THE PARISH BURIAL BOARD The fir s t meeting of the regularly constituted Parish oous e purial Board, was held in the boardroom of the work ,at ten o'clock, yesterday morning. Mr. Robert ' sou Gladstone, chairman of the board, presided. The O ther chairman), members present, were—Messrs. J. R.

Shaw said that letter place Posi ti e e n a• The Rector had resolved to close St. Martin's tor etery. Until after the present . day, they could not i.ir w hether they would be in a position to go to St. h anie ss Cemetery or not. The consequence was, that at e PrNllt moment there was no burial ground for the iln (3 °T of the parish. The churchwardens were not in a —s ttion t o say that Walton was ready, or that proper arrangements had been made to bury paupers there. DT he senior- ciur r c e li e w m arden was, at the present moment, ean adjoiningin consultation with the Rev. Mr. y, who acted for the rector, and he understood that arranOments were made by the rector for the interment ..el Private persons at Walton. Mr. J e ff re y said that would place the board in a most amfortunate position because, if any interments took Place in Walton, the ' difficulties would be materially increased.

He felt sure that the churchwardens t he ' ? erseers were ready to support the inhabitints of 1„ 0 "hwn that theshould„o only pay such fees at Wal hit:‘vr as they were to pay. But, even if they , advised to pay the excessive fees, any inha. 4' would have a right to appear before the auditor, and object to the fees being allowed, and then the question would come in a legitimate manner before the authorities of the country, with whom it would rest to say, what fees should be paid in land where the parish was being forced to inter its dead. Mr. Hart read a note received from the Rev. Rector Campbell, in reply to a resolution of the vestry, request ing him to state upon what footing he was prepared to put the question in regard to the payment of fees for interments. The letter merely stated that, up to the present, the Rector did not feel competent to return an answer until he should be better informed upon the subject ; but, if it should be found necessary to extend Walton Cemetery, he would place himself in communi cation with the Bishop, who was, he believed, the person to decide the scale of fees, before performing the consecration. POLICE COURT, ,-YE STE RDAY, (BEFORE MR. R. E. HARVEY.) PLUNDER BY A SAILOR.—A Spanish sailor, named Andrew Leeah, was charged with having stolen 112 gold dollars from another sailor named Antonio Fernando. It appeared that, on Thursday last, the prosecutor arrived here in the sbip Sacramento, and that he was paid off with the above-named coin. He put it in a box, which he left in a boarding-house at 20, Gradnell.street. He gave the key of the box to the prisoner, to take care of the money in his absence ; and two witnesses proved that they saw the prisoner at the box with money in his hand. There were only 8 dollars and 11 franc pieces found on the prisoner. He was remanded. A POOR KERRY MAN.—A poor old man, named Patrick Grady, a native of Kerry, charged Ellen Riley and John Long with having robbed him of 24 sovereigns. The prosecutor had come from New York some days ago in the ship Asia. The male prisoner was a sailor on board the ship, and, on arrival here, they went to lodge in Ray-street. On Friday, they went into a public-house, where they met the female prisoner. The old man took out his bag to pay for some drink, when the woman snatched it. It contained 50 sovereigns ; and before she dropped it, she managed to extract 24 of the coin from the bag, and then both the prisoners ran away. On Saturday, the poor old man was on board the Cork boat, when the female prisoner called him and said, she would get him the money if he went with her. He said he would lose his passage, for which he paid lOs 6d. She said it would be better for him to lose lOs 6,1 than 21 sovereigns, and he went with her; but, instead of getting him his cash, she attempted to plunder him of the remainder of his gold. The evidence against the man was not considered sufficient, and he was discharged. The woman was remanded, as the officers got a " scent " of the money. A WELSH WAY OF RECOVERING DEBT.—James Williams, Thomas Wales, and Catherine Wallace, were charged by John Downey, under the following circum stances :—The parties are natives of the principalities, and Mr. Bluck defended the prisoners. It appeared that the complainant is a master lumper, living in Gilbert-street, and that he employed •the prisoners occasionally. On Saturday night they called at his house, in company of one of their wives, and demanded money, which they alleged he owed them. He denied that he owed them anything but 4d. They swore they would have blood, if they did not get money. He said they might have the former, but he could not produce any of the latter. They then enquired for some beef or mutton, and even offered to be content with common ham and ale. They searched the house for such things, but, not being successful, they rushed up stairs, shouting out " a feather bed—a feather bed." They then seized on his bed, and went off with it, when he followed, and gave them into custody, on a charge of felony. Mr. Bluck contended that, in point of law, there was no felony committed. His Worship told the prisoners if they had any claim against the complainant, they could enforce it properly. He discharged the female, and bound the men to keep the peace; the bed to be returned to the owner. The Chairman said he thought the Rector was rather under a misapprehension ; for, any additional ground which