His object was to legalise bbnci fide transactions on the Stock Exchange, while the bill of the Government adopted the objectionable principle of legalising the gambling transactions .--the most precarious add dangerous system of gaming in existence. He asked the House to encourage real business proeeedings rather than a demoralising spirit of speculation.

DEATH OF A MEDICAL OFFICER.—We much regret to record the death of . Mr. J. Allder Vincent,, one of the District Medical Officers of the parish of Liverpool, at the early age of 28 years, from fever, caught in the diligent performance of his onerous duties amongst the sick poor of the over-crowded district assigned to his charge. Mr. Vincent was elected to the office `he so ably filled only about a year ago, upon testimonials of the very highest character, and, which his conduct and skill in the treatment of the sick under his care must have amply verified. He may be said, indeed, to have fallen a sacrifice to the faithful discharge of his duties, which were evidently too laborious for one medical officer to sustain. His attention and kindneis to the poor had already made him much beloved amongst them, and they deeply deplore his untimely death; the more so, since they have had only too many and painful evidences of his devotion to their welfare. Mr. Vincent was, in his profession, a young man of superior attain ments and great skill ; whilst in social life he had worthily secured the respect and esteem of all who knew him, arid by whom his too early removal is sincerely lamented.

In re John Webster : This bankrupt, a joiner and builder at Wavertre_e, came lip on his adjourned last examination. Mr. Worship, on the part of the assignees, complained of the unsatisfactory character of the balance-sheet, and examined the bank rupt with reference to various items in the accounts. Mr. Alfred Samuel', who appeared for the bankrupt, was heard in explanation. His Honour said he con sidered the balance-sheet verYunsatisfactory ; but as the assignees wished to avoid the expense of an adjournment, he would allow the bankrupt to pass, reserving all questions on matters of account till the certificate sitting, w hich was afterwards appointed for the itth of June. • INTERESTING PRESENTATION.—On Monday evening a few gentlemen, connected with the Water Guard department of this port, presented to Richard Potbury, Esq., late chief inspector of the river, a valuable gold watch. and a testimonial, as a tribute of their esteem and respect for his impartiality, and their appreciation of the beneficial results which have followed the great changes in the service while under, his supervision. The testimonial bore the signatures of 120 of the officers of the Water Guard department. Mr. Potbury briefly returned thanks for the honour paid to him, and expressed his pleasure at the satisfaction that his efforts had given to the officers of the department. To an old and zealous civil servant such a tribute would be at any time appropriate; but it is the more so in the present ease, from the fact that Mr. Potbury was appointed er • chief inspector at a time when things were in a ra ther un satisfactory s t a t e , an d that un d er hi s m anagement the to titer Wa ter Guard has advanced to a position second to no elmilar body in the kingdom.

NEW SCHOOLS IN TOXTETH PARK. Yesterday, at noon, the foundation . stone of the National Schools,•which are to be erected in connection with Holy Trinity Church, Toxteth Park, was laid by, the Rev. H. Postance, incumbent of the parish. The district is one which contains, perhaps, a greater amount of abject wretchedness and poverty, in propOrtion to its extent, than any other parish' in the town ; and is one, therefore, in which the peculiar operation and influence of national schools will be in the highest degree benefi cial. The respected incumbent—the Rev. Henry .Postance, to whose untiring assiduity and 'zeal the district, is so much indebted for the marked moral improvement that has taken place there since the com mencement of his ministrations—has laboured very zea 'lously to obtain funds for the erection of the schools, and, aided by Several friends, he has been entirely suc cessful. The schools which it is proposed to build will consist of thi‘ee large rooms, each about 45 feet by 18 feet, well lighted on both sides, the,lower one 15 feet and the upper ones 14 feet high. Each is provided with the 'parallel desks and galleries required by the Committee of Council on Education. A commodious class room communicates with each school, and all are approached by a fire-proof stone staircase fkom the ground. Ample accommodation is also provided in washing' other closets, and means for making tea during school festivals, together - With a 'vicious play ground. The master's house, which is attached, con tains parlour, kitchen, scullery, and three bedrooms. The mistress's apartments, which are quite distinct from the last, contain kitchen, parlour, and one bed room; 'all have separate yards. In the centre of the stone was deposited a leaden box containing copies of the' Daily Times and other papers, and the following inscription : " This foundation-stone of the Church of England National Schools, Holy Trinity, Toxteth Park, was laid by the incumbent, the Rev. Henry Postance, May 8, 1860. Alfred Stephens and'Thomas Harrison, church wardens. Building Committee : Francis Mill, Alfred Stephens, Win. Rd. Winch, Daniel .Clark, john Fleyes WilsOn, Charles Groves. George Williams, architect. Contractors : J. and R. Duckworth, Thomas Williams, William. Goodall, Knowles and Erlam. Cost of site, £1,700 ;' cost of erection, £1,649. £949 of the above sums were obtained by grant from the Privy Council." The proceedings were opened by the choir singing a hymn, atter which Mr. GROYES*I 7 —I have undertaken the office . of presenting my friend, 71ir. Postance, with a trowel, to lay tbe first stone of the new schools, because it gives me the oppottunity and the