latter going about their daily avocations, j.ust as if the events of the last six months had never occurred. The measures which the Piedmontese commanders are adopt ing will, no doubt, soon put an end to this state of things, and have the effect of daily isolating more and more the stronghold of Gaeta, by intercepting all outward communications. The fall of this place cannot now come too soon. It will at once put an end to • a strife which on all hands is looked upon as useless, and offering not the very slightest chance of success. The entry of Victor Emmanuel into Napleswas positively announced to take place to-day (Wednesday). There was less activity on the Bourse yesterday than on the preceding day, and , Rente suffered a slight depreciation. It closed yesterday at 69f, 75c. GEN. LAIVIORICIERE AND THE ABUSES OF THE PAPAL ADMINISTRATION. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) RoME, Oct. 31, 1860. Cern Lamoriciere has presented to his Holiness the 'report which he prepared some time ago. 'lthough not exceeding the limits prescribed by bustom and courtesy, this report thoroughly embraces not only all that the General has done since his arrival in the Pontifical States, but the observations which he has put tooether upon the different branches of the administration: This latter pant of the subject has been tteated With great reServe, and has been incidentally alluded -to only so far as circumstances rendered it neces- Sexy to do so: The Gentlel has not hesitated to tell the Pope the truth. He has depicted, in energetic terms the Cowardice of some, and the treason of others. A portion of the Swiss have also come under his lash, and, in short, the General has expressed himself on every subject with characteristic mili tary frankness. After having listened to the report, his Holiness thanked his late Commander . in-Chief in the warmest manner, for his devotion to his cause, and for the services he had rendered it, and proposed to him that he should again lend his aid to the re-organisatidn of another army. " Impossible! " replied M. de Lamoriciere ; " Money, soldiers, every necessary element for this object is wanting ; and what is more," he added, "those whose duty it ought to be to give an impulse to the movement—your Holiness' Ministers—are not themselves agreed on the subject." Upon this the Pope asked the General's opinion what he had best do under such circumstances, to which the latter immediately replied, by saying that- the small army which his Holiness at present posses sed was a heavy charge on the Pontifical Treasury. that out of 4,000 or 5,000 veteran and able-bodied men, of whom the Minister of War has the dis posal, hardly 1,000 was in a state to enter the field ; and, therefore, that it would be better to get rid of these troops altogether, who were soldiers only in name, and form one or two regiments of young and valiant soldiers, who would serve as a guard to his Holiness. The Pope agreed with this view Of the matter, and forthwith gave orders for the disbanding of the present troops, and for the for- Mation of two new regiments, to be comprised as Much as possible of French and Belgians. There are at this moment only about 100 of these latter, and M. de Becdeli6vre has gone to look out for new recruits. It is expected that several of the soldiers who fought at Castelfidardo would be Willing to take service of new in the Papal army. Last Sunday it was intimated to these "Roman veterans" that they had been dissolved, and on the following day they presented themselves before Cardinal Antonelli, and urgently requested to be alloWed to continue in the Papal service. The cardinal informed them, in reply, that it was useless for them to persist in their demand, and that his Holiness had been obliged, for reasons of th e greatest importance, to send them away. Several Swiss soldiers, the debris of the battle of Castelfidardo, have arrived in Rome. They have been coldly received, and their services refused. Their comrades of the Swiss Papal Guard have clubbed together to defray the expenses of their` return to their own country. A propos of the Papal Guard, the Palatine Guard, composed in great part of the citizens of Rome, is not to be dissolved. The Franco-Belgian Guard, if its organisation be completed, will immediately take rank with it. M. de Lamoriciere, in his report of his inter view with the Pope, has given a flat denial to those journals and ultramontane writers who have upheld, through thick and thin, the Papal. Government, by blaming the administration in th e most open manner. " I give you carte blanche" said the Pope to him, " to reform every thing ;hat you please." " od forbid," replied the General, " that I should undertake such a task. I have enough of enemies already, and I have no need to increase the number. The General's report is published, but this step Was not taken until it had been carefully purged of all attacks upon the French policy. I may add, in conclusion, that there is an idea that the rope has been advised to convoke, a general touncil, to meet at Rome, in the hope that its decision may have some influence on the progress of events.

R ELIEF TO HOMEWARD BOUND SHIPS, 4 4 Admiralty notice states that her Majesty's AMUSEMENTS. *4 HENGLER'S GRAND CIRQUE. Since the opening, the circus has been crowded, as on the first night, and many persons have been disappointed every evening, consequent on not being able to gain admission. In order to meet the public appreciation of the performance, Mr. nengler is constantly producinc , novelties of an attractive description, and during the past week several additions have been made to the pro gramme. Feats of what people call juggling are looked on with wonder when performed on terra firma, but when seen to perfection, as performed by Mr, J. 11. Cook, at the circus, on the back of an almost flying steed, then wonder ceases, and we find a want of words to convey the feelings that predominate. F or th e l as t few evenings, Mr. Cook has exhibited the most amazing, yet pleasing performances, which is called the " Great Juggling Act;" but to our mind there is no juggling about it,"being the acme of dexterity, showing that man is capable of excelling on horseback as he is on land. Miss Cardoni is a pretty juvenile, and as fearless, yet graceful equestrienne as we have seen. Vie . bas already become a favourite. A couple of new names have - been added to the clown stock, and our old favourites Franks and Bibb appear to have imbibed something " telling," as their bits and fun are palpable and pointed. In addition to the aerial manege of the Brothers Berri, which is received every night with extraordinary en thusiasm, Mons. Oriel, on his crystal pyramid, is truly astounding ; and one, after witnessing this part of the entertainment, may well exclaim that there is nothing impossible to man. Mr. D. Richards, the king of American equestrians, shows what a horse can do, and what he can do on a horse ; and without exception, he has no equal in his role (if we may so say) and the applause which greets him is a proof of how much he is admired. Mr. Alfred Clarke performs some trernen- dous acts of leaping well worth seeing. A really amusing scene has been introduced in the shape of a steeple-chase, with the two comical ponies, having for jockeys two large and well-trained monkeys, " Mush apug" and "Jocko," and without offence to Newmarket or Epsom, the quadrupeds—both riders and ponies— create more hearty hilarity than could be met with on a " Derby day." The scenes in the circle follow fast and furious, and the " point of honour," as settled by Messrs. Franks and Bibb, is one of the best " points" of an evening. Other novelties are to follow ; and in all respects, the present promises to be a brilliant season. CLAYTON-HALL—MISS CLARA SEYTON. During the last ten years about one hundred indi viduals have appeared before the public, endeavouring in one person to represent many characters ; but, with few exceptions, failure has been the result. The last debutante in Liverpool, in this line, is Miss Clara Seyton, who has been performing at the Clayton during the past week, in a piece called the "Omnibus," but why or wherefore so called does not exactly appear ; yet, what's in a name? An Omnibus will do as well as any other designation, and in this " entertainment " Miss Seyton represents no less than a round dozen of characters, and these, with two or three exceptions, belonging to the home country. The lady comes to the northern metropolis, highly endorsed by the London press, but we always like to know the acceptor of a bill before trusting the endorser. In the first place Miss Seyton is a splendid figure, with face to match, and her eyes would almost light a pipe or split a pitcher Her voice is mellifluous, flexible and of considerable com pass ; but it is to be regretted that both in dialogue and song she loses much of what would be otherwise effective, by adopting the method so much and wisely condemned by Hamlet—" mouthing" it. It is a pity to find such a sweet voice so much injured by cacophony, when a little attention would remedy the defect. We trust these observations will be received in the spirit in tended, for what would be a fine passage in elocution, or charming in the cantata, is lost to the audience by the adoption of an unintelligible cadence. The greatest attraction in a speaker or singer, lies in the fact that the listener can h6ar what is said or sung distinctly; and as ladies are now taught Latin, we shall only say verb. sap. In her metamorphoses, Miss Seyton is quick, and, as far as dressing for the character goes, she is unequalled. The entertainment is ostensibly got up for the purpose of bringing before the public some of the most promingnt features of the characters to be met with in every day life (even in an omnibus), and in some of these Miss Seyton is excellent. In represent ing the " Hon. Caroline Harkaway," a dashing young lady r —in fact, a fast one—if the actress managed to throw a little more caloric into the manner, or perhaps rather the bye play, it would be one of the most inimi-' tably represented characters on the stage. Again, as "Sergeant Bellona Buckshot," of the Ladies' Rifle Corps, she is quite at home and attractive. As "John Lump," a Yorkshire rustic, she displays versatile talents, and her pronunciation of the dialect of the county is perfect. This is au amusing character, and the song which accompanies it, " There's worse-looking fellows than me," to the Irish air of "An Irishman's heart for the ladies," is given without the drawback which we mentioned, and proves that the lady is gifted with rare powers, and can be perfect by a little judici ous study. One of her best efforts, however, is in the character of " Matilda Hairbrain," a pet romp of an old uncle. In this she is nature in all its plenary force, and in its way nothing can surpass this representation of a full-blown moss rose, bouncing merry maid of Eng land. In the character of " Norah Maguire" (an Irish girl) Miss Seyton dresses (as she does in all the chaFac ters) to admiration, but she has to study yet a little ivenria Pvan an "Rngliab anaianna eal,a a rn osa ‘‘ share," along with the dimity as the true exponent of our fair Hibernian sisters. These are a few of the lead ing characters which Miss Seyton offers to the public, but she also holds the mirror up to nature as " Corne lius Niagara," a Virginian Corinthian, " Tom," Mrs. Bloomer (admirable and t ru thf u l) th e "Hon. Felix Popinjay," and several others, with a son• to each , so that plenty of value is g i ven for the price of admission. On the whole the entertainment can be well endured, and enjoyed for a couple of hours, and with a reformation of the defects which we have pointed out—and she can readily do that—we have no hesitation in saying that, Miss Seyton will become a first-class favourite with the people of Liverpool, and that the entertainment will rank amongst the most popular of its class. The hall has been well attended during the week, and we would advise our friends to see Miss Seyton this week. The songs, the words of which are chaste and appropriate, are either original or selected ; and all the original music of the entertainment is by Stephen Glover, one of the sweetest and most admired composers of the present era. The pianist, Mons. A. Sicard, renders ample justice to the music on a splendid instrument, of which of which he is quite a master hand. steam-sloop Spiteful has been ordered to proceed from Devonport to the Chops of the Channel to relieve the homeward bound trade ; also, that Admiral Stonford's squadron, about to sail from Plymouth, will render assistance to the trade if required.