they proposed to purchase, would be mainly, if not entirely, for dissenters, for whom there was no pro vision made in the ground already consecrated by the authorities of the Established Church. Mr. Woodruff said the rector had stated particularly, in reference to the question of fees, that he was not prepared to demand the full rate of fees, but was willing to moderate the sum ; and, therefore, it ought not to be allowed to go forth that the rector demanded lOs 6d, 8s 6d, or even 6s 6d. His impression was, that the rector's demand would not exceed is 6d each. His impression was, in fact, that the rector had almost, if not, entirely, committed himself to the statement that he would not expect more than half of what he expected for private interments on the small scale of fees as now operating in Snlithdown-lane Cemetery, under the burial board there--3s for the private inter ment, which would, therefore, be is 6d for each pauper burial , The Chairman said the Rev. Mr. Denny's letter con tained one or two expressions as coming from the rector, which he bitterly lamented should come from the Rector of Liverpool. "He felt deeply aggrieved at the con stitution of the Burial Board !" This was, in effect, to declare, that they were incompetent and unfit for the discharge of their duties to the town. It was scarcely charitable to earry one's feelings so far as to allow him, on what was in every sense a very solemn and serious subject, to advocate the rights of one sect or party over another, for that was what must be inferred from some of the expressions. He could not express how deeply he lamented that such words should have escaped the rector as those in which he spoke of the board not being a " fair representation of the parish," as if it were a matter of popular election to determine who their representatives should be in the town-council or in parliament. (Hear, hear.) It was painful to receive such a communication. He only lamented that while he discharged his clerical duties as rector, he should have lost sight of the fact that he had duties to perform as a good citizen, and left his fellow townsmen in such a position that they were now at a loss to determine where the interment of their paupers should take place. (Hear, bear.) Mr. Jackson said he was not at all surprised at the issue. He might be, perhaps, somewhat uncharitable in his thoughts and reasoning, but it was just what he had anticipated from the very beginning. He thought the course they had now before them was quite clear— that they should proceed at once to look for land suitable to the purpose, and recommend it to the parishioners. They could hereafter determine to what use they would apply the ground at Walton. Mr. Jeffiey said, if any interment should take p lace at Walton, he would strongly urge upon the church wardens and overseers to resist any demand for fees exceeding those hitherto paid, and leave the rector to his own redress. Let them leave the Walton land for pauper interments, and seek land elsewhere for those not already provided for, and for others who would be laid in a consecrated position. The order in Council appeared in the rector's favour, which he regretted exceedingly. He hoped the churchwardens would not wait for the auditor, but tender the ordinary fees, and let the rector take his own course to recover any greater amount. (Hear, hear.) He believed the law was on the side of the fees as they had been. (Hear, hear.) The Chairman stated, that in obedience to the wish of the preliminary meeting, he had waited, with the churchwardens, on the agent of Lord Derby, and Mr. Heywood, the representative of the late Lord Sefton. The former was not then prepared to give an answer, but undertook to communicate with his lordship, and report to the board whether they could have land to purchase, should they require it, for the purpose of a burial ground. Mr. Heywood said he thought he would be in a position to sell land for the purpose, but could not commit himself as yet to a decided answer. It was known that both the Derby and Sefton property comprised land in immediate contiguity to the present cemetery. Therefore, so far as enquiries had gone, they were rather favourable to the feasibility of purchasing the ground, if it were thought desirable. Mr. Stitt hoped it would be fully understood that it was the rector who had placed himself in that position of antagonism, and not any act on the part of the board. The Chairman said at the preliminary meeting there appeared to be an unanimous desire to discover some amicable mode of arranging the question of fees, and ' they were all prepared to treat the rector with every possible liberality. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that whatever the manner in which the rector should have acted towards them, the board would not be induced to forget what was due to themselves, and that they would not fail to treat the rector with all the respect which was due to him and to his position as Rector of Liverpool. (Hear, hear.) _ THE FINALE TO THE GREAT CONCERT AT ST. GEORGE'S HALL.