Continent ; 60s. Medi terranean; 50s. Manila ; 455. Mauritius. The Pacific trade is less active, the requirements having been well supplied. The rates to the West Indies and Brazils are weaker, as a large number of small vessels in London are seeking this employment. After a long spell of easterly winds we have at last a change, and ships are beginning to arrive, a large fleet being due rates to United States ports may be easier should a large fleet arrive simultaneeesly.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. In the LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE to-day a statement was made by which it appears that arrangements have just been concluded between the Bank of England and the Bank of France, whereby the former establishment places at the disposal of the latter two millions of gold, taking in return a like amount of silver. This statement produced rather a favourable effect, as the trans action will, for the time, obviate the necessity of a continuance of the large purchases of gold by the Bank of France which have so much disturbed our market. The Funds, after having declined k per cent. in morning, afterwards improved, and closed kto higher than yesterday. British Railway Shares opened very heavily, and prices generally declined, but an improvement of nearly 1 per cent. was established during the afternoon, the market closing firm, although not at its highest point. Canadas were steady. The market . closed at the following prices : THE FUNDS. Consols Money Account' (Dec.) . . .

The market opened -with firmumer, but in the afternoon it was rnmoured that a considerable amount of gold had been taken from the Bank, and the market at once showed heaviness. The quotation of consols at the close was only 1-16 per cent. below that of yesterday, but the tone was weaker. The share markets likewise closed with a doll applica tion. The amount of bar gold taken from the Bank of England to-day for exportation was £50,000. Its des tination was either the Bank of France or Spain. In addition about 50,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from it for transmission either wholly or in part to Portugal. /tumours were circulated that fresh withdrawals for aecount of the Bank of France will soon take place. It is understood that there was a special - sitting of the Bank court to-day, the rumour assigned .the position of the Bank of France as the subject of their deliberations. There is still an ample supply of money in the discount market, and the advanced rates now allowed having a decided tendency to attract idle capital, it is considered that but for the uneasiness which is occasioned by the renewed withdrawals of gold, the market would soon become easier. To-day the best short bills were iTgo tiated a fraction under the Bank rate, and in Mme quarters first-class six months' paper would have been taken at 6 to 61 per cent. The applications at the Bank of England were upon a moderate scale.—Daily News City Article. _ _ _ The business in the English funds has been unusually large, several heavy sales and- purchases having been effected. The latter predominated in amount, and included £lOO,OOO for the Court of Bankruptcy. Money, therefore, was more abundant, and the rate for advances upon Government securities was only 3 per cent. The expected telegram announcing the result of the delibera tion of the Bank of France is still delayed, but the impression is that some definite ' measure will soon be notified. A withdrawal of £50,000 in gold took place from the Bank to-day, but it was for Spain via France. A further sum of £150,000, it is thought, will be taken to-morrow. To France nothing can be sent, except artificially, since at the present exchange quotations the value of gold is greater in London than in Paris. Consols opened at the firm prices of yesterday, and subsequently showed considerable buoyancy, but a rise which occurred was ultimately lost. The demand for discount at the Bank was moderate. In the foreign exchanges this afternoon there was no alteration of importance, the late advance being in most cases fully maintained. Besides the £50,000 in gold withdrawn from the Bank for Spain, more than 40,000 Novereigns were taken for NdOepecoalirrntlyee.soaollTnlttihoeoek p railway market opened steadily, but a lower.—Ti meB leayadcAien,g.tfricosltme.cowkhs ic c h lo t s h e e d re i w to as p r e e r com The L°NDON COLONIAL PRODUCE MARKET to-sdayawr a : sTrhaethmerart w quiet. as flat, and prices rather easier ; of 6,730 bags Penang a sm all 4s p to ar 4 t 2a w 6 a d s sold at 3 5 s to 39 s 6 d for brown and 40s for yellow; 550 b , skets J ava Were part sold at 41s for low yellow.

The Teeth influence the form and expression of the countenance more than is generally imagined, and the finest face is disfigured if the Teeth are irregular, and a dis agreeable expression is produced. When the Teeth are good and regular, there is, when speaking or smiling, a fascination present which prevents further examination of the countenance. The most striking cases are those persons about the middle period of life who have lost their Teeth; for, how ever clear and perfect their utterance may have been before their less, it is impossible to regain it without sup plying the deficiency by means of Artificial Teeth.