"Urozgestionably the safest Guide to health.", WEST DERBY GUARDIANS. The usual weekly meeting of this board was held yesterday, at the Board-room, Mill-street, Everton.. Mr. Heyes presided. The other guardians present were Messrs. 11. Edwards, Roberts, Woods, Shaw, Medealf, Pilling, Jeffries, Abrahams, Webster, Roscoe, Mawtisley, Garrett, Smith, and Richmond. The master of the workhouse reported that the number in the house last week was 340, since when 29 had been admitted, and 10 discharged ; this week, 359. For the corresponding week of last year, there were 286, 5 of whom belonged to the Toxteth-park Union. The master of the hospital reported that the number of pauper patients in that establishment, was, last week, 25 ; this week, 21 • and for the corresponding week of last year, 118, which included the sick belonging to Tosteth-park. Cheques to the amount of £169 were voted for the maintenance of the out-door poor within the several districts of the township. THE WORHHOUSE The workhouse committee called the attention of the board to the enormous expense attending the keeping up the hospital establishment, and recommended that the workhouse should be so altered as to give accom modation there, so that the hospital might be disposed of.. At the present time there were only twenty patients in that place. Dr. Lister recommended that twelve of the patients, not fever cases, should be taken into the workhouse, and that a suitable place should be found for the remaining eight fever cases, which could be done at a much less expense ; and at a subsequent period of the meeting, Mr. Abrahams stated that he had received a note from Dr. Lister, to the effect that he had been looking at a suitable place, which could be had at £4O per annum. Mr. EDWARDS - The cost of this place is most enormous. The CLERK—It is about £1,400 per annum. Mr. EDWARDS said the cost of the maintenance of the staff of servants, with the interest on the £6,000 which the building cost, was absolutely disgraceful. It made the inmates of the place cost the ratepayers about 305 per head. He felt that the committee had treated the matter with a great deal of apathy. If they had treated the matter properly, they might have had the Workhouse so altered for about £l5O &hat it would have been ready to receive the sick. All that the Poor-law Board had complained of was the want of a dormitory for the boys. The fact was, that there Were more officers in the hospital than there were patients. Mr. PILLING exonerated the committee from the blame cast upon it by Mr. Edwards. Tile fact was, that the Poor-law Board had refused to sanction the plans, Mr. ROSCOE thought that the time had come when something should be done with the motion. Mr. GARRETT asked if it would not be advisable that the Poor-law Inspector should be invited to see it. After some further conversation, at the suggestion of Mr. Abrahams the matter. was referred to the special committee, with instructions that they should place the rejected plans before Mr. Culshaw, the architect, and see what could be done with the Workhouse so as to give the necessary accommodation for the sick poor. THE TAMPERING WITH THE BOOKS—ANOTHER SCENE BUT NO FIGHT. The clerk then read an official document from the Poor-law Board, relative to the resolution passed some few weeks since, on its being shown that some person had been altering the governor's book, with a view of showing that he was a defaulter to a considerable amount, by which it was prohibited that the books should be inspected by any guardian without the express sanction of the board. The Poor-law Board directed attention to several sections in Cie poor-law regu lations, which stipulated that the books should be kept in the custody of the officials, but must be submitted to the guardians at each meeting, and recommended that some steps should be taken so as to prevent such books being tampered with or altered, when not in the custody of such officers. Mr. JEFFRIES thought that something must be done. Were they to have a policeman to watch over the books while they were in the board-room ? They must do something for the protection of the governor. That the books' had been altered, there was no doubt from the letter from the board. If he knew who the man was who had done such an act, he would not sit at the board with him. By reports, some said it was this person, and some said it was another; but lie did not know who it was. It was the act of a murderer, a villain, a despicable thief. He used strong language, but the man who would be guilty of such an act deserved it, and he (Mr. Jeffries) should not think much of seeing a pistol put to the hole of his ear. It was done to injure the governor, and the man who would be g u ilty o f such an act would not mind stabbing him under the fifth rib in the dark. He would move that when the books were in that room there should be an officer to look after them, and see that they were not tampered with. Mr. Roscoe seconded the motion. Mr. WEBSTER would move that Mr. Jeffries look after the books. The Cxxiamikw—Then the motion before us is that an officer be present while the books are being examined. Mr. SMITH begged leave to second it. The CHAIRMAN — That has already been done. Mr. SHAW — If there is to be a police-officer present when the books are here, let there be one in the house from Monday morning until Saturday night. Let there be a policeman in the house all the week. The CHAIRMAN — It is not a police-officer, but one of the officers of the board. -Mr. SHAW thought that the books required to be looked after when not in that room. He had no doubt of where the alterations were made,—not in that room. Oat of doors there was but one opinion, and that was that the books were not altered in that room, but by the officers themselves. The CHAIRMAN—There is only one opinion out of doors, as to where it was done, and that was in this room, and by. a guardiau—(hear, hear,)—and he had never heard any other opinion expressed, except by Mr. Shaw. (Applause.) Mr. JEFFRIES—There is no doubt but it was done in this room. Mr. SHAW—Then why not meet my offer. I will put down £5. Let others do the same, and then a good reward can be offered ; and I believe it will soon be found out who done it. Mr. EDWARDS—What does your belief amount to ? (Laughter.) Mr. SHAW—You say you want to find it out. That is the only way to do it. Mr. WEBSTER could not see why they-should have an officer to watch over them. Mr. SHAW said he had been informed that the book keeper had taken the books home to his own house. He did not say it was true, but he had been told so. If it was so it was very improper. Mr. PILLING—The officers should be asked. That is easily proved. Mr. SHAW—I do not vouch for the truth of it, but I have been told so. Mr. WEns.rEn. The books could not have been altered in this room; there was not time for it. The CLERK—As they were altered, it could be done twenty times over. At the wish of the board, the governor and the book keeper were called into the room. The CruiamArr—Have you at any time taken the books home to your house ? The B OOK - KEEPER—No sir, never. The CRAiRmAx—Mr. Shaw, you are a most unfortu nate man. You are very fond of making charges against our officers, but there never is any truth in them. The GOVERNOR—Who is it that makes the charge ? Is there any charge against me ? The CHAIRMAN—No. The GOVERNOR—I do not alter my books. I can show my books when called up. It would be well if all other persons could do the same. -rne CLERK - --There - is no truth in any of his charges. Mr. EDWARDS—They are all false. The CLERK—It was dangerous for any person to be an officer to the board and liable to such charges being made. No man is safe. Mr. SHAW—I said I was told so. Mr. PILLING—Who told you ? Mr. SHAW—I shan't say (cries of oh, oh !) Mr. PILLING was ab ou t t o say that he had had an interview with Mr. Shaw, when— Mr. SHAW—You have no right to state it. Mr. EDWARDS—Has it reference to our officers. Mr. PILLING—It has. Mr. EDWARDS—Then you have a right to tell us. Mr. PILLING—I told him that if he knew anything about the officers he had a right to tell us. I move that he be requested to tell us now what he knows about them. ' [During the above conversation the board-room was in one continued state of noise *and confusion, to describe which would be an impossibility for the most graphic writer.] Several members having expressed their objection to have an officer present, the board divided, when four voted for the motion and six against it. It was therefore lost. The CHAIRMAN—I wish to know whether any guardian has the power to take extracts from the books. The CLERK—Not without the authority of the board. The CHAIRMAN—Then I hope to see that law carried into effect. (Hear, hear.) r.m.Seus Messrs. Pilling,t en offered r e t s o , a h n a d v e E a d w p r a i r v d a s t , e a i n n d t e r o v o i m e w . wi M th municate what he knew of the officer's conduct. Mr. PILLING—Do it openly, and then we can pay attention to it ; but we will have n o p riv ate communi cations. Afr ilie information SffAwlfl give yo ou. tell u ; yo u can do what you lik e with Several guardians expressed their concurrence in Mr. viewste board adjourned.ofthe matter; and the business being concluded, P iiins the FIRE ACCIDENTS.—About five o'clock yesterday after noon a fire broke out in the timber yard of Mr. Roberts, of Fox-street, but with the efficient aid of the Rose hill reel, which was quickly in attendance, the flames were soon extinguished, without any great loss of pro perty being occasioned thereby.