— A well dressed foreigner, who gave his name as Charles Keddes, charged a young woman, named Emily Smith, with having stolen his gold watch and chain and six sovereigns. The complainant, who spoke English tolerably well, said he was an artist, and was playing music at George's Hall, at the concert on Friday night. He was going home, after the concert, to his lodging, at 95, Islington, when he met the prisoner, and he agreed to give her lodging in his apartment for the night. About two o'clock in the morning he missed his watch and money, and asked the prisoner if she knew anything about them ? Of course, she replied in the negative; but, from the manner in which she spoke, he suspected she had the sovereigns in her mouth, and he caught her by the neck and put his finger in her mouth, and felt the coin very plainly. He attempted to extract it from this novel purse, but she nearly bit his finger off, and swallowed the money. (Laughter.) On searching her, he found his watch and chain concealed on her. Mr. Hardy: You were fortunate in getting it ; if you act in this disreputable way, and keep such bad company at your lodging, you cannot expect anything but robbery. Discharge the prisoner. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF BIGAMY.—A young man, named William George Noble, described as a plasterer, was brought up, charged by his mother, Mary McDonnell, of Rodney-street, Park, with bigamy. Mr. Bluck was for the prisoner. From the story told by the mother of the prisoner, it appeared that he was in the Militia, and in May last he was in Glasgow, where he married a young woman named Catherine Sellors. When he was discharged he came to Liverpool with his wife, and resided with his mother (along with his wife) up to Tuesday last. On Wednes day he went away, and got married to a girl named Eliza Davis, at St. Simon's Church. The mother did not know what had become of him until she saw an account of his marriage in the Mercury, newspaper, and then she had him arrested: Mr. Bluck asked if there was any evidence in support of the charge ? Mrs. M'Don nell offered to produce, as a witness, the first wife, a nice tidy girl about 20 years of age, but this was objected to by Mr. Bluck, and the objection was held good. There being no other evidence forthcoming at the time, the prisoner was discharged. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—Edward Johnstone, who stood remanded on a charge with having embezzled £7 2s, Id, from Messrs. Green and Taylor, was brought up. The details of this case were fully reported in our paper of this day week. There being no further evidence offered in the case, the prisoner was discharged After some further conversation, Mr. Jackson moved the following resolution : " That, inasmuch as the Rector has determined upon immediate interments in the new ground at Walton, contrary to the wishes of the Select Vestry and of this hoard—resolved that the board proceed forthwith to take such steps as may be expedient to obtain suitable land in the most eligible situation." Mr. Shaw seconded the resolution, which was unani mously adopted. A committee was appointed to carry out the resolution, consisting of the Chairman and Vice-chairman, the Churchwardens (Messrs. Woodruff and Shaw), and Mr. Cerbally. The board then adjourned to next Monday. FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. On the evening of Thursday last, a remarkably fine young man, named Walter Campbell, aged twenty-two, in the employ of Messrs. Dixon and Ross, steel and copperplate printers, of St. James's-place, Hampstead-road, had been, on Thursday, with three or four of his shopmates to Barnet Fair, having taken return tickets by the Great Northern Railway to and from the Barnet station. At Barnet station, as at Hornsey, the passengers to London have to cross, from the down side of the rails, the main line, to reach the plat form for the up trains. Walter Campbell and his friends arrived at Barnet station on the side of the down line, and found the people being drafted across the main line to the up platform in order to be in readiness to enter the up train on its arrival at the station, and which was then nearly due. A train at last appeared in sight, and was supposed, at least by the passengers, to be the stopping train at the Barnet station to take them to London. Several persons ran across the line, and the unfortunate deceased among the number. The tram, instead of being the stopping train, turned out to be an up express train, and came with such velocity that before the unfortunate young man, Campbell, could clear the up rails and reach the platform, the engine struck him ; and it is stated by the by-stand9rs that, to their horror, they saw his body hurled in advance of the train about fifty yards. On being picked up his remains presented a frightful spectacle ; his legs were cut off at both ancles, and the thighs and upper parts of the body, as well as the head and face, were much mutilated. Death must ofcoursehave been instantaneous. The inquest was held on Friday afternoon before Mr. Ward, the coroner for Hertfordshire, when the evidence of the officials was to the effect that, although several people had crossed the line, they warned the deceased and others not to do so, as the up-train was approaching, and that, although held back, the deceased broke away and ran across. Henry Brayley states that, seeing the train at a distance, coming up, Campbell ran into the station, and he and his com panions were following him, but at some distance. Many people had run across the line to the up-platform, and the deceased was following them, when the occurrence must have taken place. Charles Rand, another young man who was with the deceased, gives similar evidence, and states that, when he went back to Barnet to see the body, he found it rolled up in a tarpaulin, in an outhouse, and that it pre sented a shocking spectacle, A verdict of " Accidental death" was returned, After the meeting had adjourned, the following letter was handed to our reporter:— St. Peter's, Liverpool, Sept, 8, 1856. Dear Sir,—ln consequence of the advice given me by yourself and Mr. Shaw, the churchwardens of this parish, we shall venture to postpone the opening of Walton Cemetery, and the closing of St. Martin's, till we hear from the rector, which we hope will be on the 12th instant —I am, dear sir, yours truly, John Woodruff, Esq.