pleasu,re of congratida ting hint in public on his success in accomplishing a most arduous work. It is not quite four years since Mr. Postance commenced the effort of raising funds for the church. At first it was thought that less than £2,000 would suffice, but the plan was enlarged, and at last it was found that £4,000 was required, which, however,- he Obtained, and the church was consecrated in December, 1858. Bnt he felt that the work was incomplete with• out schools, for which veigly £2,ooo.more was required. besides the Government grant of SO5O. Few people probably, would have attempted to raise such an B.lequnl so soon after the former effort, but his faith and perse. verance, bis " prayer and Pains," carried him through and, as I. remarked on a former occasion, I consider tha he whole town is indebted to him for his exertion in endeavouring to supply the spiritual wants of a district that had been grievously neglected. There is one point in connection with the church on which I should wish to say feW words, The endowment of it consists of two houses, of which the get rental is only about £36. This certainly ought to be increased, If I am spared for another year I may, perhaps, make an -attempt in this direction, The Eeclesiastical Commis sioners afford great encouragement by giving in some cases an equal amount to what is raised locally. I hope also to receive encouragement from another quarter, for I may mention, as a pleasing fact, that I find an unusual number of ladies in the list of subscribers f o r the church and One lady sent me £2O anonymously for the schools. thislarge town, increasing in population about 12,000 every year„ and having some districts con:- tainingabont 0,009 souls, I wish we had more men of the spirit and perseverance of Mr. Postance to undertake like efforts. It is certainly a long and trying task, and one under which a man may often be ready to faint from weariness arid disappointment ; but thus his trust in the help of the Lord is tried and strengthened, and he will find a goodly number (would there were more) who will help him from the highest motive, who realise the language of one otour greatest divines, Bishop Butler, who says that " Christianity is to be considered• - as trust deposited with us in behalf' of others, in behalf of mankind, as well as for our own instraction. 46 . one has a right to be called a Christian who does not do somewhat in his station towards the discharge of this trust." I have very great pleasure in handing Mr. Postance this trowel. The Rev. H. POSTANCE then read the following address : " Dear Mr. Groves and Christian friends,—lt is no my choice that I take so prominent a part in the pro ceedings of this day. Many by whom I am now surrounded can testify that I have endeavoured that some persons more worthy than myself should have con ferred upon them this distinction, The honour, doubtless, belongs to our friend, Mr. C. Groves, to whom this whole town . owes a debt of gratitude, and myself and district in particular. It is not too much to say that it is owing to his efforts that we are met under such favourable circumstances to-day. When the Lords of the Privy Council rejected the small site on which we first intended to build, his large heart and faith embraced the wider and more perfect scheme which we are now enabled to carry out. .Thereare, also, two other gentlemen, viz., 4r. F. mip and Mr. JOhn Eden, whose kind advice, encouragement, support, and co-operation, I can never forget. And though the latter has been a cheek at times upon my impetuous spirit, yet it has always been for the wisest and beit of purposes. Nor must I forget to mention, that when we appeared to stick fast in the midst of peca niary difficulties, the firms of Messrs. Peek and Winch, and Messrs. Collet and Hafriilton dispersed the dark cloud by most liberal and timely aid, even though they had given before again and again. And while ' I am on this head, Idesire to express my thanks to all the contributors, wile, by their liberality, have placed us in our present position. It may not be out of place here to say something about my con nection with this district, not, indeed, for my own sake, but rather for the sake of the contributors. It is now Omit five years since my lot 'was cast in this place, during which time I }aye endeayonred, amidst many faults and much feebleness, to promote the welfare of the people committed to my charge; and I am sure, were it not for the migratory habits of the people, that a great change for the better would show itself more clearly. :Rut this calls for the exercise of much faith and patience. Lei u; hope that the good--seed has fallen upon these wanderers, and that it will At length bring forth fruit to the glory and honour. of God. About five years ego I took my first walk through this district, with the Rey. Hew Hampton, who was then the incumbent of St. James's, and i remem ber him saying that it was a most hopeless spot. There were at that time twenty-two houses in the district devoted entirely to the purposes of prostitu tion,' and these contained seyenty-five unfortunate women. The labouring man who was anxious to discharge the duties of his humble calling, was disturbed at all hours of the night with brawls from these wretched places ; but it is not so now, though my , people still require much further reformation. Many , of those poor women •to whom I have alluded found a refuge in those excellent institutions, the penitentiaries of our town, and those who did, not reforni left our district one by one, till now (so far as I know) we have not a prostitute left. In this work of moral reformation I have been greatly assisted by those gentle men in connection with the Domestic Mission, who now pass the compliment upon our district that, ' s eeing it is pe Well cared for, they now turn their atten tion more fully to those places where their services are more required ; and lest I shOnkl seem to be bearing testimony of myself in this