—About noon, yesterday, an alarm was raised that the premises of Mr. Smith, manufacturer of nails, &c., Hanover-street, bad caught fire. On examination the report was found to he correct, and information was immediately conveyed to the fire station, when, without any delay, Mr. Hewitt, the super intendant of the fire brigade, hastened to the spot, and with the assistance of his men he soon got the West of England and Salthouse Dock reels, into action. In a brief space the fire, which had originated in a yard at the back of the warehouse, was completely subdued. The damage 'sustained is, we are happy to state, but trifling. Great praise is due to Mr. Hewitt for his indefatigable exertions on the occasion. COUNTY ConnT.—The only business of any import ance transacted i n th e court yesterday, was the hearing of the insolvent cases_, which occupied a considerable portion of the d a y ; but, with the exception of the fol lowing case, they were not of any public interest. — George Corbridge Holland, of 8, Haughton-terrace, Haughton-road, Birkenhead, but holding offices as an accountant and commission merchant, at 17, Hanover street! Liverpool, came up for hearing from prison. The insolvent, was supported by MI-. M'Onvine, in structed by Mr. Robert Anderson, and was opposed by Mr. Husband and Mr. Grey, on behalf of two retaining creditors. It appeared that the insolvent had formerly carried on business in partnership with a Mr. William Bate, but latterly conducted it by himself. His debts were £528 3s. 7d. ; credits, £l2 10s. and from the schedule it appeared that he owed 'dr. John Chubb, £45 3s. Bcl., and Mr. William Milner, £A2 16s. Bd. It was proved that the insolvent had obtained the goods from these creditors by fraud, :and afterwards pawned the articles. His Honour passed some very severe strictures on the conduct of the insolvent, and made an order for his committal for a period of two years from the time he came up for his final order, on the 22nd o f I September, 1860. THE DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1860. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.—TuEsDAY. (Before Mr. RAITLI33.) GOOD NEWS FOR siniEciDt. Three Unfortunate females Were brought up on a charge of fighting in'the streets. One is. rimed Mary Watson, or Harrison, and it was stated that she is the keeper of a very low house of ill repute, and on her, at the station, was found a purse containing £57 10s. in gold. Inspector Carlisle said there could be no doubt that the money was stolen from some one, and probably there would be a relied of a robbery in the course of the day. He asked for a remand of the three prisoners. The woman who had , the money, said it was her hard earning. The prisoners were remanded for further examination. ALMOST A FATAL ASSAULT. John Lunt was brought up on remand on the follow ing charge. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prisoner. It appeared that about three weeks since, the prisoner and his wife were fighting, when the injured man, Henry Smith, Went to separate them. The prisoner had 'a poker in his hand, and strack Smith a violent blow on the head, inflicting a desperate wound five inches long, and down to the bone. He has been in the Northern Hospital since, and now Surgeon Workman, of that establishment, said the man was much worse ; and although he did not expect he would die soon, yet he thought he would become delirious in a day or so, Under these circumstances the prisoner was remanded, and a magistrate attended at the hospital to take the depositions of Smith. CHARGE OV ASAAULT EV A rouentAN: Police officer George Taylor, (No. 5) was summoned by Mrs. Mason, the wife of Mr. Thomas Mason, beer house keeper, 10, Hampton-street, for having assaulted her. Mr. Cobb appeared for the complainant, and stated that cm the 29th October there was a man in Mr. Mason's house who created a disturbance and Mr. Mason w an t e d hi m t o go aw ay, b u t h e would not, and at last Mr. Mason put him into the street, and a. scuffle follovied, when both went down.; The officer came up, and Mr. Mason asked him to assist him, but instead of doine• so, the officer assaulted him, and took him by . the neck: tie and throttled him. The wife of Mr. Mason then came cut to assist her husband, when the officer struck her on the shoulder, caught her by the hair of the head, and dragged the hair off her head, twisted her arm, and otherwise illtreated her. Mrs. Mason was examined, and proved the case as opened by Mr. Cobb, and said—The officer caught me by the arm and twisted it severely. He struck me a violent blow on the shoulder, and pulled the hair out of my head. I don't think he was quite sober. There was no provocation whatever given to him. My husband was quite sober. Mr. Mason was examined and proved the same facts. Mr. Cobb: hid you know the policeman before ? I saw him and another man in the house bet*een 11 and 12 o'clock about a fortnight ago ; my wife was at her supper, and they said "Oh, there's to one here," and then the defendant asked the other officer "are_ you able to stand any ale ?" then they went out. Mr. Cobb; Then they wanted beer, but got none? SO it seems. Alice Rosker, who lives in the street. said—l saw the policeman hold Mr. Ifason by the throat until he was quite black in the face. I saw him strike Mrs. Mason on the face and pull her by the hair. Esther Carter proved the same facts. The defendant said Mr. MaSon was fighting with a man in the street, and when he came up to separate them he was assaulted by Mason, who was drunk. He was also assaulted by Mrs. 'Mason, who was drunk. also. He reported the ease next morn ing, aiid laid inforniations against both Mr. and Mrs. Mason for being drunk and assaulting him. Mrs. Mason tore his whistle away, and he did not get it since: James Munroe, 474, was called for the defence, and said—No. 5 told me he was assaulted by some one whom he did not know, who had gone into Mason's. We Went into the house and found Mr. and Mrs. Mason the worse of liquor, and much excited against the officer. He was going to take them into custody for having assaulted him, but I advised him as they were house keepers to summon them. Mason was decidedly drunk. A woman, named Jane Williams, was also produced for the defence, and she contradicted what was sworn to by the first witnesses. Mr. Cobb cross-examined the wit nesses, when Mr. Raffles said his impression was, from the evidence, that the officer was not to blame. Ile dismissed the complaint. CHARGE UNDER THE MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT. Mr. Tyndall appeared to prosecute a man named Joseph Formby, under the 203rd sect. of the Merchant Shipping Act, for having made a false declaration with the view of obtaining the goods of a deceased seaman. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and then Mr. Tyndall said he would use him as a witness against one James Wil son, under the following circumstances. Mr. Tyndall stated the case, from which it appeared that in Novem ber. 1859, a sailor named Cherry, sailed in a ship called the Lady Clarendon. for Calcutta. He had lodged with Formby, and the latter got his advance note, which was paid by Messrs. Houghton & Smith. Cherry died at Calcutta in March last, and under the 201st section of the act, Formby applied to the Board of Trade for the effects and wages due to Cherry, alleging that the deceased owed him £4 on an I 0 U. Aform was sent from the Board of Trade to be filled up by Formby, and this he got Wilson to fill up, as well as to write the I O'r in the name of Cherry, although that man could. not write. The drawing of the I 0 U, and the filling up of the document by Wilson, formed the offence under the act. Formby was examined and proved that Wil son had filled up the documents and drew the .I 0 U. Mr. Murphy, of the Local Marine Board, proved that Wilson admitted the filling up of the docu ments was in his handwriting, but denied he had written the I 0 U. This was admitted by the de fendant, who said Formby had a spite towards him about a sailor that he took, from his house. The clefe.ndant called Mr. Williams, late of the Sailor's Home, who said that Formby showed him the about eight' or ten weeks ago, but did not say who wrote it. Another witness, named Lavery, was called to disprove the charge, when Mr. Raffles said he could not convict on the evidence of Formby, and therefore he most dismiss the case. He thought an indictment shOuld have been prefered in the case, as there was so much doubt about it—the man wilt to have the benefit. of a jury. He dismissed the complaint. Mr. Tyndall then said he would leave the case of Formby, on his own plea of guilty, to be dealt with by his worship, but he would not press for punishment. Mr. Raises said he would be treating Formby very leniently by sending him to jail for two months with hard labour, which he did. (Before Messrs. SMITIL and CEoPPER•) ASSAULTING A FEMALE. Patrick Finnally, of Clement-street, was summoned by Mary Anne Johnston for having assaulted her. Mr. Cobb appeared for the complainant, and from his state ment and the evidence, it appeared that on the night of the 11th October the complainant was passing defendant's door, when he demanded some explanation of a " diffi-, culty " that had taken place in the morning with her and his wife, when he struck her and knocked her down, injuring her so much that she was not able to go out for a fortnight. The case was fully proved, and the defend ant was fined £3, or ono month's imprisonment. YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) A SOLDIER'S RETURN! John WArdel, a " bould soger boy," belonging to the 27th Regiment, charged an old woman, named Mary Flanagan, with having stolen his watch and £l4 from him. The complainant, no doubt, from his weather beatex appearance, had seen sieges, and encountered dangers by flood and field ; but at the same time, hi s intellectual