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES, Sir,—ln your paper of to-day, " A Ratepayer," in a letter headed " Procrastination," omplains of the members of the Toxteth-park Local Board of lialth having failed to form a quorum at their monthly meeting on Tuesday last, and asks the question—" What is the remedy for this indiffer ence ?" To this I reply, by informing " A Ratepayer," that there are at present three vacancies in the board, and that, if he will favour me with his name and address, I shall have much pleasure in getting him placed on the board, as we find, from the smallness of our district, great difficulty in finding gentlemen who will undertake the duties of the office. The names of two others, equally good grumblers as himself, will be esteemed a favour.—l am, &c., Toxteth-park, Saturday. H. S. ALuss. SEIZURE OF FORGING APPARATUS BY THE BIRMINGHAM POLICE. WAVERTREE LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH. Edward Chater, one of the largest forgers of bank notes in Birmingham, has been apprehended, and the greater portion of his apparatus seized by the police. His abode was in a court in Smallbrook-street, whither on Thursday morning Messrs. Glossop and Dutton, of the detective force, proceeded. On gaining admission they found that the man was not at home. His wife was there, and she was made a prisoner. The officers then proceeded to search the premises, and they very soon discovered that Chater's bedroom was his work shop. A press used in the manufacture of the notes was standing there, and no less than 104 unfinished notes were strewed about to dry. This was at an early hour in the morning, so the forgers must have been at their work during the night time. The notes wanted nothing but the water mark and numbers to complete them, and the plates for this purpose, with several others, were found concealed in the room. The press, plates, and notes, were of course taken possession of by the officers, and Sergeant Dutton was left to guard them and the female prisoner,' whilst Mr. Glossop watched outside the house for Chater's return. When he came he passed by his own door, and the officer, thinking perhaps he bad some scent of what had taken place, and that he meant to escape, instantly rushed upon him and seized him. He was "surprised to find his house in such confusion, not knowing any• thing about either the notes or the forgiug pp aaratus being in th e p l ace, " as he said. However, the officers marched their prisoners to the station, and they were taken before the magistrates the same morning, but none of the facts of the case were gone into, Mr. Glossop merely asking for and obtaining a remand until Satur day. On that day Chater and his wife were again placed at the bar, and the above facts giFen in evidence by the police, The result of the hearing was the liberation of the female prisoner, and the committal of her husband fur trial at the Warwick March assizes. Mr. Denton, of London, appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of the bank, and Mr, Kimberley defended the accused. The usual monthly meeting of this board was held last evening at the public offices, Wavertree. The Rev. W. Badnall presided. The other members of the board present, were—Messrs. Pictou, Rishton, Bradburn, Davis, Clarke, Anderton, and Swinden. The clerk read the minutes of the last meeting, which, after a brief conversation, were confirmed. A discussion then ensued as to the necessity and propriety of at once proceeding with the drainage of Wavertree road—the one to Lord Salisbury's property, and the other to the outlet sewer on the Wavertree road—, On the motion of Mr. Picton, seconded by Mr Swinden, the clerk was instructed to advertise for the completion of the same.—At the request of the cone tractor, the board consented to extend the time for the com pletion of the drainage from the Ist of March to the Ist of May, as he feared that ho had not asked for sufficient time in the first instance.—Mr. G. Speakeman applied for permission to erect a slaughter-house in Low-lane, to he registered according to the bye-laws of the board,—Mr. Rishton suggested that the subject sl.ould be postponed for a time, in order that the inhabitants of the locality might give their opinion, as to whether it would be a nuisance or not. This, he thought, should be a rule carried out on all such occasions. The subject was adjourned for further consideration for a month.—The surveyor was instructed to keep the back streets and lanes, within the township, perfectly clean.—The Chairman directed attention to the clelapidated state of the fire hose, which, at the late fire'at the mill, was perfectly useless, and a disgrace to the township.—The Surveyor explained that the hose was one of those canvass things, which burst when it was used.—On the motion of Mr. Swinden, seconded by Mr. Davis, it was resolved that an estimate be obtained for a hose, 100 feet in length, and that one be provided as speedily as possible.—Mr. Davis : I think the old one cost £so.—The Surveyor : No, £2l.—Mr, Rishton :At any rate, it was £2O thrown away.—The Chairman suggested that an engine and full apparatus should be provided.— It was decided that Mr. Hewitt, of the Liverpool fire brigade, should be consulted, and his" opinion on the subject reported to the next board,— Tho board then adjourned, THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.