matter, I desire t o turn your attention to the Liverpool papers of the 23rd of January, 1858, where you will find Mr. Clough, superintendent of police, giving evidence be fore the learned Recorder of this town, and saying that there is a decided change for the better in this dis trict. When I first hegan to preach the gospel in this locality I was pelted with stoo l Pd obliged to take shelter in the garret of a popr man; bpi, thank God, this is no longer the case. I now feel myself per fectly !wave . in the midst of even the less reformed of m y people. No district, lam sae, is more accessible to the Visits of the Christian minister. The erection . of a church in this place has already been a great bles sing to.many ; and now that schools are being erected for the accommodation of 400 children, I look for still greater results. I know that some are ready to say, an 4 baye said, that a large sum of money has been expended in this district ; b4t if we than we intended to spend, it is because we have live spent more done more than we intended to do ; and yet we have not done more than the district required. Let us then honestly explain how this money has been spent. The site of the church, with the election and endowment, cost £3,800; £5OO of thi s sum was o btained by grant from the Church Building £949 has beenip;ozisl by the O fromfggrants, this hs Society. The site of the schools, with the erection and master's house, will cost £3,359, ef which add the cost of the church and schools toget t he e r, donations Lords of Privy Council on Education t b h e e en gra ob n .t d o4 to od tal b o y f t grand total, then, £1,449 has been obtained by and £5,8 0 1 has tradesmen of the town. Seeing, then, w and how we have got it, let us next inquire w w e het a h v e e r g w e have wasted our money upon architectural adornments. Ist. The cost of the site alone for the ehureh and schools was ;,100, and we have no control OYU the price of land in this 2nd. Suppose, that endowment of chart}} • then, the -4, is Iv9TP4 ?ply £6OO, in the two houses which join the church on tbe . upper side in Par liament-street, Nos. 70 and 72, producing a rental of 090 4§9 pig? then we *9 a 000 1 f y 9f hmaterchahewnereh,aawnytede TiIE_DAIEY TI ES, WRDI'stESDAV, MAY' 6,° 1860., the erection of church and schools and a master's house, and this sum includes the architect's commission, the legal ' expenses, and ' the furnishing of the church and schools. Surely, this is not a great sum for the accomplishment of so good and great an object. We wanted schools in this district, as there are no others than those of the Domestic Mission, and their numbers from my district are not large ; for, though in day and night scholars and Sunday scholars, they have on the books more than 400, yet only 12 from us, out of at least 1,000 children who ought to be at school ; and, if any should say that there is room for our children in the schools of the adjoining districts, I say that there is room little enough for even the Protestant children of these districts. And, further, it must be admitted that it is most desirable that each clergyman should have the education of the children of his own district under his own eye. I would conclude by saying that, though I felt great reluctance in complying with the request to lay this stone, yet I feel thankful that so good a work is begun, which I trust will prosper to its close. We have now 200 children in our temporary Sunday School, and I trust that by this time next year we shall have twice this number. And now, though I still wish for the merchants to give me a few annual subscriptions, to keep the schools at work, yet I trust that the tradespeople of the neighbourhood will flock around me, and co-operate with me in this good work, that, as the merchants have • given us a start, we may trouble them as little as pos sible in the future. If we would hand down our country as the glory of the world, we must educate our children; if these young minds are not trained they will run wild, and produce ranch evil. The problem of a nation' s prosperity is solved in the religious and intellecttud edu: cation of the people. Mr. FRANK MILL said he had taken the warmest interest in the success of the schools, and he congratu lated the incumbent on the progress which had been made in providing means for the education of the children in the district. He had accompanied Mr. Postance in asking for contributions, and bore testimony to the readi- ness and liberality with which they were received by the merchants of Liverpool, and mentioned that the list of subscribers contained n4any Dissenters. (If ear, bear.) Mr. W. GREQSQN then addressed the siserubly, and said he rejoiced at the prospect of obtaining such excel lent schools. A church they had already, but a church without schools was like a fold for the sheep without a fold for the lambs also. (Hear, hear.) The merchants and the ladies of Liverpool had done their work nobly, and it remained for the parents of those children who would be received in the school to complete the work by aiding the incumbent in his efforts to reform the inhabitants of the gstriat, The speaker enlarged upon he advantages alid the nesea4ty of education, and urged . . the people of the parish to endeavour to make their ch drew better than themselyes in that respect. The Rev, IL PDSTAXPE, iu the course of an iuterestiog address, avowed his belief that it was Hopeless to attempt to elevate the adult population of the district. They had been utterly neglected when young, and the work of reformation must therefore be directed to the benefit of the children. The proceedings were shortly afterwards brought to a close. The silver trowel which was presented tq the incumbent bore the subjoined inscription :—" Preseided the Rev. Henry Postance, incumbent of Holy Trinity Church, Toxteth-park, on the occasion of his laying the Foundation stone of the National Schools in connection with that church, May Bth, 1860."