exterior would not be taken as an indication of his being concerned in a pyrotechnic conspiracy to set the Mersey in ablaze—although he had gone through as much fire as would entitle, him to be called a Sala mander. He appeared to be half "muddled," and said, —I came into this town on the first of October, an d was robbed-of my watch and £l4 in that Nvinan's house, in St. Martin-street. She got my watch and gave it back to me next day. Mr. Raffies—What abaut the £l4 ? Her daughter took that from me. Mr. Raffles—But why charge the old woman for that ? Because the daughter robbed me of my £l4. Detective Cozens said the facts were, that on the Ist of October, the prosecutor and his brother came to town, and went' to the house of the prisoner in a state of utter intoxi cation, where they, with the old woman's daughter and: others, continued to drink all night. In the morning, the prisoner's daughter went away, and has not been seen since. The old woman got the watch, but gave it to the man in the morning. Mr. Raffles said the woman had no right to be brought there at all, and discharged her. The complainant looked " Armstrongs "at every one, and then rushed out of court. EMBEZZLEMENT . David Morrison Clarke, a clerk in the employment of Messrs. Frederick Carne and Co., warehousemen, Exchange Alley North, was brought up by detective officer Graham, on a charge of having embezzled certai n sums of money belonging to his employers. Thi s prisoner is the person who escaped on Monday, i n consequence of officer 850 having politely left him a t the door of the court. He was retaken on Tuesday night. Graham stated that he arrested the prisoner on Monday, at eleven o'clock, in Mr. Carne's office; on the charge, when he begged Mr. Caine not to prosecute, in consequence of his old mother and family. Th e officer got £8 on the person of the p risoner, and £l2 i n his des. Mr. Came stated that the prisoner was in his employment.some eighteen months or two years, and came to him with an exceedingly high character for honesty, and he therefore placed confidence in hi m. On Saturday he found that some accounts had been paid, but not entered in the books, and this raised hi s suspicions. The prisoner was not allowed to go out to receive or collect money, but he received money over the countet, and it was his duty to pay it over at on ce to him. Four or five persons were produced, who stated that they paid various amounts of money, from £9 to £l2, to the prisoner at the office, and produced his receipt for the sums so paid. Mr. Carne said the amounts were not paid o ver to him by the prisoner, nor , accounted f or by him. Mr. Raffles said there was quite enough of evidence to send the prisoner for trial. The prisoner said there was another person as bad as he was. Heves sent for trial, bail being refused for his appearance. Mr. Kehoe said the family of the prisoner would not suffer much by h is absence . He had two guineas a week salary, and yet he let his - wife go out charring to support his family, whilst he spent his money otherwise than in their support. IS A "DOG" "A THING." • James Searle, AC Cartwright-place, Byrom-street, was summoned by Colonel Smyth, of West Derby, for having a dog in nis possession that was stolen from him. Mr. Bremner appeared for the complainant and Mr. Cobb for the defence. This case was before the court last Wednesday, and a full report of it appeared in the Times of Thursday. Mr. Cobb then ra i sed an objection that a "dog" was not a "thing , " but now Mr. Raffles overruled the objection. Mr. Cobb then said the Btb and 9th Victoria, comm only called the " Bishop of Bond-street Act," overruled the local act in reference to dogs. Mr. Raffles decided this point against Mr. Cobb. Colonel Smyth was then examined and said, the dog was stolen about the second week in July ; his name was " Charley." Ile swore most positively that the dog now produced was his dog. In cross-examina tion Mr. Cobb asked the colonel if his servant had claimed another dog as his on the last day of hearing? The gallant colonel, in rather an indignant manner and with peculiar action, replied : I did not know until I got it in writing from that man. 'Mr. Cobb : What man ? Colonel Smith (angrily) : You're the man. Mr. Cobb : You must recollect sir, that I am as much a gentleman as you are, and th a t I am an advocate in s this court. Mr. Raffles : I will leave the bench, and; adjourn the case, if these observations are indulged in. Mr. Cobb : I hope, sir, . you will not allow Colonel Smyth to use such observations to me. Mr. Raffles : My observation applies to both gentle m en; to Colonel Smyth as well as to you. Some seven or eight witnesses were examined, and all swore the dog now prOduced belonged to Colonel Smyth. Mr. Cobb then made a long .speech for the defence, and. said he would produce another dog like, the one in dispute, and no one could distinguish between them. Here the two dogs were produced, and some said there 'as no difference bet Ween the heads, but that they were not alike in the legs. Some conversation took place, in whiCh M. Cobb, Co/orrel Smyth; and others took part, when on a sudden Mr. Cobb said to Colonel Smyth, I will not allow you to use .such langtiage to me, .whicli you dare not do outside of this court. Mr. Raffles : I really will not allow this to go onTYwill adjourn this case sine die if it is not allowed to go on regularly. Mr. Cobb : He applied the word "bully" to me, and I will not allow it. I hop, sir, you will not permit him to use such language to me. Mr. Raffles : I certainly will not allow such language in this court, and I trust the case will now proceed with regularity. Mr. Cobb then called several witnesses to show that the dog did not belong to Colonel Smyth, and that the defendant had purchased the dog long before the time that Colonel Smyth said the animal was stolen. His worship said he felt satisfied that *the dog was not properly accounted for by the defendant, and therefore he would fine him 5 and costs. Mr. Cobb : Then I give notice of appeal, arid let Searle make a demand for the dog, and I will bring an action against the colonel, Colonel Smyth: I don't care. Mr. Cobb I will make you care, (Before Messrs. S R. YErFERY and SMITH.) .101.1 N CURRIE'S ADZE!. John Currie, a young man, well dressed, was summoned h Miss Anna Maria Nash, keeper of a public-house in lorthumberland , street, Park, for having threatened to kill her: Mr. Cobb appeared for the complainant, and she said the defendant Was a cooper, and married her sister; but she was so badly treated that she (her sister) had to leave him and seek refuge in her house. On Sunday morning, the 28th October, the defendant, who was in liquor, came to the door with an adze in his hand, and after knocking at the door and creating a disturbance, she put her head mit of the Window, when he flourished the adze and swore a horrid oath he would divide her back-bone open with it and rip her up. Police= officer 218, who was present, stated that he heard the defendant use most horrible threats towards Miss Nash. The complainant said she was in fear of her life from the . defendant. The defendant was ordered to find two sureties in £lO each, and himself in £2O, to keep the peace, or to be imprisoned for two months. THE LIVERPOOL BURIAL BOARD. The usual monthly meeting of this board was held on Tuesday, at the offices, 12, Clayton-square,--Mr. J. R. jeffery presiding. The Rev. Rector Campbell and the following gentlemen were also present—Messrs. Cor bally, Bairstow, Jackson, ThOinton, and Baxter. The minutes of the last monthly and special meetings were read and confirmed, which amongst other proceed ings included the following correspondence, that had taken place between the Burial Board and the Walton Board of Health relative to a sewer the former board contemplated making through that township. TO TIIE LIVERPOOL EtTRIAL BOARD. Walton-on-the-11111, sth Oct., 1860. GENTLIOIEN, --I am directed by the board of surveyors for this township to transmit to you the following resolution, passed at their meeting on the 4th instant :—Moved by Mr. Arkle, seconded by Mr. Roberts, " That the application from the Burial Board to construct a sewer from Mere-lane to Walton-road for the present be refused, in consequence of the gross deception practised upon the committee in recently allow ing a public sewer to be constructed through the t )wnship of WELIton." Carried unanimously.—l am, i gentlemen, your obedient servant, Tsto'iAS EILJSECK, Assistant Overseer. TO TILE BOARD dr suarT:youS FOR TNg TOWNSHIP OF VrALToN. 