THE RETURN OF THE PRINCE OF AATALES. " Altogether, what with wind, hail, and rain, it was not an encouraging cruise, especially as fresh provisions were out, even to the vegetables, and there was nothing to eat but the saltest of salt ship's stores."— Vide Times, Nov. 16. Our fears are at an end, the Prince of Wales Is safely landed on his native shore •, Though hail and rain and constant eastern gales Have rendered tedious his passage o'er. Meat travellers by sea confess that though . .. When starting on their voyage all are gay, But very soon they find things somewhat slow, And strive in vain to kill each dreary day. 'Tis a hard task when in a swift " Cunarder," But in a line-of-battle ship still harder. The mighty vessel pitches, jumps, and rolls, Day after day, and chiefly under sail; For such ship carries but small stock of coals, And so her screw is not of much avail. The only happy time in such a case Is when each weary passenger within her Around the cabin table takes his place, And soothes his spirits with a first-rate dinner, Those in the " Hero" found but small relief In dinners off sea biscuit and salt beef. The Prince bore his privations like a man, And never once was heard to find a fault; Though, as the Times' long description ran, The food was all " the saltest of the salt." Yet still, we are informed, on one occasion, Whets all at breakfast time assembled were, llia itoyal Highness made an observation Which raised a sigh from every bosom there; "On this dry biscuit," he was heard to mutter, "Oh, that we had a slice of KELLY'S BUTTER.'

NEWS OF THE DAY. Our readers have heard of a new French pamphlet, issued by Dentu of Paris, urging the Emperor to unite political and religious power in his own person. M. Cayla, its author, argues as follows :—Victoria of Eng land is Queen and Pope (Reine et Papesse). The King _ . of Prussia is King and Pope. The Protestant Sove reigns of the German Confederation exercise at the same time political and religious power. In Sweden Denmark, and Norway, the Kings . are Popes: Alexander IL, Emperor of Russia, is Czar and Pontiff. Otho of Bavazia is King and Pope at Athens. The Sultan of the Turks is Emperor and Pope. And we must add that in nearly all these States, espe cially in England and Prussia, the union of the two Powers has promoted the development of the national instincts and of liberty. Does not England enjoy con- atitutional immunities? Is not Prussia at the head of German Liberalism ? What is useful for others," says this writer, " will be good and useful for our dear France, a land so fertile in all grand amd generous ideas." And he adds—" Let the political government in future have no longer two distinctive centres--Paris and Rome, — that is to say two centres of civilisation and of obscu rantism. Let the French clergy, as the only body combining the science and the morality necessary to direct public worship, no longer receive its inspirations from abroad, but from its conscience and its patriotism. The priest should be above all a citizen, and servo the State which pays him. Rome is a factitious country ; the moment is come to declare for France." This pamphlet the Constitutic nnel addresses itself to the task of exposing, by quoting the famous Concordat, " One of the great glories of the name of puonaparte," and concludes that this instrument which " reconciles the civil power with the authority of Catholicism, of which the centre is at Rome, cannot be called in question much less annulled." Now, if this, as is well remarked by the Times' correspondent, be all that is "to prevent the Emperor from separating from the authority of Catholicism, of which the centre is at Rome,' from declaring himself independent of the Pope, and boldly setting up for himself, the difficulty is by no means insurmountable. The Concordat of 1801, between the first Napoleon and the Catholic authority of that day, Pius VII., would as little retard the attainment of that end as the Constitution of 1848 did the great act of French regeneration in 1852, commonly known as the coup d'etat of December." That the separation or aliena tion here considered is a fact, the consummation of which is not by any means remote, we have very little doubt. Numberless facts in the recent policy of Napoleon 111. point at such an event,—and Peter the Great of Russia was the first of the Czars who established, in his own person, the union of the spiritual and temporal authority, and he did 3010 r the folloviing reasons : -- 44 When the lower elawea of the people," said Peter, "witness the extraordinar respect and honour which tn'compass a supreme Pontiff, their admiration and wonder are sO excited thgt they took upon the chief of the Chnrdhias'a