CHARLES KEAN AT TH'E THEATRE-ROYAL.- . Last night Mr. and Mrs. C. Kean appeared here in the translation of Casimir Delavigne's play of "Louis X 1.," in which Mr. Kean plays the character of The .ICing—a- character so well suited to his extraordinary abilities, that it might have been specially written for him. As this is the first time the piece has been presented to a Liverpool audience, and as its repetition is sure to be demanded, we shall in troduce our notice of the play by a brief account of that part of French history which it is so admirably calcu lated to illustrate. Louis XI., King of France, son of Charles VII., was born in 1423. In 1440 he left the court, and put himself at the head of an in surrection. Charles defeated the rebels, and executed some of them, but pardoned his son, and latterly became entirely reconciled to him. The son, however, having soon entered into new conspiracies, was obliged to take refuge in Burgundy, and lived there some years in a dependant condition. The father died in 1461, through fear of being, poisoned, or, as some have said, from having been poisoned, by his son. Louis, on hearing of his father's death, instantly mounted his horse, and hastened to Rheima, where he was crowned. He was then in his 39th year. He had considerable shrewdness and penetration, but every faculty of his mind was perverted by being directed to unworthy ends. He was cruel, malignant, and ungrateful, and was never known to forgive' an injury or repay a kindness, unless, indeed, he had some selfish object to gain by it. He was, moreover, so excessively cunning and artful that his whole life was one =tinned act of deceit. He was avaricious by nature, but often prodigal through policy; saving even to parsim'ony in his personal expenses, especially in his dress, which commonly consisted of a coarse jacket, but liberal in his presents, or rather bribes, to persons ' whose services he could in no other way secure. He was a stranger to every kindly feeling and natural affec tion; and never was a man more feared and distrested by all wile had tq do with him, and more hated and despised by all who have known end nnderstood his character and deeds. The first act of his government was to deprive his brother of everything his 'tither had given him, excepting the oounty of Berri. He dismissed his father's ministers, and turned off all the officers of the household and replaced them by men of low extrac tion and mean habits—barbers, tailors, &c.—who, he thought, would be more subservient to his will than he could expect persons of higher station to be. For an account of the various struggles and stratagems by which this unprincipled and cruel nicieareli gradually evereame or outlived 44 most feared and hated rivals we must refer our readers to history, some of the inci dents of which have been so finely portrayed by Sir Walter Scott in his Quentin Durward. We need only note here the fact that among other acts of crime Louis destroyed his brother, the Duke of Berri, by administering poison to him in an apricot. Now was the time when, instead of enjoying, as he had hoped, the fruits of his labours, he was to pay penalty of his crimea. From about this period of his history are taken the incidents of the play, in which, however, the real history, of course, is not necessarily followed with close precision. His constitution was breaking down, and the fear of death filled him with indescribable horrors. He hail the first warning of its dreaded approach in March, 1480, when, as he was sitting at dinner, he was suddenly deprived of speech awl apse by an attack of something like apoplexy. He remained ctqf t e clays it} that condition, and although he partially recovered from the effects of this attack, he never after wards regained his former health. As his bodily strength declined the malevolence of his temper increased, and he became more jealous and saspidioue than ever. Conscious, as he himself, in an exhortation to his son, acknowledged "that he had grievously oppressed his people," he lived in continual dread of their retaliation. He shut himself up in his castle of Plessis, near Tours ; and, in addition to the customary fortifications, caused it to be surrounded with ditches, in which were placed iron' spikes ; and, not daring to trust to the fidelity of his own subjects, he had a band of foreign archers, who kept guard at the gate of the castle day and night. The castle could only be entered I by a wicket, vrhich 0044 bat qne person at a time, and he suffered no person of rank to be lodged within it, excepting an imbecile lord, who had married his eldest and favourite daughter, and whom he thought incapable of ferming dangerous machinations against him. Louis had the greatest possible dread of the nobles and - princes of the blood, and kept them at a distance. His chief and familiar associates were liver le Pain, his barber; Tristan l'Herinite, his executioner; and Jacques CoitiO, his physician. To the last of these this most tyrannical monarch was an absolute slave. The artful Coitier pretended that an astrologer had predicted that his death should take place a few days before that of the king; and the king consequently watched over his life with anxious care, loaded him with presents, and