12, Clayton-square, Liverpool, Oct. 9, 1860. GENTLEXIEN,—The executive committee of the Liverpool Burial Board have had before them this morning your com munication of October 5, accompanied by a resolution unani mously passed by your board, refusing permission to he Burial Board " to construct a sewer from Mere-lane to Walton-road," " in consequence of the grass deception practised on your com mittee in recently allowing .a public sewer to be constructed through the township of Walton. As the committee of the Burial Board are perfectly ignorant of the deception referred to. they request your board to favour them with an explana tion, and the reasdns for visiting upon the Burial Board the consequence of such deception. The refusal is surprising from the fact that your chairman, Mr. Garner, has hitherto pre ferred personal communicatios with the representatives of the Burial Board, and has led them to believe that no objec tion would be made to the construction of the said sewer. The Burial Board will derive no pecuniary advantage what ever from the proposed drain; on the contrary, it will be a costly work for them, available for your board, having for its object sanitary considerations exclusively. I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, S. B. JAcirsox, Chairman of the Executive Committee. The following resolution was passed at a special meeting of the board on the 16th October letter received from the Walton Board of Surveyors, containing their resolution on the outlet sewer, having been read, also the reply thereto by the chairman of the executive committee, it was resolved, "That' in consequence of this communication the board does forego making any outlet sewer in Mere or Spellow lanes for the present." The CFIATIOIAX—Tiave ''on received any further com munication from Walton ? The SURVEYOR—No. But at a subsequent period of the meeting he read a note from the clerk to the effect that the letter had been received and had been placed before the board, but that previously the Burial Board had abandoned its intention of making the sewer on the' grounds that it was not actually necessary at that time, and although it would have been a benefit to the pro perty in that neighbourhood, the board would save £2,000 without putting themselves to any inconvenience. THE EDGE-HILL AND BOOTLE RAILWAY. From the proceedings of the Executive Committee it appeared that several communications had taken place between the solicitor of the London and North-Western Railway, with reference to a proposed Branch Railway from Bootle to Edge-hill, which would intersect a portion of the New Cemetery, and that the board having sug gested a deviation from the plan proposed, the company had invited the attendance of the Law Clerk and the board to London, .on the 7th inst., for the purpose of Coming to some amicable arrangement, and that the 'Committee had instructed such officers to proceed forth with. Mr. J. S. JACKSON, in moving the confirmation of the proceedings of the committee, said he was happy to find that the board, through the exertions of the law clerk, had obtained possession of nearly all the land. Mr. Johnson's had already been secured, as he had given it up, and Mr. Harrison had agreed to give his up on a very early day without compensation. They would also observe that the committee had been unfortunately prevented from proceeding further ; indeed they had been stopped at the commencement of the works, by an intimation that the London and North Western Railway were about to construct a railway, which would intersect a portion of the cemetery. Thus they might be prevented from proceeding with the boundary wall, and also with the sale of the cot tages upon the land. These proceedings, i n f ac t, bad completely caused a stagnation to the works. He (Mr. Jackson) had waited upon Mr. Stewart in respect to the Land Tax, and that gentleman had recommen ded that a clause should be inserted in any bill they might apply for to include a provision for the commutation of tithes ; and the committee had instructed the Law C lerk to give the necessary notices for the application to Par liament, and to take the responsibility of the proceed ings, in order to carry out the resolutions passed at the Special Vestry. They had been taken aback by the communication from the Commissioners of Sewers for Walton, which refused the board the permission to make a sewer. The committee had considered the subject, and a s they did not consider it actually necessary. although it would have been desirable, had abandoned it. He concluded by moving the confirmation of the proceedings. The CHAIRMAN-Then we shall save tilt expenditure of about £2,040. It .would have been a enefit to the Sewer Commissioners more than to the board. Mr. JACKSON — Exactly so. Mr. Corbally seconded the adoption of the proceedings. After a brief conversation on some routine points the proceedings were confirmed. The CHAIRMAN said it was necessary, as the proceed ings had been confirmed, that there should be two substantive motions placed on the record of the proceed ings, —one authorising the treasurer to pay the bill s which had passed, and the other to confer upon the Law Clerk the power of giving the necessary notices to Par liament to carry out the resolutions of the Vestry. These . resolutions were then formally moved and adopted. On the motion of Mr. Jackson, seconded by Mr. Thornley, a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Robertson Gladstone for having acted as treasurer, and for the statement of accounts he had rendered. It was also decided that in future the meetings of that board should he held on the first Monday in every month, at ten o'clock. The CHAIRMAN announced that the board had saved £B2 in paying a fixed sum for the raising of the loan of £23,000, instead of a commission. It baying been decided tha t the Chairman or the Deputy-Chairman should affix th e seal of the board on the deed for the above loan, the board adjourned. GROSS JOBBERY OF THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY DIRECTORS. MR. H. C. CHAPMAN'S REVELATIONS. A crowded meeting of the share and bondholders of the Canada Grand Trunk Railway Company was held : at the Clarendon rooms, yesterday afternoon, for the ; Purpose of hearing from Mr. H. C. Chapman, of this town, who has lately visited Canada, an explanation of the charges which he has preferred to the London Board Uzainst the Canadian directors of the company. Mr. T. Edwards Moss, banker, occupied the chair. Mr. CrrarmAN having drawn u.p his statement in the form of a report, and it was principally intended to impugn the polipy of Mr. Blackwell, the present general manager of the Grand Trun k Company's affairs in Canada, and of the Canadian Board. Mr. Chapman asserted and quoted local Canadian newspapers and other publications in support of his opinion, that the Grand Trunk Railivay, though capable of immense and most profitable development, had not been managed as a commercial speculation, but had. been used as a means of gross political competition, that the tariff of rates were fixed so high as, instead of being calculated to attract traffic, positively prohibited it from " trespassing" upon the line ; that contracts, instead of being given on the ground of merit and necessity, had been granted as the price of political services ; that the board. in London had been grossly imposed upon by the Canadian directors ; that the people of Canada pro nounced the Grand Trunk Railway, a political fraud ; and that nothing would restore their confidence but a complete reorganisation of the management by the English shareholders, upon a strictly commercial, and, he might add, on his own account, a postal subsidy of— say £25,000 per annum. (Applause.) Upon the motion of the Rev. Mr. Stuart, of Rainhill, seconded by Mr. J. Owens Johnson, a vote of thanks was passed by acclammation to Mr. Chapman for his important communication. Various resolutions were proposed as to the course to be adopted, and much discussion ensued. Ultimately, upon the motion of Mr. Miller, of Edin burgh, seconded by Mr. George H. Lawrence, of Liver pool, the following resolution was adopted unanimously, —" That a committee of five members be appointed to make a searching investigation into the present state of the company ; to co-operate with the London and other committees ; and to suggest and r e p ort mean s for re organising th e e nti r e management of the company in Canada ; and pending their action and re p or t this meet ing deprec a t es an y l ega l proceedings on the part of any share or bondholders." r. Upon the motion of Mr. Taunton, seconded by M _e Maxwell Hyslop, the committee were appointed follows :—Mr. T. Edwards Moss, banker, Liverpool Mß Messrs. William Fenton, banker, Ro chdale ; and S. J. Arnold, RObert Dagleis h, j unior, and George M'Corquodale,. merchants, Liverpool. The Times correspondent at Rome says, th e F renc h army at Rome is very Italian in its sympathies. DEATH OF SIR CHARLES NAPIER. We yesterday announced that Vice-Admiral Sir Chas. Napier, K.C.8., G.C.T.S., K.M.T.; K.S.G., K.R.E., and M.P., died at his residence at Merchistoun Hall, at 5.40 on Tuesday morning. The dece ase d was th e e ld es t son o f the Hon. Charlea Napier, of Merchistoun Hall, in the county of Stirling, and gteudson of Francis, fifth Lord Napier. He was born on the 6th of March, 1786, at the hose of his father, and entered the Royal Navy in 1799 as a first-class volunteer on board the Martin sloop . of-'war; Captain the Hon. Matthew St. Clair, employed in the North gees ReMoved, in the early part of the ensuing year, tel the Renown, 74, the flagship of Sir John Borlase Warren, he accompanied an expedition to Forrel, and afterwards to the Tdediterraneane where, in November, 1802, he became midshipman of the Grey hound, 32, Captain William Hoste. On his return from a visit to St. Helena in the Egyptiextne, he joined succes sively in 1804-5 the Mediator and Renommee frigatei. In 1805 he was appointed Lieutenant of the Coisrageusi, 74, which formed part of the squadron under Sir J. B. Warren at the capture, in 1806, of the Marengo, 80, the flag-ship of Admiral Lionis, and the Belle Pose frigate, 40; and in March, 1807, being then in the West Indies in the Prince George, 98, was nominated acting-com mander of the Pultusk brig ; to which vessel he was confirmed on the 30th of November following. On the 17th of July ‘ , 1868, having been present at the reduction of the D an i s h i s l an d s , St. Thomas and St. Croix , he assisted, in the boats of the Fawn sloop, in Eire cutting out of a Spanish merchantman lying at Puerta Rico under the protection of two batteries; the guns of one of which he spiked. In August of the same year he commanded the Recruit brig of ,18 guns, in which he fought a smart actiOn with the Diligeate, a French corvette of 22 guns; svhich, after he had had his main mast shot away, many of his carronades