a Sepoy had been turned out of his regiment, not in obedience to the desire of his co religionists, and not by the wish of his fellow-countrymen, but by the decision of a Christian Government, solely because, by the blessiee of God, he had been converted to Christianity ? (Hear.) Was it also hue that Sir Peregrine Maitland was dis missed from his commas). in the army in the East because he did not order Christian soldiers to fire a salute in honour of an idol's car? The time was come when that system of misrule and timidity of which so much had been latterly said by the public press must be put an end to. He held that, as a Christian nation, a great responsibility attached to us as to the way in which we discharged our duties. In future these should be no timidity, but we ought to be bold in declaring the faith that we held ; and, although he would ❑ot have any man suffer for bis religion, he thought we ought to he always ready to proclaim the faith which we professed. (Cheers.) Ho would not trouble the meeting with any further remarks except to bring under their notice an observation which bed been made to him since he entered that court by a gen 1 area who would be known to most of those present from the capacity which he had filed as distributor of the funds collected in aid of the sufferers in the Crimean campaign—Major Powys.. That gentleman suggested that in the distribution of funds of tlis nature a recommendatio❑ should be sent to the commi'tee in London to reserve a large portion of the funds for the widows and orphans of the soldiers who lost their lives. (Hear, hear.) He (Lord Bensons) believed that at this moment the widows and orphans left totally unprovided for in consequence of the mutiny numbered no less than 40,000, it, iu transmitting the contributions from the county of Leicester, a suggestion was made to the central committee to set apart a portion for the widows and orphans ho was convinced that it would be attended to, and that it would receive the cordial approval of the entire country. (Cheers.) Ho begged, in conclusion, to move the following resolution :—" That, with a view to the alleviation of the misery and destitution in which so many of our fellow-subjects in India have been involved, a subscriptio❑ should be invited throughout the country." Mr. Farnham, M.P., briefly seconded the resolution, which wai unanimously agreed to. Mr. Packe, M.P , moved the next resolution :—" That the several banks in Leicester and the different market towns of the county be requested to receive subscriptions in aid of the object, to be forwarded, in addition to those already collected in the town, to the central committee in London." The hon. gentlema❑ said.he did not intend to enlarge, after the addresses which had been delivered, upon the disastrous nature of the calamity which had overtaken us in our Indian empire. The details of that calamity were far too painful and heart rendi❑g for him to wish to enter into them; though living, as he did, occasionally in the neighbourhood of the port whore the greater part of the sufferers who survived were brought, on returning from India, ho felt bou❑d to say that the stories of mutilation and dreadful suffering which had occupied the columns of the newspapers were not exaggerated. He appre hended that the present meeting was not altogether for the collection of money, inasmuch as that had already been done to a considerable extent in the county, but rather to enable the residents of the county to give expression to th, it opinions and feelings. At the same time he trusted that even in a pecuniary point of view the meeting would not be with• out success, but that it would ho the means of considerably augmenting the fund. He hoped that the day was not far distant waen this unfortunate revolt would be crushed, and that we should never again be called upon to express our abhorrence of cruelties revolting to• human nature and unparelleled in the history of this great country. (Hear, hear.) It was personally a source of great gratification that in the plates of the different churches in which collections had been made the widow's mite had stood prominent. He sincerely trusted that every man in that county who was a husband and the father of a family would contribute, even if his contribution was only a penny, as a thank-offering to a beneficent Providence that he and his family had been spared the dreadful cruelties and suffering which had been inflicted upon our fellow- Christiana in India. Mr. Hodgson, a county magistrate, briefly seconded the resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. The Duke of Rutland then moved a vote of thanks to• the High Sheriff for his kindness in having convened the meeting, and for having presided over it. Earl Howe seconded the .resolution, which was carried by acclamation, and the High Sheriff having briefly responded, the proceedings t erm us' ed.