TYsoN.--The bankrupt,who carried on the business of a baker and flour dealer, in Liverpool, came up this day on his adjourned last examination. Mr. Bateson, of the firm of Govandes, Bateson, and Robinson, appeared for the assignees, and Mr. John Bates, junior, for the bankrupt. Mr. Bateson said that he now proposed merely to examine the bankrupt very briefly, as the assignees had been furnished with the balance sheet but very recently. There was also in connection with it an account of Mr. Charles Pemberton's,which extended over sixty-six sheets of paper, and comprised items to the amount of £25,000, though none of the transactions whatever appeared on the bankrupt's hooks. There was also an account referred to in the balance sheet, that of a Mr.W. Humphreys, with whom the bankrupt had large transactions, principally cash. These latter—the cash transactions—amounted alone to over £30,000, and of them only something to the extent of £5OO appeared in the bankrupt's books. That showed that the accounts were made up by the "rule of thumb ;" and that they were, of necessity, most inaccurate. The account of Mr. Pemberton seemed to have eaten up the whole of the pro perty, the bankrupt, by his balance sheet, appearing to have paid and been indebted to Mr. Pemberton, in the course of five years and a half, the sum of no less than £4,072 for interest alone. The ordinary rate of interest he seems to have paid Mr. Pemberton was £6 per cent per month, or 72 per c.nt per annum. In some instance, he (Mr. Bateson) had found that there had been a charge for interest at the rate of no less than £l2O per cent per annum. No man could be expected to get on under such circum'tances. Air. Pernbe ton's account, which, as he before stated, extended over sixty_six sheets of paper, went on all 'Lin °ugh ringing the changes in the entry, "Received from yon so much fur carrying over loan so and so for one month," then for half a month, and so on ; and was, is fact, the most extraordinary account that had ever been presented to the court.—His Honour observed that he had just glanced at the account, and that he had found one item confirmatory of what Mr. Bateson had stated as to the rate of interest. He found a loan of £l5O, and £9 paid for continuing it for a month—an intolerable rate of interest, and one that no trader could by any possibility pay. Mr. Yates : No doubt the average rate has been 70 per cent. per annum all the time. The bankrupt was then examined by Mr. Bateson. He stated that he had carried on business at five different shops i❑ Liverpool, and that he had stopped on the 16th June last. His last transactions in bills before his bankruptcy was with Humphreys, when he accepted one from him for £B7O. He was not aware that on the 17th or 18th of Juno, or on some other day after his bankruptcy, he made any remittance in bank notes to anybody. Mr. Bateson • Are you prepared to swear that you did not? Bankrupt : I do not recollect. His Honour : Surely you must recollect any such circumstance if it occurred—this is only September? Mr. Bateson : Did you give your clerk, Furnival, notes or half notes to remit to any one after your bankruptcy ? Bankrupt : No. Mr. Batesou : Are you sure of that ? Bankrupt : Yes; the last remittance I made was to Rocker, Eaton, & Co. Mr. Yates: Did you pay anybody after you stopped ? Bankrupt : No. To Mr. Bateson : I never had any share transactions ; I hold none now, nor any share in a building society ; I made no settlement on my wife. Mr. Bateson : When (lid you first begin to borrow money from Mr. Pemberton ? Bankrupt : I cannot exactly tell—it was a little before the time that is given —five years and a half. Mr. Bateson : His account commen ces in 1850. Bankrupt: Then it was in 1849 I first began to borrow from him ; it was then in mortgages. Mr. Bateson : What is the mortgage referred to in the first page of Mr. Pem berton's account—on what property is it ? Bankrupt : I believe it is on the Brombro' estate. Mr. Bateson : What other property had you in 1850 ? Bankrupt : The warehouse 87, in Vauxhall-road. Did you remember what you paid Mr. Pemberton for that mortgage ? Bankrupt : I paid him 5 per cent. in that way (mortgages). Mr. Bateson :Is it true that, in 1850, you paid Mr. Pemberton interest at the rate of 3 per cent. per month? Bankrupt : Yes. Mr. Bateson : When did he increase the rate of interest ? Bankrupt : I can't just say. Mr. Bateson : I see in April Ist, 1852, there is an entry of this kind—" Lent you, to the 13th instant, £100; my charge, £5." Is that a correct entry ? Bankrupt : I cannot say ; I thought I never paid him more than £6 (a month). Mr. Bateson : But is this