dismounted, some of his men killed and himself wounded, he suc ceeded in putting to flight. On this`occasion, although his thigh was broken by a shot, he refused to leave the deck until the enemy was out of sight. In Vebrnary, 1809, he assisted at the reduction of Martinique, where he gained considerable distinctiou, and shortened the duration of the siege by the manner in which, 'with only five men, he scaled the Walls, and in open day planted the Union Jack upon the raniparts of, Fort Edward. In the ensuing April he assisted gir Alexander Cochrane in a chase of three French ships-of-the-line, which lasted upwards of two days, and which terminated in the capture of the Haupolt, 74. On thiS occasion he signalised himself by the closeness with which he stuck to the enemy, and shot away their masts and rigging, although fired at from their stern-chasers. For his services in this affair the Commander-in-Chief posted him on the spot ; an appointment which was confirmed by the Admiralty on the 22nd of May, 1809. In the ensuing summer Captain Napier returned home in the Jason frigate, and did not go afloat again until 1811, in the early part of which year he was appointed to the Thames, 32. On the 26th of July following, in concert with Captain Augustus Clifford (now Usher of the Black Rod); he silenced the fire of eleven gunboats and a felucca moored across the harbour of Porto del Infreschi, as well as that of a round tower; and captured fourteen merchantmen and a quantity of spars destined for a ship-of-the-line, and a frigate. On the Ist of November, 1811, in command of his own boats and those of the Imperieuse, he landed with two handfed and fifty men of the 62nd Regiment at the back of the harbour of Palinuro, and carried the neighbouring heights under a heavy fire from the enemy; who, having vainly en deavoured.to regain their position, were compelled to retire. The next day he succeeded in capturing ten gunboats, twenty-two richly-laded feluccas ' and the battery of 24-pounders by which they had been pit's, tected. His intrepidity in this affair obtained the sin e qualified approbation of Sir Edward Pellew, the corn marider-in-chief of the station. On the 14th of May, 1812, he attacked the port of Sapri; took twenty-eight ships laden with oil; and, supported by the Pilot sloop, compelled a strong battery andstower to surrender at discretion. On the 26th of February, in concert with the Furieuse, 36, and having on board the second bat talion of the 10th Regiment, he took possession of the island of Ponza, whilst exposed to the fire of four batteries mounting 10, 24, and 18-pou n d ers , t wo I 12-pounders, and two nine-inch mortars. On the 16th May, 1813, he captured La Fortune, xebeque, carrying two long 9-pounders and four swivels, along with twenty merchant vessels, lying in Cavalarie-road. In the ensuing winter he drove on shore the Balleine F renc h store-ship of twenty-two guns and one hundred and twenty men ; and compelled a gaberre of thirty guns and one hundred and fifty men to seek refuge under the land batteries. He sailed shortly afterwards with a squadron under Captain Andrew King for North America, where he took part in the brilliant expedition against Alexandria; with such effect that Captain J. A. Gordoa, the conducting officer, declared, in his des patches, that "he owed him more than he was able to express." In the subsequent operations against Balti more, Captain Napier, having a division of boats under his orders, rendered good service in causing a diversion which favoured the assault upon the enemy's entrenched camp on the opposite side of the city. In June, 1815, his ship, the Euryalus, was paid off, and on the 4th of that mouth her gallant commander was nominated a C.B. He was called into active service again until the Bth January, 1822, when he was employed on particular service on the coast of Portugal in the Galatea, 42. The object of his mission appears to have been to obtain restitution from Dons Miguel of certain British ships, which had been seized upon a pretext wholly unjustifi able -off the *Western Islands. Of his services on the Portuguese coast, on the part of this country and on that of the Constitutional Government of 'Portugal, Captain Napier, who has always held the pen of a ready writer, has given a detailed account in his "history of the War of Succession in Portugal." It appears -that in 1831, fresh insults having been offered to England and France by the Miguelite Government, the former despatched a naval force to the Tagus, and obtained redress. All evnenefe was, however, refused to the French, until a squadron forced the river, dictated terms to the usurper, and deprived him of several of his ships. A frigate was also sent to the 'Western Islands, which captured two Portuguese corvettes,on that station. Great exertions were made at Terceira after these events to equip an expedition. Two small schooners were armed, forced loans raised, church bells melted down and converted into money, and every expedient was resorted to to provide for the emergency and extend the queen's authority over the Azorean archipelago . After an interview with the Marquis Palmella, Captain Napier proceeded to Fayal, where he found the governor and garrison in great alarm, and learned that D,om Pedro had abdicated the imperial crown of the Brazils, and was on his way to Portugal. Captain Napier published his opinion, that the only way to settle the Portuguese question was to dash right up the Tagus and carry the capital by storm. Soon after the capture of the islands, measures were concerted for attacking i the naval forces . of Dom Miguel in the Tagus. Two indifferent frigates' were piirchased and fitted out, so far as 'the Foreign., Enlistment Bill would permit, in the Thames. Captain Sartorius had volunteered to command the expedition, and, accompanied by several British naval officers, had proceeded to Belleisle to complete the equipment of his squadron. The Emperor embarked on board the Rainha on the 10th of February, and arrived at St. Michael's - on the 22nd. Colonel Hodges, Who commanded the. British auxiliary force, accompanied Dom Pedro; and the Donna Maria and several vessels laden with stores followed. On the retirement, or rather dismissal, of Sartorius from the command of the Portuguese fleet, it was offered to and accepted by Napier ; and, in spite of the great, difficulties by which he was surrounded, he soon managed to give good account of the enemy. On the 3rd of July, 1833, he sighted the Miguelite fleet,' consisting of two line-of-battle ships, two frigates, three heavy corvettes, two brigs, and a xebeque ; and decided; at once upon engaging it. Everything depended upon the issue of the contest, which appears to have been most severe. The. Miguelites reserved their fire until within musket-shot, when they blazed away in right earnest, but without doing any serious damage. The Constitu tionalists then returned their fire ; and the Rainha having been laid alongside the Don John, Captain Napier boarded her with the utmost impetuosity. " I had not intended to board," says he, " having enough to do to look after the squadron ; but the' excitement was too great, and I soon foetid myself on the enemy's forecastle, supported by one or two of my officers. There paused, until several men jumping on board we rushed aft with a loud cheer, and passed through a party drawn up on the break of the quarter-deck to oppose us. At this moment 'I received a severe blow from a crowbar, the owner of which did not escape unscathed." In a few minutes the battle terminated altogether in favour of the Constitutional forces ; leaving in their possession two ships of the line, mounting eighty and. seventy-six guns ; with four 48- pounders for throwing shells one frigate, and a corvette of 18 guns ; two corvettes and two brigs having escaped. The loss of the Pedroite squadron was about ninety men killed and wounded; that of the enemy being two and three hundred. By midnight the prizes were manned, their crews secured, and after a hard day's work Napier's squadron was in full sail for Lagos Bay. For this important service Dom Pedro conferred upon him the title of Viscount Capo San Vicente, and appointed him Admiral-in -Chief of the Portuguese fleet. ,f‘ All this," says Napier, in his own account of the affair, " was very gratifying •, but I should have preferred that the title had been let alone." Throughout the whole of this war he appears to have conducted himself with signal valour and decision, and to have exhibited in a high degree important qualifications for command for which the world had not hitherto given him credit. Besides the civil and naval honours conferred upon him, Dom Pedro gave Napier the Grand Cross of the Tower and Sword, and thanked him personally, with great fervour, -for having "placed the queen upon the throne." Dis gusted by the treatment he afterwards experienced from the Portuguese Government, and the reduction of the naval force under his command, Napier turned his back upon Portugal, and became once more a candidate for employment at home. This he was not long ing. On the Ist of January, 1839, he was appointed to the command of the Powerful, 84, fitting for the Medi terranean, in which ship he hoisted, in 1840, his broad pennant as Commodore, and became second in command, under Sir Robert Stopford, of the fleet employed on the coast of Syria. On the 10th of September of that year in obtain he effected a landing at D'Journie, at the head of fifteen hundred Turks and'British marines, and in this his first operation on the Syrian coast displayed such rtd he from his admiral. In the course of the same monthaccordance R zeal and energy as to elicit warm commendationsi defeated a body of men at