TO THE EDITOR Or THE NORTHERN TIMM have a trick of taking up an old news paper now and then of an evening, to read the speeches of the municipal senate. The advaltatze is, that I am able to measure, by their fruits, speculations that were put forward with the bright visions of hope, and often, I am sorry to say, with concealed views of private interest or egotism. In one of these speeches I was struck by the classical allusion of the Ci3ero- of the Council to , Scylla and Charybdis. I then remembered that Scylla was the daughter of Typhcn. " Typhon, one of the giants (a sort of Nena Sahib), rose against the gods, and played the devil for a time, but jupiter at last put Typhon to flight with his thunderbolts, and crushed him under Mount 'Etna." I maintain that, instead of Mount 'Etna, it was Rivington Pelik, vulgarly called Pike. " Snylla (whom we may more properly call Miss Pik , O, was greatly loved by Glaucus (our Cicero), one of the deities of the sea and of the Mersey. Scylla at first scorned the addresses of Glaucus, and the god, to render her more propitious, applied to Circe (our Mrs. Spencer): whose knowledge of herbs and incantations was universally admired. Circe no sooner saw him than she became enamoured of him (how could she help it r) and instead of giving him the required assistance, she attempted to make him forget Scylla, but in vain. To punish her rival, Circe poured the juice of some poisonous herbs (bog-wash) into the waters where Scylla bathed at (Rivington), and no sooner had the nymph bathed there, than she found every part of her body below the waist changed into frightful monsters. Terrified at the metamorphosis, she plunged into the waves (glinglez irk reservoir), and was turned into a whirlpool." Our Glaucus was not more fortunate when he approached Charybdis, " a dangerous pool (Wallesey Pbol) on the coast of Cheshire. It is supposed that Charyb dis was an avaricious woman, who stole the oxen of Hercules (Hercules's dues, no doubt), for which theft she was struck with thunder by Jupiter, and changed into a whirlpool. The name of Charybdis was properly bestowed on mistresses who repay affection and tenderness with ingratitude.'' The retroach is great, for the Charybdis of our Glaucus not only picked the pockets of Glaucus and his friends of a million and a third (the: spoonies'), but jilted him into the bar gain.. The wooing of Scylla has cost Glaucus and his friends three-quarters of a million, and they say that another fourth will be lavished upon her. I hear that the new suitors of Charybdis have repaid Glaucus and Co , but I am pretty sure, from the character of Charybdis, that she will never return 1 per cent. to them The reader will now see that if the Cicero of the Council (sa.tis eloquentice sapuntios parum) is not lucky in his speculations he is felicitous in his allusions, " Ineidit in Scyllam qui vult vitare Charybdim." Charybdis past, in vain he ports his helm, For Scylla's whirlpool shall his barque o'erwhelm. —Yours, WHIFF. Tun Su?rono MURDER —No positive information has yet been obtained to thrlw any further light upon this mysterious affair. Dr: Alfred Trnylor has been actively employed in analysing the con'ents of the carpet bag. His report, we believe, will be ready' by Mond 4y next, when the adjourned inquest will be resumed. Mr. Painter, the divisional surgeon of police, still most firmly adheres to the opinion first formed by him, that the dsceassd man was assassinat-srl, afterwards mutilated, and then partly boiled. —.Lancet. TELE WATEELDO-BRIDGE TRAMDT.—Nothing has tran pired which enables the police to calculate with any confidence upon fi - Ain any s Intion of tha Waterloo bridge mystery. All the circumstance; upon which they bused their suspicions have gradually crumbled away, and they are now literally et a stand still. They hays visited many suspected parts of Loneoa and its suburbs; many houses have been ssarcheo,. others closely watched, and many persons have been seen with a view to identification, bat all to no avail. There appears to bo a pretty general belief amongst the most intelligent portion of the police force that all chances of discovery are at an end, except that which may arise from the confession of an accomplice who may be tempted by the reward offered by the government. - OPENING or TUX NORTHUMBERLAND Docx, TYNTE.—The Northumberland Doak was formally opened on Thurslay, at noon, by the Duke of Northumberland lacing the last stone. Preparations were made on August 9, 1853, and the works being sufficiently advanced, the foundatb n stone was laid by Joseph Cowen, Esq., Chairman of the Tyne Improvement Commissioners, on the 13th of September, 1855. The channel through the entrance basin, and the look, were opened on the 22nd of June, 1857, when tle contractors began to close in the ends of the embankments, and dues were commenced to be taken on the 31st of August last. The area of the dock i 3 fifty-five acres; there are two entrances; a tidal basin, 475 feet long, 175 feet wide, with a 70 feet entrance; a lock, 252 feet between the gates, and with a 52 feet entrance ; the lock is the same depth as the basin. The average height of water at high water neap tides on the sins of the entrances is iS fio: ; at high water spring tides, from 20 to 24 feet . The wo r k s h ave been executed under the superintendence of Mr. Plues, engineer-in -chief, London; resident engineer, Mr. John Pines, jun. The contractor is Mr. David Thornbury, Washingbonugb, near, Lincoln. During the progress of the works, not the least obstacle has bean presen el to the exportation of coals from the Hayhole shipping berths, in fact, the shipments of coals have been i .creased from 1,200,000 tons per annum to 1,400,000 tons per annum, (luting tin it construction. The tenoning collieries ship in the decks at present, and there is accommodation for more—Plummer's East Holywell, West Cramlington, Seghill, Cramlington, Seaton Delaval, Seaton Burn, Carr's Hartley, Baddle's West Hartley Nether Lon, and collieries on the El?yth and Tyne Rail eay. The cost of the docks is £200,000, which has been raised by the River Tyne Com missioners by bonds ; when principal and interest is paid off, the docks will be free from dues.—Newcastle Chronicle.

The Saturday Review, taking to task varii% writers on the Indian, question, remarks — " very men who, three years ago, clamoured at tl„ tail of the Times that the middle class of Enlglin't men were aliens in their own country, shut out from their just share in its government by' ; greedy exclusiveness of the a r i s t o cracy, are now sisting that the middle classes should be rernoveir the i.e from the only field in which they have essayed Whether te„ .l , capacity for administrative action.