gecond SoVeteign whose dignityis equal, or even ShteiiOr, to that of the Monarch himself, acid iheyaredislibsecl to attach to the ecclesiastical intik a tCha , raelar of power above that of any other." the sortie model and the same motifs will probably serve Yor the present Emperor of the French, whose next step would be the creation of a Synod on the plan of that of St. Petersburg, the Presidency of which body has for some time past been very efficiently discharged by a general of cavalry ! As Napoleon 111. has no lack of field-marshals ready and willing to do his bidding, the presidential chair of 'the new Assembly would not long be vacant, should it be found difficult to get an ecelesi siastic to accept the office. From Southern Italy there is no new repoft, save of continued anarchy in the rural districts and disaffection in the capital. The Muratist party is stated to be gaining strength, and they point to French intervention at Gaeta as a proof that they are backed by the Emperor.. The Garibaldians and Mazzinians also still 'centilitre their bad work. "No words of mine," says h 'fdreign correspondent, "convey, to the 'full extent, the agi tation to which the country is h Vtty, or the un scrupulous virulence Of tb'e htta`eks directed against the government 'both in the North and South of the Penihstda. Poor Garibaldi would in 'a calm trionient be pained even to death were he to know Tot• what dissensions his honoured name is made the pretext." Naples will have to be kept down with a strong hand, and there are not wanting indications of this in every newsletter from that city. The work in progress is, as we recently observed, an illustration of the old world truth, that destruction is easier than re construction. By far the hardest part of the task under taken by Victor Emmanuel and Count Cavour is that on which they are now engaged, the work of reconstruc tion in Naples and Sicily, There is a rumour that Count de Morny is to go on a special mission to the Pope with an autograph letter from the Emperor. This is more probable than the rumoured amicable arrangement between Victor Em manuel and his Holiness. A congress on the Venetian question is also on the lapis. A letter from Turin alludes to an exchange of letters between the King of Italy and the Holy Father, having for its object "an amicable arrangement" of their little differ ences. Among the conditions proposed is one that the Pope should abandon the temporal sovereignty in favour of the King, receiving a civil list of 5,000,000 livres, and 100,000 livres for each cardinal, with place in the Senate of the Kingdom of Italy. Both Pope and King would reside in the Eternal City, one at the- Capitol, the other at the Vatician. This is probably a mere fancy sketch, of which we may expect to have many brought before the public eye, pending the fluc tuations of this most difficult Roman question. It is asserted that it has been discovered that the object of Francis 11, in sending those of his troops, for whose services he had no longer any immediate use, into the Roman territories, was to have them maintained and kept together by the Papal Government until they should be wanted for a second campaign. This ingenious scheme, however, has been rudely interrupted by the French government. An order, given by the Sardinian Government, for 400 tons of saltpetre, has imparted rather more firmness to the London produce market. The news from India is not of special interest. Arrangements are being made for the collection of the first half-year's income tax ; Sir Hugh Rose is obtaining favour by the improvements he is making in the soldier's condition ; and the volunteer movement vires acquirit nod°. The Hurkaru announces that the duty on cot ton piece-goods and yarns and twist will be immediately reduced to five per cent., and that there will be certain modifications in the system by which the duties are levied, which will facilitate business, being a great improvement upon the old and very complicated plan. A circular from the War-office, issued on Tuesday, directs attention of officers commanding rifle corps to the improper and unserviceable state, in many instances, in which the arms of volunteers have been found, on in spection, arising from dirt, rust, &c. At a recent meeting at Brighton, it was stated by Mr. E. J. Crawford, M.P., chairman of the Garibaldi Fund Society, that the society had obtained upwards of 1,000 volunteers, of whom not more than 750 were shipped for Italy. The expedition cost £15,000 or £16,000, which was about £l5 per man. They had but £1,500 in hand towards the £13,000 or £14,000 which they required. Mr. Richard Sarsfield, in a letter to the .3forning Post, charges the society with gross misman