sub mitted to all his insolence and humours. The more Louis became conscious of his declining state, the more he sought to conceal it from the 'Toed. But though' he enclear94o.4 tq deceive' gibers, ha conid not deceive hipaseLf. The nearer death approached the more his dread of it increased. To ward it — off - he tried all the arts of • superstition. He caused himself to be anointed with the holy oil from Rheims ; he loaded himself with the relics of the saints, and sent processions to their shrines, praying that they would prevent the north-east wind from blov(ing, because it seemed to increase his disorder; bit he placed his greatest hopes in Vrangois de . F A ' ide, a holy hermit of tJalabria, TOO had the reputation of working miracles and of restoring to health by his prayers. He sent for him to Toars t and frequently on his knees besohght him to prolong his life. The holy man in vain repre sented to him that the power of prolonging it lay only with God; and bade him turn his thoughts towards the next world, instead of thinking su exclusively of this. These miserable struggles to avert the inevitable hand of death were soon, however, to terminate. After being, as was supposed, almost, if not wholly dead, he momen tarily revived, and would gladly heve resumed 116 crown ; but death finally ir i tarponed. lie died in 1483, having lived t years, and reigned 22. It is said that Louis XL caused upwards of 4,000 persons to be put to death by different means of torture and execution, marl of which he himself took pleasure in witnessing. This false, sordid, cruel, and impioes man To the first French monarch who received the title of *on Cifutsusie KING ! His eldest son succeeded him as Charles VIII. The play is not so much an elaborated plot as a succession of scenes in which the character of the king is brought out to advantage. The Due de Nemours of the play is the son of the former duke, whom Louis caused to be cruelly executed. The young Due, supposed to have been also effectually put out of the way, appears at court under a disguised name, as envoy from Bur gundy. The king accidentally discovers that there is some mystery about him, and worms out the secret from his lady-love. While PcOtending to, agree to concede the object of the disguised envoy's mission, he secretly concocts his death, and in the mean time the news of the defeat and death of the Duke of Burgundy arrived, when Louis drops his mask, charges the envoy VeAtlit being the Due de Nemours, and orders him into cnstody. Through the friendship of the court physician, Nemours is set at liberty, but instead of taking himself to flighty, secretes himself in the king's chamber, and, on lAnding the king alone, accuses him of his tether's murder, and places a dagger to the king's broskst. The king falls insensible, and the duke, rather than kill him, leaves him to die of remorse, and escapes, but is re-caught. The physician is imprisoned. Death approaches. The holy friar cannot save him by miracle. The king privately confesses—but such a confession of the most awful crimes—which ho yet excuses, and absolution is denied him. The doctor is released only when it is too late to apply his, healing art. The bell tolls for, the cecution Of liemours,, and the king himself, in the moment of death, with difficulty is per saaded to pardon the duke, The last scene of the royal life is one of despairing agony, such as none could desire to behold in real life, and which are even most touching and instructive in the mirror of Art. As we have said, the play might have been written for the purpose of enabling Mr. Kean to, assume the character of the King, it is 19 well suited to his capa bilities. The sudden changes from business to religion, and haek again to thoughts of murder—the momentary [ seriousness and sudden revulsion ta prosaic common place—the sneers at all kind or generous feeling on the part of the Dauphin, with the significant remark, "I was a Dauphin myself once," contrasted with his cringing terror, when he fears danger to himself —afford scope for all those sudden changes " from grave to gay, from lively to severe," and from high-$:4% poktry to every-day life, which marked the innovation, of Mr. Kean's father upon the Kemble school of acting, We can imagine what old I(eau 'would have done with such a character, and Mr. Charles Kean has realised that conception with success. The dying scene was terribly grand—such as Mr. Charles Kean alone can picture. In all the scenes with the Due de Ne mours, with the Dauphin, with the Coutt Physician (exceedingly well played by Mr. J. C. Cew,pe;), and with Tristan l'Hermite (played by Mr. G. Everett, brought down by Mr. Kean), the spirit of the wile was fait4f\illy kept up,' and with great truth and expression. The scenes in which the superstitious workings 'of the royal mind were depicted, were graphic and moving beyond description. We have never seen Mr. Kean to such advantage in any chit. racter. The whole weight of the yerfor,zrytnce seems to fall upon him, yet he trkaiiiiswea the character throughout with une x ampled fidelity and unflagging energy. We never sat in an, audience ions entranced with interest in the progress , of the plot, al l 4. ttletr appi,ause was rqost eAthAsiasti,c. Mr..