entry true ? Bankrupt : I cannot contradict it. Mr. Bateson :On April 2nd there is another loan—" Lent you £100; my charge, £2 ;" and on the 6th April, "Received, lent April the 2nd, £loo"—that is 40s for four days. Is that correct ? Bankrupt : I cannot contradict it. Mr. Bateson :On the same day, the 6th of April, on which you appear to have repaid him the £lOO, there appears a fresh loan of £6O, with a charge of £2 re ceived. On the 12th April there is, " Lent you for a month £lOO ;" and on the 15th, "My charge for loan of £lOO, from the 12th April to the 12th May, £6 ;" on the 16th May, " My charge for allowing the £lOO to remain over from April 13th to April 20th, £2 lOs ; my charge allowing £2OO, which should have been paid yesterday, to remain over until the 29th, £6 ; my charge for allowing £2OO, which should have been paid 22nd April, remaining over until the 29th April, £3 ; received these charges, and £6 under yesterday's date, £l7 10s." Are these items correct? Bankrupt : I think so, to the best of my recollection. Mr. Bateson : Then you appear to have paid him whenever you wanted accommo dation, whatever he choose to ask you ? Bankrupt : No, I did not. Mr. Bateson : Then what was your arrangement with him ? Mr. Yates : In fairness to the bankrupt, I should now state that this account has been collected from Mr. Pemberton's books, and filled by advice on the part of tho bankrupt, however it may tell against him. His Honour : Did you ever object to any demand made on you for interest ? Bankrupt : Yes. His Honour : Can you remember any instance in which the rate of interest was reduced, in conse quence of your objection ? Bankrupt : I cannot tell ; but it was in those cases where the loans were for a few days. Mr. Bateson : Why did you go on borrowing money from him ? Bankrupt : Because I could mostly get it from him when I wanted it. Mr. Bateson ; Could you not always get it from him when you paid him his price ? Bankrupt : No ; he has not always had it when I asked him. Mr. Bateson : What we may call thecustomary rate was £6 5s 2d ? Bankrupt : That would depend on whether he would draw the money from the bank or not. The ordinary rate was £6 per cent. per month, and 5s per cent, extra if the money was drawn out of bank: Mr. Bateson : Do you mean to represent to the Commissioner that it is true, as stated among your trade expenses, that in five years and a half Mr. Pemberton has charged £4,072 17e 4d for interest on loans ? Bankrupt : It is correct. Mr. 14teson : Ile has also charged you for law expenses, as your attorney during that period, £lB4 5s 10d, and I notice you have paid him £ll7 for interest on mortgages. According to page eight of your balance-sheet, your profits during that period—five years and a half—have been £3,635 2s 10d. Is that so? Bankrupt : Yes. Mr. Bateson : Not much difficulty in showing where the corn trade money is gone to. (Laughter.) At this stage of the examination, the case was further adjourned for three weeks, without any Opp°, sition beiug offered on the part of the bankrupt. SUICIDE OF A YOUNG LADY THROUGH A LOVE QUARREL On Saturday evening last Mr. G. T. Brent, the deputy c)roner, held an enquiry, at the New Crown Inn, St. Paul's terrace, Ball's-pond, Islington, into the circumstances con nected with the suicide of Ellen Louisa Felstead, aged 21 years, the daughter of a gun implement maker, residing at 12, Halton•street, Lower-road. It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Donaldson and the deceased's father that for some time past deceased had been keeping company with a young man named Parrott. She was a very sensitive, high-minded young woman. On the evening of Monday last she called at Mrs. Don )aldsons's, about nine or half-past nine o'clock, in. company with Parrott. The latter had an angry altercation with her about visiting at the above house, after which they west away, but not together. The deceased called again at half pact-eleven, and asked if Parrott had called and asked about her. On being answered in the negative, she became greatly excited, saying he would never see her again, and that he had sworn at her, and she could not live to be so addressed by him. She then went away, and witness saw no more of her alive, Mr. Felstead, her father, stated that she bad an altercation with Parrott at her own house between nine and ten o'clock, after leaving Mrs. Donaldson's. She said to her lover, "You ridicule and satirise the family when we aro together, and I cannot bear it." After this she went up stairs to her room, and divested herself of her bracelets, combs, &c., and when the family retired to rest, slipped quietly out of the