agement; and intimates that the balance referred to by Mr. Crawford has been since paid by the new Government of Naples. Mr. Milner Gibson addressed his constituents last night at Alliton-under-Lyne, in a speech in which, among other matters, he entered at great 'length upon the subject of the French Treaty. The Austrian Gazette says :—" The Neapolitan envoy, Prince Petrulla, has presented to the Emperor an auto graph letter from his sovereign, dated Gaeta, the 3rd' instant, and containing interesting information as to the instructions of the French admiral and the battle of the Garigliano. In his letter the King Francis 11. expresses his firm resolution to adhere faithfully to his military mission as long as possible. Despatches from Gaeta, of the sth instant, brought here by Count Lucchesi-Palli, son of the Duchess of Berry, confirm that resolution." Colonel Ladonni, an officer of the Sardinian cavalry, entrusted with a special mission to this country, for the purpose of entering into negotiations for the manu facture of English ordnance for the Sardinian Govern ment, visited Woolwich Arsenal on Tuesday, accom panied by Mr. Pegg, one of the contractors, with a view of making arrangements for proving at the Government butt a number of the guns and mortars already com pleted. A few of each description were received at the Arsenal some days ago, but, in consequence of the pressure at the present moment on the proof depart ment, it was stated that a delay of some ten or fourteen days must necessarily ensue before the request could be complied with, due notice of which would be forwarded to the Sardinian Embassy in London. One of the heaviest Armstrong siege guns, manufac tured at Woolwich arsenal, under the superintendence of Mr. John Anderson, was tested the same day, at the proof butt, The gun 'was fired two rounds, each time with a charge of 251bs. of powder and a 100 lb. shot. The trial was perfectly satisfactory, and the gun was forthwith stored with others of that class proved during the preceding days of the week, to be issued for ser vice. A couple of the Whitworth cannon were afterwards subjected to the ordinary test. The first was a 12-pounder, which stood the trial exceedingly well, and was very much admired. The power of the gun was of such an extraordinaky nature, that the shot , penetrated completely through the mound of earth against which it was fired. The second, an 84-pounder, was then fired—two ronnds with a charge of 241bs. of powder and a service shot. After the second round it was observed that the joints had started, showing a cre vice at that part of the gun where the junction of the segments is effected. The crevice, although exceedingly slight, was clearly perceptible when pointed out by those accustomed to that duty. Mr. Serjeant Parry, as will be seen by the report of the interview in another column, accompanied by a deputation from the pawnbrokers, attended on Tuesday at the Guildhall Police-court, before Sir R. W. Carden, for the purpose of rectifying an error into which it was considered the worthy alderman had fallen, in some remarks made by him during an investigation a few days ago. At the examination of Graham, charged with extensive watch robberies and jewel frauds, an opinion had been expressed by the magistrate that pawnbrokers derived an enormous profit from unredeemed pledges. Statistics were now furnished to show that the fact was exactly the reverse, the balance on such transactions invariably being on the wrong side of the ledger. The inference to be drawn was that the pawn brokers had not the inducement which was supposed to receive property dishonestly come by. The concluding convention, completing the French tariff was signed in Paris on Friday last, and now only waits the ratification of the British Government. It is stated that all sorts of figured and woven cotton fabrics, printed calicoes, mixed woven fabrics, ginghams, &c., are to pay a duty of 15 per cent. ad valorem. Plain calicoes, fustians, &c., are to pay by weight and count of picks; the average duty being, as nearly as can be calculated, about 15 per cent. The duty on cotton yarns will be levied according to the number g.nd weight ; the average being about 10 per cent. The duties on all kinds of silk goods will be 5 per cent, or under. One of the most difficult operations ever performed by a diver has recently been accomplished in recovering the remainder of the treasure sunk in the Malabar at Galle. This consisted in cutting away the large iron plates from the mail room, half-an -inch thick, and working through nine feet of sand. Reinke's diving apparatus was employ ed, as on t he previous occasions, and X 16,000 c 0 e on board was sthus got out in o ne d ay.