Kilbson, and in t red, with a plan which lie' had previously bom barded and stormed the town of Sidon, protected by two fort and citadel, and a line of wall . manned garrison thousand seven hundred soldiers ; takingnow appointed niaa by a prisoners. On the 9th of October, Napier, now ha which occupied a commanded by Ibrahim Pac „ Jolatiieoadin of old ; strong Be rout. The eccentric position among the mountains of CommodoreY on the battlefields a Commodore, obtained a signal success over . a force appearance of the gallant of Syria was oftenwith a large straw followers. Seated upon a donkey formidable bludgeon in his hand, hat upen his head, a form o f n n t nin e 1' merriment to his and his doe- Pow scamperingtthe attack with the chival roushis.' side, he led his sourceo by dalthough• must mus be courage of a Pa "tracks" and confessed that in personal appearance he did not much resemble one. The result of the promptitude with I was the surrender of which he attacked the enemyS 1 . P ha J ari d the submission of man ac Beyrout an y. Within a month from the date of his arrival on the the u-hole of the Lebanon had been freed from its coas t, no twithstanding that his small force had invaders, and notwi dimin• hed in numbers one-half, he managed to capture u pwards of five thousand prisoners. We cannot follow him t h r oughout the events of his Syrian campai g n, and it is the less necessary so to do, seeing that he has been himself the chronicler 'of its glories, and has not'for- gotten to place himself and his services in full promi nence before the public. On the 2nd November, 1840, the Commodore assisted at the sie g e of Xere, under the comntrmi Sir Robt. Stopford, but speaks of the affair himself as if there had been no such person as Sir Robert in existence! Wita some few drawbacks, folly redeemed by his subsequent perfornmnces, Commodore Napier :s services in Syria were of the most dashing and distin guished character, and were attended with great benefit to the civilised world. Both in land, aY well as sea operations, he proved himself thoroughly up' to his work. After the reduction of Acre, the Comma/ore proceeded to take charge of the squadron off Alexandria, where he concluded an advantageous convention with Mehemet Ali, In acknowledgment of these really important services he was created a Knight Commander of the Bath on the 4th December, 1840. He was also included in the thanks of Parliament to the Commander in-Chief and his subordinates and was presented by the Emperors of Austria and Russia and the King of PruSsia with the Cross of Maria Theresa of Austria, the crass of St. George of Russia, and the insignia of the second class of the Order .of the Red Eagle of Prussia. In the spring of 184'1 he returned to England, and on the 30th November of that year was appointed one of the naval aides-de-camp to het Majesty. He had already been awa r d e d (January, 1837) die captains' good service pension. He was also appointed &al.-Admiral of the Blue, and held for two years the command of the Channel Fleet, with his flag on board the St. Vincent,. 120. During this service he had, unfortunately, abundant leisure for newspaper controversy, and for teaching First Lords how to perform then : duties. He accord ingly set to work to collect all the caustic letters on naval reform with which he had edified the pu blic through the Sun and Times nets- 6 pvers d ur i n o.the previous thirty years, and published the m in 1851, with a long. and vain-glorious preface from his own pen. To this was prefixed an introduction, couched in somewhat severe language, from the pen of his cousin, Major-General W. Napier (the author of " The History of the Peninsular War," and some hundreds of declamatory letters in the Times and elsewhere,) in which he speaks of the "effrontery of Lord Grey," the stoli& ness of Lord John Russell," and the " utter groundless ness of his charges against Sir Charles." In this volume, which is. entitled "The Navy; its Past and Present State," the gallant Admiral has fired a series of broad sides in the shape of letters, some of them sufficiently caustic, at the late Lord Melville, the Duke of Clarence, Lotd Althcrp, the Duke of Wellington, Sir J. Graham, the Earl of Minto, Lord Melbourne, Lord John Russell, Lord tfleriborough, Lord Palmerston, the late Sir Robt. Peel, and the editor of the Times; of most of whom, to apply the nautical shibboleth, "he gives a good account." Anxious, it may be presumed, to give the Commodore something better to do than write "insubordinate" let ters to his superior officers (all suggestions for adminis trative reform are considered insubordinatk in high places), the Admiralty nominated him, in 1847, in suc cession to Sir. William Parker. to the command of the Channel Fleet. This appointment he held for two years. But on the accession of Sir Francis Baring to the head of the Admiralty he was superseded in his post. Highly indignant at such treatment, and at the marked disregard by the Admiralty of many of his suggestions, he brought a Lancaster gun, in the shape of a final letter to Lord John Russell, to bear upon the Government, which greatly widened the breach that already existed between him and it. It is hardly possible to conceive any com position more entirely vain-glorious than this epistle. A few paragraphs from it will afford some notion of its character. " Had I not displayed energy and boldness, the probability is that this country would have been involved in war, and our foreign policy overthrown." " I dethroned Don Miguel. Had the battle of Cape St. Vincent been lost, Don Miguel would have been on the throne of Portugal, the dynasty of Louis Philippe shaken to its centre, and most probably Lord Grey's administration." " I upset the Grand Prince of the Lebanon ' the ally of Mehemet Ali • defeated Mehemet's son, and drove his troops out of the mountain." "My services are unsurpassed by those of any admiral on the list. I think I may say, without fear of contradiction, that they have had more influence on the state of Europe than those of any other officer in the navy." " The battle of Cape St. Vincent changed a dynasty as well as the whole political face of Europe." " I served as second in command at Acre." " I fought on the heights of Lebanon two battles, and gained them both." "I stormed Sidon, and took the garrison prisoners." But for his exploits, the gallant Bombastes assures us that "the Syrian expedition would have failed; Acre would not have been attacked ; war with France would have been inevitable ; our policy overthrown, and with it the Melbourne administration." Lord John Russell, in reply to all this braggadocio, declared that, although far from disputing the value of his services, he could , not place in him that implicit confidence which was required in a successor to Sir William Parker. The command of the Mediterranean Fleet was accordingly given to Vice-Admiral Deans Dundas, and Sir Charles Napier was put for a time upon the shelf. On the first indication of the probability of a war with Russia, Napier had so familiarised the mind of the public to a belief in his own estimate of his unrivalled heroism and irresistible decision of character, that the Admiralty appears to have had no alternative but to appoint him to the command of the Baltic fleet. He. talked it well, and promised to perform miracles. He had under his command the finest ships that ever left the shores of this or any other country ; unlimited power • and the confidence of the nation at large. At a public dinner given to hini on the occasion of his appointment, he is said to have declared that he would take Cronstadt in a month, or go to a place " not to be mentioned to ears polite." He vowed that if he did not find war declared by the time he got out, he would " declare it himself !" Soon after he lost sight of Spithead he telegraphed to his crews "to sharpen their cutlasses," and promised on their behalf " a good account of the Russians !" As an earnest of what he meant to do, he signalled for large quantities of chloroform, in anticipation of the frightful operations his valour would render indispensable ; and after bobbing about from port to port for several months, rode off upon the trumpery affair of Bomar sund ; declaring that the granite walls of Cronstadt, Sweaborg, and Helsingfors were impregnable ! He, however, brought home his fleet in safety and good order ; but for any : result of importance beyond the blockade, it might just as well have remained at Spit head. Admiral Napier was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral of the Blue in 1846; Vice-Admiral of the Blue in 1853; Vice-Admiral of the White in June, 1855 and Vice-Admiral of the Red in 1857. Sir Charles Napier has been a great politician in his time. In 1832 and 1837 he contested successively the boroughs of Portsmouth and Greenwich, and in 1841 was returned to Parliament for Marylebone. He has been a perpetual thorn in the sides of successive ministers of state ; always in his place in the House ; present at every division, and oftener addressing the House than any other member whatever. At the election for Marylebone, caused by the death of Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, Sir Charles was readily induced to stand; but the Admiralty, having a wholesome dread of his presence in the House of Conimons, managed to detain him in the Baltic until the ,contest was over. In November, 1855, on the death of Sir W. Moleswortb, he was elected for Southwark ; and at the dissolution in 1857 was once more sent to the House of Commons. Sir Charles Napier married the widow of Edward Elers, Esq., R.N., whose son perished whilst in command of the Avenger steam-frigate, when she was wrecked on the Sorelle Reeks in the Mediter ranean. Sir Charles has left only one child, a daughter. Nothing definite has yet been settled in reference to Sir Charles Napier's successor in the representation. of ,Southwark. There have been several names brought forward for consideration. At present the favourite amongst the leading Radicals is Mr. Wakley, who, for some years, represented Finsbury, but no comnaunica tion has been made to him on the subject; and it is doubtful whether he would risk a contest. Amongst the names freely mentioned are those of Mr. Pilcher, a Liberal-Conservative, Mr. Edward Miall, formerly M.P. for Rochdale, and General Thompson. ST. MARTIN'S YOUNG, iVIRN'S SOCIETY.