house, and was never seen after alive. Upon her body was found a letter addressed to Parrott, where she had begun with several broken sentences, and saying, " Dear Jasper, I cannot stand this parting; no one can tell how I love you," She had never evinced any suicidal tendency, on the contrary she was always expressing her astonishment how persons could be so weak•minded that way. Her friends were not aware of the intensity of her attachment. What prayed upon her mind very heavily was the return of 10,3 to her by Parrott on the Monday night, which he had borrowed from her on the evening of the illuminations. The jury returned a verdict in accord ance with the testimony of the witnesses. COMMITTAL OFA SURGEON FOR CAUSING THE DEATH OF A LADY. LOWESTOFT, Saturday.—Yesterday an inquest was con cluded before the borough Coroner, touching the death of Mrs. Maly Ann Jeekels, the wife of a sail maker, of this place. The evidence was of the most horrifying nature, and the inquiry, which lasted several hours, excited the greatest in terest, and the room was densely crowded. It appeared from the evidence that the unfortunate deceased was taken in labour on the 29th nit, when she sent for Dr. Matchem , who attended her. When the pains of labour came on he attempted to deliver her, but believing that there was some difficulty about the birth, instead of using the forceps he made use of a table-spoon. The consequence was that he frightfully lacerated the lady to such an extent that inflammation and htemorrhage set in, from the effects of which she died. Dr. Worthington, one of tho medical men who were called in, stated that the death of the deceased was caused by the great violence which had been used, not only by the adoption of the table-spoon instead of the forceps, but by pressure or violence from without. From the post mortem examination which he had made, he was of opinion that there was not the slightest reason for using the instrument. Ho had never heard of the table-spoon being used before for such a purpose. When he made the post modem examination Dr. Webb was present. There was a wound two inches in length, extending upwards and backwards. There was also another large wound. On the left side there was also a severe wound. The woman was in the most frightful state from the treatment she had received. Dr. Webb, Lecturer on Anatomy, stated that the death of the unfortunate woman was caused by the violence used in the delivery, and more especially by the use of the table-spoon instead of the forceps. Instruments were not necessary. The wounds inflicted on the woman were of a nature as to entirely preclude any hope of her recovery. The Coroner havieg summed up, the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Dr. Matcham, and the Coroner ordered him (being present) to be at once conveyed to the county gaol. THE TALBOT DIVORCE CASE Sir,—Observing your notice of the letters on the con duct of • the Protestant clergy prominent in the above hideous business, I beg to point out to you that it is by keeping this case open the possibility of eventual justice is secured ; hence the advantage of its discus don. In addition, the universal conviction being that Mrs. Talbot is the victim of one of the most horrid and cruel conspiracies ever hatched, surely there is some pleasure in seeing the guilty wretch who planned, executed, or abetted it held up to merited execration i♦ Again, although the danger here I admit is small, if the conduct of Talbot is allowed to slumber, fancy the position of some unfortunate woman induced in ignorance, under the cover of marriage service, not to become his wife, that is impossible, but Mrs. Talbot's successor ! Let me Odd, lam an utter stranger to Mrs. Talbot or any of her family, and AN ENGLISHMAN. 4th Sept. 1856.—From the Waterford Mail. GAS AGITATION. TO THE ED/TOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—l have noticed that the pressure of gas on my burners has gone on increasing gradually for the last month. Can this be to create a dividend at the expense of the consumer, now that the chairman of the Newington Board says, with truth, "All is quiet outside ?" My bills are, in the meantime, no less than they were before the reduction in price took place, although I have not increased my lights. I was at Chester a few days since, and I found the consumers of that city com plaining loudly of excessive pressure, and high charges; and, it is hoped, both there and here, that you will again give your attention to the matter. Tho last Chester gas meeting was a n instructive affair, as you have no doubt observed.—Your obedient servant, Liverpool, S ept. 7 , 1856. LUMINOSITY.