They are pleasant looking ladles and neat actresses.' Mri" Cathcart, who took - the part of the Dub de Nemoure, was • a very great acquisition, an-4 bids fair to be a first-rate actor. What he had to do last night lie did very well. Mr. W. Cooper came in very usefully as the representa tive of Oliver le Dain, the barber minister, and Mr. Lunt made a very good friar. We hope that " Louis XI." will be repeated oftener than once. The audience was numerous and fashionable. To-night " The Wife's Secret" will be produeed—a melodrama of intense interest, in which Mr, and Mrs. Kean appear to the very best advantage.

The rev. gentleman reappeared in the pulpit on Sunday. "Angus," of the Post, says :—" Pullinger has been talked of very much as connected with the turf, but it is extraordinary to think he never saw a race in his life, although he had Clemanthe and several others in training in connection with a gentleman at Reading. I regret to state, however, he has victimised Mr. Parr out of £6,000 worth of securities, which he deposited in a box in his charge at the bank, and which it is feared the directors will not refund.*' From the same authority we learn that " William Days horses are all to be sold on Bath racecourse, as in future he is only going to train far his employers; and those who wish to possess the Promised Land may like to hear they will have to write a cheque for three thousand guineas for him ; and as a trial horse he is worth every shilling of the money." TWENTY - FOUR HEAD OF CATTLE BURNBIL TO DEATH.—On Sunday evening, a most destructive fire broke out on the prem ises, of Mr. Gilliam Thornycroft, farmer, of the nlnock Farm, Gawsworth, near Mactiltis field. The flames were discovered issuing from one of the shippons, and efforts were at once made to get out the cattle. Upon effecting an entrance, however, it became evident that the fire had been raging with con siderable fury in the interior of the building for some time. The charred carcases of cows, heifers, and stirks were strewn in all directions ; and whilst efforts were being made to rescue whatever of the stock might sot already have been destroyed, -the ceiling of the shippons fell in, burying the cattle which were still alive. The timely arrival of the engine from Macclesfied saved *e farmhouse from destruction, but the spacioua pile of outbuildings was completely gutted. A considerable quantity of hay, and were' head of cattle were saved. The loss, which includes 24 head of cattle, is said to be covered by insurance, DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE IN A CHAPEL AT WAKEFIELD. —An extraordinary and dastardly outrage was perpe trated early on Sunday morning, at.the Baptist. (Inde pendent) Chapel, Wakefield, which remains enshrouded ' in great mystery. Shortly before service time, en the' morning named, the chapel-keeper went to the chapel for the purpose of performing his usual duties, when he , found that the place had been desecrated shortly previous, as the walls, pulpit, and nearly, all the pews, were saturated with"coal tar. On further examination it was also ascertained that nearly , the whole of the valuable books belonging to the establishment and the congregation had. been thrown into the baptismal font (which was full of water), and coal tar poured in, so as to render the • worthless. Informatton was at once giyen to the, chief constable of the borough force, Mr. lf‘Pouald, and this vigilant °fiber feund, on inspection of the chapel, iicces had been gained by forcing, open one of the school-room windows. In an ashpit adjacent was discovered a bucket which had recently contained coal tar, also a painter's brush, and a pair of leather gloves, all of which had been used by the perpetrators of the disgraceful act. The two former has since been identified by a man u,s,med George, Senior, who resides iu the George and Crown Yard, Northgate, and who night previous, Notwith s t an di ng t h e most strenuous ass.erta that they were stolen from hi s premises on the exertions of the police, not.the slightest clue, to the par- ties has yet been obtained. A reward of £lO is offerecl for such information as will lead to the conviction of the miscreants. In the absence of any, other ,cause, the act is supposed to have conneetion with some religious differences which recently arose amongst the congregae tion respecting their minister.—Leeds Expres.s- THE GREAT. FAILURE; IN Ananuargq.