His royal highness left Brighton on Sunday evening. for London. ile Highness the P r i ncess Royal attained the twentieth Royal iethyearof her age yesterday, having been born on the 21st of November, 1840. She was married on the 25th of January, 1858, to Prince Frederick William of Pru.ssia. The beautiful and accomplished sister of an hon. baronet, who has but recently succeeded to the title which his ancestors have so long and so honourably held, the other day eloped from Dresden with the German tutor who had been engaged by the family. The young, lady has a large fortune, and is most prepossessing in appearance, It is stated she was betrothed, at the time of her flight., to a gentiettaan of position in the county of CAMberlaitd. , On Monday morning the Hercules steamer, belonging to the London and North-Western Railway Company, arrived at the North wall, Dublin, having on board the mangled remains of the unfortunate men who were killed in the collision on the Trent Valley Railway, at Nuneaton, on Friday. In the Court of Exchequer yesterday, Mrs. Swinfen's claim for double rent against two of her tenants came before the court, when the judges unanimously decided that the act of parliament framed for the protection or landlords against tenants who hold over legal notice to quit, did not apply in this ease, and gave jthlgnient foi defendant.

NEL YouN BRIGHT has been missing for some time, but he has turned up at last, as a speaker at the annual soiree of the Wakefield Mechanics' institution. The first thing that must strike any one, on reading the report of his speech on that occasion, is the adroitness with which he endea voured to evade the rule of the institution which forbids the introduction of political discussion at any of its meetings. Mr. BRIGHT, alluding to the regulation in questions amused his audience by referring to the operation of a similar rule at agricultural meetings. "I find there," he said " that nearly every speaker, after he has just glanced at turnips, or some agricultural matter of that kind, shoots off at once into a poll tical disquisition. I won't follow their example ; I will not go into party politics in the least." Thereupon he laid down the proposition that, " As the rule excludes politics that are concerned with party, it does not exclude politics that have no reference to party." Without further preface the " honourable" gentleman set off at fall gallop into the very middle of polities., and for nearly an hour treated his audience to a discourse, the purport of which was that we owe all the evils that afflict society to the extravagance of the aristocracy ;—to the inequality of taxation, where by the rich are exempt and the poor oppressed ; that we have only been saved from national ruin by the legislative efforts of Messrs. COBDEN, BRIGHT, and Co. ; —that our only chance of future prosperity rests upon our unwavering faith in the same political saviours ; and in the educa tion of the whole people in Mr. BRIGHT'S views of political economy. By the same means strikes and all their evils are to be abolished,—soup kitchens are to be rendered superfluous, and philanthropy left without a needy object. Ame rican Republicanism was, of course, held up to the admiration of his audience, and the idea was more than hinted at that the adoption of a similar form of government in this country ought to be the aim of every man ; and that the ultimate attainment of such an object must be the natural result of a greater diffiusion of knowledge and intelligence. Then, the riches accumulated by particular men and families are to be fairly dis tributed among the multitude, who will be no longer poor—whose little comforts will be no longer precarious. These are the political opinions, the enunciation of which Mr. BitiGHT prefaced with the assertion that their discussion was permissible in a Mechanics' Institution be .cause " they had no reference to party." The abuse of such an opportunity by addressing politics to a large meeting, met for anon-political purpose, is a serious evil, which might, if per mitted to pass without re p ro b a tion, lead to still more grievous conse quences . It is essential to the welfare and prosperity of Mechanics' Institu tions that they shall not be turned into political engines for the benefit of any party, but espe cially of such demagogues as Mr. BRIGHT. On the platform of a Mechanics' Institution men of every political opinion and phase of religious belief ought cordially to unite in shaking hands over their differences. Why should not the Wakefield audience have been permitted to realise the truth of the Chairman's eloquent observations when he said—" They knew only too well how political discords might provoke animosities and sunder friendships, and it was, therefore, with a certain alacrity that they might embraced meetand those aet wi th occasionsthe same upon h i w g h h i c h h e t p h e e , ya and the same untiring purpose, when they might forget Jthe strife, and contention of the past, and when they ; might remember that , however strong may have been the impulses which hurled some of them apart, those bonds we re infinitely stronger which, whether as fellow countrymen