Skirmisher " THREE WEEKS AFTER MARRIAGE.' On Saturday afternoon an inquest was held by Mr. W. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, at the Dover Castle, Rother !litho, on the body of George Butler, aged 32, a labourer, who committed suicide by drinking a large quantity of laudanum under the following painful circumstances : —From the evidence it appeared that for some years past, the deceased, who was an industrious sober man, had been paying his addresses to a young female, a servant in the employ of the landlord of the Dover Castle Tavern, but being unable to raise money enough to purchase any furniture, the marriage was from time to time postponed. About three weeks ago, however, from the repeated assurance of the young woman that they might manage to get some few articles to begin with, they were married, and it was agreed that they should live apart for some months. This 'seemed to prey very much on the deceased's mind, and on Thursday last he was found poisoned, with a small bottle labelled " poison." He had been heard to say that he could not live if he did not get a home for his wife. Verdict " Tom porary Insanity." _ COMMITTAL OF A SOLICITOR FOR FORGERY.

The greatest excitement prevailed in the town, from the fact that the case arose out of the celebrated cause, " Smith v. Winder," which has been so frequently before the public, and which was tried before the Chief Baron Pollock, at the last assizes at Guildford. Mr. Hutchinson, in opening the case for the prosecution, stated that the alleged/perjury took place at the recent assizes held in this town, in the cause of Smith v. Winder, in which ditlhiisset i ms n o e nd t , l i y aatni t nd h c a tA t lyi b r e .t f l o ys:a re tak t i h et e liwn b ag o i n hg d ei v w er a ne s aa, e si a verdict was recor d e d for the defendant.

The Chief Baron, in summing up to the jury, said it was very certain that one of the parties had been guilty of gross perjury, as in a case where £1,500 was concerned, the memory could not fail them. Which of the parties had done so, it was for the jury to decide. The jury returned a verdict for the the defendant, thus deciding that Mr. Smith was guilty of perjury. The bench fully committed Mr. Smith for trial, but admitted him to bail in the sum of £.2,009. EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER OF FIRES IN LONDON. On Sunday morning a tire broke out on the extensive pre mises of Mr. W. Stoneham, carriage builder, Bedford street, Upper Seymour street, Euston square. Several hours elapsed before the flames were subdued, and a considerable amount of property was consumed. Mr. Braidwood, in his report, says, " The harness makers' workshops, with their contents, were destroyed. The stabling and painters' shops burned down, and the stock of the latter consumed. The store rooms nearly destroyed. Building and contents insured in the Sun office. The origin of the fire is unknown." Another fire is also reported by Mr. Braidwood to have broken out on Sunday morning on the premises known as Rutland-wharf, Thames-street, tenanted by Messrs. Green and Sedgwick, corn.factors. Adjoining these were the spacious granary of Mr. James Smith, the latter being con tiguous to the immense flour mill of Messrs. Ponsford, White, and Co. A strong force from the various brigade stations was soon in attendance, as also was the steanrttoat from South wark-bridge. The warehouse of Messrs. Sedgwick and Green, containing some thousands of quarters of corn, was, however, nearly destroyed; insured in the Atlas, Phcenix, and Globe ofacea. A fire also occurred on Saturday night, on the premises of Mr. E. I3eetch, leather cloth manufacturer, Parson's Place, New Kent Road. After two hours hard labour the firemen got the fire subdued, but not until about £2,000 worth of property had been consumed. The damage done is thus reported by Mr. Braidwoosi to the insurance office :—" Four drying houses, about 180 feet long by sixty wide, nearly burned out; half of an engine -house destroyed."