—The s a d consequences of the great failure of the firm of John and Anthony. Blaikie, advocates' and land factors,: Aber deen, are daily becoming more apparent. Th'e total amount of the shortcomings of Mr. John Blaikie is ', e t down as at least £300,000 ; and in this sum is ~ .,'"icallowed up the savings of tradesmen, the scanty milons of not a few widows and maiden ladies !;ailies who have seen better days, th e rents a many large landed pro prietors, and a l so i t is 4‘l monies intended to be -- r '. invested security and in bond ; while 'a noble earl well known in tho, Free Church religious Community, and who takes 'lsis title from a royal burgh not twenty miles diotant from Aberdeen is reported to be in for not lei than £lOO,OOO. In truth it may be said there was unbounded Confidence placed in John Blackie. He is it member of a family who for half a century at least have most worthily held the very highest name and credit in the north of Scotland. His father and uncle —men of untainted reputation and honour—both for years held the office of Lord Provost of Aberdeen ; his brother-in-law is, without doubt, the most popular and eminent Free Church minister in the same place, while he himself Wall looked upon as one of the kindest-hearted and ablest business men in his native city, and as such was a great favourite amongst all classes. Not yet past the prime and vigour of life, an accomplished scholar, a very graceful and effective public speaker, he was, with out opposition, elected a few years back a member of the town council, for the chief chair of which he has often been named. His business duties, however, soon made him withdraw from all municipal honours. In the country, as in the town, he was held in much estimation. He was commissary clerk for Aberdeenshire • —a sinecure office which yielded £6OO yearly, and thb extent of the private business of the Blaikie firm may be in some measure calculated from the circumstance lat they employed nearly 20 legal and other assiatantL [t is but right to state while as yet nothing seems to be known of the whereabouts of Mr. John Blaikie, his younger brother and partner, Mr. Anthony, 'remains at his post using every effort to get matters into the beit order possible. It is believed on every baud that this gentleman was ignorant of, and quite free from, any of the unfortunate ventures which have led to the present lamentable state of aftltirt—wentures which may be described as wild speculations in American railway lines and large cargoes of teas and silks. Soulless or THIC SOCIAL EvYt. : —ln• London and other large towns how many servants-of-all-work are there, each isolated in a decent family, and not permit ted to have "followers." Yonder sits one in an under- ground kitchen, her day's work done, and her fingers employed in sewing. Not a soul is near to her, and her whole nature craves for companionship. From time to time the bell rings, and she runs up stairs to take orders from a highly. respectable mistress, who suffers no replies or arguments, being thoroughly convinced that " fami liarity breeds contempt," especially with servants. Her care of her domestic amounts only to care for her own apparent interests. She must rise early, and do her work to the letter; she must not talk to the tradespeople at the door ; she must wear a cap of a peculiar out, and gowns of a peculiar make and fashion. Not a soul must come into the hOuse, for fear of thieves; but once a month the poor girl is turned loose for her holiday, to go whither she will, and seek what associates she may. If the daughter of the house were in question, she would be watched, and guarded, and talked to, and. caressed; but the servant of the same age, and with a stronger and more excitable frame, a healthy and invit ing look, and gushing over with desire for sympathy and fellowship, "end as ignorant as the daughter of the world's ways, is left to chance ; If she goes wrong she can be turned away, and another servant be got, the child of some other working man. The,safety of a pOor girl in such circumstances lies in her faMily being near her to absorb her sympathies ; but in many cases this is thought objectionable, as involving " followers." lite perfection of a servant, amongst narrow-minded people, is held to be the absence .of all sympathy save for her work. The more the, twain, being—provided she be not a thief ? a 4ruuliard, or dirty in habits, or rude in manners to her mistress—the more like to a machine the better—the less chance will there be of her going astray. But if the poor girl possesses affections and 411 those qualities which constitute a kindly :nature, the more probably, in her isolated state, • craving for'sym pathv, will she become the dupe of the designin g , if tempted, And then she is made a pariah.