or as fellow-citizens, bound them inseparably together ?" Was it the part of any sincere friend of the people to mar the utility and alloy the pleasure of such a meeting, as Mr. BRIGHT did, by a covert attempt to p ropagate obnoxious political sentiments ? -Why was Mr. BRIGHT obliged to confess that, "to-night I feel myself in a very unusual and indeed somewhat difficult position." Ought he not to have been ashamed to state the fact that although often invited to take part at the meetings of such insti tutions for the education of the working classes, it was many years since he had done so ? ltor twenty years, as he himself allowed, he has been before the public as a party politician, and as the professed friend of the lower classes; and yet he has been a stranger, if not an enemy, to the working of a scheme which, when efficiently carried out, is calculated to confer inestimable blessings upon the very objects of Mr. BRIGHT'S pretended watchfulness and care. And when at last he does appear at a Mechanics' Institute, he has not one word of commendation of the legiti mate operations of such an agency, but labours to convince them that unless they will aban don the pursuit of general knowledge, and. take to the agitation of political subjects, their efforts at self-improvement are in vain. He felt- bound to say, from the experience of the past, that the _striking off and eradicating a bad principle from our legislation, the sweeping away of a single act of Parliament waii worth more than ten thousand soup kitchens, and more than an age of ordinary philanthropic effort ! He might quite consistently have specified Mechanics' Institutes' among those efforts which he deems comparatively worthless. Doubtless that was his real meaning. It is in this way that such selfishly ambitious men—the quasi friends of the people,—allow the cloven hoof to be plainly seen and prove by their own words and acts that they are the greatest enemies of sound progress. This latest development of Brightite tactic shows that this Radical champion is conscious of the exhaustion of his role as a party political agitator. He now seeks to wear a mask, and make his appearance upon another and a neutral stage. Under the flimsy pretence of talking "politics which concern no party," he hopes to steal an audience, and to pervert a useful institu tion into a hateful engine for republican propa gandism. But he shall not succeed in his vile undertaking. His statements on Tuesday even ing were little more than a co ld h as h o f , his formerly oft repeated,* and as often refuted, allegations and fallacies. The people of England know them well. They stink in every man's nostrils. To attempt to follow and expose the baseless assertions and futile argu ments with which the ears of the Wakefield mechanics were impudently assailed for an hour would exhaust the patience of our readers, and, besides, would be a work of supererogation. So far as Mr. BRIGHT'S influence with the working classes can go, he might truthfully exclaim, " Othe//o's occupation's gone." The people will have none of him or of " his polities which concern no party." Truly they do not concern the English nation, however interesting they may be to a few grasping, shortsighted, and yet ambitious and loud-mouthed cotton lords, and. would-be statesmen of Manchester. It does,, however, concern Englishmen —every well-wisher of his fellow-countrymen—to see to it promptly and. efficaciously that Mr. JOHN BRIGIIT or any of his school shall not abuse and pervert to poli tical purposes one of the most hopeful educa tional instrumentalities of the age— , our INstitOTts, SOUTH LANCASIIIRE JjUnGMENT OF THE bOMMoN., We give elseW4ere a full reliort .of this jUdg thent, reVersing that of the Reviling Barrister. Ol!q. 4;th . thr bont l 6thpnitr3>, the Daily Post, has been misinformed as to the effect of this judgment, " which," our contemporary says, " will be to strike off the names of all those voters in South Lancashire objected to by Mr. Brumfit who did not appear to prove their qualifications—about 1,500." If the Daily Post meant that 1,500 votes have, by this decision ) been lost to the Conservatives, we mean to suy that it isint'or: rect. The point at fissile Was riieretY - Whether Mr. Brumfit, in the eirchinstantes, bad the right to make any objections at 'the ReVising Bar rister held that he had riot: 7 1. 1. otWitirstandingthat opinion, the COrisark - ative agent took the Precaution, as did 'We oUrselves ) in these ctslumiis, speeiall to warn all Conservatives against whose votes Mr. Brumfit had objected, that in all probability the barrister's opinion would be over-ruled by the court above. Accordingly we urged all whose right to vote had been questioned to come for ward to substantiate the same, as if no such opinion had been given. The result was that, with a few exceptions, the parties objected to came forward and met the objection exactly as if his right to object had never been questioned, and, with trifling exceptions, they Made good their places upon the Register. Some who, under any eireninstatibeS, ought to lia - k , e been struck ;Off, and *he titerekorb did rot come for:- Wara to answer Mr. Brumfit's