—We are glad to have an opportunity of directing attention to the above society, as one of a class of institutions which are calculated to prove of so much substantial importance to young men, during the winter season especially. We observe from our advertising columns, that it has been proposed to have 'a tea party this evening in con nection with this society, in St. Martin's Schoolroom, .New Blenheim-street, when addresses will be delivered .by several clergymen and other gentlemen who have interested themselves in the objects of the association, and a selection of glees and madrigals will be sung by the young men and their friends at different periods of the evening. We understand that the society, which has now been in existence for some time, was originally formed with the aim of keeping up the connection of the young men who had been educated at St. Martin's School with the clergy aad their school teachers, after they bad obtained situations, and entered upon the duties of life on their own account. The members appoint a secretary of their own, and hold conversational meetings o nce a week, at which papers on a variety of interesting subjects are from time to time read by themselves and others. The general superintendence of the society is cared for by the clergy of the district ; and we are assured that much benefit has been found to accrue to the young men from the favourable opportunities which are thus afforded them of spending an evening weekly in so interesting and profitable a manner. As it appears to be the design of the present meeting to make the objects of the society more widely known, we cannot hut wish the promoters of the meeting every success in doing so. TRANMERE LOCAL _BOARD or HEALTH.,---011 TU.Cday evening this board held its usual monthly meeting. Mr. W. Perrey in the chair ; the other members present were, Messrs. Guy, Liversidge, Dalby, Lee, Cumming, Hitchmough, Peters, Williams, Morecroft, Searle, and Mudie. The chairman, in moving the confirmation of the proceedings of the last monthly meeting, complained that, with regard to the purchase of 5000 yards of land for the. reservoir in connection with the waterworks, there had been a want of courtesy exhibited by the hoard in not consultinm him on the subject. Mr. Live.- sidge briefly explained, remarking that the committee pursued the only course they could in the matter. The proceedings were then confirmed, and the minutes of the finance committee were afterwards read and adopted. It appeared from the minutes of the water committee that Messrs. Liversidge, Webbs, and Peters had been appointed a sub-committee for the negotiation of loans and other matters of inance. Mr. Stewart had offered the site of the " Old Lad's Croft," in Higher Tranmere, for the reservoir, on the] following terms :-Ist, £l7O for the cottage and garden ; 2nd, 5000 square yards of land at 3s. per yard, ; 3rd, a road of ten yards wide to to be given to Mr. Stewart up the centre of the property, the road to be made and sewered by the board ; 4th, the board to pay gio towards the tenant's goodwill for going out. The committee agreed to accept these terms, except with regard to the last clause, and at a subse quent meeting of the committee the contract for the purchase was signed by the five members present, the chairman of the board, ' who was present ex officio, alone declining to sign the contract.--The law-clerk had given notice to the Wirral Waterworks Company that the board were prepared to purchase the pipes and mains laid down in the township at the prices given in a table supplied by Mr. Rawlinson.—ln consequence of Mr. Richardson, the surveyor, having been appointed resi dent engineer to the waterworks, it was recommended that his salary be increased to £250 per annum, and that an assistant overseer be appointed at £3O per annum. The proceedings of the committee were then confirmed. The health committee recommended the board to incur an expense of £3O in deepening the sewers in T ranmere-park, made by the proprietors in that district, in order to carry off the sewage of Mill lane and Yolk-of_Egg_lane it was agreed to defer the matter for further consideration.

The indefatigable exertions of Mr. Topham, to render• this meeting worthy of support, has met with tolerably fair success, if we may judge from the character of the sport yesterday. The weather being fine, there was a good muster of the "talent." • They, however, again: met with their late ill-luck, as the favourites won in almost every race. The spent commenced with the Aintree Plate, for which nine put in an appearance. Gibraltar was made a great favourite, 6 to 2 being laid freely on him ; and he fully justified the confidence of his backers by land ing the stake, with four lengths in hand. For the All-aged Selling Stakes, the five that were entered, appeared at the post. Ladylike had it all her own way,. from beginning to end, and won in a canter by four lengths ; her sale realising 140 guineas to the racing fund. Only six contested the Knowsley Nursery Han dicap, which fell to The lot of Nutbush, after a good race. The Croxteth Welter Cup brought out a field of eight, the favourite, First Lord, winning easily. In the Juvenile Stakes, Yorkminster came to the assistance of the fielders, by upsetting Glen Stewart and Lady Ripon, both of whom were backed with great spirit; and Buicephalus wound up the afternoon's racing by win ning the Handicap Hurdle Race, almost without an effort. Particulars of the sport are appended below. The Aintree Nate (Handicap) of 50sors. for all ages.

GEORGE'S-HALL.—This grand Fancy Fair and Bazaar was again very well attended yesterday, and the receipts amounted to the handsome sum of £B5O. We understand that the objects of the establishment, for the assistance of which the bazaar is held,. have met, in other respects with a large . share of public favour, and. that considerable subscriptions have been received towards the funds of the institution from some of our principal citizens. LOCAL TEA PARTY.—Last night a meeting of the SL Paul's Church of England Working Men's Society took place in the schools attached to St. Paul's Church, Birkenhead. A substantial tea was provided for a large number of persons, comprising the members of the society and several of their friends. The adjuncts of the tea-table having been removed, eloquent and appropriate addresses were delivered by the Rev. Dr. Blakeney, the Rev. Messrs. Firth and Bayley, and other gentlemen interested in the dissemination of religions and literary principles amongst the working classes. YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.—In conse quence of the demand made to gain admission to hear Dr. Cumming's lecture on "TheFuture of England in Prophecy," (which was delivered at the Collegiate Institution,on Tuesday night,) the talented divine kindly consented to redeliver his eloquent discourse. in Hope Hall, Hope-street, yesterday afternoon. As on the former occasion, the Hall was crowded by an attentive and enthusiastic audience, who cordially greeted the accomplished speaker with loud burst of applause. Houma - Av's Pisr.s.—General debility, low spirits, and nervous irritation are the consequences of dyspepsia or indi gestion. The pills soon give tone to the stomach, renovate the digestive powers, purify the blood, and give strength to the whole system. Sluggishness of the body and depression of the mind are succeeded by a cheerful activity of the physical and mental functions. Indigestion is the parent of so many evils, and is so common, so almost universal a complaint, that it is a great blessing that such a remedy as this invaluable medicine should have been discovered. No one need long suffer from indigestion with these pills at hand. CONSUMPTION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURABLE. -" I believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas hill, Liverpool, will prove of more value, in cases of bron chitis and incipient consumption, than any other remedy extant. It relieves the insist irritating cough ;no feu minutes; and, although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces sound and refreshiny sleep, soothes the nervous system, and restores the healthy action of the lungs." Recommended above all other medicines by Sir Alexander Tralles—see Thontscrn's Materia Haien., page 175, vol. 2. The following is from Dr. Brett, the eminent chemist :—" I consider the balsam of hore hound and aniseed, as prepared by Mr. Martin, an elegant and efficient cough remedy, and I fully agree with Sir Alexan der Tralles and Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson, that, in conjunc tion with cod liver oil, it is an admirable remedy for con sumption and delicate constitutions."—R. H. Brett, Ph. Dr., M.R.C.S., late Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurispru dence, Liverpool Royal Infirmary. The balsam of horehound and aniseed is prepared only by T. Martin, chemist, 22, Cop peras-hill, Liverpool ; but, owing to its great and increasing sale, agents have been appointed in all principal towns and cities.