Bridges .4 - 4144$ p * th e tarofkofriwitiv.. THE FIGHL:FOE TPR CHAMPIONSHIP, I The match has hitherto been scarcely noticed in France. The _Mats, however, now publishes an article by M. John Leruoinne, in which he say s 'W e see in this struggle the old world and the new pitted ag a i nst each other—old England 'and young America. The American giant is tall and robust like the trees of the new world. He is built after the pattern of- its forest lakes and rivers, he is the type of primitive nature. Hi s opponent is the model of the old world, the concentrated product of centuries, the essence of civilisation, the creature of art. This Englishman is a masterpiece of cultivation. But we must never forget that both the athletes are men of the same blood and race. It is England in its adolescence and England in its virility, but still the same England. Between the two there is rivalry, but no enmity. The two boxers may fight each other like Homer's heroes, but they would unite against a foreigner. The Englishman cannot help being proud when he sees an American. He says, 'ltis I who made him what he is.' He is proud of the blows he receives from his formidable child, and recognises his own blood. We desire to observe here how thoroughly this Englishman, Savers, represents his nation. Patient endurance, indomitable energy, invin cible perseverance, a tacit oath to die rather than yield—those distinguishing attributes of the English character are strongly marked in this pugilistic drama. Although we may scandalise some delicate tastes, we cannot help admiring that miraculous fortitude and power of will which sustained the Englishman while fighting for two hours with one arm against the human avalanche which was continually rolling against hitu. Five and twenty times was he flung upon the sward, and five arid twenty times he rose again, the living image of England on the field of battle. History tells us that Englishmen are always beaten in the, first campaign ; like all men of strong character, they gather force from misfortune. It seems that, like Ant sus, they must kiss the earth before they know their strength, for after a series of defeats we find them ever masters of the field of battle. If they are not thoroughly heater.' at first, their destruc tion will be a work of time. But there is still another reason which has made uS allude to this singular fight. We mean the profound and universal and ardent interest which it has aroused in England, and which seems to us to have a .political significance. During the last year and a halt' volunteer rifle corps have been formed in England, and the newly-awakened popular interest in the recent fight is intimately connected with the prevalent idea among English men of the necessity of taking measures for the defence of their territory. Several of the French newspapers, in speakiug of this fight, have only seen in it a rude and disgusting exhibition. For our selves we recognise the play of animal instinct, but we think that there is something else to which attention should be paid. The first defence of England consists in her wooden walls ; but her second line of defence consists in the broad chests and formidable arms whi c h play their part in contests like that which we have described. England sees in them a provision for the defence of the country. Such, it seems to us, is the moxal of this fight—such the explanation of the interest it has excited in every class of English society —sand such is our excuse for having occupied the attention of our readers with a description of it." ssporting fltd.ligrart. [ DONCASTER RACES— :ESTERDAY. TRIAL STAKES. Stockton 1 Ripon COUNTY COURT—YEsTEsuAT. (Before W. lEULTON, Esq.) Ea AN v. WHEELAN.—The parties in this case were marine-store dealers, the plaintiff carrying on business in St. Helens, and the defendant in Edmund-street in this town. In the year 1857 the defendant applied to the plaintiff for a loan of £l4 lOs., and in the month of August that sum was taken to the defendant by the plaintiff's Wife. sometime afterwards 41 . 9. ggatt went to the defendant's house and asked him for the money. He returned it, but upon stating that• he was going to the Isle of Man, and would want some money, plaintiff's wife re-lent him the £l4 los. About two months after the second lending of the money the defendant's wife called at the plaintiff's house and paid £lO, saying that she would pay the balance as soon as possible. Since that time the defendant has repudiated the debt, and the present action was brought to recover the £4 10s. Mr. Hime appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Gray for the defendant. On behalf of the latter it was stated that no second loan had taken place, and that no money was owing. Verdict for the plaintiff. COMMITMENTS.—JOIIII Foster, 81 Paradise-street, ten days; Donald. Campbell, fourteen days in a month; William Minus, Edge-bill, fourteen days; John Xavan, Cornwallis-street, fourteen days ; Edwin Heskin, Can ning -chambers, fifteen days, suspended for a month ; James M'Dona, fourteen days in a month. In the case of M'Ewan v. Kelly the plaintiff was nonsuited. TIIE FIREMAN'S WIDOW. TO TIP EDITOR OP THE DAILY TIMES. Sta,—Robert Hardacre, late police-constable 384, served faithfully iu our force for upwards of fifteen years. His conduct was excellent, and bis attention to, his duties unremitting. In his gallant efforts to save life and property during the conflagration at the Sailors' Home, this truly courageous man was unfortunately killed. He has left a widow and six children, the eldest under 13 years old, to deplore the loss of an attached husband and affectionate father. A seventh child will probably be soon added to the number. Some money has been kindly raised on 'Change and elsewhere ; but it is desirable that the circumstance should be extensively known, so as to give any sympa thising and benevolent person the opportunity of increas ing the fund, by which means the widow may be placed in some way of husiness to enable her to bring up in respectability her young and 'helpless family. Mr. Castellain and Mr. Hutchison will join me in receiving any further sums, and in taking care that the amount is judiciously expended sq that the assistance may he per manent. I therefore venture to solicit contributions for this object, and feel assured that the appeal on behalf of the widow and family of a brave and meritorious officer will not be in yain,77Yours, Benson-street, May Bth, 1860.