objections, might have been retained on the register had these objections been held inadmissible ; but in no event was there the least likelihood of their votes being made practically available. The effect of the recent judgment in the Common Pleas, there fore, is only to strike off a few names which had no right to be there, and which were of no real value to the Conservatives. The effect of the greater purity of the list is in no way prejudicial to the triumph of the Conservative party at the late revision, whose strength, already enormously preponderating, has been still further fortified— thus rendering the issue of the nett election_ for the Division by ito Means doubtful in fairofir of the only sound Liberal, that is to say, the Liberal- Conservative, party in the State. THE LATE WM. WALKER, ESQ. We regret to have to record the death of one of the most estimable, useful, sagacious, and upright of our fellow-citizens, William Walker, Esq., of the highly respectable firm of Messrs. Walker and Ackerley, auc tioneers, who died yesterday, at the residence of A. E. Heath, Esq., 28, Sandon-street, at the age of fifty-six years. As the head of one of the leading business firms in Liverpool, the deceased Was well known and highly respected as a man of the most undoubted integrity, punctuality and straightforwardness. All classes of the community cheerfully and gratefully relied on his wise counsels and experiened business habits. Even when less able than formerly to take an active part in the con duct of his business, it was felt that his influence had been indelibly impressed on the establishment, and never failed, even in his absence, to secure the most satisfac tory results to the numerous and high class customers who have so long supported its good name ; and we believe that the same success will long be realised in connection with the business of the surviving partner. The late Mr. 'Walker had a wide connection in business. He was much esteemed, and looked up to, as a director of the North and South Wales Bank, as Well as in other important spheres: His absence will lie much felt and sincerely regretted ; and, taking him all in all, we feel that the town has experienced no ordinary loss by the death of so honest a man as William - Walker, Esq. TO LAURA GRAY. The following poetic effusion was largely circulated at the Theatre Royal on Miss Laura Gray's benefit, November 19, 1860 : LAURA, thou bright interpreter of bards' Most brilliant thoughts, and fancies wild and free, We wish thee well! and may thy task prove one So filled with glories and successes, like the past, That thou wilt often dwell on this, the spot Where thou first paced the tragic stage,—forget it not. Youth on thy side, and earnest wish to shine, Laurels thy brow shall deck ; success is thine. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. Last night Mr. Blakely took his benefit, playing in " Money" and the "Cricket on the Hearth," the former being decidedly the better adapted of the two for the display of that particular line of character in which this actor has acquired so much fame. The severity of the weather had an unfavourable effect upon the attendance, which otherwise, we feel satisfied, would have been much greater than it was. Mr. Henry Phillips, assistant box-keeper, invites the patronage of his numerous friends for the performances this evening, which are to be the highly interesting representations of " Ambition," " No," and "Faint Heart never Won Fair Lady." If the most patient and unremitting attention to his duties, and a uniformly obliging demeanour be recognised passports to public support, few individuals have in those respects greater claims than Mr. Phillips, and we shall rejoice to see him realise a benefit commensurate with them. FALSE ALARM.—Yesterday it was currently reported that at an early hour in the morning, a fire had broken out in Messrs. Milner's Safe-works, Windsor, but there was no truth in the statement. There was a fire in the locality, but it was of a most trifling character, the damage not exceeding a few pence. Imritovtn Tuesday, a trial of a new patented pump, the invention of Messrs. Winstanley and Kelly, took place on board the ship Queen of Com merce, lying in the Prince's Dock. The pump has already been tried for land purposes, but this was the first application of it to the requirements of shipping, at least in Liverpool. The principle of the invention is to k ee p up a constant flow of water, and thus prevent the loss which necessarily accompanies the ordinary mode of pumping. This is effected by havinc , the suction pipe separa te from the working portion of' the pump. The water flows in through the suction pipe, and so long as the pump is working a constant stream rises up and discharges itself without the slightest intermission. The patent pump requires no charging, as is the case with those of ordinary constractioti. It tan also be sounded with out losing the charge of water or tithing rut the buckets ; besides, any dirt or other material may be removed at once from the top of the suction pipe, and cannot obtain access to the pumping machinery. In the, working of the pump a considerable improve ment has been effected. By an ingenious combina tion of the heart wheel working with the friction roller, a large amount of labour is done away with, much less power being required than with the ordi nary crank. The inventors estimate that the pump will throw more than double the quantity of wat er abtained by the ordinary pump with half the power. Amongst those present to witness the trial were Lieut. Prior, the Government emigration agent at this port, Mr. H. Fernie, Captain Rudolph, Mr. R. Wright, Cap tain Baker, Captain Cranston, &c. The result of the trial was highly satisfactory, and several of the gentle men present, including Lieutenant Prior, expressed themselves in high terms of the merits of the invention. The pump in question has been permanently fixed on board the Queen of Commerce, and we understand it is to be applied to the Green Jacket and the Great Aus tralian, both well-known passenger vessels. Further experiments with the ptinip art shortly to be made. POLICEMEN AND POACHERS.— There always has existed a feeling of the greatest antipathy between these two classes of the community; and what took place at the County Magistrates' Court, yesterday, before G. H. Horsfall, Esq., and W. Bonn, Esq., shows that the same feeling still continues, the police hefty , of opinion that no man has a right t o s t ea l game , while' the poacher says, " If I can't get game, I will have chickens ;" and through stealing thirteen chickens, two, perhaps, of the most noted and daring poachers within the Walton district, have, at least for a time, had a stop put to their career. Yesterday Matthew Fairhurst, who has also passed him self off as Jim Robinson, Bob Ratcliffe, and all other , de'sctiptions of cognomens, was brought before the above magistrates by Sergeant Hardesty, of the Walton district, through whose intrepidity and courage he was apprehended on Tuesday morning, while in com pany with some other poachers, corning from the direc tion of Knowsley-park, with a quantity of partridges in their possession. The career of this noted individual may, since the year 1850, be traced, as far 'he is known in Kirkdale-croal, to be as follows, although it is well known tat he has been repeatedly incarcerated in the "new model" for various offences committed in Liver pool:—On the 16th Nov., 1850, for poaching, six weeks, and so on up to the present time. He has respectively been imprisoned after that, for the same offence, 2 months, 3 months, 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 month, 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 3 months, and 9 months, which was for burglary —making in all two years and seven months' imprisonment in one gaol within that short period. The charge for which he is now com mitted to take his trial, is for stealing thirteen fowls from the premises of Mr. Joseph Walker, of Fazakerly, on the 7th of July last. On that morning, police-con stable 532 met two men in Limekiln-lane, each of whom had a bundle under his arm, and upon seeing the police man, they pushed the bundles into the hedge, and turned upon the policeman, who asked them what they had placed in the hedge, and they denied that they had been near the hedge. He attempted to take them into cus tody, but they escaped, and upon going to look at the bundles, he found them to contain thirteen fowls, quite warm and skinned, which were afterwards identified by Mr. Walker. A short time since, Sergeant Hardesty, after a great struggle, captured Wright, or "Big Wright," as he was called, and he was committed for trial, and on Tuesday, the same officer captured Fair hurst, after another struggle, and he was also sent for trial. Thus, for a time at least, the suburban comminnity will be safe from the depred4tions of these u9togious individuals. LATEST NEWS. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) FRANCE AND ROME.

The following account of Mr. Abraham Linco just elected President of the United States, 0 given in a letter from New York published in tll° Opinion Nationale : - - - He was born in the county of Hardem, in Kentuck 1 the 12th Feb., 1809. His grandfather, who e m igrateu from Virginia into that State, in 1781, was killed by tb e Indians whilst engaged in clearing his lands. His SO' who, like himself, was very poor, also died prematurely' and left a widow and some children, one of them being Abraham, then aged six years. The widow, with he r children, after a while, took up her residence in the south of Indiana, and there Abraham, in course of tilne , reached man's estate. In stature he is almost gigantic' b e ing six feet three inches. His mother was able to gls' e him but little education; in fact, he passed only six or eight months at school. He was in succession a fall labourer, a woodcutter,oodcutter, and a boatman on the Wabas and the Mississippi. In 1830 he went to the State of Illinois, and earned his living for a year by working 35 a labourer in the fields ; and then he got a place as II shopman, and afterwa r d s en li s t e d a s a v o l un t eer in 3 t company which was raised at New Salem t o ta ke par, in the war in Florida against the Indi an t r ib es , heac l .7, by the chief called the Black Hawk.
